Chapter 1751 Chapter 1751. The Rebel and the Emperor
?The force that Archibald brought was smaller than the legion guarding Horatio. Less than 5,000 vampires were in that force. When Archibald left Sangrod, he could only bring those who were truly loyal to him. Not many were willing to go with him, thus their small number.
"Should we call for reinforcement?" Darius asked.
Horatio pondered for a bit before he answered, "No. If it was before those dragons showed up, then it was fine. Under this situation, our allies need all the manpower they can get. Our force here is enough to deal with those rebels."
"But they have Archibald...," Darius said with worry. "We might outnumber them but we don't have anyone here who can deal with him. I'm afraid no one would be able to stop him from getting to you, my lord. Maybe it's better if I call Ezekiel or my mother back."
"I agree with Sir Darius," Saint Jonathan said.
"No need. I will face him," Horatio said.
"Are... Are you sure, my lord...?" Darius asked.
Darius knew that Horatio was a capable combatant despite choosing to stay out of direct combat most of the time, but he was only a level 76 rare elite. Archibald, on the other hand, was a level 90 mythical grade. The gap between their level was too large.
"There is no need to worry. Get everyone into formation," Horatio ordered.
"Then who should be the emperor? You? Someone who colluded with an enemy nation and is now attacking your countrymen? If anyone is a traitor, you and those who follow you are the most suitable to bear the title!"
Archibald's face turned ugly. He had indeed cooperated with Liguritudum. It was Master's guild members who informed him about Horatio's plan to take him out while he was secretly planning a rebellion. Knowing that his intention had been exposed, he stood no chance of winning. He accepted Master's invitation to come to Liguritudum for refuge.
But even though he had come to Liguritudum, he refused to stay inside Dritzuut and help Master defend the capital. He had no interest in defending another country's settlement. His beef was with Horatio. So, he and his people stayed in hiding near the woods around Dritzuut. They just watched from a distance as the siege took place.
When the wall fell and the Allied army started entering the capital, Archibald had his people silently approaching Horatio's position, but he didn't take action yet. It was easy for Horatio to call his army back if he attacked. He wanted to wait until the Allied army was deep inside the capital and storming the palace before he took action.
But then Azzarilth's brood arrived. Archibald knew then this was his chance. The armies would be too busy dealing with the dragons. He commanded his troops to charge then.
"I'm done speaking to you. You will die!!" Archibald exclaimed.
Many soldiers were trying to stop him, but a swirling energy exploded from his body, pushing those soldiers away. Archibald was carrying a huge two-handed golden hammer. He made a wide swing using that hammer. Another swirling energy was discharged. This one created a giant hurricane that threw everyone in his vicinity in different directions.
"Stay behind me, my lord," Saint Jonathan uttered. He was also wielding a hammer but a one-handed one. The hammer was of unique grade and it had a weapon orb that shone with light elements. On his other hand was a kite shield, also a unique grade.
Jonathan lunged at Archibald when the soldiers blocking the ex-relic marshall were blown away. Their two hammers slammed into one another. The winner was immediately obvious. Jonathan bounced back from the impact.
"Move aside, you weakling!" Archibald exclaimed while making a wide swing. His hammer shone a bright yellow. Trails of rocks and dust followed his swing. This was a power strike modified with the earth element, Earth Strike.
Jonathan put his shield before him and activated Heaven's Shield. The giant shield image was shattered with one hit. Archibald's swing continued and struck Jonathan's real shield. Jonathan was sent far away from the impact.
With that last obstacle gone, Archibald was finally face to face with Horatio.
