Chapter 981 - The Inner kingdom: Battle in the capital

Chapter 981

(Unedited)​​

…

In a large ordinary old building inside the capital, in an underground chamber, a large group of people suddenly appear as a light descended upon the chamber. Shin Jiao and his group appear with the king, Princess Gwendolyn, and Prince Ginlong Grav.

They have been teleported in this place using teleportation magic that Shin Jiao has already prepared. This is the reason why they have kept themselves in the center of the hall as the teleportation array is in that place. As he is able to control the teleportation array, he was able to determine who to teleport.

The king who has been feigning unconsciousness slowly stood up from the ground. Gwendolyn showed a surprised look on her face as he saw her father seem to be fine as if nothing happened.

King Grav looks at his daughter whom he owes a lot and patted her head.

"Thank you…" he said with a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm sorry that we did not tell you about the plan, we wanted everyone to believe that I was poisoned to flush out the traitors…" the king said while looking at his son, the 5th prince.

Out of all his sons, only the 5th prince ran to his side. The 1st and 2nd princes are starting a rebellion, along with the other princes and princesses, the 3rd prince has a faction of his own with his cousin and relatives.

Only his 5th son who seems to not care about the throne truly treated him as his father, along with his adoptive son Gulliver.

While thinking to this point and the intricate plots in the inner harem of the kingdom, he feels a bit of a headache.

Walking in front of Shin Jiao, King Grav showed a faint smile on his face. 

"I guess I have to face this sooner or later, right?" he said with a smile.

"Umm… Do not worry; we will make sure that the casualty will be at the minimum. But I cannot guarantee the safety of your sons and daughters…" Shin Jiao replied.

"I have been prepared for this since I took the throne. I knew that someday, they would grow and have ambition, and would even plot to kill their own father… Sigh." King Grav walks back and forth while thinking. 

Suddenly, he noticed some people in their surroundings and some contraptions with which he is not familiar.

A beautiful m.a.t.u.r.e looking woman and an old man walking towards them.

Nariz Gumal and Phil Mason are monitoring the new system that has been placed. As a part of the researchers and head of the technology program of Shin Jiao's group, she is responsible for monitoring the teleportation array in this room.

"Shin… we have gathered the data and the result is favorable. The teleportation pod is stable…" she said while handing Shin Jiao a data sheet.

"Umm… That is good. I think this data is stable enough… After this, we can double-check the data with the actual exit portal and compare them. That way we can create a more stable portal for the exit…" Shin Jiao said with a smile as he is contented with the result of the experimental teleportation.

The commotion inside the capital city intensified as two forces began to clash with each other on the streets. Gulliver Astride and the generals loyal to the king already have prepared their army, while Vorn Grav, Xuanhui Grav, along with the other princes and the noble houses also began advancing.

Many people stayed inside their houses while watching the marching soldier in the street.

Soon, two large forces met in the middle of the capital city in a large empty square.

Atop his steed, the 1st prince looks coldly at his, once brother and subordinate, Gulliver.

"Gulliver, are you sure that you will stand against me? I will still give you a chance to change your mind." The 1st prince shouted.

"You have lifted your sword against father. You are a rebel, Prince Vorn. If you surrender now, we will spare your life and the rest of your troops." Replied Gulliver in an equally loud voice.

"Ha! Enough talk! We will eliminate you and your soldiers! Charge! Everyone, charge at them now!" the 2nd prince suddenly shouted with a hint of excitement on his face.

The 1st prince beside him was a bit taken aback. He really laments being with his stupid brother, but since the command was issued; he did not want any instability among his soldiers, so he did not stop it.

With that shout, the forces with the princes and the noble houses began charging.

Suddenly, a large wall of ice appears in the middle blocking the advance of the soldiers. The wall of ice connected the house within the square as if a line divided the two armies.

"Wall of ice? Take it down!" shouted Vorn Grav.

Two Grand Magus behind him walks forward. With a wave of their hand several levels 5 fireballs floated in the air.

A level 5 fireball is equal to the strength of a Grand Magus. It is powerful enough to destroy a large area of land. If it hits a large group of knights, it could destroy that group in one blow.

If one fireball is that powerful, then if the 4 fireballs floating in the air right now hit the army, how much destruction could it cause?

Seeing this situation, Gulliver and the generals did not panic.

"Shields up!" shouted a general.

The soldiers holding large shields in Gulliver's side prepare their shields.

Then without warning, the fireballs descended towards the army. There are only four fireballs, but once they descended to the ground, several buildings in the area were blown to smithereens. A large portion of the ground in the square area was turned red as high temperatures melted the rocks on the ground.

The soldiers of the prince and the noble houses cheered seeing the devastation in front of them.

"I thought this battle would last for a while, I guess this is what they amount to… Sigh, very depressing, they could not even put up a fight."

"Haha… They thought highly of themselves. We have the support of almost 50% of the mage towers and most of the Grand Magus are on our side, so how could they fight against us?" one of the Grand Magus who cast the fireball spell said with a proud smirk.

"Prince Gulliver has a promising career, but he has chosen the wrong side." A noble said.

"Alright, let's clean up the rest of these rebel sc.u.ms!" shouted the 1st prince as he willed his steed to turn around.

But before he could strut away, he heard some gasping sound around him.

His eyes immediately darted towards the direction of the enemy soldiers. When his eyes landed on the ebbing dust clouds, he saw that the enemy troops are still intact. Did nothing happen to them after being hit by level 5 fireballs?

This was too bizarre and unbelievable…

It is known a Grand Magus is the pinnacle of power in the land.

But before he could react, he saw that a group of mages has already prepared their staves and are pointing at his army.

"Charge! Attack them now!" Vorn Grav shouted.

Since the ice wall has already been destroyed by the powerful impact of the fireballs, he immediately commanded everyone to attack.

With his shout, the soldiers did not hesitate and began running towards their enemy.

However, what meets them are the multiple flying spells of the enemy soldiers. The spells flew like bullets and the soldiers are unable to dodge.

Boom! Wham! Crack!

Aahhh! Arrgghh!

The sound of exploding spells and soldiers crying could be heard as the two forces clashed one against another.

The battleground became chaotic, as swords and spells were sent flying.

In this chaotic scene, a bizarre group of soldiers caught the attention of Gulliver. The reason for this is because of the ability of those soldiers to withstand pain and their unstoppable charge even after getting impaled slashed and even decapitated.

The scene was too bizarre that it sent shivers running down his spine.

"Prince Gulliver… those… those are dark golems. They have dark mages in their troops!" one of the generals beside Gulliver said with panic in his eyes.

"Dark golems… it has been a while since I last saw them," Gulliver said with a frown.
