In the middle of the ocean, the grey knight geno prototype appeared in a blue light.
Thunder rumbled, and billions of light beams covered Laing's body.
Bells rang, and thousands of birds chirped in response to the demi-god's power.
Under the horrified gazes of all the Northka people.
All the Brittany were overjoyed.
Under the contrast of the two seas that were dozens of meters tall, Leon stood there proudly, displaying his peerless beauty and surging vitality.
Everyone who saw Laing had the urge to worship him. No human had ever seen such a pure creature. He was brave, he was smart, he was strong, and he was beautiful.
Just like the apocalyptic voice that signaled the end of the world, the original body quickly noticed that one of his dukes had died in the battle, and the other one was dying. His anger quickly turned into a tsunami that swept toward the coast of Lyonnesse.
The Nosikas were in a panic, and the Chosen Warriors of Tzeentch looked serious.
It was a demi-god.
Laing stood there proudly. His original body was only wearing a simple robe. He looked at the defeated Brittany on the battlefield and sighed. He put his hands together and then opened them again.
A godly sword burning with an undying flame was drawn from Laing's hand. It was the Goddess of Vengeance. On the one-and-a-half-foot-long blade, the purifying flame burned from the hilt to the tip. The blinding light made all the barbarians and creatures who believed in chaos feel an instinctive fear.
The Skalinsians were defeated. No one wanted to fight such a powerful being. Their warlord was already dead.
"Laing, it's you!" Banda shouted angrily. The demon prince crazily told him everything. "It's you. It's all you. You are the origin of everything. Good, very good. Do you remember who I am?"
"…" Laing did not answer. His original body jumped out of the ocean. His voice turned into a sky blue rainbow, and he landed 30 feet away from the demon prince in a perfect parabola.
His original body landed gracefully without splashing any dust. His sea blue eyes did not even look surprised.
"Answer me!" The demon prince saw that Laing did not answer him, and he was even angrier. He raised his head, and a five-colored flame shot out. His original body was instantly covered in a pillar of fire.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky.
Did he succeed? The demon prince could not help but look forward to it.
The flames gradually dissipated, and smoke rose into the sky. Leon stood there unharmed. His original body was still expressionless. He slowly got up and straightened his legs. Then, he reached out his hand that was not holding a weapon. His palm was facing upwards, and he used his fingertip to beckon the Demon Prince of Tzeentch.
Comeon。
Banda let out an incoherent scream. The demon prince was almost driven crazy by Ryan's action!
After the explosion in Mjoden Haven, the former mercenary did not die. Instead, he accidentally entered a mysterious realm, which was the subspace.
No one knew what Banda experienced in the realm of chaos. This mercenary's heart was filled with endless hatred and distortion. He spent an unknown amount of time in the realm of chaos. No one knew how Banda gained the favor of Tzeentch and was promoted to the demon prince.
No one knew that now, Banda was about to vent his hatred on Laing, and Laing … did not have any intention of listening?
How could this be? How could this be allowed?!
Ahhhh!!!
Laing just silently looked at the demon prince in front of him. Some distant memories appeared in the mind of the newly promoted body.
Banda?
Who is that?
His original body thought carefully, and some memories of when he was still a mortal emerged.
Ah, I remember. I seem to have heard this name when I was adventuring with Teresa in Nord.
At that time … my nickname was "Big Hammer"? That was my nickname when I was a mortal.
What did he do?
Laing really could not remember.
Seeing that Laing was thinking, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord Banda was ecstatic.
He remembered me, he recognized me!
Very good, this kind of revenge can be considered …
"I can't remember, but looking at you … Are you interested in acting with my brother, Conrad Koz?"
Extreme anger caused the hundreds of eyeballs on Banda's face to distort at the same time. The demon prince spread his wings and charged straight at Laing.
Laing moved, and the Vengeance Origin Form in his original body's hand flashed with a lonely light.
The golden hounds summoned by the demon prince were instantly shattered. No one saw how these things disappeared. Only the white-gold flames in the air and the sky-blue arc of light explained everything.
The two sides clashed. The demon prince's Demon Bird Greatsword and the Vengeance Origin Form clashed. Banda retreated, and the demon prince's blood spilled on the coast of Lyonnesse. A series of vines instantly grew out.
