Chapter 1068 - Holy Light City
Chapter 1068: Holy Light City
Abel left another city disappointed. He didn’t find any preachers, not even the knights that normally followed.
He sat in the operation room of his fort, and the druid soul began to locate the preachers again. This time he kept the analysis updated.
There were already 60 preacher guides in his crystal angel statue, and it was already the result of his speed.
He knew the Evil kingdom had noticed him as he came across knight formations from time to time. He even ran into one with 1000 holy knights.
However, that did not slow him down. As soon as he got a new target, he would repeat his moves and move on.
Abel missed his target 3 times ever since the holy light Kingdom realized they could not stop their attacker, so all he could do was keep trying.
A city-sized castle stood in the core of the kingdom, the holy light city. Surrounding it was a crystal shield guarding the palace.
The remaining 40 preachers were no longer looking as confident as they stood inside the palace. They were gathered there by force, and more than half of them were gone.
Still, they were determined despite a little pessimism.
Emperor Harvey looked at the preachers. They were his last hope. He could not take any more losses.
Maybe his attacker was the final card of the wizard union, maybe an old monster locked away for centuries, or a wizard from the Central Continent who traveled here long ago.
Through his speculation, this wizard must be at least rank 20. If not, it would not be able to kill a rank 19 holy knight.
“The murder of preachers is a great insult to my lord. I will send you all back once I’ve killed the invader!” Emperor Harvey banged his fist on his throne and yelled.
It was clear, the target of the attacker was the preachers.
The kingdom had to maintain a level of holy knights in the holy light city to ensure their safety.
He already sent out more than 1000 knights, and they were all killed.
He was about to face a powerful enemy. So he had gathered his forces as opposed to spreading them out.
The most powerful thing about knights was their formation. With 4000 holy knights, including almost 100 top-ranking elite holy knights, the most powerful formation in the Lance Continent was created.
The reason he gathered the 40 preachers in his palace was to lure the attacker.
With the most powerful formation of the continent, coming here would be suicide.
Emperor Harvey could not afford to lose any more preachers. Even if he killed the attacker, he might not have successfully spread his faith in 2 years.
He just hoped the Wizard Union would run into trouble during their journey and took 3 years instead.
The idea of his attacker coming straight from the Central Continent never even came across his mind. Even a legendary could not travel this fast without a super teleportation circle.
He also wouldn’t believe his attacker was a law-defying wizard. If he was, he would have shown himself already when they were taking down the wizard union.
“Majesty Harvey, we’ve fully opened the investigation network of the kingdom!” Any wizard who shows himself will not be able to escape!” Elite knight Kirk bowed.
“Forget it, I need to find the attacker in 10 days. Spread out the force and demand all family knights to investigate. Anyone who disobeys will be killed!” Emperor Harvey lowered his voice.
“Yes, your majesty!” knight Kirk bowed again.
They didn’t know their attacker was actually flying in the sky and did not interact with anyone other than the people he killed.
Locating Abel as an investigation network was impossible.
Still, those words from Emperor Harvey did not do anything to Abel. Abel has sneaked out to come here. Everyone in the Central Continent still thought he was in retreat.
He needed to protect the tree of life from the Holy Kingdom. Although his defense had increased a lot, he was still a little worried.
Time passed slowly on the battle fort, but when Abel saw his target appearing in the same location, a smile emerged on his face.
He traveled to more than 60 cities, which was almost half of the continent.
It took him 3 days of full concentration without rest.
But finally, he could take them down at once.
This would save him so much hassle.
“Fire Tooth, go to the target at full speed!” He yelled when he saw the 40 dots emerge.
The battle fort did a swirl in the sky and speeded towards Holy light city without a sound.
Abel didn’t know where he was going, but he was preparing for a bloody fight. If not, the kingdom would not have gathered all the preachers in one place.
He began to regret bringing Doff to the Lance Continent. His enemies were way too weak.
