Chapter 545 The Fall of a Sub-Hero

Inside the vehicle.

Wuhe carried the old photos that the birds had found to someone.

"Boss, the photo is from the deepest part of the base, it should be the deputy corps commander's room."

Jiang He's gaze swept over the group photo, her eyes narrowing slightly. It was a group photo of roughly thirty people, most of whom were children under ten years old. Only one middle-aged man, with an imposing presence, sat in the very center, and next to him, a silver-haired boy looked somewhat timid.

"Silver Blade," Jiang He murmured.

Wuhe deduced, "Boss, half of the tactical-level mages who died below the base were children like the ones in the photos when they were young. They were probably both talented and carefully trained. The fact that Silver Blade appeared here indicates a huge problem."

In his view, human beings look pretty much the same, and the difference between them is not based on mere appearance, but on certain fundamental characteristics.

Jiang He lowered her eyelids and fell into deep thought.

"Principal Tachibana, Secret Army Commander, Taiko-Chancellor."

These are the three people listed in the report, who hold the highest authority over intelligence about the fortress.

"Principal Tachibana, Silver Blade."

"Secret Legion Commander, Silverblade."

"Principal Tachibana, the First True Ancestor."

When Principal Ju Jian fell, the First True Ancestor remotely sent out nine Immortal-level Life and Death Swords, intending to force Jiang He to retreat, but the result was that he withstood the damage and forcibly killed Ju Jian, seizing the spatial power.

"That's interesting." Jiang He asked, "How many times has the First True Ancestor appeared in the history of Tokyo Fortress?"

After a moment of recollection, Wuhe retrieved the intelligence gathered since the arrival of the Lord of the Sea and replied, "Three times. The first time was during the apocalyptic cataclysm, which directly led to the birth of vampires and werewolves. The second time was after humans mastered magic, when the Grand Chancellor led magicians to fight against them, and the survivors built Tokyo Fortress. The third time was not long ago, when the Blue Lord fell, and the Grand Chancellor and a member of the Judgment Team survived."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He couldn't help but scoff.

"It's so fake."

As someone who had survived the Death Sword, he was acutely aware of its power. Even a fully-fledged sub-hero would be killed in three to five strikes. Ten days had passed, and the death intent within him had been completely dissipated, taking only one-third of the expected time. But this did not mean it was easy.

The fact that Taiko-Chō survived twice only proves one thing.

"The First True Ancestor did not want to kill the Grand Secretary."

"The First True Ancestor wanted the Seven Swords to merge, but the actual fusion would cause a huge change. He hoped to possess the remains of the Ancient Serpent God when the fusion had begun but not yet ended."

"Principal Tachibana also wanted to merge the seven swords. He guided me to master the Sword of Destiny, which had never given birth to a monarch, thus truly beginning this process."

"But once the integration begins, there will inevitably be battles between the monarchs, and the temptation of angry candidates will determine that only one person can survive in the end."

"Jujian is the troublemaker, and the troublemaker is the Blood River Sect Master. The fundamental goal in the mission description is to return home. He does not intend to die here, but he took the initiative to start the battle royale. Such a proactive person has not hunted down any other monarchs."

Jiang He's mind raced with a thousand thoughts. The connections between Ju Jian, Taige Chang, and the First True Ancestor were intricate and complex. Ju Jian's goals, actions, and results didn't match up, unless this guy was a useless person with lofty ambitions but little talent.

Wuhe became extremely alert. He sensed a conspiracy, and his side had already grasped many important clues, only lacking the crucial link to connect them all.

“Boss,” Wuhe quickly reminded him, “we might be able to find that surviving member of the Inquisition, codenamed Cowboy. He’s seen the First Ancestor up close at least once.”

"The First True Ancestor has been hiding in the Tokyo Fortress for a long time, yet the Taiko failed to locate him. It's very likely that the secret legion in charge of intelligence is the problem, and the identity of the secret legion commander may be related to the First True Ancestor..."

"But none of these things really matter."

Jiang He pondered for a long time and made a rough guess, but came to a completely opposite conclusion.

Wuhe: "Huh?"

“We’re not here to investigate a case,” Jiang He said calmly. “My goal is to become a candidate for Wrath and complete the main quest. The most effective way to do that is to kill. Kill the other monarchs, kill those who want to fight for the ancient serpent god’s remains, and kill anyone who gets in my way.”

