Fortress of Dawn.

There were three bodies in the side hall.

From left to right are Alex with a pierced head, Ender with scars all over his body, and the prostitute with a pierced chest.

Savos, the president of the Mages' Association, looked at them one by one while listening to the report from the commander of the First Guards.

By the time he finished reading, the team leader's report was also over.

“President, this is the whole process.”

Savos was silent.

The results of his inspection were exactly the same as those reported by the team leader.

In other words, his daughter acted on impulse and did something stupid with extremely serious consequences.

She simply ran away, and he was left to clean up the damn mess.

"Freeze Alex's body and burn the whore's body. Burn Ender's, too."

"Yes, President."

The leader was not in a hurry to leave. He asked carefully, "President, what about Miss?"

"Go there yourself and bring people to bring her back."

After a pause, Savos took a deep breath and added.

"We must bring him back, dead or alive!"

"Yes, President!"

The captain of the guard turned to carry out the order.

Savos was in a very bad mood, feeling angry, mad and afraid, with fear being the greatest and occupying almost his entire soul.

He did love Natalie because she was his daughter from his youth with his first wife, the only woman he had ever loved.

However, he did not have only one child.

He can continue to raise children as long as he wants.

Since Natalie had done something stupid that was irreparable, he had no choice but to give up on her.

The most important thing now is how to explain to Count Gauntkin.

It was true that the envoys sent by the Earl were ridiculous, but they could warn him, neglect him, or even punish him quietly, but they could never kill him.

That’s the bottom line.

Once the bottom line is crossed, it will trigger extremely terrifying punishment, countless lives will be ended, and even the entire Gray City may be destroyed.

So, at this moment, Savos was like an ant on a hot pan.

Just when the president of the Eye of Dawn was in a state of panic, there was an inconspicuous wooden house on the edge of the Gray City.

Rosen and the Apostle of Joy Liv stood side by side at the second-floor window, their eyes moving over the battle mages that flew past.

Liv was stabbed by Rosen, but the stab didn't hit the vital part at all.

With her physical condition, she recovered in just a few minutes, and then found a recently dead body in the street to make up the number.

There is no need to worry about being exposed because no one will care about the specific identity of a prostitute.

Rosen is even simpler.

The body of Ender, the Hand of Dawn, is still there. We just need to deal with it simply according to the situation at the scene.

"Your Majesty, without outside help, Natalie won't be able to get far before she's caught."

Natalie's 15th ring power is indeed very strong, but as long as she has the magic weapon of Moon City, she can be easily tracked.

If she gave up the Moon City weapon, her power would be greatly weakened, and she would be no match for the Guards Battle Mage.

Rosen knew this, of course, and said with a smile: "I will go to help her later. As for you, when will you be able to take control of a brothel again?"

After something like this happened, the Happy Bird naturally couldn't stay there and had to move to another place.

Liv smiled and said, "It will be very quick. Three days at most."

After a pause, she asked, "Recently, rumors of a new church have begun to spread in the streets of Gray City. It's called the Doomsday Cult, and it believes in a god called 'The Savior of the Doomsday'."

"The church's followers are secretive, but their infiltration capabilities are very strong. Although their current momentum is not large, they are growing at a terrifying speed."

"Your Majesty, do you have any countermeasures for this?"

It is obvious that this so-called doomsday savior is the code name of the Goddess of Annihilation.

After all, he is a 5-ring supreme god, with powerful divine power, superb methods, and rich experience, especially the ability of brainwashing and infiltration, which is incomparable to the current Rosen.

Apart from anything else, just those pair of terrifying eyes like black holes are enough to easily break the defenses of mortals and make people subconsciously worship him.

Rosen felt that unless he gave his core followers the Scepter of Light, these believers would be unsafe and could be converted into doomsday believers at any time.

The only good news is that the true body of the Goddess of Annihilation is still in another world, otherwise Rosen would have no chance of winning at all.

Of course, these severe situations can easily undermine the morale of his followers, but he just needs to know it.

For your followers, you should paint a more rosy picture to inspire their fighting spirit.

So, he smiled slightly and said, "Of course there is a countermeasure."

He raised his hand and moved his fingers lightly. As the light flowed from his fingertips, a ring of light that protected his soul condensed again.

"I have vaguely sensed the existence of the source substance, and can utilize its power to some extent."

"Maybe I'm not strong enough, but I have a huge number of believers who continuously provide me with source essence. This allows me to create a soul-protecting artifact for each of my followers."

Liv was shocked: "Your Majesty, are you about to ignite the divine fire?"

"It's almost there, just the last bit left. If we're lucky, maybe a month, if we're unlucky, it'll only be half a year."

This was exciting news and gave Liv a lot of confidence.

She immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will pay close attention to the development of the Doomsday Cult."

Rosen smiled: "I will also keep a close eye on your soul and ensure that you will not face the Great One alone."

After saying that, he stretched and said, "Okay, Natalie is a little confused about her future. I have to guide her."

Afterwards, the two sides began to act separately.

