Thales' brain paused for three seconds before he regained his ability to think.
'Inside …
'A Mystic?
What a joke! '
Thinking of the Air Mystic and his' human ball ', Thales felt a lingering fear in his heart. He exhaled. "Fortunately, it is sealed …"
Katerina Corleone looked at Thales' reaction and furrowed her brows deeply.
Serena, who was all smiles, licked her lips and shook her head. "You misunderstood."
Thales raised his head in confusion.
"This Mystic is not 'sealed', but 'imprisoned'."
"The seal is permanent.
"As for 'imprisonment' …" Serena looked at Thales' unpleasant expression. She pointed at the black coffin under his buttocks and chuckled.
She chuckled and said, "It can be released at any time."
As soon as she finished speaking …
Thales lowered his head in disbelief. He looked at the black coffin under him and felt its cold temperature.
'Released?'
The next moment, his face was filled with terror. He jumped up like an ejection seat at lightning speed!
If Jines were here, she would probably be very pleased that her training had finally paid off.
He hurriedly jumped down from the black coffin and fell on the snow-covered ground. He just wanted to get as far away from the black coffin as possible!
"Are you crazy?!"
Thales roared at the giggling Serena in confusion and resentment.
"You actually kept a Mystic who can be released at any time … for a whole month!"
Serena smiled nonchalantly.
"This is nothing. The Corleone Family has guarded this secret for more than six hundred years.
"Otherwise, why do you think Her Majesty the Night Queen would travel thousands of miles to come here? Why did she even bring the elite Sacred Blood Army?
"This is the Corleone Family. This is the promise father made to the Blood Thorn Empress. It concerns the survival of the Corleone Family and the Night Kingdom!"
Thales listened to these words in a daze.
His brain automatically started to work.
'More than six hundred years. A suspicious number.
'Blood Thorn Empress? 'What a familiar title.
'That's not right.
On the continent, the leaders of almost all the countries ranged from archdukes to kings, but those who could be called emperors were only the emperors of the Ancient Empire and the Final Empire, right?
'Why is there someone who is an' empress'? 'Could it be the emperor of the ancient empire?
'It's also possible. After all, the lifespan of the Blood Clan …
'Wait.'
Thales shuddered.
This was not the first time he had heard of this title.
A memory from a long time ago opened up in Thales' mind.
Those were the mutterings of the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered — the Air Mystic.
[Coincidence, coincidence, hehe — I'm beginning to understand where Empress Hellen's power lies.]
The Blood Thorn Empress.
Empress Hellen.
Their title was' Emperess'.
And — the survival of the Corleone family?
Thales furrowed his brows in deep thought.
At this moment, Katerina's cold voice interrupted, "Enough."
"These are all top secrets of the family that cannot be announced."
"Yes." Serena smiled happily and pouted at Thales. "But now that he knows, what should we do?"
Thales felt his skin crawl as he watched Katerina's purple eyes turn towards him.
Her eyes were pure, sparkling, moving, and overflowing with killing intent.
"You seem to know what Mystics are," the queen said coldly. "How unfortunate."
Thales shuddered.
"Wait!" Thales looked anxiously at the smiling Serena, then at Katerina, whose face was filled with killing intent.
'Sh * t.
It can't be. '
"The secret must be kept," Katerina said slowly.
Thales' brain began to operate at a speed that was several times faster than usual!
The Night Queen looked at him quietly. Her right hand began to transform into a pure white claw.
"Wait!" The anxious Thales struggled with his hands that were tied behind his back.
In the next moment, Katerina's figure disappeared from his field of vision.
Thales was instantly scared out of his wits!
Two pitch-black, gigantic winged monsters collided head-on in the air without any buffering.
* Bang! *
At that moment, even the air seemed to have been shaken!
The smaller monster shuddered abruptly. With a muffled groan and tremble, it flew backwards.
