Chapter 317 9 Dukes Siege

Chapter 317: The Nine Dukes Besiege (Thanks to the Fire Page People for sending the leader)

South Bank of the River Thames.

In the dark prison, the strong smell of blood permeated the air.

On the magic steel platform, Red Rose was no longer breathing. The severe pain caused by the scars all over her body destroyed her spirit. Her body still retained its full vitality, but her soul had been shattered.

Jiang He used his palm as a knife, pierced through the thick flesh on the left side of Red Rose's heart, cut open the heart with his hand knife, and skillfully drew the blood from the heart.

A complete body of a peak great knight, which makes the ultimate blood poison rise to level 24.

On the other side, Lor on the magic steel platform had lifeless eyes. After struggling desperately for more than ten hours, the rare iron-blood thorns broke more than twenty times. In the process of trying to change his fate, a lot of the power of destiny was consumed.

Red Rose died, but the reminder sound for killing the plot character did not sound. Jiang He was not surprised by this. From the description of the mission before the advent, there was no clear ownership of the sailing world for the time being, and titles and some special missions could not be activated.

Jiang He burned the corpse, sat down on the spot and took out the Sun Breathing Method, or the Sun Breathing Method.

In order to activate the blood transplant technology, one needs to cultivate the corresponding knight's true form. As for the reason why the Black Marquis plundered blood on a large scale, it is either that his technology is higher than that of the Caribib stronghold, or that the knight's true form has special effects.

"Fortunately, it's not a big problem."

Jiang He carefully looked at the scroll recording the breathing method. Wuhe had stolen many technologies from the wizard tower of the Deyok family in Prosperous Port. Among them, the second true form alchemy technology could deal with the current situation.

This technology is based on the "turbid above and clear below" theory in the field of alchemy. If the vortex cultivated by a normal knight is based on the physical body, then the second true form is based on soul power. In the shadow of the existing vortex, the soul power is used to replicate it, thereby cultivating the second breathing method and giving birth to the true form again.

However, this process will cause huge shock to the soul and there is a high possibility of becoming an idiot. To be precise, the starting point of the research and creation of this technology is actually mental attack, but just like pharmaceutical manufacturing, the results are greatly deviated from expectations.

Jiang He started to condense the soul vortex. On the surface of his own soul, the Soul Armor Blood Bat Knight took on most of the shock. The spiritual blessing and resistance of the Dominant Blood Body played a role, making the condensation relatively smooth.

However, even if an accident occurs, he can call for off-site support. Lilith has recovered a certain amount of soul power as the ship is upgraded, and can bear the damage on his behalf.

The basic part of the second true form is completed.

Brand new problems lie ahead.

The Solar Breathing Technique is recorded in a language that only the Moon Elves can understand, and others would not be able to decipher it even if they obtained it.

Jiang He focused his attention on the [Temporary Language Translation Module] bestowed by Origin when he descended.

This module is one of the important reasons why players can quickly integrate into the environment after arriving in the world, but for the language and writing of the mysterious realm, Origin does not seem to intend to provide a free opportunity.

Jiang He suddenly felt his back sink, and Lilith wrapped her arms around his neck from behind like a haunted female ghost.

"Opening the executive module should improve the translation status. It's no joke that players with authority don't have special privileges."

Lilith bit the other's earlobe gently, as revenge for the guy trying to use her to protect against harm.

Jiang He suppressed the strange feeling, raised his hand with a normal expression, and put it back into his spiritual world.

When the executive module was turned on, the record of the Sun Breathing Method came to life. The description alone was completely superior to the Gray Horse Breathing Method, the quality was like heaven and earth, and both this breathing method and the Sun Elves were unique.

"You can cultivate to the peak of gold, and hopefully break through to the heroic level, but there are some flaws that cannot be ignored."

Jiang He practiced the Sun Breathing Technique, and golden light gradually flowed on his body. The soul was replicated in the shadows of the nine whirlpools in his body, and the knight's true form condensed for the second time.

A huge sun with a diameter of ten meters rose in the prison.

The blessing of the first stage of the true form immediately brought a significant improvement to the control of flames.

[Hint: Your control over fire has been upgraded to the ultimate level]
[Hint: You have obtained the perfect energy property - Burning]
[Tip: Silver energy value: 8401→9001]
Jiang He raised his right hand, and five colored flames of bright red, pale gray, dark green, pitch black, and golden yellow burned fiercely at his fingertips.

