"That's ...... Royal Guards......"

Raymond also raised his gaze in that direction and whispered to himself.

Although he had never really entered the core center of the Imperial Army, his thirty years of military career had already made him aware of all the secrets in it, and he didn't need to take a second look, he also knew that the knights who were stepping out of the light gate were the legendary Imperial Royal Guards...... Countless glimmers of light rolled and formed wings behind the figures, causing their bodies covered in armor to stand still in the air, like the angels who had descended into the mortal world in legend.

Royal Guard.

This legion, which is not very prominent, is composed of the most elite knights of the Golden Flower Knights of Illyria. The ordinary name may not reflect its inner meaning, after all, in the nearly 1,000 years since the disappearance of the Elector Legion, they undoubtedly represent some kind of pinnacle of imperial knighthood...... Even though for a long time, the evaluation of knight ranks has been greatly relaxed, but the royal family has never relaxed the selection and construction of this legion, and every member of them has at least the strength of a high knight - only one step away from the great knight, the strength of a genuine high knight, and in terms of spiritual power, it also has outstanding potential.

Each of them must not only be as skilled in swordsmanship as an ordinary knight, but must also have a considerable knowledge of magic to help them use magical items against troublesome opponents, including mages, in addition to the strict requirements of their age, which Raymond knows all about because he had a chance to be one of them when he was younger, but missed out on swordsmanship and age.

Such strict standards have kept the legion small in number. It is said that there were never more than 300 in the most powerful period in history. They are the last line of defence for royalty, but they are also rumored to be

Didn't think of it. The tentacles of the rebels have reached such a place...... Exactly is a false command. Or is it some kind of magic to control it?or...... But in any case, the strength of the other party is already unimaginably huge, and the only hope for these people can only be this mysterious and powerful young man in front of him, if he can take the marquise away, then there is still room for redemption, otherwise...... It seemed impossible for him to let himself kill the child.

The throbbing pain in his ribs and the violent coughing made him have to lower his head again, slowly wiping the blood from the corners of his lips, and he couldn't help but smile wryly as he looked at his companion who had fainted all over the place.

Think about these. Does it still make sense?

The time that belongs to him in this play has come to an end, and the situation is no longer something that can be controlled by knights or secret agents or other ordinary people, and now, the only thing most people here can do is to be a spectator, observing in vain what happens in vain.

But apparently not everyone had the same consciousness as the old knight.

Tahi narrowed her eyes and stared at the shining aura in the sky, although the person had already said what could have happened, but when this scene actually appeared in front of her. The female knight couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air—especially noticing that behind the figures in armor or robes that had jumped out of space one by one, there was a strange and huge thing.

The shape of the thing looked like a large piece of metal, made into an irregular, sharp pyramid. The angular edges shimmered with a faint red sheen in the night sky, but in the eyes of the Being, who had blessed the arcane vision, it was dazzlingly bright—a magical creation. Almost the only time in the life of a female knight!

These mages as reinforcements obviously could not have carried a useless thing. The most reasonable guess is that it is a magic weapon. Judging from the way it floats in the air, it is likely to be something similar to a golem...... However, the usual golems should have a pair of wings if they want to fly - even the legendary dragon golems are no exception, because the golems tend to weigh a lot of weight, and the long-term supply of flying magic to support such a heavy item is a huge burden on the circle that supplies energy. If it ignores this, then the amount of energy it can produce is large enough to be discarded.

Twenty high-ranking knights, twelve mages, and an unimaginable magic weapon...... With such a scale, even if you compare it head-on to an archmage, you may not fall behind, right?

The speculation in her heart made the female knight turn her head, trying to verify something from that person.

But the man spoke first—not to her, but to the sword master, "Hey, didn't you say there are twenty mages?" he raised his chin, and the confusion in his voice sounded very provocative: "It seems that there are only twelve here?"

Even if the legend says that every archmage is a strange being, this guy's appearance can already be called 'crazy', right?

Tahiya gritted her teeth fiercely, and struggled to restrain herself from drawing her sword and stabbing it in that hateful face, and then questioned him about the bad impulse of the reduced number of enemies—

However, she did not dare.

At this time, of course, she could think that the Edward in front of her was probably the Edward...... The legendary, the young archmage of Tumenis. So, not to mention a sword stabbing it, even glaring at that guy would probably consume all her courage.

But even if he really had the strength of the archmage level, was he sure that he could fight against the enemy in this sky?

