This thunderous shout resounded throughout the entire capital, and almost everyone heard it.

It turns out that this mysterious and powerful figure is none other than King of Chambord Alexander, who has recently been a subject of mixed reputation in the capital. The reason he is attacking the capital against all odds is, apparently, because he is after the eldest prince Arshavin. To address an imperial prince by his name in front of millions of imperial citizens as a mere subject is a grave offense.

Recently, rumors of a power struggle between the Crown Prince and the King of Chambord have been circulating widely, even among the common people. It seems the rumors are true; the relationship between these two rising stars of the empire has reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.

But what exactly did the eldest prince do to provoke King of Chambord into such a furious state that he traveled thousands of miles to storm the capital?

What shocked countless people secretly watching was that King of Chambord's strength had become so terrifying. He calmly Dodge the attacks of tens of thousands of top-level magical defenses from the capital, and even managed to fly through the void... Remember the Martial Combat Competition more than half a year ago? King of Chambord's strength was only Six-Star Class. How could he have advanced to the Moon Class in just half a year?

This news may have been known to some people for a long time.

But for most people, in a world where information isn't readily available, this scene was truly shocking.

"If King of Chambord had enough time to grow, he might have reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Unfortunately... he is still young, and his actions tonight were too impulsive. Attacking the capital is an unforgivable crime. We have faith in the power of the royal family; they can ultimately suppress this blatant rebellion. King of Chambord's fate remains the same: death!"

This is what many people think.

The city walls and gates of the imperial capital.

After Sun Fei's loud shout, some experts indeed paused their attacks.

After all, King Chambord is one of the most promising young masters in the empire. It is said that he once single-handedly captured the assassin who attempted to kill the empire's martial saint, Krasich. He also single-handedly defended the empire's northwestern border with a group of rabble, laying a solid foundation for the victories in the wars in the empire's southern and southwestern borders. He can be considered one of the heroes of the empire's rise. Since he has no intention of attacking the city, there is no need to attack him.

However, some people are not buying it.

Regardless, brazenly flying over the no-fly zone above the capital and causing such a commotion was already the biggest blunder. Moreover, for those who favored the First Prince's faction, taking this opportunity to eliminate the King of Chambord was the best thing that could happen. Immediately, some powerful experts shouted, ordering the soldiers and the crowd to take action.

Waves of energy ripped through the sky, and clusters of multicolored flames shot up from the city walls, surging towards Sun Fei in mid-air.

"Damn King of Chambord... I'm one of them... Alas... My life is over!" Military Department envoy Mataisen was being held by Sun Fei, unable to struggle. Seeing countless waves of power engulfing and crushing him, he quickly closed his eyes, a wave of fear washing over him, and he cursed and howled in his heart.

However, at this critical moment, Sun Fei accelerated his speed as he flew towards the city wall.

He seemed eager to deliberately crash into the terrifying attack waves created by the combined forces of thousands of people.

That's practically suicide!

Just when everyone thought King of Chambord had gone mad, a strange change occurred. Suddenly, transparent ripples appeared in the sky, and an extremely strange stone throne appeared beneath King of Chambord's feet. The throne was carved with exquisite patterns, and statues of warriors and goddesses served on either side of the steps, as if it were the throne of the king of gods looking down on the mortal world from the heavens.

Protected by this strange stone seat, King of Chambord's figure flickered and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Disappeared... disappeared?"

"What happened? Did they escape?"

"That stone seat... what exactly is it? Why does it give me an aura of... sacredness and inviolability?"

On the city wall, all the Star Class experts sensed an extremely strange atmosphere. The sudden disappearance of King of Chambord made them detect a very ominous feeling, especially the strange white stone seat, which shocked their minds.

Just then--

"Look, he's there... Unbelievable, unbelievable! How did he do that? He actually passed right through the city's protective magic barrier? This... Could it be Blink by Great Sun-Rank Venerable? Spatial Blink?"

A powerful expert with the strength of Six-Star Class expert suddenly pointed at the void behind the city wall, which was protected by an orange magical light curtain, and exclaimed in shock.

Everyone turned to look, and they were all stunned.

King of Chambord... He not only dodged countless attacks, but also silently passed through the magical protective barrier and entered the heavily guarded skies above the capital. Such a feat was truly unbelievable. Even the legendary, supposedly invincible Great Sun-Rank Venerable expert could not possibly break through this magical protective barrier so effortlessly.

