Chapter 714 Facing the 'Devil'

y back from the restaurantWe've been arguing about whether to use black stockings or white stockings for the spectral sisters' card suits when we make the cards. You didn't argue with me back then."Al...After the banquet, the Lich King and his party checked into a hotel.

"Your Majesty, we seem... shouldn't kill him. Even if there is no evidence, it's highly suspicious. Yesterday's banquet, your speech was a resounding success. The Saint sang hymns all night, her voice as smooth as ever, not the slightest rasp."

"Very successful" The Lich King shook his head. "If it were truly very successful, the leader of the Sea-Land Alliance should have come. They might believe our words, but when it came to paying, none of those present would agree, you believe me"

"That's true, but this place is rich in resources. Our cards are far behind. Why not directly conquer a Leviathan-class creature and bathe the place in blood Their wealth will be ours." The Saintess frowned.

"To conquer thirty nations, you'd need at least one Leviathan and 150,000 men. It would take forty turns to overthrow the existing regime, and another ten to rebuild it before we could reap any benefits. But in this disaster, I have neither the spare 150,000 men nor the forty turns. If we establish trade quickly, I only need one pack beast and five thousand holy messengers. In ten years, this place will become our controlled market, supplying us with resources, no different from direct conquest."

"Uh"

"That was intentional. I've never liked appeasement. Any force always has fools and wise men. You cheat some of the foolish, and suppress some of the smart ones with force. Using both kindness and severity, this way, both the smart and the foolish will understand who their master is." The Lich King pulled open the curtains, looking at the crowd below. "But we just gave them a warning shot. It's time to offer them a carrot. Tomorrow, have the Holy Armored Titan displayed at the Sea Land Union Center Plaza. Tell the leader that we will give them two Holy Armored Cyclops as gifts."

"There are three countries that can be reached both by land and sea. Oh, I understand! I'll go take care of it right away!" The saintess walked out.

The Lich King gazed upon the plaza below.

The woman named Yinxing, having uttered such words as the second son of the Lion King, was already on the path to death.

But not now, and not here.

Two months before the fleet reached port, the death ravens had already flown to the land-sea union.

I've already investigated her personality. I pressured her, made her doubt herself, she wouldn't be able to take it, but the Death King has already figured out her only way out: to cross the ocean and find the fleet in the East to disprove the rumors of the demon.

Then, she will be ravaged by the "Eastern Devil" a hundred times over, killed in a foreign land, and finally brought back home.

Realize her ultimate value.

The

【Holy Armored Titan】 stands majestically in the square.

People were amazed by the might of this war machine. After the World Tree withered, such ancient weaponry could only be read about in texts.

I never thought there would be a nation on this planet with such massive war cards.

It is said that after the contract is signed, three years later, a Leviathan-class behemoth hundreds of times stronger than this will sail across the ocean to arrive here.

People are unaware of the inside story. Most people analyze that once cooperating with the Holy Nation, it will bring Haili Lian huge opportunities.

"Leader, the teacher is dead! We can't make deals with tigers! This is clearly a warning to us!" Unlike the commotion in the square, the Alliance is conducting a thorough investigation into this incident. Although they don't know who is responsible, Silver Star insists that the teacher was killed because of something he said and silenced by the holy nation from afar.

"Do you have any evidence" an elder sat in a chair, "Or rather, what can you do about it"

The elder took a sip of water and continued, "Wage war against them With the knife in their hands, are you sure you want to go to war with a country that possesses such weaponry"

"Then did the teacher die in vain!" Yin Xing exclaimed angrily.

"What else is there" The old man stood up. "If I resist, I die tomorrow, and if you resist, you die tomorrow. If we let the Hai Lu Lian rebel, tomorrow the Holy Nation will appear in the territory of our enemy, the Shan Huo Lian Bang. Holy armored Cyclops will wield their clubs, smashing the skulls of our soldiers. Do you understand"

"You mean we have to keep pandering to them!!" Yin Xing clenched her fists, clearly overwhelmed with anger and despair.

"You can't say it that way. The Holy Nation has the ability to do so, but they haven't directly conquered. It shows that they don't want trouble for now. By cooperating with them, we can benefit a lot." The elder threw out two [One-Eyed Giant] cards: "Look, maybe we can use this to restore the World Tree's prosperity."

"No, I won't agree. This is a trick, I..."

The elder walked around the table and went to the window.

"That's enough, Silver Star. Let me remind you, you are the League's second-in-command now. Any decision you make represents both yourself and the League."

When Silverstar stepped out, he happened to encounter the Saintess with a group of holy messengers rushing towards the League Hall.

"Silver Star Sister, you're here just in time. This is the first draft of our trade list, please have a look."

Silver walked past her, not even glancing in her direction.

As she passed by, she heard the saint let out a soft chuckle.

After taking a deep breath, I was about to continue walking when I suddenly stopped.

Before her stood an old man with white hair, his figure shimmering in and out of sight.

"Teacher!!" Silver Star exclaimed.

"Your sister must think this is a trick, right You should have a good talk with your mentor. Maybe your sister's hostility will lessen." The saintlet smiled faintly: "Your mentor isn't dead, he just chose to embrace the Bible."

The Saintess finally understood what the Lich King meant, the Holy Domain's consistent assimilation and infiltration tactics. Unfortunately, Holy Energy hasn't reached that level of iteration yet, so its efficiency against the new expansion's deterioration is very low.

