?

Five minutes ago-- The Wind Continent

This is Winter Breeze City, the third largest city on the continent, where tens of thousands of the Livan family, and millions of other families who were formerly called servant families live... With high walls and ancient buildings that exude history and many young talents, this was the capital of the Wind Empire four thousand years ago...

...But today it was dead silent.

*Paa*

"AAh... AAh..."

This city has been under attack for several days by a large army of followers of The People's Movement. Since the beginning of the war, the city's citizens might win a battle and kill one of the enemy leaders, perhaps the rebels achieve a victory another day and destroy part of one of the walls, just yesterday the rebels succeeded in storming the city, but the residents also resisted strongly and the battle continued throughout the city.

Even until a few minutes ago, the war over the city went without a clear victor, but everything changed in an instant.

Hundreds of thousands of piles came out of the ground in the blink of an eye and pierced the bodies of the rebels, and before the pile reached its highest height, the body hanging on its tip was already absorbed like a mummy, with an expression of extreme horror on its face.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient city was filled with piles and mummies, each of them standing like a flagpole higher than any other building in the city.

Wherever and however you looked up, one would only see this hideous sight!

The city's residents themselves, who were being killed by them, did not know how to feel as they saw this scene. Most of them fell to the ground, panting from fear, and others began screaming, fearing that the same would happen to them!

Standing at the gate, Richard opened his eyes as all the life energy returned to the soles of his feet again, "I spent the life energy of 50,000 people and in return, I got the life energy of 970,000, not bad."

"Your Highness's wisdom in choosing this one-strike attack method is eye-opening." A Shadow Sword Emperor standing behind Richard bowed deeply, no matter how many times he saw this scene, it made all the hair on his body stand every time!

"No need for niceties. Is there another city that needs my intervention?" Richard raised his calm eyes, looking at his latest masterpiece

"Unfortunately, there are many, Your Highness, there are still many enemies left in the Ancestral Continent as well.." Shadow Sword quickly replied.

"No, no, I mean the major ones. Is there still a gathering with more than 200,000 rebels on any continent?" Richard waved

Shadow Sword closed his eyes slightly to bring up the data from the new hidden headquarters, "There are currently only 7 cities on the entire planet facing this kind of attack, we can teleport to any of them right now... But what about the rest, Your Highness?"

"This is up to you. According to my brother Caesar's words, all the inhabitants of Planet Jura have received military training in one way or another. I have cleaned the big obstacles for you, and now it is your turn to clean the small pebbles."

"This would indeed be easy, Your Highness, but what about life energy, have you collected enough?" Shadow Sword nodded, coordinating with citizens of the True Beginning Empire to kill what was left of the rebels would indeed be easy, it would take more lives, but they would all undoubtedly be killed.

"I no longer care about the small fish. The five-day deadline has passed. The capital must be suffering now. I have to finish quickly and head there." Richard shook his head, laughing, "And that bastard got tired of these side missions and forced me to take over again."

"...What scoundrel? The important thing is, there is no need to worry at all, Your Highness. According to our reading of the situation, the array can prevent the entry of the enemy armies for two more days. In the meantime, you can visit more cities." The Shadow Sword tried to convince Richard

Since they contacted him and knew about his crazy plan, they helped him identify the cities suffering the most and transported him directly there.

Richard looked back at him, "...You're hiding something from me. Mayor Henry told me that the array would last 5 days. Then whenever I contacted him, he told me that I had two more days, and you too, a Shadow Swords, are telling me the same... Have the enemies been kind enough to give us this grace period? Tell me the truth, this is an order."

"...The array is filled with holes and attacks are now passing through it, but it will not be completely destroyed for an additional two days." The Shadow Sword Emperor responded directly, "These two days you can use to gather more and more life energy and--"

*Crack*

Richard quickly took two steps and grabbed the neck of the Shadow Sword. His hair and eyes began to burn with a green flame, "Are you saying the enemy attacks are passing through the defenses? Doesn't that mean they fall on civilians? How can one family member be allowed to be killed as long as I'm alive?!"

"Yo--.. You.. Your Highness, your success... is more important... The Mayor understands.. this.. he is willing to buy... time with blood.. for you!!" The Sword Shadow Emperor could barely get out his words, fear filling his heart at the sight of Richard's oppressive aura.

"..." Richard pushed back the Shadow Sword, "My affairs are not for you lot to decide as you please, open a portal to the Imperial City for me right now!"

"Cough Cough... Yes, Your Highness, yes!" Thankful that he was still breathing, Shadow Sword took out several black flags and began forming an instant space portal

"Hey, are you the one who saved us?" Before Richard could step, he heard a childish voice coming from below

Richard looked down and found a few children looking at him excitedly. Very strangely, they did not seem to be afraid of his oppressive aura, even though he did not express any killing intent, he still just used it to put pressure on a Martial Emperor!

*Indeed, little calves are not afraid of tigers.* Richard's thought as he responded to them with a smile, "Yes, I am the killer, get away from here."

"Hehe, thank you, The Impaler uncle, you are the best!!" The boys and girls laughed and quickly left, excited to share what they had seen

"...The Impaler uncle?" Richard calmed down a little and laughed, then turned around and started walking toward the Instant Space Portal

Current time - Imperial Capital

*Pzzzzzz*

Richard passed through the gate with a slight smile on his face, confident and relaxed after his quick interaction with the little ones, ready to defend the city with all his might, ready to show the whole universe that Jura City's tragedy will not happen again as long as he lives!

But...

*Shwalaa*

"A mini space portal? No matter, I'll kill you first!!"
