The Black Tower in the highlands, the scholars in the wilderness, and the melodious wind songs. This was the impression the world had of Karsuk. The Black Tower Mages originated from the Silver Folk. When the first generation of Gray Robes Mages began to build the Black Tower in the north of Dardanelle, Erouine had yet to be built.
To this day, there were still the ruins of the famous Black Tower near Silver Horse City. However, the Mages had gradually moved to the north, to the Nale and Charn regions to build huge libraries and cities. The Black Tower Mages were closely related to Dai Linjie's Highland Knight, and both sides abided by an ancient treaty. The text was written in a document made of black goat skin, and it was still kept in the great library of Charn.
When Williams saw the appearance of these disruptors, his face was gloomy.
He raised his head and saw that there were several Gold-ranked gray-robed mages at the top of each of the four square towers. For the mages of these towers, the black towers that they had painstakingly built were complete magic circles. On their respective towers, their spells could be enhanced to the maximum extent. They were not inferior to Elemental Masters.
"Tower Mages, how dare you violate the Taftaka Pact!"
However, the Gray Wizard did not care about him at all. The moment the black tower appeared, the sound of magic chanting could be heard in the heavy rain. "Lord of Calamity of the Azure, please grant me the authority of the elements, Deep Ice Spear —"
A slanted white light circle appeared on top of each of the four towers. The runes and spells on it rotated and converged at one point, then shot out a blue translucent light belt towards the Holy Cathedral of Fire's fleet. The three Floating Battleships of the Holy Cathedral of Fire immediately sounded like a shrill alarm, and the commanders screamed. The Perrin and Taylor immediately began to maneuver and evade against common sense. The magic core of the Floating Magic Ship let out a sizzling sound, and the outer shell burst out with blue electric arcs one after another.
Williams clenched his teeth and swung his sword in that direction. The golden-red sword light was like a flaming whip in the night sky, lashing out at least a thousand feet away.
But it was actually an irregular derivative line of the law. The hot golden line that was moving forward in a zigzag line instantly cut off three of the blue light ribbons, and the remaining one still brushed past the bottom keel of the Taylor frigate. With a crisp crash, the mithril frigate was immediately covered in a layer of solid ice that was as thick as an arm. Rainwater flowed down the solid ice and instantly froze into long icicles.
The huge weight caused the USS Taylor to sink slightly.
Williams disappeared from the sky and appeared in front of the four square towers in the next instant. This was not teleportation. Instead, his movements were too fast for the naked eye to catch.
"Wizards of the tower, you better give me an explanation."
"Haha, the Cruz people are really arrogant. We have long since severed all ties with the Silver Alliance, so please call us Adepts of the Black Tower, Sir Williams. "
Williams looked coldly at the wizards on the tower.
"As for why we are here, this is Erouine's civil war. We chose to support the Corvado Royal Family. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you Cruz people."
Princess Gryphine could not help but gently press her chest when she heard this from the forest below. Her slender fingers clenched into a fist. But of course, she knew that these wizards who stood aloof from worldly affairs would not support her for no reason. The only one who was related to them was the former genius of the Peloche Family, The Shire. And the descendants of the Earth Sword Saint, Darius, who were related to him.
She looked at Brando.
"The Corvado Royal Family is involved with the pagans. In the eyes of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, they are not qualified to inherit the throne. Wizards of the tower, the Holy War is imminent. I advise you not to get involved in this dispute. "
Williams raised his hand, and the entire battlefield suddenly stopped. The soldiers of the Holy Cathedral of Fire and the two hundred Pegasus Knights suddenly stood still in mid-air. The Northern Allied Army also retreated like the tide, distancing themselves from the Knights of Anthony.
The wizards of the tower were a huge problem. He really did not want to involve them in this whirlpool that was getting bigger and bigger.
"What a joke!" An angry rebuke.
Brendel's hand was still holding onto the golden card, but he suddenly stopped. He looked up and coldly interrupted Williams, "The Corvado Royal Family is involved with the pagans. Just based on your words alone?"
Williams was interrupted by Brando. His face turned green, and he replied coldly, "Naturally, I can represent the Holy Cathedral here. I don't care to explain to a sinner like you. You just need to know that the Holy Cathedral will never make mistakes."
