Everything was in chaos. The Light Knight Regiment stationed in St. Petersburg was nominally there to cut off the war zone, but in reality, they were there to protect Moonlight City. Many people knew that Lola's power was far inferior to Nicholas'. The Light Knight Regiment's betrayal had dealt a fatal blow to Lola. Although she had noticed that Nicholas's troop movements were frequent, she had underestimated Nicholas's decisiveness. Either he didn't do anything, or he pretended to be deaf and dumb. Once he did something, he would go all out without holding anything back. This was Nicholas's style.
With the Light Knight Regiment as the vanguard, the army of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light spread out like a fan and attacked several big cities in one go. Nicholas's appetite was indeed big, but from another perspective, it could be seen that he had endured for too long and too deeply in the past.
The cities that were under attack were desperately resisting the invasion of the Kingdom of Magnificent Light because they knew that if they lost or surrendered, what awaited them would be death! In the Kingdom of Grand Light, every city that was conquered by war, Nicholas would massacre the local upper class people.
If I extended an olive branch and you rejected it, it would be too late for you to surrender when my army attacked. This was also Nicholas's style. Under normal circumstances, he would only give people one chance.
A lord could have all kinds of flaws, but they could never be powerless. Many high-level professionals or talented people were willing to rely on a powerful lord because everyone needed a guarantee in this chaotic world. However, a lord was also a human. If he gave his subordinates a sense of security, who could protect him?
Nicholas had many fierce generals under his command. The four Dragon Knight Regiment was just a friendly gesture from the Dragon Realm. He also had many other high-level professionals around him. If these people were released, they would definitely be qualified to dominate a region. However, they chose to rely on Nicholas. On one hand, it was because the forces on the continent were almost saturated. It was not easy to destroy a huge class with vested interests from scratch. On the other hand, they also needed a guarantee. Nicholas's unfathomable strength was an irresistible guiding light in this chaotic world!
This was a war that could not be learned. No one could bring out such a strong force like Nicholas. Even the Holy See paled in comparison.
Louise and Pan Wen were still on their way. They had already returned to Moonlight City, but as soon as they saw Laura, they were chased out by her. Laura told them to seek help from the Vatican. However, Nicholas's strategy was to break through the flanks and outflank the center. The allies of Bright Moon City had either died in battle or fled for their lives. The road to the Vatican had long been cut off, and in just ten days after Nicholas's attack, the situation had reached an irreversible level.
Pan Wen knew that asking the Holy See for help was just an excuse. Laura wanted her sister to leave this place. Lola's eyes lit up at first, but they soon dimmed. Send the news to the Light Knight Regiment? No one would believe her. They would only think that she was talking nonsense. Pan Wen had secretly talked to Lola. The guest from afar should have Jeddes's keepsake. Lola sighed and was not interested in it. There were rumors everywhere that she, Lola, had set up an ambush to kill Jeddes and severely injure Nicholas. After that, Nicholas saw that the situation was bad and used a Space Scroll to escape. Jeddes's corpse was left there. What kind of keepsake could not be found? At this time, the keepsake was useless!
If the guest from afar had come to Moonlight City before the war broke out, they would have met the general of the Light Knight Regiment and had a chance to solve Nicholas's plot. But now, it was too late. In the Light Knight Regiment, the voice of revenge for Jeddes had become the mainstream. The preconceived judgment was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The entire army was furious. It was impossible to even get in touch or communicate, let alone change anything.
After leaving Moonlight City, Blanche parted ways with them. Although Lola and Louise were her good friends, she was more concerned about the safety of her people.
Blanche could see how bad the current situation was. Moonlight City had collapsed, and in politics, Nicholas no longer had any opponents. Even if the Vatican had the power, they couldn't jump out and fight against Nicholas. Other than Lola, there was no one in the southwest region that was worth supporting.
When Nicholas took over the entire southwest, the Elf Village would have to move. Everything else was fine, but Nicholas could not get the Moonwell!
Along the way, Han Jin's horizons had been broadened. This was the first time he had seen a large-scale war with his own eyes. At first, he had been flying around in the sky so that he could see the whole picture of Nicholas's army. But later, he became annoyed. Nicholas's army was very well-rounded. He was often intercepted by mages and archers. Once, he was even attacked by a Demon Annihilation Crossbow. Fortunately, the army was marching and did not have a shielding array. Han Jin saw the Demon Annihilation Crossbow from afar. He was extra careful and barely avoided the arrow that was sure to hit him.
