Flick!
In the flashing red light, a dozen or so leaves on a tree turned into black crows one after another. However, the moment they rose into the air with a strange caw, a black crow flew into the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lines of fire shot out, and in the blink of an eye, the crows that had just been reborn and did not have time to enjoy their freedom were all blown up.
A hundred meters away, Milan was wearing a black custom-made [Venom Armor] that outlined the contours of his muscles. He spun the two large-caliber revolvers in his hands, [Black Steel], and put them back on his waist.
This type of large-caliber revolver handmade by Elvin used a bullet weight of 22 grams. Its initial speed could reach up to 602 meters per second, and its initial kinetic energy could reach up to 4,000 Joules. Within a hundred steps, a bullet could penetrate a 3-centimeter steel plate.
The barrel was equipped with a blade. Not only could it be used as a long-range weapon, but it could also be used for close-range hacking. It was definitely the king of firearms in the current era.
In addition to Milan's own spatial power, it had completely solved the tedious problem of changing the ammunition of the revolver. [Black Steel] in his hands had become a magical weapon with unlimited ammunition on the battlefield.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
He turned to look at Elvin, who was applauding beside him. His usual cheeky smile was replaced by a determined and solemn expression.
"Although the outcome of the war has not been decided yet, if everything goes as we wish, this will be the battle where Shilius falls from his pedestal, the battle where the Tulip Family becomes the overlord of the new sea, and also the best opportunity for me to get promoted.
This might be the best opportunity in the past two hundred years. I must not let it go! "
Looking at the expression on Milan's face that seemed to be either success or death, Elvin almost wanted to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him warmly to set the mood. "Go on your own, your wife …"
"I don't know how long the old man in the [Clock Tower] can last. Releasing a powerful ancient god is nothing, but the 'mysterious source' and the countless treasures in it have nothing to do with us."
"The most important thing is that we have been tricked by that cunning old man. When the time comes, we might not be the only ones fighting for his inheritance."
The two of them sighed at the same time.
At this time, Milan suddenly pulled out his gun and fired again.
Bang! Bang!
Five hundred meters away, two sparrows passing by were instantly turned into a bloody mist. This distance had long exceeded the effective shooting range of the [Black Steel], but it still didn't miss.
Just as the last Chief Graham, who was qualified to become the [Truth Manifestation], had said, when you fully grasped the changes of time and space, you would realize that the so-called [Fate] was already predestined.
After Milan, who used to be a weakling, obtained the secret scroll of the [Clock Tower], she was no longer the same as before.
.....
Buds... buds...
In the wizard tower belonging to the "School of Curses," the [Golden Olive Triple Crown] made of gold was obviously more damaged than before. Several obvious cracks ran through the top, middle, and bottom layers.
The black, viscous air currents that continued to flow out of it, carrying the fear and unwillingness of human beings when they died and all things ended, converged into an illusory black gem in the sky.
Death Messenger, who looked like a skinny old man, was overjoyed.
What he wanted wasn't for Shilius to become the supreme human being, but after a short period of extreme prosperity.
The kind that represented the rapid collapse of the strongest empire of the human race, the power that went from flourishing to withered, the power that went from strong to weak, the power that went from insufferably arrogant to falling into a quagmire.
Then, the world's strongest curse was born — [Black Olof]!
Also.
The "School of Curses" wizards needed to complete a curse ritual that was strong enough to affect at least a million people, also known as the [Curse of the Fate of the Nation].
One could use witchcraft to attack, or use strategies to take advantage of the situation, or even rely on pure luck.
It was obvious that Death Messenger's luck had come.
"The world's strongest country, stop struggling. Obediently become my strength, kekeke …"
.....
Southern Continent, St. Louis City.
Princess Diana, who was wearing a white silk pajamas, laid lazily on Prince Clement's shoulder. Her soft, jade-like body was fragrant, and her breath was like orchids.
"My dear, is there a reply from His Majesty?"
The members of the "School of Curses" had been slacking off during this period, watching Shilius' situation slide into the abyss. However, at this critical moment, they were not stingy in taking advantage of the situation and adding fuel to the fire.
The prince, who was almost sixty years old, pulled his princess into his arms. Amidst her giggles, he kissed her translucent earlobes and laughed aloud.
"Baby, you're really my lucky star. His Majesty has agreed to send out the [Legendary Warship — Crimson Dawn] to help us take down Shilius' last colony, Lobito.
