Stray

There was a loud bang.

Immediately afterwards, there was an endless harsh noise, accompanied by a tooth-souring sound, as the city gate hit the ground firmly.

Everything happened so suddenly that the royal army in the city couldn’t even react. The scouts on the city wall didn’t find any signs of the army approaching, but the sturdy city gate was destroyed in an instant.

The archers aimed at the rising smoke and dust, the shield bearers erected huge shields, and the mages in the back row were ready to throw spells. The soldiers clenched their swords in their hands, just waiting for the inexplicable intruder to reveal his figure.

But the first thing that appeared in the smoke and dust was not a figure, but a huge emblem. The soldiers were very familiar with the emblem—The emperor would use this spell as the opening at every large-scale event.

Royal Edict.

The esoteric spells of the Alban royal family were mainly used to dominate the lower-level clergy of the Laddism Church. In peacetime, the royal family that has been granted a certain amount of power was also happy to use it to show their identity. At present, looking at the entire Alban, there was only two people who was still qualified to use this spell— Except for Princess Delia, who wasn’t qualified to study because she was a minor. It stood to reason that only emperors and princes would use this spell.

And although the special pressure from it was not quite the same as what they had felt before, the overall aura didn’t seem to be forged.

This was impossible.