Brando smiled contemptuously. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the Holy Cathedral's words had too much power and he wanted to clear the princess' name, he wouldn't even bother to look at the other party's face. In his opinion, the historical Williams was a complete brainless child. "It's up to you to decide whether it's right or wrong. Naturally, there will never be a mistake. Unfortunately, Saint-ausol, Fanzin, and even Eleranta won't agree with your bullshit. The Holy Cathedral will never make a mistake? Is the history of the Bishop of Rus's region bribing All For One during the year of separation a myth? "
"What Bishop of Rus's region?" Williams' expression changed slightly, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of his sword.
"The Bishop of Rus's region, Hanfuk, was close to the people and was once a strong candidate for the central priest. Later, he disappeared inexplicably. The Holy Cathedral announced that he died of illness. It's ridiculous that a priest can die of illness. Could it be that Dispelling Illness is a divine spell that you worked hard to develop after the year of separation? Why do I remember that it was a spell that existed as early as the Year of the Saints? "
Williams' face showed signs of turning from green to black, but Brando did not intend to let him go. To be honest, the Holy Cathedral of Fire was a huge organization, and there were countless regional Archbishops. Border areas like Erouine had long been infiltrated like a sieve. Amman, whom he met in the Loop of Trade Winds, was not the first All For One spy, and would not be the last.
"The funny thing is that the dignified Holy Cathedral of Fire is so stifled even when it comes to finding an excuse. Perhaps the organization is too rigid and bureaucratic, but fortunately, your authority is indeed deeply rooted in the people's hearts, and no one will pursue such a bizarre reason. But you don't really think that all the countries on the continent except for Cruz are fools, do you? "
Brando's words seemed to have frozen the battlefield. His words were definitely treacherous in the past, and for thousands of years, the civilians under the rule of the Four Holy Cathedrals had never thought of questioning the authority of the Supreme. But this was like a piece of window paper, as long as it was poked through, it was enough to raise doubts in the hearts of most people.
Besides, it was not that the nobles did not suspect that there was something fishy behind this, but they were well aware of it.
Brando continued, "Besides, do you really think that no one knows all the secrets here? Don't forget that there are too many pairs of eyes in this world. Wizards record history, astrologers predict the future, and only you think that you can hide from the world. Although the religious events in the Rus area have been dusty for nearly three centuries, there are many documents in Buga and White City. Even under the rule of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, there are still many descendants of those who know about it in Jaca and Aradeb. "
"You think I'm lying? Then let me tell you, the First Era, 101, in West Chifran — "
"Enough!" Williams looked at Brando as if he had seen a ghost. What Brando said was the most strictly guarded secret of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. In fact, the upper echelons of the Holy Cathedral of Fire were aware of the infiltration from below, but it could not be helped. They could not make everything public because authority was everything to the Holy Cathedral. But the question was, how did he know?
When Brando said the First Era, 101, Williams felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest by a sword, which happened to be the most critical point of the religious case. He did not know how Brando knew these details, but he was sure that if this was a nightmare, then Brando must be the biggest nightmare in front of him right now.
With such a serious leak, even if he was implicated, he would end up in big trouble in the end. Although he was the deputy commander of the Holy Cathedral of Knights, do not forget that although the Holy Cathedral of Knights only had one commander, there were seven deputy commanders.
"This is the difference between a sage and a mortal. The people's hearts are in turmoil, and being bought by the cultists can only mean that he has fallen into depravity. What does it have to do with the Holy Cathedral? The fact that the Holy Cathedral is dealing with such scum shows that the inside is still pure. "Williams suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and answered seriously.
"You have a glib tongue, Sir Williams. If this is an individual case, then it is true. But as far as I know, the Holy Cathedral's performance in the periphery is not as good as you say. For example — "Brando replied aggressively.
