Esgania, the Valley of the End.
Woo woo woo——
The storm winds from the wasteland blew across the huge canyon, carrying with them the smell of corrosion and decay.
The armored man stood beside the military camp at the entrance of the canyon. His extremely dark armor seemed to swallow up the light.
If someone saw the man's face clearly, they would be shocked and horrified.
Vortigern.
A despicable king who usurped the throne and plunged Esgania into the quagmire of war.
According to the information fed back by the scouts of the Knights Alliance, Vortigern should have been stationed in the capital of Esgania, but at this moment, he appeared on the battlefield in the border wilderness.
Snap——
...
...
The sound of dead leaves being crushed came from the side.
This was a gentleman who was dressed elegantly and looked quite calm and graceful. The only difference was the paleness on his face, which made him look unhuman and revealed his identity as a vampire.
Moreover, from the fact that he could appear beside Vortigern without any ripples on his face, it could be seen that his status in the blood clan was definitely not low.
A blood prince of legendary rank.
"Flanders, what's going on with the Dawn Church?"
Vortigern spoke coldly without even turning his head.
"It's the same as always. The cardinal's mental power is always locked inside the palace. He obviously still believes that His Majesty is still in the palace."
"After all, he is just an ordinary cardinal. Even his breakthrough to the legendary level was due to the blessing of the God of Dawn."
"A low-quality legend that relies on external forces to break through will be confined to this for the rest of his life. He couldn't even see that Your Majesty had split off half of his body with legendary combat power right under his nose."
The blood prince Flanders let out an icy laugh.
Since ancient times, the vampires and the Church have been in an irreconcilable feud. In the heresy hunting rankings of the Dawn Church, the vampires have always firmly occupied the top spot.
Therefore, Fred naturally disliked the cardinal.
"Speaking of which, a mere coalition of rebellious princes... I didn't expect that His Majesty would take it so seriously."
There was a hint of contempt in Flanders' words.
"A rebel leader who is not even a legend yet and has just gathered a group of supporters with the help of a so-called sword of the king-chooser, actually dares to call himself the "Knight King". ”
"How ridiculous."
In the legendary circle, being crowned king is a privilege that transcends the boundaries of the throne.
“Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit.”
There was no contempt in the words of Vortigern, who was wearing black armor.
Although it was only half a body, the pressure released invisibly by this despicable king was no less than that of a legendary blood prince.
"According to the feedback this land has given me... Artorius, who calls himself the Knight King, is the one who truly has the ability to threaten my current dominance."
"Also, the holy sword he obtained from the lake was also very unusual."
"Of course, what I care more about is Akatsuki and the black knight Cain. ”
When he said this, a hint of solemnity finally appeared in Futigeng's dark and withered eyes.
Although he usurped the throne in a despicable way, no matter what, when he became the king, he still gained the authority and protection of this land, and could also obtain some information that was difficult for outsiders to collect.
Although the Knight King was powerful, the origin of the holy sword and the huge mystery hidden in it made Vortigern secretly frightened.
But that was ultimately just personal bravery. As the king of this land, he had the confidence to suppress all foreign enemies.
What is truly terrifying is the human heart.
This is the philosophy conveyed by the organization called "Akatsuki".
The rebels would collapse as long as they killed their leader, but if the ideals of the Akatsuki organization still existed, then even if they suppressed a rebellion...
Even without the Knight King, there will still be the Conqueror King, the Hero King...
As long as the ideals of the Akatsuki organization exist, the flames of rebellion will never die out on the land of Esgania.
"Remember, the most important targets of this encirclement are Artorius and Cain. The other great knights, princes and nobles, and the common people can all be ignored."
"I will take care of Artorius, and I will leave Cain to you, Flanders."
"I hope the prince of the blood clan will not let me down."
Vortigern's calm words rang out.
He was even prepared to give up killing Artorius and personally kill Cain if Flanders couldn't solve the problem.
The importance of the other party is really too high.
As long as he is not dead, he will never be at peace.
"Cain is just a small fourth or fifth ring... not even at the title level."
"If I do it myself, there will be no chance for him to survive."
Fred looked at Vortigern with some confusion, totally not understanding why the other party cared so much about Cain.
