Winged Gorge.
The moment the sunny day entered Winged Gorge, it was filled with cold wind and the huge team entered the ice-white world from the golden sky.
"Why is it so cold in here?"
"Ryan and Norton's territory is in a place like this?"
In the large carriage, the two Countess Clayton and Viscountess Melendez subconsciously pulled down the curtains, and the illuminated magic arrays resisted the cold wind blowing in from outside.
"Northwind Province Is it too cold?"
"The two children must be suffering here."
Ellie·Fleming The countess said with some distress.
"Don't worry, mother, the two of them are of the Clayton Family's blood, and they will not be defeated by the cold winter of Northlands."
Outside, a clear voice came. A knight in gorgeous armor was riding on the back of a Griffin. It was Kaz·Clayton, the count's third son.
Among Winged Gorge, Farrell Commander was also in the fortress to welcome this team from the great noble South.
"Count Clayton Family, in recent years, Fifth Grand Duke has become the most vocal noble."
"Their strength is said to be comparable to that of kingdoms outside the empire."
"Many big nobles in the empire have said this. I didn't expect him to come in person."
Next to Farrell, Baron Enzo said with some envy, and then some doubts.
"It seems that Count Clayton is not seen."
Farrell Commander raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That person is Dragon Knight, of course he won't be in this team."
The moment the voice fell, within Winged Gorge, Wyverns flew into the air. They were frightened and looked in all directions in panic, looking for the source of their fear.
Roar——
A dragon roar fell from the depths of the clouds, and the majestic roar Dispel cleared the thick fog that had filled the sky over Winged Gorge for many years. A huge Amber Dragon fell from the sky, and its huge body of hundreds of meters covered the fortress.
Leon Count Clayton, from the time he appeared in Winged Gorge, Farrell Commander, as well as another Imperial House member, the commander of the Wyvern Legion, are all lower than him. If Count Clayton comes here during the war, he will naturally become the supreme commander of Winged Gorge.
"Your Excellency Count Clayton."
Count Clayton stood on the back of Amber Dragon, nodded towards the people below, and his eyes fell on Farrell, Legendary.
"You are much worse than Kalami. It seems that the emperor's mind is no longer on the east side of the empire."
Count Clayton Through the replacement of Winged Gorge by Commander, it is easy to see the political direction of the emperor in the next ten or even decades. The east side of the empire will no longer be paid attention to.
After saying this, Amber Dragon took off again, roaring towards those bastards Wyverns, and Dragons headed towards Northwind Province.
Of course Winged Gorge cannot stop Count Clayton Family's team.
"Huh, luckily they didn't get close. I thought they would be exposed."
In front of Kaz, the ordinary knight driving the carriage for the two countesses and viscountesses spoke out. He wore ordinary armor, but the person inside was not ordinary. He was the eldest son of Count Clayton, the heir to the count family, and the eldest of this generation Clayton bloodline.
Aatrox·Clayton.
One, the heir to a great noble of the empire who killed the successor of Pope.
No one knows that he is also in this team. Perhaps other nobles in the empire still speculate that the heir of the Count Clayton Family will die in the temple prison of the empire.
No one knew he was let out.
In the carriage behind him, several noble ladies also raised the curtains again, and it was vaguely visible that there was a large gem box placed in the carriage.
"We've left Winged Gorge. Now it's time for you kids to tell me what's inside, right?"
Ellie·Fleming, Countess Clayton said angrily. The magic array protected the cold wind from blowing in. She questioned her child.
"Sorry mother, this is my father's order. He doesn't want you to worry."
Kaz was outside the car window and whispered:
"Winged Gorge is engraved with Godslayer Runes. We are also worried that the contents inside will be detected."
"Of course I can tell you now that this box contains Divine Essence that we snatched from the Mammoth-folk Tribe's Altar a few years ago."
"He is still alive."
Kaz's words made several ladies inside the carriage breathe rapidly. They looked at the gem boxes in the carriage in shock, especially Viscountess Melendez. She suddenly regretted that she had entered this carriage in order to get closer to the two countesses. How nice it was to have her daughter Avril in the back.
"How... how could it be this thing? What on earth do you want to do?"
Kalami·Sterling, Ryan's biological mother asked in shock. She had always thought that Divine Essence had been devoured.
Viscountess Melendez couldn't understand, but the two countesses were both powerful demons Mages, and they knew very well why Count Clayton rushed three thousand miles to kill Mammoth-folk Tribe.
"Father failed before, otherwise the current Clayton Family would already be the empire's Fifth Grand Duke."
The voice of Aatrox driving the carriage came over, feeling a little regretful.
"This is the remaining small part. My father imprisoned his will in Destiny Gem to... prepare... to make a deal with a certain great being."
"You are blaspheming."
Ellie said indifferently. At this moment, she had the terrifying majesty of a countess, which silenced her two heirs.
