Hail the King Chapter 1181

Chapter 1181: Spear, Sword, and s.h.i.+eld (Part One)

[TL Note: This is a three-parter.]

                                                                               

Unavoidably, the continent fell into real chaos.

The death of more than ten hermit-like G.o.dly dragon knights truly infuriated the Holy Church, and this was the fuse that led to the outbreak of the war.

The Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church were the two biggest forces on the Azeroth Continent, and they tore off all disguises after a short period of unstable peace, pus.h.i.+ng the continent into the abyss of war.

Of course, some people guessed that the Holy Church decided to wage the war since the Human Emperor of the North appeared in the Southern Region. It meant that the troops at the Strait of Naples and the Northern Region Empire were without a true leader. Many people believed that this was the best time to launch the attack on the side of the Holy Church.

Some clues showed that Platini, the second most powerful figure of the Holy Church, had come to the Southern Region in secret. He brought powerful hidden forces with him, trying to ambush and take out the Human Emperor of the North in the Southern Region.

Many people processed information with inertia thinking, and they believed that the Northern Region Empire had a weak foundation, which was the lethal shortcoming.

If it weren't for the support of the Human Emperor of the North who was one of the most talented humans ever lived, the Northern Region Empire would need dozens of years to rack up enough wealth and strength to rival the Holy Church.

From this angle, once the Human Emperor of the North was killed, the entire situation on the continent would s.h.i.+ft drastically! This was an important strategic move for the Holy Church!

No one had expected that the broken Southern Region would become the epicenter of conflict for these two mammoth-like forces.

Or was this the location that the two forces chose on purpose?

A new whirlpool was slowly forming.

While the wind blew and clouds surged, everyone on the continent was looking at the Southern Region at this moment.

Time pa.s.sed by quickly.

In a flash, the expeditionary troop had already stayed in the City of Iduna for half a month.

Many changes took place in the city in the last half-month.

The Human Emperor of the North transformed this ancient city.

After hidden super-long-distance teleportation arrays were created and formed a delivery network, all the issues in the city were resolved.

A ton of food was sent into the city, alleviating millions of people's dire needs. Also, many soldiers, various equipment, and all kinds of strategic resources were moved from the Northern Region to the city.

In a short while, this human city that was about to be conquered transformed into a fortress that couldn't be taken down.

At the same time, some old, injured, and weak people were secretly teleported out of the city using the magic teleportation network that the Northern Region Empire built.

This city that was surrounded by the goblins became another training facility for the soldiers of the Northern Region Empire. Now that the people in the city didn't have to worry about running low on supplies, they organized several counterattacks and kicked away the goblins for more than 50 kilometers.

Some people couldn't understand why the Human Emperor of the North and the Northern Region Empire wanted to invest so much time and energy into this lonely city in the Southern Region.

What was the value of the City of Iduna? What was the value of the Southern Region?

Or was there a huge secret hidden in this land?

Chapter 1181: Spear, Sword, and s.h.i.+eld (Part Two)

                                                                               

While the Northern Region Empire focused on transforming the City of Iduna, the Holy Church also completed the restructuring of the other human city in the Southern Region. In the entire Southern Region, there was only the City of Iduna and the City of Allianz.

The joint forces of Juventus, Barcelona, and the Holy Church took control of the giant City of Allianz.

Also, the Holy Church constructed secret magic pathways and moved supplies into the City of Allianz.

At the same time, voices denouncing the Northern Region Empire became louder and louder on the continent under the Holy Church's push. Dozens of empires in the Eastern Region such as Everson and Sunderland all changed their positions and became hostile toward the Northern Region Empire after the death of their supreme masters.

These empires sent their elite troops to the Strait of Naples and the Southern Region, getting ready to battle the Northern Region Empire.

The situation on the continent became intense.

-The Strait of Naples-

Under the illumination of the setting sun, it seemed like blood was flowing on the land.

It was the 12th day since the beginning of the war. The troops of Barcelona and Juventus were defeated many times, losing a large piece of the territory that had a radius of about 5,000 kilometers as well as over half of their soldiers. This was a situation that these two empires didn't antic.i.p.ate before the war.

The troops of the Northern Region Empire got the rest and training that they needed, and they completely dominated these two powerful empires in terms of equipment and military discipline.

Especially the mage legion of the Northern Region Empire. The terrifying strength and strategies that it showed instantly destroyed the mages of Barcelona and Juventus.

"The magic abilities of the Northern Region Empire is at least 100 years ahead of us!" Frontline Commander Quagliarella of Juventus who was also a supreme master howled as he looked at the remaining defeated soldiers.

It was hard to believe that the Northern Region, which was called remote and had never given birth to a level 9 empire, somehow created this terrifying magic civilization. This was a miracle! It didn't fit the development path of magic civilizations on the continent; it was explosive and exponential.

This discovery made the frontline legions of the two empires fall into a state of chaos and anxiety.

