The brilliant light on the array solidified into starlight floating in the air, mixed with the black light emitted from the black flowers, as clear as the night sky.
Seeing that the array was operating normally, Christian knelt on one knee in front of the array and devoutly recited:
"Sword of Order;
"The embodiment of rules;
"The master of all laws;
"The protector of the Kingdom of Loen.
"Your loyal follower begs for your attention and descent!"
After the incantation was completed, the starlight in the array exploded, and in the colorful light, the colored light actually had a misty feeling.
Then a vortex appeared in the color, and it quickly expanded, eventually forming a phantom door.
Suddenly, a somewhat illusory figure appeared in the door, and this figure quickly solidified. A middle-aged man with a cloak, black hair, blue eyes, a square face, and a dignified temperament walked out of it.
The whole process was like a person coming from the distant void to the real world.
Then four people walked out of the phantom door one after another. The second person was a slightly arrogant old man. His black hair was mixed with a lot of silver threads, and he had no beard on his face. This was Duke Dlink Augustus of Southville.
Hobert was familiar with the third person. He had a long face and wore a white wig on his head. Most importantly, he was wearing a dress, a cloak, and extremely long shoe tips, which were out of touch with the current era.
Hobert could be sure that this was the person who hosted the Beyonder gathering in the mercenary club, and should have the level of Sequence 3.
Of the remaining two people, one was a lady in a black dress, and the other was a handsome man with black hair, golden eyes, a neat dress, mature and refined.
The Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter" who hosted the Beyonder gathering and whose dress was out of touch with the contemporary era was Grov Augustus. The other two were Georgina and Selt, both outstanding members of the royal family's saints.
Of course, the first to come out was the "Protector" William Augustus. He examined Christian and his son who were kneeling in front of the magic circle: "Christian!"
Christian lowered his head: "Your subordinate is here."
"You did a good job." William said in a dignified tone: "According to your agreement with George, there is a Duke title in Backlund, and an Beyonder characteristic of 'Chaos Hunter' is waiting for you."
Then he said to Hobert: "Child, you should be Hobert, right? In Backlund, there is also a Viscount title waiting for you."
This was to reiterate the benefits they could get before the war. The people behind William were all members of the Augustus family. Of course, they did not want an King of Angels to appear in the Feynapotter royal family, so of course they would fight with all their strength.
So before the upcoming battle, William wanted to make a final effort to win over Christian and his son.
Christian and Hobert said respectfully together: "Thank you 'Protector'!"
"Get up!" William said.
Christian got up and said: "I will lead the way for you, and my son will stay and wait for an opportunity to control the sealed item in Alhambra Palace."
"No need to lead the way." William looked outside the door: "I can feel where Castiya is. You guys try to keep up with me!"
After saying that, He walked in the front and left this secret space.
For a moment, the nobles and senior officials who came to participate in the celebration trembled unconsciously, which was a fear and tremor from the depths of their souls.
But they looked around and found nothing was wrong.
William led an angel and four demigods, and swaggered through the front hall, which was the most crowded at this time.
It wasn't that no one noticed them, but everyone was afraid to look William in the eye, or even look in His direction.
After William and the others passed by, everyone realized that something was wrong, and they discussed what big shot had just passed by?
William and others also discovered that there was not a single demigod-level figure in the front hall, which showed that Castiya was also prepared.
Of course, there would be preparations. It would be strange if the Castiya family had no preparations for such a big event.
Christian, who was following behind William and the others, found that although his steps were normal, every step seemed to be able to walk more than 20 meters!
This was because William stipulated: For members of his own side, the distance in front of them was shortened by one-twentieth, so one step was equivalent to the previous twenty steps.
They only took about twenty steps and came to the remote area of the palace. In front of a seemingly ordinary hall, William stopped, and his majestic aura soared: "Philip!"
Philip Castiya was Philip I, the "Founder" of the Feynapotter Kingdom.
A middle-aged man in his forties walked slowly out of the hall. He had black hair, a black beard, and a face full of stubble. He wore a black felt hat and looked very easy-going.
It was Philip I whom Christian and Hobert had met before.
He was still holding the "Trunsoest Brass Book" in his hand, standing in front of the hall and also exuding a majesty that made people dare not look directly at him: "William, you really came after all, but your speed is faster than I expected."
William sneered: "Philip, your tricks are still so naive! So easy to see through!"
They were not only old rivals, but also former colleagues, so they called each other by their names.
Philip I glanced at Christian: "So a little mouse came into Alhambra Palace."
Christian noticed that about one-fifth of the Brass Book had been integrated into Philip I's chest.
