Chapter 551: The Ancient Ballad
In order to take down War Temple, Kant had prepared four siege logs.
When placing the four siege logs side by side, they were 12 meters wide.
As for the three-meter diameter siege logs, even if they were placed on the ground and placed side by side, the gap between them would allow Rhodok Sergeants to fight with his arms around his waist.
If 600 Rhodok Sergeants were to carry four siege logs into the tunnel, the distance between each siege log was only about half a meter. It was definitely not enough for a warhorse to pass through.
This difficult problem that had troubled Kant for half a day had been solved by Kant. Kant could not help but feel extremely happy.
"You want to attack my army?"
"Attack the log!"
Kant immediately began to give orders, "Pass down the order: 600 Rhodok Sergeants step out and divide into four teams of 150 people, each team carrying a piece of siege log. Enter the tunnel on the first floor of the guard hall side by side!"
"Humph! I want to see if you still want to charge or not?"
Very quickly, four pieces of siege logs with a diameter of 10 meters and a length of 10 meters were carried by 600 Rhodok Sergeants. They lined up and entered the tunnel, almost filling up the entire tunnel.
"All soldiers, listen up. Follow behind the siege logs and enter the War Temple!"
In the War Temple, the members of the fifth war knight order had already made up their minds to die.
For the God of War, Edmund, they were fearless in the face of death.
As long as they could help the God of War, Edmund, and cause his enemies to suffer heavy losses, they were willing to die.
At first, they saw that Kant's army, who had destroyed the gate of the guard hall of War Temple, they did not dare to step into the tunnel of the guard hall of War Temple. They could not help but admire the high priest who had thought of this strategy.
They even thought that Baron Kant's terrifying army would retreat just because they were guarding this end of the guard hall of War Temple.
But now, looking at the four siege logs that were like a wooden wall, the members of the fifth knight order felt a sense of despair in their hearts.
Do they still have to face death and charge?
Charge at the four siege logs and crash into them?
At this moment, the high priest of War Temple walked down from the second floor of War Temple.
She came to the front of the fifth knight order and said to the leader of the fifth war knight order, "Oracle: Surrender to Baron Kant!"
There was an indescribable sadness in her voice.
As her words fell, the red light that had enveloped the fifth war knight order slowly retreated into the main hall of War Temple.
"High priest!"
Suddenly, the commander of the fifth war knight order exclaimed.
The high priest of War Temple who was standing in front of him — the spokesperson of the God of War on the earth — suddenly had tears of blood flowing out of the corners of her eyes.
Blood-red flames were burning all over her body.
She was using the purest faith as fuel to ignite her own flames.
Amidst the blood-red flames, the high priest of the War Temple sang an ancient ballad.
The stars fell on the earth,
the ancient gods fell and died,
the traitors stolen the power,
the Heaven and Earth became a prison,

all of the struggles,
would be in vain,
the demons laughed in the abyss,
the world fell.
When the high priest finished singing the ancient ballad, the blood-red flames gradually burned her. When the wind blew, nothing was left.
Four siege logs were slowly carried out of the tunnel by 600 Rhodok Sergeants.
When Kant led his army out of the tunnel, they were not attacked at all, which made Kant very surprised.
He was very clear that these War Temple soldiers were determined to die, so why didn't they take the opportunity to attack them?
The charge in the tunnel was useless, but after they came out, these knights could still attack them.
"Rhodok Sergeants, carry the siege log to the aside!"
This siege log blocked the charge of the knights and blocked Kant's vision.
As the siege logs was carried to the two sides, a scene that Kant couldn't believe appeared in front of his eyes.
A thousand members of the war knight order who were originally riding warhorses dismounted at this moment and stood beside their warhorses.
A grand knight suddenly left the knight order formation and came before Kant's army.
He suddenly faced Kant, knelt on one knee, and said, "The fifth war knight order, surrender to the Honorable Lord Kant!"
Kant was at a loss. Why did the fifth war knight order suddenly surrender to him?
"Why did you surrender?" Kant sat on his warhorse and asked in a deep voice.
"This is an oracle!"
Oracle? Was this the will of the God of War himself?
Kant believed it.
These knights were all devout believers of the God of War. This could be seen from the fact that they were able to maintain high morale despite being at an absolute disadvantage. They were not afraid of dying and had to fight against Kant's army.
Kant was very clear that the God of War was in this War Temple. The system's mission was not given for free.
If the God of War was not in there, how could the system let Kant capture him?
"Baheshtur, send someone to disarm them. Send 100 Rhodok Sergeants to guard them. If there are any unusual movements, kill them without mercy!" Kant ordered directly.
"Yes, Lord!"
At this moment, 30 war priests and 200 reserve war priests came down from the second floor of the guard hall of War Temple. Because of the surrender of the war knights, the Ravenstern Rangers only pointed their arrows at them, but did not shoot.
"War Temple priest, surrender to the Honorable Lord Kant!"
Kant nodded and immediately agreed.
Needless to say, the war priest who was more pious than the members of the war knight order was willing to surrender because of the so-called oracle.
"Do you know where the God of War Is?"
Kant asked the priests of the God of War. If they knew, Kant would not have to search.
"We don't know. If it's the high priest, she should know."
"High priest?"
"Where is she?"
"The high priest is gone!"
Kant nodded and asked Baheshtur to send people to guard these priests and reserve priests.
Kant thought that of the 300 priests, only 30 were left. The high priest must have been shot to death.

Chapter 552: Encounters In the Divine Kingdom
After failing to find the main hall in the center of War Temple, Kant led his army to the west side of War Temple, in front of the mysterious temple with its back against the city wall.
This was a gothic-style building. On the walls on both sides of the temple's door, there were many lifelike reliefs.
The most amazing thing was that when Kant arrived in front of the temple, the closed door of the temple automatically opened.
What made Kant feel strange was that the temple that had opened the door was empty.
After a moment, a majestic red light flowed out from the opened door. This red light flowed on the ground as if it was laying a carpet to welcome Kant's arrival.
"Enter the formation!"
Kant did not care about the red light. No matter what kind of arena the god of war set up, Kant himself had a huge amount of power, so there was no need to be afraid.
Rhodok Sergeants were at the front, slowly entering the temple.
Kant and Baheshtur led the knights and mages, following closely behind.
Next were Rhodok Sharpshooters, Vaegir Marksmen, and the Ravenstern Rangers.
When Kant entered the temple, his view suddenly changed. He found that he was not in a palace, but in a wilderness.
"Is this an illusion? Or what?"
Kant thought in confusion.
Although the temple was huge, it was impossible to reach this level. This wilderness seemed to have a radius of four to five kilometers, which was much larger than the entire war temple. Further away, there was a red glow.
Kant got off the warhorse and pulled up a blade of grass on the ground.
The fresh green grass did not look fake at all. The soil at the roots of the grass had a unique wet smell.
A breeze blew out. Kant closed his eyes and felt the breeze. It felt very real.
"Could this be the divine kingdom of the God of War, Edmund?"
Kant thought in disbelief.
Kant knew a little about the divine kingdom. The divine kingdom rose high into the sky and turned into the stars in the sky. He had never heard of a divine kingdom on earth.
"Lord, look. There is a building ahead!"
At this moment, Baheshtur's words interrupted Kant's thoughts.
Kant looked in the direction Baheshtur was pointing. His strength was far stronger than Baheshtur's, so he could see it more clearly. It was a gathering place that looked like a village.
Many figures were walking in it. At the edge of the village, there were even some lambs eating the grass on the ground in the surrounding wilderness.
"Go and have a look!" Kant said.
Then Kant got back on his warhorse and ordered the troops to move towards the village.
The warhorse under him was running on the plain that looked like nature, and it seemed to be very happy. This once again confirmed that this was probably not an illusion.
The land was flat and covered with green grass, so the troops moved very fast.
After a while, Kant arrived at the edge of the village.
However, when Kant approached the village, a group of knights dressed like the war knight order suddenly rushed out of the village.
A man who was sleeping on the grass, who looked like a shepherd, woke up after the cavalry rushed out of the village.
As soon as he woke up, he saw Kant's army.
The shepherd roared "intruder" and a red light surged out of his body. The red light turned into his horse, the weapon in his hand, and the armor on his body.
In front of Kant, the shepherd instantly completed his "transformation" and became a knight. His strength had also changed from an ordinary person to a grand knight at the peak of strength.
Very quickly, this knight had joined the team that had charged out from the knight order of war.
There were close to a hundred people in this team, and all of them had the aura of peak grand knight. They were not any weaker than Kant's Swadian Royal Knight and Sarleon Lion Knight.
However, their numbers were too few. They were not enough.
Although they were powerful, they were nothing in Kant's eyes. Kant cared about the way they appeared.
If Kant's guess was right, these knights were all ordinary villagers.
It was very likely that they were like the man who herded the sheep. A red light surged out of their bodies, and they completed the transformation from an ordinary village to a powerful peak grand knight.
"Which noble's subordinates are you? We have already paid all the divine stones that we should have paid this month!"
At this moment, the knight at the front asked Kant and the others.
Noble?
Divine stones?
This should be the territory of the God of War. Why did they have to pay any noble stones to the noble?
These questions flashed through Kant's mind.
"I am Baron Kant! Let me ask you, what is this place? What is this divine stone you speak of?"
Kant directly opened his mouth and asked his questions.
If these people were willing to answer his questions, that would naturally be the best. If not, Kant did not care. He came here to find the God of War and to capture him.
"This is the domain of my god, the divine stone is…"
"Hm? You're an baron, how can you be so weak? Furthermore, my god did not send a decree to form an alliance with any Baron Kant."
"Looks like you guys are indeed invaders!"
As the knight spoke, his tone turned to anger.
"Knights, the domain of my god cannot be blasphemed, kill these invaders!"
The knight suddenly drew his knight sword and pointed it at Kant's army as he shouted.
"Kill these invaders!"
"Kill these invaders!"
Nearly a hundred peak grand knight soldiers shouted at the same time. Their aura was extremely terrifying.
Especially when Kant's army was so close to them.
However, their aura didn't have any impact on Kant's army's aura.
When the enemy was preparing to fight as if Kant and the others were "invaders" the battlefield automatically formed.
The "Glory. Bright Red Movement" on Kant's back began to shake violently, and a circle of red light spread out from the cloak, encompassing all of Kant's soldiers.
The "Glory. Bright Red Movement" passive special effect, the Bright Red Movement, was triggered, and all of Kant's soldiers' strength suddenly increased by 50%. At the same time, their morale began to rise slowly but steadily. The enemy's imposing manner did not have the slightest intimidation to them.
At this time, Kant had led his army to the outside of the village. These knights had rushed out of the village, so they were very close, only a dozen meters or so.

Chapter 553: More And More Enemies
At this distance, it wasn't suitable for knights to charge.
However, the dense formation was very suitable for Kant.
"Divine Domain" Kant whispered, and a circle of pure white light suddenly radiated from his body, this was a function of Divine Power, which was one of Kant's two extraordinary powers, the King's Power and the Divine Power.
This Divine Domain could greatly speed up the recovery speed of allies within the domain. It was very suitable for hand-to-hand combat like this.
"Rhodok Sharpshooter, Vaegir Marksmen, Ravenstern Rangers, fire!" Kant ordered in a rapid tone.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The sound of arrows piercing through the air rang out. The 350 Rhodok Sharpshooters, 350 Vaegir Marksmen, and 350 Ravenstern Rangers fiercely shot out the arrows in their hands. The arrows turned into a black shadow as they shot towards the 100 grand knights in bright red armor, the grand knights who held knight swords in their hands shot out.
However, the peak grand knights were really not easy to deal with.
A thick red light suddenly burst out from the bodies of the 100 peak grand knights. The knight swords in their hands danced like a fan that wind could not penetrate through.
Whether it was Vaegir Marksmen's arrows or Ravenstern Rangers' arrows, they were all blocked by these 100 peak grand knights.
However, even if a peak grand knight was exceptionally powerful, being bombarded by Rhodok Sharpshooters' crossbows at a distance of 30 meters, they would definitely not be unharmed.
Especially when each peak grand knight faced more than one crossbow.
One hundred peak grand knights were instantly killed by Rhodok Sharpshooters' crossbow.
The remaining 60 plus peak grand knights were all injured.
"Hateful invaders! Kill them!"
The leader of the group had already been killed by Rhodok Sharpshooters, and one of the peak grand knights roared out in rage.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The rage of the peak grand knights grew even more intense.
They quickly charged towards Rhodok Sergeants at the front of Kant's troop.
The knight sword in the hands of the 60 plus grand knights glowed with a thick red light, as they slashed down viciously at the shields that Rhdok Sergeants were holding.
"Kacha!"
With the strength of a grand knight, a single slash could split the shield in the left hand of 60 Rhodok Sergeants.
But they had come to an end.
Rhodok Sergeants were in a dense formation.
These peak grand knights were riding on horses. Although they were able to split Rhodok Sergeants with their two-meter-long knight swords, they were still able to do so. However, each peak grand knight was obviously not facing a single Rhodok Sergeant.
Their knight sword brought with it a rich red light as it split the broad shields of Rhodok Sergeants. Immediately, a new broad shield blocked it.
At the same time, the hooks and sickles that the Rhodok Sergeants held in their right hands were definitely not scary.
They were designed to deal with knights.
Rhodok Sergeant was only a level 5 troop class, but they could be said to be the strongest level 5 troop class. This was because every Rhodok Sergeants had extremely high combat skills and could contend with a level 6 troop class.
At this moment, their strength had been strengthened by 50% once again on top of their original foundation under the passive effect of the Bright Red Movement. Their strength was no longer inferior to an ordinary grand knight.
Although the enemy were peak grand knights, each of them was not facing a Rhodok Sergeant.
After the enemy's peak grand knight broke one of the Rhodok Sergeants' broad shields, the strength of their swords was no longer enough to break the second broad shield.
At the same time, every opposing peak grand knight was attacked by five or six long-handled hooks.
Five or six long-handled hooks were like the scythe of the grim reaper, aiming at the neck of the peak grand knight.
These peak grand knights were indeed powerful, but facing the siege of the powerful Rhodok Sergeants, they could only end up in a miserable state.
Five or six Rhodok Sergeants fiercely pulled at the long sickles that were already in place. Immediately, fresh blood splattered everywhere, and a peak grand knight died.
The battle started very suddenly, but it also ended abruptly.
A hundred peak grand knights launched an attack, and they immediately met with the rain of arrows from Kant's army, losing more than thirty people.
They continued to charge, only launching one round of attacks, and then all of them were directly killed by Rhodok Sergeants.
However, they only managed to break 60 or so of Rhodok Sergeants' broad shields.
This battle was short, but it was tragic.
Kant's troop did not lose a single person.
The enemy was not weak, there was a hundred peak grand knights.
This was definitely a great result.
However, Kant was not happy.
This was because the corpses of the peak grand knights that died from the attacks turned into a ball of red light and disappeared after they fell to the ground.
There was nothing left on the ground.
There were no corpses, no warhorse, no weapons, no armor, not even blood.
At the same time, another group of knights rushed out of the village.
There were still a hundred of them.
Kant saw clearly that the person at the front was the one who had talked to him just now.
In this way, the one-sided victory just now was like a mirage and did not achieve any results.
These people who had already been killed once again blocked in front of Kant's troop.
However, it was not without results.
The strength of the 100 people on the other side was not at the peak level grand knight, but only at the high-level grand knight.
Their strength directly decreased by a large chunk.
When the enemy appeared again, Kant had already given a decisive order
"Rhodok Sharpshooters, Vaegir Marksmen, Ravenstern Rangers, fire!"
Hmph!
Kant's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, 'You can revive after you die? Then I'll let you die until you're as weak as a level 1 troop class.'
This time, the archers fired in unison, and the results were much better than before. Fifty grand knights were killed out of a hundred of them in an instant.
Only 40 remained to charge at the defensive formation formed by Rhodok Sergeants.
This time, they broke more than 40 broad shields.
More than 100 high-level grand knights were wiped out once again.
Just like before, there were no spoils of war.
Then, these guys had come back to life again.
They charged out of the village for the third time. This time, their strength was all at the middle-level grand knights.
When they appeared for the second time, Kant had already let the Swadian Royal Knights charge out from the side.
The Swadian Royal Knights who were the peak grand knights could kill these middle-level grand knights as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs after their strength had been strengthened. Kant did not even want to continue losing his broad shield.
The enemy was completely wiped out for the third time. As expected, they rushed out from the village for the fourth time.
This was when Baheshtur suddenly said to Kant,
"Lord, the appearance of these people seems to be exactly the same as the reliefs on the walls on both sides of the temple we entered!"

Chapter 554: The God In the Village
When Kant heard Baheshtur's words, he carefully looked at the army that had been reduced to the initial stage of the grand knight and had rushed out of the village for the fourth time.
Kant had only roughly glanced at the relief sculptures on both sides of the temple at that time, but Kant's memory was very good. He had some faint memories on some special-looking faces.
Now that he looked carefully, and with the reminder of Baheshtur's words, he indeed found that among the troops that rushed out of the village, there were a few grand knights with unique features. They looked exactly the same as the relief sculptures on the walls on both sides of the temple gate that came in.
"What's going on?" Kant frowned slightly and asked Baheshtur with some doubt. He was the first to discover this point, and perhaps he would have his own opinion.
Baheshtur shook his head and said respectfully, "Lord, I'm not sure about this either. Lord, why don't you ask the mages. They should be more thorough in their research on extraordinary powers."
The Swadian Royal Knights charged forward and quickly killed the hundred enemy soldiers who had just charged out with the strength of the grand knights.
As expected, the corpses of these people who had been killed turned into a red light and disappeared once again.
Then, they charged out from the village for the fifth time. This time, their strength was only at the peak of the official knights.
Kant called over a mage, he asked, "These knights who charged out from the village have never died. Their appearances are exactly the same as the relief sculptures on the walls of the hall before we entered. Do you know what's going on?"
The mage thought carefully for a moment and said to Kant hesitantly, "We mages study the profound truth. Power comes from the insight into the truth of the world. It's a completely different field from the clergy."
Kant heard the mage's words and was very disappointed. "So, you don't know what's going on?"
The mage nodded and shook his head. He said to Kant in an uncertain tone, "Lord, I don't dare to answer you with certainty. This situation is somewhat similar to what I know."
Kant's eyes lit up slightly. He was confused about these people who could be resurrected even after they died. He asked the mage in a somewhat hurried tone, "What situation?"
The mage glanced at the official knights who were easily killed by the Swadian Royal Knights, he said respectfully to Kant, "Lord, these people who can be resurrected from the dead are very much like a clergyman — holy spirit."
"holy spirit?"
"Yes, holy spirit?"
Kant had never heard of this term. He only knew about priests and pastors. There were also ascetics in some churches, but he had never heard of the holy spirit.
"What is the holy spirit?" Kant's tone was filled with curiosity. To be able to come back from the dead, this ability was simply too abnormal.
"It is said that the holy spirit is the most devout believer of the gods. It was personally brought to the Divine Kingdom by the gods to change jobs. It can directly use the power of faith and is the most powerful force in the hands of the gods." The mage paused then continued, "If it is in the Divine Kingdom of the gods, the holy spirit is an immortal existence. Even if the gods sent it out of the Divine Kingdom, the fallen holy spirit can still be resurrected in the Divine Kingdom of the gods."
Kant heard the mage's explanation and nodded. These people who had never died were somewhat similar to the mage when he spoke of the holy spirit.
However, the God of War, Edmund, did not ascend the Divine Kingdom.
Otherwise, such a major event would definitely be recorded.
Kant thought so and asked the wizard, "Do you know what the Divine Kingdom Is?"
The mage respectfully said to Kant, "Lord, the Divine Realm is a demiplane that was created when the gods did not have the ability to ascend the Divine Kingdom. It is the predecessor of the Divine Kingdom."
"No wonder!" Kant nodded.
These people who kept dying and resurrecting were most likely the holy spirits of the God of War, Edmund.
When they had asked the priests and knights of the War Temple who had surrendered, they had said that only the most devout believers of the God of War were qualified to enter the temple where they had entered.
This was very suitable for the holy spirit's job transition.
The God of War had been a god for 7,000 years, but he had only accumulated 100 holy spirits in this Divine Realm. It could be seen how devout the faith of the holy spirit before the job transition was.
Kant looked at the army who had died and resurrected again and continued to ask the mage, "Is there any way to completely kill the holy spirit?"
The mage's tone was solemn as he replied, "Lord, if you want to completely kill the holy spirit, there's only one way!"
"What way?" Kant's tone was slightly excited as he asked. Although these guys were getting weaker and weaker, they kept resurrecting, and directly blocked the entrance of the village, preventing his troop from entering to search.
The mage's expression became solemn, and his tone was very heavy, "Slaughter the god!"
Uh…
Kant was helpless when he heard this answer. It was precisely because these guys had been blocking the entrance that his army could not enter and search for the whereabouts of the God of War.
They had no choice but to kill these guys over and over again. Looking at the situation, their strength had been decreasing, and there would come a time when they would be reduced to the strength of ordinary people. At that time, Kant wanted to see if they could continue to be revived.
The slaughter continued. These holy spirits of the God of War died and were revived again and again, but their strength continued to fall.
High-level official knight — middle-level official knight — low-level official knight — peak knight attendant…
Until they were killed again when their strength was low-level knight Squire, they finally did not rush out of this small village.
Just as Kant was about to lead his troop into the village to conduct a search, the earth suddenly shook.
A majestic red light soared into the sky from the village, and an extremely powerful pressure burst out from the village, fiercely pressing down on Kant and his army.
After the red light dispersed, a majestic red figure standing ten meters tall appeared in the village.
His body was too tall, and his upper body completely exceeded the height of the village.
When Kant saw the face of the red giant, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The God of War — Edmund!"
The appearance of this red giant was exactly the same as the God of War, Edmund's statue in the main hall of War Temple. However, compared to his statue, this guy was obviously much bigger.
"Baron Kant…"
The ten-meter-tall giant, the God of War, Edmund, suddenly spoke. His voice was as loud as thunder and turned into a huge sound wave that attacked Kant and his troop.
If it was an ordinary army facing such a huge monster, these earth-shattering words would probably cause the soldiers' hearts to be filled with fear, causing their morale to drop crazily.
However, Kant and his troops remained unmoved, waiting for the battle.
One of the components of Kant's extraordinary equipment set was the cape, "Glory. Bright Red Movement". Even when facing the God of War, its effect did not weaken at all. The entire army's morale was extremely high.
The battle with the 100 holy spirits had already raised Kant's army's morale to its peak status.
Kant said with a serious expression, "Listen up, everyone, maintain a firm formation and slowly retreat!"
Kant did this not because he saw that the God of War's body was too huge and was planning to retreat.
He was just clearing the battlefield for the upcoming battle.
At this time, the cloak on his back was still rattling. This proved that this was still a battlefield.
When the ten-meter-tall God of War appeared, they did not immediately start a war. Instead, they spoke. However, Kant was certain that there would definitely be a battle between them.
The ten-meter-tall God of War, Edmund, quietly watched Kant's troops retreat a hundred meters away. Then, he suddenly jumped out of the village, causing the ground to tremble.
"Roar…"
The 10-meter-tall God of War, Edmund, suddenly roared towards the sky.
Boundless red light suddenly appeared from his body.
Just like the previous holy spirits, the God of War, Edmund, also underwent a transformation.
The God of War, Edmund, suddenly had a blood-red armor on his body. A terrifying warhorse that was 10 meters tall also appeared beneath him, and the warhorse was covered in heavy armor.
The God of War was riding on the horse. It was no less than fifteen meters tall and looked extremely terrifying.
A twenty-meter-long lance appeared in the hand of the God of War, Edmund. Kant's scalp went numb when he saw it.
The God of War shook the reins of the horse. The warhorse that was ten meters tall suddenly raised its front hooves and almost stood up. The neighing sound of the horse was like rolling thunder, deafening.
Boom!
The front hooves of the warhorse stomped on the ground, and the earth shook violently again.
The God of War pointed his lance at Kant and spoke again with a voice like thunder, "Baron Kant…"
The God of War, Edmund's exaggerated figure, coupled with the warhorse beneath him, made Kant worried.
With the power of the God of War Edmund, could he really rely on these armies to resist and capture him?
Kant didn't know what the God of War, Edmund, was going to say first. Seeing him call his name for the second time, he immediately said, "God of War, Edmund, what do you have to say?"
"Why is your target me, the God of War? Among the gods, am I, Edmund, weak and easy to bully?"
Kant didn't quite understand the meaning of the God of War's words. It seemed that the God of War, Edmund, had long thought that Kant's target was him.
This would explain why War Temple had sent all its forces to weaken Kant's army.
If they weakened Kant a little more, the God of War would have to face fewer Kant's army. From this point, it seemed that the God of War was also afraid of Kant's strength.
Kant frowned slightly at Edmund's words. He wanted to deal with Edmund because of the system's main quest. He did not believe that Edmund, as a god, would submit to him.
However, Kant would not tell Edmund this reason.
After a moment, Kant circulated his extraordinary power and said with a thunderous voice, "At this point, it's useless to say anything more. It's just a battle!"
Even though the God of War's aura was majestic, and he was fifteen meters tall with his warhorse, so what?
Kant was initially shocked by the God of War, Edmund, but after carefully sensing Edmund's strength, he was certain that he had overestimated his strength.
Although the God of War, Edmund, was tall and had a terrifying aura, his aura was completely unable to contend with the aura of Kant's entire troop.
It was not as if Kant had never seen someone with such strength before.
Just yesterday, when Kant led his army to attack the east city gate of Lionheart City, a man named Tyr. Isai. Maud who led 50 extraordinary knights and met him once.
Tyr. Isai. Maud's aura was even stronger than that of the God of War Edmund.
The God of War, Edmund's strength was only on par with one of the 50 extraordinary knights.
Although compared to them, the God of War, Edmund's physique was too huge and terrifying, his aura would not lie. Edmund's strength was indeed on par with any one of the 50 extraordinary knights.
This discovery made Kant heave a sigh of relief. After all, the God of War, Edmund, might just be a paper tiger. He only looked like he was bluffing.
But Tyr. Isai. Maud's strength shocked Kant.
The strength of the 50 extraordinary knights he led was actually comparable to that of the God of War, Edmund. Such a thing was too unbelievable. Was the strength of a noble that strong?
The noble and the church were in a balance in the human countries. The noble was stronger than the church, but they did not have a crushing advantage. Could all of this be an illusion?
After answering the God of War, Edmund's question, Kant immediately said in a deep voice, "Mages, listen to my orders. Directly use Nature Summon and summon the golem to the vicinity of the God of War, Edmund. Surround the God of War with the golem and attack it at the same time!"
"Rhodok Sharpshooter, listen to my orders. Target the knee joint of the left foreleg of the warhorse under the God of War, Edmund. Shoot it down!"
A warhorse that was ten meters tall looked too terrifying. It was also because of its size that its knee had become the size of a round table with a diameter of one meter. It was very easy to aim at.
Although the aura of the God of War, Edmund, was only equivalent to that of an ordinary extraordinary knight, which shocked Kant. Kant had seen how powerful an extraordinary knight could be. He did not dare to be careless.
Therefore, Kant did not dare to charge at the God of War, Edmund, on his ten-meter-tall warhorse. Kant was not sure if his troop would be able to withstand the charge of the God of War, Edmund, on such a terrifying warhorse.
Not to mention anything else, just based on their size, this was a very terrifying power.