The Holy Church started this war by sneak-attacking the Northern Region; it was hard to believe now. The Northern Region Empire figured out everything about the meticulously-created battle plan of the Holy Church and its forces. Now, this war seemed like a joke.

It felt like the people of the Northern Region Empire knew everything already.

In just about half a month, the Northern Region Empire completely understood the actions and weak points of the Holy Church, and they created plans accordingly and expanded their advantages.

The commanders of Juventus and Barcelona felt like they were giant dragons that were about to tear their enemies into pieces in rage. However, they were shocked to find that they fell into enemy traps that had been prepared for them. In the last while, regardless of what kind of counterattack measures that they employed, it was meaningless. Everything was within the people of the Northern Region Empire's estimations.

If it weren't for the G.o.dly Execution Knight Legion that defended against the mixed cavalry legion of the Northern Region Empire, about one million soldiers of the two empires would have been wiped out in the first wave of attack.

"The enemies have extremely intelligent commanders. They must be continental-level commanders. They can't be warriors like Golden Lion Lampard. Who are they?" Quagliarella asked this question.

Chapter 1181: Spear, Sword, and s.h.i.+eld (Part Three)

                                                                               

"It is heard that the head commander of the Northern Region Empire is named Aryang, the father of one of the 12 Gold Saints, Robbin. His background is mysterious. It is heard that they were broke in their early years, but the Human Emperor of the North saved them. This Aryang is called [The Human Emperor of the North's Spear]. Alongside [The Human Emperor of the North's Sword] Bast and [The Human Emperor of the North's s.h.i.+eld] Brook, they are the three most influential figures in the Northern Region Empire. They are the famous Spear, Sword, and s.h.i.+eld, and Aryang is the most mysterious among them." Commander Pique of Barcelona recalled the latest report and said slowly.

"Only this much?" Quagliarella frowned.

"We only have this much," Pique said with a bitter smile, "You have to know that the Northern Region Empire's history is too short. In fact, it is even shorter than the period of time that our intelligence workers spent on this Aryang."

"The battle at the Strait of Naples is tougher than we had imagined. It isn't a piece of good news for us that the Northern Region Empire has such a talented commander." Quagliarella stared at the red clouds in the sky and said, "Perhaps we need to use the old method to take care of this."

The bitter smile remained on Pique's face as he said, "The Holy Church already thought of it. However, out of the 11 ascetic a.s.sa.s.sins and the six elder-level a.s.sa.s.sins of the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.dly Palace who were sent out, none of them came back alive."

"What? So many casualties?" Quagliarella couldn't believe his ears as he gasped, "The elders of the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.dly Palace even died? Could it be that the Northern Region Empire also has its own a.s.sa.s.sin organization? To my knowledge, the ascetics of the Holy Church and the elders of the a.s.sa.s.sin G.o.dly Palace rarely fail."

"Of course, the Northern Region Empire has its a.s.sa.s.sin organization. The famous [Four Spikes] and the [Grim Reaper's Kiss] Demonic Shadow are all under the command of the Human Emperor of the North," Pique said that and s.h.i.+vered as if an a.s.sa.s.sin of the Northern Region Empire was behind him.

Quagliarella s.h.i.+vered as well.

[Grim Reaper's Kiss] Demonic Shadow was a rising star in the a.s.sa.s.sins' circle. This person killed 11 peak Burning Sun Lords and a supreme master consecutively without failure. This a.s.sa.s.sin's background was mysterious, and he was called the Representative of Death!

It was heard that this person had terrifying innate abilities, and even supreme masters couldn't see through his stealth technique. Therefore, this a.s.sa.s.sin could kill the targets with one strike, and he earned the name as the Representative of Death. No one knew about his background, and only a trace of demonic shadow could be seen. Many people believed that this a.s.sa.s.sin was going to take the throne as the No.1 a.s.sa.s.sin on the continent.

Quagliarella was shocked to learn that this a.s.sa.s.sin was also a part of the Northern Region Empire.

"If the Northern Region Empire sends this a.s.sa.s.sin after me…" Quagliarella suddenly felt like he had to change his tent and strengthen his protection as soon as he returned to his campsite.

"I have a feeling that we can't attack the Strait of Naples for a while. Our mission is to wait for the elite troops of the empires in the Eastern Region to arrive. Before that, we just need to stay undefeated… or not be defeated tragically. We must try to instigate the hatred between the Northern Region and the Eastern Region, attracting as much of the Northern Region Empire's attention as possible. After the battle between those two figures in the Southern Region is over, the outcome of this war will also be determined…" With that said, Pique turned around and left.

"Those two… Platini and Alexander?" Quagliarella murmured these two names in his mind.

"About 10,000 kilometers to the southwest, the aura of a goblin G.o.d is detected…"

Fei received this piece of information in the City of Iduna.

"They finally moved? They couldn't wait? It is about time! Let's go! It is about time to figure out everything!" Fei turned the letter into dust and flew toward the southwest with the Valkyrie.