After all, the speed of using Earthmeld was not as fast as using a sword. After hiding during the day and traveling at night for three days, Han Jin finally sensed that Louise was less than ten miles away from him. The magic of Taoism was indescribable. When he came, he had planted a talisman on Yalina. Even though they were so far away, he could still sense Yalina's position. Finding Louise was a piece of cake.
Han Jin vaguely understood that the goal of this trip was probably a failure. But he had to finish what he started. After finding Louise, he would ask her clearly and then decide what to do next.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Han Jin had just jumped out of the ground when he suddenly heard faint shouts. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly leaped onto his sword and flew forward.
On a wide official road, hundreds of people were fighting together. Louise and the others were trapped in the middle. Han Jin had already seen the fighting style of the 'wild cat'. Even though she was surrounded, Louise was still as fierce as before. In this kind of chaotic battle, a dagger was a very weak weapon. But Louise could easily get close to her opponents. Every time she swung her dagger, an enemy would fall in front of her.
Beside Louise were four warriors. They were much stronger than the guards he had seen before. Moreover, they practiced four different fighting techniques. Sometimes, flames would soar into the sky, sometimes, silver snakes would surge, and sometimes, cold air would fill the air. They slaughtered their enemies as easily as crushing dry weeds.
Compared to Louise's men, the enemy's strength was nothing to write home about. Logically speaking, with Louise's fighting ability, they should have been able to break out of the encirclement easily. However, the problem lay with Panven. Han Jin's eyesight was much sharper than before. Although he was still far away, he could clearly see that there was an arrow stuck in Panven's back. Panven was staggering as he walked, and if it weren't for the two soldiers beside him supporting him, he would have already fallen down.
Outside the encirclement, a dozen or so Knights stopped on high ground. They were observing the battle inside while shouting loudly, commanding the soldiers to surround and attack. Suddenly, they saw a dazzling green light shoot down from the sky. They all turned around, their faces full of shock and uncertainty.
Louise obviously knew who had come. She became more alert and her attacks became more vicious. The Knights didn't know whether the newcomer was friend or foe. They didn't dare to attack recklessly, but they also didn't dare to come up to greet or ask for information.
However, Louise's reinforcements had arrived. The enemy had reinforcements as well. Two magicians flew over from afar. When they saw Han Jin, one immediately buffed himself with a magic barrier, while the other buffed himself with a shield of air. In the southwest region, no one knew Han Jin's background. When they saw Han Jin floating in the air with the help of a strange magic tool, they instinctively thought that Han Jin was a magician. Both the magic barrier and the shield of air were focused on magic defense.
In addition to the two magicians, another group of about a hundred Knights rushed over from afar. Han Jin glanced at the Knights, then turned his gaze to the two magicians. Louise and the others could temporarily resist the besieging of the soldiers, but if the two magicians were to join the battle, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"Sir, may I ask …" The magician on the left spoke.
"They are your enemies?" Han Jin smiled and pointed in Louise's direction.
"Yes."
"They are also my enemies." Han Jin said softly. He thought of the child again. The child had left a deep impression on him.
Although the child was a true professional, his age was limited and his strength was even more limited. There was a certain gap between him and the weaker Morrisons among his companions. Logically speaking, Morrisons should not have been able to hurt Han Jin, but the child who was not as strong as Morrisons had done it. Every time he thought of that sword, Han Jin felt a lingering fear.
Such a young child, but he was so cunning and ruthless. Knowing that Han Jin would not hurt him, he simply gave up resisting and pretended to be unconscious, seizing the opportunity to attack.
This trip was not in vain. He obtained a dragon crystal, absorbed the power contained in the blood of an adult dragon, and learned something from the child. Han Jin also learned something.
The best way to educate someone was to see a living, bloody example. If he had just suffered a loss and forgotten it in the blink of an eye, then Han Jin was really stupid.
"You are …" The Magician showed a hesitant expression.
"Can't you see where I came from?" Han Jin smiled. "Do you want to do it, or do you want to leave it to me?"
Han Jin had flown over from the south, which was the territory of Nicolas and Lola. Han Jin also regarded Louise as an enemy, so his identity was obvious. The two Magicians calmed down and looked at each other. One of them hurriedly said, "Sir, leave it to us, this …"
"This is the gift that our city lord prepared for His Majesty!" The other Magician interrupted.
"It's fine as long as they die here today." Han Jin spread his hands and made a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you, sir." The two mages laughed together. To judge a person's strength, fighting was not the only way. The other party had a magic item that they had never heard of or seen before, so he must be very strong. He should also be an important minister under Nicholas. Being polite and respectful now would be good for them in the future.
