Chapter 020: Annihilation

“And take good care of your mother,” said Old Green, smiling as if relieved.
Faint, intense glimmers of starlight began to float away from Old Green, hovering in the air. Soon, as more and more starlight appeared, Old Green’s body started to disappear from beneath his feet. With each part of his body vanishing, it turned into a massive amount of starlight that spread throughout the space.
No one knew what Old Green’s final thoughts were.
In his last moments, this once formidable king, the King of the North, remained calm, showing no trace of sadness or despair at being about to go to another world!
Moreover, behind his calm smile, there was even a sense of anticipation! What was Old Green anticipating?
“Father!” George and Allen cried out in unison as they watched Old Green disappear before their eyes.
The entire room was now filled with starlight!
Soon, Andelman and the four priests suddenly realized they could no longer move! The dense clusters of starlight seemed to freeze the entire space. The brilliant starlight filling the room acted like a complete, independent star domain, trapping those inside completely.
“What did your father do to us?” Andelman cried in horror.
“What’s our Green family’s ultimate technique? Even if you’re all domain masters, what can you do?” George said coldly. “Since you used despicable tactics to attack my father, prepare to die with him!”
“That’s impossible! Your father is only a saint-level expert. How could his strength possibly trap me?” Andelman shouted.
As soon as he spoke, all five domain masters from the Church emitted a milky white light. It seemed they intended to use their energy to break through the space sealed by Old Green’s star domain power before his death.
Soon, Andelman and the others realized that under the seal of the star domain power, their own domain spaces couldn’t be expanded at all!
Star energy was no ordinary energy—it was far superior to regular combat energy. Back when helping Du Fan resist the power of the sun, Old Green, at the saint level, had held out longer than domain master Bishop Anthony.
And this time, Old Green was using a secret technique passed down only within the Green family!
This technique was called “Starfield Collapse”!
If even the starfield was about to collapse, how could anything inside survive?

In the eyes of Andelmann and the four powerful realm masters of the Church, those starlights kept crashing toward them. Each tiny starlight contained an unimaginable force! This force continuously eroded and destroyed Andelmann’s and the four priests’ bodies!
The starlights, as if possessed of a will of their own, kept bypassing George and Allen’s bodies and heading straight for Andelmann and the four realm masters!
By the time George and Allen could move again, what stood before them were five bloodied figures—Andelmann and the four elite realm masters of the Church, severely injured by Old Green’s “Starfield Collapse” technique.
“Starfield Collapse” could kill someone even of a higher rank. The powerful energy unleashed at the moment of death meant that even those above one’s own rank couldn’t escape its impact!
However, Old Green had unleashed “Starfield Collapse” on all five realm masters at once. If he had been facing only Andelmann, Andelmann would surely have been killed by it!
But against these five realm masters who excelled in defense, Old Green’s life-consuming attack could only inflict severe injuries on them.
Severely injured, the four elite priests of the Church had completely lost the ability to move—their injuries were too grave!
Meanwhile, George and Allen hadn’t suffered any harm after the “Starfield Collapse.”
“Kill them!” A long spear appeared in Allen’s hand as he leaped forward, stabbing at the head of one of the realm masters nearby!
“Damn you, Light Church!” Although George seemed more composed than Allen, witnessing his father being betrayed and killed right before his eyes filled him with even greater rage than Allen’s. Wielding his long spear, he also stabbed at the chest of the nearest realm master!
The two Church masters trapped by George and Allen’s spears showed expressions of horror as the spear tips, growing larger in their vision, touched their bodies!
Faced with George and Allen’s spears, the two realm masters unleashed their final reserves of strength. When George and Allen’s spears pierced their bodies, it felt as though they were stabbing into solid sandbags—progressing slowly rather than instantly ending their lives!

