A streak of lightning flashed across the dark purple sky, and the clouds were boiling like porridge. Suddenly, a red dot appeared in the middle of the sky. Like a falling stone hitting water, a red circle appeared in the sky and spread out for half a mile.
There was a soft buzzing sound.
"Brando, this is …" Orthlyss's voice was a little cautious.
"I know." Brendel's face was expressionless as he watched the scene unfold.
The soldiers on the princess' side in the forest finally noticed the change above their heads. They looked up stiffly and saw a huge shadow gradually appearing under the red circle.
It was a battleship.
The four decks of cannons and the towering stern of the battleship gradually turned from a shadow to reality. Beside it, three smaller red circles spread out one by one, and then three small frigates appeared one by one in the storm.
Then, twelve red dots flashed in the sky. Knight in golden red robes holding flame-shaped swords formed a circle around the fleet.
"It's the Holy Cathedral of Fire!"
"The fleet of the Holy Cathedral of Fire!"
The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar army finally affected the entire battlefield. Even Adega could not help but raise his huge head to look at the uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, the soldiers of the Northern Coalition Army also put down their weapons and looked up.
More red dots flashed in the storm, like red butterflies dancing. Every time the red light flashed, a fully-armored Knight riding on a silver pegasus was left behind.
After that, an even wider red dot spread across several miles of the sky. After the red light, a vast number of soldier monks appeared in the sky. Each soldier monk had a pair of flaming wings on their back, as if they were golden angels.
The battlefield was silent for a moment.
"The Goddess of Golden Flame at the bow of the ship, thirteen sails, four decks, 110 cannons." Brando looked at the scene in front of him and could not help but shake his head gently.
The Ash-class Battleship, the Perrin.
The Knights of the Holy Cathedral.
The Holy Cathedral of Fire's armed forces, the 'Scepter of Fire'.
… …
The thirteen green sails spread out into a pile of green clouds in the storm. The giant ship in the sky was slowly turning, and the goddess at the bow of the ship was shining in the storm. It was the Goddess of Golden Flame at the bow of the ship.
The four battleships turned one by one and aimed at the storm elemental Adega with one side of the ship.
Adega had been sleeping for nearly a thousand years, and it had never seen such a thing before. But it was at this moment that it keenly felt a great danger looming over it.
Cruz's orders came in the wind.
"Wizards in position!"
"Open the cannons!"
The next moment, the four warships shook violently, and one side of their hull suddenly shot out a fierce flame. "Ahhhh!" Before anyone could react, Adega the Rager let out a blood-curdling scream that shook the heavens and earth.
A bright explosion of fireworks suddenly in the night sky.
Cruz's people poured all their firepower on the huge monster. Although the more advanced magic power and disintegration crystals of this era had not yet been developed, and the power of the old-fashioned magic cannons designed by the Hazel people was far from enough to pose a real threat to the storm elemental, the severe pain still made Adega of the Rager subconsciously raise its head.
It was at that moment.
Eleven Knight of the Holy Cathedral raised their swords at the same time and stabbed at Adega's throat. Eleven golden rays of light extended from the flame-shaped longswords in their hands, completely penetrating Adega in an instant and locking the monster to the ground like eleven golden threads.
Compared to the overwhelming firepower of the four battleships before, this was a fatal blow to Adega. Eleven masters with Elemental Activation. Even under normal circumstances, it would not dare to take the attack head-on, let alone hit its vitals.
Adega suddenly let out a mournful howl. Lightning flashed in his body and he became shockingly bright, as if he was going to collapse at any time. However, this monster was indeed one of the top Bosses in the early versions of The Amber Sword. Even though he was severely injured, he didn't die immediately. Instead, his ferocious nature was aroused. He struck back, waving his huge palm in the air.
The storm elemental was huge, and this palm almost covered half of the battlefield. The eleven Knight of the Holy Cathedral did not dare to take it head-on and hurriedly scattered. The three frigates behind them were in trouble.
One of the ships was directly hit by Adega. Just as the cyan protective shield lit up, it instantly emitted a blazing white light. Then, with a loud bang, it was smashed into pieces by Adega's slap. It was swept into the distant hills from mid-air.
About a few seconds later, a bright fireball rose in that direction.
But it was at this time.
