Howl, the enemy spy, who sent a signal for Sephiroth.

The leader of the rebels, Sephiroth, saw the signal and led the army to speed in the direction of the signal.

And in front of them was the lich Eddard, and his army of necromancy.

And among this army of necromancy, there is a death knight named Lancelot.

......

On the other hand, Cross was also fully aware of the corresponding information.

He decided to lure the enemy army and then completely annihilate it.

Cross's bait is the Cross puppet.

......

The Lich Eddard's army of necromancy was the first to arrive.

In addition to hundreds of skeleton warriors, this army of necromancy also includes bone dragons.

Eddard the Lich is menacing.

However, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

As a lich and a necromancer in his previous life, Eddard has a keen sense of magic.

Of course, Ed's level is far from Serena's.

Still, he sensed some magic fluctuations.

It's just that it's already late.

Suddenly, two dragon roars rang out from the sky.

The two red dragons flew towards the Skeleton Legion, and at the same time, the necks were already lit up with a fiery metallic glow.

Red Dragon Breath will appear throughout the battlefield.

Sure enough, the scorching pillar of fire poured down, and the skeleton warrior and the bone dragon were instantly covered in a sea of fire before they could react.

While fire can't destroy these necromantic creatures, it can cause them chaos.

Immediately after, Cross himself appeared.

Cross is like a ghost in the night, weaving through an army of skeletons.

Everywhere he went, skeletons fell.

Cross uses the power of his special bloodline to slowly tear apart the army of the lich Eddard.

In addition, he also sensed the presence of the Lich Eddard by absorbing the magic of the skeleton warriors.

This time, almost in an instant, the magic of the lich Eddard was absorbed by Cross.

Losing Eddard's magical control, the army of skeletons began to scatter and stir.

Cross wanted to kill them all.

However, something strange happened.

All the skeleton warriors and the only remaining skeletal dragon suddenly became neat again, as if a group of miscellaneous soldiers had a leader again.

"Lord Cross. ”

A familiar but unfamiliar voice rang out.

The voice is a lot like Lancelot, but this one is ethereal.

Cross looked towards the source of the sound.

It wasn't a skeleton warrior, but a necromantic creature that was more advanced than a skeleton warrior.

Death Knight.

"Lancelot?" asked Cross.

"Yes, it's me, Lord Cross. ”

"You...... You've become a Death Knight?"

"Well, I was killed by the Lich, however, he turned me into his Death Knight.

It's just that now that his magic has been lifted, my body is no longer under any control. ”

Cross excitedly ran to Death Knight Lancelot.

"Great!"

"Lord Cross, I'll take you to Miss Nia. ”

"Nia isn't dead either?"

"Yes, she's not dead either.

However, she's trapped by herself, and maybe you can wake her up. ”

"Okay, take me there. ”

"Yes. ”

After arranging the team with the Death Knight Lancelot, Cross went to where Nia was.

......

"That's it!" said Death Knight Lancelot, pointing to a dark red crystal in front of him.

"That?" Cross wondered.

"Yes, Your Excellency.

It wasn't crystal, it was werewolf blood.

The other two werewolves spilled blood on her in order to protect her.

And Nia had already activated the blood corruption at that time.

The blood turned into crystals and enveloped Nia.

However, this crystal is so hard that the bone dragon can't do anything about it. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"I've heard from those two werewolves that the blood of the Bloodclan can unlock this crystal. ”

"Bloodline?" Cross immediately thought of Tina, who was on the team this time.

......

When Tina learns that her blood can save Nia, she immediately donates it.

And the crystal that enveloped Nia made a "zilazila" sound after receiving Tina's blood.

Soon, the crystal melted completely, and Nia, who had been sealed in the dust, also woke up.

When Nia saw Cross, she immediately told the information about the destruction of the Vanguard, and at the same time expressed her own reasoning.

This so-called rebel army should be the army of the empire itself.

This is the bait that the Empire's minor emperor has released to the various dukes and Count Cross in order to consolidate his rule.

Death Knight Lancelot also supports Nia's speculation.

Conya's speculation left Cross in endless thought.

Is it necessary to do this?

The little emperor was originally the orthodox bloodline of the royal family, and it was no problem to succeed to the throne, was it really necessary to wipe out all the dukes and earls?

This will greatly weaken the strength of the entire empire, and even plunge the empire into the catastrophe of national destruction.

However!

If Nia's speculation is true, then there must be something wrong with the ruling group of the Empire.

At least, this core ruling group and the little emperor are not on one side.

It is also possible that this core ruling group may want to seize the throne.

However, this is only speculation after all.

In order to be able to completely set out the conspiracy of the empire.

Cross decided to hide all his forces on the flanks.

Then, let Serena control the Cross puppet and continue eastward.

Not long after Serena's troops set out, they were confronted by the rebels.

In addition, Cross's body, which was hidden on the flank, sensed the special presence in the enemy army.

"Lord Cross, do you see it? It's the monster with a lot of tentacles.

He was the one who killed our werewolf Watson. Nia said.

"See. ”

Cross knew that that monster was very terrifying, and he was probably the only one who could deal with that monster.

However, he couldn't kill the monster just yet. Cross has more important plans.

......

The Cross puppet surrenders to the enemy forces under the control of Serena.

The enemy, of course, did not believe it so easily, and the commander who compared the enemy forces was Sephiroth.

And when Sephiroth appeared, Cross and everyone around him were shocked.

Sephiroth intends to kill the Cross puppet.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion in the rear of the rebel army, and the entire rebel army seemed to be giving way to a small force.

At the same time, Sephiroth also stopped trying to kill the Cross puppet.

All the rebels bowed their heads and respectfully waited for the appearance of their greatest leader.

......

Finally, surrounded by several black-robed guards, the real leader appeared.

Nia and Cressia, who had excellent night vision, couldn't help but exclaim the moment they saw the man, "Lord Gawain!?"

At the same time, as Sephiroth knelt, all the rebels fell to their knees and shouted, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