With a loud shout, George and Allen unleashed even more intense Star Combat Qi! With two consecutive bursts, the head of one of the domain masters shattered like a smashed watermelon, splintering into pieces as red and white fluids flowed out! The other domain master was pierced right through the chest and thrown high into the air! “Elder Li! Elder Wang!” Andelman cried out loudly! The elders of the Church rarely intervened. Although they usually spent their time in meditation, they held great prestige within the Church! The deaths of these two elders on their missions would pose a serious threat to Andelman’s future status in the Church! Enduring the intense pain, Andelman suddenly threw out a magic scroll that emitted a bright glow. As the light flickered, Andelman and the two remaining Church domain masters were instantly transported away! “Second brother, let’s go! We’re heading to the barracks!” George shouted and flew straight toward the barracks! It was a sneak attack—pure and simple! Standing in the air and watching the battle below, George and Allen were filled with anger and sorrow! Countless people from Tiger City, led by the members of the Light Church faction, relentlessly attacked the soldiers of the Northern Legion! Flames engulfed the entire camp, spreading inward, while the Tiger City fighters, led by the Church, guarded the exits, killing any soldiers from the Northern Legion who tried to escape! Among those attacking the Northern Legion were many former soldiers from Tiger Country. Their killing methods and combat skills were far beyond those of ordinary people! Even though they were caught off guard in the dead of night and surrounded by flames, the soldiers of the Northern Legion did not panic excessively! The generals quickly organized their troops and charged outward. Soon, George and Allen in the air noticed that the number of Church fighters had reached nearly 30,000! Among them, over 5,000 were warriors with distinct uniforms and weapons—these 5,000 knights were none other than the famous Sacred Light Knights of the continent!

The Holy Light Knights are an army capable of competing with the Black Panther Knights! Although their combat strength is slightly inferior to that of the Black Panther Knights, their numbers are much larger! The Holy Light Knights of the Church maintain a force of fifty thousand members! These five thousand Holy Light Knights already represent one-tenth of the entire force, and such a number is already quite impressive for the Northern Legion. Even under the encirclement by the Holy Light Knights, many soldiers from the Northern Legion managed to break through, but they were immediately surrounded by the residents of Tiger City and the warriors from the former Tiger Principality! In the flames, even more soldiers from the Northern Legion were burned to death! “Second brother, go rescue the east side; I’ll rescue the south side. Then we’ll break out together through the east gate!” George shouted loudly. “Okay!” Allen replied. “Soldiers of the Northern Legion! All of you head east or south! Allen and I will come to support you!” George shouted in the air. Hearing George’s call, the besieged soldiers of the Northern Legion responded in unison, “As ordered by our young master!” Soon, the soldiers of the Northern Legion stopped charging aimlessly and focused their efforts on advancing south and east! To the east, Allen rode on a Frost Armor Beast, wielding a long spear, leading like a magical beast descending from the heavens, killing one after another of the Holy Light Knights who were encircling the Northern Legion with his spear! To the south, George took the lead, holding a long spear to clear the path, with a giant ape following behind, roaring fiercely! The members of the Holy Church around the ape were continuously knocked aside! As domain masters along with their magical beasts, George and Allen were unstoppable, but there were too many enemies in Tiger City. Even if George and Allen remained unharmed, the soldiers of the Northern Legion around them would likely be wiped out! After gathering their forces, George and Allen shouted loudly and charged forward, with the remaining soldiers of the Northern Legion rushing toward the south gate of Tiger City! Approaching the south gate and seeing its tightly closed doors, Allen frowned and threw his long spear with force. The spear flashed brightly as it struck the wall of Tiger City’s south gate.

With a loud “boom,” the southern city gate, along with a section of the wall, was shattered, creating a gap of nearly forty meters. George and Allen led the northern army to quickly cross this gap and leave!
…
“I remember, when I was thirteen, I once went out of the palace incognito in the capital…” In the Prince of Zhenbei’s mansion, Angel continued to speak quietly.
Thinking about how she was about to become a woman, Angel became so talkative that she seemed to have endless things to say.
After nearly an hour, she was still only talking about when she was thirteen.
“Hmm, and then?” Du Fan was anxious but had no choice but to sit there and listen to Angel’s story.
“Hmm, while I was playing, I suddenly saw…” Angel started talking again non-stop.
…
“Master, what time is it now?” Nearly an hour later, Fischer was still full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue.
“Your Highness, it’s already 1:20 a.m.” Abraham said.
“Hmm, it’s almost time. Master, let’s set off!” Fischer said suddenly with a smile.
Suddenly, Fischer stood up again and whispered, “Facing my fairy-like sister, what might Du Fan be doing at this moment?”