Salazi was silent at the mocking question......

When the portal appeared, he was a little proud in his heart, proud of the arrival of reinforcements is such a warning, just to block the other party in the encirclement, if the other party will start to flee because of this, it can give him a little chance to save face...... However, at this moment, the man's smile became more and more pleasant, and Salazi could see that this look did not seem to be fake at all, but purely natural.

How much difference is twelve, or twenty mages?

Not for a Juggernaut, if the two are in different positions, he will only think about how to escape...... The damage that plural mages can do is definitely not as simple as adding up the numbers. With the right coordination, they can often exert two or three times as much destructive power, or even incalculable damage. And now add the knights of the guards, who can also use magic weapons and items.

But the enemy in front of him didn't care about it.

Or rather...... That's what he's for.

With the abilities of a powerful spellcaster. They could have fled, for example, by flying or destroying the not-so-thick wall in front of them, but he hadn't moved a foot since he appeared!

A certain speculation suddenly crossed Salazie's mind, and the rock-solid hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It's not that the reinforcements came quickly, but that the terrible guy didn't plan to leave at all...... The reinforcements that arrive are his new prey!

No way?

Unfortunately, however...... That person. It's already begun. At the moment when the door of space opened, the invisible tentacles of the mind had expanded, encompassing the surrounding area with a radius of four hundred feet, twisting, extending, weaving...... In the end, it turned into two points of silver light like light in his eyes.

The huge metal cone-like magic vessel instantly expanded into a turquoise luster, enveloping the surroundings of one hundred and twenty feet.

That's a spell nullification enchantment. And apparently at least the Spell Upgrade and the expansion of these two super magic arrays can make at least the spells of the five or six rings unable to produce any effect, usually speaking, even if it is a real archmage. Most of his attacks were also confined to this range, and the spells of the Seven or Eight Rings, whether launched by himself or using scrolls, were extremely costly. It is rarely used in the first round of temptation and containment.

In addition, the twelve mages have also done their own corresponding spell defenses. Reduces energy damage and protects against arrows. Shields, and at least five or six triggered protection spells...... The telemancer's gaze swept over the glow, and the corresponding memories floated from his mind, but he was only a slur.

That meant nothing to him.

"Well, it looks pretty good, it's a lot stronger than those trash fish......

He spoke softly, but there was a muffled grunt and a shrill howl in the sky. The inexplicable psychic power rushed into the thirty-two almost defenseless heads along the invisible tentacles, and the power contained in them was entangled and churned—the ground fell into a terrifying silence for a moment, and almost everyone could only stare and open their mouths...... Looking at the sky like a dying fish, the tall guys suddenly curled up.

The dull pop was a bit like banging on a rotten wooden barrel.

But with each sound, one or two heads were exploding into a surging fountain of blood, and the effects of the flying spell dissipated as life faded, and headless corpses rolled down like stones!

Until now, they had been strong and noble Imperial knights, but in an instant they had become a five-headed corpse, and the terrible sight of death was even far beyond the bursting fireball, and fear was like an invisible giant claw, tearing at everyone's heart, pushing them into a trance, and the little hope that had just gathered because of the arrival of reinforcements had been crushed into fine powder in an instant,

Only the initiator of this qiē lamented with dissatisfaction - although it was not without effect, after all, the expected headshot scene did not happen. In particular, more than a dozen mages were just screaming because of severe headaches, but the magic energy hidden in their souls eventually eroded the power of their psychic abilities.

It seems that Isgandar's tricks don't stop at the so-called 'Imperial Knights'.

"Damn it......" The remaining knights in the sky were clearly well trained, and barely resisting the churning pain in their brains began to draw their wands and scrolls from their belts, but before that, a second blow had already come from the ground...... Thousands of tiny crystal balls flew out of Edward's fingertips, and when they crossed a distance of a few hundred feet, they had already swelled into a crystal ball the size of a human head, and then exploded! Thousands of tiny crystal shotguns sprayed and ravaged the surroundings, and the gap between the helmets was only a few fingers wide became the knight's fatal weakness, and the screams suddenly stopped, and several of the remaining knights fell from the air!

And although the magic shields around the mages were unfurled one after another, and the sparks of energy flowed one after another, the enemy's attack was obviously carefully calculated—the spells of several mages had just barely formed and they were all fighting back under this interference, making them join the ranks of the falling!

"Hell, hell," one of the mages shouted, "did you hear that?"

