In the city of Faruzanlia, the capital of the Rekalt Empire, the public security in the city was a little turbulent and the city defense guards were also dispatched many times.

Obviously, by today, many ordinary people must have learned some rumor from various channels to a greater or lesser extent, knowing that the world will soon usher in a major reshuffle, and knowing that the top leaders of the empire will leave the capital soon and go to a place with uncertain future. So, some guys with ideas began to become active.

But unfortunately, under the strong suppression of Emperor Barnhardt and the four commanders of the army, those ill-hearted ambitionists, together with their forces, were quickly uprooted. Then, today, the entire imperial capital city became calm again.

The night was just right. From the windowsill of the palace castle in Farozanlia, the bustling imperial capital was still as prosperous as before. The pedestrians in the night market came and went, bustling and bustling.

In addition to ordinary citizens and business travelers, the Imperial Knights holding torches or magic lighting tools were also marching quickly in dedicated passages, closely monitoring every dark corner of the city, preventing those little ones from coming out to take the opportunity to make trouble again.

“…”

However, no matter how good the night was, Barnhart was not in the mood to see it, because at this moment, he was standing in front of the window, silently looking at the magic sword Aruhasatto in his hand, and didn't know what he was thinking.

“…”

As he looked at it, he raised his head blankly and looked at the bustling imperial capital outside the window.

Once upon a time, Barnhart always thought that as long as he obtained this magic sword, he could obtain the absolute power to unify the entire continent and bring peace and hope to everyone?

But now, he found out that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

No matter how powerful the magic sword is, the external object is an external object after all. In the face of absolute power, what can he do even if he obtains ten magic swords?

After thinking about it, Barnhardt subconsciously looked into a certain direction in the night sky. Although there was nothing there and nothing could be seen, he still looked around for a while before slowly retracting his gaze.

That floating island...

That is the Azeroth Empire. It is said that just the orc tribe in it, this time, it can send millions of powerful warriors to their world. What if he has this magic sword?

Although, the orcs and millions of warriors were all just what Egerbert said, and he had never really seen Barnhart himself, but he did not doubt the words of his cautious old partner.

So, the current situation in their empire is: if you want to resist, you will definitely not be able to fight in war and you cannot fight, because it has no effect except for sacrificing the lives of the soldiers in vain!

It is precisely because of this that he made the final decision to personally take the four generals of the Empire to the Floating Island.

In addition to the last trace of stubbornness in his heart, he also had to see with his own eyes whether the floating island and the Azeroth Empire were really that powerful, and could it really allow all ethnic groups to live in peace after the unified continent and bring true peace and new hope to the world?

If so, maybe he will hand over his power and country peacefully at that time?

After all, he was struggling from an ordinary soldier to the position of the emperor, and was used to too much blood and power struggles. If there was really a force he was willing to believe or worthy of his belief and could better replace him, it might be a good choice?

Besides, he has no good ideas now. The development of things has long been no longer based on his wishes, and he has no choice...

"snort!"

After a while, he snorted in annoyance, and then Bahaent turned around and walked to his throne, and slowly sat on his emperor throne with his magic sword, and began to close his eyes and ponder.

The day after tomorrow, he and Leon and the others were about to set off to the floating island where he hated, feared and curious.

At that time, the best situation is that he can still return here and be a little lord here, living the carefree life of a wealthy man with his queen and a group of old friends.

And the worst case scenario is that you will never come back...

So, his decision and actions this time will definitely be very dangerous!

But there was no way, he had to go!

After all, there is still a trace of hope when he goes, and if he doesn't go, it will completely throw away that trace of hope. Barnhart is not the group of idiots in Kalsas City, so he naturally knows how to make the best choice.

...

“Hmm?”

“Egbelt?”

At this time, I don’t know how long it took, Barnhardt, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up strangely at the old friend who was walking towards the Throne Hall step by step.

"It's so late, aren't you still resting?"

“Or…”

"You can't sleep like me?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Barnhardt joked and said as if he was self-deprecating.

In his opinion, it is normal for the other party to not be able to sleep. Anyway, Barnhart himself will definitely not be able to sleep, otherwise he would not have been sitting here alone at night thinking about things.

