#372 - Chapter 371 Rebellion (Part 2)
In less than half a day, the Imperial City had fallen.
Sophia had every reason to believe that Karami had been planning this rebellion for a very long time.
He should be well-prepared to deal with all sorts of situations.
If one were to follow common sense, the best choice for the royal family to escape would be to seek out the many strong individuals who had left the capital.
Because only in this way would they have the means to confront him.
Therefore, at this time, the road to the Abyss Continent must be fraught with danger.
To actually go there would be no different from walking into a trap.
So Sophia decided to do the opposite and go directly to Windleaf City.
This would not only avoid Karami's eyes and ears, but also ensure her safety.
After all, Windleaf City was her home ground.
Moreover, with the help of the dwarves, Windleaf City had not only been rebuilt, but its strength was also completely different from before.
Without mentioning anything else, the elves and dwarves alone were forces to be reckoned with.
Of course, these two races only obeyed Ye Han.
But if anyone wanted to attack Windleaf City, they would have to ask them first.
"Let's go."
Time was of the essence, so after only a few minutes of hesitation, Sophia activated the hidden teleportation array to Windleaf City and left the Imperial City.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after she left, a troop of cavalry rushed into the palace and began searching frantically.
"Captain, no sign of anyone."
"Don't know where they ran off to, we've searched everywhere, not a single living soul."
After searching, they came up empty-handed, and the group reported to their leader.
"Damn it!"
The leading knight's eyes were gloomy. He knew all too well how much Karami coveted the legendary Empire's most beautiful woman, Princess Sophia.
Now that the mission had failed, he feared that things would not go well for him back home.
"Where did she go? Find out for me!"
The leading knight roared in exasperation, "If she really gets away, you all know the consequences."
"Yes!"
The crowd scattered and began a carpet search.
Soon.
"Captain, we found it."
"There are residual magical fluctuations from a teleportation array here. I analyzed the runes on it, and the general direction is Windleaf City."
"That woman must have escaped to Windleaf City."
A knight who was proficient in teleportation analyzed Sophia's movements through some remaining clues.
"Then hurry and chase after her! Teleport me!"
The leader roared.
"Captain, this teleportation array has been destroyed, we can't follow her," the man said with a wry smile.
"Waste!"
The leader's eyes darkened, knowing that the mission had completely failed.
"Two people stay here to keep watch, the rest of you, come back with me."
He didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly took his men back to report, wanting to deliver the news as soon as possible.
"Oh? Went to Windleaf City?"
"As expected."
Soon, the leading knight returned to Karami's side and told him everything that had happened.
However, to his surprise, Karami didn't seem surprised at all when he heard the news of Sophia's escape, but instead looked as if he had expected it.
"Could it be that you foresaw this, my lord?" he asked respectfully.
"Of course, it's not surprising."
Karami smiled slightly, playing with the long sword in his hand with a playful expression, "That place, Windleaf City, is not simple..."
With that, he closed his mouth and looked into the distance, towards the direction of Windleaf City.
This was no exaggeration, he had expected Sophia's movements long ago.
However, he did not prevent it in advance.
Firstly, compared to capturing Sophia, taking the palace was definitely a higher priority, even if he had foreseen it, he couldn't be in two places at once.
It was still better to take the Imperial City firmly first.
He wouldn't do the stupid thing of losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
Secondly...
Even if Sophia escaped into Windleaf City, so what?
It would only delay things a little, it wouldn't delay the overall situation.
After all, one of Karami's important goals was to eliminate Ye Han, so there was no reason to let Windleaf City, which was closely related to the latter, go.
In other words, the second target after taking the Imperial City was Windleaf City itself.
This would not change regardless of whether Sophia escaped to Windleaf City or not.
Now it was good, it was just like catching a turtle in a jar.
"I'd like to see how that pretty boy Ye Han can help you this time."
Karami grinned and muttered in a low voice, "Whoever comes, dies."
"Pass down my order, let the Third Army and the Ninth Army go to Windleaf City with me."
"This time, I will uproot this place!"
He quickly issued instructions, gathering an incredibly powerful force.
Whoosh!
At the same time, several figures with powerful auras but little vitality, like puppets, appeared out of thin air beside him.
These figures were the assistance Karami had obtained from the evil gods.
Their combat power was definitely at the god level!
It was precisely because he had such a terrifying force that he was confident that he could take Windleaf City.
"By the way, how is the Darknight Evil Temple doing?" Karami asked.
"They have already set off for Windleaf City." A cold, emotionless voice came from one of the figures, with black air swirling between his lips and teeth.
Karami nodded, then looked at the other figures, "What about the other places?"
"The same, the people from the Vortex Hall have already set off."
"And the Sun Moon..."
What he received was also a definite answer.
"This time, the general trend is truly irreversible." Karami smiled slightly, his eyes full of arrogance.
Yes, in addition to the forces under his command, other evil cults were also approaching Windleaf City.
Their target was undoubtedly Ye Han.
Although Ye Han was not there at the moment, in such a chaotic situation, many evil cults had risen up, and no other force could stop them.
Then, uprooting Windleaf City, which Ye Han relied on, was also a good choice.
So, under the leadership of the evil gods, the continent became even more chaotic.
In particular, the degree to which these believers were brainwashed was terrifying, and even the temptation of the Holy Judgment tools was somewhat inferior to faith.
In other words, Windleaf City was about to face one complete evil cult after another.
This was destined to be an unequal war.
"Ye Han, ah Ye Han..."
"Being an enemy of me, Karami, is destined to be your end."
"This time, I don't believe you can make any waves."
Karami smiled brightly.
It was no exaggeration to say that, with the support of the evil gods, the power he possessed was extremely terrifying.
Even if Ster and other god-level powerhouses loyal to the royal family returned, he would not be afraid.
Just a mere Ye Han?
No matter how high his potential was, what waves could he make?
He really couldn't imagine how an eighty-fifth level person could break the situation.
