Meanwhile, flames were shooting in all directions in front of a huge city. A group of minotaurs kept spitting bubbles at the city walls. In the sky, giant eagles spread their two-meter-long wings as they screamed and attacked the walls. Countless soldiers lined up under the city walls launched offensive after offensive. They did not use the usual catapults or ballistae. Instead, they were using various kinds of arrows, spears, and other objects that shone inexplicably.

Some of the arrows did not even have a physical form. They were simply arrow-shaped lights! If Mo Fan were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this was a warrior’s skill, the Battle Aura Arrow! Clearly, this was a world of swords and magic!

The arrows pummeled the city walls like pelting rain, producing explosive booms like cannon fire. They mingled with all kinds of half-moon lights. Clearly, these were high-level warriors! Even in the real world where Mo Fan previously was, such military might would make the blood of entire armies freeze. They would not be able to defend at all!

However, this fortified city was standing erect and unshakable! This was because the city walls were enveloped by a huge expanse of light. Clearly, this city had the protection of a magical barrier! However, such an attack was clearly testing the protection of this barrier!

At this moment, the entire barrier was rapidly changing colors. All kinds of light shone like ripples on the barrier, and the entire barrier was slowly thinning! It was only a matter of time before this barrier was broken!

However, at this critical moment, the soldiers defending the city were not focused on the enemy at the foot of the walls. Their hopeful gazes were fixated on the top of the city wall. There was a huge hexagram formation there! The light of the hexagram formation was changing rapidly, and countless colorful shadows appeared. A phantom roaring at the sky appeared in the hexagram formation. Although it was silent, its violent aura made one go numb with fear!

This was a level nine magical beast, the king of the Magical Beast Grassland, the Storm Wolf King! The Wolf King’s phantom figure suddenly shattered, and a huge scale appeared in the light. Before anyone could tell what creature it was, a claw so huge that it filled the entire hexagram appeared suddenly and grasped violently at the outside of the magic array!

“It’s a dragon!” a terrified voice said, but before he could identify what kind of dragon it was, the light shattered again, and a sky suddenly appeared!

The sky was black as ink, and there was a huge vortex in the middle, like the eyes of a god looking down at the mortal world!

What’s this? The owner of the voice, a senior knight in ornate armor, looked puzzled. He instinctively looked at the girl at his side and held back his question.

The girl was very beautiful. Her plain blue magic robe could not hide her graceful figure. Her small and delicate ears were slightly pointed. It was obvious that she had a hint of the mysterious Elven heritage. The gorgeous crown on her head drew attention to the fact that she was no ordinary female magician. Her face was full of grief now, and her beautiful big blue eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the old man beside her.

“Teacher, do we really have to do this?” she began sadly.

“Yes.” The old man was wearing a black robe that was clearly extraordinary. He had an extraordinary bearing, but at this moment, he exuded an aura of exhaustion. He had completely lost the demeanor of a high-level mage.

“Yes, we do. Do not weep, my princess. Soon you will succeed to the throne and become the queen. It is time for you to grow up,” he repeated gently, reaching out lovingly to touch the girl’s head.

“Teacher, will our summoning succeed this time?” The girl tried to hold back her tears as she looked at the old man.

The old man looked just as nervous, just as tired.

Wearily, he said, “Princess, it will work. We will succeed!”

“But is it worth it?” the girl asked, fighting back tears.

“It will be worth it!” the old man replied firmly. “Even in death, I will make the enemy pay a heavy price!”

The girl couldn’t hold back any longer as she burst into tears. Her name was Celia. She was the princess of Skadi, a small kingdom in the eastern part of the Azure Continent. Her parents died when she was young. She was actually raised by the elderly man next to her, Klent, who was the Royal Teacher. As the only heir to Skadi, Celia was about to celebrate her 16th birthday and officially become the new Queen of Skadi.

However, at this moment, bad news came. The Perus Empire in the west of the continent suddenly united a dozen countries and brazenly launched an invasion into the east of the continent! As the most powerful kingdom among the many small countries in the east, Skadi was the first to bear the brunt! As for the reason for the invasion, Princess Celia knew very well. It was because of religion!

Although everyone cultivated magic and battle skills, the countries in the west of the continent believed in the God of Light. They were led by the Temple of Light and combat was their orthodox! Meanwhile, in the east of the continent, a group of countries, led by the Skadi Kingdom, believed in all kinds of gods because they were close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range and had mixed heritage. Most of them cultivated magic!

For example, the Skadi Kingdom had always believed in the god of magic, nature, and the elements because their ancestors had Elven blood! The dream of the Temple of Light had always been to spread the light of the gods all over the continent. Of course, they couldn’t tolerate that half the continent was infidel, so they launched their so-called Eastern Expedition every few years.

However, unlike the previous invasions, the Temple of Light had united the forces of more than a dozen nations and attacked the Kingdom of Skadi jointly. It was obvious that they intended to finish the job in one fell swoop! In just a month, the Kingdom of Skadi had lost a third of its western territory. The entire western defense line was down to the final fortress, Fort Irwin! The Kingdom of Skadi was already on the verge of annihilation!

Despite their best efforts, they could not stop the enemy’s attack because the enemy was so powerful! With no other choice, Klent cast an ancient forbidden spell. Dimension Summoning. At this moment, he was conjuring a magic circle. Once the circle was formed, it could summon the most powerful magical creature from another world. This magical creature was not under the control of the summoner! That was why the summoning was forbidden.

If they were lucky, they might be able to summon angels. But they might also summon a demon lord of the abyss. If it was an angel, then the country had a chance of survival. But if it was a demon lord of the abyss, then not only would this war not stop, it might even turn into a war between humans and demons! But Klent couldn’t deal with it anymore! Dimension summoning was his only hope!
