On a huge sailboat a few kilometers away from the coastline.
A tall, middle-aged man with a white beard and a dignified expression was standing on the deck at the stern of the boat, looking at the continent that was gradually disappearing behind him. He was the immortal that Chen Mo had been looking for, Alexander Corvinus.
Just as he was looking at the land that was about to leave, a flash of silver light suddenly entered his sight.
On the towering cliff by the sea in the distance, a team of silver-armored Knights suddenly appeared. Staring at the tallest and only black-robed Knight, Alexander Corvinus's eyes were full of seriousness, anger, and deep confusion.
Ever since the plague that swept through Europe a few hundred years ago, it had awakened the Perfect Blood in his body, making him fearless of all diseases. At the same time, he had become very powerful. Most importantly, he had obtained immortality!
But he did not feel that he was above humans. He always felt that humans were the masters of this world, and he was always an anomaly.
So after that, in order to not be discovered by others, he resolutely gave up his territory and tried his best to hide himself, pretending to be an ordinary person. Until his two sons were bitten by vampire bats and wild wolves.
The two who inherited a part of his perfect bloodline had evolved after they were injured. However, compared to him, the evolution of his two sons was more like a mutation. Not only had their appearance changed, but even their habits and temperament had undergone a huge change.
Marcus grew long fangs in his mouth and became afraid of sunlight, but was filled with an uncontrollable desire for blood. He sucked the blood of all the livestock in the family dry and turned them into dried corpses. In the end, when he wanted to attack humans, he was stopped in time.
William completely turned into a wild beast, crazy, cruel, and bloodthirsty. He did not even recognize his father and crazily wanted to attack him.
Alexander Corvinus thought that this was God's punishment for him, because he had power and abilities that humans should not have.
Although his two sons had completely turned into anomalies, they were still his flesh and blood. In the end, Alexander Corvinus did not have the heart to kill them. Instead, he expelled them and left them to fend for themselves.
It was only when the calamity of the werewolves began to spread that Alexander realized how terrifying his son's destructive power was.
However, he still couldn't bear to do anything to his sons. Instead, he followed behind them to clean up after them.
However, his power was limited. Even though he had many elite warriors working for him, the werewolves still wreaked havoc on the European continent.
Even though he knew that the source of all this was his son, William, and that as long as he killed or even locked him up, everything would end, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He could only follow behind William and clean up the mess he created, trying his best to control the damage within a certain range, until Chen Mo appeared.
Back in the valley, when Chen Mo and the Knight Regiment were ambushed by hundreds of werewolves, in order to avoid Marcus, who was hiding in the woods, Alexander and his men were hiding further away and quietly observing.
Because they were too far away and out of Chen Mo's sensing range, plus they were well hidden, Chen Mo didn't notice them.
However, they had witnessed Chen Mo's display of invincible might from afar. He had shot out bolts of blue lightning and killed all the werewolves in the area.
The shock that this scene caused to Alexander's heart was incomparably intense. This was power that only a god could possess!
At that time, he had a feeling that Chen Mo was sent by the heavens to take back the power in his body that shouldn't be controlled by humans.
However, he wasn't willing to surrender. He was used to immortality and had experienced the growth, aging, and death of countless ordinary people around him. However, he could ignore the passage of time and wasn't afraid of death. He treated life like a game. He didn't want to become an ordinary person who would grow old, get sick, and die.
Even if this was the arrangement of the heavens, he wouldn't accept it. If the heavens wanted to take back his power, then they would have to catch him personally.
Therefore, after Chen Mo led the Knight Regiment away, Alexander Corvinus didn't care about William and Marcus anymore. Instead, he led his men and left Chen Mo's territory.
After leaving, Alexander Corvinus kept an eye on Chen Mo's movements.
After operating in the European continent for hundreds of years, Alexander Corvinus had his own information channels. He learned about Marcus's loyalty and William's imprisonment not long after. He didn't have any other thoughts about it. William had wreaked havoc on this land for hundreds of years, killing and destroying countless villages. He had caused too many massacres, so it was only natural that he was imprisoned.
William was his son, so he couldn't do it himself. However, if someone else imprisoned or even killed him, he might feel a little sad, but he wouldn't stop it. He deserved all of this.
The large-scale search that followed also confirmed his guess. Chen Mo was really coming for him, but how did he know of his existence?