The larger monster had the upper hand. It used its fist, which was full of bone spurs and sharp claws, to strike its opponent's left chest with a tremendous force!
Blood splattered!
"Do you want to compete with me in strength? Are you from the Empire? "Hestad said fiercely with a changed voice.
Chris roared furiously. Clutching the wound on his left chest, he flapped his gigantic wings and quickly retreated.
However, Hestad had no intention of letting him go.
Hestad's True Form leaned towards brownish-black. Compared to his opponent, he was even more ferocious and gigantic. His bone spurs and sharp claws were also sharper. His pitch-black skin was covered with a hard shell. From afar, he looked like a black warrior in heavy armor.
His thick and heavy wings stirred up strong winds as he pounced towards Chris.
The True Form Chris gritted his fangs and raised his arm to block.
* Rip! * The sharp claws tore open Chris' black right arm.
Blood splattered violently again.
"We know each other too well. We both know how this battle will end!" Hestad bared his teeth and roared. He did not stop his attacks. "Every time we fight before the throne, it always ends with my victory!"
He pierced Chris' right shoulder with one claw. Chris roared in pain. Black blood flowed out and soaked Hestad's palm.
Hestad flapped his wings and clamped down on the immobile Chris. With a shocking momentum, they descended towards the ground!
Immediately after, he clenched his right claw into a fist and mercilessly punched down!
* Boom! *
His fist, which carried great force, punched Chris to the ground!
Under the terrifying force, huge cracks appeared on the snow-covered ground.
The snow and dust all dissipated, revealing the two ferocious Blood Clansmen's True Form figures. The gigantic figure pinned the smaller one to the ground.
Hestad pressed his fist against Chris and said coldly, "See, this is the ending.
"No one can block my power, no one can break my armor — the perfect balance between offense and defense.
"How could you possibly have a chance?"
Chris seemed to be severely injured. His chest had caved in from Hestad's punch.
However, even though he was on the brink of death, he actually moved his face and laughed bitterly. "Yes, I still remember that the Night Wing King praised your ability.
"'Strength, speed, toughness. The simpler an ability is, the more deadly it is.' … That's what he said."
Chris coughed out a mouthful of black blood and laughed.
"'Battle Wing' Hestad Corleone and 'Flash Wing' Simon Corleone." The old butler closed his eyes and sneered. "They respectively led the Sacred Blood Army's assault warriors and scouts. When they worked together, they were almost invincible on the battlefield of the Peninsular War …"
Hestad's expression gradually changed.
"And you are 'Dark Wing' Chris Corleone. You are His Majesty's most trusted military advisor and assistant. Do you remember?" Hestad's expression turned cold as he interrupted him.
"With the logistics officer 'Red Wing' Li Corleone, we are the 'Night King's Four Terrifying Wings'. Our reputation is known throughout the Eastern Peninsula!"
Hestad gritted his teeth and trembled as he looked at Chris. His eyes were filled with hatred.
"Three hundred years ago, we were His Majesty's strongest wings. We followed him across the Sea of Eradication and fought to the other side of the world!
"During that era, we occupied the Eastern Coast of the Sea of Eradication and had twenty percent of the Eternal Oil quota! Fifteen percent of the Eastern Peninsula's Crystal Drop Mine!
"The five clans of Grand Banquet Hill would send letters every month, hoping to maintain their status and join the Night Wing King's banner! Even the Silver Wolves of Wild Vast Mountain, the Crimson Wolves of Ceri Plains, and the three great orc tribes of Desert, Glacier, and Black Mountain all sent people to pledge their loyalty to His Majesty! "
Hearing this, Chris sighed dejectedly. Hestad, on the other hand, gritted his teeth. His ferocious face was filled with an eerie coldness.
"During the Peninsular War, even the two poles of the Eastern Peninsula like Mane of Night and Hanbol did not dare to underestimate the Night Kingdom and His Majesty's power. With fear and flattery, they worshipped him as the supreme commander of the allied army!
