In the military camp area of Dragon City, thousands of people were divided into two camps, fighting fiercely. The Dragon City Guards were on one side, and the Priests, Holy Knights, and Judges of the Church were on the other side. Ever since the Holy Sword of Divine Judgement opened the curtains of the war, the war had already lasted for more than half a day.
During this period, this war alarmed countless foreign forces. Around Dragon City, more than ten cities all had people watching the battle. Some were City Lords themselves, and some were trusted aides of the City Lords. In addition, forces such as the Shadow Brotherhood and the Mercenary Association were also involved to varying degrees.
Everyone knew that the outcome of this war would greatly affect the strategic pattern of Brettonia for the next few decades or even hundreds of years. Of course, the victory of Holy Light Religion seemed to be without suspense, but how much resources would it consume to annihilate Dragon City Guards, to annihilate the Knight of the Round Table Bedivere from the Knight King Era to the present? Would the dominance of Holy Light Religion in Brettonia be stronger or weaker? Would the forces of power that had dealings with Dragon City be affected?
If Dragon City somehow managed to win the war, what should they do next? Would the Holy Light Church abandon Brettonia? Or should they face the chaos in the east and destroy the remnants of Dragon City first? If Holy Light Religion intended to give up this land, what would happen to those forces that were close to Holy Light Religion?
After that, other than waiting here quietly for the results, perhaps he could personally participate in it and reap some benefits? For example, the Holy Light Religion has obviously come out in full force, so when they besiege the Dragon City Guards, their own rear must be very empty. In the past, people only dared to covet the Holy Light Religion's treasure house, which they did not dare to rashly touch, was now wide open. Another example, Dragon City, as the most prosperous and prosperous city in Brettonia, had too many hidden treasures. Now that most of the civilians had fled to the outskirts of the city, there were too many ownerless items in the city!
On the other hand, regardless of whether Bedivere or Holy Light Religion won in the end, after the war, there must be a period of recuperation and restoration of order. This Dragon City could not be abandoned. In that case, if anyone had dared to commit crimes in the city, they would definitely be punished afterwards. During the period when people were committing crimes, those who helped to maintain order in the city would, of course, gain the friendship of the victors — no matter which side was the victor.
With so many possibilities, it was truly difficult to make a decision. All the forces had their own inclination, but they also had their own concerns. Although this war started in a hurry, it was still the highest-level war in Brettonia in recent decades. There were nearly a hundred high-grade professions participating in the war, which was nothing more than a common war between nations. In this game of chess, any move could bring about extreme consequences. Either one could enjoy endless glory and wealth, or … die without a burial and never be able to rise again.
During most of the day, the various families and sects made their own judgments. For the sake of safety, some decided to only watch from the sidelines and not personally enter the battlefield. There were also some who were extremely daring and sent people into Dragon City to try and take advantage of the situation. Some, relying on their strength, tried to join the side of Dragon City and Holy Light Religion to help in the fight...
However, it was different from what many people imagined. Most of the people who personally participated were from small forces of power. The influential forces of power around Dragon City all chose to watch from the sidelines.
The bigger the power, the more cautious they had to be. There were too many suspicious points in this battle, and it was far more complicated than it seemed. For example, the simplest question was, which side should one support in a battle between two sides? Most people would probably choose Holy Light Religion. They felt that even if there was no timely help, the icing on the cake would not be wrong. However, the news that came out of the city from these big forces made people hesitant. The one who provoked the war in Dragon City was a madman from Holy City. That madman had no bottom line and did not follow the rules. With a few words, he could frame the loyal followers of Holy Light Religion as traitors, and with a raise of his hand, he could make the heads of hundreds of priests fall to the ground. If such a person were to take charge of Dragon City in the future, who knew what he would do?
For example, he could force the trade association to give up all their property. If they refused, it would be considered as disrespecting Holy Light Religion. He could then send a judge to forcibly expropriate the property of the merchants and burn the leader of the resistance at the stake … This kind of thing was not something that Holy Light Religion had never done before. Nowadays, a large part of the prosperity of Dragon City was due to the popularity of Archbishop Rowan, which made people feel at ease to invest and produce here. If it were Faceless One, who would feel at ease?
And would the higher-ups of Holy Light Religion really feel at ease to let such a madman take charge of Dragon City? Perhaps after the war, he would be recalled back to Holy City, and the church would send a new Archbishop. At that time, they would have to start a new public relations process. And even if they tried their best to curry favor at this time, whether the new Archbishop would appreciate it or not was another matter.
Because of these uncertain factors, the big forces basically chose to watch from the sidelines.
There were many good shows in Dragon City, and they did not disappoint.
Thirty miles outside the city, at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, a great knight sighed.
"Dragon City is indeed worthy to be the number one city in Brettonia. The strength of this city is at least equivalent to half of Brettonia. The powerful people in this land seem to have been gathered by Dragon City Guards and Holy Light Religion. Compared to them, the other forces are not even qualified to serve as foils. "
This great knight was the son of the City Master of Riddle City, and also the strongest person in Riddle City. He has always been proud of his middle-order high order profession strength. However, witnessing this meat grinder like war, the great knight's heart was filled with a strong sense of frustration. In just half a day, the number of middle-order high order professions that died were as many as four or five people, and the strength of many low-order high order professions on the battlefield was not inferior to him. He, the strongest person in Riddle City, after entering the battlefield, perhaps even his shadow could not be found!
