In the afternoon, after all the slaves had eaten their fill, two hundred cavalrymen were left behind to lead these people to Dinger Mountain.

Meanwhile, Li Xiang and the others were leading three thousand Black Dragon Knights, walking slowly towards Kael’thas.

They did not look murderous at all, as if they had just returned from a field trip.

However, the city guards on the city walls had already been prepared. The huge crossbows had already been loaded. There were even more than twenty low-rank mages under the leadership of a grand mage. They were ready to attack the intruders at any time.

They were still thirty to forty miles away, but Eye Demon had already transmitted the situation and changes in the City of Kael’thas to them clearly.

There were not many changes in the city. There were still five thousand city guards, but most of them were old and weak. Even with the blessing of dark magic, they were still not considered elite soldiers.

He discovered that there were still residents living in the city. However, they were all commoners and poor citizens. There were about thirty to forty thousand of them.

Compared to the slaves that they had saved outside the city, the status of these poor citizens was surprisingly not bad.

Later, Torres explained that he was the one who opened the granaries of the nobles after they were killed. He distributed the food to these people so that they could survive because he wanted to complete the sacrificial ceremony in the near future successfully.

But in the end, these people would also become sacrifices like the slaves, becoming the Lord of Dark’s harvested souls.

“Clang…”

Suddenly, a melodious bell chime came from the City of Kael’thas.

But the bell did not stop, and a few more chimes followed.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

The bell chime turned from melodious at the beginning to urgent, indicating the arrival of some kind of crisis.

Victor also left his palace and led a team of silver-armored guards to the city wall.

The reinforcements had not arrived yet, but he estimated that they should be arriving soon after such a long time.

However, looking at the Black Dragon Knights slowly approaching from the distance and the dozen or so men and women in the lead, he was still a little nervous.

He had been an archbishop for many years. Whether it was with the God of Sun Sect or the current Lord of the Dark Sect, his vision and bearing were extraordinary.

At this moment, looking at this group of people who came calmly, he did not know why he felt that something was wrong. However, he did not know what was wrong.

Suddenly, a shadow fell from the sky, causing everyone to be slightly shocked.

Looking up, they suddenly realized that a huge battleship was flying in the sky.

On the battleship stood countless warriors in bright armor, and three people stood at the bow of the ship.

“Sky battleship! Star Knight General Augustus! Sky Knight Andrew! Sky Knight Goode!”

Victor’s face showed great surprise.

When he saw the sky battleship, the worry in his heart disappeared instantly.

This sky battleship had only appeared in the Azure World for less than ten years. It had only been built after the Pope of Dark, Ayer had taken power.

However, this battleship was extremely uneasy and costly to build. Even with the Violet Empire’s wealth, the entire empire only had three sky battleships.

Even so, they were able to dominate the world with these three battleships. In a short span of ten years, they had expanded the entire Violet Empire’s territory by more than three times, and the surrounding countries had all been destroyed. That was why the former Violet Country had become the current Violet Empire.

There were three sky warships. Each of them had a star knight as a general leading the empire’s most elite Sky Patrol Army. They were invincible wherever they went.

Who would have thought that in order to save the City of Kael’thas, the pope would actually mobilize a sky warship to provide support?

A few miles outside the city, Li Xiang was leading the three thousand warriors of the Black Dragon Knights raised their heads slightly to look at the sky battleship. Not only did he not show any fear on his face, he even showed a happy smile.

“I didn’t expect to encounter such a surprise in this small world!”

Yang Mi and the others naturally understood what Li Xiang meant.

Tong Qingya asked curiously, “This ship can fly in the air. What is the power source? Is It magic?”

Zhou Yutong shook her head and said, “If it’s just magic, it might be able to lift the warship, but it’s absolutely impossible to float in the air and carry people for a long distance. No matter how magical it is, it can’t be so ridiculous.”

Chen Shu said, “Maybe it’s using some special energy. I don’t see any smoke on it. It shouldn’t be powered by a common energy. Maybe this world also has energy ores? Just like the crystal ores on Myriad World Continent.”

She was also a little uncertain.

Li Xiang said casually, “No matter what it’s powered by, this whatever sky warship will be mine after today. Alice, Alicia, Mia, Kyla, I’ll leave the people on the ship to you. Augustus is probably the strongest. You have to be careful when you attack. You have to be especially careful so that they don’t destroy the battleship or use some forbidden items. After all, these people have the Lord of Dark behind them. He’s a demigod after all. You should show some respect!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Torres looked at Victor who was standing on the city wall. His eyes flashed with extreme hatred.

His lover and family had all died because of this person. Countless innocent civilians were sacrificed because of this person’s own desires. Even their souls could not rest in peace after they died.

However, he was not impulsive. He was also not afraid of the arrival of the battleship in the sky.

It was useless to threaten people who were not afraid of death!

Most of the Black Dragon Knights behind him had an irreconcilable feud with this so-called Archbishop of Dark.

Li Xiang could feel that the morale of the Black Dragon Knights behind him was not affected by the arrival of the battleship. It had improved instead. He was a little confused.

However, this did not stop him from issuing orders.

“Torres!”

“Yes!”

“You lead the Black Dragon Knights to attack the city! You don’t need to care about the enemies in the sky. Someone will deal with them. There’s no need to worry!”

“Yes!”

Torres straightened up, raised his hand, and clenched his fist. He shouted, “Black Dragon Knights, listen to my orders!”

“Boom!”

Behind him, all the warriors of the Black Dragon Knights knocked on their chests in an instant and let out an orderly roar.

“Breakthrough Kael’thas and chop off Victor’s head. Under the witness of the Lord of Dawn, kill!”

“Kill!”

“Boom!”

The warhorses immediately set off and the long spears were raised. They started with small steps and became faster and faster. With an indomitable aura, they charged towards the gates of the City of Kael’thas.

General Augustus, who was in the sky, was very unwilling to take on this mission. However, the pope had personally given the order, so he did not dare to be negligent at all. He only wanted to complete the mission and return as soon as possible.

Looking at the Black Dragon Knights below, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. He did not intend to make a move.
