#373 - Section 373
Even dispatching some fierce beasts couldn't contend with the weapons in Allen's hands.
“Next, we'll see what that one in the Radiant Empire does.”
“By the way, Shadow, are there any legendary mages in the Radiant Empire?”
Allen knew that the Shadow Knight commander should know many secrets of the Radiant Empire, and it would be interesting if there were legendary mages.
“Your Majesty, the Radiant Empire does indeed possess a legendary mage, and their level has already reached three stars.”
“Moreover, this mage controls the power of the Law of Time, though they don't seem very proficient.”
The Shadow Knight commander wouldn't hide anything and directly revealed everything he knew.
Allen wasn't surprised to learn that the Radiant Empire had a three-star legendary mage, but it seemed strange that they controlled the Law of Time.
Other spells would be normal, but mastering the Law of Time with so little experience seemed impossible.
At the same time, he had a bold idea: whether that person possessed some kind of godhood, otherwise the Law of Time couldn't be used by mages.
In the Radiant Empire's council hall, the Emperor had been waiting for three full hours, having received news of the defeat in the border battle.
Most importantly, there was no news of the Shadow Knight Legion at all. It was as if they had completely disappeared after entering Allen's kingdom. “Even if Allen's kingdom has some tricks, the Shadow Legion should be able to return completely.”
“But let's wait for the second day. Even if something happens, someone from the Shadow Legion will return.”
He felt a little worried in his heart. At this time, sending out the Dragon Knight Legion was meaningless.
Even if the Shadow Knights didn't return the next day, he still had other means. That legendary mage's strength was not to be underestimated.
When the war reached dawn, the Allen Kingdom's army began to rush out towards the Misty Forest Mountains again.
The army stationed by the opposing Duke couldn't react at all and almost all died under the artillery fire.
The Bilu Kingdom has ten cities, and the Rock City in front is not very far from the Misty Forest Mountains. The army can arrive in just half a day.
At the same time, when the army took action, the Shadow Legion had already joined the Undead Legion and was directly dispatched by Allen to Rock City.
Now, the retreat route of those Dukes happens to be in Rock City, so they must not be allowed to enter the city.
Allen must speed up the kingdom's army's advance and occupy the surrounding cities as quickly as possible.
There were no Saints in Rock City, but there were still plenty of Gold Knights. They already knew that the border war had collapsed.
The Radiant Empire could be evenly matched in the war with the Nock Empire, but it had collapsed in the battle with Allen's Kingdom.
Outside Rock City, ten thousand members of the Undead Legion had already appeared outside the city. The Undead Trio led the army to charge and attack the city gate.
A hundred Shadow Knights attacked the central city gate. Just as the guards on the city realized something was wrong, the city gates on all sides had been shattered.
Moreover, some of the city walls had collapsed. Even a Saint could break the city wall, let alone a hundred Saints.
The Gold Knight guards of Rock City had no chance to react and were directly controlled by the Undead Legion.
When they stormed into the City Lord's Mansion, they didn't encounter any resistance.
Rock City was almost completely occupied by the Undead Legion within an hour.
After the occupation, the subsequent hundred thousand troops also closely followed and garrisoned in Rock City.
As for those Dukes, they didn't know what had happened in Rock City behind them, and they were still rushing towards Rock City according to the previous plan.
In the capital of the Radiant Empire, the Emperor had already realized that something was wrong.
“…〃 Now that a night has passed, the Shadow Knight Legion should have returned at least.”
The Radiant Empire was also a little worried at this time. The situation was completely different from what he had imagined, and it seemed that something had really happened.
At the same time, he also received news from the Dukes in front that Allen's Kingdom's army had completely occupied the Misty Forest Mountains.
It seemed that they wanted to occupy the cities in the Bilu Kingdom, and he would definitely not allow the Bilu Kingdom to be occupied by Allen's Kingdom.
Once occupied, how would other empires view the Radiant Empire? They couldn't even deal with a mere Duke in their own country.
After this kind of thing happened, the things affected behind it were really too many, and at least a major turmoil would occur in the Radiant Empire.
Thinking of this, he walked directly to the room on the top floor. Along the way, he didn't look at the special patterns on both sides, but came to the door of that room. “Raymond, things have changed after all. Help me see if the Shadow Knight Legion has really been annihilated by Allen.”
“Originally, I couldn't take action, but since you have come in person.”
“After this time, I definitely can't help you for half a year, because you understand the power of time.”
Raymond sighed in the room. If he were allowed to take action, it would be fine, but using time magic to trace back would have some side effects.
The Radiant Emperor also knew the stakes in the middle and didn't speak, but defaulted to what Raymond said.
Raymond directly picked up the scepter, and a drop of blood dripped down along the sapphire on the scepter.
The entire scepter also burst out with a bright luster, and a trace of the power of time was added to it.
He had seen the Shadow Knight commander directly and directly placed the power of time on him.
At the same time, a picture appeared in his eyes. In the picture, only a scene flashed: the Shadow Knight commander was actually standing next to Allen Duke.
The picture stopped here. Continuing to deduce with time magic would probably be the same situation. “The Shadow Knight has defected to Allen Duke. As for what to do, you can decide for yourself.”
After Raymond's voice fell, the room door was completely closed, and a layer of special array patterns outside the door was automatically activated.
