Louis and Gino watched Kulin disappear from the teleportation array for a long time, and Gino said:

"What a pity, I exposed my strength but failed to kill him."

Whenever Kino thought of this incident, he felt furious.

Even he, a traitor, had never thought of taking away his master's skills. He had always been careful to protect his master's self-esteem, but now it was trampled upon by a damn thing.

"Your Highness, how long do you think it will take us to kill that guy?"

Louis shook his head and said, "He won't come out for a while. He was lucky to survive after being hit by me. I guess he will hide in a corner and lick his wounds like a wounded beast."

Kino sneered: "That's a shame."

Louis nodded. "His super-speed regeneration should have a limit. I feel the power of Sin and Rage in his body. I guessed correctly that he should be consuming the power of the King of Rage to maintain his own state."

"That is to say..." Kino's eyes lit up.

"Well, he took my nuclear explosion. How could he escape unscathed? He has already lost most of the power he accumulated from the Wrathful King."

Jinuo smacked his lips and finally said speechlessly: "Your strength is becoming more and more terrifying now."

Louis smiled and said, “Isn’t their strength scary? Aren’t they all your disciples?”

Jinuo clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Indeed, from now on I will tell everyone that I have trained a good apprentice."

Louis said: "Please don't do this, it's shameful."

I was so ashamed that I wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with my toes.

"In this case, we must take action ahead of time." Jinuo said coldly, "The great sin of jealousy definitely did not attack us for no reason. It seems that our preparations have frightened some people."

Louis spread his hands and said nothing.

The bad things that the Abyss Church has done in recent years have caused fear in many countries.

They were quiet for a while in the early years, and everyone lived a peaceful time, and for a while they somewhat forgot about the church.

But now they have provoked all three major human kingdoms.

They were also involved in the madness of the Sapphire Dragon King of the Dragon Empire.

Not to mention the East and West Monai Kingdoms. Louis heard that the only few chances for the two countries to reunite and establish a country in their early years were ruined by the Abyss Church.

The originally designated heir of the Hidden Forest was "accidentally" exiled by the dwarves of Forge Fort while being teleported to Forge Fort. Eventually, the elven prince was caught in a space storm and lost contact forever.

The Tzeentch faction of the Church of the Abyss was involved in this matter. Because of that incident, the Hidden Forest almost reopened the war with the Crucible. In the end, it was the church that intervened and barely stopped the conflict from breaking out.

As a land of merchants, the Empire of Amn places more emphasis on profits, but that doesn't mean they are without temper.

A few days ago, Louis contacted Mr. ONE of the O5 Council, wanting to temporarily rent some of the Iron Heart Flow Death Swords from the Nine Ancient Swords.

Mr. ONE did not agree immediately, but instead told Louis some information that he had not known before.

…2 days ago…

Louis: "You said that there are unknown forces behind the Dragon Bone Grassland incident?"

Mr. ONE: "It is basically certain that someone in our group has been corrupted by the Tzeentch faction. Although we have already paid the corresponding price for this matter, we still want to mention it to you."

Louis: "This matter has come to an end. The Empire has received appropriate compensation. Mr. ONE has nothing to worry about."

Mr. ONE: "No, no, no, that's not what I want to say. Getting the empire's forgiveness is different from getting personal forgiveness. After all, weren't you also involved in this incident and encountered danger?"

Louis: "...I understand your thoughts, so you want to stand on our side?"

Mr. ONE: "Don't say that. Fighting evil is everyone's responsibility. We just want to invest in the people we think are good while maintaining order."

Louis: "This is something we have done internally and planned together. How can you just come in?"

Mr. ONE: “What do you want?”

Louis: "It's going to cost extra... I mean, I heard that Mr. ONE has a lot of cooperation with the Dwarf King of Crucible?"

Mr. ONE: "Do you want the Dwarf King to help you make weapons? Or do you want me to pass on a message and get some equipment from the Dwarf King?"

Louis: "I heard that the Dwarf King's treasure house contains the Stone Dragon Stream's Nine Ancient Swords, the Breaking Sword, which is the same as the Death Sword in your hand. I would like to borrow it to have a look."

