Lord of War

William held the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, with a bright smile on his face.

"Huh? It's been a long time since I saw you smiling so happily." A man covered in thick black armor stepped over, his voice was clear and clean, "What good news did you get?"

There are many sword marks on the armor on the man's body, and even some other traces can be vaguely seen: such as corrosion, flame, frost, and many other traces left by many magical energies. However, if you look carefully, you can find that these "scars of glory" on this set of armor are constantly being repaired, and the speed is not too slow.

A piece of armor with self-healing ability, even if the defensive performance is negligible, its quality will usually not be lower than the epic level. If the defensive performance is strong enough, then its standard will definitely not be lower than the mythical level.

And this armor, whether it is physical defense or magic defense, is strong enough to be called.

This is the famous Armor of Night Curtain.

Both the Armor of Night and the Shield of Twilight allow the holder to have the ability to be almost invisible under the darkness of night. However, as two of the five artifacts possessed by the Goddess of Twilight, it is naturally impossible for such similar functions to exist. In fact, even the abilities similar to invisibility possessed by these two artifacts are different. utility.

The invisibility of the Night Armor allows the holder to make no sound when moving in the dark environment; while the Twilight Shield allows the holder to move around in the dark environment without being covered by the shield area. There will be no traces of airflow in any area.

In addition, another effect of the night armor is the ability to automatically repair, this ability will be doubled in an environment shrouded in darkness. As for the Twilight Shield, its other ability is force field deflection. All physical long-range strikes will be deflected, while magical long-range strikes will be immune to certain damage and immune to all shock wave effects.

Elsie took off the helmet. This helmet was not the Eye of Light, one of the five artifacts of the Twilight Goddess, but just a counterfeit, and its quality barely reached the legendary level. Apart from having relatively solid defensive capabilities, this helmet actually doesn't have any miraculous effects, but as a symbolic meaning, it is enough.

Since Dwight's Scarlet Knights were dispatched to the trade capital, William has built a team of werewolves, centaurs, foxes and some nomadic tribes with the Scarlet Knights as the core and combined with the special environment of the trade capital. The special mobile unit formed by human beings - "Wings of Liberty", is also the first truly multi-ethnic mixed army in the history of Miracle Continent.

In terms of combat power, although it is still only at the quasi-level four level, William is confident that he can truly train this army to a level five level.

Even a legion at the sixth level.

Of course, that would require at least three years of training time.

And Elsie, who had nothing to do, also led the Knights of the Dark Moon Gun under his command to hang out with William—because of Elsie's refusal to obey orders, the Twilight Church, which is now the dominant force in the Northern Continent, had to The journey to continue south was stopped. However, in order to prevent Elsie from being punished, Neil also allowed the Church of Twilight to set up a cathedral and conduct evangelism in the trading capital on behalf of Sean, but the area on the Wild Lands was affected by the conflict between Sean and Ess Winter. According to the agreement between them, this area belongs to the belief-ruled area of ​​the goddess of ice and snow and winter, so the belief of the goddess of twilight is not allowed to enter.

All in all, Elsie has been fighting with William in the Millennium Covenant Empire for nearly two years.

As far as casualties are concerned, although they are not serious, they are basically close to the bottom line.

Because many parties are constantly wrestling for their own interests, and they have not put too much thought into the plan to eliminate the undead disaster. In addition to the current collapse of the Peace Council, almost all countries and churches on the mainland have been involved in the wave of war. In the past two years, the radiation range of the undead disaster has also expanded from the Southern Continent to the Western Continent. Basically, nearly one-third of the Southern Continent and two-fifths of the Western Continent are under the threat of the Undead Disaster. Inside.

Even the Emerian Empire, which had been keeping an attitude of watching the battle, finally had to send troops to contain the spread of the undead disaster in the western continent.

