Lord of terror

"It's not for them to play forward, but as an auxiliary unit, to transport supplies and appease the people. At most, they are used to suppress bandits or fight with remnants. After all, no matter how good the training is, it can't compare to the tempering of the battlefield."

"Captain, be safe."

"Are you worried that someone will take me away? Don't worry, there is no god who wants to really break up with you."

In fact, I still have some selfish intentions, and I don't want to be separated from the captain, but... the captain is a militant.This is not an unjust battle, the captain likes it, so let's go.

Just like the previous expansion, Monroe will not completely occupy the new territory, but will shrink back with the main population.No other forces have dared to set foot in the no-man's land abandoned by them. Occasionally, some daring bandits come to occupy a hill, but they can ignore it for the time being. When the main area is stabilized, Meng Luofei will turn around and suppress the bandits.

Newcomers will panic at first, but soon most people will settle down in the stable life of Monroe. They will unconsciously exude gratitude to the lords and gods of Monroe, and what is more profound is faith .

With the straight rise of his faith, Kunz's money has become more and more abundant-he is touched, he is finally not poor.

Kunz was going to modify and manage his kingdom of God, so he found a day when he didn't have much work to let his soul come to the spiritual world.The Kingdom of God that was expanded last time only expanded its territory and experienced the erosion of evil thoughts. His Kingdom of God is like a huge basalt floating in mid-air.Kunz didn't even dare to let his soul land, always feeling that falling would crush it.

[Kuntz, about how to build your kingdom of God, I will show you some good things before you start. 】

【good? ] Kunz was a little puzzled and waited for Butler J to show him the good things. A few minutes later, Kunz grinned so much that the corners of his mouth reached below his ears【What a good thing! 】

【Got it? 】

【understood! ] Kunz agreed, and flew above the Kingdom of God. Faith began to inject into the kingdom of God, which was riddled with holes, to fill up its wounds. After it became a real rock, half of it began to sag. Kunz's hand Brushing over the bottom of the pit formed by the depression, a drop of clear water appeared in the pit...

Kunz happily returned to reality, but his smile only lasted for a while [Butler J, when you leave, will we have no chance to communicate again? 】

【emmmm... In fact, our systems can also transfer departments, but it is difficult. My points are far from being able to transfer departments. After all, I used to be passive and sabotage...cough!But I will work hard, try to accumulate points, and come back to see you.Please work hard too, try to live to see me again.I don't want to come back with enough points to find that you have fallen. 】

[I will try my best to live without your words, I have a captain. 】

Kunz likes Butler J, which is of course different from his liking for the captain. He likes his friends, brothers, and elders.It would be great if we could meet again in the future, even if it was just a distant hope.

【snort! ╭(╯^╰)╮】

Take your time and everything will be fine.

Fanvatina, once the capital of the Sherfer Empire, was a bustling city of gold, but now the city is as desolate as a ghost town.It doesn't look like it has been abandoned for a few years, but more like it experienced a tragic war hundreds of years ago. The reliefs on the city wall were smashed, and the huge city gate that was once carved with beautiful patterns disappeared. The stone bricks paved on Chengmen Avenue were also pried to pieces. Most of the buildings on both sides of the road collapsed into rubble and rubble. Some of the wreckage could be seen with traces of fire. Weeds grew luxuriantly, and animals appeared from time to time. A figure flashed among the grass and collapsed houses.

A man was running on this set of tattered roads. He was wearing a blindfold, possibly blind in one eye, wearing old leather armor that was badly worn, with a sword hanging from his waist, and he looked like a wandering warrior.But his running posture can still see the extraordinary elegance, he should come from a noble family.It is not surprising that there are more nobles who are down and out in this year than the day before.

He runs very fast, and he is probably an awakened extraordinary knight.

The one-eyed knight came straight to the palace, and when he was about to step into the gate of the palace, someone jumped out from the side.He has a big messy beard, wears the obviously dirty clothes of the Sherfer Knights, and raises his sword towards the one-eyed knight with firm eyes.

"There is nothing here, knight. After all, before you, too many people have 'visited' here." The former member of the Royal Knights who is still dedicated to his duty paused, still looking out from his tattered clothes He took out a small purse and threw it on the ground, "Take it away, don't come again."

