923 Chapter 528: The Final Battle Begins, Qingqiu Is Dead This Time! [3/3]
Richard nodded slightly and returned to the majestic Lion Hall with the princess.

At this moment, more than 30 high-ranking officials of Lion City were present. They were in charge of everything in the city.

“Good evening, Lord Richard.”

Everyone held their chests and bowed in unison, their postures extremely humble.

Richard reached out to hold everyone up. Then he walked to the main seat and sat down.

Princess Tundel sat on the left.

The two of them sat down, and everyone else sat down.

Richard’s arrival immediately eased the tense atmosphere.

“What did the intelligence report say?”

Richard cut to the chase.

A young hero in his early twenties quickly stood up. He said, “Lord Richard, the scouts have reported that the Raging Blood Duke used the excuse of suppressing the rebellion and eliminating a royal family to massacre the nobles and civilians in five provinces. The number of casualties far exceeds a million.”

“We received news that they transported all the corpses to the High Mountain Province.”

“That is the province of the Mountain Duke.”

He picked up a long, smooth stick as he spoke and gestured at the map.

Richard looked at the center of the map. That was the Mountain Duke’s location.

This place was only two to three hundred kilometers away from the capital of Ell. It was also only a few hundred kilometers away from the obelisk.

‘What could the Raging Blood Duke plan to do?

‘Leaving Lion City alone and suddenly slaughtering the nobles?’

“Lion City, maintain high alert!

“I will pay close attention to this matter.

“The real battlefield is still in Lion City. No matter what the Raging Blood Duke plans, he will still attack Lion City!
“The key is whether we win.”

“Yes, Lord Richard!”

Everyone’s anxious hearts slowly relaxed.

They stared at this valiant figure. Richard’s gentle aura greatly relieved the people.

They could quickly solve problems while he was around. That was always the case.

A sense of unease rose in Richard’s heart after a few moments of silence. It was as if the traitor plotted something unfathomable.

The meeting was over, and Richard planned to leave Princess Tundel alone.

The princess glanced at Richard’s serious expression. She knew he had other thoughts.

“Great Ruler, We will support you unconditionally, no matter what happens.”

Richard nodded when he saw Tundel’s expression.

“I want to go to the High Mountain Province personally.

“The situation will be under your control for now. Everything will proceed according to plan.”

He took out a fire elemental core as he spoke.

“This is a treasure used to summon a Fire Elemental Lord. The other party will come to you if you crush it.

“If Lion City is in trouble before I return, You can use it immediately.”

“Leave now,” Tundel said firmly. She reached out to take the core of the fire element that emitted heat.

“Lion City will be safe as long as I am alive!”

Richard patted the girl on the shoulder. “Don’t tell this to anyone.”

An energy surged from his body as he spoke. An eraser seemed to have erased his entire body and disappeared.

The Concealment Power was a skill obtained from the first dungeon, Gods.

Richard disappeared.

‘Kacha!’

The crisp sound of glass shattering rang out from the sky.

He turned to look out the window.

Countless cracks appeared in the sky.

These cracks emitted a terrifying evil aura. Was that the abyss?

That shocked him.

‘What was the rebellious Raging Blood Duke doing?!!’