…

In short, with the help of Mr. ONE, Louis has ensured that he can borrow the Sword of Death, and there is a high probability that he can borrow the Sword of Breaking Binding. In this way, the progress of the Wanhua Sword Pill to reproduce the Nine Ancient Swords is close to completion.

Devoured/To be devoured: Mo Feng, Tian Xin, Gu Cheng

Reproduced: Xifeng, Yingmang, Xinchou

Ready to analyze and reproduce: Death Intention, Breaking the Binding

Missing: Tiger Tooth

Of course, Mr. ONE is not the kind of businessman who gives out benefits without thinking.

On the contrary, this action is mutually beneficial.

Not to mention that the Amn Empire originally had the simple idea of ​​"opening the door and free trade" to develop its strength and strengthen itself, but it was almost dragged into war because of the Church of the Abyss. They were also angry.

Take Mr. ONE’s statement, for example. It’s obvious that he’s trying to sell him off.

It seemed that in his opinion, instead of spending a huge price to meet the needs of the Enther Empire, it would be better to spend a small price to meet Louis' needs first.

Louis had to admit, this guy had a really sharp sense of smell.

From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, investing in him is indeed better than investing in Enser.

So he decisively accepted the good offer.

As for whether "Louis was really hurt in the Dragon Bone Prairie incident", it is not important. The key point is that both parties need a suitable platform for them to unite.

He looked at Teacher Jinuo and said, "Teacher Jinuo, it seems that some people don't want to be caught in the trap and want to delay our progress."

Jinuo shook his head and said, "You are wrong about one thing. The believers of the Abyss Church are not human beings. They are just a group of beasts."

Louis laughed and said, "That makes sense. The rats have grown a lot in the sewers over the years and they want to come out into the open. So let's have some fun with them."

Jinuo suddenly said, "The White Crow Legion's specially formed Bingzhong Army has been sent over."

Louis nodded: "Now it's time to test the effect of the Soldier's Grave Blessing on the army. Have you asked the mages to prepare the mechanized mind spell scroll?"

Jinuo nodded: "Of course, after all, this is the way to maximize the combat effectiveness."

Louis sighed and said, "What a pity! If Lord Kulin had not been injured, he would have been quite suitable to organize this battle."

Jinuo sighed, but quickly recovered and said, "It's nothing to regret. If you hadn't asked the master to bind the soldier's grave, we wouldn't have been able to detect that we were attacked. Then when you came over, I'm afraid I would have felt bad."

Louis looked deeply at Teacher Gino.

There was such a calm expression on his face when he said this.

But Louis thought it made sense.

In fact, Mr. Kino’s current strength is extremely strong.

Lord Kulin, as a sword master, has all the skills required to unleash the combat power of a top legend.

But Kulin's job level is only LV20.

Teacher Gino is different.

Perhaps it was because he had accumulated too much experience at level LV20, so not long after he broke through to level LV21, he naturally broke through to level LV22.

A paragon-level holy realm can unleash legendary power.

The power that a legendary saint can exert will directly soar to demigod.

Therefore, even if it was the great sin of jealousy, when he saw Teacher Kino, he was killed without any reason, and could only survive by relying on power.

Looking at Kino's increasingly calm expression, Louis suddenly felt pity for the group of Abyss Church Falling Star Sea branch members who were being besieged.

Teacher Kino went there this time to start a war at sea!

…

A few days later, after spending a night with Louis, Beatrice whispered in his ear, "Get ready. After we rest for a while, we will prepare to teleport to the border of Loxie."

Louis' warm fingers gently stroked the red marks on her neck and whispered:

"We have to hurry this time and not let them escape."

"Um."

On this day, various forces on the Star Continent deployed their troops and divided them into three groups to launch a siege against the followers of the evil god of the Falling Star Sea.

The main force of the human side gathered in the Stoke Territory on the border of the Fallen Star Sea of ​​the Rockhe Empire and marched northward.

The participating forces are——

One third of the First Legion of the Roshi Empire and one half of the Fourteenth Legion of the Roshi Empire.

Some members of the Enther Empire's Raven Guard (responsible for intelligence gathering) and the White Crow Legion's newly formed Bingzhong Army (responsible for assault).

There are more than 4,000 members of the Grand Duke Knights and the National Royal Knights of the Northern Republic of Tunisia.

