Chapter 2073: Chapter 1161: Empty City

“The enemy’s Absolute Defense Barrier has crumbled!”

Seeing this, Saul’s eyes lit up, shouting, “Cover three more rounds of Magic Cannon strikes, eliminate the living forces on the enemy’s city wall, then immediately begin the siege!”

Under Saul’s command, a neat and dense sound of footsteps echoed, and our camp on the south side of Brilliant City swiftly began to change formation.

The mage legions responsible for creating the Magic Bridge and the numerous infantry legions displayed their battle flags, starting a massive advance. Archers deployed around the Magic Cannon positions also prepared their bows and arrows, ready to support the siege troops at any moment.

Before long, once the Magic Cannon strikes ceased completely, magic bridges imbued with Earth System, Plant System, and even Ice System attributes shot up rapidly like mushrooms after the rain, ultimately connecting to the city wall of Brilliant City.

“Everyone, we are the main force for this siege. We cannot disappoint the Holy Lion Prince’s expectations. Let’s show the enemy the wrath of the furious lions!”

Saul raised his longsword high, the shiny sword tip pointing straight at the gate tower, then waved his hand, saying, “Tier 5 Powerhouse follow me in the charge, carve a path to victory!”

After saying this, Saul let out a deep lion roar, swiftly leading the charge toward the lofty gate tower.

Behind Saul, a group of kings and nation-defending powerhouses demonstrated their skills, brandishing weapons with an overwhelmingly impressive momentum.

However, when our Tier 5 Powerhouses first rushed onto the city wall, they found only broken bricks and ripped flags but not a shadow of an enemy soldier.

“Could it be that the enemy, knowing they couldn’t win, voluntarily retreated before their Absolute Defense Barrier shattered?”

Saul looked puzzled at the empty, vast city wall, then turned to Abner responsible for communication and said, “Inform His Royal Highness the Holy Lion of everything!”

Once the command was received with a chest salute, Saul immediately began to arrange the next steps, ordering, “Occupy the city wall area, open the south side city gate, and do not advance further yet!”

In the eastern area of Brilliant City, Leo Ray quickly received the news from Saul’s side.

“The enemy actually abandoned the city wall directly? Although they didn’t open the city gates, it indeed feels like an Empty City Strategy.”

Leo Ray gently rubbed his chin, instructing the Messenger Officer, “Tell our army at the south side to continue standing by and stay alert, let’s wait and see what happens on the other three sides.”

Before long, as the Grand Army from different directions successively ascended the city wall, similar news came from both Leo Ray on the east side and the other two sides under Catherine’s charge.

“Your Highness the Prince, what kind of trickery is the enemy playing?”

Burt’s aged face was full of confusion under the fluttering flag of the Shadow Lord, asking Leo Ray with furrowed brows.

“It is indeed baffling; what is the enemy’s purpose for doing this?”

Lawrence’s old face was equally full of doubt, contemplating, “Is it possible the enemy has laid a trap within the Royal Capital, waiting for us to fall into it?”

“That’s possible. If the enemy has transformed all the Royal Capital’s residents into puppet warriors to ambush us once we enter the city, it would indeed pose a great threat to us.”

Hod nodded thoughtfully, tightly furrowing his brow, clearly recalling the crazy scenes during the siege of the Sunset Fortress.

“Currently, the enemy cannot yet deploy their puppet warrior card. Everyone knows that the Temple of Light is assisting the Grimm Kingdom in defending the city, and the figure of the number one Black-robed Person once appeared on the city wall earlier, although he now uses a public identity, the Chief Cardinal of the Temple of Light, Gusta.”

Through intelligence integration and Ester’s confirmation, Leo Ray apparently understood Gusta’s situation, and gestured to Hod, saying, “If the Temple of Light deployed that card now, it would be a direct admission of their connection with the Black Abyss Brotherhood.”

“After all, previously, they only acknowledged the chaos caused internally by believers, while always attributing the puppet warrior matters to the Black Abyss Brotherhood and Saint King William.”

“The entire Human World is watching this battle, including the two other Neutral Organizations. If Gannon the Ninth admits to being the mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood, then the other observing Neutral Organizations might ally with us.”

Saying this, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows.

During this time, through the innocent priests’ offensives across the Grimm Kingdom and other Human various countries, the whole story had been spread to every corner of the Human World.

Although most forces hadn’t believed our side’s version yet and remained onlookers, as soon as Gannon the Ninth slipped up, the answer would naturally be evident.

In other words, the enemy once tried to isolate us from the entire Human World and become universally condemned, while now we use the same method to undermine the enemy’s prestige in the Human World.

Simultaneously, it would force the enemy to be more cautious in using the Black Abyss Brotherhood’s power, ensuring their image doesn’t crumble.

Thinking this in mind, Leo Ray smiled faintly, saying, “Thus, the enemy will only utilize the surface forces of the Temple of Light until we push them to the brink, preventing suspicion among other forces.”