He took out the crown of his invisibility cape and placed it on his head. His power of the will range immediately doubled to 2000 meters. Unless a knight were granted something by the demon from beyond, everyone else would lose their motion in the face of the crystal angel statue.
It was how he took down 1000 knights so easily. Any ordinary man in his power of the will range would become a helpless goat.
In less than an hour, a huge city emerged in front of Abel.
It had one of those rare large-size protection circles, which was never seen before in the Lance Continent.
The Holy light kingdom had lived under the shadow of the wizard union for many years, so they would not take out a circle like that even if they had the materials to make them.
“Ah, a city protection circle!” Abel looked at the little palace in the center with a pair of sparkling eyes.
Still, those things were common in the Central Continent despite their rarity in the subcontinents.
Back in the day, Emperor Harvey sacrificed large amounts of wealth to carry this thing from the Central Continent to protect the holy armor.
“Fire Tooth, prepare the energy cannon!” Abel was too lazy even to attack himself.
“Headmaster, energy cannon ready!” The Fire Tooth spirit spoke out.
“Target the city protection circle and fire with full power!” Abel lowered his voice.
Afterward, 10 cannon heads reached out below the battle fort. Vicious energy began to gather, and beams of white light roared towards the crystal shield of the palace.
It was his first official attack with his battle fort.
But hundreds of shots have already been fired in less than 30 seconds. The crystal shield shattered into pieces, and Fire Tooth stopped its attack.
The hear piercing sound of siren erupted above the palace.
All the servants scattered in horror, but the knights remained still.
They formed a giant formation around the palace. They saw where the beams were coming, which meant they had located their enemy.
“Very brave of you to have the guts to attack the palace straight on!” Emperor Harvey roared.
His face looked grim. The attacks came from the sky, which meant the aura of the holy knights would be at a disadvantage.
“Are you Harvey?” Abel suddenly appeared with Frankenstein 10 meters away from him.
“You bastard. Where is your respect? How dare you address the king’s name without saying his majesty!” Knight Kirk yelled.
Although he knew these two wizards who appeared out of nowhere must be extremely strong, he would still not allow any disrespect to happen as someone who went through a high-standard knight training.
The way you address someone was significant, especially for a king. Addressing them as a great majesty during the first encounter was basic etiquette.
“Respect?” Abel couldn’t help but laugh in a mocking tone.
If he didn’t come to the Lance Continent and leave the business to the WIzard Union, their continent would have been destroyed.
The wizard union would not allow any followers of the demon from beyond in any of their continents. Since they could not tell them apart, the wizard union could only kill everyone in the Lance Continent after 2 years.
Considering the population of the Lance Continent, the wizard union could easily wipe out a city like a virus.
Emperor Harvey was the core of this matter. He did not deserve any respect.
“Harvey, you should have expected this day when you submitted to the demon from beyond!” Abel did not care about Knight Kirk, as he said coldly.
“Who are you?” Emperor Harvey knew something was wrong, so he lowered his voice.
Since Abel knew about the demon from beyond, it seemed like he was not from the Lance Continent.
“That doesn’t matter, but have you ever considered that every civilian in your kingdom killed because of your faith?” Abel followed coldly.
“It’s all worth it. Even if the entire world comes to an end, it is all worth it if my lord can return!” Emperor Harvey laughed frantically.
Abel was speechless. He felt like he was talking to an insane person.
“As for you, do you think you can leave here alive?” Emperor Harvey looked at Abel with a murderous look and continued, “I was a little worried at first when you were in the sky, but you had the guts to come into my palace!”
Emperor Harvey saw the knights were prepared, so he strengthened his tone.
Abel did not reply. Instead, he turned to the 40 preachers with a look of greed,
Each one of them represented a preacher guide, and 40 of them were right in front of him.
“Kill them all!” Abel’s voice sifted through the palace.
Under Emperor Harvey’s shocked gaze, countless arrows flew in from outside and killed all 40 preachers.
Their souls were then directed to Abel’s crystal angel statue by Izual.
However, the thing that made Emperor Harvey stunned was the holy force on the arrows.
