Secrets of History
Sure enough, the fog quickly dissipated, revealing a different scene.
A vast battlefield stretched out Mad Lion Knights gradually retreated into the distance. The ground was littered with the corpses of the Rhine Empire soldiers. Clearly, the Mad Lion Knights' Charge had decisively routed a Rhine Empire force, leaving only a small remnant.
Amidst the corpses, over a hundred Rhine Empire soldiers were being besieged by twice the number of soldiers in blue armor; many bodies lay on the ground.
Those soldiers in blue armor were flying the flag of the Stein Kingdom.
The Rhine Empire's soldiers formed a circular formation, while the Stein Kingdom's soldiers attacked from all sides.
Xiao Yu was somewhat anxious; how could he possibly rescue so many enemy troops?
Suddenly, he noticed the corpses on the ground. Haha, I know!
Corpse Explosion! With a wave of his hand, beams of ghostly light entered the corpses on the ground, and instantly, the corpses...
One by one, they swelled up like inflated balloons, and then burst.
Corpse Explosion is one of the most powerful level three spells. It can detonate the energy inside a corpse to create an explosion. Its specific power largely depends on the number of corpses in the location. The more corpses there are, the greater the power. And where is there more corpses than a battlefield?
The result was a series of explosions.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, creating a spectacular scene. The soldiers of the Stein Kingdom were blown about in the explosions, some even killed instantly, and then they too were blown up, making for a truly magnificent sight.
One Corpse Explosion killed forty or fifty people, injured more than a hundred, and left the rest dumbfounded, completely stunned by the blast.
"Kill!" Xiao Yu shouted, and the soldiers followed Xiao Yu and charged forward. The morale of the Rhine Empire soldiers soared, while the Stein Kingdom soldiers were completely stunned by the bomb and suffered a crushing defeat. In the blink of an eye, they were all killed or wounded, some dying and others fleeing.
After scattering the enemy forces, the two sides regrouped. "Thank goodness, boss, you're finally here! If you hadn't come, we would have been done for!"
Seeing Xiao Yu and Big Water Cunt, two people from the Rhine Empire's team stepped forward and said with relief.
They were clearly Xiao Yu's teammates, but they were Voldemort and the Sword of the Fallen Angel.
Why aren't you using your skills?
"Huh? Can we use skills?" Both of them were stunned.
Xiao Yu was speechless; these people really didn't think things through.
"I can't use skills! What did I just use?!"
"Uh, okay, we forgot."
It seems these two are the Sword of the Fallen Angel and Voldemort. The Sword of the Fallen Angel looks very young, probably in his early twenties, while Voldemort is actually a man in his forties.
Now I've finally met the real person.
"Let's go! Our mission isn't over yet!" Xiao Yu said, about to continue forward.
The Sword of the Fallen Angel had already approached. Upon seeing his face, it suddenly widened its eyes, staring at Xiao Yu with an expression of disbelief, "My God, you are actually— Xiao Yu!?"
Xiao Yu was startled, wondering how he could have figured it out. But he quickly realized that he had returned to his human form and looked exactly the same as in reality. In reality, he was a famous person, so it was not strange that he was recognized.
Feeling a little embarrassed, I chuckled, "Heh, I didn't expect you to recognize me after all."
The Sword of the Fallen Angel was extremely excited. "Damn, my idol! No wonder you're so good at games. I was wondering why, even I, a beta tester, wasn't as good as you."
"Oh, not at all, you actually did pretty well too." Xiao Yu patted Sword of the Fallen Angel's Sword on the shoulder, and Sword of the Fallen Angel immediately became excited, "Idol, can you give me an autograph later?"
"Sure, sure, but let's not talk about that now. We need to hurry and save the Emperor. By the way, have you seen Chenghong Moli?"
No, she's not with us.
With these soldiers gathered, Xiao Yu's army grew to over 150 men. However, Xiao Yu knew that this force of over 100 men would have a negligible impact on the battlefield; he had to save the Emperor first.
The group continued forward and soon reached the edge of the area, which was shrouded in mist. This time, however, a secluded path appeared as they passed through the mist.
A knight clad in magnificent plate armor stood in an open space, seemingly waiting for something.
"Who is that person?" Xiao Yu asked curiously, hidden among the weapons.
"It's Lord Olorin. Strange, what's he doing here?"
Olorin! Holy crap, isn't that the traitor who assassinated Odyssey?
If he could just kill him, would the mission be complete? However, the other party had a horse, and Xiao Yu was afraid that he would be discovered as soon as he emerged from the fog.
At that moment, a Mad Lion Knights burst out of the mist on the other side and quickly arrived in front of Olorin.
"Odyssey is more formidable than we anticipated. The front lines are at a stalemate, Lord Olorin. Your master has ordered you to take action."
"I can't do that! Lord Odyssey trusts me completely; I can't treat him like this!"
Unexpectedly, Olorin refused.
The Mad Lion Knights sneered, "This is the price that must be paid. Think of your family, think of your wife, think of your children. If you don't act, they will all die, and even in death, their souls will never find peace. They believe in the God of Light; they will face eternal torment. Do you want that to happen?"
Upon hearing this, Olorin immediately fell silent.
"Holy crap, there's even such an inside story! That God of Light is so despicable!" Xiao Yu exclaimed in shock upon hearing the Big Water Cunt behind him.
Seeing that Olorin didn't speak, the Mad Lion Knights knew that the other party had tacitly agreed.
"The Rhine Empire is destined to perish. This fate of destruction was sealed the moment Odyssey rejected the grace of my lord. In this world, only the gods are truth, and only by submitting to the gods can there be a future."
As he spoke, he casually tossed a dagger over.
"This dagger is imbued with the divine power of my lord. Throw it into Odyssey's body, Odyssey will surely die; no magic can heal him—go, Olorin, do not disappoint my lord."
After saying that, the Mad Lion Knights left and disappeared into the mist.
"Quick, rush over there and grab him!" Xiao Yu shouted, leading the charge!
The crowd behind him immediately followed suit and rushed out.
