"It's the Dusk Prayer?"
After Midian left, Allen, who had gradually regained his senses, found out who he had fought with after listening to Regis and the others. Midian's identity was unexpected, but it was also reasonable. Allen was surprised that one of the Ten Saints would intervene. If he wasn't one of the strongest people in the Empire, he wouldn't have been able to hide his aura so perfectly under Allen's ability to see Origin Energy directly.
Edward looked in the direction Midian had left and said, "Behind Midian is Sword Lord Mason. It seems that our Duke is determined to make his nephew the heir apparent. But sending one of the Ten Saints to deal with you is giving you face. "
"I don't care about this face. That guy's ability is too strange. I'm sure he didn't use his full strength. If I didn't have the Flaming Shadow Armor, I'm afraid I would have been defeated. "
"Defeated?" Fares was surprised. "He doesn't look like he wants to kill you."
"Don't be fooled by his words." Allen shook his head. "He talks nicely, but he doesn't show any mercy. When I fought with him, I knew it clearly. His gaze never left my body, always searching for an opening that might appear. That guy is here to kill me. "
"I've asked Dark Blade to collect some information about the Ten Saints." Edward's eyes turned blue. "Midian is ranked last among the Ten Saints. Above him are Empress Scorpion Becatello and the others. But in terms of pure threat level, Midian was definitely not inferior to Becatello or any of the last five of the Ten Saints. That's because Midian's Engraved Armor is different. Everyone knows that the Engraved Armor is used to protect the weak body of the ruler. It prevents the ruler from being directly exposed to the power of an opponent of the same level. This is almost an instinct of evolution. Only the ancestors who walk the path of atavism will give up the Engraved Armor and create the Ancestral Blade that specializes in attack. "
"However, Midian's Engraved Armament has the characteristics of the Ancestral Blade. His Armament is better at attacking than defending …"
Midian's engraved armor was called the Twilight Movement. This armor had a total of twelve movements, and each movement was actually a source of power weapon. The abilities of the Nightfall Symphony varied. For example, weapons such as visual and auditory hallucinations could interfere with the opponent's perception. On the other hand, the Symphony of Nothingness was an invisible blade that could be extended or shortened at Midian's will. The twelve chapters of Dusk had different abilities. Under Midian's control, they could be combined at will depending on the opponent. Apart from that, the twelve pieces of equipment could also be combined into one to form the strongest equipment, the Prayer. Midian had once killed a former Ten Saints as a Prayer, and that was how he became one of the current Ten Saints.
"But because the Nightfall Symphony is better at attacking, Midian himself is more vulnerable. So, his tactics are basically the same as an assassin's. If he misses his target, he will flee a thousand miles away. Of course, Midian's physique was weak compared to the Ten Saints who had the Engraved Armor. For an expert below Level 30, it would not be easy to injure him. You've fought him before, so you should know this better than anyone else. " Edward said in a low voice, "If you fight him again, my suggestion is to fight with all your strength from the start. Use your strongest killer move to attack his weakest point. "
Allen nodded. "This time, it's all thanks to the two former Ten Saints. Otherwise, we might have died here."
"They said they were just passing by. I don't think so. Besides, Midian also said that the two lords seemed to be serving the Boleyn Family. "
"Duchess of Flower?" Allen narrowed his eyes. "Looks like they're here to return a favor."
"Miss Elise?" Edward nodded. "If that's the case, it makes sense. Now it seems that your luck hasn't run out yet."
"Let's hope so …" Allen jumped onto his horse and turned back. "Let's hope that things will go smoothly when we reach Oliska."
"That's impossible." Edward denied coldly.
Two days later, the New Great Wall appeared in front of the team. On the boundless grassland, the grey-white Great Wall stood majestically, like a long white dam separating the land. Under the bright sunlight, the golden flags on the Great Wall were like torches, symbolizing the glory of the Empire. When they got closer, they could see that the 30-meter-tall wall was made entirely of stone. There were rows of firing holes everywhere, and the closest row of firing holes at the base of the wall was more than 10 meters high. It was conceivable that the inner wall must have been a stepped structure. When the enemy attacked, thousands of musketeers would stand on the inner wall and face the enemy from above. With more than a thousand firing holes, even if the enemy were to attack with guns, they would be able to guarantee enough firepower to suppress the enemy.
Moreover, on top of the wall, there were bronze cannons decorated with lion muzzles, as well as pitch-black giant iron ballistae and catapults. These weapons of war were not like the old Great Wall, which only had remnants left. From the cannons to the catapults, they were all well-maintained. Behind the wall, there was a tower every 10 meters or so. They were not only buildings for the soldiers to look into the distance, but also important firepower support points. Looking at the Great Wall that stretched for who knew how many kilometers, Allen could not imagine how much of a headache it would be for the alien races to face it.
