"My lord..." The personal guards and protectors on the flagship Shout out in alarm. Who would dare to provoke King of Chambord now? Wouldn't that be courting death? In their haste, several experts with strength between level seven and eight, in shock, leaped into the air and chased after him on the water, wanting to bring him all back.
"Don't come any closer, go back!" Lloris flicked his long sleeves, and an invisible force surged forth, pulling all the experts back onto the deck.
"Foolish! The situation is critical, why are you still hesitating? Immediately order the army to retreat and preserve the strength of the Imperial Navy!" Lloris turned around and shouted angrily, "Among the army, only I can hold off this peerless villain for a moment. If you do not lead the army away immediately, and the navy suffers unbearable losses, you will be the sinners of the great Lyon Empire!"
These words were spoken with absolute certainty.
Those experts and generals of the Lyon Empire who originally insisted on returning to fight alongside their commander were stunned by the majesty of King of Buckingham and stood frozen on the ship. In particular, the trusted generals and personal guards all showed expressions of painful struggle on their faces, but in the end, reason prevailed over emotion.
Take care, my lord!
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The men of Lyon looked up at the towering figure in the sky with adoration, fighting back tears, and gave a unified imperial salute. They roared and commanded the soldiers and sailors on the ship to retreat as quickly as possible.
"How ironic..."
A wry smile appeared on the young and handsome face of Lyon King of Buckingham.
Just last night, my elite Lyon army gained a decisive advantage, forcing the poor, lowly Byzantium to abandon a small portion of their troops and flee in panic from the Byzantium capital. I even personally ordered the slaughter of those desperate Byzantium who had risked their lives to delay their retreat...
At that time, he held the fate of others in his hands and killed indiscriminately.
Who knew that less than twelve hours later, the same fate would befall me?
"However, I will not be so easily killed like those lowly Byzantium. King of Chambord Alexander, let me, King of Buckingham Lloris, test whether you are truly as invincible as the legends say... Fighting such a powerful opponent is truly exhilarating!"
Lloris was filled with a surge of fighting spirit. He turned around, ready to strike first and charge towards the black warship.
But the moment he turned around, he was suddenly shocked, his mind reeling, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
He saw a handsome, black-haired young man in a white robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, who had silently intruded within twenty meters of him. The young man stood with his arms crossed, watching him with great interest, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Without much thought, Lloris instantly knew that this otherworldly young man with jet-black hair was none other than Alexander, the legendary Zenit Guardian Martial Saint who had single-handedly kept the entire Lyon Empire breathless for the past five or six days.
In a narrow encounter, the brave will prevail!
Without saying a word, he immediately seized the credit.
Endless flames surged from Lloris's body, as if the world had been plunged into a furnace, the temperature scorching. He held nothing back, fully aware of the terrifying opponent he faced. At the same time, he instantly activated at least six forbidden fire magic scrolls with the attack power of Moon Class Great Perfection. Six Rock Giant, each a hundred meters tall and engulfed in flames hot enough to melt steel, appeared out of thin air, surrounding King of Chambord in the center and launching a relentless attack.
The intense heat caused a large amount of seawater to evaporate instantly, and the sea fog that had begun to dissipate suddenly became thick again, creating a dense fog that reduced visibility to a minimum. The Lyon Navy fleet was hidden in the thick fog.
However, facing the deadly attack, Sun Fei neither Dodge nor defended.
He stood there quietly, and all the attacks that came before him vanished instantly, like boiling water poured on snow.
In fact, Sun Fei greatly admired the decisiveness of this Lyon commander. Sun Fei had already arrived on the battlefield when Heskey, that big oaf, roared, and he had witnessed all of Lloris's actions.
Without a doubt, from a purely military perspective, this young man is a respectable opponent.
However, this does not mean that Sun Fei will stay behind.
You are no match for me.
After uttering these words, His Majesty the King, facing such a devastating attack, merely waved his hand. There was no change in the heavens and earth, nor any overwhelming force. It was as if a wisp of smoke was dispersed by a gentle breeze. With this wave of his hand, the six Moon Class Great Perfection Realm Flame Stone Men, capable of conquering cities and plundering lands, suddenly vanished into the world, as if they had never existed.
