Lord's Log: "Your hero Malekith has crushed Remiel's Legions (countless): +troops, raiding and plundering Remiel's territory. You have gained: 1,530,000 gold, 4,600 High Elf Tier 1-4 weapons, 3,500 Tier 5-6 weapons and armor, 7 siege hammers, and 4 siege towers."
"Marekis shares his experience with you through the Black Ark."
"Marekis's massacre of civilians has incited hatred in the High Elf territory, reducing the High Elves' favorability towards Canaan by 30!"
Su Yue looked at the expression and couldn't help but chuckle.
"As expected of Malekith, I underestimated his strength. Such a small force actually managed to breach the territory of Remirlin?"
Lavana whispered to him, "My lord, Malekith has already entered Remiel's territory and is now launching a surprise attack on the forces of Ereda Genor that are providing support from afar!"
Su Yue had no intention of delaying the battle. Instead, he said, "Launch an attack on Qiwell immediately. Tyrone Rohr is dead. Now is the time to seize the High Elves' outlet to the sea. Once we take down the High Elves' outlet, the marine territory and trade resources of Remiel's domain will all be ours."
Gregory stood respectfully to the side, and the army immediately began a rapid march toward a location hundreds of kilometers away.
Looking at his newly acquired Tier 8 pet dragon, "Two-Headed Poison Dragon" Sebastian Clemens, Su Yue laughed and said, "Take me to see it first. I want to witness the entire process of this sneak attack and conquest."
"Yes, Master."
Sebastian Clemens' two-headed dragon head had recovered from all its injuries through Europa's divine healing magic, and Su Yue was actually looking forward to the arrival of night.
However, now that the chaotic battle in Qiweier City has already broken out, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire!
——————————————
Joanna exclaimed in surprise, "The Remiel Territory has fallen?"
"Yes, my lord... First, Lord Su Yue led a large army in a powerful surprise attack on the entire territory of Kafulwit, then the city of Chiwell collapsed and was invaded by the high elves, and now, the elven port city of Remir has been captured and fallen!"
Joanna couldn't help but feel a little expectant about Su Yue's actions. She asked, "Where is Lord Su Yue now?"
Sir Oswald Mosley said, "My lady, the Black Knights of the Barto Empire have arrived, and your position will soon be restored, allowing you to once again rule the territory of Kafulwit! Congratulations, Lady Joanna."
Joanna shook her head and said, "No, it's not that I will regain control of the Kafulwit territory, but that Canaan will rule the Kafulwit territory."
Sir Oswald Mosley said, "Lady Joanna, what do you mean?"
Joanna said, "We didn't contribute much to this battle, did we? If we didn't contribute, why should we compete with Lord Su Yue for power?"
"...My lord, your thinking is wrong. Power should be firmly in the hands of the nobles. Don't you have even the slightest intention to compete for it?"
Joanna brushed a strand of her long blonde hair behind her ear and said, "There's no need to fight for it. His Excellency Su Yue is one of the electors of the Bato Empire, and he is a strong contender for the throne."
So what should we do?
“We must make our position clear. Whether it’s you or me, we are all just appendages of that Su Yue man.”
"The position of Elector is glorious, and His Excellency Henry VII of the Bathonian Empire also holds the Suja king in high regard. Given this, why can't we make a long-term, far-sighted investment in this Suja king of the Canaanite territories instead of opposing him?"
"..."
Everyone fell into a long silence.
However, Joanna could only represent the thoughts of a small number of people in the Earl of Kaflwitt’s territory—they were all thinking about the same question: what should they, the nobles who originally owned fiefdoms, do under the rule of Su Yue in Canaan?
Are we supposed to be Canaan's dogs?
To acknowledge that lord named Su Yue as their master?
Wagging your tail and begging for mercy in front of him?
Kneel down before him and express your loyalty and value to him?
Or, could you sacrifice your dignity and strength to help him continue expanding?
However, the lords of Joanna's territory harbored ill will towards Canaan from the very beginning, and they were suspicious of Canaan Lord Su Yue.
On the one hand, they hated the Canaanite territory!
On the other hand, they disliked Su Yue.
However, they need Su Yue to help them consolidate their territory.
They also need the support of Su Yue's troops and military force.
But now, with the support of the army and military force gone, what are they to do? They are in a predicament, in trouble, especially the lords of the Bato Empire, none of them know what to do next.
Is it a rebellion against Canaan?
Or should we not resist Canaan?
If we were to rebel against Canaan, would the White Horse Hero Lord named Su Yue possess such exaggerated and terrifying strength?
But if they don't resist the Canaanite lord, will he confiscate their territory and seize their taxes and profits?
Yes, they are indeed lords who have already fled?
But who doesn't long to go home?
