Chapter 720: Battle for the King
When Enzo knew that there might be a sixth-order life form in the Scarlet World, he inevitably felt a sense of oppression.
This body carries Enzo's original soul. If he dies here, he will lose the strength of the Wanling Wizard. Even if he returns to the Wizard World to reincarnate, he can only start from the apprentice level.
Moreover, what Enzo can't accept is that he did not die in the expedition to the Scarlet World, but was trapped by a sixth-order life form, just like the twelve Wanling Wizards. He can't even reincarnate in the Wizard World.
However, fortunately, Enzo knows that the current situation of the sixth-order extraterritorial god must not be very good.
Since the other party chose to descend to the Scarlet World, it must be because he suffered some irreversible damage and had to cultivate through reincarnation, and even did not hesitate to disperse his body to those indigenous humans.
"Blood Moon!"
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly. If he guessed correctly, the blood moon should represent the back-up of the sixth-order extraterritorial god.
It is very likely the other party's sleeping soul.
Thousands of years ago, the sixth-level outer god suffered irreversible serious damage for some reason, so he had to descend to the scarlet world, split his body and soul, and turned his soul into a blood moon.
And the body was eaten by those indigenous humans.
The eaten body of the god created the blood chaos clan, but although these humans seemed to have obtained the power of the god, in fact, they were just puppets of the outer god, and became one of the other party's plans for resurrection.
And now, the only thing that Enzo didn't understand was where the twelve wizards who descended to the scarlet world were.
Because of the blood moon soul, they lost contact with the wizard world as soon as they descended to the scarlet world, but the twelve all-spirit wizards did not die. Even if the sixth-level outer god wanted to kill them, it would not be so easy.
What's more, the outer god was still in an extremely weak state at this moment.
"Recover your strength first, and then look for the twelve all-spirit wizards."
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and he made a decision in his heart. He must first recover his strength in this world, and then he can carry out subsequent plans, such as destroying the resurrection of the outer gods and looking for the twelve all-spirit wizards lost in the scarlet world.
...
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
The chaos in the Tucker Kingdom continued. With the death of the eldest prince, the third prince, and the twelfth prince, the only ones who had the potential to compete for the throne were the fourth prince and the fifth prince, both of whom had the support of their own forces.
The Duke of the South took back the seventh princess, An Yiwei.
But no one had much confidence in this weak girl who was only fifteen years old. However, due to the death of the third prince, the desperate Duke of the South could only combine the fate of his family with the seventh princess.
In addition, in the capital, the fourth prince Anthony has already established himself as king.
As the king with the support of the West, he occupied the capital, which was equivalent to seizing the initiative. After the successful assassination of the third prince Andre, he gained more and more support from the nobles.
In the current Tak Kingdom, the only one who is qualified to compete with the fourth prince is the fifth prince Ankate.
This fifth prince, whose bloodline is not very good, has always been very prestigious in the army with his own strength as a great knight, especially the two armies he led recently, which defeated the invading orcs on the front line.
For a time, the army on the front line resisting the orcs has regarded the fifth prince as the king.
Ankate received the support of 200,000 troops and ended the battle with the orcs. After simply stabilizing the situation on the front line, he led 200,000 troops and marched towards the direction of the capital.
Obviously, he planned to go to war with the fourth prince Anthony.
But before the 200,000 troops of the fifth prince Ankate arrived at the capital, they were stopped by the northern army. Although the Duke of the Northern Territory did not explicitly state that he had pledged allegiance to the fourth prince Anthony, his behavior had already made his attitude clear.
According to the attitude of the Duke of the Northern Territory, it means that the fifth prince Ankate already has the support of two dukes.
But even so, the fifth prince Ankate was unwilling to admit defeat.
Perhaps this great knight knew very well that if he surrendered at this moment, he would only die. Therefore, he led an army of 200,000 and fought against the army of the Duke of the North in Pinggu. Neither side achieved a clear victory.
As for the South, the troops remained inactive.
It was not that they did not want to intervene in the war, but they were really powerless. The death of the third prince Andre was a huge blow to the morale of the South. Now the South could no longer withstand any failure.
