After Richard finished speaking, the uneasiness in the black-robed divine envoy's heart became more intense. This uneasiness prompted him to take action quickly to deal with the opponent as soon as possible. As he spoke, his body solidified and he quickly attacked towards Richard.
However, no matter how fast he was, it could not match the speed at which Richard raised his hand. A string of spells that sounded extremely obscure to human ears but extremely clear to the ears of the black-robed god made him feel like he was dead.
This spell is simply the nightmare of the gods and the envoys at the end of the Elf Empire. Many powerful gods fell to this ring. Even his master, a god with a strong life-saving ability, was seriously injured by this ring and fell asleep.
How could He De, the divine envoy, be the target of this ring? During the Ragnarok period, a being like him was nothing more than a shrimp, and the Elf Holy Magister could take care of him.
The roughly translated meaning of that mantra is, "Gods should not exist in the world."
"impossible!"
"How can the Mad Emperor's ring be in your hand!"
The black-robed divine envoy still couldn't believe that the ring would be in the opponent's hand. The ring that once made the world change its color actually appeared in the hand of a "weak" human being.
"boom!"
When the black-robed divine envoy's knife tip was about to approach, the terrifying impact finally made him realize that the god-killing ring was absolutely genuine. He frantically switched between the physical and incorporeal bodies, but nothing happened.
As a result, the soul contaminated by the god-killing ring has no room to hide under the God-killing ring. His poor bit of divinity rewarded by the Lord of Shadows disappeared without a trace in an instant under the impact of the God-killing ring.
His consciousness gradually became blurred.
"boom!"
The two black shadows merged into one again, and finally fell heavily in front of Richard. The black-robed divine envoy also revealed his original face, and his handsome face still had a look of shock that could not be dispelled. As you can imagine
He had been so frightened just now. There seemed to be no scars on his body, but Richard knew that under the impact of the God-killing Ring, this was just a soulless body.
"Using the God-killing Ring is really a kind of torture."
Although Richard became the winner again, his condition was not very good. After using the God-killing Ring to kill the black-robed divine envoy, he no longer had the strength to even raise his arm again, and there was an explosion in his head.
The pain hit him, making him feel a little dazed.
Biting the tip of his tongue, Richard forced himself to keep a clear head and used all his strength to maintain his standing posture.
On the other side, Keshid's opponent suddenly disappeared without a trace. Although he had a lot of wounds on his body and looked bloody and much more seriously injured than Richard, in fact, these wounds were the deepest and no more than bone-shattering injuries.
For the National Sword Master, it could only be regarded as a minor injury. It was just a broken muscle and bone. It was far from fatal. After using his fighting energy to seal a few serious injuries, Keshid turned his head and looked towards Richard.
.
"grown ups!"
After realizing that Richard was in something wrong, Keshid quickly rushed to Richard's side and wanted to reach out to help Richard, but was stopped by Richard.
"Don't worry about me, I'm just a little exhausted. If you can still swing the sword, go help Natalie clean up those shadow assassins."
"Yes, sir!"
After the death of the black-robed divine envoy, the shadow assassins who had been suppressed by a small number of night angels were quickly defeated. Especially after Keshid turned around and joined the battlefield, the shadow assassins lost their will to fight and were easily killed by Keshid.
After the two shadow assassins, there were still a few scattered shadow assassins who tried to escape from the battle even though they were injured, and finally escaped into the shadows.
Creatures like the Shadow Assassin are really troublesome if they want to escape. When they no longer attack, even Keshid has nothing to do with them.
At this moment, the eldest prince walked up to Richard and saw the shadow assassins running away to death. The serious expression on his face finally relaxed a little.
"Brother-in-law, are your injuries okay? I'll call the doctor over right away."
"No, I'll just rest for a while."
The trauma on Richard's body has long been restored by the sacred blood bottle. His current weak state is mainly due to the consumption of the God-killing Ring. This negative state cannot be solved by the brilliant doctors under the eldest prince.