William, or rather William I, suddenly drew a silver rapier from the air. Without rushing forward, the distance between Him and Philip I quickly shortened.
The battle suddenly began after these two old rivals simply "reminisced".
Duke Dlink of Southville stepped forward to prepare to flank Philip I. A young man in Feynapotter-style leather armor came in from the side door of the yard: "Dlink, we meet again."
He was Chester, the angel of the Castiya family. He became an angel in the war when he was very young, so he still looks young at this time.
The last time the two fought was in the "War of the Violated Oath" more than 600 years ago, and they were also old rivals.
Chester loudly proclaimed His "Law": "This is the palace of the Feynapotter Kingdom, and the power of the Feynapotter people should be enhanced!"
Dlink also proclaimed His "Law": "For the sake of fairness, the side with fewer people should have their power enhanced!"
The reason why Dlink has such a "Law" is because the saints of the Castiya family, who had been waiting nearby, came to the courtyard one after another, and the battle at the saint level immediately broke out.
After Chester proclaimed his "Law", a silver-white sword appeared in his hand. This was the "Sword of Order", a skill that could only be possessed after becoming a "Balancer".
At the level of "Balancer", they themselves represent order, and the "Sword of Order" is a physical weapon composed of the power of the "Balancer" to control order.
In the blink of an eye, Chester appeared in front of Dlink: "Old thing, I guess you are too old to walk."
Dlink's "Sword of Order" also appeared instantly, blocking Chester's attack: "Little guy, you are still so rude!"
Then He shouted loudly: "Chester Castiya does not respect the elderly and should be punished!"
A solid black leather whip appeared in the void, with sharp barbs, and lashed towards Chester's back.
Chester's body flashed with silver-white light, resisting the attack of the leather whip. He retaliated in kind: "Dlink Augustus, invading Alhambra Palace, should be punished!"
A thick wooden stick appeared from the void, with a sharp ax at the top of the stick.
This specially shaped wooden stick smashed towards Dlink, but it was also blocked by the silver-white light emanating from Dlink's body.
These two old rivals are too familiar with each other, and their battle is impossible to determine the winner in a short time.
The four demigods on the Loen side are only responsible for blocking the demigods of the Castiya family who hold powerful sealed items.
Dlink's eyes glanced towards William I, the key to this battle is still with the two "Firsts".
Fortunately, the process of Philip I integrating the Uniqueness has already begun, and His current state is very unstable. If he is lucky, he can not only stop the enemy's intentions, but also seize the "Trunsoest Brass Book".
...
After William I and others left, Hobert couldn't help but smile. These adults really didn't take away the Beyonder characteristic of "Secrets Sorcerer."
It's not that they don't value this Beyonder characteristic at the demigod level, but they all have sealed items with strong negative effects on their bodies at this time. It is not a wise move to bring an Beyonder characteristic with divinity.
Now they have more important things to do, and this Beyonder characteristic is not that important compared to that matter.
Hobert deformed the fire lacquer seal on his waist, wrapped the Beyonder characteristic of "Secrets Sorcerer", and then put it into his pocket.
If no one asks him for it later, he will of course pretend not to know.
It's public property, so don't take it for nothing.
After waiting for a minute or two, Hobert estimated that the battle had already begun, so he came to the black flower and said in ancient Hermes: "Secrecy!"
The flower retracted and turned into a goose egg-sized fruit again, the black light disappeared, and the state of secrecy no longer existed.
Hobert cautiously changed the shape of the watch key on his waist and wrapped the fruit.
In this way, in the eyes of the sealed item in Alhambra Palace, Hobert has no magical items on his body, and will not "pay attention" to him.
Taking a deep breath, Hobert ran out of the side hall and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
By now, the outside was already in chaos. Although the battle between Chester and Dlink was of a high level, it didn't seem to create much commotion.
However, the battle at the Saint level felt like they couldn't hold back their strength.
Just now, a door flew over from the battlefield, turning several nobles into minced meat!
Even without Hobert shouting, they knew there was an enemy attack.
Hobert dared to run out and shout so openly because he guessed that his and his father's identities couldn't be exposed so quickly, at least not everyone knew they were betraying the country for the second time.
The last time they betrayed the country, Hobert just went through the motions, but this time he had a substantial mission, which made Hobert somewhat excited.
After joining the chaotic crowd, Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, as this way no guards would notice him.
The momentum of the battle over there grew larger and larger, and everyone basically felt the pressure from the Beyonders, so people began to run out the door one after another.
At this moment, Hobert suddenly shouted: "You fools! Protect the King! Now is when the Feynapotter Kingdom needs us the most!"