"With the ultimate level of flame control, the power of the five-colored fireball has been significantly improved, and the Spear of Victory of the Fate Oath has also been strengthened accordingly."

Before Jiang He could stand up, a reminder tone suddenly rang in his ears.

[Tip: Because Brownie Deyok has succeeded to the throne and has the support of 90% of the nobles, the Proof of the Strong mission has been changed to: Kill Brownie Deyok (the last white rose)]
Squeak!

The prison door opened and Margaret and Duke Wyatt walked in together.

"Prime Minister, I want to use this Baron Lor to threaten Queen Eleanor to open the city gate." Margaret smiled charmingly.

"Of course." Jiang He narrowed his eyes.

Several construct knights took Lor away. His sun elf bloodline was almost completely awakened, and his hair turned a dazzling platinum color.

Margaret said goodbye and left.

Duke Wyatt sighed deeply and said regretfully, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, I originally wanted to bring you and Mary together, but unfortunately things are unpredictable. Please allow me to leave first."

"See you later." Jiang He nodded. The Queen Eleanor thing was probably just an excuse. The situation should have changed, but his top priority was to master the second stage of the sun's true form and then kill the last white rose.

……

September 8, evening.

The outer city of the royal capital.

As the Bourbon army pressed forward, their main force was destroyed in the southern plains, and the citizens of the royal capital fled in large numbers.

Thanks to previous propaganda, in the eyes of the citizens, the Bourbons are barbarians who are no different from the natives of the New World, eating raw meat and drinking blood, and killing people without hesitation. However, the individual people who still remain in the royal capital are all tough men with iron will.

The people had left the buildings, and the capital was in an unprecedented state of depression.

Tens of thousands of hastily assembled auxiliary troops, together with the nobles' private soldiers, smashed, looted and burned, and plundered the remaining property. There was chaos everywhere, and occasionally one could see houses engulfed in flames.

Roland came to his former villa, wearing heavy armor, holding a knight's sword, with an extremely serious expression, even with a hint of anger. Since he ascended the throne yesterday, the new king Browne has quickly distanced himself from him. He originally thought that there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects, but according to the guards, the new king's situation was very difficult, and the estrangement was actually for protection.

Tonight, the new king sent a note through his guards, hoping that both parties would meet in the villa for discussion.

Roland's disgust for those nobles reached a peak. The Rebellion of the Seven Kings was all caused by this group of people who had no king or father. They were not even as good as termites in the wooden beams.

When Roland stepped into the manor.

The Duke of Golden Lion and the Duke of Flowers, who was of Bourbon origin, had been waiting here for a long time.

Roland sensed something was wrong and asked coldly, "Where's the young master? What have you done to him?"

The Duke of Golden Lion looked at him with pity.

Duke Baihua shook his head and said nothing.

Even at this time, this talented knight was still stubbornly loyal to his monarch, but it was a pity that the monarch he was loyal to had betrayed him.

"To murder the king..."

"do not talk."

The Duke of Golden Lion instantly came to Roland who had drawn his sword.

There is a huge gap between the peak knight and the ordinary knight, not to mention that the Duke of Golden Lion is not a weakling among the peak knights.

"You shall die with all sincerity."

Roland was fearless. He summoned his true form and swung his sword to chop off the enemy's head. This was a trap, but he did not believe that the Duke's descendants would betray him. The Duke was proud and upright, and his bloodline descendants would not be so despicable.

The Duke of Golden Lion smashed his true form and the knight's sword with one punch, just like a golden lion pouncing on its claws. At the same time, a dazzling array of flowers bloomed, and the Duke of Flowers cut off Roland's head from behind, causing him to die painlessly.

Without any surprise, the two top masters joined forces and killed the genius knight Roland in seconds.

On the clock tower in the distance, the Black Marquis looked down.

A great knight of the Church of the Holy Blood came over and reported in a low voice.

"Pope, Margaret has secretly entered the city under the escort of the five great dukes. According to the agreement, the new king ceded the southern plains to the Bourbon nobles. We have interrogated Baron Lor, and the Sun Breathing Technique has fallen into Anor's hands."

Click!

The sound of the handrail on the wall being crushed was heard.

