"Kill!"
Prince William's mansion.
Accompanied by the shouts of war from Prince Poole's confidant, tens of thousands of troops, half of them, five thousand men, charged into Prince William's mansion. However, bizarrely, the main gate was breached directly.
In less than a minute, over a thousand men had flooded into the mansion, followed by a torrent of blood and screams that pierced the sky, interweaving above Prince William's residence.
"This is bad, it's a trap!"
"Retreat quickly!!"
However, the counterattack was too sudden, and the attackers' prowess was so overwhelming that it plunged them into despair. In an instant, over a thousand men lay dead. By the time the advancing five thousand troops retreated from Prince William's mansion, their core army had lost no less than two thousand men.
In a single exchange, Prince Poole's forces had lost twenty percent of their men. Prince Poole's face turned ashen, his expression menacing.
"Brother Poole, are you satisfied with this grand gift from me?"
Then, Prince William emerged from the mansion, strolling leisurely. Beside him stood three figures: Lin Feng, Baili Wushuang, and Leng Feiyan.
"Hmph!?"
"Traitor... Leng Feiyan!!"
Ai Li recognized Leng Feiyan at first glance. However, Leng Feiyan's aura now was no weaker than his own. Seeing this, Ai Li's heart skipped a beat.
The two four-winged angels beside him felt the same. They hadn't expected Leng Feiyan, after three years, to have reached their level.
"Leng Feiyan, how dare you!"
Ai Li's face turned grim, his killing intent radiating all around. "The Church of Light hasn't sought you out, yet you deliver yourself to our doorstep. Good! Very good!!"
A traitor to the Church of Light?
Hearing Ai Li's words, Prince Poole felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding. Could it be that he couldn't destroy that trash today? No, impossible!
Today, no matter what, that trash must die!!
"By my command, Prince Poole is guilty of grave sins, usurping the throne and murdering his father. Heaven and earth will not tolerate this!"
"Today, I, William, swear here to slay the sinner of my royal family!!"
Following this, William took out a signal flare, which shot into the sky with a whoosh, then bloomed into a spectacular display.
*Pop~*
The brilliant fireworks were clearly visible even from miles away, indicating that Prince William had his own contingency plans.
Soon, Prince Poole received a series of ominous reports.
"Your Highness, this is bad!"
"Nearly sixty percent of our army has suddenly rebelled, directly executing our generals. I fear... the remaining forty percent are now scattered and disorganized. We... our cause is lost."
A confidant of Prince Poole, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, looked at Prince William with changed eyes. Was this truly the refined Prince William? His methods were too terrifying, to achieve such complete defeat in the palm of his hand.
"This... impossible??"
Prince Poole, hearing his subordinate, looked at William, his supposedly useless younger brother, in disbelief. "How? He was just an uneducated good-for-nothing. How could he have bribed so many of my men?"
"Trash!"
Ai Li, seeing the bewildered Prince Poole, couldn't fathom why the person he had chosen was so incompetent, oblivious to the fact that his own subordinates had been bribed.
"However, as long as we eliminate everyone here, what does it matter if they control everything else? In the face of absolute strength, all else is futile."
Ai Li's eyes hardened. He exchanged a subtle glance with the other two four-winged angels, a consensus reached. "Act!"
*Whoosh~*
Three piercing sounds cut through the air, instantly attacking Prince William. Prince Poole's eyes lit up. Yes, capture the leader first. As long as that trash was killed, there was still a chance.
However, Prince Poole's thought lasted for less than three seconds.
*Puff~*
A splash of crimson blood erupted. The next moment, Ai Li had transformed into a streak of light, flying backward, spitting blood from his mouth, severely wounded. The other two four-winged angels were engaged in fierce combat with Baili Wushuang and Leng Feiyan, but were terrifyingly suppressed by them.
"Impossible!!"
Ai Li stabilized himself and saw a figure appear before him. "Who... who are you!!"
Ai Li couldn't believe it. He had been defeated in a single move, without even a chance to resist. The opponent's strength was terrifying. Could it be...?
Peak War God!
A peak War God expert. Damn it, how could this be?
How could such a powerful being appear in the royal family of the small Eagle Kingdom, and at that prince's command?
"People of the Church of Light, you deserve to die!"
*Whoosh~*
The next moment, Lin Feng's figure vanished. He reappeared more than a meter behind Ai Li. Ai Li's pupils dilated as blood spurted from his neck. His eyes widened, "You... you dare kill me, you... the Church of Light will not let you go."
With intense unwillingness, Ai Li's consciousness dissipated.
*Thump!*
He fell to the ground, a cold corpse.
"What!?"
The other two four-winged angels, seeing their strongest among them, Ai Li, killed in two moves, were instantly overcome with terror. In their shock, they were severely wounded by Baili Wushuang and Leng Feiyan. Then, two streams of blood gushed from their necks, their momentary lapse of attention exploited by Baili Wushuang and Leng Feiyan, who killed them on the spot.
"This is bad!"
"These people are too strong, retreat!!!"
The remaining twenty two-winged angels, seeing this, turned and fled without a second thought. As for the more than two hundred angels, there was no need to mention them. However, before they could make a move, *swish swish~*
Over a thousand figures appeared from all directions. Each figure was incredibly powerful. To Prince William's stunned gaze, in an instant, the entire contingent of the Church of Light preparing to escape was annihilated.
*Gulp~*
Prince William gulped. My goodness, Mr. Ye Xuan, oh no, Duke Ye Xuan's subordinates are too formidable! This is incredible!
"If I were to have such powerful allies or partners in the future, who could covet my throne? Who would dare?"
Prince William had endured for so many years. He knew too well the importance of having such a formidable force. If his father had possessed such power, how could Poole, that beast, have succeeded!
"Prince Poole murdered his father and usurped the throne. Heaven and earth will not tolerate this!"
"Lay down your arms, and I will spare your lives!!"
At this moment, Prince William's plan unfolded. No less than fifty thousand troops controlled the scene, no, the entire royal city. To be honest, if not for the fear of Ai Li and his group, ten Princes Poole would not have been a match for Prince William.
*Puff~*
Just then, an anomaly occurred. A confidant behind Prince Poole, his eyes flickering, his gaze hardening, plunged a sword directly into his abdomen. Blood dripped from the tip of the sword. Prince Poole looked back at his cold-faced confidant in disbelief, "You... you actually killed me!!"
Until his dying breath, Prince Poole couldn't believe he had died at the hands of his confidant. Thus, the farce orchestrated by Prince Poole came to an end with his death. If the leaders of the Church of Light knew of this, one wonders if they would have coughed up blood in anger.
