Imperial City, inside the palace.
When Lockett led his troops to block the palace gates, Capeline led the Broken Blade Knights and charged towards the king's hall. The entire palace seemed to be in complete turmoil, and became noisy.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Many of the knights and the private troops of the nobles that were guarding the palace seemed to have been transferred to the palace to guard. When they saw Capeline leading the Broken Blade Knights to the king's hall, they immediately panicked and rushed forward to stop her.
"Get out of the way!"
Capeline did not restrain her temper anymore. She seemed to have made up her mind to settle things today. Even if she was facing the empire's knights and the private troops of the nobles, she did not hesitate to stay. The blade of the knight's sword was covered with dark red magic, and she mercilessly slashed at the enemies in front of her.
That slash was as fast as lightning. It was Capeline's most adept high-level sword skill — [Flash Sword].
This sword skill, which abandoned defense and raised attack and speed to the limit, was once again unleashed in Capeline's hands.
"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!" …
Along with the sound of tearing, the knights' armors and flesh were broken by the lightning-fast slash. They fell to the ground with blood-curdling screams and splattering blood.
Thus, Capeline decisively killed the enemies blocking the way and led the charge.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Under Capeline's lead, the female knights of the Broken Blade Knights immediately displayed a ferocious aura. They faced the oncoming knights without fear.
The slaughter officially began in the palace, and the smell of blood began to pervade the air.
If one looked down from the top of the palace, they would see that countless knights and the private troops of the nobles had been alarmed and had begun to surround them.
It was like a group of ants gathering at lightning speed, and it looked exceptionally eye-catching.
The Broken Blade Knights led by Capeline were like a sharp knife. While they were surrounded, they forcefully broke through the obstacles in front of them, breaking the encirclement, and continued to charge towards the king's hall.
It had to be said that Capeline was indeed very powerful. Even though she had lost the imitation holy sword, her strength was not something that ordinary knights could compare to.
Even though she was only level 70, with her talent and potential being the number one in the empire, the growth brought by a level increase was obviously far greater than others. The number of Skill Points was definitely not small, resulting in the high levels of the skills she learned. In terms of overall strength, she was probably not inferior to those experts above level 80.
As for experts above Level 80, it was naturally very difficult for them to appear in ordinary Knight Orders and private troops.
In the empire, experts of this level would either join the imperial knights and hold an important position, or they would be the top experts of a clan. It was impossible for them to appear here so casually.
Thus, Capeline did not even use her unique skills. Her entire person seemed to have transformed into a true Valkyrie. Anyone who stood in front of her would immediately be cut down by her lightning-fast slash. Other than contributing more blood to this land, there was nothing else she could do.
Therefore, Capeline did not even use her unique skills. She seemed to have transformed into a real Valkyrie. Anyone who stood in front of her would immediately be slashed to the ground by a lightning-fast slash. Other than contributing more blood to this land, there was nothing else she could do.
The periphery of this formation was made up of warriors who had been cast with support-type magic to enhance their physical abilities. They firmly blocked the attacks from all directions and blocked the people who were surrounding them.
Inside the formation were female knights who were chanting various kinds of magic. Some of them cast defensive magic to block the incoming arrows and magic, while others cast support-type magic. With all kinds of support, the Broken Blade Knights were invincible and suppressed the current situation.
It could be seen that these female knights were holding back their anger and were venting it out.
After all, a while ago, they were still locked in the underground prison without even a piece of clothing to cover their bodies. It could be said that they had suffered extreme humiliation. Now that they finally had the chance to take revenge, these female knights would definitely not hold back. The murderous look on their faces was even thicker than Capeline's.
Under such circumstances, Tierre lowered her body and ran to the side like a gust of black wind. While fluttering her black robe, she waved the sharp blades in her hands. The blades were also enchanted with dark red magic power. In a flash, countless lines of blood were drawn, causing the people surrounding them to fall to the ground, unable to get up again.
Just like that, the group of people charged and broke through the encirclement. Finally, they were met with a real expert's sniper.
"Stop, Your Highness."
"You have committed a crime that you should not have committed."
"Committing such violence in the palace, we cannot sit back and watch."
"Please stop."
