Dozens of silver light beams descended from the sky to surround the Ancestral Voight Palace. A total of one-hundred Saint-level experts appeared. Thirty of which stood at the Fate Wrestling Saint Rank or above.

　　Leading them was Adalwin whose body bathed in blue star force. Behind him, three leading paragon spirits stood.

　　The dowager, and now head exarch Amalia.

　　Olrich's uncle, and one of the secluded von Jurgen elders, Adalbert. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

　　And lastly, a handsome paragon spirit man that seemed to be in his mid-thirties. Amalia's little brother and Verena's father, Sovereign Prince Thorwald Kva.s.s. He brought alongside him the elite of house Kva.s.s above the Holy Rank; clearly intending to support his sister and the von Jurgens against all foes.

　　His daughter included.

　　No one found this surprising. After all, all knew that the only thing able to trump Thorwald's love for benefit was his affection for his elder sister.

　　Before the spirit battalion landed, Adalwin cast a formless force field and mirage that suppressed all noise in the vicinity and prevented those beneath the Holy Rank from spying on what was about to occur.

　　Still, restlessness lingered within his heart. But having come so far, there was no road to retreat. Only in success could they possibly find the light of salvation.

　　"Treacherous, barbaric Voight Serpents! In ancient times, out of the goodness of his heart, our ancestor allowed you to preserve this last bloodline and hold onto this vast territory.

　　However, you failed to live up to his goodwill and disrespected imperial authority at every turn. Ungrateful worms such as yourselves shouldn't exist within heaven and earth!

　　Today, on behalf of the spirit race, and for the Holy Flame Empire's prosperity, I have no choice but to exterminate you all! Whoever stands with you on this day, cannot escape slaughter!"

　　Adalwin roared and magnified by holy force, his voice thundered within the entire Ancestral Voight Palace.

　　"Yvonne, feel free to start your breakthrough. I will use the Ancestral Defense Formation to buy you time."

　　Hubert declared while his holy sense locked on the invaders. And as it swept them, though it seemed they came fully prepared, puzzlement flashed within Hubert's eyes.

　　At that time, in a twister of white and grey light, Else and Verena appeared.

　　On Verena's face, complex emotions intertwined. After all, with her entire house standing against them all, awkwardness was inevitable.

　　As for Else, gravity shone within her eyes.

　　"Your highness, it seems you've already grasped the crux of the matter. While on the outside, the paragon spirits seem to outnumber and overpower us, in truth, we hold the upper hand.

　　Once we combine house Voight's defensive formation, my Incomplete Divine Artifact, and both your and Yvonne's strength, they cannot raise any storm. On the contrary, they risk losing skilled manpower in vain.

　　But since they dare come, they must be fully prepared. My guess is that Adalwin managed to borrow some mighty artifact from his old Celestial Church friends.

　　An artifact that gives him full confidence in handling us."

　　Else calmly stated, and indeed, those were the thoughts swirling within Hubert's mind.
