The Imperial Guard Corps began its journey from Lancy, the capital of the Duchy of Gaul, to the 18th Infantry Division, an elite unit that had died during the Decade War.

I don't know if the Duchy of Gaul had any intention in doing this.

They took the Duchy special train to the front line, although there was no Invalides, but they had a full set of alchemy weapons, and their combat effectiveness was still quite good.

Dressed in black and white and wearing alchemical cuirasses, the Knights of the Round Table finally had time to rest after four days in a duel of hidden powers.

As the most elite group of soldiers in the Ten Years War, they still have the memories of the battles they had in their lifetime after becoming the Guards, not only were they all sharpshooters, but they were also not inferior to the Templars on the other side in close combat.

The addition of five hundred Imperial Guards broke the deadlock in the battle, and seeing that the Knights Templar were about to fall, Army Group South came up with another hidden force, the Knights Hospitaller.

Although the Knights Hospitaller are relatively mediocre in combat, their ability to heal themselves and heal their comrades is quite good. The reason why the Templars were suppressed by the Imperial Guard was because the alchemy rifles used by the Guards were effective in destroying the alchemy matrix in the Templars' bodies.

With the help of the Knights Hospitaller, the Knights Templar quickly gained a foothold, and the battlefield was once again deadlocked.

There is no way, the Duchy of Gaul has already taken out their Imperial Guard, and even if this line of defense is broken now, they will send a second batch of Imperial Guards.

The Guards buried in the Invalides during the Ten Years War were told to the Duchy of Dunling, and although they are now helping the Duchy of Dunling, they have not forgotten the blood feud of the past.

The Duchy of Dunling had no choice but to send the ancient dragons sitting in every major city to join the battle, hoping to achieve victory.

The Elder Dragon is an extremely complex alchemy puppet, and during the period of the Combined Army, it was also considered the main force in the Middle-earth Theater, and the Pendragon family, who had a close relationship with the Stuart family, were lucky enough to find ten surviving ancient dragons and signed an alliance with them.

The pact is simple, the Pendragon family will restore human civilization, and the ancient dragons will protect them forever. However, these are just some alchemy puppets after all, and they have only developed wisdom in countless years of precipitation, and the Pendragon family has finally partially mastered these ancient dragons after dozens of generations of continuous research.

For example, let them fight against the enemy, not just sit in the city.

With the entry of a black ancient dragon into the battle, the hidden power of the Holy Kingdom could no longer resist the enemy's attack and began to retreat.

However, this is exactly what Army Group South wants to do, which is to constantly put pressure on the Duchy of Dunling to let them use the ten powerful ancient dragons, so as to ensure that the next attack on the ten major cities of the Duchy of Dunling will not be threatened by the ancient dragons, and speed up and reduce losses.

However, it seems that the strength of the ancient dragon exceeds the expectations of the Southern Army, and the Duchy of Dunling has completely gained an overwhelming advantage over the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller with only one ancient dragon.

Therefore, these ancient dragons did not rely on arranging the huge alchemy matrix system in the city to achieve their prestige. The ancient dragon itself is very powerful.

Therefore, Army Group South immediately dispatched the Dragon Hunting Knights, which had been prepared for a long time.

Although it is called the Dragon Hunter Knights by the Holy Country, in fact, when these war machines were created and taken out, they were not made to deal with dragon-like creatures such as ancient dragons, but giant monsters formed from fragments of living meteorites, just like the monster inside the Continental Bridge.

Armed with a seven-meter-long alchemy axe, these eight-meter-tall humanoid weapons carry a tower shield large enough to cover their entire body, like a walking fortress, and their weight ensures that it will not be beaten out by giant monsters.

The anti-gravity drive device on the body can allow it to fly up to an altitude of tens of meters for combat.

In addition to the Great Axe, the Dragon Hunter can also use alchemy attacks, driving lightning to deal damage to enemies.

However, these dragon hunters were not designed for ancient dragons, so the battle between the two sides reached a stalemate again.

Such a large-scale investment in covert forces naturally attracted the arrival of countless strange things, and now the armies of both sides also need to constantly clear the strange things that appear around their respective positions to avoid them forming a beast tide.

As both sides invest more and more in the battlefield of hidden forces, the more neither side wants to lose, the more they will continue to invest in hidden forces.

Now that a small number of illusions have begun to appear on the hills, it is a sign that the space is about to be broken, and who knows what will happen next.

After a few days of ineffective investment in the Dragon Hunting Knights, Army Group South ruthlessly sent one of the hole cards, the Angel of Power, into battle.