"Cut the crap!" Williams did not dare to let him speak again. If he continued, he, as the deputy commander, would really be taken to court. "It's the same for you, descendant of the Cadiloso family. Sixty years ago, the Holy Cathedral made a huge mistake. But they will not repeat the same mistake. "He turned his head and looked coldly at the Black Tower wizards in the sky," You should all remember what happened in the Valley of Fephopi. If you do not want to be involved in this huge trouble, immediately turn around and leave. I can pretend that you were never here today. "
Valley of Fephopi? Brando was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard of this name before. He immediately memorized the name in his heart and prepared to look it up in Charn's library when he had time. Or it would be best to go to Buga's' Silver Wall 'to look up the history on the wall.
However, it seemed that the Holy Cathedral of Fire was indeed very afraid of the Black Tower wizards. It was a pity that the Royal Family of Covardo did not catch them back then. Now it seemed that the Highland wizards did not have any ill feelings towards Princess Gryphine. Why did they later become so disloyal?
Williams thought that he could scare off these troublemakers who suddenly appeared, but he did not expect a group of people to walk out from behind the gray-robed wizard. When he saw these Knights in sky-blue armor, he knew that things were not good. He saw that the leader of the knights was Bunide, the commander of the Highland Knights.
This handsome middle-aged man smiled and replied, "Williams, it seems that your memory is deteriorating very quickly. There are signs of prematurely aging. How did I answer you last time? The decision of the Highland Knights half a century ago is our decision now. When have the Highland Knights ever broken their oath? "
"If you want to fight, I will accompany you. The Holy Cathedral of Fire is powerful, but the blood of the Daniles has not run dry. " Bunide pulled out his long sword and winked at Brando who was in the forest below, "Descendant of Darius, I heard that you are resourceful. I believe that you will not fight a decisive battle with these northern barbarians here if you do not have full confidence. So, I will help you block these broken ships of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. I hope you can teach these arrogant Cruz people a lesson."
Brando raised his head and smiled in his heart. The sudden appearance of Eco and the Highland Knight warmed his heart. The Erouine people were not completely dead, at least some of them still had the blood of ancient pride flowing in their bodies.
"Of course."
"But these are probably the vanguard fleet of the Cruz people. Uncle, you have to be careful." He replied.
"Uncle?" Bunide laughed out loud, "Thank you for your concern."
These two people acted as if there was no one else around. The anger in Williams' heart could simply destroy the Erouine people. "Since you don't appreciate my good intentions and are determined to walk this path to the end, then there is no need for us to talk anymore." He knew that if he did not kill Brando today based on his previous words, he would probably be sent to the Inquisition tomorrow. He took one last look at the Danile Highland Knight and did not say another word.
The negotiations broke down and the attack continued.
The Northern Coalition Army was regrouping. In fact, Anthony's army also needed time to adjust. But the battle was about to break out. Brando lowered his head and shouted to Eco who was not far away, "Eco, can you stop the northern barbarians?"
"It's a little troublesome." Eco waved his sword, "I didn't expect there to be so many of them."
Brando almost fainted. You didn't expect so many enemies and you still came. What kind of commander is this? He suddenly saw Makarov not far away whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He suddenly understood how he felt.
But Eco just smiled faintly and said, "But it doesn't matter. The Knight is only seeking death for the sake of his ideals!"
Brando shook his head. This guy is really crazy. But he did not want to die here with this dumb Knight. The situation below had to be stabilized first before he had time to deal with the Sanctum Knight above. He finally threw the card forward and said, "It doesn't matter. In that case, let me help you."
"Ah, how do you help?"
Brando did not need to answer.
Because the Grimoire of Life was entering the field.
A ball of pure white light was rising from the Anker Mountains. It was like the "first light in the darkness, giving life and spirit" described in the epic of the Cruz creation.
Suddenly, a huge book emitting the purest power of life appeared in front of Brando. At that moment, he abandoned the Sea Wave Gem and used the Sea Wave Gem's feature of "sacrificing this card, choose any card in your hand, and make it enter the field for free" to put in the 25-cost Grimoire of Life without any cost.
Life, Martha's domain.
The majestic power swept through the entire battlefield in an instant. Everyone subconsciously turned to look at the direction of the white light, their hearts throbbing. Another Divine Artifact. Williams felt the Flaming Blade Shards on his body vibrating slightly. This was the resonance between the Divine Artifacts. But the power of the Divine Artifact was far greater than that of Flaming Blade Oderfeiss, because he could deeply feel the reverence of the Flaming Blade Shards.
