"Watching in the darkness, reborn in blood, we are the Watchers."

"We will guard the last spark of humanity!"

A deep voice announced the identity of this person.

A Legendary powerhouse of the Watchers organization!

Below, Taside shouted excitedly, "Seventh Elder, I am Taside, please save me!"

General Kero had already broken free from that Legendary-level pressure.

Then he shouted angrily, "Take down Taside first, dead or alive!"

As the words fell.

The surrounding Royal Palace Guards forcibly suppressed the fear in their hearts and launched an attack on Taside one after another.

Faced with the concentrated fire of a dozen Tier 7 powerhouses, Taside was sent flying backward in an instant and was beaten until he vomited blood uncontrollably!

Seeing this scene, the presence in the sky, whose face could not be clearly seen, whispered.

"Every member of the Watchers is a spark of humanity for the new era."

"Whoever extinguishes the spark is an enemy of humanity!"

"Go, save him."

As the words fell.

At least a dozen auras erupted in various areas of the Eternal Frost Main City!

These auras also radiated madness and bloodthirst.

And they were extremely powerful, surpassing Tier 7!

Directly reaching the Hero-level of Tier 8!

Just by appearing, there were over a dozen Hero-level creatures, plus one Legendary creature!

This is the foundation of the Watchers!

At the same time, those dozen figures rushed toward the Royal Palace area.

At this moment, the shadow of that Legendary creature covered the sky, and a blood-colored vortex began to rotate slowly.

Everyone felt as if the blood in their bodies was being stirred up, and fine blood beads appeared on their skin.

Those soldiers all felt a crisis of death approaching!

Seeing this scene, the old King frowned slightly.

"I didn't expect… before the Blood Legion has even emerged, our Eternal Frost Main City would have to suffer an attack from the Watchers first?"

"However, to think you can take down the Eternal Frost Main City with just one Legendary creature, isn't that too delusional?"

As the words fell, an extremely vast and deep aura erupted from his aged body!

At the same time, a cyan beam of light piercing the sky and earth rushed out from the deepest part of the Royal Palace, directly dispersing the blood-colored vortex overhead.

The bloodthirsty aura shrouding the entire Main City was directly neutralized.

The civilians in the Main City all felt the oppressive sensation of death dissipate.

The old King said in a deep voice, "All warriors of the Kingdom, prepare to face the enemy!"

"Do not be afraid, I will strike personally and slay the Watchers."

From that cyan beam of light, a peculiar energy instantly overflowed, covering the entire Eternal Frost Main City.

At this moment, the civilians of the Main City felt a gentle force that helped them neutralize the fear in their hearts.

Furthermore, those soldiers felt their strength suddenly surge by a significant margin!

Excitement appeared in their eyes as they shouted, "This is the power of the Kingdom Holy Sword!"

"The Ice Crystal Kingdom will be victorious!"

"His Majesty the King will be victorious!"

The fanatical cheers resounded through the sky!

…

At this moment, Cao Xing was still looking at the figure beside him with a grave expression.

Because he was the closest, his perception was extremely clear.

The aura that this old King erupted with had absolutely reached the Legendary level!

In the past two days, counting the Valkyrie unleashing her second form, and this Legendary creature of the Watchers in the sky, this was the third Legendary powerhouse he had seen!

Beings that previously only existed in legends seemed to have popped up all at once.

However, precisely because he was close, Cao Xing could sense that the old King's aura seemed a bit off.

It was a feeling like a candle flickering in the wind, desperately burning itself out… it might even be extinguished at any moment.

Before he could sense it in detail.

The old King's figure had already disappeared from where he stood; he had gone to confront the Watchers' Legendary creature overhead.

At this moment, blood had covered the sky, shrouding the entire Eternal Frost Main City.

And just at this moment, following a cyan light that shot into the sky, the blood was dispersed.

Two figures approached rapidly.

And without any superfluous words, they engaged in the most intense collision right from the start!

"Hum!"

Two completely different forces erupted, entangling and annihilating each other.

After reaching a certain critical point, they exploded instantly like a nuclear bomb!

The position of their battle was high in the sky, over ten thousand meters up.

But even so, the entire Main City was constantly trembling.

Everyone could not see the specific scene of the battle, only the two colors appearing in the sky.

The two Legendary creatures engaged in a fierce battle, and the sky shook continuously.

And as the Legendary battle began.

The Royal Palace also ushered in its most chaotic moment.