"His Majesty!"

"Just just received the news that a terrifying huge explosion occurred south of the Grand Temple of Esdrew!"

"And the explosion site, all the forests within a radius of more than ten miles were destroyed."

Egbelt was not long-winded. After approaching the throne, he directly reported on his coming here at night.

“!!”

"What did you say?"

"Explosion? More than ten miles in a radius?"

Barnhard was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that it would be at this critical moment, and something important that Egerbelt would come to him in person in the middle of the night and report it in person.

"etc!"

"You mean..."

“To the south of the Grand Temple of Esdrew?”

Frowning and thinking for a while, Barnhardt stood up from the throne, and carried his magic sword that he was reluctant to let go of his sleep and walked quickly to the huge mural next to the hall carved with the map of the continental Alusalia.

"That Great Temple of Light, south..."

"It's here!"

"That's right?"

Soon, Barnhardt first found the reference place on the map, and then extended the magic sword in his hand south and pointed to a rough location.

"It's here!"

"It's a little further north!"

“It’s not far from this lake.”

Egerbert didn't say much, but just followed him and corrected some of Barnhart's mistakes at the end.

"But here, it's not our leader..."

"oh!"

"I remember that this is now the territory of our empire. It originally belonged to Sarrath, but it was defeated by us some time ago."

"Then, you said you would leave it to the Temple of Light to manage it, right?"

As he spoke, Barnhart grinned himself with a rare opportunity.

Previously, in order to capture the Witch of Light, the relationship between their empire and the Lucilis Cult was very stiff. Therefore, in order to ease the relationship between the two parties, Egbelt proposed to directly transfer the deserted mountain range they occupied to the Great Temple of Light, and let the Lucilis Cult take charge of it. Then the matter of their empire's attack on the Temple of the Temple was considered incomplete.

"but……"

"You just said... it's over a radius of ten miles and it's blown into a flat ground. Are you sure you're not wrong?"

After laughing, Barnhard turned his head and frowned and asked in confusion.

He obviously knew what kind of terrifying power it would take to blow up a dozen miles in an instant, and that would be enough to destroy all his imperial capital, Faruzanlia, his palace fortress and surrounding areas in an instant!

With such power, even the legion-level taboo magic released by the magicians of the Empire's Black Dragon Magician Legion, such as those with great earthquakes or meteorites, is afraid that it will not be possible to reach that level of destructive power.

"Yes!"

"And your Majesty, that power is even more terrifying than I said?"

"Just now!"

"We have rushed to reconnaissance overnight in the nearby Imperial Griffon Knights. At the explosion site, a large pit hundreds of meters deep was blown out of the ground, and the ground here was directly burned into a glass-like shape!"

"besides……"

"The forests and vegetation in the nearly twenty miles of surrounding areas were burned, and the ground became sandy, the rivers were dried up, and there were raging magic turbulence everywhere!"

"That land is dying little by little now..."

Egbelt said quietly, and added the situation at the scene bit by bit.

Although he did not go there in person, he saw the tragic image through detecting magic and the Wizard's Eye. The situation was roughly consistent with the situation of the griffin knights' on-site observations, and even the situation in some places was even worse.

“!!”

“Who did it?”

Finally, Barnhardt knew the seriousness of the matter and asked with a stern face.

"have no idea!"

"But your Majesty, in the nearby Imperial Outpost, many imperial soldiers saw it, they all said, and only saw a white light shooting from the sky, and then an explosion occurred, and the huge orange-red fireball reflected the sky red, and even people far away in Elis City saw it."

Egerbelt frowned and stated with some fear.

Because, as far as he knows, a level of magic is considered magic? In short, even his teacher, the great magician Jessica, would never be used at his peak, so this is the real reason why he came to report to their Emperor.

"A white light..."

"Fallen from the sky?"

Barnhardt looked back at the map on the wall and began to think about it.

"But!"

"Egbelt, I remember that there seemed to be no villages or towns in that place, right?"

"Why do anyone bombarding there with that level of magic?"

"etc!"

"you say……"

At this time, Barnhardt seemed to suddenly think of something, then he quickly stopped talking, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and asked:

"Will it be..."