However, Vortigern's strength and identity were all in front of him, so he said no more.
"Since I have chosen to cooperate, I will naturally go all out."
"Just hope..."
"When the matter is accomplished, Your Majesty will be able to keep his promise and help us search for the escaped True Ancestor "Kurohime"..."
"That is not only my personal opinion, but also the opinion of our blood race's ancestor, Vermillion Moon."
"certainly."
Vortigern glanced at Flanders beside him.
In today's chaotic Western Continent, there are countless religious sects of all kinds.
Fred, who is a prince of the blood clan, also has a corresponding background.
"Scarlet Moon"
He is not a demigod, but an ancient god with the same status as the true God.
If not for this, with Flanders's legendary strength, he would not be qualified to negotiate terms on an equal footing with him.
He looked up at the dark sky.
"It will be completely dark in two hours. We will then go directly to the Valley of the End, break in from behind, and launch a siege..."
"I originally thought that King Futigeng was a manic and brainless tyrant... I didn't expect him to be quite smart."
"With the status of a blood prince, he should be able to withstand ordinary sunlight other than noontime... But in order to avoid weakening his combat power, he chose to attack after nightfall."
"But it is also true that a lowly king who is able to usurp the throne would definitely have some cunning and schemes."
"If that fool Gawain had really come with me, he would probably be lying dead on the spot now."
Suddenly, a vague and hazy voice sounded, echoing throughout the empty and silent Valley of the End.
Vortigern and Flanders looked up suddenly.
All I saw was a figure wearing a black Akatsuki robe with red clouds, and a whirlpool mask on his head, with only a pair of eyes showing.
It stands silently high up in the Valley of the End, bathing in the dim night.
Like a dark demon.
The soldiers in the barracks behind him exclaimed, and everyone recognized the black-haired figure.
Founder of Xiao.
Black Knight - Cain.
Char stood on a high place, his Akatsuki robe rustling behind him as the storm blew through the canyon, overlooking the ant-sized figures below.
"One, two... Oh my god, there are actually multiple levels of Lord-level Abyss Abnormalities hidden in the military camp. When combined, they are a legendary force."
"You guys really think highly of me by sending out three legendary warriors at once."
Vortigern's half-body looked calm and composed: "Cain."
"Even though the divination and prophecy abilities were concealed, was there still a leak somewhere?"
He looked around him but found nothing.
"Did Artorius prepare an ambush here?"
"An ancient holy relic? A divine descent ritual? Or an anti-military formation?"
Vortigern listed them one by one, but he did not feel nervous at all.
Although this is only half of a body condensed from a holy relic, its rank is truly legendary. Ordinary traps and calculations cannot pose any threat to him at all.
However, in response to Vortigern's questioning, the black-robed figure above the valley just shook his head slightly.
"Ambush? Why do you think I would bring such a burden with me?" A hint of coldness flashed through the holes in the vortex mask.
"I came alone."
"But only one person is enough."
boom--
Dark magic power suddenly surged.
Although he bears the title of king, Futigeng's actions are as unethical as his title of a humble king who usurped the throne.
In an instant, the dark magic power that swallowed up the light enveloped Char's entire body.
The rocks where they stood collapsed and turned into countless pieces of earth and rocks that fell in all directions.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers stationed in the barracks began to flee in all directions.
This was an order issued by Vortigern himself... He knew that the Black Knight Cain had a special ability with explosives, and in past wars he would often send himself into the center of the army, then directly blow up a large number of people, while being able to escape safely.
The power of that explosion poses no threat to the legend, but it is a powerful weapon for killing small soldiers and small fry.
If Cain really seizes the opportunity and attacks the army in the camp, the soldiers will suffer heavy losses.
However, the next moment.
Even though the earth and rocks beneath his feet were shattered at the same moment, Char's figure flashed at a rapid speed.
Then, he stood again on a cliff pillar that was still unbroken.
He stood on the stone pillar, looking down indifferently at the fleeing soldiers and the coalition of monsters below.
"Can you get away?"
Almost at the same moment the words came out.
A pale golden glow spread along the ground.
