On the battlefield, the sky gradually turned to noon. The venomous rain summoned by the Scourge Lords gradually covered the entire battlefield. Battle cries gradually filled the plains.
On the battlefield of Masselhoff, the Nur army and the Skaven Ratmen were locked in a fierce battle. Both sides had fought from night to dawn, and from dawn to noon. Both sides were exhausted and were only holding on with their last breath.
The great beast wizard of the Empire, Bernt, died on the spot. His soul turned into a spirit manticore and charged towards Skorj. The Screeching Killer didn't care about it at all. It only smiled sinisterly and cut Bernt's soul open with a blade of misfortune.
Skorj knew very well that the Skaven Ratmen's only chance of victory was to cut off Frey Derick's head. As long as the Nur Baron died, the flag of the savior would fall. Without a doubt, the Empire's army would collapse.
Frey Derick naturally noticed the Scourge Lord charging towards him like a bolt of lightning. The baron couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. No matter what, he was no match for the Scourge Lord. Although his uncle Angran had defeated the Scourge Lord many times before, that was against a demigod and Angran who excelled in melee combat.
At this moment, Frey Derick was only at the peak of Elite, a 20-year-old human warrior who was half a step into the legendary realm. A beginner saint beast wizard was killed by the Scourge Lord before he could even react. Frey Derick knew very well that he was no match for the Scourge Lord.
Laing was more likely to deal with this guy.
However, Baron Noor had been born in an environment close to a single-parent family since he was a child. He only met his father when he was two years old. He still remembered how Ryan had picked him up and told him in an apologetic voice that his father might not be able to appear by his side often and that his father could not teach him personally. How he had replied to Ryan.
"I'll protect my mother. You don't have to worry about me!"
His Godfather Karl-franz, his mentor Geert, and everyone else in the Nur Empire had taught Frey Derick what a brave man's heart was and what the Empire's spirit was.
The Skaven Ratmen want to win this war by killing me?
I won't allow it!
As the Blade of Misfortune fell, Frederick only had time to raise his Hero's Nemesis Sword. The runic sword forged by the wood elves shattered on the spot. The Baron's palm was shattered by this blow, and blood flowed out. Frederick's handsome face instantly scrunched up. The Baron was tormented by the burning pain in his arms, and he could barely open his eyes.
. how could Skorj give Frey Derick another chance? The Scourge Lord attacked once again..
. The Nur Baron no longer had a weapon in his hands. Frey Derick picked up the Gryphon Flag in a moment of desperation.
Clang! Frey Derick felt his entire body go numb. The blade of misfortune split Frey Derick's helmet in half. The Dimension Stone halberd full of poison scraped the Baron's skull, cutting off a strand of his hair. Fortunately, the Gryphon Flag was made of vibranium and was very sturdy.
The first attack failed and the second missed. This made the Scourge Lord feel a deep sense of humiliation. He immediately attacked a third time. Frey Derick was swept off his horse and fell to the ground.
"It's over!" Just as the Scourge Lord was about to deal the fatal blow to Frey Derick, a clear cry came from beside him. The former Queen Alyssa's delicate cry rang out like a lark. The prayer beads on her wrist emitted a blinding psionic light.
The prayer beads of retribution!
"Boom!" The psionic energy exploded on the shoulder of the supreme Scourge Lord, causing it to spurt out blood. White smoke rose from a burnt bloody hole. Skorj groaned and turned his mad and venomous eyes to Alisala.
But the little queen was prepared. She took out a high spiritual artifact from behind her.
The Crown of Iris!
This artifact had enough power to protect Frey Derick. Even though Alyssa was not of the Iris bloodline and had lost her status as the successor of the Eternal Queen, this artifact of Azarion's was reluctantly activated under Alyssa's urging. A white light enveloped Alyssa and Frey Derick. When Skorch's claws swept across the light barrier, they only left a few cracks on its surface.
Alyssa immediately protected the injured Frey Derick behind her. "Frey?!"
"I'm fine." Blood flowed from the corners of Frey Derick's mouth. He first vomited blood and his expression twisted.
This was …
Skorch was about to attack again when a roar came from behind him. Nur's Chief Justice Theodore Bruckner was riding on a strong half-griffin. The tip of his super long storm spear materialized and stabbed towards Skorch's left rib. It was fast and accurate!
Just as the Supreme Scourge Lord was about to dodge, he saw the Grand Commander of the Flaming Sun Knights, Pfitzman, roar angrily as he charged over on a high-quality imperial warhorse led by Ivy. His lance, burning with golden flames of the sun, stabbed horizontally. Skorch could only give up on chasing after Frederick and immediately blocked the combined attacks of Judge Noor and Pfitzman.
But this was not the end. Black Stone Guard Captain Nathan Drake's long-barreled runic musket spewed out white smoke. Skorch instantly felt a chill in his chest, and the blood of the Supreme Calamity Lord instantly sprayed out.
These hairless things don't have any morals, do they? Together, they want to bully a 4,000-year-old Scourge Lord?
