Suddenly, that guard who had screamed due to Minos' entrance into this fort felt a strong sense of weakness travel through his body, as his energies 'vanished' at a terrifying speed.
'What's happening?' He asked himself in fear as his face grew paler and paler, and his body shivered.
Boom!
Finally, the sound of the defensive barrier explosion reached the guards' ears, as Minos disappeared from the vision of that royal guard from before.
In less than 5 seconds since the protective barrier of this fort had been destroyed, that young man had entered that building while having part of his techniques activated. Among them, the Devouring Art was absorbing the energies of all the people in his path.
And since Minos' cultivation was only below the cultivation of the Spiritual King of this fort, every guard within the radius of that black ring was losing their energies rapidly!
So much so that some of those royal guards of more intermediate 5th stage cultivation levels, in just a few seconds, were already practically powerless to act!
On the other hand, before the royal guards of this fort even realized what was happening, the soldiers from the Black Plain Army that were in the vicinity of there invaded that place without hesitation.
All of these soldiers were already above level 45, with the strongest, Abby, at level 48, running towards the innermost parts of the fort.
In this place, there were a few hundred cultivators at the 5th stage. Yet, as much as the group coming from Dry City barely reached 100 people, they were much stronger than these enemies.
Hence, Abby was not concerned with protecting the soldiers from those opponents, being only interested in taking down each of the strongest enemies in that place more quickly.
That is, the chance of this operation going wrong was more related to other powers in this city finding out what was going on here, rather than these royal guards making the invasion difficult. And since with each passing second, the chances of this being discovered by the envoys of the noble families in this place increased, this group intended to end it all very quickly.
To that end, Abby was sparing no strength!
...
"Enemy attack!"
"Emergency! Help the northern sector!"
"Ahhhh! Help the southern sector!"
"Enemies have invaded the main fort! Alert! Enemies have invaded the main fort from the western sector!"
Several shouts from the royal guards of that fort under attack resounded through the central areas of that location as the stronger individuals there began to sense that the night would be somewhat dangerous.
Pa!
"Damn!"
"Requests for help coming from all sides! What's going on?" A level 49 royal guard asked as he stood up from his chair and punched the table in front of him.
"Sir, the defensive barrier has been destroyed, and dozens of enemies are attacking us!" A guard wearing a monitoring array said this in a terrified tone as he watched Minos' soldiers defeating guard after guard.
"Bloody hell! Damn lunatics!"
"Who would have the courage to attack our fort?" That same man from before said in anger.
However, in the next second, he put his agitation aside and started giving the orders. "Send out the warning signal for the other forts to send reinforcements here."
"Yes, Colonel Poe." One of the people at that location said aloud, just before running from there and heading towards the place where he could activate the arrays needed to do so.
Meanwhile, Colonel Poe continued his speech. "Quickly, one of you go to General Doran's cultivation room and ask him to take action!"
Boom!
"Ahhhhhh!"
Screams of pain reverberated as finally, the sound of an explosion reached there, and a steel door disconnected itself from a wall and flew toward one of the people in that place.
"Ahhhhh! My leg!"
"What? What's happening?" The level 49 royal guard shouted in panic as he saw the unexpected events.

And while some of those soldiers at that part of this fort were running from there to seek help from the person in charge of this place, a blue-haired young woman entered through that doorless passage.
Upon seeing this, some of those people trembled in terror, fearing that this would be the end of their lives. As for Colonel Poe, he barely had time to think about it when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his neck and collapsed on the spot.
'I'm dead! That damned woman defeated Colonel Poe with just one blow!' One of the people in that place thought about it, as he felt a particular part of his body closing up to the point that not even a needle could pass through there...
He had seen Abby's figure quickly disappear from the place she had entered earlier. Then she was already behind Colonel Poe, as the man fell to the ground already unconscious!
That had frightened that guard to his very core!
But this feeling of fear and helplessness did not last long when Minos' young girlfriend repeated her previous move on all the people there.
Abby was already at level 48 and had Silver-grade techniques. In contrast, her opponents were only subordinates of the royal family of this state, people who at best might have one or two Black-grade techniques.
So, unless her opponents were at least at level 51, she would have no challenge in this place. Consequently, she could beat them very quickly!
...
As Abby proceeded with her actions against some of the strongest royal guards in this place, Minos' soldiers had quickly advanced their positions.
They were a little slower than Minos and Abby. Still, the soldiers had taken the chances created by these two and quickly knocked out the weakest opponents of this fort.
At the same time, many royal guards at this fort had lost much of their energy to Minos' technique or even suffered from some of Abby's blows. And because of this, there were a few dozen opponents on this base that even the weakest soldier of this attack group could defeat with just one blow.
With this, the group of soldiers quickly defeated more than 100 opponents before the enemies had a chance to gather and cause more significant problems!
Boom!
Pow!
"Ahhh!"
"Bastards!"
"All of you will die cruelly at the hands of our compatriots!" One of the fort guards shouted in fury as he fought side by side with ten other of his comrades against some soldiers coming from Dry City.
However, even though some of these guards tried to provoke Minos' soldiers, none of these individuals paid any attention to these opponents. Instead, they just kept fighting with everything they had so that this invasion would end as soon as possible.
Pow!
Another blow came towards that man who had shouted in anger earlier, causing him to take several steps backward and then regurgitate a mouthful of blood.
'Where are our reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?' This person asked himself in his mind, as he felt that there was something strange here.
After all, it had been almost 5 minutes since the beginning of this attack, and the reinforcements should already be here. However, there was not the slightest sign that help was coming to rescue them...
The opposite of that, with each passing moment, more of those royal guards fell, and the silence in this fort increased.
Pow!
"Ahhhh!"
...
Meanwhile, as several fights erupted around the fort, one of the guards who had been ordered by Colonel Poe earlier arrived in front of General Doran's cultivation room.
At that place, there was a large corridor leading to a room at the deepest point of this building, where the cultivation room for cultivators at the 6th stage was located.
As he ran through that area and saw the door to Doran's cultivation room open, the guard smiled, relieved not to have to interfere with General Doran's training session.
'Looks like the General has figured out what's going on and will make his move!' He thought, just before he walked through the door of that place and saw something unexpected
"Finally... But you took too long, huh? If you had arrived a minute earlier, you would have seen this fellow pissing his pants..."
