Chapter 640 Ten Calamities
At dawn, the Restoration Army set off from Broken Reef City, looting several large manors and farms owned by the Queen along the way, collecting provisions to support 14,000 people.

However, as they approached Green Forest City, the Restoration Army became somewhat out of control. The Second Prince of Shattered Reef was not the original heir; the more capable second son of the Marquis had already died in battle on Serpent Island. This caused the planned half-day journey to take a full day.

Night fell again.

Thick smoke, like a dying serpent, twisted and rose into the sky. Hay and wooden beams exploded in the flames, sparks igniting the last few stalks of wheat that had not been trampled. The cold wind carried ashes, like a black snowstorm, covering the haphazardly laid corpses.

The farmhands huddled on the ground, some still clutching pitchforks and sickles, their throats slit and black blood flowing. The farm owner's castle was burning, the stone walls blackened, and the sculpture of the crucified Father collapsed.

The granaries and wine cellars were looted. By the well, the bodies of several young women lay supine, their blonde hair disheveled and soaking in the overflowing well water. Their cloth skirts were tattered. Crows gathered and circled, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and decay.

The knights sat in small groups around the campfire. Shattered Reef II had no prestige whatsoever; everyone knew that he was nothing more than a figurehead. The true ruler of the Restoration Army was actually the Archbishop of the Church of Athena.

"Why don't we just kill the Second Prince? The Holy War Army is definitely interested in the Marquisate of Broken Reef."

“My elder brother and younger brother both died on Sea Serpent Island. I don’t care who’s in charge, but I absolutely have to bring them back this time, otherwise how will my whole family be fed?”

"The empire probably won't interfere with the Green Forest family's war with the eldest princess, but the other princes and princesses will definitely lend a hand in secret."

The knights were grumbling. The heavy snow had hindered the supply convoy arranged by King Broken Reef II, and now even the knights had to eat dry rations. The food for the auxiliary troops was naturally even worse.

In front of a pile of hay, the Shadow Saints ate cabbage soup and white bread, their faces not looking too good.

Across from him, Jiang He simply drank a glass of wine.

The Shadow Saint said, "The other rebel groups have all set up blocking missions, and Green Forest City will be isolated and helpless for a short time. The Green Forest Shield, representing the Grand Knights, has indicated that it will stay out of the matter. The Grand Princess's forces are theoretically limited to the newly formed Green Forest Knights and some militia auxiliary troops."

The Shadow Saint glanced at the middle-aged man in the distance. The Bishop of the Goddess of Beauty had left the tavern, still talking incessantly.

"With three against one, we have a 100% chance of winning."

Jiang He raised an eyebrow. If someone could say something like that, then something unexpected was about to happen.

Suddenly, a knight jumped up, his water pouch fell to the ground, and putrid blood gushed out. He then fell backward, his face rotting and peeling off. The deadly poison hidden in the blood killed him completely.

"Quickly! The Grand Knight Commander has been poisoned!"

"Blood! The water has turned into blood!"

"Look at the stream ahead."

A riot broke out at the farm camp, resulting in the immediate loss of hundreds of knights and vassal soldiers. The stream in the farm turned blood red without anyone noticing, and a blood mist quietly emerged, causing many soldiers to faint.

"A 100% chance of winning?" Jiang He asked, tilting her head.

The Shadow Saint could only manage an awkward smile.

Under the blood mist of the night, a large number of robed figures rushed out from all directions of the farm. These hundreds of elite members of the Inquisition were originally responsible for investigating the Dragonborn Church. While staying in the North, they heard about the rebellion and came over without stopping, ready to redeem themselves.

Beside the extinguished campfire, the old knight suddenly rose and slashed his sword behind him. The life force accumulated over decades by the Golden Heart allowed him to temporarily suppress the corrosive poison, and his sword skills were fierce and unstoppable.

Wow!
The knight's sword slashed down the cloaked man who attacked, but behind the cloaked man, another elite member of the Inquisition bypassed his colleague and precisely plunged his dagger into the gap between the helmet and breastplate, piercing the throat in one blow.

Hundreds of dark figures, like a pack of wolves, ruthlessly tore at the Restoration Army. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred knights fell. These elites were very familiar with the Knights' fighting style, choosing to kill the clergy first, denying them any chance to unleash immortal-level magic. Chaos reigned everywhere. Belladonna fled in terror, her strength even inferior to that of an ordinary knight. Even with a full set of high-level equipment, she would suffer damage reduction against the Inquisition's elite forces. Moreover, in her current state, she was unable to unleash the full power of the Black Scythe.

thump!
Belladonna tripped by the campfire, with the corpses of the Grand Knight and the Inquisition's elite lying on either side. She quickly pushed herself up, but grabbed a broken sword instead.

The shattered hero weapon from the Dragon Bishop, one of the clues recovered by the Inquisition, harbors the power of blood authority. Once fused with it and becoming the weapon itself, it can be repaired by absorbing the essence of blood, thus rapidly becoming stronger.

"Neither human nor ghost."

"Forget it, I don't care!"

Belladonna ran wildly, and the two judges who were chasing her ran into trouble and had no choice but to give up.

Before the hay, the Shadow Saint stepped into the shadows, clearly troubled, and said, "I'll go clean up. We can't afford to be wiped out here."

As he disappeared, a long spear that seemed to be made of wings suddenly shot towards Jiang He. The spear was bright red and flowed with holy energy.

call!
Jiang He raised his left hand, and white light covered his palm. A powerful repulsive force surged forth, preventing the feather spear from advancing an inch.

A figure emerged from the billowing blood mist ahead. This Saint-level expert possessed an elegant demeanor and had three pairs of wings on his back.

“I am Job, the angel of the plague of the Lord.” The plague of the Lord laughed and said, “I punish sinners in accordance with the prayers of the saints.”

The first prince is the second saint of the Father's Church, and the eldest princess, being a twin, is naturally also a twin. Twins share a great similarity in the mystical realm.

Jiang He hooked his hand, and his right hand was completely plunged into darkness.

The unparalleled devouring power forcibly pulled the blood calamity. The sudden attack caused his expression to change slightly, but as long as the master did not perish, then even if death came, it would only be a return to the sky.

"Sevenfold Heavenly Punishment".

Like a recitation, the bloodshed pronounced punishment.

Seven rings rose into the sky, gathering blood-red lightning before crashing down like meteors.

Jiang He raised his hand, and white light burst forth, causing the blood thunder to dissipate.

A spatial vortex materialized, and a silver spear pierced through Blood Calamity's heart, blasting his chest apart.

The silver dragon spear flashed and disappeared.

Against ordinary Saints, a legendary-level Dragon Lance would basically only graz them and cause serious injury, while a piercing attack would result in death. Storm Bishops and similar classes could withstand a couple of hits, but only because death takes time.

Only the Pirate King or the Old Swordsman who has activated the power of faith are qualified to survive the hardship. After the upgrade, the Long-Hate Dragon Spear has a terrifying base damage. With just four legendary attack effects, it stands out from the crowd.

As the Blood Angel was about to die, Jiang He quickly activated the Time Ring to pull it back. The legendary Blade of Termination pierced through its brow, and the sinful poison traveled along the blade to annihilate its soul, making its return to the sky a pipe dream.

"I almost didn't make it in time," Jiang He muttered to himself.
