“All troops, hear my order! Bypass the battlefield ahead and charge into the First Depth’s cell blocks at full speed. Break the shackles and rescue every imprisoned cultivator of our kin!”

Without hesitation, Nathaniel raised his hand and issued the command.

The Freevale warriors and Sylvan vanguard immediately shifted formation. Squad after squad moved around the battlefield and rushed toward the passages flanking the stone gate.

They sprinted toward the prison cells at full speed, beginning the rescue operation.

The three hundred celestial guards saw the rescue force advancing and immediately attempted to split their ranks to intercept them.

The Level Six commander let out a furious roar that echoed through the passage. Raising his massive ember-maul with both hands, he unleashed a blinding surge of holy radiance.

A crushing wave of power erupted from him.
