The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 623: A Difficult Decision

The Allied Forces were struggling against 30,000 pseudo-beast soldiers and 20,000 pseudo-human soldiers. They had expected some resistance in the royal capital, but the actual numbers were more than double their initial estimates. Especially troublesome were the flying pseudo-human soldiers.

However, the Allied Forces numbered 200,000. Gradually, they began to gain the upper hand, eliminating the pseudo-beast soldiers and coordinating with ground forces to deal with the pseudo-human soldiers.

"Holy Glitter!!!"

In front of the royal capital, General Leonard used holy magic to purify a group of pseudo-beast soldiers. He then flew at low altitude, cutting through the enemy ranks, followed by his dragon knights.

"General Leonard! We can see the main gate!"

"Don't rush in until we've cleared the surrounding enemies!"

Ignoring Leonard's orders, one dragon knight flew towards the main gate at low altitude. He was incinerated upon passing through a barrier.

"A massive barrier covering the entire royal capital...!"

"Is it the work of a demon...?"

Unable to approach the capital, Leonard ordered, "Leave the royal capital for now! Focus on annihilating the surrounding enemies!"

Even if the mages are brought to the forefront to attack, in this chaotic battle state, they can't calmly cast spells. The first priority is to control the surrounding area. However, the number of enemies is large, and the situation inside the royal capital is unclear. Commands are issued by the field commander.

"Send a messenger to the headquarters! Request reinforcements!"

"Understood!"

Following Leo's instructions, a swift horse is dispatched. The destination is the nearest Adventurer's Guild branch. There, they can communicate with the headquarters using the distant communication room. The Adventurer's Guild headquarters is eager to know about the situation's development and has granted special permission for this communication. All information reaches the headquarters, and naturally, this report too had already arrived.

Adventurer Guild Headquarters, Babel

"The Allied Forces are struggling! There's a barrier around the royal capital!"

"The allied forces seem to be struggling! There are numerous pseudo-monsters, and a barrier has been cast over the royal capital!"

"It's impossible to create a barrier that covers an entire nation's capital so easily. Only a few on this continent can perform such a feat."

The candidates for such a task are all exceptional monsters, and the enemy has such individuals among them, whether they be human or demon. If the kingdom, which uses humans as material for pseudo-monsters, is collaborating with them, they can be considered enemies of humanity. As the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, Guild Master Clyde faced a difficult decision: whether to involve the Adventurer's Guild in the battle. The Adventurer's Guild couldn't intervene in a war between nations. However, it was doubtful whether the kingdom could still be considered a nation, given their excessively abnormal actions. It was almost certain that the Demon Nobility Association was involved behind the scenes, and they were connected to demons. Therefore, the kingdom could be a target for subjugation. Nevertheless...

"Should the Adventurer's Guild, which has maintained at least a semblance of neutrality, create a precedent by intervening in the battle..."

The Guild was not entirely neutral, but as an organization of people, they had done well. The Adventurer's Guild had been as neutral as possible. However, the Guild existed to eliminate enemies of the continent. They couldn't afford to delay. Maintaining neutrality was to ensure they could act effectively against demons. Clyde closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. It wasn't much time, but he made his decision and slowly stood up, grabbing the beloved sword displayed in the room. He had already retired from active duty and never thought the day would come when he would wield this sword again. But now was the time to prove the Adventurer's Guild's raison d'être.

"The Guild Master cannot make a statement by command alone."

Saying this, Clyde sheathed his beloved sword at his waist and then addressed the entire Babel.

"This is Clyde, the Guild Master. From now on, we, the Adventurer's Guild, designate the kingdom as a target for subjugation. Therefore, as a reinforcement to the allied forces currently engaged with the kingdom, we will head there. As an order from the Guild Master — all elite adventurers of AA rank and above, head to the location. All AA rank and above adventurers, gather underground."

After relaying the message, Clyde himself headed to the underground.