Laing's second attack. The Vengeance Origin Form swept out sparks, and a grain-sized gap appeared on Banda's Demon Bird Greatsword.
The third attack caused the demon prince's chest to blister from the high temperature. He screamed and flew backward. The boiling demon blood fell on the coast of Lyonnesse, and a series of colorful thorns instantly grew out of the ground.
After only three attacks, Banda had already realized that perhaps he was still not Laing's match.
There was nothing more despairing than this.
Just as Laing and the demon prince were fighting, Duke Taubert finally crawled out of a pile of cold metal fragments and gravel. Duke Le-Angouland spat out blood. His internal organs were injured, and one of his hands was broken. He was only able to stand up now because of his willpower.
To a certain extent, he was as despairing as the demon prince, the Hundred Eyed Demon Lord Banda.
"Damn, is it the Sun King again? Has he finally become a Demigod? " Duke Taubert muttered to himself. He looked at Laing's imposing figure and his appearance, which no longer looked like a mortal. Although Laing's appearance had saved Lyonnesse and himself, Duke Taubert did not feel any joy in his heart.
In fact, he felt humiliated.
He hated his own incompetence.
He hated that his glory had been tarnished.
He hated that he needed Laing to save him personally.
Looking at the people and soldiers around him who had fallen, Duke Taubert roared, got up, and threw his body directly at the demon prince.
“！” Laing and Banda both noticed this scene. The demon prince laughed coldly, thinking, I can't beat Laing, but I can beat you.
With a wave of his hand, five huge colorful fireballs flew directly at Duke Taubert.
Laing reacted quickly. The Sun King subconsciously put a Psionic Shield on Duke Taubert's body. Then, the Vengeance Origin Form instantly extended nearly ten meters. With a sweep of the sword, the five colorful fireballs exploded on the spot, creating sparks.
"Get lost! I don't need your help, Your Majesty! "Duke Taubert shouted at Laing.
"…" Seeing this, Laing withdrew the Vengeance Origin Form. The demigod looked at the duke under his command and finally had some expression on his face. It was a playful look, more or less understanding.
He understood Duke Taubert's decision. His original body even crossed his arms and watched the show.
"Pay the price, demon!" The duke held the knight sword and used all his strength to send the blade out. Taking advantage of the gap when Banda had just finished casting his spell, he pierced the demon prince's shoulder with the blade. Banda grunted in pain, then grabbed the duke's body and slashed Duke Taubert's throat with his sharp claws.
Duke Taubert of Le-Angouland died in battle on the coast of Lyonnesse.
Seeing Taubert die in battle, Laing found himself unexpectedly calm.
If he was still a mortal, he would definitely save Duke Taubert. Duke Taubert was his vassal, his subordinate, and half his supporter. In the previous incident, Duke Taubert had been obedient. There was no reason for such an excellent knight to die in battle here.
However, after becoming a demigod, Laing found that his feelings had become somewhat indifferent. He did not seem to care so much. If Duke Taubert had asked for his help or stayed there without moving, Laing would naturally save him. However, Duke Taubert had made it clear that he wanted to die, so Laing respected his choice.
After dealing with Duke Taubert, Banda once again focused his attention on Laing.
In a rage, the demon prince summoned hundreds of meteor crystals from the realm of chaos and threw them at Laing. Then, five colorful evil flames and six metal torrents blocked all of Laing's escape routes.
However, Laing did not have the slightest intention of leaving. His original body did not even intend to dodge. He stood where he was, put away the Vengeance Source Form, crossed his hands, pressed them on his lower abdomen, and clenched his fists.
Once again, Laing was enveloped in explosions and flames. His body was covered in thick smoke. Banda madly used all of his magic. The demon prince was like a large turret. Within a full three minutes, he bombarded indiscriminately, blowing up several spell craters where Laing was. The dust and smoke that were stirred up could be clearly seen more than ten kilometers away.
Finally, the demon prince's magic power temporarily fell to the bottom. He looked at Laing with anticipation.
The thick smoke dissipated. Laing was still there, neither sad nor happy. He did not leave.
Most of the meteor crystals, colorful evil flames, and metal torrents all stopped the moment they touched Laing. It was as if he controlled time. Space was distorted, absorbing all of the light. The entities formed by the spells disintegrated into the most primitive sub-space energy again.
