Everyone on the defense wall of St. Petersburg looked up.
Just like what that warrior said, even though the ma.s.sive amount of energy waves were exploding and tearing the dark sky apart, creating spatial gaps that fixed themselves in a split second, that figure in the silver energy sphere wasn’t harmed. Even though an area of tens of square kilometers in the sky was turned into a death zone, that master was still moving forward as if he was casually swimming through an ocean of sharks.
This man easily got through that death zone and quickly approached the defense wall.
Everyone on the defense wall was shocked.
How powerful is he? What level is he on? How could he get around the terrifying attack this easily? Is he a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord?
they thought.
What are you guys standing around for? Quick! Attack again!
A Seven-Star Warrior shouted on the defense wall, and his voice resonated in the sky like a thunder. He woke everyone up from the shock, and the warriors and mages started to attack again, resulting in a giant pool of energy reappearing in the sky.
At this moment, changes occurred.
A roar sounded in the sky and resonated in the area. It was so loud that people felt like their heads were dizzy and their visions were blurry.
I’m King Alexander of Chambord. I’m here only for Andrew Arshavin and don’t want to attack the city. Anyone who dares to attack me again shall bear the consequences!
-In a stone palace that was the headquarters of the Imperial Patrol-
Second Prince Dominguez who was resting on a bamboo chair with the little disabled dog, Oka, in his arms suddenly opened his eyes. Under the light-yellow light, the shocked expression on his face looked clear.
Eh? Such a powerful sensation…… Someone is attacking the Capital? Who is it? Who dares to do such a thing? Could it be……?
A figure suddenly appeared in this handsome prince’s mind, and a name jumped out of his mouth subconsciously.
Could it be…… the King of Chambord?!
In the recent few days, Crown Prince Arshavin who earned fame and influence through the wars had been plotting against the King Alexander of Chambord. This was a known fact in St. Petersburg, and many n.o.bles and influential figures had been counting down the King of Chambord’s doomsday.
However, Second Prince Dominguez and his henchmen decided to stand by Fei’s side for some reason.
Especially Dominguez’s No.1 Advisor, [Demonic Woman] Paris, and his most loyal follower, [Red Beard] Granello; they had been vocal in their support toward the King of Chambord in various situations, and they used the power of Second Prince Dominguez to interrupt and delay the Imperial Military Headquarters’ plan in interrogating the commanders such as Shevchenko, Reye, Huerk, Kanort, and Cindy in the [Wolf Teeth Legion]. Their words and their actions showed everyone that they were on the side of King Alexander.
The current situation wasn’t in favor of Second Prince Dominguez. His influence had been decreasing drastically ever since Crown Prince Arshavin got the victories in the wars against the Spartax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire. Therefore, a lot of people didn’t understand why this prince was trying his best to help a little king who was doomed from the beginning, just like how people didn’t understand why Crown Prince Arshavin was determined to take out a talented young man like King Alexander of Chambord.
All kinds of rumors were being pa.s.sed around.
Some people were saying that [Demonic Woman] Paris fell in love with the young king, but others stated that the person who fell for the King of Chambord was Second Prince Dominguez. After all, it was rumored in the past that Second Prince Dominguez who was extremely handsome was into men.
After hearing Dominguez’s gasp, Paris who was picking the petals off a rose on a chair suddenly straightened her back, and glares suddenly appeared in her eyes. She stood up, walked to the window, and stared into dark sky in her long white dress. As if she thought about something, she nodded and smiled.
Perhaps it is him, but it could also be someone else…… One thing is for sure – when that man goes crazy, he is daring enough to do such a thing!
[Red Beard] Granello stood behind Second Prince Dominguez quietly. However, bright lights were flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, and it showed that this person who controlled the Imperial Patrol in the Capital wasn’t calm on the inside as he appeared on the outside.

: Who Is He? (Part Two)
-Imperial Knight Palace-
In the huge black tower that was surrounded and protected by ten smaller black towers, there was a tall man who was sitting down on a chair. He had short, blond hair, and his brows were sharp like knives.
