Chapter 742 World Choice

Only in that way can you get a chance of winning!

"It's time..."

Enzo sighed, fluttered his wings and flew away. For him now, the most lacking thing is time.

…

At the same time, within the Tucker Kingdom.

The kingdom was ravaged by war and was full of refugees and bandits. The sudden death of the old king Andel quickly plunged the originally peaceful Tucker Kingdom into chaos. The kings fought as hard as possible in order to win the throne.

Southern border, Eagle City.

As a border city in the south, Eagle City has always been regarded as a barrier to the south. It is also the first line of defense for the nobles of the south to resist the fourth prince Anthony. The blade-like cliffs, combined with the towering city walls, are enough to withstand thousands of troops.

Of course, no matter how steep the city defense is, it can only stop ordinary soldiers.

For the truly strong, even a thousand-meter cliff cannot stop them.

At this time, on top of the Eagle City Wall.

Blake, who had just been appointed Lord of Eagle City a few months ago, looked seriously at the plain below, with an inexplicable luster in his eyes.

In the distance, the land is in a mess.

Gusts of cold wind swept across the earth, blowing away the gray-white fog. The battlefield where dead bodies were piled up was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and ghostly figures were moving through the gray fog.

"There are more and more monsters!"

As a great knight, Black had vision like an eagle's eye. Through the gray-white mist, he could clearly see the monsters wandering in the wilderness, looking for fresh flesh and blood to devour.

It was a humanoid creature, generally over three meters in size, covered in black scales, with scarlet eyes, cruel and bloodthirsty, resembling the legendary ancient creature ghoul.

Looking at the monster in the gray mist, Blake's face was solemn.

No one knows where this group of ghouls came from, and no one knows whether the appearance of this monster is related to the changes that have occurred in the scarlet world in recent times.

"Could it be...that everything has to do with the red moon?"

Blake murmured to himself and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky, above the red moon that was obscured by dark clouds.

In recent months, the scarlet world has experienced drastic changes one after another.

Not only was the Tucker Kingdom plunged into chaos due to the war, but unprecedented things happened in several surrounding kingdoms. Even the more distant Bingxin Kingdom was destroyed and disappeared in one day, reduced to the dust of history.

And all of this starts with the appearance of the red moon.

About three months ago, a red moon suddenly appeared in the sky, and a strange scene appeared in the eyes of the entire scarlet world. Immediately afterwards, various terrible disasters followed.

Mountains and rivers collapsed and black water swept across!

The appearance of the red moon seemed to symbolize the end of the scarlet world and the beginning of all disasters. In the Tucker Kingdom, Black was considered a strong man, but he had no clue about what had happened recently.

Even the entire Tucker Kingdom was afraid of the appearance of the red moon.

"Lord Black, the Duke of Southern Territory has sent an order to report to the main city of Southern Territory immediately."

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

Black turned around and saw a Southern Knight, half-kneeling in front of him, conveying the Southern Duke's order to him.

"Going to Blue Sky City?"

Blake frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion on his face. Blue Sky City is the main city of the southern border of Tucker Kingdom, and it is also the direct territory of the Southern Duke.

Today, the Tucker Kingdom is in war.

As the southern barrier, Eagle City is the first line of defense against the army of the Four Princes. As the lord of this place, Blake is responsible for commanding tens of thousands of troops. His responsibility is very important and can even affect the situation of the Tucker Kingdom.

But now, the Duke of Southern Territory suddenly issued an edict.

This puzzled Blake, but as a knight, since he had sworn allegiance to the Duke of the South, Blake was unwilling to break his oath, so he had no choice but to go to Blue Sky City.

Three days later, Blue Sky City.

As the hinterland of the southern border, the city defenses of Blue Sky City are very steep. The hundred-meter-high city wall is difficult for even knights to climb. In addition, the black iron crossbows that are ready to go on the city wall are enough to frighten the enemy.