The Nine Angels in the hands of the so-called Southern Army Group are themselves on par with Gu Long's abilities, but one is fighting in low-earth orbit and the other is fighting inside the atmosphere.

The stalemate was broken, with the Elder Dragons on a par with the Angels of Power, and the Knights of the Dragonhunters, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Knights Templar capable of crushing the Imperial Guard and the Knights of the Round Table.

So the second ancient dragon of the Duchy of Dunling was dispatched, and the Southern Army Group followed closely behind with the Force Angel.

A week later, on the hill, seven ancient dragons and seven angels were in a fight, and on the ground, the Imperial Guard, which had expanded to a thousand men, and the Knights of the Round Table, a subordinate unit of the Knights of the Round Table, fought against the three knights of the Holy Kingdom.

This space finally couldn't withstand such a clash of hidden forces, and subspace cracks appeared densely, turning the entire hill into a scene of strange arts.

Fortunately, none of the people involved in the war were normal humans, otherwise there would have been a lot of nightmarish things on the hills now.

The number of strange things is getting more and more, even if the two sides continue to send troops to clear them, find one to eliminate one at any cost, and find a group to eliminate a group, but now the strange things are appearing faster and faster, and they have reached hundreds as soon as they appear, and a tide of hundreds of small beasts will be formed if they are not careful.

Moreover, the individual strength of these strange things is getting stronger and stronger, originally a clearing team of 300 people with 10 tanks is enough, but now it has been expanded to 600 people and 30 tanks.

And if a clearing team encounters more than one community of weird creatures, it is likely to suffer heavy losses.

To this end, both sides also had to devote more troops to clean up the strange things in the vicinity.

However, three days later, a huge tide of beasts was born and swept directly over the entire hilly area, and fortunately both sides had built up their own positions over the course of several weeks.

But one thing that has to be mentioned is that these positions are built according to human warfare, and the artillery positions are built to attack the opposite side. And the Holy Kingdom is building offensive positions.

Therefore, when resisting this beast tide, the Holy Kingdom side has to lose a little more.

After the tide of beasts was finally wiped out, the positions on both sides were in shambles, littered with the corpses of soldiers, strange creatures that had turned into smoke and gunpowder after death, and the fire burned on the wreckage of armored fighting vehicles and tanks.

However, this is not the end of the world, the strange things are still appearing, and the two armies that have experienced a large beast tide have to quickly assemble into a clearing team to deal with the new strange things.

In such a stalemate, it is estimated that before the two sides start fighting, their respective armies will be consumed by the beast tide.

Eventually, the two sides began ad hoc negotiations, deciding that neither of them would use their own covert forces in the fighting in the hills, and that a ceasefire would be held for a week to give the armies of both sides time to regroup.

。

It's been a month since the Spirit Lord came to the southern part of the Holy Kingdom, and in that month, Deraloan has been able to walk on his own and speak fluently.

She has also mastered a lot of alchemy, and she can barely be regarded as self-preservation. The spirit lord had planned to start looking for what he had left behind, but the little girl's self-care ability was still a little worried.

The spirit lord didn't understand that he was born to defeat the consciousness body of the living meteorite, and he was able to make adequate arrangements for what happened after he fell asleep, and even its arrangement greatly affected the pattern of Middle-earth, why didn't Deraloan take care of himself after he was almost a month old?

Maybe that's the limitations of human beings. Anyway, the spirit master was not in a hurry, so he simply continued to take care of the children at home.

De La Loan is now the most naughty time, and he has learned a lot of small alchemy, and the spirit is mainly a careless one, and the house may be ordered by this little girl.

Even the spirit master felt a little helpless, so he had to use the alchemy matrix to temporarily lock his alchemy first, and only let it go when he was teaching every day.

Delaloan seemed dissatisfied with this, and burst into tears at the Spirit Lord. But the Spirit Lord is not a person who will be shaken by tears, and Delaloan is still young after all, and does not have the ability and mind to sum up lessons learned.

As the Spirit Lord read more books and lived in the human world, the more common sense he had, and then he discovered a problem that he had to face.

Nurtured by its carefully prepared nutritional package, De La Loan grew faster than ordinary people, even alchemists' children. Although she is only a month old, she now looks like a three-year-old.

The Holy Kingdom's control over alchemists is relatively strict, and organizations composed of people from the southern dead countries such as the Restoration Army plan to destroy the interior of the Holy Kingdom.

Disguised as an ordinary person like himself, an alchemist unknown to the local authority could easily become the subject of an investigation, and this investigation would not know what would happen.

