Chapter 309 Breaking the City
In the Tianji Hall of the Dongji City Palace.
The Emperor of Sakura Country was listening to the report from his subordinates.
He was naturally well aware that people from the two communes were gathering in Dongji City.
But now he has no one available under his command. Several ministers of the capital city have all died in Honshu City, and the remaining ministers are less than 8th level.
The Emperor of Sakura Country frowned. His only option now was to defend the palace and wait for the three elders outside the Tianguan to come back and take charge of the situation.
"Your Majesty, do we need to take the initiative?"
An old minister under the Highness inquired.
The Emperor shook his head.
"Don't worry about them. Gather all the forces to the palace and defend it strictly!"
"The palace is guarded by various formations. It will take them at least three days to break in. After three days, the three elders will have returned, and the people from the two communes will not be a big deal."
When the ministers in the hall heard this, they all nodded.
The protective ability of the palace's great formation is very outstanding. Even a 9th-turn professional cannot break through it in a short period of time.
At present, the safest place is the imperial palace.
At the east gate of the imperial palace, a wormhole as high as a person appeared in the open space outside the city wall.
Then Su Ren and others walked out.
Upon seeing this , the Imperial Self-Defense Forces guarding the city walls immediately sounded the alarm.
"Enemy attack!"
"Everyone prepare for battle!"
The guards on the city wall looked nervously at the people appearing below.
The order they received was to defend the palace to the death, so they naturally would not attack rashly.
After Shuiyue Wu and others came out of the wormhole, they looked at the imperial city in front of them with some surprise.
"What is this? The east gate of the palace?"
Although it was night, it did not affect their ability to see where they were.
"Honshu City is more than a thousand miles away from Dongji City, but we can reach the vicinity of the Imperial City in an instant. This is faster than the teleportation array!"
Everyone looked at Su Ren in surprise again.
This kind of spatial displacement over extremely long distances with so many people is a little too terrifying.
If Su Ren had an extremely powerful army, with this sudden attack, all the heads of state on Blue Star would probably have trouble sleeping.
This is simply impossible to guard against.
At this point, they had a new understanding of Su Ren's abilities.
"Mr. Su, do you want to fight directly?"
"I heard that the formations in the palace are interconnected. It will probably take some effort to break through so many formations."
Mizutsuki Takeshi once dreamed of becoming an emperor, so he has a lot of experience in studying the imperial palace.
He knew that Su Ren was extremely powerful, but he still didn't think that Su Ren could break through the imperial city's defenses in a short period of time.
If we could directly enter the imperial palace, that would be simple. We could just capture the emperor and force him to abdicate.
Su Ren actually wanted to enter the palace directly, but he did not have the positioning coordinates inside the palace, so he could only open a wormhole outside the imperial city.
But this is not a problem. Any defense is just paper in front of him.
In the face of absolute power, no matter how strong the defense is, it is useless.
Su Ren drew out his knife and slashed at the imperial city.
A terrifying blade light slashed out, followed by dozens of explosions.
At this moment, the imperial city's defensive formations collapsed completely. Under Su Ren's sword light, they exploded in less than a second.
Also blown up were the numerous guards and Imperial Self-Defense Forces defending the city.
Screams were heard everywhere, and the fire burned half of the East City area.
In the downtown area of Dongji City.
Countless people stopped and looked towards the direction of the palace.
"That is the direction of the Imperial Palace!"
"Is the palace on fire?"
"I heard several explosions."
Talking about the fire, they were even more frightened.
Back then, a great fire mage named Li Mei set fire wantonly in Dongji City, burning down countless houses.
It was very hot in Dongji City that night.
The streets that night were full of familiar faces.
Now the fire in the palace has once again ignited the fear in their hearts, and that horrific scene has once again resurfaced in their minds.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Someone shouted.
But no one took action, because that was the imperial palace, the place with the strongest defense in the entire Dongji City.
There is no need for ordinary people like them to put out fires.
What they are thinking about now is to go home quickly and pack their things in case of any accidents.
"Don't put out the fire, go home and save yourself first!"
The people who were playing on the street suddenly dispersed and ran back to their homes.
The originally bustling streets suddenly became deserted, with only some garbage rolling around in the strong wind.
Inside the Tianji Palace.
The Emperor stood up from the throne and looked towards Dongdaemun.
"Has the attack begun?"
The ministers in the hall were already a little panicked at this time and were discussing non-stop.
"Report!!!"
An armored imperial guard quickly ran into the hall and knelt down to report:
"Your Majesty, the enemy has broken through the East Gate and entered the Imperial City. They are now heading towards the Tianji Palace. Your Majesty, please move to another place to hide!"
"What? How did they break through the East Gate so quickly?"
A minister stepped forward and grabbed the guard by the collar and shouted angrily:
"Are you lying about military intelligence and disrupting the morale of the troops?"
"Sir, I dare not do that. The thieves have really breached the East City Gate!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall became at a loss.
The opponent's fighting power was far beyond their imagination.
The Emperor of Sakura Country remained calm. He looked at the guards who came to report the news and said:
"How many of them came?"
The guard replied tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, there are... less than thirty people in total!"
"Less than thirty people, are you sure? How is that possible?"
"Thirty people want to break through the gate of my East City. Do you know the consequences of lying about military intelligence?"
Now the emperor could no longer sit still.
It was a huge joke that thirty people broke through the imperial city of their Sakura Country, which was known to have the strongest defense.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true!"
"The leading young man cut open the imperial city with just one sword. Our people didn't even have a chance to fight back in front of him."
"The leading boy?"
The Emperor was puzzled and asked, "Aren't the Qinghua Society and Shuiyue Society plotting a rebellion? How could this young man have such terrifying strength?"
Before the guard could answer, another guard quickly ran into the hall and reported loudly:
"Your Majesty, the thieves have breached the inner city's defenses and are heading for the Tianji Palace!"
"More than half of the guards and the Imperial Self-Defense Forces were killed or wounded, and they are no longer able to defend!"
"Your Majesty, please move somewhere else!"
Hearing this, the emperor turned pale, his legs went limp and he collapsed on the throne.
Too fast!
For the other party, it was as easy as strolling in a garden. The defense of the imperial city was like a joke in front of them.
"Your Majesty, please leave quickly! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"
At this time, the ministers in the hall were also panicked.
Didn't they say that the palace is the safest place with a large array of protection?
If I had known this earlier, I would have stayed at home and had a chance to escape.
If they don't leave now, they won't even have a chance to leave.
The emperor laughed miserably upon hearing this.
"Go? Where else can we go?"
"They won't let me go!"