Not far away, Blake pulled on the reins.

The guard soldiers behind him also stopped with Blake and looked at the Blue Sky City in the distance, feeling a little palpitating in their hearts.

On the city wall, elite soldiers were standing ready.

"what happened?"

Blake frowned slightly, with a trace of solemnity on his face. He didn't know exactly what happened in Blue Sky City, but just by seeing the guard on the city wall, he knew that something big must have happened.

So much so that Blue Sky City was so alert.

You must know that when the third prince Andre was assassinated and the Southern Territory lost the prince who had been supporting him, the situation in Blue Sky City was not as urgent as it was. It even felt like a turmoil.

"Let's talk about it first in the city."

Blake shook his head, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and was about to enter Blue Sky City with his guards.

But at this moment, a hint of black suddenly appeared in the sky.

Blake was startled, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the sky, only to see a whirlpool as black as ink appearing in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the black river water that seemed to be able to swallow everything surged directly onto the earth.

"Blake, come to town!"

Just when Blake was in a daze, a familiar voice came from the Blue Sky City. Blake looked over and found that it was a great knight who was on good terms with him.

Immediately, Blake no longer hesitated and led his men to ride into the Blue Sky City.

Bang!

As the city gate was locked, Blake's heart suddenly relaxed. Although he didn't know what the black vortex that appeared above the sky represented, the terrible sense of oppression always enveloped Blake's heart.

"What's going on, Jack?"

On the wall of the Blue Sky City, the most elite soldiers in the South Territory were on full alert. Blake looked at the sky in shock and asked Jack next to him.

The great knight Jack shook his head, his face full of solemnity.

Not long after, the vortex above the sky disappeared.

The dark creatures that walked out of the vortex stayed outside the Blue Sky City. Seeing the dense dark army, Blake couldn't help but take a breath, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Above the sky, the red moon was like blood.

The red light spread out, dispelling the dark clouds surrounding it. As the red moon spread, the dark army below also turned into a black torrent and attacked the Blue Sky City.

Blake took a breath.

He didn't know what these dark creatures represented, but as a great knight, Blake could clearly feel the horror of the monsters in front of him, which was a fear from the depths of his soul.

"Warriors! Don't be afraid!"

Suddenly, a dull voice sounded, and Blake looked over and saw that the Duke of the South had appeared on the city wall at some point.

The old man over fifty years old seemed to be in high spirits at this moment.

The Duke of the South wore a golden armor, and his body, which should have been old and frail, now exuded a strong aura, and his eyes released a luster like a new life.

"This is..."

Blake's pupils shrank, and a certain idea suddenly came to his mind. He couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart, and murmured, ": Paladin!!"

Scarlet world, the limit of the knight's road.

In Blake's concept, the Paladin is a level that only exists in legends. There are only a few records of it in history. The appearance of each Paladin means that the continent will usher in a turmoil.

In history, all beings who can achieve great unification are Paladins.

Blake never thought that the old Duke of the South, who was rumored to be old, was actually a Paladin. If so, what happened to the chaos in the kingdom before.

The Tucker Kingdom advocates force and has always respected the strong.

The combat power of the Paladin is as powerful as a god for mortals. If the Duke of the South is really a Paladin, then he can completely choose any prince to ascend the throne with his own powerful strength.

Even become the king himself!

You know, King Andel, who was able to suppress the Tucker Kingdom, was just a glorious knight, equivalent to a second-level life form, and the Paladin is a third-level life form. There is an essential difference between the two.

At this moment, Blake's mind was in chaos.

But he didn't have time to react. The army of dark creatures in the distance had already launched a fierce attack on the Blue Sky City. The dark creatures in the front were a group of skeletons with dark flames burning in their skulls.

"Meet the enemy!"

With the Duke of the Southern Territory's loud shout, the battle officially began. The soldiers on the city wall, armed with sharp weapons, controlled the crossbow carts and shot arrows at the bottom, but they still couldn't stop the dark creatures.