One stayed in Gray City to continue collecting intelligence, while the other was teleported directly.

His vision suddenly darkened and then lightened, and Rosen was near Natalie, watching her running wildly in the wilderness.

She obviously knew the positioning function of the Moon City magic weapon and threw it away early.

At this time, she fled in the wilderness relying only on her own strength.

But she clearly overestimated her abilities.

In less than an hour, the eldest daughter of the Eye of Dawn had already lost her glamorous appearance.

Her neatly combed hair became disheveled, her snow-white cheeks were covered with stains, her shiny dress was stained with mud, grass juice and blood, and was torn in many places.

Although she was running out of breath, she did not dare to stop or be distracted in any way.

He looked left and right while running, his spirit was tense to the extreme.

Rosen could tell at a glance that her ability to survive in the wild was far inferior to Oriande's.

Given her current condition, she would be caught by the pursuers in five hours at most.

But without experiencing real hardships and obstacles, it is difficult to hone a strong will.

So, Rosen just watched from the sidelines.

Now, under the nourishment of the core divine fire, the speed at which his outer soul strength increases has greatly accelerated, and is getting faster and faster.

He has currently broken through to the 21st ring, and it may take less than a month to reach the top 23rd ring in the mortal world.

He even worried that his power was too great and that he would not be able to stay in the mortal world any longer, so he had to find a way to slow down the speed at which his power increased.

With such power, it would be easy for him to take care of a mortal, and the attention consumed would be less than one tenth.

So, he hid in the dark and watched Natalie while thinking about the situation in Gray City.

There are three major forces in Gray City at present.

One is the Eye of Dawn, one is the Dragon Mountain Brotherhood, and one is the Cult of Doomsday.

The Eye of Dawn itself is not scary; what is scary is the powerful force of the Moon City behind it.

Once a high-powered force intervenes, Gray City can be easily wiped off the map.

Rosen believed that some big shots in Moon City were very willing to do this because they wished all ordinary people on earth would die.

Even a true god would find it difficult to withstand a head-on attack from a high-powered force and could only use magic and techniques to avoid the impact.

Because the biggest gap between the High Energy Empire and the True God is not the amount of power, but the control over the power.

The true gods are strong in their precise control of power, but they are still living beings after all. Faced with high-energy war weapons created by national power, they cannot use their own bodies to resist.

Therefore, if Moon City really wants to use high-energy weapons to overturn the table, Rosen can only watch but cannot stop it.

"Now that the Eye of Dawn has killed the Moon City's messenger, I have to be on guard against Moon City's attack."

How to guard against it? Rosen certainly has a way.

He contacted Adela quietly, briefly introduced the situation in the city, and then asked:

"My dear, what do you think Lord Gauntkin will do?"

Adela replied that she would be there soon.

"From what I know, my Earl will severely punish the Eye of Dawn, but will not destroy Gray City. This is because he needs the residents of Gray City to collect various rare materials from the ruins on the ground. For example, the high-energy material obsidian."

This answer made Rosen feel relieved, and he asked again: "If the Grey City changes its owner, what will Earl Gauntkin do?"

"He will send the family warriors to the mortal world to clean up the rebels and then support a new agent."

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure of it, for this is not the first time the Count has done so."

Rosen then asked, "How strong are the family warriors? Did they violate the Queen's ban?"

"Of course not, but the warriors of the family have an average of 15 souls, and the number exceeds 300. They are all equipped with armor made of eternal obsidian gold and eternal essence staffs that can activate the highest 18th level of power. This is a force that mortals cannot resist."

"Although the Queen knew about it, she couldn't say much. After all, the Earl did not violate the ban."

Rosen knew what was going on, and asked again, "What does the Queen think of me?"

This time, Adela took a full five seconds to reply.

"The Queen said she wants to carefully observe your every word and action."

"During this time, she has been observing, occasionally lost in thought, and has never made any comments."

Rosen smiled and said, "Observe me? I think I'm hiding well. She may not be able to observe me all the time, right?"

"Indeed, if I can see it, I'll see it. If I can't see it, I'll wait for you to show up. After all, you haven't been hiding all the time, have you?"

"That's a good point. Let's do this for now."

After stopping the communication, Rosen began to look up the source knowledge given to him by the Joyer.

There was a lot of knowledge. As he read it, he verified it silently in his mind and found that every piece of knowledge was very reliable and could be used directly.

"The Joyer took out the real stuff, which helped me a lot. I have to repay her in the future."

This knowledge saved him a lot of time, and helped him quickly improve the structure of the divine fire, create more powerful source magic weapons, and create his own core divine arts.

These are his current shortcomings, so he watched more attentively.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed.

Natalie became more and more embarrassed. Her strength was almost exhausted. Her left ankle was sprained and swollen like a bun, which greatly affected her forward speed.

Looking at the pursuers behind her, they were less than five kilometers away from her and had already found the traces she left behind.

"It's almost my turn. Wait, it seems I'm not the only one who wants this young lady."

The Goddess of Annihilation wants it too.