"Mother, more than a hundred years ago, the nobles of the empire were all Blasphemers. Especially those of us who survived the noble bloodline, Lord Lais has allowed us to see a new path."
Aatrox didn't say any more because there were still outsiders in the carriage.
"How about... let me go out first."
Viscountess Melendez said a little nervously. She is also the daughter of a noble and a noble lady. She has also been educated about some of the secrets of the nobles.
"No, from now on Mrs. Avina, you will stay with us until we return to Calais Province together."
Ellie said that she did not expect that she thought that she went to Northlands on a whim for the wedding of the child Ryan, but she did not expect that it would be such a serious incident.
She looked out the window with worry, then surprise.
"Why is it so cold in here?"
Outside the carriage, the snow from last year's blizzard still had not melted, and the white land made the countess feel distressed.
"Why did Grand Duke Mayers attack Northwind Province in the first place? It's too cold here. The nobles of the empire won't like such a place."
Zero Crossing City.
Early in the morning, thousands of majestic cavalry rushed across the land. The entire people of Zero Crossing City were trembling with fear. They looked outside in fear.
"Didn't you say that Baron Ryan only has a thousand Knight Retainer?"
"Why... I feel like there are ten thousand people outside?"
Some people's teeth are chattering. Having one thousand cavalry and ten thousand cavalry are completely different concepts.
"And the one thousand Armored Bear. I heard from the adventurers of the Braveheart Guild that they went crazy killing Northlands and chased Werewolves hundreds of miles away."
Among the legion with more than 3,000 people, 400 flags belonging to Ryan and Frozen Earth Territory badges were hunting in the cold wind. It was already summer, but the world of Northlands still had no warmth. Three thousand extraordinary warriors stood quietly on the earth, slowly staring at the end of the earth in front of them, as the slow team approached.
"Coming."
Butler Bilder said, his eyes lit up. Next to him, Brandt made a fist and raised his hand. Behind him were two thousand Knight Retainer and one thousand Berserker Bear Warriors fell silent. One difference between Northern Warhorse and Highland Warhorse is that Northern Warhorse's breathing is very slow and long, which allows them to stay quiet for a long time.
The sky-covering Dragons spread its wings. Inside Zero Crossing City, all the people looked enthusiastically at the figure on Dragons's back.
"Dragon Knight, it's actually Dragon Knight!"
Cheers erupted, and Dragons fell in front of thousands of troops, shouting at Dragon's Might and making Northern Warhorse's head lower.
However, their movements are due to Knight Retainer holding their hands on the hilt of the sword. Facing the pressure of Dragons, Knight Retainer do not dare to be careless. Their palms are in contact with the hilt of the sword, and they can draw their weapons and charge forward at any time.
They do not come from the Florian Empire. In fact, many of the attendants live in a world where the majesty of the nobles has gone far away. They are loyal to Ryan, but do not respect the nobles of the empire.
Therefore, at this moment Extraordinary Legion is ready to go.
"Father."
In the end, it was Ryan who spoke, which relaxed the atmosphere that seemed like a battlefield. Knight Retainer let go of their hands, and Dragons also snorted and looked towards Ryan.
"It's good of you to have such an army."
Count Clayton smiled and praised as he looked at the army behind Ryan. He preferred to see such a powerful army in the hands of Clayton's blood rather than how his descendants grew.
"These war horses come from the world you discovered?"
Count Clayton asked, if it weren't for this reason, Ryan would have to have ten golden mountains to be qualified to buy so many war horses.
"Yeah."
Amber Dragon spread its wings and flew away. It sensed the similar aura in Northlands. A fight might break out between Amber Dragon and Frost Dragon. Count Clayton recruited a war horse for his father to ride.
Facing his father, Ryan doesn't know what to say. It seems that between father and son, you ask and I answer.
Count Clayton and Ryan go side by side to Frozen Earth Territory. On Ryan's side is Norton, the younger brother, Lordship of Northwind Province, and next to the earl is Kaz, the older brother.
Behind the two people was a bloated and huge team.
"Warhorse, you are lucky."
"Do you know where Clayton Family's war horse came from?"
Baron Ryan's importance has indeed increased a lot in the eyes of Count Clayton. The earl's father began to tell Ryan some secrets belonging to the earl family.
"Before, when the emperor came to power, in order to show the difference between his reign and Columbus II, our His Majesty the Emperor and the Church had many conflicts. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor became angry and wanted to kill Pope's successor."
"At that time, two of Pope's successors had died, and there was only one left."
"Your brother Aatrox, my eldest son was so bold that he went to see the emperor and told him that he would kill the last successor of the Church."
"Then, he ran to the land of South."
"He succeeded. The emperor and Clayton Family completed their agreement. From that moment on, Clayton Family no longer had to worry about the war horses."
"This is why, in recent years, people within the empire have been saying that we, Clayton Family, are most likely to become Fifth Grand Duke."
"This is time-limited. When Columbus III was still the emperor of the empire, we Clayton Family had the best relationship with him, so we are said to be the most likely Fifth Grand Duke."