Chapter 555: War Against God
Rhodok Sharpshooters heard Kant's order and instantly fired the siege crossbows in their hands at the same time.
Whoosh!
350 thick and long crossbow arrows, accompanied by an explosive sound, shot toward the knee of the left front leg of the warhorse that Edmund was sitting on.
At a distance of 70 to 80 meters, the power of the siege crossbow arrows was extremely terrifying. It was not difficult to pierce through gold and crack rocks.
There was no doubt about the accuracy of Rhodok Sharpshooters. The 350 thick and long crossbow arrows gradually converged in the air and shot towards a spot.
"Roar!"
The God of War suddenly roared loudly. His voice was as loud as thunder.
All of a sudden, a huge red-light shield appeared in front of the God of War.
Kant's eyes focused. "This is an instant-cast spell? No, it should be an instant-cast divine spell!"
Bang!
An explosive sound rang out, and 350 siege crossbows that had been fused together suddenly struck the red-light shield. The light shield was extremely mystical. At the spot that had been struck by the crossbow bolts, a strong red light suddenly erupted, and the red light at the other parts of the light shield greatly weakened, almost becoming colorless.
"This Divine Spell Light Shield is so flexible. Not only is its defensive area extremely large, but it can also focus on its defensive power on a spot?"
Just by using the Divine Spell Light Shield, Kant had witnessed the God of War's terrifying power.
Kacha!
An extremely clear cracking sound spread throughout the entire Divine Realm. Even though Edmund's Divine Spell Light Shield was incomparably mystical, the 350 Rhodok Sharpshooters using siege crossbows fired arrows in unison. The power was absolutely terrifying, unrivaled.
Rhodok Sharpshooters were the troop class with the most terrifying attack power. The powerful crossbows they fired through siege crossbows were comparable to the strongest attack a mid-level grand knight could unleash with all his extraordinary power within a distance of 50 meters. Within a distance of 100 meters, it was also comparable to the strongest attack a low-level grand knight could unleash with all his extraordinary power.
The 350 siege crossbows combined together were extremely terrifying. Even the Divine Spell Light Shield released by the God of War, Edmund, could not withstand their terrifying power and was instantly destroyed.
Whoosh…
The 350 arrows released by the siege crossbows destroyed the Divine Spell Light Shield released by Edmund. Their speed was reduced by almost half, but they still shot at the left front knee of the warhorse of Edmund.
The warhorse neighed in pain.
However, these arrows were blocked by the Divine Spell Light Shield of Edmund and consumed most of its strength. Therefore, the arrows only hit the left front knee of the warhorse. They did not shatter the kneecap of the warhorse. It did not affect the galloping of the warhorse.
"Lord, look at the God of War and his warhorse. Their bodies have shrunk!"
Baheshtur suddenly reminded Kant. In such a battlefield, Kant had taken the initiative to take over the command. Baheshtur's combat strength was limited, so all his attention was on observing the battlefield, he was dutifully filling Kant's gaps. If Kant's orders were inappropriate, he would directly advise him.
Kant heard Baheshtur's reminder and looked up. As expected, the God of War, who was originally 15 meters tall and riding on a warhorse, was now only 14.67 meters tall.
Moreover, his height was slowly decreasing at a visible speed.
At this time, the mages had already listened to Kant's order and cast the Nature Summon Spell. Twenty-five hundred golems were summoned. They surrounded the four legs of Edmund's warhorse. These four legs were like pillars. There were more than ten golems stuck close to each leg of the warhorse. They were constantly bombarding the horse's legs. There were also more than twenty golems surrounding nearby the horse's legs. They were also bombarding the horse's legs continuously.
The warhorse under the God of War was bombarded by more than 120 golems at the same time.
"Is it because of the attacks that the warhorse's body is reduced? Or does it naturally decrease as time passes?"
Kant thought to himself.
The God of War was surrounded by waves of golems. Every time the warhorse under him raised its hooves, it was constantly blocked by the golems. It was difficult for it to truly run.
Although the golems and the Edmund's warhorse were very different in size, the golem's strength and weight were not small, effectively blocking the warhorse's galloping.
"Hmph!"
The God of War snorted, and the loud sound reverberated.
He raised the twenty-meter-long lance in his hand, and ruthlessly swept it at the golems on the ground. The momentum and power of the attack were extremely terrifying.
Kant immediately ordered, "Mages, listen up. Cast a spell on the God of War, Edmund — Deadly Deep Freeze!"
Deadly Deep Freeze: Cast a cold ray with a range of 100 meters. Upon contact with the enemy, the ray will explode and turn the area of 50 meters 50 meters into a low temperature of -50 degree Celsius. It will cause ice damage to the enemy and damage the weapons and armor. If they were lucky, it can also freeze the enemy to death.
Every mage could release three Deadly Deep Freeze spells per day.
Upon hearing the order, the 500 mages immediately began to chant spells. After a moment, white rays emitting an extreme cold aura shot towards the God of War, Edmund, who was seventy to eighty meters away.
While the mages were chanting spells, Edmund's heavy knight lance, which was twenty meters long, carried a sharp whistling sound as it ruthlessly swept across the densely packed golems on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The God of War's lance exploded with an extremely intense red light, continuously blowing up the golems. However, as the lance advanced, the red light on his lance quickly dimmed, and the speed of the lance also rapidly decreased.
The God of War, Edmund, blew up more than 200 golems in one shot.
If he were to attack more than a dozen times, these golems would probably be completely destroyed by him.
"Lord, look, the God of War's body has become smaller!"
Kant looked carefully. The God of War's body, which was 14.6 meters tall, was now only 14.4 meters tall with the warhorse's body.
At this moment, 500 white, blurry, and deadly cold rays shot onto Edmund's body. The blood-red armor on Edmund's body had a hint of ice blue color on its surface. At the same time, tiny ice crystals appeared, this was the moisture in the air. It was instantly frozen and attached to the armor on the God of War's body.
With the God of War as the center, the area within 50 50 meters had completely turned into a deep-cold environment of -50 degrees. This was not an ordinary deep-cold environment. This was a deep-cold environment caused by the combination of 500 Deadly Deep Freeze rays. Waves of deep-cold damage were released, compared to the deep-cold environment created by a single Deadly Deep Freeze spell, the lethality was 500 times higher.
The God of War instantly encountered an extremely terrifying and dense cold current. He and the warhorse beneath him became extremely slow. Their movements were also becoming slower and slower. It seemed like they were about to be frozen.
The God of War's figure was also rapidly becoming smaller.
After experiencing all of this, Kant completely understood that if the God of War used his extraordinary power to attack or was injured, his huge body would shrink.
After understanding this point, Kant's worry about the God of War's huge body dropped by half.
In the deep cold environment, the God of War was struck by waves of cold current. After being injured by the cold current, his body rapidly shrank.
14.45 meters — 14.34 meters — 14.23 meters…
In a short moment, the God of War's body and the warhorse beneath him had shrunk to 13.67 meters.
At this moment, the God of War's body suddenly erupted with an intense red light. This red light was like a trapped beast. It slowly flowed out of the God of War's body and spread-out inch by inch. As this red light spread out, the deep cold environment around him was also destroyed inch by inch.
It could be seen that the deep cold environment formed by the Deadly Deep Freeze spell cast by 500 mages was extremely difficult to dispel even with the power of the God of War.
At the same time, Edmund's figure was much faster than when it was hit by the cold current and the ice damage.
At this moment, Kant gave another order, "Rhodok Sharpshooters, Vaegir Marksmen, and the Ravenstern Rangers, fire at the left knee of the warhorse under the God of War!"
Previously, Kant had calculated that a single shot from Rhodok Sharpshooters could break the warhorse under the God of War, so he did not use the other two types of archers. However, after witnessing the divine spell of the God of War, Kant ordered all three types of archers to attack.
He wanted to break one of the warhorse's legs.
Without the warhorse, Edmund's mobility would be affected. For Kant and the others, it would be too easy to deal with!
Although the Edmund's figure was shrinking, it was still too huge. Kant was determined to destroy his ability to run.
After hearing Kant's order, the 1,050 archers quickly fired all the arrows they had prepared. The sound of thousands of arrows piercing through the air came together with a deafening sound.
A black rain of arrows shot toward the knee of the warhorse's left front leg, which was the size of a round table.
This time, the God of War, who was trying his best to use his extraordinary power — the Divine Power of War, which destroyed the deep cold environment around him, did not use the Divine Spell Light Shield to block the arrows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of arrows struck the knee of the warhorse's left front leg under the God of War. It caused an extremely loud noise.
Crack, crack!
Following that was the sound of bones breaking.
However, this time, the warhorse under the God of War did not let out a mournful cry because its leg was still in the deep cold environment. Even if its knee bone was broken, the pain was immediately frozen, it did not transmit to the warhorse's head.
Immediately after, Kant gave the order.
"Mage, listen up: Cast any spells, target the God of War and his warhorse! Archers, listen up: Shoot freely, target the God of War and his warhorse!"
The strategic goal of breaking the Warhorse's legs under Edmund to restrict his mobility had been achieved. Next, they could use the enormous God of War as a huge target, all they needed to do was to keep the long-range forces attacking in unison.
At this moment, the God of War just happened to completely destroy the deep cold environment that enveloped his body and the warhorse.
Neigh…
At this moment, the warhorse under him suddenly let out a painful cry. Then, his left front leg suddenly kneeled on the ground, unable to move.
At this moment, the height of Edmund combined with his warhorse under were only 12 meters tall. The God of War and the warhorse were only eight meters tall.
At the same time, arrows and all kinds of powerful spells bombarded the God of War.
Magic balls, fireballs, summoning lightning, Deadly Deep Freeze. These powerful spells bombarded the God of War.
This time, 200 mage apprentices launched magic balls and fireballs. They only knew these two offensive spells.
The warhorse under the God of War kneeled on the ground, allowing more golems to attack in unison. Hundreds of golems instantly bombarded the warhorse.
The God of War and his warhorse were shrinking at a visible speed. The speed of shrinking was so fast that even Kant was shocked. They were shrinking by half meter at one time.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The God of War suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar in the midst of the flood-like attacks.
There was extreme sadness in this roar, like the sigh of a hero at the end of his life.
The entire world shook, and countless red lights gathered toward the God of War from the borders of this world, from any place in this world.
This world began to shake violently. Distorted scenes began to appear in this world.
This was the God of War's Divine Realm. The power of the God of War was everywhere.
Now, the God of War was retracting this power back to his own body.
As the God of War roared, a huge light shield lit up around the body of the God of War. This light shield was incomparably sturdy, and its defensive ability was extraordinarily powerful. It completely isolated all arrows and spells, even the golems that gathered under the warhorse was pushed far away.
Countless red lights gathered on the body of the God of War, and his body did not continue to shrink.
The world began to flicker, and strange distorted scenes appeared continuously. Kant quickly determined that those scenes were the scenes that he had seen when he entered the palace of this world. Before Kant entered the temple, he had seen it from the gate.
As the red light gathered, the aura of the God of War kept increasing.
"Baron Kant…" the God of War suddenly roared, "I want you to die!"
As the God of War roared, the world's flickering became more and more intense.
An extremely dazzling red light exploded from the God of War's body. The red light flowed along the God of War's arm and completely flowed into the lance of the knight in the God of War's hand.
"Holy spirit, come!" The God of War roared angrily. Over a hundred transparent phantoms instantly flew up from the village behind the God of War and rushed into the twenty-meter-long knight lance in his hand.
"Divine Fire, rise!" As the holy spirit entered the knight lance, the God of War roared again. The twenty-meter-long knight lance suddenly erupted with raging blood-red flames.
"Divine Realm, condense!" the God of War roared once more. The entire world suddenly shattered, turning into a ball of intense red light that shot into the lance his hand.
Everyone appeared in the temple in War Temple.
"Holy spirit as the guidance, Divine Realm as the foundation, Divine Fire the gods, Divine Spell. Spear of Faith!"
The God of War roared and threw the 20-meter-long lance in his hand, which was bursting with dazzling red divine light, at Kant like a pilum!
"I don't believe that a spear that gathers all my strength will not be able to break the predestined fate!"
The God of War threw out a spear, and his body suddenly shrunk to the size of an ordinary person. His roar was filled with endless anger and unwillingness.

Chapter 556: The Falling of the God of War
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Kant looked at the God of War, Edmund, he was shocked. At this moment, the God of War, Edmund's aura was constantly rising, rising.
It rose to an unbelievable level. At this moment, the God of War, Edmund, had a terrifying aura that was comparable to the aura of all of Kant's troops. This also meant that the attack that Edmund was about to launch would be extremely terrifying.
According to the God of War, Edmund's attack was aimed at Kant.
The God of War, Edmund, wanted to kill him, Kant.
The twenty-meter-long lance that was emitting a blood-red divine light and burning with blood-red flames. It was basically a blood-red sun, extremely dazzling. Any attack that aimed at the lance, be it arrows or spells, were destroyed and disappeared.
.
The twenty-meter-long lance was shot out by Edmund. It spun violently and turned into a blood-red light. In an instant, it passed through the distance of almost a hundred meters between Edmund and Kant.
This was the spear shot out by Edmund from above. Its speed was extremely fast. Kant's troops could not defend him at all. Kant could only rely on himself.
"Can I block such a terrifying attack?"
Kant's amber eyes contracted violently.
Golden and pure white light twined around Kant's body. This was Kant's extraordinary power — King's Power and Divine Power erupted at the same time.
At this moment, Kant was very powerful. With two kinds of extraordinary powers, Kant far surpassed ordinary peak grand knights. However, compared to extraordinary knights, there was a huge gap.
Furthermore, this move of Edmund had gathered almost all of his power. Compared to the power of the 20-meter-long lance, the gap between Kant's power and the power of the lance was extremely huge.
It was impossible to block it! Kant could clearly make such a decision.
Boom!
The 20-meter-long lance fiercely struck Kant's body.
At this moment, an emerald-green barrier suddenly rose from Kant's body. This emerald-green barrier looked very thin, compared to the brilliant blood-red divine light on the 20-meter-long lance and the blazing blood-red divine fire, there was an extremely strong contrast.
At this moment, all of Kant's subordinates were looking at Kant. Their eyes were filled with despair. They had even stopped attacking the God of War, Edmund. If anything happened to Kant, what was the point of defeating the God of War, Edmund?
Their existence depended on their Lord Kant.
And the God of War had returned to his normal human form. His eyes were filled with eagerness as he looked at the 20-meter-long lance that he had placed high hopes on. When he saw that there was only a thin layer of emerald-green barrier on Kant's body, he instantly felt extremely happy.
He would definitely be able to break the prophecy and his tragic fate!
The eyes of the God of War shone. He wanted to personally witness this moment and witness the death of Baron Kant.
However, what Edmund saw made him extremely incredulous.
"This is impossible!"
Edmund roared angrily and unwillingly. Even though his body had returned to the size of an ordinary person, he was still a true god. His strength was still equivalent to that of an extraordinary knight. He activated the roar of the God of War's power. It was almost the same as when he was ten meters tall.
This roar directly shook the palace in the War Temple, causing it to tremble slightly. The voice even flowed out from the open door of the palace, allowing the entire Lionheart City to hear it.
In Lionheart City, other than the people from other countries, almost everyone believed in the God of War, Edmund heard it. When they heard the roar of the God of War, their expressions changed. This was because when this voice entered their ears, they immediately knew, the voice came from the God of War, Edmund.
The voice that spread throughout Lionheart City was like a miracle.
But everyone could hear the anger and unwillingness in the voice of the God of War, Edmund.
Why did the god they believed in Roar so angrily? The believers of the God of War in Lionheart City were terrified. They started to pray, hoping that the god they believed in could calm down their anger.
However, the God of War, could not calm his anger.
Even though he was a god, he still could not believe what was happening in front of his eyes.
The 20-meter-long knight lance was extremely terrifying. It had a diameter of almost one meter. It exploded with bright divine light and blazing divine fire. It hit Kant's body. Strictly speaking, it hit the thin layer of emerald-green barrier in front of Kant.
Edmund thought that Baron Kant, with his weak strength, would immediately be blasted into pieces by this attack. At the same time, his body and soul would be ignited by the divine fire on his lance, Kant would be burnt into nothing.
However, the actual situation was that his 20-meter-long lance crashed into the emerald-green barrier on Kant's body. Kant was not shaken at all.
The emerald-green barrier instantly erupted with an extremely resplendent green light, completely enveloping the entire 20-meter-long lance. Within this green light, the blood-red dazzling divine light on his lance of knights and the blazing divine fire began to dim.
And that green light, as if it had received a great tonic, became even purer.
In the end, the dazzling divine light and blazing divine fire on the 20-meter-long knight lance were completely extinguished. The lance returned to its original appearance. It looked like an ordinary blood-red lance that had been magnified many times.
"Ah…"
At this moment, the holy spirits of the God of War, Edmund, emerged from the lance. They soaked themselves in the green light and let out miserable howls of pain, as if they were suffering from an extremely terrifying punishment.
After a moment, the 100 holy spirits of the God of War disappeared just like the divine light and divine fire on the 20-meter-long lance.
At this moment, the 20-meter-long lance began to shrink.
This lance was formed by the God of War with his Divine Power of War. At this moment, it was also mercilessly devoured by the green light.
The speed of the devouring was extremely fast. In just a moment, the 20-meter-long lance had disappeared.
At this moment, the green light had completely retracted back into the green barrier that covered Kant's body. The green barrier instantly retracted back into the emerald necklace that Kant wore around his neck.
Only a small part of the necklace was exposed around Kant's neck. The rest was covered by Kant's clothes and armor.
Not only was Edmund in disbelief at this scene, but many of Kant's soldiers were also extremely excited. Even Kant himself was very surprised.
"This 'Glory. Protection of Serenity's necklace is really too powerful. It can even withstand such a terrifying attack from the God of War Edmund!"
Kant understood that the emerald-green barrier just now originated from the second special effect of 'Glory. Protection of Serenity', 'Serenity's Protection'.
Serenity's Protection: When the wearer suffers a fatal attack, this special effect will automatically activate and block a fatal attack for the wearer. Cooldown time: one week.
At this moment, the special effect of Serenity's Protection had already been used. Kant didn't know if the God of War, Edmund, would do the same thing again. It was too dangerous.
When he saw that his soldiers had actually stopped attacking the God of War, Edmund, he immediately gave the order to attack again.
As Kant gave the order, arrows and countless spells rained down on the God of War, Edmund.
At this moment, the God of War, Edmund, was about the same size as an ordinary person. The God of War, Edmund, had a red-light flash in his hands and under his body. A lance and a warhorse appeared once again, but at this moment, the God of War was completely restricted by the 2000 plus golems. If he wanted to move, he had to first destroy the golems that were blocking his way.
However, Edmund, did not have the time to bother with these golems at this moment because he needed to deal with the dense rain of arrows and spells. Moreover, due to his shrinking size, only a dozen or so golems around him were able to attack him. He used his power to condense a thick armor on himself and the warhorse. Just like that, he was able to withstand the attacks of the golems.
The knight lance seemed to come alive in his hands. It was so tightly packed that he was able to block most of the arrows.
However, he was helpless against the spells of the mages. All the spells landed on the God of War, Edmund.
What shocked Kant and his soldiers was that the God of War, Edmund, who had withstood so many terrifying spell attacks, was not killed. Instead, he was still waving the knight lance in his hand to block the arrows behind the crossbow.
However, his speed became much slower.
At the same time, his aura also became much weaker.
It seemed that the God of War, Edmund, was not completely unharmed after withstanding the spells of the mages.
"Continue to attack!"
As long as the attack was effective! Although the God of War, Edmund, was powerful, there was still a time when he would be defeated or even killed.
The attack lasted for more than ten minutes.
The God of War's body was already riddled with wounds. The heavy armor on him and his warhorse was already full of cracks, and his body was filled with arrows. He gave off an extremely tragic aura.
At this moment, the God of War no longer waved the lance in his hand. Instead, he let the lance fall to the ground.
His powerful aura also quieted down.
"Lord, it seems that the God of War has fallen!" Baheshtur said to Kant.
At this moment, Kant felt the system's strong desire to devour the God of War.
"Mages, control the golems and make way! Let me and the knights pass!"
Kant felt the system's agitation. At this moment, he confirmed that the God of War had really fallen silent. There was no power to resist, and it was not an act. As for whether he had fallen, Kant was not sure.
After all, the God of War, Edmund, was a true god. It was very difficult for him to completely fall.
Kant led dozens of Swadian Royal Knights to the God of War, but the God of War remained motionless.
[ Host, will the system be allowed to devour the God of War? ]
The system's dialog box appeared on Kant's retina. After Kant knew that the system had devoured the God of War, he should have completed the system's side quest. Thus, he agreed to the system's request without hesitation.
With Kant's agreement, a large number of pitch-black data chain wrapped around the God of War, Edmund.
The God of War, Edmund, began to become transparent in the dense pitch-black data chain. Only then did Kant realize that although the God of War, Edmund, still looked like an ordinary person, he was completely different on the inside.
His body looked exactly like an ordinary person, but the tissues, organs, and blood were all condensed from dense Divine Power of War. With the entanglement of the system's data chain, the body of the God of War once again turned into a mass of majestic, bright red Divine Power of War. In the center of this mass of Divine Power of War, there was a bright red prism-shaped crystal. A large number of pitch-black data chain wrapped around this bright red prism-shaped crystal.
"Could it be that this is the God of War's divinity?"
At this moment, the mass of divine power that originally formed the God of War's body suddenly changed violently.
"I'm not willing… I'm not willing…"
That mass of divine power turned into a large mouth. Edmund's voice came out from it. His words were filled with despair.
"Baron Kant… you will regret it… you will regret it… the noble families will not let you off…"
The voice of the God of War, Edmund, became weaker and weaker until it disappeared. At the same time, the majestic divine power that turned into a huge mouth turned back into a ball.
Perhaps at this time, the God of War had truly fallen.
Kant pondered over the meaning of the words of the God of War and was somewhat confused.
"What is the relationship between gods and nobles? I killed the God of War, but why would the noble family not let me go?"
This time, the system took a long time to devour the God of War's divinity.
It took a full three hours.
After three hours, the God of War's divinity was completely devoured by the system's pitch-black data chain and disappeared. Even the vast divine power that formed the God of War's body was devoured by the system.
[ Ding… After a tough battle, you have successfully captured the God of War. ]
[ Side quest: Secret of Extraordinary completed. ]
[ Reward: Become an extraordinary knight. ]
[ Comment: This was an extremely dangerous mission, but in the end, you were the one who won. ]

Chapter 557: The Book of Prophecy
As the system prompt told him that the mission was complete, a golden data chain burst out from the depths of Kant's mind, sketching an extremely mysterious crimson pattern in the depths of Kant's mind.
When this crimson pattern was completely sketched out, this crimson pattern suddenly appeared in the deepest part of Kant's eyes. In his field of vision, the world had suddenly changed. At this moment, the world was completely constructed from patterns of different colors.
At this moment, Kant was standing on a dark red pattern, fluctuating up and down with the fluctuations of the pattern.
Countless patterns gathered at the center of the world, forming an extremely large silver-gray light ball.
On the countless patterns, Kant found that there were human-shaped phantoms standing on some of the patterns, and on some of the patterns, there was a prism-shaped crystal. The color of the crystal was the same as the pattern that ran through them.
There were not many human-shaped phantoms. With a glance, Kant calculated that there were only fifty-one.
And the prism-shaped crystal was less than the human-shaped phantoms.
The deep red lines in the depths of Kant's eyes faded quietly. The world in Kant's vision once again became the interior scene of the palace in the War Temple.
At the same time, an extremely obscure word appeared in Kant's mind, "Isai Lannister Tolia.".
As soon as this word appeared, it seemed to have been deeply imprinted on his soul. He instantly knew the power and responsibility that this word represented. At the same time, he also understood that he must not easily tell this word to others.
A vast will suddenly descended on Kant.
"Your power has become extraordinary. I shall crown you and grant you the title of baron! I will grant you a fief, but you will have to develop it up yourself!"
As this will descended, a coordinate appeared in Kant's mind at the same time.
Fief!
This coordinate was actually the so-called fief. What made Kant even more surprised was that this coordinate was actually in the depths of his territory, the Nahrin Desert.
When this will bestowed him the title of baron and gave him a coordinate of a fief, it poured a large amount of information into him.
Only then did he understand that this will was the silver-gray ball of light in the center of the world in that magical vision just now. It was the world will, named Isai.
Only now did Kant know that this world could be called Isai World.
Through the information that the world will of Isai had imparted to him, Kant understood many things.
The Great War between the ancient gods and demons was the war of the Endless Abyss invading this world. If the demons defeated the gods, they would drag this world into the Endless Abyss and turn it into one of its layers. Fortunately, the demons had failed.
This world still existed independently, but that war between the gods and demons had caused the will of this world to awaken, or perhaps it could be said that it had been contaminated by the will of the Abyss. The laws of the bottom layer of the world had changed, the world would inevitably slowly sink into the Endless Abyss. One day, the entire world would be devoured by the Endless Abyss, turning into an ordinary layer of the endless abyss.
The will of the world had some characteristics of the will of the Abyss, but it was different from the chaotic disorder of the will of the Abyss. At the same time, it resisted the fate of being devoured by the will of the Abyss.
Thanks to the influence of the will of the world by the will of the Abyss, the rules of the bottom layer of the world had changed. Even if one did not become a god or did not understand the truth of the world like mages, ordinary people would still have the chance to control the rules.
Such ordinary people were the world's noble — they called themselves true nobles. They controlled the rules through their real names, which was surprisingly similar to the demon's real name.
However, similar to the demon's real name being controlled by the Abyss's will, the world's noble was also restricted by the world. When the world was strong, the noble would be strong. When the world declined, the noble would become weak. If the world was destroyed, the noble would not be able to escape the doom. And when the world fell into the Abyss, the noble would also become a demon.
In order to prevent the World of Isai from being swallowed by the Endless Abyss, the world will gave the noble and the god their respective duties. The god was responsible for lifting the world, and the noble was responsible for blocking and repelling the invasion of the abyssal demons.
Because the world will was polluted by the Abyss will, the Endless Abyss had a high chance of opening a passage to the World of Isai when it invaded the upper world. Those passages would be disturbed by the will of the world and would often appear in the noble's fiefdom.
"Perhaps, when I introduce myself to others in the future, I should call myself Kant Isai Cameron? As for Lannister Tolia, that is my real name and must not be known to anyone."
Kant thought in a relaxed manner. After the vision of the world's rules, Kant understood that he had been misled by the asymmetric information.
There were only 51 noble families that had been crowned by the world's will. If Kant was included, there were only 52.
"Yesterday, all the world's noble families came to invite me as an ally. It seems that although they are strong, they are also under great pressure."
Kant felt his current strength and was slightly stunned.
Strong, very strong, very strong.
Kant estimated that he could fight against a thousand ordinary grand knights.
However, if there were more than a thousand grand knights, he estimated that he would be wiped out by the enemy.
"I can obtain the power of the God of War, Edmund, through the system and become a world noble knight. If the other ordinary nobles have enough grand knights under them, would they be able to slaughter the gods and obtain their godheads to become a world noble?"
After becoming a world noble, Kant suddenly received a large amount of information. He gradually understood many things that he did not understand in the past.
"No wonder that Tyr. Isai. Maud said that the sects are very willing to destroy the top noble."
"What I don't know now is the relationship between the world's noble families and the gods. Why did the world's noble families clamor that they wouldn't let me off before the god of war was destroyed?"
Kant ordered Baheshtur to lead his troop to search the palace. After all, this was the home of the God of War, the place where the God of War had built his Divine Realm.
As for Kant himself, he sat quietly on his warhorse, comprehending his own power.
Currently, Kant had three types of extraordinary powers: King's Power, Divine Power, and Power of War.
Among them, King's Power came from the Sword of King, while Divine Power came from the sun disk. They were all extremely powerful extraordinary powers.
And the most powerful and powerful Power of War came from his real name, Lannister Tolia. This real name allowed him to directly draw power from the laws of war. At the same time, Kant gradually felt that this real name was gradually sinking into his bloodline.
[ System, analyze my Power of War. ]
Kant felt that his Power of War was very powerful. Many vague applications appeared in his heart, but these applications were not like when he first obtained the King's Power and the Divine Power, he could easily understand it completely and use it easily.
Perhaps he would have to figure out more ways to use this Power of War.
At the moment, he only knew that he could directly use this power to fight against 1,000 grand knights.
[ Power of War: The power of the rules of war. The strength of the power depends on the strength of the rules of war. 1. Body of War: The owner burst with the Power of War. Increases physical fitness by 3,000%. It will fluctuate according to the strength of the rules of war. 2. War Domain: within the domain, the morale of the soldiers on our side is high, increase their strength by 100%, eager to fight. 3. Battlefield Summoning: use the Power of War to condense the real thing to fight against the enemy. 4. Bloodline Bestowal: Use your own blood as a guide to bestow upon a peak knight, allowing them to easily comprehend the Power of War and advance to grand knight. This method will dilute your real name, please use it carefully. ]
The system was awesome. Many of Kant's own abilities were vague. After the system's explanation, he immediately understood them. Moreover, he already felt that he could use the power of war freely.
At this moment, Baheshtur suddenly arrived. He held a thick book with both hands and looked extremely exhausted.
This book was extremely heavy. Kant took a closer look and realized that the entire book was made of a dark red metal. There were not many pages in the book, and including the cover and the last page, there were only six pages. However, each page was very heavy.
On the dark red cover, there were four large words written in the ancient divine language, "Book of Prophecy.".
Kant opened the thick cover of the book and found that on the first page, there was a young figure reading. The young figure had golden hair. Kant looked at the situation around the young figure and felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Kant opened the second page and found a majestic fortress standing in a vast desert. At this moment, Kant recognized at a glance that this fortress was his Drondheim. This desert was undoubtedly the Nahrin Desert.
At this moment, Kant also reacted. Wasn't the figure on the first page the young him? That was when he was young, wanting to understand this world and crazily reading books.
"This book is interesting. It's called the Book of Prophecy, but the picture is the past of the person who opened it. Perhaps if you continue to open it, you can see the picture of the prophecy."
Kant's interest was piqued, so he flipped to the third page.
On the third page was the image of Kant standing on the dark red lines of the laws of war, using the perspective of the laws to observe the situation of this world. The image on this page was clearly depicted by Kant, and the world noble figures that Kant had seen were just an outline.
At this moment, Kant's heart was somewhat apprehensive and expectant, but at the same time, he was also somewhat fearful.
This fourth page was the last page of the Book of Prophecy, excluding the cover and the last page.
The third page had already shown the scene he had just experienced, so this fourth page was his future picture.
Kant couldn't help but think of the God of War, Edmund. At that time, he wanted to kill him at all costs, as if he knew his own destiny?
And this book was found in the palace of the God of War. So, did Edmund see him being killed by Kant's troop in this book? Or was it something else?
If that was the case, then hadn't the god of war been afraid for so many years, yet waiting for such an ending? Why hadn't he erased Kant before he had matured?
Destiny?
Kant's hand rested on the third page, suddenly feeling a strange heaviness.
Edmund's final struggle seemed to verify the correctness of this Book of Prophecy.
Kant really wanted to open the fourth page to see what his future would look like, but the rational judgment in his heart told him that no matter what would appear on the fourth page of the Book of Prophecy, it was best not to read it.
"Lord, there is nothing in this book!"
Baheshtur, who was standing next to Kant, suddenly said to Kant, and Kant was slightly stunned.
Baheshtur didn't see anything?
Kant's gaze fell on the third page of the Book of Prophecy, which vividly depicted what he saw in the vision of the rules.
"In your eyes, there is nothing in this book?"
"Yes, Lord. This white book is quite heavy. I wanted to open it to take a look, but I couldn't open it at all. When I saw that Lord was able to open it, I thought that there would be something related to the God of War in it. Who knew that it would be the same as the cover? There's nothing."
White Book? There's nothing on the cover?
Kant looked at the crimson-colored Book of Prophecy and then at Baheshtur. He knew that Baheshtur would not lie to him. This meant that the Book of Prophecy really had nothing in his eyes, and it was white.
"Is it because of my extraordinary power? When my Power of War erupted, it was indeed crimson."
Kant withdrew the Power of War that was constantly pervading his body. He discovered that the picture on the third page of the Book of Prophecy had gradually faded, and the color of the Book of Prophecy had really turned white.
Kant used his King's Power and Divine Power again. Similarly, nothing appeared on the Book of Prophecy. It was still a blank book.
Kant summoned a Swadian Royal Knight and a mage to conduct experiments. In the end, they told Kant that there was nothing in the Book of Prophecy.
When Kant once again filled his body with the Power of War, the white book suddenly turned dark red. On the cover, four ancient divine runes appeared.
Kant flipped to the first, second, and third pages again and found that there was no change compared to before.
Kant's gaze was somewhat conflicted as he placed it on the third page.
Should he turn this page over or not?
The desire for the unknown in his heart and the rationality conflicted and opposed each other, causing Kant to be unable to make a decision for a long time.
Finally, Kant's desire for the unknown, suppressed the rational, Kant slowly flipped the third page of the Book of Prophecy.

