Chapter 379: Chapter 323 Royal Palace

Boom!

Lind turned his head to look in the direction of the church.

Ever since he left, the place hadn’t quieted down completely, with the occasional mushroom cloud.

He was starting to regret whether letting the Undead and Tione stay together was the right decision; the Undead wouldn’t learn to behave.

But sacrificing them to keep Tione in check was necessary, as the battle for the Royal City had reached its final stage.

The number of mutated, frenzied Old Nobility found within the Royal City was astonishing, but Lind chose to neglect them as a whole. If the Undead were interested, he would let them handle it themselves, even offering generous rewards for it.

When Lania ascended the throne, like himself, many of the nobles left the Royal City. Not all nobles lived within the Royal City. They had their own fiefs and could go back to continue being lords.

The talented Old Nobility who followed Lania had also gone to various places to suppress unrest following the shattering of the Ring of Magic.

Many nobles stayed behind in the Royal City, but they were mostly worthless, relying on their bloodlines to flaunt their power, not worth mentioning.

After leaving the church ruins where Tione was, Lind returned to the military camp. He didn’t care what would eventually happen to Tione, as long as he was stable for now.

Everything could be postponed; there were priorities to be concerned with.

And according to the news from the frontlines, Hull’s team had already taken down the most critical area.

Having a clear understanding of the situation, Lind immediately chose to set off.

The road to the Royal Palace had been opened up; there was no need to waste more time.

The "Lasso" formation had also been assembled, tightening from all sides, and ultimately, the Rand Legion would become a rope around Goliath’s neck, trapping him until he was strangled to death.

The troops began to assemble, with the Great Knights already rushing ahead on the central boulevard.

The battle situation remained intense; even though they had seized many key points, and even had advantages in equipment and terrain, the war kept getting dragged on time and time again.

As Lind passed a certain road, he instinctively turned his head and looked in that direction a few more times.

Armand manor, which was where the family of the body he now inhabited resided.

If nothing dramatic happened, there shouldn’t be many normal people in the family, and this was something he simply couldn’t avoid.

He decided to go home and see after achieving final victory.

The closer they got to the Royal Palace, the more intense the atmosphere became.

Following behind Lind, Wen and the Crystal Mage were filled with certain emotions in their eyes. They could sense more clearly the presence of something powerful and oppressive within.

But Lind felt clearer and even a familiar sensation towards whatever was inside.

The attacks by the Dragonized Soldiers became increasingly frenetic, with the Great Knights emerging to resist the madness of their former comrades.

Though the Land Soldiers looked like weaker versions of the Dragonized Soldiers, when it came to close combat, the gap between them wasn’t big.

The Dragonized Soldiers shook, scattering pieces of themselves, colliding with the Land Soldiers, who were adorned with various Mystic Runes and Enchantments.

With the entry of Lind and two others into the battle, and even with Flying Dragons skimming low overhead spewing flames, the previously stagnant battle situation finally saw a new change.

The large troop moved closer to the target.

The curse of the Dragonized Soldiers was extremely dangerous, capable of causing inner turmoil and pain, and could even produce some kind of hallucinogenic gas in the air.

Lind strongly suspected that this might be due to the Dragonized Soldiers’ poor digestive emissions.

Relying on his strong physique, he walked in front, where all curses that approached his body were devoured by the "Serpent Ring Emblem," causing no harm.

Wen also chose to withstand it with her body, after all, she was immortal.

A Dragonized Soldier dived towards Lind from the sky, but Lind suddenly stamped the ground, causing it to crack and burn with flames.

The fire column that suddenly rose was like a large net, waiting for the dragonized soldiers to arrive.

The dragonized soldiers, wielding cursed blades and diving down, disappeared into the blazing fire column. Their dragon scales and armor endured for only a few breaths before being melted by the intense heat.

When the flames died down, only charred and curled fragments remained.

Lind suddenly raised his hand to catch two dragonized soldiers sweeping over his head, twisted his body to slam them to the ground, and then stomped with both feet to end their lives.

Wen also joined the battle, her unique method of 100% thought, making her acutely aware that only the soldiers who survived this war could become a living force against the Abyss.

Some dragonized soldiers crawled to Lind’s feet, hoping to attack his lower body and snatch victory. If Lind lifted his foot, they would surely swarm up.

Lind did raise his leg, but not to stomp down. Instead, he used the "Snake Catcher" skill "Poison Stinger", swiftly kicking to send the dragonized soldier flying.

Another dragonized soldier charged at Lind; the adversary was clad in relatively intact Rand armor, holding a dragonized curse halberd. However, this wild charge froze when Lind caught the halberd’s shaft with one hand.

Taking the halberd, Lind flicked his wrist and split the dragonized soldier before him in two, viscous blood splattering, while he himself charged further forward.

The battlefield gradually pushed towards the Royal Palace, and the "lasso" was in its final step.

Thunder flashed overhead.

The tornado thunderclouds, like a funnel, covered above the Royal Palace, with thunder roaring incessantly, wildly flinging lightning.

The Crystal Mage looked anxiously at Lind: "My lord."

He hesitated, trying to warn.

Even if they truly broke into the Royal Palace, what awaited them would definitely not be victory.

"There is no turning back, Mentor," Lind said, "If you wish to build a force to resist the Great Rift, we must push forward."

The cries of agony ahead caught their attention.

The team led by Marcus was suddenly stripped of their defenses, with a large number of cavalry falling and even dying.

A new enemy appeared.

The Royal Guard with the dragon transformation curse!

The bodies of the cavalrymen were dragon-cursed, and even the warhorses they rode had been dragonized, becoming ferocious.

They formed a cavalry charge formation, motionlessly guarding the entrance directly in front of the Royal Palace.

To enter the Royal City, they had to get past them first.

The dragon characteristics of the dragonized Royal Guard were even more exaggerated, their stature having completely surpassed the normal standard.

Although the previously encountered dragonized soldiers were oddly shaped, their height was at least normal. But the dragonized Royal Guard in front of them now stood as tall as two men, and mounted on horseback at least the height of four men, a veritable unscalable wall.

The dragonized warhorses scraped their hooves, and even though they had lost their sanity and become distorted, they still maintained strict military discipline.

As Lind took another step forward, the dragonized cavalry charged, their speed far exceeding that of the Catastrophe Warhorses. The wide and flat central avenue was the perfect charging ground as hooves beat the flying dust.

Any dragonized soldiers who carelessly blocked the way were mercilessly collided with and torn apart.

The Rand soldiers quickly formed a steel wall with their shields, the lion crested shields roaring towards the dragonized cavalry.

Hidden behind the shields, the Rand soldiers quietly awaited the impending charge from the front. Their bodies seemed to be nestled within layers of magic shields as activated mystic runes circulated over them, ready to withstand the charge with absolute strength.

Weapons were raised through the gaps in the shields, prepared to face the fierce charge head-on.

No one bothered to feel sorrow for the mutual slaughter of their former comrades, as the harsh war had worn away all the pity in their hearts. Everyone just wanted to win this battle.

The life-and-death collision in front of the Royal Palace, accompanied by the ever-nearing sound of hooves.