Ryan was surprised. I didn't expect that so many politics and secrets were buried under the empire's rumors.
"In the education of aristocrats, it is destined that only the eldest son and the second son have the best education. They will be imparted the most knowledge and wealth of a noble family. In comparison, the remaining children will have it much easier."
"That's why I can understand why you are so brave."
Count Clayton said this. Ryan did not respond. He was waiting for the next step.
"Deities, do you know what kind of price the nobles in the empire have to pay for killing the weak Deities for more than a hundred years for the dead origin of Deities?"
"When you wrote the letter, I was shocked. Even if you found out about Deities, you were actually thinking about killing him."
"Aatrox, as your brother, he only dares to kill Pope's successor. Even that is not Pope's son, but you actually deal with Deities."
"You have experienced the war of the Andara Kingdom, so you should also understand why Andara Royal House is weak. They are cursed by Deities."
"And being cursed by Deities prevents the royal bloodline from becoming extraordinary. This is the most merciful price to pay for dealing with Deities."
"Andara Kingdom's predecessor, King, is indeed admirable. After his failure, he still caused the royal family to suffer minimal losses."
Ryan remained silent, but his heart was already boiling.
The royal bloodline was cursed, and Extraordinary Legion's entire army was annihilated, leading to civil strife, wars, and power changes in the kingdom. Thousands of blood and deaths occurred, and even the royal city was captured.
This is actually just the smallest loss?
"Let me guess, you have the courage to deal with Deities. It seems that you are not in awe of Deities in your heart. This surprises me a little."
Count Clayton said with a smile that Ryan was not in awe of Deities, not even Lord of Dawn or God of Light, which made him wonder how Ryan grew up.
Is this the environment of Imperial Capital?
"You don't think that Deities is a kind of powerful life. They were just born some time earlier than us and embarked on the extraordinary path earlier than us, right?"
Ryan turned his head and blinked.
One thing to say is that he really doesn't know much about Deities in this extraordinary world, but the memory of his previous life affects him and prevents him from defining any existing life beyond human beings.
Since gods can be killed by humans, why can't they be called more powerful - humans?
"Deities is Deities. It was destined from the beginning."
"The demons Mages have exhausted all their talents, created countless terrifying magics, and even described the magic circle that killed Deities, but they still cannot become Deities."
"When a person dies, everything he leaves behind will be meaningless, but when Deities dies, they will still leave behind the indelible power of Eternity."
"Such as curses, such as natural disasters, such as Northlands."
"Your actions against Deities are likely to have an irreversible impact on the entire Clayton Family bloodline. Dealing with Deities is never a matter of a certain noble, but a challenge to Deities by the entire bloodline."
"To kill Him, you should not use Ryan's Name, but use the bloodline of Clayton as the edge of the sword."
Ryan nodded thoughtfully. He was thinking about the description of the relationship between Deities and humans.
It is a sacrilegious act for humans to deal with Deities, and when Deities, whose majesty is offended, takes revenge on humans, it will not only target that one person.
It is the continuation of the complete bloodline in that person's body. The angry Deities will make the humans who offended him sink into despair for generations.
Death is not the end.
"How does father plan to deal with that Deities?"
Ryan asked, making Count Clayton think for a moment.
"How weak is the Deities you are talking about."
"The followers he can create do not exceed the combat power of Golden Knight."
Clayton heard this answer and answered it directly.
"Then it's simple, use this sword to chop him to death."
Count Clayton was holding a Knight's Greatsword, which Ryan had just given to him. It was the Legendary embryo that Brock had previously built at Imperial Capital.
Ryan is surprised. You taught me so much before about the power of Deities and the curse of blood grudges. You thought I was too simple and crude. But now your own answer is so simple and crude?
"I think you are brave because you are still too weak. If you can be as strong as me, that would be just right."
"The moment you wrote to me, Clayton Family's bloodline was prepared to suffer the consequences of eternal damnation."
"Either we, Clayton Family, will be destroyed by Deities's revenge, or we, Clayton Family, will usher in another glory."
Count Clayton stared at Ryan and said seriously:
"This is nobility."
"This is how our ancestors allowed us descendants to enjoy power and wealth."
"What we carry is the glory of the oldest nobles. This glory is no less than the glory of Deities."
Ryan was speechless. He looked at his father for a long time, took a deep breath and said:
"I think you are braver than me."
Nonsense, why does Lord Ryan dare to deal with Deities? He has Spirituality Panel here, and he has the ability to use Hound Deity's revenge and curse to make Spirituality Panel disappear, otherwise Lord Ryan will always have the confidence to come back.
He can easily open Planar Gate with a simple action like opening and closing the door. No matter how angry Deities is at him, does he dare to come to the world where Lord of Dawn and God of Light shine to cause trouble for Ryan?
On the other hand, the person next to him is always dragging the whole Clayton Family into a situation of no return.
Are you telling me that I am brave?
