The Ronitte Kingdom was a place where commerce prevailed. Among the merchants that roamed the continent, at least 60% were from the Ronitte Kingdom.
Victor's wife, Aurelia's mother, Queen Olina, was from the Ronitte Kingdom's royal family. She was the sister of the current king of the Ronitte Kingdom, Oscar Ronitte.
This king, who was famous for his movie awards, was also a strange person. When various countries were thinking of ways to strengthen their military and political power, he clearly saw the Ronitte Kingdom's shortcomings and strengths.
Therefore, he simply gave up on developing military power and only kept the basic military establishment. Then …
He began to vigorously support the development of domestic commerce.
In the human countries where the feudal aristocratic system prevailed, Oscar's actions were undoubtedly non-mainstream.
However, it had to be said that with his strong support, the merchants of the Ronitte Kingdom relied on a large number of low-end warhorses to start their business. In an extremely short period of time, they had completely grown and become a very prosperous commercial country.
If there was a country in Prandal that would naturally evolve from a feudal society to a capitalist society, it would definitely be the Ronitte Kingdom.
In this country where commerce prevailed, the number of believers of the Radiant Church was extremely small. Almost 99% of the people chose to believe in the God of Wind, Ikardis.
Here, Ikardis was also known as the God of Commerce.
The Holy Cathedral of Wind was the sacred ground of the Church of Wind. It was also a forbidden area that forbade everyone from approaching. Even the internal members of the Holy See were not allowed to enter the Holy Cathedral of Wind, let alone the people of the Radiant Church, who were competitors.
One could imagine how difficult it would be for the people of the Radiant Church to enter the Holy Cathedral of Wind under such circumstances.
After a brief understanding of the situation in the Ronitte Kingdom, Tang En seemed to be deep in thought. He waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. From now on, you can focus on clearing out the remnants of the Dark Serpent in the country. Leave Jassas and the remaining three Venerables to me. It just so happens that one of them came to my house to seek death. I'll go back and kill him later."
Leon smiled bitterly. "I feel that with you around, we've all become trash. We're completely useless."
"With different powers comes different responsibilities. Your mission is to protect the people and get rid of those rascals."
Tang En smiled and said, "You guys retreat first. I'll take a look at Girard's situation. I hope he can regain his senses after Marcus's death."
"I hope so."
Leon nodded. "I wish you all the best."
Tang En waved at them and smiled at Eluri. Then, he rushed into the sky and chased after the army in the north.
Leon couldn't help but sigh as he watched Tang En leave. He said, "It's really a blessing to be able to become comrade-in-arms with Lord Tang En. If it wasn't for him, I would have died twice already. This time, he even used an Angel's Feather. How am I supposed to repay him … "
Eluri pursed her lips and smiled. "Perhaps, he doesn't care about your repayment?"
After thinking for a moment, Leon also smiled. "That's true. I don't have anything that he likes."
Looking at the messy battlefield, Leon sighed. "I used to think that he was a gentle person who wouldn't get angry. Now it seems that even a good person can get angry."
"That's right. The better he is, the scarier he is when he gets angry."
A Paladin next to him deeply agreed. "Especially when he has such great power … I can't even figure out whether he's a warrior or a mage."
"For a legendary master, does it make a difference whether he's a warrior or a mage?"
Leon smiled. "Once he breaks through to the supreme level, the boundary between a warrior and a mage has disappeared. A legendary master doesn't care about the way he fights … I don't know if I'll be able to touch that level one day."
After sighing, Leon's spirit was lifted. He gave an order. "Clean up the battlefield and purify this area. We're retreating!"
… …
In the north, in the center of the army, the atmosphere in Girard's carriage was unusually cold.
"It seems that you still haven't regained your senses."
Girard's limbs were fixed by unbreakable ice. The whole carriage was sealed by Tang En, and no sound could be transmitted out.
"Tang … en!"
The furious Girard struggled with all his might, but his near-legendary strength couldn't break free from the seemingly ordinary ice. This made him even more irritable.
"Sure enough, it's not that ideal."
Tang En furrowed his brows slightly. Rather than saying that Marcus' power was to control one's mind, it was better to say that it was to bewitch one's mind. Even the kindest person had a dark side in their heart, and Marcus' power was to magnify the dark side of a person's heart countless times over. The actions of the Nazis had little to do with Marcus, but the people chosen by Marcus would act in accordance with his goals.
"Just tell me what to do."
Tang En released Victor. After seeing Victor's soul, Girard revealed a sinister smile. "Old thing, your soul is still here!"
"Girard … sigh."
Victor sighed.
Tang En stroked his chin, his eyes cold. "How about I kill him now? After purifying his soul, he can go in and accompany you. "
Victor could see that Tang En was not joking. Now that the nest of the Dark Serpent had been dug out, there was no need to continue to let Girard fool around.
