Chapter 4219
They were running away?
The sight before Lord Kenny filled him with sinister coldness.
Gonggong had utterly humiliated him. How could he let her escape the Hazel Hen Gate with her soldiers just like that?
’Heed my order!"
As he gritted his teeth through the pain, Lord Kenny soared into the air and called out, "Attack the Hazel Hen Gate at once and take down every soldier. No exceptions."
Lord Kenny snuck a glance at Yvette as he spoke. He fought to hold back the indignance and frustration in his heart.
What happened had been pretty embarrassing, but what mattered the most was taking down the Hazel Hen Gate as quickly as possible.
"Attack!"
As the word rang through the air, the 300,000 soldiers rushed toward the Hazel Hen Gate at once.
Meanwhile, at the New World palace.
There was a special tower in the northwest of the palace, known as the Prayer Tower. The tower's primary tones were red and black, and it stood out among the other gold and red towers.
The Prayer Tower was where the reigning emperor prayed to the gods. It was usually pretty deserted but was lined with royal soldiers at that moment. On top of that, many of the soldiers were also patrolling the surroundings.
Just then, a figure sat in the Prayer Tower.
He was clad in a long white robe, and his features were handsome and chiseled.
It was Skylar.
Skylar sat cross-legged with his eyes closed as a red fog rose from above his head.
There were lit white candles around him. His shadow flickered against their glow, making for a rather sinister sight.
Skylar had thought it through. If he improved his skill, he would be able to fend for himself if he had to come up against powerful opponents like Master Magaera, even if Archfiend Antigonus was not around.
Skylar made Lord Kenny grant him the Prayer Tower to use as his cultivation spot when he made that decision.
That was also why Skylar had not followed Lord Kenny in his attack on the North Moana Continent and blackmailed Yvette into helping him instead.
Just then, Skylar finished absorbing the last child's spirit. He opened his eyes slowly, utterly devoid of emotion.
"Rory."
Skylar opened his mouth and called out lightly.
As soon as his words rang through the air, a head guard rushed into the room. "Yes, Your Honor?"
Rory was one of the head guards in the palace, specially assigned by Lord Kenny to take care of Skylar's needs in his absence.
Skylar cast a glance at Rory and pointed to the bodies before him. "Are these all the children you have for today?"
