"It's starting."
On the spacious and majestic city wall, Adil squinted his eyes and looked into the distance as he spoke faintly.
Outside the city wall, a black demonic enchantment had been set up. Within it, a large number of demonic beasts were madly charging forward, shrouded in the unique black aura of the underground creatures. The Dark Elves behind them continued to charge towards the city wall.
But in reality, these demonic beasts weren't much of a threat.
The huge city wall standing on the outskirts of the city was the first obstacle. With the demonic beasts' chaotic march, climbing the city wall was a huge problem, not to mention causing any damage to the guards on the city wall.
The only purpose of these demonic beasts attacking the city was to consume the power of the defensive magic circle and pile a large amount of debris or their own corpses under the city wall.
As time passed, the debris piled under the city wall would get thicker and thicker until it was as high as the city wall. That was when the slave army would take the field.
This process lasted for half a month.
Standing on the city wall, Adil watched the Dark Elves attack the city outside the city wall, but he didn't react at all.
This battle might be difficult for others, and they might not even be certain that they could win, including Kasi Wang and Kular.
But for Adil, the outcome of this battle was already decided from the beginning if there weren't too many surprises.
If it was just Kular, it would be fine. But now Adil had reached the peak of Level 3. His strength was the best in the entire battlefield. There was no one who could match him.
This strength was the best guarantee. If he took the initiative to clash with the entire Dark Elf Kingdom, he might not necessarily win. But if it was just to defend this city, there was absolutely no problem.
What's more, apart from his own strength, he also had the Moon King's Sword.
Although Adil hadn't actively used the Moon King's Sword after the Bloodline Trial, the truth was that no one could ignore the power of this demonic weapon.
With the strength of a peak Level 3, Adil could even fight against a true Level 4, let alone these people in front of him.
In fact, the reason why he hadn't made a move until now was because he was waiting for the Dark Elves to make their move and expose their arrangements.
"I really didn't expect the outcome to turn out like this."
Standing on the city wall, Adil heard footsteps coming from behind him, as well as a faintly discernible heavy breathing.
Behind Adil, a handsome elf in armor walked out from behind Adil with a pale silver elven sword hanging on his waist.
Behind this elf were a few elves in priest robes, some of whom were Adil's acquaintances.
"Your Highness Adil …" A light voice rang out in the surroundings, and the voice sounded very gentle.
"Krudo …" Adil turned around and looked at the handsome young man behind him with a complicated expression, "Why is it you?"
Standing in front of Adil, Krudo was somewhat silent, but he still said, "I'm very sorry, I have my reasons."
Krudo was a very famous name in the Silver Mist Forest, and he had an extremely high status in the hearts of the Silver Mist Elves.
He was the eldest son of King Kasi and the most favored successor to the original throne. It was just that because his mother's birth was too low and King Kasi did not like him, the right to inherit the throne fell to him.
In the past few years, Adil had interacted with him, and he greatly admired his character and talent.
"With your personality, even if you were stripped of your inheritance, you wouldn't have to do this."
Looking at Krudo, Adil said softly, "Did someone force you?"
"Don't say anymore." Krudo seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became cold, "Adil, surrender.
"I know that your strength is far greater than what you see on the surface, but in your current state, how much strength do you have left?
"Water from the deep spring is not that tasty. Even if you're close to a Rank 3 Sorcerer, if you drink this, you'll lose most of your strength.
As he spoke, Adil's expression did not change, and he looked towards Krudo's side.
Beside Krudo, there was a young girl wearing green clothes standing there nervously. Facing Adil's gaze, she silently lowered her head.
This was Isis, and just like Krudo, she was one of the few people Adil was close to in the Silver Mist Forest.
During the half a year in Triumphant Wind City, Isis had always been by Adil's side and helped him with various matters. As a result, she had gained Adil's trust and was responsible for taking care of Adil's daily needs.
Looking at the situation, it was evident that it was not just Krudo, but even Isis had long since defected, which was why she had been able to stealthily put food mixed with potions in front of Adil.
Seeing Isis lower her head in shame, Adil shifted his gaze and looked at the people beside Krudo.
