The other guards either died in the void or in the recent battle; this was all that the Second Prince Tius had left.
"Big brother...I have something to say."
"What? Second brother, you've recovered?"
Dalark stared in astonishment at Tius, who had regained consciousness, before turning to look at the messenger.
This is the kind of awakening you were talking about when you said your second brother was awakening.
"Fourth brother... Fourth brother is helping us now. We can't rush outwards; we need to enter the capital."
The second prince, Titus, made a startling statement that immediately shocked all the royal family members present.
"How is that possible?"
The Empire has become what it is today because Ignar willingly served the Void.
Why would he help us?
"Your consciousness hasn't fully returned yet. Take the Second Prince away first."
No! That's not how it is!
We must get into the capital. Father Emperor's condition is very unstable right now, and this may be our chance to save him!
"And you have no idea about the Void's plan. They deliberately left an opening for everyone to retreat, but troops have already been laid in ambush along the retreat route. They have the ability to traverse space; how could you possibly outrun them!"
What? !
Everyone was shocked by the ability to travel through space in the void. If that's really the case, how did they manage to achieve such a record of killing their way through?
Adding their current predicament further confirms that the Void deliberately lured them here, and also explains the possibility of a Void ambush.
But...
The eldest prince's face immediately darkened. To be honest, he did not want to see his father awaken.
Perhaps it was because he and his second brother had been in charge of the empire for so long that he had developed some ambitions that he could no longer hide.
Or perhaps it was his father's failed decision that made him believe he could do better.
He didn't want to go back to being the crown prince for a hundred years unless his father would abdicate voluntarily.
But if he did that, could he still be called an emperor?
"Big brother!"
The third princess, Eletta, looked at her eldest brother, Darlak, though she was somewhat tempted by the idea of saving her father, if... she really could save him!
After thinking for five minutes, Dadlach finally made a decision.
"No, I won't go. It's an adventure, and there are too many factors that determine whether it will succeed. I am a commander, and I must be responsible for the soldiers under my command."
a bolt from the blue!
Both the second prince, Tius, and the third princess, Eletta, stared in disbelief at their eldest brother.
Knowing full well that there was an ambush behind them, should they still insist on retreating?
"Big...Big brother! But..."
"Third sister, if you don't want to go with eldest brother, then lead the royal knights to rescue the general. Second brother, you also come with third sister and experience the frenzied attack of the void before you consider your impossible mission."
Dakra led the Royal Guard in a retreat. They needed to go back and figure out what the Gene Warriors were all about and why they were countered by the Void.
Alemit walked past the Third Princess and the Second Prince, clasping his hands in a fist salute, before leading his group to catch up with the First Prince's entourage.
"What a load of bull!"
You're destined to be a commander your whole life!
The second prince, Tius, was furious. "Damn it! Back then you said I was destined to be a general my whole life!"
Then you should take better care of your troops! Your fourth brother was clearly prepared to fight the void head-on, what a complete bastard!
"Second brother, let's go rescue the general. We'll make a decision after we've helped him."
"Third Sister, you must believe me. If the General has difficulty evacuating, then we'll storm the capital. Igna will come to our aid; he definitely will..."
...
The ambush did indeed occur, and the morale of the royal soldiers around the Crown Prince plummeted. Apart from the Royal Guards led by Alemit at the front, the other soldiers were in low spirits.
"Your Highness, the enemy has three ambush units!"
This is terrible...
As Dalark listened to his subordinates' report, his heart sank. Although he had received news that there was an ambush, he had not expected that the ambush forces would all be gathered together.
He could escape, but he could only leave with the Royal Guard; everyone else would be left behind.
This would greatly reduce his military strength, and even cause him to lose the morale of his troops, leaving him isolated.
Just as he was struggling with this decision, a sudden commotion broke out among the ambush forces in the void. A fierce and powerful man suddenly charged forward and broke up the enemy's formation, giving Alemet and his guards a chance to launch a surprise attack.