The thick clouds in the sky suddenly moved slightly. The clouds seemed to gather in a vortex in one direction, and in the center of the vortex, a golden-red light flashed. "Boom!" A fiery red beam of light fell from the sky with a loud bang. Like a red sword, it pierced through the head of Adega the Rager in a flash and nailed it to the ground.
The storm in the center of the battlefield suddenly stopped.
There seemed to be a faint sigh in the wind and rain. Then, in the blink of an eye, countless lightning spread out from Adega's body and tore its body into pieces. It turned into clouds and dissipated in the storm.
Then everyone on the battlefield saw a tall Knight in a long cloak in the clouds pulling out his long sword from the lightning.
It was the deputy commander of the Holy Cathedral Knight Regiment, the Golden Flame Sword Williams.
The Northern Coalition Army suddenly let out a cheer.
It was shocking.
…
Williams, the deputy commander of the Holy Cathedral Knight Regiment, calmly looked at the ants on the ground. There was not a trace of superfluous expression on his face, but golden Lines of Law surrounded his long cloak. His eyes also turned golden.
He held the long sword in his hand and looked down. The rain in the sky turned into white smoke before it could get close to his body, and then merged into the surrounding rain.
He did not speak.
The ground quickly quieted down. After Adega the Storm Elemental dissipated, there was only a piece of embers left after the explosion. Those small Wind Elementals also scattered and fled. No one would think of holding them back.
Williams soon saw the little girl in silver in the forest.
At that moment, Princess Gryphine also saw him. The young girl stood in the rain with her head held high. Her face was pale and her silver eyes reflected a trace of rain. However, there was a light that was even brighter than before, as if there was a ball of raging flames burning within.
At that moment, Williams had an illusion, as if he saw the pair of incomparably bright eyes. But he shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Little Princess, I'll give you a chance. If you bring your men out and surrender, I can spare your lives." Williams said softly, but his voice seemed to spread throughout the battlefield so that every soldier present could hear it clearly.
"How can you do this?!" Princess Gryphine clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, "You made an oath before the sacred covenant, what did that oath say? You said that you would treat every country under the Holy Cathedral fairly, but today, I only see the Holy Cathedral of Fire belonging to Cruz … "
"If one day the Holy Cathedral of Fire betrays everyone, aren't you afraid of being betrayed by everyone?"
Brando saw that her hands were trembling slightly.
Williams did not speak, and did not even bother to find an excuse. He replied faintly, "Is this your answer, Princess Gryphine? Unfortunately, no matter what you say, you can't change the fact that you must belong to the losing side today. "
"Because this is the will of the Holy Cathedral."
Princess Gryphine suddenly froze as if struck by lightning, her silver eyes full of grief and indignation.
Williams glanced at her and shook his head disdainfully, "Princess Gryphine, either surrender. Otherwise, I'll let them die with you. "
"You only have half a minute to think about it."
Her voice shook the mountains and fields.
…
Greysword Saint-mephistopheles carried his long sword and suddenly stopped. He looked up and saw a golden-red door suddenly open not far in front of him. An old man in a bishop's robe stepped out of it.
Then nine more light doors opened beside him, and nine Knights of the Holy Cathedral came out of them one by one.
A circle of people surrounded him directly.
Mephistopheles was a little amused, "I just killed a bishop, and here comes another one. The high-ranking priests of the Holy Cathedral of Fire are more numerous than dogs."
This obvious sarcasm did not annoy Wood. Instead, the old man smiled slightly, "You don't have to show off your glorious deeds of killing Moros to me. But you are hurrying so slowly. Aren't you afraid that the little guy will be killed by Williams?"
Mephistopheles glanced at him angrily, "If I say that I am worried, will you make way?"
"Sorry, that won't happen."
"Then that's it."
The two suddenly stopped, looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time.
"When we were in Cruz, thank you for letting me live, but I am not what I used to be. It is not impossible to kill you, Wood," the Ash Sword Saint suddenly said.
"So, you are really going to do it?" Wood asked.
"Not to that extent. You have your dreams to realize, and I have my homeland to recover. As long as you don't stand in front of me, I won't do anything to you. What's more, you know this. Otherwise, why would you bring so many people to kill me? "
Mephistopheles glanced at the Knight of the Holy Cathedral and said as if he did not care, "Besides, it is a bit difficult to deal with you alone. It will be a bit troublesome if there are so many dogs."