For their own fiefdoms, all nobles desperately need the resources of their fiefdoms and the support of their subjects; they all need these lowly commoners to serve them.
Baron Davis: "The Su Yue leader is right, and we should support his decision."
Martin Jim: "Now that the entire territory of Kavlwit has been occupied, what should be done with our noble lands? How should that Su Yue man distribute these lands?"
A nobleman in exile named Bora looked at Countess Joanna Rivers beside him and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Canaan is currently engulfed in war and chaos. You should step forward on our behalf. We need to speak with Lord Su Yue of Canaan."
"Only by talking to him about this can we find peace of mind."
"The foundation of inner peace is the return to our original territory."
Lord's Log:
"The nobles of the Kavlwit territory united to form the Earl's Council in an attempt to resist the rule."
"?"
Su Yue laughed. You want to take back the territory you conquered? Dream on! He does have the ability to grant fiefdoms to viscounts and barons, and not just three or five at a time, but nearly ten or more. However, most of these territories have been plundered and are filled with refugees, much like the scene during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The extreme chaos affected the surrounding scene; these nobles, who had not come forward during the attack and exile, were now in a state of chaos.
Now that Su Yue has dealt with the entire territory of Kavrwit, they've jumped out like this; they're nothing but clowns.
Su Yue sneered, "Sebastian Clemens, stop, descend!"
"boom!!!"
The gale tore through Su Yue's vision.
He held absolute control over the Canaanite territory. When the colossal dragon, four or five hundred meters long, crashed to the ground like land, Su Yue issued an order to the Innsmouth scouts on the ground:
“If these nobles cause trouble, they will all be imprisoned in the dungeon. The sixth-level prison in the Canaan territory was not built for nothing.”
"yes."
On the ninth day prior, Jin Xiuer had constructed key buildings such as a prison and a medical center. After Su Yue explained these matters, he prepared to go to the Remiel territory to visit his port.
"This is the outlet to the sea."
"With control of the strait leading to the sea, Canaan's power will be able to increase dramatically. We will no longer need to hide the meeting places for trade with the Wood Elves. We can trade and receive goods directly at sea, on all the shores and ports."
Su Yue laughed. The empire's large forces and armies were still moving very slowly, so Gregory followed behind while he went to check out the situation first.
In any case, with Su Yue's power as a demigod, he is basically unaffected by enemy attacks or assassinations.
Furthermore, with the power of Cthulhu and the Abyss already here, why would he fear the threat of an independent individual from the material plane?
He currently holds the title "Dragon Rider," and server-wide announcements are influencing his reputation. The high elves' favorability towards Remiel is irrelevant; his Highlord's 100% loyalty is utterly unreasonable. Even if their favorability is negative and they might take some extreme retaliatory action against Canaan, it's still manageable as long as it's properly controlled.
In any case, those who surrender can only submit to themselves.
This is absolutely certain.
A force of over 24,000, leading 56,000 prisoners of the Imperial rebels, resembled a shepherd tending his flock. The surrounding sheep were being pushed and shoved, crowding towards the city. In the darkness, below the solitary peak of Walden, the sheep, some with their heads blowing in the wind, others carrying chains, were converging on the cities of Canaan and the territory of Kafulwit. Once this group of troops surrendered, Su Yue's total force would easily exceed 100,000.
Once the number of troops exceeds 100,000, Su Yue will be able to accomplish even more.
"Greenskins, high elves, dark elves, dwarves... perhaps we can also make a move on the dwarves."
Ragnar reported on the dwarves' operational plans.
He discovered that Huntington William Frederick II, also influenced by the war in the Chivel territory, had dispatched over 20,000 troops, which were moving towards Chivel's territory.
"Catching a turtle in a jar!"
————————
The false pope, Innocent IV, calmly gazed at the map of Canaan and said, "Has Canaan already been entangled?"
He felt a terrible barb growing on his bones and flesh.
The thorn in Canaan, which was not removed at first, is now causing abscesses and wounds that are growing larger and larger.
The abscess and wound continued to expand, causing even the false Pope Innocent IV to feel pain.
"Only by capturing the capital of the Bato Empire can we truly win this battle. We must seize the capital of the Bato Empire as soon as possible."
Countless expeditionary troops and shepherds were driven away into the distance.
————————————
Eliz was riding her horse, approaching the distance.
The city of Chiwell has indeed fallen.
Smoke billowed into the sky from an extremely distant location, but suddenly, Elie, Bai Yue, and the other player lords stared in shock at the heavens!
"What is that??"
"Holy crap!!!!"
"Su Yue's giant dragon mount!!"
"Damn, that's so cool!!"
Zhou Zhuo was completely dumbfounded. It felt like an airplane was flying right past them, skimming the ground. Su Yue waved to them. His current goal was to head to the Remiel territory. The troops from part of the Canaan territory in Qiweier City had already been mobilized.
