Origin Paradise!

The giant wolf was ten meters tall, with its head being the largest in the middle. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, like flickering will-o'-the-wisps. It was cunning and ferocious. Inside its gaping maw, sharp fangs were like intersecting blades, glistening with saliva that reflected a cold luster.

The heads on both sides are slightly smaller, but equally ferocious. The mane on its neck is unusually thick and stiff, standing upright like steel needles, trembling slightly with its breathing, like a black thicket of thorns.

Its body is strong and powerful, with muscles bulging and undulating under its black fur. Its three thick tails swing powerfully behind it, bringing with them gusts of howling wind. Its four claws are like iron hooks, deeply embedded in the ground, leaving deep marks on the earth.

"To die from this move, you should be proud of yourself!"

William opened his three wolf mouths, and the secret sword seemed to be embedded in the giant wolf's brow. The power of shock and biting condensed wildly, and then burst out violently, like three beams of longswords slashing out.

Demon Wolf Sword Technique - Giant Wolf Slash.

Wherever the beam of light touched, the mud and sand surged up like boiling magma, and the enormous impact force pushed the nearby seawater away in all directions, forming a surging wall of water. The mudflats rapidly cracked under the ravages of the beam of light, and deep ravines snaked and crawled like ferocious giant pythons, constantly spewing out columns of sand and water vapor from the cracks.

sizzle!

Jiang He moved swiftly, fully activating his abilities. His gray horse form continuously released gray mist as he bypassed the pursuing beam swords and leaped up above the giant wolf.

The giant wolf is raising its head.

Grayish-green, blood-red, and pitch-black light flowed like a rainbow, solidifying into the upper body of a skeleton under the guidance of the internal energy. A ten-meter-tall torch-shaped skeleton suddenly plummeted down, striking the waist of the three-headed demon wolf.

The Demon Wolf Sword Technique was forced to stop.

William let out a furious howl.

The next second, the Torch Skull exploded violently.

Rumble!

The giant wolf was pinned to the ground as if in submission.

At the epicenter of the explosion, flames surged like a raging torrent, the light so bright it stung the eyes and nearly blinded them. Thick smoke billowed out like a giant demon's hand, rapidly spreading and turning the sky pitch black.

"The experimental results are good."

Jiang He was propelled into the air by the shockwave from the explosion. The super tricolor fireball he had previously released at the warship was powerful, but it had a significant drawback: a long charging time.

The main reason for this drawback is that during the solidification stage, it is difficult to control the explosive properties produced when different flames converge. However, after creating the torch skeleton, he can simply pour flames into it, and the explosion will occur at the moment when the skeleton can no longer withstand it, similar to the initial use of the item bag to detonate the bomb.

At the same time, this technology has also led to new problems—the explosions are uncontrollable, and even the users are within the attack range.

"Currently, my main damage system has two branches: gun skills and fire. Only by combining the two can I create the strongest attack at this stage."

"The key is the simple domain."

Despite the excruciating pain throughout his body, Jiang He went into full power and raised the silver spear with one hand. This time, the Domain Armor did not cover him, but the Long-Hate Dragon Spear. Four-colored flames poured into the space between the spear and the simplified domain without regard for cost.

At the tip of the spear, the light of the Thirty-Six Wolf Smoke Guns condensed.

The cursed ring on the finger is stained with the blood of its prey.

"Fate bears witness."

"He who throws this spear will be victorious in the oath."

Jiang He whispered, a blessing that was also a curse. He flung his spear, unleashing a storm of energy.

Boom!

It was like thunder exploding high in the sky.

The Spear of Destiny and Excalibur descends from the sky.

William the giant wolf looked up, his eyes filled with terror. An unprecedented sense of impending death arose within him, yet he had no way to escape. He desperately unleashed a second Giant Wolf Slash, even at the cost of shattering the secret treasure sword.

shhhhhh!

A beam of light fell, annihilating the suddenly rising beam sword. The three-headed giant wolf's true form cracked, and fragments of the longsword scattered in mid-air.

Rumble!

A deafening roar echoed, and a blinding light burst forth from the center of the explosion. The light swept wildly outwards like a raging tsunami, shattering the area and causing the four-colored flames to rapidly expand and explode.

Wherever it went, the air was compressed rapidly, forming shock waves visible to the naked eye, which surged outwards with overwhelming force. The ground trembled and cracked violently like fragile paper, and stones and soil were thrown high into the air, flying everywhere like bullets.

Light and heat enveloped the mudflats, which stretched for hundreds of meters.

