#378 - Section 378
On the continent, Cruise and his numerous armies had nearly seized the Black Serpent Mountains, with a large portion of the troops stationed nearby.
Cruise hadn't anticipated that Duke Harry would be so much more cautious than he'd imagined; he'd probably already had his troops stationed near the mountains.
When the Bi Lu Kingdom had its incident, it was later occupied by Allen, who he knew definitely had thoughts of establishing an empire.
He was very clear about the conditions for establishing an empire: first, there had to be a legendary mage, and at least four kingdom territories.
Otherwise, Allen's kingdom territory alone would be too small, and Harry's heart became cautious about this.
He had stationed his troops near the mountains early on, so that if anything happened, he could immediately notify the Radiant Emperor.
Giving up the Bi Lu Kingdom had already been the Emperor's limit; occupying another kingdom would probably not be allowed by the Emperor.
Besides, it had been almost half a year since the Bi Lu Kingdom incident, and that legendary mage should be able to take action.
After the Black Serpent Mountains were occupied, Cruise directly ordered the Undead Legion to attack first and wipe out the garrison below.
They needed to open a breach first, and then allow the million-strong army to directly enter Harry's kingdom.
Otherwise, if a large number of troops couldn't enter, the King's plan couldn't proceed.
The Undead Legion, carrying the King's orders, quietly moved towards the Harry army ahead.
Most of the troops around the mountains were scattered, and the garrison ahead was only about ten thousand strong.
The Undead Legion took advantage of the night to silently annihilate the ten thousand troops; if a hundred Saints couldn't do that, then they wouldn't be Saint Knights.
Instantly, blood dyed the earth red, and from the start to the end of the battle, not a single sound was made.
"We can notify them to let the million-strong army enter; ahead is Muyesu City."
Undead Number One said to the Golden Knight behind him, "It has to be said that the resources on the outside continent are truly abundant."
From the hands of those enemies they had just killed, they had seen many precious medicinal herbs; he remembered hearing something like 'I am the Baron Lord'.
Duke Harry had also sent out many Barons, thinking that there was no danger, and it would be a way to add merit to those Barons.
It was because of this action of his that many Barons died near the Black Serpent Mountains.
After the Undead Legion cleaned up the surroundings, they continued to attack the next garrison location.
In this deep night, the Undead Legion's continuous attacks almost cleared out the garrisons on the edge of the mountains.
At the same time, they had also infiltrated the border of Allen's kingdom, directly occupying the mountains and nearby areas.
Duke Harry was completely unaware that his kingdom had been occupied by Allen's army, and countless border troops had died.
The Undead Legion had hundreds of Saints, and they directly split into five teams, with twenty Saints each attacking five cities.
The entire Harry Kingdom had only a dozen cities, and Allen's kingdom instantly occupied half of them; the impact was naturally needless to say.
"The King's plan is truly amazing; he calls this operation a blitzkrieg, quickly occupying five cities."
Rexa knew that with a hundred Saints in their hands, it was naturally easy, but this kind of battle plan could be done even without Saints.
Only five Saints were needed to complete it, but the King didn't want the army to have too many casualties, so he directly ordered the Undead Legion to attack.
"The King said that as long as we firmly control the five cities, the next step is to see what the Radiant Empire does."
"With the King's strength, he could directly occupy Harry's kingdom in an instant, but then he would have to face the Radiant Empire's desperate counterattack."
Cruise knew that every step the King took was within the Radiant Emperor's tolerance, and they wouldn't go all out.
The next day, after clearing up, Duke Harry was tasting fine wine, thinking about how to improve his own strength.
The steward hurriedly came in to tell him that five cities in the kingdom had been lost, and it was when they were conducting transactions that they found they couldn't enter.
"Who exactly occupied our cities?"
When Duke Harry said these words, his mind was basically blank; yesterday the kingdom was still very peaceful, and today he was told that five cities were gone.
"It's, it's that Allen Kingdom; they attacked too decisively, and we even placed the bodies of some of the defending soldiers outside the city."
The steward didn't know what to say; this kind of thing was really too shocking, he had never encountered such a thing.
"Damn Allen, even a hundred Saints have such strength."
"Let the remaining troops be stationed in the remaining cities; we can no longer lose any cities."
Harry hurriedly put on his armor and rushed directly to the capital; he didn't even put on the complete armor in the middle, the impact of Allen attacking the next kingdom was too great.
If Allen occupied his kingdom, would he attack the next kingdom, and then the Radiant Empire would no longer exist?
After Duke Harry entered the capital, the Radiant Emperor's face was gloomy; he never expected Allen's ambition to be so great.
Chapter 571: Soaring Strength
"I know about the matter; Allen seems to not have put my Radiant Empire in his eyes; he's just mastered a forbidden spell."
"How vast is our Radiant Empire; how many times can he release the Meteorite Forbidden Spell?"
The Radiant Emperor looked at Harry with anger, and a scarlet ring in his hand appeared at some unknown time.
Harry nodded slightly, but he still organized his words and continued to make Allen seem even more dangerous.
"Last time, the Emperor kindly gave him the Bi Lu Kingdom; now, if he occupies my kingdom, every time it's like this..."
