" Lord Goodwin, you're awake?"
Regina had been by his side when he had fallen into a lucid dream. During this period, she had dozed off a few times due to exhaustion, but she did not leave the room.
Unlike other summoners, she could not accompany her apostles. Perhaps she could only use this method to support him.
"Regina, why did the Blasphemer attack the Empire?”This was the first thing he asked after waking up.
"Eh? Because they are monsters…right?" Regina was stumped. " They are dark creatures, so they are jealous that we are blessed by the gods…"
Regina's answer was exactly the same as what was written in the theological books. What a model student.
"Could it be that they attacked the Imperium just to leave the Land of God Punishment?”Goodwin proposed a hypothesis.
"Why would you say that?"
"You'll know when you've been to the Land of God Punishment. Who would want to stay in that kind of place?”
"But Blasphemers are monsters…? They are different from us. We will get sick if we stay in the Land of God Punishment, but they can live there forever. Maybe they like that place…?”
"How could a group of creatures who hate God like to stay in a place that was once punished by God?”
According to the history books, the Land of God Punishment was destroyed because its residents had angered the gods and suffered the lightning punishment of the gods.
Regina looked confused.
"I'm just a little curious. There's no need to be so serious.”Goodwin smiled.
He got up from the bed. "I have an appetite now. Is there anything to eat?"
"Oh, wait a moment. I'll go and prepare it immediately!”Regina hurried into the kitchen.
After having a " feast," Goodwin joined the new round of battle.
While he was sleeping, the other apostles had already completed a wave of attacks on the frontline fortress of the Blasphemer. Now, the main force of the Empire had entered the Land of God Punishment. The army of the Imperium was advancing smoothly on the northeast and the east battlefront, but they were met with strong resistance on the southeast battlefront.
Goodwin was sent to support the front line with the other two apostles.
The key to advancing the southeastern front was a pass that the empire called the Tiger's Mouth Pass. The Tiger's Mouth Pass was extremely narrow. It could be said that one man could hold the pass against ten thousand people. If they didn't go through the Tiger's Mouth Pass, the army would have to cross the mountains to reach the southern area of the Land of God Punishment. Under the continuous erosion of the poisonous fog, the army of the Imperium would never dare to travel so far.
Blasphemer's construction technology was rather backward. It could not even build a decent stone building. The sturdiness of the fortress depended on the natural terrain. Tiger's Mouth Pass, on the other hand, had a very favorable terrain. Not only was the passage narrow, but it was also high in the east and low in the west. The 'blasphemers' could attack the army of the Imperium from a high vantage point.
Previously, Luo Shan, who was known as the Apostle of Fire and Thunder, had tried to destroy the fortifications here and killed some of the defenders. However, even so, the imperial army still could not reach the pass. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, the commander ordered," They would wait until the apostles arrived.
When Goodwin and the other apostles arrived, it was already midnight. However, in the Land of God Punishment, there was not much difference between day and night. The biological clocks of the soldiers were all messed up, so they didn't feel sleepy. With the commander's order, a new battle began.
Among the three apostles, neither Goodwin nor Roshan could fly, so the heavy responsibility of attacking the fortress was on the shoulders of the Sky Apostle, Sasha. Sasha looked like a cute girl, but she was 1.5 times taller than Goodwin, and her wings were four to five times longer. As they were both apostles, Goodwin had secretly thought about whether he should have a relationship with her that surpassed his height. However, there were many obstacles in the relationship between summoned creatures, so this idea was quickly denied by him.
Goodwin strengthened Sasha's body with the Imprint of the Soul, while Roshan used a combination of fire and lightning to pave the way for her. She thought that she would successfully charge up the mountain, but she was met with the firepower of the Blasphemer. All kinds of magic spells came crashing down. Sasha's wings were shot and she crashed into the ground. She was so big that Goodwin and Luo Shan barely caught her.
"Why are there so many mages among the Blasphemers?”Goodwin complained.
Blasphemers are creatures that are good at magic.”Luo Shan replied.