After the Great Wall, there was another vast world. The terrain here was flat, and the field of vision was vast. Not far away, there were a few military camps, each the size of a small town, densely packed with buildings. Water towers, sports fields, barracks, armory, warehouses, and so on were all available. Without exception, all the buildings had the Golden Lion Flag, which symbolized the Imperial Army, on top of them. Those long, triangular flags fluttered in the wind like raging flames.
Other than the military camps, most of the land was farmland. There were a few villages between the New Great Wall and the Imperial Capital. Each village was responsible for a vast piece of farmland, and the various crops planted in the farmland were supplied to Olis to supply the food and drink of this capital of the Northern Region with close to 100,000 people.
The scenery of the next few dozen kilometers was rather monotonous. Other than the farmland, there were only villages. At noon, Allen finally saw Oliska. Every person who had just arrived at the Imperial Capital would first see the highest point of the Imperial Capital, the Twilight Fortress that was bathed in sunlight. That was where the Empire's royal family was located. That gorgeous, white, and holy castle was located on a platform halfway up Dawn Mountain. Dawn Mountain was located behind the Northern Capital, like a barrier that blocked the cold wind from the Arctic Ocean in the north for Oliska. Legend had it that the founding emperor had defeated the king of the Shadow Duchy on this mountain, repelled the allied forces of the alien races, and laid the foundation of the Empire. Dawn Mountain symbolized the rise of the Empire from the darkness, and Dawn Fortress implied that this powerful human Empire would rule the land.
Dawn Mountain was originally steep, with a gentle slope at the end. The platform where Dawn Fortress was located was directly carved out of the mountain by human experts. Then, roads were built, and stones were blown up to build the fortress. Only then did the current Dawn Fortress come into being. Dawn Fortress had gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, but every time at dawn, as long as people looked up, they would see it bathed in sunlight, giving people infinite hope and confidence.
With Dawn Mountain and Dawn Fortress as the starting point, Oliska's buildings were laid out in arcs, spreading out in circles. If one looked from the sky, one could see that the entire city had a total of four city walls. These four city walls had witnessed the expansion of the Imperial Capital three times in the past hundreds of years. Some people predicted that in another hundred years, the Imperial Capital would probably have a fifth city wall. Just thinking about it was fascinating. This was the direct proof of the Empire's growing strength.
The Imperial Capital's buildings might have been influenced by the folk customs of the Northern Region. Regardless of whether it was the bell tower or the houses, they were all tall and simple. The main road was straight and spacious, and the alleys were paved in an orderly manner. The architectural style was dignified and grand. The roofs were mostly pointed, and it was rare to see domes or other shapes. This made the Imperial Capital's buildings look like a forest of spears from afar, giving it a majestic aura. Even the stained glass floor-to-ceiling windows used for decoration were tall and huge, giving it an extremely majestic aura.
The layout of the city was grand and majestic, but there was no lack of exquisite and gorgeous decorations. Fountains and small squares were scattered throughout the city, each with a different style. As for the decorative columns, railings, sculptures, or murals, they were all unique and ingenious. Rows of trees were planted on the main road. The huge treetops were like green umbrellas that propped up the imperial capital, decorating the gray stone forest with endless greenery.
This was Oliska, the capital of the Bailey Empire, the city of heaven that carried the hopes of countless people in the empire!
After the caravan completed the customs formalities, they entered the city gate and bumped into a group in the small square behind the gate. In front of the group was a warhorse with snow-white fur. The warhorse was snow-white, and the horse was draped in gold with black and red decorative patterns on the edges. The Knight on the horse was young and sunny. He had a warm smile on his face and his eyes were as clear as mountains and flowing water. When he looked at Allen, Allen immediately knew who he was.
At this moment, Allen clenched his fist and pressed it against his chest. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness Julian."
This person was Julian, not only because Rhine was in the queue, but also because the twelve guards behind him were dressed in white, silver armor, and black clothes. They were the imperial guards of Dawn Castle, the Silverfrost Guards! To be able to use the Silverfrost Guards as guards and have Rhine accompanying him, who else could it be other than Julian? However, Allen did not expect that the Second Prince would actually wait at the city gate. He seemed to be very sincere.
Julian also jumped off his horse and laughed, "Sir Allen, it's been hard on you all the way north."
"It's indeed not easy, but it's really frightening to have Your Highness wait here."
"No." Julian said resolutely, "Whoever can match up to Midian's Twilight Movement and arrive here safely has the qualifications to make me wait."
Allen was stunned. He never thought that the news of his fight with Midian would have spread to Oliska. "Actually, I only attacked and defended a few times with that Ten Saints expert. The one who scared him away was someone else. "
Julian smiled brightly, "Sir Allen, do you know? No one under level-30 can survive Midian's Twilight Symphony except for you. Besides, it's already a miracle that you can attack and defend against him a few times! "
