Everything clearly told everyone that the news of the Emperor's injury had been leaked.
Yes, the Demigod Emperor was injured.
Not long ago, the Demigod Emperor who had escaped into the void was seriously injured for unknown reasons. After barely returning to the Demigod Palace, he immediately went into seclusion to heal his injuries. His condition was still unknown.
As demigod guards, they immediately sealed the news under the leadership of the Imperial Guards. That was why it did not lead to a greater commotion.
However, no one expected that there would be a traitor among the twelve guards who leaked the news of the Emperor's injury.
In just a few breaths, Ike had basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
The news of the Emperor's injury was leaked by the traitor guards. Mingyin Yesi, who had long had ill intentions, secretly left the Yesi Family and sneaked into the vicinity of the Demigod Palace. He also tested the defense system three times to verify the authenticity of the news.
If the Emperor was not injured, he, who could completely control the defense system, would have sent his power over and discovered Mingyin Yesi's first test.
However, the Emperor did not respond to Mingyin Yesi's three tests. Coupled with the changes in the defense system of the Imperial Guards, everyone knew that something must have happened to the Emperor.
Thinking of this, the three shuddered at the same time.
They were silent. The tens of thousands of troops behind them were all quietly standing in the void at this moment, waiting for their commander's orders.
After an unknown amount of time, Ike gritted his teeth and said loudly, "No, we must try to contact the Imperial Guards."
"How?" Kubbi's face was gloomy. "The Imperial Guards clearly don't believe in the power of any of the twelve demigod guards. If we send them over like this, the defense system might attack immediately."
This situation was completely possible. It was even very likely.
The Imperial Guards' highest mission was to ensure the safety of the Emperor. In order to achieve this mission, they would not hesitate to launch the most ferocious attack on anyone they thought could threaten the Emperor. They would not rest until they were dead.
If they rashly approached the Demigod Palace, once the Imperial Guards controlled the defense system to attack, they could only watch as their loved ones suffered and their enemies rejoiced.
Ike and the other two were at their wits' end. The tens of thousands of troops behind them could only be cannon fodder under the attack of the defense system.
However, the problem now was that they had to get in touch with the Imperial Guard and express their stance. Then, they would work together to see if they could eliminate this disaster.
Otherwise, once the war broke out, the Imperial Guards would attack indiscriminately. At that time, they would have no tears to cry.
"Let's go to the seventh guard first. I want to skin that old bastard with my own hands." After thinking for a long time, Ike said hatefully.
He had a pretty good relationship with the captain of the seventh guard. He just couldn't understand why he would betray them.
At this moment, a ray of light that illuminated the entire starry sky as bright as day bloomed in the distance.
The four of them were shocked at the same time. They turned around abruptly and saw that in the direction of the demigod palace, there was a ball of blazing white light blooming like a flower. It was beautiful beyond compare.
A moment later, an earth-shattering explosion was heard. Then, a shockwave surged out in all directions like a monstrous wave.
The four of them stared blankly at the blooming flowers in the distance. For a moment, they couldn't make any effective response.
A moment later, Beulon reacted and shouted crazily, "They've made their move."
Ike shuddered. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that the layer of faint blue light that originally covered the demigod palace shattered after a layer of water ripples.
Ike opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he realized that he couldn't say a word.
"The defense system … actually … shattered …" Kubbi was in a daze. His face was full of disbelief.
The first one to come back to his senses was Beulon. Although his lips were blue and his face was pale, he shouted loudly, "What are you waiting for? Protect the Emperor."
"Protect the Emperor!" Ike reacted instantly.
The defense system didn't even last for a second before shattering. He would be the first to not believe that there was no traitor inside the demigod palace.
"Brothers, prepare for battle. Protect the Emperor."
Ike raised his arm and shouted. The Ruler's power was fully unleashed. His voice formed a shockwave that spread throughout the starry sky.
"Protect the Emperor!" Tens of thousands of demigod guards shouted at the same time. The crowd was furious.
"Let's go!" Kubbi shouted and rushed out first.
The others no longer hesitated and followed closely behind Kubbi. They led the army and quickly approached the demigod palace.
As soon as they got close, a group of people came up to them. They didn't even say a word. All kinds of attacks rained down on them.
Ike saw it clearly. It was the seventh guard captain that he wanted to find — Aaron.
"You old bastard, why did you betray the Emperor?" Ike let out an earth-shattering roar. He opened his hands wide and countless lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the void. They wrapped around his fists.
Boom!
His fist disappeared and reappeared. It was already smashing out fiercely.
Aaron was an old man with a beard. Faced with Ike's question, he didn't say anything. He pulled out a short sword from behind him. His body swayed, and he stabbed over.
In an instant, scattered light appeared in the world. It merged into the short sword like flowing water, bringing out a crazy whistling sound.
The next moment, the fist and the short sword collided fiercely.
Ike only felt an extremely sharp power break through his fists in an instant. It cut through the lightning bolts and pierced into his body.
He turned pale with fright and twisted his body. The power of a Ruler that had experienced countless battles burst out at this moment. It exploded in front of Aaron and Aaron at the critical moment, separating them in an instant.
At this moment, the army that originally belonged to the demigod guards was already in a mess.
The void outside the demigod palace was filled with lights of various colors. Energy overflowed everywhere. Screams, screams, and furious roars rose and fell one after another. The moment the battle began, it entered a white-hot stage.
Ike couldn't be bothered to watch the battle. He lowered his head and saw that the armor in front of his chest had been completely shattered. Even his chest was pierced with a big bloody hole. If he had not reacted in time to detonate the energy and pull away, a hole would have been pierced through.
"Old bastard, what's with your cultivation base?" Ike cursed, but he was secretly shocked.
Aaron's cultivation base was originally the same as his. Why did the power he displayed now far surpass his?
Facing Ike's question, Aaron still didn't say a word. There was an undetectable red light flickering between his eyes, and he actually pounced over again.
At this moment, a shrill and furious roar erupted from behind Ike.
Ike's fists once again brought out a sky full of lightning, but when he looked back in a hurry, his eyes were about to split open.
"Why, Aaron?"
A shrill and angry roar came out of Kubbi's mouth. He struggled to twist his body and forcefully broke Aaron's arm that pierced into his back. The white bone stubble was faintly discernible in the blood, and it was incomparably miserable.
Aaron, who had seriously injured Kubbi with a sneak attack and lost his right arm, had a red light flashing in his eyes. He turned a deaf ear to Kubbi's angry roar and didn't even care about his own injuries. Without a word, he pounced forward again.
Kubbi was caught off guard and was seriously injured. After a few moves, he was in dire straits and was about to lose.
However, what made him even more furious was that Aaron's subordinates had all turned around and attacked his companions.
In an instant, the battlefield was in chaos.
Boom!
Ike, who had finally repelled the short sword with lightning, spat out another mouthful of blood. He raised his eyes and looked around. A feeling of panic and helplessness actually appeared in his heart.
A battle that couldn't even be distinguished between friend and foe, could it still continue?
