Domed Palace, Santa Cruz.
Even though the flames of war had spread across half of the world, none of the chaos seemed to have affected this place. In the beginning of summer, the Museum of Ten Thousand Countries was filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
The benefits had been promised, the forces that should be united had been united, and the forces that should be sent out had all been sent out. The remaining forces could only be left to the fate of the empire.
Since there was no point in being anxious, Philip II regained some of the bearing that an emperor should have, at least on the surface.
Surrounded by a group of court ladies, Philip II, who rarely had time to spare, accompanied his queen, Theresa, to enjoy the flowers in the exquisitely designed royal garden that was meticulously tended by hundreds of gardeners.
After touring for a while, they came to a corridor built with white marble. Philip II pulled his queen and sat down leisurely.
He lovingly teased his son, who was also the crown prince of the Shilius Empire, Aldrich, who was lying in her arms.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa …"
He casually picked a beautiful gorse flower from a branch hanging down from the ceiling of the corridor and put it on his wife's hair that was still as thin as paper.
There were many beautiful flowers in May, but he chose this gorse flower. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.
"Your Majesty …"
"Hmm? What's wrong, my beautiful queen? "
"I … didn't expect the kingdom's bankers and merchants to be so ambitious and cause so much trouble for the empire."
The news that the Invincible Fleet was ambushed in the three military ports of Galicia, Valencia, and Algeciras and suffered heavy losses was immediately reported back.
Although the nobles of Santa Cruz did not believe that the Frisians would dare to attack their homeland, they were still outraged by such shameless behavior. At this moment, the palace was filled with voices of condemnation.
Also, the rich Frisian Kingdom was Theresa's dowry, and the people there were also her people. Now that they turned against her, she was in an awkward situation.
Theresa only criticized the rebellion of the people, but she did not mention the empire's tyrannical policies at all. She also understood the principle that a woman's head would be determined by her husband's butt.
At this time, the Empress, who still looked like a young girl, was frowning slightly. She looked pitiful, like a pure woman who was wholeheartedly thinking for her husband.
Sure enough, Philip II, whose mental state seemed to be better than a few days ago, patted her hand and comforted her.
"Theresa, with a true god like the God of Black Wings fanning the flames behind us, how can we, mere mortals, really change the situation? We can only fight.
You don't have to take this matter to heart. Is there someone in the Imperial Palace who is spreading rumors?
I'll give the order now. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of you … "
Poof —!
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and fell backwards with his head tilted back.
"Ah! Your Majesty! "
"Quick, ask the Sect Master!"
Amidst the exclamations of the court ladies.
Queen Theresa, whose face was splashed with blood, stiffened. After a moment of panic, she subconsciously hugged the swaddling cloth in her hands tightly.
For some reason, it was as if … In the blink of an eye, that had become her final pillar of support.
.....
A few minutes ago, in the Andaman Strait.
Woo woo woo …
A giant aerial tornado connected the sky and the sea. Outside it was a roaring, high-speed vortex wall of clouds. There were also countless small vortexes swimming in it, making ear-piercing screeches.
Among them, there was a huge black shadow that spiraled hundreds of meters into the sky. It was then thrown out of the tornado and began a thrilling free fall.
Kaboom! Kaboom!
Two waves of rockets chased after it and turned into the most dazzling fireworks.
Although the sharp wind blades that could tear apart the body of a Tier 3 Great Knight were completely ineffective against the [Sea King].
However, in the ten seconds that it continued to fall, it was enough for the rockets in the air that whistled past like fish to attack it twice. Then, when it fell into the sea like a meteor, it would trigger another "damage transfer".
It was like a Contra with thirty lives. It kept tumbling in the air, but in a short ten seconds, it died three times on the spot. It was simple and efficient.
Sigh, this is fun!
Elvin's fleet had been sent out of the area that was ruled by the thunderstorm and hurricane by controlling the sea current. Only a group of high-level Transcendents and three legendary warships were left here.
The [Sea Soul] that was constantly being repaired and the [Theseus] that could be said to be undamaged was facing the [Gorse] that had temporarily obtained the [Legendary Warship Skill — Dream Cruise]. It was like a tiger that had nowhere to bite a porcupine.