"We once worked together and crushed Eckstedt's army, along with their pride, under Dragon Clouds City! His Majesty personally beheaded the 'King of Wrath'!
"During those days, we tore the dwarves' armor and weapons into scrap metal, and trapped the Sacred Tree Kingdom's elven army in Elaphure City!
"At Arunde Castle, we slaughtered all the reinforcements from Constellation and Camus Union!"
Chris, who had his chest caved in and was panting bitterly, only shut his eyes tightly.
"At Prestige Orchid Snowfield, we gathered behind His Majesty's flag, and together with Chara, Kaplan, and Midier, the three most outstanding heroes in the history of the Western Peninsula, and even in human history, we launched the most epic battle in the world after the Battle of Eradication!
"From the Battle of Eradication, that hellish battlefield … we lived and died together with His Majesty … for a whole four hundred years!
"You damned citizen of the Empire!"
Chris lowered his head and sighed.
Hestad's red eyes burned with anger and hatred. "But after His Majesty left, you betrayed the Corleone Family.
"How dare you!
"Chris Corleone!"
"Without the life His Majesty bestowed upon you, the family name he bestowed upon you, the power he bestowed upon you …
"You were just a small deputy general in the Final Empire, waiting for death with your eyes closed!
"Christamul Linka!"
"Without His Majesty, you are nothing!
"How dare you betray him and seek refuge with His Majesty's murderer!
"How dare you!"
The two ferocious True Form Blood Clansmen panted roughly and rapidly. They were silent for a while.
Chris was silent for a while, but he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and laughed involuntarily.
"Ah, since we're talking about that tyrant, there's something you still don't know." Chris licked the blood at the corner of his mouth and raised his pitch-black head. His face was full of mockery. "Do you know why every time we fight, the Night Wing King always calls for you to stop when you have the upper hand?"
Hestad pulled the other party closer to his ferocious face and said with a smile, "Is His Majesty afraid that a weakling like you will be crushed by my fists?"
"No." Chris's expression was fierce.
"He is afraid that if we continue fighting, you will …
"Be killed by me."
Hestad was stunned for a moment. Then, he opened his mouth wide and laughed loudly with the abnormally deep voice of a True Form Blood Clansman. "Kill me? Why, are you going to use that special corrosive ability of yours? "
He raised his palm that was covered in Chris's blood. "Your strong acidic blood … is very effective against other people, but unfortunately, it cannot corrode through my True Form Armor.
"This is absolute defense!"
Chris was restrained by Hestad. He did not reply and only laughed.
Hestad felt a slight chill in his heart.
'What's going on?
What trump card does he actually have? '
But Hestad still clenched his fist and aimed it at Chris's head.
His hundreds of years of military service made Hestad Corleone decide that he would no longer hesitate for the sake of his former comrade. He was prepared to completely take the other party's life.
How long was 0.1 seconds?
Thales would tell you that it was enough for him to close his eyes and roar out a word!
Hence, the moment the murderous Katerina disappeared, the prince closed his eyes and roared loudly.
"Covendier!"
The rapid wind blew past his face.
Thales shut his eyes tightly and breathed heavily.
"Ha … Ha …"
He opened his eyes slowly.
Katerina's black, terrifying, sharp claws were an inch away from his face.
"What did you say?" Katerina narrowed her beautiful, mesmerizing eyes and said slowly.
'Escaped … I escaped this disaster.'
Thales panted uncontrollably and said nervously,
"It's Covendier! Was it Zayen Covendier who told you that Serena was in the convoy? "
"You know quite a lot, huh." Katerina snorted softly and spread her claws slightly. "Then all the more reason for you to die."
Thales, who saw that his life was at stake, felt his skin crawl. He could not be bothered with the cadence of his speech. He spat out the words he had just thought of in an unparalleled, fluent, and unstoppable manner.