The one-eyed knight didn't touch the purse, he stood where he was: "I'm glad to see the knights who are still loyal to the Kevin Wright family...Captain Badek."

Thorett Bardek, the last head of the Imperial Knights when the Sherfer Empire fell.After the emperor died, he disappeared without a trace. No one expected that he would still stay in Fanwadina, guarding the palace.

"Who are you?" Bardek wasn't surprised when the other party called out his name. He looked milder, thinking that the other party was also here to guard the palace, but soon realized that the other party's tone was wrong.

"Fednan Moorfin Haltolem Calvin Wright." The one-eyed knight took off his blindfold while speaking, his left eye was completely sunken, and there were horrible wipes around the eye socket. The mark means that the process of losing this eyeball is not pleasant at all.Although his facial features have changed a lot, as has his figure, he has become much stronger, and he no longer looks like the melancholy and sickly prince at all, but from the outline, he is indeed Prince Haltolem, "If you still If you don’t believe me, we can check my bloodline, is the stone cup still there? After all, it has no other ability except to prove the royal blood.”

"You're right. I... can basically be sure that you are His Royal Highness Prince Haltolem. After all, what's the use of pretending to be the prince of the Sherfer Empire? But, just in case, let's test it with a wine glass Your bloodline." Captain Bardek put away his sword and made a gesture of invitation to Haltolem.

The two walked to the depths of the palace, and other people appeared one after another along the way. They were either servants or other members of the knight order.

When he walked to the current storage room, Hartolem had already followed more than a dozen people, some of them were silent, and some of them shouted "restore the country" and "restore Fanvatina's life" with excitement. brilliant".

The Haltolem in the past would have comforted such people, or chanted slogans with them, but now the one-eyed Haltolem who walked with them was silent.

The others couldn't sing this one-man show anymore, and when they reached the storage room, they all shut up.

"Your Majesty...His Royal Highness Prince Yatesina took away most of the property in the treasury before leaving with the people from the Church of the Sovereign Lord. The remaining part was invaded after the capital..."

"I know." Haltolem interrupted Captain Bardek, "Bring the stone wine glass."

Captain Bardek turned the stone wine glass out from a pile of tattered debris.After Haltolem took it, he cut his finger, and he let everyone see his wound before dripping blood into it.In an instant, the stone wine glass turned into a gold wine glass. Although it only lasted for more than ten seconds, it changed back to its original appearance, but it was enough to prove the blood of Haltolem.

"I'm going underground after that." He looked at Commander Badek, "For your own good, don't follow."

Others yelled first, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" "We have a chance to restore the country!" "The cracks in the golden rank are not so easy to collapse, and the noble and powerful blood of the royal family is still needed to suppress it." "You are the savior of the world!" man of!"

Haltolem didn't want to talk to them, turned around and was about to leave.Captain Bardek quickly walked in front of him: "Your Highness, do you want to release the demon in the crack of the golden steps?"

There was a scream from the crowd, but more fell silent.

"You should know that demons have no credibility. No matter what they promise in the seal, they will not fulfill their promise after breaking free from the seal."

Some people have already turned around and left, not all of them stayed here because of loyalty, but also because of incompetence or cowardice, with nowhere to go.

At first, some people believed that demons would reward those who helped them, but it is stupid to still think so now.None of the families that released the demons got a good end. Maybe they haven't died yet, but for the humans living among the demons, death is the best end.

"Also, your strength is not enough to liberate the demons in the cracks of the golden rank! In comparison, restoring the country is a bit easier. Many nobles are nostalgic for the past empire."

Bardek wasn't lying, there were indeed nobles who were nostalgic for the past empire, but they were all in a weak position.They miss the days when nobles could not attack each other in the name of the empire.

"I'm not interested in what they think, and I know I'm not enough to liberate the demons in the golden crack, but I can tear a crack." Haltolem finally showed a smile, because he hasn't seen anything since he took off the blindfold. Put it on again, when he laughed, there was nothing but hideousness, "I'm not here to restore the country - I know it's not impossible, but at most I can only build a small country as big as my toe, that's ridiculous .I’m here to take revenge, and let all the sinners who betrayed the empire receive the punishment they deserve!”

"You're crazy!" screamed one of the former servants and jumped on it.

