The moment he heard Count Levan shouting the order, Thales was subconsciously shocked.

No.

We are obviously already here...

A trembling feeling came from the prince's back, surged to the top of his head, and spread throughout his body.

"Qiang!"

This is the sound of weapons being unsheathed, front and back, left and right, noisy and chaotic, but chilling.

Thales felt that his breathing was about to stop, and his eyes slowly widened.

No.

The sin of Hell River is generated again in the body without the user's call, and floods into his brain.

calm.

Thales said to himself.

From the chaotic shouting from both sides to the tense but neat drawing of swords by the soldiers, Thales watched everything in front of him slow down.

The noisy scene was like water being poured into a lake, and most of the sounds were eliminated in an instant.

Thales gritted his teeth as hard as he could, and slowly turned around as time slowed down.

In his field of vision, Count Levan looked fierce, slowly waved his left hand, and roared something.

Beside Earl Lewan, Slys had a subtle look of astonishment on his face. He slowly turned his head and looked at Thales with complicated eyes that were difficult to decipher.

Urad's gloomy expression revealed sternness and pain. He stared at Miranda and slowly retreated into his own formation amid the chaos.

On the ground, two squads of Black Sand Soldiers looked decisive and ferocious. With weapons in hand, they stepped on the snow and advanced step by step.

We are exposed.

He was exposed just at the city gate, and he couldn't even touch the gate of the Palace of Heroes.

Not even Lombard's... not even the shadow of the personal guards around him was seen, let alone the four Grand Dukes.

Thales gasped in a daze.

Behind him, Cohen, holding a sword in his hand, was anxiously saying something to Miranda, who still looked in disbelief.

Raphael's expression had never been so serious and solemn, and the young man from the secret department decisively pulled out the long sword at his waist.

A dozen White Blade Guards let out a uniform and shocking roar, displayed their weapons, and stood on the front line without flinching.

what to do.

Thales was trembling all over, almost breaking his teeth.

He was caught off guard when he was attacked by a vampire in the Mindis Hall, he was unexpectedly involved in an assassination in front of the Fuxing Palace, he was in a panic, he was suddenly attacked by the Queen of Night and the Holy Blood Corps in the birch forest, and he was in a panic when he was trapped in a tight siege under Broken Dragon Fortress.

Thales desperately recalled these sudden battles and the means he used to escape each time.

Useless.

All methods ever used…

Compared with the situation in front of me...

In the timeline that was extended several times in his mind, Thales watched nervously on the broad steps leading to the top of the city gate on both sides. The Black Sand soldiers who were preparing to return to their posts turned around and descended, stepping slowly and forcefully.

With their footsteps, countless teams were pulled towards them, rushing towards their team of more than 20 people.

It's chilling.

At this moment.

"Beep——"

A rapid, harsh and panic-inducing whistle suddenly sounded from far above the head!

Thales was slightly shocked.

The rapid whistle like an alarm bell broke Thales' slow-time state, and everything in front of him returned to the normal flow of time.

"Beep——"

The whistle went straight into everyone's ears.

Everyone who heard this whistle, whether they were on the Black Sand Leader's side, or on the Star and White Blade Guards' side, suddenly changed their colors!

Count Levan, Nikolai, Urad, and Michael all raised their heads and looked at the city gate above their heads. Even the movements of their hands couldn't help but slow down.

The scene at that moment was like a sudden explosion of thunder, disturbing everyone's morning dreams.

"Beep——"

The whistle continued, spreading far and wide.

Thales also raised his head in astonishment and followed everyone's gaze towards the top of the city gate.

What's wrong?

He no longer had to wonder.

As the whistle stopped, a loud male voice came from above, breaking through the noisy crowd and blasting through the door:

"urgent!"

"The enemy - those patrols are gathering!" The owner of that voice was almost unable to suppress anxiety and irritability, almost shouting to the point of breaking his throat, but still roared desperately:

"They're going to attack the city!"

The news was too sudden. At that moment, Count Levan's face became extremely pale, and Wulard's gloomy expression also stiffened.

Thales was also shocked by the news.

This is……

"Everyone!" The roaring voice sounded from above the head again:

"Back to combat duty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of hundreds of people's running footsteps sounded from the city gate above his head, making it chaotic and shocking.

Whether on the steps or on the ground, the soldiers in the Black Sand Territory were suddenly shocked and suspicious.

But just a few tenths of a second later, as a commander, the experienced Earl Levan gritted his teeth, turned his head towards Thales and the others, and shouted angrily:

"Let these people—"

But before he shouted a complete sentence...

"boom!"

An astonishing and terrifying thick dull sound sounded out of thin air!

Attracted everyone's attention.

Thales turned his head subconsciously and looked at the source of the sound.

It's a meteorite.

In Thales's eyes, he saw an unprecedentedly ferocious look on Nikolai's face. He slashed hard at an enemy shield blocking the doorway.

Without any pause, the Fallen Star roared and twisted his hips forward, kicking out his left leg!

"Boom!"

There was another terrifying dull sound.

The enemy spurted blood and flew two meters away.

"Breakout!" The Fallen Star roared at the top of his lungs.

Nikolai was like a humanoid weapon that could not stop burning. The soul-breaking blade was in his hand, and he slashed at the next enemy again.

The Fallen Starman roared angrily, and the soul-breaking blade drew a blood line on the opponent's abdomen. With his face full of blood, he roared: "Leave the horse behind and charge inward!"

The next second, almost all the White Blade Guards moved at the same time.

A dozen ferocious northern men roared and rushed towards the Palace of Heroes. In line with Nicolai, they pounced on the enemy who either reacted subconsciously or was prepared, and brandished their weapons...!

"laugh!"

"clang!"

Blood and metal shine, and temperature and collision coexist.

The White Blade Guards, who attacked at all costs, cut down many people in one encounter.

Only then did the soldiers from the Black Sand Territory react.

The soldiers on the stairs accelerated down, while the two teams on the ground also roared and rushed towards the breakers with fanaticism and fury.

"superior!"

"Kill them all!"

Just when Thales figured out the current situation, he was stopped by the waist by the ruthless-faced Cohen behind him and picked him up!

What are you doing——

At that moment, Thales only had time to glance at the astonished Marquis Slice in the crowd, and his subconscious steps back.

Like the most alert antelope, the young security officer straightened up and ran out in an instant!

He gritted his teeth, veins popped out, held Thales in his left hand, followed Nicolai's footsteps, and rushed out of the doorway.

This feeling - as if a fire was burning in Cohen's heart - was like returning to the Blade Tooth Camp, the Western Front, and the nightmarish desert battlefield.

Break out, or be killed.

Cohen roared angrily, unsheathing his sword.

"clang!"

He hit the first enemy in the chest, but found that the opponent was wearing chain armor and the effect was limited.
