Chapter 365: Saving the Day
🕑 Added 2025-08-13 09:47:31 +0000 UTCHigh in the sky, a huge flying demonic beast screeched as it descended onto the airship. A group of figures instantly jumped off its back a large beastman force.
This sudden scene made the airship tremble, and the guard knights were caught completely off guard. After regaining their senses, they didn't say much and directly engaged in fierce combat with the attackers.
As for the huge flying demonic beast, it was shot down by the fleet's heavy cannons.
"...You damned beastmen! How dare you attack the Aldegyr envoy!" Guard knights wielding golden holy swords and heavily armed, towering beastmen clashed.
The unexpected ambush caused significant damage to the escort, but the beastmen also suffered.
Aldegyr's unique high-end technology... the Artisan Spirit System.
Using the ship's spirit furnace to transmit a large amount of spiritual power, it temporarily elevated the weapons' spirit rank to the level of holy swords. The Aldegyr Holy Ring Knights, equipped with this technology, held a lofty reputation in Northern Europe, even being considered the nemesis of demons.
Holy swords possessed a unique lethality against demons. Therefore, although the beastmen, who had the advantage in numbers, succeeded in their ambush, they also suffered considerable losses. The few remaining were the strongest ones, equipped with special anti-magic clothing.
"What nonsense are you spouting! We are the supreme existence! Since you dare to collude with the War King's Dominion, then die! Kingdom of Aldegyr!" The high-ranking beastman standing on the far left released an aura of violence from his eyes, clearly approaching a berserk state. "What!? You... the Black Death Emperor Sect!? Traitors of the beastman race, those terrorists who attempt to destroy the Holy Domain Treaty!?" The beastman's words immediately made the remaining Aldegyr knights identify their true identities.
Hearing such insults, the beastmen instantly turned bloodshot and roared loudly.
"We are the supreme race! How arrogant are mere human knights! Hmph! As expected, this ship belongs to the Aldegyr royal family, doesn't it?" The beastman leader narrowed his eyes, uttering words that made the knights' expressions turn grim.
"You..."
"No need to hide it. You're so agitated; I'm guessing there must be members of the Aldegyr royal family inside, right? Haha! Good luck! As long as we capture the one inside, we can then trade with your country and the War King's Dominion. What Holy Domain Treaty? Your kingdom and the War King's Dominion can be the first to start a war, paving the way for our great race! Charge! Leave no one alive!" With a glare, the beastman troop leader immediately gave the order to attack.
"Roar...!!!" Several high-ranking beastmen roared to the sky, releasing powerful magic from their entire bodies. Their bestial appearances looked terrifying.
A desperate struggle this was the most terrifying aspect of the beastmen.
Once they set their sights on someone, it was a fight to the death. This race, which retained its bestial ferocity, was indeed not to be underestimated.
Seeing the beastmen go berserk, the knights immediately tensed up.
"We must hold the line! We absolutely cannot let these lowly beasts succeed! The distress signal has been sent! As long as we hold out for a while longer, the people of the War King's Dominion will come to our rescue! For the glory of the knights! We will protect our lord with our lives!"
"For the glory of the knights! We will protect our lord with our lives!" The Aldegyr knights were also powerful magic combatants who would rather die than yield.
As the natural enemies of demons, knights wielding holy swords were definitely not weak.
But unfortunately, only one captain could truly use a simulated holy sword. The remaining few could only simply borrow the spiritual power output from the spirit furnace, and the amplification couldn't reach the level of a true holy sword.
"That one is mine! You guys hurry! Even if it means death, kill them all!" With a fierce shout, the beastman
leader's body violently expanded.
His original nearly three-meter tall body instantly grew larger again, becoming a full four-meter tall gorilla.
With a roar, he lunged at the captain.
The desperate battle resumed. Beastmen and knights fought each other to the death, tearing each other apart.
Blood and screams were incredibly chilling under the cold moonlight.
And while the knights were fighting the beastmen, inside the warship, a fairy-like delicate, angel-like cute silver-haired girl was quickly running towards the escape pod storage room.
"It's quite lively, isn't it? Not sleeping at such a late hour, everyone's so energetic. Especially the beastmen, there are still remnants, or are you not from the same unit?" Just then, a voice filled with amusement rang out, making everyone freeze and look towards the source. At the edge of the front of the warship, a silver-haired youth had appeared at some unknown time.
"You are...?" Seeing the youth with flowing silver hair and unique blue eyes, just like their own princess, the guard knight couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you from the Aldegyr royal family? Kill him!" As for the violent beastman troop leader, he roared with a ferocious expression, a cruel glint in his eyes.
"Beastmen, you really don't learn, do you?" Hearing this, Blake slightly curled his lip and casually made a move.
In an instant, a hundred sword ki appeared, instantly killing all the beastmen.
"Gah...!" Looking at the dozen or so sword ki piercing his chest, the beastman leader was somewhat unresponsive. It wasn't until the sword ki disappeared and blood gushed
out frantically from the holes that the tall four-meter beastman painfully collapsed to the ground, looking in shock at Blake's indifferent face, as if he had done something insignificant.
Just then, he couldn't help but recall the fact that he couldn't contact the main force earlier. Coupled with Blake's words, he was stunned.
However, it was useless for him to overthink. His life force was fading, and soon he could only twitch a few times before dying.
"Are you all right?" Not caring about the deaths of the beastmen, Blake just glanced at the knights around him who had varying degrees of injuries. Then, his gaze lingered on a certain room for a moment before he casually asked.
He had originally been eating and drinking heartily with the four Vessels, even dragging Natsuki along, when he suddenly noticed the commotion in the sky. Thinking it was the Aldegyr royal family, possibly his future mother-in-law, or perhaps La Folia herself, he thought about it and decided to make this trip.
Even Natsuki had been held back by him, under the pretense of helping to take care of the girls.
This made Natsuki look at Blake strangely, convinced that Blake had some other sinister plot, otherwise, he would definitely not care about such unrelated matters.
However, although she thought so, Natsuki had no ability to stop him. As long as Blake didn't go too far, like destroying this border city, she didn't want to interfere.
Not to mention, this time it seemed to be a rescue. So Natsuki let it go, although she was displeased, she had gotten used to Blake's mystery and personality.
