For the five thousand Dark Guards, in the training base of the valley for the past half month, they have experienced many life-and-death situations that push them to their limits.
With Billy blessing Gathering spirit elements in the array, many of those with low cultivation levels have had breakthroughs.
They thought they would stay inside for two months before coming out, but they didn’t expect to face a real battlefield so soon.
In the sky above the empty ground, powerful auras rose up, enveloping the entire space in a terrifying pressure.
Five thousand people released their own aura at the same time, creating an imposing formation.
The purpose of this action is naturally to attract the attention of the enemy and draw the main battlefield here.
Thousands of meters away from the crowd, there are two mountains with a valley in between.
From the capital of the Rainbow Moon Empire to Skydragon City, theoretically, this is a route that must be taken.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the other party does not detour.
After all, for those who fly through the air, there is no such thing as a must-pass route in a strict sense.
In the valley at this moment, there are dozens of people, including Stephanie Stuart and Azure Fang, as well as Marquise Thompson and Isaac Herring leading their respective groups.
Everyone’s face is equally grave.
“Night Orchid, do you think people from the Rainbow Moon Empire will enter Skydragon City from other places?” Felicia asked Night Orchid beside her.
“It shouldn’t happen!” Night Orchid shook her head slightly.
“Their primary goal in coming to Skydragon City is to take down us, and the city comes second!”
“If they don’t take care of us, even if they occupy the city, it’s meaningless.”
“That’s right!” Felicia nodded in response.
“I don’t understand why the Rainbow Moon Empire suddenly sent troops to our Skydragon City!” Alex Long spoke up beside them.
“Last time when we went to the capital of the Rainbow Moon Empire with Boss, the behavior of their Lord Cyrus and Princess Siena didn’t seem like they were going after us.”
“Princess Siena is probably also acting against her will now!” Frostblade replied thoughtfully.
“She promised Boss that she would come to Skydragon City to give us an explanation, but she hasn’t shown up for so long. It’s likely that something has happened to her!”
“Do you think this has something to do with Nelson Morris?” Judge suddenly asked.
“It’s very likely!” Azure Fang stared ahead and nodded, saying, “Aside from him, I can’t think of anyone else!”
“We should have finished him off last time in the Forbidden Phantom Valley!” Soul Chaser clenched his teeth.
“This time, he better not show up. Otherwise, even if I have to risk my life, I’ll make sure he takes the blame for it!”
“Soul Chaser, don’t act rashly!” Stephanie Stuart, not far away, spoke up.
“Remember not to confront them head-on. Our goal is to hold them off for an hour and wait for Billy to come back before making any decisions!”
“Understood!” Soul Chaser nodded in response.
Just then, from the distant void, extremely violent auras spread out, shrouding the entire area.
Soon after, the figures of one to two hundred people appeared within the sight of everyone.
The Skydragon Dark Guard on the empty ground behind, many of whom had low cultivation levels, felt a suffocating sensation under such a powerful pressure.
Their legs trembled uncontrollably, their faces slightly pale.
However, from their determined eyes, it could be seen that the majority of them had no fear, with serious expressions and tightly clenched jaws.
“Listen up, everyone!” Stephanie Stuart took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
“Do not engage in direct confrontation. No matter what, make sure to stay alive, only by staying alive do we have hope!”
“Roger that!” The crowd shouted back loudly.
Not long after, two hundred Divine Realm experts from the Rainbow Moon Empire landed in the mountains about two to three hundred meters away from Stephanie Stuart. The leader was an elderly man in a black robe with white hair, his actual age indiscernible, sharp eyes and vigorous aura surrounding him. This person was none other than the strongest of the Rainbow Moon Empire, Cain Morris! With a cultivation at the half-step fourth-rank Sacred Realm!
“Are you Mrs Stuart?” Cain Morris looked towards Stephanie Stuart and asked.
“What do you want?” Stephanie Stuart replied calmly.
“You should be very clear about the purpose of our visit to Skydragon City this time!” Cain Morris glanced at the crowd and continued, “You have a choice this time, either disable your cultivation and submit to the Rainbow Moon Empire, or perish!”
“I’m curious about one thing!” Stephanie Stuart interrupted him, “Is this military action your Emperor’s decision, or someone else’s?”
She intended to delay time and not provoke the other party too early.
“Does it matter?” Cain Morris replied nonchalantly.
“Your precious son killed so many of our elites in the Forbidden Phantom Valley. Do you really think that debt can be easily forgotten?”
“Another question!” Stephanie Stuart continued, “Since you specifically chose to attack when my son is not in Skydragon City, are you worried that you’re not a match for him?”
“So, regardless of whether you can take down Skydragon City today, even if you are successful, are you not worried that my son will come back and crush your Rainbow Moon Palace?”
“Hehe, you seem pretty confident in your son!” Cain Morris chuckled in response.
“Since the Rainbow Moon Empire dares to attack, naturally we are not afraid of a young rookie. I am more worried that he wouldn’t dare to come to the palace!”
“By your implication, do you want to capture us as hostages?” Stephanie Stuart asked calmly.
“What do you think?” Cain Morris replied, then glanced at Marquise Thompson, Azure Fang, and others.
“You should be very clear. Except for Mrs Stuart, none of you even qualify to be hostages. If you do not disable your cultivation, this will be your burial ground!”
“You only have one chance. I will give you one minute to consider!”
After speaking, he looked at everyone.
However, no one paid any attention to him.
“Start the timer!” Cain Morris said in a deep voice.
“If I guess correctly, you must have people from the Crimson Flame Empire supporting you, right?” Stephanie Stuart said again.
She had guessed this.
The events that happened in the Ice Cloud Empire had spread in the Forbidden Ruins Space a few days ago. Billy had gained quite a reputation by killing two fifth-rank Sacred Realm experts with his first-rank Sacred Realm cultivation, which was extraordinary!
She didn’t believe that the imperial family of the Rainbow Moon Empire had not heard of this. Yet, they still dared to march towards Skydragon City, clearly they had some reliance, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.
“What a joke!” Cain Morris responded.
“My Rainbow Moon Empire is strong enough to deal with Skydragon City, why would we need the help of outsiders?”
“Is that so?” Stephanie Stuart smiled faintly.
“Do you even believe that yourself?”