To assimilate such an old man, it would require the Death King himself to intervene and remodel his soul. There are also some side effects, so it cannot be used as a regular method.

After ten minutes of conversation, Yinxing was certain that this was not an illusion, but her master himself.

Older generations of people from the sea and land.

It is said that those who possess the Helmheim card set can manipulate soul cards.

(Helheim, the Nordic realm of the dead, located at the lowest level of Yggdrasil.)

And since the power of Helmhammer is controlled by the Dead Country, and it's very far from the Sea-Land Union, on the battlefield, in the literature, Silver Star has also come into contact with similar knowledge, but...

"Teacher, didn't you just say yesterday to be careful how"

But the "master" before my eyes was all wrong, even able to speak of past events with my mistress. Yet, there was something off about him too!

It seems Helheim's power kept the master alive, but the old man denied it vehemently. The Death King and his crew didn't do anything, he claimed. He said it was a recurrence of an old illness that almost took him, but luckily the Death King saved him.

This.

Yin Xing, this woman, is very self-aware.

She knew she wasn't particularly intelligent, and her position as deputy leader was mostly due to her former status as a princess. However, her mentor was very wise and never someone who changed his mind easily. He could be described as a stubborn old man.

Even if the Lich King saved him, he wouldn't change his viewpoint so quickly.

If he felt that the Holy Nation had problems, he would definitely find a way to sail again and witness the holy kingdom and the demonic kingdom with his own eyes.

Silver Star believed this was the true reason he had been killed, but.

The Lich King is now a good guy

What did they do

At this time, applause suddenly came from behind.

Yinxing, in a daze, saw the leader walking towards him, clapping as he walked.

"The Holy Nation's envoy is a guest from afar, and he even saved the elderly leader of my alliance. Such loyalty must surely lead to an alliance between our two sides. I was unwell yesterday and could not attend the banquet. Today, I would like to request that the Saintess grace my mansion with her presence."

The guild leader, this old fox, probably has a clear mind about everything, but he seems to be playing it safe for now.

Silver Star wanted to say something. Her chest felt full of something, but looking at the scene that had just been tense and then suddenly joyful, she couldn't utter a word.

What can I do

Yin Xing returned to the mansion, her heart a jumbled mess.

She wasn't good at thinking, but she also knew that she wasn't a match for the Lich King, and she had no reason to oppose him. Now, her master was somehow surviving with Helheim's power, and mostly it was his own essence.

This Lich King's power is too terrifying and eerie, completely beyond comprehension.

No.

Yin Xing thought more and more that something was wrong. Her master must have been controlled. If the Holy Nation took control of the Alliance again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

I'm afraid it won't return to the top of the World Tree as the leader might have guessed, but will slip into the abyss instead.

Silver Star took a deep breath. She knew that within the Alliance's borders, there was still an ancient magic-powered battleship sealed away—the only card capable of long-range voyages.

"The Lich King, she's already set off. Our people even secretly helped her fix a flaw," the Saintess said, just returning from Lord Land's bed and her voice still tinged with sleepiness.

"You just borrowed a few rounds of Aphrodite's love, now you can't help but seduce." The Necromancer sneered: "Keep watch the whole time, record, disguise yourself as undercover protection, set her flight path in stone. Make your move near the Trojan Islands, put on a show for them, make it big, show that we did our best."

"Yes."

With a deafening boom, lightning slashed across the sky, revealing the full grandeur of the ancient warship.

At this moment, fresh blood covers the entire deck.

The Alliance's flower, the silver star, was bathed in crimson as she fell to the deck, her voice silenced forever. A deep gash, visible to the bone, marred her pristine neck.

"Draw out the souls, and begin to enjoy this moment." The Hell Spirit licked its lips, and the surrounding warriors began to stir with anticipation.

The Underworld King's Hell Deck requires drawing Soul cards, which is simply too easy.

The evil spirit medium slowly approached, and below, she performed according to the script as well as enjoying it purely.

>My turn, draw.

"Hey, what's going on Where are the spirit cards"

"What's going on" The Hell General beside him frowned, looking like something was seriously wrong.

"This woman has no soul! No, wait. Her soul was taken by someone else!!! We... we're surrounded by... something unclean!!! " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Beneath the deep water.

The ship, the City of Ruin, was reborn on the Regeneration Deck.

"Bang! Two flat fives, hehe, general!"

"Hmm..."

"What are you two up to!!"

Two ghost soldiers who were playing chess suddenly stood up straight: "Report to Ox-Head Sir, shall we play another game"

After the intimidation, both sides cease fire. The Zhao general instructs us to keep watch over the Trojan Islands and keep a close eye on them!

"Yes!" The ghost soldier knew that the ox head was referring to General Lu, not Zhao. But the Ox Head always insisted on calling the Ghost General Lu Cheng as "Zhao San'er."

Well, I guess no one's going to correct a cow about this. It's not like they can play the violin anyway, right

Even if Lu Shu himself tried his best, he couldn't make things right. Then what else could these little soldiers do Just understand the meaning is enough.

The Ox-Head Elder is gone, so let's continue!

"Wait, the reincarnation deck lit up. I'll draw a card first." The ghoul rubbed his face, and his head fell to the ground with a clang. However, he didn't even bother to pick it up. He turned and walked towards the reincarnation deck.

For a moment, the head that had fallen to the ground suddenly spoke: "Hey there, Zhang Gui sister!"
