It was like the bell of death. When it rang, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked to the west.
A black knight led an army of unknown origin and appeared in the west. No one had seen their flag before. It looked like wings with a circle in the middle.
They were the nightmare of the Eagle Regiment and the army of the Liska Empire. The black knight led the army in a charge. Flames emerged from his body and spread to both sides. They turned into a sharp arrow and effortlessly killed all those who stood in their way. They did not even slow down at all.
Boom!!!
A huge sound was heard. The city gate that the eagle regiment couldn't break down for a long time was actually smashed by the sword thrown by the black knight.
George watched all this quietly from afar. His team didn't move at all. It was his subordinates who were attacking.
"Let's go."
He suddenly said these two words. The young man beside him had a doubtful expression.
"Aren't we going to help? They have fewer people than us. "
George had already turned around. He turned back and glanced at the young man.
"Even if we have ten times more people, we can't do anything. None of us here can deal with that black guy."
With that, he rode his horse and left.
When the other Eagle regiments saw this, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and began to flee. The situation was very strange. A new faction had intervened, and the Eagle regiments were instantly routed. They were fleeing in panic. They were clearly about to defeat the Empire.
On the other hand, the empire suffered heavy losses. Less than 30,000 of the 90,000 elite soldiers were left.
After stepping into the palace, the Demon King looked up at the sky. At this moment, a strange big bird flew in the direction of the eagle regiment.
"Damn it! Damn it! How could this be! Ahhh! Just a little bit more. Just a little bit more. The spiritual quality is enough! "
The mysterious girl lay on the back of the strange bird. She shouted and beat the strange bird. The stopping of the killing made her very angry.
Suddenly, she saw a black dot on the land. Her brows furrowed.
"It's you! You spoiled my plans again! Looks like I'll have to settle the score with you soon. "
She cursed a few times and soon disappeared into the horizon.
Breaking through the city gate and facing the Demon King was a group of soldiers from the Empire who were still in shock. They looked at each other and couldn't tell whether they were friend or foe.
The Demon King glanced at them. Facing this black knight, they could feel the pressure of a mountain. At this moment, the general guarding the city squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of them.
"Are you all friends from the Union?"
The general asked cautiously. Indeed, other than a large country, only the Adventurer's Guild could have such an army.
Suddenly, the Black Knight raised his hand and made a gesture. Suddenly, there was the sound of a horse's hooves approaching. A person wearing a large helmet and noble attire walked out of the army.
"General Wu, don't you recognize me?"
General Wu frowned and sized up the man in formal attire. He was in his forties and had a goatee. Although he was dressed in noble attire, he gave off a sharp and unkind vibe.
Eibron's mouth twitched. No matter what, he was still a count with his own territory and a merchant with a merchant guild. He was still a famous person.
"It's me! Eibron from the west. I received a letter from the King and learned that the city was in trouble. I've brought my army here to help. " Eibron raised his chin and said with a smile. His expression was full of pride. After all, he had someone backing him up.
As soon as these words came out, General Wu's expression was one of surprise. His eyes were wide open and he even stretched his head forward a little. Hidden under his helmet, the Demon King couldn't help but laugh. As expected, he never got tired of this expression.
"Count Eibron?? This? This, this is your army? "
General Wu was confused, but at least he knew they were from the Empire. He bowed and raised his hand.
"Thank you for your support! Sir Eibron, I'm sure the King is happy to see you. This way, please. "
"Yes, lead the way. It's been a long time since I've been here."
"Yes, Sir Eibron."
Eibron didn't even dare to imagine that the general of the city would bow down to him. Everyone who mentioned his official title looked at him with disdain. Today, he could finally hold his head up high.
Just as Eibron was getting carried away, the sound of hooves came from behind him. He immediately reacted and turned around with a smile, bowing to the Demon King.
The entire army was treated as heroes. Countless people cheered for them as they passed. Since they didn't prepare any flowers, the citizens plucked the ones they planted and scattered their petals in the air.
Eibron enjoyed the moment. He waved to the crowd and many rushed forward to offer flowers. The soldiers ignored them and kept looking forward. Eibron was the only one who accepted them. It was obvious he was thinking how much better it would be if they gave him money.
"Count Eibron! Welcome home, hahaha! Come, have a seat. "
As soon as he entered the palace, he heard the king's warm voice. Eibron looked back with an uneasy expression, but when he turned back to face the king again, he was already wearing his usual merchant's smile.
"Your Majesty! I'm relieved to see you safe and sound. "
Eibron knelt down on one knee, cursing in his heart. Why isn't this fat pig dead yet?
"Get up, get up. You've done a great job today. You don't need to stand. Servants, bring me a chair."
One by one, the ministers pushed the door open and the attendants quickly brought a chair over. However, Eibron couldn't sit comfortably on the chair. He could still feel the hostility from the ministers around him, but they could only smile at him in an attempt to appease him. They didn't dare to be as brazen as before.
"Hehe, Eibron, you did well this time. I always trusted you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have promoted you to count and given you the western lands."
Eibron cursed in his heart. He'd spent more than half of his wealth to get that title, and he'd even made things difficult for him. Just thinking about it made him angry.
"Sigh, you're not like those nobles who show their sincerity every day. You're the one who's loyal to the Liska Empire. Count Eibron, I'll reward you by marrying my daughter Ellie to you."
Eibron's heart skipped a beat. Princess Ellie?!
She'd inherited her father's fat body. Eibron had heard plenty of rumors about her. She was fat, ugly, and had a twisted personality. Anyone who dared to call her fat and ugly in front of her would never see the sun in the west.
Betroth her to Eibron? That wasn't a reward, it was torture!
"By the way, when did you get an army like this? They're so brave, even fiercer than our Wyvern Army."
As expected, the King asked about it.
Eibron tensed up. He didn't know how to explain it, but a soldier's voice came from outside.
"This is the palace! You can't bring weapons in! Ah! "
The soldier's cry attracted everyone's attention. They all looked towards the door. The King's guards immediately raised their weapons. A black knight appeared at the door.
