I will be crowned king

The shocked Robert panicked and even made obvious mistakes in his dodge movements, almost falling into the sea of ​​​​fire raging around him.

Even so, it was still a step too late... As the corners of the girl's mouth raised slightly, the four Judgment Knights who were surrounding her at the same time seemed to have noticed something strange, and they scattered around.

Without the cover of his teammates, Robert, as the captain, could only further distance himself from the girl and rejoin everyone.

Freya, who sneered as if she didn't care, did not launch a pursuit, and even the flames hovering around her retreated a lot, looking very harmless.

"What's going on? Everyone reports the situation!"

Robert growled angrily. Although he guessed that the situation was abnormal, this was different from the team members' refusal to obey orders - this involved his own authority as the captain.

But no one gave an answer because...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……!!!!"

A shrill scream exploded behind Robert. His pupils suddenly shrank and he suddenly turned around, only to see the team members who were holding high the military flag and calling for the storm were clutching their chests, sweating profusely on their bodies, and their painful bodies were shaking violently like chaff.

Almost in the blink of an eye... the player's chest, neck, hands and feet suddenly glowed with an unnatural, golden-red light - like steel burned by flames, like a forging hammer that had been struck violently.

Robert, who was shocked and horrified, suddenly felt that he smelled some kind of burnt, smoky aroma filling the air.

"boom--!!!!"

A huge explosion sounded, and a powerful Judgment Knight who was entrusted with the important task of ending the war by Robert was directly exploded into a ball of human-shaped torches.

His flesh and blood was burned away and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye... The bones were like firewood in a fireplace, breaking, shattering, and eventually turned into gravel and dust, scattered and scattered among the embers.

The whole process only took about half a minute, not even thirty seconds.

The shocked Robert was stunned. He even forgot that he was still fighting a blasphemous mage, and that he had just scolded the team members for their incompetence and disobedience to the command... His whole body was immersed in the fear in front of him.

But the real fear has just begun...

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-!!!"

Explosions sounded one after another, and the remaining Judgment Knights turned into dazzling fireballs surrounding Robert without the ability to fight back.

When he regained some sense from the panic, he finally realized that he was the only one left - except for the one who ran out to deliver the message, the entire team had been wiped out!

Unlike the Inquisitors, who often perform tasks alone, the Judgment Knights, although they only have a thousand members, are still an army and are good at collective action and cooperation in combat; conversely, the Judgment Knights who act alone are required in terms of ability and level. Inferior to the judges.

Feeling the increasingly hot air around him, the frightened and uneasy Robert had only the only thought of "escape" in his mind. He decisively dropped the steam gun in his arms and retreated in the opposite direction to the elf girl.

No, that's not right... The reason why Freya Moses Field was able to kill her entire team so easily is because there should be another blasphemous mage besides her in Red Hand Bay... His identity is unknown, his abilities are unknown, but he should have a very strong one. Insight.

It was precisely because of the information He provided that Freya could directly set fire to the enemy she encountered for the first time... But if He was there, how could she escape? !

The more Robert thought about it, the more frightened he became. His body, strengthened by the blood of the Wild Hunt Knight, began to become stiff and weak, and it became more and more difficult to breathe... Even the heat coming from his throat made him tremble with fear.

Looking at the figure fleeing further and further away, the elf girl who had never moved her position slowly raised her right hand. The golden-red fire light rotated on her fingertips, lingering, gathering, and then...

"boom--"

The golden-red light beam flashed through the ruins of Red Hand Bay and penetrated Robert's chest!

The frightened latter didn't even have time to scream, because his lungs and heart and ribs had been burned to ashes.

Still running wildly, he used the inertia to continue sprinting forward. When he lost his balance, his feet slipped and he fell into the sea of ​​boiling fire beside him.

In the blazing white flames, it disappeared without a trace.

Under the dim night sky, Freya Moses Field, who was left alone, silently looked at the still burning streets, and gradually restrained the power she had just released.