The Black Marquis frowned. Only a Moon Elf like him could understand the Solar Breathing Technique. Only the Solar Breathing Technique could activate the potential of the Sun Elves to the maximum extent. This was something he must obtain.

"He is so greedy that he forgets everything else."

"Do you think you are invincible?"

"The Saint Lilith, the personal spear, and Wan Lei who disappeared after the Second Generation's death. You have three S-level secret treasures and you're still not satisfied."

The Black Marquis was afraid of someone's greed. He had no intention of becoming an enemy of the other party because of his extraordinary combat power, but he had no choice at this moment.

"Tell Stuart and the Dukes of Bourbon about the three S-level treasures. The wedding of Margaret and the new king will begin now. Hang Roland's head at the city gate. Gather the church troops who have come to the capital. I will personally preside over the promotion ceremony."

The Black Marquis made up his mind: "Let the army and the dukes surround and kill Anor and use his life as a gift."

"clear."

……

December 8, late at night.

The situation that was originally on the verge of breaking out suddenly reversed.

Djordjock III and Margaret held their wedding in the New Red Castle. Nine dukes from both sides attended the wedding, along with many nobles. The Wyatt family was promoted to electors, and the nobles who participated in the War of Restoration received the Southern Plains. Everyone was happy.

King D'York III ordered the Storm Captain and the Northland Fleet to clear the way and allow the United Knights and the Assisting Legion to cross the river. The war was over and Stuart needed to provide the necessary hospitality.

North bank of the Thames. The army crosses the river.

A gray warhorse stepped out of the river. Jiang He looked up into the distance and saw a blond head hanging on the city gate. The whip marks on the left face were stained with blood. It was the great knight Roland.

"It turned out to be like this."

Jiang He was amazed. Although Brownie succeeded to the throne, he had no power and could not change his inherent weakness. He could not understand the behavior of abandoning a loyal knight. After all, loyalty was more important than ability in many cases.

Under the cover of night, the dim and swaying street lamps cast a faint light, barely illuminating the bumpy stone road. This main road leads directly to the Red Fort in the inner city.

The cold evening wind whistled through the streets, raising gusts of dust and making ghostly whimpers. The surroundings looked empty, with no pedestrians in sight. The prosperous outer city had now become deserted and dilapidated in every place.

The army entered the city in an orderly manner, but a siege was vaguely formed.

The nobles' private soldiers and the Holy Blood Church's army came out from houses and alleys, and lined up with guns drawn on the main road. There were as many as 70,000 of them.

Nine dukes appeared from all directions, with fear and greed in their eyes. If the Black Marquis did not take action, it would be fine, but once he did, he would go all out.

The Duke of Golden Lion looked at the figure in front of him, with an unclear meaning.

The man rode an eight-legged grey warhorse and held a silver spear with dragon pattern in his hand. In full view of everyone, he took off the mask on his face, revealing an extremely handsome face with cold eyes and a blood moon imprinted between his eyebrows, which had a strange beauty.

Count Rhine, or Prime Minister Anor, both were powerful figures in the kingdom, causing the fall of multiple top fighters. Now it seems that he is just one person.

The evening breeze swept in, and countless soldiers gripped their weapons tightly.

Jiang He glanced around with disdain and said with a faint smile: "There are less than ten people at the peak, do you look down on me?"

"Rhine, hand over Wan Lei, that's White Rose's!"

"The Saint Lilith is a treasure of the kingdom. I can deliver it to His Majesty together with you."

"Use the silver spear as atonement."

"Kill my son William, and don't surrender!"

The dukes spoke one after another, especially Duke Wyatt, who was the most angry. He had previously wanted to match his daughter with the other party, but now it seemed crazy.

"Fire!" the Duke of Golden Lion shouted the order.

The moment the order was given, the muzzles of the guns hidden in various places in the houses spewed out flames, and streams of orange-red light shot through the sky.

Boom!

The shells created countless large pits on the spot, with smoke and dust billowing, but someone had already disappeared.

The gray warhorse leaped forward, and its speed was extremely fast. As the spear tip stabbed out repeatedly, countless silver arcs of light burst out. Hundreds of construct knights in front of the innermost part of the encirclement were killed or injured in the blink of an eye. The terrifying weight was transformed into impact, blasting them all into scattered blood mist.

The knights looked horrified. Despite the prior statements from the top leaders, the invincible gunlight still destroyed their morale.

"Death!"

