Freya's eyes widened as she fell from mid-air as she watched as the female knight slashed at her with another sword, but she was too badly wounded to dodge. She couldn't help but close her eyes, and her heart was cold.

But an exclamation replaced what should have happened that was unbearable for everyone to witness.

In the eyes of everyone, an azure spear slammed firmly against the long sword in Lorenna's hand. The female knight immediately realized that the other party had companion reinforcements, and subconsciously wanted to draw her sword and retreat, but the next moment, she was surprised to find that she couldn't move.

"How so!"

Laurenna was taken aback, she had never encountered anything like this since she had learned to flash a sword. She realized that it was not that she was unable to move under some magic, but that the space that she had once controlled suddenly became obscure in front of her, and the blades that moved freely in it suddenly seemed to sink into the condensed ice.

She looked up in shock and looked at the ponytail girl standing in front of her.

Akane didn't say a word, holding the Azure Spear and staring at her coldly.

Another girl at the peak of gold. Although Laurena already knew Brando's strength, she never dreamed that a single Tonygel would hide so many geniuses, as if the entire Eruin monster was gathered here.

And it was at this time that an indifferent voice came: "The flash sword uses spatial movement to directly inflict damage, so under the fate of being undefeated, even the spatial movement effect is only less than ten percent of the effect." That's really a thing. ”

Hearing this voice, Delphien, who was standing behind all the knights, suddenly changed his face.

"Count Toniger." The woman seemed to be gritting her teeth to pronounce the name.

She subconsciously wanted to back away, but the voice shouted first, "Charles." ”

As soon as the words fell, an invisible shackle descended out of thin air and fell on every Cruz person present. Then a somewhat cold voice reached the ears of the knights:

"The law of space, solidification."

Accompanied by this sound. Brando's figure had actually emerged from the crowd. He took a step before separating the crowd to catch Freya falling from mid-air, and raised his head to stare coldly at the Prime Minister of the Cruz:

"This lady, it seems that we have met in the Ring of Trade Winds, right?"

"Veronica asked you to come. Could it be that the Cruz are preparing to declare war on Eruin? ”

"If that's the case, I'll be there for you."

Brando's words are clear. There was an uproar all around.

……

The Sacred Palace of Eleudnir was shrouded in a cloud of clouds all year round, and the floor of the empty obsidian hall reflected a dark blue glow, dark as a mirror, and in the darkness reflected a hundred and twenty pillars of the dead made of white bones, supporting the Gothic dome formed by stacking layers of bones.

Here, it is said that the breath exhaled by the living is frozen into ice crystals like glass slag in an instant, so that the main hall is forever icy, and the 'hunger wail' of things passing through the pillars lingers above the vault like the voice of a madman.

The inhabitants of the area around Quiet Bay (1) believed that the 'Hunger Wail' was the scream of the ghouls crawling out of the abyss, and the Warnd people often believed that the breath of the dead would form the wind. Hence the lingering. But in fact, there were such natural landscapes here long before the founding of the country.

(Note: The bay between today's northern Eruin and Saint-Osor)

In the whistling of the wind. Black-robed black knights walked through the pillars. The metal hook-like ornament at the end of the cloak was dragged along, making a clangling echo. These dark courtiers made their way through the massive Spirit Mother Spiders crouching on either side of the Pillars of the Dead, under the gaze of their four pairs of lantern-like glowing eyes. They stood in two columns in the center of the hall, silent, silent.

Instaron stood at the very end of the hall, standing side by side with Tagus, watching the scene with interest. Unlike most of the old-fashioned undead who were so decaying that they seemed to have burned out as long as their lives, he had a great deal of knowledge, he knew the scenery of the ancient kingdom opposite the black Bramanto rose, he knew the splendid culture of the Cruz people, and even knew that most of the mortal literature in the area of Eruin and Cruz often recorded the mistake that the Black Knight was an undead creature such as a skeleton in armor - in fact, it was very different from most rumors. The Black Knight of Hull, even in Madara, is a very special kind of undead. Most of their territories are close to the Dead Moon Inland Sea, and they maintain a cold and elegant habit of life, the dead inscribe their oaths on their armor before they die, and the fire of the soul haunts the obsession of the living, driven by the fire of revenge, which is the origin of the Black Knight.

Their stubbornness is notoriously known even in Madara, and while it is often said that stubbornness resembles the rotten bones of Madara, the Black Knights are especially stubborn, the Knights of the Living who adhere to their dogmas, and the dead Knights who are forever trapped by oaths and curses.

Instarong thought they could be called 'Madara's of Madara'. He watched this scene with a playful expression, and he was at odds with the grimacing Tagus beside him.