Chapter 558: A Year of Steady Development
Baheshtur saw Kant open the white metal book to the fourth page, but he only opened it halfway before closing it.
"I can't see anything from this white metal book, but Lord Kant might be able to see something." Baheshtur thought.
Kant's expression of deep thought had already lasted for a few minutes.
"Lord, are you alright?" Baheshtur asked carefully.
Kant blinked, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Baheshtur. Prepare to take over Lionheart City! The west city gate of Lionheart City is no longer a concern. The knight orders of those sects should not come looking for trouble with us anymore!"
Gold, light, darkness, and dark red, the four-colored radiance was incomparably brilliant. This was the scene Kant saw in the half of the fourth page of Book of Prophecy. Above the four-colored radiance stood a figure wearing a blood-colored cloak and with golden hair draped over his shoulders. He held a broken sword in his hand, the four-colored radiance on the broken sword rose, and there were also drops of purple blood.
When Kant saw half of it, he forcefully closed the book of prophecy.
"Even if I read the entire fourth page of the Book of Prophecy, I wouldn't know who I'm fighting, right?"
Kant thought that way. It was just like how the god of war, Edmund, only showed his war attitude towards him when he stepped into Lionheart City. Perhaps this could explain the scene that the god of war saw on the fourth page of the Book of Prophecy. Was him being surrounded and killed by a golden-haired figure wearing a blood-red cloak? But obviously, the god of war, Edmund, could not judge who his opponent was based on those characteristics.
"My sword is broken. Did I hurt him or kill him? Or perhaps I was defeated, heavily injured, or even killed by him? It's better to leave all of this to the unknown. I only need to know that I will definitely meet a terrifying enemy in the future. This is enough, knowing the result would be bad instead. Do I have to pay attention to or wait for such a scene to appear?"
Kant refused to have such a scene appear. Now was just the right time. Not only did he satisfy his curiosity about the future, but he also wouldn't directly restrain himself just because he saw the scene in the prophecy.
It would be fine as long as he continued to be strong.
"Let's complete the main quest of the system first! Conquer the Dukedom of Leo and become the only ruler of the Dukedom of Leo."
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
Just as Kant had expected, the knight orders from the other countries and sects were called back by the sects when they were halfway through. This was an anticlimactic operation.
As for the rumors of Baron Kant defecting to the devil, the religions of the other countries announced one after another to clarify for Baron Kant, explaining that Baron Kant was a noble and had nothing to do with the devil.
Kant naturally understood that his previous impressive reputation and powerful strength were indeed a great threat to the gods. However, since he had already slaughtered the god of war and advanced to become a world noble, he was no longer a threat to the gods.
Within a year, Kant did not launch any more invasions, and those world nobles who had mistakenly thought that Kant had promoted himself to a world noble never came to seek an alliance with Kant again. It seemed that Kant had really killed the god of war and offended them.
However, they did not shout like the god of war before his death, "We will not let him go." Kant had a rare year of peace and tranquility.
Over the past year, thanks to the existence of the system, Kant's estate had developed rapidly. Such a speed of development was not an exaggeration to call it a miracle.
Firstly, Kant's estate in the Nahrin Desert, the Drondheim located in the Oasis Lookout had once again expanded to the size of a large-scale fortress, with 5,000 soldiers stationed there, Kant's most powerful subordinate, the underworld apostle Bunduk, was leading them.
Oasis Lookout had also expanded its scope because of the date palm jungle, wheat fields, and the splendor meadow. In the vicinity of Drondheim's main fortress, many high-class houses had been added to the village. The clean and tidy stone pavement connected these villages to Drondheim's fortress.
Today, in the Oasis Lookout, in addition to the 5,000 soldiers stationed in Drondheim, there were 30,000 civilians. Most of them worked in the date palm forests, wheat fields, chee grass field, camel farms, and sand grouse farms. Their continuous work, together with Kant's topographical transformation, made the Oasis Lookout expand.
The civilians who first came were mostly working in the large salt mill, large spice mill, large sugar mill, large bakery, and large mill in Drondheim Fortress. Sacks of salt, spices, and sugar were piled up from the shops all the way to the street, and merchants were driving their carriages to come and go. The air was filled with the fragrance of various spices mixed together.
In the salt mines further north, the scale of the original posthouse had also expanded a lot. It gradually became the size of a small town. Some civilians became miners and settled in this small town. As Baron Kant's territory became more and more prosperous, as well as selling more fine white salt in Lionheart City, they needed to carry out a greater mining effort in the salt mines. At this time, there were already 3,000 miners in this small town. They were all civilian miners, civilians from the world of "Mount and Blade", and about 2,000 slave miners.
At the exit of the Senwaya Range, there was a central posthouse that connected the Oasis Lookout and the Aaron Castle in the Senwaya Range, or the Stone Pass. Because Baron Kant's estate was more prosperous, there were more trade caravan. This made the posthouse, which used to be a transit point, become more prosperous and gradually developed into a perfect town. Of course, the trade caravan that traveled to and from the small station was formed after the commoners from the "Mount and Blade" world developed in this world and chose to become merchants. As for the trade caravan of this world, if they wanted to buy fine white salt, spices, and sugar from the depths of the Nahrin Desert, they could only trade in Lionheart City.
This place was now considered the hinterland of Baron Kant's estate.
As Kant's original estate, Drondheim's development was very good. Its military power, agricultural development, and industrial development were all very good. Salt, spices, sugar, and other luxury goods were still an important part of Kant's economic industry. But after all, it was limited by the terrain of the desert, so it couldn't develop too quickly.
This was compared to the second city that Kant established, Aaron.
In fact, compared to the other kingdoms and dukedoms in the world, Drondheim was already a first-class prosperous city. Although it stood in the harsh environment of the Nahrin Desert. But it has become a miracle in the Nahrin Desert. This was the comment from the noble, religious, adventurers, bards, spies and all other professions that knew a little bit of Drondheim, and the comment of the civilians who knew Drondheim through them.
If Baron Kant had not refused to sign the certificate of residence in Drondheim for the people of this world, the population of Drondheim would have increased by ten or twenty thousand.
In fact, not only Drondheim, but all the cities and towns in Baron Kant's estate were not open to the people of this world. After the outsiders stayed for a while, they would always be politely reminded by the soldiers in Baron Kant's estate that it was time for them to leave.
Aaron, this was Kant's second town in the world. It had developed into a big city with a population of 200,000. In Aaron, there were also 5,000 soldiers stationed, led by the battlefield doctor James.
This was a city built on top of a mountain in the Senwaya Range, and it was also the tallest city in the world. In the Senwaya Range, the land was rich, and the resources were abundant. The successful development of the terraced fields made Aaron one of Kant's granaries.
Aaron City's unique geographical location made the livestock industry that existed earlier also get great development. Chicken farms, pig farms, sheep farms, cattle farms, bee farms… dotted in the Senwaya Range, they provided fresh meat and milk products to Kant's estate. They were also one of the suppliers of raw materials for the furry workshops, leather workshops, and tanning workshops in Aaron City.
The rich wood resources in the Senwaya Range made Aaron City the largest supplier of charcoal, wood crafts, and wood furniture in the world. The iron ore resources found in the Aaron mountain range not only allowed Aaron City to own the largest iron workshop in Kant's estate, supplying the demand for iron farm tools throughout Kant's estate, but also set up a huge weapons and armor workshop.
Although Kant's soldiers all had weapons and armor provided by the system, the weapons business was also a business that was as profitable as white salt. Naturally, this business was also in Kant's hands.
Aaron City had a flourishing agriculture, industry, handicraft industry, and commerce. With the development of these industries, Kant could collect a lot of denars through special taxes. The residents of Aaron City were naturally from the commoners of the world of "Mount and Blade".
Compared to the great development of Drondheim and Aaron, Kant's third city, Sargoth, was located in the East County. It was next to the Resniston River and backed by the mountain range that connected the underground passage to Aaron City, however, it did not develop by leaps and bounds economically.
After all, this was the East County. With the betrayal of the noble families of the East County in the civil war a year ago, Kant's control of the East County was considered to have failed. Kant had been developing his estate for the past year, he was digesting the fruits of victory obtained from the invasion of the Dukedom of Leo.
Although Sargoth did not have much economic development, the level of the fortress was successfully upgraded by Kant, becoming a large-scale fortress like Drondheim. At the same time, the number of soldiers stationed here was also 5000, led by Baheshtur.
These were the developments of the three cities that Kant had established in the first place.
Apart from that, the territory of the Dukedom of Leo, which had been completely occupied by Kant, the entire North County and half of the South County in the north, had also been completely digested by Kant.
The noble families in the North County had all been eliminated by Firentis, while the civilians of the North County that belonged to this world had been expelled by Firentis. This was an order from Kant. Kant was determined to develop an empire that was built entirely on the basis of population of "Mount and Blade" world.
Of course, Kant did not deliberately torture the people of this world who were expelled by Firentis. Instead, he only expelled them after paying them the fixed assets that they could not take away. They did not have to worry about not having a place to go. In this world, population was the most important resource. As long as they were willing to serve, all the lords were willing to accept them.
At the center of the North County that was almost emptied, Kant once again built a city. Kant named it Veluca.
Veluca City was defined by Kant as an inland trading city. It was similar to Aaron, but mainly agricultural. After all, North County was now the hinterland of Kant's territory.
With Veluca City as the center, with the castles left behind by the noble families as the center, Kant built a large number of houses in North County and upgraded them to high-level houses, attracting a large number of people from the world of "Mount and Blade".
The entire North County accommodated two million people from the world of "Mount and Blade". The existence of these people was of great significance to Kant. At any time, Kant could turn them into militia, and after one battle after another, they could quickly upgrade to a high-level up troop class. When they were not needed, they would help Kant farm, and they could also provide Kant with a poll tax and a large amount of food.
So, for now, the job of these people was to help Kant open up the North County and grow food.
The land of the North County was relatively barren, but it was not too bad. No matter how barren the North County was, it would not be as barren as the Oasis Lookout. North County used to grow barley and oats. Compared to wheat and oats, they were more suitable for the barren land. Of course, the taste was much worse, and the price was cheaper.
Kant did not make many changes to this. He also mainly planted barley and oats and introduced potatoes and onions.
The change was that the surplus barley produced in the North County was bought by Kant in large quantities into Veluca City. They brewed delicious malt wine and sold well in various countries in exchange for a large number of golden eagles. The surplus oats were bought by Kant in large quantities into the Veluca City and ground into powder. This was the feed for a good warhorse. The Dukedom of Leo, who loved to train cavalry, could digest more than half of this oat powder.
Veluca City only had 2,000 soldiers stationed there, and they were led by Firentis. In the large number of noble castles in the North County, Kant sent out a number of Swadian Royal Knights and Sarleon Lion Knights to station there and asked them to assist Fatis in governing the entire North County.
Similar to the North County, Kant also established a city South County, and named it Jelkala. In Jelkala, there were 5,000 soldiers stationed, and they were led by Rolf.
Jelkala was the center of the entire South County. It was also the southernmost part of the South County that Kant had obtained. Kant had developed it into a fortress city, which corresponded to Lionheart City from the north to the south.
The development model of half of the South County was similar to that of the North County. However, due to the richness of the land, they mainly cultivated wheat. Half of the South County allowed Kant to accommodate 1,000,000 people from the world of "Mount and Blade". Furthermore, it was one of Kant's important granaries.
As for Kant himself, other than patrolling his estate, he had always been stationed in Lionheart City. At this moment, there were heavy troops stationed in Lionheart City by Kant. There was a total of 10,000 soldiers, most of which were level 4 or 5 troop class.
During this one year, Kant's strength had been developing rapidly, preparing for the system's main quest.
Now, even if the five world noble families of the Dukedom of Leo were to unite, Kant had accumulated enough strength to prepare for another expedition.

Chapter 559: Guests of the Castle
One day after Kant's peaceful development of a year, four distinguished guests arrived at the lion's castle, the southern County of the dukedom of Leo. They were four of the top noble families of the dukedom of Leo, Count Cody. Maud, Count Simon. Prynne, Count Rowan. Reese, Count Seth. Enoch.
It was common knowledge that the four top-tier noble families were all vassals of Grand Duke Cameron, but they did not follow Grand Duke Cameron's orders.
In the eyes of all the noble families in the Dukedom of Leo, the four top-tier noble families were powerful families that could compete with the Cameron family. In fact, that was indeed the case. Whether it was the strength displayed by the four top-tier noble families or the true strength they possessed, they were not inferior to the Cameron family.
If their family's real "fiefdom" was not located in the Dukedom of Leo, they might not have become the top nobles of the Dukedom of Leo but might have established a dukedom of their own. They had such power.
The Dukedom of Leo was a large-scale fortress. There were no less than 5,000 elite heavy cavalries in it. However, what was strange was that almost all of these 5,000 elite heavy cavalries were official cavalries. There were only five grand knights, each of them led an official cavalry legion, which was 1,000 people.
Of course, this situation was quite strange. Even those upper-class noble families, ordinary viscount families and slightly powerful baron families in the South County would not only have five grand knights. Lion Fort was the publicly acknowledged number one castle in the South County. It only had five grand knights. It was too shabby and strange.
"Count Maud, Count Prynne, Count Reese, Count Enoch, please come in!" A young man who looked similar to Kant, with long golden hair and blue eyes greeted them. The young man, who was at the peak grand knight level, was no less powerful than the four top-tier nobles of the Dukedom of Leo. He stood upright at the gate of Lion Fort and welcomed the four top-tier nobles of the Dukedom of Leo.
Obviously, this was not a sudden visit, but an official visit that had already greeted the master of the Dukedom of Leo in advance.
"Carl, you have a good brother!" Count Cody. Maud said with a hint of a smile, but there was no warmth in that smile.
Carl. Cameron, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron. At this moment, he was managing the entire Dukedom of Leo.
At this moment, Carl heard Count Cody. Maud, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes. However, he was a qualified noble, and he quickly hid his emotions.
At the same time, he replied to Count Cody. Maud with a smile and said, "Thank you for your praise, Count Maud. If Kant knew that you praised him so much, he would definitely be very happy. He might even thank you personally."
"Hmph, I can't accept Baron Kant's gratitude. When I see him, I'll be satisfied if he doesn't force me to call him Lord!" Count Cody Maud said unhappily.
"Alright, Maud! Let's not waste any more time. Carl, bring us in. Did Lord Cameron leave the matter to you?"
"Yes, Count Enoch!"
…
Lionheart City was the only estate of Kant that had not changed much. It was still regarded as a large-scale trading city by Kant. The port of Lionheart City handled a huge amount of goods every day. On the East-West Main Road, carriages full of goods filled the wide road. However, more than half of these carriages belonged to Kant's people. They came from the population of the world of "Mount and Blade". They constantly transported all kinds of goods from Drondheim, Aaron, Veluca, and Jelkala in exchange for golden eagles. Then, they exchanged the golden eagles for the lovely denars from Baron Kant's trade caravan.
In Lionheart City, the original population of this world was not excluded. They could obtain the right to live there. Kant did not change either. The upper-class noble families who settled in Lionheart City still lived in the Eastern District of Lionheart City. Because of Kant's prosperous estate, Lionheart City was well-developed as well. Now, the permanent population of Lionheart City was one-third higher than before. It already had a population of 200,000 people.
Kant stood in a side hall in the city lord's mansion in the Central District of Lionheart City. In this side hall, there was a sand table of the Dukedom of Leo. He was thinking about how to start the war.
He had several choices now. One, he could choose to complete the main quest and completely conquer the Dukedom of Leo, becoming the only ruler of the Dukedom of Leo. On the other hand, he could choose to explore the world's will and grant him the title of a world noble — Kant. Isai. Cameron and obtain the land.
According to the world's will, once he explored and successfully cultivated his own land, the land would be a huge demiplane — it was the Divine Kingdom of an ancient fallen god, it had fallen to the ground and fused with this main world.
However, Kant was still inclined to complete the system's main quest first.
Kant had once gone to the coordinates given to him by the world will in the Nahrin Desert alone and opened a door through the Power of War to enter that demiplane to take a look. That demiplane was actually formed after the Sun God's divine kingdom fell from the sky and was hung on the main plane of this Isaiah World.
That demiplane was not calm, because it was like a complete world operating inside. Its area was as large as ten Dukedom of Leo, and there were also humans inside, and there were many of them. Kant had sneaked into their library to check the information and knew that these people were all descendants of the Sun God. Ten thousand years had already made them forget the glory of the past, but the bloodline of the god's descendants still gave them great power. Conquering that demiplane was much more difficult than conquering the Dukedom of Leo.
Kant remembered that the descendant of the Sun God in the main plane had been crazily sacrificed to the undead plane by the pope of the Sun God Sect. He had wanted to exchange for the power of eternal life, but in the end, he had only become a pathetic half-lich.
Now, Kant's power was already very powerful. At the very least, it was completely overwhelming against the Dukedom of Leo on the surface.
Of course, if the five great world's noble families in the Dukedom of Leo were to hide in their own fiefdoms, Kant would not be completely confident if they were to use all their power in the demiplane like Kant's to fight Kant, but he was not too afraid.
If the five great world's noble families were to unite against Kant, then this battle would naturally be extremely difficult. But if they did not join forces to fight him, then his main quest would become extremely easy. After all, Kant did not intend to occupy the demiplanes of the five world's noble families that were mounted on the Isai World's main plane, even though the coordinates of their demiplanes were in the South County of the Dukedom of Leo.
There was no need to do this. The more demiplanes there were, the better. Possessing them did not simply mean increasing the amount of land. It also meant that they needed to defend against the invasion of the demons in the demiplane. The demiplane formed by the Divine Kingdom of the Sun God did not have any traces of the invasion of the demons. That was probably because Kant had yet to truly "reclaim" it.
After he occupied the demiplane, it would become his "fief." At that time, under the push of the will of World of Isai, if the random spatial passage created when the Endless Abyss invaded the upper planes was connected to World of Isai, the world's will might transfer the spatial passage to his "fief.".
If he didn't want to become a demon, even if he had the system, he would have to help Isai resist the invasion of demons until the spatial passage closed, or he would have to forcibly close the spatial passage himself.
Kant thought about the situation in the Dukedom of Leo, and then muttered to himself, "First it's easy, then it's difficult. I'll take down the East County first, and then I'll attack the South County!"
In fact, with the various countries and sects collectively declaring that Kant was not a person who defected to the demons, but an honorable noble, many nobles in the East County wanted to rejoin Kant, and even many upper-class nobles in the South County had secretly sent envoys to contact Kant and expressed their intention to pledge their allegiance.
But Kant completely rejected them.
He had already developed, did he need these noble's allegiance?
There was no need at all. His overall strategy had already changed.
In the past, he was still a little worried. If he really occupied all the territories on the land, for the sake of his pure empire of "Mount and Blade", would he really have to slaughter all the humans? However, the existence of the fiefdoms in the demiplanes of the world noble families helped him solve this problem that troubled him greatly.
At that time, he could only focus on chasing away the people on the lands he occupied. When he really occupied all the territories on the land, he could still chase those people into the fiefdoms of the world's noble families. After all, Kant had no intention of conquering the fiefdoms of the world noble families. That would be a big problem.
Although Kant believed that he had a cold and resolute heart, he still instinctively rejected to massacre all the humans in this world. That was why when he had first formulated the plan, he had left some space for the noble families and commoners of this world. But now, there was no need.
"Will, pass down the order to Baheshtur. Tell him to start attacking the entire East County and clear out the entire East County! Those who are willing to leave, drive them out. Those who are unwilling, bury them in their homeland!"
Kant calmly issued this war order that was destined to lead to a bloody storm.
Will was the mage commander in charge of Kant's intelligence transmission. He obeyed Kant's order and left.
"Mande, you will lead 200 Swadian Royal Knights, 200 Sarleon Lion Knights, and 200 mages to support Baheshtur! Bring the Flag of Intimidation and the Horn of Commanding Power!" After Will left Kant gave an order to a Swadian Royal Knight beside him. Mande was his name.
All of Kant's troop class had gradually become a level 4 or 5 advanced troop class. Even the level 6 troop classes Swadian Royal Knights, Sarleon Lion Knights, and mages of the Enfath Empire each had grew to 1,000 people. The huge Caradia Empire, this was the name Kant had prepared for his empire. It had gradually begun to take shape. The prosperous economy was enough to support Kant's huge and advanced troop class.
However, level up 6 troop class was already the upper limit, and the system seemed to be unable to upgrade the troop class to the true transcendence realm.
Kant's current denar savings were growing rapidly every week. All the experience gained from the continuous battles had been used up by Kant, and all the troop class had been upgraded to the highest level up.
With the huge population base, Kant no longer had to worry too much about the number of soldiers.
After giving the order, Kant set his eyes on the remaining half of the South County on the sand table.
This half of the South County was filled with manors and many castles. Because it was close to the Resniston River, this part of the land was the most fertile land in the entire South County. It was also the most fertile land in the Dukedom of Leo.
The best land was naturally occupied by the strongest noble. These manors and castles belonged to the upper-class noble of the Dukedom of Leo. In fact, these upper-class nobles had occupied 80% of the power and resources of the entire Dukedom of Leo.
The last half of the South County, even without the intervention of the five great world noble families, was still a tough nut to crack.
With Kant's current power and military strength, it was inevitable that they would be crushed by him. However, it was estimated that Kant would suffer significant losses to do so.
At this moment, a Swadian Royal Knight walked over and reported respectfully to Kant, "Lord, Count Cody Maud, Count Simon Prynne, Count Rowan Reese, Count Seth Enoch, and Viscount Carl Cameron request an audience."
Kant raised his head. "The four top nobles of the Dukedom of Leo, as well as my elder brother whom I have never met before?"
Why are they here to see me? Behind these five people stood the five true noble families of the Dukedom of Leo. The powerful upper-class noble families of the Dukedom of Leo did not even have the right to know of their existence.
"Take them to the main hall. I'll be right behind you!" Kant recalled the words of the God of War, Edmund, before he died. "I'm afraid these five people do not come with good intentions!"
In the main hall of the Lionheart City, Count Cody Maud, Count Simon Prynne, Count Rowan Reese, Count Seth Enoch, and Viscount Carl Cameron, the five most powerful men in the Dukedom of Leo, were brought to the main hall by the Swadian Royal Knights. The attendants served them delicious and sweet drinks in time.
However, this delicious and sweet drink tasted like wax to the five of them.
"Carl, your little brother is so arrogant! How dare he make us wait for him?" Count Simon. Prynne said with extreme dissatisfaction. Among the five of them, perhaps Carl was the only one who was dissatisfied with Kant. One year ago, when Kant took over Lionheart City, among the four city gates of Lionheart City, the city gate guards that he sent suffered heavy losses and almost all of them were wiped out. Three-thousand-man troop was not a small number.
"Count Prynne, please be patient. On behalf of my brother, Baron Kant, I apologize to you. After all, he has not received a proper noble education. It is inevitable that he has some flaws in noble etiquette," Carl. Cameron's voice was gentle as he spoke. However, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. Carl was filled with jealousy and hatred towards Kant. This brother that he had never taken seriously and had even treated as if he had never seen him before had now climbed onto his head.
He was thinking about how to push Kant hard later.

Chapter 560: Disgusting Conversation
Standing beside the sand table of the Dukedom of Leo in the side hall of the city lord's mansion of Lionheart City, Kant set aside the five flags representing the enormous power of the five world noble families, they were not directly inserted into the castle of the five world noble families on the sand table in the South County.
"Forget it. Let's go and see the purpose of these five guys' visit. Although I am absolutely sure that it is not a good thing, I still have to confirm it," Kant said to himself. Then, he left the side hall of the city lord's mansion.
When he arrived at the main hall, Kant saw that the four counts, who were the top nobles of the Dukedom of Leo, were verbally attacking him. And his brother, Carl. Cameron, who was more of a half-brother in name than in substance, was brushing off the four top counts with a fake smile on his face. He was actually apologizing to the four top counts on Kant's behalf in the name of his brother, Kant. At the same time, he also criticized Kant from time to time, the only thing he said was that Kant did not have noble qualities. The fault was that the Cameron family and his older brother did not educate Kant well.
As if to take revenge on Kant, the four top-ranking nobles did not stop talking even when they saw Kant coming in, Count Simon. Prynne said in a bad tone, "Carl, your father, the Grand Duke Cameron, was too merciful. Back then, he should have first confirmed the noble qualities of Baron Kant before giving him the title of nobility and fief."
After saying that, Count Simon. Prynne even glared at Kant, with a hint of a demonstration.
Kant only felt that it was ridiculous.
He did not believe that the four top-class counts of the Dukedom of Leo, who had world nobles in their families, would not know that Kant had been promoted to a world noble in the main plane of Isai?
What was the difference in status between a world noble and an ordinary noble? The difference was like the day and night. It was even greater than the difference in status between a top-class noble of the Dukedom of Leo and an ordinary serf. This was the difference between a god and a mortal. Back then, in order to meet Kant, 51 world nobles had knocked out everyone in the Noble District in the Eastern District of Lionheart City. The upper-class nobles of the Dukedom of Leo did not even have the right to know of their existence.
But now, Count Simon. Prynne had actually used his eyes to demonstrate his power to Kant, a real world noble. It was as laughable as an ant threatening an elephant.
Kant was not a soft and bad person. He revealed a sneer, and a dark red aura suddenly circulated around his body.
A vast and majestic aura unscrupulously circulated around Kant's body and targeted the five people ruthlessly.
The five of them, who were originally calm and collected, now had solemn expressions and even a trace of fear on their faces, even though they had the strength of peak grand knight.
Kant's aura was too terrifying for them.
It was as if a male lion, who had been lying on his stomach and sleeping with his eyes narrowed, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a furious roar at the five little sheep who had ignored him at the beginning. The five little sheep were terrified. At this moment, the four top counts of the Dukedom of Leo and Carl. Cameron was even more terrified.
Because the gap between them and Kant was much greater than the gap between the male lion and sheep.
When Kant saw the miserable appearance of the five people, he smiled sarcastically and withdrew the dark red Power of War that was circulating around his body.
This was only to give them some deterrence and punishment for daring to criticize and ignore him. As for bullying them with their imposing manner? Kant was not so bored. He and these five people were not on the same level. If he were to lower himself to their level, it would be a disgrace to his status.
Unless these five people dared to provoke Kant, Kant would not care too much about them — for the sake of the world nobles standing behind them.
"Five distinguished guests, now you can explain your purpose of coming!" Kant took the exquisite clay cup handed over by the attendant and sat on the main seat of the main hall of the city lord's mansion. He held the exquisite clay cup in his right hand and played with it while he spoke to the five nobles who were sitting on the guest seats and had the highest authority in the entire lion empire on the surface.
The expressions of the four top-ranking counts were a little sullen. What kind of noble status were they? Even Grand Duke Cameron, who was also a world noble, treated them according to the etiquette of the noble. He was like a gentleman. How dare Kant treat them like this?
As for Carl. Cameron's face was gloomy. Kant did not have any intention of treating him, this "elder brother", differently from the other four counts. This was simply a slap to his face. God knows how many words he had said to the four top-ranking counts in the name of Kant's brother before Kant arrived. Even with his shrewdness, he could no longer maintain a calm expression.
"Viscount Karl, it's better for you to speak!" Count Cody. Maud said.
After hearing Count Cody. Maud's words, Karl. Cameron nodded and put away his gloomy expression.
"Brother!" Viscount Karl seemed to have forgotten that Kant had completely ignored him. His tone was somewhat affectionate as he said, "Our purpose of coming here is related to the God of War."
Kant's expression was indifferent as he said, "Viscount Karl Cameron, please pay attention to your words. Call me Baron Kant, or His Highness Kant! I, Kant, have never thought that I have a brother!"
Looking at the man who was eight or nine years older than him and looked very calm and steady, and who a similar face but a huge difference in the color of his eyes, Kant revealed a trace of a mocking smile.
"I, Kant, have never had any family in this world."
When I was sixteen years old, my father gave me the title of baron and gave me the Nahrin Desert as my estate. This was indirectly asking me to die. If not for the system, my bones would probably have been buried in the sand of the Nahrin Desert.
My mother had passed away when I was born, so there was no way to talk about their relationship.
My older brother was eight or nine years older than me. Now that I was 18 years old, this was the first time he met me.
This is family? I, Kant, don't have any family in this world, and I don't need any family!
"Brother!" Carl. Cameron called out with red eyes, as if Kant's words had deeply stimulated him, "How can you say that? We all have our father's blood flowing in our bodies. This is the blood of our closest kin. Nothing can tear it apart!"
Kant directly ignored Carl's horrible acting performance that made him feel like vomiting, at the same time, a wisp of dark red Power of War quietly climbed onto the exquisite ceramic cup that he was playing with. "Viscount Carl. Cameron, I don't like to repeat what I've said a second time. If you dare to continue to ignore my will, I will teach you how to face it squarely, if you still have the chance after I teach you!"
Carl. Cameron felt Kant's cold pressure on him, as well as the terrifying killing intent that he did not unleash. A hint of fear quickly entered his heart. As a peak grand knight, he was even drenched in cold sweat on his goose down inner lining. The inner lining stuck to his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He thought with a slight tremble, "Kant, he's actually serious. He doesn't even care about the blood relationship between me and him. Blood-related brotherhood. He really dares to kill me! He doesn't even care about his father, a world noble. This b*stard, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have treated him like trash and left him to fend for himself in Lionheart City. Instead, I should have killed him earlier!"
Under Kant's oppression, Carl. Cameron lowered his head, but his eyes were filled with madness and hatred. "I have to endure! I have to endure! When my father dies in battle, I will successfully awaken my real name and become the next world noble of the Cameron family. Then, I will wash away the shame that Kant, this b*stard, has brought me today!"
Carl. Cameron said humbly, "As you wish, Lord Kant!"
The four top-ranking counts looked at each other. Their original plan — to rely on blood ties to win Kant over had failed. Next, they could only threaten him. This matter was originally done by Kant's brother, Carl. Cameron had done it after winning Kant over. But now they looked at Carl, who had shown humility in front of Kant, they quietly made changes to the original second plan.
At this time, Kant took a sip of the sweet drink in the exquisite clay cup in his hand. Then he said, "Now, you can continue to state your intentions."
Kant's voice was extremely flat, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
If the generals who were familiar with Kant were beside Kant, they would know that Kant's tone meant that he was not happy.
Carl. Cameron had already said that they were here for the matter of the God of War, Edmund. The God of War, Edmund, had once said that the noble would not let him off. After a year of peace, the noble finally found him. The nobles here naturally had their real names, and were incomparably powerful world nobles. Behind the five people who had arrived were the five world nobles from the Dukedom of Leo. It would be strange if Kant was in a good mood.
"They really came with ill intentions!" Kant thought as he quietly waited for the five people to continue.
"Let me say it!" Seeing Carl. Cameron was about to open his mouth, Count Cody. Maud immediately said. At this moment, Carl. Cameron looked like he had been completely suppressed by Kant. How could he say that he was threatening Kant? When the four top-level counts looked at each other, they tacitly excluded this point. And in their hearts, they were also vegan to look down at Carl. Cameron. His father was clearly an extraordinary knight and a world noble, yet he was so easily subdued by another world noble. One had to know that, Carl. Cameron now represented the entire Cameron family. If he were to submit like this, some of those who met the standard, Duke Cameron, would also want Kant to submit.
Carl. Cameron was also a person with a clear mind. When he saw the four top-ranked counts looking at him, how could he not know what they were thinking? He felt a little wronged. He believed that if he faced the killing intent of a world noble alone, presumably, the performance of these four top-ranked counts would not be much better than his. However, he was unable to explain this reason to the four top-ranked counts in front of Kant.
However, Carl. Cameron's hatred towards Kant had deepened. He was despised by the four top-ranked counts at the same time. In the end, it was not because Kant forced him. These four top-ranked counts were the ones who were like him, Carl. Cameron was on the same level as his peers. Being despised by them was no less than being despised by his peers. This was an extremely painful thing.
Even though Carl. Cameron's hatred towards Kant had deepened, he still smiled at Count Cody. Maud said,
"Then Count Maud, I'll have to trouble you!"
Count Cody. Maud said, "Baron Kant, you massacred the god of war and caused tremendous damage to the interests of our five families! "We are here today to inform you of this matter and ask you to compensate us on behalf of the five world noble families behind us!"
Count Cody. Maud's tone was very strong because his family's world noble, Tyr. Isai. Maud was the most powerful baron among the world noble families in Isai. They knew that Kant had also met Tyr. Isai. Maud. According to Count Cody Maud's thoughts, he had made his stance clear and represented Tyr. Isai. Maud had made his stance clear.
In the face of such a huge difference in strength, Baron Kant had no choice but to accept his fate. Moreover, he wasn't the only one representing Tyr. Isai. Maud had come to force Kant. Instead, the five great noble families of the Dukedom of Leo had joined forces to force Kant.
Kant only said faintly, "Tell me in detail, how did I slaughter the god of War will harm the interests of your family? What compensation do you want from me?"
Count Cody. Maud heard Kant asking for details and only thought that Kant had accepted his fate, his tone was a little more relaxed. "The God of War, Edmund, was once one of our five great families' ally gods. Our family allowed him to spread his faith on the land of the Dukedom of Leo, and he gave us the divine stone as a reward. The divine stone is an important resource for our five great families to fight against the demons. In simple terms, a divine stone is equivalent to the power of ten grand knights when fighting against the demons."
After a pause, Count Cody. Maud continued, "In the past, the God of War paid our five great families ten divine stones every month. Now, in a year, there should be 120 divine stones. Baron Kant, you massacred the God of War. To us five families, it is no less than losing the power of 1,200 grand knights. We are here this time to hope that Baron Kant will compensate us for this!"
Seeing that Kant had already heard the content of the compensation and still had a faint expression, Count Cody. Maud's voice suddenly carried a sense of oppression. He raised his voice by an octave, "Baron Kant, after discussion, our five families have given you two compensation plans."
Count Cody. Maud deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Kant to ask a question, but Kant completely ignored him.
He had no choice but to state these two compensation plans in a threatening tone, "First, you can directly compensate the power of 1,200 grand knights of our five great families. Second, you can use your blood to compensate. A drop of the blood of the world baron can allow a soldier at the peak of the knight realm to advance to the grand knight realm. Given that even the blood of the noble of the world is limited, we only need you to compensate us with 500 drops of your blood!"