The only person in the world who knew of his existence was Marcus, but he didn't know that he had been following them all this time. How did Chen Mo find out?
If he hadn't had that inexplicable premonition when he first saw Chen Mo and didn't retreat in time, he might have been surrounded by Chen Mo's Knight Regiment.
Although he was powerful, and the soldiers under him were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, compared to Chen Mo's numerous and well-equipped Knight Regiment, he was far from being a match for them. There was no way he could contend against them.
Fortunately, he had already left Chen Mo's territory. Europe was so big that Chen Mo shouldn't be able to find him anymore.
Who would have thought that the subsequent development would be completely out of his expectations?
After Chen Mo's fruitless search, he began to expand without stopping. The powerful Knight Regiment under his command continued to conquer territories on the continent for him. No matter how powerful the Lord's army was, or how sturdy the castle was, nothing could stop Chen Mo's expansion.
This Temple Knight Regiment, as Chen Mo's people called it, was like an unstoppable flood of steel, sweeping across the land. Wherever their iron hooves stepped on, the Nine-Headed Dragon Flag, which represented Chen Mo's rule, was planted.
In the face of Chen Mo's crazy expansion, in order to avoid Chen Mo's powerful army, Alexander Corvinus led his elite soldiers to constantly move away from Chen Mo's territory, always avoiding the Knight Regiment. He didn't come into direct contact with them, nor was he discovered by them.
But what he didn't expect was that Chen Mo's expansion would be so rapid. His territory grew bigger and bigger, and in the end, it occupied the center of Europe. It expanded from the north to the south all the way to the coastline, completely cutting off the east and west of Europe.
At that time, Alexander, who was in the west of Chen Mo's territory, had no room to turn around. Chen Mo's territory completely occupied the direction of his retreat to the east of Europe. The castles on the edge of the territory, a large number of well-guarded troops, and heavily armored Knight patrolling back and forth completely blocked him in the west.
As Chen Mo's army continued to advance westward, Alexander led his soldiers step by step to the westernmost point of Europe, Cape Roca.
Here, as an exiled noble, Alexander Corvinus joined the local lord's castle, who was in a state of panic. He provided him with a large amount of wealth, helped him repair the castle walls, and reorganized his military, preparing to resist Chen Mo's attack together.
This noble lord, who was originally a tyrant in his own territory, fell into deep fear and despair after learning of Chen Mo's treatment of the nobles. With his past actions, he would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being executed. Rather than that, he might as well fight to the death.
The appearance of Alexander Corvinus, a noble who was in the same predicament as him, and who had been lucky enough to escape, strengthened his determination to resist.
Alexander had experience in resisting Chen Mo's attack, and he also generously gave him a large amount of wealth to use to strengthen his military. With Alexander's help in resisting Chen Mo's attack, he was very happy. He also trusted and valued Alexander very much.
And Alissanda had indeed helped him a lot, allowing his castle's defensive capabilities to become much stronger than before. Alissanda was also much more confident in dealing with Chen Mo. However, Alissanda was secretly preparing an escape route for himself.
Under the cliff behind the castle, he secretly prepared a huge sailboat. He also secretly stored enough food, fresh water, and other nautical resources for himself and his subordinates to consume. Finally, he finished all the preparations before Chen Mo's Knight Regiment arrived.
He had just finished preparing his escape route when Chen Mo's Knight Regiment arrived outside the castle.
While his partner, the lord he used as a shield, was busy resisting Chen Mo, Alexander Corvinus and his subordinates quietly left the castle. Before Chen Mo completely occupied this last piece of land, they boarded the prepared sailboat and set sail.
In these three years, Alexander Corvinus and his subordinates hid everywhere. Under Chen Mo's pressure, they constantly retreated to the west. In the end, they were forced to leave the European continent.
But this time, they had completely escaped Chen Mo's evil clutches. With the navigation technology of this era, it was impossible to transport a large number of Knights and warhorses across the sea to fight.
What he was afraid of before was Chen Mo's powerful heavy-armored Knight Regiment.
If Chen Mo really dared to cross the sea with a group of Knights without warhorses to chase after him, then he would let Chen Mo know that he, Alexander Corvinus, was not a coward who only knew how to hide and run.
He would use his strength to tell Chen Mo that his reputation as the earliest immortal was not undeserved.
