Chapter 214
On the other side.
A fierce battle is currently raging in the forest where the Moonlight Knight Order are hiding.
The sudden surge of blood mist collided with the War Fog. The Moonlight Cavalry, hidden there, had no idea they would be attacked by the Holy Blood Army. Weren't they here to attack the Holy Blood Army?!
However, by taking advantage of the concealment effect of the Flag of Assured Victory, the Moonlight Cavalry launched a defensive counterattack and successfully stopped the Holy Blood Army.
But as 'Shally' fought her way to the Flag of Assured Victory, the situation changed instantly.
Although the relic from this war route had been refined by Elvian, after losing Elvian's control, 'Shally' discovered that there was actually a tiny possibility of forcibly seizing it.
So the Blood Knight immediately sacrificed the heads of those who had been killed, using the power of the ritual to refine the Flag of Assured Victory.
And then, she succeeded!
Even 'Shally' herself didn't expect to actually succeed, but at the moment she offered her head, the Blood God's Power did indeed descend upon this battlefield!
If Elvian was here, she would definitely burst into a tirade, because the Blood God is completely unreasonable!
Whoosh!
'Shally' stood atop a mountain piled high with corpses, raising the flag high. The next moment, the mist of the Flag of Assured Victory spread out, merging with the crimson mist.
Then something amazing happened.
After the two forces merged, the battlefield was instantly covered in blood, like a living hell.
The crimson power permeated the air, and those who were originally shrouded in the War Fog, the Moonlight Cavalry protected by Elvian's power, felt their bodies filled with a frenzied and uncontrollable madness.
The soldiers of the Holy Blood Legion, on the other hand, experienced a similar phenomenon. As this power surged into their bodies, their physical strength was further enhanced, and the thirst for blood made every member of the Holy Blood Army excited and courageous.
Sizzle!
Blood splattered.
"Everything for King Shally!!!" a Holy Blood Army shouted, sword in hand.
"King Shally!" "King Shally!" "King Shally!"
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Berserk!
And it's a berserk state that maintains its rationality!
That being said, the Holy Blood Army at this point was already quite abnormal in the eyes of normal people.
At least for the Moonlight Cavalry, in the battle against the Holy Blood Army, they even felt as if they were fighting demons from the Chaos Space, and a group of organized and disciplined demons at that!
'Shally', the leader of the demons, threw the flag into the air and then charged into the crowd to begin the battle.
Thousand, Seeking 960㈠2627 Mountain Order
"Defense! Defense!"
"Don't panic!"
"She's here! That demon, if we kill her we can... ugh... ahh!"
In the chaos of the battlefield, Moonlight Knight attempted to change the situation by killing 'Shally', but with a flash of Bloodlight, Moonlight Knight's head fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide open, dying with unresolved grievances.
Before long, several Moonlight Knights were slaughtered by 'Shally'.
The meaning of the poem is to entangle the three wives and the old flame.
"Demons of the Holy Blood Army, die!!!"
Whoosh!
The silver moon blade exploded with a loud bang.
'Shally' dodged, and saw three figures rush out from the crowd. The leader, with a large shield, strode forward, bathed in silver Magic Power, and attacked.
Boom!
The great shield slashed down, raising a huge cloud of dust.
'Shally' stepped back to dodge, then swung her sword to counterattack; the clash of sword and shield sparked bursts of starlight. The burly man roared in a low voice, and three Magic Power shields surrounded his body, blocking most of the damage.
Light Shield Knight, one of the hidden classes in the Divine Path, is also the class most skilled in defense in this passage.
At this moment, the big man entangled 'Shally', while the remaining two attacked from the left and right.
'Shally's' stomp skill was unleashed instantly. The big man's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly rammed his shield, breaking 'Shally's' skill release.
Pfft!
The sword sliced across 'Shally's' arm.
Seeing her injured, the big man's eyes lit up with joy, but the next second 'Shally' launched a counterattack, her terrifying Blood-colored Power instantly cleaving the man who had injured her in two.
"Harris!"
The burly man was taken aback. Why? He was clearly injured, yet his movements were not hindered at all.
Boom!
