Imperial capital Weisbat.

Knowing that foreign troops were about to arrive here, the city was in chaos. Many residents were worried that they would be burned, killed, and robbed by foreign soldiers. They packed up their valuables and prepared to leave the city for refuge.

The four city gates were crowded with people, and almost all of them were fleeing.

Palace castle, office.

Emperor Nicoste Bejana was sitting alone at his desk, his face was very gloomy and he was in an extremely bad mood.

He had already learned about the situation of the second night attack from the knights who had returned.

The operation was a complete failure. Not only were the entire Magic Stone Soldiers annihilated, but they also failed to cause too much damage to the enemy. Even Dill, the so-called most perfect Magic Stone Warrior, died on the battlefield.

To be honest, Bejana still can't accept this result.

Obviously the first night attack achieved pretty good results, why did the second night attack end like this?

I originally thought that even if the enemy was on guard, they could still create some chaos with the magic stone soldiers' keen perception and strong individual combat effectiveness.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dill's flying ability was used to forcibly seize the life of the enemy's top commander from the thousands of troops, allowing the Kingdom of Dawn army to be defeated without a fight.

However, they never expected that the enemy seemed to have known where the magic stone soldiers would launch a sneak attack and prepared for the battle outside the camp in advance, causing the night attack to fail.

Like Dill, Bejana couldn't figure out how the other party discovered them in advance at first, and finally thought of a traitor.

For those who betray the empire, Bejana will never let them go.

Since he didn't know who the traitor was, he simply ordered all the knights who escaped to be executed. He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Right now, the war situation is very bad.

The allied forces of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Venola Council are gradually approaching the imperial capital of Weisbat, and it is too late for the chief magician Cachido Bannon to create another army of magic stone soldiers.

Therefore, Bejana could only send people to rush to the battlefield in the southern part of the empire and urgently recall the troops that were fighting against the Fajialan Alliance and the Starflame Kingdom coalition.

After receiving the emperor's order, Ice Peak Knight Locke Russ, one of the three heroic knights of the empire, realized that the situation in the imperial capital was very critical, so he ordered the army to retreat hastily.

However, even if this army comes back, it is estimated that it will not be able to prevent the fall of the imperial capital.

The reason is that the Kingdom of Dawn's army equipped with new weapons is too powerful and is invincible and unstoppable on the battlefield.

Even the 40,000-strong army led by the Lightning Knight Bader Pnir was defeated and failed to defend Einbeck. The same will probably be true for the 20,000-man army led by Locke.

"hateful!"

Thinking of this, Bejana couldn't help but raise his hand and hammer the table, and said unwillingly: "How can we reverse the current unfavorable situation?"

Even now, he is still thinking about what to do to make a comeback.

Surrender? This option does not exist!

Bejana was very resistant to surrender. He would rather die gloriously on the battlefield than give up resistance and let others slaughter him.

Speaking of which, Bejana is still very confident in his own skills and thinks that the three heroic knights of the empire are no match for him.

However, no matter how strong a person's combat effectiveness is, it is difficult to reverse the unfavorable situation of the war. The outcome of the war is usually decided before the war begins.

Unless this individual is very powerful and is not at the same level as the enemy, it can turn the tide of the battle.

The Black Dragon King is a good example. It has the ability to destroy countries, and armies from all countries do not dare to provoke it easily.

"It seems that we can only give it a try."

At this time, a sharp light flashed in Bejana's eyes, as if he had made a major decision.

"Come here, go and get Kachiduo over to me."

…

When Kachido came to the office, he saw Bejana sitting at the table, carefully observing a purple-black magic stone in his hand.

In addition, there is an exquisite-looking wooden box placed on the table, which is filled with magic stones of various colors, all of which are crystal clear in color and contain extremely high concentrations of magic power.

If you stare carefully at the wooden box, you can vaguely see that the surrounding air is distorting. This is caused by the fluctuation of magic power emitted by the magic stone.

Obviously, all the magic stones in the wooden box are the best of the best and are of great value. They are top-notch collections that can only be owned by the imperial family.

Noticing Kachido's arrival, Bejana immediately issued an order: "Everyone except Kachido, please retreat. No one is allowed to approach this place without my permission."

"As commanded."

After receiving the order, the servants and guards exited the room one after another and closed the door, leaving only Bejana and Kachido inside.

Walking up to Bejana, Kachiduo touched his chest and saluted, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, why did you summon me here?"

Upon hearing this, Bejana did not raise his head to look at the chief magician, but continued to examine the purple-black magic stone in his hand.

"Kachido, do you still remember this magic stone?"

"Of course I remember, Your Majesty the Emperor." Kachido answered truthfully, "This is an anti-belief magic stone discovered in the empire more than ten years ago."

More than ten years ago, a team of adamantine-level adventurers accepted the guild's commission and headed to the depths of the Foluo Mountains.

During the mission, they accidentally discovered a special naturally formed magic stone, the only one in the world.

Hearing this rumor, Bejana was very curious about it at the time, so he bought it at a huge price before the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris.

After Cachiduo's research, it was confirmed that the function of the magic stone is to invalidate the magic of faith, so it was named the anti-faith magic stone.

It was precisely because Kachiduo had studied it that he could recognize the magic stone in Bejana's hand at a glance.

This matter was later accidentally learned by the Lumigare Cult, who claimed that the magic stone was an unknown object and strongly requested the emperor to destroy it.

In order to stabilize the church, Bejana secretly colluded with the metropolitan of the imperial capital, destroyed a fake magic stone in public, and hid the real magic stone.

"It's good if you still remember."

With that said, Bejana held the anti-belief magic stone in his hand and looked up at Kachido.

"Cachido, I have an important task for you to handle."

"Please give me your Majesty's orders. I will do my best." Kachiduo raised his hand to touch his chest again and lowered his head.

"Including this one in my hand, and the wooden box on the table."

Bejana first raised the hand holding the magic stone, and then pointed to the wooden box on the table with the other hand.

"There are a total of one hundred and eight top-quality magic stones here, including the flying magic stone that was synthesized by the former chief magician Paluda Enzes himself and is most satisfied with the quality."

At this point, he paused for a moment, and then continued word by word.
