“Hmm?” Billy’s pupils contracted coldly. “What happened?”
Opal, Casey, and others frowned at the same time.
“I am called Griffin Molina, a spy stationed in the imperial city of the Rainbow Moon Empire by Mr Thompson…” the middle-aged man continued.
“This morning, I received news that the Rainbow Moon Palace plans to gather two thousand elites to take down Skydragon City…”
“I immediately sent a message to Mr Thompson… Mr Thompson replied to me after receiving the message, asking me to come to Ice Cloud Imperial City immediately…”
“And as I set off to come to Ice Cloud Imperial City this morning, the two thousand people had already set off from the Rainbow Moon imperial city…”
“The Rainbow Moon Empire is really seeking death!” Azure Dragon and White Tiger both angrily spoke.
“Do you know about their top combat power?” Billy asked in a deep voice.
“I don’t have too detailed information for now.” Griffin Molina shook his head.
“But I know that the leader is the strongest of the Rainbow Moon Empire, Cain Morris, who has already stepped into the fourth-rank Sacred Realm!”
“Besides him, there are two early-stage Sacred Realm experts accompanying him, as well as three half-step Sacred Realm experts!”
“When will they arrive at Skydragon City?” Billy frowned.
The strongest person in Skydragon City now is his mother, with the cultivation level of half-step Sacred Realm.
Even if she can challenge higher levels, she can only contend with second-rank Sacred Realm at most, and has no chance against third-rank Sacred Realm experts.
Apart from his mother, Edie Fennimore, Marquise Thompson, and Isaac Herring are slightly stronger, but they are only eighth-rank Divine Realm cultivators.
Azure Fang and Ian Blade are only sixth-rank Divine Realm cultivators, and they have no chance against late-stage Divine Realm experts.
So many strong people from the Rainbow Moon Empire posed a big threat to Skydragon City.
“Among the two thousand people, the lowest cultivation level is half-step Saint Realm. If they fly in the air, they can probably arrive in five to six hours.” Griffin Molina continued after some thought.
“Of course, if one or two hundred Divine Realm cultivators go ahead, it will only take three to four hours at most.”
“And I rushed from the Rainbow Moon imperial city to here at full speed, taking almost three hours, so…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the implied meaning was already very clear.
If those Divine Realm experts were to advance ahead, they would probably arrive in Skydragon City in just over an hour!
“Opal, Amber, let’s go first!” Billy took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Casey, you follow Harleen and Ivy from behind!”
“Okay!” Everyone nodded at the same time.
After that, Billy, Opal, and Amber swiftly flew away.
Casey and the others didn’t delay either. They followed closely behind Billy with Griffin Molina.
Billy and the other two are all in the Sacred Realm cultivation level. If they hurry, they can reach Skydragon City in about two hours.
Billy just hopes that Skydragon City can hold on for a little longer!
Meanwhile, in the northern mansion of Skydragon City.
Stephanie Stuart, Edie Fennimore, Marquise Thompson, Isaac Herring, and Zak Callahan were discussing defensive measures, while Sol Stuart and Azure Fang, among others, stood aside, their faces very serious.
This morning, after receiving the message from Griffin Molina, Marquise Thompson and Isaac Herring hurried to the mansion and informed Stephanie Stuart of the situation.
After hearing the news, Stephanie Stuart had Sol Stuart call Azure Fang and the others back from the training base.
She also had Marquise Thompson arrange several groups of people to monitor the movements of the Rainbow Moon Empire along the way, and report them immediately if any traces were found.
Everyone present was well aware that today’s challenge for Skydragon City would be extremely difficult!
The Rainbow Moon Empire was coming in full force, determined to take over Skydragon City!
“Mr Thompson, how long do you think it will take for the people from the Rainbow Moon Empire to arrive?” Stephanie Stuart asked Marquise Thompson.
“According to the feedback from the outpost, their forces are divided into two batches,” Marquise Thompson responded. “The first batch consists of individuals with Divine Realm cultivation level or above, and they are estimated to arrive in about an hour and a half.”
“The second batch consists of individuals at the Saint realm, and they are expected to enter the Skydragon City area in about two to three hours.”
“How many people at the Divine Realm are there?” Stephanie Stuart frowned.
“About two hundred people,” Marquise Thompson replied.
“So many?” Judge couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“Yes,” Marquise Thompson nodded. “Among them, at least one-third are estimated to be at the mid to late stage of the Divine Realm.”
“They really think highly of us,” Soul Chaser said in a deep voice.
“Mrs Stuart, I don’t think Mr Billy will arrive that quickly, we need to prepare for the worst,” Isaac Herring said with a serious tone.
“Okay,” Stephanie Stuart nodded slightly.
After a brief pause, she turned to Marquise Thompson and asked, “Mr Thompson, have the ordinary people in the city been arranged properly?”
“It’s almost done,” Marquise Thompson nodded.
“As you instructed, I have informed the people from the Sheardal Empire, and most of them have moved to the neighboring cities of Sheardal Empire and Skydragon City,” he added.
“Very good,” Stephanie Stuart responded, then she looked at Isaac Herring and asked, “Elder Isaac, are the people from the Mystic Pill Sect in position?”
“They have all arrived at the foot of the mountain outside the eastern suburbs of the city. They should be able to finish setting up in about an hour,” Isaac Herring nodded.
“Well done,” Stephanie Stuart nodded. “That will be the main battlefield, we must defend it at all costs.”
Since the battle was inevitable, she could only try to keep the battlefield away from the main city area to reduce unnecessary losses.
It had been nearly six months since Billy first proposed to rebuild Skydragon City, and the construction of the city had begun to show results. If the strongmen from the Rainbow Moon Empire were allowed to descend on the main city area at this time, all the hard work of the past half year would be in vain, which was obviously not what she wanted to see.
“Blacksmith Callahan, you and your men guard the four city gates with the guards. That is the last line of defense, we cannot let the people from the Rainbow Moon Empire enter the city,” Stephanie Stuart then turned to Zak Callahan.
The over ninety thousand guards had not fully grown up yet, and most of them were below the Saint realm level in cultivation. These people were no match for the Divine Realm powerhouses, so Stephanie Stuart did not assign them to the main battlefield.
“Mrs Stuart, please rest assured. As long as I have breath, I will not let them enter the city,” Zak Callahan nodded firmly.
“Okay,” Stephanie Stuart nodded and then looked around at everyone before continuing, “Everyone, today’s battle will be very difficult, so take care of yourselves. I reckon Billy and his group should be on their way now. Once the battle starts, we just need to hold out for an hour.”
“Understood,” everyone responded in unison.
“Alright, everyone take your positions!” Stephanie Stuart stood up as she spoke.
“Mrs Stuart, take care of yourself too!” Marquise Thompson and the others said to Stephanie Stuart before turning to leave.
“Aunt Stephanie, we’ll go ahead!” Azure Fang and Ian Blade and the others said before walking towards the estate.
“Edie, Elder Sol, come with me!” After everyone had left, Stephanie Stuart led Edie Fennimore and Sol Stuart to the training base of the ‘Skydragon Dark Guard’.
Before leaving Skydragon City, Billy had told her that if any emergency situation arose, she should release the Dark Guards to defend against the enemies.
She never thought that day would come so soon!
An hour and a half later, on a desolate mountain outside the eastern suburbs of Skydragon City.
Five thousand ‘Skydragon Dark Guards’ stood in five large camps, ready and waiting for battle!