The Radiant Emperor didn't expect this situation. What kind of special means does Allen Duke have in his hands?
Even he himself couldn't control a Saint, and even with the price behind it, it would probably be terrifying. "Duke Allen, I truly underestimated you. But do you really think the Empire only has these means?" The Radiant Empire was determined to destroy the Allen Kingdom no matter what.
In the Allen Kingdom, Allen looked at the sky ahead, feeling a strange sensation, as if the divine power within his body was operating on its own.
Almost instantly, the divine power stopped operating on its own. Suddenly, he thought of the legendary mage in the Empire.
They must have used some kind of time magic power, probably wanting to know the current situation of the Shadow Knights.
"To be able to use such remote tracing methods, I'm really looking forward to what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Allen wasn't worried about the legendary mage in the Empire. He hoped that mage controlled as much power as possible.
From the side, it also shows that the divinity he controls is not weak.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? We have already occupied Rock City. Should we get rid of those Dukes?" Cruise clearly knew the situation of the border war. Their army had completely entered the Bilu Kingdom.
They only suffered slight interference from the Bilu Duke's army. The Golden Knights couldn't get close at all under the dense artillery fire.
It can be said that the Bilu Duke's army suffered heavy losses, with many elites joining the battle.
"We don't need to attack the other Dukes. What we want is the Bilu Duke. You go directly to Rock City with the dragons."
"Also, I will send you fifty Golden Behemoths. We must occupy the Bilu Kingdom as quickly as possible."
Allen had already made some plans in his mind. Even if he lost some Golden Behemoths in the process, it didn't matter. He didn't have much time left.
Cruise naturally knew what the King meant. Only capturing the Bilu Duke wouldn't have a big impact. If other Dukes were involved,
they would probably face tens of millions of troops and a counterattack from all the forces of the Radiant Empire. These were not the results the King wanted.
Then, in the following time, Allen also quietly entered the Bilu Kingdom alone, and he would take action with thunderous means when necessary.
Perhaps a city would have to be sacrificed as a deterrent. After careful study, Maple City, not far from Rock City, was the best choice.
However, it still depends on the attitude of the Radiant Empire. That person should still have other means that haven't been used yet.
According to the King's order, the Undead Legion had already ambushed on the road to Rock City, and ten dragons were hidden around.
Those Dukes also have dragons in their hands. If they are not careful, they will escape. Cruise has also made full preparations, and the King's order must be completed.
All the members of the Undead Legion who took action this time were Saints, as well as a hundred Saints from the Shadow Legion. They must end the battle with thunderous means.
The Bilu Duke and the other Dukes didn't notice the danger ahead at all, because the Allen Kingdom's army was still behind them.
"Duke Harry, I have already sent out most of my elites. The Allen Kingdom's army is stronger than I thought."
The Bilu Duke still had many dragons in his hands, but he was reluctant to use them. It would be better to let the Emperor take action.
Just as they were talking, the Undead Legion and others secretly surrounded the carriage.
"Who are you? Don't you know that the Dukes of the Radiant Empire are in the carriage?"
The Golden Knights around the carriage glared at the suddenly appearing Undead Legion and others.
"Duke Bilu, please come out yourself. Our King Allen wants to entertain you properly."
"As for the other Dukes, we can let you leave. Those who don't leave will die. You should be clear about your choices."
The Undead Legion released their respective strengths, and a chilling aura instantly permeated the Dukes.
Duke Harry could tell at a glance that these people were all Saints. How could there be so many Saints in the Allen Kingdom?
When he looked to the rear, he seemed to see a familiar figure, vaguely like the Shadow Knight.
However, the surrounding Saints were already pressing over, and some Dukes directly ordered their carriages to drive forward.
Anyway, Duke Allen's meaning was very clear, just to keep Duke Bilu, and it wouldn't threaten them anyway.
Duke Bilu watched as carriages continued to leave, and finally even Duke Harry began to leave. Bilu didn't know what awaited him next.
"Damn it, how have the Dukes of the Radiant Empire become cowards?"
Duke Bilu had forgotten in his anger that the surrounding were all Saint Knights, which he couldn't resist at all, let alone the other Dukes.
The Undead Legion then directly took Duke Bilu into Rock City.
After entering the city, Duke Bilu saw that Rock City was full of Allen Kingdom's troops.
Moreover, the number was not small at all. When did the Bilu Kingdom's troops enter his kingdom?
Chapter 563 The Second Legend
Did the army enter the kingdom from another place? How many means does the Allen Kingdom still have that they don't know?
Allen had already been waiting for Duke Bilu in the Rock City Council Hall. Duke Bilu could just be used as a bargaining chip in his hand.
However, he had an even bolder idea in his mind, to control the kingdom without bloodshed.
"It's really been a long time, Duke Bilu."
Allen warmly welcomed the disheveled Bilu after he came in, and at the same time took out a scroll.
Duke Bilu also saw the leader of the Shadow Knights behind Allen. He had seen him once before.
"You actually betrayed the King. You will definitely be punished by the King. You traitor!"
Bilu scolded directly. He felt that the main reason for the army's failure was the leader of the Shadow Knights.
"Sorry, Duke Bilu, I only have one King in my heart, and that is Duke Allen. Don't forget your current situation."
The Shadow Knight leader's words made Bilu's face turn red. His situation was not much better.
