Chapter 51: "Advisor" Fernando Jr
In the Temple of Silver and Tin, there may be a lot of knights who are controlled by the Fire Demon.
However, these fire demon tokens without intelligence, without the fire demon personally controlling them, are actually not much different from dungeon monsters without intelligence. After they were brought in and brought together, a single shot from the Flame Butterfly was enough to bury them all.
As for the Fire Demon itself, it had fallen into a brief slumber under the control of another Twilight Path Transcendent. Even after such a big commotion, it still didn't wake up.
And after a long time...... When the old man in the black robe walked slowly, it was empty.
He wasn't too late to let the intruder go.
- The old man did it on purpose.
Fernando Bloomberg Jr. was not of great aristocratic origin. Although he was also of aristocratic origin, his father, Fernando Sr., was just a down-and-out viscount who had sold his family's land. He was able to get to this point now, not only because of his talent in the Dusk Path, but also because he was usually cautious enough.
If you run into an enemy head-on, you'll have to fight. If you let go of the other party directly, it is your own responsibility; But if you fight the opponent directly......
Little Fernando is now a fifth-level transcendent!
As the head of the first school department of the Psychic Tower, the new Earl of Bloomberg, honorary colonel, and deputy minister of the Ministry of Railways, he is now only one step away from succeeding the black phase!
It's all such a big shot, what kind of life are you playing.
Coping with coping responsibilities has been ...... Come and take a look, lest Queen Louise ask a question and she will not be able to answer what is happening outside.
He vigilantly manipulated the ghosts, scattering them from afar, searching the surroundings - these ghosts were the ones he urgently intercepted when the knights were transformed into fire knights, and became his own spirit servants.
After confirming that the enemy had left, the old man cautiously approached and carefully sensed the remnants of the Dao power around him.
The old man couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
- Because he not only perceived the remnants of the extremely strong dedication path, but even vaguely sensed divinity!
“…… Is it magic? No, it's not like ......."
Fernando Jr. muttered.
So, is it a powerful illusion of the path of dedication?
The old man quickly recognized the other party's identity.
It should be that there is a passing dedication path illusion demon who senses the birth of the fire demon, so come and take a look...... I hope so. Rather, it can only be so.
Because he wouldn't have been able to do anything else either.
Little Fernando will appear here, more as a limiter for the Fire Demon.
A lot of his power is used to seal the Flame Demon, and some of his power is used to protect the queen and prince. He himself did not have much fighting power left. If there are too many enemies, or if it's too much to deal with, I'm afraid he'll have to free the fire demon and run away.
In that case, the fire demons that are wreaking havoc on the Isle of Glass will probably destroy the city completely...... The teacher will definitely be upset.
His teacher is the black phase of this generation, and he has the hope of becoming the next generation of black faces. Now there is only one opponent who can compete with him.
This trip to Avalon was to brush up on his qualifications under the arrangement of his teacher. Because his teacher has lived for almost three hundred years, he plans to imitate the first black phase and transform himself into the body of the undead. Until then, he needs to compete with another eldest lady.
Although he was over seventy years old this year, in terms of the standard lifespan of a transcendent in the Dusk Path, this could only be regarded as the prime of life at best. The fifth-level Dusk Path Transcendent can live at least one hundred and fifty years old...... If you use potions to prolong your life, you can easily live to be two or three hundred years old. As for the decay and decay of the body, that in itself contributes to the perception of the path of twilight.
Without knowing the pain of aging, one cannot feel the weight of life and the mystery of death.
Little Fernando is not yet a hundred years old today. If he can succeed to the position of black minister, he can stay in this position for at least thirty or forty years.
…… Otherwise, leave it alone.
Looking at the land and palace that had been completely destroyed by Weili and had directly carved out a long tunnel, the old man decided to turn a blind eye.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, it is a problem with the plan made by His Majesty the King now.
General Karl was killed and turned into a fire demon, which directly caused the knights of the Round Table and the fake princess to be burned in the fire. While the "dolls" could have made another one at any time, they didn't carry any extra material this time – it would be bad if they were discovered. Now the Golem Master in the rear army is already urgently making new dolls, but it is too late now.
This led directly to the collapse of the original plan.
Because there was no "Princess Isabel" to resist the pressure and surrender voluntarily, the royal palace engulfed in flames and the knights of the Round Table who were assimilated by the fire demons...... Instead, it turned the Avalons from fear to anger.