Not long after, the dark army was at the gate of the city.

The 100-meter-high city wall may be a natural barrier that is difficult for mortals to cross, but the dark creatures trampled on each other and piled up a hillside. The skeleton soldiers on the top rushed to the top of the city wall.

Seeing this, Blake's face showed a trace of determination.

Although Blake's mind was in chaos at the moment and he didn't know what he was facing, as a loyalist of the Duke of the Southern Territory, Blake must protect his monarch as much as possible.

This is his belief as a knight.

Moreover, in the depths of Blake's heart, when facing dark creatures, he did not have too much fear of creatures, because not long ago, he had seen the strength of the Duke of the Southern Territory.

Paladins are almost like gods.

Even if the dark creatures in front of him are coming fiercely, in Blake's eyes, they cannot pose a threat to the paladins. You know, in history, every paladin is enough to destroy a country.

However, after the battle started, Blake felt a little throbbing in his heart.

He underestimated the strength of the dark creatures in front of him. The skeleton soldiers who rushed to the top of the city wall were not only not afraid of death, but also possessed extremely powerful strength. Just an ordinary skeleton soldier had the combat power that was no less than that of a knight.

"Could it be... these monsters are beyond the existence of knights?"

Blake had such a thought in his heart, and suddenly felt a chill rushing to his head.

"What are you thinking about!"

Suddenly, a loud shout beside him interrupted Blake's confusion, and his friend Jack drew out the cross sword from his waist and swung it out fiercely.

Swish!

In an instant, a sword energy rushed out, killing several approaching skeleton soldiers, which made Blake stunned.

"Legend...Legend?"

Blake was stunned. The strength that Jack had just shown had reached the legendary realm. This was undoubtedly another bombshell news for Blake, and he felt a trance in his mind.

As a friend for many years, Blake was very familiar with Jack.

Both of them graduated from the same Knight Academy, and compared with Jack, Blake was far superior to him in both talent and perseverance. Although both of them eventually became the Great Knight, their combat effectiveness was very different.

Blake had sparred with Jack before, and in just three moves, Blake won.

For Blake, Jack was not an excellent knight.

However, now, the other party showed the strength of a legendary knight, which was the realm that Blake had dreamed of in his life.

"What happened?"

Blake couldn't help asking. In his heart, he could not believe that Jack had become a knight through his own efforts. There should be some secrets in his promotion and even the Paladin realm of the Duke of the Southern Territory.

"Fight, Blake."

Beside him, Jack shook his head and said solemnly, "If we can survive, you will become a legend, or even a knight of a higher realm. This is the gift of power given to us by the world!"

"The power of the world's gift?"

Blake's pupils shrank, and a strange look appeared on his face. He keenly received the important information from Jack. Whether it was the Duke of the South or Jack, they were promoted because of some kind of power.

And this power, in Jack's mouth, is called the gift of the world!

Before Blake had time to ask more, the dark creatures under the city wall had already rushed to the top of the city wall. The soldiers of the South fought hard, and the two sides were in a bitter battle. Blake then discovered that all the soldiers of the South present had reached the knight realm, and some, like Jack, were already legendary knights.

Obviously, this was all due to the power of the world's gift.

"Live and become a legend!"

A trace of passion flashed in Blake's eyes. Becoming a legendary knight was his lifelong desire. At this moment, it seemed to be within reach. As long as he got the power given by the world, he could get what he wanted.

But the premise was that he could survive this battle.

The invasion of the dark army plunged Blue Sky City into chaos. Blake then understood why the Duke of the Southland summoned him. It was probably to resist these dark creatures that came from nowhere.

At the same time, the reason why the world gave the Duke of the Southland power might also be related to these dark creatures.

Recently, due to personal reasons, I have stopped updating. I can only say sorry to everyone. I will resume normal updates tomorrow.