He judged that the sealed artifact was likely near the King's current location, because such an arrangement could form an effective response. Ferdinand II and the sealed artifact both needed protection now, and if the two were not far apart, the manpower to protect them could support each other.
But it was definitely not Ferdinand II in control, as that would be too dangerous.
Many nobles were scared out of their wits and didn't want to stay here for a moment. Ignoring Hobert's calls, they continued to run outside.
But some nobles and officials realized that this was indeed an opportunity to show themselves, but they would not remind those fools who only knew how to escape, and instead spontaneously went to the King's bedroom.
After shouting twice, Hobert followed the crowd forward. He didn't know where Ferdinand II's bedroom was and needed these opportunists to lead the way.
The battle over there became more and more intense, and occasionally walls, wood, and corpses flew over, either smashing down several walls or killing and injuring several people.
Hobert sighed: This is as exciting as charging forward in the face of artillery fire.
Some people obviously wanted to retreat, but most people's eyes were still firm. For opportunists, such an opportunity only comes a few times in a lifetime.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was about to rain, and then lightning struck the ground one after another. Hobert guessed that it should be the sealed artifact used in the battle over there.
Arriving at the bedroom area of the Alhambra Palace, it was already in chaos. Except for the guards who were still holding their posts, the maids and eunuchs were following their masters to safe places to take refuge.
Following the crowd, Hobert arrived outside the Cassia Hall where Ferdinand II was, but was blocked by the guards who were waiting in full force.
The nobles shouted to protect Ferdinand II. After a while, a eunuch came out and shouted: "The King has ordered: You protect the bedroom from the outside. After this battle is over, everyone will be rewarded!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Ferdinand II let everyone stay, their actions to risk protecting the King would not be buried.
Hobert had already retreated to the back of the crowd. He noticed that there were also many guards guarding a palace not far from Ferdinand II's bedroom.
That should be his target. He reached into his clothes, preparing to take out the two Grade 1 Sealed Artifacts.
It was no longer possible to use the crowd to conceal his tracks in the next action. He would be exposed the moment he acted, so the next attack must be fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Boom~
Just as Hobert was about to act, a silver object smashed half of the Cassia Hall.
The silver-white object did not decelerate at all, passing through the crowd and smashing into a palace behind everyone.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, stunned by the scene in front of them.
It turned out that wherever the silver-white object passed, whether it was an Beyonder or an ordinary person, they were smashed to pieces, forming a passage of blood, broken limbs, and internal organs.
The people on both sides of the passage were splattered with a lot of blood!
"Ah!"
It was unknown who shouted first. The nobles scurried away with their heads in their hands. Most of them had never been on a battlefield. Even if they went to the army, they were just there for gilding. Where had they seen this scene?
Even the palace guards were a little shaken. Under the loud scolding of the captain of the guard, they hurried to check the situation in Cassia Hall.
Even Hobert, who had committed so many murders, felt a little nauseous at the sight of this scene.
However, this created an opportunity for him. He also pretended to be frightened, "twisting" the direction in which several nobles were fleeing, and ran towards his target.
While running, he glanced at the palace where a wall had been knocked down by the silver object. If he was not mistaken, the silver object was a person!
Sure enough, Hobert saw the ruins formed by the collapsed wall being lifted, and a figure emitting a silver-white light appeared. It was Celt, who looked mature and refined, but at this time, his originally straight dress had been broken.
At this time, a ray of dawn appeared in the Cassia Hall that had been smashed, and a majestic and tall figure covered with a layer of golden illusory armor appeared there.
Just looking at the silver-white rapier in his hand gave people a feeling of being stabbed.
After a brief accumulation of power, the warrior holding the "Silver-White Rapier" rushed towards Celt, and behind the warrior, there was also a demigod of the Castiya family wearing a Feynapotter-style costume: "Confinement!"
This "Confinement" was used on Celt. Celt reached out his hand, and the ring on his hand emitted a brilliant light. At that moment, the "Dawn Armor" and "Silver-White Rapier" on the warrior appeared on him.
A high-level sealed artifact of the "Marauder" pathway! Hobert thought in his heart.
He guessed that this sealed artifact might have come from the spoils of the "War of the Four Emperors", because at that time, both the Solomon Empire and the Tudor Empire had great nobles of the "Marauder" pathway.
Hobert did not continue to watch the battle. In case any of these three demigods got anxious and showed the state of a mythical creature, then even if he gouged out his eyeballs, it would be useless.
Finally arriving at the target palace just now, Hobert suddenly thought: Why would a demigod of the "Warrior" pathway participate in the war?