The Dragon Spear of Everlasting Hatred struck William amidst a flurry of light and shadow, unleashing over a dozen special effects, releasing curses and smoke signals. Flames of three different energy types burned relentlessly, and William's strongest attack at this stage—the Spear of Destiny: Excalibur—completely annihilated the enemy.

The torrent of energy was released for a full ten seconds.

Jiang He landed, picked up the Long-Hate Dragon Spear and put it into his equipment slot. William's body was gone, but his own condition had also plummeted.

"The remaining energy value is around one thousand."

"The bleeding from the chest wound has stopped, but he will need a long period of rest."

"The fractures and shattered internal organs caused by the explosion are minor issues."

Jiang He looked down. The blood hole the size of a human head on his chest had shrunk by half a circle and stopped bleeding. However, the force of the tearing and shock still lingered in his body. He had taken the full force of a peak Grand Knight's sword strike and suffered severe injuries. Fortunately, he was almost used to it. Injuries like broken hands and feet were not worth frowning over.

Chapter 297 After the War

Port of Calib.

The Wyatt family has already evacuated, and the soldiers stationed in various locations are now in chaos because their officers have been hunted down and killed by someone.

On the mudflats, Jiang He activated a simple domain, and nearly five thousand evil soldiers emerged from it. Five silver-level Dao soldiers led the way, while Lao Hei, Wu He, and Zhuang Ya also left their personal sanctuary.

"Assign the task: Dawn Tyrannosaurus and A-Da will lead two thousand men to clear out the port city. Most of the knights have died, and the two Silver Grand Knights have left. The difficulty is not too great. If there is resistance, deal with it on the spot."

"clear."

"Ah Er and Ah San, you two lead men to occupy the coastal fortifications, sink those fourth-level frigates in the near sea, and then capture prisoners on the shore."

"clear."

"Ah Si, you lead a thousand men to plunder gold and silver treasures."

"clear."

"You fool, Wyatt Castle wasn't burned down. You should try to gather intelligence. The Wyatt family should be keeping an eye on the battlefield. Whether you can find their escape route depends on you."

"Okay, boss."

As tasks were issued one by one, the five thousand vicious soldiers split up and went about their tasks. Soon, only Jiang He, Lao Hei, and Zhuang Ya remained on the mudflats.

“We have half a day to scavenge and regroup.” Jiang He looked up at the sky. “It’s evening now, and the noble alliance fleet won’t be back until around midnight. My Proof of the Strong might be a bit difficult.”

Jiang He granted Lao Hei access so that he could see his player panel.

Old Hei pondered for a moment and said, "If we slaughter the royal family, then we'll have to maintain relations with the duchy. As for taking down a Silver Peak cultivator head-on, my suggestion is to pick on the weak. As for the second option, getting involved in the deaths of the Gold Beings, I think taking the poison route is safer. We definitely can't win head-on right now."

Jiang He nodded, and the simple domain dissipated, revealing the enormous dragon remains inside.

Zhuang Ya, who was sitting sideways, was clearly stunned. Her gaze was fixed on the dragon skeleton, and she almost drooled from the corner of her cherry lips.

"The giant snake is hungry."

"It was originally meant for you."

A giant white serpent, hundreds of meters long, appeared on the mudflats, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed the dragon skeleton whole. For a dragon from the Silver Age, this was an unimaginable opportunity.

Jiang He turned his head and said, "The Wyatt family has a large family to support, so they can't run too far. If there is another Silver Peak, they probably won't give up on killing me. Those guys don't know my current state, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to ask for the family's breathing technique. The Demon Wolf is very suitable for you."

Old Black chuckled twice. With Lilith as their supernatural advisor, the team wasn't afraid of the Wyatt family tampering with their breathing techniques.

"Wait a minute, Xiaohe, are you feeling really bad?"

Jiang He nodded, lifting his newly changed shirt. The blood hole on his well-defined chest was still there; the force of the bite was not conducive to recovery.

Old Black grinned and said, "What level is that William roughly?"

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "William in the Silver Age is equivalent to a normal ancient martial arts master in the Bronze Age. At the same level across eras, he is still far from the top ten in the world of ancient martial arts. I think the latter should be called the peak of strength, but it doesn't really matter. We'll only know after we fight to the death."

"By the way, you and Wuhe's Silver Will need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise we won't even know where to start with accumulating resources."

Old Hei scratched his head. "This rabble is already ahead of me. His silver will is survival."

