The next day, while Rocky was discussing with Marcia and Bryant about the attack on the Imperial City, Sabina walked inside in a hurry.
"Basil, Master! Come out and take a look at this!" she bellowed angrily.
Rocky, Marcia and Bryant rushed outside. Isis and the others were there, looking in the same direction as Sabina. The three followed their gaze into the distance and saw several heads hanging on the wall of the Imperial City, laid to public display.
"What the hell! Who are those people?" Rocky asked furiously.
"I have already sent someone to investigate it," Sabina replied immediately.
Rocky nodded, and they waited in silence.
Not long after, the spirit manipulators who had been sent out to investigate came back, looking displeased. The identities of the owners of those heads surprised everyone, including Rocky. They were famous figures in the Holy Dragon Empire. They had been unfortunately caught while covering Bryant and Lena's escape along with a few elders of the royal family. There had been no news of them until now.
Their heads were hung for everyone to see, an obvious warning
rley said proudly.
Of course, Rocky couldn't leave them with only four thousand soldiers. After splitting forty thousand with them, he and Marcia rushed into the Palace City with the remaining sixty thousand.
According to the military distribution map given by Alyssa, Alston had deployed thirty thousand soldiers in the Palace City. Logically, the chances of winning were very high for their sixty thousand versus Alston's thirty thousand. But that was only based on the military numbers. However, within the Palace City, Alston had deployed more than two thousand members of the Glory Clan and had also set up many checkpoints. Obviously, he was well prepared for Rocky's attack.
A fierce battle was inevitable.
Soon, the sixty thousand United Army led by Rocky and Marcia reached the main path leading to the Spiritual King Hall, which was guarded by three hundred members of the spiritual race and thousands of other soldiers.
In order to avoid a long battle, Rocky further divided his forces to pin down the enemy from all sides. At the same time, he continued to move towards the Spiritual King Hall.