At the same time, the thick white fog at sea vanished completely in an instant, and the massive Lyon naval fleet, which had almost disappeared under the cover of the fog, was revealed once again.
The Byzantium warships began their pursuit.
From the [ King Alexander ], massive crossbow bolts shimmering with magical light shot out, tracing colorful arcs through the air and piercing the side decks of the four nearest Lyon warships. The terrifying magical explosions instantly blasted huge holes in the hulls, and seawater uncontrollably poured into the cabins through the holes.
As the four warships were about to be swallowed by the waves, the Lyon soldiers on the deck let out desperate cries and jumped into the water!
At the same time, more than thirty warriors leaped out from the [ King Alexander ], stepping on the waves at incredible speed, like arrows released from a bow, and chased after the two fleeing warships in the distance.
King of Buckingham Lloris, who was already intimidated by Sun Fei's strength, was even more astonished by this scene.
He could tell that these warriors, who were chasing the imperial army with dazzling speed like bouncing stars, were all at least Six-Star Class level in strength. Each one of them was like a tiger released from its cage or a dragon that had entered the sea, full of killing intent. In the ordinary army, they were all experts who could stand alone and easily take on a hundred men. If these people caught up with the imperial warships, he was afraid that four or five of them could capture a warship.
The people of Chambord truly live up to their reputation!
He wanted to stop him, but the terrifying enemy, King of Chambord, left him powerless to intervene. With just a simple glance from his opponent, he felt as if he were bound by an invisible force, too afraid to move, and had an extreme sense of danger that made his hair stand on end.
On the sea.
The Byzantium and the Chambord quickly formed a united front.
The Lyon retreated with all their might, but there was no immediate chaos.
The military power of a sixth-level empire is not to be bullied at will. They cannot fight against a powerful expert like Sun Fei, who is at the Great Sun-Rank Venerable. However, they still showed fierceness against ordinary opponents. Hundreds of warships retreated rapidly in an inverted cone shape. Magical flames flashed on the warships, powerful crossbows roared, and arrows like rain swept across the sky, forcing the approaching opponents back.
After launching its first wave of attacks, the [ King Alexander ] ceased its offensive activities and maintained a strange state of silence. For the Lyon people, as long as a peerless powerhouse like King of Chambord did not participate in ordinary attacks, they could retain most of their strength even if they suffered some losses.
However, today is destined not to be their lucky day.
Because at that very moment, an unexpected event occurred—
call out!
call out!
Two streams of light, imbued with terrifying magical energy, appeared almost simultaneously from the deck of the [ King Alexander ].
These two arrows, radiating boundless brilliance, were like dazzling meteors piercing the heavens and earth, trailing trails of light that were impossible to look away from. They stole all the glory on the battlefield and flew towards the last massive ship at the tip of the Lyon's inverted cone formation.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!
Snap! Crack! Crack!
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the enormous warship, which could be considered the flagship of the Lyon Empire's navy, was blasted into pieces by the two arrows. At least half of the ship's hundred-meter-long hull collapsed in an instant, as if what struck the ship was not two arrows, but an indestructible magic cannon!
This is absolutely terrifying!
Everyone turned around and saw that, at some point, two young archers were standing on the deck of the [ King Yalishan ]. Both of them had flowing golden hair that shone with a dazzling luster, their eyebrows were like swords slanting upwards, their eyes were like bright stars, their temperament was otherworldly, their figures were slender and handsome, and they looked like an extremely handsome pair of twins.
The two handsome men stood there like two dazzling Sun, so bright that one could not look directly at them. It was as if the Creator had bestowed all good things upon them. Even the most self-important man would feel ashamed in their presence.
If you look closely, you can see that there are differences between the two.
The man on the left has slightly shorter blond hair, a somewhat thin build, and a pale face. His handsome appearance exudes an aura of detachment from the hustle and bustle of the world. The longbow in his hand is like a branch just cut from a treetop, still covered with green leaves and dewdrops, radiating an indescribable natural charm.