The flames in Skorge's eyes erupted on the spot. It turned its body and turned into a flash of lightning. It swung the barbed whip in its hand and sent Pfitzman, the Grand Commander of the Flaming Sun Knights, flying with his horse. A bright light swept across Pfitzman's face like lightning and its entire body emitted a powerful aura.
The Scourge Lord used his back to block the Chief Justice Nur's sword. Light flowed out of his body like a stream of lightning. He reached out and grabbed Pfitzman's head in the air and squeezed it hard.
Along with his helmet and the golden sun statue on it, the head of the Flaming Sun Knights was crushed into pieces.
Pfitzman, the leader of the Flaming Sun Knights who had countless glorious achievements, died just like that.
Without stopping, Skorch chanted a destructive spell. In a few seconds, a ten-meter-tall dimensional fire pillar rose from the ground and engulfed Drake. Everyone could only see a figure struggling and melting in the flames.
The captain of the Blackstone Guards, Drake, died in battle.
After dealing with Pfitzman and Drake, Skorch immediately turned around. Nur Chief Justice Theodore Bruckner took a deep breath. He threw away his broken lance and drew his longsword — Calamity of the Liar.
Frey Derick couldn't die here. Absolutely not.
Chief Judge Nur glanced at the Calamity Lord before him and at the battlefield where the fierce battle was taking place. His dark skin reflected the sunlight. He squinted his eyes and rode his Gryphon Reaper to block Skorge's path.
I'll be your opponent.
Seeing this, the Scourge Lord threw Pfitzman's body to the ground. He looked at the Chief Justice Nur with his ferocious eyes.
The Calamity Lord unsheathed the Blade of Misfortune and held the halberd with both hands. The weapon danced in the hands of the Scourge Lord like a dazzling halo. From afar, the Scourge Lord shrouded himself in light and shadow. The power of the Horned Rat God surged and grew stronger around him.
The Chief Justice Nur took a deep breath and defended himself steadily. Then, with a low cry, he raised his sword and caught the Blade of Misfortune. The moment the two sides clashed, the Calamity of the Liar spun in the air like a windmill.
Frey Derick, who had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't say a word.
He knew that the Chief Justice Nur, the guardian of Nur, Theodore Bruckner, was protecting him with his life.
But he couldn't do anything. Frey Derick hated his helplessness.
Noelle was commanding the army at the front. She was dueling with Chuancuo and couldn't spare any energy.
Alissanda didn't have Yisha's blessing and her strength was greatly reduced. She would die if she went up.
If only I could be like my father and kill Great Demons like slaughtering chickens.
If only I could be like my father, I could be an army by myself.
If only I could be like Godfather …
Frey Derick suddenly realized that he couldn't do anything. The Baron began to chant an incantation.
Even though Theodore Bruckner was incomparably brave and resolute, even though he didn't care about his life and used the craziest and most ferocious moves, the Chief Justice Nur was still no match for the Scourge Lord. As time passed, Theodore Bruckner only felt his body grow heavier and heavier. Even a casual movement he normally made was as heavy as a thousand pounds. The wounds on his body kept increasing and blood kept splattering on the battlefield. But he still fought to the death and didn't give up!
If he died like this, it wouldn't be a pity. In the bloody battle, the Chief Justice vaguely recalled some memories.
He once failed to protect the Kurfürst family.
He wouldn't make the same mistake again!
He still remembered the words Lady Nur said when she bestowed this sword and the title of Chief Justice Nur to him. "The justice and fairness of Nur is now in your hands, Bruckner."
From that day on, Bruckner swore that he would protect Nur with everything he had until the day he died.
The Blade of Misfortune left wounds on Bruckner's body, but the Chief Justice Nur still stood in front of Frey Derick. He was as furious as a lion, swearing to die and not giving up!
At this time, the Scourge Lord Skorch's expression became anxious. While he fought with Bruckner, he occasionally glanced at Frey Derick who was chanting an incantation. Skorch could feel that his time was quickly passing!
That's right, Frey Derick was stealing the Supreme Scourge Lord's time!
Normally, when the Gray Prophet summoned the Supreme Scourge Lord to the mortal world, he wouldn't exist for more than three minutes, and when the time reached the last minute, the Supreme Scourge Lord's power would slowly weaken.
Even if the Great Guardian and the Great Maelstrom were severely weakened, Skorch wouldn't be able to appear for more than ten minutes at full power. However, while he was fighting with Bruckner, Frey Derick was rapidly absorbing the surrounding subspace energy into his body. The time Skorch could stay in the mortal world was rapidly decreasing. The Supreme Scourge Lord could even feel the continuous -1 s on his forehead. His time was being sucked away by two times!
The Supreme Scourge Lord became even more furious. He raised the Blade of Misfortune and attacked again.
The sharp blade pierced through Bruckner's breastplate. Blood flowed down Bruckner's black armor and dyed the front of the griffin red. The injuries he suffered were extremely severe!
Skorch's body was also covered in wounds. The Supreme Scourge Lord was unable to unleash his most ferocious power.
