Chapter 399: Lightning Storm
"That is Madam Charoline!"
"Yes!"
"Uooohhhh!"
The soldiers guarding the walls cheered loudly. They truly saw her as the one who could stabilize the battlefield. Although they continued to lose territory but without her presence, their losses would have been much greater. She could fight on par with a low Emperor-stage warrior, even though she was "only" at the peak King stage.
With her arrival, they could at least breathe a sigh of relief—Su Long no longer had to sacrifice himself to hold off Vasco. Now, they could fight without the fear of their higher-ups being slaughtered by an Emperor-stage cultivator like Vasco.
With their renewed spirit, the troops of Weilmar City turned to face the advancing enemy army, which moved swiftly while maintaining its battle formation. They knew that in mere seconds, their forces would clash, and they were ready. Each soldier had already begun circulating their energy, preparing to unleash their techniques the moment the battle commenced.
While the morale of the ground troops soared, high above the battlefield, Vasco and his King-stage subordinates were filled with confusion. How was Baroness Weilmar here when she was supposed to be in Caritas, facing a massive force from their faction? Had she escaped from Caritas and returned?
He suppressed his confusion and grinned at her. No matter the reason, it was already futile. Even if she had come back now, the city walls had already been breached, the city’s barrier could not be activated because his spy had killed the formation operators, and his troops were advancing rapidly. There was no way she or her forces could withstand the might of his army.
"You’re here? I thought you had already died in Caritas. But this is fortunate for me. If you had simply perished there, it would have been a shame. It would be better if you became my woman after this, a woman of your caliber is rare, and it would be a pity for our empire to lose you," Vasco said, his lustful gaze lingering on Baroness Weilmar, making no effort to hide his desires.
"I can’t wait to make you scream in ecstasy beneath me."
Rage burned inside Su Long’s heart, and he was about to dash toward Vasco.