"He definitely did not tell you that this convoy is actually an important diplomat group from Constellation to Eckstedt, and that there is also the only bloodline heir of the Constellation Royal Family among them. Then, if you kill me, you will get into a lot of trouble, right?!"
After Thales spat out these words, he continued to pant. He sat down paralyzed with his forehead drenched in sweat.
Katerina's purple pupils quivered!
"Jadestar Royal Family … heir … Could it be … twelve years ago …" she mumbled, but she immediately thought of something.
The Night Queen slowly retracted her claws.
* Clap! *
* Clap! *
* Clap! *
Applause came from the side.
"As expected of my ally." Serena, who had been watching from the side for a long time, applauded enthusiastically. "It's just that …"
Serena grinned. "Prince Thales, how can you be so sure that she did not purposely come to kill you?"
Katerina's gaze became fierce again. She turned towards the lolita-like Serena.
"To ensure my safety, from the second day onwards, I no longer wore any Nine-Pointed Star emblems and symbols. Oh yes, you can find a Nine-Pointed Star pin in the left pocket of my shirt." Thales sighed.
Katerina took out the pin from his pocket and immediately furrowed her brows.
"And this … Her Majesty the Queen never revealed any intention to kill anyone. She said 'kill them all'. Even the war between the two sides was instigated by you, Serine." Thales smiled bitterly and said, "You're right.
Thales smiled bitterly and said, "I just figured it out. The twenty of you, a group of elites with sensitive identities and abilities, crossed the sea to come here. Without the support of the local forces, how could you easily enter the border? As for the Constellation nobles who are connected to the Corleone Family and can even provide their family's ships …
"Only Covendier is left."
Hearing this, Katerina exhaled slowly. Looking at the Nine-Pointed Star Pin in her hand, her gaze turned cold. "Damn Covendier."
"The friendship between the Corleone Family and the Covendier Family, the Blood Fang Family and the Tricolor Iris Flower has come to an end," she said slowly.
Thales finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that in front of this powerful queen, his life was temporarily saved.
Katerina held the pin tightly in her palm and muttered,
"Covendier's people only told us that the Corleone Family's traitor was in the convoy heading north. They only said that it was a supply convoy from Constellation to the Northern Territory, but they didn't say that it was the second prince's diplomat group. It looks like they did it on purpose."
"After we got off the ship, we stayed in their base. We didn't even know that Constellation had a new heir."
Thales' expression changed, and he said angrily,
"It's such a big thing, and the whole of Constellation knows about it! Don't you want to confirm it yourself? "
But Katerina did not answer. She only turned her head and no longer looked at him.
Eh?
'She seems a little … embarrassed?'
"They can't confirm it!" Serena chuckled from the side. "Katerina's forces and supporters are all in the Sacred Blood Army. She is one hundred percent the queen of the army!
"Chris has always been in charge of the Corleone Family's contact with Covendier, the spies in the Western Peninsula, and the communication channels … But when he suddenly turned against us and stood on my side …"
Under Katerina's unpleasant expression, Serena spread her hands happily.
"Katerina became blind and deaf to all news about Constellation."
Thales came to a sudden realization. "That's why you chose to come to Constellation to seek refuge."
But he suddenly thought of something and turned towards Katerina.
"Your Majesty Katerina," he used honorifics, "Zayen, I mean Duke Covendier, when did he reveal Serena's whereabouts to you?"
Katerina stared at him coldly. After a while, she still spoke, "We just arrived at the Western Peninsula a week ago and entered Eternal Star City six days ago.
"And four days ago at noon, Covendier informed us that he found the traces of the Corleone traitors." Katerina's expression was gloomy, but her lovable appearance made her look like a sulking, adorable beauty.
"Their condition was that in order to prevent the news from being leaked and thus harm Iris Flowers' reputation …
"We must kill all of Serena's companions.
From the children to the elderly, leave no one alive. "
Serena's entire body trembled. "Ah, if I knew you had such an agreement, I would not have to go through so much trouble …" But she immediately came to a realization. "But that's right. If that supreme class woman was around, I believe that you would not have been able to kill him."
