Shilius Empire, Santa Cruz.
For some reason, the resplendent Dome Palace still looked a little gloomy even in the bright spring sunshine. Philip II sat on his throne. His eyes were a little dazed, and his spirit seemed to have dropped quite a bit.
Originally.
The long-cherished wish of generations of Shilius royalty was fulfilled in his hands, allowing him to be crowned as the first emperor in the history of Shilius. The religious reform was also completed in his hands, allowing him to become the monarch with the greatest power in the entire material world.
It was supposed to be the time for him to realize his great ambition and achieve the great cause of "everlasting".
But this unprecedented moment of glory only lasted for less than a month before Philip II was knocked off his pedestal, making him the king who lost the most land in the history of Shilius.
In the "Battle of Benin," he lost almost all of the land in the Southern Continent, and in the "Battle of Dearborn," he lost the entire northern part of the New World. Now, even the most important tax source, the Kingdom of Frisia, was rebelling for independence.
To make matters worse, at this crucial moment, the head of the think tank, Andon, came to apologize.
He said that because the empire had suffered a series of setbacks, the [Triple Crown of Golden Olives] had a problem, and the "School of Curses" had collectively suffered a backlash and might not be able to contribute in the war against Frisia (not a single lie).
The sudden turn of events made Philip II almost suspect that he was in a dream, and it was a nightmare that he could never wake up from.
If not for the power of three Titled Knights and four legendary warships in his hands, he would have almost lamented … My empire is about to fall.
Suddenly, Prime Minister Bartlett spat out a piece of "good news" that made him perk up a little.
"Your Majesty, although the New World has been greatly affected by the Spirit Tide, the Treasure Fleet has been cut off for a few years, and most of the gold and silver have not been transported.
Gathering the inventory of the remaining three sub-royal districts and mobilizing the private treasury of the royal family, a total of 3,680,000 gold lions has been paid to them.
The Duchy of Garriott has also transferred people to the new Granada sub-royal district, and the first batch of soldiers will depart for home in a day. "
Philip II, who was sitting on the throne, sneered.
"Hehe … Dukedom, Dukedom, Grand Duke Calvary, I really underestimated this small fry. But do you think my new Shilius is that easy to obtain? Sir Bartlett, have you contacted the school of sorcerers in the Shattered Stars Islands? "
"Your Majesty, we are in contact with the 'Elemental Breathing School', which is the strongest and has the most members on Celebes Island. In particular, the Fire Elemental Branch's' Flame Dragon Curse 'and the Wind Elemental Branch's' Hurricane Nest 'are quite interested in our conditions, but they still need time.
However, our intelligence department reports that the duke seems to have run into some trouble. There are signs of evil god's minions appearing in the lands of the former New Shilius. Perhaps they are in urgent need of money. They even accepted the high-purity gold ores that we haven't had time to refine. "
Philip II immediately perked up when he heard that the annoying fellow was in trouble.
"Since the entire Northern Continent no longer belongs to Shilius, the Church's Angels of Fire will no longer protect that place. Let that place become a breeding ground for the Evil Gods. The more Evil Gods there are, the better! Hahaha … "
The prime minister lowered his head slightly, not daring to say that the rampaging Evil Gods did not care about the dignity of the people of Shilius. Although they mainly attacked the Dukedom of Calvary, they also affected the New Granada Vice-Royal District.
.....
A hundred kilometers to the south of the 'World Bridge' that completely separated the north and south of the new continent, the Dukedom of Calvary and the New Granada Vice-Royal District were confronting each other.
"Roar —! Take back the land that belongs to us! "
"Chase the people of the Tulip Family into the sea!"
“.....”
The official sorcerer of the 'Mechanical Immortality School', Samuel, who was the first to join Elvin, was stationed here. His pair of alchemy eyes looked at the black mass of guards and civilians rushing over from the south, and a cold smile hung on his lips.
"This fellow who wants to cause trouble for the Dukedom is really unscrupulous. Provoking the internal division of the Dukedom and causing the neighboring countries to go to war.
Then let's see if the so-called 'hormones' that can control people's hearts can beat fiery artillery shells? Get ready! "
Click … Click …
In the mechanical sound of gears turning, three trapezoidal steel slopes rose from the hastily built granite fortress. This was a double-barreled turret array with a total of more than forty turrets.
[Construct Turrets — Sage Modo]
Whoosh —
In the snow-white steam spurted out, the forty turrets slowly rotated.
