Origin Paradise!

"Politics can sometimes make people lose their sense of reason."

Jiang He still had the leisure to focus on the battlefield; his mission was complete. If he was unaware of the threat the Black Marquis posed to the royal power, then the Second Prince's last-minute change of plans would undoubtedly seem incredibly foolish.

Suddenly, Jiang He's eyes narrowed slightly.

Boom!

On the river, a third-class destroyer exploded on the spot, the water waves spread in all directions, flames surged, the violent shock wave stirred the river water, and the wind howled.

In the blinding flames, the Count of Chaos, who had spoken coldly earlier, flung King dejouk II away, where another count caught him. However, he himself lost his chance to retreat as the explosion destroyed his true form and completely engulfed him.

A top-tier knight has fallen.

Count Rock learned from the experience of the super explosion in the capital city and hid white powder barrels on his destroyer. At the cost of self-destructing the warship and sacrificing more than 800 soldiers, he successfully killed a powerful enemy.

The battlefield seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

King de Jokic II, who had miraculously survived, looked completely dazed.

All top-tier combatants silently raised their guard.

But the next moment, the main gun of the Golden Dreadnought roared.

This time, what shot out of the muzzle was not a cannonball, but a terrifying beam of light filled with a sharp aura.

The terrifying power, released in an instant, first destroyed the main cannon, then opened up a straight passage, like a giant white sword spanning the river. This special cannon shot hit the Royal Capital Commander on the bank in the blink of an eye.

A single cannonball from a battleship's main gun is not enough to instantly kill a peak Grand Knight, but this beam of light possesses a terrifying power comparable to a titled Knight personally wielding a sword.

boom!

The commander of the royal capital disappeared halfway through his body, and his true form collapsed.

The count on the opposite side laughed heartily and immediately drew his sword, beheading the dead enemy for the Duke.

The second peak Grand Knight has fallen.

On the Golden Dreadnought.

Red Rose and Storm Captain had cornered Earl Rock, but their expressions were unusually grim. The beam of light they had just witnessed was remarkably similar to Duke Dejouk's aura.

Wizards can unleash even greater power within the Wizard Tower, and can even challenge stronger beings with higher life levels than themselves. One of the keys to this is the [Energy Pool] device.

The energy pool can store the energy that a wizard accumulates over time. Although it is inevitable that energy will dissipate and be lost in the daily routine, it can still accumulate over time.

In the entire Kingdom of Stuart, only two families—the Red Rose Family and the White Rose Family—are qualified and have the resources to build a complete wizard tower, simply because the materials for the energy pool alone are worth more than ten million gold coins.

Clearly, before the chaotic army went to war, Duke Dejouk had already planned to go all in. He personally stored up his energy and created a titled strike. Although it was not worthwhile to use it to kill the Grand Knight, it played a significant role at this moment.

Earl Rock burst into laughter: "Gentlemen, why don't you guess if the Duke has any other plans? For a mere duchy, Young Master Brownie is not a stingy man!"

"Things have changed."

"I already surrendered once, so why don't we just make it quick?"

“If it weren’t for the Second Prince’s reckless command, things wouldn’t be in such trouble today. He doesn’t seem like a monarch at all.”

"Then kill him. Everyone has to win us over anyway."

The two royal elders stopped slaughtering the soldiers on the second-class cruiser. Because they came from the Red Rose family, it didn't matter to them who was the king of the White Rose family. They wavered depending on the situation.

The two quickly reached an agreement, left the cruiser, and headed for Djork II.

"Your Majesty, the situation is as it is."

"We had no choice."

"Disloyal and unjust, you will all die a horrible death!" The Second Prince was furious. The Count of Chaos stood in front of him. These two were clearly afraid of the remaining power of the titled expert, and their talk of the great power was just an excuse.

The situation, which had initially been in a dominant position, quickly reversed.

Red Rose and Storm Captain couldn't defeat Count Rock for a while. The latter's Rock True Form was good at defense, but only the two of them knew exactly how much effort they put in.

Two royal elders defected, putting increasing pressure on the disgruntled Earl and the Second Prince.

With the commander of the royal capital fallen, Earl White Sail, now free from restraint, also turned his attention to the Second Prince, intending to end this skirmish.

The air was filled with the sounds of gunfire and the fighting continued unabated.

