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, the most lacking thing now was 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 plains below, his eyes shining with an inexplicable luster.

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 shuttled 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 expression 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, looking towards the sky, above the red moon that was obscured by dark clouds.

In recent months, the scarlet world has undergone 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.

"Heading 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 Duke of the Southern Border.

Today, the Tucker Kingdom is in a state of 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 in the Tucker Kingdom.

But now, the Duke of Southern Territory suddenly sent 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 vortex 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 Blue Sky City. Blake looked around and found that it was a great knight who was better than him.

Immediately, Blake no longer hesitated and led his men to ride into 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 in the sky represented, the terrible feeling of depression always enveloped Blake's heart.

"What's going on, Jack?"

On the blue sky city wall, the most elite soldiers of the southern border were standing ready. Blake looked at the sky in shock and asked Jack next to him.

But Great Knight Jack shook his head, his face full of solemnity.

After a while, the whirlpool in the sky disappeared.

But the dark creatures that came out of the whirlpool stayed outside the Blue Sky City. Seeing the dense army of darkness, Blake couldn't help but gasp, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Above the sky, the red moon is like blood.

The crimson light spread, dispersing the surrounding dark clouds. As the red moon spread, the dark army below turned into a black torrent and launched an attack on Blue Sky City.

Blake gasped.

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 kind of fear coming from the depths of his soul.

"Warriors! Do not be afraid!"

Suddenly, a dull voice sounded, and Blake looked around and saw the Duke of the South appearing on the city wall at some unknown moment.

The old man, who is over fifty years old, seems to be in high spirits at this moment.

The Duke of the Southern Territory was wearing a golden armor. His body that should have been extremely old was now exuding a strong aura, and his eyes were glowing like a newborn.

"This is……"

Blake's pupils shrank for a while, and a certain thought suddenly came to his mind. He couldn't help but feel his heart throbbing, and murmured: "Paladin!!"

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

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

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

Black never thought that the rumored Duke of the Southern Territory, who was already very old, was actually a paladin. If this was the case, then what happened to the previous chaos in the kingdom.

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

To a mortal, the fighting power of a Paladin is as powerful as a god. If the Duke of Southern Territory is really a Paladin, then he can choose any prince to ascend the throne by virtue of his own strength.

Or even become the king himself!

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

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

But before he had time to react, the army of dark creatures in the distance had already launched a fierce attack on Blue Sky City. The dark creatures at the front were a group of skeleton soldiers, with dark flames burning in their skulls.

"Meet the enemy!"

As the Duke of the Southern Territory shouted, the battle officially began. Soldiers on the city wall, armed with armor, controlled ballistas and fired arrows downwards, but they still could not stop the dark creatures.

Not long after, the dark army arrived at the city.

The hundred-meter-high city wall may be a natural hazard for mortals to cross. However, the dark creatures trampled on each other and piled up into a hillside. The skeleton soldiers at the top rushed to the city wall.

When Blake saw this, a trace of determination appeared on his face.

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 South, Blake must protect his monarch as much as possible.

This is his belief as a knight.

What's more, deep in Blake's heart, there is not much fear when facing dark creatures, because he has seen the strength of the Duke of the South not long ago.

The Holy Knight is an existence close to a god.

Even if the dark creatures in front of him are menacing, in Black's eyes, they cannot pose a threat to the Paladins. You must know that in history, every Paladin is enough to destroy a country by one person.

However, after the battle started, Blake felt a twinge of fear in his heart.

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

"Could it be that...these monsters are existences beyond knights?"

Blake had such a thought in his heart, and suddenly felt a cold feeling rushing to his forehead.

"What are you thinking about!"

Suddenly, a loud shout beside him interrupted Black's daze. His friend Jack drew out the cross sword from his waist and swung it out violently.

Stab!

In an instant, a sword energy rushed away, killing several approaching skeleton soldiers, leaving Black stunned.

"Legend...legend?"

Blake was stunned on the spot. The strength that Jack showed just now has reached the legendary level. This is undoubtedly another bomb-like news for Blake, and he just feels like he is in a trance.

Blake was familiar with Jack as a friend for many years.

Both of them graduated from the same knight academy, and compared to Jack, Black was far superior to Jack in terms of talent and perseverance. Although both eventually became the realm of great knights, their combat prowess was very different.

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

To Black, Jack was not a good knight.

However, now, the opponent has shown the strength of the legendary knight, which is the realm that Black has dreamed of in his life.

"In the end what happened?"

Blake couldn't help but ask. Deep in his heart, he still couldn't believe that Jack had reached the knight realm through his own efforts. There should be some secrets about the other party's promotion and even the Duke of the South's paladin realm.

"Fight, Blake."

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

"The power of the world's gift?"

Blake's pupils shrank, and something strange appeared on his face. He keenly received the important information from Jack's mouth. Both the Duke of the South and Jack were promoted because of some kind of power.

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

Before Blake could ask more questions, the dark creatures under the city wall had already rushed to the top of the city wall. The southern soldiers resisted vigorously, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle. Only then did Blake discover that all the southern soldiers present had reached the level of knight. Realm, what's more, like Jack, he is already a legendary knight.

Obviously, this is all due to the power of the world’s gifts.

"Live and become a legend!"

There was a flash of fire in Blake's eyes. Becoming a legendary knight was his lifelong desire. At this moment, it seemed that he was close at hand. As long as he got the power of the world's gift, he could get his wish.

But the premise is that he can survive this battle.

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

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

Recently, due to personal reasons, updates have been interrupted. I can only apologize to everyone and normal updates will resume tomorrow.
