Empire Calendar, Year 2515, July, Drakwald Black Forest, a place where sunlight couldn't reach.
Even in the middle of summer, the Drakwald Forest in Midden was still shrouded in terrifying shade and thick fog. The sun could not be seen there at all. The place was shrouded in darkness and thick fog. It was an absolute forbidden zone for life. Sunlight never touched the cold ground. All colors seemed to have been drained from the soil. Piles of bones and giant spider nests were scattered all over the decaying land.
But today, a large group of uninvited guests had arrived.
Knight King Leon stood on a small slope in the dense forest. The fog around him could not block his glory and power, which was like the sun. Leon's eyes were fixed in front of him. The Gray Knight Gene Primordial Body sneered. Under the gorgeous king's robe and the white gold cloak was his majestic figure.
"I've made many enemies, but I defeated them all."
Knight King exhaled calmly. He waved his pride and recalled his glorious past.
"Under the swamp and corruption, they once said that Mu Xilon would never be reclaimed!"
The Lightning Strike at the Spire Palace, the battle against the Tzeentch Army, the battle at Landuin Graveyard, the battle between Culona and the Venomous Snake Masubard, until Alfred Frey blew up the city walls with a torch. After 300 years, Mu Xilon was once again reclaimed.
"In the land of the Green Skins and Rat Men, they said that Eight Peaks Mountain would never return to the embrace of the Dwarves!"
The initial battle at the Giant Tower, the siege of the Armory, the battle of the Iron Cliff Cavalry, the bloody battle at the Valaya Gate, the glorious final battle at the Titan's Gate, the final battle to reclaim Eight Peaks Mountain, the Green Skin Warlord Skarnik and Headhunter Quake were beheaded. After 3000 years, Eight Peaks Mountain would once again return to the rule of the Angran Clan. The Mountain Kingdom would be revived!
"In the Black Forest and Frost Kingdom, they said that the Orcs and Chaos would never be truly defeated!"
The Battle of Shantiron repelled the World Walker army, the Battle of the Swamp of Pain defeated the main Orc army, the Battle of Bagration killed the Supreme King of Noska, the Battle of the Three Kings, one King killed two Kings, the Battle of Herzig defeated the Pernicious army, the Battle of Wolffin defeated the main Chaos army, and the March Storm recaptured Örengrád.
"Now? Now they have nothing to say! " Laing shouted proudly at his army, "They fear me like they fear the power of thunder and storm. I am Laing Macado! I am the king! "
Waves of cheers came one after another.
Under the dense shade of the Black Forest of Drakoward, Black Pit's Green Skin Army was retreating in defeat.
They screamed in terror and fled. The Orcs of Oke shuddered and retreated in defeat. The Goblins crawled on all fours in the forest that was covered with spider webs. The Brittany army came from all directions. The tricolor flag and the Lion flag fluttered in the windless forest.
The knights dismounted one after another and chased after the Orcs of Oke. They used their shields to knock them to the ground and pierced their chests with their longswords. The musketeers kept opening their mouths, and the dense rain of bullets harvested the Green Skin deserters.
Thick smoke billowed, and the cannons were firing. The eight legs of the Anaknari Queen Spider twitched and fell in the forest. It let out a series of desperate cries. There were several cannon wounds on its body. Two of its legs were blown off, and green blood flowed out. It screamed for the Green Skin Army to save it. However, at this time, the Green Skin Army was defeated. When they saw the tricolor flag and the sword emblem in the iris book, they had already lost the courage to fight. Even the most powerful Orcs' legs were trembling.
Many of the Green Skin Army remembered the fear of being dominated by the Bearskin Caps and Tin Cans a few months ago in Middstange.
Crying and wailing, the Green Skins collapsed after a short battle. It was hard to imagine that these were the Black Pit Green Skins that had once caused countless troubles and burned along the way to Midden Hill. They had occupied a large number of outposts, strongholds, villages, and fortresses.
What caused them to be so weak and vulnerable?
The Green Skin Army that was closest to them cried and fled into the forest like insects scattered under the torches. Panic spread throughout the goblin tribe like a virus. Fear came. The spiders and their masters in the forest retreated into the tree trunks, hollow trees, and muddy shacks until they were completely hidden. Even the spiders that wandered around the edge of the clearing turned and fled.
"Victory! Victory! Victory! "
"Long live the Lady! Long live the King! Long live the Brittany! "
Large groups of Brittany troops lit torches. They raised their weapons and proudly looked at the spoils of this encounter — the Anaknari Queen Spider that had fallen to the ground and lost the ability to resist. It was once an unstoppable giant beast and the symbol of the Black Pit Green Skin Army's power. But now, it was just a defeated creature that was on the verge of death!
