Psst!
A cold glint flashed across the blade, and bright red blood gushed out from his arteries, splattering on the ground like a blossoming flower of death.
When the young Shilius soldier clutched at his neck and collapsed to the ground, the only thing that could be seen in his gradually darkening eyes was the dim figure of a barefooted, greenish-blue figure wielding two shortswords in his hands.
In the next moment, he had completely vanished into thin air.
"Argh … Ghost …"
On his deathbed, the soldier had already recognized his attacker. It was the Ghostlizard Shadow Bandit who often appeared and disappeared without a trace on the battlefield. However, having his arteries severed by his opponent's signature [Sword of Death], he could no longer speak to warn his companions.
* Clang! Clang! Clang! *
Then, the sound of people falling to the ground and the clamor of close-quarters combat came from the camp behind him. No one knew who would have the last laugh.
On this battlefield that could be called the quagmire of the Empire, not only were there assassins from the assassin organization Vulture's Nest, but other than the Blood Hand who had intentions but had been removed by Elvin, there were also corrupted sorcerers, unorthodox Extraordinaries, cultists, prophets, mercenaries who lived on the edge of their blades … There were all sorts of people.
The bankers who believed in gold and the Lord of Gold might be even more convinced of the principle that "wealth is power" than the [Holy Sword of Libra].
Under the guidance of the idea that "there is nothing money can't buy, only not enough money", the bankers wantonly spent money, and countless Extraordinaries took action. Even someone as powerful as Elvin had to run around for money from time to time, let alone them.
On that day two months ago.
Just as William Orange had predicted, as the ancestor of the Shilius royal family and the former king, the "Supreme Knight" who was in charge of the development of the current war, he decided not to make the final decision.
On the surface, the three Titled Knight who seemed to have the upper hand against the three Tier 4 Extraordinaries did not make the decision to gamble the fate of the empire.
Because even if he could wipe out the enemy with the trump card in his hand, if an accident happened and it accidentally turned into a one-versus-three situation, it would only be a tragic situation of winning the war and losing the empire.
That was something he absolutely could not accept.
The Tulip Family was not the only one who coveted the position of overlord of the Shilius. Sark, Heimar, and Atlan were all hungry wolves.
Therefore, a large number of Extraordinaires, mainly consisting of Imperial Knight and military clergy, were sent into the battlefield.
Considering that the 'School of Curses' would not be able to participate in the battle due to the backlash, the upper echelons of the Empire began to contact the 'Elemental Breathing School' of Celebes Island as their external aid.
In these two months where blood and fire danced, the border had become a veritable swamp of death for low-tier Transcendents and ordinary soldiers. Even peak Class 2 Transcendents could lose their lives in an instant.
They were no longer human beings with flesh and blood. They were just numbers in the eyes of their respective commanders.
Of course, there were two sides to every coin.
It was also through this opportunity that the higher-ups of Shilius not only found an excuse to completely repudiate the huge national debt of the "Nederland Banking Group."
Following the example of the Anti-Shilius Alliance, they began to distribute "privateer licenses" on a large scale and started a great carnival of legal looting of the merchant ships of the "Low Ground Republic". Many of them were warships of the Imperium that were not disguised at all.
Obviously, due to the pressure of life, even the Overlord Shilius had finally become what he hated the most.
Even three days ago, as the first batch of captive soldiers released by the Duchy of Garot crossed the sea and were sent into the battlefield again, Philip II also sent out a [Legendary Battleship – Divine Grace Glory].
This battleship blocked the outer sea of the Low Ground Republic and completely cut off the supply of this small country that was prosperous in trade but poor in resources. It was ready to catch a turtle in a jar.
A victory on the mortal battlefield was also a victory.
As for whether or not a large number of civilians would be "accidentally injured" and cause a miserable scene of starving people everywhere, it was not within the scope of their consideration.
Until today, the situation finally took a turn for the better.
Whoosh!
A dragon-headed pirate ship that looked like an enlarged version of the ancient Icelandic pirate ship appeared on the surface of the sea outside of Antwerp like a bolt of lightning. It had a ferocious dragon head with sails and paddles that looked like an enlarged version of the ancient Icelandic pirate ship.
Following the orders of the pope, without saying anything, it launched an attack on the [Divine Grace Glory] stationed here.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! … "
As if there were countless berserkers roaring angrily from their chests, a huge light shadow intertwined with blood and holiness appeared above the battleship. It was a majestic metal palace.
The walls of the palace were lined with extremely polished sharp spears, so the light shined brightly. The roof of the palace was paved with pure gold shields, so it was unbreakable.
Then.