They could only drive it to the edge of the battlefield and let Elvin take down the [Sea King] that was the most difficult to deal with first.
"It's not that easy!"
Grand Wizard Meredith of the "Hurricane Nest" who was close to Elvin raised the [Storm Idol] in his hand.
This treasure that came from the "South Wind Nation" that was contaminated by the power of the "Howling Storm" Bilreth suddenly shot out a bright pillar of light that shot into the sky.
Elvin immediately felt his control over the storm begin to decrease rapidly. Every time he used a bit of power, he had to fight with someone.
However, just as this grand wizard was distracted by other things …
"Lalala … Lalala …"
A gentle voice that sounded like a flowing stream in the forest sounded from the mouth of his opponent, the "Snake Witch" Sera.
The beautiful witch wearing a thin veil moved her eyes. Her black hair that was originally tied behind her head fell down. She stood on her toes that were painted red and twisted her waist, slowly dancing in the air like a beautiful snake.
Buzz buzz buzz …
When her slender waist moved, the shiny ruby on her belly button also swayed gently. Her red dance dress fluttered, and her snow-white legs were faintly discernible and seductive.
Not only her opponent Meredith, even Marshall and Farhad, who were fighting beside her, couldn't help but shift their gazes over. Even the female Nymphs and Anita were a little shaken when they saw this scene, but they forcefully suppressed the restlessness in their hearts.
Then.
Hiss —!
A yellow supernatural light began to flicker in her serpentine eyes. The witch's long hair suddenly turned into wriggling vipers. It only took an instant for her to transform from extreme beauty to extreme terror.
Countless pairs of snake eyes emitted a bright yellow light like torches.
[Spell-like spell — Petrifying Magic Eye]
After completing the path migration and receiving the support of the [Mysterious Source — Tree of Life], the power of Sera's Magic Eye had obviously increased by another level.
Boom!
Under Sera's AOE attack, Meredith's spellcasting was directly interrupted. His body began to gradually stiffen, which was the precursor of being petrified.
However, this grand wizard who had been roaming Celebes Island for many years reacted quickly. He once again activated his elemental transformation and turned into a gust of wind, far away from the battle. He didn't dare to come closer. Marshall beside him also did the same.
However, it was inevitable that there were stone fragments flying in the air. Those were the parts of his body that couldn't be recovered.
Among the three Grand Sorcerers, only 'Yellow Sand Society' Farhad, who walked a different path from them, was a step slower. Even though he had abruptly scattered into bats that filled the sky, about a third of them still turned into stones and fell into the sea.
Thanks to the [Vampire Mask] that had been tainted by the power of the demons in the lower realm, it allowed the wearer to obtain the "immortality" of vampires and a series of spell-like abilities.
Otherwise, the "Cunning Fate Wizard" who had just entered the third rank might have directly died when facing the strongest attack of a senior grand wizard like Sera.
However, he was then surrounded by Anita, Sera, Nymphs, Jeros, and Princeton who had already freed up their hands. Jeros stared at the grand wizard who was covered in bandages and smiled.
"Heh, although you're a small fry, you won't return empty-handed from this trip!"
However, they weren't the first to make a move. Instead, it was the prepared Milan.
Clep —
Two hourglass-like marks appeared above his head and Farhad's head.
[Hourglass of Time]
Time acceleration slowed down and stopped, forming a time bond with the opponent. If he accelerated, the opponent would slow down. If he slowed down, the opponent would accelerate. The biggest side effect was that as time passed, the body would truly age.
Looking at the two "Elemental Breathing School" wizards who had already rushed into the sky without any intention of rescuing him, Farhad cursed silently. However, he wasn't willing to resign himself to death.
"It's not that easy to take the life of a Cunning Fate Wizard!"
He took out a piece of moss that grew from the corpse's head and chewed it in his mouth. Then, he shouted loudly.
Stab —!
The bones in his body pierced through his skin and flesh. Then, the bone spikes in his joints continued to split. Ten, a hundred, a thousand … They turned into a dense white forest of bones and pierced towards the five people who were surrounding him from all directions.
