It was already midnight, and because of the ancient war, a curfew had already been imposed on the streets of the imperial capital.

Granero was so anxious that he whipped wildly, and without any pity for the horses under his crotch, he led hundreds of elites to gallop in the direction of the First Magic Tower in the center of the imperial capital, and the group galloped like a hurricane, and the sound of horses' hooves like a torrent thundered like thunder on the bluestone paved streets, cutting through the slightly quiet night sky.

The knight who was running at the front held the token of Emperor Yaxin in his hand, and shouted all the way: "The Imperial Capital Security Office borrows the way, His Majesty the Emperor's golden order is here, and it quickly dodges." ”

The horses' hooves rolled, and the checkpoints on the streets dodged far away.

In the direction of the four city walls in the distance, the sound of shouting and killing was still endless.

The Barcelona offensive was indeed the most ferocious time of the night.

In the blink of an eye, the First Magic Tower was already in sight.

This is the most majestic and towering building in St. Petersburg except for the Imperial Palace, the Knight's Hall and the Martial Saint Mountain, the orange magic aura is like a tangible thing, around the black magic tower like a javelin stuck in the ground slowly and orderly, within five thousand meters around, there are a large number of magic traps and environments, and there are more than 5,000 elite imperial troops stationed.

Seeing the intact First Magic Tower, Granero breathed a sigh of relief and sped forward.

"Someone stopped, approached a hundred paces, and immediately released the arrow!" A defensive castle five or six meters high appeared in front, and the soldiers stationed inside heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately shouted a warning, and at the same time prepared for an attack.

"Your Majesty's golden order is here!" the knight of the Imperial Capital Security Station held up the token before he was able to pass.

Granero rode his horse to the castle, and saw that the fortifications were extremely intact and did not look like they had been attacked, and his heart was slightly relaxed, and he casually asked, "Has anyone been in before this seat?"

"Report to your lordship, a quarter of an hour ago, the Fourth Prince, with about fifty guards from the Prince's Mansion, said that they had entered the center of the First Magic Tower on the orders of His Majesty!" replied the officer guarding the first checkpoint respectfully.

"What?" Granero changed color suddenly: "The fourth prince has been deposed by His Majesty Yasin, no one in the city knows, how can he be on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, damn it, why don't you stop ......"

Bang!

Before Granero could finish his sentence, there was a sudden strong tremor in the ground beneath his feet.

It's as if there's a prehistoric beast lurking beneath the ground, struggling to break through the ground.

The horses under the crotches of the knights were frightened, and they neighed and raised their front hooves, as if something terrible had happened.

It's just that at this time, Granero and the others can't care about these anymore.

Because the earth beneath your feet has become more and more violent.

With a rumbling sound, the hard ground suddenly became as soft as the surface of the water, making it difficult to stand.

What's even more terrifying is that the huge and magnificent miracle-like First Magic Tower thousands of kilometers away is also shaking violently, and the orange circles of light that linger on the towering tower body are breaking and crumbling and disappearing little by little!

"Magic Tower...... It's going to collapse?" said the soldiers stationed there, with a look of despair on their faces.

Everyone understands what the collapse of the First Magic Tower means to the Zenit people at this time - complete destruction and death.

Bang!

In the next moment, the sword-wielding statue of His Majesty the Emperor, which symbolized the strength of the empire at the top of the first magic tower, fell from a height of thousands of meters and smashed to the ground with a bang, and then, the body of the magic tower, which was extremely strong and said to never break, cracked open a series of pitch-black cracks visible to the naked eye, and a dazzling orange light burst out from it!

The piercing sound of magical alarms suddenly sounded over the entire imperial capital.

The sound sent the entire city into a state of uncontrollable fear.

"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Granero's heart was already cold.

"My lord, get out of here, the magic tower's energy is out of order, and it's about to explode!" an officer shouted in Granero's ear.

"Retreat, where can you retreat?" Granero's face turned pale and laughed miserably: "The city is about to be destroyed, the people of Barcelona are besieging the city on all sides, and we have nowhere to escape...... I'm a sinner in the Empire, I'm one step late, I'm guilty!"

As he spoke, the orange [Mother Earth Guardian] magic shield that shrouded the sky over the imperial capital, which symbolized safety and warmth, and the magic shield that could withstand the full attack of a demigod-level powerhouse, was cracking little by little like a broken eggshell, and the orange magic energy turned into pieces, falling towards the ground, and quickly disappeared in the sky.

Magic shield, broken!

St. Petersburg, too, it's over!

St. Petersburg, which has lost the [Mother Earth Guardian] magic array, is like a girl who has been stripped naked, and has no power to resist, so she can only be bullied by the Barcelonans.

If he could have found out the damn Eindhoven and Barcelona spies earlier, things would not have been so bad, and now that everything is over, he has betrayed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor and the tens of millions of people in the imperial capital...... Himself, buried all this.

Granero was eager to immediately swing his sword and kill himself in apology.

The only remaining reason allowed him to control this impulse.

After thinking about it for a while, he grabbed a confidant knight and whispered a few words.

"Take care, sir!" the knight agreed, pumped his horse wildly, turned and galloped, leaving the shock area.

Granero drew the long sword at his waist, and his eyes swept over the faces of his brothers who followed him: "Warriors, the hour of destruction has come, if you leave and flee for your life, you are not considered cowards, and if you choose to stay, then the time has come to serve the empire, let all fears turn into anger, join me, kill it, and kill the spies who destroyed the magic tower! This is the last thing we can do for the empire and our relatives!"

Granero shone with a dazzling fighting spirit.

The tremors became more and more violent, and it was no longer possible to ride a horse.

He rolled over and dismounted, and was the first to charge towards the collapsing magic tower.

"Swear to follow your lordship!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining knights rushed towards the collapsed magic tower like moths to a fire.

More than half of the more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the empire stationed in the magic tower were killed or wounded at this time.

But not one of them fled, drew his sword, sang the song of the empire, followed behind the knights, and rushed in.

"The humble life also has dignity, and my glory lies in the glorious history of the Empire's suffering, war, which can never make the Zenit retreat, the giant bear of the north, roar!"

The tragic singing echoed in the chaotic night sky.