Chapter 561: The Scheme of the Nobles
Kant easily noticed the strangeness in their words. A drop of his blood could create a grand knight. Kant himself knew this, and the system had mentioned it when it analyzed Kant's Power of War.
That was the strangeness. Since they were here to ask Kant to compensate them for their losses, who would voluntarily lower the compensation for him? Moreover, they lowered the compensation at a great degree. One way was to ask him to compensate 1,200 grand knight-level powers. This meant 1,200 Swadian Royal Knights, the Sarleon Lion Knights, or the mages of the Enfath Empire. On the surface, this was far more than the value of Kant's 500 drops of blood.
500 drops of blood could only produce 500 grand knights, and they had to provide their own soldiers at the pinnacle of knight-level.
This was too strange. With their way to force Kant to cooperate with them, there was no need for them to do this. According to them, the God of War provided them with 120 divine stones in a year, which was equivalent to 1200 drops of Kant's blood. 1200 drops of blood was too much if Kant lost it all at once, 500 drops was just the right amount.
However, they could choose to let him pay 500 drops first, and then pay them monthly like the God of War, Edmund. If they succeeded in extorting him this time, Kant believed that these guys would not give up on keeping him as a fat sheep like Edmund to harvest the wool on a regular basis.
But this was obviously not the case. They only mentioned that Kant would pay for their losses for a year and did not mention anything about the future. Perhaps in their eyes, Kant did not have a future.
A year's time was precisely the time when Kant's real name completely sank into the bloodline, which meant that Kant's bloodline could already inherit his real name. If Kant had a descendant and Kant died, his descendant could completely awaken his real name, 'Lannister Tolia', continue to control the rules of war through his real name, and ascend to become a new world noble, become another 'Isaiah Lannister Tolia'.
Some thoughts appeared in Kant's mind.
Four top counts of the Dukedom of Leo and Viscount Karl. Cameron stared at Kant, wanting to know Kant's choice of the two compensation options they offered.
There were five world nobles — including the world's most powerful noble Baron Tyr Isai Maud stood behind them. They did not have much doubt as to whether Kant would agree to their compensation options. The only worry was Kant's choice. However, in order to ensure that Kant would choose to use his own blood as compensation, they had already given a huge "discount", so they didn't have much concern.
Kant, who was sitting high in the main seat of the hall, finished the sweet and delicious drink in the exquisite ceramic cup in his right hand. He carefully stared at the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron suddenly said, "I'm very curious, are 500 drops of blood enough to change one's bloodline?"
As Kant spoke, there was a flash of panic in the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron's eyes.
"Impossible. How did Baron Kant know about our plan!" Count Cody. Maud roared loudly in the depths of his heart. At the same time, he cast a suspicious gaze at Viscount Carl. Cameron.
The other three counts did the same.
Viscount Carl. Cameron shook his head slightly, indicating that he himself did not know what was going on. The four top-notch counts naturally would not believe Carl at this time. In their eyes, the interaction of Viscount Carl with Kant just now seemed to be a deliberate act, deliberately showing a ruthless act of brotherhood so that Viscount Carl. Cameron was cleared of the suspicion of betrayal. Of course, this was what the four top-ranking earls thought on purpose.
They would not suspect Grand Duke Cameron, because although Grand Duke Cameron was Kant's biological father, he had already signed an agreement with the world noble families of the four top-ranking counts, the signature was his full real name. After he signed his name, his real name had disappeared from the parchment of the agreement. However, when he signed his name, the aura of rules that blossomed from the pen could prove that he had really signed his real name.
The agreement that he signed with his real name showed that he really wanted his biological son, Kant, who had already become a world noble, to die. Otherwise, the backlash from his real name would not be a joke.
But in any case, Kant had the blood of the Cameron family flowing in his body. In the eyes of the four top counts, perhaps Viscount Carl. Cameron had a different idea from his father. The four top counts unanimously thought so. At this time, Kant's words undoubtedly showed that he already knew their plan — to use Kant's blood to create a new world noble. In the eyes of the four top-ranking counts, this was undoubtedly due to Carl. Cameron's betrayal. In fact, they did not really trust Carl. Cameron would betray, but this time their operation was destined to fail, so they had to find someone to take the blame, right?
Kant's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but this smile had no warmth at all. Kant looked at the four top-level counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron said, "It seems that the five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo want to kill Kant!"
At this moment, Kant was 90% sure that his guess was true. The five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo wanted him dead, and at the same time, they wanted to use his bloodline to give birth to another world noble.
"The peaceful time of this year is because they are waiting for my real name to completely sink into my bloodline, so that my decedent can awaken from the bloodline after my death." Kant thought, the curse-like words of the God of War before he died seemed to echo in his ears.
"You guys shouldn't have given me a year!" Kant felt regretful for mentioning the five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo. They had missed the best opportunity to deal with Kant. At this moment, Kant's eyes revealed a coldness. He suddenly raised his head, and the complicated dark red patterns in the depths of his eyes slowly appeared. The world perspective suddenly changed to the rule perspective. After his real name was completely immersed in his bloodline, only then did Kant have the ability to condense his real name in his eyes and able to enter the world of the rule perspective.
At this time, the world of the rule perspective was different from when he had just become a world noble. Because at this moment, no one was standing on the countless different colored chains of the rules, and no divinity emerged from them and was penetrated by the chains of the rules. So, when he became a world noble that day, all the world's nobles and gods gathered together, was it to witness him becoming a world noble?
Kant's real name, which was formed by the deep red complicated patterns in the corner of his eye, had completely receded, and his perspective returned from the perspective of the rules to a normal perspective. As Kant had expected, the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron did not answer Kant's very straightforward question at all. But from their frightened eyes, Kant still got the answer he wanted. Some answers, especially when one wanted to confirm an answer, did not necessarily need to be clear and specific.
"Harde, send the guest out!" Kant stood up from his high seat in the Hall of the city lord mansion and ordered the Swadian Royal Knight who was standing beside him. After saying that, he walked out of the hall. He wanted to go to the side hall of the to re-analyze the war situation. The enemy suddenly became much stronger. He had already confirmed that he needed to insert the flag representing the five noble families of the Dukedom of Leo into the sand table and insert it into the castle model of their only South County!
"Baron Kant… you… you're not going to kill us?" Cody. Maud's voice was filled with disbelief. As a qualified noble, it was necessary for him to be ruthless. At this time, Kant already knew that the five noble families of the Dukedom of Leo wanted to kill him. If they were in Kant's position, they would definitely kill all five of them. This would weaken the enemy's strength, not only were they five supreme grand knights, but they were also the leaders of the five families. Killing them would severely hit the morale of the five families.
Kant stopped walking and turned to look at the four top-ranking counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron.
The four top-ranking counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron's heart suddenly tightened when they saw Kant suddenly stop walking. They could not help but look at Count Cody. Maud started to complain — would you die if you shut your mouth? However, it was useless to complain now. They quickly checked Kant's expression. After all, they were now in Kant's territory, and they were facing Kant, a man who had already become a world noble, their fate could be said to be completely dependent on Kant's whim.
However, the gaze they saw in Kant's eyes was an indifferent and lofty one. Compared to when Kant sat high above them in the main seat of the city lord mansion, this feeling was even more intense.
"Kill you? Is there a need for me to do that?" Kant calmly answered, "You're just five slightly stronger bugs!"
After saying that, Kant turned around and left. Completely ignoring the reddened faces that had been humiliated by his words. The five nobles who could be said to be standing at the peak of the Dukedom of Leo, other than the world nobles, and who thought of themselves as having an incomparably noble status, could be said to be filled with endless fury.
"Four guests, please!" the Swadian Royal Knight, Harde, used a standard knight's salute to make an inviting gesture. However, this could only mean that he was extremely well-mannered and did not really respect the five people who Kant regarded as "strong bugs". From his words, it was obvious that he no longer regarded these five persons as distinguished guest and did not have any honorific titles. Baron Kant was the only distinguished person in the eyes of these soldiers who came from the system. Since Baron Kant had already expressed his disdain for these five persons, Harde naturally followed, he immediately reacted from his words.
"Baron Kant… If you don't kill us today, I swear that I will definitely make you regret it! I, Cody. Maud swore that in the future, I will definitely make you kneel in front of me. At that time, I want to see if you, Baron Kant, still dare to be so high and mighty like today!" Cody. Maud shouted loudly at Kant's gradually disappearing back.
Harde heard Cody. Maud dared to claim that his noble Lord Kant would kneel in front of him. A golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he punched at Cody. Maud smashed his face. "You, a worm, dare to be disrespectful to Lord Kant?"
Cody. Maud was the descendent of the most powerful baron among world nobles, Tyr. Isai. Moud. He even did not put Grand Duke Cameron, who had not awakened his real name to become a world noble, in his eyes. He had always regarded himself as the most noble person in the Dukedom of Leo. Today, when he was looked down upon by Kant, he was filled with anger, seeing that a small guard under Kant dared to provoke him, a jet-black light flashed on his fist, and he fiercely smashed it towards the fist of Harde.
"I am an elite at the peak of grand knight level, and the attribute of extraordinary power is controlled by my ancestor, Tyr Isai Maud. How can I be inferior to you, a mere guard by Kant's side?" Cody. Moud, who was extremely angry, immediately used his full strength.
"Count Maud, please hold back!" the three top counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron shouted at the same time, "We are still in Baron Kant's territory, you must not act on impulse!"
However, it was a little too late for them to warn him. At this moment, Harde's fist that was suffused with golden King's Power had already collided with Cody. Maud's fist that was suffused with pitch-black destructive power.
Boom!
The entire city lord mansion shook.
Creak!
The flagstones under their feet suddenly made a sound. The three top counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron who heard the sound looked down at their feet and could not help but feel extremely shocked. The flagstones under their feet were already densely packed with cracks — this was the extremely hard "flagstones", it was the same type of bluestone tiles that could withstand the pressure of four to five tons of horse-drawn carriage laid on the East and West Main Road of Lionheart City, yet the two of them was able to create densely packed cracks by stepping on it.
However, what made them even more surprised was that this guard, who looked very valiant, was actually able to block Count Maud's punch that was full of destructive power without any damage. They did not see many people in Lionheart City who dressed like this guard.
It must be known that Count Cody. Maud's combat strength was ranked first among the five of them. Among the five families, there were only a handful of peak grand knights who could fight against Count Maud directly. Those who could fight against him, most of them had to rely on their superior combat skills to block Count Cody. Maud. None of the peak grand knights could fight Count Cody. Maud head-on.

Chapter 562: Kant's Absolute Intimidation
Kant returned to the side hall of the city lord residence, which was decorated with the Dukedom of Leo's sand table.
"The Dukedom of Leo's East County has Baheshtur and soldiers of Sargoth. In addition to the extraordinary strength and two pieces of war equipment that I sent over, it's very easy to destroy the East County. As long as the five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo don't interfere."
"However, it is not suitable to use the previous plan at this time. After the start of the war in the South County, the five world nobles will definitely interfere. With the support of the five world noble fiefdoms, the enemy's strength might become a bottomless pit that I don't know the details of. East County can now completely become my training ground, allowing the recruits to grow rapidly while reducing the losses!"
The nobles in East County were not too strong, and there was only the Countess of the East County, Agatha. Cameron could be considered a noble of the upper class. The rest were only comparable to the small noble families in the South County and were very suitable for Kant's training.
War was like this. When facing the changes, one needed to take appropriate measures in a timely manner. Now that the plan had changed, naturally, he had to inform Baheshtur. At the same time, Kant also had to inform Bunduk, James, Firentis, and Rolf to cooperate with him.
"Donte, go and inform Will. Tell him to contact Baheshtur and tell him that the strategic goal of the East County had changed to focus on training soldiers. At the same time, inform Bunduk, James, Firentis, and Rolf to cooperate with Baheshtur and provide him with militia!" Kant said to another Swadian Royal Knight beside him.
"Yes, my lord!" the Swadian Royal Knight named Donte received the order and left.
After Donte left, Kant fell into deep thought.
Kant's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. At this moment, he no longer had the noble look to face the four top counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron. Even if he became a world noble, he had to act when he had to act.
Kant still remembered the scene when he saw the 51 world nobles in the Eastern District of Lionheart City. What left the deepest impression on Kant was not the extremely powerful aura on their bodies, but the kind of long-time killing and the merciless aura of war. The equipment on their bodies could be said to be extremely ferocious. They could emit with extreme killing intent everywhere. Even the vest on the warhorse had terrifying steel thorns.
Combined with the information Kant obtained from the world will, Kant understood that the world noble should often fight against the demonic army, and they themselves had to personally fight against the powerful demons that invaded. In short, none of the world noble were good people. Their combat ability on the battlefield was absolutely formidable — only long-lived wars could train their ruthless and merciless battle aura.
Then, among their long-term followers, there was definitely no lack of people who were proficient in the way of war. Kant left behind four to counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron's intention was precisely this. Kant would rather have the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl lead the other side when the war began, and not a terrifying guy who came out of the world noble fiefdom after being proficient in the way of war. At his current level, the individual strength of five peak grand knights was indeed nothing to those monsters.
Power was a good thing, especially after Kant had deliberately provoked him this time. He did not believe that the four top counts and Viscount Carl Cameron, who held the authority of the territories outside of five world noble fiefdoms all year round, would hand over their authority. In terms of personal strength and blood closeness, they should not lose out to any clansmen who followed the world's noble.
The attitude of the five world's noble had already become a mortal enemy of Kant. Regardless of whether they gave up the idea of killing Kant, Kant had no intention of letting the five world nobles go. In the beginning, Kant had never thought of making an enemy out of them. 'I rule over everything on the earth and accomplish my ungodly undertaking. You are still in your fiefdoms and call yourselves kings. The two have nothing to do with each other.'
At least from Kant's point of view, this was completely achievable. After all, the fiefdoms of the world noble families were too big, and as a former divine kingdom, most of the land was very rich, as long as the fiefdoms did not inherit the divine kingdoms of gods like the God of Desert and the God of Disaster.
However, Kant had not even revealed his fangs. These world noble families actually wanted to kill him, so Kant naturally would not create his own great emperor throne and use the bones of some noble to lay the foundation.
Kant solemnly placed the flag representing the power of the five world nobles on the castle of the five families in the South County. Kant did not know how strong these five flags represented. However, Kant, who ruled millions of people from the world, had nothing to fear. He did not dare to guess how strong his war potential was.
…
The four top-notch counts of the Dukedom of Leo and Viscount Carl. Cameron returned to the castle on his estate. They had come to Lionheart City as envoys this time. They had thought that they could show off in front of a real world noble, but they did not expect to suffer a great humiliation. At this time, they were simply full of anger. They deeply hated Baron Kant's contempt for them. Especially Count Cody. Maud and Viscount Carl. Cameron's hatred for Kant was the strongest. Even if they were poured by the river water of all rivers, it would be difficult to wash away their hatred for Kant.
With the disappointment of failing the mission, they each passed through the gates left by the five world nobles in the family castle. They successfully entered the fiefdom of the five world nobles and reported the failure of the mission to the five world nobles.
When the four top-ranking counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron reported the mission and left the fiefdom of the five world nobles.
In a closed ordinary living room in a fortress in Tyre. Isai. Maud's demiplane fiefdom, the figures of the five world nobles suddenly appeared. However, if anyone was here, they would be able to tell that the figures of the five world nobles were not real, they were even semi-transparent.
"Ten minutes!" Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's tone was cold.
"Ryan, it seems that there is a lot of pressure in your fief! Do you want me to send an army to support you? Killing a hundred grand knights only requires one kilogram of abyss magic iron as compensation!" Baron Tyr. Isai. Mord said in a joking tone.
Baron Ryan Isai Cameron did not reply.
"Let's get to the main topic as soon as possible!" Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"Baron Kant don't know how to appreciate favors!" Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne's voice was filled with anger.
"Ryan, you tell me! Baron Kant's bloodline plunder plan was proposed by you, and the core spell of the blood exchange was also provided by you. Now that the plan has failed, do you have any supplementary plans?" Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch looked at Ryan. Isai. Cameron, who had a cold expression on his face and spoke.
"War!" Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's voice was still as cold.
The four world barons heard Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's words suddenly became silent.
Although the world noble had a large estate, the pressure was equally great. For every world baron, every year there was a month known as the month of calamity. The exact month was different for different world noble.
Every time the month of calamity descended, the world's will Isai would open a passage connecting to the abyss world, proactively connecting to the demon baron's estate. The abyssal demons that had chaos and destruction as their wills and inherited the aggressive nature of the abyssal will, would almost certainly invade along the passage opened by the World Will Isai. The actions of the World Will Isai were just like how man-eating flowers would trap prey. The abyssal will carried by the demons from the Abyss was the food of the World Will Isai.
If the power of the world noble's fiefdom was insufficient, the world baron might be killed by the demon baron. The world noble was not willing to waste their power for no reason. They wanted to use all means to strengthen themselves. As long as they successfully killed the demons, the world will would not be stingy with rewards, the power of their real names would evolve, and the world's noble title would rise, their fiefdoms would expand.
It could be said that the longer the world's noble families lived, the stronger they would become.
And their own power, as well as the power of the army in the fiefdoms, were the guarantee for their continued survival.
Baron Kant's power, just the army in Lionheart City, was enough to shock them and make them drool.
When Ryan. Isai. Cameron proposed the "Baron Kant's bloodline plunder plan", they could not wait to agree to all of it. Because if the plan succeeded, they would be able to profit from a large number of Baron Kant's powerful army. At the same time, they would be able to enjoy the support of a world baron who had yet to open his fiefdom.
But the plan failed. They were not willing to start a war against Baron Kant. War meant that the army would suffer losses. Although Baron Kant did not have a fiefdom, his strength and power were not inferior to any of them. In fact, he might even stronger.
"September is my month of calamity! I refuse to participate in the war!" Tyr. Isai. Maud did not have the mood to joke anymore and said seriously.
Now, it was already August, and September was coming.
"Noble, meeting, god!" Ryan. Isai. Cameron stared at Tyr. Isai. Maud and spoke.
"Ryan, in the baron-level meeting between the noble and the god, we did promise to kill Baron Kant, to respond to the god's dissatisfaction with the noble, and to save the god from reducing the supply of divine stones to the noble. But there's no need for a war! We can gather the strength of the five of us, and when Baron Kant leaves Lionheart City, we can work together to kill him. Baron Kant hasn't opened his fiefdom at this time. He's the weakest baron. We have a high chance of killing him!" Nathaniel. Isai. Reese looked at Ryan. Isai. Cameron and advised.
"Time!" Ryan. Isai. Cameron said again.
"Time is not a problem. Although we promised a year's time, we only need to pay some abyssal magic iron to offset our excess time in the next baron-level noble and god meeting," Victor. Isai. Enoch defended himself.
"Ten minutes are up!" After saying that, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's figure disappeared, leaving only four world barons in the meeting room.
"August is Ryan's month of calamity. Ryan will propose a war against Baron Kant. It seems that he was lucky enough to meet a weak devil baron this time!" Clark. Isai. Prynne said.
"I always feel that the Cameron family is too scheming. Seven thousand years ago, Edmund was a god raised by the Cameron family, but he died at the hands of Ryan's son, Kant. This Kant was just a child who had nothing two years ago. How did he grow to such a level in just two years?" Tyr. Isai. Maud paused, he continued, "And Ryan's sister, Agatha. I once sneaked into East County to investigate. It was just a flesh and blood clone. There was a hint of a god's representative on the earth. "You should know what this means."
Nathaniel Isai Reese
The baron continued, "That's true. Twenty years ago. Ryan's father, who was still a world noble, brazenly went to the Silver Platter Kingdom alone and kidnapped the princess of the Silver Platter Kingdom, Sophia. We all know that the descendants of god and the descendants of the world noble never intermarried, but Sophia actually gave birth to Kant for Ryan. This Kant is also so monstrous. I wonder if this is a scheme of the Cameron family."
Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch said, "The Cameron family has always been dedicated to researching the noble bloodline and the divine bloodline. This is not a secret, but we don't know if there are any results. Speaking of Kant, my family's spies have seen the Light Domain on him before. I wonder if it originated from his mother, Sophia. If we just look at Kant's growth, it seems that Ryan didn't treat him as a son at all."
Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne said thoughtfully, "Ryan was so eager to take back Baron Kant's bloodline. Could it be that Kant was originally a successful experimental subject, but he treated him as a failure and a waste?"
"It is indeed possible. On the day the God of War was massacred by Kant, Kant became a world noble. The speed is too fast. I don't know if it is related to his half-god and half-noble bloodline." Tyr. Isai. Maud said.
"Alright, let's put away the messy topics. Let's discuss how to lure Baron Kant out of Lionheart City! Killing Baron Kant was a matter of vital interest to us. Currently, every noble can only obtain five divine stones from the gods in a month. Only after completing the decision made by the gods at the baron-level meeting between the nobles and the gods, and killing Baron Kant, will the gods cancel the decision to halve the supply of divine stones." Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch took the initiative to end the discussion about the Cameron family and directly brought the topic to the main business.