"Since the apocalyptic world targets heroes, then the Golden Overlord has the right to act with impunity."

"These shady things are ultimately just petty tricks."

"People need to know what they really want."

Wuhe was speechless. It was clear that his boss had no intention of getting involved in the conspiracy vortex under the veil of Tokyo Fortress. He suspected that the other party had come specifically to kill the commander of the secret legion. After all, being ranked alongside Tachibana and Taiko-cho meant that he was likely also a monarch-level figure.

"Then who should we kill?"

"A sub-hero," Jiang He said coldly, "kill every single one of them who can be killed."

……

Boom boom boom!

Under the cover of night, Chiyoda Ward is engulfed in flames of war.

Hundreds of thousands of werewolves and vampires launched an attack from all directions. Humanity's four legions and nine clans of mages were all committed to the battle, and the firelight almost illuminated the night.

The top of the Taiko Building.

The Gray Lord looked at the city that had been turned into a battlefield, his face more weary than ever before.

Due to the death of the Blood Ancestor, the Blood Kingdom currently only has the Thorn Ancestor as its top combat force in charge of the overall situation.

The situation has now become completely unbalanced.

The werewolf faction remained intact, while the Thorn Ancestor was unable to hold out alone. He ultimately abandoned the alliance with humans in exchange for a promise not to become cannon fodder.

In the distance, to the east, crimson thorns swept in like a tsunami, spreading among the skyscrapers. The nobles of the Blood Kingdom's True Ancestors were all gathered under the command of the Thorn True Ancestor, and countless blood shadows launched an attack.

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of extremely fast streaks of light struck the sea of ​​thorns, and a significant portion of the thorns, some as large as tall buildings, snapped in the middle.

"Stop Thorn Ancestor!"

The Sanya family of the Nine Clans, led by their surviving patriarch, mobilized all their forces. More than 500 mages lined up and cast precise acceleration spells together, effectively halting the spread of the thorns.

But the next moment, a red figure appeared.

The Red Wolf King stood prominently in the formation, its extremely sharp tailbone sword beheading the widow. At this distance, the melee wolf king was undoubtedly about to engage in a one-sided slaughter.

Whoosh whoosh!

Countless red sword slashes shot out, and blood rained down in an instant.

Meanwhile, in western Chiyoda.

The gray wolf king, whose body was as large as a mountain, swept forward, and tall buildings collapsed with the impact. In a short while, hundreds of small giants, whose height reached his ankles, appeared in front of him. All the mages of the Taiko Gozan family who had mastered the giantification magic were mobilized, but they all became mincemeat under his trampling.

A billowing poisonous fog swept in from the south, and the Black Wolf King led his tribe to break through the Hachimiya family's defenses. Meanwhile, in the north, the two families, skilled in sword magic, were utterly powerless against the White Wolf King's steel powers.

"My lord! My lord, please act quickly!"

The head of the Wushan family roared in anger, and was immediately killed by the Gray Wolf King with a single punch, causing the earth to shake violently.

But the next moment, as the Grey Wolf King charged into the core area of ​​Chiyoda, the super magic buried deep underground, Wrath of the Masses, was activated, and the surrounding area suddenly turned into a huge swamp from which there was no way to escape.

The Grey Wolf King was startled, but his movements were incredibly slow. Thousands upon thousands of skeletons, like demons, dragged the enemy down and quickly engulfed his chest. This was originally a spell intended for the Golden Monarch.

"it's time."

At the top of the Taiko, an old man dressed entirely in gold stepped forward. He glanced back at the Gray Lord, but did not receive the answer he sought.

"I will guard the Taiko Building," the Gray Lord said, forcing himself to speak, an indescribable sense of shame rising within him.

“Being afraid of death is not shameful; the key is how you choose to die.” The Golden Monarch said solemnly, “I don’t have the strength to kill you now, but I hope that from now on you won’t regret it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Golden Monarch vanished from the spot.

The Guardian's power surged wildly, and the warriors of the Arctic Legion responded in droves, granting him the strength of ten thousand men. His physique, speed, and power were enhanced in every way—pure and straightforward violence.

A golden light descended from the sky, striking the gray wolf king's head and slamming him deep into the mud. The mud then hardened rapidly, successfully sealing the wolf king underground.