Laing gently loosened his fists and stretched out his hands.
Psionic power, counterattack!
The sky-blue nova shockwave was pulled into a straight line by the power of the original body. Following the colorful evil flames emitted by Banda, the sky-blue light beam flashed and the light beam passed through the demon prince's body.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon King Banda's body stopped moving.
The gray knight's original body stopped moving. He waved his hand, turned around, and left in the opposite direction. Then, he turned into a stream of light and teleported away.
The demon prince's body began to explode. Dozens of psionic powers exploded in his body one after another. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King Banda's head exploded into thousands of pieces, followed by his neck, body, limbs, and wings.
Finally, Banda's soul.
The clown is me.
From today onwards, the demon prince of Tzeentch, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King Banda, who was personally conferred the title by the Master of All Changes, will be removed from the realm of chaos and the mortal world at the same time!
… I am the cut-off line from today onwards …
The glorious return of the Sun King and his queen was accompanied by the news of the death of two dukes.
The battle on the coast of Lyonnesse ended with a pyrrhic victory for the Brittany. The 20,000 Skalins that attacked the coast of the kingdom were almost completely annihilated. The demon prince of Tzeentch, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, was also completely annihilated. He did not have the chance to return to the realm of chaos to recuperate like the other demon princes.
On the other hand, two dukes of Brittany had also died in battle. Duke Adehard of Lyonnesse and Duke Taubert of Le-Angoulin had violated the defense strategy of the northern coast that Laouen had previously formulated, which was to "hold fast and wait for reinforcements". They chose to fight and died one after another. Their family knights and squires also suffered heavy losses.
With the appearance of Laing and Suria, the Fontainebleau Palace, which had originally entered a "dormant" period, began to become active again.
The one who felt it the most was Laing's current head maid, Sylvia. She could clearly feel that the entire palace seemed to have woken up from its slumber and was glowing with vitality. Smiles began to appear on the faces of the servants. The number of bureaucrats and nobles began to increase. A steady stream of resources and information began to enter the Fountain of Beauty and the Oval Courtyard, waiting for Laing and Suria's approval. The Old Guard and the Muxilon Army had also regained their backbone.
After all, Devenhill was still too young. He had no strength, no right to speak, and no prestige. With the return of Laing and Suria, the baron could only obediently become a student and continue to listen to the Green Knight's lectures.
Sitting on the main seat, Laing nodded slightly to the temporary Duke Magritte standing below. The Sun King's voice was very soft, and no emotions could be heard from it. "Since you have already accepted the support of the Estalians, then accept the title of Duke with peace of mind. However, how much land and manors you want to inherit, and whether you can recover Estalia, will depend on your own ability."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Juan sat below. The hot-blooded youth of the past had now entered his thirties. "No matter what, I swear that I will always be loyal to you."
"Heh, about the construction of the Estalian militia, how is it going?" Laing did not care. He really did not care at the moment.
"Great Teacher Enzo has carefully selected 8000 regular soldiers and 22000 reserve soldiers from the 300,000 strong youths. They are all good men, but they still need some time to train," Juan said respectfully. "Your Majesty, please appoint this part of the army as the commander-in-chief."
"We will provide support in terms of supplies. Since it is the Estalian army, you will naturally be the commander-in-chief. As for this army, it will be under the command of Regent Lauren." Laing said to Lauren, who was sitting on the other side. After receiving a positive answer, this topic was temporarily resolved.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lauren stood up. In front of everyone, he said to Laing, "Your Majesty, Duke Adahad and Duke Taubert have both died in battle … It is time for their heirs to inherit the title of Duke."
Lauren's words represented the hearts of the knights and nobles. It seemed that for some special reason, after the death of the two dukes, Laing did not immediately let their heirs inherit the title of Duke. Instead, he let the two titles remain empty for the time being.
"I just happened to want to talk to you about this matter." Laing said gently, "Everyone, the situation in the old world is critical now. I think that the current system needs to be changed."
"Change?!" The dukes and marshals were shocked.
How does His Majesty want to change it?
"Now, the power of the country must be united." Laing's expression gradually turned cold. "Therefore, in this dark moment, we cannot be separated and scattered. We must unify our power."
"Therefore, I propose to establish the kingdom's wartime cabinet!"
"Wartime cabinet?"
