Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2082 The Backstab Through the Void!
There was no time to think about it.

After that sudden attack with the [Light Spear].

The surrounding powerful individuals, including the Knight Golem and Stella, who still had some strength left, had already revealed themselves directly to the enemy.

The rest either perished or are still struggling amidst the surrounding ruins.

Therefore, under Brand's control, the knight golem immediately put away its longbow and quiver.

He drew the azure greatsword from his back, stepped forward, and slashed down furiously at a great demon who was already charging towards them.

The clash of weapons created visible shockwaves that spread outwards.

Fire and storm elements also erupted outwards from them.

And followed closely behind.

The archdemon suddenly abandoned its stalemate with the knight golem, retreated sharply, and leaped up to protect the charging demon army from above, along with other nearby archdemon.

When the knight golem looked up following its senses.

Evelyn, who had stayed behind to guard the Dragon Palace, had revealed her true form, her enormous body now looming over them from behind and above.

Emerald light emanated from her lips and teeth, and then in the next instant, it enveloped the demon army in front of her and the teleportation gate that had appeared out of nowhere.

In the blink of an eye, the knight golem's vision was filled with a spreading emerald storm and the sharp howling of the air being torn apart.

Although the full picture is not yet visible, Brand vaguely senses that Evelyn's dragon breath attack was likely blocked by the combined efforts of the great demons.

As Brand pondered and prepared to examine the specific results of Evelyn's attack...

A gust of wind carried Evelyn's voice to the knight golem's ears:

"Don't just stand there! Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Brand hesitated slightly.

Stella, who was standing nearby, grabbed the knight golem's arm and, with the help of the wind elemental legion, pulled him quickly behind Evelyn.

At the same time, she transmitted her voice with a solemn expression:
"Don't be reckless, those powerful beings in the sky are also gathering this way!"

Upon hearing this, the knight golem was controlled and ran away with Stella.

Brand also set aside a viewpoint and turned his gaze towards the sky.

—Just as Stella said, the demons in the sky are now trying to converge on the center of the Dragon Palace, despite the various attacks from their own powerful allies!

Upon seeing this, Brand instantly realized that they were trying to protect the portal that had been opened by the [Light Spear] earlier.

As Brand considered whether he could find an opportunity to thwart the other party's plan.

Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the sky over the western district of Emerald City.

Another [light spear] was casually tossed down by a demon king who had arrived there at some unknown time.

This time, Brand saw it very clearly.

The Light Spear fell unstoppably, its tip sinking into the ground and its shaft continuously sinking.

Then, the [Light Spear] dimmed rapidly and then connected to a world of flames of unknown location.

Seeing this scene, Heidi Lin said solemnly:

"It seems to be a completely new method?"

Celine pondered:
"From what I've observed, the extraordinary energy level of that [Light Spear] is roughly at the level of a high-level grand magic."

In addition, the portal it opened looked very stable and sturdy, and could not be broken by a casual attack.

The demons were clearly prepared this time.

Upon hearing this, and then quickly seeing in front of me a [Demon Lava Giant] emerging from the portal of light pillars in the Dragon Palace, wielding a huge black stone shield, and slowly raising Evelyn's dragon breath.

Brand also vaguely realized that the Emerald City was probably one of the main targets of the Radiant Hall tonight!

Lost in thought, Brand spoke:

"Sister Celine, could you please check on Finia's situation?"

Additionally, there are some magical devices in the sleeping quarters; you can retrieve them using the castle's teleportation array.

Upon hearing this, Celine suddenly had an idea and asked:
"There are quite a few good things in the Jade Dragon Palace. If the guards can't retrieve them in time, can we 'keep' them for them?"

Upon hearing this, Brand nodded and said:
"You decide what to do, just don't get caught."

Celine smiled and said:
"I'll do the work, don't worry!"

After making a brief arrangement, Brand once again focused his attention on the Knight Golem.

At this point in time, the Knight Golem and Stella have retreated to the nearby entrance to the Hall of Government Affairs.

Evelyn had stopped breathing her dragon breath, and the [Demon Lava Giant] that had been teleported in was wielding a giant shield and charging towards her, carrying Evelyn into the sky.

They flew right over the knight golem and Stella, creating a massive upheaval within the Dragon Palace area.

After glancing up at it, the knight golem, under Brand's control, transmitted its voice to Stella beside it via a magical device:

"You go and act with the others from the Government Affairs Hall. I'll draw the enemy's attention outside, and you can retreat as the situation warrants."

