Chapter 501: Army arrived
Grandpa William didn’t say anything more, but he still needed to be prepared to at least let the servants and other weak helpless people to move far away from the battle field. This way, they would not get caught in the crossfire.
The Fletcher family quickly started to prepare as the servant and the weak soldiers were sent far, and only the guards brought by Apollo and Astraea remained.
Astraea also came out from her closed-door training and learning about the incoming battle; her reaction was also the same as her brother’s.
Time passed quietly.
While the Crystal Dragon Clan marched toward them with overwhelming killing intent, Apollo and Astraea calmly sat within the garden, drinking tea as though the declaration of war from an ancient clan meant absolutely nothing.
Apollo glanced toward his sister and smiled faintly.
"Sister," he said while taking another sip of tea, "it seems you’ve become stronger."
"It’s nothing much compared to you, brother, as you seem to have improved a lot in just a few months." Astraea smiled and replied with the same kind of answer.
Both of them remained silent, although they were brother and sister, as they didn’t fully believe each other or at least remained cautious. Not fully wanting to limit their strength.
Then suddenly both of them glowed, and they looked in the same direction.
"It seems our guests have arrived," Apollo said calmly.
BOOOOM!
Space trembled violently.
A massive ancient warship tore through the void and appeared above the Fletcher Estate. Its enormous shadow covered the sun itself, plunging the land below into darkness.
The moment the ancient warship appeared above the Fletcher Estate, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.
Clouds churned violently.
The surrounding heaven and earth energy became chaotic as if unable to endure the presence of the colossal ship. Crimson runes lit up across its surface one after another, resembling countless blood-red dragon eyes staring down at the land beneath.
The weak servants of the Fletcher family who had not gone far enough collapsed to the ground in fear.
Slowly the figures started to come out from the warship. Their aura seemed to shake the heaven and earth.
In front was standing young master Balerion, and beside him were the four commanders of the red dragon legion, whose auras were the most terrifying, making people watching from afar tremble in fear.
"Haha!"
Balerion’s voice thundered across the sky. "Come out, leaders of the Fletcher family, and face your deaths!"
Storms formed merely from the force of his voice.
Various spies or even elders brought young geniuses from different ancient clans, and they all watched the scene unfolding. For them this was a great chance to observe high-level battle at the transcendent level.
At the moment Apollo and Astraea still remained calm and indifferent to the army of the ancient crystal dragon clan.
"Sister," Apollo said while standing up slowly, "let’s go greet them."
"I suppose many people are curious about what kind of existence the Fletcher Clan truly is."
Astraea smiled faintly and rose as well.
"Indeed," she replied.
"It’s time for the world of Rion to understand whom to never mess with."
The next instant, both siblings disappeared.
And reappeared high in the sky directly before the army of the Crystal Dragon Clan.
The sudden appearance of the two caught Balerion and the four commanders, and their expression changed.
Despite their arrogance, they had remained highly vigilant from the start. Yet not one of them had sensed Apollo or Astraea approaching.
And that realization alone sent a chill through their hearts. They immediately know these two weren’t ordinary.
But no matter how they tried to gauge their strength, they felt nothing. They were completely unable to tell Apollo and Astraea strength, which immediately made them cautious.
The spies and various people from ancient clans also see this and are equally shocked. First, the most transcendent level beings were very famous, and even their names shook the universe during their era.
But the two in front of them were completely unknown. But this didn’t matter as their are always some transcendent who remained hidden for eras so it wasn’t unbelievable for them.
What truly shocked them was something else entirely. The aura of rules surrounding Apollo and Astraea clearly belonged to the current era.
They might not be able to judge their strength, but the mysterious aura of rules on them clearly belongs to the current era.
The era that just started, and not even a year passed, and now suddenly two transcendent beings suddenly appeared; how could they not be shocked?
This made them even more look forward to the battle, and all eyes now were focused on the two.
"Who are you?" Balerion asked. But the two seem to completely ignore him.
"Hmm, they aren’t worthy of our action. How about I let my subordinate take care of them, brother?" Astraea suddenly said, glancing at Apollo.
"Ha, alright if you want that. Let them handle it." Though surprised, Apollo agreed. And he also wanted to see more about his sister and the power she created in her previous life.
Balerion’s face darkened completely.
These two weren’t simply ignoring him—they were disregarding the entire Red Dragon Legion and even the ancient Crystal Dragon Clan itself. The clan with a terrifying past and profound foundation that was built in multiple eras was right now in front of everyone being insulted.
"How dare you!" he roared furiously.
"Even if you are Transcendents, how dare you show contempt toward the Crystal Dragon Clan?!"
"Today, in the name of our ancestors, you and the entire Fletcher Family will be annihilated!"
Balerion’s roar shook the heavens, carrying the fury and pride of the Crystal Dragon Clan.
Behind him, the thousand warriors of the Red Dragon Legion released their auras simultaneously.
Boom!
The sky darkened as the aura of dragon spread across the land. Crimson flames twisted through the clouds while terrifying red dragon phantoms roared behind the legion.
The thousand warriors from the Red Dragon Legion formed a formation covering the four directions, led by the four transcendent commanders.
