The Man's Decree

Suddenly, the area within the giant light walls. began to spin. The troops trapped within the arcane array swiftly lost their sense of
time and space. Then, they started wobbling before toppling to the ground.
People began shouting and bumping into each other. As the situation escalated, many were stomped to death amidst the chaos
because they couldn’t react in time. Upon witnessing that, Lucian tried to command his army but failed.
The generals attempted to control their soldiers, too. However, no one was listening to any orders while the space within the
arcane array continued to spin.
“What is this, King Lucian? It seems to be a powerful arcane array instead of a defensive one,” commented Remus as he
watched the warriors trapped in the array stumbling around like drunks.
“What the heck is this arcane array? How can it trap so many people? I’m certain there isn’t anyone this powerful in Imperial
Beast City. Did Yuven hire a high-level array master?” Lucian. knitted his eyebrows. I’m absolutely positive that Imperial Beast
City doesn’t have anyone who can establish such a vast and powerful arcane array. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so
weak. The only possibility is that Yuven hired a mighty array master, but his city has long been encircled. There’s no way he
could’ve done that.
Aside from Lucian’s army, Ivasha was similarly flabbergasted by the sight before her. The troops from Imperial Beast City all
gazed at the arcane array in disbelief, their jaws dropping to the ground.
“W-What is this?” Stunned, Ivasha turned to Jared.
“I told you. Be ready for a slaughter.” Jared smiled. Bewildered, Ivasha gazed at Jared. How much resources did he spend on
casting such a colossal arcane array?
Meanwhile, those above the city wall were also staring at the scene ahead of them. Yuven was only somewhat surprised
because he was aware of how powerful Jared was. Nonetheless, it was still his first time seeing an arcane array capable of
trapping an army of tens of thousands.
For one, an arcane array of that size must’ve been extremely complex. Even a high-level array master might not have been able
to pull it off.
Meanwhile, Jared was watching the scene before him unfold quietly. The soldiers enclosed within the formation struggled and
stepped on their comrades while cursing.

Regardless of their efforts, they simply couldn’t escape the arcane array. From an outsider’s perspective, the troops from Norwal
City seemed to be drunk. They couldn’t even stand up straight.
Seeing that the time was finally right, Jared turned to Ivasha. “It’s your chance to annihilate your enemies, Princess Ivasha. Do
you even need to hesitate to face these easy pickings?”
Ivasha shot a grateful glance at Jared. Then, she raised her weapon and roared, “Men, charge with me!”
The army of Imperial Beast City bellowed as they advanced toward their foes. Though they were only one thousand men strong,
their morale was high. Additionally, their enemies were utterly defenseless, unable to even tell which way was up.
A one-sided bloodshed was launched. Lucian’s eyes were burning with fury as he watched his soldiers be annihilated.
A dozen minutes later, the massacre slowly reached its end. Tens of thousands of Norwal City troops had been turned into
corpses.
In fact, their bodies had piled up into a mound. The ground was soaked in blood as Jared stared at Lucian with a mocking smirk.
Upon seeing that, Lucian was even more irked. Remus leaned toward Lucian and whispered, “King Lucian, I believe we should
fall back and readjust our strategy-”
“Like hell, I will! Today, I will cut down this brat and conquer Imperial Beast City!” Lucian roared. and leaped forward, crossing
hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
As he did, he aimed his fist at Jared’s head, eager to kill the latter.
