Julian's face flushed red. Even when he was humiliated by Howson in public, he had never been as angry as he was this time. Not only did Howson disregard the king's will, but he also pinned the crime of murdering the king on him. That was fine, but now he didn't even admit to Tangerio's remains. What a heinous crime!
The Knight named Wade drew his saber and pointed it at him. The troops behind him began to advance. Woodrick snorted. This time, he had to hurry back to the imperial capital. He only brought ten cavalry with him to protect him on the way. Even with the Bronze Edge Warriors on Allen's side, he was still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. However, Woodrick and Allen were both strong men of the empire. Not to mention Woodrick, even Allen was enough to sweep through this enemy army.
Allen frowned slightly. Woodrick could see the strength of both sides, so how could he not? At this moment, Julian beside him whispered, "I have to return to the palace. Howson won't be able to succeed as king so easily." In this situation, he would not be recognized unless he could get the signature of the Grand Chancellor, the Dean of the Privy Council, or Teacher. I don't believe that the three of them would agree so hastily to let Howson inherit the Imperial Lineage without any real evidence. "
At this moment, Woodrick had already dismounted. He stretched out his hand and unsheathed his greatsword. Even though there was no Icy Soul Crystal, the giant sword was no longer surrounded by cold energy. However, with Frost in hand, Woodrick could still easily take down this army.
Allen had no intention of interfering at all.
Suddenly, laughter rang out from behind the enemy soldiers, "You guys retreat. Do you think you can be my opponent?"
Knight Wade's face was expressionless, but he snorted and made a gesture. The troops that had already advanced retreated, including him, to the two sides. A man walked out from the passage that the soldiers had created. He was tall, and his entire body was covered in a dark cloak. Even his face was hidden in the shadow of the hat, revealing only his chin and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He passed by Wade and stopped, sighing, "If you were willing to surrender, wouldn't it save a lot of effort? Why waste everyone's time?" As he spoke, he took off his hat, revealing a head of black hair that was parted in the middle, as well as a fair and handsome face. Suddenly, a drop of purple blood flowed out from the corner of his eye and rolled down his face like a tear.
Within the purple blood, there were strands of golden fluorescence. This drop of blood actually contained powerful Origin Energy!
Allen's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, the world in front of him dimmed. Julian, who was beside him, the wilderness, and the distant walls of the imperial capital disappeared one by one. The world became dark and desolate, leaving only the man and him staring at each other. Then, a path of blood came from afar and went to the other side. The surging blood flowed under their feet.
The next moment, flames rose.
The path of burning blood!
At that moment, Allen knew that this person was a chosen of the Blood Path.
The phenomenon disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the world was still the same world. Allen saw the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, and he silently said, "Hey, brother."
"Your Highness, and the general, we have to go." Allen said in a deep voice, "That person should be the culprit who killed the Great Emperor. We won't be his match. We have to leave immediately! "
While Woodrick still had an incredulous expression on his face, Stark laughed, "Earl Allen is indeed observant. Unfortunately, isn't it too late to discover it now?"
His words were tantamount to admitting Allen's guess, but at the same time, Allen was also surprised by his tone. Previously, Ceglis and Carly had used the language of Eboynes as soon as they met. Even if outsiders didn't know about their relationship, they could still deduce some connection from the language that only they understood. But now, the Blood Chosen over there didn't seem to want outsiders to know about their relationship. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called "Earl Allen".
Julian's entire body trembled slightly, unable to tell whether it was anger or fear. Allen was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he gestured to a cavalry behind him. The cavalry understood and stepped forward to pull the reins of Julian's horse, bringing the Second Prince to the back of the group. Stark looked indifferent as he watched all of this. He raised his hand and gently wiped the blood off his face. "Then, are you going to come together or one by one?"
Woodrick's imposing aura soared into the sky. Milky white Origin Energy radiance gushed out from every crack under his armor. The Giant Dragon Army general dragged the frost sword and rushed out, arriving in front of Stark in the blink of an eye. Woodrick jumped high into the air and swung his sword in an arc. Flames erupted from the sword and he slashed down at Stark's head. It seemed like a simple slash, but Stark could feel a tidal pressure coming from the space on both sides. If he intended to dodge sideways, he would definitely be affected by the invisible force field and reveal a flaw, allowing Woodrick to take the initiative.
Stark smiled. His black hair had already been pulled back by the stirring sword wind. At this moment, he raised his hand and gently pressed down on the side of the Frost Sword. His eyes suddenly lit up. A sudden change occurred. The flames on Woodrick's sword suddenly dimmed, and the unparalleled aura carried by the sword immediately weakened. Stark dodged forward and hit Woodrick with his elbow and shoulder at the same time. With two muffled sounds, Woodrick flew out with a muffled snort. His armor clearly caved in, and blood flowed out from the general's nostrils and mouth.
Allen secretly cried out in his heart. Even though Woodrick hadn't attacked with all his might, he was able to injure his opponent in a single exchange. This was enough to show how terrifying this Blood Chosen was.
Stark ignored Woodrick and rushed forward. The Origin Energy in Allen's body rumbled, and the Heavenly Calamity Circuit lit up at the same time. Black flames pierced out of his body, forming the Flame Shadow Tyrannical Armor with the Bone Armor Fire Belt that appeared! Lucy, who was at the back of the group, raised her finger and two Steel Edge Warriors passed Allen and slashed at Stark with their fierce heavy weapons.
Stark stretched out his hands and pressed them on the two heavy weapons. He had to use Origin Energy Siphon to extract his opponent's Origin Energy like he did to Woodrick and give it back to them. Unexpectedly, when his ability was activated, he couldn't draw any Origin Energy. Stark let out a "eh" sound. His own Origin Energy surged out, pushing the two heavy weapons away from each other. Stark jumped over the head of the Steel Edge Warrior, tapped his feet on the warrior's head, and pounced on Allen without caring about anything else.
The two Steel Edge Warriors seemed to have been pressed down by Wanjun Mountain, and they actually collapsed from head to toe. Their armor moaned and shattered, instantly scattering into pieces on the ground. Stark still had time to take a look and saw that there was no blood flowing out. He whispered, "It really isn't a creature."
A blazing aura soared into the sky. Stark turned around and saw Allen jump up from his horse. Gojoseon triggered the explosive flames and dragged out a comet-like trail of flames towards him. Stark smiled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Hey, brother, I miss you very much."
With a point of his finger, the space between Allen and Stark suddenly trembled, tearing apart a few ribbon-like seven-colored lights. Those seemingly beautiful ribbons of light were actually spatial cracks!