"Was that floating island made by the people from the Azeroth Empire?"

"So, they chose that place where there was no one, and then demonstrated to us or people in our world?"

The more Barnhard said, the more he felt it was reasonable, and at the same time, his face became even more ugly.

If the explosion was really done by those people from the Azeroth Empire, they would have no choice except to go to the Floating Island to attend the conference and accept all the reasonable and unreasonable conditions of the other party.

Although their empire has decided to go, there is still a huge difference between taking the initiative and being threatened by the other party with terrifying weapons.

"It shouldn't be."

"Your Majesty, look!"

However, Egbelt shook his head and reached out to gesture on the map of the continental Elusalia on the wall.

"The floating island is located here, over the Rock Peak Valley Mountains, it has never moved."

"And that white light..."

"According to the description of the outpost soldiers, it seemed to have shot from the sky to the ground, and its location is very different from the area where the floating island is located, and it is not in the same direction or angle at all!"

As if he was afraid that the emperor would not understand, Egbelt thought about it and used the magic of light and shadow to create a white light to shine on the blown area.

“!!”

"You mean..."

"It's not what the floating island did?"

Barnhart was stunned. He didn't understand. If it weren't for the people on that island, who else would have such a terrifying power in this world?

"I'm not sure."

Egerbelt shook his head.

Unfortunately, the imperial capital is too far away from that place. Otherwise, if he could see it with his own eyes, he would have been able to guess more things, rather than being as suspicious as he is now.

“…”

Barnhart stopped talking.

He just turned around slowly with a heavy expression, and frowned tightly at the map engraved on the wall, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“!!”

"Who is it?!"

Suddenly, Egbelt angrily scolded.

Then, just as he took out his own delicate short magic wand and was about to cast a spell, a teleported magic light flashed, and soon, a monster wearing brown armor and black cloak appeared in front of them.

“!!”

"There are assassins!!"

"Protect Your Majesty!!!"

At the same time, around the Throne Hall, a large group of imperial guards snatched out in time and pointed the ice-blue sharp blade in their hands, which was obviously a spear attached to the demon, at the guy who was rashly invading.

“!!”

"Is it Bozanru?"

"snort!"

"You rude guy, I should have cancelled your teleportation permission soon!"

After seeing the person clearly, Egbelt relaxed a little and shouted angrily.

"You guys retreat first!"

Seeing that it was the demonic Pozanlu, Emperor Barnhard also frowned and relaxed, and waved his hand to repel the conscientious imperial royal guards.

Barnhardt was obviously very familiar with the Pozanlu and knew the other party's approximate ability. Now, with him and Egbelt here, the other party would definitely be on the spot in the next second, so there was no need to be too nervous.

"Tell me!"

"Bozanru, are you doing something?"

Then, Barnhart asked, of course, very bluntly

Because, after the floating island appeared and issued an ultimatum, their empire and the demons had basically nothing to cooperate with. Now that the other party came here alone late at night, I guess something important must be there?

"certainly!"

"Your Majesty, this time I came to retrieve the magic sword."

First, he looked at Egbelt with dissatisfaction, and then Bozanlu said slowly in that smile-like tone.

"Demon, Demon Sword?"

“!!”

"Do you want to die?!"

When Barnhart's face changed on the spot when he heard the other party dare to say those rude and ignorant words in front of him, and while holding the magic sword tightly, the power on his body began to surge wildly.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Seeing this, the guards who had just stepped down surrounded him again. While protecting the emperor and Egbelt, they also pointed countless bright spear tips at the invader who was tired of living.

"snort!"

"Bozanlu, you're too arrogant."

"Do you think you can get it?"

Meanwhile, Egbelt began to clench the short wand in his hand again and began to prepare for some kind of anti-magic magic.

"etc!"

However, seeing the behavior of Barnhardt and Egbelt and seeing that he was surrounded by heavy troops, Bozanlu was not afraid, nor did he really want to take action to rob.

"Are you..."

"I don't want to know what happened to the big explosion south of the Grand Temple of Esdrew that you were discussing just now?"

He just smiled grimly and raised his head with a strange expression, looking at the slightly surprised Emperor Barnhardt and Egbelt said this.
