Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 283 - 185: That’s What I Call Professional!
At the moment the Divine Soul of the Sage of Time dissipated, the army of combat puppets surrounding the Imperial City seemed to receive some kind of order and began to charge towards the Imperial City expressionlessly.
The Defense Array of the Imperial City had long been activated.
Miaoyin stood at the center of the city wall, watching the expressionless combat puppets, her brow deeply furrowing. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
The Imperial City is the absolute core of the Great Xia Imperial Court; the emperor’s harem, the Imperial Clan Court, Xuanzhen Temple, and other true power centers of Great Xia are all within the Imperial City.
Therefore, the defense of the Imperial City is the most stringent in all of Great Xia.
As for the Defense Array, there are no less than five Gravity Arrays just to increase burden.
An ordinary blue brick thrown in would weigh as much as a mountain.
Other arrays include restrictions on flight, illusions, and lethal poisons.
When the Defense Array of the Imperial City was completed, the Imperial Clan Court had sent people to test it. For a Tier Nine Saint King Realm cultivator to survive within the array for an incense stick’s duration was considered to have deep cultivation.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Tier Nine Saint King Realm would die ten breaths after entering.
However, combat puppets are much more troublesome than the top experts of the Imperial Clan Court.
Standing on the city tower, Miaoyin could clearly see the expression of pain in the eyes of the combat puppets.
Especially when passing through the Gravity Array, Miaoyin could hear the sound of their bones being dislocated under extreme weight.
Even though they were in extreme pain, the combat puppets did not pause their steps for a moment.
"Truly a disgusting bunch!"
Miaoyin was not cursing these combat puppets, but rather the powerful families that crafted them and the hidden "Spirits" of the combat puppets.
"Prepare the Blazing Fire Array!"
Although Miaoyin sympathized with the plight of these combat puppets, she showed no mercy when commanding a counterattack.
She had seen combat puppets with Zhao Yi at Little Leiyin Temple before and understood their origin.
She knew that even though these combat puppets still had consciousness, they could not control their bodies, worse than living corpses, every moment alive was a torment of endless pain.
Therefore, only by destroying them could they truly be helped, granting them release.
As expected.
As Miaoyin’s words fell, gratitude appeared in the eyes of the combat puppets trapped within the array.
The scene was extremely contradictory.
Their eyes were filled with immense pain, yet their steps were unwavering.
It was as if they were split personalities.
It appeared extremely eerie!
Boom!
At this moment, the Blazing Fire Array was activated.
Huge fire dragons, each a hundred meters long, roared towards the combat puppets.
The combat puppets did not dodge or evade, like puppets on strings, they continued advancing towards the Imperial City with determination.
Soon, all the combat puppets were engulfed by a sea of fire.
Looking down from above, Miaoyin showed no trace of relief in her eyes.
She wouldn’t naively believe that a single Blazing Fire Array could resolve these combat puppets.
If they were so fragile, the "Spirits" of the combat puppets would have long returned to chaos.
Moreover, these combat puppets were all Tier Nine Saint King Realm.
Miaoyin had never heard of a Saint King Realm expert in the Cultivation Realm being burned to death!
Soon, as the fire oil of the Blazing Fire Array burned out.
As Miaoyin anticipated, when the thick smoke cleared, it revealed a group of young people, covered in gray ash and with tattered clothes.
Their eyes were in extreme pain, showing that the previous ordeal had indeed affected them.
However, their steps did not cease.
It was as if even a mountain of knives or a sea of fire could not hinder their resolve to complete their mission.
"Damn it!"
Miaoyin felt the same helplessness as Zuo Xiaoluo when facing the Skeleton Bone Dragon.
Faced with such fearless enemies, who were hard to defeat.
She didn’t have many options.
"Prepare for a head-on confrontation."
In the end, Miaoyin made the same decision as Zuo Xiaoluo.
Upon hearing the command, the sixth and seventh-tier cultivators from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court responded and drew their weapon to prepare for battle.
Like the City Guard Army, the eighth and ninth-tier Great Cultivators from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court had been reassigned by Zhao Yi.
All Miaoyin had at her disposal were a group of novices.
However, her situation was much better than Zuo Xiaoluo’s.
The Skeleton Bone Dragon was merely a pile of bones, invulnerable to blade and spear, impervious to water and fire.
If Zhao Yi hadn’t suddenly appeared and convinced the Purple Gold Divine Dragon to assist, the City Guard Army would have sustained massive casualties once the Bone Dragon engaged in close combat.
Even though these combat puppets also feared death, at least they still had human bodies.
Whether by burning or poisoning, they could be harmed.
Relying on the Defense Array of the Imperial City, Miaoyin could grind these combat puppets down to death.
It was merely a matter of spending a little more time.
At this moment.
A figure suddenly flickered in the void, and Zuo Xiaoluo appeared on the distant square of the Imperial City.
The square was not covered by the Defense Array of the Imperial City, and the combat puppets entrenched there had all rushed to the charge, making it the safest place instead.
Upon seeing Zuo Xiaoluo arrive, Miaoyin’s eyes lit up at once: "Grand General, have the enemies outside the city been dealt with?"
This was Zuo Xiaoluo’s first time seeing combat puppets.
She took one look at the fearless combat puppets, and her heart was filled with shock.
She briefly compared the combat puppets with the Undead Skeletons in her mind, and couldn’t immediately decide which was more revolting.
The people using offspring to forge combat puppets were inhuman, and the Undead Mages disturbing the dead’s peace defied human ethics.
All deserved to be dismembered for their vile crimes!
Hearing Miaoyin’s question, Zuo Xiaoluo returned to her senses, nodded, and said: "The Crown Prince intervened, and the crisis at the city gate has been resolved. This General arrived late to protect His Majesty and Her Majesty, are they unharmed?"
Zhao Yi made a move?
Miaoyin did not know that Zhao Yi had overplayed with fire and that the Little World was already precarious.
In her mind, Zhao Yi’s intervention meant the Little World was secure, providing her with relief.
Miaoyin stated solemnly: "Rest assured, Grand General, His Majesty and Her Majesty are unharmed!"
After saying this, she remembered something and continued with a serious tone: "An edict from the Empress, to the Grand General of the North."
Zuo Xiaoluo bowed: "I am present."
Miaoyin said: "The Empress’ decree: Xiaoluo, why haven’t you visited the palace recently? Are you quarreling with Little Liu? Understand that all the men of the Old Zhao Family are fools; they don’t understand reasoning. If they’re disobedient, just beat them up."
With those words, dead silence ensued inside and outside the Imperial City.
The cultivators from Xuanzhen Temple and the Imperial Clan Court on the city wall pretended to meditate, as if they heard nothing and saw nothing.
Even the combat puppets stopped in their tracks, which even the Blazing Fire Array couldn’t deter.
All the combat puppets cluelessly looked towards the Imperial Palace, a mechanical stiffness surprisingly mixed with a human-like bewilderment on their faces.
As if they couldn’t comprehend.
Really now.
They were in the middle of storming the city, almost at the walls of the Imperial City.
During such a time, shouldn’t the emperor and empress be terrified?
But what was this tone of advising the daughter-in-law on disciplining the son about?
They were in the middle of a rebellion.
Couldn’t the royal family give them some respect?
Upon hearing these words, Zuo Xiaoluo didn’t have time to think, and her body instinctively saluted in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
"Your humble servant accepts the order!"
And then she suddenly realized.
Uh-oh?