After King of Chambord broke through and entered the defensive perimeter, everyone tensed up.

In this way, the imperial capital, Saint Petersburg, is like a virgin stripped naked, completely defenseless. A single expert at the Moon Class could bring catastrophic destruction to the entire capital.

In that instant of astonishment, they saw the silver ripples in the distance spread out once more, and King of Chambord and the magical stone throne beneath his feet vanished into the void once more.

The next instant, Sun Fei's figure finally appeared in the sky above the Imperial Military Department Headquarters.

[ Throne of Chaotic Times ] floated lightly and elegantly in the void a thousand meters above the ground. Sun Fei's tall and imposing figure stood on the stone throne, like a god sitting on the clouds. He looked down, his eyes shooting out silver-white light, like two beams of light that pierced through the thick night and enveloped the figure in black military uniform at the entrance of the Military Department' high platform stone hall below.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Someone roared angrily from the ground, and with a single command, more than a dozen magical crossbow bolts simultaneously pierced the sky from various buildings in the Military Department, shooting towards Sun Fei.

Sun Fei simply waved his hand lightly.

This casual action, as if shooing away flies, immediately caused all the magical crossbow bolts to fall erratically to the ground, like winter wheat or rice husks swept by a hurricane. With a series of loud crashes, the specially made heavy crossbow bolts smashed through many houses.

An invincible presence!

Below, Crown Prince Arshavin sensed the intense killing intent in Sun Fei's eyes. His expression was both angry and solemn. Behind him, more than a dozen Military Department leaders swallowed hard, their eyes revealing deep apprehension.

" Alexander, trespassing into the capital, attacking the Military Department, and disregarding imperial laws and military law—what audacity!"

Arshavin's black cloak billowed wildly in the night wind. Unlike Sun Fei, he couldn't stand still in the void, but a fierce and ruthless aura, clearly visible even in the darkness, surged from his body. Facing the powerful pressure from the sky, the God of War displayed his strength and pride, raising his head to glare angrily. His questioning voice, amplified by his Dou Qi, roared like thunder and carried far and wide.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha, you dare to discuss imperial laws and warlords with me?" High in the sky, Sun Fei laughed wildly, as if he had heard something ridiculous. His laughter echoed throughout the capital, saying, "You think I came here today to talk to you about this bullshit? When you were on the Northwest front, plotting to slaughter the empire's most loyal soldiers, did you ever think about imperial laws? The conflict between us has to drag them into it. You, unworthy of being a prince, truly deserve to die!"

"How dare you treat His Highness the Crown Prince in such a manner!"

"Hmph, you little King, you're asking for death! Get down here now..."

Amidst the angry shouts, two dark figures suddenly shot up from the Military Department building, streaking towards Sun Fei's location like shooting stars. These two were capable of standing in the void, indicating they were at least New Moon Class experts. Taking advantage of Sun Fei Fei's momentary lapse in attention, they launched a surprise attack. Wielding Dou Weapon, their two sinister blades gleamed under the bright moonlight, radiating a terrifying aura.

"Get lost!" Sun Fei slammed down a punch, scoffing, "What business is a stray dog like you interrupting when your master is speaking?"

A powerful force descended from above, overwhelming and unstoppable. The two figures who had launched the sneak attack immediately fell like kites with broken strings, coughing up blood as they plummeted to the ground, crashing into several buildings.

"What?! Two powerful guardians of the Imperial Senate have been defeated just like that?"

On the ground, the Military Department leaders were utterly horrified. Their eyes were filled with indescribable horror as they stared at the god-like figure in the sky. Clearly, King of Chambord's power far exceeded their expectations, and some of the more astute among them began to realize that things were not as simple as many had previously thought.

" Arshavin, what other tricks and schemes do you have up your sleeve? Show them all tonight! Don't you want to get rid of me as soon as possible? Otherwise people will say I didn't give you a chance, hmph!"

Sun Fei's cold words were like steel knives, piercing the Crown Prince's heart.

His Majesty the God of War of the Empire, the first in line to the throne, possessing boundless power and a vast army, suddenly felt powerless at this moment, because he couldn't even threaten the person in the sky, that damned guy who had made him lose face.

"What? You've run out of ideas? I'll give you a gift first!"

Sun Fei's words were cold and ruthless.

As he spoke, he tossed something down.
