Chapter 720 Battle for the King
When Enzo learned that there might be a sixth-level life form in the Scarlet World, he inevitably felt a sense of oppression.
This body carries Enzo's original soul. If he falls here, he will also lose the strength of the All Souls Wizard. Even if he returns to the wizard world and is reincarnated, he can only rebuild from the apprentice level.
Moreover, what Enzo couldn't accept even more was that during the expedition to the Scarlet World, he did not die but was trapped by a sixth-level life form. Just like the twelve all-spiritual wizards, he had to do whatever he wanted to do to return to the wizarding world and be reincarnated. Less than.
However, fortunately, Enzo knew that the current situation of the sixth-order alien god was definitely not good either.
Since the other party chose to come to the scarlet world, it must be because he suffered some irreversible damage and had to cultivate through reincarnation, even at the expense of distributing his body to the indigenous humans.
"Blood Moon!"
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly. If he guessed correctly, that blood moon should represent the back-up force of the sixth-order alien god.
There is a high probability that it is the sleeping soul of the other party.
Thousands of years ago, the sixth-level alien god suffered irreversible serious damage due to some reasons, so he had no choice but to come to the scarlet world, split his body and soul, and turned his soul into a blood moon.
The body was eaten by the indigenous humans.
The eaten body of the god created the bloodthirsty clan. However, although these humans seemed to have obtained the power of the gods, in fact, they were just puppets of the alien gods and became part of the opponent's resurrection plan.
But now, the only thing that Enzo doesn't understand is that the twelve wizards who came to the scarlet world are there.
Because of the blood moon soul, they lost contact with the wizarding world as soon as they arrived in the scarlet world, but the twelve all-spirit wizards did not die. Even if the sixth-order alien gods wanted to kill them, it would not be easy.
What's more, at this moment, the alien god is still in an extremely weak state.
"Recover your strength first, and then look for the twelve all-spiritual wizards."
Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and he made a decision in his heart. He must first restore his strength in this world, and then he can carry out subsequent plans, such as destroying the resurrection of the alien gods and searching for the twelve all-spiritual wizards lost in the scarlet world.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.
The chaos in the Tucker Kingdom continues. As the eldest prince, the third prince, and the twelfth prince die one after another, only the fourth prince and the fifth prince are left who have the potential to compete for the throne, and both have the support of their respective forces.
The Duke of Southern Territory took back the seventh princess An Yiwei.
But no one had much confidence in this frail girl who was only fifteen years old. However, due to the death of the third prince, the Duke of the Southern Territory, who was desperate, could only combine the fate of his family with the seventh princess.
In addition, in the royal capital, the fourth prince Anthony has proclaimed himself king.
As a king with the support of the Western Territory, after occupying the royal capital, he was equivalent to seizing the opportunity. After successfully assassinating the third prince Andre, he gained more and more support from the nobles.
In today's Tucker Kingdom, the only person qualified to compete with the fourth prince is the fifth prince Anket.
This fifth prince with not very good blood has always been very prestigious in the army by virtue of his strength as a great knight. Especially recently, the two armies he led defeated the invading orcs on the front line.
For a time, the army resisting the orcs on the front line regarded the fifth prince as king.
Anket 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 the 200,000 troops towards the royal capital.
Apparently, he planned to go to war with the fourth prince Antony.
But before the 200,000-strong army of the fifth prince Anket arrived at the royal capital, they were stopped by the Northern Army. Although the Northern Duke did not explicitly state that he was loyal to the fourth prince Anthony, his behavior showed his attitude.
According to the attitude of the Duke of the North, it means that the fifth prince Ankate already has the support of the two dukes.
But even so, the fifth prince Ankate was unwilling to admit defeat.
Perhaps the great knight knew very well that surrendering at this moment would lead to death, so he led an army of 200,000 men and fought a battle with the Duke of the North's army in Pinggu. Neither side achieved a clear victory.
As for the southern border, they have been keeping their troops stationary.
It's not that they don't want to intervene in the war, it's just that they are unable to do what they want. The death of the third prince Andre has had a huge impact on the morale of the Southern Territory. Today, the Southern Territory can no longer withstand any defeat.
In the southern border, in Eagle City.
Eagle City, which was originally a border town in the South, had always been controlled by the Southland family. However, when Black brought an army of 60,000 people and took refuge with the third prince Andre, the Duke of Southland decisively handed over Eagle City to Black.
"This Duke of the Southern Territory can be considered a hero!"
On the wall of Eagle City, Enzo looked down and murmured 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 it. It obviously required a lot of courage. .
But this is also a heroic method!
Blake's decision to seek refuge with the third prince Andre was a decision that had not yet been fully made. However, with the news of Andre's death, his position became more uncertain. The princess has the ability and qualifications to become the king of 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 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 Blake obtained Eagle City, he directly gave several veterans the position of centurion and promised 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 condescending attitude.
"Blake looking for me?"
Enzo's heart moved, and he followed Grant's footsteps to the castle in Eagle City, where he met Blake in a hall.
Blake at this time was wearing a suit of armor.
The place that was supposed to be the castle hall has been transformed into a military intelligence office. 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 Anket confronts the Duke of the North in the Pingguyuan area, which is the only way from the front line to the royal capital. If Anket 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 Kingdom of Tucker, 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 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 hands 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. He was thinking about it. 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 the 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, Black 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 else, and Enzo guessed what the other party was thinking. Blake had 60,000 soldiers in command of Eagle City, and 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 person 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!"