[Bone Prison of Imprisonment]
Only the head suddenly left the body and rushed towards the sea under his feet. It was obvious that he had realized that things were not going to work for Shilius anymore.
"You can't escape! You're suffering from a spell backlash, and your magic power isn't flowing smoothly! "
Milan, who was outside the battle circle, assumed the role of support. She flicked a gold coin and put it on the back of her hand.
"I'm guessing it's words!"
When she moved her hand away, it was indeed words. Then, she saw the head that was moving slowly. Its eyes were suddenly filled with blood, and its movements were slightly sluggish.
[Witchcraft — Dice of Probability]
In the words of Graham, the head of the School of Clock Tower, fate was already predetermined. It was even written into the first particle at the birth of the world.
However, before they possessed a power that even [Truth Concretion] could not possess, most people would not believe that fate was predetermined. For example, Graham, who stubbornly refused to die and still wanted to see the members of the School of Clock Tower create miracles.
Another example was this [Witchcraft — Dice of Probability], which was developed by the School of Prophecy.
Would the gods roll the dice or not?
In the macroscopic world, many wizards believed that the universe was a classical physics model. It moved mechanically like a clock, and every instant determined the outcome of the next instant.
This spell could be used to control probability through dice or coin games, pushing the development of things in the direction the caster desired. When this ability was developed to the extreme, as long as there was a possibility, it would definitely happen!
The attacks of a Titled Magus and five Great Wizards landed on the head at the same time.
"No —!"
Under the control of Milan, who was an old enemy of the Yellow Sand Association, Farhad's third grade 'life' came to an end. Then, he killed the 'lives' of three other second grade Extraordinaries, and five different first grade Extraordinaries.
This' Fate Trickster Sorcerer 'finally turned into dust.
At this moment, the two elemental wizards had already disappeared into the horizon without looking back.
Just like the old saying of the ancients, those with no background would be beaten to death by monkeys, while those with background would live well.
However, it did not matter anymore.
Now that she had personally witnessed a huge turning point in history, coupled with the life of this Fate Trickster Sorcerer, Milan's path ahead had already opened up. It would not be long before there would be another Great Wizard in the duchy.
At this point, there was no longer any suspense in the war.
* Whoosh … *
Countless butterflies of light filled the surroundings of the [Gorse] and the remaining half of the Invincible Fleet, and then suddenly disappeared from the material world. Half an hour had not passed yet, and the [Order of the Late King] was still in effect.
They wanted to take the [Sea King] with them, but the legendary warship was in combat mode and was constantly being bombarded by rockets. There was no way they could bring it to the Spiritual Realm.
The moment the fleet disappeared.
* Rumble! *
With a loud bang, the musical warships above the battlefield all disappeared.
When the [Sea King] fell from the sky again, it was already a pile of broken junk. Elvin stored it in his [Sorcerer's Garden].
As for Prince Rodrik, he had already been reduced to ashes by the rockets.
At this moment, Philip II, who was far away on the mainland, vomited blood and fell to the ground.
The [Sea King], which was filled with the power of a medium, was deeply connected to the Shilius Empire and Philip II.
Since the fall of the empire would cause the [Triple Crown of Golden Olives] to generate a terrifying curse that could brew [Black Olof], how could Philip II be unharmed after the [Sea King] sunk?
"Kill! For Her Majesty, take down the Peacock Islands! "
"For our goddess, the 'Sea King'!"
"Haha! We are the new dominators of the sea!"
When the fleet of the alliance cheered as if they had been injected with chicken blood and charged toward the 'Peacock Islands' that were so close that they could no longer resist …
Elvin, on the other hand, stroked his spoils of war, [World Conqueror's Sword], and looked to the west of the source continent.
It was as if he could see the central battlefield between Shilius and the Lowland Republic in this great battle from thousands of miles away. He muttered to himself,
He muttered to himself, "This war of national fate is not over yet. We should pursue the enemy bravely instead of learning from the overlord …"
At this moment, although the last root of Shilius that supported the empire had been cut off, he still had three legendary warships and three Titled Knights. He had too much power left.
If they wanted to stomp Shilius into the dust, they would have to sacrifice at least one Titled Knight! It all depended on whether the other countries had the ability to step on ten thousand feet for Shilius!
