After drinking three stats-boosting potions, Amber disappeared. Adian widened his eyes in deep shock seeing how fast this fox was moving. "However, your speed is still not enough." Saying that the city lord took out a golden sword from his storage ring and charged at Amber.

Amber just slightly smiled in response. In the next second, another Amber appeared on the left side original one. This time, the smile on Adian's face disappeared and was replaced with a look of confusion. For some reason, this time Adian couldn't see through Amber's illusion this time.

'The left one is fake. I should ignore the left one and aim my attacks at the right one.' Adian made up his mind.

While Amber attacked Adian from both sides, Adian ignored the attack of the left Amber and focused on the right Amber. The golden sword in his hand began glowing as three red straight lines appeared on the body of the golden sword. With full force, he swung the golden sword aiming at Amber's chest.

As Amber was a Peak 3rd-order cultivator, Adian was confident that he would be able to break Amber's defense with his overwhelming strength. But his expectations failed to become reality. As his golden sword somehow passed through Amber's dagger as if the dagger was nothing but air.

Adian widened his eyes in horror as he watched his golden sword pass through Amber's body without anything happening to her. At that moment Adian knew that he had made a grave mistake.

At the same time, behind Adian, a figure appeared out of thin air. The real Amber appeared behind Adian. Before the city lord could react fast enough, a felt a cold dagger on the back of his back.

no(????(e)lbi????.n(et

To others, everything happened just too fast.

Silence!

Everything fell into silence as both fake Amber disappeared in thin air while the real Amber stood behind Adian with a cold look. Adian's entire body trembled as he somehow turned around to meet those cold merciless eyes of the nine-tail fox.

"But how?"

Saying these two words, Adian's eyes rolled back and he fell down to the ground, leaving everyone in complete shock.

The soldiers looked at each other in deep shock. What happened in front of them was completely crazy. To think a Peak 4th-order would lose to a Peak 3rd-order.

Amber's face also turned slightly pale from using too much of her mana. When she charged at Adian, she activated her illusion magic. She turned herself invisible while making a fake image of her replace her. Amber sealed her Aura so that Adian wouldn't be able to sense her. The two mirror illusions that she made had her Aura which made it impossible for Adian to distinguish between the real and fake. However, while doing all that, nearly all of her mana was consumed. Performing such a high level of Illusion was to draining for her.

If not for the potion that Julia had made for her, Amber would have died in Adian's hand. 'With Adian's death, the White Ash city is in my hands.'

Amber then turned her attention to the thousands of soldiers who surrounded her. "As you can see, I have killed the city lord, Adian. Now you all have two options. Surrender or die. If you surrender, then you will live a long life if don't surrender, I swear you all will die." Amber used mana to make her voice even louder.

"The White Ash city will be under the rule of the Istarin empire. Those who want to surrender can drop their weapons to the ground and kneel down with their hands raised up." The performance that Amber just showed them left a big impression in many soldiers' minds. No one dared to think that they would be able to defeat Amber since she was stronger than the city lord himself.

Many of the ten thousand soldiers who have gathered, there were some soldiers who were beast-men. The beastmen were very impressed by Amber's strength. This was the first time that they had seen a fox-race woman being this strong and dominating. As a result, the beast-race men were the first ones to kneel down with their hands raised.

"I don't want to fight."

"Yeah. I don't want to go against an empire that is known as the Graveyard of empires." It has been wildly known that ever since Aditya took over, the Istarin Empire has never lost a battle. No matter how much the odds were against the Istarin Empire, the Empire has always managed to overcome them and crush their enemies.

Seeing the beast race soldiers kneeling first, like a ripple effect, other soldiers also started kneeling down and started to surrender. Adian was the strongest man in this city. When Adian came to this city, he overthrew the noble family that governed this city and the area surrounding it. So when Adian, the strongest man in this city was killed, no soldier had the courage to keep standing and fight.

Amber smiled with a pleased look seeing that almost all the soldiers had surrendered. This has made things very easy for her. However, the next second, the smile on her face disappeared.

Swoosh!

An arrow was fired at Amber from behind. Before the arrow could hit Amber, the turned around and grabbed it with her right hand. Seeing Amber staring at the man who fired this arrow, his face turned deadly pale. He threw the bow aside and tried to run away. But how can a Peak 1st-order cultivator run away from a Peak 3rd-order cultivator?

Just when the soldiers blinked their eyelids and opened them, Amber had disappeared from her initial position and appeared 100 meters away, to the soldiers it was as if Amber had just teleported.

In a few seconds, Amber appeared in front of the elf race soldier who fired the arrow at her. Amber grabbed the man by his neck and lifted him up.

The man began to struggle but nothing seems to work. Under everyone's eyes, Amber snapped this soldier's neck with her bare hand and threw him aside as if she was throwing away a garbage.

