Chapter 136: Counterattack
Storm Kingdom — Royal Palace
"I have prepared one million soldiers, twenty thousand Level Two warriors, and nine hundred Level Three warriors!" The Falcon King sat on his throne, speaking to the Dragon King through a communication mirror. "And we are ready to move at any moment."
"Good. Use the scroll I sent you before. It is one of the Lord’s aids, and it will transport you directly near the City of Light." The Dragon King smiled sinisterly and said, "I have received word that the new king left the City of Light early this morning, and that he will need at least half a day to return to the city. This is more than enough time to occupy the city and destroy his foothold."
Before ending the communication, the Falcon King reminded him of one more thing. "And don’t forget to bring the Centaur race with you."

In the Silent Forest.
"Silent Queen, prepare yourself. Thirty minutes from now, use the scroll I sent you." Immediately after saying this, the Dragon King disappeared to make sure another king was prepared.
The Silent Queen nodded while holding a wooden staff with a dark blue crystal at its top.
"Sister, do you really have to do this?" Celia looked at her sister, the Silent Queen, and asked worriedly.
The Silent Queen did not even bother responding to her sister. Instead, she tapped the staff against the ground and uttered a single word...
"Silence!"
The Silent Queen rose from her place and began walking outside to lead her army toward the war against the City of Light, while Celia remained frozen in place in shock, as if time had stopped around her!

Several kilometers away from the City of Light, space suddenly began to fluctuate and twist into a spiral.
This scene did not occur in this area alone, but also happened in three different locations near this region.
After several seconds of space twisting, a crack appeared in the dimensional wall, opening a spatial portal from which millions of soldiers emerged!
As soon as they came out, the kings left the task of organizing the soldiers to the generals and headed directly toward the agreed-upon location themselves.
The five kings gathered near the main gate of the City of Light and began discussing the matter.
"How will you destroy this defense array?" the Silent Queen asked.
Since her law did not possess strong destructive properties, it would be of no use against the defense array.
"Leave this to me." The Falcon King smiled confidently, pulled out a bow made from eight opposing wings, and shot toward the sky!
Falcon Wings, the supreme weapon of the Falcon race.
The Centaur King muttered inwardly, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the Falcon King’s weapon.
The Centaur King looked like a man in his forties. Aside from his lower half, which resembled that of a horse, he also had two small horns on his head resembling antlers, barely protruding from his forehead!
He had also been given a weapon with the same power as the Falcon Wings, as well as a Dragon Spear, just like the Silent Queen, so that he could participate in this war, and he had gladly accepted the offer.
"Look over there! What is that!" The guards on the walls of the City of Light noticed the Falcon King rising into the sky above the defense array and quickly sounded the alarm!
DOOOM! DOOOM! DOOOM!
"What an annoying sound!" The Falcon King frowned at the blaring alarm and drew his bow with all his strength!
The wind gathered around him and formed into a gigantic arrow. Then he released the bowstring, and the arrow shot toward the defense array!
BOOOM!
The Falcon King expected to hear an impact like this. He did not expect the defense array to be destroyed with a single attack—it was, after all, the strongest defensive array on the continent—but he at least expected some effect.
But what happened completely surpassed his imagination. The impact he expected never occurred. Instead, the moment the gigantic arrow touched the defense array, it immediately deflected from its path and aimed toward the allied army!
"Ruuuuuuuuuuun!" Seeing the destructive arrow heading toward the armies, the Falcon King shouted at the top of his lungs and tried to warn them before it was too late...
He knew very well that the arrow would claim at least hundreds of lives if it reached those armies.
But before the arrow could reach the armies, someone leaped forward and punched toward the arrow with tremendous force, destroying it!
The Golden King landed on the ground with a confident smile while wearing his race’s sacred Level Four weapon, the "Golden Armor," which covered his entire upper body with a lion-shaped helmet, in addition to two gigantic gauntlets!
"That was close." The Falcon King sighed in relief, but the Golden King did not share his relief.
"Pay attention next time, chicken, or I’ll pluck your feathers!" The Golden King shouted and raised his middle finger toward the Falcon King.
But before the Falcon King could even respond...
"The enemy’s locations have been detected! Horizontal angle thirty-three, vertical twenty-two. Fiiiiire!"
Upon hearing this voice, the allies looked toward the sky, only to see ten thousand arrows, each with an aura no weaker than the aura of the Falcon King’s arrow, raining down upon them!
Ruuuuuuuuuuun!
This time, it was not the Falcon King who shouted. The Golden King did, and the rest of the kings quickly followed him, while the army scattered within seconds.
But an army of this size, numbering more than five million, could not easily move through such chaos. Especially when it was surrounded by gigantic trees from every direction!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
....
...
...
More than ten thousand arrows fell directly upon the army, and tens of thousands of allied soldiers soon fell!
A single arrow from this barrage could easily kill a Level Three warrior, while most of the allied army consisted of Level One warriors!
Among the five million soldiers, there were only around half a million people at Level Two or above, while the rest were only Level One!
"Damn it! Were all those weapons Level Four!" After the wave of explosions ended, the five kings gathered together once again, anger visible on their faces.
"Is the World Spirit helping them or what!" The Golden King gritted his teeth and spoke hatefully.
"No, the World Spirit cannot interfere in matters to this extent." The Falcon King frowned and denied it.
The Silent Queen and the Centaur King stood to the side and did not understand much of what the three kings were talking about. Nevertheless, the Silent Queen gritted her teeth and demanded an explanation.
"We did not agree to this!"
