The Royal Guards were too frightened to advance, and they dropped their weapons, kneeling on the ground in surrender.
Alexandra rode a tall horse, leading the Queen towards the Heaven Hall.
The battle in front of the Heaven Hall had reached a fever pitch.
Michael’s silver armor was stained black with blood. He had taken a hit to his left arm, and blood dripped down his armor from the wound.
More than half of the five hundred personal guards he brought had been lost, surrounded by three times their number of Royal Guards.
The circle of spears tightened, and each slash was accompanied by the screams of his personal guards.
“General Osborne, we can’t hold on any longer!” The lieutenant’s arm was pierced by an arrow, but he still gritted his teeth and waved his long saber. “Why don’t… you retreat first p>
Michael cleaved open the oncoming broadsword and pierced the chest of a Royal Guard with a backhand strike. “Retreat? Where to? We can’t retreat even if we die here p>
Athena was still nowhere to be seen, and he hadn’t seen Julius‘ signal to attack.
That meant Athena had not yet entered the Imperial Palace.
So many eyes had followed her all day. Besides, Alexandra disapproved of her.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from the corner of the hall.
The Royal Guards‘ formation inexplicably collapsed, and someone shouted, “It’s bad, Alexandra is coming p>
Everyone looked forward in horror, only to see Alexandra wearing armor, riding a tall horse, and carrying a bloody spear.
She killed her way over with a commanding presence.
Behind her was a team of Aegis Guards.
Alexandra’s sudden appearance instantly turned the tide of the battle.
Michael’s soldiers were initially dispirited, but upon seeing reinforcements arrive, their morale soared. “Kill them and save His Majesty p>
The battle cries shook the heavens, and Michael smiled.
Alexandra arrived just in time.
“It’s Alexandra!” the personal guards‘ morale instantly surged, as if forgetting their pain, they tried their best

to break through.
Alexandra threw the Queen to the Aegis Guards behind her. “Keep an eye on her p>
Immediately afterwards, she turned her spear and formed a pincer attack with Michael.

Her spearmanship was bold and expansive, carrying the bravery of a military family; where the tip of her spear swept, the Royal Guards fell to the ground one after another.
Fermin watched the sudden change in the battle situation, his face changing drastically.
“Your Highness, retreat quickly, we can’t hold on any longer p>
Fermin’s face was ghastly. “A bunch of good–for–nothings! Why couldn’t the three thousand Royal Guards in the palace withstand even a few hundred Aegis Guards soldiers? Even Queen Mother has fallen into their hands p>
The commander of the Royal Guards lowered his head in shame. Fermin revealed a fierce look, watched the chaotic battle, and ordered, “Listen to my order. Release the fire arrows p>
“Your Highness, the Queen is still in their hands p>
Fermin said, “Those who accomplish great things do not stick to trivial matters. Even if Queen Mother knew, she would understand me p>
The commander of the Royal Guards looked fearful as he listened to Fermin’s words.
If he could kill even his own mother, he would kill his soldiers as well.
The fire arrow archers all aimed at Michael and Alexandra.
The Aegis Guards soldiers swarmed up to protect the two of them.
Alexandra smiled coldly and said to Michael, “If I am buried here today, it will not have been in vain for me to have come to this world p>
She was born with the ambition to be a female general, but by a twist of fate, she entered the palace.
Having been trapped in this Imperial City for half my life, she never thought she would die here at the end.
Alexandra sighed and said, “If you live, tell my son to scatter my ashes into the rivers, lakes, and seas so that I can die in peace p>
“Alexandra.” Michael’s voice choked slightly.
But even more, he felt guilty, he had failed to protect Alexandra and had failed Athena’s trust.
“What are you crying about? You’re such a mama’s boy.” As she spoke, fire arrows shot in from all directions.
Michael had to buck up and knock down all the fire arrows that were shot at them.

He protected Alexandra while retreating backwards.
Just when Fermin thought the battle situation was turning around, suddenly a flare exploded in the sky above the Imperial City.
