Emperor Fraener spoke frankly. "Mr. Morpheus, I've heard from the soldiers guarding the borders that the situation in the northwest desert isn't too peaceful nowadays. A foreign organization has joined forces with the Altalune Kingdom, preparing to attack us. I wonder how you view this matter."Morpheus squinted, but his tone still sounded calm and indifferent. "The wars between nations in the mundane world aren't something we immortals can interfere with. However, if the Church of Netherphos were to pose evil intentions toward us, we wouldn't stand idly by."Rest assured, Your Majesty, our community will surely tackle this situation... In fact, I suspect they aim to seize the Dragon Dynasty's national artifact."A hint of astonishment flashed across Emperor Fraener's face. "Our national artifact is the divine weapon of the ancestral emperor. It possesses unrivaled divine power that makes or breaks the world. It must never fall into the hands of those wicked people...""Of course.
However, the drawback of the Vulcan blunderbuss was its slow reloading speed. Therefore, it required the cooperation of close combat weapons such as knives, spears, and short weapons to unleash its immense power on the battlefield.Having witnessed these fierce and valiant soldiers, Adrian truly felt the brutality of war. These soldiers stationed at the border had faced the battlefield for years, their faces and bodies weathered, marked by wrinkles.However, they had no complaints. The faces of all these soldiers were marked with bravery and fearlessness.On the afternoon of the day they arrived at Desolate Dune, Honorius led them to meet the general stationed here—Zane Berg.Zane was tall and sturdy, standing over ten feet tall. He resembled a giant, intimidating anyone who looked at him. His eyes were like bronze bells, and a circle of beard surrounded his face, giving him a stern and powerful appearance as if he could knock out a cow with a single punch.However, this burly Zan
Adrian pondered for a moment and said, "Immortals are not omnipotent. I can only go elsewhere to break rocks and move them here to create a path. However, this approach is too noisy. I'm afraid they'll discover it before the road is completed."Honorius shook his head. "That's indeed troublesome. Is there any other way? I've heard that immortals have extraordinary abilities to transfer space. Don't you have similar means? Can't you instantly move the entire army to the hill?"Zane nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, that would save us a lot of effort."Adrian smiled bitterly. "Although immortals possess spatial transfer abilities, unfortunately, I don't have such great skills. Otherwise, this war would be much easier."As Adrian finished speaking, Val mysteriously smiled. "You might not have it, but I do."Adrian was greatly surprised. "When did you acquire such great abilities? I don't know much about your skill level, but it shouldn't be much different from mine. You shouldn't be able to
After saying that, Val waved her sleeve, and a faint golden light appeared before her. Then, a small sapling emerged before everyone's eyes.This sapling was golden in color, only a few inches in size, but it was lush with branches and leaves, full of vitality. Around the small sapling, there was a circle of golden inscriptions floating faintly, adding a mysterious touch to it.Quintin and Honorius, having witnessed various extraordinary abilities, weren't too surprised. However, Zane opened his mouth wide, no longer resembling a military general but more like a child fascinated by some novel object."This is the Divine Waltz Tree?" Quintin exclaimed. "Alright, it's settled then. Tomorrow, we'll launch a surprise attack on those barbarians!"As the saying went, "All is fair in war."War was different from children's play pretend. Often, the key lay in taking the enemy by surprise. As long as you could crush the opponent, informing them beforehand was unnecessary.It was a gloomy
These people quickly devoured the massive roasted pig, leaving only a clean set of bones.After satisfying their hunger and thirst, everyone's faces were filled with contentment. Meanwhile, Father Reth looked solemn, seemingly lost in thought.Suddenly, shouts and the sounds of a fight came from outside the tent. Before everyone could react, a wounded soldier rushed in. "Report! General, it's bad! The army of the Dragon Dynasty has bypassed the quicksand and iron caltrops using some kind of demonic magic and is directly attacking our camp!""What?!" The people present were all furious, especially General Aadan, whose face was solemn. With a fierce slap, the long table in front of him instantly shattered into pieces. "How cunning of them! Come, follow me! Let's fight our way out!"As the group rushed outside the tent, they found the large military camp in complete chaos. Everywhere, there were flickering figures, burning flames, and splattering of blood. The sounds of screams and cl
The army was completely suppressed quickly. Those who hadn't died were taken as prisoners. Although the war there had come to an end, Adrian and Val's tasks were just beginning.During the recent chaos, they sensed that one person remained remarkably calm throughout. This person hadn't made a move and had stayed hidden inside a tent during the chaos.Adrian and Val had noticed him, and he flew away in the distance as soon as the war ended.This person was none other than Father Reth, who had been in the tent earlier.Father Reth hadn't participated in the battle and now wanted to escape. How could Adrian let him slip away?Adrian and Val exchanged glances and immediately gave chase without hesitation.Zane approached Quintin and asked, "Mr. Quintin, where are they going?"Quintin replied, "They have their own matters to attend to."Adrian and Val had arrived in the depths of the desert, with the Altalune Kingdom lying ahead. As they landed on the ground, they came across a pers
Below the Netherduke were the 13 Netherphos Elders, ranked from lowest to highest in colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white.Judging by his white robe, Father Reth held the highest rank, standing as the first among the elders under the Netherduke. Elders of this level were considered half-deities.The white-robed elders' status was only surpassed by the Netherking and the Netherduke. Therefore, many people worshiped and revered them."So, he's quite powerful! In fact, the Church of Netherphos is a cult that gains supernatural power through faith and worship, and they're not considered immortals. They don't practice the immortality arts!"After listening to Val's analysis of the organization's structure, Adrian couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't just a cult—it's clearly a small country, a small regime!"The Netherking, huh? If I get the chance, I really want to meet him. But let's deal with the trouble in front of us first!"Val nodded. "Let's join f
Who exactly was this Father Reth, and how did he know all this?!While Adrian was pondering, Val spoke to him again. "The space we're currently in is a separate dimension I created using the Divine Waltz Tree. You don't need to hold back in this space, so unleash your full power! Remember, either the enemy dies, or I perish!"Adrian nodded, not hesitating any longer. His mana surged as he unleashed his strongest attack, forming a massive airwave that headed toward Father Reth. The airwave flipped in the air, transforming into a thunderstorm that descended upon Father Reth.Simultaneously, the surrounding space began to burst into countless fragments.The immense pressure came crashing down, catching Father Reth off guard for a moment. This was not solely achieved by Adrian, as his level was not high enough to wield such spatial-shattering power. However, in coordination with Val, they were able to achieve this.He knew that now was the time to make a desperate attempt. He couldn't