After all, she has not recovered completely, and now she cannot spend as much as she did when she was attacked at Beluga Harbor; if she is not careful, her own strength will start to lose control as her emotions heat up. In this regard, the two are actually Interactive... She now had to not only control the level of her anger, but also make sure she didn't use too much power at once.

"How do you feel, Her Majesty Freya I, can you continue to fight?"

Familiar and annoying words rang in her mind, causing the sneering elf girl to frown slightly: "There is not much time, there are still hundreds of Judgment Knights and tens of thousands of Holy War Army, plus a steam airship waiting for us to solve! "

"Yeah..." Freya said calmly: "So instead of continuing to talk about these boring nonsense, it is better to report the intelligence of the surrounding enemies to me as soon as possible."

"Sorry, I'm a little worried about your condition because of someone." The voice continued to deliberately tease: "Louis Bernard has left Red Hand Bay and joined the Grenadier Regiment at the West Gate. He is currently on his way to Go to the outer positions and assemble the New World Army on standby, it will be very safe... for the time being."

"It's not your turn to worry about my safety. Also, just focus on the key points when reporting intelligence next time. Useless information will only waste my precious time - if it were in the Royal Court of Yser, like you Such a ungrateful minister will definitely have his tongue chopped off by my father!"

The elf girl said coldly, but after knowing the information about the young knight's safety, her expression softened a lot, but she still refused to forgive him lightly:

"Don't forget, I said I would kill you... Although I won't do anything to you for the time being because of Louis, it doesn't mean that I won't fulfill my promise!"

"If I discover that you have done anything wrong, taking advantage of Louis' kindness to hurt him, causing him to suffer unexplained losses, sacrifices and humiliations... In the name of Moses Field, I will let you witness with your own eyes the blood descendants of the true God, Yi How terrifying is the anger of the royal family of Seer, Anson Bach!”

………………………………

"Yes, yes...I understand, understand..."

In the basement of the parliament, Anson was sitting at the map table with a wry smile on his face. His helpless eyes seemed to be looking at a young girl who was obviously young but fell in love and couldn't extricate herself.

Well, that seems to be the case.

Although he has awakened his bloodline and possesses power comparable to that of a blasphemous mage—strictly speaking, there is no concept of a “blasphemed mage” among the Ysel elves, after all, they will not evolve due to the awakening of power—Fry Ya's character, or her feelings for Louis have never changed, or wavered.

This is the only reason why she so happily agreed to contain the Judgment Knights and the Crusaders... After all, as a fugitive named and arrested by the Holy See, even exposing her own existence is a very high-risk thing, not to mention cutting off the throne for others. Also very dangerous for profane mages.

No matter how powerful a spellcaster is, he only has himself, and there are flaws, but the Holy See has almost endless resources and power; even if he hides anonymously in the deserted wilderness, it is not absolutely safe.

With a slight sigh, Anson, who was chatting, bit the pipe he picked up, closed his eyes, and turned his attention back to the pictures and areas reflected in his mind.

From the beginning of the battle, he covered the entire Red Hand Bay town area with his "superpowers" and domain, and then used the "plan" rules to simulate the mind-reading ability of black magic, and transferred the pictures he saw and the intelligence he mastered to Tell Freya seamlessly.

Because the "Plan" law naturally has the ability to collect intelligence, the moment the Judgment Knights stepped into the town of Red Hand Bay, intelligence about them began to flow into Anson's mind. Depending on the amount of intelligence collected, he could also "Strengthen" Freya's spell magic effect within her own domain.

At the same time, by mastering every move of the Judgment Knights, Anson can also split up seemingly many enemies, allowing the elf girl to successfully block the attack without having to face too many enemies at the same time, thus avoiding exposing her weaknesses under siege. , or the risk of falling into a bitter fight.

This is Anson's plan, and it is also the fighting method that maximizes the effect of his "Plan Law" in his eyes - assisting rather than facing the enemy head-on.

