Chapter 468: Bright Slate, Wrongly Making an Oath Will Bring Disaster

Once the Great Wall of Neverwinter falls, the vast plains of the Kingdom of Northshire will face the iron hooves of the orcs, and when the orcs' troops advance into the heart of the northern border, Morningfrost Ridge will also be threatened.

Therefore, Ye Zhi made a plan to reinforce the Great Wall of Neverwinter and contacted his demon hunters who were responsible for collecting intelligence.

The white-haired demon hunter Jello happened to be active in the North a few days ago. After receiving Ye Zhi's order, he rushed to the front line to investigate secretly.

Jello is an unruly person. He has traveled to many regions and mastered several languages. His knowledge of Orcish also gives him a natural advantage in gathering intelligence.

Just two days later, Ye Zhi was reading the battle report in Jiandong Castle when he received a message from Jello.

"The orcs' massive invasion of the Kingdom of Northshire is not just related to food shortages."

Jello said succinctly: "I kidnapped the chief of a small tribe and gave him some strong medicine. According to the information he revealed, the current orc king Erhantar intends to create a huge orc empire that unites all orc tribes. Even small tribes in remote areas have been recruited by him."

"The purpose of attacking Neverwinter Wall is to establish prestige, conquer and plunder, and eliminate dissidents," Jello said. "The orcs who have been pushed to the front line of the siege in the past two months are all opponents of the Golden King Erhantar. His elite troops have not yet been dispatched, and even he himself has not shown up yet."

No wonder the Holy Land has been unable to capture the Wall of Neverwinter despite its personal expedition... Ye Zhi thought to himself... when the Kingdom of Northshire gradually gains strength and deploys heavy troops to the front, the Orc King will win with a thunderous momentum. By then, both his personal prestige and his ambition to unify the country will be at their peak.

And Erhantal seemed to have another purpose, which was to find out the strength of the North County Kingdom. After all, he didn't know whether the North County Kingdom had a holy land, so he adopted the strategy of playing the long game to catch the big fish.

Ye Zhi stroked his chin, thinking about the high-end combat power of North County in the original work... The dean of the Oslo National Arcane Academy was one of the seven councilors of mages, with the peak level of the sixth ring. In the cutscene, he was killed by Erhantal in one blow and became a stepping stone for combat power.

During the orc invasion, the troll general Ogg was dissatisfied with Erhantar's brutal rule, so he went deep into the heart of the Kingdom of Beasts and joined other tribes to launch a resistance movement called "Freedom Horn". Although the movement was effective, it was eventually suppressed.

Finally, the descendant of the Red-haired King, Hildurde, head-on defeated the 'Golden King' Erhantal and became a hero of Northshire. She refused the throne voluntarily abdicated by King 'Iron Bones' Harrager and chose to inherit Brunhild's identity as the "Guardian of the North".

However, the current world line has changed significantly compared to the original.

There is no need for Hildreth to help this time, you can go alone.

"The Orc Empire is not monolithic either." Jello paused for a moment and said, "But this Erhantar is ruthless and strives for unification. And there are rumors that he has been blessed by the Lord of Plunder and has the unique form of an eight-armed soldier."

The Lord of Plunder and the Black Knight are old enemies, both are subordinate gods of the God of War, and the former's faith is widely spread among the Orc tribes.

This subordinate god is a notorious traitor who takes pleasure in instigating wars between the various races. As the day of apocalypse is approaching, Yeats suspects that His coming may be inseparable from the Knight of War.

"Understood. Continue to wait for orders at the front line. I will arrive in two days."

"Yes, sir!"

After cutting off the communication with Jello, Ye Zhi had an idea and summoned a snowy owl from the magical pet plane.

The snowy owl spread its spotted wings and flew to the aviary in the lord's hall. It looked at Yeats with its yellow eyes and tilted its head.

"Gu?"

I'm meditating, any instructions?

This guy really never misses any opportunity to learn.

My snowy owl is too self-disciplined! Ye Zhi said: "Please teleport me to Roland Palace, Snow Owl."

"This can also be considered as space magic training." Ye Zhi gave the correct password.

Snow Owl's eyes lit up and he immediately recited a spell. The spatial fluctuations continued to flow, forming a dazzling blue light that enveloped Ye Zhi and the snowy owl.

When he opened his eyes again, the magnificent and luxurious Roland Palace appeared before his eyes.

The colonnade and corridor led to the garden, and the guard on duty was staring at Yeats with shock on his face.