Chapter 563: The Discovery of Ancient Ruins
Another month had passed. During this month, the Dukedom of Leo was in a state of war. Every day, envoys would come to Lionheart City to see Kant. They were the envoys of the noble families in the dukedom, they came with the oath of allegiance of the noble families in the East County. However, they did not see Kant.
It was precisely because of their betrayal that Kant was now so cold-hearted. In the blueprint of Kant's new empire, there was no place left for the population of the native world. Perhaps at the beginning of this blueprint, Kant had left a place for them to survive on the land because of the kindness in his heart. However, the discovery of the world noble's fiefdom, the demiplane, allowed Kant to determine the final destination of the population of the native world.
On the square of the large-scale Sargoth Fotress, another group of soldiers who had fought with the noble soldiers in the East County had leveled up. They had fought enough battles and accumulated enough experience points. At this moment, Baheshtur gathered them together and stood in a square formation.
In front of the square formation, there was a wide platform made of solid wood. In the middle of the platform, there was a burning silver brazier. At this moment, the Swadian Royal Knight, was standing beside the silver brazier on the platform. He was holding a thin piece of parchment in his hand.
"Please welcome, Your Highness Kant!" Mande said respectfully to the silver brazier and threw the parchment into the silver brazier. There was nothing on the parchment, but when it fell into the silver brazier, there were dark red complicated patterns on the parchment. This was the parchment on which Kant had written his real name in advance.
And throwing the parchment that had his real name on it into the fire was the way he had set up to call his real name. Once the real name of the world noble was called, they could sense it. Kant had set up this way because the real name of the world noble could never be casually told to others. Because once someone had the real name of the world noble, they could directly control the world nobles through their real name. The world's noble would also become the other party's slave. If the world noble did not want their real name to be directly destroyed by the other party's verbal curse, and thus be beaten down to dust and demoted from a true extraordinary being.
Bang!
In the silver brazier, the flames suddenly increased in height, instantly turning into a deep red color. Immediately after, these flames continuously swayed and changed, and finally, a deep red phantom of Kant was born. It only had the upper body and was completely formed from the deep red flames. The soldiers gathered under the high platform couldn't see Kant's appearance clearly, because Kant's appearance was blurred by the rising dark red flames. However, on the face of this Kant phantom, two amber eyes were as bright as the stars, there were extremely complicated dark red patterns floating in it.
In the information room of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant was sitting upright on a tiger-skin chair. There were also complicated dark red patterns floating in his eyes. This was Kant's newly discovered ability after his real name merged with his bloodline, it was the will projection.
In fact, Kant only needed to use the Power of War to construct his own figure. He could move and speak, but it was not a physical body and had no combat ability. However, since he designed the way to call his real name by burning the parchment with his real name, Kant simply released the Power of War in the flames, indirectly combining the flames and the power of war to construct his own will projection.
The dark red flames formed Kant's will projection. Looking at the gathered soldiers under the high platform, their troop class names suddenly appeared in his mind — Swadian Militia. At this time, Swadian Militia had the option to level up. Moreover, they had two leveling directions — Swadian Footman and Swadian Skirmisher.
"Level up!" Kant said in his mind. "All Swadian Militia will level up to the Swadian Footmen!"
As Kant made his decision, a large black data chain was released from Kant's eyes and wrapped around every Swadian Militia. The coarse linen clothes of the Swadian Militia were instantly replaced by leather armor, at the same time, the wooden spear in their hands was replaced by the exquisite Swadian Footman sword and heater shield. On their waists, a hunting crossbow and a crossbow quiver appeared.
Very quickly, all the Swadian militia were converted into the Swadian Footmen. They would continue to be sent to the more powerful noble estate to fight against the more powerful noble soldiers of the noble estate and continue to accumulate experience points, waiting for the next time they were gathered to level up. Baheshtur, as Kant's general and the hero he summoned, could see whether the soldiers had accumulated enough experience points just like Kant, however, only Kant had the ability to level up the soldiers.
At this moment, on the high platform in front of the Swadian Footmen, Kant's figure formed from the dark red flames in the silver brazier suddenly shook violently and directly collapsed. The dark red flames quickly turned into bright yellow flames with a trace of crimson heat. The flames rapidly descended to their previous height and were still burning fiercely.
"Was that the Supreme Lord Kant, our lord, our ruler, our Miracle King?" A Swadian Footman felt the surging power flowing from his body. This power was much stronger than before, much stronger. He asked the other Swadian Footman who had also completed his level up with extreme respect.
"Yes, I'm really glad that I passed Drondheim's recruitment and could fight for the great Lord Kant. Many guys who are only a Swadian recruit have to go home and train hard for two months if they want to be selected!" another Swadian Footman replied with a very happy tone.
…
In the information room of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant was carefully looking through the information about the upper-class noble families of South County that the spies had been searching for over a year.
There was a total of 97 upper-class nobles in South County, of which 16 were viscounts and 81 were barons. They were all families that had been passed down for more than 300 years. Most of them were once the founding noble families of the Dukedom of Leo. After 300 years of development, the strength of each upper-class noble that had survived to this day could not be underestimated. Moreover, the relationship between each of them was intertwined, and a single incident could affect all of them.
Among the 16 viscounts, two of them were far more powerful than the other viscounts. They were Viscount Porter and Viscount George. In terms of strength on the surface, they were not inferior to the four top counts. They all had the strength of ten grand knights. Noble families were such hypocrites. They all hid their true strength, just like how a poisonous snake hid its fangs, a lion and a tiger hid their claws and teeth. They would only reveal all the strength of their family when needed.
According to the investigation of Kant's spies, these two Viscount Porter and Viscount George, who were regarded as the top-tier noble families in the Dukedom of Leo, had at least 100 grand knight level subordinates or clansmen. The other 14 upper-level noble viscounts also had 30 to 50 grand knight-level subordinates. The average upper-level noble baron had between 10 to 30 grand knights in his family.
What limited the strength of these families' grand knights was not the number of knights at the peak of knight-level, but the rare resources that were needed to advance from the peak of knight-level to grand knight-level. The stronger the family was, the more precious resources they would obtain. They would be able to let the grand knights in the family guide more knights at the peak of the Knight Realm to advance to the Grand Knight Realm.
Moreover, these upper-class noble families with ancient inheritances obviously could not use all the precious resources they had obtained. They would definitely keep some as reserves. Therefore, if they were to calculate seriously, the number of grand knights of these upper-class noble families should be doubled.
At least 5000 grand knights.
This number was even a conservative number because the spies belonging to Kant might not be able to detect all the powers of those noble families.
Kant currently had more than 3000 soldiers with extraordinary powers, including 1000 mages of the Enfath Empire.
The Sword of the King could continuously bestow the Swadian Knight as the Swadian Royal Knight, but it required a large amount of reputation. The Sarleon Lion Knights had an extremely perfect training and training system for soldiers. As long as it was a level-4 cavalry, they could eventually be trained by the Sarleon Lion Knights to become the Sarleon Lion Knights, but it would take time. As for the apprentice dormitories, they could allow Kant to continuously recruit mage apprentices. After the war, they could quickly advance to become the mages of the Enfath Empire.
It seemed that the number of soldiers with extraordinary powers that Kevin possessed was less than the number of grand knights that the upper-class noble families, excluding the four top noble families and the Cameron family, combined. However, the Power of War was not so easy to calculate. Kevin's soldiers with extraordinary powers were directly upgraded by the system. At the same time, they possessed extremely powerful battlefield experience. Therefore, they were completely capable of crushing ordinary grand knights, they were even on par with the peak grand knights of this world.
Therefore, although the power of the upper-class noble families looked terrifying, it was nothing to Kant. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to consider the factors of the five great world noble families, Kant would have already taken down the East County, and he would have already started to take down the South County.
With the addition of the five great world noble families, Kant was currently working hard to send spies into the demiplane that the five great world noble families were conferred. He wanted to figure out how powerful the five great noble families were.
Like the saying, 'Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles'.
In any case, Kant would only become stronger and stronger as time passed. Therefore, he could train his troops in the East County while waiting for the results of the spies' investigation. If they really could not find out anything, it did not matter. Kant would then take the initiative to start a war. With the system, he was not afraid of war. The only reason he did so now was to reduce the losses as much as possible. Because Kant had decided to lead his troops to reclaim the demiplane fiefdom in Nahrin Desert after completely occupying the Dukedom of Leo. It was definitely not as easy as conquering the Dukedom of Leo.
After studying the information of the upper-class noble families in the South County, Kant went to the sand table in the side hall of the city lord mansion. Facing the sand table, Kant started to deduce the war against the South County.
There were three routes for the war against the South County. First, he would directly send troops from Lionheart City and fight all the way until he occupied the entire South County. However, this route would first have to face the Cameron family's Lion Fort.
Secondly, the troops in Lionheart City would not move. Instead, he would send troops from the center of the South County, Jelkala, and fight all the way until he occupied the entire South County. However, this route required a large number of troops to be deployed to Jelkala. Currently, Jelkala only had 5,000 soldiers guarding it.
On the other hand, Lionheart City and Jelkala worked together to pincer the remaining half of the South County. If they did so, they would have to face the problem of route 1 and route 2 at the same time. However, the advantage was that the two parallel routes could be pushed forward quickly, it would greatly shorten the war process.
Just as Kant was thinking about which war route to choose, a Swadian Royal Knight walked over and said to Kant, "Lord, Viscount Porter and Viscount George came together, claiming that they want to pledge their allegiance to you!"
"Viscount Porter and Viscount George, the two most powerful viscounts among the upper-class nobles, actually want to pledge their allegiance to me?" Kant seemed to have heard something ridiculous. The East County was being treated as a place for him to train new recruits. The East County's noble families were suffering unspeakably and would continuously send envoys to express their desire to seek refuge with him. This was something that Kant could understand. After all, in their situation, it was as if they were in a desperate situation, no matter what method was used, there was no harm in giving it a try. If Kant agreed to their allegiance, wouldn't they be able to avoid the ravages of the flames of war?
However, the sudden defection of Viscount Porter and Viscount George was very confusing. Because until now, all the nobles who intended to pledge allegiance to Kant, Kant had expressed his refusal, except for those noble emissaries from the eastern county who had been left out.
Under such circumstances, if Viscount Porter and Viscount George still dared to pledge allegiance to him, it was simply asking for humiliation. Kant would not act as if he was willing to pledge his allegiance to them just because they were some top-notch nobles of the Dukedom of Leo.
"A family that is able to develop to the level of a top noble of the Dukedom of Leo under the suppression of the four top counts and the Cameron family should be able to easily see that I do not accept anyone's pledge of allegiance!" Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, Viscount Porter and Viscount George's actions were really bringing shame upon themselves.
Lionheart City was not like the other cities of Kant. they did not care about the population of this world and would expel them at any time. Instead, Lionheart City had been as open as before, the population of any country and power in this world would be easily approved if they wanted to settle down here. Therefore, after Viscount Porter and Viscount George left the city lord mansion this time, there would probably be rumors about them kissing Kant's cold butt. This was a great humiliation for the two viscounts.
Kant did not believe that the two viscounts would not notice such a simple thing. There were also things that could make a noble suffer humiliation. There were such things, and the conditions were not high, as long as they could bring them enough huge benefits.
Anything out of the ordinary was a demon.
In the main hall of the city lord mansion of Lionheart City, Kant sat at the head of the table.
"Lord Kant, Viscount George and I have jointly explored an ancient ruin and discovered a treasure. However, Viscount Carl. Cameron and the four counts of the South County have jointly threatened us to hand over the treasure to them! Our two families' influence is not smaller than theirs. We really cannot tolerate the five families bullying us like this. In all of the Dukedom of Leo, only Lord Kant's power can easily crush the power of our two families, so we want to join you and ask for your protection. For this, we are willing to offer you the treasure that all five families want to seize."

Chapter 564: The Treasures of the Ancient Ruins
"Ancient ruins? The treasures coveted by the five great families?" Kant's expression was a bit strange, but it wasn't a smile. He knew very well that behind the five great families stood the world noble families. If these two guys really discovered something extraordinary and the five great world noble families took a fancy to it at the same time, and they could still come here unscathed and act as if they had pledged allegiance to Kant?
"If it wasn't the treasure that caught the attention of the five great noble families, but the four top-notch counts and Carl, then the words of these two fellows could stand up to scrutiny. Based on the incident twelve years ago when these two fellows had attempted to invade Lionheart City together with the four great families, they really regarded their own family as an existence on the same level as the Cameron family and the four top-notch count families of the Dukedom of Leo." Kant then changed his perspective to think about it, he found that the words of these two fellows might not be empty words or trying to deceive him.
"Then tell me, where is the ancient ruin that you found? What is the treasure that you found? Did you bring it here?" Kant looked down at the two top viscounts of the Dukedom of Leo from above, he carefully observed the expressions on their faces. When Kant asked, Viscount Porter and Viscount George were very calm, and their expressions were very natural. This kind of performance often meant that they were not lying. Of course, there was a high possibility that their acting skills were superb — Kant was more inclined to the latter.
Viscount Porter slightly considered his words, only then did he answer Kant's question. "Your Highness, the ancient ruins that we discovered were at the bottom of the Resniston River. That place happened to be the place where my manor and Viscount George's manor intersected. At that time, it was one of my soldiers who accidentally fell into the water and sank into the entrance of the ancient ruins. After that, I secretly sent my subordinates to investigate. However, my actions could be concealed from the other noble families, but not from Viscount George. You should know that he has always regarded me as his greatest enemy. He thinks that I am his greatest competitor for the sixth count of the Dukedom of Leo."
Viscount Porter paused for a moment, then he continued, "Therefore, this guy has been paying special attention to all my actions. "In the end, on the third week of my exploration of the ancient ruins, Viscount George discovered my secret. He unreasonably sent out a team to secretly explore the ancient ruins. Our strength is about the same, and I can't do anything to him. I knew that he wanted to get the good stuff in the ancient ruins before me. At that time, we were still in a fierce competition. Because of his participation, I was forced to order my family's exploration team to speed up the progress, even if it meant taking a little risk."
Viscount Porter spoke for a long time and sneaked a glance at Baron Kant, who was sitting on the main seat. He saw that he was listening very seriously, Viscount Porter continued, "Ancient ruins are not easy to explore. There are many dangers that we have never heard of or seen before. In the ancient ruins, many places are pitch-black. There are even some places that cannot be illuminated by torches. Sometimes, terrifying demonized creatures would leap out of the terrible darkness. "Your Highness, you have built a grand city on the Senwaya Mountain Range. You must know how terrifying the savage demonized creatures are. "None of the demonized creatures in the ruins are weaker than the common savage creatures. Sometimes, the branches of an ordinary-looking tree would suddenly tie up the soldiers who came close to it, and terrifying roots would grow out of the branches. In just a short while, even the soldiers at the peak of the knight level would be sucked into a piece of human skin wrapped around bones by the terrifying branches."
After another pause, Baron Porter took a sip of the drink served by his attendant, he continued, "It was precisely because of this that Viscount George and I were the first to send out a team to explore the ancient ruins. Before we could even explore half of it, we were completely annihilated. At that time, Viscount George and I truly realized the difficulty of exploring the ancient ruins. The entrance to the ancient ruins was at the bottom of the river, which was at the junction of Viscount George's Manor and mine. In order to not repeat the previous mistakes, Viscount George and I had a negotiation. In the end, we finally reached an agreement. Together, we will send out soldiers to form a second expedition team and continue to explore cautiously…"
Kant sat on the main seat and watching Viscount Porter's spittle flying everywhere. Suddenly, he said, "Harde, I have some questions to ask Viscount Porter alone while take Viscount George to a walk in the garden."
At this time, Viscount Porter naturally stopped what he was saying, and at the same time, his heartbeat was also raised.
The two viscounts came to "seek Kant's protection", so they did not dare to go against Kant's will. Harde brought Viscount George out.
"Viscount Porter, please answer me. When did you sign the agreement with Viscount George? How many parchments were written in your agreement? At the same time, what color and size did you obtain the treasure? Where is it now? Also, be careful, don't spout nonsense anymore! Answer my question directly!"
Hearing Kant's question, Viscount Porter was so nervous that his scalp went numb. Cold sweat dripped down from his face.
"This… this…" Viscount Porter did not have the momentum of eloquence at all. He stuttered and did not answer a single question.
"Is it difficult to answer my question?" Kant's voice became slightly cold.
"No… No, Your Highness Kant, I am trying to recall it carefully! You know, people in high positions like us have to deal with many things every day!" Viscount Porter racked his brain and answered Kant's question with difficulty.
"I remember now… Your Highness Kant, I remember now!" Viscount Porter seemed to have really recalled the answer to Kant's question, he quickly said, "Lord Kant, I signed an agreement with Viscount George one year ago, on the 18th of June! "It has been more than a year since then, and that agreement was written on six parchments. "The treasure we obtained is a black crown, which is much larger than an ordinary crown. It is now in my manor."
"Dunde, bring Viscount Porter outside the mansion for a walk. Come back in five minutes!" Kant instructed another Swadian Royal Knight.
"Yes, my lord!" the Swadian Royal Knight received the order and brought Viscount Porter out of the castellan's mansion of Lionheart City.
"Newt! Go and bring back Harde and Viscount George!" Kant thought about Viscount Porter's words. After listening to Viscount Porter's description, Kant instructed another Swadian Royal Knight.
When Viscount George returned to the main hall of the castellan mansion, Kant used the same question to ask him.
At first, Viscount George were in a bit of a dilemma like Viscount Porter just now. After a while, Viscount George replied, "Your Highness Lord Kant, I signed an agreement with Viscount Porter four months ago, on the 17th of May. That agreement was written on two pages of goatskin paper. The treasure we obtained was a black crown, which was larger than an ordinary crown. It is now in the manor of Viscount Porter."
Kant smiled and said, "It seems that Viscount Porter was right. Viscount George has indeed regarded Viscount Porter as the biggest competitor to become the sixth count of the Dukedom of Leo. As for the matter between the two of you, remember it more firmly! Viscount Porter does not remember the agreement you signed four months ago. He said that the date of the agreement you signed was one year ago, June 18th. Viscount George, I believe you also remember what agreement you signed with Viscount Porter on June 18th last year, right?"
Viscount George's face instantly turned pale when he heard Kant's words.
On June 18th last year, Viscount George did sign an agreement with Viscount Porter. And it was a more important agreement that was not implemented in the end.
…
"Porter, you idiot, the last agreement that we signed was signed on the 17th of May this year. How did you reply that it was signed on the 18th of June last year? We also signed an agreement during this period!" Viscount George and Porter left Lionheart City. On the horse, he constantly complained that Viscount Porter had ruined things.
"Hey, George, you stupid pig! You still have the nerve to say that! Don't you think that ancient ruins are so easy to explore? From the time we signed the agreement to the time we finally obtained the treasure, for sure it would take a long time. This way, the treasure we obtained would be more precious, and it would be able to attract Baron Kant to leave Lionheart City!" Baron Porter was so embarrassed that he became angry. Instead, he blamed George, "Moreover, the agreement we signed on June 18th last year was originally an agreement to jointly invade Baron Kant's salt mine in the Nahrin Desert. If the timing is right, when we face Baron Kant, we would also involuntarily think about it, alright?! So, George, you are a stupid pig! You caused me to lose the precious resources that could nurture thirty grand knights! The promises made by the five great families were enough to make up for the losses I suffered in the ancient ruins!"
…
After Kant expelled the two viscounts of the South County who had proven that they had lied to him, he thought to himself, "What are their motives? "Judging from the heartache that the Viscount of Porter revealed when he talked about how his own expedition team was completely annihilated, there is a high chance that the ancient ruins really do exist. As for the so-called treasure — a black crown — the two of them had said the same thing. Obviously, if it wasn't for the agreement, if it wasn't for the black crown, it really did exist!"
"The five great families and the two viscounts who pledged their loyalty to offer the treasure but placed it in the manor. This should be a conspiracy set up by them. I might as well follow the route set by these guys and think about it: because I coveted the treasure that was coveted by the five great families at the same time, I agreed to protect the two viscounts, so I must ask them to offer the treasure. The two viscounts can tell me at this time that there must be a reason for them to place the treasure in Viscount Porter's manor. I need to go and retrieve it personally." Kant thought of this, he felt that he had already guessed most of the opponent's conspiracy.
He would not forget that there were still five world noble families in the South County who wanted to kill him. In Lionheart City, there were close to a large number of Swadian Royal Knights, Sarleon Lion Knights, and the mages of the Enfath Empire guarding it. Even if five world noble families came, Kant would not be afraid. However, if he left Lionheart City and did not bring his army and faced five world nobles, Kant was not confident that he would be able to survive.
"Let's wait another month. If there is still no news from the five great world noble families, I will directly attack the South County! One month later, the East County had almost lost its value! After all, even if it was a training ground, it was still a real battlefield. There were people dying all the time. It's just that compared to the previously planned battlefield, the duration of the war has been increased by many times," Kant thought. "This way, I might have a chance to see what kind of treasure that so-called black crown is. It can make the five world noble families believe that it can attract me and personally take it."
Kant understood that if he was really wanted to see the treasure, he would first use the projection of his will to observe the treasure. Only if the treasure was really attractive enough, he could personally go and retrieve it. As an experienced noble, the five world nobles would naturally use the projection of their will and take Kant's ability into consideration. Therefore, that black crown should really be a very valuable treasure.
These were all Kant's speculations, but they were already close to the truth.
…
In Tyr. Isai. Maud's demiplane fiefdom, was currently under the flames of war. It was already September, and it was officially his month of calamity. However, he was indeed worthy of being the most powerful existence among the world barons in Isai. He easily suppressed a demon from the Abyss and attacked crazily. At the same time, he was able to divert a portion of his attention. He created a projection and held a meeting with the other four world nobles.
The location was still Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud's fiefdom, in the same meeting room in the fortress.
"Ryan, the Crown of Darkness that you provided doesn't seem to be as irresistible to Baron Kant as you said, right?" Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud bluntly said to Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron.
"Kant's mother, Sophia, was the Radiant Saintess of the Radiant Church in the Silver Platter Kingdom. How could the bloodline she gave birth to be attracted to an extraordinary item like the Crown of Darkness? Ryan, a spy of my family, has seen Baron Kant use his radiant domain!" Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch also said impolitely.
The four world nobles all pushed the blame onto Ryan. Isai. As Kant's father, he did not seem to understand Kant at all. He actually took out an extraordinary item that was not attractive to Kant in an attempt to lure Kant out of Lionheart City.
"Porter and George!" Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's words were very stiff, he only used a few words to convey his thoughts.
The four world nobles had dealt with him for a long time, so they naturally knew Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was pushing the responsibility to the two viscounts, Viscount Porter and Viscount George, who were promised heavy benefits by the five families to perform in front of Kant.
"Show the crown!" Without waiting for the other noble families to respond, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron once again said with a cold voice. Then, his figure disappeared, and he actually left just like that.

Chapter 565: The Conspiracy of the World Noble
Time passed quietly. Three days had passed since Kant had ordered Viscount Porter and Viscount George to be expelled. When Kant was reading in the castellan mansion, he suddenly felt an inexplicable aura erupting from the north, this aura gave Kant a deep and pure feeling of darkness. Most importantly, Kant actually felt a strong attraction from that dark aura. He could even faintly feel the throbbing of his own bloodline. At the same time, a desire to get close to that aura burst out from Kant's heart.
"That aura, what is it? It can actually have such a big effect on me?" Kant suddenly stood up from the tiger-skin chair, his expression changing abruptly.
At this moment, in the Lion Fort 50 kilometers north of Lionheart City, five world nobles were gathered.
Each of the five world nobles had a ball of extraordinary power with an astonishing aura and different colors in their hands. It continuously surged into a pitch-black crown in the middle of the five world nobles.
Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud's extraordinary power was the most powerful — the black Power of Destruction. Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch's extraordinary power aura was ranked second — the purple Power of Lightning. Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese's aura of extraordinary power was ranked third — the red Power of Fire. Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne's aura of extraordinary power was ranked fourth — the blue Power of Ice, and Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's aura of extraordinary power was the weakest — the gray Power of Curse.
Five different colors of extraordinary power at the level of a world baron were continuously released from the hands of the five world barons, and then poured into the black crown between them. The black crown was like a bottomless pit, it continuously devoured the extraordinary powers of the five world barons. At the same time, the surface of the crown emitted a pitch-black glow. An extremely shocking pure darkness aura was emitted from the pitch-black glow, it continuously spread in all directions.
"Ryan, what is the origin of this Crown of Darkness? Other than my Power of Destruction and your Power of Curse being slightly tainted by the darkness attribute, the power of rules of Viktor, Nathaniel, and Clark have nothing to do with the rules of darkness. How can it be completely absorbed by this Crown of Darkness?" Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud looked at the Crown of Darkness, which was constantly devouring his Power of Destruction. In surprise, he directed his doubts towards the owner of the Crown of Darkness, Ryan. Isai. Cameron.
Ryan. Isai. Baron Cameron only silently transmitted the Power of the Curse and did not answer Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud's question. The other four barons were also used to such a situation.
"Is this really useful? Just by relying on the aura that this Crown of Darkness emitted after it was activated by our power of rules, can it attract Baron Kant over?" Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese looked at Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron with some doubt and asked. He really could not believe such a thing. However, at this moment, he had no choice but to agree to this method.
"Continue!" Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron replied to Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese's words.
"Tyr, what kind of demon did you encounter this month? How did you eliminate it so quickly? We thought it would take at least a week to implement this plan." Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne asked Tyr. Isai. Maud curiously.
"Well, I was just lucky enough to encounter a newborn demon baron. It's a supreme demon that controls the power of lava." Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud gave a simple reply.
Then, the five world nobles quieted down again. They silently transferred the power of rules to the Crown of Darkness, which was used to stimulate the Crown of Darkness to emit a pure and enormous dark aura.
They persisted for three days and three nights. Three days and three nights without rest was nothing to the world noble. However, after enduring for so long, the five world nobles did not see any sign of Kant coming here. During that time, the four world nobles constantly questioned Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron but he did not move at all. Every time a world noble wanted to give up, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron would say the word "war" in a stiff tone. With no other choice, the four world barons could only persevere, insisting on this plan that was absolutely ridiculous in their eyes. No matter what plan it was, it was better than fighting Baron Kant, who had a terrifying army.
To them, using the power of rules at this level didn't affect them at all. The consumption of the power of rules was slower than the speed of recovery. This was because their power came from the rules represented by their real names. As long as they didn't use too much power of rules in an instant, their power would be endless.
Other than Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, the attitude of the four world nobles at the beginning was rather perfunctory. However, three days later, they suddenly felt an intense aura of the rule power of war erupting from Lionheart City, fifty kilometers to the south. This aura was filled with anxiety, anger, confusion, and endure. They immediately realized that Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's plan had worked. It was not that Baron Kant was not attracted to it, but he had been enduring it bitterly.
At this moment, Kant felt extremely agitated in the castellan mansion of Lionheart City. That deep and pure dark aura was constantly erupting in the north. It was like a blooming poppy flower that had a fatal attraction to him. However, Kant had no idea what was going on. He had been enduring it bitterly.
It was not that Kant did not know what was going on with that aura of darkness. It was that he did not know what was going on with him. He had actually been lured by that aura. If it was not for his strong willpower, he would probably have rushed towards the source of that aura without caring about anything else.
However, Kant knew that this must be a conspiracy of the five world nobles. A conspiracy to lure him out of Lionheart City, it was very obvious. The other party seemed to have expected that the dark aura had such an attraction to him and had been continuously maintaining the eruption of the dark aura. Without thinking much, Kant knew that this dark aura should have been emitted by the black crown that Viscount Porter and Viscount George had mentioned a few days ago. Kant deduced that this crown was an important tool that the other party used to attract his attention.

Chapter 567: Level Up of Extraordinary Item
Kant approached the first treasure chest. Inside was a fiery red ore the size of a watermelon. He touched the red ore with his hand, and it was cold to the touch. This ore was called scarlet flame ore, and it contained the extraordinary power of the fire attribute. However, the extraordinary power of the fire attribute was completely sealed in this scarlet flame ore, not leaking a single bit. If this red flame ore was used as an advancement resource, a soldier at the peak knight could successfully advance to become a grand knight with the guidance of a grand knight.
Kant had long had experience in how the extraordinary necklace, 'Glory, Protection of Serenity', absorbed the extraordinary power from the precious resources that contained extraordinary power. Hence, he was very familiar with it and was very handy with it.
"'Glory, Protection of Serenity', absorb it!' a thought flashed through Kant's mind, the necklace he was wearing on his neck immediately emitted a pure emerald-green light. This green light slowly spread from the necklace on Kant's neck, like a soft silky green silk. It slowly spread to the fiery red scarlet flame ore in the treasure chest in front of Kant, gradually enveloping the entire scarlet flame ore. It was like a green silk wrapping around the fiery red scarlet flame ore, without a single gap.
When the green light from the necklace wrapped around the fiery red ore, a streak of fiery red light suddenly flowed out from the red ore, it directly flowed into the emerald light that wrapped around it like a silk cloth. Kant could see that this streak of fiery red light began to flow against the continuous green light, it converged towards the emerald-green 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace.
However, as the originally fiery-red light rose higher and higher against the green light, its color began to gradually change, gradually turning from crimson to pure emerald-green, it completely merged into the emerald-green light that was originally emitted from the necklace.
As the fiery-red light flowed out, the originally watermelon-sized red flame ore quietly collapsed and turned into a ball of gray-white dust that was laid at the bottom of the first yew wooden treasure chest. At the same time, the emerald-green light began to shrink and quickly returned to the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace that Kant wore around his neck.
At this moment, the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' attribute on Kant's retina did not change at all. Kant had long known that this was the case. He guessed that this necklace would only undergo a sudden change in its attribute after it absorbed enough extraordinary power. Instead of absorbing a bit of extraordinary power, its attribute would increase by a bit.
The extraordinary necklace 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' absorbed the extraordinary power in the scarlet flame ore. It sounded like a lot, but the process was very fast. In just twenty to thirty seconds, the extraordinary power in the scarlet flame ore was completely absorbed, turning the scarlet flame ore into a ball of gray-white dust. After it had absorbed the extraordinary power in the scarlet flame ore, Kant did not stop. He immediately took a step forward and arrived in front of the second treasure chest that contained another precious resource that contained extraordinary power.
In this treasure chest was a piece of silver-white crystal. In the center of the crystal, a ball of silver-white light could be seen converging into the shape of a curved silver crescent. This kind of crystal was called the moonlight crystal. Grand knights who relied on this crystal as an advancement resource would have the power of moonlight as an extraordinary power. At night, they would be stronger than grand knights of the same level. However, during the day, they would be weaker than grand knights of the same level. When there was a full moon, they would be at their strongest strength.
After spending 20 to 30 seconds, Kant once again used the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace to absorb all the extraordinary power in the moonlight crystal, the beautiful and magnificent moonlight crystal directly turned into grains of silver-white sand and laid at the bottom of the second treasure chest.
Then, Kant went to the third treasure chest without stopping. In the third treasure chest, there was a sealed long-necked spherical crystal bottle. Inside the crystal bottle, there was a bright yellow semi-transparent liquid that was constantly rolling and making crackling sounds. In fact, the things in the long-necked spherical crystal bottle only looked like liquid — they were not liquid, but plasma. Countless lightning condensed things, extraordinary powers with extremely dense lightning attributes. Grand knights who successfully advanced with such precious resources would have the power of lightning as an extraordinary power, and their speed and strength would be greatly increased.
After spending another 20 to 30 seconds, Kant let the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace absorb all of the power of lightning from the plasma in the long-necked spherical crystal bottle, the plasma that looked like a dazzling liquid turned into a small white crystal. Its volume was at least dozens of times smaller than the plasma from before.
…
Frost essence, cursed flower, poisonous tooth, hallucinogenic light, twining vine, shadow ball, hard iron ore… there were many precious resources that contained extraordinary powers.
Some of these resources were quite common. There were several or even dozens of them, while others were very rare. There was only one of each. Regardless of whether it was common or rare, Kant did not hesitate at all.
One after another, precious resources that could allow a peak knight to become a grand knight and obtain all kinds of extraordinary powers were absorbed by the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity', they turned into a pile of trash or a pile of dust. There was even nothing left.
One, two, three… ten, 20, 30… 100, 200, 300… 900…
The treasure chests in the main hall of the castellan mansion changed batch after batch.
Kant had always let the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' devour the precious resources that contained extraordinary powers. At this moment, it had already devoured almost a thousand of them. However, the attributes of the necklace on Kant's retina were still the same as before. There was no change at all. Kant himself did not expect that he would actually have so many precious resources, but with so many precious resources being absorbed, the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' had yet to level up.
Seeing that the precious resources that contained extraordinary power were decreasing one by one, there were only a few dozen left. Kant could not help but feel a little impatient, especially when the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace was absorbing extraordinary power, he had to endure the temptation of the deep and pure dark aura from the north that had a near-fatal attraction to him. the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' necklace that absorbed so many precious resources that contained extraordinary powers, yet its first special effect didn't change at all.
"Endure… endure… there are still dozens of precious resources. If it can't level up after absorbing all of them, I'll make other plans!" Kant used his great willpower to suppress the restless emotions in his heart.
The remaining extraordinary powers of the precious resources were absorbed by the 'Glory, Protection of Serenity' one by one.

