As the lord of Storm City, he understood that he had to do everything within his power.

"I'll head to the city walls immediately to fend off the demons' assault. If you find this situation too perilous, feel free to retreat. You've already provided ample assistance. Asking you to stay in Storm City and fight with all your might would be too much. You've completed your quest and may return to the capital of the Empire."

Duke Arsena didn't expect Natasha to stay and defend Storm City with him, seeing the dire circumstances.

It was clear to him that they stood no chance against a Devil's onslaught with just the two of them.

In such a situation, Duke Arsena could only suggest that Natasha leave first, given her status as a guard general sent by the Northern Myst Empire.

She had the option to leave without any complications.

However, Natasha responded with a calm demeanor, "Do you think I'm the type to flee in the face of battle? Since I've come to Storm City, I must ensure its safety. Before coming here, I promised His Majesty the Emperor to secure Storm City's safety. The security of Storm City is crucial for the entire Northern Myst Empire!"

After her declaration, Natasha promptly made her way to the walls of Storm City.

With her resolve made clear, Duke Arsena wasted no more time either.

Together, they reached the city walls, where they could see hordes of demons from the Dark Faction emerging non-stop from a portal outside Storm City.

This time, the number of demons assaulting the city was even greater than before, as Flame Knight had dispatched all of his Servant Demons for this attack.

Flame Knight was determined to ensure the success of this assault.

By his side was Kingserp, the architect of this flawless plan.

Kingserp, gazing towards the city walls, spotted Duke Arsena and Natasha, two powerful figures from the Order Faction.

A slight smile crept onto his face, believing his plan had already succeeded.

"Great Lord of the Devils! As you can see, John is nowhere to be found on the city walls. This indicates that my plan has been successful. John is trapped in the Dark Realm, unable to thwart our assault on Storm City any longer! The city is yours for the taking!"

After Flame Knight used his Detection spell to observe the situation within Storm City and confirmed John's absence, he remained cautious.

He was well aware of John's formidable strength and the possibility that John might have concealed his presence.

Thus, Flame Knight responded to Kingserp, "It seems our plan has achieved some success so far. However, we must not let our guard down until we have full control of Storm City. Come with me to the city's center. Didn't you mention there's a control center for Storm City's most powerful defensive array in Duke Arsena's palace? I couldn't find it last time, but with your help, I should be able to locate it this time."

With Flame Knight's insistence, Kingserp wasted no time and directed him to the location of the control center for the strongest defensive array.

Flame Knight then teleported to the center of Storm City.

He chose not to enter Duke Arsena's palace directly, deducing that there were other defensive arrays surrounding the palace.

Instead, Flame Knight summoned two ordinary demons and sent them towards Duke Arsena's palace to test the defenses.

The two demons collided directly with the transparent Defend Wall outside Duke Arsena's palace and instantly turned to ash.

"It seems the people of the Order Faction are not as foolish as we thought. They've reinforced the defenses of Storm City's key structures upon their return. However, our plan this time cannot fail! I will immediately destroy the defenses of Duke Arsena's palace! Your task is to swiftly infiltrate the palace and locate the control center for the defensive array!"

Flame Knight's tone was very serious.

He preferred not to enter the palace directly, suspecting traps might be inside.

Thus, he tasked Kingserp with entering the palace, especially since the plan was Kingserp's idea, making him responsible for executing its most challenging part.

Without hesitation, Kingserp entered Duke Arsena's palace. Just as he did, Duke Arsena and Natasha arrived to intercept him.

As a Devil, Flame Knight naturally wouldn't allow them to hinder Kingserp's mission.

He summoned devil flames, creating an insurmountable wall of fire.

"If you wish to ensure your safety, you must leave immediately! If you choose not to, do not blame me for being ruthless!"

Flame Knight didn't launch an attack right away.

He believed he could intimidate Duke Arsena and Natasha into retreating without the need for violence, especially considering he thought their strength was negligible without John's assistance.

However, the subsequent actions of Duke Arsena and Natasha took Flame Knight by surprise.

Duke Arsena chose to attack Flame Knight directly, employing the Paladin's most powerful skill, Holy Light Duel.

The mighty power of Holy Light transformed into a dazzling beam, rushing towards Flame Knight at high speed.

Despite being unprepared, Flame Knight remained unscathed, his strength far surpassing that of Duke Arsena.

After Duke Arsena's attack failed, he wasn't particularly surprised.

He had known from the start that his attack was unlikely to succeed quickly.

He also anticipated Flame Knight's immediate counterattack, so he quickly moved to a safer distance.

Natasha didn't attack Flame Knight directly but instead supported Duke Arsena's actions by providing him with an additional defensive shield while he launched his attack.

Although the coordinated efforts of Duke Arsena and Natasha posed no threat to Flame Knight, they succeeded in infuriating him.

Flame Knight had a deep disdain for mortals who dared to attack him.

Choosing to escalate the situation, Flame Knight summoned several mid-tier demons to join him in swiftly eliminating Duke Arsena and Natasha. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯ℴ𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Faced with the onslaught of a Devil and mid-tier demons, Duke Arsena and Natasha found themselves in a grueling battle.

Similarly, the other Order Faction guards defending Storm City were also engaged in desperate combat.

The Order Faction guards were still far from their peak condition, as the aftermath of the Dark Faction's recent assault on Storm City lingered, with less than a week having passed since the turmoil unfolded.

The continuous attacks on Storm City not only surprised the NPCs within the city but also astonished the players.

They hadn't anticipated that Storm City, a main hub for players, would be attacked twice in such quick succession.

Furthermore, the nature of these attacks was particularly difficult to deal with, leading to a surge of discussions on the gaming forums about the situation in Storm City. freeweb(n)ovel

This time around, the likelihood of top-tier players rallying to Storm City's defense was slim, given the lingering discontent from the previous siege, where many felt the rewards did not match their contributions.

In the bewildering maze of their current predicament, Adam and Blue Sea felt utterly adrift, grappling with the situation's complexity.

Desperate for a guiding light, they reached out to John, hoping for his intervention.

However, in a twist that seemed all too familiar, their attempts to establish communication were thwarted, leaving them isolated once more in their hour of need.

Given the situation, Adam and Blue Sea had no choice but to rely on the members of their respective guilds to help resolve the crisis in Storm City.

However, among their guild members, only a few were players of significant strength.

The vast majority of their players were of medium or lower levels, which significantly limited their capacity to contribute effectively to the defense of the city against such formidable foes as a Devil and mid-tier demons.
