Sovereign of the Firmaments

Silverstone town,

"Damn it…why is this barrier not getting destroyed?"

"Even with our combined attacks, the barrier is not budging even a little."

The old man and the royal generals were shocked when they saw that the barrier didn't get a single scratch even after combining all their attacks.

They cursed at the barrier and it was the only thing they could do right now.

"Old minister, what shall we do now?"

The head of the royal generals was not foolish to attack the barrier continuously even after seeing how strong it was.

So, he ordered the royal generals to stop attacking the barrier and at the same time, he asked the old man in front of him about their next move.

"What else? We will, of course, wait."

The old man was surprised only for a moment with such a strong golden barrier that was protecting the Silverstone town; however, he was still calm and asked the head of the royal generals to calm down.

"But…"

"Just wait. I feel such a strong barrier has its own limitations such as a weak spot on the barrier or the time limit."

Before the head of the royal generals could say anything, the old man interrupted his words as he continued, "Since the barrier is so big and trying to find its weakness is very time-consuming and energy-consuming. So, let's opt for the second option which is…"

"...to wait."

The head of the royal generals finished the old man's sentence with a slight smile on his face.

"Everyone, let's rest for now. These cowards can't escape anywhere."

With that order from the head of the royal generals, everyone settled on the ground waiting for the golden barrier to disappear.

'I hope this golden barrier will disappear before the effect of Heaven's bane stone disappears.'

Even though the old minister looked all-confident on the surface, he was worried about the Heavens because once the effect of heaven's bane stone disappears, the heavens could see that they were attacking the Silverstone town.

If that happens, not only would they receive Heavenly punishment but the Silverstone town also receive the protection from the Heavens and they could do nothing about it.

'No…how can this golden barrier last for such a long time?'

However, at the same time, the old man rejected that the golden barrier would not last for such a long time as he continued thinking to himself, 'If my guess is correct, the effect of Heaven's bane stone will last for 30-45 minutes and the golden barrier might at most last for 10 minutes. So, there is still a minimum of 20 minutes available for us to destroy the Silverstone town.'

Once the old man had done his calculations, he felt relieved as he waited for the golden barrier to disappear.

…..

Inside the town.

'Everyone, listen carefully about what I am going to say.'

Seeing that the old minister and the royal generals were not attacking the barrier, Lucas could guess that they had given up on attacking the barrier. So, he alerted everyone above lesser rank in their professions through voice transmission.

As soon as they heard Lucas' words, everyone became serious as they completely focused on Lucas' words in their heads.

'The barrier lasts for five minutes and the effects of Heaven's bane stone will last for 15 minutes. So, we still need to stop them for 10 minutes.'

Soon, Lucas started giving out orders to his followers and other strong members of the Silverstone town.

'Beck, summon all your spirit beasts and the spirit beasts with good camouflaging skills, order them to hide at the entrance of the town along with my dark and assassin type spirit beasts.'

'They need to come out only when all those b*stards enter the town and massacre them from the rear.'

'Reece, there is no need for you to hold back anymore. Porter and old man Bernard will also do the same. Kill the enemy in as few moves as possible before moving to the next target. Harper, you stay in the back and support Reece, Porter and old man Bernard with your spells.'

'Elemental lynxes will be the meat shield for everyone as they kill their way forward with their regenerating abilities.'

.

..

…

Lucas gave the orders for every single one of them. He didn't forget about the three guardian families of the Hellmore family as he also gave the orders to them.

Bryok and his men from the Darkfang family will hide in the shadows with the dark/ assassin type spirit beasts.

Jenson and his men from the Earthhelm family, who excel in the defence, were tasked to protect the young squads like Surge squad and Lightning squad while they gang up on their targets.

Kenal and his men from the Ambergaze family will follow the raging fire lynx and attack the injured royal generals from the attacks of the raging fire lynx.

Practically, everyone was tasked with something because Lucas was good at remembering everyone's abilities and it was not the first time they were all fighting together. 

So, by now, he more or less knows how to arrange the teams to get the high killing efficiency out of it.

Time continued to pass and in a flash, the golden barrier started disappearing.

"Everyone, prepare yourself. The barrier is finally disappearing."

"Yes, sir."

The men from the Crestlance family were, of course, happy to see the golden barrier disappear and stood up from the ground as they stretched their bodies to destroy the Silverstone town.

'Everyone, remember what I said. Don't panic. Stay calm all the time and it will be very easy to kill them.'

At the same time, Lucas also prepared his men for the incoming attack.

'Yes, family head.'

'Yes, Master.'

Everyone behind Lucas was also greatly excited because they wanted to test their battle prowess after receiving the blessings from the heavens.

Moreover, after hearing Lucas' plan and strategy, they felt even more confident in killing everyone from the Crestlance family even with their current numbers.

"Let's destroy the Silverstone town."

Soon, the golden barrier around the Silverstone town disappeared as all the royal generals rushed into the town.

However, no one from Lucas' side rushed forward because of the plan and allowed everyone from the Crestlance family to enter the town.

"Thud"

"Thud"

Except for the old minister and the head of the royal generals, everyone entered the Silverstone town.

"Now, let's kill everyone."

Lucas could tell that those two old men were not going to enter the town. So, he didn't waste any time as he ordered everyone to start attacking and killing the enemies.

'Roar'

The first two rushed into the battle were none other than the two elemental lynxes as they used the thunder knight's rage to temporarily increase their battle prowess for the next 10 minutes.

They already have the boost from Lucas' [Lynx master] and adding it with the [Thunder knight's rage], the two elemental lynxes completely became the perfect killing machines for Lucas as they killed all the royal generals in their way.

'Boom'

Next, it was raging fire lynx's turn as it used its explosive attacks to blast everyone in its way. Each attack killed multiple royal generals and severely injured dozens of royal generals.

The Ambergaze family members started fighting these severely injured men without any problem.

Phantom eagle, Blackwind panther, Three haunting ethereals, Netherworld's spider and similar type spirit beasts also came out of their hiding spots as they started a massacre from the rear.

The Winged white lion and the two winged white tigers were also fighting multiple royal generals without any problem as they killed their way forward.

From Lucas's side, mostly, the fight is done by the spirit beasts because he and Beck had a small army of spirit beasts with good strength.

Reece, Porter and the old man Bernard were swinging their swords; however, the old man Bernard was the only one who was doing the good damage.

"It's been a while for this old man to fight in such a battle. Finally, because of an earlier blessing from the heavens, my injury finally recovered."

That doesn't mean the humans were doing nothing. Among the humans, the old man Bernard was fighting for the first time with his full prowess.

"Family head, do you want to see the signature move of our Hellmore family?"

The old Bernard stopped attacking his targets for a moment as he replaced the huge sword in his hand with two short swords.

Also, he didn't forget to call Lucas before using the signature move of the Hellmore family.

'Huh? This old man is on fire today?'

It was Lucas' first time seeing the true battle prowess of Bernard and he knew that the reason behind it was Heaven's blessing.

Bernard was injured in the fight against the Lion talon family and his strength degraded to general knight; however, after receiving the blessing from the Heavens, not only did he make a breakthrough into the higher rank but he even became a tier 3 higher knight.

'Also, why is he using the short swords? Isn't his weapon a huge sword?'

This made Lucas raise his brows as he understood that the old man was hiding that he was a dual knight who was capable of using both the huge sword and the short swords.

'Even though the Hellmore family's signature move was in my memories, it was very vague. Let's see how powerful it is.'

Lucas was obviously curious about it as he looked at the old man Bernard.