In broad daylight, an uninvited guest was suddenly teleported into the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, and even the court wizard was unaware!

The guard's throat tightened and he immediately issued a message:

"Come, come! There are thorns..."

The communication was cut off by the Snow Owl's forbidden magic field before it was sent out.

At the same time, Yeats took out the Honeysuckle family crest and said calmly: "Don't panic, and don't alarm others. I am Yeats Brondi. Report to the Sun King immediately and claim to be the Duke of Honeysuckle."

The name of the Duke of Honeysuckle was well known. The fear in the guard's eyes was replaced by realization and awe. He immediately knelt on one knee, performed the knight's salute, and said respectfully:

"Greetings, Lord Yeats Browndi! Please wait a moment, I will report to His Majesty!"

The Imperial Palace.

A week has passed since the incident in the bottomless pit.

The locust plague gradually subsided, and Yeats, who repelled the Plague Knights over the fortress that day, left a very deep impression on the soldiers defending the city, including Louis.

In the hall, Louis put down the battle report, picked up a cup of hot tea, and said in a deep voice: "Is there any news about the Duke of Honeysuckle?"

Violet shook her head. "The bottomless pit is extremely dangerous. Even the Dragon Eagle King cannot go deep into the ground. We can only speculate that the Duke has probably successfully killed the Plague Knight and escaped from the pit by some means."

The malaria that was raging in Roland's land has improved on a large scale, which can be attributed to Yeats's killing of the Plague Knight.

Louis' eyes flickered slightly. As proud as he was, he had to admit that he was saved by Ye Zhi. He sighed softly, "Tell me as soon as you have any news about him."

"yes!"

At this time, an urgent call came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Honeysuckle requests an audience!"

Violet was stunned. She was surprised to see that the Sun King, who was as arrogant as Icarus, quickly stood up, a sincere smile bloomed on his face, and he nodded happily: "Please come in!"

It was particularly exciting to meet old friends again.

But when Yeats really showed up, the Sun King resumed his proud and reserved attitude, nodded and said, "Please take a seat!"

Yeats bowed briefly by pressing his chest, and after sitting down, he told the Sun King about his experience in the bottomless pit. He said that he had arrived in another dimension and solved the Plague Knight with the help of the power of a certain god. It was not until recently that he returned to the material world and was able to meet King Roland.

Louis did not ask about the specific details, and said thoughtfully: "According to the prophecy, the long summer is coming and famine is inevitable... This is probably the work of the Famine Knight. Yeats, do you have any good suggestions?"

Louis raised his eyes and cast a hopeful look at Yeats.

Ye Zhi nodded: "There is indeed a plan, but..."

"But what? As long as you ask, I will definitely help you!" Louis guaranteed.

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "However, you must first fulfill your promise and hand over the stone tablet of the God of Light to me!"

Louis was stunned for a moment, then said frankly: "Of course, just follow me!"

Roland's Treasury, located beneath the Imperial Palace, is set up with layers of barriers.

Yeats followed Louis all the way without any hindrance, and finally saw him stop in front of a heavy stone door.

He cut his fingertips with a dagger and placed his hand on the stone door. The blood outlined a small rune along the lines. With a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly rose.

At the end of the secret room, there is a stone platform, on which stands a golden cabinet.

Ka——

The golden cabinet opened, and golden light shone from the gaps. A warm and bright divinity suddenly surged in the secret room.

Ye Zhi's heart was shocked. This was undoubtedly the genuine divinity of light! There was only a plain-looking slab of stone in the cabinet.

Louis signaled Yeats with his eyes, asking him to go forward and get it.

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, and the moment he reached out and touched the stone slab, a layer of golden ripples suddenly spread out in his soul realm, and the light divinity in the stone slab rushed into Ye Zhi's body frantically! Seeing this, Louis' eyes flashed with a hint of relief and a hint of loneliness.

After he obtained the Slate of Light, he discovered that the divine power of light on the slate was extremely strong, but he was unable to activate it at all, so he sealed it deep in the treasury.

In order to obtain the power inherited from the God of Light, Louis tried countless methods, but none of them worked in the end.

After all...I am not the god of light who saves the world.

Louis's eyes were complicated, his arrogance was replaced by relief, and he stared at Yeats's back shrouded in light.

This inheritance should belong to Yeats! After a long while, Ye Zhi calmed down the surging light divinity in the stone slab and adjusted his breathing. He felt a greater enlightenment in his heart and mastered a new light spell in an instant.

