Although the soldiers on the city wall fought hard, the enemy was too numerous and their attack was too fierce, so the city gate was finally breached. The enemy poured into the city like locusts, but was surprised to find that this was not the border town they expected.

Only then did they realize they had fallen into a trap. However, it was too late. The ambushers in the city had been waiting for a long time, taking advantage of their rest and launching a fierce attack on the unsuspecting enemy.

Faced with such a fierce attack, some who failed to react in time died on the spot, some were seriously injured, and some underwent changes due to the stimulation.

Roar... Roar... Roar... Continuous roars rang out, and the people in the border town thought that a beast tide had begun.

They all picked up their weapons and prepared to fight.

When the soldiers attacked, they saw some guys turned into monsters they had never seen before. They crawled out from the dead bodies, covered in blood, with sharp teeth, and quickly ate everything around them.

These monsters look horrifying, their bodies covered in blood, their eyes flashing with ferocity, their mouths filled with sharp fangs, and they look terrifying. They are like demons from hell, making people feel fear and despair.

The people of the border town looked at these monsters in horror outside the barrier, unable to understand why such a thing could happen. The appearance of these monsters made people feel helpless and confused, not knowing how to deal with this sudden disaster.

The soldiers were also shocked. They had never seen such a monster before and were filled with fear. However, as soldiers, they could not retreat. They had to bravely face these monsters and protect the safety of the border town. So, the soldiers mustered their courage and continued to attack the monsters.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the soldiers struggled to resist the monsters' attacks. However, these monsters were extremely powerful. Not only did they have amazing strength and speed, they could also release a black aura that gradually weakened the soldiers' strength.

Just as the soldiers were losing their strength, mysterious figures appeared on the battlefield. They wore uniform blue and white robes, wielding long swords, and worked together to slay monsters.

Then, tall figures appeared on the battlefield one after another, followed by the shadows of wolves, tigers, dragons, phoenixes, deer, foxes, and other beasts. After joining the battle, they quickly harvested monsters.

Seeing this, the people of the border town felt a spark of hope. They cheered and cheered for the two mysterious teams. Their presence instantly turned the tide of battle. The monsters began to retreat, and were eventually annihilated.

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the crowd: "Look, who are those two teams?"

Someone recognized them and shouted, "Those wearing the uniform blue and white are the human students participating in the academy competition. The other team is our students participating in this year's competition. I know them."

Someone else responded, "I know. They have Captain Lang Xiaoyi, Team Member Hu Haoyue, and the Huang Tianyi and Huang Beiyue teams."

"Does anyone know who that person in the golden robe is?"

"Stupid! That's His Royal Highness the Dragon Prince!"

Following this shout, everyone fell silent and looked off into the distance. They saw a man in a golden robe. His handsome face and noble demeanor filled everyone with awe.

After the battle, the crowd was still immersed in the fierce battle scene, unable to calm down for a long time. They saw the soldiers unable to fight back when the monster attacked, and then the elites of the two tribes' academies joined the battle to destroy the monster.

General Xiong Wu led his men to clean up the battlefield, discovering that most of the creatures were infested with monsters. He wondered, "Why did His Royal Highness order a barrier to be set? He also ordered the 'fire' to burn all the monsters, including the dead soldiers, to ash?" Unable to resist his curiosity, Xiong Wu set one of the monsters on fire before everyone else had left. He smelled the odor from the fire and thought to himself, "Oh no! I'm poisoned!" He shouted, "Everyone, get out immediately!"

The last soldier to exit the barrier was also poisoned.

Outside the battlefield, Qin Jinghuai looked at the retreating soldiers and asked, "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, who are they..."

"He must have been poisoned." Long Yan looked at Qin Jinghuai in front of him and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Third Prince, for bringing people to help." There was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Qin Jinghuai smiled slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, you are too polite. We are just helping each other. Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, please don't forget to agree to my conditions."

Long Yan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I won't forget what I promised you. Can we leave the city tomorrow?"

Qin Jinghuai pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's leave the city tomorrow. I hope this collaboration goes smoothly." His eyes were firm and confident, as if he had already foreseen future success.

Long Yan also responded with a smile, "I believe we will succeed. I look forward to working with His Majesty the Third Prince again." The two looked at each other and saw trust and determination in each other's eyes.

Qin Jinghuai bowed and said, "Your Highness Prince Long, we will take our leave first." Then, Qin Jinghuai led his men away.

On the way back, Qin Jinghuai asked solemnly, "Siqi, have you figured out anything about these monsters?"

Lu Siqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "Your Highness, according to my observation, these monsters are very similar to the monsters that I once saw in an ancient book, which recorded the invasion of the earth. After their death, their corpses will emit a strange fragrance. This smell can indeed make people unable to fight back. And now, it is very likely to make us become powerless and useless. I noticed just now that the spiritual energy of some of those soldiers has dissipated. This may be due to that strange fragrance." There was a hint of worry in his voice.

After hearing this, Qin Jinghuai thought that this was the invaders' poison. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't know how terrible it is. He also didn't know how his father was doing.

Inside the resplendent palace of the Human Race's imperial city, a tense atmosphere permeated the otherwise magnificent palace. Emperor Qin Limin sat grimly on the dragon bed, angrily questioning the group of people kneeling below.

"You are all a bunch of trash! We haven't found a way to detoxify you yet, so what use are you? Come on, drag you out and behead you!" Qin Liming roared, his eyes flashing with anger.

A group of doctors in white robes kowtowed in fear and begged for mercy, shouting in trembling voices: "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

At that moment, a woman dressed in a simple yet elegant palace dress slowly walked in. She was stunningly beautiful, her eyes gentle yet resolute. She whispered to Qin Limin, "Your Majesty, please calm down." Then, turning to the kneeling doctors, she said, "Why don't you get down?"

The doctors were as if they had been pardoned, and they all expressed their gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then they quickly left the palace.

Emperor Qin Limin snorted coldly, but didn't object to the Imperial Concubine's words. He knew that even if all the doctors were executed, it wouldn't solve his current predicament. His heart was heavy, his brow furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.

He stared at the imperial concubine in front of him with cold eyes and asked in a cold voice, "Su Ningrong, what is your purpose in coming here?"

"I heard that Your Majesty was poisoned, so I came to visit you specially." Su Ningrong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. "I wonder if Your Majesty has found a way to detoxify?" Her eyes fell on the emperor, and there was a smug look in her eyes.

The emperor frowned, his heart filled with anger and dissatisfaction. How dare this woman threaten him with this? How despicable! He suppressed his anger and responded coldly, "It's not your turn to worry about my affairs!"

Su Ningrong chuckled, seemingly unfazed by the emperor's anger. She leisurely walked to the bedside and sat down, reaching out to gently stroke the emperor's face. She whispered softly, "Your Majesty, why are you so angry? I'm simply concerned for you. If you agree to make our son the crown prince, I will naturally offer you the antidote. This way, not only will the poison be cured, but you'll also recover quickly. Isn't that the best of both worlds?" With this, she raised her head and looked at the emperor with a provocative gaze, as if awaiting his response.