On the remains of the white rose, Jiang He discovered that his combat power could completely influence the balance. He didn't care who won or lost; the more of these top combatants died, the more say the remaining strongmen would have.

"Si Ning, change targets."

"Of course."

Before the wreckage, two ordinary high knights from the Northern Fleet rode the waves.

"Count Rhine, do you remember the Battle of Calibheb?"

"Count Rock and we are your comrades!"

"You don't need to make a choice, just wait for the result. Earl Rock said that he will definitely give you the title of Duke after the war, and the actual fief will be delivered to you within ten years."

Jiang He casually caught the two sword strikes, his expression somewhat strange. At this moment, he remembered that he was a comrade-in-arms. He had made the greatest contribution in the naval battle, but the Saint Lilith had become a pirate. He didn't have any good feelings towards Dejouk; it was just a business transaction.

……

On the Golden Dreadnought.

A giant red sword swung out repeatedly, its sharp blade leaving cracks in the sturdy deck, exposing the cabins and leaving the gunners below either dead or wounded.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The ten-meter-tall giant rock blocked all the sword strikes, but the omnipresent wind blades left wounds on his body from time to time. Count Rock was having some difficulty moving. He looked angrily at the Storm Captain, who was sparing no effort to cut him.

"Hey, I'm not a two-faced scoundrel."

The Storm Captain still harbored resentment over the main cannon's bombardment of him, and with one sword strike after another, even though Red Rose had no intention of killing, the two of them combined to gain a huge advantage.

The red greatsword brought the massive rock to a stop, and the howling wind blades found an opening, slicing half of the Rock Count's body, leaving it dripping with blood.

At the critical moment, a fleet admiral blocked the second strike of the red greatsword. At the same time that he was beheaded and fell, Count Rock controlled the true form of the giant rock and crashed into the Storm Captain who was about to pursue.

"You are nothing more than that."

The Storm Leader plunged straight into the river. Seeing this, Red Rose struck again with her sword. For her, even if she didn't intend to kill him, she had to completely suppress him to gain a greater advantage.

"Humph."

Count Rock sneered and dodged. In terms of combat experience, these two guys were no match for him, who came from the Chaotic Lands. Before he was even twenty, he had already led the Duke to conquer the borders of the Empire and returned after capturing several cities.

puff!

A vicious sneak attack from behind interrupted Count Rock's thoughts. A sharp, slender noble rapier pierced the back of his neck, and Supreme-grade Decay Energy was poured in without regard to cost. A chilling sword array erupted within his body, crushing all resistance.

The elite Grand Knight's ferocious power surged, and Si Ning, who had broken free from stealth, severed half of the opponent's neck with a single sword strike. At this moment, the Rock Earl's true form of giant rocks had not yet returned to provide assistance. The supreme sharpness of the noble rapier propelled the sword energy to sweep across, frantically extinguishing the prey's life force.

"Damn it, why did you kill him!"

The giant red sword came hurtling down, and Red Rose was both shocked and furious.

"You two contributed at least 70% of the effort, why blame me?"

Si Ning chuckled, snatched the Rock Earl's sword, and stealthily retreated, leaving only a huge crack in the ground. With the life level of a Silver Elite, she was qualified to fight against most of the peak-level opponents, but she preferred the feeling of sneaky ambushes. Therefore, assassination skills were second only to Flower Sword Eyes in terms of investment.

The Rock Earl suddenly perished, and when his breath dissipated, everyone on the battlefield was shocked.

On the riverbank, the Count of Chaos, who was guarding the second prince, was struggling to hold on, but the situation suddenly took a turn for the better. The Count of Rock was the leader of the young prince's camp. Without his endorsement, the promised benefits and the distribution afterward were all nonsense.

"Good riddance!" The Second King's anger turned to joy, and he wished he could roar to the sky. He had finally ascended the throne and was here to claim a sure-fire victory and prestige. If it weren't for Earl Rock's meddling, his side might have already returned in triumph.

The two royal elders exchanged a glance, their stance clearly wavering once again. However, given the Second King's current capricious nature, he certainly did not seem like a qualified monarch.

"Take this!" Storm Captain shouted.

Chapter 313 Ten Thousand Thunders

The fighting has not stopped, but the intensity has clearly decreased.