Those dozen Watchers with strong blood qi radiating from their bodies had already rushed into the Main City.

However, they did not attack the civilians.

Instead, they charged all the way into the Royal Palace, preparing to rescue Taside.

At the same time.

The Ironwall Guard legion had already formed up in the streets, waiting in full battle array.

They were here to intercept these Watchers powerhouses.

However, these Tier 5 Ironwall Guards, even with the legion bonds of ten thousand men, still had too large a gap compared to these Tier 8 powerhouses.

One of the Watchers members was extremely fast, arriving in front of this group of Ironwall Guards in the blink of an eye.

A playful voice rang out.

"Heh… a bunch of ants throwing their lives away for a decaying kingdom."

"Go to hell!"

As the words fell, he extended his right hand, and boundless blood qi erupted!

The powerful force swept through the surroundings like a blood-colored sea wave.

"Boom!"

The area over a hundred meters in front was directly cleared by this mass of blood qi!

These Ironwall Guards, along with their armor, were all blasted into blood foam!

The ground was covered with scattered chunks of flesh and fragments of internal organs, mixed with the constantly falling snowflakes, which were frozen in a short time.

Such a bloody and brutal scene stimulated the nerves of the other soldiers.

However, these soldiers had also undergone strict training and had participated in many life-and-death battles.

They reacted quickly to this situation.

"Form up! Prepare to strangle the enemy!" Following a captain's order, the Ironwall Guards changed their formation again.

At the same time, a large number of Kingdom Archers appeared behind these guards; they pulled their bowstrings without hesitation and shot the arrows in their hands.

"Whoosh!"

A dense rain of arrows descended!

But these Watchers members did not dodge or avoid them.

Facing the arrows filling the sky, they waved their hands casually.

The frozen blood on the ground was stirred up, forming a blood shield on each person.

All the arrows landed on it, causing ripples, but did not cause any damage.

This method of manipulating blood seemed to be something every Watcher could do.

After having this layer of shield, they became even more uninhibited, pouncing forward like hungry wolves hunting for prey.

"Boom!"

Balls of blood qi erupted crazily, descending like cannonballs!

The Ironwall Guards, faced with this pervasive attack, could not block it at all.

Every second, a large number of Ironwall Guards were blasted into fragments and died!

In just a few seconds, these dozen Hero-level creatures slaughtered thousands of Ironwall Guards.

And at this moment, a group of heavy armored knights rushed out quickly from the depths of the Royal Palace!

They held long spears in their hands, while their other hands tightly gripped enchanted shields, their momentum astonishing.

"Kill! Defeat these guys who dare to invade the Main City!"

"Rumble!"

The continuous sound of hooves brought a heavy sense of oppression.

One of the Watchers members seemed to see that this group of heavy armored knights was not to be trifled with.

Then he said, "Don't waste time playing with these small fry here."

"Taside is almost unable to hold on over there, go save him."

Hearing this, a large number of Watchers members erupted instantly.

They all broke through the defense of the Ironwall Guards and charged toward the Royal Palace.

At the same time, hidden powerful auras erupted one after another within the Royal Palace!

Besides the dozen Tier 7 powerhouses surrounding Taside, a dozen more Tier 7 powerhouses appeared again in other corners.

Among them, there were even two or three Tier 8 powerhouses!

Clearly, this was the hidden power of the Eternal Frost Main City.

It was all revealed at this moment, just to stop these Watchers!

"Stop them! Do not let these guys enter the Royal Palace!"

"Kill!"

Figures rushed out with powerful momentum, intercepting a large number of the Watchers!

However, the Watchers were an ancient organization that had existed for who knows how many years.

Back then, they summoned the Blood Legion, and back then, they even destroyed many kingdoms!

Their foundation was far from something a single kingdom could compare to!

With just a casual move, there was a Legendary, and over a dozen Heroes.

In terms of the quantity and quality of powerhouses, they far exceeded the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

At this moment, in one-on-one situations, the powerhouses on the Ice Crystal Kingdom's side were being beaten back steadily, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

…

On the other side, Kero was fighting a great battle with Taside!

And this guy, in the process of fighting, actually had the power of blood surging from his body, even faintly suppressing Kero.

Taside laughed wantonly!

"Hahaha! Kero, do you know your stupidity now?"

"The power of the Watchers far exceeds your imagination; the hidden powerhouses in the Royal Palace are simply vulnerable before us!"