After Sasha's summoner treated her injuries, she launched a second round of attacks. Goodwin also tried to use Weapon Control Imprint to control the axes and pitchforks to shoot all over the sky to provide her with some cover. This time, Sasha had successfully killed several defenders, and Goodwin had used the Mark of Death to drive the dead to increase the results of the battle. But in the end, Sasha was still unable to withstand the magic attacks and was knocked off the mountain.
It was indeed impossible to rely on Sasha. Goodwin and Ro Shan tried to climb up the mountain pass, but falling rocks, rolling logs, and a thunderstorm that came out of nowhere made it difficult for them to move. The three apostles looked at each other, at a loss.
Just as they were sighing and healing their wounds, there was a commotion in the army.
"Bishop Brunsina has arrived!”
Bruncina? That genius summoner? A young noble lady who was younger than Regina but had already become a bishop? He hadn't heard that she was coming.
Goodwin didn't like her very much. But now that their advance had been thwarted, it was good to have more helpers.
"Descend, Lord Tino Taylor.”
The huge pillar of fire tore through the clouds and fog and hit the ground. The soldiers were all moved by this scene. The apostle wrapped in flames suddenly appeared.
"Can you please break the line of defense of the blasphemers?”Bruncina's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of majesty.
"Alright." Tino Taylor headed straight for the top of the mountain pass.
Hey, you should at least say hello before you attack. Shouldn't everyone work together at this time?
"Let's follow." Luo Shan said.
The three apostles followed Tino Taylor up the mountain. They only saw sparks flying in all directions, ice and lightning intertwining.
By the time they reached the mountain pass, the battle had already ended. The ground was filled with the corpses of Blasphemers.
Tino Taylor was looking at them with the eyes of a victor.
"That's not right, right? This group of Blasphemers wasn't this weak when they attacked us just now, right?”Goodwin laughed dryly.
No one responded to him.
"Hey, the difference between us and that burning bastard isn't that big, right?”he asked Sasha.
Sasha did not speak.
"You also use fire, say something!”Goodwin turned to ask Luo Shan.
Luo Shan did not say anything.
Thankfully, the Blasphemer used a fiery cannon to save Goodwin's face. This was a destructive magic attack that dyed the night sky white. The apostles hurriedly dodged. Then, the reserve troops of the Blasphemers took the opportunity to return to their positions, and all kinds of magic came crashing down again. Tino Taylor had wanted to put on a brave front, but in the end, he was beaten down the mountain within three rounds.
The other three apostles followed him down the mountain happily.
"Like I said, this is a military town. It won't be so easy to take down.”said Goodwin.
Tino Taylor looked at him coldly. Goodwin pretended not to see that glance.
"The enemy is unusually tenacious. At this time, what is the most important thing for us? It's unity." Goodwin gave a speech. "Let's design a strategy. Tino Taylor, you will charge in front, Sasha will support you from behind, and Luo Shan will provide cover fire. It's settled then."
This tactic was basically the same as the previous one. The only difference was that there was an additional Tino Taylor rushing in front to block the shots.
With the support of the Soul Imprint, Tino Taylor became even more ferocious. He rushed up the hill as if he was chopping melons and vegetables. Sasha spread her wings and followed him. Goodwin and Roshan almost caught up with him. Of course, on the mountaintop, they were bombarded by magic spells like raindrops.
They quickly recognized that the strongest enemy was a giant man with two heads. Its skin was red, and its body was similar to a human's. One of its heads was like a cow, and the other was like a leopard. It was the spellcaster of the incandescent energy attack. Tino Taylor took the lead and started fighting the two-headed monster.
The other three apostles were responsible for wiping out the remaining mages. Seeing this, the dynasty's army also began to attack, trying to use this gap to climb up the pass.
As more and more Blasphemer soldiers fell, Goodwin's Death Chasing Seal began to show its might. More and more 'dead' people were rolling like a snowball. The battle was beginning to tilt in favor of the Imperium's army.