A buzzing voice rang out in the hall: "In the name of the Eternal Dark Moon and the Black Flower, the supreme King of the Dark Realm, the Staff Bearer of Loki, please accept the allegiance and salute of the lords from the East." ”

The sound seemed to stretch the empty hall further, and it reached the other side of the depths, but it was not responded to for a long time. Above the hall, the Supreme One on the throne waited for a moment before giving a soft 'um'.

The Black Knights bowed their heads.

"After applauding the majesty of His Majesty, and even the territory of the Sea of the Dead Moon was surrendered, the unification of the Dark Realm after a thousand years was almost at hand. In addition to the woman Alvet who still doesn't know what to think, there is only one country left, Tagus, the dead moon is rising, and it is really exciting to be able to participate in such a history. Instaron watched the Black Knights bow their heads and couldn't help but whisper to his companions.

"Expectation is not the emotion of the dead," Tagus replied lightly, and even his expression did not change much. As one of the noblest vampires of the Manrhine family, he was allowed to wear a black aristocratic robe with gold trim in this hall, standing alongside the unranked Instaron, which looked extremely comical. "Madara began to follow the will of the mercury staff. Like a curse rather than a goal, the world of the living is nothing more than a fleeting thing in the eyes of the eternal, in my opinion. Only time, truth, and dust are valuable. ”

"That's why the humans out there call us stubborn skeletons."

"But the show has just begun, Tagus, and the arrival of the Black Knight today is just an appetizer." Instaron did not feel any embarrassment in the slightest because of his humble position. On the contrary, he was full of interest: "Look at it, His Majesty summoned the blood rod back, it must be because something good happened." ”

Tagus didn't say a word, in fact, he already knew what was happening. A week ago, two dark nobles were attacked by humans in the western territory of Madara near the Eruin Kingdom, and one of the vampire castles was almost completely charred, leaving behind a large number of traces of fire 'purification', and almost no undead creatures could escape.

Other words. At least one of the Knights of the Flame Sanctuary has infiltrated the territory of Madara.

Having such an incident at this time of year gave him a strong smell of conspiracy. While this is not uncommon on the border between Eruin and Madara, humans are responding to the call of the Templars and the undead are raiding each other's territories. Knights often privately formed armies between the two sides to invade each other's territory.

Only since the accession to the throne of Obergu VI of Eruin. Madala switched from defense to offense, gradually occupying the initiative in the war.

But this is no longer the case. The peace treaty between the Eruins and Madara had only been signed for a year, and it was clear that the human kingdom was in the grip of a civil war, so it was clear that the war would not start at this time.

So who is fishing in troubled waters here is very suspicious.

The indifferent vampire narrowed his only remaining eye, and he looked up to see as if as Instalon had said, the next dark lord who had taught the Eruin a painful lesson in Karasu, the 'blood staff' of the blood-colored robes, the King of the Corpse Witch, Jogg, slowly walked into the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have brought not so gratifying news today."

"Those lowly humans are now challenging your majesty in the realm of Madara."

"The pain of the war a year ago seems to have faded into oblivion to the stubborn human aristocracy."

"Today, I'm here to ask your permission to bring them new horrors down there."

The hoarse voice of the Blood Staff echoed beneath the vaults of the Sacred Palace of Eleudnir, while Tagus and Instarong narrowed their eyes slightly.

……

Brando threw the letter in Delphien's hand in front of her, and he looked at the woman carefully, in fact he had a relationship with her as early as the Trade Winds, but then he had glanced at her from a distance, far less carefully than he did today.

The beauty of the other party was indeed enough to make anyone feel broken, and of all the women he had ever seen, only Princess Griffiin could compete with one of them.

But compared to the vicious heart of the other party, Her Royal Highness the princess is simply as simple as a child.

"Miss Delphien, though I don't know how to offend you there. But you don't need to take revenge on me at such a cost...... Mistress Veronica has asked you to come and deliver this news to me, and then again, it seems that you Cruz people are not planning to go to war with us Eruins, but are asking me-"

He paused for a moment, and couldn't help but sarcastically say, "If she knew that you came to make conditions for me like this, I'm afraid she wouldn't be satisfied." ”

The prime minister's daughter didn't say a word, staring at him coldly, but the resentment in her eyes was like a poisonous snake spitting letters. This made Brando frown, he never dreamed that he had offended the other party, and wanted to make the other party look so bitter and hateful.

But fortunately, he didn't need the woman to speak, he glanced at the letter, and he already knew the contents of it. He raised his head, silently estimating in his heart that this was that historical event.

This drama directed and acted by the blood rod has also happened in history. He originally thought that because history had been completely changed, this qiē would not happen again, but he didn't expect that the unlucky King of the Corpse Witch would still send this trouble to him.

But Brando's eyes narrowed, and he didn't have much worry in his heart.

Right now, there is a rare opportunity for him. It is rare to encounter familiar historical events, and I am afraid that there will be no more such good things in the future.