It will expand our territory to 8.7 million square kilometers and make us the number one force in the Southern Continent.
That vast land will be our son's playground. Are you happy? "
Diana's eyes shone with a strange light. She, who had become the core of the royal family, had long known about this legendary warship. It was known as the world's fastest legendary warship and had the miraculous [Legendary Warship Skill — Dawn Homing].
It meant that it could run as fast as dawn, especially when sailing from east to west. It could always be within the range of dawn. If there weren't any storms blocking it, it could travel at full speed and complete a trip around the world in 24 hours.
"I'm very much looking forward to that day."
After clearing the Shilius Empire from the north, it wasn't that there weren't any disadvantages. That was that the "Anti-Shilius Alliance" that had been established in the New Continent was quickly collapsing.
The relationship between the countries that were seemingly united but actually divided became even more subtle.
The ambitious Sack Empire was already unwilling to be left out.
Not only was it for the last disputed area in the north that belonged to Shilius, the world's number one silver mine, "Potosi", it was also arguing with the successor of Shilius, the Duchy of Calot.
It was also planning to take advantage of Shilius' last colony in the Southern Continent.
"The empires of the continent have dreams of crossing the seas and the ocean empires have ambitions of conquering the continent."
Of the two countries that dared to call themselves empires on the old continent, this was the true portrayal of the Sack Empire and the Shilius Empire.
One had to bear the weight of the crown to wear it!
At this moment, countless people in the world wanted to see Shilius who had too many benefits fall, so that they could take a big bite of this fat meat.
.....
Shilius, in the domed palace known as the Museum of Ten Thousand Countries.
Ding dong! Ding dong! …
What was letting out this beautiful sound was a beautiful golden "Peacock Chime Clock".
On a three meter tall oak tree with lush foliage, there was a beautiful peacock standing there. To its left was an owl with a gem for its eyes in a cage and to its right was an imposing looking rooster.
Their postures were beautiful and lifelike, and every detail made it seem like they couldn't be bought.
There were twelve mushrooms growing under the tree and at the top of the largest mushroom, there was a golden dragonfly flapping its wings. Its two pairs of wings were as thin as paper, making people unable to help praising its heavenly craftsmanship.
When it was time, the peacock standing on the golden stump would slowly spread its beautiful golden wings and turn in a 360 degree circle.
The various animals and plants around it would also perform various movements. With the sound of the clock chiming, the entire scene was like a play that made people want to slap the table and cry out in praise.
This was the "Peacock Chime Clock" that was built nearly two hundred years ago to commemorate the kingdom's conquest of the Peacock Archipelago.
It was made of gold and silver and decorated with various gems. The craftsmanship was meticulous to the point of perfection, and it could be said to be a graceful and luxurious queen!
The expressionless Philip II reclined on a carved oak chair covered with an ivory mat and stared at the large, symbolic clock in a daze.
His finger tapped on the armrest with the ticking frequency of the clock, and the strength of a Rank 3 Knight inadvertently knocked a small hole in the clock.
It was obvious that the upcoming battle had given the emperor a great deal of pressure.
He was muttering to himself. That was the capital that he had been counting every day recently.
"My invincible fleet has more than three hundred and ten main battleships of Rank 3 and above, and the total fleet size is more than two thousand and two hundred battleships.
Even if I lost half of the Second Fleet a year ago, I still have more than two hundred and fifty battleships of Rank 3 and above. No one in the world can compare!
[Sea King], [Royal Alphonso], [Glorious Divine Grace], [Golden Sparrow], these four legendary battleships are unparalleled in all countries!
I also have my ancestor, 'Supreme Knight', 'Steel Furnace', and 'Bone Crusher', three titled Knights. Two of them have already created their own titled sacred equipment.
There was also the Great Wizard of the 'School of Curses', Andon, who had signed a contract with them. The Wizards of the 'Elemental Breath' School had a grudge against the rebels and had already jumped onto the Empire's war chariot. In the final battle with Frisia, the Wizards of the 'Yellow Sand Association' (Chapter 215) had promised to restrain Heimar's forces.
I, the greatest emperor in the human world, will not lose, will not … "
At this moment.
"Dang! Dang! Dang! "
It was the hour again, and the chime of the chime clock rang again.
Perhaps it was because two hundred years had been too long, but this large grandfather clock was not well maintained.
Right in front of Philip II, the delicate peacock's head spun a few times and suddenly … fell off.
Dong!
Although it fell on the ground, it also smashed into Philip II's heart.