Even if the Star Antimony Army easily penetrated Avalon's weak army head-on, even if the Colossus of War had already driven into the Glass Isle, even if these rebels didn't even have a real top commander...... But they are still fighting bloody street battles with all their might.
- Three days of bloody fighting, without the slightest willingness to surrender.
Even civilians were infected, and their original fear and resistance gradually turned into anger. The descendants of these former rebels who fought against the giants are now reawakened to their blood...... That kind of monstrous anger made little Fernando not want to touch it at all.
It's just the little villages that no one cares about, and if you kill them cleanly, no one will know where they are. But it's not the same on Wangdu Glass Island.
Even the most brutal Star Antimony General did not dare to attack the civilians lightly - the war correspondents on the Iris side were like flies that smelled, and even before the Star Antimony's vanguard arrived, the Iris reporters had already arrived.
Little Fernando didn't dare to think that if they took any photos and went back, they would be able to make up something outrageous. And if it is against journalists, it is even more serious.
Avalon and Star Antimony have no grudges after all, and there is actually very little support for this war at home. It was only because of the military's guarantee of a quick victory that this somewhat risky plan was finally carried out - for three purposes, to gain the support of the Founders' family, to obtain friendly trade relations between the ice-free port of Avalon and the Cult, and to divert the conflict between the domestic alchemists and demon scholars.
Now that there is such a trouble, I am afraid that these three are a bit problematic.
And if you attack the civilians, even if it is not an afterthought of the church...... I'm afraid that even the civilian population of my country will strongly oppose it.
Because of this, relying on the slingers of the Star Antimony Army, those Monitors, Light Cavalry, and Law Wizards who relied on residential areas to initiate street battles were obviously inferior professions, but they caused huge trouble to the Star Antimony Army.
The most troublesome is the Lloyd's area.
There are also a few transcendents from other paths, and they are very familiar with the extremely complex terrain of Lloyd's - they even have a lot of alchemy explosives, they can set traps, and they have a lot of experience in street fighting and night fighting. After it gets completely dark, the alley of the black hole makes people dare not go deeper.
The street fighting has been stalemate since this morning.
It's four o'clock in the morning...... It's almost dawn.
And after being destroyed by a group of low-level transcendents working together to destroy a colossus, the army commander of Star Antimony seems to have finally relented. He ordered permission to use the Colossus to launch a repressive operation in Lloyd's.
This is 100% a chance to cause accidental injury.
But the results are outstanding.
The Colossus's attacks left the transcendents who relied on the lanes to fight guerrilla attacks with nowhere to hide, and a single attack was enough to completely empty an alley. It was a physical emptiness, and even the buildings were directly wiped out.
With the structural strength of the Avalon building, as long as it is not strengthened by the preservation technique, it will collapse directly the moment it is swept by the scorching flames. A head-on hit is enough to inflict serious or even fatal damage on a fourth-level transcendent, and for civilians and low-level transcendents, it can be fatal if it just touches the edge.
- Anyway, it's already started, killing once is killing, and killing all is killing.
Fernando Jr. thought to himself that when the commander in charge of suppressing Lloyd's came to the Red and White Queens, he would be able to suppress the knights here. As for the griffons at the gate of the Temple of Silver and Tin, they weren't going to touch them...... Because once Avalon is controlled, these white-feathered griffins are trophies.
If the Star Antimony had their griffon legion, how strong it would be!
Griffons blessed with alchemic products...... That must be much stronger than the original usage on Avalon's side!
But who knew that Karl could be assassinated inexplicably!
He had been walking away for less than five minutes, and when he looked back, his teammates had turned into flames and had not sent a distress signal. If he hadn't been with the queen and prince at that time, he would have protected them in time...... I'm afraid that both of them will also be burned to death and made into puppets by the out-of-control fire demons.
As a result, the griffons, which were supposed to be trophies, turned out to be formidable enemies.
The main forces that rebelled were the high-ranking transcendents in the school and the students. Together with the pure-blooded griffons on the Griffon's Bridge, they have all but wiped out the small wave garrison in the Red and White Queens.
They even launched several waves of attacks against the Temple of Silver and Tin, but they were easily intercepted by those Fire Demon Knights.
Thankfully, the fire demon is out of control and the griffin is crazy...... But with the Knights of the Round Table, who were infused by the Fire Demons, and the spirits he urgently summoned, it was enough to hold the Temple of Silver and Tin before the arrival of the Great Army.
It looked as if he hadn't done anything – but it wasn't meant for him to do that.