'Shally' slammed her greatsword into the ground, and a surge of crimson power swept over him and the remaining person like a giant wave, knocking them back.
When the burly man stopped retreating and looked up, he saw 'Shally' raise her hand, and a blood-red streak followed the direction and fell into the distance. The blood-red hand grabbed his other companion and lifted him up.
Then, 'Shally' gently clenched her fists.
Bang~
That blood-red hand completely crushed the other's body, and a large amount of blood mixed with flesh and internal organs splattered out.
"Asshole!"
"Ughhhhh!"
The burly man glared angrily, stomped his foot on the ground, and rocks pierced through the earth, hurtling towards 'Shally'.
The rock slammed open, and the giant man's body was thrown out of the dust and smoke, his massive shield hurtling towards 'Shally'.
The latter raised his sword to block, and the force of the collision tore the earth apart, creating a huge spider pit.
"You should know that you have no chance of winning," 'Shally' suddenly said.
The burly man growled, "Running away is the only way to lose. The Wilder Legion has no deserters!"
What's your name?
"Ferguson ..." Boom! Boom! Boom! The explosions accompanied the burly man announcing his name. He had already prepared for a sneak attack while talking to 'Shally'. The triple attack of the giant shield colliding was his most powerful attack skill!
However, 'Shally' never lets her guard down even for a moment on the battlefield.
As the Sword of Ares, with its crimson blade, sliced through the giant shield, a streak of blood splattered across the burly man's face, and his eye was subsequently slashed.
The burly man ignored everything and continued to fight back, but he soon found himself at a complete disadvantage. His body was covered in wounds, and he finally stopped moving. He held half of his shield to support his body and slumped his head helplessly.
"Vell... Dea..."
"Ferguson... an excellent warrior."
'Shally' glanced at him a couple more times before turning and leaving, rushing into the crowd.
The Holy Blood Army's attack on the Moonlight Knight Order lasted for a full five hours. This was the most difficult battle since 'Shally' led the Holy Blood Army into battle. As Moonlight Cavalry, this army, personally selected by Elvian, was definitely one of the most elite soldiers in Veldria.
Under normal circumstances, the Holy Blood Army had a 1:2 advantage in numbers against the Moonlight Knight Order, and would have won even without 'Shally' intervening. But when the battle ended, the entire forest was completely stained crimson with blood; there were no deserters, only corpses strewn everywhere.
There were no deserters!
Ryan had also witnessed the Holy Blood Army fight many battles. No matter how strong the willpower of the army was, in the end, their spirit would be on the verge of collapse, and they would eventually be unable to withstand the mental pressure and would be defeated.
So he was really surprised that none of the Moonlight Knight Order escaped, which was probably related to the Moonlight Knight's protective power.
The Moonlight Knight Order 20,000, were almost completely wiped out, while the Holy Blood Army, personally led by 'Shally', suffered over 7,000 casualties. If they hadn't seized the Flag of Assured Victory at the beginning, they probably wouldn't have survived even if they had won.
"Thank goodness Elvian isn't here."
Ryan was somewhat relieved. The Moonlight Knight Order were too formidable. Their strength and willpower were among the top soldiers, and they were also accompanied by a large number of extraordinary knights. If 'Shally' had not been present, it would have been hard to say who would win in a fight between two sides with equal numbers of soldiers.
However, the Moonlight Knight Order have existed for a long time, and these are all elites selected from thousands; their combat strength is to be expected. The Holy Blood Army's disadvantage lies in its youth; its army was wiped out as soon as it was built up, and the overall quality of its soldiers is definitely much lower.
Fortunately, there were still three thousand left. After a brief reorganization, 'Shally' immediately led the soldiers to the next location overnight.
This is what makes the Holy Blood Army so terrifying. With their Will of War strengthened, they don't need to rest for long. Under the cover of night, 'Shally' threw the flag into the air, and the War Fog enveloped all the Holy Blood Army.
This war has only just begun.
The next day, war broke out on the border between Lot and Canster.
Besides the Holy Blood Army, the Imperial Army marched into the Kingdom of Lotte overnight, with 50,000 men charging in. Meanwhile, the Wilder Army, which had been lying in wait on the border of Canster, had no idea what was happening.