The Knight King's order was cruel and merciless. Laing raised a hand and even a finger. His voice echoed in the Black Forest, "Burn it!"
"Yea yea yea yea!"
"Burn it!"
"Long live the King!"
Torches were thrown at the Empress Spider like meteors. In the midst of the burning flames, the once insufferably arrogant Giant Spider could only watch as the flames engulfed it.
Then, it turned into ashes.
Duke Berchemund and Duke François led the army forward. Beside Laing, the fully armed Old Guard, wearing bearskin hats and holding weapons in both hands, marched forward. Every Old Guard's face was shrouded in holy light. They had won again. Some of the Old Guard even felt that this level of victory could no longer intoxicate them. But it was still a victory to be proud of. Now, under the leadership of King Laing, they would once again create glory!
The black bearskin hats, the tricolor flags, and the Queen Spider that had been burned into an empty shell in the fire seemed to be announcing the end of the glorious history of the Black Pit Green Skin Army!
Because they had met the best Knight King, because they had met that man, the great Knight King Laing Macado!
At this moment, they were less than five kilometers away from the holy land of the Green Skin Army and the Spider God's main shrine.
A day later, in the depths of the Black Pit.
This used to be the holy land of the Green Skin Army, but now it had become a ruin.
Smoke, flames, swords, spears, and despair shrouded the Black Pit Green Skin Army. The glory of the past was long gone. The humans were here to kill, and the shrimps were here for revenge. They were cruel and ruthless, and they were especially powerful.
They were so powerful that the Green Skin Army couldn't fight back, and they didn't have the courage to fight back. Everywhere they went, there was only massacre.
The new Spider King, the chosen one of the Spider God, Gleeb Big Claw, was leading the last pair of Goblin Spider Riders to charge around. There was an army of tin cans everywhere. Gleeb Big Claw was trying to find a way to the shrine of the Spider God in the Black Pit. There, he would be able to activate the last and most powerful power of the Spider God, using the power of the Evil Moon to defeat these Brittany shrimps!
At this moment, a team of Gold Cup cans blocked in front of him!
The leader was the Red Dragon Duke, the direct descendant of the first Knight King, Arthur. He was at the peak of the Sanctuary-level, close to a Demigod, Duke Berchemund! The old duke was delighted to see the prey. He raised the giant Red Dragon Scepter in his hand, pointed it at Gleeb, and laughed. "That's it! My brothers, the Spider King is here. There's no need to talk about knights for this kind of beast. Let's fight together! "
The Holy Grail Knights of the Red Dragon Knight Brotherhood shouted together, "For the Lady and the King, for the Brittany!"
The King of Spiders, Gleeb Big Claw, also showed some cowardice under its rage. It squeaked, "For the Black Pit, for the Spider God, boys, charge!"
As the Spider Riders rushed to resist the Holy Grail Knights, Gleeb immediately began to chant a mysterious spell.
Between the dark forest and the canyon, the Evil Moon became more and more dazzling. A strong green light enveloped the whole battlefield. Then, a very large phantom of a spider appeared in the Evil Moon. It was made of pure moonlight.
The Brittany army was frightened by this giant phantom of a spider. The soldiers could not help but retreat. After all, no one dared to directly challenge an existence that they did not understand. The Spider King then pointed sharply at the human shrimps surrounding him. "The shrimps are dying. Boys, follow the footsteps of the Spider God. Charge!"
The Curse of the Evil Moon was very powerful at first. The first Brittany soldiers who came into contact with the spiritual spiders were burned to ashes in the green flames, leaving behind only a pile of ashes. The goblin shamans in black armor laughed wildly, praising the Spider God.
But soon, a clear and delicate voice sounded on the other side of the battlefield. "Light of the Lake Goddess!"
The pure Light of the Lake Goddess broke the Curse of the Evil Moon. The Lake Goddess Witch Morgiana led the Lake Goddess Prophets into the battlefield. These prophets, who were universally respected by the soldiers and knights, chanted a divine spell together. The platinum Light of the Lake Goddess immediately suppressed the green Curse of the Evil Moon. The two divine powers collided, causing the sky above the Black Pit to burst open, creating cracks in space.
Which was better, the divine power of the Spider God or the divine power of the Lake Goddess?
The answer was self-evident. Under such a violent collision, the phantom of the Spider God distorted and dissipated in the air until it completely disappeared.
In the middle of the battlefield was the duel between the Duke of Berchemund and the new Spider King. Compared to the former Spider King, Snagra Venomsaliva, Gleb Bigclaw's combat ability was far inferior. Its weapon could not break through the full-body rune plate armor of the Duke of Berchemund. It could only rely on tearing apart the old Duke's robe to find some sense of existence.
