The Light Domain created by 40 Holy Light Knights suppressed nearly 20 Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits in one fell swoop, and the power of the Light Domain was at least level-22 or level-23. The 40 Holy Light Knights were only a portion of the Holy Light Knights. If all the Holy Light Knights in the team were to be deployed, the Light Domain created would probably reach the peak of the Legendary-level.
More importantly, Donald thought of something else, and not just the Sky Castle. In the Brilliance Shrine, the Holy Light Knights could be considered a regular force, and almost every parish had a Holy Light Knight stationed there. If thousands or even tens of thousands of Holy Light Knights were deployed, what kind of concept would the Light Domain created be?
Of course, Donald also knew that the Holy Light Knights who participated in the expedition this time were definitely the most elite of the knights. If they were ordinary Holy Light Knights, it would be hard to say if they could achieve that. Hence, there were some scruples, but not to the extent of being worried or fearful.
The team of the Tower of Dusk was just like before, leisurely guarding at the back of the team while commenting on the intense battle in front of them. The members of the team of mages, especially the rookies who had just joined, listened obediently to Captain Alan's explanation on how to deal with the battle formation of the Holy Light Knights.
Lin Li did not seem surprised at all about the Holy Light Battle Song that the Holy Light Knights used. In fact, when he went to the Brilliance Shrine back then, he had also studied the Holy Light Battle Song, and even Pope Rosario had explained the Divine Guardian Battle Formation to him in detail.
Due to the emergence of a true Retribution Knight, Lin Li's team of Death Knights had attracted many Death Knights to join during this period of time. Now, there were more than 100 of them, and all of them had been converted to Holy Death Knights. The Death Knights were born with infinite killing formations, which were somewhat similar to the Holy Light Battle Song. They could create a Massacre Domain where the enemies in the domain would be constantly affected by negative mental states such as chaos, fear, and so on.
Lin Li had once tried to teach the Divine Guardian Battle Formation to the Holy Death Knights, but the results were not ideal. Although the Holy Death Knights could manipulate Divine Power, they still felt powerless when practicing the Divine Guardian Battle Formation.
At the thought of the Legendary-level Holy Knights around Pope Rosario, Lin Li reckoned that his Holy Death Knights might have to be promoted to Retribution Knights in order to be able to use the Divine Guardian Battle Formation perfectly. Hence, the 40 Death Knights that he had brought to explore the Sky Castle this time were all at the peak of level-19. He hoped that they could devour more soul fire to produce more Retribution Knights.
Soon, the corporeal Vengeful Spirits were turned into ashes under the purification of the Holy Light Battle Song, and the gray Alchemy Colossuses were also torn apart by the Rotterdam Kingdom's Alchemy Colossuses. After the battle ended, the expedition team began to move toward the interior of the Sky Castle again. However, after experiencing the battle just now, everyone became more careful.
The team of Saints were Knights, Knights, Rank, and Knights, and were. Knights, and were, and, and, and Knights, and, and, and, and, and were., That was because they were scattered when they entered. The Sky Castle was huge, and the Vengeful Spirits and Alchemy Colossuses were scattered on the streets of the city. Moreover, at that time, the Vengeful Spirits and Alchemy Colossuses seemed to have been restricted in some way.
However, this time, there was obviously a huge change. When the expedition team stepped onto the street, the Vengeful Spirits and Alchemy Colossuses of the entire Sky Castle had already gathered there. It was probably the work of the Ghost. The expedition team would encounter a large number of enemies that would surge out of the fog after walking for more than 10 meters. Fortunately, they did not pose too much of a threat to the team.
In fact, the Tower of Dusk's team was not that relaxed all the time. As they gradually delved deeper, enemies began to surge out from the forks on both sides of the street. Many of the enemies even rushed out from the places that the expedition team had already passed. They might have rushed there later, or they might have deliberately set up an ambush. In short, the Tower of Dusk could no longer stand idly by and watch.
Seeing this situation, Donald and Kanber of the Rotterdam Kingdom, as well as Jeremiah of the Brilliance Shrine, were secretly gloating. In their opinion, the Tower of Dusk had chosen to be at the back of the team because they wanted to preserve their strength. On the other hand, it was because they lacked confidence in their own abilities.
However, the enemies that appeared at the back of the team now seemed to be no easier to deal with than the ones in front. Besides, the ones in front only had to keep advancing, while the ones at the back had to defend against the enemies while paying attention not to leave the main force. Otherwise, they might be surrounded by the enemies.
With that in mind, Donald and Jeremiah coincidentally asked their subordinates to speed up. It was not that they had to get rid of the Tower of Dusk, but as long as there was a slight disconnect between the troops, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Tower of Dusk.
However, in the face of such a situation, the Tower of Dusk did not seem to be in a hurry. The mages were the only ones who really took action to defend against the enemies, and they were mainly the newcomers. What the Death Knights did was to continuously devour the soul fire of the Vengeful Spirits. The other Legendary powerhouses rarely took action, and would only attack when the mages were in danger. Otherwise, they would not do anything even if they were injured.
That seemed to be a little cruel, but how could they gain experience if they were not cruel? That was how humans were. If there were always Legendary powerhouses protecting them, they would probably let their mistakes go unchecked. Anyway, they would not die, so why should they care so much? In the end, they would never be able to improve.
However, even though they were training, the speed of the Tower of Dusk's team was not affected at all. No matter how fast they advanced, and no matter what kind of enemies appeared at the back, the Tower of Dusk's team would still maintain the same distance.
After a few times, Donald finally gave up. After all, he would have to pay a price to advance forcefully. At the same time, Donald couldn't help but be a little surprised by the strength shown by the Tower of Dusk. Is this really a small and unknown local force? He was well aware that although the enemies at the back might not be much stronger than those at the front, it would not be easy to achieve what the Tower of Dusk had done.