Several aggressive experts with great pressure blocked in front of the group of people.
Some of them were armored knights, some were mages wearing magic robes, some were holding swords, some were holding magic staffs, and some were even carrying heavy hammers, spears, and other weapons. Those weapons and equipment were also rippling with astonishing magical waves, telling others that they were all magic weapons that were expensive to build.
Capeline's face sank.
She knew that these obstacles in front of her were the high-level knights in the Imperial Knight Legion who had chosen to support Mara or Saliro, or the highest combat power of the various noble families.
Some of them were even the heads of noble families, and some were the highest level seven adventurers in the Adventurers Guild. It could be said that none of them were easy to deal with.
Now, all of them had appeared together. The lowest level was probably above 80, and the highest was even 89. They were only one step away from the Legendary-level. The obstacles they posed were definitely not to be trifled with.
Even she, who had lost the imitation holy sword, might not have a chance of winning against any of them.
However, Capeline didn't stop.
Not only Capeline, but all the members of the Broken Blade Knight Legion, including Tierre, didn't choose to stop. Instead, they rushed forward without hesitation.
This caused the experts to feel shocked and angry at the same time.
"In that case, we won't hold back!"
"Her Highness asked for it!"
"Let us stop you!"
"Stop!"
The experts above level 80 released their amazing magic power one by one.
But …
"[Surrender – Confine]."
Along with that abrupt voice, torrential Mana suddenly surged and enveloped the experts from the various families and major forces. Not only did it completely suppress their Mana, but it also acted like a sturdy lock that sealed the Mana within their bodies, preventing them from releasing it.
"What …!?"
"Oh no …!"
"Who …!?"
The expressions of the Level 80 and above experts changed drastically.
However, they were answered by a new spell.
"[Surrender – Slumber]."
An obscure magic power took effect, and like an invisible hypnotic spell, it reverberated in the minds of the experts.
The experts' voices came to an abrupt halt.
Drowsiness crept into their minds, and they couldn't help but feel a strong sense of drowsiness.
"This is …"
"How could …"
"How could it be …?"
The experts let out sounds of disbelief.
As experts who were close to the Legendary-realm, some of them also had very high-level defensive skills, and some were also equipped with high-level magical tools to protect themselves. Once they were attacked, the tools would immediately activate on their own.
But now, these skills and magic tools either couldn't resist this extremely powerful spell or couldn't even be activated.
With the effect of 'Confine', their magic power was sealed in their bodies, which naturally caused their resistance to drop by several levels.
Thus, the group of experts above level 80 all fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
From the looks of it, they might not wake up for a while.
Such a scene made Capeline and the others feel suffocated, and waves of emotions surged in their hearts.
They knew exactly who the person who had attacked them was.
They also knew that with that person's strength, this group of level-80 experts wouldn't be much of a hindrance to him.
That was why they dared to charge forward unscrupulously, ignoring the obstruction of these experts.
But they really didn't expect that the opponent could make these experts above level 80 fall so easily without any resistance.
"He really has become much stronger than before."
Tierre's eyes flickered.
Capeline was silent.
Shien's existence made her feel some pressure.
In the past, she had always regarded Rosie as an opponent, and she thought that in the entire human race, except for Rosie, no one of her peers could be compared to her.
However, Sean's appearance told Capeline that there was always someone better than her in the world.
Not only did that man mercilessly defeat her in Kosmos, but he had also become stronger than before.
On the other hand, she had lost the imitation holy sword, and her strength had declined instead of rising.
Now, she was the one who couldn't be compared to him, wasn't she?
Thinking of this, Capeline's heart suddenly felt suffocated.
Of course, now was not the time to think about this.
(When the dust settles, I must train again and challenge him again.)
Capeline's fighting spirit was ignited in her heart, and she regarded Shien as a strong enemy on the same level as Rosie, or even above her.
Shien still didn't know that he had been targeted by a princess with strong self-esteem.
He just casually put down a group of "overconfident tigers" blocking his way, and like an illusory Grim Reaper, he appeared and disappeared in a flash, teleporting in the direction of the king's hall.
The so-called experts on the ground didn't attract his attention at all.
Just like that, the group arrived at the king's hall.
And they rushed in.