"Is it completely done this time?"
"Well, if you're worried, you can burn the body together."
If the other party is the true god, then Richard may still have doubts. After all, his strength is not comparable to the previous two owners of the ring. It may be difficult to deal with the true god, but to deal with a mere divine envoy, it is definitely killing a chicken with a bull's knife. It's easy.
A single tap can split the opponent in half, making it impossible to survive.
"Okay, here comes someone!"
With a look from the eldest prince, there were soldiers beside him who quickly found a bucket of hot oil and poured it on the corpse on the ground. Then the eldest prince lit a fire himself. The fire instantly devoured the body of the black-robed divine envoy.
The decent black-robed divine envoy couldn't even keep his body alive now, so the king probably wouldn't give up until he was burned to ashes.
Richard looked at the action of the eldest prince in stunned silence. He had originally said this, but he did not expect that the other party would act so decisively and even start burning the corpse on the spot. It can be seen that these shadow assassins and the black-robed divine messenger have brought great trouble to the eldest prince.
How much pressure.
It would take a while for the corpse to burn out, but the fire was burning a few meters away from the two of them, but neither of them cared much. After confirming that the black-robed divine envoy was dead, the eldest prince shifted his target to the shadow assassins who had just escaped.
On the body.
"Brother-in-law, the threat from those escaped monsters is not small. What should we do next?"
No wonder the eldest prince was anxious. In Richard's eyes, those escaped shadow assassins were just a group of homeless dogs without any threat, but in the eyes of the eldest prince, they were a group of sharp-toothed lions that might still threaten his life.
Of course, Richard would not leave a few shadow assassins alone and quickly gave an answer.
"Just start a city-wide search immediately. I will ask Natalie to lead others to cooperate. If the target is found, they will be entangled. Without the black-robed angel, they will not be able to stay in the Shadow Realm for long."
"That's good!"
"Speed, try to be as fast as possible, otherwise it will be dark and the night will become their best cover."
"Um!"
"Pass my order, Clay City will immediately seal the city gates, search for assassins throughout the city, and report clues immediately if you find those shadow monsters! The entire garrison will participate in the operation!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The eldest prince was also cruel. In the city of Clais, which had a huge flow of people and was bustling with trade, he directly issued an order to close the city in order to clean up a few assassins, completely eliminating the last possibility of the other party's escape.
"Your Highness, the Ancora family has been completely controlled. Except for Viscount Ancora who committed suicide, the rest of the family members are being detained by the Iron Guard soldiers."
Although a more critical battle was going on outside, the hundreds of Iron Guard soldiers who rushed into the Ankola family manor were not idle either. The escaped guards and some servants inside had no chance of resisting the Iron Guard.
The situation was quickly under control.
Viscount Ancora was still resisting on the high tower of the manor with a few guards, but when he saw the black-robed divine envoy dead and the shadow assassins fleeing, he lost all hope after the complete failure of the assassination, and he jumped off the high platform and fell.
It was completely changed beyond recognition.
"This old dog is cheap."
After hearing the news of Viscount Ancora's suicide, the eldest prince was still angry. He cursed a few words and then ordered to the Iron Guards:
"Confiscate all the property of the Ankola family, count all their manors and land, and send all the guards to the mines for mining. All the men of the Ankola family will be taken into custody and taken to Clay City in a few days.
There were mass executions in the Central District, and all the women were sold to the red house.”
The eldest prince decided the fate of everyone in the Ankola family with just a few words. The Ankola family, which had enjoyed prosperity for a hundred years, had to pay the price for their greed.
Although the mistake may only be made by a few core people, or even just Viscount Ancora, implication is the most basic operation in this era.
Richard did not express any opinion on this. When the Northland army suppressed the nobles in the valley, their methods were not much softer than that of the eldest prince.
Richard was paying more attention to himself at the moment. After the battle, killing a strong man in the realm brought him a lot of experience. The direct impact was that his level was finally raised by one level.
