War of Intrigue

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!" The five hundred Personal Guard were almost dumbfounded. How could they have known that Marquis Chris, whose strength was only average, would actually make a move during the great victory of the war, and even decisively take the life of the current King.

Chris Marquis embraced Nadrick's corpse, whirled around, and stumbled backward, roaring, "Nadrick was a regicide! He poisoned the King! He only wanted the King; he wasn't truly King! Black Rock King is there!"

Those below the city wall looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that the Second Prince, whose head had been severed, had actually come back to life!

He slowly emerged from his 300 Personal Guard, accompanied by a group of Grand Nobles, including Count Kuri and others.

Five hundred Royal Guard gripped their War Saber, swallowing hard. They glanced at the already lifeless Nadrick, then at the Second Prince strolling towards them. They exchanged a look, then knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Second Prince..."

The Nobles looked at the Royal Guard with reproach, as if to say that they were unreasonable. In this situation where a great enemy was at hand, the regicide was dead, and only the Second Prince was the true King.

However, the young Second Prince shook his head and said in a deep voice, "My faked death was to collect evidence of Nadrick's poisoning. Now I have found it, but I did not expect Chris Marquis to be so impatient and kill this damned king killer directly."

At this point...

The Second Prince sighed, looking at the somewhat demoralized Black Eye Legion, and said in a deep voice, "The greater good is at stake. Now is not the time to look at evidence. I hope you will all lend me a hand."

Then.

He unleashed his Battle Aura aura and shouted, "I, the Lord of Black Rock, am invincible! Kill!"

The sound Pierce throughout the battlefield.

One hundred of his three hundred personal Personal Guard charged toward the city wall...

After they stormed the city walls...

Completely devastating.

Sweep away everything.

Regardless of who the enemy is or how many people are on the enemy side.

Whether the enemy is Player or an NPC.

In the hands of those hundred Personal Guard, after a swift stroke of their blades, the road was littered with corpses; none could withstand a single blow.

When the enemy struck them with their weapons, it only produced a spark, breaking their Battle Aura but failing to even penetrate their armor.

But these hundred Warrior, burning with flames, were like gods of death, rampaging across the city walls, unchallenged and unstoppable!

The Royal Guard, witnessing this scene, were equally shocked. After a moment's hesitation, they also shouted, "Lord of Black Rock, invincible!"

William's battle with Goethe Nassis went uninterrupted.

The latter was seriously injured during the sneak attack, but he hadn't lost yet, but damn it...

He received signals from several Legion Commander before they died...

That is.

The entire army in the secret passage appears to have perished...

Goethe Nassis's confidence stemmed from his belief that if he sent several large armies to raid Black Rock from behind, and then opened the city gates for a full-scale assault, he could wipe out many of Black Rock's Legion in one fell swoop, thus securing his safety.

However, the Underground Passage was not only blocked, but also some traps were set, and Earth Mage cut off the escape route.

Four Legion in total...

He was crushed to death in the Underground Passage...

Damn it, it's like there's shit on the road, no, it's like poison is hidden in the shit...

This top-secret, underground winning strategy was something Goethe Nassis couldn't even imagine who had leaked it, let alone who could have tricked them so secretly.

In this way...

The Steel Duchy is doomed. Goethe Nassis can't make a decision quickly enough, he'll simply flee.

But he was already being watched by William.

The two arrived at a ruin, with huge stones scattered everywhere and the walls leaning precariously, looking as if they were about to collapse.

Goethe Nassis gradually stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the 100 Fire Warrior stood unstoppable on the city wall, and suddenly understood...

Everything became clear.

The key reason for this tilt in the balance of power was William.

Even the blocking of the Underground Passage was the work of the Dawn City Lord.

He couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly, saying, "Undo your illusion. Black Rock doesn't have that many powerful Fire Warrior; these are clearly Dragonblood Warrior."

"Oh?" A man with an unfamiliar appearance, dressed in ordinary soldier's armor, chuckled. He ignored Goethe's words and charged forward again.

But in an instant, a colossal object burst open the ground; it was a giant black hand, as large as a small mountain.

William sensed the deadly danger and immediately retreated rapidly.

But the giant black hand didn't grab him; instead, it seized the Goethe Nassis.

Just as the giant hand dragged the latter underground, Goethe Nassis stared intently at William in a near-mad state, as if trying to etch his image completely into his mind.

That chilling, direct gaze was enough to send shivers down your spine.

But then the giant black hand dragged him away and disappeared.

Soldier William was completely dumbfounded. He recognized the hand; it was clearly the Demon's Hand!

"What the fuck?"

"We're not in Desolation yet, okay?"

"I only ambushed you a couple of times; the injuries weren't fatal..."

"Especially what kind of operation is this? Sacrifice oneself to escape into the Dark World?"

"How good must your relationship with the Demon be for you to be allowed to leave alive?"

William's five questions about black faces.

He vaguely remembered Goethe Nassis from his previous life. Although he possessed Dark Battle Aura, he still died at the hands of Demon. There seemed to be some connection between the two, or perhaps some kind of shady deal.

Logically speaking, making a deal with the Demon must come at a price.

But the scope of the Dark Invasion was too vast.

The Demon wanted too much, so King Goethe Nassis, in order to enjoy his power, turned against Demon.

After all, making a deal with the Demon doesn't necessarily mean you'll be corrupted by darkness.

All so-called transactions are simply about making oneself stronger.

But his current actions seem to have completely driven him into the Dark World.

"The Dark Invasion seems to have added another old adversary..." William pondered for a moment, then glanced back at the impending fall of the city and decided not to linger any longer. Now that the situation was settled, he should consider the aftermath.

William left in a flash and began to ponder: the second version of the Dark Invasion was exceptionally large in scale, covering nine continents!

This is a super version that Player, NPCs, and all creatures worldwide will have to face!

In particular, every continent, every region, and every small town has Human Traitor specialize in instigating Dark Invasion.

"What should we do? Is Goethe going to join forces with Madeliku to launch Dark Invasion? Wouldn't that intensify the carnage in the Southeastern Corner?"

In his past life, Madeliku was the mastermind behind the Dark Invasion from the Southeastern Corner.

William had already met with him twice in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, none of them had a chance to kill him.

"Then we must focus all our efforts on development, and develop Dawn City as quickly as possible. The Dark Invasion... is just the beginning." William slowly clenched his fist. In this turbulent World of Gods, even Legendary NPCs are in danger of falling at any moment.

"But I will be the king here in the shadows!"

But a conspiracy is a conspiracy; nothing he did can be exposed, nor will it be known to the world.

Many will perish in this War of Intrigue, and many will die with the name of dying in unknown circumstances...

But there is a famous saying that is very suitable for those who silently dedicate themselves to this cause.

Your names are unknown, but your deeds will live on forever.

This is War of Power.

same.

This is also...

War of Intrigue.

Weakness is the original sin.

Only the strong can crush the weak.

William's strength isn't enough, so he can only resort to scheming. Hopefully, the loopholes aren't too big. The mutual destruction of two High-Class is one such loophole.

Although I mentioned beforehand that the two of them perished together in their past lives, and that Lanster possessed a technique that could destroy both heaven and earth, these two sentences were probably foreshadowing. I wonder if anyone noticed them.

Okay~

This volume is nearing its end; I hope the new volume will bring you an even better sensory experience.
