The sky of the Tower of Noser has not yet dissipated. The thrilling air battle left a deep mark in the collision of blood and frost. On the battlefield at the top of the tower, Esta was seriously injured and was pierced through the shoulder by Su Yue's sword, forcing her to retreat. The remaining frost vines behind her were burning inch by inch, as if her majesty was turned to ashes.
Under the battlefield, the alien army reversed the situation with the resonance of the blood oath seal and successfully repelled the first round of the Night Rest Society's offensive. But no one was too happy too early, because they all knew that it was just a prelude.
Su Yue stood on the edge of the ruins with a sword on her back, the wind blew her black hair, covering half of her pale but firm face.
Ethan walked forward slowly, his clothes stained with the blood of the enemy, his shoulders trembled slightly, but his eyes were clear: "She didn't use all her strength, right?"
"She is a priest." Su Yue did not turn around, just looked at the sky quietly, "That was just a warning."
Ethan was silent. It's not that he didn't understand the meaning of Esta's retreat - that meant that the real hunt of the Night's Rest Society had just begun.
"So what should we do?" he asked in a low voice.
Su Yue slowly turned around, with a determined light in his eyes: "Declare war."
A few days later, in the Red Cliff Mountains in the West.
A natural canyon was temporarily converted into the front-line headquarters of the Blood Oath Alliance. The camp was bustling with people and armor symphony. Foreign warriors, remnants of royal descendants, and rebellious old nobles from all over the world arrived one after another. They heard that Su Yue was confronting the priest head-on in the Tower of Noser, and they ignited long-lost hope.
In the tent, a slightly rough world map covered with runes unfolded.
"We were originally hiding at the border of the east, but now the battle line has advanced to the middle," Kain pointed to the red line in the middle of the map, "but if the Night Breath Society really sends out the fighting power of the priest level, our troops are simply not enough."
"Will the Night Breath Society let you go?" Mia Quinn said coldly. She is a recently joined Royal Ranger, proficient in assassination and infiltration, and has witnessed her family being purged by the Night Breath Society. "They will send three priests to join forces to surround and kill."
"Then we will give them a surprise." Su Yue's eyes were firm, "From now on, we will no longer be on the defensive."
"I want to let the Night Breath Society know that they are not the only ones who can control the blood of the royal lineage."
She stretched out her hand and pressed it in the center of the map, pointing to the "Turmes Sanctuary".
Everyone was shocked.
"That's... the altar area of the Night's Rest Society?" Cain opened his eyes wide, "Are you crazy?"
"Instead of attacking directly now," Su Yue said, "we should push the war to the vicinity of that area, so that their offering routes, blood transportation, and experimental bases are all exposed to the sun."
"I want to make their altar... a scorched earth."
There was silence in the tent.
After a moment, Ethan spoke slowly: "I agree."
Mia followed up: "I support it too. Since the fire has been ignited, it should burn their foundation."
Cain slammed the table heavily: "Then let's fight to our heart's content!"
As night fell, the first counterattack team quietly set off.
Their target was a blood refinery in the northwest corner of the Night's Rest Society. According to intelligence, this was a secret facility newly established in the past three months to refine high-purity "primary blood crystals".
The team was led by Su Yue himself, accompanied by Ethan, Mia, and Cain, and eight alien warriors formed an elite team.
The night was as dark as ink, and there was a slight murmur in the wind.
That was the whisper of the old gods, the resonant phantom sound produced by the excessive concentration of the royal blood.
"Did you hear it?" Ethan asked in a low voice.
"I heard it." Su Yue frowned, "This shows that the blood concentration is extremely high - they are starting some large-scale ceremony."
Mia quietly drew out the short blade: "Then we will destroy it."
There is a barrier outside the refinery, maintained by six warlocks, and once it is touched, it will trigger a flame protection circle.
Kain lay on the ground and observed for a moment, and whispered: "I can create interference, but it can only last for eight seconds at most."
Su Yue nodded: "Enough."
"Act according to the plan."
-Eight seconds.
For a sneak attack, it is like dancing on the tip of a knife.
As Kain activated the interference rune, the light of the barrier blurred instantly, and Ethan rushed in first. His figure flashed behind the two warlocks like a ghost, and the lightning burst, directly knocking out the target.
Mia and two alien warriors followed closely behind, and they dealt with the rune nodes in the back row respectively.
Su Yue went straight to the refining core.
It was a hexagonal black stone pillar, with dozens of blood crystals floating around it, vibrating at an abnormal frequency - the ritual has been activated!
"Not good!" Cain exclaimed, "This is the fire detonation mode! They want to turn the blood crystal into a source of explosion!"
"We can't let them succeed!" Su Yue shouted angrily, swinging her sword at the stone pillar.
Boom!
At the moment the blood crystal exploded, she suppressed the explosive energy with the will of "King Seal·Bloodsworn", but the aftermath still shook half of the foundation. Her figure trembled in the firelight and coughed up blood.
"Let's retreat!" She roared.
The refinery was destroyed, the blood energy around it dissipated, and the Night Breath Society lost a core energy supply facility. Although Su Yue and others were injured, their goal was achieved.
This is the first step of the counterattack.
At the same time, in the Night Rest Society, the Holy Land of Tulmus, the Bone Palace.
In a black palace built of ten thousand year old bones, three figures wearing blood pattern robes stood in front of the circular altar.
"She started."
The one in the middle whispered, a woman with a blurred face and cold breath, who was just injured, Esta.
The figure on the left said: "You have lost control of yourself."
Esta responded coldly: "I just didn't expect that she has mastered the 'Blood Law·Summoning'."
The figure on the right said in a deep voice: "The awakening of the royal bloodline has reached the critical period. If we don't completely wipe her out, our years of planning will be destroyed."
Esta looked at the empty mirror pool in front of him: "Then... the three priests will join forces."
"This time, we want her to - swear blood and die."
