At the main gates of the Prince's residence, hundreds of Imperial Guards had already formed a defensive line, confronting Lord Jingnan's army. They were responsible for the defense of this place. If Lord Jingnan had come alone, they certainly wouldn't have obstructed him and would have even promptly and courteously gone inside to announce him. But his directly bringing over a thousand knights with him hardly looked like an uncle visiting his nephew.
Lord Jingnan was seated atop his Pi Beast, his arm sweeping forward. In the next moment, a group of knights nocked arrows to their bows, while those on either side tensed, ready to charge after the volley.
This scene threw the Imperial Guards into a panic. Outnumbered and with their morale already shaken, they still hadn't received orders on whether they should stubbornly hold their ground.
But it was clear that Lord Jingnan's forces were about to act!
Just then, the main gates of the residence were opened from within.