… …
Dlink glanced at William I over there. His eyes narrowed. The situation of William I suppressing Philip I and beating him was completely different from what he had imagined.
A middle-aged man who looked a little thin was using the scarlet sword in his hand to block William I's attack.
"Alexei Einhorn!" Of course, Dlink recognized the middle-aged man in front of him. This was the first emperor of the Feysac Empire, a "Conqueror"!
At the end of the Fourth Epoch, Dlink and the others called him Little Einhorn. With the support of the gods, he became the emperor of the Feysac Empire and gave himself a local-style name. Everyone had forgotten his original name.
Philip I on the edge of the battlefield smiled and said: "William, since I knew you would come, wouldn't I have made some arrangements?
"Wait a little longer, and when I merge with the 'Trunsoest Brass Book', you won't be able to leave today."
William I sneered: "Of course I guessed that you had made some arrangements! Hehe! Little Einhorn, when did you become Philip's lackey?"
Alexei had a crimson fireball in his hand: "William, I still remember that you once showed your love to the Queen!"
William I, who had always been quite majestic, had a calm expression, but at this time, the "Hand of Order" had a distorted expression: "Bullshit!"
In a fit of anger, he crushed the talisman that he had been holding in his hand for a long time. A ball of lightning exploded in William I's hand, and then he shouted at Alexei: "Death!"
The silver light of the "Sword of Order" in his hand became more and more intense, as if it could kill Alexei with one blow.
Even Alexei, who was also Sequence 1, had to deal with it carefully, throwing the fireball in his hand towards William I.
However, the silver light around William I made the fireball slide open.
This small fireball floated all the way to the Saint battlefield before exploding, and the Saints were caught off guard and were blown away one by one.
The seemingly ordinary fireball had the power of a missile!
At this time, the angel from the Feysac Empire, Awatoma Einhorn, also slowly walked out, preparing to besiege Dlink with Chester.
Suddenly, he looked at the sky.
It was still sunny just now, but now it was covered with dark clouds.
Awatoma was a little strange, he had not used his weather-related abilities.
Crack~
A thick lightning bolt fell and landed in the center of the battlefield. The lightning dissipated, and a middle-aged man wearing a Storm Church robe appeared there. This person was Pope Gaard II of the Storm Church!
During that time, William I had quietly changed the rules here. The barrier formed by the Grade 0 sealed artifact had a brief loophole, and the helpers he had invited could directly arrive at the battlefield within the next half minute.
But once half a minute had passed, the power of the Grade 0 sealed artifact would repair the loophole.
After Gaard II arrived at the battlefield, he simply distinguished it and rushed towards Awatoma.
The air around him was stirred, forming a wide range of wind blades. The surrounding trees, walls, and several guards who were running away were all cut down by the wind blades. They were blown into the sky by the strong wind and smashed towards the distance.
The Saints even ran away quickly, looking for a new battlefield that would not be affected by the battle between the angels.
Awatoma stomped his left foot forcefully, and within hundreds of meters, raging flames instantly erupted. The fire grew larger and larger with the wind, forming a solid wall that blocked the wind blades.
Crack~
Thick lightning bolts fell continuously. Clyde Wells, the Dean of the Holy Wind Cathedral, arrived at the battlefield soon after. Behind him, several flashes of lightning indicated the arrival of Saints from the Storm Church to provide support.
In the raging flames, a small tree that had not been ignited suddenly began to grow wildly, transforming into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
Crack~
The tree split open, and Roland, the Pope of the Earth Mother Church, who had planted a seed in this tree long ago, emerged from it. Several Saints followed behind him to provide support.
Once they were all out, the towering tree quickly withered and was immediately engulfed by the raging flames.
Roland's goal was very clear: the Dean of the Holy Wind Cathedral, Clyde Wells.
Whoosh~
A violent roar suddenly appeared in the sky. At some point, a fiery meteorite pierced through the dark clouds and crashed into the Alhambra Palace.
Several coughs echoed from the intense flames of the meteorite's landing. An old man leaning on a cane walked out. He was Demps Solon from Intis.
On the other side, a twilight-like glow covered the fire in the courtyard, and Larrion, the Chief Shepherd of the God Combat Church, joined the battle.
So many Beyonders had suddenly gathered in the Alhambra Palace. The reason why the people in the palace, or in the city of Feynapotter, had not turned into lunatics and monsters was because none of them had manifested the form of a mythical creature.
Most of the Beyonders were only there to help. Whether William I and Dlink could stop Philip I from accommodating the "Trunsoest Brass Book" was the key.
At this moment, Philip I had already accommodated one-third of the Uniqueness. Currently, his condition remained good.
