Chapter 4489 The Battle Looms
“You're talking nonsense!” Gatlin shot back, his frustration evident. “I'm completely devoted to the Demon Seal
Alliance, or | wouldn't have gone to declare war on Allardland! If you're so capable, why didn’t you go? If you
had, you'd probably be dead by now!”
He would never admit to fearing death or being disloyal to the Demon Seal Alliance.
“Enough.” Talcott waved his hand, and the room fell into an immediate silence.
While the loss of two Ultimate Realm Level Four cultivators was certainly a blow to the Demon Seal Alliance, it
was not enough to provoke Talcott’s wrath.
“Mr. Cabeza, how are things progressing on your end?” Talcott inquired.
“Everything is in place. Denzel and his team have already headed toward Allardland. All of their Ultimate Realm
experts have been summoned to the palace, preparing for battle,” Zayan replied.
Talcott smiled faintly. “Perfect. By capturing all of Allardland’s experts in one fell swoop, they won't have the
power to resist.”

After speaking, Talcott turned to Gatlin and said, “Your recent visit to Allardland was successful, and you've
gained valuable insight into their operations. Now, | want you to lead an assault on Allardland. Everyone will
follow your command, but you must conquer it.”
Gatlin was momentarily stunned. He hadn't anticipated that Talcott would entrust him with such an important
responsibility. “But Mr. Lefterov, I...”
Gatlin recoiled at the thought of getting involved in such a crucial matter. He knew all too well that taking on the
task would likely lead to his early demise.
“I'll have Mr. Cabeza accompany you. He's already devised a plan. Allardland will fall with ease,” Talcott
interrupted, silencing Gatlin’s protest.
With no other option, Gatlin reluctantly nodded in resignation.
The rest of the Demon Seal Alliance were left perplexed, struggling to understand why Talcott had entrusted the
mission to Gatlin, a man they all knew to be cowardly. However, once Talcott had spoken, no one dared to
challenge his decision. The rules of the Alliance were clear—once the leader made a command, it was absolute.
As the others dispersed, Gatlin couldn’t help but sigh. The weight of the responsibility felt unbearable. He knew
deep down that he wasn’t capable of shouldering such a heavy task.
It seemed as though Talcott was deliberately steering him toward his death.
“Mr. Gatlin, you're really something now! You're leading the Demon Seal Alliance, and a lot of those guys look
down on us. This is your chance to show them who's boss!” Ruth said eagerly, his eyes shining with excitement.
Gatlin shot Ruth a glare so fierce it seemed to burn, his fists clenched, wishing nothing more than to slap him
into silence.
This guy’s crazy!
Seeing the look on Gatlin’s face, Ruth immediately recoiled in fear and quickly backed away.
Gatlin then turned to Zayan. “Mr. Cabeza, any guidance you can provide regarding the attack on Allardland
would be greatly appreciated.”
Zayan gave a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Mr. Gatlin. Prince Denzel is already on our side. He's now part of
our Alliance. With him backing us, there's nothing to fear!”
“That's good. Then let's move out,” Gatlin said, relieved. He then issued the command for the Demon Seal
Alliance members to prepare for departure.

The Demon Seal Alliance had mobilized hundreds of cultivators, nearly a hundred of whom were at the Ultimate
Realm. Most of these warriors were demon cultivators, carefully nurtured and trained by the Alliance over the
years. Virtually all of their elite forces had been called upon for this mission.
Hundreds of Demon Seal Alliance members marched in unison, making their way toward Allardland.
Meanwhile, Cedric was rallying his own forces. The palace was well-guarded, with over a thousand elite soldiers
stationed throughout, and dozens of Ultimate Realm experts summoned from across the land to fortify the
defense.
“Your Highness, the experts from across the region have all arrived. We're just waiting on the delegation from
Howler City,” Ezequiel reported quietly.
Cedric, dismissing the concern with a casual wave, replied, “Howler City? It’s a remote little town, probably with
no real experts. Whether they cor not, it won't matter.”
Unbeknownst to him, the man leading Howler City was his half-brother, sharing the sfather. And contrary to
Cedric’s assumptions, Howler City was hto dozens of highly skilled cultivators—far more formidable than
Cedric could have imagined.
These were the forces Denzel had meticulously built over the years while guarding Howler City. Now, with his
trusted experts by his side, Denzel was leading the charge toward the palace, preparing for the impending
conflict.