Chapter 568: The Necklace Eventually Leveled Up
"Endure… endure… there are still dozens of precious resources. If it can't level up after absorbing all of them, I'll make other plans!" Kant used his great willpower to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
The remaining extraordinary powers in the precious resources were absorbed by the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' one by one.
At this moment, there was only one remaining resource that contained extraordinary power. The 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' had already absorbed the extraordinary power of 998 rare resources, and there was no movement at all.
"Don't tell me I need a total of 1,000 rare resources that contain extraordinary power?" Kant's face darkened as he guessed. He only had 999 rare resources, and now there was only one left. A deep sense of despair and unwillingness brewed in Kant's heart, and he felt a little regretful.
What could be worse than doing something with hope, but the hope in his heart would be extinguished a little bit every time he completed a task. Especially when he knew that there was only a sliver of a gap between him and success. This sliver was usually nothing, but at the critical moment, it was like a deep valley of despair making people felt hopeless.
A precious item that contained extraordinary power was nothing to Kant, but he did not have time now. If the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' did not level up, he could only be manipulated by the temptation that he had endured and suppressed to the extreme in his heart. He stepped recklessly into the conspiracy and trap that seemed to be prepared by the enemy at first glance.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, let the last precious resource that contains extraordinary power be absorbed by the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' necklace!" Kant used all his will, he endured bitterly and almost walked to the last treasure chest of the last batch.
In the treasure chest, there was a seed that was the size of a watermelon lying quietly. The amber-like bright red color was very eye-catching. This seed was very similar to an oak seed, but it was hundreds of times bigger than an oak seed.
Kant did not know what kind of seed it was. He only needed to know that this seed had extraordinary power.
"'Glory. Protection of Serenity'. Absorb it!" Kant thought, the necklace on his neck immediately emitted a pure emerald light. The green light slowly spread from the necklace on Kant's neck like a silky green silk, it slowly spread to the bright red "Large Oak Seed" in the treasure chest in front of Kant, gradually wrapping the entire "Large Oak Seed" within it. It was like a green silk wrapping the bright red "Large Oak Seed" without a single gap.
At this moment, a majestic emerald-green light poured out from the "Large Oak Seed". The emerald-green light that rushed out from the "Large Oak Seed". It seemed to be exactly the same as the emerald-green light that flowed out from the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity', the emerald-green light rushed into the "'Glory. Protection of Serenity' like a tsunami.
Kant widened his eyes in surprise.
"This… What's going on with this seed? "It actually possesses such a majestic extraordinary power. Even I feel extremely small in front of the power that surged out from it! I… I'm a world noble, an existence that controls the rules of war… I actually… I actually feel small in front of a seed… is there… is there anything more ridiculous than this?"
Kant thought in shock. At this moment, the words on Kant's retina suddenly changed.
[ Glory. Protection of Serenity (viscount-level, upgradable) ]
[ one of the components of the extraordinary set "Glory" that can penetrate eternity and fall into the void, necklace ]
[ This is a top-grade necklace made of the highest-grade magic crystals. It has magical powers. It can survive through time and become immortal. It can fall into the void and remain undamaged. However, a long time has caused most of its power to be lost. Although it is still noble and eternal in nature, it no longer has much power. ]
[ Special effect:
Tranquil Mind: the wearer can have a tranquil mind that is unshaken by external things. In any chaotic and stimulating environment, the wearer can take the initiative to maintain absolute calmness and tranquility.
Serenity's Protection: When the wearer suffers a fatal attack, this special effect will automatically activate, blocking a fatal attack for the wearer. Cooldown time: one week.
Sequence of Protector — Spirit of War: Active special Effect. the wearer can directly summon his own personal protector — spirit of war, number 100. The spirit of war is one level weaker than the wearer.
Nature's Favor: Active special effect. Active effect — the sun is gentle for you, clouds follow you, mountains and rivers prosperous for you; grass and trees whisper to you, flowers smile at you, birds sing for you, animals listen to you.
Glory: Take the initiative to reveal the eternal and noble glory of a king, making the bathers loyal to you until death. This special effect is the ultimate special effect of the extraordinary equipment set "Glory". It can only be activated by wearing all the "Glory" components. ]
[ Remark: Glory. Protection of Serenity has lost almost all of its power over the long period of time. Through absorbing the extraordinary power, it can be upgraded and gradually recover its former power. Level up: Leveled up once! ]
At the same time, the deep and pure dark aura from the north, which Kant had endured to the limit, could no longer shake Kant's will. The originally strong temptation suddenly became indistinct.
Kant understood that the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' had leveled up, although the attributes of special effect 1 did not change, the effect was indeed many times stronger. It easily suppressed the temptation of Kant, who could not resist the deep and pure dark aura even after he had activated the special effect 'Tranquil Mind'.
Kant suddenly felt extremely relaxed, just like a person unloaded a heavy load. He felt extremely relaxed.
'It seems that my guess is wrong, the level up of 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' should be related to the quantity and quality of the extraordinary power absorbed. It doesn't have much to do with the number of the precious resources. Fortunately, the last 'Large Oak Seed' with extraordinary powers is powerful enough.'
At this time, Kant found that the 'Large Oak Seed' in the treasure chest had shrunk in size, but it was still surging with a majestic emerald-green extraordinary power.

Chapter 569: Speculations About the Holy Spirit
" 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' stop!" Kant quickly sent out this thought in his mind. Once Kant's thought was sent out, the green light that enveloped the "Large Oak Seed" in the treasure chest returned to the orange necklace around Kant's neck like a tide, and the "Large Oak Seed" no longer spewed out emerald-green extraordinary powers.
Kant believed that the "Large Oak Seed" had produced so many extraordinary powers that Kant even felt insignificant. It was definitely extraordinary. He did not know that the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' had absorbed so many extraordinary powers. Was this seed still usable? At first, it was as big as a basketball, but now that the necklace had absorbed a large amount of extraordinary power, it was only as big as a soccer ball. Although it seemed to have shrunk in size, in reality, its size was at least half of its original size.
"This 'Large Oak Seed', what is it?" Kant felt relaxed and no longer felt any pressure. He could not help but think. Kant did not recognize this 'Large Oak Seed'.
[ System, what kind of seed do you think this is? It actually possesses such powerful extraordinary power? ] Kant could not help but ask the system in his mind. The system had always given Kant a feeling of omniscience and omnipotence. This 'Large Oak Seed' was so extraordinary, but the mages of the Enfath Empire under him treated it as an ordinary rare resource. It was obvious that the mages did not know what this 'Large Oak Seed' was. Fortunately, they did not know what this "Large Oak Seed" was, allowing Kant to level up the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' successfully. Otherwise, Kant would have felt that he would be doomed.
[ Seed of World Tree, reduced to Tree of Life's Seed ] The system was indeed extremely profound. As soon as Kant's question was raised, it immediately answered him. Kant could even feel that the system was sending a sense of regret to his mind.
Looking at the words on his retina, Kant was dumbstruck.
"The World Tree, is it the kind of World Tree that can directly derive worlds on tree?" Kant swallowed his saliva and looked at the bright red seed the size of a football in the treasure chest, feeling extremely shocked.
"What a pity, what a pity. I actually had such a precious treasure and didn't know about it, so I forcefully demoted it to a Tree of Life! I don't know if there's a way to level it up again, so that it can become a Seed of World Tree again." This time, it wasn't just the system that felt regretful. Kant himself felt a wave of regret and pity.
[ System, do you think this Seed of World Tree, which has been demoted to a Tree of Life's Seed, can still be upgraded to a Seed of World Tree? ] The more Kant thought about it, the more unwilling he became. A World Tree might be able to directly give birth to a complete world. The world it gave birth to was not like the noble's demiplane fiefdom in Isai. It could only exist if it was mounted on the main plane of Isai. The world it gave birth to would be a complete world, just like Isai. It could exist independently in the void. When he thought about how he had almost been able to control a complete world, but he had destroyed it with his own hands, how could Kant be reconciled? The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was.
[ The Seed of World Tree's demotion to the Tree of Life's Seed is irreparable. If you want to obtain the World Tree, you can nurture the Tree of Life with your heart. If things go smoothly, there is a chance for it to become a World Tree in tens or hundreds of thousands of years, giving birth to a world that belongs to it and belongs to you. ] The words on his retina were densely packed, Kant watched with utmost care.
Then, Kant exploded!
"If things go smoothly, tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years?" At this moment, Kant's heart was bleeding. His hatred towards the five world nobles of South County suddenly soared. Even every single drop of the river water of the Resniston River could not wash away his anger! These five b*stards had destroyed the complete world that he could have had! Becoming the master of a world was ten thousand times, a million times more powerful than becoming a noble of this World of Isai!
Kant's amber eyes were burning with rage! If it wasn't for the five world nobles causing trouble, he wouldn't have needed to level up the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' necklace. If he didn't level up the necklace, his World Tree seed wouldn't have been demoted. As long as it was stayed in his treasury, Kant would find it sooner or later!
Kant took a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart. "I'm not angry, I'm not angry. I've already mobilized my troops. I'll be able to fight with these five b*stards soon. When that time comes, I… I'll f*cking kill these five b*stards!"
Kant slowly calmed down. He couldn't help but ask the mage of the Enfath Empire who had been standing beside him, organizing and collecting these rare resources for him, "Mel, how did you get this tree seed?"
The World Tree Seed was an extremely rare item. It was actually collected by his subordinates through the collection of rare resources. Kant could not believe it when he thought of how this seed was obtained.
"Lord, this seed was directly dug out from the ground when Sir Firentis led his subordinates to reclaim the wasteland of the North County. At that time, even the Swadian Royal Knight used their knight swords to hack at it with all their might, but they were unable to leave any traces on this tree seed. Therefore, they simply treated this thing as a rare resource and sent it to me. In truth, we are unable to detect any extraordinary powers within this tree seed. This time, seeing that Lord Kant is in urgent need of rare resources, I had someone take it out to make up the numbers!" Mel respectfully answered Kant's question.
"North County Wasteland, make up the numbers…" Kant helplessly waved his hand. "Alright, Mel, that's it. Send someone to take these chests away, leaving only this treasure chest containing the tree seed. You can also leave!"
"The seed has already been demoted. This matter has already become a foregone conclusion. There's no turning back. Moreover, if it wasn't for this seed, I might have already been killed by the five world nobles. Compared to a possible World Tree, my own life is more important. Otherwise, if I die, even if this Seed of World Tree is successfully cultivated, what does that have to do with me?" Kant gradually calmed his thoughts, he was no longer too angry, but his hatred towards the five world nobles deepened.
In the end, if it weren't for the five world nobles causing trouble, Kant would have been able to keep the World Tree seed safe and sound.
[ System, help me display the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' attribute again. I was too focused on the World Tree seed and didn't check it carefully. ] Kant felt that the World Tree seed was extraordinary, seeing that it wasn't turned into a pile of ashes or dust after being absorbed by the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' necklace but it only shrunk. Kant immediately shifted his attention to the Seed of World Tree. Now that the matter regarding the World Tree had come to an end, Kant could check the leveled up necklace again.
The system once again displayed the attributes of the 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' necklace on Kant's retina.
Kant took a good look and found that the necklace had become a "viscount level" necklace. This made Kant wonder if there was a clear classification for extraordinary items, and if the necklace was a "baron level" previously, or if it was not even a "baron". This time, the upgrade had directly crossed the "baron" level up to the "viscount" level. The volume of the World Tree had almost shrunk by half, and it had been directly reduced to a Tree of Life. It could be seen how much extraordinary power had been extracted. Kant believed that it should be the latter. This necklace's upgrade had directly skipped the "baron" level to the "viscount" level. Otherwise, why didn't the necklace indicate "baron level" before?
Then, Kant carefully checked the special effect of this necklace. Now, the special effect of 'Glory. Protection of Serenity' had increased from the previous three to five.
"Tranquil mind", "Serenity's Protection", and "Glory", these three special effects didn't have any changes when looking at the special effect description. However, through the "Tranquil Mind" effect, Kant knew that the "Tranquil Mind" effect should have increased by many times when he experienced it first-hand. At least the deep and pure dark aura from the north, which had originally tempted him to exceed his limits, gave him the feeling that it was like a gentle breeze that could not shake his will in the slightest.
Therefore, Kant believed that "Serenity's Protection" must have been strengthened by a lot too. Although the cooldown time was still one week, the strength of the attacks that could be defended against must have increased by a lot. As for "Glory", it was just a decoration. Until Kant gathered the "Glory" component of the extraordinary set, he couldn't really activate this special effect.
At this moment, Glory. Protection of Serenity had two additional special effects.
Protector Sequence 1 – War Spirit: Active special effect. The wearer could directly summon their own protector – War spirit, number 100. The strength of the war spirit was one level lower than the wearer.
Looking at the name of this special effect, there would a "2" for this special effect. Perhaps when the necklace was upgraded in the future, special effects like "Protector Sequence 2″and "Protector Sequence 3" would appear.
Looking at the special effect on his retina, some thoughts appeared in Kant's mind.
More than a year ago, Kant had eliminated the God of War, Edmund. Edmund had once made a desperate gamble and used a huge killing move. That killing move had even fused the 100 holy spirits of the God of War into it. The final result was the 100 holy spirits disappeared into the green light of the "Serenity's Protection" special effect that was triggered by this move.
At that time, Kant thought that the holy spirits had been destroyed, but now it seemed that these holy spirits had been directly absorbed by the Glory. Protection of Serenity necklace. Now, it should have been transformed into this "Protector Sequence 1- War Spirit" special effect.
Whether it was or not, he would know once he tried it!
This special effect didn't specify a cooldown time, which meant that this special effect didn't have a cooldown time.
With a thought from Kant, the special effect of the necklace, "Protector Sequence 1- War Spirit", was successfully activated. In an instant, Kant felt the power of the rules of war being rapidly extracted by the emerald necklace around his neck. Then, he saw 100 fully armed grand knights suddenly appear beside him, the peak grand knight "war spirits" were riding on tall horses. Their equipment was all made of dark red metal. Even the warhorse they were riding on was also dark red in color. At the same time, they were wearing dark red vests. It was just like the 100 holy spirits of the God of War that Kant had met in the God of War's Divine Realm.
However, the difference between Kant's war spirits and the holy spirits was that Kant's war spirits emitted the aura of the power of the rules of war, while those of the holy spirits emitted the aura of the God of War, there was a difference between the two. Also, the holy spirits of the God of War wore half-covered helmets on their heads, so one could see their faces, while Kant's war spirits wore full-covered helmets, so one could not see their faces.
Once these 100 war spirits at the peak grand knight level appeared, they stood in silence, not making a single sound. However, in this silence, they emitted a dense and heavy aura, all the ferocious and fierce aura of blood and slaughter seemed to be hidden in this silent silence.
When Kant summoned them, Kant understood how to manipulate them. He did not need to use words to give them orders. As long as Kant had an idea, they would not hesitate to carry it out. Moreover, they could exist forever. They only needed to periodically replenish the power of the rules of war for them. Even if these war spirits were killed, they only needed two hours of recovery before Kant could summon them again. And their strength was only one level lower than Kant's. At this moment, Kant was an extraordinary knight, and these war spirits were all peak grand knights.
"Very convenient, very practical, very powerful!" Kant was very satisfied with the special effect of 'Glory. Protection of Serenity', this was equivalent to him bringing along an extremely elite troop of 100 heavy cavalries at any time. Moreover, this troop's strength was extremely strong, and there was no worry that it would not be able to keep up with his strength.
"You, take off your helmet! I need to see your face!" A thought flashed through Kant's mind, and an order was given to one of the 100 spirits of war. The war spirit did not hesitate to take off the full-body helmet he was wearing, before turning his head to face Kant, allowing Kant to see his face.
It was a familiar face. Kant naturally remembered that this face had appeared in the army of the holy spirits of the God of War.
"Alright, put on your helmet!" another thought flashed through Kant's mind, and the war spirit put on his helmet and turned its head back.
"My guess is correct. These war spirits were indeed forged from the holy spirits of the god of war. It seems that the upgrade of 'Glory. Protection of Serenity necklace is related to the extraordinary power it absorbs. By the way, does the holy spirit also belong to a kind of extraordinary power?" Kant said to himself.

Chapter 570: Understanding of Nature
After Kant finished looking at the special effect of 'glory and Serenity's protection', 'Protector Sequence 1 – War Spirit', he directly ordered in his mind, "Recall all war spirits!"
As Kant sent out his will, the 100 peak grand knight-level war spirits that were neatly arranged in the hall of the castellan mansion suddenly disappeared. Unfortunately, the recalled war spirits did not transform into the power of the rules of war and return to Kant's body.
"Next, I'll take a look at another new special effect, 'Nature's Favor'." Kant was very satisfied with the last new special effect, so he was full of expectations for this new special effect.
This new special effect, 'Nature's Favor' looked very much like the favored child of nature in terms of attributes, the talent of a druid. It was even much stronger than the talent of a druid. However, Kant knew that he could not love and protect nature as much as a druid. For example, his Aaron City, was one of the best in the human kingdoms and dukedom, the raw materials for these wood products were almost locally sourced — the forest resources in the Senwaya Range were abnormally rich.
However, Kant was traveler who once lived in an era of information explosion. He was well aware of the terrible consequences of uncontrolled deforestation. Soil erosion, soil petrification, eventually the green mountains and rivers were severely polluted, and eventually even being eroded by the Nahrin Desert and turned into another desert, this was no joke.
Therefore, Kant had long given strict orders to Aaron: In the Senwaya Range, unless it was due to urban expansion, terracing, or a large project site, trees with a trunk diameter of no more than 50 centimeters were strictly prohibited from being cut down. Otherwise, they would be convicted of a felony, demoted to slavery, and sent to the salt mines of the Nahrin Desert to mine for salt.
Fortunately, the inhabitants of the Aaron City were all from the population from the world of "Mount and Blade" and had absolute loyalty and deep-seated obedience to Kant. To them, Kant's orders were the highest-priority laws and rules. If Kant gave the order, they would never disobey. Thus, Kant's rules regarding the cutting of trees in the Senwaya Range were fully complied with and implemented, even though this would cause a lot of inconvenience to the loggers.
If such rules and orders were given to a city of the population of this world, no matter how high the authority and reputation of the ruler, it would not prevent the people below from deceiving their superiors and undercutting them for their own benefit.
Kant would consider the sustainable use of natural resources by allowing Aaron City to remodel terraced fields and cut down large numbers of trees, using nature as a treasure trove of resources. However, it was difficult to talk about simply loving and protecting everything in nature from the bottom of one's heart like a druid.
Therefore, Kant guessed that this special effect of 'Nature's Favor' should be the special effect of "Glory. Protection of Serenity", which was formed by absorbing a large amount of extraordinary power from the world tree species. It must be somewhat related to be close to nature and control nature.
Looking at the description of this special effect, it was naturally not suitable to experiment in the hall of the castellan mansion. Instead, it was more suitable in the garden of the castellan mansion, which was planted with many plants. There were plants and flowers there, and birds that could also roost there. At the same time, they could also see the sun and clouds, which corresponded to the scene described in the special effect.
Kant came to the garden of the castellan mansion. There were all kinds of artificial mountains and ponds. In the garden, the paths were winding. Although it was late autumn now, there were flowers that bloomed in the garden at that time. There were many white clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining brightly. From time to time, the chirping of birds could be heard.
"Activate special effect, 'Nature's Favor'!" after Kant came to the garden, he directly sent out such an idea in his mind.
The moment the thought was sent out, Kant felt that the world had suddenly changed greatly. The silence shattered, as if thunder had pierced through the sky, lightning shot straight to the heart of heaven, and the rain fell with a rustling sound.
The entire world suddenly became gorgeous and bustling. Kant stood in the garden and felt that he had suddenly become the center of the world. Everything in the world was giving off a kind aura towards him. The sunlight fell on Kant's body. There was no burning sensation, only warmth. It was as if he was wearing a bright robe. The white clouds in the sky seemed to have turned into a smiling face. Kant waved at the clouds in the sky. The clouds seemed to have sensed Kant's will and began to roll around happily.
The artificial mountains and ponds in the garden of the castellan mansion seemed to have life at this moment. They gave off a faint aura. Their aura could not help but wrap around Kant's body. Kant felt that he could borrow their aura at any time.
The flowers, plants, and trees in the garden, which were originally swaying in the wind in Kant's eyes, now seemed to be nodding to him in unison, greeting him, and cheerfully sending him vague messages, just like children who shared their favorite toys with him. Kant tried to communicate with them with his mind and found that he could actually get their response.
"Are you all right?" Kant simply asked this question. "People often cut off my branches, it hurts so much", "Yes, yes, it's so comfortable to grow here, no animals come to eat me", "I'm not happy, the trees block my sunlight", "I can still bloom for three days, and then I will wither", "Bees are so annoying, they come to collect my nectar every day"… these plants suddenly became like kindergarten children who were encouraged by their teachers, they chirped to Kant about their joy and annoyance.
The birds in the garden also came to join in the fun. Usually, when they saw Kant walking here, they would immediately be frightened and fly away. But now, they flew towards Kant in groups from their perches on the branches. They danced and circled in front of Kant happily, making a pleasant sound. What surprised Kant even more was that he could control and command these birds at will. He could also get their vision. Just like Kant transformed into a bird and looked down from the sky, he could also communicate with them mentally, just like he could communicate with flowers, grass, and trees.
In the garden, there were no other animals except birds, but there were many insects. Kant found that he could also communicate with them, and also control and command them.

Chapter 571: A Familiar Face
In the garden, other than the birds, there were no other animals, but there were many insects. Kant found that he could also communicate with them and control and command them.
Kant completely blended into nature, as if he was suddenly freed from all stressful things that kept filling up his head. He clearly felt the simplicity and freedom of life.
"It's really amazing… I can actually communicate with all the animals and plants in my mind and command all the animals." Kant was a little shocked by his status. If such a status was used in the military, it was as easy as flipping one's hand to obtain information about the enemy. When necessary, he could even command the animals to become an unexpected military force to deal a blow to the enemy.
"Humans are also animals, right?" Kant looked at Harde, Newt, and Yoder, the three Swadian Royal Knights who stood beside him. They, Mande, and Dunde, the two Swadian Royal Knights, were all Kant's personal guards. If Kant had any orders, he would instruct them to do it. At this moment, Mande was sent by Kant to lead an army of extraordinary forces to support Baheshtur, the garrison general of Sargoth Fortress in conquering the East County. As for Dunde, he was sent by Kant to pass on the orders to gather the extraordinary forces in Lionheart City and the garrison troops at the four city gates.
At this moment, Kant looked at the three Swadian Royal Knights, Harde, Newt, and Yoder, who were standing beside him. However, he could not sense the thoughts and thoughts that they were passing on to him.
"Harde!" Kant suddenly shouted in his thoughts. However, Harde was clearly not like other animals who could receive his thoughts. He did not react at all. Instead, he stood beside Kant with a solemn expression, he was waiting for Kant to give him an order at any time.
"Newt! Yoder!" Kant experimented on Newt and Yoder. He discovered that the two of them could not feel the call of Kant's thoughts at all. They were just like Harde, he stood beside Kant with a solemn expression.
"Perhaps this is because humans are too complicated. Even the people from the world of "Mount and Blade", who are eternally loyal to me are far more complicated than animals and plants. They have nothing to do with simplicity." Kant naturally came to this realization, he knew that his "Nature's Favor" was ineffective against humans, or perhaps even against other intelligent races. Kant then thought of the existence of gods and demons, beastman and elves, dwarves and goblins in this world. Although they were not humans, Kant was able to determine that the special effect of "Nature's Favor" was ineffective against these races as well, just like humans.
Although the garden of the castellan mansion of Lionheart City was small, Kant had already experimented with the second new special effect of "Glory. Protection of Serenity", "Nature's Favor". At this moment, Kant understood that this special effect was usually not very useful. At most, it would allow him to blend in with nature and relax. However, when it came to war or individual battles, this special effect was like adding wings to a tiger.
In war, Kant could use this special effect to silently obtain information about the enemy. Of course, it was not without restrictions. Kant had already experimented. At this moment, the "Glory. Protection of Serenity"
necklace could only support Kant's will to blend into nature within 100 kilometers. Any further and it would be beyond Kant's reach.
In an individual battle, it would even have a greater impact on Kant than in a war. He could borrow the force of nature within a radius of 100 kilometers, superimpose it onto his own force, and suppress his opponent with a powerful force. Under such circumstances, if the strength of the enemy fighting with him was on the same level as his, they would only display 70% of their usual strength, and Kant could be encouraged by such momentum and exerted 120% of his usual strength. To put it bluntly, this special effect, "Nature's Favor" went beyond the "Sequence of Protector 1- War Spirits", to Kant's particular satisfaction.
Kant was currently in the garden of the castellan mansion of Lionheart City, but he had fused with the nature within a radius of 100 kilometers. With a sudden thought, he took control of it, in the northern sky near the Lion Fort, a goshawk with a green-black wingspan of two meters that was flying freely in the sky was already under his control. A scene that didn't belong to the garden of the castellan mansion suddenly appeared in his eyes. On a bustling piece of land, there was a huge tower, at a glance, Kant knew that the majestic castle that was absolutely impregnable had appeared in the depths of his eyes. This was the vision of the goshawk, but it was directly captured by Kant.
"Eeeee… Eeeee…"
The goshawk suddenly let out two clear cries in the high sky, and then its huge wings flapped rapidly twice before it directly glided diagonally towards the sky above the Lion Fort. At this moment, Kant could clearly sense that, the deep and pure dark aura that made him slightly palpitate and yearn for it came from the Lion Fort.
The goshawk glided over the Lion Fort. With the goshawk's eyesight, it could clearly see the antelopes running on the ground even from a thousand meters above the ground. At this moment, it was only gliding at a height of 300 meters. The scene in the Lion Fort could be seen by the goshawk, although it was very small due to the height, it was unusually clear. Kant also saw it very clearly. It was like looking at a high-definition photo. The figure in the photo might look small, but if you zoomed in, you would find that even his pores could be seen clearly.
The Lion Fort was about the size of 10 kilometers in length and width, sitting north to south. Most of them were neat barracks and military buildings with different functions, as well as a huge square used for training soldiers. At the northernmost side, which was the depths of the Lion Fort, all kinds of huge buildings could be seen everywhere. In many of the buildings, some were surrounded by small squares in the center.
Kant's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the hairs on his heart rose.
In a small square of a building in the depths of the Lion Fort, a figure with dull eyes and expressionless face, naked and supported by a few people in white robes — or rather, under the guidance of a few people, was somewhat staggering as he walked, it was like a newborn child learning to walk.
The goshawk flew past and glided towards the place where Kant felt the deep and pure dark aura.
But the dull face of the man was almost frozen in Kant's heart — that face was exactly the same as that of the God of War, Edmund, who had been reduced to ashes!
Even in the status of merging with nature, Kant's heart was inexplicably filled with a chill.

Chapter 572: The Information Seen by the Goshawk
As the goshawk continued to fly south, Kant saw another scene that made him somewhat happy. Viscount Carl. Cameron was in a large square, commanding a group of infantrymen to train seriously. Lion Fort was dominated by heavy cavalry, and now Viscount Carl. Cameron was training the infantrymen to prepare for a siege. After all, cavalries were not good at siege.
This scene showed that Kant did not make the wrong move when he let Carl, and the four top counts of the Dukedom of Leo go. This Carl. Cameron had become stronger after he seized the command of the Cameron family's army, not to mention the four top nobles of the Dukedom of Leo, who were much more even more shrewd and insightful than Viscount Carl. Cameron.
The goshawk continued to fly south, and soon flew past the Lion Fort. Kant also saw what he wanted to see — five powerful world nobles were continuously transmitting their power of rules into a black crown. After the black crown absorbed their power of rules, it emitted a dazzling pitch-black light. Kant never thought that the leader would have a pitch-black light, and it also gave him a dazzling feeling.
Moreover, Kant discovered that it was this pitch-black dazzling light that was constantly emitting a deep and pure dark aura. This aura made Kant feel a faint throb from his soul and bloodline. If it wasn't for the extraordinary necklace, "Glory. Protection of Serenity", which had leveled up and its special effect, "Serenity's protection", which had become dozens of times stronger, Kant wouldn't have been able to resist the deep and pure dark aura that this pitch-black light emitted.
"Hmph! It's really those five b*stards who are playing tricks!" Kant's eyes were filled with anger.
"Eeee… Eeeee…"
Suddenly, the goshawk controlled by Kant seemed to sense Kant's anger. It actually let out two loud cries and directly charged towards the nameless world nobles.
"This… When I control this goshawk with my mind, it still has the ability to move on its own?" Kant was extremely surprised, and immediately understood that he had used the special effect of "Nature's Favor". He could control animals, so they should be extremely close to him, voluntarily being controlled by him and not being forced. If the animals suddenly wanted to take other actions for some reason, then they could immediately get rid of Kant's control and act on their own.
Kant's eyes flashed. Such attributes should be a good thing. The goshawk suddenly attacked the five world barons. Clearly, it felt Kant's anger towards the five world barons. In the end, its attack was still aimed at Kant.
"It's actually better this way! If I really control a large number of animals to assist me in launching an attack, do I have to control their movements one by one? That's obviously not an easy task. However, if I can mobilize the animals to act on their own with just one emotion, it will undoubtedly be much simpler. The animals under my control would be much more powerful. After all, comparing to control them to attack, it would be way better for these animals attack on their will."
These thoughts flashed through Kant's mind. It was a long story, but it actually happened in an instant.
Kant would naturally not watch the goshawk die. The goshawk could be considered as his subordinate. The reason why it attacked the five world barons was to appease Kant's anger. Although it was a beast, to Kant, it could be said that it had feelings and righteousness.
Since Kant had figured out the reason why the goshawk attacked the five world barons, he naturally had a countermeasure to stop it from attacking. In just an instant, Kant had put away his anger towards the five world barons.
At the same time, Kant's thought instantly connected to the goshawk.
"Come back! Don't go!"
If it was a human's words, the goshawk would not understand Kant's words. However, an idea from his mind was just simple enough to stop it from attacking. The goshawk instantly understood Kant's idea.
The goshawk was very simple. It did not have any doubts about Kant. It did not even know what doubts were. As soon as Kant sent his thoughts to it, it immediately stopped its attack on the five world barons.
However, the goshawk had already fallen more than 200 meters down. It was only a hundred meters away from the five world nobles.
When the goshawk attacked the five world barons, it had inherited Kant's anger. Its two cries were very loud.
Coincidentally, other than Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron was expressionless and did not move. The other four world barons had been waiting for three days and three nights without moving to transmit the power of rules to the Crown of Darkness. Just as they were feeling helpless, they suddenly saw the goshawk diving down, their interest was immediately piqued.
"This goshawk is really bold. It actually dares to cry at us and even dive at us. It can't be that it's treating us as prey, right?! Why don't we each use our own methods and just rely on the application of the power of rules to see who can catch this goshawk!" At the same time, we can also display our own abilities. When we fight Baron Kant later, it'll be easier for us to cooperate. What do you think?" Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud said in surprise.
This voice was transmitted to the goshawk's ears at a height of 100 meters. At the same time, Kant also heard it. Kant originally thought that the goshawk could only be used as a pair of eyes to help him observe from his field of vision. He did not expect that the voice in the goshawk's ears could be heard by him at the same time.
After hearing Tyr. Isai. Maud's words, Kant's eyes rolled.
"It seems that they have no intention of killing the goshawk. Instead, they plan to use this goshawk as an object and demonstrate the techniques they have comprehended from the power of rules. Their goal is to deal with me later so that they can work together better? Hehe, I can take this opportunity to observe them in secret. When we fight them, we might be able to launch a targeted attack against them!" just as Kant was thinking, he heard Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese said, "Very good. Why don't I show them what I can do first!"
Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese controlled the fiery rule power of fire, which made him a little more impatient than the other four world barons.
"Watch me use the Sword of Fire to scare this bird!" Baron Nathaniel. Isaiah. Reese said as he maintained the output of the rule power of fire from his right hand towards the Crown of Darkness. At the same time, he threw out a fiery red light from his left hand. This fiery red light was the rule power of fire.
As soon as this red light broke away from Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese's left hand immediately transformed into a fiery red greatsword. As soon as this fiery red greatsword was formed, it shot towards the goshawk at high speed.

