Chapter 801: Crown Prince

Chapter 801: Crown Prince



Richard nodded in relief, the days he spent in the city he used to marvel at its beauty and the arrangement of the buildings that looked like an artistic painting, so Caesar told him the secret of the city that only a few knew... The city itself is an integrated Array.

So Richard was not very surprised by the mayor's answer. The Imperial Capital is the strongest fortress in the four planets without a doubt. It would be strange if it fell so quickly. According to Caesar's interpretation, his father Ruben personally designed arrays to protect the city's walls and atmosphere, and Jabba put his magic touch by drawing these arrays using the city's quarters and towers instead of drawing them underneath them, thus creating a three-dimensional array. It can be said that it is a joint work between the Master and his Disciple to ultimately produce the largest and most powerful array known to date.

"Sigh- I'm afraid that if we had relied on the array alone, the Imperial Capital would have fallen under the weight of that terrifying attack from hundreds of Martial Emperors, but fortunately, His Excellency and Her Highness Zara invented the Field Hospital Instant Array and no longer needed the Life Emperors in Nihari's War, so they decided to leave them here as elders to manage the Empire in their absence, if it were not for those twenty elders supplying the Sky Dome array with life energy day and night, we would not have been able to survive until now..."

Then Henry continued in a depressed voice, "The second reason behind our resilience is the suicide attacks. Whenever the Sky Dome array is about to be destroyed, several hundred soldiers rush out to distract the attackers using their lives. We have lost a lot of good people so far..."

"Give me an estimated time for the fall of the capital." Richard got straight to the point The mayor waited a few seconds and then sent his answer, "...Five days. After five days, there will be no one left in the city strong enough to carry out a suicide operation."

"Five days, huh? More than I thought." Richard muttered and then sent, "Within five days, the surroundings of the Imperial Capital will be cleared, this is my promise to you."

"Your Highness!! Please do not worry about us. If you want to help, you can participate in city battles on any continent. In every city, a shadow sword has been planted to lead its people. Find the shadow sword in the city closest to you and cooperate with him. You can help the Empire this way!"

Richard showed a slight smile, "I'm not that weak, Uncle Henry, just spread my words and wait." Then Richard ended the transmission.

He began to look around, "In every city, there is a shadow sword, huh? Interesting.." *Shhhh*

A huge amount of green flame began to rush from Richard's feet to the ground. After a full minute, Richard stopped pumping out more, then sat down and closed his eyes.

*Shaa* Richard's hair suddenly flared up, "What are you going to do? Why are you going to leave them for five days when we can arrive in a few hours? Didn't you hear that they would buy this time with their blood? These are our family!"

*Bush* "You asked for help, now shut up and let me do my job!" Richard's hair went out and he reacted in annoyance, then focused on controlling the flame he had injected into the city...

Since those hands pulled him, he was passed through an underground tunnel very quickly and yet he did not receive a single scratch. This kind of superior control means that the person in front of him is alarming, and he most likely kept him alive because he needed information from him... He was certain that it would be impossible for him to win against this character, but he will not reveal anything today!

Finally, a smile appeared on Richard's calm face and he stood up sighing, "...Heh~ Even with your failure to expose the rebels, the Shadow Swords are still the true treasure of this Empire. You may relax, maybe you know me. My name is Richard Burton." Then he lit his green flame, and from what the girl said a little while ago, it seems that this flame is somewhat famous *shawaaa*

"Rich--..?! Your Highness the Crown Prince?!" Shadow Sword quickly knelt down, even forgetting to use the Voice Changing Technique.

As for Richard, he continued, "I need someone who is smart and agile to perform a very important task, and since I do not have many options, you will be the one."

"This is an honor for me, Crown Prince!! But the city..." Shadow Sword shouted loudly and then looked back slowly, "It is the city entrusted to me. There are 50,000 citizens here, most of whom are women, children, and workers from the poor class. They are good people who fight for the Empire! They were attacked by 4000 rebels half a day ago, and the situation does not bode well. If you leave them and leave now and leave them without a leading figure, the city will fall within two hours at most."

Richard smiled and then closed his eyes. The eyes and ears distributed around the city began to move madly for a few seconds before he slowly opened them, "If I am called the Crown Prince and then one of the Shadow Swords is more careful about the lives of my citizens than I am, wouldn't that make me look bad?" Then he snapped his finger.

*Shwalaa* *Crack* *Crack*

"Ahh!!!"

"Ah! What's going on?"

"ARGHAAAA!!!!"

Richard nodded twice when he heard these sounds, then the green flame began to return from under the ground and rush towards the bottom of his foot again, with a larger quantity this time. Richard then took a deep breath with a big smile, grabbed the shocked Shadow Sword from under his armpit, and flew quickly.

The Shadow Sword looked behind him, towards the city where he thought he would die today, and found the most shocking scene he he could imagine...

He saw thousands of piles emerging from the ground like ship masts, and on top of each pile, there was a corpse like a mummy.