It can be seen from this that the Millennium Covenant Empire, which is the main battlefield of the undead disaster, is at what level - the entire Millennium Covenant Empire, one-third of the area has fallen, and the undead troops from the plane of bones have increased to tens of millions Although two-thirds of them are just ordinary skeleton soldiers, which are equivalent to the first or second level legions, they are still very scary in terms of scale.

Elsie's "scar of glory" was left over after fighting high-level undead creatures.

"The Void King is back." William couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Shawn is back?" Elsie was stunned for a moment, and immediately let out a low cry of surprise, "Aha, I knew that guy didn't die so easily!"

Different from this slightly excited whisper, a very inappropriate cold snort sounded suddenly.

There was malice in the cold voice.

It wasn't malice toward Elsie, but it was clearly toward "Sean."

Elsie turned her head indifferently, staring coldly at the malicious person.

A middle-aged man in a black evening dress with straight hair. Although there are some bruises on his face, he still doesn't look embarrassed at all. He just stood here, exuding a powerful aura all over his body, even Elsie, who was wearing the night armor, felt a little palpitating when facing this strong aura.

This is the gap caused by the power level.

Elsie is not a genius, and it can even be said that his potential is actually of a more general type. But because of becoming a priest, as long as you have a pious and firm heart of faith, your strength can also be continuously improved. However, this way of promotion will naturally have certain limitations. After all, Elsie is not a descendant of Esswinter's blood like Cefanio, nor does she directly steal the power of the God of War like Emily. So after Elsie stepped into the legendary realm, his strength improvement speed became very slow.

The current him is nothing more than a legendary powerhouse of the thirteenth rank.

At this moment, although many people did not know the identity of the middle-aged man standing opposite Elsie, Elsie and William happened to be exceptions.

The Seventh Demon God, Edward the Confessor.

Eighteenth-order super strong level.

The level gap of five ranks is enough to crush everything, not to mention the level gap between Elsie and Edward, or the concept of strength between the legendary strong and the super strong, which completely belongs to the existence of two definitions.

However, even in the face of the Seventh Demon God, Elsie is not afraid.

"Okay, okay, we are all on the same boat now, so don't be like children." Seeing the daily confrontation between Elsie and Edward, standing next to Edward, the woman in The man in the dark red heavy armor could not help but make a helpless voice, "Such arguments are meaningless to our actions. Now that the army of the undead is getting stronger day by day, the return of the emperor of the Void Empire is only good for us. It won't do any harm."

"Shut up! Diane!" Edward shouted angrily at his companion.

Diane, who was wearing the angel costume Uriel's heavy armor, just shrugged, but he still said: "I'm serious, put down your childish and ridiculous thoughts. The return of the emperor is very important. For us, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. Now several superpowers have been born in the army of the undead, not to mention the three leaders who control the entire army of the undead. There is no such a few plane powerhouses under Xiao En's command. , we can't stand it at all."

"I said! Shut up!" Edward yelled angrily, "Who is keeping me under pressure and not allowing me to step into the ranks of the nineteenth step?"

"Okay, okay." Diane raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "But if you step into the nineteenth level and completely become a demon, then even if I don't take action, someone else will take action against you... So for For the sake of your temporary personal safety, you should just keep at this level of strength."

"Then you're going to say that we can't defeat those three undead leaders!" Edward shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Because it's the truth." Diane's face looked very serious, "Didn't you also be called Lei by that last time..."

"Kozilek." William "kindly" reminded him from the side.

"That's right... Didn't you get beaten up by that brat named Kozilek last time?" Diane said, "He seems to be a nineteenth-level powerhouse, and the one on the other end is called Lake The Lich, and the pair of deformed skeleton brothers Lucas, big and small, belong to this level of existence, if you go to them, you will be beaten."

"So! So! Say it!" Edward suppressed the anger in his heart, and said every word, "As long as I become a demon..."

"No." Diane shook his head, "If you become a demon, many people will trouble you. At that time, you will be expelled from this world, and the problem will become more troublesome, so you It’s best to suppress them at the current stage, and deal with those undead superpowers with me. As for the three monsters at the level of powerhouses, let Kozilek and the others solve them.”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Edward scratched his hair frantically, turned and left angrily as if he didn't want to talk to Diane at all.