"Hahaha, if Mr. Viscount says so, wouldn't our Blue Tile City be even more miserable? I, the guardian of the city, am just a low-order high order profession, put in that battlefield, I'm just a small fry. "
The great knight sneered and ignored the magician next to him. That guy has always been known for his sinister and cunning character. Although he seemed to be a low-order high order profession, the number of middle-order high order professions that died in his hands was quite a lot. If he were to face him, his odds of winning would only be fifty-fifty.
Seeing that the great knight ignored him, the magician grinned and said, "Moreover, after this battle, no matter who wins or loses, Dragon City's vitality will be greatly damaged, and its status will certainly plummet. Look, Dragon City Guards' resistance is so tenacious. Even if Holy Light Religion wins, at least half of them will die. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us small fries. "
The great knight frowned and looked at the distant battlefield. Suddenly, a burst of alarm sounded in his heart, and he hastily took a few steps to the side. Then, a sharp sword qi came toward him, cutting the ground under the great knight's feet and the mountain behind him, leaving a bottomless crack.
The magician sucked in a mouthful of cold air. "The Dragon City Master's sword qi is really overbearing. Even though we're so far away, its power still hasn't diminished. I think we should retreat a bit more."
The great knight didn't answer. He just stared at the distant sky tenaciously fighting Bedivere. The bloody figure of the Knights of the Round Table fighting fiercely aroused a strong resonance in the great knight's mind.
After a long time, the great knight subconsciously asked, "Seriously, which side do you want to win in your Blue Tile City?"
The magician didn't expect such a question, so he froze for a moment. Seeing that no one was around, he put away his playful expression and somewhat helplessly said, "This kind of thing, I don't have the final say."
"Just say what you think."
The magician looked at the great knight. "For most people in Brettonia, this question is not a problem, right?"
"Do you think so?"
The magician quietly said, "Fifty years ago, I was a knight just like you. It wasn't until I was hit by an arrow in the knee that I changed my profession to study magic. But to this day, I actually prefer to be a knight. You know, one of the three cards in my hand is the Knight Incarnation Technique. Many people who tried to deal with me in close combat have died under this move. "
The great knight froze for a moment. He didn't think that this always insidious magician would actually reveal his card. He couldn't help but laugh. "A magician like you is rare."
"In Brettonia, it's actually not that rare. This is, after all, the kingdom of knights. Most people have a knight's dream. So, if I can choose, of course, I want Bedivere to win. "
"I remember that Dragon City and your Blue Tile City once had a conflict."
The magician said, "The last city master that I served was killed by Bedivere, so I actually want Bedivere to die. But even if he dies, he should die in the hands of a knight, not in the hands of a sinister and ruthless swindler." After a pause, he continued, "Of course, given that there's no knight in Brettonia that can kill him, it's barely acceptable for him to die in the hands of us magicians."
The great knight sighed again. "Brettonia should be the kingdom of knights, and I'm afraid Dragon City is the last fortress of the knight's spirit. If it falls today, the soul of Brettonia will also collapse."
"Yes, but the opponent is so strong, I'm afraid Bedivere won't be able to hold on for long. That Faceless One of Holy Light Religion is too powerful. "
The great knight said, "He's at the peak of advanced high order, half a step into legendary realm. Nowadays, only a few people in the entire Brettonia can compare with him. I'm afraid only the strongest few of the Knights of the Round Table, or the Knight King himself, can defeat him."
While speaking, in the sky above Dragon City, Bedivere and Faceless One once again fiercely confronted each other. The energy surged crazily, which further tore the broken sky. This made the strange phenomenon in the sky even more chaotic.
"Tsk, these two people are really powerful, they even broke the sky. In broad daylight, I can actually see a meteor!" The magician exclaimed, and then chuckled and said, "Legend has it that when you see a meteor and make a wish, the wish will come true."
The great knight knew that this was just a relaxed expression from the magician, so naturally, he wouldn't take it seriously. He just looked at the distant sky above Dragon City, where a meteor would fall from the broken sky from time to time, and then the great knight whispered.
"I hope that His Majesty the Knight King can come back from the dead and lead Brettonia to reunification."
"Cough!" The magician almost choked. "Isn't your wish too greedy?"
However, as soon as his voice fell, there was a decisive change in the battlefield above Dragon City.
Holy Maiden Marina, who was held hostage by Faceless One, suddenly twisted her body and pushed her arm. A heavy sword appeared out of thin air in her hand, and then, like a lightning, it pierced into Faceless One's chest.
This astonishing change shocked the audience. Thousands of Dragon City Guards and Holy Light Priests who risked their lives to fight even simultaneously stopped and looked up at the sky in a daze.
Faceless One casually threw away the other hostage and pressed the giant sword in front of his chest with both of his hands. The majestic magical power of holy light was concentrated in his palm, trying to shatter the heavy sword. However, when his magical power collided with the sword, it was surged back, which caused his hands to explode and turn into a cloud of blood mist.
At this time, Holy Maiden Marina began to gradually distort. Her tall figure rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a petite and exquisite girl. Her brown hair also showed a golden luster. The girl's dark green eyes were filled with a fierce sword intent, and her exquisite nose slightly wrinkled, showing that she was going all out at this time.
As for the heavy sword in her hand, although it was covered in blood, its unique shape was clearly revealed.
It was a heavy sword that no Brettonia person would mistake.
According to legend, the holder of the royal power of Brettonia was the King of Brettonia.