Without stopping, the golden light charged straight at the Red Wolf King, who was almost upon the building. The Golden Monarch shattered the tailbone sword with a single punch, and the extreme power and impact sent the Red Wolf King flying out of Chiyoda Ward, splitting the ground for miles.

Golden light swept across the battlefield, repeatedly pushing back and attacking the Wolf King and the True Ancestor. If it weren't for his old age and frailty, and if the nature of his power weren't so unsuitable for combat, the Golden Monarch, as a complete sub-hero, would undoubtedly have the potential to annihilate all powerful enemies.

boom!

The thorny sea split in two before the golden light.

With several thorny swords piercing his chest, the Golden Lord forcibly tore the Thorn Ancestor apart with brute force. The reinforcements he had been waiting for for half a day had not arrived, and the multiple super spells prepared by the Grand Chancellor showed no sign of being activated.

"It's not what we agreed on."

The defenses across Chiyoda were barely held up thanks to the intervention of the Golden Lord.

……

Top of the Taika.

The Gray Lord bowed his head in silence.

He had thought he could stand up like the Golden Monarch, but only recently, with the continuous fall of his kind, did he realize that even those who wield power and are noble monarchs can still die, no different from ordinary people.

"Wu, what do you think I should do?"

After hesitating for a long time, Liang Siwu said sincerely, "The Grand Secretary is still alive and the Colorless Monarch is still alive. As long as Lord Golden kills two Wolf Kings or True Ancestors before he dies, the situation will definitely return to balance. At that time, the Nine Clans and the Grand Secretary will still need your leadership."

The Golden Monarch's power is protection. He is the same age as the Grand Chancellor and has been wounded while guarding the far north. He has left the Great Wall of extreme cold, which is both a product of his power and his reliance. This monarch is only one step away from death. Otherwise, given his pragmatic nature over the decades, he would not have hesitated to venture deep into the extreme cold and assassinate the Wolf King when he was alone.

“Yes.” The Gray Lord rallied. “The future of the fortress still needs me. The sacrifice of the Gold King was not in vain…”

The words stopped abruptly.

A strange force suddenly imprisoned the Gray Lord.

A figure appeared at the top of the building at some unknown time, and the two Wu turned around as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The other person had an extremely handsome face, long platinum hair that was crystal clear, and a deep red trench coat that looked like it was dripping blood. His eyes were indifferent and showed no emotion whatsoever.

"How many people have those eyes killed..." The Gray Monarch instinctively thought, and he began to feel uncontrollably afraid, because the Prince was the culprit behind the recent series of monarch deaths.

"Halt!" Two Satoru stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Tokyo Fortress cannot be without Lord Gray, he is the future of the Nine Clans' revival!"

Whoosh!

A spatial slash burst forth.

Two Wu suddenly felt excruciating pain and the chill of life rapidly disappearing. A sharp gash appeared on his waist, and his upper body slid to the ground. The evil poison spread rapidly, annihilating his soul in the blink of an eye.

The Gray Lord stared blankly at the two Satoru, never expecting that the other party would have the courage to stand up for him.

The dignity afforded to the monarch made it difficult for him to speak.

"I am willing to fight the wolf king."

boom!

The silver spear light shattered the body of the Gray Lord, and the faint dragon roar echoed, annihilating his soul.

Jiang He glanced at Sui Mo; her last words were quite unique.

Whoosh!

He disappeared.

……

On the battlefield.

The White Wolf King raised his arms to withstand the Golden Monarch's heavy punch, the ferocious force causing his steel body to tremble violently.

Just as the Golden Monarch had gone far away and repelled the Gray Wolf King who had broken free from the seal, the White Wolf King stopped his retreating figure, a chilling sensation rushing straight to his mind.

"who!"

puff!

The silver spear pierced through the White Wolf King's heart from behind.

The Eternal Dragon Spear perfectly combines sub-legendary sharpness with several immortal destructive effects, resulting in unimaginable destructive power that easily shattered the defenses of the Steel Power.

Swish!

The White Wolf King endured the excruciating pain and suddenly swung his fist backward.

But it fell through.

puff!

Another shot pierced the wolf king's nape.

Before the White Wolf King could even struggle to cope, the spear struck again, twelve times in succession, shattering his vital points.

Even as death loomed, the bayonet thrusts continued.

Jiang He searched for the source of the power of steel until he encountered significant resistance when he struck the Dazhui bone. He then stopped in time to avoid damaging the power of the ancient serpent god.
