"The Royal Court... Something's happened?!"
Chu Kuanglan's heart sank abruptly, and the instincts honed on the battlefield instantly overwhelmed everything else.
He grabbed Hua Jing's hand tightly, with such force that her knuckles turned slightly white, his voice urgent: "Listen, go find your team immediately. If anything seems wrong, don't worry about anything else, retreat at once! Got it?! Do not hesitate! And certainly do not worry about me!"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, he suddenly bent down and pressed hard against Hua Jing's smooth forehead.
The next second.
Chu Kuanglan's sturdy figure erupted with astounding power, and the ice rock under his feet shattered explosively.
He shot into the sky like a heavy arrow released from the bow.
A roar instantly tore through the brief silence of the stronghold, like thunder exploding past the ears of every warrior:
"All armies on guard!!!"
Before the shout had entirely faded.
