Lancelot's assassination sent shockwaves through the Knight Empire.
Chancellor Sanchez and the commander-in-chief were furious and launched a large-scale search for spies.
The frontline troops also launched a retaliatory attack, a fierce offensive that disregarded losses, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides and causing great alarm among other forces on the Flame Frost Continent.
Whenever these two superpowers engage in a high-intensity war, they are often the ones who suffer the most.
The logic is simple: avoid a lose-lose situation where someone else reaps the benefits.
Therefore, whenever the intensity of the war between the Knight Empire and the Undying Civilization shows a rapid upward trend, the onlookers on the Flame Frost Continent are often the most worried.
They feared that at any moment, an Undead Race expert or Barbarian Soul Race army might suddenly descend and deliver a severe blow.
Diplomatic notes, like snowflakes, were sent from all over the Flame Frost Continent to the Underworld and Aodu.
The words spoken by all parties were incredibly sincere, describing the dangers of war from every angle; any one of them could be considered a speech worthy of a peace ambassador.
However, before the diplomatic departments of the two superpowers could even begin to wrestle with the smaller powers, the situation became even more complicated.
What happened next was something no one expected.
The Lord of the Undead actually led a group of powerful members of the Undead Race, including True God, Main God, and Supreme God, in a surprise attack on Aodu.
Many high-ranking officials of the Knight Empire betrayed the regime without warning, shutting down the defense systems they were responsible for, leaving a huge vulnerability in Aodu's defenses.
The Lord of the Undead led his subordinates directly into the Aodu.
As an overwhelming aura of the undead and an countless army of the dead descended from the sky, obscuring the heavens and the sun and moon, Aodu was plunged into darkness.
Just then, an extremely domineering aura suddenly rose up, and Emperor Augustus, dressed in jet-black armor, blocked the slowly descending dark sky.
"Was it that old man who gave you the confidence?" A grand voice resounded Aodu. Countless Barbarian Soul Race looked up, their expressions of fear vanishing instantly, replaced by the fervor of seeing faith.
"It's the Emperor!"
"The Emperor has made his move; the Empire will surely prevail!"
"Victory is certain! Slaughter these filthy dead!"
"Kill! Follow in the footsteps of the Great Emperor! The barbarian soul Immortal!"
Roars echoed throughout the Aodu, and even the most ordinary residents of the Aodu were filled with fighting spirit upon seeing Emperor Augustus, and they began to fight against the undead that appeared around them.
Many knights who remained in Aodu for refuge were also forced to step in and help the Barbarian Soul Race fight against the Undying Civilization.
Powerful attacks, brimming with surging Dou Qi, exploded within the undead army.
Greatswords, spears, giant hammers... the knights fought with all sorts of weapons, and there were even powerful knights with mechanical abilities who summoned large numbers of mechanical troops and long-range artillery turrets to unleash a continuous barrage of energy cannon fire with formidable power.
The Barbarian Soul Race fought back fiercely and quickly suppressed the undead army.
But soon, with the arrival of the dark Mage, the battle became intense again.
at the same time.
The highest-ranking Lord of the Undead and Emperor Augustus also engaged in fierce combat, creating a dedicated dimension for battle to avoid damaging the Flame Frost Continent.
The other Supreme God- level powerhouses on both sides, as well as the Main God, also began to fight each other in pairs.
Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings.
The problem is that the Undying Civilization has gained an additional king, the Ancestor of Knights.
This Pathfinder of the knight profession possesses terrifying strength, having reached the Supreme God Realm long ago.
As one of the most universally applicable Transcendent professions in the Astral Realm, the Knight profession has seen countless powerful individuals embark on this Transcendent path.
Countless talents converge in the long river of their careers, quietly contributing their intelligence and wisdom.
The Ancestor of Knights dominated the source of the long river did not initially possess particularly outstanding talent.
His ability to forge a professional knighthood was largely due to a combination of serendipity and favorable circumstances.
At the height of a storm, even a pig can fly.
Using this metaphor to Ancestor of Knights is somewhat inappropriate, but that's the gist of it.
With the blessing of being the Pathfinder, the Ancestor of Knights had a smooth and successful path thereafter, naturally becoming a supreme Supreme God and beginning to seek Eternity status.
Such a powerful being could not be stopped by ordinary Supreme God.
Originally, the Knight Empire, relying on its Aodu defense system built at great cost, could easily withstand the joint attack of the Ancestor of Knights and the Lord of the Undead.
But no one expected that the Ancestor of Knights, the Pathfinder the knightly profession known for its bravery and heroism, would be so treacherous.
Unbeknownst to many, so many hidden threads have been laid within the Knight Empire.
It was activated at a crucial moment and had a remarkable effect.
The torn defensive system could no longer withstand the combined attack of the Lord of the Undead Ancestor of Knights.
Even the Lord of the Undead alone managed to hold off Emperor Augustus.
Despite their superior combat power, the latter could not escape the Lord of the Undead.
They could only watch helplessly as the Ancestor of Knights, this unstoppable super boss, wreaked havoc throughout the city of Aodu.
One by one, powerful knights who had come from all corners of the Astral Realm, believing that the Knight Empire could protect them, fell helplessly at the hands of the Ancestor of Knights.
His own path was directly swallowed up and absorbed by the Ancestor of Knights, turning into the power that made him stronger.
Originally, in the Astral Realm, these powerful knights had many escape routes to choose from.
But trapped in this Aodu, there was nowhere to run.
Even knights of Main God- like power are no exception; there is nowhere to hide.
The near-one-sided Slaughter continue.
The various strengths of the Knight Empire forced them to unleash their powerful weapons of war.
However, it was of little use against the powerful Supreme God, the Ancestor of Knights.
At most, it can delay the enemy's attack and buy time for the Barbarian Soul Race's genius elites to withdraw from Aodu.
Even the Lord of the Undead hadn't expected the raid to go so smoothly.
I couldn't help but think how wise the decision was to cooperate with the Ancestor of Knights.
The chaos outside also affected Lancelot, who was absorbing the Infinity Gem in the stone palace.
"What's going on?" He opened his eyes and looked at Baghdad, who was rushing towards him.
The latter's expression was more solemn than ever before, and even his hands were trembling slightly.
"The Lord of the Undead and the Ancestor of Knights joined forces to launch a surprise attack on Aodu. Due to the machinations of spies, Aodu's defense system developed loopholes, and the capital was breached."
"The Emperor is being held back by the Lord of the Undead, while the Ancestor of Knights is wreaking havoc within the city, slaughtering knights and dark Mage..."
Baghdad's words echoed in the stone temple.
Even with Lancelot's composed nature, he showed a look of astonishment.
Could it be that I've been under a time spell, and thousands of years have actually passed in the outside world?
Although the current situation in the Astral Realm is turbulent and changes very quickly, something like Aodu... is indeed a bit too fast.