He was just an ordinary person, Hartolem was a knight after all, he kicked this man in the stomach and kicked him flying.

"I used to be crazy. My father, who only knew how to enjoy himself, was even more crazy. But at that time, you only knew how to satisfy all his demands. Now it is the opposite. I am normal, but you want to stop me Is it?" Haltolem only looked at Bardeck, only the former head of the Imperial Knights had the ability to stop him.

Bardek drew his sword, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but...

"Advance according to your own wishes, Your Royal Highness, I will guard the rear for you here."

"Thank you very much." Haltolem left the storage room. Someone tried to stop him, but Bardek immediately cut off his arm with a sword.

As the head of the Imperial Knights, he was originally ranked among the top ten in the entire imperial capital, but now among the remaining people, no one can be stronger than him.

"Are you crazy? Bardek!"

"Besides Hartolem, there are many people who have the blood of the emperor. Why should you be loyal to him?"

"The Sun Lord has the blood of the emperor. As I said in the past, we can go to him and support him as Xierfu's new emperor!"

"He's going to ruin everything!"

"Fednan Moorfin Haltolem Kevin Wright is the only remaining member of His Majesty's direct blood relatives. Although the coronation ceremony has not been held, he is the only one who has returned after everyone else has left. Under the circumstances, he is the emperor of Fanvatina." Badek held his sword horizontally, "Come on, you can take the things here, run as far as you want, maybe you still have time to escape now."

A knight dressed as a palace guard smiled wryly, "Long live the Sherfer Empire!" he shouted, wiping his neck with his sword.

The palace guard made a "good start", and some people wiped their necks one after another, or pierced their hearts with a dagger.

They used to stay here because there was still a glimmer of hope for the empire, but now if Prince Haltolem really did what he said, then their hope would be completely shattered.The Sherfer Empire is over, and these last imperial loyalists chose to be buried with the Empire.

Of course, some people rushed into the storage room and began to rummage through their belongings.

Although the place has been looted several times, with Bardek around, he finally kept some property. These things are nothing to the big forces, but if they are obtained by individuals, they can find a place that is fairly stable, and they can be rich. of a lifetime.

People who got their belongings ran out one after another. When Bardek returned to the storage room and found a place to sit down, he found that there was only one person left here who was still searching—Gao Walter Dartle.

Prince Haltolem has undergone tremendous changes. The former chief of the court and the emperor's close minister has also changed greatly. He has changed from an obese fat man to a thin man.He was dressed in tattered servant clothes and had burn scars on his face.

Compared with Prince Haltolem, Bardek is more familiar with the emperor's close minister, after all, every supply is sent by him.So when they first met, Bardek recognized him, but chose to remain silent.Everyone thought he had followed the Emperor's ***, but obviously he didn't.

By his side Dartle had a package full of rings, gems, and squashed gold cups, which would have sufficed, but he was still like a rat scavenging for food in the clutter. Drilling back and forth between things.

Bardek looked at him with a mocking smile.He raised his sword and wiped his neck like those companions outside.

When Bardeck fell down, Dattle rushed over immediately, groped his still warm body, and he touched the badge of the head of the Knights of the Bardek Empire, not just gold, but one with gems, it was It was still a magic item. He had already wiped the blood all over his face, but he was still groping for it. The small purse that Bardek wanted to give to Haltolem before, was a hanging with a small portrait of Bardeck's wife. fall……

Dattle looked excited, and a silent thick black mist poured in from outside the door.

Dartle's body was on fire, he screamed, picked up the package and ran out, but the package was burnt, and the belongings he collected fell on the ground one after another, Dartle lowered his head to pick them up , So I couldn't get up again, and burned into a ball of coke.

Fan Watina was completely submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

Kunz learned the news a few hours later, and Fan Vatina became a real fire pit.According to those who escaped from inside, it was Prince Haltolem who tore open the crack in the golden steps.

Meng Luofei will not deliberately pursue the crimes committed by a person outside of Meng Luofei. As long as they abide by Meng Luofei's rules and live in an unruly manner in Meng Luofei, then he can live in safety.