"Don't you understand yet? The kingdom you protect is about to collapse; the so-called kingdom glory is just an excuse used to bind you and make you willing to throw your life away!"

"This is a stupid system, and we, the Watchers, will become the creators of a new order!"

Kero naturally also sensed the battle situation in other areas.

Basically, the Watchers' side held the advantage.

If it went on like this, the entire Royal Palace would be conquered.

He was silent for a moment, seemingly having made a decision.

"All Royal Palace Guards, leave Taside to me."

"You go to the Royal Palace to support the others."

The surrounding dozen Royal Palace Guard captains with Tier 7 strength looked at each other.

"Understood!"

Then, their figures flashed and disappeared from where they stood.

After those palace guard captains left, Kro swung his massive war blade and slammed it violently toward Taside!

"Boom!!"

A crack over a hundred meters long appeared on the ground!

Even Taside dared not take this strike from Kro head-on.

"Kro, stop!"

"There are only the two of us here now; we can have a proper talk!"

"The Watchers appreciate you; joining us is the wisest choice!"

However, General Kro didn't bother with idle chatter, raising his war blade and pouncing forward like a starving wolf.

"Stubborn fool!"

Taside cursed angrily and then began to seriously deal with General Kro's offensive.

As for the battlefields of the other powerhouses in the palace, with the addition of these palace guards, the situation gradually stabilized in two-on-one scenarios.

Now, the number of powerhouses on both sides was roughly evenly matched; it would depend on who could hold out until the end.

…

…

Elsewhere.

Cao Xing, Sarah, and the others stood there in a daze, watching everything before them.

Who would have thought that just a few minutes ago, the entire palace had been in a state of tranquility?

They had even been discussing how to deal with the Church of Light.

Yet now, things had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the entire main city was engulfed in the flames of war.

Braum scratched his head and asked, "My Lord, what do we do now? Do we need to intervene?"

Cao Xing was about to say no.

But at that moment, he suddenly thought of something.

Currently, Kro was fighting Taside alone and might not be able to take him down in a short time.

After all, both were Tier 7 Overlords, and everyone possessed robust vitality.

It was normal for a battle to last for half an hour without a clear winner.

But it was different for Cao Xing's side.

They were all physical damage dealers, with terrifyingly powerful output capabilities.

If they fought together, they could absolutely insta-kill a Tier 7 Overlord in a short time!

And since Taside was a traitor to the kingdom, the old King wouldn't say much if they took him out.

Besides, if he dropped an Overlord-level soul, that would be a massive windfall!

Driven by the massive potential gains, Cao Xing was strongly tempted.

In just a few seconds, he made his decision and said:

"Let's go, we're heading to the back."

"Take out Taside!"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the faces of everyone present.

They had guessed that their Lord wouldn't just sit quietly in the back and watch the show.

In an instant, everyone entered combat mode.

Assam whistled, and his mount, the Frost Wolf Winter, which was currently outside the main city, heard the call.

It rushed over at top speed.

Because of the 230% speed bonus, Winter's burst speed had already reached the Tier 8 level, fast as lightning!

"Whoosh!"

As a gust of wind sounded.

A pair of transparent Wind Wings instantly materialized behind Cao Xing, and he led the others as they charged deep into the palace.

Very quickly, Cao Xing arrived at the area where Kro and Taside were fighting.

At this moment, Taside was still spewing trash talk, attempting to distract his enemy.

"Kro, you cannot kill me!"

"On the contrary, if you refuse to submit, today will be your doom."

"Join the Watchers; stop fighting for this corrupt regime and fight for all of humanity, just like us!"

Kro sneered, "Hypocrisy!"

"Because of your so-called ideals, many kingdoms have been plunged into turmoil, and countless civilians have died."

"And now you're still waving the banner of fighting for all of humanity."

Taside argued, "You don't understand at all; as long as the Bloo…"

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly sensed a chill behind him!

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain.

"Ssh!"

[-176627!]

A terrifying damage number appeared!

Taside turned around instantly and saw at a glance a figure exuding an aura of darkness that distorted the very light!

That aura, nearly reaching the level of a Mutated Overlord, brought a sense of oppressive death to Taside!

He realized instantly that he was no match for this dark shadow before him.

He just wanted to put some distance between them.

But Cao Xing instantly raised his hand, summoning dozens of ice walls that surrounded him completely.

Taside was just about to channel the power of blood to blast through the ice walls.

Cao Xing waved his staff, "Detonate!"