The enemies that appeared at the back of the team were the same as those at the front. There were gray Alchemy Colossuses and Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits. However, at the front, the Rotterdam Kingdom dealt with the Alchemy Colossuses, while the Brilliance Shrine dealt with the Vengeful Spirits. However, the Tower of Dusk at the back was able to eliminate the enemies while keeping up with the speed of advancement with the help of the mages. That was shocking.
It was not that it was impressive, but it also depended on who did it. If it were the Brilliance Shrine's team, Donald would definitely not be too surprised, but could the Tower of Dusk be compared to the Brilliance Shrine? It seemed that if he had the time, he would have to ask Archbishop Martin about the origin of the Tower of Dusk.
In fact, Donald was not the only one who was shocked. After seeing the performance of the Tower of Dusk, Archbishop Martin was also indescribably shocked. His understanding of the Tower of Dusk was actually limited to Lin Li, and he did not know much more about the strength of the Tower of Dusk than others.
Archbishop Martin also agreed that Lin Li was a genius, a demon, and a monster. After all, he had reached the peak of the Legendary-realm in his early twenties. However, could geniuses be contagious? The Tower of Dusk had only been established for three or four years, but the performance of its mages seemed to have been nurtured for decades. Of course, it was impossible to nurture them for decades. Hence, they could only say that they were all geniuses. Could it be that there had been a surge of geniuses in the Breezy Plains recently? Why hadn't there been so many magic geniuses in the past?
In the eyes of others, exploring the Sky Castle was a dangerous operation, and everyone would definitely bring out their most elite forces. Probably no one would have thought that Lin Li would actually bring a bunch of rookies over and treat the Sky Castle as a training ground. Of course, in reality, even the so-called rookies would probably be at the level of core elites in other forces.
Watching the mages destroy the gray Alchemy Colossuses and kill the Legendary-level corporeal Vengeful Spirits, everyone was probably jealous that the Tower of Dusk actually had such a powerful group of mages. However, Lin Li secretly shook his head. He was still not satisfied with the expressions of the rookies.
However, Lin Li also knew that such things could not be rushed. No one would really grow up after experiencing a battle. He had also experienced many battles of various sizes to get to where he was today, and continuously gained experience during the battles. Hence, he had grown from a young and inexperienced person to his current level.
In general, the expedition was advancing rather smoothly, even though the battles gradually became more intense with the continuous influx of enemies. In fact, there was almost no stopping for a moment. However, the enemies were not enough to pose a substantial threat to the joint expedition of the three forces. In fact, when they passed by a few special buildings, they even had the spare energy to plunder them. However, their gains were somewhat unsatisfactory.
The expedition was like an indestructible chariot that was advancing forward slowly and firmly, crushing all the obstacles on the way. In fact, they even vaguely had the thought that the Immortal King's Sky Castle didn't seem to be that impressive!
Indeed, during the continuous advancement of the battle, the team of the Brilliance Shrine did not even suffer any casualties. Even if they accidentally suffered some minor injuries, they would quickly recover under the treatment of the priests. On the Rotterdam Kingdom's side, the Alchemy Colossuses would occasionally malfunction, which would be repaired in a moment.
Even the rookies of the Tower of Dusk's team of mages were getting less and less likely to get injured in the battle, perhaps because of the effects of the training. Of course, that did not mean that they had qualified. They were just familiar with the battles with the Alchemy Colossuses and the corporeal Vengeful Spirits. The combat experience was still somewhat superficial, and only after a thorough summary and absorption would it truly become their own.
However, just when everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, the fog in front of them suddenly seemed to be boiling and rolling violently. Next, there were no enemies rushing out, but a large number of powerful magic spells emerged from the fog. There were not only Necromagic spells, but also various powerful elemental magic spells. All of the magic spells that suddenly descended formed a massive magic storm. All kinds of magic rays intertwined, appearing dazzling and full of fatal danger.
Although the members of the expedition team were more or less relaxed due to the smooth progress, they were, after all, the elites of the various forces. Hence, they immediately reacted to the magic storm that suddenly appeared. The Alchemy Colossuses that were walking at the front immediately activated their respective Magic Defense Arrays, and the huge light shields formed a strong dam that blocked the impact of the magic storm.
On the Brilliance Shrine's side, the priests also began to chant a prayer with pious expressions. As the prayer was chanted, a gap appeared in the fog that filled the sky, and a pillar of light penetrated the gap in the fog, landing in the continuous magic storm. With each pillar of light that landed, the power of the magic storm would obviously weaken a little. Soon, the magic storm was eliminated under the joint efforts of the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom.
Upon sight of the elemental magic spells, the first reaction of the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine was to suspect that there were other forces in the Sky Castle. It was because the enemies that they had encountered all along, apart from the gray Alchemy Colossuses, were corporeal Vengeful Spirits, and some other Undead creatures. Those enemies could not cast elemental magic spells.
"Let's rush in and see who it is that dares to be so rude!" On the side of the Rotterdam Kingdom, Prince Kanber had already given the order to charge before Donald could say anything.
Upon hearing Prince Kanber's order, the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom did not hesitate at all. The Alchemy Colossuses in front of them activated their full power, and they rushed into the fog with large strides. The people of the various professions also formed a battle formation and followed closely behind the Alchemy Colossuses.
Even the people of the Brilliance Shrine could not stand such an attack, let alone the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom who had always been arrogant. Right after Prince Kanber's order, Prince Jeremiah of the Brilliance Shrine also pointed the sharp sword in his hand forward, and ordered the Holy Light Knights to attack with all their might.