Harry had already said all the possible things, and he clearly saw that the Radiant Emperor's expression already carried killing intent.
Last time, it was because he didn't want Allen to cause too much damage to the empire, but after the Harry Kingdom incident, he had to pay attention.
“Duke Harry, rest assured, both your kingdom and the Billu Kingdom will return to the hands of my Glorious Empire.”
After seeing Duke Harry leave, the Glorious Emperor knew that Allen's matter had to be resolved, otherwise the other dukes would probably start to worry.
The matter of the Harry Kingdom being occupied by Allen's Kingdom with five cities had already spread.
The news naturally spread from the Imperial Capital, with Harry's influence behind it.
For a time, dukes near Harry and the Billu Kingdom were worried, fearing that after the Harry Kingdom was occupied, it would be their turn next.
Allen's name spread directly to other empires, especially in the Nock Empire, where the impact was greatest.
In the Nock Empire, Duke Abyss came before the Emperor after hearing the news.
“Duke Allen's development speed seems to be much faster recently, and with his own strength, I'm afraid he won't even need five years.”
“Emperor, should we take a step ahead and vacate the kingdom? I don't think it will take five years.”
Duke Abyss respectfully looked at the Nock Emperor in the seat of honor, because according to Allen's speed of advance, he could probably occupy two kingdoms in this one year.
“What you said is indeed correct. Anyway, most of that area is mountains and ferocious beasts. It's useless for us to have it.”
After Allen's several actions, the Nock Empire knew that Allen's strength was much stronger than imagined.
Anyway, the stronger Allen's strength, the better. He knew that the Glorious Empire's old rival had two legendary mages.
The previous legendary mage, Petra Phil, was not the most powerful, but Raymond, who mastered the power of time magic.
At that time, Raymond's attack caused the people of two consecutive cities to die directly, and everyone who died turned into dry corpses.
It seemed that the life force in their bodies had been extracted. At that time, it really looked too terrifying.
So he planned to find a relatively powerful duke, and then directly establish a kingdom to contend against the Glorious Empire.
Although there are also legendary mages in the Nock Empire, it is best not to take action, which can be regarded as preserving the empire's strength.
In the seven days after the Harry Kingdom was occupied, the Glorious Empire did not take any action, and it seemed that even the army was not sent.
In fact, Cruise knew in his heart that the Glorious Empire must be preparing something, and it would probably not be long before they directly attacked the King.
He knew that the King had entered the Source World, and Cruise knew that the King seemed to have absorbed the potion and his whole body was transforming.
Next, the Allen Kingdom would depend on him, and there must be no mistakes in the middle.
The Undead Legion appeared in the border area, and a million troops were scattered in the five cities.
The casualties of those troops were irrelevant, as long as the saints in the Undead Legion were not harmed.
However, he was also a little worried about the King, because after entering the room in the Source World, he didn't hear any sound at all.
He knew that there was another legendary mage in the Glorious Empire, and he even mastered the means of time.
Anyway, Cruise arranged things little by little to prevent any casualties to the Allen Kingdom's army during this period.
Half a month had passed since the incident in the Harry Kingdom, and the Glorious Emperor was also waiting for that person to take action.
It was still half a month away from the end of the last attack. Anyway, when the time comes, two legendary three-star mages can directly take action.
As for other things, he didn't care much. As long as Allen died, the Glorious Empire would still be the same as before.
As the time for one month was approaching, Allen's consciousness returned to his body.
When he woke up, he found that his whole body was full of power, and divine power was constantly flowing in his body.
Now, the divine power seemed to be the power that he himself possessed, and he didn't need to extract divine power from the artifact at all.
Allen knew that this was just his illusion. Now his body could carry most of the divine power, and there would be no side effects when using it.
He tried to wave a punch in the air in front of him, and it directly made a sonic boom. He easily took a step forward, and the ground directly sank down.
“…My body's strength is probably already at the seven or eight-star level of a Saint.”
Allen didn't know what level was above a three-star Saint, but his physical strength could not be viewed with ordinary levels at all.
If he faced that legendary mage again, as long as he used space magic to get close, one punch would seriously injure him even if he didn't die.
Allen felt very confident in his own strength, and he could also see how the Harry Kingdom had become.
Whether the Glorious Empire had already attacked the Allen Kingdom, but no matter what, he was not worried.
When Allen came out, Cruise came to him as soon as possible, and the worry in his heart was also relieved.
“Your Majesty, since we took action, the Glorious Empire has been inactive for almost a month.”
“The whole Glorious Empire is saying that the Glorious Emperor is afraid of you, and all the dukes have already arrived in the Imperial Capital.”
After hearing this, Allen knew that this rumor was definitely false. It was probably true that all the dukes were discussing how to deal with him.
“By the way, Your Majesty, the Nock Empire has cleared a kingdom, just behind our kingdom.”
Cruise didn't expect the Nock Empire's speed to be so fast, and they had prepared everything directly.
Allen knew that although the kingdom was ready, the Nock Emperor still lacked some other things. It would take resources to help him establish an empire.
What he wanted was not just an empty shell kingdom. The kingdom given by the Nock Empire was a barren mountain range and a large number of ferocious beasts..
