Chapter 828: Chapter 828: The Hidden Army

The two sides fought inextricably. Despite the hidden armies, there was no movement of any sort. Peter Brown could only watch cautiously, curious to see what the hidden forces intended to do.

Seated here, Peter was concealed by the Invisibility Talisman, undetectable by anyone around.

At this point, whether it was the King’s side or the Left Chancellor’s side, all the forces of both sides had been revealed.

Now, Peter began pondering a question: what sort of relationship should Earth and Return-to-Earth Star maintain that is most advantageous to the development of Earth?

Obviously, if Return-to-Earth Star became too powerful, it wouldn’t be good for Earth. However, if Return-to-Earth Star became too weak, that wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing either. After all, besides Return-to-Earth Star, there were many other aliens that would likely invade Earth.

After contemplating for a while, Peter felt that Return-to-Earth Star should still retain a certain amount of power.

For now, he decided to wait and see in what direction events would unfold.

Peter didn’t make a move, and everyone else also seemed to have forgotten about him.

Alvin Smith had been contemplating for a while, but after engaging in battle with Jack Ashton, he no longer got distracted by other matters.

The battlefield was now rife with intense combat, as one Cultivator after another fell.

Both sides had many skilled fighters. Although Alvin Smith’s Death Soldier Army had been destroyed by Peter, he had prepared for years and his forces attacking the Imperial City included numerous elite fighters.

The most formidable of Jack Ashton’s forces was the Honored Army, comprised mostly of Golden Core Experts. Their appearance had managed to slightly turn the tides in the King’s favor.

However, their effectiveness was limited, and they could only continue to fight bitterly.

In the short span of time, another group from both sides had fallen.

After a furious exchange, Jack Ashton’s defenses were cleaved open by Alvin’s sword, his chest profusely bleeding. Conversely, Alvin didn’t fare too well either; Jack’s blade had struck his left hand, blood flowing down his arm.

After a vicious stare at each other, they took a deep breath and clashed once again.

Despite Tia Hill is slightly less experienced, several Death soldiers protected her, making her fight equally challenging.

Another 10 minutes passed, and Jack Ashton was suddenly attacked by Alvin Smith with a magic treasure. His long knife was blasted away, and his chest was blasted open, revealing a large hole. Despite being a Golden Core Expert, Jack Ashton, clutching at his chest, still hadn’t died.

Of course, Alvin Smith also suffered injuries as he ambushed Jack Ashton, and in the process has lost his left leg.

For high-level fighters like them, losing one leg isn’t a cause for concern. With Elixirs, it can be reattached and heal over time.

After picking up his severed left leg, Alvin Smith looked at Jack Ashton and burst into laughter, "Jack Ashton, you will die today!"

Jack Ashton clearly felt his vitality rapidly ebbing away. Glancing over the battlefield, he let out a long sigh, realizing that all hope was lost.

"Father!"

Upon seeing Jack Ashton’s predicament, Tia Hill rushed towards him.

However, just as she was distracted, a spear pierced her from behind.

Ah!

Tia’s life force was completely extinguished, and she, too, fell.

"Tia!"

As Jack Ashton’s yelled out, his life force finally left him completely. With eyes wide open in fury, he fell.

Alvin Smith laughed heartily, knowing that he had won the battle. The people of the Ashton family stood no chance of victory.

Just as Alvin Smith was about to speak, suddenly an army appeared from all directions, led by someone dressed in royal attire.

"Father!"

One young man rushed towards Jack Ashton while shouting.

"Prince Frank!"

Alvin Smith’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the approaching young man. He hadn’t expected another prince to arrive.

Prince Frank was thought to have been critically wounded and carried away during the initial defense of the Imperial City. How was he now here, full of vitality?

In a split second, Alvin Smith figured out a lot of things. He looked at Prince Frank and said, "Benjamin Ashton, enough with your play-acting. You were just waiting for this moment, weren’t you? If you want to fight, then fight!"

At this point, Prince Frank looked at Alvin Smith, gave orders to his subordinates, "Kill!"

While speaking, Prince Frank picked up the fallen Jack Ashton and surreptitiously removed a ring from his finger.

Peering into the ring, a look of joy spread across his face. Inside was the King’s imperial seal. Already prepared in the ring was a decree. Once the imperial seal is affixed, he would become the King.

He had waited far too long for this day!

By this time, the forces that Benjamin Ashton had brought were now engaged in battle with Alvin Smith’s forces

Benjamin Ashton stood up and hovered in mid-air. He shouted at the original forces of the King, "Alvin Smith is rebelling. I am the fourth prince. Our father, the king, is now dead. Let me lead everyone to defend the Imperial City. Whoever kills Alvin Smith will be richly rewarded!"

It was evident that he already considered himself as the rightful successor to the king.

Raw morale from the King’s forces, which had been faltering due to the King’s death, was invigorated by Prince Frank’s appearance, especially his rallying call. The war was pushed further in depth.

Sitting there, Peter Brown saw everything that occurred on the battlefield.

He hadn’t expected that the hidden army would turn out to be Prince Frank’s.

Contemplating how Prince Frank had only appeared after his father’s death, Peter naturally didn’t favour this kind of person.

This youngster uses such cunning methods. He wants the throne so badly that he won’t save his own father.

Should such a person inherit the King’s throne? Is there no justice in this world?

Although he saw that Tia Hill was also killed in battle, Peter didn’t feel much for the princess. Although they were familiar with each other, she was a woman who valued the interests of the country above all else. Saving her wouldn’t have made much sense. Peter had no intentions to court such a woman.

The two sides fought even more fiercely now. The original forces of the King were fighting with a belief that they must die trying, and Prince Frank’s forces were like fresh troops. The entire course of the war was moving in favor of Prince Frank’s victory.

Looking at Prince Frank again, his aura was rising, already reaching the early stage of the Golden Core. The power he displayed was formidable beyond measure.

Almost all troops in Kingston had gathered at the Imperial City. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, Peter Brown knew it was time for him to take action.

Standing up, Peter Brown flew towards the battlefield.

This time, Peter had made up his mind. Neither party was his preferred victor. It was simpler to destroy them all.

Soon, Peter arrived at the forefront, quickly retrieving two Heaven-turning Thunders with his hand deployment.

"Whether you agree or not, your daughter will definitely be mine, even if I have to take her by force!"

Yes, that’s how domineering he is!