Chapter 573: The incoming sword of fire
"Eh?"
At this moment, Kant once again took control of the goshawk's body. When he saw the Sword of Fire stabbing towards the goshawk, he hurriedly controlled the goshawk to dodge to the side.
At the same time, Kant thought to himself, "This is Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese. I don't know how long he has been a world noble, but he actually only used the rule power of fire to transform into a Sword of Fire. This is too easy. When I became a world baron more than a year ago, I was able to use the Power of War to create weapons and defensive equipment, and even a warhorse, just like the God of War did!"
Kant easily controlled the body of the goshawk to avoid the Sword of Fire controlled by Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese, which was of course Baron Nathaniel. Isai. Reese deliberately controlled the speed of the Sword of Fire. Otherwise, with his strength as a world baron, the goshawk would not be able to dodge his Sword of Fire. Then, Kant controlled the body of the goshawk to make it look like it was frightened and wanted to fly higher to escape from this place.
"Good, Nathaniel, your control of the rules of fire is really skilful. You can actually directly materialize a physical sword. That's amazing. With just this move, it could make Baron Kant defenseless!" Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch saw Baron Nathaniel. Isaiah. Reese showed him the Sword of Fire and complimented him, then he immediately said, "Now it's my turn. Nathaniel, your Sword of Fire scared this goshawk so much that it didn't know what to do, in order to prevent it from flying away, I will also use a technique of the power of rules!"
"Thunder Hell!" Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch controlled the purple rule power of thunder. Now, he released the purple rule power of thunder from his left hand. The moment he threw out the purple rule power of thunder, it suddenly became huge and covered half of the sky. It turned into a cage of bolts of lightning. The goshawk controlled by Kant was directly thrown into this cage.
In the garden of the castellan mansion of Lionheart City, Kant curled his lips, he thought to himself, "Is this Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch and Baron Nathaniel. Isaiah. Reese's control of the power of rules really only at such a low level, or are they hiding their strength?'
Then, Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne once again demonstrated his poor control of the rule power of ice, followed by Tyr. Isaiah. Maud, the strongest baron in the world, demonstrated the application of the power of destruction.
They were all weapons formed from the power of rules, similar to Baron
Nathaniel. Isai. Reese's Sword of Fire.
In Kant's eyes, these techniques were very ordinary. However, the four world barons treated this as a very impressive technique and complemented each other.
"Ryan, we've all shown our skills. Now it's your turn!" Baron Nathaniel . Isaiah. Reese suddenly said, and the other three world barons immediately stopped chanting. Their eyes could not help but look at Baron Ryan. Isaiah. Cameron.
"Curse Arrow!" Baron Ryan. Isaiah. Cameron said coldly. He raised his hand and shot a gray arrow at the goshawk that was hovering in the sky, but was blocked by Thunder Hell.
Kant's pupils constricted. He could see that Baron Ryan. Isaiah. Cameron did not hold back at all. This attack of his was to kill the goshawk controlled by Kant.
"Then let's fight through the air. Let's see if you are hiding your strength or are really only at this level!" This goshawk was now regarded as Kant's subordinate. Moreover, Kant was touched by the fact that the goshawk had directly attacked the five world barons just because Kant was angry at them.
Perhaps it was due to the influence of the status of him being one with the nature, Kant, who had always been cold and resolute, did not wish for the goshawk to die.
In an instant, a complicated crimson pattern suddenly appeared in the depths of Kant's amber eyes. This crimson pattern was Kant's real name, "Isai. Lannister Tolia", it was a part of the complete pattern of the rules of war. Kant could use it to directly draw the rule power of war.
At this moment, in the depths of Kant's eyes, a complicated crimson real name surged. A large amount of the power of the rules began to gather on the body of the goshawk controlled by Kant. At the beginning, Kant felt that he could do this until he really succeeded, only then did Kant confirm that his feeling was not wrong.
At this moment, Kant's eyes flashed with excitement. The rule power relied on the large amount of gathering of the goshawk, which meant that Kant officially had an ultra-long-range attack method.
Just when Kant was happy, he suddenly felt that if he continued to gather the rule power of war on the goshawk, the goshawk would immediately explode from the rule power of war and die.
"Peak grand knight?"
Kant estimated that because the goshawk had gathered the rule power of war, its strength was now at the peak grand knight level.
"It seems that I'm happy a little too early. If I only need one goshawk to allow me to cross a hundred miles and possess the power of a extraordinary knight, then not to mention the five world barons of the Dukedom of Leo, even the 51 world barons of the entire human race would be my enemy. I would be able to fight them!" Kant slightly restrained his happiness. "To be able to cross a hundred miles and possess the power of a peak grand knight is already very good."
"At least, it's enough to deal with Baron Ryan's Curse Arrow."
As it was just a demonstration, and they were only dealing with an ordinary goshawk, the five world barons of the Dukedom of Leo did not use too much power. The power of rules they released was only equivalent to the power of a peak grand knight, it was equivalent to the rule power of war that the goshawk carried.
"Power of War — Spirit Transformation!" Kant's real name kept floating in his eyes. He controlled the goshawk and the rule power of war from a distance of 50 kilometers.
Eeeeeee… Eeeee…
Eeeeee… Eeeeeeee…
The goshawk suddenly chirped loudly. The dark red light on its body directly lit up. Outside its body, another goshawk like it condensed. This goshawk was dark red, and this goshawk also chirped, it formed a heavy cry with the goshawk that was enveloped by it.
This was a realm that Kant used to grasp the power of rules. He treated this realm as the third realm, which was called "Spirit Formation." It could directly use the power of rules to materialize a living creature.
Back then, the God of War, Edmund, should have also come from this realm. However, he used the power of war that was on the same level as the rule power of war.
At this moment, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's Curse Arrow just happened to arrive. This Curse Arrow used the same amount of power of the laws of war as Kant had used when he turned into a goshawk.
Eeeeeee…
Eeeeeee…
At this moment, the two overlapping goshawks let out a cry at the same time and directly pecked at the gray Curse Arrow with their sharp beaks.

Chapter 574: Application of Extraordinary Power
Following the heavy cries of the two goshawks, their dark red color energy that was wrapped outside their beaks suddenly became even deeper. At this moment, the rule power of war that formed outside of the goshawk suddenly converged towards the beak of the goshawk.
"Dang!" the collision between the Curse Arrow that was formed from the power of rules and the goshawk beak that was formed from the "Spirit Formation" made a loud sound of metal colliding. It was as if the two of them were extremely hard objects.
When the Curse Arrow was pecked by the beak of the goshawk, it immediately deflected and passed through the lightning fence of Thunder Hell, disappearing into the distance.
Then, Kant controlled the goshawk to fly toward the lightning fence of Thunder Hell. The enormous rule power of war, which was originally condensed on the beak of the goshawk, suddenly spread to the front half of the goshawk. Generally speaking, the two goshawks overlapped. Although the spirit goshawk was dark red all over, the dark red of the front half of its body was many times denser than the back half.
Eeeee~
Eeeee~
The two goshawks once again let out a heavy cry, and then crashed into the lightning fence of Thunder Hell without hesitation.
"Not good, this goshawk is strange. It actually carries Baron Kant's rule power of war!" Thunder Hell was created by Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch, it was constructed with his own power of rules. When he saw that the goshawk instantly pecked away the Curse Arrow and rammed into his Thunder Hell, he could not help but cry out in surprise.
He could not increase the strength or size of the Thunder Hell that he already had, unless he created a new, sturdier, and larger thunder hell to trap the goshawk again. However, it was obviously too late now.
Boom!
Crack!
The goshawk charged at the Thunder Hell and broke a hole out of it. The Thunder Hell broken by the goshawk directly turned into fine lightning power and dissipated.
The power of a grand knight at the peak level was not a joke. The goshawk was very fast in the 100-meter-high sky and instantly disappeared from the sight of the five world barons. They were restrained by the Crown of Darkness and could not move. Their own power of rules could only erupt from about 200 meters away from their bodies. It would be impossible for them to capture the goshawk.
Speaking of which, the goshawk was able to escape thanks to Kant's application of the rule power of war, which was much better than Baron Ryan Isai. Cameron and Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch. Of course, at least on the surface, it was so. As for whether the five world barons were hiding their strength or not, Kant did not have any concrete assurance to make a clear judgment.
Regarding the application of extraordinary power, Kant currently knew that there were three levels.
The first level was the direct application of extraordinary power. It was directly applied to one's own body, weapons and equipment, or short-distance bursts to attack the enemy. This level was called the "Universal Realm", when Kant was promoted by the system to become a world noble, he naturally knew, including the last two realms. This "Universal Realm" was so named because it was a method and realm that could be used by any extraordinary power.
The second level was the advanced application of the power of rules, which was just used by the five world nobles. It used the power of the noble to materialize or construct specific things, making the power of rules more condensed. In addition to having the attributes of the power of rules itself, it would also have the attributes of the things that would materialize — the stabbing and slashing of the Sword of Flame, the encirclement of Thunder Hell, the shooting and killing of the Cursed Arrows, and so on. This level was called the "Materialization Realm". Only those who had stepped into the extraordinary realm and grasped the power of rules and the divine power of gods were capable to comprehend it.
The third level, which was even more advanced than the "Materialization Realm", was the "Spirit Transformation Realm" that Kant was currently in. Not only did this realm have the characteristics of the second level that directly manifested things, but it could also manifest living beings. The living beings manifested by the "Spirit Transformation Realm" had simple autonomous behavior patterns, for this reason, they could more flexibly use the extraordinary power that manifested them. This level was higher than the "Materialization Realm". Naturally, it also required one's extraordinary powers to reach the level of the power of rules or divine power.
Kant wasn't sure if there was a higher level for the use of the power of rules. He was limited to the third level. He only knew these three levels naturally. The source of these realms was probably due to the powerful function of the system. It absorbed the God of War, and then instilled the God of War's application of the power of war directly into Kant. It made Kant's application of the rule power of war seem as if it had been tempered over thousands of years, and he was extremely skilled.
In the Lion Fort, the five world nobles helplessly watched the goshawk that Kant controlled disappear into the horizon, their eyes filled with extreme shock.
"Oh my god, I can't believe my eyes. What did I see?"? Baron Kant directly injected the rule power of war into a goshawk from a very long distance. This was something only gods were capable to do. They were able to inject the divine power into the holy spirit from a distance and freely bestow them with power."
Baron Victor. Isai. Enoch looked at his Thunder Hell. Because a few lightning fences were broken by the goshawk, the entire Thunder Hell gradually collapsed into the power of lightning from the few lightning fences, he made his own judgment in shock.
At this time, Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud also spoke, his tone was a little grave. "Victor, you are only talking about one aspect. The key to that goshawk's escape is that Baron Kant used the rule power of war to reach an extremely high realm — the Spirit Transformation Realm that is far above us. I really can't imagine how Baron Kant managed to reach such a level in just one year. Even I haven't reached this realm!"
Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud was the most powerful world baron. This also meant that he had survived the longest among the world barons. The strength of the world baron was closely related to how long they had lived. Every time they went through the month of calamity, their real names would change slightly, and the power of rules that they could use would obviously increase.
It was also because of this that the father of Ryan. Isai. Cameron, who had once been able to roam the Silver Platter Empire alone was even more powerful than Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud. But Ryan Isai. Cameron, who had inherited his father's real name, was the weakest among the world nobles.

Chapter 575: The Purity of Animals
"The realm of the application of the power of rules requires a long period of time to be trained. But look at Baron Kant, what is so special about him that he could reach such a high realm in just a year? Judging from his application of the power of rules, Baron Kant's combat will be 50% stronger than our estimation. His combat strength might even be on par with mine!" Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud continued speaking in a very serious tone.
The other world barons' expressions changed.
They thought that Baron Kant was the weakest world baron. However, according to Baron Tyr Isai, this Baron Kant was comparable to him and was stronger than the other world barons. Didn't this mean that even if Baron Kant was besieged by the five of them, he still had the power to burst out and instantly kill a world baron?
"Ryan, Baron Kant's performance is too special. I think you should give us an explanation!" Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne said. Among the five of them, he was slightly stronger than Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron, so he was most worried about the upcoming battle. At this moment, his tone was little unfriendly to Baron Ryan.
As for Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's expression was no longer as cold as before. In his eyes, there was an extremely fanatical look. He did not pay any attention to Baron Clark. Isai. Prynne's words. Instead, he said with a hint fanaticism, "Help me capture Baron Kant alive and hand him over to me. Each of you will weigh 20 kilograms of abyssal magic iron!"
At this moment, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron no longer held back his words like gold.
"Twenty kilograms of abyssal magic iron?" The eyes of the other four world barons were filled with greed. This greed completely suppressed their worries about Baron Kant's strength. At the same time, it also made the four world barons realize that more than half of their strength came from powerful equipment. After putting on the equipment that was specially used for battle, their strength had increased by more than 50%.
After the goshawk flew high into the sky again, Kant immediately lost control over it. At the same time, he also lost the rule power of war that gathered on its body. Then, he directly removed Nature's Favor, the special effect of "Glory, Protection of Serenity". However, what Kant did not expect was that the goshawk seemed to have sensed Kant from afar. It flew all the way south towards the castellan mansion in Lionheart City, as if it was coming to find Kant.
"This 'Nature's Favor' is indeed very powerful, but it seems to have slightly affected my judgment!" Kant walked towards the castellan mansion's main hall from the garden, as he pondered, he said, "With my personality, after that goshawk was besieged, I wouldn't go out of my way to save it. Saving it would mean that the matter of me being able to control animals from afar would be known by the five world nobles. If I want to use birds to gather intelligence like today, I'm afraid it won't be as smooth as today!"
Not long after Kant returned to the main hall of the castellan mansion, dun de coincidentally returned to report, "Lord, all of the Swadian Knights, the Sarleon Lion Knights, and the Enfath Mages are assembled. They are currently in the square of the castellan mansion. In addition, half of the military forces of the four city gates have been mobilized. They are heading towards the north city gate of Lionheart City!"
Kant directly ordered: "Very good, set out!"
When Kant led 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights, 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights, and 1,000 Enfath Mages along the wide North Road, many merchants retreated and stopped to watch.
Chirp…Chirp…
A loud and clear cry of the goshawk, suddenly from a hundred meters high transmitted from the air.
Kant felt that the voice was unusually familiar. He immediately looked up and saw a familiar goshawk hovering above his army. With the strength of a world baron, Kant's eyesight was quite astonishing, in addition, the goshawk was not flying at a thousand meters in the air. Therefore, Kant could clearly tell that the goshawk was staring at him with an extremely close gaze.
"What's going on?" Kant felt a little strange. After removing the "Nature's Favor" special effect, he had already forgotten about the goshawk. He never expected that the goshawk would come directly to him.
Kant didn't activate the special effect of Nature's Favor at the moment. Logically speaking, under this status, Kant wasn't close to nature at all, so he couldn't communicate with animals at all. However, Kant could vaguely feel that the goshawk above his head was constantly giving him a sense of submission, following, and becoming stronger.
He could feel it directly, but he did not use the special effect of Nature's Favor.
However, this feeling was very vague. Kant could only feel it roughly, but he could not really communicate with this goshawk.
"Nature's Favor, activate!" Fortunately, the special effect of the "Glorious Protection of Serenity" necklace did not have a cooldown time. Kant could turn it on and off at any time.
After activating it, Kant once again entered the state of merging with nature. He deliberately sensed his own will and did not notice that he was affected by this status. Even if the upcoming war would cause the lives of people to be plunged into misery and blood to flow, at this moment, Kant did not have the slightest bit of softness in his heart. His heart was still cold and resolute.
Kant looked up again and thought, "Could it be that the thing that affected my thoughts previously was not the status of merging with nature that I thought it was, but the goshawk hovering in the sky?"
At this moment, Kant activated the "Nature's Favor" special effect and communicated with this goshawk.
"Why did you come to me?" Kant immediately asked the goshawk in the sky.
Kant knew that this goshawk had the unique innocence of an animal. There was no need to beat around the bush to communicate with it. It could not understand either, so it was best to be straightforward.
"I like you. You can make me stronger. I want to follow you." the goshawk heard Kant's telepathic message and let out a happy cry in the sky. At the same time, it repeated this thoughts in its mind. It was simple and very straightforward. It did not even flash the thought of asking Kant what he meant. It wanted to follow Kant, so it came.
Kant rode on the warhorse and was at the front of the team.
At this moment, he felt that he actually liked this goshawk from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because of its simplicity and innocence. Moreover, Kant had already "cooperated" with it once, so he directly sent the goshawk a consent in his mind.
The goshawk's mind emitted joy, and at the same time, it continuously transmitted a thought to Kant, "I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger!"

Chapter 576: The Activation of Nature's Favor
If it was a human was to make such a cry, Kant could have thought that the other party was expressing his desire to become stronger, a determination to strive to become stronger.
However, for this goshawk, it could not be interpreted from a human's perspective.
Kant had only transformed the goshawk's thoughts into human words, so that he could understand them. In fact, the goshawk's meaning through its will was very clear and straightforward.
It wanted to become stronger. It was not a form of determination, nor was it expressing its desire to Kant. Instead, it was clearly reminding Kant to make it stronger, just like when it had extraordinary powers.
Kant suddenly had a thought. When he had not activated the special effect of Nature's Favor, he seemed to have a faint connection with the goshawk's will. However, because he had not integrated into nature, he was unable to truly communicate as he was now, without any obstacles.
"Then, can I turn this goshawk into my eye and my extended hand without activating the effect of Nature's Favor?" Kant could not help but let his thoughts wander, he made his own deduction based on the previous situation.
"There's no harm in trying!" Kant thought, "If I succeed, I can save a lot of effort."
Kant did not intend to refuse the simple and straightforward request of the goshawk. Because he had a premonition that if he could not satisfy the goshawk's request, then the goshawk that had just submitted to him would immediately betray him. It had come for power, and it was willing to submit to Kant wholeheartedly for the sake of power, just like the holy spirit.
"Nature's Favor, deactivate!" Kant's thoughts moved, and the special effect of Nature's Favor, was turned off by him, the feeling of being integrated into nature immediately dissipated. It was like a person in water who suddenly came out of the water and returned to the air. Then, he would immediately lose the feeling of being integrated into the water around his body. This was just a metaphor. In fact, compared to Kant's status of being immersed in nature and returning to this ordinary state, the difference in feeling was still very big.
Kant's adaptability was very strong. He had already experienced this feeling once, so he quickly adapted to this most ordinary status. Then, Kant's thoughts moved. Sure enough, he could extend his thoughts to the side of the goshawk and vaguely feel the goshawk's thoughts. Because he had just communicated with the goshawk, the goshawk's will was simple and stubborn. It was like a repeater, kept repeating "I want to become stronger" to Kant over and over again. Therefore, although Kant could only vaguely sense the goshawk's will, he could understand that he was still saying "I want to become stronger".
Of course, Kant's will could travel over a hundred meters to the goshawk, but it was only limited to the goshawk. If his will deviated slightly, it would immediately be pressed around his body by a magical power, this conclusion was obtained through Kant's own experiments.
Through experiment, Kant was a little shocked. "The great power that suppressed my will is actually the world will of this World of Isai? However, it seems to be slightly different from the world will that fed me information. Although their auras are exactly the same, according to the information they revealed to me, the world will that fed me information is like an intelligent creature with its own thoughts. And the world will that suppressed my will just now seems to be just a vast rule. Although it is embodied by the world will, this world will gives me the feeling that it is full of rigor and machinery, like a program."
The level of the world will, even if it leaked out a hint of aura, made the powerful Kant felt that it was vast and grand while he himself was incomparably small. This level was really too far away from him at the moment. Kant just suppressed his doubts in the bottom of his heart and continued to do his own thing.
"The rule power of war, activate!" Similar to the vague sense of the goshawk's will, Kant felt that he could also activate the special effect of Nature's Favor, he injected the rule power of war into this unique goshawk.
With the infusion of the rule power of war, the aura of the goshawk quickly became stronger.
Very soon, the aura of the goshawk reached the level of an early-stage grand knight. The feeling that if he injected the power of the laws of war into the goshawk again, it would explode appeared in Kant's heart. This made Kant know that this level was already the limit.
Early-stage grand knight!
Its current strength was weaker than its previous strength of a peak grand knight.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp…
The goshawk's cheerful voice became very loud and clear. Its speed was also much faster than before. Even if it was only an early-stage grand knight, it was still much stronger than the goshawk itself. Looking at the goshawk, it probably did not know that its current strength was much weaker than when it was in the sky above the Lion Fort.
Meanwhile, Kant could feel that he had established an invisible but real connection with the goshawk. With the establishment of this connection, Kant could clearly sense that the connection between him and the goshawk had become closer, just like how Kant had activated the special effect of Nature's Favor.
"So powerful… happy, I want to catch a tiger to eat…" Kant could easily read the will of the goshawk again. Kant could also directly control the body of the goshawk with his will. At the same time, Kant found that he could now continue to pour the rule power of war into the goshawk.
Kant once again activated the rule power of war and poured it into the body of the goshawk. Soon, the goshawk reached the limit of its strength — the peak grand knight. However, the extraordinary power of the goshawk still belonged to Kant. These extraordinary powers increased the strength of the goshawk, but it could be taken back by Kant at any time, the goshawk was once again turned into an ordinary bird with the strength of the peak of the official knight.
"Isai Lannister Tolia!" Kant's thoughts surged as he chanted his real name in his heart. Deep red complicated patterns began to appear in the depths of Kant's eyes. At this moment, Kant was using his real name to fuse with the bloodline and was the first to understand an ability — to change the perspective of the rules.

Chapter 577: The Troops That Continued Their Crusade
At this moment, from Kant's perspective, the world had undergone an extremely astonishing change. It was completely constructed from countless chains of rules of various colors. At the very center of the world, there was a ball of light that was emitting silver-gray light — it was the world will called Isai.
Kant's current figure was a dark red phantom, and a section on the chain of rules of war beneath his feet was his real name. An extremely thin line extended out from this section of the rules of war named "Lannister". It directly sank into the void and connected to an unknown place.
However, Kant could clearly know that this thin line connected his real name to the goshawk. After Kant met the goshawk's request, this line began to form. After Kant raised the goshawk's power to its strongest, this line stabilized.
Waves of the power of the rules of war seemed to appear on the goshawk's body. In fact, they flowed through the thin line. At this point, the goshawk that suddenly submitted to Kant had the similar characteristics to the holy spirits of the gods except for immortality.
However, the holy spirits of the gods were all intelligent beings, but Kant's goshawk was just a simple bird. The difference was still very obvious
Kant himself did not know much about the holy spirits, but he had already understood that his goshawk was almost no different from the holy spirits. It could also bear the power of rules that was no weaker than divine power, and they could also communicate with each other through thoughts. It could also be controlled it with his mind.
Then, Kant retreated from the view of the rules, and his view returned to the North Main Road of Lionheart City. At this time, it was not far from the north gate.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp…
The goshawk hovered over the army cheerfully, and its mind was full of happy emotions.
"From now on, you will be called Blitz!" Kant decided the name of the goshawk in his mind. This made the goshawk, Blitz very happy. It kept dancing in the sky.
Kant was also very happy. At this time, he did not need to activate the special effect Nature's Favor to maintain the connection with Blitz. At the same time, he could give Blitz extraordinary power.
Of course, Kant would not be so happy just because of that. Instead, the appearance of Blitz meant that Kant could even use Blitz as an example to create an air force, as long as Blitz was not a special case. This had always been Kant's shortcoming. In the demiplane that Kant had explored in the Nahrin Desert, there were some birdmen with wings, so there was an air force.
It was still a long-term plan. As soon as Kant thought of it, he immediately shared Blitz's perspective. From a hundred meters above the ground, he could see the entire Lionheart City. At this moment, besides on the North Main Road of Lionheart City, Kant was leading 3000 soldiers with extraordinary powers. On the East Main Road, West Main Road, and South Main Road, there were also troops advancing. They were the garrison troops from the east city gate, west city gate and south city gate.
Each of the three troops had 1,000 soldiers. Each army had 200 Rhodok Sergeants, 200 Swadian Sergeants, 200 Vaegir Marksmen, 200 Ravenstern Rangers, and 200 Rhodok Sharpshooters. In fact, at the north city gate, there was a similar army waiting. They were all defending the city, so there was no cavalry.
Hence, in this attack, Kant sent a total of 7,000 soldiers.
After Kant led the army to the north city gate barracks, he reorganized the army and waited for the other three city gate soldiers to arrive. At the same time, he sent Blitz out to scout. At the same time, he wanted to test if there was any distance limit to his control and connection with Blitz under the current situation. Under the special effects of Nature's Favor, Kant had a 100-kilometer distance limit to his proximity and control of animals.
One of Kant's special conveniences for his own army was that he did not need to hold a pledging conference. The troops that came from the world of "Mount and Blade" were absolutely loyal to Kant, and the blood-red cape that was slowly swaying behind his back, "Glorious, Bright Red movement" allowed Kant to not worry about the morale of his troops. Therefore, there was no need to hold a troop class meeting that was specially held to raise morale.
When the other soldiers at the three city gates arrived, Kant sent the soldiers to check that the warhorse, weapons, armor, and arrows were in good condition. He also confirmed that the soldiers brought sufficient rations, and finally arranged for the follow-up supplies, then, he led his army out of Lionheart City and headed for Lion Fort.
When Kant's army set off, the entire eastern region of Lionheart City was shaken.
The Eastern District of Lionheart City was a noble region, and the people living there were all the upper-class noble families of the Dukedom of Leo. Their estate was either on the east and west sides of Lionheart City, or on the north side of Lionheart City. As for Kant sending troops from the north side of Lionheart City, in the eyes of the noble families in the Eastern District of Lionheart City, he had only one goal, which was to finally take over the entire South County.
In the eyes of all the upper-class nobles in the South County, Baron Kant was too powerful. They were shocked and even terrified of Baron Kant's strength. Portion of his power in Lionheart City alone was enough to suppress the combined forces of all the upper-class nobles. Therefore, in the one-year Kant had stayed in Lionheart City, the upper-class noble no longer dared to be arrogant and despotic.
This was not only because they were afraid of Baron Kant's power, but also because there were many civilians in Lionheart City. These civilians looked no different from ordinary civilians, but they all belonged to Baron Kant. As long as they dared to bully those civilians, it would be like poking a hornet's nest, which would attract the strong suppression of Baron Kant's subordinates.
At that time, they were still glad that Baron Kant had such great power, but he showed no signs of plotting against the remaining half of the South County, nor did he accept any noble's allegiance. This was probably because Baron Kant felt that his power was enough to become an archduke, and he was preparing to become an archduke. When Baron Kant became the new archduke of the Dukedom of Leo, he might accept their allegiance.
After all, the benefits that Baron Kant had to give up were completely different from the nobles he had accepted before he opened the border and after.
However, now that Baron Kant had directly sent troops from the north city gate of Lionheart City, it had shattered the rumors. This made the upper-class noble families of the South County, who were still in Lionheart City, feel a little flustered. They were afraid that Baron Kant wanted to flatten the remaining South County. Their castles and manors were all there.

