"Report, a large number of Demon Beasts have been detected within the Secret Realm, charging towards the borders of our Baoxue Empire. They will reach our first line of defense in twenty-seven minutes!"

"General, the Land of Light has suddenly launched a military assault... ah..."

Before the words could be finished.

Roaring artillery fire, mixed with endless falling flames, descended on the borders of the Baoxue Empire.

Caught off guard, the border army of the Baoxue Empire suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time.

Thousands of mecha troops from the Great Xia Empire, moving at speeds rivaling fighter jets, invaded the borders of the Baoxue Empire.

Even before their arrival...

The High Energy Shooters in their hands had already intertwined into a crisscrossing, impenetrable web of firepower...

One party prepared, the other caught unprepared.

In just a moment...

The defense line of the Baoxue Empire was ripped open with a massive breach.

These mechas charged straight into the borders of the Baoxue Empire...

"Kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Qisha Legion from the Secret Realm seemed to charge the slowest... but in fact, when they reached a certain range.

Each took out their pre-prepared Transformation Capsules.

The powerful weapons appeared all around them.

Some activated their Iron Blood Armor to stealthily infiltrate the enemy base and massacre within.

While others camped on the border periphery, extracting those extremely cumbersome yet tremendously powerful weapons from the capsules, and unleashed scorching firepower over the borders of the Baoxue Empire.

The three forces attacked simultaneously... 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

In less than three hours, the once impregnable defense line of the Baoxue border was torn to shreds.

"What? The defense line broke?!"

The new king of the Baoxue Empire, Laine, stood up suddenly, his face full of panic, exclaiming: "How... wasn’t the defense line very stable? Didn’t we deploy many warriors to defend against the Secret Realm assault? Why did it suddenly break? This is impossible!"

"The Land of Light and Great Xia jointly dispatched troops, forming a three-pronged military force together with the Secret Realm, pressing in simultaneously. No matter how solid the Baoxue Empire’s border defense is, it can’t resist the might of three forces converging!"

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to question why the defense line was easily breached by the enemy. We must respond immediately."

"That’s right, with the Secret Realm and the two empires’ armies already here, they might have already colluded. If we don’t respond properly, our Baoxue Empire is in peril!"

"Your Majesty, I request permission to lead a million troops to keep the two empires and those beasts at bay!"

"Your Majesty, the Secret Realm’s power is no less than that of the Three Great Empires. With the current three-way confrontation, the Baoxue Empire alone cannot withstand it. It might be better to negotiate and ask them what they sought by mobilizing their forces this time!"

"Surrendering before even fighting?"

"Knowing we will lose and still fighting?"

.........

Laine looked at the many civil and military officials below, who quickly erupted into a dispute.

These officials were just in the palace for official business and rushed over as soon as they heard the news of the attack.

But their differing opinions only made Laine even more unsure of whose advice to follow.

Instinctively he shouted: "Quick, go summon Regent King Uther!"

At this moment.

A palace attendant hurried over, carrying a tone of weeping, exclaiming: "Your Majesty, bad news, Lord Uther was ambushed and assassinated, he’s already dead."

"What?!"

At this most critical moment, losing the pillar of wisdom suddenly, Laine’s face turned deathly pale!

He powerlessly collapsed into his seat...

But the bad news kept coming one after another.

"Your Majesty, it’s not good."

Another guard rushed in, exclaiming: "A few assassins are rampaging within our Baofeng City, targeting the nobles. So far, over a hundred nobles have been attacked!"

"What?!"

Laine was once again shocked to his feet.

This time, even the officials showed panic on their faces.

Nobles?

What nobles?

Aren’t they referring to these dignitaries themselves?

Only then did everyone realize that the officials who rushed over for this emergency were fewer than half of the usual number...

Previously, they thought it was because the situation erupted too suddenly to react.

But so much time has passed, even those who didn’t react before, should have realized the situation by now.

Yet, they still haven’t shown up... likely already slain by the enemy.

"Inside and out in collusion!"

Tulayang’s eyes showed a grave expression, exclaiming: "It seems the enemy’s plot is enormous, not only attacking our borders but also harboring the intent to destroy our Baoxue Empire! I didn’t expect even Lord Uther couldn’t escape the enemy’s scheme... wait... could it be those Creation Realm Grandmasters?!"

"You mean those Creation Realm powerhouses invited by Lord Uther from the two countries?!"

Laine’s face showed terror.

If that’s the case...

Within Baofeng City’s boundaries, aren’t there likely seven or eight Creation Realm Grandmasters causing turmoil?!

He urgently asked: "Lord Tulayang, what should we do?"

But Tulayang didn’t respond to him, just showed a grave expression, with chaotic thoughts racing, yet one thread stayed clear.

The three nations strike from the periphery.

Inside, there are top experts running rampant, an internal and external pincer, the Baoxue Empire’s top warriors are already lost... but even if they weren’t, they might not change the overall situation anyway.

Yet, having killed Lord Uther, they could have proceeded to slay the Emperor and the entire decision-making core within the Imperial City.