The Duke of Giant River took the lead in launching the attack. A huge river in endless flow surrounded him, containing tremendous impact. The Duke of Giant River and the Duke of Blue Thames reached the pinnacle in the true form of river. One was the main attacker and the other was good at defense. Both were powerful figures who had been famous for a long time.

boom!
The knight's giant sword merged with the giant river, like a tsunami, enough to destroy the warship head-on.

Jiang He swept the gun with all his might, and the long spear light of the Forty-Eight Wolf Smoke Gun burst out. It seemed that a hundred-meter-long sword appeared in front of him. A dark red light flashed, and thousands of construct knights and thousands of soldiers were cut in half to death. The heavy construct armor shattered instantly.

Not far away, the Duke of Frost summoned his true form. Ice mirrors lingered around the Duke of Giant River. Dark red gun light attacked, shattering all the ice.

The huge waves separated into upper and lower parts, and the expression of the Duke of Giant River changed drastically. The gun light cut off his great knight's armor, shattered the knight's giant sword, and invaded his flesh and blood at the moment. The perfect energy properties exploded, withering, corroding, burning and extinguishing life. The real damage cooperated with the soldier soul dragon to directly kill the soul.

With one shot, the Duke of Giant River fell.

"Let's attack together!" The Duke of Golden Lion roared. The enemy was so strong that they had to join forces.

"Seize the three secret treasures!" Duke Bourbon boosted morale.

Roar!
The two blood-related people simultaneously materialized the true form of golden lions. The two lions roared and charged out violently, sweeping across the earth and lifting up layers of the ground.

At the same time, Duke Wyatt and Duke Grizzly merged with their true forms. The ten-meter-tall three-headed demon wolf and the gray giant bear rushed forward with an overwhelming momentum.

Jiang He threw the spear in his hand. Even though it was not the Spear of Promise of Victory, it still had sufficient killing power!

Long!
Guided by fate, the spear pierced the night sky and hit the Frost Duke who was trying to sneak up to freeze the enemy not far away. The ridiculously high spear damage combined with the energy properties nailed him to the ground.

Jiang He stretched out his hands, and the moment he clenched his fists, brilliant lightning that illuminated the night sky burst out from his left fist, and his right hand burned with an extreme flame of five colors, and two ultimate levels of control were activated.

"Thunder on the left and fire on the right."

He punched out with both fists, and lightning shot out in a straight line, crushing the roars and shouts of the two lions, tearing the ground apart along the way, and turning the flesh and blood of the dead knights and soldiers into charred ashes. The lightning struck the Duke of Bourbon at a speed beyond sight, shattering his true form as a golden lion, sending him flying for thousands of meters and smashing straight into the ruins of the inner city.

At the same time, the five-colored fire fist hit the attacking gray giant bear. This fire attack was blessed with the perfect-level skill, fatal blow. When the damage broke out, a fist-sized golden sun quickly expanded and grew in the surging flames, and the knight's true form, the sun, exploded.

The sun's true form enters the second stage of use, and combined with the instability of the five-colored flames and fatal blows, it creates a sun fist bombardment with explosive damage.

A blinding beam of light rose tens of meters high, and the impact, accompanied by a raging flame, destroyed more than thirty houses in the surrounding area. Thousands of soldiers were affected and turned into charred ashes. A ten-meter-tall giant bear sank into the raging flames, its body collapsed and shattered into countless pieces, like a meteor splashing across the entire outer city.

The Grizzly Duke falls.

"Kill him, we must not give up all our efforts!" The Duke of Golden Lion roared: "One on one, who among you can withstand his revenge? Kill him!"

The three giant wolves have already rushed to the enemy, and the ultimate biting force of the magic wolves is spit out from their mouths, like three giant sword beams that can cut through everything. The beams are entangled and fused, and the power is multiplied, reflecting the countless meteors of the grizzly bear fragments, representing the revenge of the Wyatt Family, and slashing down with force.

boom!
"Pay William's life!" Duke Wyatt placed all the hatred and anger accumulated so far into the slash.

The giant sword's beam hit the ground, instantly creating a deep crack that stretched for a hundred meters, killing thousands of soldiers by mistake.

"Damn it!"

Duke Wyatt watched his mortal enemy disappear, leaving only a scattered bloody figure in its place.

Mobius switched positions twice.