Fernando Jr. stands out with a pendulum.
- I'm afraid it's impossible to make meritorious service now...... Anyway, let's shake the pot first.
The slaughter of civilians is the pot of the army commander, the poor implementation of the plan is due to General Karl's own unauthorized departure, and it is normal for the vanguard troops to not be able to defeat the white-feathered griffin and the transcendent teachers and students, and the root cause is because the "spare puppet" was not prepared in advance, considering the possibility that the fake Isabel might be assassinated.
And as an overseer and protector, it is enough for him to control the fire demon and not go crazy and protect the prince and queen.
As for the "unidentified demigod of the path of devotion", little Fernando didn't even want to touch it.
He didn't want to take part in this inexplicable war either...... If it weren't for the sake of qualifications, what transcendent person of the Dusk Path would be willing to take such a big risk and run so far?
…… So what should you do?
So little Fernando thought about it, and manipulated the earth to rise again and cover the tunnels and walls that had been opened before, so that the surroundings looked similar to before. Preservation was then used again to completely solidify the building and the ground.
So that after dawn, no one will realize that there was a battle here last night.
No one would know that the Fire Demon Knight in this Temple of Silver and Tin had been almost emptied...... Relying on the residual power of these Fire Demon Knights in the previous two days, they could probably stop them from continuing to try.
Not really...... It's not impossible to really shoot......
Fernando Jr. was still a little reluctant.
The strong adaptability of the dusk path had already made him extremely tired of this thing that had completely gotten out of control and was getting more and more troublesome. It is all by relying on the rationality provided by the balanced path that he can think about what he will do next.
Now all he can do is done.
The rest is not your responsibility if you don't interfere. Once he intervenes, if he doesn't do it well, he will take the blame, and if he does it well, it will only be the icing on the cake - so he thinks very clearly, he just needs to protect the queen and the prince. Nothing else.
He can't do anything until the "New Isabel Doll" arrives with the big army-
Fortunately, Princess Isabel escaped, so the doll that was transported after that can be said to be "Isabel who escaped was recaptured". That sounds a lot more reliable than "escaping unharmed from a palace burned by the demons......
On the other side, Ivas led the crowd through the Red Queen.
There are even more enemies on the White Queen's side, which seem to have flowed from the Lloyd's side; The Red Queen side is much less. Ivus and the others walked all the way through, but they didn't encounter any blockers from the formation. The few scattered soldiers were also easily knocked down by them.
Neither Ivas nor Olive, who were not good at fighting, did not make a move—the Advisors and Grape alone easily routed them.
The advisors are very skilled in the mastery of spells. Although they are both at the third level, they are obviously much more skilled than Sherlock.
The most obvious thing is that when he casts spells, he only opens his mouth slightly, and only sings in a low voice with the voice he hears, and he can't see the shape of his mouth clearly. He also makes feints to mislead his enemies about his own cast time - his chant timing is completely at odds with the cast gesture, an eye-opener for Ivus.
Obviously, this is something that players simply can't do. And since Ivus came to this world, he hasn't experienced a few battles between truly transcendent beings - and Mr. Advisor obviously fought from a very low level.
Sherlock may be because his main profession is a lawyer, and his spells must be heard in order for them to work. So after he became a mage, he also used to chant loudly...... This is a problem that Sherlock will have to be reminded to correct later.
And Grape's fighting style inherited from Mr. Advisor.
Her chanting voice was also so low that she couldn't hear it at all. Even with the fat body of Microft, she is very dexterous in dodging - Ivas also noticed that her fighting style is very rare, which is centered on preservation and petrification to build a barrier.
This is also known as the control shield milk. This is quite common among players, and it is a very mainstream and even a cancer construction in 3V3. Constantly strengthen your defenses and control the enemy...... Ivus even noticed that the "Cursed Baby" summoned by a demon scholar was easily intercepted by her, and even the shield was not broken at all.
That's a fourth-level tank class burst spell that won't die if you eat it!
Defend with grapes, and the advisors attack. They defeated three waves of enemies along the way and finally arrived at the Chapel of Saint-Genevele.
And the key was with Ivus—he had asked for the sword from the other side when he first met Bishop Mathers.
Now is the time to apply.
Ivus inserted the key into the main entrance of the chapel, injecting a little light attribute and a fire attribute mana.
I saw two tree-like lines of gold and red flashing, completing the spell pattern on the gate.
With a slight twist of the key, he opened the closed door of the chapel.