The [Sage Modo], which was made into a [Animated Guard] by Elvin and had an auxiliary fire control system, completed the calibration of all the turrets on its own. Together, they aimed the turrets at the Shilius soldiers and civilians who were gradually approaching from two kilometers away.
At the same time, through the mechanical transmission device, the turret array that was powered by a mixture of steam and alchemy stones had been completely loaded. It was completely activated, and the aura of destruction fiercely spread out.
Samuel waved his golden mechanical arm with all his might.
"Fire!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the cannons shook the sky.
Mixed with blazing flames and shrapnel, the terrifying shockwave directly tore the human bodies into pieces and threw them hundreds of meters away.
These alchemy cannons with a maximum range of twenty kilometers seemed to have pulled this world from the era of sail warships to the era of giant cannons.
No matter how many soldiers there were under the muzzle of the cannons, they were just cold numbers on the list of casualties.
Since the Holy Angel said that he could do whatever he wanted on the new continent, Elvin naturally would not hide it. It did not matter if it was a supernatural method or not, as long as it was useful, it was fine.
And reality proved that before the [Worm] completely replaced the existence of the host, they could not be allowed to risk their lives for an impossible goal.
"Retreat!"
In the north, at the Duchy of Garot.
Screech —
A team of aerial Knights kept circling in the sky.
On the ground, as soon as the light of the [Blood Curse] in front of Elvin dissipated, the rescue team made up of doctors and priests immediately rushed into this small town that stood on the shore of the Golden Sea and began to treat the hosts that were previously parasitized.
The 'Vaisari School' that Dr. Taylor belonged to had long verified that the hosts that were parasitized by a stage two [Worm] could completely recover in less than a week.
It had been three days since the slave rebellion, and there were only three days left until the deadline.
He lowered his head and looked at the witch who was fiddling with a few black goat skulls on the ground.
"Nara?"
"On this land, the stage two [Worm] no longer has any reaction.
I asked a high-level spiritual existence, and the answer I got was that no stage three [Worm] has ever set foot on the territory of the Duchy. I can't do anything to those with a higher level than the supernatural. "
Lyonara spread out her hands as she spoke.
From the first day, after discovering that the chaos in the territory had begun to kill the exposed [Worm] on a large scale, the hidden existence quickly realized that Elvin had a strange ability that could affect the whole situation.
They immediately made the [Worm] that had not been exposed maintain silence to avoid Elvin's pursuit.
But to Elvin, the more [Worm] he found, the more common genes that belonged to this race that he could extract, and the more complete their genetic map would be. As long as he divined where the same kind of creatures existed, he would be able to find them.
Today, he finally killed all the [Worm] that had only parasitized human bodies and did not show any abnormalities.
However, Elvin could not help but pinch his glabella. What gave him a headache was not just the cunning opponent who had been cautious until now, but also …
"The World's Favor might not be able to fulfill my wishes, but it shouldn't be too bad for me, right?"
The [Mind Network] projected two scenes in front of Elvin's eyes.
One was the south side of the "World Bridge" that completely separated the north and south of the new continent. The [Worm] that had infiltrated Shilius' territory had started a war. Those who had lost to him were not a big problem, and he could fight to the end.
The other was the battlefield of the Frisian War of Independence on the source continent.
After comparing it with the Snake Witch Sera, some of the people who had gone missing on the Shattered Stars Islands had appeared here and were serving the capitalist loyally.
Although he understood that something was wrong, he really did not have the energy to interfere with the war in Frisia. It could be said that the capitalist had indeed achieved his initial goal of causing trouble for Elvin.
Now, it was useless no matter how many normal [Worm] he killed. If he did not find the person behind the scenes, everything would be in vain.
He touched the [Divine Weapon, Libra Equalization Holy Sword] that had been hanging around his waist. Ever since he received the 3.6 million ransom, it had turned into a "bootlicker" and had been eager to try it out.
"Why don't you just jump out and let me kill you? Whether it's a titular monster, a divine creature, or even … the projection of a demigod! "
After advancing to a Rank Four [Heraldic Knight], with a divine weapon in hand, he was confident that he would not lose to any titled Knight who had formed a [Holy Weapon]. He would even dare to fight a demigod projection head-on.
"As long as I can catch its tail …"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the town.
"Your Majesty, this is bad! It's cholera! Most of the town has been infected with the deadly cholera! "