He raised his head just in time to see Brando's second spell. A white halo spread out from the young man's hand. Isn't this guy a Swordsman? Williams thought. In fact, Brando was showing the mana cost of the Eternal Orb. The ability of the Eternal Orb was to tap and pay 5 mana to choose the next card to enter the field and provide a perfect copy.
Brando paid 5 mana and copied the Grimoire of Life.
When the two Grimoires of Life appeared in the sky above the battlefield, everyone's mind went blank. The Twin Holy Artifacts!
Williams immediately had a bad feeling, although Brando hadn't launched an attack yet. But he also roughly guessed the other's profession. He clearly noticed that the two Books of Divine Artifacts were summoned into the battlefield by Brando. Although he didn't know what Brando wanted to do, even the prerequisite summon was a Divine Artifact. How bad could the follow-up be?
For the first time, the deputy leader of the Knights Templar felt that the battlefield was out of his expectations. He never dreamed that a young man who was just Elemental Awakening would have such a backup plan.
A young Sword Saint who was less than 20 years old and had Elemental Awakening, his real profession was actually a Summoner?
Was there any justice in this? Who would believe him if he said that?
At that moment, Brando just happened to look up.
At that moment, he was looking at Williams as a Planeswalker, and for the first time, the vice-captain of the Knights Templar felt a deep sense of fear. He saw in that pair of young eyes the aura of a sovereign looking down on everything.
It seemed to be saying –
Are you ready?
"Stop him!" The fear in Williams' heart rose. He raised his long sword high and slashed down with the strongest strength in his life.
That sword was like a ray of light in the sky. A golden-red line, parting the curtain of rain. The lines of the law surrounded the blade, like the hand of God smoothing out the darkness. With one slash, almost half of the sky was shining with the power of the law.
At that moment, Williams' heart seemed to touch the boundary between life and death. A spiral peak suddenly appeared above his head, and the law spread out in all directions like a line.
Then.
He saw the Extreme Plains.
It was pure white.
The Black Tower Wizards immediately noticed the abnormality of this sword. Bunide was the same. Although they couldn't understand the understanding of the ultimate power after igniting the fire seed of the blossom element. However, Bunide felt a deep shudder in the air. Williams had actually advanced at this juncture?
Was this scientific?
"Master Ashwood! Teleport over there! He wants to kill Brando! "He suddenly grabbed the tower of the black tower and shouted to the tower on the left.
The Gray Robe Wizard only hesitated for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands. The black tower suddenly disappeared, and then in the next moment, it appeared in the path of Williams' golden sword.
With a sizzling sound, like a hot knife cutting into butter, a golden flame slashed across the center of the giant tower. In an instant, the supposedly indestructible black tower collapsed. The Gray Robe Wizards on top of it immediately scattered and flew to the other giant towers.
And Williams' golden sword flame was still moving forward, and it was not even blocked at all.
"Ah, the Extreme Realm!" Bunide finally realized what happened, and the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
Williams suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were calm, and he gently exhaled. Unfortunately, it was still a little short. But this attack was indeed at the level of the Extreme Realm. He quietly looked at the line of golden law in the curtain of rain that was sweeping across half of the sky, approaching the treetop, and was about to hit Brando directly.
This was the power of the Extreme Realm.
But it was at this moment.
Countless pure white light shields suddenly appeared in front of Brando, and each shield blocked in front of Williams' golden law. Each shield deflected the most powerful attack of the Vice Commander of the Holy Cathedral Knight's Order, as if a gentle hand was smoothing these hot golden lines one by one.
In an instant, the golden flame that covered half of the sky was swallowed by darkness.
It did not even hurt Brando at all.
Brando still looked up at Williams, and used his mouth to answer the endless questions in the eyes of the Holy Cathedral's high-ranking member, "Anroldo's Holy Ring, 10 points."
Anroldo's Holy Ring (Paradise of Adversity X), 10 points, [Spell – Instant], effect: the next attack will be ineffective. '— — Sanctuary — —'
Williams' hand was completely frozen in the air.
Almost everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
