Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 528: Parker's Soul Card

"All forces, charge!"

Li Yue bellowed. At this time, there was no time to think about where Mountain Eagle Parker had gone.

Nor was there time to think about where Mountain Eagle Parker's heavy cavalry had gone!

Crushing the current enemy and driving the routed soldiers to counter-charge their own lines was the correct course of action.

Even if the Blazing Legion only had over four hundred men left, they still pierced through the enemy's military formation like a torrential flood. Wherever their spears pointed, the blazing flames surged!

Pierce through, pierce through! Keep piercing through!

Although all the cavalrymen of the Blazing Legion could no longer release Legion Skills, a layer of blood-red light was coalescing and burning on their bodies and their warhorses. This was a sign that the legion was about to continue upgrading. In the future, they could continue to upgrade to a Level 3 Legion.

Although there were also scattered, small-scale units in Mountain Eagle Parker's legion attempting to counterattack, they were quickly scattered by the charge, turning into countless routed soldiers.

However, there were also smart people among these routed soldiers. Seeing that running along the main road would result in being harvested by the heavy cavalry, they simply ran up the mountains on the sides. Li Yue's Flame Cavalry truly had no way to deal with them.

Watching groups of routed soldiers gather on the mountain ridges, about to form new military formations."Where is the Guard Legion?"

At this time, He Yibo, who was sitting in the rear directing the battle, gave a loud shout. The Frost Legion was now powerless to give chase, and they excelled at defensive positional warfare; rapid pursuit was not their strong suit.

Five-Star Enchanted Heavy Armor plus Five-Star Enchanted Tower Shields was too cumbersome.

But the Guard Legion was different.

Earlier, when the battle situation was at its most critical, if the Blazing Legion hadn't finished regrouping and connected in time, he would have ordered the Guard Legion to fill the gaps in the formation.

But as long as it wasn't absolutely necessary, there was no need for the Guard Legion to charge into the enemy ranks.

This had nothing to do with them being Li Wei's Guard Legion.

Rather, over the past few months, Li Wei had long been training the Guard Legion towards the direction of mountain warfare. He even replaced the heavy armor they wore with Five-Star Enchanted Medium Armor!

Such equipment was at a major disadvantage during positional warfare.

But right now, it was absolutely no problem.

In the next moment, the five hundred guards, who had almost held it in until they suffered internal injuries, finally rushed out like tigers leaving their cages. Each of them moved like galloping horses, charging up the mountain ridges, treating the rugged and steep mountain paths as flat ground.

Even though the opposing routed soldiers relied on the mountainous terrain to defend, they were routed again in a short moment.

There was no helping it; this was class suppression!

In steep and complex mountainous environments, if both sides were equally matched, that would be one thing. Naturally, whoever had more people and occupied the favorable terrain could win.

But facing a Guard Legion that excelled at mountain warfare, they were completely inadequate.

Back then, these five hundred guards, led by Li Wei, could even sustain themselves against those Fourth-Tier Rangers, chasing them all over the mountains.

When the Guard Legion charged down nine mountain ridges in one breath, shattering twelve groups of routed soldiers that had already assembled, Mountain Eagle Parker's ten-thousand-man legion finally completely lost their will to fight. They either surrendered or jumped into the river to swim to the opposite bank.

The number of those killed was even more countless.

Meanwhile, Li Yue led the Blazing Legion to pursue the enemy for a full ten miles in one breath before slowly withdrawing the troops.

But Mountain Eagle Parker still had not appeared, nor had his heavy cavalry. No, they were simply not there at all.

Yes, they weren't there, because his heavy cavalry seemed to have always been in Falcon Karl's legion. They suffered heavy losses during the first attack on Karndorf Fortress, and subsequently, during the Battle of the Nameless Swamp, they were led by Falcon Karl, and then they were never returned...

So it was no wonder Mountain Eagle Parker coveted the Blazing Legion, and no wonder he rebelled. Falcon Karl was also a scheming old fox...

At this time, Li Wei, transformed into a Level 5 Sky Eagle, was constantly circling. He had already seen that the eight hundred heavy cavalry led by Allovell were hurrying over. At the same time, he also saw that there was already a Rank 3 Caster in Karndorf Fortress presiding over the overall situation; taking Karndorf Fortress was impossible.

But today's war had been fought truly bizarrely.

Fortunately, the gains were not small.

The Blazing Legion had a total of 78 soldiers killed in action.

The Frost Legion had 472 soldiers killed in action.

The Guard Legion had 54 soldiers killed in action.

However, they successfully slew 4,081 enemy soldiers; it could be considered a major victory.

At this time, Temple Knight Mark had already begun to unleash his ultimate move. He had been following behind the Blazing Legion all along. A black-and-white halo surrounded his body, covering a radius of over a hundred meters. This was the change brought about by the Necromancy Core.

The Gold Cards and Purple Cards dropped by all enemies touched by this halo would be ruthlessly harvested.

As for their own soldiers who died in battle, the Gold Cards and Purple Cards they dropped would be gently sent back into the deceased's bodies. Although they couldn't be converted into a near-death state, this could also minimize the losses brought about by death to the greatest extent.

It could probably reduce them by about fifty percent.

Of course, a very important reason for this was that Mark could personally be on the battlefield. The shorter the time since death, the better the effect.

In addition, the effect of the Necromancy Core was truly extraordinary.

At the same time, the artisans of the logistics camp were also seizing the time to carry out salvage repairs on those two Overlord-class Troop Carriers. These were good stuff!

If they could be fixed, they wouldn't have to be afraid of siege warfare, city defense, or field battles in the future.