"Bang!!!"

[-86266] [-152562!] [-91358] [-187632!] …

After the violent explosion, terrifying damage numbers popped up one after another.

Taside was completely stunned by this series of attacks.

When he staggered and rolled out from the pile of ice shards, he quickly scanned his surroundings.

He immediately noticed Cao Xing floating in the air.

He immediately roared, "Damn it, it's you!"

"An Otherworld Lord, actually daring to attack me!"

Even Kro was very surprised; he hadn't expected Cao Xing to suddenly intervene.

Cao Xing smiled, "General Kro, you wouldn't mind if I took this guy out, would you?"

Kro understood and quickly said, "Please, Lord Cao Xing, feel free to act."

"If you can kill him, it will be a great service to the kingdom."

Hearing this, Cao Xing had even fewer scruples.

Raising his staff, he unleashed powerful ice-element magic.

Blasting Taside until he screamed endlessly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Assam had already mounted the Frost Wolf Winter.

A magical power surged up from both him and the Frost Wolf simultaneously.

At this moment, they seemed to become a single entity, becoming even stronger.

Whether it was the mount beneath him or Assam himself, their auras surged significantly!

[Your territory member: Assam used [Frost Wolf Dance], gaining 50% of the mount Winter's attributes. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this effect has become permanent!]

"Swish!"

Assam slashed forward, sending out a Frost Wolf Sword Qi.

The bluestone ground along its path was sliced open, and it hit Taside with lightning speed.

The momentum didn't stop there; it went on to slice a nearby mansion in half.

"Pfft!"

[-171926!]

A massive damage number appeared over Taside.

He looked at Assam, who was riding the Frost Wolf, with shock; there was no longer any of the previous contempt in his eyes!

Because he realized just how terrifying this group of people was!

Any one of them could kill him!

On the other side, Isabelle flipped through the Bright Holy Scripture in her hand, continuously casting light-element magic.

Since Cao Xing had already burned bridges with the Church of Light, there was no need to keep hiding.

When Taside sensed this light aura, he immediately looked over, his pupils instantly shrinking!

"This is our church's scripture, how is it in your hands?"

There was a look of suspicion and uncertainty in his eyes as he looked at Isabelle, then at Cao Xing.

He realized something in an instant and exclaimed, "I understand now! You were the one who stole our church's scripture back at Lake Doron City!"

"Damn it, so that demon was a disguise of yours."

Even Kro was somewhat surprised.

As a participant in the Battle of Lake Doron City, he knew clearly that the appearance of that demon was crucial.

Especially the post-battle review, which had left them feeling a lingering fear.

If it hadn't been for that demon triggering a strike from the God of Light in the city, while also drawing out the army of strange ghosts ambushed in the city.

And adding in Taside as an inside agent outside.

I'm afraid they would have suffered heavy losses once again in that siege.

Thinking of this, Kro gave Cao Xing another grateful look.

However, Cao Xing did not admit it, "I think you might have misunderstood something. I didn't steal this scripture, and I've never been to Lake Doron City."

"I picked it up on the side of the road."

Taside roared, "Brat, do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"

"I'm telling you, you're in big trouble!"

"You've been targeted by the God of Light. It won't be long before this deity emerges, and you will pay the price for your actions!"

Cao Xing chuckled, "Then we'll talk when he comes out."

"For now, you'd better worry about yourself."

"Kill him."

As he spoke, Sarah, Braum, Assam, and the others had already surrounded him!

Then, everyone launched a storm of attacks against him!

Even Kro continued to swing his war blade, dealing terrifying damage to Taside one after another!

Under the siege of Cao Xing's five great powerhouses, plus another Overlord-level general.

Taside's six million HP was pouring away like water.

While he resisted frantically, he threatened, "You can't kill me! I am a member of the Watchers!"

"If you kill me, you will be hunted endlessly by the Watchers!"

Cao Xing couldn't be bothered to respond, instead looking at Kro on the side and saying:

"General Kro, leave this guy to me; you go and help the others."

Hearing this, Kro, holding his massive war blade, glanced at Taside.

He also knew that this guy couldn't stir up any trouble in the hands of Cao Xing and his group.

"Alright, then many thanks, Lord Cao Xing!"

After saying this, he flew away rapidly to provide support elsewhere.

At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the enemy before him and chuckled, "You'd better drop a soul for me."

"Otherwise, I'll hang your corpse up and feed it to those Blood Spiders!"
