Chapter 636 Secret Mission
??As the barrier vanished, King Dominick III felt the Arcane Sigil in his arm burn!
"Aaahhh!"
He screamed in agony as his link with the barrier broke! Moreover, it drained most of his Arcane Energy as his former healthy body began to age!
At this time, he was finally showing what his age really looked like!
"Impossible! The barrier was indestructible!" The king cried out in despair. Since he was aware of the secrets of the barrier, he knew that it should not be possible to destroy it as it would keep regenerating and even use the life force of all common citizens of the Capital if needed.
Indeed! The barrier would take everyone's life as long as they weren't practicing any Arcane Arts!
The Capital had millions of ordinary, and they shouldn't have a problem empowering it! He believed that just taking the life force of about 100 thousand people would be enough to defend against Dragon's self-destruction!
However, for some unknown reason, the barrier did not even get a chance to use the lives of every commoner and was obliterated so fast!
He could only fault his ignorance about Dragons. He could only assume that such creatures had a special way of destroying a regenerating barrier.
As he suffered the pain from the recoil of disconnecting from the barrier, he soon witnessed the progress of the rebels to his city!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He saw the rebel airships, arcanists, and knights, storming the capital. However, with 30 airships and thousands of knights, druids, and arcanists on their side, they should still have a chance of winning.
Their force was still a formidable and terrifying opponent.
However, as the rebel forces poured into the city, he couldn't help but worry...
'They didn't think that destroying the barrier would be enough to defeat us, right?' King Dominick III thought as he saw the doctors and knights coming to his aid.
"My King! Please receive treatment from the Royal Doctor…" The Royal Knight said as he approached the king.
"I'm fine… I want to see how they're planning to win this war…"
***
Indeed, just like what the King thought, Marquis Morgan's plan didn't just end there. He had waited for this moment, and he was planning to end the rule of the Ruri Clan!
As the battle started, they saw the Royal Airships, Arcanists, Druids, and Knights, defending the Capital with 30 airships that were controlling the sky...
From the perspective of the nervous citizens, it was a desperate and heroic sight as the royal forces resisted the invaders…
The two sides clashed, creating a chaotic battle.
The sound of blasts, spells, and magic artifacts being destroyed was deafening, and the smoke was blinding.
The airships exchanged fire, and the arcanists cast spells. The knights charged, and the druids summoned trees and even beasts as the blood spilled and the bodies fell.
The rebel airships don't have the advantage of numbers and surprise.
However, Marquis Morgan's and the Church of the Divine Sorcerers' plan wasn't over yet…
As soon as they gave the signal, the planted spies or agents working for the capital finally made their move!
They immediately showed their true colors as they betrayed the King!
Those who were working at the airship as crews started attacking from the inside and doing everything they could to create trouble.
Those who were working in the city summoned fire to create panic.
Those who were in the ranks of soldiers and guards started blasting their smoke bombs filled with sleeping dust.
There were also maids, knights, and other workers who had started making their moves.
Only the Druids or Artificial Humans could be recognized as genuinely faithful as not a single one of them betrayed! They killed many of these spies as they were quite weak, but because there were too many, they still dealt a lot of damage!
"Hahaha! This is it! Continue!" Marquis Morgan laughed as he saw what was happening below.
"Finally… The Ruri Clan will be disappearing today!" Sun Sorcerer said as he stood up. He also had to join the fray since the royal princes and princesses were still quite challenging to deal with.
Marquis Morgan's Black and White Knights also followed as they accompanied the Sorcerer to the battlefield.
Marquis Morgan smiled after seeing this as he stayed in the concealed Airship with Viscount Truman.
Soon, they saw how their forces quickly overwhelmed the royal airships, and shot them down.
It was all thanks to the spies they've planted.
It didn't take long before they watched how their forces targeted the royal family and the royal palace. They wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and to capture or kill the king.
They watched their Knights and Arcanists start moving forward with the support of the Arcanists of the Church of the Divine Sorcerer and the Sun Sorcerer himself.
Royal Knight Laura, on the other hand, stood strong as she faced the overwhelming force of the Rebel Army.
Behind her was a brigade of elite royal arcanists who had graduated from their Arcane Academy.
They used refined types of magic with the guidance of several First Class Arcanists, and the wisdom of the Kingdom's Arcane Council.
They worked together to reinforce the defenses of the city, and to counter the rebels' forces.
"Do not give up! More Druids will come to support us! Just hold on!" Laura shouted to boost the morale of her troops.
The Artificial Humans or Druids had the advantage in terms of Arcane Energy and Arcane Spells that could cover a huge area. Furthermore, they could use artificial beasts to do their bidding.
The war was fierce, and the outcome was uncertain. The rebels had the momentum, and the royals had the resistance…
Yet amidst the chaos and fervor of battle, none of this held significance for Vale.
In this pivotal moment, he was focused on another matter.
Amidst the cacophony of clashing spells and the thunderous roar of war, Vale finally found the Kingdom's Treasury!