Amber then coldly looked at the soldiers. Some of those who had surrendered with the intention of killing Amber when she would lower her guard immediately discarded this idea seeing what happened. "Do that again, I will kill your entire family right before your eyes and then torture you to the point where you will beg me to kill you." Amber released her killing intent while saying those words.

The number of lives Amber has killed under Aditya's order was simply too high. While it was true that most of the time, whenever there was a big battle, it was always Aditya who killed the most enemies, but the number of enemies that every of 7 generals of the Istarin Empire have killed wasn't small at all.

Just as Amber retracted her killing intent, while the soldiers felt relieved, everyone noticed 250 powerful Aura flying in the direction of the White Ash city.

"They are here." Even though Amber's words weren't loud nor did she use mana to amplify her voice, everyone was able to hear what she said. After waiting for another 20 to 30 seconds, everyone was able to see 250 figures flying in the air.

Those 250 figures landed around Amber. They were the soldiers sent by the Istarin Empire. These 250 soldiers weren't some normal soldiers. They were Dragonians. They had light crimson wings on their back. Light crimson dragon scales covered their bodies. All the 250 dragonians were wearing Peak 3-star full body armor set and had Beginner 3-star weapons in their hands.

All of these 250 dragonians were 3rd-order cultivators. These armor and weapons were repaired by Percy Lowe who was the 3-star blacksmith of the Istarin Empire. Aditya had bought Percy Lowe when he had visited Julia's hometown to meet her parents.

"Lady Amber, we apologize for being late." All the 250 soldiers bowed their heads to Amber.

"You guys are not late. Take everything in control. Kill whose who dares to oppose us. Let the ones who have surrendered live. Also, shut down the teleportation arrays and the city gates. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the city for now. Also restart the city defensive dome." Amber gave the dragonians a set of instructions before she went to the place where Adian lived.

Meanwhile, the Dragonians killed the ones who did not surrender very easily. Each dragonian was extremely powerful. Even a Peak 3rd-order dragonians was able to give a good fight to an average Peak 3rd-order cultivator. So even if all the ten thousand soldiers ganged up to fight the Dragonians, they would still lose.

The ones who surrendered were given the option of becoming the Istarin Empire's soldiers with better benefits and higher pay. 90% of the soldiers accepted the Dragonian's offer especially after hearing that their salaries would be increased and their families would get special benefits. All the soldier's families received a certain percentage tax reduction, health care benefits, and a guaranteed 100 gold coins if in case any soldier died on the battlefield.

100 gold coins might such like a very tiny amount but for an average middle-class family, this much money would be enough for them to live for six months. And Majority of the soldiers came from a poor family background and for those families, 100 gold coins is a very big amount.

Scene change____

"I am White Ash city under our control. Should I move on to the next city?" Watson appeared in White Ash city after giving Jaime the task of killing all the loyal soldiers and followers of the dragon empire.

"You can take an hour of rest before moving to the next city. I will bring a Peak 3rd-order Wyvern and five thousand troops from our Empire to keep this city fully guarded. You can take the dragonians with you." All 7 generals were sent to 7 cities of the Southern fire dragon Empire along the southern coastline.

The number of Dragonians that Aditya currently had was about 5000. The number of dragonians drastically increased once, Aditya bought the Skyline Kingdom from Kane. Aditya has been preparing to invade the Southern Fire Dragon Empire for a while now. So he and Watson took some time to choose the most loyal soldiers and turn them into Dragonians. The ones who were turned into Dragonians had a 2nd-order cultivation base. Aditya would have liked to increase this number but he simply didn't have enough time.

Amber took out a mana recovery potion and drank all of it. "There is no need to rest. I will head to the next city which is 19 Km away from Solar Ash city."

Seeing Amber looking determined to go, Watson did not stop her.

"There are several generals like Jaime, I will approach them." Amber nodded and then left. Watson also used the teleportation array to teleport to another city. The news of the Solar city being invaded and captured by a foreign force was suppressed. However, this news cannot be suppressed for too long. In fact, if Alicia wasn't helping the Istarin Empire in this war, Aditya would never have openly attacked the Southern Fire Dragon Empire.

The Seekers of the Impurity was spread in every city of the Southern region. No one knew that this guild was controlled by the goddess of wealth. In public, this guild always remained neutral and boosted the economy of a Kingdom or an empire. Through the guild, Alicia managed to obtain huge power in the Dying Isle continent. The power that she held was even greater than the Istarin Empire. What she held wasn't military power, rather it was soft power. The power to influence the masses. The power of manipulating the crowd. The power to gather information.

With all the valuable intel that Alicia has provided, this invasion has become 100 times easier for the Istarin empire. Not only that, as the branch of her guild, was present in every city, Amber, Watson, and others were able to use the teleportation arrays in those branches to enter the city without the enemy even knowing about it.
