Chapter 944: Chapter 564_2
Those Noble Families swiftly activated the Protective Arrays of their own families, also hastening the packing of their family treasures.
They had already received information from their respective Family Heads, preparing to flee at any mont.
The situation now was: if you can run, then run; otherwise, staying in the Imperial Capital ant only a path to death.
Of course, before running away, they still needed to clearly assess the situation.
Rushing to flee recklessly would just make them the sacrificial chicken, easily getting their necks chopped off.
Thus, they were waiting, waiting for the Emperor to make his move, waiting for the loyal army of the Emperor and the Demon Souls’ army to clash fiercely.
Only at that ti could they take advantage of chaos; using the distraction from the army and the Emperor, they could then sneak away.
Only then, facing fewer Demon Souls, did they have a chance to escape from the Imperial Capital!
No one was willing to stay and wait for death.
These mbers of the Noble Clans had already discerned the disparity in strength between the two sides.
One side could cover a whole planet, the other could only passively defend, and even defending was no longer feasible.
When the ti ca, it would only be a desperate struggle.
Like grasshoppers at the end of autumn, unable to hop for long before being stomped dead by Christie Barbosa.
As for the Emperor, he was rely a tool for them to buy ti.
Those who truly would fight to the death for the Emperor were not as many as one might think, especially from the perspective of an empire’s ruling class, their focus was always on various interests entanglents.
“Dilys, my dear sister, send a few gusts of Black Dragon’s Breath to break open the protective barrier over the Imperial Palace.”
Black Dragon, in terms of status, was naturally lower than Christie Barbosa, but she nonetheless did not speak in a commanding tone.
Having known long ago that Dilys, the Dragon Lady, was also Zi Liyuan’s woman, Christie Barbosa naturally did not want to strain the relationship.
“Roar~!”
The earth-shaking roar of the Black Dragon King, accompanied by a terrifyingly hot dragon breath, descended from the sky.
Where the flas of the Black Dragon passed, everything was turned to char.
Even the raging snowflakes and teors falling from high above were burnt to ashes under the breath of the Black Dragon.
Forbidden Curse was strong, and Minor Forbidden Spell was not weak, but they were still just Fourth-tier spells, and though their power had reached the level of Fifth-tier Epic, they were markedly lesser than the full-powered breath of the Fifth-tier Peak Black Dragon King.
Thus, the protective barrier constructed above the Imperial Palace was directly broken through by the dragon’s breath, creating a massive gap.
Before the dragon breath even extinguished, a large swarm of Fifth-tier Demon Souls, along with countless Fourth-tier Demon Souls, rushed forward.
Dark shadows filled the sky, with layers of ghostly figures, roaring and screeching as they charged into the midst of the Mage army below.
The Fourth-tier Mage corps were just a face-to-face encounter before being dispersed chaotically by the massive army of Demon Souls.
With their formation in disarray, coordinating spells beca exponentially more difficult.
Moreover, nearby Demon Souls did not give them a chance to regroup and cast spells again.
Around each Mage, several Demon Souls gathered, launching various attacks against them.
Psychic assaults, Ghost Claw rending, soul-piercing screams…
These terrifying attacks forced the Mages to unleash their hidden lifesaving tricks while continuously waving their Magic Wands, striking at the surrounding Demon Souls.
Resistance Ring of Fire, Fla Blast, Whirlwind Blow, Ice Frost Shock…embourg different spells attempted to repel the surrounding Demon Souls, trying to create distance for a counterattack.
Unfortunately, these Demon Souls were ghostly entities that fought without regard for their own destruction; once they latched onto a target, they mindlessly tore into their enemies with ferocious attacks.
In a mont, the Mage corps resounded with screams of horror.
Mages without protective abilities were directly torn into blood-soaked fragnts by the Demon Souls.
Those with protective abilities struggled desperately, hoping to gain distance but unable to do so, they just kept gritting their teeth and enduring, trying to survive a bit longer.
Regrettably, under the endless onslaught of the Demon Souls’ army, this corps of thousands of Fourth-tier Mages was overrun, eventually reduced to scattered corpses and pieces of flesh.
As for blood, when wounds appeared on their bodies, it was guided by the surrounding world of blood, then absorbed into the Emperor Banner, becoming nourishnt for the entire Great Formation.
Accompanied by Dilys’ Black Dragon’s Breath, which continuously spouted within the city,
One after another, their combat formations’ protective barriers were broken, then overwheld by swarms of Demon Souls.
In just a few tens of minutes, several Imperial legions had been annihilated by the Demon Souls.
The number of deaths had already surpassed five hundred thousand.
However, with such massive casualties, the Emperor stood on the city wall of the Imperial Palace, his gaze unchanged, still solemnly watching Christie Barbosa controlling the Black Dragon King in the sky.
The key to this battle was this Princess of a fallen nation; only by capturing her could there be a glimr of hope.
But the difficulty was extrely high; the Emperor had no confidence, even using secret techniques.
And he was also waiting, waiting for the Elder Council’s sincerity, waiting for the ministers and nobles’ sincerity, waiting for the death toll within the Imperial Capital to continue rising.
In the entire Imperial Capital, there were a total of more than forty million people, of which there were a vast eight million in the imperial army.
Originally, at least five million of these troops were supposed to be dispatched, but were temporarily delayed by so matters.
At this mont, the Emperor only thought, fortunately, these troops had not been sent out, otherwise he would have no chance for a final attempt.
And at this mont, within the Emperor’s mind, various strategies had already ford on how to bypass the Black Dragon King, aiming directly at Christie Barbosa.
How in the shortest ti, to capture Christie Barbosa and force her to submit.
