Chapter 894 Patron Saint
"So, all we can do now is wait patiently?"
Su Chen countered with a question.
"Yes."
Liu Guang nodded slightly.
"OK then."
Su Chen shrugged.
However, he did not intend to stop there. He blew the Horn of the Abyss again, sending the Black Shark Whales to crash into the city's protective array!
Despite being repeatedly rammed by nearly a hundred black shark whales, the silver barrier did not tremble in the slightest, demonstrating just how sturdy it was!
No wonder Atlantis used it as a last resort.
I reckon you'd need at least C+ combat power to break through the silver barrier, right?
Su Chen guessed and temporarily gave up the idea of attacking.
Using the Horn of the Abyss requires a vast amount of mental energy.
Su Chen had only been blowing for a short while, and his mental energy was almost completely drained.
If it weren't for the energy storage runes, it would have been completely depleted long ago.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Chen sat down cross-legged and began to recover his mental energy.
But Liu Guang and Yi Chen, who were standing nearby, were not idle.
They, in the names of Princess and General Iwagaku respectively, incorporated the entire Atlantean army that had given up resistance.
In this way, even if Su Chen no longer mobilizes the Black Shark Whale swarm, they still have the advantage in terms of troop strength.
Next, we just need to patiently wait for changes to occur in the capital.
……
In the palace.
Mo Yuan stared blankly at the guard.
"You...what did you say?"
"Reply to Your Majesty."
The guards kept their heads down, not daring to look directly at Mo Yuan.
"General Anrui was killed by the rebels, and the remaining troops all chose to surrender!"
"What?! These bastards! These useless trash!"
Mo Yuan's eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed the things on the table and threw them around haphazardly.
The guards were startled and quickly retreated from the palace.
After venting for a while, Mo Yuan leaned weakly against the throne.
He just couldn't understand how he, with an army of two or three hundred thousand, could be defeated so decisively!
How could that human named Su Chen summon so many black shark whales?
Could he be the legendary Leviathan?
After calming down, Mo Yuan began to consider his options.
He only has a few thousand soldiers at his disposal now, and he is no match for Su Chen at all.
Although the city's protective formation is indestructible, it cannot last indefinitely.
Maintaining this state for even a moment requires consuming a large amount of raw materials.
With the kingdom's reserves, it can only last for a day at most!
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to ask our guardian angels for help!
A glint of madness flashed in Mo Yuan's eyes!
Just then, several sharp shouts suddenly came from outside.
"who?"
"stop!"
"what……"
After a series of screams, chaotic footsteps came from outside the palace.
When Mo Yuan raised his head and looked over, he saw four princes leading a troop of soldiers, barging straight into the palace.
"Four princes, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Yuan stared coldly at the four of them.
The four showed no fear and responded with the same cold smiles.
"Means nothing."
"Mo Yuan, you have destroyed the traditions of Atlantis and made such a mess of the kingdom."
"We urge you to surrender immediately and abdicate!"
Just as Liu Guang had predicted, seeing Mo Yuan's defeat, they were forced to activate the city's protective formation.
The four princes realized that their chance to overthrow Mo Yuan had arrived.
So they organized an army to attack the palace.
Even if we can't kill Mo Yuan, as long as we close the city's protective array and let Su Chen and Liu Guang in, that's fine!
"You four old codgers?"
Mo Yuan looked disdainful and twirled a ring on his hand.
This ring has been passed down through generations of kings. It not only represents the king's status, but also enhances one's power.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
The four princes gripped their weapons tightly and pressed closer to Mo Yuan step by step.
If it were a one-on-one fight, Mo Yuan would not be afraid of the four princes.
But if he were to fight four opponents alone, he would actually find it quite difficult.
After hesitating for a moment, Mo Yuan reached out and pressed his hand on the armrest of the throne.
"Crack!"
As the mechanism was activated, a flash of blue light appeared.
The four princes only felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, Mo Yuan's figure had already disappeared without a trace!
They were completely dumbfounded!
"You just let him get away like that?"
"Oh! What a pity!"
"Never mind that for now, go and deactivate the city's protective array, and let Princess Liuguang and the others in!"
After a brief discussion, the four princes headed towards the small house behind the palace.
After they removed the original stones from the city's protective array, the silver pillar of light that had pierced the sky vanished instantly.
At the same time, the silver shield covering the royal city gradually disappeared!
Seeing this, Su Chen, Liu Guang, and the others outside the city realized that something had happened inside the city.
Without hesitation, they immediately led their army into the royal city.
The residents of the royal city hid in their houses, not daring to come out at all.
Su Chen and his group successfully entered the palace.
After meeting with the four princes, they understood the whole story.
"What a pity, if only we could capture Mo Yuan!"
Yi Chen said with a regretful expression.
Although they captured the royal city, Mo Yuan was still the nominal king, especially since he possessed the ring that symbolized his royal status.
If Mo Yuan were to escape and gather troops from various garrisons, it would create a lot of trouble.
"I think Mo Yuan probably didn't flee."
Liuguang looked at the empty throne.
"What do the four princes think?"
"Our views are similar to those of Her Highness."
One of the princes nodded slightly.
"Based on our guess, he must have gone to seek the help of his guardian deity!"
"Patronus?"
The other Atlantean members present were all taken aback.
They had heard stories about guardian spirits before.
But they basically all regard the guardian deity as a legend!
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
He remembered the information about the dragon he had obtained in the underwater prison.
If I remember correctly, after helping Atlantis seal Leviathan, the Chi was revered as a guardian deity by the creatures of Atlantis!
Could the guardian deity they're talking about be the Chi?
"In fact, the guardian deity is real, and only the kings of each generation and the four princes know about it."
The four princes exchanged glances and slowly revealed the secret.
Their account was similar to what Su Chen had seen in the underwater prison.
In ancient times, Leviathan led a horde of black shark whales to wreak havoc on Atlantis.
In order to quell the disasters they brought, Atlantis asked its guardian deity for help.
After resolving the problem of Leviathan, the guardian deity silently protected Atlantis.
Successive kings passed down oral decrees that in any emergency, one could request the help of the guardian deity.
However, after the guardian deity intervenes, Atlantis will need to provide a large amount of resources.
Unless absolutely necessary, Atlantis rarely sought the help of its guardian deity.