In an instant, Jiang He appeared from his original position, the gray warhorse disappeared, and with a silver spear in his hand, he activated the super speed mode, turned into a stream of light, leaped up and smashed off one of the demon wolf's heads.

Whoosh!
An explosion at a speed that surpasses that of most peak silver players.

The silver gun light cut off the demon wolf's limbs, torso, and long tail, smashed its chest, internal organs, and heart cavity, and finally crushed its two heads, brutally dismembering the ten-meter-long demon wolf.

Blood rained down, and bones and flesh were scattered all over the ground.

The pieces of the demon wolf fell, and Duke Wyatt died.

Countless knights and soldiers were frightened.

The great knight was killed without a complete body.

The Duke of Golden Lion could not hide his fear and anger, and roared: "He has little fighting spirit left, and he must be loyal to the kingdom! Anyone who leaves a scar will be made a duke, no matter how big or small. I swear in the name of the king and the knights!"

A brief moment of silence.

Tens of thousands of knights and assisting soldiers burst into thunderous roars. At first, only a small number of people were moved, but in the relatively narrow battlefield, it soon evolved into a riot.

An endless crowd of people came from all directions. The Bourbon army and the private soldiers of the royal nobles numbered more than 100,000.

The five remaining top fighters stopped attacking. Duke Bourbon dragged his wounded body back from the inner city. Giant white eagles circled in the sky. Brown wolf beasts lurked in the shadows. Duke Baihua disappeared without a trace. Everyone waited tacitly for the cannon fodder to drain the enemy's energy and strength.

The roar of killing came like a tsunami.

An ordinary great knight raised his sword and slashed down with an extremely ferocious expression. Behind him followed a dense crowd of construct knights.

Jiang He looked at this group of guys who were looking for death indifferently, raised his hand and a five-colored fireball burst out, the area of ​​100 meters in front of him was cleared, and the big knight who was hit by the fireball had his whole body broken into pieces.

In the thick smoke, seven great knights launched a siege. Although their strength was not as strong as the peak combat power, they were also qualified to control their true forms. Various knights' true forms rushed out of the smoke.

Zizizi!
A lightning spear appeared beside Jiang He.

Zhenshan's double spell was repeatedly activated, the energy value dropped by 5,000 points, and 500 lightning spears surrounded him, aiming at the enemies in all directions and shooting out instantly.

The straight lightning lines intertwined into a complex and tangled spider web, and the area within a radius of 500 meters turned into a dead zone with corpses everywhere.
Broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, blood soaked the charred earth and gathered into dark red streams. The pungent smell of blood filled every inch of the air. The armor was broken, the weapons were scattered, and from time to time, arcs of dark blue lightning could be seen rising.

Seven great knights were killed, more than three thousand construct knights were killed, and the death toll of assisting soldiers exceeded seven thousand. Looking around, there was no living person standing in the center of the battlefield.

The outer city of the royal capital was deathly quiet, with only the crackling sound of flames burning through rock and iron. But just a few seconds later, an overlapping series of lion roars resounded throughout the battlefield, and the knights and soldiers shouted and charged again out of false courage, almost losing their minds.

The Bourbon royal family inherits the bloodline of the golden lion and can command lion groups to hunt powerful prey.

Jiang He sneered, raised his hand and swung the spear, and wherever the silver light went, there was blood and rain. His energy value was indeed far from enough to kill all 100,000 soldiers, but even the simplest martial arts could turn him into an efficient killing machine.

Sweeping across, twelve people exploded.

With a powerful blow, the Great Knight's true form and body collapsed together.

The long spear stabbed straight through the chest and abdomen of the seven people. With a slight shake, seven fireworks made of flesh and blood appeared.

With a twist and a stab, the fan-shaped area in front of Jiang He was suddenly cleared. He turned around and stabbed, and a blood mist appeared. The iron armor of the construct knights that rushed up from all around shattered and all died.

The broken body fragments piled up around and turned into mud after being trampled. They were constantly stacked and compacted, and gradually formed a hill like a high platform.

Aside from the roars of lions, shouts of killing, and wails, the outer city of the royal capital was terrifyingly dead silent. In every corner, countless nobles and citizens watched the battlefield with trepidation. The silver light danced wildly, releasing a bloody and cruel weird beauty. Tens of thousands of soldiers seemed to take the initiative to face the gunpoint and died one after another.