Jiang He was slightly taken aback. He really didn't know when Wu He had awakened his silver will. But given that this guy concentrated most of his resources on running away, his will to survive was indeed strong. Compared to Lao Hei and Zhuang Ya, he and Wu He were more like allies. Even without him, Wu He, who had long since become an authorized intelligence officer, would probably have been able to grow up smoothly.

"It's quite worry-free." Jiang He chuckled. As long as he knows how to find food, he basically won't starve.

Not long after, Ah Si returned with his vicious soldiers for the first time. They ransacked Wyatt Castle but didn't capture a single person. The good news was that the Wyatt family members left without taking anything with them.

Mountains of gold coins, boxes and bundles of antiques and paintings, and countless gold and silver jewels—the wealth of the old aristocracy alone was enough to leave people speechless.

Half an hour later, Ah Si compiled the report.

"Boss, we can't determine the value of the antiques and paintings yet, but the gold, silver and copper coins together are worth about 1.2 million."

"Pack them all up."

Jiang He expanded his simple domain. This number was a bit small. Although both occupied ports and fleets, Duke Dejouk's annual income was two million gold coins. Over the years, even after deducting expenses, his reserves were incalculable. The biggest difference between the two sides was whether or not they had titled knights.

Rumble!

The coastal artillery bombardment had begun, and most of the fourth-class frigates stationed in the near sea sank. A few weighed anchor and escaped, while soldiers jumped off the ship's side and were forced to swim toward the port.

Jiang He turned to look out and saw eight frigate wrecks on the sea, enough for the Saint Lilith to have a good meal, but without the main course—a second-tier cruiser as a template for advancement—the upgrade still seemed a long way off.

"Great serpent, trapped."

Zhuang Ya slowly walked back, her face flushed as if she were drunk. She had devoured the dragon skeleton in her giant snake form and was about to enter a new round of evolution.

"Go to sleep, I'll call you if I need anything."

Jiang He reached out, and a small white snake crawled up her arm and into her collar. According to Lilith, dragons have strong bodies and high innate resistance to elements. Moreover, they do not need willpower to advance. It is precisely because of this unique advantage that they greatly influenced the final fate of the Dragon Stars—the extinction of the Starfall Clan.

It's getting dark.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus and the Demon Soldiers escorted back a vast number of prisoners, along with countless supplies of food, weapons, and other provisions.

Wuhe landed at the private airfield and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss, we captured a Knight Wyatt. His mission is to keep an eye on your battle with William. In addition, we captured 14,000 prisoners, most of whom were reservists gathered by Wyatt after the handover of the Djork colony. They were stationed in the military camp behind the port city before the battle."

Dawn Tyrannosaurus reported, "Boss, the leader of these prisoners wishes to receive you."

“Come here,” Jiang He said indifferently.

A little later, a young nobleman came up. He was wearing white skinny jeans, high-heeled leather boots, thick curly hair hanging down on both sides of his head, and a coat with a large lapel, which was typical of the Bourbon dynasty court aristocratic attire.

“Baron Rhine, I prefer to call you the Broken Sword,” the young nobleman introduced himself with a haughty look in his eyes, “I am Louis Dieudonné Bourbon, Earl of Redwood County, and I expect you to pay a sufficient severance package so that my valiant warriors can return home.”

"Reason?" Jiang He picked up the rum bottle and took a sip.

Louis frowned and judged, "You're a nouveau riche, but I admit you're a powerful warrior. If you're willing to learn more about etiquette, I can accept your knightly allegiance."

Jiang He stroked his chin. He knew that species were diverse, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a creature. It must have a self-consistent logic and had adapted and become tolerant of its environment over a long period of time.

“I plan to take these prisoners into my own ranks,” Jiang He said.

Louis gave a disdainful smile and turned around to shout.

"Fighters, are you willing to surrender to the Northlands?"

"I don't want to!"

"I'd rather die!"

"Those damned northerners killed my brother!"

The crowd was instantly outraged. The 14,000 prisoners looked at their prince with fervent eyes. Royal power was sacred, and as long as they were not knights, members of the royal family had the right to communicate on an equal footing.

Louis spread his hands. “I’m sorry, Lord Broken Sword, I am of noble Golden King blood and have an obligation to respond to the soldiers’ cries.”

If he could bring back the defeated soldiers from the Broken Swordsman, Louis believed that the Wyatt family's fame would spread far and wide, which would help him in his bid for the heirship.

"My plan to recruit them is to give them an opportunity, not to give myself one."

Jiang He stepped forward and tied a hemp rope around Louis's neck; he still had a large stock of this stuff.