In the South, in Eagle City.
Eagle City, originally a border town of the South, had always been controlled by the South family. But when Blake brought 60,000 troops and joined the third prince Andre, the Duke of the South decisively handed Eagle City to Blake.
"This Duke of the South is also a hero!"
On the wall of Eagle City, Enzo looked down and muttered to himself. Not long after the death of the third prince Andre, the Duke of the South dared to hand over Eagle City to Blake, who was not very familiar with him. Obviously, it took great courage.
But this is also a heroic move!
Blake's decision to join the third prince Andre was not yet fully made, and with the news of Andre's death, his position became more uncertain. Blake did not think that the seventh princess, who was pushed to the throne by the Duke of the South, had the ability and qualifications to become the king of the Tucker Kingdom.
However, at this time.
The Duke of the South handed over Eagle City to Black, and gained Black's allegiance through absolute trust. Although he paid for a border city, he got a great knight and 60,000 soldiers.
This kind of exchange is undoubtedly very cost-effective, but the premise for the Duke of Southern Territory to do all this is mainly due to his trust in Blake's character.
"Enzo!"
While Enzo was thinking, a voice suddenly came from behind him, and Grant trotted over.
At this time, Ge Lan and others were no longer as embarrassed as before.
He defected to Blake when he was in despair and gave his absolute loyalty. After acquiring Eagle City, Blake directly gave several veterans the position of centurion and promised them that as long as they became knights, they would be promoted to centurions immediately.
You know, in the Tucker Kingdom, captains have the opportunity to become nobles, especially in times of war, if they have made some military exploits, or even directly obtained territory, they have the opportunity to become nobles.
For several veterans, this is undoubtedly a dream.
"Is something wrong?" Enzo turned around and asked.
"Master Black, please come over."
Grant said hesitantly. Ever since they learned about Enzo's identity as a bloodthirsty man, several old men had inexplicably felt nervous when facing this young man, although Enzo had never shown a superior attitude.
"Blake looking for me?"
Enzo's heart moved, and he followed Grant's footsteps to the castle in Eagle City, where he met Black in a hall.
At this time, Blake was wearing a suit of armor.
The place that was supposed to be the castle hall has been transformed into a military intelligence office by him. On the huge table is a sand table, with small flags on it indicating the distribution of the major forces in the Tucker Kingdom.
Among them, the fourth prince Anthony was the most powerful.
The 200,000-strong army of the fifth prince Ankat confronts the Duke of the North in the Pingguyuan area, which is the only way from the front line to the royal capital. If Ankat wants to return to the royal capital for a decisive battle with the fourth prince, he must Break through the Duke of the North's blockade.
In addition to the fourth and fifth princes, there are also some royal bloods who also appear in the form of forces on the sand table.
However, although these royal blood are also the heirs of the old king, the strength they control is not worth mentioning. In Black's view, they have no qualifications to compete for the throne, except for the ninth prince Andrew.
Speaking of the Ninth Prince Andrew, he was originally just an unknown person, but after the old king passed away, he escaped from the royal capital by accident and ended up in the territory of the Duke of the East inexplicably.
In the Tucker Kingdom, it is almost universally known that the ninth prince Andrew has a cowardly character. When Andrew came to the East, he was immediately detained by the forces of the Duke of the East and placed under house arrest in the name of protection.
Blake knew very well that the Duke of Eastland planned to sit on the sidelines.
This old fox has not yet made a decision, whether to support the ninth prince Andrew to fight for the throne or to swear allegiance to the fourth prince Anthony. He will not make an easy decision before the battle of Pingguyuan is over.
If the power of the fourth prince Anthony is strong, then the Duke of the East will immediately send the ninth prince in his hand to the royal capital to show his goodwill to Anthony. And if the war between the fifth prince and the fourth prince will hurt both sides, then the Duke of the East will Will consider whether to support the ninth prince to fight for the throne.
If there is the support of the Duke of the East, then the Ninth Prince will most likely become a dark horse in the fight for the throne, although the real situation is that he is just a puppet.