Kunz did not forgive the crimes of these people, and he is not qualified to forgive them on behalf of any victims, but unless there are clear witnesses and physical evidence, as long as someone denounces them, they will be investigated. Monroe currently does not have that capable.If people are convicted only on the basis of reporting, countless unjust, false and wrongly decided cases will be born.

The same is true for Haltolem. Even if the captain can tell what this person has done, he has already received the punishment he deserved for what he did wrong in Mengluofei. Outside of Monrofei, the captain is a witness. But there is no physical evidence.Therefore, Kunz followed Monroe's consistent principles and did not continue to pursue the matter.

Kunz didn't even pay attention to whether Haltolem remained in Monrofi. He thought he was an insignificant villain, but the result was obviously disastrous.

"Don't get too excited, nothing serious happened." The paladin who came to report the news in person comforted him, "There are no serious people living there except for the bandit's lair near Fanvatina. In that kind of situation, people around It is still manageable. I just ran to tell you before those messengers, and they will come to you crying in a short time, 'ask the great sun lord to save thousands of lives in the deep abyss and sea of ​​fire'"

His tone was so vivid that Kunz couldn't help laughing.

The paladin also smiled: "Everything is fine, don't worry, Your Majesty the Sun Lord."

Indeed, as soon as the paladins left, the messengers came—not the same group in the past. After their conspiracy failed last time, these guys all went back to their respective homes. Of course, after their "family" paid a lot After a huge ransom fee.

"You also know that not long ago I fought a long-term battle with the pollution demon. I was seriously injured in that battle. Now I can't fight a high-intensity battle again." When saying this, Kunz was expressionless, but his expressionlessness did not seem to be helpless, but rather that he was too lazy to lie too hard.

The envoys knew about it, and Kunz told them "don't do it" very clearly.

"We can pay for it." This one's territory is not far from Fan Watina.

"Monrofei is a peaceful place. Anyone who comes to live here is welcome. Maybe you can persuade your master to bring his family and residents to live in Mengluofei together."

This is a suggestion, and it is also Kunz's "offer". He wants living people in the opponent's territory.

The envoys could only say that they would go back to discuss with their lord, and then they pulled a few more times, but every time Kunz refused with the same words and the same expression, and these people were sure that Kunz had indeed made up his mind. Will manage.

Kunz refused, and he was still very concerned about the leak of the cracks in the golden steps, but after a month, he heard that the fires had been suppressed back to the scope of the former palace—don’t think about those noble lords. It's too useless. The few princes that Kunz has conquered so far are the poorest, but those rich lords and nobles naturally have their trump cards.

This summer, Kunz was in a meeting, and everyone was discussing whether to start systematically arranging players to fight against the demons that came to the earth.Even if the Church did act, the demons continued to multiply.Even if it wasn't intentional to free the demon area, there were cracks opening and the demon crawling out.

There was even a rift that the player was hitting, and it cracked open, and the player and the demon fell into reality together.And then... the player buried the demon.

According to Steward J's statistics, the remaining cracks below the purple rank will gradually open in the second half of this year, and whether the cracks above the purple rank will crack depends on whether the demons who come to reality can accumulate a large amount of money. power up.

Suddenly, Kunz said, "I'm going to be promoted."

Everyone in the meeting didn't know it, but at almost the same time, Butler J also said [You are going to be promoted. 】

The premonition of being promoted this time was an instinct, and Kunz was stunned when he said it.If no one else was around at the time, Kunz might not have even realized what he said.

Now, he stood up, leaving only one sentence, "I'll leave for a while." He disappeared into the conference room.

The captain followed Kunz closely and disappeared.

When Kunz reappeared, it was on the highest peak of the mountain range that he had just returned, and fell into the snow on the mountain peak.The flames shot up to a person's height in an instant, and the red fire snake wrapped around Kunz. Soon there was only a golden red flame left, and the snow had turned into milky white steam before it had time to turn into water.After the captain arrived, he didn't rush over. He chose a place more than 100 meters away from Kunz and landed, just standing there to guard him.

The power is surging up uncontrollably, although everything that happens to me is out of control, such as overflowing flames.But Kunz also knew that they were within the controllable range, and he was soberly aware of every change in his body.Because he had raised his soul to the highest level of the material world in advance, and now his body was promoted—because of the accumulation of elemental power and the nourishment of higher-level belief power, the body has reached a critical point.
