#481 - Chapter 481 Objective: Liberate Loki

In the underground conference hall of the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, dim lights cast shadows on the walls, reflecting circles of conspirators.

The entire space was silent. The members of the God's Knights sat around a massive round table, each with a solemn expression.

Topman Warcury Saint stood at the forefront, his cold gaze sweeping across the crowd as he said in a deep voice, "Our target is clear—Prince Loki of Elbaf."

He didn't waste words, but went straight to the point, showing how seriously he took this operation.

Topman Warcury Saint stood tall, his cloak swaying slightly, revealing his inner determination and ruthlessness.

He tapped the map on the table, which clearly marked the terrain of Elbaf and the location of the royal palace.

That land was covered with towering trees, and the city walls were high in the clouds, full of primitive and wild power.

Topman stared at the area, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "The defenses of the Giant Kingdom are impregnable, but that doesn't mean they can't be breached. We need to defeat them with lightning speed and release Loki directly."

He paused and looked up at the knights present.

Each of them was armored and helmeted, looking at him solemnly, but with a hint of anxiety in their eyes.

After all, Elbaf was known for its strength and indomitability, and Loki was the legendary prince who murdered his father to seize the throne. Both his reputation and strength were daunting.

However, Topman's voice rang out again, dispelling all concerns: "Remember, Loki may be a giant, but he is also a rebel! He killed his own father and used any means to gain power. Such a person is destined to be our target. His existence will lay the foundation for our victory!"

His voice was hoarse. They hadn't wanted to take this risky step, but the world was slipping out of their control.

"Understood!"

"We will certainly not fail in our mission!"

His words aroused a low response.

The knights clenched their fists. Some cursed the barbarity of the Giant Kingdom, while others stroked the edges of their weapons, as if they already saw the blood splattering on the future battlefield.

Topman Warcury Saint's eyes remained cold. He knew in his heart that this battle was not only a conquest of Elbaf, but also a test of the God's Knights' loyalty.

This was a war with no retreat. If they could successfully release Loki, the reputation of the God's Knights would resound throughout the world, and even the Five Elders would rely on them even more.

However, if they failed, all that awaited them was destruction.

Topman Warcury Saint picked up a short sword from the table, the sharp blade gleaming coldly in the light.

He pressed the tip of the sword against Elbaf's location on the map, his eyes as firm as iron, "Everyone here is the strongest warrior of the God's Knights. Elbaf is our touchstone, and Loki's liberation will be our gift to the world. This time, we will not only release Loki, but also make the entire Elbaf contribute their strength to us!"

At this moment, a member of the God's Knights stood up, his rough voice with a hint of doubt:

"Lord Topman Warcury Saint, Loki is not only a powerful giant, but his whereabouts are also very secretive, and almost no one knows. We must be cautious."

As soon as this was said, a low murmur rang out in the conference room. Everyone knew about Elbaf's strong defenses, and even the God's Knights couldn't help but have doubts.

Topman was not annoyed by the question. Instead, he smiled slightly, his cold tone revealing a hint of crazy excitement, "Cautious? Of course, we must be cautious! But don't forget, you are the God's Knights, the blade of the world! The stronger Elbaf is, the more it can prove our unparalleled strength."

He changed the subject, his tone suddenly becoming sharp, "Don't forget, behind us is the Holy Land Mary Geoise, the supreme Im! Our actions have received the highest support, and anyone who hinders us will only die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the morale of the knights gradually rose. Everyone stood up, drew their weapons, and slammed them heavily on the table, making a clanging sound of metal.

The sound echoed in the conference room, as if announcing the upcoming battle, and also reflecting the surging killing intent in their hearts.

Topman Warcury Saint raised the short sword in his hand, looking into the distance with firm eyes, "Let's go! Our next stop—Elbaf!"

With Topman Warcury Saint's order, the warriors of the God's Knights immediately assembled. They were heavily armored and looked solemn, following Topman's footsteps and heading towards Elbaf.

The wind lifted the knights' cloaks, and the black robes fluttered in the air, like dark clouds pressing down on the land.

Topman Warcury Saint's eyes were cold and firm, holding the sword of war, full of an irresistible majesty.

As they marched, the air was filled with a suffocating atmosphere of killing.

Topman Warcury Saint rode on a tall warhorse, his eyes, through his heavy helmet, were fixed on the front, as if he was approaching the borders of the Giant Kingdom.

He had already planned everything in his heart—first release Loki, then control him with the secrets he held, and make this rebellious prince of the Giant Kingdom work for them.

As long as Loki was willing to take action, Jin An would no longer be able to ignore the threat from Elbaf, and the Five Elders' mission would be successfully completed.

Topman Warcury Saint sneered in his heart. Once this plan succeeded, it would not only enhance the deterrent power of the God's Knights in a short period of time, but also use Loki's power to contain Jin An.

This ingenious plan of killing two birds with one stone filled his chest with restless fighting spirit.

Thinking of this, he slowly raised his hand, signaling the knights to stop for a moment, and then took out a crystal shimmering with a ghostly blue light from his waist. This was one of his bargaining chips to control Loki—a relic from ancient technology.

He looked at the crystal in his hand, his eyes flashing with an extremely dangerous light.

The crystal seemed to have undercurrents surging, emitting a strange energy that made the surrounding knights feel a inexplicable chill.

This crystal was once regarded as one of the top secrets by the Five Elders, and now, it will play its true role in Topman Warcury Saint's hands—completely tame Loki, the rebellious prince of the Giant Kingdom, and make him a sharp butcher knife pointing directly at Jin An's heart.

Topman put away the crystal and waved his arm, ordering the knights to continue moving forward.

Their footsteps sounded like thunder, shaking the entire earth.

"Releasing Loki is only the first step," Topman thought to himself, "Controlling him is the only way to truly control the power of Elbaf."

He had detailed plans for each of the following steps, and the core of these plans was to use Loki's ambition and hatred to completely lead him to the path of confrontation with Jin An.
