Chapter 153: The Fall of the Nation (Part 3)
“What on earth do you want?” Guild Master Mokar asked with a gloomy face.
Zi Yao chuckled and said, “It's quite simple. Regarding the Demon Realm's invasion of humanity, all you need to do is maintain neutrality. At the same time, I promise you that among the mages on the Northern Alliance Continent, I won't touch those who don't actively resist the demon army. Of course, you can also disagree with my proposal and resist the demon army. However, you have to get past me first.”
Guild Master Mokar stared intently at Zi Yao and could only let out a helpless sigh. The fact was plain to see. A six-stage revenant stood right in front of him. If the revenant wanted to kill him, it would be extremely easy. The only reason he hadn't done so was that he was wary of the power of the Floating City. Even if he wanted to resist, he probably didn't have the strength. As the Guild Master of the Magic Guild and concurrently the Headmaster of the Magic Academy, Mokar had to make plans for the mages on the Northern Alliance Continent.
Inside the Magic Academy.
Vice-Headmaster Odonko had already gathered the remaining mages in the academy who hadn't gone to watch the Three-Nation League. He was brainwashing them, advising them not to resist the demon army. He also guaranteed that as long as they didn't provoke the demon army on their own initiative, they would be safe and sound.
Some mages left in a huff, while others hesitated.
Inside the arena of the Three-Nation League.
The referee stood on the dilapidated arena and announced, “I declare that the water mage, Han Ming, is the winner!”
The cheers from the audience seats were deafening, and they had no idea that the demon army had already penetrated deep into the city of Fila.
And those imperial guards who had rushed to the arena of the Three-Nation League to deliver the urgent news were all intercepted and killed by the powerful members of the Dark Palace who had been lying in wait in the shadows.
“Congratulations!”
Shang Que smiled and shook hands with Han Ming.
“Hehe... You...”
Just as Han Ming was about to say some polite words, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of a fierce green light hurtling towards him and Shang Que.
Han Ming quickly erected two layers of ice shields in front of him. At the same time, the silver threads of his demon soul wound around the shields layer by layer.
The green light instantly broke through the silver threads, shredding countless silver threads into pieces, and then slammed heavily into the ice shields. The first ice shield shattered immediately, and the second ice shield, upon being attacked by the green light, was instantly covered with countless cracks.
“A fifth-stage Battle King!”
Han Ming and Shang Que were both startled at the same time and turned their heads to look. It was the mysterious old man in the green robe.
“Why would such a powerful master mingle among the participants of the Three-Nation League? What on earth does he want to do?”
This was the question that both Han Ming and Shang Que had at the same time. The nearly ten thousand eliminated participants were also equally puzzled.
“This mysterious old man in the green robe has been lying in wait for a long time. Now he wants to kill us both in one fell swoop. It seems that he means no good.”
Since the old man in the green robe failed in his first attack, he launched another green battle qi attack.
Upon seeing that the old man was finally willing to reveal his true strength, Kuro immediately left his seat and intercepted the green battle qi head-on. At the same time, his figure flickered and turned into a white shadow as he attacked the old man in the green robe.
The old man in the green robe clearly didn't expect that there was still a powerful master hidden here. He reacted in an instant and engaged in a fierce battle with Kuro.
However, the old man in the green robe clearly underestimated Kuro's strength and was gradually pushed back under Kuro's pursuit.
“A fourth-stage Battle King! Your strength is already enough to suppress the three lords of the Wild Wilderness Forest. Except for Brahma, you can be said to be invincible. Why did you attack the participants?” Kuro asked coldly.
“Haha, it's too late to talk about all this! Look outside!”
The old man in the green robe laughed maniacally. He quickly retreated and jumped onto the audience seats. He casually snapped the neck of a third-stage master who had been eliminated from the league. He kept jumping around, specifically targeting the powerful participants in the competition. Almost every time he made a move, he could kill someone.
Kuro looked solemnly at the dozen or so huge black airships slowly floating in the sky.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
“What is that!?”
Han Ming's heart skipped a beat when he saw these dozen or so huge airships that had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Dozens of vines dropped from the airships, and large groups of demon soldiers slid down the vines and landed in the arena.
“Demon soldiers! They are demon soldiers!! Stop them quickly!!”
Han Ming, who had seen demon soldiers with his own eyes before, recognized these creatures at the first glance and quickly shouted out.
The arena had gathered most of the powerful students from the three countries, and there was also a small number of powerful masters from outside the academy. It could be said that although the people in the arena didn't have extremely high strength. Compared with those powerful masters wandering on the Northern Alliance Continent, they were inferior in both number and strength. But the crucial point, and also the most unfavorable point, was that all these people here were students from the three countries! That is to say, they were the seed players who would become the future top combat forces of the three countries. Their strength would gradually increase in the future. If they were wiped out here in one fell swoop, then in the three countries, after the older generation of powerful masters passed away, there would be a vacuum period! During this period, it would be very difficult to produce top-notch powerful masters.