No matter how stupid the people of the Holy Land are, they can't help but suspect a girl with an apparently abnormal growth rate, which is easy to associate with their lost replacement.

The Spirit Lord is trying to change the logic of the Ash Knights' behavior, and these weapons that only know how to fight are no longer very important to the Spirit Lord, so while teaching Deraloan how to control the Ash Knights, he wants to make them nannies who can help him take care of Deraloan.

But it doesn't even know how to take care of children on its own, so how can it successfully transform the Ash Knight? So it didn't work for a week, but it turned the house into a mess, and eventually, the spirit lord gave up, and slowly waited for Deraloan to be able to take care of himself.

However, before the Spirit Lord made sure that he was fully capable of dealing with the troops sent by the Holy Kingdom without smashing this space, he did not dare to take De La Loan, who had grown up and changed significantly every day, downstairs.

So how to consume the excess energy of De La Loan? The Spirit Lord quickly thought of the subspace, which had built a very safe fantasy realm for De La Loan to play with, and he also had a TV to watch on weekdays.

Obviously, De La Lohan is of course looking at the illusion of himself ruling an empire in subspace, fighting everywhere and looking at the world.

A week later, unfortunately, a small town in the southern part of the Holy Kingdom was attacked by the Restoration Army, and although there were no casualties, only the steam tower was hit by a few alchemical light bullets, and there was not even major damage. However, the top leaders in the south still attach great importance to this.

He was not afraid that the Restoration Army might affect the front-line operations, but they were worried that the inhabitants of the south would flee to the north for fear of terrorist attacks, which would lead to a decrease in the number of inhabitants under their rule, and that they might fall short when it came time to compete with the north for orthodoxy.

So the large-scale investigation began again. The Spirit Lord couldn't stand up to scrutiny when he cleared himself, so he immediately set off to flee to the north, targeting Sanctuary City.

However, after all, this is the territory of the Holy Kingdom, and the escape distance of the Spirit Lord is still not peaceful. When he arrived in Andrew, the largest industrial city in the south, he encountered the hidden forces of the Holy Kingdom and killed the crows.

The Spirit Lord could see at a glance that this was the reconnaissance force used in the Middle-earth Theater of Operations, and it was used by the Middle-earth civilization and the combined army when they were still hostile. It stands to reason that these troops should have been close to being wiped out at the beginning of the war, and I don't know how the people of the Holy Kingdom found them.

These dead crows are the best at assassination, sabotage behind enemy lines, and spying on intelligence, although the spirit lord discovered them in advance, but under the premise of not using powerful alchemy, it is still difficult to get rid of them.

Although they had memorized the map of the city by heart, how could many secret governments publish information about these things on the map given to the people by the council, so the spirit lord and de la Roan were soon trapped in an industrial area.

The enemy used a variety of mobile tower bridges and mobile cooling towers to seal the Spirit Lord in a clearing. There are still many alchemists in this who are manipulating the alchemy matrix, and it seems that the people of the Holy Kingdom seem to have guessed that they did not run to the Duchy of Dunling but came to the Holy Kingdom.

The Spirit Lord unleashed the Knights of Ash from the subspace, forming a circular formation, and the enemies appeared, not only the dead crows, but also the Seraphs and the Angels of Wisdom, as well as a whole team of ascetics.

The incantations that these ascetics chanted were obviously not given to the Spiritual Expeditionary Force by themselves, nor were they created when they first founded the Spiritual Cult.

The Seraphs and Angels of Wisdom walked in both directions, and in the middle appeared an old man in a wheelchair, and the Spirit Lord and he looked at each other across the Dead Raven and the Knights of the Ashes.

“。。。 What shall I call you, sir? Your Excellency? The old man said.

“。。。 It seems that you know that I created the Spiritual Religion? ”

"Yes, some ancient families in Middle-earth have actually been troubled for a long time why the Spirit Church has mastered alchemy, but back then, I didn't want it to be like this, alchemy was only in the hands of those ancient families."

"Later, through a series of archaeological discoveries, the ancient family discovered a group of spiritual missionaries who were earlier than the modern spiritual religion, and they found that this spiritual religion turned out to be a foreign product, but how did this foreign thing from Middle-earth be so similar to the culture of Middle-earth?"

"Later, in order to explore this secret, some of the ancient families disguised their identities to join the spirit cult that was just emerging at that time, and then they learned that the spirit master was not the product of these people's imagination, but the existence of facts."

