Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

Chapter 251 Escape and Choice

Countless cities of the Violet Empire had been breached, and countless nobles had been killed. The impact was simply too great.

After all, it was a world with magic, and the speed at which information was transmitted was extremely fast.

The Emperor of the empire, Ron Auckland, let out a furious roar from the Great Hall.

"Who can tell me what is going on? Who are the enemies? Why did we lose dozens of cities and have hundreds of nobles killed in half a day?"

There were echoes in the Great Hall, and all the ministers were silent.

A bishop from the Lord of Dark Sect took a deep breath and walked out of the formation, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, the Pope has just learned about the origin of these people."

Ron said coldly with a stern expression, "Speak!"

"My Lord has sent an oracle. Those people came from other worlds. Their purpose is to destroy my Lord's plan to become a God and completely occupy this world. Their army consists of Angels, Demons, Giant Dragons, and other transcendental creatures. Their combat strength is extremely powerful. Common human soldiers are simply unable to contend against them!"

"Angels, Demons? Aren't they mortal enemies?"

"Don't Giant Dragons never participate in disputes?"

A group of ministers was discussing with their limited knowledge.

However, Emperor Ron ignored them and asked the bishop, "Since the oracle has descended, does your church have any countermeasures?"

The bishop was a little embarrassed when he heard that. He shook his head and said, "The sky battleship led by General Augustus has been annihilated, and the battleship has also been captured by the other party. Even when the Pope personally made a move and descended a clone, he was unable to gain any benefits. The City of Kael'thas has completely fallen. This is yesterday's news!"

Ron actually wanted to question why was yesterday's news only reported today.

However, the upper-class nobles of the Violet Empire had long been corrupted. The system was rigid, and there were more people than were required. If he were to question them, he would probably be rebuked immediately. That was because he had been playing with the concubines in the harem all day and night yesterday. No one dared to disturb him.

He controlled his emotions, waved his hand, and sat down. He said coldly, "We must come to a conclusion today on how to deal with the enemy this time. Otherwise, we'll all stay here!"

The ministers and nobles looked at each other, their hearts filled with anxiety and unease.

Some people were worried that their territories would block the enemy's path of advancement, and they would lose a large sum of money.

Some people were thinking about how they could obtain greater benefits through the matter.

Some people had even begun to think about how they could contact the person on the enemy's side to build a relationship while preserving their strength. So that under the rule of a new force, they could still ensure their luxurious lives.

However, few people really thought about the future of the country, and no one wanted to sacrifice their interests to protect the Emperor.

Ron knew the behavioral patterns of those nobles like the back of his hand. If he did not use some tricks, those guys might really be able to drag it out with him.

Thus, while those nobles were discussing, teams of black-clothed warriors walked into the hall in neat steps with a murderous aura and sealed the entire hall.

When one of the nobles saw that scene, his heart trembled. He knew that the Emperor was genuinely anxious this time.

"Your Majesty! It's impossible to defend against the enemy this time with just our mortal armies. It's best to ask the Pope of Dark to ask the Lord of Dark to send an oracle and bestow power. That way, there might be some hope."

When the other nobles heard that, they immediately agreed.

"That's right. The enemy is full of transcendental races. Only the armies of the sect can fight against them!"

"It would be even better if that demigod could personally descend."

Ron watched coldly. After those people finished speaking, he glanced at the Lord of Dark Sect's bishop, who stood out, and asked, "What does Ayer think?"

"The Pope wants to gather the elites and focus on defending Byron. He wants to give up on other places. As long as that person can become a true God, these invaders do not pose a problem at all."

Ron understood what the Pope meant. That was not just giving up on the city but asking him to give up on everyone except for the capital.

After the expansion of the Violet Empire, there were at least four to five hundred million people. If he gave up...

He really wanted to nod and give up, but even if he was the ruler of a country, that order was too cruel.

Moreover, if he gave up on those people, would these people in front of him really be able to defend against the enemy?

He remained silent.

In fact, he was very clear in his heart that with the strength displayed by the other party, unless the Pope of Dark personally made a move, then perhaps they would be able to hold off the other party. Otherwise, the Violet Empire would fall.

Since that was the case, staying here was practically a dead end.

The thoughts in his mind instantly became apparent, and a hint of viciousness flashed through his eyes.

"Since that's the case, then according to our discussion, let the Lord of Dark Sect deal with the enemy."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

The group of nobles and ministers was somewhat confused.

"What did we discuss earlier?"

...

Outside Byron City, a sky battleship slowly flew over.

The soldiers guarding the city had long been informed that a sky battleship had been captured by the enemy.

Now that a sky battleship had suddenly appeared, how could they not know that the enemy was coming?

Instantly, all sorts of alarms sounded throughout the city.

With the help of his senses of the world, Li Xiang had already confirmed that Ayer had not left.

However, he did not stay in the shrine where he had initially been.

Instead, he appeared in an exquisite mansion and became a common middle-aged noble.

"Alice, you guys go! You already know the location. All of you attack together and make sure to kill Ayer's clone. As long as you kill him, half of the mission this time will be completed."

"Yes!"

Yafei was even more eager to get ready for a big battle.

During the last battle with Ayer's clone, she was almost always at a disadvantage. Only by relying on her extraordinary defense could she hold on until Ayer's energy was exhausted.

Now that everyone was attacking together, she did not feel it was inappropriate. Instead, she was abnormally excited.

Right at that moment, the other two sky battleships of the Violet Empire rose from a distance.

"I almost forgot that there are still two sky battleships here. Let's see if we can take them down."

However, before he could make a move, he saw the two sky battleships turn their bows and fly off in another direction.

"We haven't even started fighting, and they're already running away?"

He had thought they would have to go through another fierce battle, but it seemed there was no need for that now.

The other party did not seem to have any will to resist at all. Instead, they were focused on running away, making him rather awkward.

"Forget it! The Pope of Dark Ayer is more important. If they can't run too far, we can still catch up. However, if we let Ayer escape, it'll be troublesome."

"Let them go and kill Ayer with all our might!"

Ayer originally wanted to let the powerhouses and warriors of the Violet Empire exhaust the strength on Li Xiang's side. Unexpectedly, when he raised his eyes, he saw two sky battleships fleeing in the distance.

"Trash!"