Victor looked at Girard, shook his head, and said, "It's better to keep him alive than to kill him now. The assassination of the new king will only increase the panic of the people who don't know the truth. You might as well stop the whole army from advancing. After dealing with the Dark Serpent, you can take Jassas's body and tell the world with him, the Pope, and the Holy Virgin in Alinx. Let everyone see his current situation. This can reduce a lot of resistance and shut a lot of people's mouths."
Stopping an army of tens of thousands of people by himself? If this was on Earth, this would be a joke that was not funny at all.
But this was Prandal.
Sitting here was Tang En, who was clinging to God's thigh.
"Stop the whole army?"
Tang En stroked his chin.
Victor asked, "Can you do it?"
"Are you kidding?"
Tang En glanced sideways at Victor. "I'm the second generation of an omnipotent God."
After that, Tang En got up and patted Girard's face. "I'll let you be king for a few more days. Take care of yourself."
As his voice fell, Tang En disappeared from the carriage.
"Tang! En! I'm going to kill you!!! "
The angry Girard broke through the roof of the carriage and flew into the sky, but Tang En had completely disappeared at this moment.
In the north, 30 kilometers in front of the army, Tang En sat on a stone and played with the Soul Diamond. Victor stood next to him with a conflicted expression, afraid that Tang En would accidentally break it.
Tang En had been thinking about how to use the Soul Diamond he got from Xiaoxiao.
The power of the Soul Diamond was undoubtedly very strong. If it was only used as a container for souls, it would undoubtedly be a serious waste of resources.
Tang En originally wanted to use alchemy to collect the souls of some powerful magical beasts and then modify them to use the Soul Diamond as an artificial intelligence. When the time came, he could use the Soul Diamond as the core to develop a series of modified technologies corresponding to artificial intelligence.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Victor's death and the collective corruption of the Third Army changed everything. He had to change his original plan and use the Soul Diamond to collect the souls of those who died in battle and purify them.
Victor was a good man and a good king. It was a pity that he died like this. So on the day of the incident, he and Olga rushed to the palace. When they arrived, he quietly asked Nola to take the Soul Diamond to collect Victor's soul.
The soldiers in the Soul Diamond were all rebellious. They belonged to the Third Army. Even if they died, they were still soldiers of the Third Army. So they did not listen to Tang En's orders. The soul of General Marshall Lawson was the same. His brain was harder than stone and did not listen to any explanation. Without the approval of the royal family, they would not accept anyone's rule.
Fortunately, Victor was also there. Although he was a soul, he was still the king of the Irus Empire. Without a doubt, he was put to the greatest use at this time — persuading him to accept Tang En's orders.
After that, everything went smoothly. After appeasing the souls of the Third Army and the soldiers who attacked Ellington, the souls in the Soul Diamond were united. They were just waiting for Tang En to put them to use.
Tang En actually had a headache about how to use the soul soldiers. But in the end, he found a solution from his experience on Earth.
Valhalla, Valhalla.
In the paradise of Norse mythology, any warrior who died on the battlefield would become a guest of honor in the palace. The Valhalla warriors who were brought to Valhalla by the Valhalla would first be welcomed by Odin's two sons in the palace. Then, they would be brought to Odin's throne to be rewarded. If it was a warrior favored by the Gods, Odin would also stand up to welcome them as a sign of special treatment.
When the warriors had eaten and drunk enough, they would stand up and fight with each other. They would continue to practice their fighting skills in preparation for the final battle in the Twilight of the Gods.
The unrelenting fighting spirit, as well as the heroic image of drinking and eating meat, was the ideal way of life for the Norse people who regarded courage as the supreme virtue and death in battle as the supreme glory.
This undoubtedly gave Tang En an idea. If he built a Valhalla in Prandal, would he be able to use the power of these soul soldiers to increase his fighting strength?
Unlike the myths and legends on Earth, there were true gods and souls in Prandal, so a Valhalla was feasible.
A Valhalla army that did not sleep, rest, fatigue, or fear death was much more powerful than the skeleton army of the Necromancers. If he developed some powerful equipment specifically for them, they would become an amazing army against the Chaos.
Tang En did not have the power to reconstruct their bodies and revive them, but he could let their souls continue to be active in this world in another form and fight to protect this world.
He could use the Soul Diamond to collect the souls of the corrupted warriors, purify them, build a Valhalla, accept them, and train them.
This was the most perfect solution he could think of in this terrible situation.
After estimating the time, Tang En stood up. "It's about time."
Victor asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Tang En moved his wrist. "I heard that there's a pass in the northwest of the Empire called the Scar of the Sacred Sword. It's known as a dangerous pass, and one man can hold back ten thousand men."