The shouting made several mages around them frown—on the battlefield. Especially in the confrontation between spellcasters, the strictest rules usually bind the words of the mages. Because their vocalizations need to be reserved for any one spell that may be voice-driven, and other words may distract them. Especially in the confrontation with a strong enemy.

But the mage didn't seem to stop at all, "Didn't you hear that? Hey!" he screamed until everyone glared at him, "That buzz! it's not magic...... Look in his eyes!"

As the leader, the mage grinded his teeth, he almost thought that this guy was controlled by some magic, but the other party's words after that surprised him suddenly!

buzzing, and the man's eyes...... Even at a distance of a few hundred feet, even in the silence of the night, those two points of silver starlight were so bright and cold.

“…… Psychic powers!Everyone, will protection!"

He screamed almost subconsciously. But the Adam's apple trembled and restrained, and the man's face became exceptionally clear in the field of vision...... Cheng Dù, who was so clear that he was a little disgusted—the mage subconsciously bit the tip of his tongue regardless of whether it would affect the effect of the spell in the future, letting the numb sting remind him that this was not a dream, but that he was in bad luck—although deep down, he seriously hoped that this was just a nightmare, or at least he could wake up.

In fact, it was just a rumor, something that only arose after the destruction of the Celestial Thunder Archmage Tower, about the young mage of Tumenis...... Some people swear that they have carried out a lot of intelligence spying on him. Claiming that he was not using a spell, but rather a skill derived from the soul-absorbing monsters in the Dark Lands, the evil ways passed down by the monsters gave him powers that were difficult to understand and even more difficult to defend against......

Reach out and squeeze it, so that the protective spells in the two rings on your finger are activated. He immediately stretched out his wand to the figure.

Really, yes...... I don't know except for that guy...... You shouldn't be so unlucky, right?

The pain in his head and the messy thoughts made the flow of the magic net extremely obscure, and he hadn't waited for him to dive into his mind. The man had already turned his gaze to him.

"Know me?" he asked. The voice was slight, but it crossed the distance of a few hundred feet between the two. Echoed in the ears of every mage. The sound was so strange that the moment I heard it. Several mages nodded blankly, and listened to him continue:

"If you know me, don't move, if you move, I'll kill you. ”

Hint......

The mage's leader bit his tongue and let the blood flow from the corners of his mouth, but at least it helped him clear his mind and not continue to wallow in the surging fear!

Edward frowned.

The mage's roar was hoarse and low, but it was clearly not a meaningless roar—it was actually very clear and accurate, but in purgatory...... The language of the devil.

The inheritance of magic in this world is complex and complex, in addition to self-development and innovation, its veins are partly derived from dragons and elves, but some are also from the outer interface, so it is not surprising that a mage is proficient in elven and dragon languages, and even celestial languages, but purgatory and abyssal languages are not very universal.

If you contact the source of these guys......

The thoughts in his heart were racing, Edward's fingertips moved slightly, and the power of the mind control came out of thin air, tearing the mage's body away from the metal!

How could one person's blood render such a huge space?

Certainly not alone.

The mage's blood is nothing more than a guide, and countless plasma is converging from all directions, from the dead corpses of those towns, the wounded, and even the bodies of ordinary soldiers...... As the roar spread, some of the soldiers began to lose their souls, and then drew their blades and slashed at their comrades!

The screams of misery flew all around, and blood gathered in the air...... The dark red hexagram is already faintly visible!

In the midst of the six rays, a vague shadow was also forming, but it was not the majestic figure that Edward knew, but naked, similar to a human, except for the huge curved horns on the top of his head, and he let out a grinning sneer, as if he was looking at a psychic mancer. But a blood-red shadow connected it to the baby beside Edward, held by the female knight!

"Thou, do you know my name?" a faint roar echoed through the space. As a result, there was a sudden fluctuation in the surrounding crowd, and the soldiers fell to the ground inexplicably and panicked, pressed their faces against the ground, and whispered into a grand voice: "The thousand-year-old emperor, the ruler of all eternity, is my emperor......"

What is it?

Tahiya retreated in horror and almost threw the child out of her hand, but just as she looked at the bloodline and was overwhelmed, the cold voice suddenly took over all her hearing, completely obscuring the terrible chant-like unison!

"I'm annoyed!"

It was just a sound, not loud, but the space was shaking...... The blood beads floating in the air scattered violently, turning into a rain of blood. (To be continued......)