[If you make a false oath, disaster is imminent].

Louis' voice sounded at the right time:

"You must have heard of the legend of the Ten Covenants between God and mankind. This legend contains a law: [Oath]."

"According to my research over the years, the God of Light, who is expected to become the new God King, also masters this law."

"If you make a false oath, disaster is imminent. This is one of the three prophecies engraved on the Temple of Delphi, which contains an authority of the God of Light: oath."

"If the person who signed the oath with you violates it, he will be attacked by the power of the Law of Oath—"

Louis paused for a moment, his eyes serious.

"To put it simply, it's divine punishment!"

Yeats was shocked.

The consequences of abandoning the Ten Covenants are clearly stated in the scriptures: that is, destruction by divine punishment such as thunder, heavenly fire, and floods.

And the inheritance that he has obtained now also has the power to trigger [Divine Punishment]!

"And when you follow your oath and fight for your oath, all the light in this world will be at your disposal," Louis explained.

The alliance agreement that Ye Zhi had signed with Mammon before was only a verbal agreement, and there was no guarantee that the devil of hell would not have any ulterior motives.

However, with the inheritance of [Making a false oath will bring disaster], you can ensure that others will not betray their promises to you! There are too many people in the world who go back on their words. This inheritance has a wide range of applications and can also enhance one's own abilities, so it is very practical.

Ye Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "If I break my own oath, will the oath law still work to punish me?"

"No." Louis said.

"Hmm?" Ye Zhi was a little surprised. "Why doesn't it work on me?"

"You are the ruler of the Law of Oath. How can the Law of Oath apply to you?" Louis asked back.

Yeats was thoughtful.

Perhaps... this is the legendary power of double standards?

The Slate of Light and the spell [Misfortune befalls those who swear unjustly] can be fully applied in the battle with the 'Golden King' Erhantar, and even with the Lord of Plunder.

Under the witness of the Slate of Light.

Yeats and Lewis signed an oath on the spot, agreeing to be allies in fighting against the apocalypse.

Louis had long been at war with the Vatican, and now he had been excommunicated by the Pope, hating the Vatican to the core. He shared Yeats's views, and therefore had no hesitation in signing the alliance oath.

And in Yeats's view, with a Saint like Louis as an ally, he and the Roland Kingdom can also share their pressure in fighting against the Divine Court Empire and the Holy See on the Eastern Front.

Out of trust in his ally, Yeats revealed his next itinerary to Louis, saying that he planned to support the Kingdom of Northshire and go to the Wall of Neverwinter to kill the orc king Erhantar.

Louis pondered for a moment, agreed with Ye Zhi's plan, and nodded: "Indeed, if the orc king is allowed to unify the entire orc tribe, the orcs will become an extremely terrifying force... Killing him before he sits firmly on the throne is indeed the best strategy."

"However, if the rumors are true, Erhantar is likely to be a pawn of the Lord of Plunder. If you make an enemy of him, you may incur the wrath of the Lord of Plunder." Louis paused for a moment, "Do you need my help? I can go with you personally."

"Lord of Plunder? Do you think he dares to come down to earth?"

Ye Zhi sneered and said, "I'll be waiting in the North. If he dares to come, I'll pluck off all his 100 arms!"

It is true that the Lord of Plunder is an Eight-ring True God, but Ye Zhi is certain that He would not dare to fight to the death with him. The reason is that in the eyes of the other party, how could an elephant fight to the death with an ant? In short, the Lord of Plunder could not exert 100% of his strength against himself, and he had the powerful blessing of [Death by Law] which was effective even against true gods.

Even if the Lord of Plunder really came down to earth, it would be easy to defeat him, let alone kill him directly! Hearing what Yeats said, Louis was slightly stunned and thought to himself, you are even crazier than me? No matter how bad the Lord of Plunder is, he is still a true god, an existence that the Sanctuary needs to look up to...

Of course, maybe Yeats really had a trump card, and that's how the Plague Knight fell into his hands.

Louis said: "Then do as you say... I will continue to track down the clues of the Famine Knights, and you will support North County... Remember to fight quickly and decisively to prevent the Vatican from interfering!"

Lewis's words reminded Yeats.

Although Ye Zhi was confident that he could repel the Lord of Plunder, there was no guarantee that the Knight of War was not behind this, so he still had to be more cautious.

"The plan remains unchanged. Let's go see the teacher first."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "Bringing my teacher to besiege a true god, just treat it as a date..."