After all, his purpose is only to delay the enemy's actions, not to really eliminate the Judgment Knights. If it is just to block and contain it, with the cooperation between himself and the elf girl, he can do it. Even if the Holy War Army successfully lands, he can do it. Do it.

But there is still a small problem in this seemingly perfect plan... Anson, who closed his eyes tightly, slowly raised his head and focused on the night sky in his mind, which was the airship floating directly above Red Hand Bay.

The Heart of Mercy... is the only trouble that cannot be eliminated in the entire plan; Ansem can limit the abilities of those Judgment Knights with sentient abilities, and can erase the aura released by Freya while she is squandering her power... But only not It may be possible to limit what the airship can observe from above, because that would require you to distort the reality in the field on a large scale. Not to mention hiding for Freya, you would be exposed first.

Its threat is not just as simple as being able to fly, but it changes the entire battlefield from a plane to a three-dimensional one. The enemy can use it to obtain information that was otherwise inaccessible, mobilize firepower more directly, and gather forces more calmly... even if it is attacked Attack, a huge and obvious target can also instantly reveal the attacker's location.

If this threat is not resolved, both himself and Freya will be at risk of being surrounded and strangled!

……………………………………………………

Outside the port of Red Hand Bay, the Jihadi Army fleet, the flagship "Lookout".

"Officers from each regiment are waiting in the cabin. The first batch of 6,000 people preparing to land has been assembled and ready to go at any time."

Walking onto the deck, Renault, the deputy commander of the Hantu Jihad Army, said with a serious expression: "Please give the order, His Highness Leon Francois!"

Little Leon, with his mouth tightened, was lying on the side of the ship, staring intently at the Red Hand Bay, which was burning in the dark night.

In the field of vision, the heart of compassion is floating slowly over the town, occasionally throwing something to the ground; whenever it leaves, the area will be ignited with more ferocious fire than before, and a black sky will be covered. cigarette.

Sighing slightly, he looked back and turned to look behind him: "Remember, just call me Leon, we are friends."

Facing little Leon's sincere gaze, Leno, who looked tense, was silent for a long time, and finally just nodded inconspicuously.

"Anson Bach...he is in that town, with the heretics and false believers." Leon still stared at him intently: "Do we really want to fight them?"

"This is our mission, Your Majesty...Leon." Renault sighed: "This is not a question of whether you think about it or not, but Hantu...We have just gained independence, what will happen if we violate the Holy See, Israel The elf has already demonstrated it for us in person!"

"I know that what you care about is not being an enemy of Anson Bach, but that the Holy War Army's actions are too despicable... But no matter how despicable they are, it is not something we can resist now; Hantu cannot bear the consequences of not accepting it. rise!"

"You don't need to tell me this! But we have another mission, which is to bring the 40,000 people of the Jihad Army back to Hantu safely - we can't afford even the slightest loss!" Leon said solemnly. :

"We have all experienced the Battle of Hantu, and we have all witnessed before our eyes how Anson fought against the much more powerful imperial army. Do you think we don't have to pay any price for being his enemy?!"

"This is different!" Leon shook his head: "There is no comparability between the Holy War Army and the Imperial Expeditionary Force... Even if there is, what trump card does Anson Bach have now? His most trusted Storm Legion even If we weren’t here, wouldn’t it be possible to create any miracles?”

"It's ok...if it's him, it's definitely ok!"

Leon looked confident, with a strange brilliance in his eyes: "Inform the landing troops to delay their departure for another thirty minutes due to the chaos at night... Also! The forward troops are not allowed to organize an attack immediately after arriving at the port. , we must wait for the follow-up troops to complete their assembly and then act together."

This order, as if a child was acting out of temper, made Renault silent for a while, and finally he had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I have no choice but to..."

"boom----!!!!"

Before he could finish his words, a loud thunder-like noise suddenly came from above the town of Hongshou Bay in the distance!