He suddenly opened his eyes and stopped resting, and two dashes of light shot out of his eyes and pierced into the dark sky.
So reckless. Is someone trying to charge at the Capital alone? Hahaha, nothing this interesting had happened at St. Petersburg for a long time. Who is it? Could it be that little guy?
At the same time, a series of energy fluctuations appeared in the other ten towers around the central tower. It was clear that the ten Executive Knights also discovered this insane incident.
Guard your own towers! You guys aren’t allowed to leave unless you have my permission!
This man’s incontestable voice sounded in the main halls of the ten towers.
Soon, the ten energy surges all quieted down and disappeared into the black towers.
-Royal Palace-
Inside the grand hall, a figure who was semi-lying down on a golden dragon throne suddenly opened his eyes, and a mystic glare appeared. Not sure what this ‘old’ emperor was thinking about, but he soon closed his eyes again.
Then, clouds of misty golden energy enveloped the dragon throne and blocked everything off.
The atmosphere inside the palace was like a dead lake, lacking vitality. Also, the light smell of potion and medicine floated in the air.
Then, a series of rapid footsteps sounded outside the palace.
A master who was wearing a golden guardian armor quickly walked into the palace and single-kneeled. He said loudly,
Your Majesty, a powerful master is charging at the Capital, and the city defense array is already activated. Your Majesty, should we initiate the royal palace’s magic array and send [G.o.dly Dragon Guards] to hold the enemy out of the city?
The figure on the dragon throne didn’t respond for a long time as if he fell asleep.
However, this master didn’t dare to urge him at all.
After a while, this figure on the dragon throne opened his mouth and said,
Wait.
-The Imperial Military Headquarters in St. Petersburg-
In front of the gate of the palace that represented the supreme military power of the empire, Crown Prince Arshavin was standing there in a long black cape. As he looked at the sky in the northwest direction, a glare appeared in his eyes.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen most powerful officials in the Imperial Military Headquarters. They were standing there humbly and surrounded the prince like stars around the moon. After all, even though Crown Prince Arshavin wasn’t the emperor yet, he already had complete control of the military power of Zenit secretly.
Rather than flattering this young prince like usual, the officials all looked at the orange magic energy sphere with stern expressions. In fact, they were focusing on the pool of colorful energies that was dispersing into the sky in the northwest. Even though it was prettier than fireworks, it also represented insane danger and death!
Which one of you could tell me who that is?! How dare this person attack the Capital of our empire?
Arshavin asked without even turning his head around, and his expression wasn’t pretty.
He wiped out the nemesis of Zenit, Spartax, and he obliterated another old opponent, Eindhoven. After that, he quickly returned to the Capital heroically and finally gained complete control of the Imperial Military Headquarters. Then, his plan was executed slowly yet steadily.
This was the time for him to establish prestige and dominance, making the final charge at the throne. However, this incident that was super rare occurred. Even if the intruder were eliminated, this was already a huge disgrace to the Imperial Military Headquarters and the troops.
Now, Arshavin’s political enemies who were suppressed to an extreme degree could use this fact to attack him.
The officials in the Imperial Military Headquarters looked at each other and couldn’t answer Arshavin’s question.
They got nothing. After all, their intelligence network didn’t get any information on this prior.
This is disappointing, could you……
Crown Prince Arshavin couldn’t help but scold.
However, before he could finish, something happened!
I’m King Alexander of Chambord. I’m here only for Andrew Arshavin and don’t want to attack the city. Anyone who dares to attack me again shall bear the consequences!
This loud roar sounded in the sky like thunder, and it interrupted Arshavin. This voice easily penetrated through the orange magic array and sounded by everyone’s ear clearly, making their heads buzz.
Arshavin gaped and couldn’t finish his sentence.
The officials behind him were stunned as well. Their expressions froze on their faces, and they looked at Crown Prince Arshavin and didn’t know if they should laugh or cry.