"Boss, we're here!!!"
"We're on the ground."
The sky was originally a free and uninhabited territory, but now that enormous dragon, stretching for four or five hundred meters and seemingly endless, had taken over the entire sky, and terrifying darkness and icy clouds shrouded the surroundings.
A lot of information about players' guilds is also surfacing.
Su Yue looked down at the endless ocean line beside him, and at the city of Qiweier, which seemed to extend into the sea like tentacles.
"The elves' offensive is indeed quite fierce... and the defenses of Qiweier City are not too weak either. I didn't expect it to be breached so easily."
Soon, the city of Qiweier felt a huge shadow sweep across the sky.
"What is that!?"
"!! That's a dragon?!"
The terrifying dragon's might caused the high elf warhorses of Qiwell to riot. Humans also felt the pressure of the dragons, but not as intensely as the animals and horses.
The horses began to riot!
The high elves within the city all looked up at the sky in terror. The fourth-tier high elf mages nervously raised their staffs, trying to find the source of that oppressive aura!
But when they looked up, they discovered that it was a massive, powerful dragon, hundreds of meters long.
And it's a two-headed dragon!
A two-headed dragon pierces through the clouds!
A handsome, domineering, and majestic lord gazes at the scene in the distance!
"That's...? Su Yue, the Lord of Canaan!!"
"Damn it, how did he end up on top of a dragon's head?!"
"boom!!!!!"
The high elves immediately ordered a resistance: "Fire arrows!!"
"Release the arrows!"
A dark rain of arrows descended upon Sebastian Clemens, the dragon. The arrows filled the sky, and Su Yue sneered, "Sebastian Clemens, how do you feel?"
"Master, these ants need to be eliminated!!"
"Shoot them!"
"yes!!"
The terrifying 8th-tier dragon, an adult dragon that had lived for over 3500 years, immediately unleashed a terrifying, emerald-green flame, resembling a will-o'-the-wisp, within its neck and esophagus!
"A giant dragon!!!"
"It's a dragon!!!"
"A giant dragon has attacked Qiwei City!!"
A high elf lord, clad in magnificent elven armor, stood atop the city wall, gazing into the distance. To his astonishment, he saw the Canaanite lord, Su Yue, arrive atop a giant dragon!
Lord's Log: "Your presence while riding a dragon, overlooking and dominating the city of Chiwell, has reduced the enemy's morale by 9!"
"Hehe, that's the effect I wanted."
After Su Yue had previously recruited the dragon Sebastian Clemens, he had not ridden him until now. The exhilaration he felt upon riding him was simply beyond measure.
The surrounding gale and turbulent currents whipped Su Yue's long hair.
"The day isn't over yet, let me play with you guys for a while!! I used to have a really strange feeling watching Lord of the Rings, all kinds of movies, Lord of the Rings and those movies about Middle-earth, but I never thought I'd be playing a villain, riding the dragon Smaug!! and launching a surprise attack on Lake-town!?"
The dragon that Su Yue is riding now is three times larger than Smaug!
Smaug is a giant dragon recorded in Middle-earth history. He is pale reddish-gold and extremely large. In the lore, he is 141 meters long!
However, the Sebastian Clemens dragon beneath Su Yue's feet was over 460 meters long. Su Yue hadn't measured the exact length, but its stats and attributes were incredibly powerful, unleashing a massive rain of arrows from the ground upwards!
However, it had no effect on the two-headed venomous dragon.
In reality, this giant dragon is Su Yue.
Its origins are also quite exaggerated. As a hybrid of a multi-headed dragon and a poison dragon, although it is not a pure-blooded dragon, it is indeed a variant of a dragon! Especially with its 8th-tier strength, it is an extremely powerful existence no matter how you look at it.
His scales were the color of muddy brown skin, with hardened silvery-brown scales on his abdomen, though these were obscured by traces of corrosion and silt.
Now, the enormous dragon breath caused his belly to swell.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous dragon's breath was fiercely spewed out into the distance!
"boom!!!"
Su Yue rode a giant dragon, launching an attack towards the distant enemy! A long, narrow streak of dragon breath flames swept across the eastern side of the city, engulfing a large number of enemy troops within Qiweier City!
Lord's Log: "You have killed 125 Tier 3 Matheran's Heirs, 250 Phoenix Guards, and 52 Astari Sentinels..."
A crimson breath of fire, mixed with green flames, created a scene resembling will-o'-the-wisps, shocking everyone in the city of Qiweier!
"A giant dragon!!!"
"A dragon! A dragon has attacked the entire city!!"
"Aaaaaaah, run!"
Ordinary human soldiers and comrades stared incredulously at the scene in the distance.
Many of them were even ecstatic, some even kneeling on the ground, begging for God's forgiveness and praying to God!