Just as Goodwin was busy controlling the dead, a pitch-black flame came from afar and headed straight for Goodwin. Goodwin hurriedly sent the dead to block it, but Black Flame turned everything that blocked it into ashes. Goodwin dodged the black flames with great difficulty. Half of his body was burning in pain.
“IInsa，Wonielu。”Black Flame said.
It used Filthy Dolphin Language, but Goodwin understood. The memories of the deceased allowed him to understand the language of Blasphemers.
This sentence meant that he had finally made it.
The black flames dissipated, revealing a slender black figure.
"You are…the Dark Knight from before?”Goodwin remembered. He believed that the spell recognized the armor.
In the recent battle to defend the city, the Dark Knight's mud magic had caused Goodwin to suffer a lot. Later, he heard Regina say that the mud did not belong to the faction of " dark magic " but " dirty magic." As a sacred creature, Goodwin was resistant to dark magic, but he was restrained by filthy magic. As expected, clean things could not be seen dirty.
"The battle that we didn't finish last time, we'll continue this time.”Goodwin pulled out the Lightless Shining Moment from the void.
He waved his sword, and the light slashed into the sky. The Dark Knight lowered his head and dodged, stabbing his spear into Goodwin's lower abdomen.
Goodwin turned around and slashed at the Black Knight again. The Dark Knight used the handle of his spear to block the lightsaber. The handle of the spear was sturdy and was not cut by the light sword.
"Soul Seal." Goodwin increased his strength. The black knight was no match for him, and his spear fell to the ground.
Goodwin raised his sword and slashed at the Dark Knight's chin. The Dark Knight rolled and took the opportunity to get close to the spear that it had dropped. He reached out and picked it up.
"Weapon Control Seal." The spear on the ground suddenly turned around and stabbed at the Dark Knight. This attack was beyond its expectations, but it reacted quickly enough to dodge the stab and grab the gun in its hand.
It raised its gun and prepared to stab Goodwin again.
"Weapon Control Seal." Suddenly, a force pulled the spear away from the Dark Knight's hand from behind. Goodwin slashed down with his sword. The Dark Knight was unable to parry and was hit in the chest. The lightsaber failed to penetrate its armor, but it had clearly dealt it a heavy blow. The armor trembled and emitted black smoke.
"Is it magic armor?" Goodwin raised his sword and slashed again. The armor couldn't withstand this sword. He would kill it.
A large Blasphemer suddenly shouted and pounced over. Goodwin understood what it meant by " get out of the way."
The big guy pushed the Dark Knight away and caught Goodwin's sword with both hands.
Then, the armor on the big guy's body shattered into pieces in an instant. Flesh and blood couldn't block the sword of light. Its hands were cut off and its heart was pierced. It only blocked the lightsaber for 5 seconds.
However, these five seconds were enough for the Dark Knight to complete a chant. Mud figures kept popping up from the ground.
"This again…?"
These mud humanoids were very troublesome. Goodwin's lightsaber couldn't cut them, but they stuck to him instead. If he touched them, his skin would be corroded.
However, Goodwin had the Mark of Death.
The big guy stood up in his dead body and hugged the mud figures.
The Dark Knight shouted.
It should be saying," What are you doing?”
More and more dead people rushed over, each of them hugging a muddy human figure. Soon, Goodwin's dead had suppressed the Dark Knight's human form.
"You're still the same. But I'm not the same person as before.”Goodwin said to the Dark Knight. "Game over. You lost."
His body was as fast as lightning as he stabbed straight at the Dark Knight's heart.
At this moment, the entire mountain pass exploded.
"…What the hell?"
Tino Taylor and the two-headed monster were locked in a fierce battle. In the end, both sides used their trump cards. They each summoned a burst of energy. The two energies collided violently, blasting the ground under their feet into the sky.
Thus, everyone who was fighting was blasted into the sky.
Except for the soldiers of the Empire. They climbed the mountain slowly and did not have time to reach the top.
Goodwin flew into the distant sky. He wondered if he would become a star.
