Lothar felt like she was sinking into the depths of the ocean, and there was darkness all around.

Only not far in front of me, there was a bright light.

"What the hell are you?"

In the light, a man with his back to him could be seen, dressed in the magnificent Gothic armor of the Holy Cross, but without a helmet, replaced by a crown adorned with jewels and gold crosses.

"Come to me, Lothar, and I will lend you my strength to tide over this."

The man turned, revealing a heroic face.

"Are you using the image of Maximilian?"

Lothar couldn't help but laugh.

The will in the plate armor of the Holy Cross is quite arrogant, obviously hating Maximilian's abandonment of it, and his mind is full of nostalgia for the old master.

Save it, Tsundere has already retired from the environment.

The man didn't reply, and watched Lothar come to him, before slowly raising the scepter in his hand.

Lothar was about to reach out and take it, when he saw the man raise the scepter three inches high, causing him to take it empty.

"What do you mean?"

"Kneel, Lothar, this is the rite of inheritance, just as a monarch bestows a knight and a pope crowns an emperor."

The smile on Lothar's face faded.

"Are you sure?"

"Nature."

The man's expression was calm, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Lothar sneered: "According to my seniority, I am taller than Rudolf I, the first Holy Roman Emperor, are you sure you want me to kneel to you?" ”

The man's face showed a hint of embarrassment, he was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Isn't it the same world, also counting?" ”

"What do you think?"

Lothar asked rhetorically.

Even if he doesn't have this identity, it is impossible for him to kneel on an object.

The man was silent for a long time, slowly released the scepter, and watched it fall into Lothar's hands: "Go and fight." ”

Lothar turned and left without looking back.

He slowly opened his eyes.

On the plate armor of the Holy Cross, the sacred pattern has been twisted into an inverted five-pointed star, an inverted cross, and other patterns.

A black mist like a living one enveloped him like Medusa's snake hair.

This 300-year-old relic enshrined in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna has been completely transformed into a magic artifact.

The Sassari thugs who surrounded Lothar only felt that they were facing a giant of the dark world, and they couldn't raise the slightest idea of resisting.

The difference in strength between the two is too big.

"Stand down!"

The crowd lined up, and the Sassari wolves bowed their heads to greet the comer.

It was a blonde man in a black trench coat, with handsome features and a majestic presence.

The centurion, who had fought yesterday, also stepped forward to salute and respectfully.

Judging by his attitude, it is the top of the Sassari family who came, and he is by no means an ordinary thug.

"You're still going to use the dark powers?"

The man said with interest.

Lothar could feel the terrifying power of the other party's body like a silent volcano, and this was definitely a powerful presence that surpassed all the pure-blood werewolves who appeared last night.

Lothar felt that even Valentina might not be able to beat him.

He frowned, and as the other party approached, the contact of the breath deepened, and he realized that it was not necessarily, but definitely not to win.

An opponent of this specification, even if he takes out the means to press the bottom of the box, it is difficult to say whether he can win.

Lothar asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"You can call me Victor."

The man came to Lothar and said with a gentle expression: "Lothar, I've heard your name, you fought well last night, and the prestige of the Flame Demon Wolf resounded throughout Lombardy - I thought you should be the secret weapon hidden by the Saluzo family, but if you think about it, if it is really a secret weapon, Saluzo will not let you fool around like this." ”

Lothar didn't reply, waiting for the rest of the conversation.

The man clasped his hands to his chest and frowned slightly: "Lothar, I admit that you have some ability, but the current situation is obviously our advantage, do you really plan to fight us to the end for that Bolognese woman?" ”

"I have caused you so much loss, and you have lost so much face, that you are still willing to recruit me? It's not like you Sassari style. ”

Lothar narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully studying the centurion of the wolf clan in front of her, "You're from the Yaksi family, right?" ”

The man snapped his fingers and smiled, "Being able to come up with this proves that you are not a stupid person, so, I also hope that you can make a smart choice." ”

"What choice?"

"Join us, or rather, join our cause, people of insight should know by now that it is impossible for a scattered wolf clan to become a climate, don't look at your Saluzzo is still quiet, but don't forget, Savoy, next door to your Saluzzo, there is a camp of Holy Church Knights."

"Even if the Apennine states are united, they are only a medium-sized country, and the two neighbors are eyeing us, and if the internal friction continues, you should know very well where the future of the wolf clan will go."

"We will build a united, powerful, wolf-supreme state, an unprecedented feat and the first step in our revival of the Roman glow. At such a critical moment, your girlfriend from the Bologna family, with such a good talent, only thinks about fighting for a sheep. ”

Victor's tone was sarcastic.

Lothar chuckled: "Look, you think that ordinary people are sheep, and the wolf clan is born to eat sheep, but you haven't thought about how many people are there in the entire Apennine wolf clan combined?" ”

The number of people in a small family is often only tens, hundreds, and hundreds of medium-sized families, only a big family like Bologna, which is close to the upper wolf clan, has only exceeded a thousand, and as for a large family with a number of more than 10,000, there is only one Yakxi family.

Lothar then said, "Do you think it's feasible to use a wolf clan with a total of 100,000 to rule over tens of millions of ordinary people? ”

Victor was a little surprised: "What's not feasible?" Haven't you all been like this for so many years? ”

"Times are changing with each passing day, that is, the country composed of ordinary people like sheep in your mouth is now pressing you like a boulder to breathe, you should know very well that the potential of human beings, as well as their huge base, sooner or later will wipe out the advantage of the wolf clan's individual combat superiority."

The wolf clan can be understood as a feudal aristocracy.

In the past, knights equipped with high-value iron armor and war horses could slaughter farmers like mowing grass, and the same was true for the wolf clan.

But now, the widespread use of firearms is rapidly erasing the gap between the low-level wolf clan and the human army, and many wandering wolf clans, when they go to cities outside the Apennines, have to be wolves with their tails between their legs, for fear of being excluded by the identity of the wolf clan.

Viktor sneered: "If it weren't for the Holy Knights, no matter how many ordinary people were, it would be impossible for them to threaten the wolf lord. ”

Lothar shook his head and said: "But there is no if in this world, sooner or later, the wolf clan will no longer be able to override humans, instead of continuing to think about the supremacy of the wolf clan, it is better to seek coexistence." ”

Coexistence is also a difficult path.

But at the very least, there is a way out where you can see the light of day.

"It's a pity that I was trying to convince you to join us. But now it seems that your mind is as trite and weak as the rebellion of those Basilicata. ”

Veneto was willing to go to such lengths to prove that he really wanted to subdue Lothar.

When it comes to large-area destruction spells, the wolf clan has always been a shortcoming, and in the European War, large-area destruction spells are absolutely essential.

Just figure out how exactly Lothar did it. If it is really talented, then it is time to consider whether it is possible to expand this talent to the size of a "family" by pairing and breeding.

"I'll give you one last chance."

Lothar sneered, "There's no need for that. ”

"Then go die."

Victor burst out in an instant, his terrifying muscles pierced through the black clothes, and the crazy wolf hair instantly covered his whole body, and two sharp white bone blades burst out of his arms, slashing at Lothar's neck.

The black mist immediately turned into dragon heads full of scales and armor around Lothar.

The two dragon heads bit the white bone blade in Victor's hand one on the left and one on the right, and the rest of the dragon heads gathered in the demonic flames in their mouths, which was the body of the demon dragon that the dark power communicated with the dragonborn bloodline in Lothar's body.