"Enzo, you're here!"
Blake stood in front of the sand table and was thinking. When he saw Enzo coming, he immediately raised his head and said, "Sit down!"
Enzo nodded slightly and sat next to him without being polite.
"I wonder what Mr. Black has to do with me."
Enzo asked softly. During this period of living in Eagle City, Enzo had been searching for things related to the Bloodsuckers, while silently recovering his strength. Now his breathing skills have reached the level of a legendary knight, which is equivalent to that of a legendary knight. Advanced life form.
However, with the use of the chip, Enzo can completely fight the second-level life forms in the Scarlet World. Now, he can be regarded as the most powerful existence in the Tucker Kingdom.
However, Enzo does not intend to show his strength easily.
After this period of familiarity, Enzo understood the history of Scarlet World and the layout of this continent. As he had previously deduced, Scarlet World was originally just an ordinary alien world.
The continent in the central area is the main part of the scarlet world.
On this continent, in addition to the Tucker Kingdom, there are six kingdoms and a large number of principalities. Countries often wage wars against each other because of their interests. This time the Tucker Kingdom is in chaos, and the Black Sea Kingdom next to it has been watching with eager eyes. .
However, for some reasons, the Black Sea Kingdom did not launch a war.
With Enzo's current strength, he may be considered the most powerful being in the Tucker Kingdom, but he may not have absolute dominance over the entire continent, especially when there is the mysterious alien god.
Enzo must keep a low profile until his strength has recovered to a certain level.
"I came to you this time to ask you for a favor."
After a while, Blake slowly spoke and said in a deep voice, "You should know that since the assassination of the third prince Andre, the Duke of the South has been planning to support the seventh princess to fight for the throne."
Enzo nodded and said, "You know, didn't you know that this seventh princess was taken back to the main city in the south some time ago?"
Blake had a strange look on his face and shook his head helplessly.
"That's just fake news released by the Duke of Southern Territory in order to stabilize the situation."
Blake looked hesitant, took a deep breath and said, "The seventh princess was not brought back to the Southern Territory, but has been living outside. Even the Duke of the Southern Territory does not know her specific location."
"After such a long period of inquiring, we finally found the traces of the Seventh Princess."
"But if the Fourth Prince Anthony learns that the Seventh Princess is still outside, he will definitely send out assassins again. Therefore, the Duke of Southern Territory sent me a message and wanted me to leave Eagle City to pick up Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."
Blake told what happened, but Enzo raised a brow.
"Does the Duke of Southern Territory already trust you so much?"
There was a trace of weirdness on Enzo's face. You must know that although the original Blake was on good terms with the third prince Anthony, he was not a vassal of the third prince after all. Now that he has joined the Southern Duke's camp, he should not be completely trusted.
However, what the Duke of Southern Territory did was surprising.
This legendary knight not only gave Black the Eagle City, but also entrusted him with the important task of bringing back the Seventh Princess. It must be said that it was a great trust. With Black's character, he must have surrendered to the Duke of Southern Territory at this moment.
"So, Lord Black wants me to bring back the seventh princess?"
Enzo didn't need Blake to say anything more. Enzo guessed what the other party was thinking. Blake had 60,000 soldiers in command of Eagle City. Naturally, he couldn't leave easily. The task of bringing back the Seventh Princess could only be left to his subordinates.
Under Black's command, Enzo is undoubtedly the strongest being.
Although Enzo's identity as a bloodthirsty man makes Black feel a little wary, so far, Enzo has not shown any abnormality. Even the eldest prince's 60,000-strong army was conquered by Black only because of Enzo. .
"Why doesn't the Duke of the South send his own people to look for the seventh princess?"
Enzo frowned and suddenly asked, "Although Lord Black has joined the Duke of the South's camp, the Duke of the South will not leave such a life-and-death matter to others so easily, right?"
There was a trace of weirdness on Blake's face, and he sighed, "The situation of the seventh princess is a bit complicated. In addition, the Duke of the Southern Territory has planned to temporarily join forces with the fifth prince Ankait, so he may leave soon to send troops to support Pingguyuan!"
