"Instead of running away, they actively joined us in starting the final battle!"
"This is crucial... We must seize this opportunity. If we can severely damage their front, even if the enemy doesn't want to retreat, it will buy us enough time."
Now that things have come to this, the Prime Minister believes that this is not the time to hesitate. If they do not take the initiative, things could get complicated if enemies from both sides press forward.
Looking at the last group of guards protecting the eldest prince, he finally shook his head and left with only his personal guards.
Now they have gathered all eight main forces, and after this battle, the enemy will have to regroup if they want to launch a decent offensive again.
But the Prime Minister never imagined that this was actually a bait trap set by the other side!
Almost at the same moment, the hundreds of void creatures that had gathered on the back mountain also began to move, their target being the eldest prince lying on the bed in the room below!
Having lost the protection of the Prime Minister and his personal guards, the Crown Prince now only has forty or fifty people around him. Ignoring strength, they are at a 1:2 disadvantage...
But the front lines were equally important. The Royal Guards and Protectors suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the decisive battle was not initiated by them, but by the enemy's attack.
The scattered troops currently guarding the west and east are simply not able to get here in time, which is why the Prime Minister had no choice but to personally lead his personal guards to break in.
"Is this the final battle? Why haven't we seen any of the enemy's advanced forces?"
And where are those corrupt Imperial Guards?
Could there be some other conspiracy...?
Watching the battle, Liu Lang felt a sense of oppression.
Right now, Dai and Verania are still fighting on the front lines, after all, they both possess considerable strength.
Liu Lang should have been the same; the three of them together could unleash a fighting force no less than that of a hundred people. However, Queyuer suddenly lost control during the battle just now!
He... he actually killed someone!
Well, actually it wasn't killing anyone, but rather that he had previously been seriously injured or crippled, and now, under Liu Lang's shocked gaze, he had personally killed a Void creature at the late stage of the Seven Stars realm.
Furthermore, Liu Lang sensed that the violent power within him was growing stronger and stronger, so he had no choice but to pull Kuiyuer away from the battlefield.
Fortunately, the Prime Minister also brought troops to support them. The enemy had very few eight-star combatants. They had already killed four of them with Mark and Eletta's help. Eletta also recognized two unfortunate souls who had been corrupted by the void.
Those were people who had been sentenced by the Empire to be banished to the Land of Exile, but no one expected that they would also be corrupted by the Void and become puppets of the Void.
“No, Queyuer is not in good condition. I dare not let him stay here any longer.”
"Hmm, it could be troublesome if he gets out of control. You should evacuate from here first and keep an eye on him on the way."
The Prime Minister immediately ordered Liu Lang to take the not-so-good-condition Queyuer away, as he didn't want to see any unexpected events.
Not long after, the Prime Minister purified the three-headed, seven-star peak void creature in the fierce battle, and upon returning, he heard news that chilled him to the bone.
It turned out that while the battle was raging ahead, a group of void creatures suddenly came down from the back mountain and attacked the Crown Prince and his party!
Fortunately, Royal Guard member Alemit single-handedly held off half of the Void Creatures with his spear, allowing the other guards to carry the First Prince and Hawkehains to the previously prepared retreat route.
But the worst thing was that not long after the operation began, the eldest prince vomited black blood!
Royal apothecary Hawke Hines could only regain consciousness briefly, leaving behind a single sentence.
"If you don't want the eldest prince to die, then put him down quickly!"
Upon hearing Lord Hawkehins's words, they were forced to fight a defensive battle, which is why they had to ask for help from friendly forces!
"Damn it, I'll take my guards back and let the Third Princess..."
"Report!!! Several eight-star auras have suddenly erupted on the battlefield! Our front line is in ruins, Captain Mark is unable to hold them off, requesting emergency support!"
"..."
"We've fallen for their trap..."
The prime minister gritted his teeth and stared into the distance, finally unable to contain his anger any longer, and slammed his fist on the table.
No wonder the enemy has so few high-end combat forces; they've all been waiting for this moment!
Even if the Third Princess Eletta's combat power is at the peak of the eight-star level, it would be impossible for her to defeat the opponent in such a short time.
So he still can't leave!
"Will it be a complete rout, or a faithful rescue?"
Was that Royal Guard lieutenant captain a volunteer... or was he converted?
The Prime Minister looked grim. After drinking a bottle of energy potion, he returned to the battlefield. Time was of the essence, and the message could only be sent to the garrison troops who had not yet arrived.
