Chapter 983

(Unedited)

…

General Simo was a bit perplexed and conflicted upon hearing those words. The 1st prince would be his future son-in-law. Though his action right now is not to his liking, it does not change the fact that he is engaged to his daughter, Lin Simo.

He looks at the young woman standing with the group and showed a slight frown on his face.

The young woman did not show any hint of a reaction.

Sensing that her father seems to be looking at her, Lin Simo looks at her father. As if knowing what her father wanted to say, she just showed a faint smile on her face and nodded her head.

She did not care about what would happen to the 1st prince. At first, she was a bit infatuated with him and is happy that they got engaged. However, ever since finding out about his actions and decisions, her feelings changed into that of disgust.

As a soldier who valued other soldiers like herself, she dislikes those people who used the soldiers for their own selfish reason. That's why she suddenly feels dislike and disgust in her mind towards the 1st prince, who wanted to use the soldiers for his own greed and selfishness.

She has already thought of breaking her engagement to him.

General Xun Simo was not able to reach immediately and conflicted emotion could clearly be seen in his eyes. He saw how powerful the weapon in his hand is, so how could he use that against the 1st prince? Although the prince is rebelling against the king, he is still the king's son.

This conflicted emotion was seen through by Gulliver and a slight smile appears on his face. It seems that the general is still as loyal as he is even in the midst of a battle.

"General, do not force yourself… I'm sorry for putting you in a tight spot…You can see the woman in black, the Queen of the Shadows. If we take her down the other puppet masters would also fall…"

When Gulliver said that, General Simo nodded his head. But the problem is the location of that woman is a bit tricky. As she is standing beside the 1st prince, he needs to accurately adjust his sight and hit his target precisely.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the number of soldiers under Gulliver is already dwindling because of the remaining black golem forces which relentlessly attack everywhere.

General Simo could not take it anymore and gritted his teeth.

Poom!

The explosion of the barrel is not that strong but the kick is powerful but not enough to throw him back.

The mana-infused bullet flew towards the direction of Tamei Ro who is controlling the connection of mana energy while the black golems wreaked havoc.

Her expression showed a hint of craziness and madness as if she is in a trance state.

Suddenly, a silver flash appears,s and the barrier in front of her flicker. This made her realized that a powerful attack hit the barrier.

Then she saw something horrifying happened. The barrier broke like glass and a powerful blast threw her to the wall.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this situation and did not know what just happened. Then they saw Tamei Ro on the side leaning against the wall with a mangled shoulder while blood continuously spews out of her mouth.

"Protect the princess! Quickly take her out of here!" shouted the people around her.

The 1st prince at this time was shocked at this even and a horrified expression appears on his face. If he was the one hit by that thing, then he would have already died a hundred times over.

His eyes darted towards the opposite side and saw General Simo holding on a weapon. His eyes glinted with fear and envy. If only he could get such a powerful arsenal, he could have ended this battle from the onset.

Then he saw the old general aiming at a Grand Magus fighting in the air. It was the Grand Magus from the Tower of Light, who aligned himself with the noble houses.

Boom!

This time a loud eruption was heard and the figure of General Simo fell back three steps.

But the unlucky Grand Magus did not expect the surprise attack and was hit squarely through his c_h_e_s_t. The loud explosion sent him flying to the ground like a kite with its string cut.

Those who saw this stopped from their fighting as they saw the Grand Magus lying on the ground spewing mouthfuls of blood.

His clothes are in tatters but and it seems that some of his ribs are broken. However, as a Grand Magus, it seems that he is not easy to kill.

General Simo did not stop just there, he aimed at another one, but before he could press the trigger, Gulliver patted him.

"Let's stop… We now have company. It's time for phase two." Gulliver said as the generals and other officers commanded the soldiers to retreat.

Suddenly loud cheering could be heard on the now ruined square as the soldier of the 1st prince celebrated.

But the casualty of this battle has left the entire huge ruined square ground turned into crimson blood.

The 1st prince did not mind this though as he lifted his nose high up in the air and proudly sneered.

"You want to fight with me? You still have a long way to go… Gulliver." He muttered as he willed his steed to go back to the palace.

The capital city is already divided between the forces of the 1st prince and the noble houses versus the king and his loyal generals. But it seems that the forces of the king were defeated in battle as they retreated to the slums of the capital city.

Meanwhile, when Princess Tamei Ro was hit a signal was released at the same time. And now outside the capital city, a large army of elite dark soldiers suddenly emerges out of the forest.

The darkness covered their plight as they began assaulting the gates of the capital city on all sides.

Due to the lack of soldiers guarding the gate, it was easily taken down by the forces of darkness. The elite Crimson Dark army led the attack which sends the capital city into chaos.

The 1st prince and his army are regrouping in front of the palace when they heard this commotion. Suddenly, he discovered a large group of soldiers coming towards the palace on all sides.

"How… how could they enter the city?" the 1st prince shouted.

"This… How could they attack at this time…" Hong Fao said with shock written all over his face.

This attack was unprecedented and no one expects that such a thing would happen at this time. It was as if everything was planned at the right moment when the capital is weak due to infighting.

"No this cannot be! Those traitorous bastards!" shouted the 1st prince in anger.

"Everyone, group up! Drive those bastards away and protect the capital!" shouted Vorn Grav while unsheathing his sword.

How could he accept defeat at this time when the throne is already in his hands? How could he let this matter go just like that?

Consumed by his anger and pride, he commanded the already weak soldiers to attack the invaders.

Soon the sound of fighting engulfs the capital and billowing smoke began to rise high up in the air turning the darkness a bit bright as many houses were burned to the ground.

Those unlucky civilians did not survive the onslaught of the battle. While those lucky ones huddle themselves together inside their homes praying that the battle would soon end.

The only remaining forces in the capital city which were turned into a bloody battleground are the forces that belong to the dark soldiers.

The 1st prince and his supporters have already retreated in the palace, while the other noble houses ran to their own manors.

"Damn it! How could this have happened? I was too close! The throne is already in my hands… why?" the 1st prince lamented as he kneels inside the hall banging the ground.

Suddenly, he realized that there is someone sitting on the throne. When his eyes landed on that figure, he was a bit flabbergasted.

How could he not know who that figure was?

An elegant demeanor, a beautiful face, blonde hair, and her enchanting green eyes, so who else could it be other than the Queen of the Shadows, Princess Tamei Ro.