As he said this, he pushed Stella into the entrance, which had already been opened a crack by the people inside.

Ignoring Stella's exclamation, the knight golem leaped to the top floor of the government hall.

Then, it put the greatsword back on its back and took up the longbow!
Gazing into the distance.

More than twenty great demons have now been teleported into the Dragon Palace.

Most of the protectors were in mid-air near the teleportation gate, while a small number were attacking their own powerful allies who remained to guard the Dragon Palace.

And the ground below.

Centered on the teleportation gate, countless demon warriors were spreading out in all directions, braving various attacks, and launching assaults on their own defensive fortifications.

On the constantly trembling ground, the Dragon Palace had become the very center of the battlefield!

There was no hesitation whatsoever.

He drew an arrow from the quiver on his thigh, nocked it, and drew the bowstring to its fullest extent. The surrounding wind elements gathered like a vortex.

After aiming at the densest area of ​​demons on the ground in the distance, release the bowstring.

The azure beam of light instantly traversed the distance, creating a vast expanse of wind blades at the target's location.

What Brand was then somewhat surprised about was:
This attack, at a mid-level of sublimation, did not clear out the demons within its range as he had imagined.

A special layer of group fire elemental protection enveloped these demon warriors, greatly reducing the power of this attack.

While inwardly marveling at how extravagant the [Radiant Hall] had really gone all out this time.

Under Brand's control, the knight golem did not stop moving, firing one medium-level Ascended Wind Elemental Arrow after another.

Even the strongest protective measures will eventually run out of energy!
—Since one strike failed, we can try a few more!
However, this state did not last long.

A golden lion-man of high orcish rank suddenly landed beside the knight golem, wielding a magnificent great axe, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Bernard, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor just ordered us to evacuate the Dragon Palace as soon as possible."

This place is likely to become the epicenter of the battlefield; the [Flame Domain] is spreading rapidly.

The "Flame Domain" mentioned by the Golden Lion is not the Grand Magister's Flame Element Domain.

Rather, it is a joint tactic used by the demon race for large-scale warfare.

Similar to how the regular legions of the Human Alliance on the continent of Farns can unleash the immense power of the Great Knights when combined.

A large number of demon warriors gathered, and the fire element, which contained demonic power and was of a level comparable to the magic field, would ignite everything around them, even the air!

With his hands still busy, he also focused his gaze on the distant [Flame Domain] centered on the pillar-shaped teleportation gate, which was gradually expanding outwards with the numerous demon warriors.

The knight golem suddenly dodged a flying scythe hurtling towards it from a distance, then responded in a deep voice:

"Let the others evacuate first, I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion Man was initially helpless, but then he grinned.

He seemed to be laughing, yet his eyes were red and he spoke angrily:
"Take care! Otherwise, I'll definitely be torn in two by the enraged Dragon Emperor!"

As he spoke, he faced a great demon flying closer.

With a leap, the Golden Lion charged forward with a ferocious momentum.

After glancing at the clash between the two, he looked at another great demon approaching from afar, braving numerous ranged attacks.

Knowing he could no longer act as a cannon emplacement with impunity, Brand controlled the knight golem to leap towards the top of a nearby tower.

During this process, a sky-blue arrow, originating from the knight golem, swept towards the approaching great demon.

Immediately following, arrows burst forth and a storm raged.

After the great demon's senses were obscured, he roared and broke through quickly.

The great demon was astonished to find that the knight golem had vanished from his sight and senses.

At this moment, under the cover of the concealment barrier.

The knight golem, which had silently arrived at another platform near the Great Demon, put away its longbow and drew its short sword.

The icy blue crystal blade reflected a chilling light in the firelight.

The next moment, it gripped the short sword and thrust it straight ahead into the empty space.

As the light and shadow shifted, the sharp dagger easily pierced the back armor of the great demon who was searching for the knight golem, and then pierced his chest from behind.

At this moment, looking down at the short sword blade on his chest, which was constantly spreading terrifying ice elements, the Great Demon was filled with doubt and confusion.

—How did this human teleport directly behind him when he was surrounded by raging fire elements the whole time?
He was given no more time to think. The knight golem coldly drew his short sword, as if it were tearing the great demon's life away with it.

Then, he glanced at the great demon, who was stiff and falling to the ground.

The knight golem vanished once again in the firelight.