At this time, Li Wei circled the entire battlefield twice. After confirming that there were no further problems, he conveyed the intelligence about the possible presence of a top-tier Assassin to everyone. He also ordered Li Yue to immediately select three centuries to rest, stand by, and recover their condition in an open area with good visibility.

If an Assassin appeared to cause sabotage, they could also suppress them in a targeted manner.

There was no doubt about this point; +30 perception would also be suppressed by the Delusion Breaking of a heavy cavalry battalion!

Subsequently, Li Wei returned to Liwei Keep on his own, only to see that Fierzway's three thousand men had already fled very far away. Wait, they fled directly out of the mountainous area, heading straight for the Falcon Capital?

Wait?

It was impossible for them to directly attack the Falcon Capital, so there was only one possibility: Fierzway was Falcon Karl's backup plan.

Next, Li Wei still didn't dare to land. He just had Adai transform into giant wings, carrying him as he continuously circled at an altitude of three thousand meters. He waited stubbornly until Li Yue, Hathaway, He Yibo, and the others returned to Liwei Keep with the spoils of war, until the message of victory in this war appeared.

【Faction Announcement】

【You defeated and destroyed Mountain Eagle Parker's coalition army. You achieved victory in this war. You gained 50 points of World Reputation, but because you are in a faction, 25 points of World Reputation go to your Faction Leader, Falcon Karl.】

【Your current World Reputation is 325】

Is it still only 50 points of World Reputation? It feels like this kind of internal civil war generally doesn't have many major highlights.

Li Wei pondered, yet he continued to circle high in the sky, with absolutely no intention of landing.

Because victory in the war didn't mean the Assassin would leave. Truly, this time he genuinely felt the aura of death. It was only because he directly transformed into a Level 5 Sky Eagle and kept flying in the sky that the powerful Assassin was completely helpless.

Otherwise, if he had died in this battle, he would have had to roll back to his hometown and be arranged a perfect ending, just like Jiang Xinran.

Time passed bit by bit. When Allovell led the 800 heavy cavalry to arrive at Karndorf Fortress, it was unknown what methods were used, but anyway, Karndorf Fortress was directly retaken by Falcon Karl.

Falcon Karl won a complete victory.

A moment later, Allovell led five hundred heavy cavalry to arrive outside Liwei Keep. Only then did Li Wei land and meet with Allovell under the protection of the Blazing Legion.

"That Assassin has already left. You can rest assured on this point!"

Allovell had a solemn expression, but his gaze was complex, holding a bit of regret and also helplessness.

"Where did Mountain Eagle Parker go?"

Li Wei asked directly. This was the place he found most utterly baffling.

"He is right in Karndorf Fortress, currently under house arrest. Next, he will be sent back to Duke Ver's side. From then on, he can only quietly serve as a Fourth-Tier Mage accompanying the army. He has already lost; this is the greatest punishment for him."

"I still don't understand."

Allovell was silent for a moment before finally explaining, "Mountain Eagle Parker mastered a kind of Sequence Five Forbidden Magic. He can split his soul into three, allowing himself to possess three bodies."

"This first body is himself; a person who cherishes his life so much wouldn't take half a step out of the fortress."

"And the second body was that Five-Star Druid you slayed. The third body was that general who led the infantry to charge the formation. I don't know exactly how he did it, and you shouldn't ask either. In short, relying on this method, he thought he could perfectly control you, but unexpectedly, it was cracked by you. Thus, one wrong step led to every step being wrong, and his chain of schemes just collapsed like that!"

"Of course, he also didn't expect that you would actually dare to abandon the advantages of Liwei Keep and bring your entire army out for a decisive field battle."

"If you had fought the war as an offensive and defensive battle from the beginning, I dare say you would have been finished, Li Wei."

"In any case, there is only one reason why I am here now. Li Wei, name a price and hand over Mountain Eagle Parker's gray Soul Card to me."

So that was it!

Li Wei suddenly realized. He had been wondering why Mountain Eagle Parker didn't appear, and why two powerful, unfamiliar generals suddenly appeared. This old chap really knew how to play.

"Where did that Assassin come from?"

He asked again. Other matters were easy to negotiate, but this matter was truly fatal.

"That Assassin was sent by Tyrant William, or more accurately, sent by the former Queen Song Yulan. The matters involved here are quite complex, and I don't know the specifics either. I can't give you any guarantees, because Tyrant William is hostile towards us. This means that, in reality, every one of us will face assassinations."

"Of course, practically speaking, there's no need to worry too much. As long as you always have a loyal legion guarding your side, as long as you don't think skill breeds courage and insist on going out alone, or lead from the front, fighting to be the first in every battle like that Duke Brennus the Golden Lion, then these kinds of Assassins generally won't have a chance to strike."

"This is also a piece of advice. When you are still a small figure, deploying an Assassin of this caliber to assassinate you is a waste, because every time an Assassin uses the power of shadows, it consumes Origin Particles. For instance, this time, if you were able to force that Assassin to reveal himself, he would have lost at least fifty Origin Particles, which is enough to make his heart ache for a few years."

"In short, it's roughly like this. Your power and reputation are growing by the day, your status is increasingly high and weighty. There are always some things that will be lost along the way. Wanting to do whatever you please like a small figure again is impossible. You must know, there is only a thousand days of being a thief, there is no such thing as a thousand days of guarding against a thief."

"Since I've said this much, I'll also speak from the bottom of my heart. Li Wei, the road ahead is long, grasp it well! If you are willing to yield that Soul Card, then Falcon Karl will promise to gift you Fierzway Fortress. How about it?"