The man on the right had a slightly serious expression. His long blond hair cascaded down like a waterfall. He wore light armor, and his limbs were long, strong, and powerful. Although his muscles were not as bulging as if they were carved from Rock, they were full of explosive power. He had a healthy aura amidst his handsome appearance. In his hand was a strange longbow that looked like two curved swords forming the wings of an eagle, and it shimmered with a metallic luster.
These two were actually both experts at the Moon Class.
To shatter a naval warship with a single arrow is something only a special martial artist among Moon Class experts, who is extremely skilled in archery and advanced to the Moon Class through the art of archery, could accomplish.
In naval battles, these two powerful figures are practically deadly killers of warships.
Especially in the absence of an equally powerful opponent, the Lyon navy was like fresh meat exposed to a lion, with no room for struggle or resistance, and could only wait to be slaughtered.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Two extremely handsome blond archers, as if competing in archery skills and lethality, calmly vibrated their bowstrings, and one after another, streaks of blue and green light shot out from their longbows, like invitations from the Grim Reaper, continuously shattering the giant ships of the Lyon people!
In the sky.
Sun Fei didn't want to get entangled with the Lyon Navy commander any further.
Lloris was only at the peak of the ninth Upper-Stage Half Moon Class, weaker than even the legendary prince Gomi of the Lyon Empire seven days ago. How could he possibly be a match for Sun Fei?
Moreover, in the past four days, Sun Fei has been killing monsters and leveling up in the world of Diablo, completing the first five quests of the first act [ Rogue Encampment ]. His strength has increased dramatically, reaching level 15 in Hell Difficulty, which is equivalent to the fifth stage of the mid-level Rising Sun Stage in the Moon -Great Sun-Rank Venerable realm. The difference in strength between the two is immeasurable.
With a thought, Sun Fei could completely freeze Lloris's Flame-Element Dou Qi.
Looking down, the Lyon navy also suffered a crushing defeat.
The sea was littered with tattered deck planks, floating corpses, collapsed masts, oak barrels, canvas, and massive whirlpools created by sinking warships, like giant black maws of the ocean, constantly devouring all life on the surface.
The smell of blood even attracted many terrifying sea beasts and monsters. Soldiers struggling in terror were constantly swallowed by tentacles, claws, or giant mouths that suddenly emerged from beneath the water.
Although the temporary commander tried his best to salvage the situation, even severing about fifty warships to form a defensive line, sacrificing these warships with the determination of a warrior cutting off his own arm to buy time for the other hundred-plus warships to retreat, his tactics and strategies were correct. However, those fifty-plus rearguard warships were already on the verge of being defeated.
King of Buckingham Lloris roared furiously.
He knew the situation was extremely dangerous. The military operation he had planned to wipe out the Zenit naval forces had consumed a large amount of the Lyon Empire's material reserves. The imperial fleet that had come from afar was about to face the danger of defeat because of the appearance of the Chambord. He would become the sinner of this war and the sinner of the empire. He was extremely anxious, and his eyes were glowing red.
"Aaaaaah, I agree! I agree! Give me power! I need power!"
Lloris suddenly and inexplicably roared.
As if he had suddenly made some difficult decision, a look of pain and determination flashed across his handsome young face, and then in an instant, a demonic red light flickered in his eyes, his blood-red eyes seeming like pools of blood surging.
A red powdery mist continuously emanated from his body, eerie and terrifying.
At the same time, an indescribable powerful force erupted from his body, creating a red aura that spread outwards in all directions like lightning. His muscles bulged beneath his silver armor, and he became much larger, as if he had transformed.
Half Moon Class Great Perfection...
Full Moon Lower Stage First Tier...
Full Moon Middle Stage Fourth Tier...
Moon Class Great Perfection...
Lloris's strength rose rapidly at an incredible speed, quickly breaking through the Moon Class gate and advancing to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable realm. He even maintained his upward momentum, and it was unknown what astonishing realm he would eventually reach.
Sun Fei's expression suddenly turned serious.
This was a scene all too familiar to him.
Two-in-one.