"In the name of the Lady, die! Dirty green scum! " The Duke of Berchemund picked up the Red Dragon Scepter and drew a violent arc in the air, directly smashing the head of the giant spider that Gleb was sitting on. The giant spider's skull was smashed into pieces. The beast tried to fight back before it died, but the Duke of the Red Dragon would not give it another chance. The second blow ended everything.
The Spider King was furious. It immediately took out a poisoned spear from under its body and threw it at the Duke of Berchemund the moment the giant spider fell. The Duke of Berchemund immediately understood the power of the spear. He calmly switched the Red Dragon Scepter to his other hand. In an instant, he wrapped the Dragonskin Cloak around him and blocked it with his shield.
Clang! The spear was blocked by the shield that was soaked in the holy water blessed by the Lake Goddess. The Duke of the Red Dragon contemptuously reached out and broke the spear. Then, he unsheathed the Sword in the Stone and pierced through the Spider King's feather mask and through its head.
The Spider King, Gleb Bigclaw, was dead. Seeing this, the remaining green-skinned creatures and spiders finally lost their morale. They fled in all directions, giving up on the green-skinned creatures that had lived for thousands of years.
"Victory! Victory! " The Duke of Berchemund proudly raised the Spider King's head with his sword. "We won!"
The cheers of the Bretons reverberated throughout the large black pit.
"In the name of the Lady, I declare that the plunder has begun! Everything in the black pit and the green-skinned creatures belongs to us! " The Knight King Laing proudly announced, "Soldiers, knights, take everything of value that you see. Leave nothing behind!"
"Ahhhh! Long live the King! "
The plunder had begun.
The statue of the Spider God was toppled. Every green-skinned creature and spider nest was opened. The hungry and ferocious Brittany army poured into the black pit like a tide. They robbed everything they saw and killed any green-skinned creatures they saw.
The wealth that the green-skinned creatures had accumulated for thousands of years, including everything they had seized in the thousand-year war with the Empire, had now become the spoils of war for the Brittany. Gold and gems were dug out from the eyes, noses, mouths, and navels of the green-skinned creatures. Large pieces of enamel silver were put into bags by the knights. The serfs and soldiers scrambled to peel off the thick spider silk to look for spoils of war. More knowledgeable freemen were looking for the spiders' nests. There were often high-quality spider silk and silk pulp accumulated by the black-pit spiders. These things were the best raw materials for making clothes and robes! And they could also be used to make high-quality spider silk stockings!
"Bertrand, you guys go and rob as well." Laing, who was standing on a high ground, said to the Old Guard, "The palace of the Spider King is there. Take whatever you find, but keep an eye on the innermost cave. No one is allowed to enter."
"Yes!" The Old Guard also followed the order. The Old Guard Great Swordsman at the front slashed open the gate of the Spider King's palace. Then, these elite soldiers began their journey to make a fortune.
What kind of bountiful harvest did the Brittany get from this plunder?
Because Laing asked the Brittany to "make a fortune in secret," no one knew the exact amount of wealth, but they could find out from the scattered records.
After plundering the black pit and burning it to ashes, an Old Guard sergeant, Great Swordsman Bergst, recorded his harvest in his diary.
"When I left the black pit, I took a little inventory of my backpack and bags."
"There were a few pieces of hard bread, two bottles of honey, three packets of biscuits, one packet of brown sugar, one packet of refined salt, two bottles of Empire beer, a bolt of Aurora silk embroidered with golden dragons and phoenixes, several fist-sized pieces of dog's head gold, a small bag of various gems, three green enamel ornaments, a green-skinned gold mask that was cut in half, and a big bag full of coins. There were gold crowns, gold marks, gold Dukat, silver shillings, and even coins from Tyrell and Estalia. There were so many that I couldn't figure out the exact amount."
"Apart from that, there were also a lot of things in my military uniform and luggage, including a few women's silk dresses, five long windbreakers made of wolf hide, four green-skinned spider statues made of silver and platinum, each weighing several kilograms, three snuff bottles from Kislöw, and a spittoon of the female Tsar Katarina I got from the black market in Örengrád. It was inlaid with seven different colored gems and was made of white marble. I washed it a few times with water, two silk shirts, and a noblewoman from Kislöw. She used the silk vest to exchange for a pork leg, a pork rib, two kilograms of bread, a small bottle of honey, and a bottle of wine."
"I also have a large mink fur cloak on my shoulders. Inside the cloak are two bags of high-quality Black Pit spider silk and silk pulp. It shouldn't be a problem to use these to exchange for the silk stockings that my wife at home wants. Oh, there's also a row of small lacquer wares from the Far East that I seized from the Spider King's palace. Hopefully, I can sell them for a good price."
Just as the knights were plundering crazily, Laing arrived at the deepest part of the black pit.
As expected! There was a legendary ancient saint's relic inside!
