After defeating the imperial troops guarding the gate, the Chinese Tower's army has been advancing steadily. The imperials' resistance was fierce, but under the overwhelming blow of artillery fire and magic, they could only retreat step by step. Soon, the former Blackwood Pass Command Center, now the Emperor's Palace, was exposed to the Chinese offensive.
Wang Jiyuan re-established his headquarters in a house with a good view inside the Great Wall.
Xiao Chen, Liu Yisheng, Gabriel and other masters stood beside him, observing the situation on the battlefield. They did not participate in the battle in the city, but were on guard against the emergence of enemy masters. The current battlefield was instead a stage for a large number of ordinary soldiers and high-level players such as Huang Zheng, Glade and Evelyn.
Xiao Chen said: "I don't know if Duke Weber's letter is useful. If Franco and Gram can really join our side, then Emperor Alfred will lose another arm."
Gabriel said: "Don't expect that. Our strength is enough to win this battle."
"Not necessarily." Liu Yisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the emperor's palace. "It seems that they have used their last resort."
"The last resort?" Xiao Chen was stunned. "Are you referring to that Saint? But Master Ikasa told me that Saints would not interfere in such a battle. And Saint Morales is not an unreasonable person. He knows very well what will happen in the next few years."
"Things will change. In different histories, these saints will take different positions for various reasons, which makes me fully realize how unstable human life is. No one knows what Morales in this world is thinking." Liu Yisheng turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen stared into his eyes, feeling a deep power hidden in those black pupils. Starlight flickered in them as his eyes moved, as if... his eyes contained the entire starry sky. Xiao Chen raised his finger and pointed at his eyes and said, "What's wrong with your eyes... Have you regained that state and returned to the Saint level?"
"Yes, I fell down the mountain before, and now I am walking up again. I hope to see a different scenery this time." The stars in Liu Yisheng's eyes returned to normal. He looked at the palace again and said, "But that is a matter for the future. For now, I feel that it is not enough."
"What? Did Morales show up?" Gabriel asked.
"Look!" Liu Yisheng pointed to the entrance of the palace, and a man took off into the air and flew towards the sky above the battlefield.
The attacking troops on the ground would not let this man go, but the strange thing was that all the bullets and magic fired at him had a large deviation, as if the soldiers were shooting randomly into the sky. Even if magic passed through him, it did not affect his movements at all.
"Why is the fighting down there so messy? Even if we hit the target it's useless. Could this be an illusion?" Wang Jiyuan asked.
"It's not an illusion. Morales just used the power of the law of space to mess up the refraction of light in the entire area, so that everyone sees him in a different position, and he is not in the position that any of us see. So these attacks naturally fell through." Xiao Chen said, "I didn't expect him to really appear."
"It's great that you can see through this." Liu Yisheng said, "I'll go meet him."
"Let's go together. I'm the only one among us masters who can intervene in such a battle." Gabriel said, "It's very beneficial to be able to fight against a saint. And even if we really have to fight, I can still help a little."
"Not only you, Xiao Chen, Luo Ling and Mao Kai should also be able to play a role when fighting against the saint. You will understand when you reach this level. At the level of saint, the size of absolute power is no longer the most critical issue, but it depends on this." Liu Yisheng pointed to his head and said.
"Of course I have to go. This opportunity is rare." Xiao Chen said.
Wang Jiyuan saw Xiao Chen was about to leave, so he grabbed him and said, "Xiao Chen, don't forget that you are Chairman Xiao now!"
"I am a very different chairman. You will soon get used to it." After saying that, he smiled and followed Liu Yisheng out the door.
Morales is an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a luxurious robe and holding a small staff about one foot long. From any angle, he fits the image of a magician in the story. But his eyes are a little small and his nose is a little hooked, which makes him look a little more gloomy.
At this time, the attacks on the battlefield had stopped. Morales had already revealed his identity, and many people below were looking at him with awe. Morales was very satisfied with the effect. The initial attack was ineffective, but it had already given the other party a great shock. He was ready to teach the other party a lesson and make them withdraw from Heimuguan. Of course, if the other party went too far, he would not mind killing them.
Although saints have to consider more profound things than ordinary people, they also have their own positions and likes and dislikes. For Morales, he can already foresee that the Chinese will break through the Black Wood Pass and invade the empire's territory. As an old man who has lived for a long time, he knows very well what war will bring to each city and each civilian.
Perhaps as a saint he shouldn't get involved in this matter, but as an imperial citizen, it would be too difficult for him to stand idly by.
So Morales finally agreed to Emperor Alfred's request, crossed the space and came to this battlefield.
Morales stood here, and his position became the center of the entire battlefield. He released his power, and everyone felt that the surrounding magic began to slowly rotate around Morales. He was like the sun, and everyone around him became the stars surrounding him.
Morales did not speak, waiting for the people from the Tower of China to appear. Soon, three magicians from the Tower of China appeared opposite him. These three did not release too much power, and they seemed very small in the tide of magic power caused by his surging mental power, like a small boat tossing in the turbulent sea.
Morales said: "Masters from the Tower of China. I, Silent Praise Morales, ask you to retreat outside the Blackwood Pass, otherwise you will witness the true power of the saint here."
The middle one of the three people opposite said, "Mr. Morales, my name is Xiao Chen, and I am the current acting chairman of the Tower of China, which means I am the nominal leader of the Tower of China. These two are my companions, Master Gabriel, a high-ranking battle angel from the Tower of Shining Wings, and Liu Yisheng, the saint who inherited the legacy of the ancient magic tower."