The other two directions, one is the main force of the Dragon Empire, Forge Keep and part of the Amn Empire, which is responsible for setting up an encirclement from west to east.

On the other side are the main forces of the High Forest, the Hidden Forest, the Empire of Amn, and the East/West Monai Kingdoms, who are responsible for the longest stretch of coastline.

At this time, a group of soldiers gathered in the Stoke Territory of the Rockhi Empire.

Louis looked at the distribution of all parties, especially the encirclement of the elves, the Amn Empire and the East/West Monai Kingdoms, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

“Hope everything goes well over there.”

General Locke of the Lockhee Empire smiled and said, "Don't worry, the elves and necromancers are still very reliable."

General Locke looked at Louis deeply.

As early as when he led the attack on the Shadow Kingdom, he had a good communication with this imperial prince.

But at that time, his understanding of Louis was more based on status.

But now this prince actually possesses power comparable to that of the Sword Master. This is truly incredible considering how little time has passed.

Louis nodded and said, "Yes, the elves are good at long-distance observation. Many of them have the gift of clairvoyance. We rely on them to detect changes in the sea."

General Locke went on to say, "Not to mention the Necromancers. They have always been the representatives of human wave tactics. Giving them the longest coastline is a reasonable use of their power."

However, General Locke paused for a moment, subconsciously looked at Louis and said:

"The personnel you sent here may not be very professional."

Louis smiled as he poured a cup of tea for Beatrice, who was standing beside him, and said to General Locke, "There is no problem with their professional level and combat effectiveness."

General Locke sighed and said, "Of course there is no problem with this, but the problem is that I see that these professionals don't seem to be from the same team, right?"

Louis nodded: "You figured it out, they are the elite from various teams of the White Crow Legion."

General Locke had some thoughts in his mind, and there was a little more disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Louis.

It is true that the overall quality of the personnel sent by the Enser Empire this time is very high, but in legionary combat, simply having strong strength is useless.

In large-scale combat, mutual trust and tacit cooperation between soldiers can make 1+1+1>3.

According to General Locke's understanding, in the event of a head-on collision on the battlefield, he was confident that he could use a veteran legion of the same number but with weaker overall strength to defeat the newly formed Bingzhong Army of the White Crow Legion.

This shouldn't happen.

Is the Enther Empire crazy? If we want these people to be able to exert their proper fighting power, we need more time to hone them.

This was not the first time that Regent Beatrice led an army into battle, and many of her combat techniques are still circulated in some military academies.

Why would she allow Prince Louis to use such an ambitious operation to form a team that had hardly been closely trained in the battlefield? General Locke couldn't figure it out, so he chose not to think about it.

It's impossible that he was really bewitched by the succubus, right?

But he didn't notice that Louis and Beatrice were winking at each other and making eye contact.

No matter what General Locke thought, the encirclement and suppression began.

"The Mermaid Empire will dispatch troops to help us track down the evil god's followers under the sea, and we will handle the boarding battles and island battles on the sea."

At General Locke's command, various forces began to disperse to search for wandering ships on the Falling Star Sea.

The operation was carried out suddenly.

Many fishing boats and merchant ships were forced to stop for investigation by various forces before they understood what was going on.

Fortunately, the countries of these merchant ships and fishing boats all participated in this encirclement and suppression. After the investigation order was presented after boarding, everyone became much more honest and accepted the investigation directly.

However, to the surprise of some crew members, the investigators were arresting people in a targeted manner.

Some employees who appeared to have been working with the fleet for a long time were arrested directly after their appearance and names were confirmed.

"This...Annie has been working with us for more than ten years. How could she be a believer of the Abyss?"

"Fool, if the Abyss believers could be identified directly, they would have been nowhere to hide on the continent long ago."

“But they are arresting people…”

"Is it possible that they already have a list of most of the evil god's followers, and are now matching them up with the names?"

There was an uproar at the scene.

Old friends who have cooperated for many years.

A caravan owner known for his gentle manner.

Good old captain.

…

Batches of people were arrested.

Most of them are followers of evil gods who want to escape by relying on their official identities.

But those more crazy followers of the evil god will not take any chances.

Not long after, the first boarding battle broke out between the two sides.
