Chapter 620 The Savior of Augusta

"So what?"

The second prince said leisurely, "The balance between monotheism and polytheism is what everyone is looking forward to. Even the emperor is secretly intervening. I have no feelings for him, but I have to admit that he is insightful and capable."

“Arrogance,” Duke Felix said, somewhat annoyed.

The way the commentator adopted such a condescending tone made this traditional, old-fashioned aristocrat feel a little uncomfortable.

The second prince chuckled and said, "Grandpa, you are old now. The strength of the Holy Knights will also weaken as their ambitions decline. After killing Baron Rhine, I am confident that I can become Eleanor's husband. After the crossing battle is over, I will let her die on the Sea Serpent Island. At that time, with the Marquisate and the Sea Serpent Island combined, I will have won more than half of this battle for succession."

“Your Highness!” Duke Felix said in a low voice.

"Perhaps the Duke should address me as Your Majesty; after all, it's only a matter of time."

"For all who exalt themselves will be humbled. The Father says that humility precedes honor, and pride precedes downfall. How long has it been since you prayed earnestly?"

"Only cowards would allow themselves to be believed in others."

The second prince snorted coldly, got up, and walked straight out of the study.

Duke Felix was furious and swept the feather pen holder and books off the desk.

"White Sword!"

A middle-aged man dressed in white hunting attire appeared, with three swords hanging at his waist, all of which were immortal-grade swords crafted by masters of the Alchemy Guild.

The White Sword Grand Knight Commander possesses the strength of a Saint-level Knight and is an elite being of the Heroic Age. The Grand Knights, on the other hand, are supported by the military power of the top authorities. They also have a size of a thousand, but all of them are Grand Knights who can unleash ten Immortal-level spells in an instant, enough to kill a Saint-level Knight.

Duke Felix said sternly, "You must go there yourself immediately. I don't trust His Highness to handle things. If the assassination goes wrong, then find a suitable opportunity to kill Baron Rhein."

"clear."

The White Sword Grand Master disappeared from the spot.

In the dim candlelight, Duke Felix looked weary. He took out a packet of alchemical powder from his sleeve, poured it into a horn cup, and then drank the bright red wine in one gulp. Legend has it that the wine was the blood of the Son of God.

at the same time.

The second prince entered the bedroom with a gloomy expression.

The chief guard brought in several beautiful maids. Given the prince's noble status, unless the slaves were extremely beautiful, they were not qualified to serve him. As for the maids in the duke's castle, they were usually women from minor noble families who learned aristocratic etiquette on a daily basis.

"That wretched old man! If you give me the Marquisate of Felix, I've already won this battle for succession!"

"How dare you disrespect the future emperor!"

Behind the bed curtains, the second prince's expression was ferocious. A long rope covered in barbs had appeared in his hand without his knowledge. Several beautiful maids began to panic. With a whooshing sound, screams of agony rose and fell. Unlike the pleasure they had expected, this was torture.

The two maids, covered in blood, fled in panic.

"Bring him back!" the second prince roared.

The chief guard nodded. He was already used to this. Protecting the prince with the dignity of a holy knight was nothing more than gambling that the prince would become emperor. If his wish were to be fulfilled one day, some of the prince's bad habits might become romantic tales among the nobles.

But just as the chief guard turned around...

The future knight, who had been sitting in the room, stood up.

The mythical charisma, amplified by anger and reversal, gave rise to an extremely faint sense of presence. This disguise, perfectly suited for assassination, undoubtedly far exceeded the sensory limits of a Holy Knight. Without the slightest hesitation.

The future knight made a close-range attack, piercing through the second prince's chest. The life-stealing technique stole the prince's destiny and fate, followed by a burst of immense power.

In an instant, the chief guard turned around, his eyes widening in shock and anger. He could even see the blood gushing from beneath the prince's cracked skin. Due to the immense force, countless swollen tumors appeared on his body, like an overinflated balloon that was about to explode irreversibly.

boom!
Blood and flesh stained the curtain, and the maids looked terrified.

The chief guard strode forward in anger, but the future knight had already vanished, revealing his undisguised powerful spatial abilities.

"The power of space".

"An unprecedented ability to stealth."

"Definitely a Saint-level assassin!"

"Damn it, it's right in front of me!"

A sense of powerlessness rose in the heart of the chief guard, but the most important issue at the moment was how to deal with the death of the second prince. As a guard, he was the one primarily responsible.

……

Fortress city, Augusta Fort.

Several Knights of Great Merit subdued the puppeteer, and because he could not reveal who was behind it, Eleanor, in the name of justice and virtue, ordered his execution.

The puppeteer's head fell to the ground.

Everyone, including the two counts and the knight commander, turned their gaze to Jiang He, whose cloak was stained with blood, and the lower half of Count Glenn's body lay in front of him.

"The Savior of Augusta!"

"Baron Rhine has actually killed the Knight of Great Achievement with ease!"

"No wonder the Marquis chose him."

Earl White Wolf's eyes flashed. When the shadows loomed, the two sides might have only exchanged blows for a moment. Earl Glenn was brutally killed, which means that Baron Rhine most likely possessed the combat power of a Saint-level Knight.

Count Black Serpent looked suspicious, because judging from Eleanor's expression, she clearly didn't know her fiancé's strength.

"The sacred Lion King family of the North, is it?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. The appearance of the Holy Knights was a major event, especially given the death of the old Marquis. With Holy Knights now in Augusta, some of the nobles who had been eager to make a move immediately quieted down.

[Hint: You have obtained the temporary world title "Savior of Augusta" (this temporary title can be crafted at the end of the quest)]
[Hint: Your reputation in the Marquisate of Augusta +1]
[Hint: The Executive's exclusive side quest has been completed. You have obtained 1 Sub-Legendary Item Enhancement Scroll]
Jiang He found a seat and controlled the returning future knight to enter the Gluttony Paradise. He extensively refined Yang Steel and created an epic-level iron spear. Under the dual control of the sin of Gluttony and the quasi-alchemy master, the iron spear became incredibly sturdy. Finally, he used an equipment scroll to upgrade it to the sub-legendary level.

[Name: Wan Gangyang Spear]
[Type: Equipment]
[Quality: Sub-Legendary]
[Effect: Legendary Fortitude/Sub-Legendary Armor Shatter]
[Note: Powerful because of its purity]
Jiang He fed the Wan Gang Spear to the Dragon Spear. He naturally chose the only attribute. The Dragon Spear didn't need fancy skills now. It was enough to focus on sturdiness and sharpness, along with a few auxiliary attack effects.

[Hint: Your signature weapon has received a slight upgrade; it's as heavy as a mountain, yet you wield it with ease (5/7)]
“Your Excellency, I hope to build a Storm Church in the Baron’s Territory. With the church, the Storm Clerics will be obligated to cooperate with the Lord’s military operations.” The young bishop walked over and said casually, “But I hope the population of Rock Territory can be larger.”

Jiang He nodded and said, "I'll have someone talk to you later."

He had other matters to attend to. The Archbishop of the Storm Church had caught up with the Underworld Puppet in the coastal area. If the Underworld Puppet went all out, the pirate leader's "skin" would inevitably be destroyed. Therefore, the Knights had already arrived at the scene. However, considering the Archbishop's position, this was just a holy battle where life and death were not the only consequences.