Chapter 578: Pressure On the Nobles
In particular, Baron Kant had always acted as if he did not accept any noble's allegiance, which made them even more terrified. Although the nobles of the North County were weak, they were still nobles. Their miserable fate was like a sharp sword hanging in the hearts of the upper-class nobles of South County, making them feel alert.
Even though Baron Kant had sent troops from the north city gate of Lionheart City to deal with the current Grand Duke of Leo, Cameron, in the eyes of the nobles in South County who did not know the existence of the world nobles, Grand Duke Cameron was not worth for Baron Kant to send such a powerful force. Therefore, they didn't know what kind of ambition Baron Kant had.
Baron Kant had long become the number one noble of the Dukedom of Leo in the eyes of the upper-class noble families other than five major world noble families. Many nobles had even spread rumors that made the Grand Duke Cameron voluntarily give up the position of grand duke to Baron Kant. They wanted to use this to remind Grand Duke Cameron to understand the situation clearly, they wanted to end the terror caused by Baron Kant who was about to launch a war to seize the position of grand duke.
At this moment, Baron Kant sent out his troops. He brought with him a terrifying force that could crush all the upper-class nobles in South County. All the nobles in South County were trembling under the pressure of Baron Kant. Many upper-class nobles were ready to leave the Dukedom of Leo. The smart nobles could deduce Baron Kant's behavior. Kant would definitely not let these old noble families stay in Dukedom of Leo.
There were only two paths left for them — either die or get lost.
As for letting them fight Baron Kant at the cost of their own resources, forgot it. As long as they had noble status and power in their hands, they would be able to develop their families well when they went there. Then, why did they have to use their weak strength to fight Baron Kant's terrifying army like an egg hitting a stone?
Even if they succeeded, there wouldn't be too many benefits. After all, there were so many upper-class noble families, so the fruits of victory wouldn't be distributed too much to each noble family. If they failed, the families that had been passed down for more than 300 years would be directly exterminated.
The risk was too great, and it was completely disproportionate to the benefits. The smart upper-class noble families in the South County wouldn't allow their families to participate in such a gambit.
In Lionheart City, the nobles of the Eastern Noble District began to join forces and discuss their future paths. They discussed joining a new dukedom or kingdom together and discussed forming an alliance in advance. It saved them from being bullied by the local noble in other countries. After 300 years of development, the relationship between the upper-class nobles had long been complicated. They were like relatives, it was very simple for them to form alliance.
The upper-class noble families were very powerful. In Lionheart City alone, if they wanted to, they could gather over 10,000 elite soldiers and over 1,000 powerful grand knights. However, they did not have any intention of occupy the Lionheart City while Kant was not around.
The upper-class noble families were not very clear about how powerful Baron Kant was. However, they knew that Lionheart City was only one of Baron Kant's six big cities. The power of Lionheart City alone could crush the combined forces of these upper-class noble families. If they dared to seize Lionheart City while it was unguarded, even if they succeeded, Baron Kant might take revenge on them in the future. It would also make their noble family name disappear in the long river of history.
Kant had expected the reaction of the upper-class noble families.
However, Kant was still prepared to start a war with all the upper-class noble families in South County. Because in Kant's mind, it was impossible for the five world nobles to tolerate the upper-class noble families developing such powerful strength without any countermeasures.
Despite having such thoughts, Kant did not surround and kill these noble families and the grand knight-level forces in Lionheart City before he sent out his troops.
At this time, Baron Kant had already sent out his troops. They needed time to leave the city, return to the territory to reorganize, and leave Dukedom of Leo. They were extremely pressed for time. Therefore, the upper-class noble families in the Eastern District of Lionheart City acted unusually quickly. Under the common external pressure, they discussed, negotiated, and formed the alliance very quickly. Most of them had drawn up a general framework, and the remaining details were agreed upon when they escaped from Dukedom of Leo.
Therefore, an hour after Baron Kant's soldiers left the north city gate of Lionheart City, the upper-class noble families in Lionheart City had already agreed and signed their respective covenants. Subsequently, the East Main Road of Lionheart City, which was ten miles long and thirty meters wide, was completely packed with noble carriages, grand knights and noble soldiers under the noble families.
At the east city gate of Lionheart City, Kant's soldiers were methodically allowing the noble to leave Lionheart City. Of course, they had to pay the "exit fee" to leave the city.
The person in charge of handling this matter was naturally not the level-five troop class that guarded the city gate. Whether it was Rhodok Sergeants or Swadian Sergeants, they were not good at dealing with the noble. However, if they were to manage a huge estate on their own, they might make a lot of mistakes. However, if they were to stick to one principle and deal with the noble families, it would be the most appropriate thing to do.
Kant had sent 30 Swadian Royal Knights to the east city gate of Lionheart city to collect the "exit fees" from the noble families. There were three arched gateways at the eastern gate of Lionheart City. Each gateway was six meters wide. Ten Swadian Royal Knights were in charge of one gateway, which was more than enough.
The level five archers on the city tower and the level five infantrymen on both sides of the gateways were powerful enough to ensure that they could collect the "exit fee" before letting the noble families pass. Unless these noble families joined forces to attack the east city gate of Lionheart City. However, the noble families closest to the east city gate would never agree to such an action. After all, no matter what the final outcome was, these people at the front would definitely suffer heavy losses. They might even lose their lives as upper-class noble families.
Although they could not join forces to attack the east city gate of Lionheart City, it was difficult for them to be very "generous" and quickly pay the "exit fee". Baron Kant was really too ruthless. An "exit fee" was enough to make the upper-class noble families, who had three hundred years of heritage, feel pained.

Chapter 579: The Confidence of the World Nobles
The line was quite long. Therefore, after the previous noble successfully left the city, the next noble would know why the previous noble had delayed for so long at the city gate.
At this time, a noble had just left the city at the east city gate of Lionheart City, and it was the next noble's turn to pay the "exit fee".
"What did you say? The exit fee is actually 1,000 golden eagles?" A fat noble Viscount who was dressed in exquisite clothes and looked a little comical shouted angrily, "Why don't you just rob us?"
The Swadian Royal Knight who was in charge of collecting this noble's "exit fee" said with a bright smile, "Viscount Robert really knows how to joke. Robbing won't be as fast as collecting the "exit fee" of noble lords like you! Moreover, the price of this exit fee was personally set by the great and noble Lord Kant. Viscounts need to pay 1,000 golden eagles while barons need to pay 800 golden eagles. You can choose to not pay the 'exit fee'. After all, you can still return to your manor in Lionheart City and enjoy the luxurious and exquisite life of a noble lord."
After a pause, the Swadian Royal Knight explained, "Viscount Robert, the great and noble Lord Kant once said that letting you out of the city at such a time of war is a preferential treatment for your noble status. Because Lord Kant has to bear the risk for letting you out of the city. This means that there is a high possibility of a powerful noble would join Lord Kant's enemies. Therefore, the 'exit fee' must be collected!"
"A thousand golden eagles are too much! Too much! I don't have so many golden eagles with me in my current fleet!" The fat Viscount Robert had a bitter expression on his face. He wanted to bargain with the Swadian Royal Knight about the price.
"We have also considered this. Viscount Robert, if you don't have enough golden eagles with you, you can deduct it with the precious resources that contain extraordinary power. A precious resource that contains extraordinary power can offset 50 golden eagles. If you do not even have the precious resources that contain extraordinary power, you can still use the grand knights that you have to offset it. A grand knight can also offset 50 golden eagles." The Swadian Royal Knight was very patient, he carefully explained to Viscount Robert.
However, the nobles waiting at the back were impatient. At this time, how could he still allow you to dawdle at such an important moment? You were not delaying your own time. You were delaying the time of yourself and the dozens of nobles, thousands of grand knights, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers behind you!
Thus, Viscount Robert was honored to be reminded by the grand knight sent by the noble behind him. "Lord Viscount, please be decisive. There are still many noble lords waiting to leave the city!" Just like how Robert sent a grand knight to remind the noble who was dawdling in front of him, even the words were exactly the same.
Viscount Robert had a thick, wrinkled chin. He was so sad that his chin started to tremble. After hesitating for a while, Viscount Robert revealed a tired expression that looked like twenty burly men waiting on him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll pay the 1,000 golden eagles. Butler Salia, settle the bill for this soldier!"
…
There was a distance of 50 kilometers between Lionheart City and Lion Fort. Even if a mage cast a Group Acceleration Spell for the entire team, the entire team would still need to travel for three hours. Fortunately, there was a wide and flat paved road between Lionheart City and Lion Fort. Otherwise, it would take a little longer.
Two and a half hours had passed since Kant sent out his troops. In these two and a half hours, Kant's "air force members" had increased from one goshawk to three goshawks.
It seemed that other than these birds, which would be attracted by Kant's power of war to make them stronger and submit to Kant, none of the other birds would do so.
Although the other birds would be under Kant's control when Kant activated the special effect of Nature's Favor and could be strengthened by Kant's rule power of war to increase their strength, when Kant turned off the special effect of Nature's Favor, they would not fly over to show their submission to Kant. Instead, they would return to their previous status.
Kant controlled one of the goshawks and hovered above the east city gate of Lionheart City. He watched as the noble families gave out bags of golden eagles with sorrow expressions. His mood became much better.
"These golden eagles, instead of letting them hire mercenaries from other kingdoms or dukedom, why not give them to me in exchange for denar! One thousand golden eagles can be exchanged for 1.2 million denars," Kant thought happily, "As for letting these guys out of Lionheart City, I really have no choice. I can't just leave these guys in Lionheart City and treat them as a ticking time bomb! After all, it's still my guess that they will become my enemy. If they can really escape to other kingdoms or dukedom, that would be the best thing."
In the Lion Fort, on the square where the five world nobles were located, the five world nobles were still persistently sending a huge amount of power of rules to the Crown of Darkness that was surrounded by them.
At this moment, Viscount Carl. Cameron hurried to the square with a hint of nervousness, anticipation, and excitement on his face.
"Father, the latest emergency news: Baron Kant has led an army of 7,000-men troop and is approaching Lion Fort!" Viscount Carl did not avoid the other four world nobles and directly reported to Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron reported.
There were five world barons in Lion Fort at the same time, Viscount Carl. Cameron thought that Kant dared to launch an attack at this time, he was simply courting death.
Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron nodded indifferently, and then stopped sending the rule power of the curse to the Crown of Darkness. As for the specific matters of the war, he suddenly became more talkative. "Carl, you will be in charge of this war. The purpose is to delay Baron Kant's army, so that Baron Kant's army cannot interfere with the counterattack launched by the five of us! All the forces in the castle will be at your disposal. In addition, you will take my token to the demiplane and mobilize 500 grand knight-level 'Black Armored Knights' to deal with Baron Kant's attack this time!"
After saying that, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron handed a token to Viscount Carl. Cameron. Both father and son called Kant as Baron Kant, which made Kant like a stranger to them. This left the other four world barons speechless.

Chapter 580: Confidence In the Domain
"Perhaps, it was their attitude towards Baron Kant that caused Baron Kant to send troops to sweep through the Dukedom of Leo without hesitation!" the four world barons could not help but guess.
After Viscount Carl. Cameron left, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's eyes revealed a fanatical look as he said to the four world nobles, "Prepare for battle!"
The four world nobles nodded at the same time and stopped transmitting the power of rules to the Crown of Darkness. In their opinion, this was most likely because Baron Kant could not resist the temptation of the Crown of Darkness's deep and pure dark aura. He could only retain a little bit of senses, so he could not wait to send troops to attack the Lion Fort, to snatch the Crown of Darkness. They had already sensed Baron Kant's aura once before. They could already confirm that the dark aura emitted by the Crown of Darkness was indeed effective against Baron Kant.
Viscount Carl. Cameron moved very quickly. In just half an hour, he had successfully mobilized 500 powerful "black armored knights" from the demiplane. These "black armored knights", each of them had the strength of a high-level grand knight or a peak grand knight. They were Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron's most powerful strength. In the entire demiplane, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron only had 2,000″black armored knights" and formed two black armored knight legions".
What was special was that the equipment and weapons on the "black armored knights" were all forged with a small amount of abyssal magic iron. Their sturdiness was a level higher than ordinary armor and weapons. Moreover, the armor that had been added with abyssal magic iron had very good magic resistance. It could reduce the power of the elemental spell by 50%. Of course, the magic power of the caster of this elemental spell could not reach the level of the power of rules.
After another ten minutes, Viscount Carl. Cameron had already arranged the army in Lion Fort.
Outside the south gate of the Lion Fort, there was a huge flat field. This field was to allow the heavy cavalries in the Lion Fort to have a good battle terrain. After all, the heavy cavalries in the entire Dukedom of Leo were famous for being powerful.
At this moment, on this huge field, Viscount Carl. Cameron had already arranged the troops and set up the formation.
A total of 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers were sent by Viscount Carl. Cameron to the huge field outside the gate of Lion Fort. Among them, 500 black armored knights were in front of the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers belonging to Lion Fort. The 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers were divided into five cavalry legions with 1,000 cavalries each. Although each cavalry legion only had one grand knight as the leader. However, each of the 1,000 cavalries were all soldiers of the official knight-level. They were an elite troop class of the level 4 heavy cavalry.
The five world nobles stood on the city tower above the Lion Fort's gate. At this moment, they could already see Baron Kant and the army behind him rapidly approaching from afar.
"Ryan, you're really willing to give it all out! Baron Kant's heavy cavalries were all at the grand knight level, and he had two knight regiments. If these soldiers of yours wanted to delay Baron Kant's army and not interfere in our battle, they would probably suffer heavy losses. These soldiers at the official knight level were nothing much. They were only the most ordinary soldiers in the fief. They could have as many as they wanted. However, those 500 black-armored knights are the true precious combat strength. If we lose them, it will take at least a year for them to recover." Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud said with a hint of pity.
He also had the black-armored knight legion. The members of the black-armored knights were all high-level grand knights or even peak grand knights. It was difficult to advance into a grand knight, but what was more valuable to the black armored knights than the grand knights themselves was their equipment. Their weapons and equipment had been added with abyssal magic iron.
Abyssal magic iron was undoubtedly an extremely valuable strategic resource. Once upon a time, Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud helped in Ryan. Isai. Cameron's hands in the month of calamity. The condition was that if he lost one hundred grand knights, Baron Ryan. Isai. Cameron had to pay him one kilogram of abyssal magic iron.
And this time, they already knew that Baron Kant's own strength could even match Baron Tyr. Isai. Maud, but the temptation of 20 kilograms of abyssal magic iron immediately made the four world's noble agree to Ryan Isai. Cameron's request to capture Baron Kant alive. This was much more difficult than killing Baron Kant.
…
At this time, Kant had already arrived at the wide and flat loess square outside of Lion Fort, forming a standoff with the 5,500 heavy cavalries' troop of Lion Fort. The distance between the two sides was about a kilometer, which was enough for both sides' cavalries to charge.
At this time, Kant had already subdued six goshawks. Moreover, Kant discovered a relatively bad piece of information. The extraordinary power of these six goshawks came entirely from Kant, and after Kant supplied them with the rule power of war, he discovered that the rule power of war that he could use had decreased.
Although it was only a small reduction, this incident also directly reminded Kant that everything had a price. If he really built his air force by continuously subduing the goshawks, Kant estimated that if the number of goshawks reached 300, he would not have any power left for him to use, this was a trade-off.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp…
Five goshawks flew happily in the sky, and one was still monitoring the noble families at the east city gate of Lionheart City.
Soon, Kant arranged his army on the square. It was mainly 1,000 Swadian Royal Knight and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights. They were arranged in a formation that was conducive to the charge.
Then, 800 Rhodok Sergeants, 800 Swadian Sergeants, 800 Rhodok Sharpshooters, 800 Vaegir Marksmen, 800 Ravenstern Rangers, and 1,000 mages of the Enfath Empire formed a dense formation. Under the situation where the enemy was full of heavy cavalries, only a dense formation could resist.
The entire army was filled with the mages' buff spells, "Sharp Metal Blade" and "Group Acceleration". This was after Kant had observed through the goshawk that the cavalry had already assembled and arranged their formation before the Lion Fort, on the wide paved road, he had ordered the mages to perform it.
Kant thought that the other party would initiate the charge of the heavy cavalries, but they did not do so. So, Kant did not hold back at all. He immediately used all his strength to increase the combat strength of his army.
"War Domain, open!"
"Holy Domain, open!"
At the same time, the battlefield was formed. The "Glorious, Bright Red Movement" on Kant's back began to dance fiercely, it also emitted a ring of bright red luster, enveloping the Kant army, which was the passive special effect of this extraordinary cape, "Bright Red Movement.".

Chapter 581: The Heavy Cavalries of Lion Fort
War Domain: In the domain, the morale of soldiers increased, and their strength was increased by 100%. They are eager to fight.
Divine Domain: Any injury in the domain could be healed by 100% faster recovery speed.
Bright Red Movement: Passive special effect. On the battlefield, within a kilometer of the wearer, the wearer's soldiers were encouraged, and their overall strength was increased by 50%! At the same time, the morale would increase steadily as they stay on the battlefield. Eventually, they would reach the highest morale and have nothing to fear. Even if they were at an extreme disadvantage, they could fight until they are completely wiped out without even flinching.
The above three large-scale domain-type skills directly increased the strength of Kant's soldiers by 150%. Moreover, the morale would increase very quickly and will soon rise to the highest morale. At that time, Kant's soldiers would be like lions and tigers hunting sheep. They would be indomitable and incomparably brave. No matter how bad the situation was, they would be able to burst out with the strongest combat strength.
In fact, there was still a special effect that Kant had not used on the cloak of "Glorious Bright Red Movement." That was the first special effect, "Blood Thirst." This special effect was also very powerful.
Blood Thirst: Active special effect. On the battlefield, within a range of 1,000 meters from the wearer, the generals entered bloodthirsty mode and their attack strength increased by 100%! Their defense strength decreased by 30%!
If this special effect was activated at the same time, the strength of the soldiers under Kant could be increased by another level. However, this special effect was a double-edged sword. While increasing the attack strength, it would also reduce the defense of the soldiers. Kant felt that after three layers of domain buff, the soldiers' attack strength was already enough or even exceeded the need. There was no need to sacrifice their defense to continue increasing their attack strength.
After all, when a lion or tiger hunt, they only needed to ensure that their claws and teeth were sharp enough to cut through the fur and skin of their prey. Similar to this principle, the soldiers' attack strength only needed to be strong enough to penetrate the enemy's defense. It would be a waste. to overkill the enemy with excessive strength. On the contrary, it might reduce the soldiers' ability to continue fighting.
In the end, Kant's three domain buff stimulated the soldiers' bodies and wills. All the consumption would also be borne by the soldiers themselves. However, in an intense battlefield, if the opponent was strong, then it was necessary to have enough strength and a high morale. Otherwise, it was better to die because of lack of strength than to die because of exhaustion because of the increase in combat power.
Everything was ready. Kant did not hesitate and immediately ordered 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights to charge. At the same time, Kant ordered 2,400 archers and 1,000 mages of Enfath Empire, a total of 5,000 infantry and long-range troop class, to slowly and follow up.
With five goshawks circling in the sky, the strength of Lion Fort was in Kant's eyes. In Kant's opinion, the opponent's strength outside of Lion Fort was too weak to withstand a single blow from his side.
Five thousand heavy cavalries at the official knight level, together with 500 heavy cavalries at the grand knight level, absolutely could not pose too much of a threat to his two thousand level six cavalries whose strength had been enhanced by three layers of domains.
Kant himself was also among the 2,000 knights. He needed to activate the domains for them to enhance their combat strength. He wanted them to use their absolute strength to destroy the enemy quickly and then let them fight against the five world barons with him.
Although Kant had come here to attack the Lion Fort, he had no intention of letting go of the Crown of Darkness that could emit a deep and pure dark aura. That thing was obviously in the hands of the five world nobles, if he wanted to get that crown, he would have to fight fiercely with the five world nobles. He would not believe that the five world nobles would give up the extraordinary Crown of Darkness unconditionally.
Therefore, even if it was just an ordinary battle, Kant would not forget the five world nobles. Moreover, the five of them were standing on the tower above the gate of Lion Fort to watch the battle.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
The 2000 level 6 knights were divided into 20 rows. Each row had 100 level 6 knights. Among them, the Swadian Knight and the Sarleon Lion Knight were arranged in every rows. With Kant's order, the 2,000 level 6 knights urged their horses and began to accelerate. Their target was the 5,500 enemy heavy cavalry soldiers who had yet to start their charge.
The 2,000 level 6 soldiers were extremely powerful. Their auras were linked together as they crazily pounced on the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers of Lion Fort. They also pounced on the five world nobles who were watching the battle on the city tower. Just the aura of the 2,000 level 6 knights made the six world nobles' faces turn extremely solemn.
"Baron Kant's soldiers are much more powerful than we imagined!" A world noble said with a heavy tone.
"Their aura is so strong that it can topple mountains and overturn seas. Even if the five of us work together, we won't be able to fight against them!" another world noble sensed the aura of the 2,000 level 6 troop class. These level 6 knights were actually able to directly suppress their own auras to the point that they couldn't expand their aura. They looked at Baron Kant with a look of extreme shock.
"I always thought that we had overestimated Baron Kant, but when it was time for us to fight, we realized that we still underestimated him. Although his grand knight-level soldiers don't have black armor equipment, the feeling they give me is that each of them isn't inferior to a black armored knight. In fact… they are even stronger." another world noble said, his tone was extremely solemn.
"No need to worry! Everything is within our expectations!" Baron. Ryan. Isai. Cameron said in a cold and hard voice. His eyes were filled with fanaticism when he looked at Kant. It was as if Kant was a perfect piece of work. Because the way he looked at Kant was not the way he looked at humans. After a moment, Baron. Ryan. Isai. Cameron said, "Prepare yourselves!"
After saying that, Baron. Ryan. Isai. Cameron went down the city tower and went into Lion Fort. The other four world barons looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity. The strength of Kant's army was far beyond their expectations.
At this time, Kant's army did not have any black armor made of abyssal magic iron. They were already so powerful. If Baron Kant really stood firm in his own demiplane fief, if he obtained abyssal magic iron from the month of calamity, then how powerful could Baron Kant's army be?

Chapter 582: An Ominous Premonition
The four world barons were extremely fearful of Baron Kant's strength. This strength naturally referred to Baron Kant's own strength and the strength of his army. The strength of a noble did not refer to the strength of an individual only. However, the more fearful they were, the more determined the killing intent in the four noble's eyes became.
They had already plotted against Baron Kant several times, and they were determined to take Baron Kant's life. Coincidentally, these plots had already been seen through by Baron Kant. Therefore, there was no possibility for them to reconcile with Baron Kant. They could only kill each other until one of them died. The world noble was different from the ordinary noble. It was difficult to resolve such a huge enmity with benefits.
This was because for the world noble who had immense power, they only cared about their own life and their own power. Benefits had also become a foil to their power. As long as they were not killed, the world noble could live on like a god for a long time. However, the price of their long live was that they had to go through a month of calamity once a year. Therefore, there were not many world nobles who could truly live forever like a god.
Because of this, even though they clearly had the power and lifespan to live forever, they always had to face an extremely intense life-and-death crisis. This made the world noble attach great importance to their own lives and safety. The five world nobles had plotted several times to take Baron Kant's life. They had very deep hatred towards Kant. If Baron Kant did not die, he would use the lives of the five world barons to wash away the hatred they had for Baron Kant.
It was precisely because of this that the five world barons, including Baron Ryan Cameron, had no way to retreat when they faced Baron Kant. It was either Kant die or them!
This time, if the five of them could not kill Baron Kant, then they would no longer be stingy with the power in their demiplane fiefdom. They would certainly mobilize a powerful army from the fiefdom and demiplane to kill Baron Kant.
With the determination to kill Baron Kant, the four world barons also went down the city tower and headed toward the Lion Fort. Their equipment and warhorse were all stored in the Lion Fort. At this time, the four of them had already decided that they would rather not take twenty kilograms of abyssal magic iron from Baron Cameron and kill Baron Kant to avoid future trouble.
Baron Kant, who was extremely powerful in both his individual strength and his military strength, was only now truly valued by the four world nobles from the bottom of their hearts. Although they had mentioned Baron Kant's strength in various ways, they still regarded Baron Kant as a fish on the chopping block that they could slaughter at will. The key was their willingness to pay a little price in order to kill Kant. Previously, they were not willing to pay a little price. From this aspect, it could be seen that their true attitude towards Kant was actually contempt.
Before Lion Fort, Kant had led 1,000 Swadian Royal Knight and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights to launch a charge. Meanwhile, 5,000 infantries followed behind the cavalries slowly and orderly. Once the cavalries at the front engaged, the infantries at the rear could quickly catch up and provide powerful support to the allies at the front.
"Kill! For His Highness Kant! Kill! For the Caradia Empire!"
With an imposing manner that soared to the sky, 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and Sarleon Lion Knights shouted earth-shattering slogans. They charged forward like a golden and red intersecting torrent, they charged towards the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers of Lion Fort who were still standing motionless.
When the two armies were only 500 meters away from each other, the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights had already fully entered their charging posture. It seemed that they would charge towards the heavy cavalry soldiers of the Lion Fort in a short while.
Kant looked at the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers who were almost motionless on the opposite side. A hint of doubt and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be something fishy. Even if the overall strength of these 5,500 heavy cavalry troops was far inferior to the 1,000 Swadian Royal Knights and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights under Kant, whose strength had been greatly enhanced by the three domains, however, they should not just stand still and wait for Kant's knights to charge.
Heavy cavalries, no matter what level they were, only when they entered the charging posture could they unleash their full power. Among the 5,500 heavy cavalries, not only were there 500 black armored knights whose aura was only slightly weaker than the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights, the other 5,000 heavy cavalries also had the individual strength of an official knight or above, it was equivalent to Kant's level 4 heavy cavalry.
They had advantage in number of soldiers. If they were to clash with Kant's knights, there was a high probability of failure, but it would definitely cause significant losses to Kant's two cavalry legions. At the beginning, the distance between the two armies was enough for them to enter the charging posture together and engage in a clash. Kant had also made such preparations.
But now, even if the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers belonging of Lion Fort started to move, they would not have enough distance to enter the charging posture. They would not be able to cause any significant losses to Kant's knights.
Kant was puzzled about this point. He was very clear that the current heavy cavalry troops of the Lion Fort were under the command of Viscount Carl Cameron. This was indeed in accordance with Kant's intentions. Previously, Kant had let Viscount Carl Cameron and the other four top-level earls go because he wanted them to become the commander during the fight.
Although Kant's goal of letting Viscount Carl Cameron became the enemy commander had been achieved, Kant did not think that Viscount Carl Cameron was so stupid. Setting up the cavalry in sparse shapes suitable for charging and then waiting for the enemy's heavy cavalry to charge like infantry?
This was not funny at all!
Therefore, the closer he got to the enemy's heavy cavalry corps, the heavier Kant's heart became, and the bad premonition grew stronger.
Kant did not know much about Viscount Carl Cameron, even though Viscount Carl Cameron was his half-brother in name. He had seen Viscount Carl Cameron train the army through the goshawk, Kant knew that Viscount Carl Cameron might not have enough experience in war, but he definitely knew about the army and knowledge about war.
Such a person seemed to have made the most muddle-headed decision at this time. He used the cavalry as infantrymen and even formed a sparse formation to welcome the charge of Kant's powerful cavalry.

Chapter 583: The Curse Stone
This was really out of place. Kant felt that the ominous feeling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He even wanted to call off his 2,000 level 6 knights who were charging forward. However, the heavy cavalries who had entered the charging posture could not be stopped anymore. If they were to stop now, the consequences would be bad. Therefore, Kant could only continue to run forward with the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights.
Soon, Kant led 2,000 level 6 knights and approached the 5,500 heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort. They were only 300 meters away.
It looked like a massacre was about to happen.
At this moment, Viscount Carl Cameron, who was riding on a warhorse at the back of the troop, suddenly summoned his extraordinary power and shouted, "Let's move! Now!"
At this time, the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the Lion Fort took out a fist-sized gray stone from the bag hanging on the warhorse.
Kant's pupils suddenly constricted. He had a bad premonition.
"What is that gray stone?" Kant thought. At the same time, he carefully observed the gray stone in the hands of the heavy cavalry soldiers and found that there were some complicated patterns carved on the stones, there seemed to be gray energy flowing within them.
"Curse stones, attack!" Just as Kant was carefully observing those gray stones, Viscount Carl Cameron, who was behind the heavy cavalries, suddenly shouted again. He issued an order to the 5,000 heavy cavalry troops whose individual strength was at the knight level.
As Viscount Carl Cameron gave the order, the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers immediately took action. They threw the gray fist-sized curse stone in their hands at Kant's troop that was rapidly approaching them. It seemed that they had been waiting for this moment. They were even willing to endure the charge of Kant's 2,000 level 6 knights. No matter what, Kant could not give the order to stop the charge at this moment, therefore, the 5,500 heavy cavalry soldiers of the Lion Fort would definitely be attacked by Kant's heavy cavalry soldiers.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each of the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers of the Lion Fort threw a gray curse stone. This curse stone was not a hidden weapon to throw at Kant's knights. These gray fist-sized curse stones had only flown for a distance of one to two hundred meters. Before they reached Kant's knights, the curse stones exploded.
Each of the exploded curse stones released a complex gray rune. The gray rune appeared at an extremely fast speed. It was much faster than the speed of the curse stones. In an instant, it entered the bodies of the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights, they actually directly entered the bodies of the Swadian Royal Knights of and the Sarleon Lion Knights through the golden or bright red armor on their bodies.
Even Kant himself had to endure dozens of gray runes on his body. However, when the gray runes wanted to enter Kant's body, a dark red extraordinary power burst out from Kant's body. This was the rule power of war. The rule power of war emerged from Kant's body. It was extremely swift and powerful. With just a light sweep, the gray rune that wanted to fuse with Kant's body collapsed.
Similar to Kant's method, the Swadian Royal Knight exploded with golden-colored King's Power when the gray rune wanted to fuse with their bodies. When the Sarleon Lion Knights wanted to fuse the gray runes into their bodies, they exploded with bright red Lion King's Power. Their extraordinary powers were extremely powerful, which were comparable to the peak level grand knights of this world. However, their extraordinary powers were completely useless against the gray runes. It could not stop the gray rune from entering their bodies.
Among the 1,000 of the Swadian Royal Knights and 1,000 Sarleon Lion Knights, there were very few who had not been absorbed by the gray rune. Almost all of the knights had been absorbed by the gray rune.
Fortunately, the gray rune did not seem to have any real destructive power, at least not in an instant. Even though Kant's 2,000 level 6 knights had been affected, they had all been absorbed by the gray rune. However, they did not show any signs of being affected. They were still charging at high speed, and in a few seconds, they would be charging towards the 5,500 heavy cavalry troops of the Lion Fort.
Kant saw all of this. Although the 2,000 level 6 knights did not seem to be affected, his mood was still unease. He did not know what the use of the rune of the curse stone that the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers threw out. However, since they dared to pay such a heavy price, they must be up to no good.
"Time is pressing. The 1st to 5th cavalry troop of the Lion Fort, listen up and charge!"
Suddenly, Viscount Carl Cameron's voice echoed on the battlefield again!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Following Carl. As soon as Viscount Carl's words fell, the 5,000 heavy cavalry soldiers with knight-level strength suddenly activated and charged at Kant's army in the opposite direction. As for the other 500 "black armored knights", they were still standing on the battlefield. They were originally at the front of the battlefield, but now they were surpassed by the 5,000 heavy cavalries. They were staying at the back of the battlefield.
"What's the point of charging now? It's impossible for them to reach the highest speed. If they can't enter the charging posture, they will have a confrontation with my subordinates, the Swadian Royal Knights and the Sarleon Lion Knights. They are simply sending themselves to their deaths!" Kant saw the 5,000 heavy cavalries of the Lion Fort suddenly charge, the doubts in his heart deepened, and at the same time, the haze in his heart deepened.
The weather was originally fine and clear, but now the wind and clouds were surging. At this moment, it gradually turned into a cloudy day, and the clouds blocked the sun.
In just a few seconds, the two armies had officially clashed.
"Kill! For His Highness Lord Kant! Kill! For the Caradia Empire!"
"Kill! For Grand Duke Cameron's honor! For Grand Duke Cameron's dignity!"
Both sides shouted slogans. Their morale was very high. They were not afraid of life and death. They fought bloody and cruel battles.
The sound of metal clanging echoed throughout the battlefield, the sound of horse hooves trampling shook the entire square.
