The Moon Goddess looked at Merlin and slowly asked, "How many soldiers and armies do you think the Dawn Empire, a human empire, has? How many powerful people does it have? The eighth level is the level of a legendary wizard. One step further is a demigod. Once you gain godhood, you can become a true god."
She glanced at the injured troops on the battlefield behind her, and continued with a serious expression, "These troops and knights are all the strength that the Dawn Empire can currently use. Perhaps this is all the combat power that can be assembled near the imperial capital. As for the strong, the seventh-level strong who just mixed in the army, plus this fallen eighth-level Bruel Pandragon, are actually quite a lot. Do you think that seventh-level and eighth-level strong are cabbages that can be found everywhere? Even a sixth-level existence will be treated as a guest of honor wherever it is placed."
"The Dawn Empire cannot send out more strong men until the last moment. This is the trump card of an empire. If these strong men are killed in the battle, how can the Dawn Empire suppress other empires? How can it check and balance the nobles below? Even though the royal family of the Dawn Empire is the descendant of the Goddess of Light, for gods, descendants are actually irrelevant. What they want is faith. If the new monarch can gain more power of faith, most gods are even willing to become the driving force behind the destruction of their own descendants."
Merlin's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Is this so outrageous?"
The Moon Goddess Selene nodded affirmatively, "The Goddess of Light is definitely capable of doing this."
Merlin frowned and asked in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case. You elves have demigods and many eighth-level warriors..."
Moon Goddess Selene rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "We are a whole race! Not a country. Elves and humans are equivalent."
Then, she continued, "The 'Meat Cancer' released by the Lord of Flesh and Blood just now has been intercepted by the army supporting the Dawn Empire, but they can't spare any manpower to support us. Let's run as fast as we can now."
Merlin quickly responded: "I'm not a fool. I will run if I can."
As he said that, he shouted Arthur's name loudly, "Arthur, come here quickly, retreat first!"
However, after hearing Merlin's cry, Arthur did not turn around. Instead, he raised the dawn and rushed towards the Lord of Flesh and Blood without hesitation.
"Fuck it, are you trying to kill yourself?" Merlin gritted his teeth in anger and hurriedly took out a large number of alchemical props from his space ring.
Arthur knew in his heart, escape? Where else can you escape to? Behind him is the imperial capital of the Dawn Empire. Even if the Lord of Flesh and Blood does not attack the imperial capital, as long as it leaves here, it will be a disaster for the Dawn Empire.
As a member of the royal family and a prince, he must shoulder the responsibility of protecting his people.
Merlin looked at the communication crystal in his hand, his face filled with anxiety.
Because the evil power of the Lord of Flesh and Blood disrupted the surrounding magic power, the communication crystal had no signal at all and could not contact anyone at all.
Merlin was extremely worried. He quickly ran to Scarlett, shook her shoulders anxiously, and asked, "Did your grandfather leave you any backup plan? Can you ask the dean to come over and pin this Lord of Flesh and Blood to death?"
"I don't know either. Maybe there is. Otherwise, you throw me out and see if my grandfather will show up in a life-and-death crisis." Scarlett's shoulder was hurt by Merlin's shaking, and she made her suggestion in desperation.
Merlin couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. Throwing Scarlett to the Lord of Flesh and Blood?
That won’t do. If the dean finds out, how can he still be alive?
Besides, Scarlett is his important colleague, how could he do that?
"Forget it, I'll think of another way." Merlin said helplessly.
At this time, Scarlett looked at Merlin and said seriously, "Merlin, the affairs of the Ancient God Cult are the responsibility of the entire Federation. You don't have to stay here and take everything on yourself. I know you are a good person and don't want to see the Lord of Flesh and Blood wreak havoc on the continent, but this is no longer something we can handle!"
Merlin was a little stunned. He didn't expect that this was how he was seen in Scarlett's eyes.
Who would want to care about the trouble of the Lord of Flesh and Blood? If he could run away, he would have done so long ago. But his good brother Arthur didn't run away. How could he abandon Arthur and escape alone?
Scarlett rode on the Nature Guardian and rushed to Merlin and Stacy like the wind. She stretched out her hand and tried to pull them up. She said breathlessly, "I have rescued the students of Dawn Academy, and the army is also evacuating quickly. Now we are the only ones left. Let's go!"
At this moment, a tremendous wave of blood and energy suddenly arose in the direction of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.
It was as if an invisible force was stirring, with the Lord of Flesh and Blood as the center, and the rolling heat waves spread out in all directions like a surging tide.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood. Wherever the heat wave passed, the soil and rocks on the ground were instantly burned red, as if they were about to melt.
The surrounding space seemed to be distorted by the heat wave, presenting a strange fluctuation.
Merlin turned around and saw Arthur flying backwards like a kite with its string cut, his skin burned by the heat and charred.
The Lord of Flesh and Blood slowly walked out from the rolling flesh and blood and heat waves. His originally damaged body was constantly recovering, his broken limbs were growing again, and his wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It let out a creepy laugh and said, "That's great. It's really interesting. I didn't expect there are descendants of the God of War here."
Merlin suddenly felt cold all over, a biting chill instantly spreading from the soles of his feet to his whole body. He clearly felt that he was being stared at, as if he was being locked by a hungry python.
“Damn it!”
Merlin thought to himself that something was wrong. Without thinking, he picked up Scarlett and threw her at Stacy, then ran towards Arthur without hesitation.
He knew clearly that the Lord of Flesh and Blood had set his sights on him, and he must not let Staci and the others escape with him.
"Stacy, take Scarlett away!" Merlin shouted, his voice a little hoarse in the heat.
Arthur quickly adjusted his body in the air and looked at Merlin running towards him from behind, feeling moved.
He thought to himself, he is worthy of being President Merlin, the person he has always admired. He actually wants to work with him to deal with the Lord of Flesh and Blood in such a desperate situation, and he is not afraid of gods at all!
Arthur's confidence increased instantly. He tightly grasped the light in his hand, and his aura became stronger and stronger, as if he had ignited an endless fighting spirit.
Is this what it feels like to fight alongside your brothers?
He secretly swore in his heart that he must get through this difficult time with Merlin.