And Diane, who claimed to be the temporary guardian of Edward, the demon god, chased after Edward while shouting "Where are you going?" and "Don't run around!" Vaguely, it seemed that Edward could still be heard roaring "Don't follow me!" After being suppressed, the two of them quarreled and drifted away.

Elsie, who watched a farce perfectly, let out a hearty laugh: "I can see such a happy scene every few days, it is simply a worthwhile trip."

"I think so too." William nodded sympathetically, "But I'm really curious about the way those two get along...Edward should be a superpower at the eighteenth level now, while Diane should only be at the seventeenth level Level? Logically speaking, if Edward wants to fight, Diane should not be the opponent, right?"

"Diane's actual strength is stronger than mine. Maybe...he has reached the legendary peak of the fifteenth level. If Uriel is awakened, it should be more than seventeenth level now. Maybe it should be the same level as Edward. level." Elsie thought for a while, and then said in a more conservative and cautious tone, "But once Edward becomes a demon, he should be able to quickly reach level 20, or even surpass level 20. But I believe this There must be something in it that we don't know about, Diane has emphasized many times, once Edward becomes a demon, then he will be rejected by the plane, and thus completely exiled."

"I don't quite understand the level of strength of you strong people. After all, I don't have that kind of talent." William shook his head and laughed, but there was not much regret in his words.

"In terms of personal combat power, you are not as good as me." Elsie laughed, "But in terms of tactics, ten of me are not as good as one of you.... Everyone has the value of everyone, and we cannot generalize .”

"That's why you stop the Twilight Church from going south?" William asked with a smile.

"Yes." Elsie did not deny, "Although many people are unwilling to admit it, in fact, the Southern Continent is now Sean's territory. If he keeps disappearing, it may arouse the greed and malice of other caring people , but now with his return, no matter whether others are willing to admit it or not, he is a well-deserved king of the south.... In history, only the Chinese Empire in the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent were able to achieve this level. The Emerian Empire. If the Millennium Covenant Empire is not always limited by civil strife, it can also become the uncrowned king of the mainland."

William was noncommittal and did not comment on it.

But he knew that Elsie's vision of seeing things was indeed unique. If the Church of Twilight insists on continuing to go south, then it is very likely that there will be a fierce and sharp conflict with the belief of the goddess of ice, snow and winter. He had to send troops to conquer the Twilight Church, so he would be in a hostile position with Elsie.

William believed that even Sean would never want to see this.

So after negotiating with Cefanio and the first concession made by Elsie, the three parties quickly reached a consensus: the wild land is the private belief area of ​​the goddess Esswinter, and the evening is not allowed. The Church of Light's involvement; while the capital of trade is the headquarters of the Church of Twilight going south, the Church of Ice and Winter will not set foot. As for the Southern Continent, the Twilight Church has the right to spread beliefs, but it does not have the right to preach. After all, this is the private belief property of the Void Empire.

In other words, the Twilight Church can build small churches in the Southern Continent, but they can only promote it in their own churches, and whether they can attract believers depends on their own abilities. But if they want to preach and spread faith in areas other than churches, then the Void Empire has the right to expel them.

"What are you going to do next?" Elsie asked.

"It just so happens that I recently selected a battle target, and I can take this brilliant victory as my gift to welcome Sean back." William smiled, but his words were full of strong confidence, "But Before that, the cooperation of Edward and Diane is still needed...I hope that Edward will temporarily stop his hostility and unreasonable behavior towards Sean."

"I think it would be better to go to them to discuss with them after about three or four hours, or after dinner." Elsie suggested with a smirk.

Regarding the relationship between Edward and Diane, William and Elsie, who have been in contact with them for nearly a year, have also explored some related experiences: that is, when Edward was annoyed by Diane, When you go to him to discuss things again, you can often get quick and satisfactory answers to your questions.
