The figure of three people shuttled off at high speeds!
They arrived at the city gates instantly.
The city gates were closed. Only when Maxwell brought out a jade plate that Adam had given him previously was he allowed out.
"There cannot be any mistakes, and they have to be precisely the positions I've mentioned. Drop off all the items I gave you and don't save any of them on your person. Do you guys understand?" Maxwell once again advised them.
Godfrey and Constantine nodded and said, "Understood!"
In fact…
They both had no clue what Maxwell was trying to do.
They both thought they were exiting the city to slaughter devil fiends to their heart's content and never imagined they were going out to do labour work.
What made them completely lost was all this good stuff, like earth-grade and spirit-grade upgrade weapons, having to be thrown away. This… They both had grown up in poverty, so seeing all these good things being thrown out made their hearts ache like crazy.
"Good!"
"We will split up and take action. Once you've finished as instructed, immediately return to the city and don't stay out here. And you definitely aren't allowed to head to the battlefield, do you both understand?" Maxwell's tone was very serious since he was worried Constantine couldn't stand being so bored and would rush out there.
Constantine faintly smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss. I know what we're encountering right now, so I won't give you any extra trouble."
Godfrey also faintly smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, we will keep the big picture in mind above all else."
Maxwell then said: "Good! We'll take action now!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two figures darted off from Maxwell's left and right sides. Maxwell then looked into the distance at the dark pressure emanating from the southeastern direction, clearly showing that the aura of the devilish flames had surged into the sky. He then said to himself, "You guys need to hold on. Arthur, you're my father-in-law, so you cannot die!"
Maxwell was worried.
Extremely worried.
But he currently had no time to concern himself with the battlefield situation where Arthur was.
The only thing he could do right now was to protect the Capital City. As long as the Capital City stands, then the Evans Kingdom will exist. Once the Capital City is gone, then that will spell the end of the Kingdom. And wars would certainly erupt all over the territories of the Evans Kingdom as a result.
By that time, the common citizen will truly be plunged into a life of misery and suffering.
Maxwell became serious as he too took action.
If he was able to succeed…
Who knows what kind of rank he would level up to?
Maxwell descended to a certain location and dropped off a bunch of magical artefacts and upgraded weapons. Energy started condensing at the palm of his hand before he slammed down onto the ground, smashing all those treasures deep into the earth. After burying those items, he quickly left and arrived at another location.
Constantine and Godfrey were both doing the same thing.
The three of them got busy doing their task.
Inside the city.
A flurry of actions was underway in an orderly manner.
Blindman Dale drummed up support, and many people started standing up to join him. When one's country was in trouble, those experts who originally put on airs shelved their airs to help out.
"Count me in!"
"Isn't it just the Devil Sealing Array? My Kingdom had stood for ten thousand years, so what is a mere Devil Sealing Array considered?"
"Count me in! Even though my cultivation is only at level 10 Ancestor rank, I need to play my part when my country is in crisis."
"There's also me!"
One joined after another.
Northern city, southern city, eastern city, western city; continuous experts joined up. They were typically figures with inflated egos, yet they dropped that facade and followed behind Blindman Dale. Everyone's expression was especially determined.
When one's country is in trouble, the citizens share a common responsibility to assist.
Over to those schools set up by Sects.
No one was seen at the Cold Sea Sect. Lilith went to drum up support with the other schools and finally persuaded some people.
Gradually, the number of people joining those schools began to increase.
Their Sects weren't sending reinforcements, and they couldn't change that. They, too, had a stomach full of anger because they felt abandoned. Lilith used this point against them and persuaded those strong instructors to join their cause.
Brenda, Arianna, and Lois; those three in their own little group were even more successful.
They barely encountered any obstacles.
"Uncle, please just sell it to us."
"Grandpa, we really need those spiritual herbs."
"This beautiful elder sister…"
Everyone who encountered Brenda had their defences melted by her cute, adorable looks.
Not only were they selling the spiritual herbs at low prices, but they were also giving quite a bit of them to the girls for free.
It wasn't just the herbal stores…
Those upgrade weapon stores, big trading partners, and various associations were all stepping up in support. Everyone's hearts were united when facing such a crisis. This was one of the reasons the Evans Kingdom has stood strong for the past ten thousand years.
Gradually…
More and more people gathered in the city's main square, and items were stacked up like a mountain.
The people here were all filled with battle intent.
Their hearts were in unrest as they heard the sounds of slaughtering and dying outside the city.
Everyone finished the task Maxwell assigned them, except Adam.
The sky slowly turned dark.
Maxwell, Constantine, and Godfrey returned to the city centre, where over a hundred thousand martial artists congregated. These martial artists were all at or above the Spirit rank, and there were also a hundred thousand cultivators below the Spirit rank on standby.
Looking at so many people, Maxwell felt a huge rush inside his heart.
"We have a chance!"
"There's definitely a chance!"
Maxwell's heart tightened as he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Standing at an elevated place, Maxwell shouted: "Everyone in this City doesn't need to worry. I will definitely protect this place and not let those damn devil fiends invade the city. This, I promise with my life!"
Maxwell's voice contained the power of the Wild Beast Destroyer Technique, so it was transmitted to every corner of the Capital City.
Everyone heard Maxwell's voice.
All the people in the square were staring at him.
Many people recognised Maxwell and shouted in excitement: "I recognise him! He's the one who suppressed the Cold Sea Sect's junior sect leader Baldur! He is really strong, and the power he possesses is too fierce!"
"Hahaha… what is suppressing Baldur considered? He's the man that even the huge ancient devil bowed down to! He was way too cool when he was in Northern City!"
"Those things don't count for shit! When I was in the Great Alliance's auction house, I personally saw him kill an expert at the peak Venerate rank! It was actually one of the Protectors of the Great Alliance – Travis Greene! How powerful do you think he is if he can even kill an expert at the peak Venerate rank?"
"Those things you have all mentioned are truly not considered much."
"Princess Lasting Peace, Cold Sea Sect's sexy fairy, that lolita cute enough to send people to their deaths, and that fur-tailed race woman so beautiful that she could make one suffocate; they are all following him by their own free will! Now that's what a real man is all about. Prince Consort, from today onwards, this one called will start worshipping you."
Countless voices of discussion were heard.
Maxwell's deeds were quickly spreading. When those people who only knew about the incidents but didn't recognise Maxwell's face were all staring at him, seeing a youth who was less than twenty years old, they couldn't help but feel a sense of worship towards him.
Maxwell's ability to summon supporters had upgraded to an unprecedented level!
At this time…
A little eunuch from the royal palace anxiously rushed over and said, "Prince Consort, you need to respond quickly. Adam and the other Princes have started to fight amongst themselves."
Maxwell swept his gaze about and found that Adam wasn't in position, and his 50,000 palace guards hadn't appeared yet. He couldn't help but grow anxious, since those 50,000 palace guards were the elite he had been counting on and the key to this battle's victory. Nothing can happen to them!
He instantly rushed out.