The bombardment firepower of the Northern Fleet has been reduced by several levels. The construct knights and silver wizards at the city gate have retreated. The faction leader who promised benefits has fallen. They no longer have a reason to fight against King de York II. Wizards are scarce in the capital, and the reconstruction of the inner walls still requires the power of wizards.

On the banks of the Blue Thames.

The Storm Captain, whose flagship had been knocked off by the giant rock, joined the battle, with Red Rose following closely behind.

The two, working together with the Count of Chaos, fought against two royal elders and White Sail, while six top-tier knights turned the riverbank into scorched earth.

In the instant Count Rock died, on the remains of White Rose, Jiang He delivered a straight kick that turned the lower half of the Great Knight in front of her into a bloody mist. After tearing out his heart, she quickly moved behind another person, reached out and pierced through his heart, and wantonly sucked his heart blood.

Two great knights lay dead on the ground.

The Supreme-grade Blood Poison has been upgraded to LV20.

The center of the battle.

Si Ning lurked nearby, intending to assassinate the Second Prince, but after the previous sneak attack, Red Rose and Storm Leader were on guard, constantly watching out for attacks from the corner.

At one point, Red Rose single-handedly took on the attack of two royal elders. Taking advantage of the rising dust, she quickly exchanged a few words, and both men's expressions changed.

The smoke dissipates.

Earl White Sail used his true form, White Sail, to shield himself, his eyes bloodshot as he charged forward. He was determined to kill the Second Prince, driven not only by the Duke's dying wish but also by the hatred of killing his friend. In the ensuing chaos, the Earl retreated step by step.

"Do it!"

Red Rose suddenly shouted loudly.

The royal elders turned their two greatswords around and slashed down towards Earl White Sail's back.

Red Rose, Storm Leader, and Count Chaos attacked simultaneously, unleashing their true forms to bombard their prey from the front.

The five men all turned their spears toward Earl White Sail.

"Go to hell!"

The Second Prince, who had been under protection, suddenly roared. His left eye turned a deep, dark blue, and the half-damaged S-rank treasure, Ten Thousand Thunder, was activated. A beam of lightning shot out, carrying paralyzing lightning of the highest rank.

The true form of the white sail was torn apart.

Earl White Sail knelt on one knee as two greatswords pierced his back, blood gushing from the several-foot-long wound. His front was covered in lacerations caused by the storm. Red Rose cut him in half at the waist, and the true form of Earl Chaos's ice staff froze all life.

"I will not fail the Duke!" Earl White Sail roared to the sky.

The lightning bolt shattered his skull.

The last die-hard has died; this is the fourth Grand Knight to fall today.

On the Blue River, the Northern Fleet's shelling ceased.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, the five peak-level Grand Knights all changed color.

A thick fog rolled out from the remains of the white rose, instantly enveloping the water and riverbank.

Jiang He raised the Long-Hate Dragon Spear.

The spear was covered by a domain armor, and four-colored flames were poured into it. The dark red light of the Forty-Eight Wolf Smoke Spears condensed at the spearhead, and the transforming energy swirled around like a storm.

The perfect combination of gun skills and fire.

"Fate bears witness."

"This gun will be a vow of victory."

Jiang He threw the spear with all his might, and the terrifying booming sound of thunder echoed outside the capital.

The moment the spear was thrown, Jiang He activated the perfect-level skill Fatal Strike, further amplifying his abilities.

The unparalleled mass was converted into kinetic energy, causing the River Lamps to stop flowing. A straight, deep crack appeared in the riverbed, and the brilliant gunshot almost pierced through the layers of mist.

"Run!" Storm Leader shouted in alarm, and hurriedly retreated from his spot. He felt a chilling sense of impending death, and he knew that this unknown attack was something he could not withstand.

Red Rose had already left, her face still showing shock and confusion. Moderes shouldn't allow a titled expert to interfere in royal power struggles; this sudden attack was utterly inexplicable.

The two royal elders left in fear, and King dejouk II knelt on the ground in despair. He instinctively knew that this was his trial, and fate seemed to have sentenced him to death.

At the last moment, the Count of Chaos stood still, turned back and said with pity, "Remember, I did not choose to die here for you. The Duke has been incredibly kind to me."

King de York II was bewildered, yet a burning desire rose within him. If he could survive, he might try to become a wise monarch, which must have been his father's long-cherished wish.

Rumble!

An irreversible death is approaching.

The Count of Chaos delivered the most satisfying sword strike of his life.