"And the recent fact that a replacement has been taken away is a good confirmation of your existence. Think about it, what other forces in this Middle Earth can compete with the oldest alchemy family? ”

"So, you're not a Spiritual Sect but someone from one of those old families?"

“。。。 It doesn't hurt to tell you, I am a descendant of the Hanoverian royal family of the Augustus Empire, and although the Spiritual Cult was able to defeat the Augustus Empire, other countries were still eyeing it, so they signed an agreement with the ancient family. The old man said.

"Didn't I hear that it was the Spirit Cult that destroyed the Empire of Augustus?" The Spirit Lord asked.

"Hehe, it's funny, the royal family of the original Augustus Empire has long been a puppet of those treacherous nobles, and the Hannover family would rather have the empire destroyed than completely hand over their ancestors' country to these greedy people." The old man was a little excited.

"Okay, without further ado, Your Excellency, I still believe in the theology you said, and now as long as you hand over the replacement in your hands, we will give you everything you want."

“。。。”

"Please don't try to resist, there's already a blockade around here." The old man said.

"So the Spiritual Sect is no longer the original Spiritual Sect?"

"It's long gone, it's already a combination of our ancient family alliance, the emerging aristocratic forces, and the original three major families of the Spirit Sect. Many people think that the three major families are rebelling against the existence of the Spirit Sect, but in fact, they are the original descendants of the Spirit Sect, and now the three families are almost forgetting their own history. The old man said with a slight mockery.

"You Middle-earth have been so chaotic over the years."

"That's not what you're worried about. Now hand over De La Loan. ”

“。。。 I really don't know who gave you the courage and confidence? You don't think I'm just thinking about the old immortals of the South Loya Empire, right? The Spirit Lord said.

“。。。” The old man was silent, but impatiently gave orders for the people around him to come forward and snatch it. He kept this so-called spirit master's guy and didn't kill it purely because he spied on the power of immortality, but he was a little worried that there would be side effects.

Since this old immortal does not recognize the reality, then let him go to hell and repent well. Oh, by the way, he's the founder of the Spirit Sect, and the Spirit Lord goes to hell, can it be written into the canon, hahaha...

Ha? The old man suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and his chest seemed to be bubbling with some hot liquid, and he subconsciously caught some of the liquid left behind with his hand and lifted it in front of him.

Sanguine.

Are you too excited? Not only was the existence of an immortal who was most likely the spirit lord discovered, but he also received a substitute for the séance carrier.

When the time comes, he will secretly obtain immortality, and he will be able to happily watch his old opponents die one by one, and he will finally be able to control the Holy Kingdom, a huge empire that combines the essence of the Augustus Empire and the special set of alchemy systems and bloodline power of the Spirit Sect.

But why do you feel dizzy, is it because you are too excited?

Suddenly, the sharp pain began to spread rapidly in all directions, and the old man only then thought of an impossible possibility, that is, the wound on his chest.

No, no, no, how is this possible, how is this possible!

He panicked and used his hands to plug the bleeding wound, but the pain left the old body with little strength.

He looked into the distance, countless subspace cracks were generated, countless small subspace storms were sweeping this place, only to see that the spirit lord was at the foot of the remnants of the wise angel, and the left hand was holding a substitute for the séance carrier, and his right hand was dragging the seriously injured body of the seraphic angel slowly towards him.

The alchemists, the angels of death were all in a pool of blood.

"You... What the hell are you! The old man shouted in horror with all the strength he had stored in his body, he hadn't experienced it in a long time.

He seemed to remember that without the Seraph, without those hidden powers, he was just an ordinary person who was healthier, more energetic, and lived longer than the average old man.

In order to allow himself to live longer, the alchemy matrix inherited by those family families has been replaced by the alchemy matrix that prolongs his life, and the power of those bloodlines has also become thin because he injected too much serum.

The once powerful alchemist, the once ruler is now just an ordinary person.

"Didn't I say, I'm the Spirit Master, the founder of the Spirit Sect." The Spirit Lord walked in front of the old man.

"I didn't want to do this, you forced me to do it."

The Spirit Lord strangled the Seraph's life, then tossed its remains aside, and then put his hand on the old man's head.

"I had no intention of participating in your struggle, but today I suddenly realized that if I want Deraloan to live in this world like Anastasia, and if I want to completely destroy my essence, it seems that the Holy Kingdom is also my goal."

The Spirit Lord looked at the old man's somewhat panicked eyes, presumably if he let this dying old man open his mouth to speak at this time, he would definitely forget the unparalleled confidence just now, and then say words that made him feel disgusting.

In that case, it is better for you to make some contribution to the future holy kingdom.