Thales lowered his head and sighed.
'When did the Duke of Iris Flowers have the intention to kill?
'Even if I could sever all ties with the Corleone Family and draw a clear line with them after this, I would definitely leave some traces and cause endless trouble in the future, would I not?
'Zayen … Why did he do such an obviously unwise act?
That morning, when Zayen met me, after testing me with a few words — now that I look at it, it was to find out Serena's whereabouts — his attitude suddenly became extremely strange. 'Also, he brought …'
Thales' eyes brightened.
"It's that veteran, isn't it?" Thales raised his head and asked slowly.
Thales raised his head and asked slowly, "He was probably unknowingly planted with some sort of tracking method.
"You do not need to chase after our convoy, because Zayen knows that Genard will definitely do his best to follow behind me. You only need to chase after this veteran.
"The distance is so far, so no matter how many scouts and sentries my guards set up, they will not be able to detect your presence.
"As long as you are far away from the Central Territory, away from the suzerain's fortress that you run into every few days, and into the sparsely populated birch forest," Thales concluded with a sigh, "you will be able to make your move."
Katerina's eyes brightened.
"For a mortal, especially a mortal of your age, you are very smart and have quick reflexes."
"Right, I think so too," Serena interrupted with a smile, but she was glared at by Katerina and Thales at the same time.
"Alright, since I did not achieve my goal," Serena spread her hands in resignation, then revealed her small fangs. "I can only do it myself."
In the next moment, Serena's small hands turned into sharp red claws. She bared her fangs and pounced towards Thales at lightning speed!
Thales shuddered, but his hands were tied behind his back. He could only kick his legs with all his might and retreat on the snowy ground.
* Boom! *
The snowflakes exploded and scattered!
The ice-cold snowflakes pounced on Thales' face, stinging him so much that he closed his eyes.
Thales opened his eyes and saw Serena's small red claws a few feet in front of him.
This time, however, she was held tightly by Katerina.
"Since just now, you have been trying your best to lure me into killing him," Katerina said coldly, "Even at this stage, do you still harbor any illusions about the throne?"
Little Serena grinned. "Why, can't I?
I am the first in the line of succession. I am one rank ahead of you, who are the second! "
"Very well," Katerina raised her other hand and said coldly, "Anyway, I no longer harbor any hope of capturing you alive."
"Then I will directly change my line of succession …"
Katerina roared furiously and stabbed her sharp claws towards Serena's heart!
"Become the first!"
Rolana, who was beside Serena, only watched coldly. She did not have the slightest intention of interfering.
However, in the next moment …
Then, something happened that shocked Thales and left him dumbstruck.
The lolita-like Serena seemed to have suddenly grown up. Her body swelled and she tore off all the clothes on her body. She turned into a bewitching beauty with a voluptuous and alluring figure who was almost as tall as Katerina. Her red eyes and silver hair were incredibly alluring.
At that moment, this bewitching beauty had an enchanting smile on her face as she easily caught Katerina's pure white sharp claws!
Katerina bared her fangs and roared furiously. She instantly sent out her other sharp claw.
However, this attack of hers was also caught tightly by this bewitching beauty, as if she had predicted her position!
"Your strength is still so weak, crybaby." The bewitching beauty giggled and trembled for a moment.
Thales trembled violently!
"Ugly-faced woman!" Katerina said furiously and hatefully, "You are a natural-born impersonator!"
"You … When did you regain your abilities?!" Thales looked at the bewitching beauty with red eyes and silver hair before him and cried out involuntarily in shock.
"This is impossible! You, you only sucked my blood twice! "
"Oh, about this." Under Katerina's solemn gaze, the adult version of Serena was naked, but not at all embarrassed. Blinking her intoxicated gaze, she sent him a seductive smile. "Oh, about this."
"Your blood is more nourishing."