Out of the eight people, apart from Krudo and Isis, Adil knew a few of them, and he had never thought that they would meet like this.
"Even though it's already come to this, I still want to ask."
After lightly sighing and looking at Krudo, Adil asked, "Why did you do this?"
Facing this question, Krudo remained silent and did not directly reply.
Instead, Isis spoke, "The High Priest promised that as long as we surrendered and gave you away, he would spare the countless Elven commoners behind the city …"
"Just for this?" Hearing this reply, Adil was quite surprised.
He had thought about why Krudo, Isis, and the others had betrayed the Silver Mist Court. Perhaps it was for power or power, but this was the only reason that he had not thought of.
For the safety of the commoners, they had taken the initiative to offer up their forces. This kind of action gave Adil a sense of deja vu.
"You don't understand!"
As if she could tell what Adil was thinking, Isis's face became pale, and her eyes were filled with despair, "You don't understand just how terrifying those underground creatures are.
"That's an absolutely terrifying power. With our strength, we can't block it at all!"
"Because you can't stop them, you chose to surrender?" a voice suddenly sounded out in the distance.
At that moment, Krudo's body trembled, and his eyes widened as he looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, there was a middle-aged Elf wearing silver robes and giving off a dignified aura. The magic power ripples around his body were enough to shake people's hearts.
He stood there like a tall mountain, looking at Krudo with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Father …"
Looking at this figure, Krudo remained silent for a long time before speaking with a bitter tone.
"You're still the same as before." Looking at Krudo, Kasi Wang berated, "You're as weak as your mother and don't have any courage or responsibility!"
"I …" Facing Kasi Wang, Krudo felt somewhat pained. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say anything.
However, by now, he did not have time to say anything.
Because in front of them, a terrifying power was already pressing down. It transformed into a giant silver hand in mid-air and suddenly slammed down towards them.
Bang!
The berserk power exploded out, creating many craters on the city walls.
In just an instant, Krudo and the others coughed up a mouthful of blood as their bodies were invaded by countless energy particles, corroding their magic power and causing them immense pain.
"Fight back!"
Kasi Wang's voice sounded out. Standing beside Krudo, he looked at his son on the ground in anger, "If you have the ability to betray, why don't you have the ability to fight back?!"
As he spoke, a silver light smashed down towards Krudo's head.
"Your Highness!" Seeing this, Isis cried out and instinctively wanted to go up and help. However, her magic power had been completely suppressed, and no matter how much she tried, she could not cast a single spell.
She watched as Kasi Wang's hand descended, and the silver light smashed down, bringing with it massive magic power ripples.
This was Kasi Wang's attack filled with rage, and he did not hold back at all. He exploded with power that was close to the limit of a rank 2 Sorcerer. Let alone a mere Krudo, even a true rank 2 Sorcerer would not be able to block this attack and would be instantly killed.
However, in the end, this attack did not completely descend.
At the last moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and grabbed Kasi Wang's hand just as the silver light was about to hit Krudo.
Feeling the immense power from his arm and the terrifying might of the bloodline, Kasi Wang's pupils constricted and he instinctively looked to the side.
Beside him, Adil stood there in Silence, looking quite calm. He had grabbed Kasi Wang's wrist and had blocked this attack at the crucial moment.
"Adil."
Looking at Adil beside him, Kasi Wang sighed softly and glanced at the child on the ground. In the end, he let go of his hand.
In actuality, he had not planned on killing Krudo. After all, Krudo was his own child, and even if he did not like his personality, he still had feelings for him.
The reason why he had been so heavy-handed was because he had attacked out of anger and to show Adil.
Now that his anger had subsided and Adil had taken the initiative to stop him, he had no reason to continue attacking.
"Edith, she's fine."
Looking at Krudo on the ground, Kasi Wang said, "Your mother and clansmen are also fine. They're currently hiding in the palace, and there's no accident."
"That's good," Adil lightly nodded, feeling relieved.
Looking at Kasi Wang, he wanted to say something.
Bang!
In the distance, an intense tremor sounded out, attracting Adil's attention.