Countless silhouettes of berserkers holding golden spears emerged at the gate of the palace. They roared together and abruptly threw their dazzling golden spears at [Glorious Divine Grace], which was five kilometers away.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Countless shining sharp spears turned into a golden storm and were about to swallow the legendary battleship that belonged to Shilius in the next moment.
The gigantic dragon-headed ship that belonged to the ancient pirates, the [Legendary Battleship – Valhalla], launched its strongest attack from the very beginning, the [Legendary Battleship Technique – War Temple]. This was the manifestation of part of the authority of the God of Black Wings.
It contained the power of [Unjust War] and [Violence].
Beep!
The [Divine Grace Glory] on the other side reacted quickly.
A beautiful female figure wearing a golden helmet, silver armor, and a blood-red cloak flew into the sky while holding a shining spear and shield. She rode a large warhorse that looked like it was made of burning clouds.
Without any fear, he clashed head-on with the spears that filled the sky and shouted, "Break!"
The burning clouds behind her suddenly rose and swept away the golden storm. The female Knight also raised the spear in her hand. At the same time, she turned into a burning meteor and fell from the sky.
Kaboom!
She crashed into a golden shield wall formed by countless golden shields in the sky. With a loud noise that made one's teeth ache, the entire legendary battleship was knocked back dozens of meters.
This was already the most powerful battle that belonged to mortals below the peak Transcendents in this war.
[Legendary Battleship Skill – Valkyrie]: Within 30 kilometers of the battleship, a female Grand Knight is granted the combat power equivalent to a rank-4 titled battle pet warrior. This gave Shilius a kingdom guardian out of nowhere.
It was also one of the rare examples of a legendary battleship's ability being made public. Of course, it was also a great deterrent. (Chapter 595)
In fact, the trump card of the Blackwing God, which had been prepared for many years for this plan, was far more than this.
For example, what Elvin and Olivia encountered back then.
Half of the ship was sailing on the sea, and the other half was sailing in the dreams of living creatures. It was a nightmare formed by countless ghosts, wraiths, evil spirits, and even some high-grade spiritual origin — [Creepy Dream].
Its image came from the memories of all the spirits that formed it, as if it was pieced together by the concepts of all ships from ancient times to the present. Those who were awake could not see it, but those who did not want to see it could board it in their dreams.
Of course, this ship was also a legendary battleship, and it was also one of the top ones among the legendary battleships. It already had a hint of the Clock Tower that contained multiple small worlds.
But just like the "source of nightmares" Hypnos, without a suitable captain to unify the will of all the spirits, it would never listen to orders.
There was also the [Sea Soul] that the Blackwing Cult had provided to Huggins with raw materials and handed over to the Black Sea Goddess, Hipponoa to build. It had also been regarded as a cyst by them. Unfortunately, fate made fools of them, and in the end, it had benefited Elvin.
However, there was a situation that was extremely terrifying. Now that the Blackwing God was constantly accepting ancient gods and evil gods, the Black Sea Goddess, Hipponoa, might also be one of their targets.
.....
While the coastal areas in the western part of the Old Continent were caught in a whirlpool of death that no one could extricate themselves from, the Duchy of Garot in the New Continent was filled with a jubilant and celebratory atmosphere.
As the most significant celebration since the founding of the duchy, the wedding of the Grand Duke and the Duchess was, of course, extremely grand. Half of the Duchy's administrative system, the Adept Tower, and White Swan Castle were all making preparations for this luxurious wedding.
And a week ago, Milan and Apsuya's wedding had already been completed.
Although Elvin and Milan had planned to hold a mass wedding together, the scale was, after all, different. Elvin did not lack the money, so in the end, he decided to hold his and Milan's wedding separately.
As for Milan and Apsuya, they were ahead of them because even if they could wait, their seven-month-old child couldn't wait any longer.
A week later, it would be Elvin and Olivia's wedding.
At this time, Elvin was wearing a crown and a black military uniform. He stood at the entrance of White Swan Castle, personally welcoming the most important guest to him.
Whoosh —
As the light butterfly dissipated, three figures suddenly appeared in front of Elvin, two tall and one petite.
The two tall figures, one in the military uniform of a major, and the other in the military uniform of a major, were Uncle Gör and Ilante, who had matured a lot over the years.
Standing in the middle of them was a woman who looked about 20 years old. She had the same brown hair and black eyes as Elvin, but looked younger than Ilante.
The moment she saw Elvin, she burst into a smile and rushed forward to hug Elvin. She tiptoed and gently pressed her cheek against his.
"My little Elvin! You've really grown up! "
"Hahaha, auntie, you look just like my little sister now!"
At such an important moment, how could he miss out on family?