Han Ming realized this point immediately and suddenly felt a sense of panic and unease in his heart.
The demon army actually wanted to wipe out the powerful masters of the Northern Alliance Continent for good!!
And obviously, the powerful masters of various countries also realized this point and rose up to resist one after another, engaging in a fierce battle with the demon soldiers.
However, there were simply too many demon soldiers, and they were so preoccupied with their own defense that they could only barely deal with the demon soldiers in front of them. Most of these demon soldiers were third-stage demon soldiers with extremely high strength. It was clear that the Demon Realm had been planning this for a long time.
One by one, the demon soldiers kept jumping around in the audience seats, massacring the human civilians.
A demon soldier jumped onto the head of a young man and tore off the young man's head with one hand. Then, with another jump, during the jump, his legs kicked wildly, and the sharp claws on his feet ripped open the bellies of several audience members. Blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground.
The entire arena suddenly fell into chaos. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were massacred, and the blood gathered into countless rivers flowing towards the arena. Broken limbs and feet were flying everywhere, and internal organs and bones were scattered all over the ground.
The crowd let out terrified screams and tried to escape from the arena.
At this moment, outside the walls of the entire arena of the Three-Nation League, dozens of mages from the Demon Realm surrounded the arena. They each cast powerful magic spells, and these magic spells combined to form a semi-circular miniature sealing barrier, covering the entire arena like a big bowl.
The arena was covered by the magic barrier, and no one inside could escape. The mages inside the arena were desperately resisting the demon army in front of them and simply didn't have the time to gather together to break the seal.
The more intelligent powerful participants who were ranked higher in the competition quickly jumped off the audience seats and came to the arena to gather with Han Ming and Shang Que. A group of people formed a human-shaped sharp sword, constantly shuttling through the arena. Any demon soldiers they encountered were instantly cut into pieces.
At this moment, two figures also took off their cloaks from the audience seats and entered the arena.
“Lord Gugel!!”
When Han Ming saw one of the two people, who was Lord Gugel, the lord of the Wild Wilderness Forest, his heart sank immediately.
“Lord Gugel! How could you betray humanity and join the demon army!” Han Ming couldn't believe his eyes and angrily shouted at him.
Gugel just let out a slight sigh and didn't answer. He charged into the group of powerful masters led by Han Ming together with Adela, the lord of the Wild Storm, whom Han Ming had never seen before, and started fighting with them.
The entire arena of the Three-Nation League was completely isolated. The people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in.
And all over the city of Fila, wars were breaking out. Tens of millions of unarmed civilians were wantonly massacred by the demon soldiers who had poured into the city. The entire city of Fila had seemingly turned into a living hell.
Inside the imperial palace of Fila City, a large group of powerful masters led by Mellen also rushed out. They started to fight their way out of the city towards the outside of Fila City. Among this group of people were important state officials and powerful masters with outstanding strength. These people were all the future hopes of the Monte Empire.
At the same time, a huge and unimaginable magical beast soared into the sky from the imperial palace. The magical beast was burning with raging flames all over its body and was nearly a hundred meters long. It slowly flew through the sky.
As the magical beast flew, it spat flames towards the ground, burning large groups of demon soldiers into black ashes. And the civilians were able to escape the danger.
There was actually a small figure standing on the huge flying beast, which seemed so insignificant in the sunlight.
Mellen and his group fought their way through the bloodbath in front of them and all looked up at the huge flying magical beast in the sky.
“Queen Vivian, take care! If there is an afterlife, we would still like to be your subjects. You are the queen of our Monte Empire, and we are proud of you!”
Hundreds of people in the group all burst into tears and knelt down, desperately kowtowing on the ground, regardless of the fact that the blood on their foreheads had already stained the ground red.
“Long live the queen!”
“Long live the queen!”
The shouts resounded through the sky!
“It's time to go!” Mellen ordered through gritted teeth with turbid tears streaming down his eyes.
The group of hundreds of people was reluctant to leave. These former powerful state officials who had once held great power in the court and these super powerful masters who had dominated the Monte Empire were all crying loudly at this moment, completely forgetting their own identities. It was not until Mellen, in the capacity of the acting king, had to order the evacuation that they all ran towards the distance in pain.
They looked back every few steps, wiping the tears off their faces with their sleeves, but their eyes became hazy again in an instant, and the tears just wouldn't stop.
At this moment, a huge voice came from above the entire city of Fila.
“All the subjects of the Monte Empire! I am your Queen Vivian. Now our Monte Empire has reached the most dangerous period, the final moment! As your queen, it is my dereliction of duty to have brought our empire into such a difficult situation. I apologize to you, and I kneel before you!”
After a momentary pause, the voice continued, “I believe that we will definitely get through this difficult time! My dear subjects, please leave your hometowns and your country for now! And please believe that all these difficulties are only temporary! One day, you will come back! You will return to the embrace of your hometown!”
