With golden-white wings flapping, Jiang Jie hovered twenty meters in the air.
Then, the golden-white wings remained, but a phantom human girl separated from Jiang Jie's body, quickly solidified, and stood back to back with Jiang Jie, holding a very, very beautiful sea-blue staff in her hand.
She waved her staff, and a golden barrier appeared, enveloping the entire house and blocking all the hundreds of bats that were flying out of the house. Each bat was unable to leave, as if it had crashed into a wall.
Brigitte's gaze was once again drawn to Jiang Jie.
He saw the famous divine sword " Strom'kar " appear in his hand, and then a tiny firebird emerged from the sword.
She recognized the creature; it was the phoenix, the favorite animal of the High Elf kingdom, a rare sight even in Silvermoon City. Marquis Nicholas actually owned one?
The phoenix, no bigger than a palm, grows larger in the wind, becoming larger than a giant eagle in less than three seconds, with a wingspan of over five meters, soaring through the sky.
It opened its mouth, and a blazing flame shot out, sweeping across the sky within the barrier in the next second.
The sky is ablaze with fiery light, the fire of the phoenix.
With a series of piercing screams, bats were burned to ashes. The fiery flames, powerful enough to melt steel, were far beyond the limits of flesh and blood. As for the Shadow energy within the bats...?
They encountered an even more formidable opponent.
The phoenix is not golden-red, but a deep blue with a hint of purple.
It was originally a Shadow Phoenix, and its energy level was in no way inferior to that of the Dreadlord Balnazzar.
In its normal form, Balnazzar might still be able to fight it head-on, but in this desperate escape state, Balnazzar is incredibly vulnerable; how could it possibly contend with it?
Within seconds, at least half of the bats were burned to ashes, and the remaining bats quickly coalesced, reverting to their Dreadlord form, but with their energy intensity reduced by almost half.
Jiang Jie didn't give Balnazzar a chance to break through the barrier. The barrier that Anveena casually created could block the charge of phoenixes, but it couldn't stop the attack of the Dreadlord.
Stepping on the Nine Provinces Yu Walking Step, Jiang Jie instantly teleported in front of Balnazzar, his divine sword condensing a yellow-white sword light, and pierced into Balnazzar's body.
The temperature, exceeding three thousand degrees, instantly evaporated and sublimated the blood it touched. Jiang Jie raised his sword upwards, splitting Balnazzar's upper body in two.
The Dreadlord was not dead and tried to resist, but with a flash of sword light, Jiang Jie easily severed his claws. Claws that could pierce steel were meaningless in front of the divine sword Strom'kar, no different from paper.
The Dreadlord, though incapable of fear, knew only anger. Helpless against Jiang Jie's attack, a shriek did not cause Jiang Jie even a second of pause as the divine sword mercilessly severed his other claw.
This time, Balnazzar didn't flee into the sky; instead, he flew towards the house.
He knew he couldn't escape, so he planned to kill a few people before he died.
But at that moment, the entire house erupted with an even stronger Holy Light, and a Sword of Holy Light pierced through the roof, striking him in the chest.
The next moment, the exploding Holy Fire purified everything, and Balnazzar had nowhere to escape.
In the sky and on the ground, two divine swords completely surrounded him, with Phoenix and Anveena on either side. Where could he possibly escape to?
When the Holy Light and flames erupted once more, the Dreadlord was left with only a few bones, utterly dead, and kicked back into the Twisting Nether.
I will come back again!
Balnazzar's furious roar echoed in the sky, but Jiang Jie no longer cared.
Yes, the Dreadlord could not have been killed in this environment; his soul was bound to the Twisting Nether and had already returned Twisting Nether.
But it will take time for him to rebuild his body, and it will also take time for him to arrive in Azeroth; it will take at least one or two years.
If you're not afraid of him now, why would you be afraid in the future?
hehe.
The buildings collapsed, but the few survivors had their own ways of surviving and quickly emerged from the ruins. However, more than half of the high-ranking members of Tyr's Hand had died, including Lord Valdelmar. It was unclear what the situation would be like next.
A gloomy and desolate atmosphere prevailed.
Abbendis, being a formidable old general, looked around and then roared, "What are you all standing around for? Wake everyone up right now! Demons have infiltrated Tyr's Hand? Who knows how many demons are still in this city!"
Then, he turned to Jiang Jie and Fenna, took a deep breath, and pleaded, " Marquis Nicholas, Ashbringer, Tyr's Hand needs your help!"
After realizing their identities had been exposed, the demons lurking in Tyr's Hand immediately stirred up chaos and engaged in indiscriminate slaughter.
Although Jiang Jie and his group acted swiftly, by the time the first rays of sunlight appeared in the east, all the inhabitants of Tyr's Hand were filled with fear and unease, for at least two thousand people had died in the riots, more than a hundred demons had been killed, and many more had escaped in the chaos.
More than five hundred demons have infiltrated Tyr's Hand without being discovered?
The hot-tempered General Abbendis was furious and almost ordered a citywide curfew and a thorough search, but Jiang Jie dissuaded him.
"Stabilize public morale, General Abbendis." Jiang Jie gently shook his head. "There are definitely still demons lurking, but at this time, stability is the most important thing. Announce to the whole city that the demons have been completely wiped out. Don't cause any more panic. Otherwise... do you want the people of Tyr's Hand to flee everywhere?"
General Abbendis awoke with a start and quickly copied the instructions.
ginger
Jie frowned.
The devil's plot has been exposed, but the hidden dangers it has brought are unknown how long it will take to completely eliminate.
The human heart is not like clothing; once broken, it cannot be mended.
What worries Jiang Jie even more is that the formation of the Scarlet Crusade is probably unstoppable, and this incident will likely hasten its formation!
He soon learned from the priestess Demetria that it wasn't just General Abbendis who supported the formation of the Scarlet Crusade, but also Old Mograine, Bishop Isillien, and more than a third of the officers of the entire Order of the Silver Hand.
The Scarlet Crusade wasn't formed because of Balnazzar's suggestion; internal divisions within the Order of the Silver Hand had always existed, and it was bound to split sooner or later.
To be precise, the differences between Tirion Fordring, Old Mograine, Uther, and others have always existed.
However, while Tirion Fordring was relatively mild-mannered, Old Mograine was much more assertive.
Jiang Jie originally thought that as long as Uther was alive, this disagreement would never turn into a rift, because Uther's prestige was high enough to suppress everything.
But Old Mograine also became Legendary.
This means that a second voice has emerged within the Order of the Silver Hand.
Therefore, this disagreement was bound to erupt sooner or later, and the formation of the Scarlet Crusade was unstoppable.
Everything that happened in Tyr's Hand had to be reported to Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent as quickly as possible. Jiang Jie and Fenna's time together had to be interrupted. Fenna stayed in Tyr's Hand to help General Abbendis stabilize the situation, while Jiang Jie went to Lordaeron in person to report.
He then stayed in Lordaeron.
Aside from Lord Valdelmar, the most prestigious and highest-ranking person in Tyr's Hand was General Abbendis, who naturally became the lord of Tyr's Hand, responsible for managing the Tyr's Hand and combining military and political power.
In other words, his current power is actually greater than that of the original Valdelmar.
Three days later, a proposal from Southshore was placed on Her Majesty's desk.
Seven days later, the Scarlet Crusade was officially established.