It was a golden barrier, and the pressure like royal power instantly enveloped the hearts of every soldier, making them feel as if they were covered by a huge weight.
Futigeng snorted coldly.
The next moment, the spreading golden barrier suddenly shattered under the pressure of the legend.
However, it was at this moment that was delayed by the royal domain.
Thousands of piercing screams rang out at the same moment.
One golden door after another shone brightly in the soft night sky behind Char.
That is a door involving the laws of space. Behind the golden door is the secondary dimension created by the shining "space pocket".
Immediately following.
The silver light condensed.
Thousands of blue silver particles are analyzed and created in the atmosphere.
Then, based on Yui's intelligence...
Under the effect of the scarlet "Sword Bone", countless free metal particles were transformed into metal swords.
It was like thousands of bright silver meteor showers, shooting out into the night sky through the golden door.
Puff——
Puff——
That was the sound of countless flesh and blood being pierced.
There were clearly thousands of swords shooting out at the same time, but under the intelligent guidance provided by Yui, each one hit the target's vital position without any deviation.
Either the back or the neck.
The sound of bodies falling to the ground could be heard.
Under the silver sword rain, almost all the soldiers and abyss monsters below level five in the military camp were killed instantly.
Corpses were everywhere.
"interesting."
Vortigern's voice sounded faintly.
He was not furious because of the death of his soldiers. He just looked at Char and said, "From my perception, the total amount of magic power in you is not that much. It is only at the level of five or six rings."
"However, with the combination of various unique abilities, you can perform at a level far beyond that of the strong men of your same level."
"What is this spatial ability called?"
"You can call it - Infinite Sword System."
Char still stood on the towering stone pillar and answered indifferently.
This is a new combination technique created by combining Shining's "Space Pocket", Scarlet's "Sword Bone", and Yui's "Metal Creation".
However, an accident occurred when naming the combo.
Red prefers the name "Unlimited Blade Works", while Shining insists on "The King's Treasure".
So the final choice fell on Yui.
Relying on the friendship between the two fake sisters, "Infinite Blade Works" finally won.
…
Hundreds of miles away, the city of the rebel coalition.
In the lord's mansion, Isadella slowly opened her eyes, and the holy sword in her hand emitted a dazzling light.
She felt that in this space and time, her compatibility with the holy sword had improved a little bit.
The shackles that had originally bound her also disappeared, allowing Isadella to now exert all her strength in reality in this special time and space.
"Fortunately, we made it in time."
Feeling the still peaceful city, Isadella couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the encirclement and suppression has not yet begun.
As a queen, she should not be indecisive, let alone allow her personal feelings to affect her decisions on the overall situation.
However, that was not a reason for her to watch Cain die.
And now, with the shackles that restricted her strength being removed, it also meant that she truly possessed a fighting power comparable to that of a legend.
Even if there are legends among the troops sent by Vortigern to encircle and suppress the enemy, Isadella is confident of winning the battle.
There is no need to break out like a stray dog, but to face the enemy head-on.
So...
Cain, he wouldn't have to die...
Such a thought just arose.
The next moment, Isadella heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching rapidly from a distance.
"king."
"His Majesty Cain has vanished from his dwelling."
The soldier knelt on one knee and spoke rapidly.
"A patrolling knight saw him break out to the west, in the direction of the encirclement army, but His Majesty Cain was too fast, and no one could stop him."
boom--
The pressure that erupted in that instant frightened everyone in the lord's mansion.
"Sir Tristan."
There was a hint of confusion in those stern words.
"I understand."
The red-haired knight, who had been waiting for a long time, plucked his organ and quickly activated his ability.
He is a beastmaster who specializes in perception and detection, and the holy relic that looks like an organ is his contracted pet.
The next moment.
Along with the pleasant sound of the organ, a picture like a water curtain slowly condensed and took shape in the void.
What appeared on the screen was a black-armored man with a legendary aura, and a pale-faced blood prince...
In the rear were countless dead soldiers and monsters.
On the other side, there was a thin figure wearing a black robe with red clouds and a vortex mask on his head.
Black hair and black eyes, with his back turned to everyone.
He is alone, yet he seems to be leading an army of thousands.
