Just as the atmosphere was tense to the point of near solidification, suddenly, the ground began to tremble without warning. At first, the tremor was relatively slight, as if some enormous creature was slowly approaching from a distant place.

In the blink of an eye, the magnitude of the tremor rapidly increased, and the land beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterward, the deafening sound of horses' hooves, like a surging and澎湃 wave, resounded in everyone's ears.

The sound grew louder and louder, more and more earth-shattering, as if thousands of horses were galloping towards them. The sound of hooves striking the ground converged, like rolling thunder, causing the eardrums of everyone present to ache, and their hearts to tighten.

To everyone's shock, they looked in the direction of the sound and saw a royal guard knight order with a scale of thousands of people, appearing in their field of vision like heavenly soldiers and generals.

They were clad in uniform and gorgeous armor, which shimmered with dazzling and brilliant light under the sunlight. Each piece of armor was extremely well-made, demonstrating the majesty and extraordinary combat power of the royal family.

The knights wore imposing helmets, revealing only pairs of sharp and resolute eyes. Wherever their gaze fell, it seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression.

The warhorses beneath them were even more divine and extraordinary, each one agile and with flowing manes. The dust kicked up by the hooves formed a rolling cloud of yellow smoke behind the formation, like a yellow dragon closely following, making the appearance of the entire knight order even more majestic and awe-inspiring.

This sudden appearance of the royal guard knight order instantly dumbfounded the city defense army of Bellus Town.

Those city defense soldiers, who had originally relied on their numerical superiority and intended to take action against Soren and the others, now had frozen expressions on their faces, their eyes wide with shock and fear. They stood there blankly, looking at the knightly force that had descended like divine soldiers.

For a moment, they were completely at a loss, and their usual arrogance had long since disappeared without a trace.

The royal guard knight order acted with swift agility. They had undergone rigorous training in their daily lives.

The cooperation between them was incredibly seamless.

In the short moment that the city defense soldiers were stunned, the knights of the order, like swift cheetahs, quickly launched into action, their movements uniform and orderly as they surrounded the city defense soldiers, quickly encircling them.

The knights' lances in their hands were all aimed at the city defense soldiers in the encirclement. The cold light of the spear tips,

reflected a chilling and piercing gleam under the sunlight, as if silently warning the city defense soldiers not to act rashly. Any slight movement would cause these sharp spear tips to pierce through them without mercy.

At this moment, the city defense soldiers were like a group of prey trapped in a cage, forced to remain in the encirclement with fear and trepidation, awaiting an unknown fate. The situation, due to this sudden change, became even more intricate and complex.

Clearly, compared to the city defense army of Bellus Town, the strength of this royal guard knight order was indeed much higher.

The leaders, Eaton and Edmund, had both reached the realm of seventh-tier knights. They rode on tall warhorses,

their figures were upright, and their bodies exuded an aura of awe-inspiring power. Even just their gaze was like a thousand pounds of force, making people dare not meet their eyes.

Even the weakest of the other knights in the order had a cultivation base of the fourth or fifth tier.

In such a place where the entire royal guard knight order was filled with experts, a fourth or fifth-tier strength could only be considered a basic threshold, but even so, this was enough to prove how strong the overall strength of this thousand-man team was.

In fact, among the many units within the royal guard knight order, this thousand-man team was undoubtedly a trump card force.

The sudden appearance of such a powerful trump card force and the heavy encirclement of the Bellus Town city defense army,

undoubtedly made the city defense soldiers feel a deep sense of despair.

Originally, they had thought that by relying on their numerical advantage, they might be able to occupy a place in this tense situation, but now it seemed that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. They were like ants, and in front of the behemoth that was the royal guard knight order, they had no power to resist at all.

"Your Excellency, this matter is our fault. Please give me some face." The voice came slowly from the town, seemingly near and far, as if it came from all directions at the same time. It was ethereal and boundless, making it difficult to pinpoint its exact location.

This voice revealed an undeniable majesty, and also seemed to carry a hint of wanting to settle things peacefully, echoing in this tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Just as everyone was searching for the source of the sound, Shadow's figure flickered, like a ghost, and then steadily appeared beside Soren.

Soren frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the direction of the town. However, beneath that vigilant expression, a trace of uncontrollable ecstasy quickly flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that since a Saint-tier expert had appeared here, it meant that this underground labyrinth was by no means ordinary, and it was very likely to belong to an advanced, or even top-level, labyrinth.

Soren had come here this time for the secrets and potential value of this underground labyrinth. Originally, it was just a guess, but now, the appearance of this Saint-tier expert undoubtedly gave him a strong confirmation, making him more and more certain of the labyrinth's importance.

Although such a powerful opponent had appeared in front of him, which was no small trouble, his fighting spirit was completely ignited in the face of the huge temptation of benefits.

At this moment, the people around him saw the change in Soren's expression, and although they didn't quite understand the reason, they could all feel that the situation was becoming more and more serious and complex. Everyone silently tightened their weapons, stood ready, and waited for Soren's next instructions.

After all, they were about to face a Saint-tier expert, and a slight carelessness could lead to a situation of eternal doom.