"God, thank you for your love!! God, your love illuminates us!"
"The Canaanite Lord Su Yue is our Messiah, our great savior!! He is the angel sent by God to save us, Su Yue is the archangel."
Legend has it that Frederick William II was the resurrection and reincarnation of God, which is why he was able to be resurrected every time he was killed!
But now, they never expected that after the fall of Qiweier City...
That Canaanite lord, Su Yue, was actually able to ride a giant dragon and enter and attack these high elf lords who had already gained an absolute advantage! He attacked their territory!!
This undoubtedly provided a source of faith and hope for humanity, which had been plunged into despair by the rule of the High Elves.
As long as hope remains, their hearts will not be completely consumed by fear.
At this moment, all the residents of Qiweier City regarded Su Yue as God!
A colossal dragon launched a surprise attack!
The High Elves' countermeasures were equally swift!
Vast expanses of golden magical incantations emanated from this distant place.
Arcane Phoenix!!!!
"Damn it, it's magic!!"
"Lord Su Yue, be careful!"
A child looked excitedly at the scene in the sky, his expression full of anticipation, and said, "Lord Su Yue will definitely be able to defeat these phoenixes!"
A large number of magical phoenixes were summoned and converged on the direction of Su Yue's Canaan territory.
Meanwhile, at the catapult position not far away, there was a scene of arrows converging. Everyone was stunned by the feat of one man raiding the city!
The dragon's might drove the warhorses to a frenzy of anxiety, as did the parrots of Qiwell, the nobles' pets, the moon wolves, the forest wolves, and even some of the high elf eagles and hyenas—all were driven to the brink of collapse!
"Dragon's Might!!"
"Damn Canaanite lords!!"
A surprise attack prompted Lord Eral Ysera to roar, "Counterattack!! Counterattack!!"
Arrows and a rain of arrows from the high elves rushed wildly toward Su Yue and his surroundings!
How could Su Yue possibly confront them head-on!
As Sebastian Clemens gained the advantage in mobility, a colossal dragon, as large as Smaug, soared through the sky. Sebastian Clemens roared, "Damn flies!"
Indeed, compared to the enormous size of this dragon, these small creatures around it seem as tiny and ridiculous as flies.
The falcon and the flying phoenixes, like fighter jets in an aerial battle, chased after Su Yue.
"boom!!!!"
The second dragon launched a surprise attack, spewing its breath at Lord Eral Ysera, who stood atop the walls of Chivel City!
"Protect Lady Eral Ysera!!!"
A legion of over 400 Tier 4 mages cast a spell in unison, creating a streamlined, transparent, emerald-green vortex-like barrier that countered the dragon's powerful thrusts. However, because the dragon was flying through the air, it had to move forward as well!
He can't keep aiming at the same spot and spraying continuously; he can only perform area attacks, flying forward while spraying!
Even just a small portion of the dragon's breath's flames!
Nearly 80 mages were also burned to ashes by the light shield's corrosive effect!
"Put out the fire quickly!!!"
"This flame is poisonous!!"
The dragon's attack on the city filled the hearts of the entire army of Qiweier with fear and gloom; they were all gripped by this terrifying power!
The raging flames, like magma, and the corpses of high elves scattered across the ground, enraged Eral Ysera, the city's garrison commander!
"We need to mobilize the Forest Dragons, and that Eternal Dragon, Imras, and the Calamity Dragons!! To launch a counterattack against the Canaanite territory!!"
The scout trembled as he reported, "Lord Eral Ysera, Eredar Gnold and the troops returning to Remir's aid have been ambushed and attacked, suffering heavy losses!!"
"What?!!"
The dragon attack did not affect Eral Ysera's spirit.
His long ears perked up at that moment. Upon hearing the news of the surprise attack on Lord Ereda Genor, a genuine sense of fear welled up within him!
"Ereda Gnor!!"
The other side of darkness.
In the forest, Malekith looked at Ereda Genor before him and laughed, "You are still so arrogant, and your martial arts and combat skills are still so rigid and outdated!"
Ereda Genor stared intently at Malekith before her with serious eyes and asked, "Who exactly are you? And why do you know elven swordsmanship?"
Malekith's pupils and body had merged with Midnight; he was essentially the armor, and the armor was him. Therefore, he concealed his identity and completely disappeared from the society of the elven world. He said, "You don't need to know who I am; who I am is not important."
"!!!"
Clang! Clang! The sound of clanging kept coming!
Lord Eredar Genor and Lord Malekith are locked in battle!
Both men were well aware that their duel would determine the outcome of the entire unit's victory or defeat!
High in the sky, a colossal dragon, its body riddled with arrows, plummeted from the distant heavens!
Su Yue's clothes caught fire as he fell rapidly. He casually extinguished the flames and laughed, "You two continue. I just came to take a look."