The Knight of the Holy Cathedral heard this and glared at him, but no one dared to do anything. It was not known whether it was because of the order or because they were afraid of his strength.
"So, it is better to stop and look at the scenery. Then you go your way, and I go mine. It is not a day or two that you can't catch me. I don't think the Holy Cathedral will bother you because of this. " Mephistopheles sneered, "They have already lost one bishop, and they don't want to lose a second one."
Wood shook his head and looked in the direction of the sea cliff. In the distance, the sea was surging with dark clouds. In the storm, the waves formed a white line and smashed into countless waves on the reef.
"Although I don't know what your relationship with him is, it seems that you are really not worried about that little guy."
"No, I didn't believe it at first, but now that you are here, I believe it." Mephistopheles shook his head and replied with a smile, "I am here, and his purpose has been achieved. Do you understand?"
"Oh?" Wood was slightly startled, "He already knew that I was behind this? Could it be that Tuman is also in Ampere Seale, and he told him? "
"No, no," the Ash Sword Saint laughed happily, "He just guessed from the beginning that the Holy Cathedral of Fire was involved in this. It was not because of you, but because of Moros."
Wood frowned and looked at this guy suspiciously. Due to some special reasons, he had once let the other party off in Kirrlutz, but he also understood that the other party would never appreciate it. The other party was smiling so happily, it must be because the Holy Cathedral of Fire had suffered a loss somewhere.
"Moros killed Princess Magadal. He thought that he could hide it from everyone, but there is always a mistake. He must have never dreamed that his identity would be guessed. "Mephistopheles smiled and said word by word.
"That young man is really sharp."
Wood's eyebrows raised, and his face suddenly changed.
… …
"Time's up, Your Highness, what is your answer?"
There was silence on the battlefield, as if after the sound of fighting had receded, only the sound of the rain was left. But after a moment, Williams' voice sounded again.
Arrogant and contemptuous.
Brando saw Princess Gryphine standing in the rain in a daze. He was about to walk over, but he did not expect the princess to turn around first.
In the pouring rain, the half-elf girl's silver eyes were filled with determination, "Mr. Brando, I have decided to surrender to the nobles of the North."
Brendel could not believe his ears. He stared at the princess with his mouth agape. But Princess Gryphine said softly, "After I die, there is still one person in Erouine who can pick up this dream. I believe that person, I believe that he did not lie to me —"
She raised her head and looked at everyone in the forest, "If these people survive today, one day, they will be the seeds of Erouine's future."
"Your Highness."
"Mr. Brando, I only have one request."
She looked at Brando, and her eyes were amazingly bright, "Please save my brother, because even if he can't be king one day, I at least hope that he can live well. This is my only wish, Mr. Brando. "
She took out a crystal and put it in Brando's hand, "This is the anchor key. Only it can provide an anchor point for the Royal Fleet. Father built this fleet with his own hands, and he gave it to me personally. Now I entrust it to you. "
Princess Gryphine suddenly smiled, and tears slid down her cheeks, "Mr. Brando, I hope you remember that there was once a princess of Erouine who fought side by side with you … I hope the kingdom will last forever … I hope that one day our dream can really be realized —"
I really hope that your sword will always shine, Erouine.
Brando stared blankly at the princess who was crying in front of him. This was the second time he had seen her cry. She was no longer the strong image in history, but she was the real princess of Erouine.
He covered her mouth with his hand.
There was no need to say anything.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Brando pulled out his sword and stepped past the stunned princess. He had already raised his head and replied softly, "There is no need to say anything, Your Highness."
"Please have hope."
"Don't give up your dream."
"Because today, history will not repeat itself."
"The future of this kingdom, I will personally change it for you to see."
"And from this moment on, everything in the past has already disappeared. There will no longer be the crying of Bucce, and no more crimson sorrow. Here, the kingdom has not deviated from the path of glory, and everything can still be salvaged. "
Not far from him, the female Knight Maynild who heard his words raised her head as if she had been electrocuted. But Brando had already raised the Halran Gaia in his hand and pointed at the person in the air —
"Williams," Brendel yelled, "Forty years later, the accounts!" Today, I represent those people from that day, to ask you to pay it back — — Are you ready? "
The forest was silent, and the entire battlefield seemed to be left with only the silhouette of a single person.
And in front of him, was the huge fleet of Cruz.