Although a night had passed, they had not received any orders from Elvian.
They were even unaware of the destruction of the Moonlight Knight Order.
In the end, it was Avril who took advantage of the castle being bombed to escape from Loss City, leading the original three thousand Moonlight Cavalry to break through the encirclement and send back the news that the Queen's fate was unknown.
In an instant, the entire Verdea Federation was shaken!
The hidden troops began to withdraw, but were soon met with a merciless ambush by the Holy Blood Army, which appeared out of nowhere. Under the cover of the War Fog, the Holy Blood Army, though only three thousand strong, was a demon on the battlefield, and a demon that could also turn invisible!
Ordinary kingdom armies don't have the fighting power of the Moonlight Knight Order; a battle could break out at any moment and be over in one fell swoop!
However, halfway through the pursuit, they were stopped by the Moonlight Knight Order who suddenly appeared. Alfred had already dispatched 20,000 Moonlight Knight Order to provide support, but they were caught in the Queen's attack plan and suffered a major defeat.
It must be said that there are indeed reasons why Alfred was able to become the champion, but this cannot change the fact that Wilder was defeated as runner-up.
The elite Moonlight Knight Order were wiped out, the Queen's fate was unknown, the Imperial army entered the battlefield, and at the same time, Empress Motis waved her hand and assembled 150,000 Federation troops to march north, euphemistically calling it "reclaiming lost territory".
After all, Wilderness was originally part of the territory of the Northern Coalition, wasn't it?
Although they usually don't dare to attack Wildea, they now have the guts to beat a dog when it's down, thanks to Augustus's momentum!
For a time, the situation was that the Verdea Federation was divided between two major powers.
The Kingdom of Canster announced its withdrawal from Wildea that very day, and other members of the Verdea Federation followed suit. In less than two days, the federation, which had only been established for a little over a month, disintegrated at lightning speed and was plunged into a crisis of national extinction.
The Holy Blood Army, together with the Imperial Army, advanced eastward without encountering any obstacles until they entered Wilderia, where they were stopped and the two armies began a chaotic battle.
Taking advantage of the situation, 'Motis' extended invitations to member states that had seceded from the Verdea Federation. Although the second-class civilian treaty was not particularly attractive, it was immediately appealing compared to the possibility of national annihilation.
Disagree?
Alright, let the army advance!
Want to be a first-class citizen?
Alright, let the army advance!
What the hell does "weak nations have no diplomacy" mean? 'Motis' didn't give those countries any choice at all; if they didn't join, they would perish.
Of course, even if they join, they will be slowly eroded. This is true not only for the Northern Federation, but also for the Wilderness.
On the fifth day, Elvian finally appeared in the royal city and stabilized the chaotic Wilderia.
"... That guy has too many life-saving items on him, otherwise I would have crushed Grand Duke under my feet long ago. But even if she escapes back, she won't be able to fight for a while. She is seriously injured."
Inside Silvermoon Castle.
In Ryan's room.
Magana said somewhat indignantly.
Five days, they fought for a full five days.
Ryan hadn't expected that Seventh Tier Transcendent would be so powerful. The Old Emperor had died rather decisively back then... well, the Old Emperor was already on his last breath.
"The main problem is that she's been on the run." Magana emphasized, "Once you reach the Seventh Tier Transcendent, it's very difficult to kill them head-on. Don't believe me? Let Grand Duke come and try. That Night Knight, Elvian, is indeed a very powerful transcendent class."
Ryan thought to himself, "My Grand Duke, please stop talking. I understand. I didn't say you were bad. Why are you emphasizing this so much?"
You don't believe me?
"I believe you, I believe you," Ryan quickly said. "Compared to this, things are fine as they are now. It's good that you're alright, Your Grand Duke. Wildea's fate was sealed."
"So what are you planning to do next? Vainay sent you here to negotiate, and you suddenly made such a big fuss, won't she be angry with you?" Magana tilted her head and said, "But it's okay, if she dares to say anything, I, the Grand Duke, will blow up her castle."

"Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while."
Ryan chuckled.