His attributes have improved slightly, but after taking a closer look, he found that the most important thing for him, the Burning Sun Qi Entraining Technique, is still in a gray state.
…
Outside Longxi Pass
The orc camp stretches for more than ten miles. Viewed from a high altitude, hundreds of thousands of people are like ants performing their duties during this period, either pushing siege equipment or preparing troops for war, constantly launching attacks on Longxing Pass.
The orcs have been fighting fiercely at this main pass for nearly ten days. A large number of siege equipment has smashed the Dragon Breathing Pass to pieces. The walls of the pass have been smashed into holes and are no longer smooth as before.
However, although the main pass of Dragon's Breath Pass looks dilapidated, in fact the main part is not damaged. Dragon's Breath Pass is definitely the strongest pass in this era, and it is definitely not something that some trebuchets can destroy. Even if the dragon is allowed to do whatever it wants, it will still be destroyed.
At most, it can cause some skin trauma to Longxiguan. To capture Longxiguan, you have to rely on the method of attacking the city with ants and advance little by little.
Compared with the main gate of Dragon Breathing Pass, which suffered no damage, the defenders on the city suffered heavy losses. Without air superiority, the human defenders could only use human lives to make up for it, and soon, the defenders had the opportunity to use human lives to make up for it.
All gone.
The mighty crossbows at Longxingguan have been exhausted, and when the orcs attack the city next time, they won't even have a way to deal with the white dragon.
However, today, the orcs did not launch a large-scale attack, either because of the continuous fighting, the orc army was preparing to take a rest, or it was accumulating more power to threaten the attack.
In the orc camp, there is a separate large tent. This tent is located in the central area of the camp, but it is not a handsome tent. However, the people who live in it, including the orc leader, the great shaman, must treat each other with courtesy.
However, today, there was a noise in the big tent.
"Adrillo! Rune is dead!"
The same elf in black robes found Adelillo with an angry face.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"What happened? Just now, Rune's soul thread disappeared, and Rune's soul was wiped out."
The envoy of the Lord of Shadows was not only Rune who died in Clais City, but also the people around Adrilo who jointly planned the attack on Longxing Pass.
Not many gods survived after Ragnarok. In addition to the Lord of the Rising Sun, a human god who was not very conspicuous at the beginning, there were also guys like the Lord of Shadows who were extremely good at saving lives.
After the magic power recovered, the Lord of Shadows also woke up from his slumber and sent his own divine envoys to the world. However, for some unknown reason, the divine envoys of the Lord of Shadows and the Lord of the Rising Sun actually came together to achieve this goal.
Alliance.
"What explanation do you want?"
"It was you who said that humans did not have any power that could threaten Rune, so he dared to go directly into the hinterland of humanity to assassinate high-ranking human figures. With Rune's ability, at least a strong man from the Realm of Jealousy could make him lose his soul.
There is no escape.”
Did Aragorn regain his strength, or used the God-killing Ring again.
Adelillo quickly ran through several possibilities in his mind, and the information needed to be further verified.
"My intelligence is not 100% accurate, and the failure can only be attributed to his lack of strength."
"you!"
"Do you regard our people from the Shadow God System as a pathfinder?"
"Do you people from the Shadow God System always have to make excuses for your failures?"
The Shadow God took a deep breath and thought of the requirements in the oracle. He did not turn around and leave immediately, but said to Adelillo word by word:
"Tell me all the information about humans and don't leave it out, otherwise I will leave immediately."
…
"The Mad Emperor's ring is on a human hand. Why didn't you say something so important in the first place?"
"You haven't asked yourself. Besides, that ring shouldn't have appeared on the Central Plains. Now it seems that Rune probably died under the ring's attack."
"Hmph, if it weren't for my Lord's command, I would really want to cut off your head and play it as a ball."
The black-robed divine envoy, who was obviously angry but was restricted by the oracle and had to cooperate with the other party, could only say a harsh word and left the camp.
"These stinky rats living in the sewers really exude a disgusting smell."