He didn't have much time left.
A minute later, after the twelfth clash, the Nur Lord Judge who had hundreds of wounds on his body knelt on one knee. He swore that he wouldn't retreat even if he died. He raised his head and roared, "Scum, come and die!"
His loud roar resounded through the towering mountains. His roar reverberated through the battlefield. Everyone was moved.
After that, Theodore Bruckner didn't say anything else. He knelt on one knee and stopped moving. His dark brown hair slid down his cheeks and covered his face.
His mount, the largest griffin in the Empire, Reaper, had died in battle.
"Time's up." The Supreme Scourge Lord who was also covered in blood looked at Frey Derick regretfully. Skorch sighed. "You won't be so lucky next time, brat."
If the fight continued, this human would definitely charge at him again at all costs.
Skorch glanced at Chuan Kuiro who was still fighting with Noel. "Little Chuan, you …"
He disappeared into the shadows.
"Take … the baron … away." Seeing that the Supreme Scourge Lord Judge had finally disappeared, the Nur Lord Judge's low voice came from behind his hair.
The blood on his body was like a small stream, seeping out from the hundreds of wounds on the Chief Judge's body. It flowed down his black plate armor and dripped to the ground. However, his back was still as smooth as black jade. There was not a trace of a wound on his back, nor a trace of a retreating injury.
The two-meter-tall man, who looked like an iron tower, knelt there and didn't move anymore.
"Theodore, Theodore!" Frey Derick sounded like he was about to cry. The baron ran to the Chief Judge and shouted, "Quick, get him treated!"
"…"
"Don't be stubborn, Theodore. Think of your wife, your son, and your mother. Nur needs you. The Empire needs you. Get up. You've lost a lot of blood. You need treatment!" Frey Derick cursed.
"…"
"You bastard! The gods curse you, Charlemagne curse you! " Frey Derick's vision began to blur out of frustration. "As the Baron of Nur and the commander-in-chief of Nur City, I order you to reply!"
The strong body of the Nur Justice was as motionless as a monument.
"He's dead. Frey, he's dead." Alissanda came to Frey Derick's side and knelt down gently, paying her respects to the Chief Judge of Nur.
This was the highest form of etiquette among the high elves.
Frey Derick gasped for air as the baron slowly got up from the ground and looked towards the battlefield.
In the distance, the Land Cruisers and Sequoia Army had joined the battle. The Skaven Ratmen finally collapsed. The Tempest Ratmen of the Council of Thirteen were still trying to salvage the situation, but the terrifying firepower from the Land Cruisers tore them to pieces. The Ratmen bombarded the steam tanks and created sparks, showing the Nur what true speed of fire was.
Following that, Gert's Sequoia Army showed the Ratling what it meant to be invincible. The Gold Magi summoned their Gold Cloaks and Iron Armour to block the Ratling's advance.
The last Pit Abomination was released. The Great Alchemist calmly pointed the Staff of Volan at the Pit Abomination until the entire body of the beast was covered in gold.
Kwandro ordered a retreat. His mount, Skeletal Hand, had one of its arms chopped off by Noel. Their leader, the Gray Prophet, severed his arm and escaped under the cover of a large group of Tempest Rats.
The Borni region was now a hellish scene. The Nur people were exhausted and unable to chase after them. They began to slaughter the Ratmen who could not escape and had lost their ability to fight due to their bloated stomachs.
Many of the Ratmen begged for mercy before they died. They also shouted strange things like "The Ratmen are going to reopen" and "This time, we're going to reopen Ossouin".
Frederick then turned his gaze towards the Wesson River and the wilderness in the outskirts of Nur City, as well as the chief judge who was as silent as a tower.
Invincible Nur Guardian, my Chief Judge Theodore, you have fallen. Nur is saved.
There was also Captain Pfitzman and Captain Drake …
The young Baron looked at the 50000 soldiers who were cheering for victory on the battlefield. He looked at the Wesson River that flowed endlessly. He looked at the magnificent walls of Nur in the distance. He looked at the sun that was hanging in the middle of the sky and burning fiercely.
The cities of the Empire, the Emperors of the Empire, the vast and endless wilderness of the Empire, the people of the Empire and its victories. The power of the Empire was drawn and carried forward from here.
Such a beautiful Empire, such a beautiful world, would never be destroyed!
Frey Derick clenched his fist. This was not the end. This was only the beginning.
The past would be washed away.
A new era was coming.
A powerful glow enveloped Frey Derick's body. On this day, the Baron officially became a Legendary.
The Battle of Borny came to an end. Under the command of Frey Derick, the Nur army defeated the Skaven Ratmen at the cost of about 9,000 dead and 10000 injured. The Skaven Ratmen lost more than 120,000 Ratmen. Khuiluo could only gather the defeated troops and retreat south to the Black Mountains.
On the way back to Nur, the great alchemist Balshaz Gelt, who was holding the Staff of Volan, said to Frey Derick, Noel, and Alisala, "The Battle of Nur has come to an end."
"And the battle to protect the old world has only just begun."
