"The Heaven and Earth Array has disappeared!"

Louis XVII stood tens of kilometers outside Julu Pass, looking at the giant natural barrier rebuilt with Celestial Net Technology.

He immediately felt the disappearance of the Heaven and Earth Array.

Behind him were densely packed heads and warhorses, filling the mountains and valleys everywhere.

The foundation of the Imperial forces was laid bare in this moment.

"The Code has completely entered a dormant state."

"It seems that the Original Dao Soldiers fused by Lin Jingxuan are indeed extraordinary, capable of rivaling the Knight’s Code."

"What’s the situation with the other three Knight Orders?"

"All positioned and awaiting orders, just waiting for the call to launch the general attack."

Louis XVII lightly maneuvered his warhorse to the front of the ranks, the mass of Imperial Iron Riders right behind him, his gaze shifted from lazy to sharp.

His own Knight’s Greatsword was slowly drawn out,

a massive sword beyond imagination.

Louis XVII gripped it with both hands, dazzling light radiating from the Knight’s Greatsword.

"Attack!"

At the same time, within the entire North County, alarms were sounded again.

A visible blue ionic protective shield covered the entire North County anew.

The Heaven and Earth Array is gone, but the Celestial Net remains.

With the rapid development in North County for so long, there was no way it left no fallback plan.

"Detected a large presence of Imperial Iron Riders."

"It’s the Imperial Four Great Knight Orders, all of them completely deployed, forming an encirclement around North County."

"Execute the original plan."

Listening to Bob’s prompt in her ear, Shang Siteng’s face didn’t show any panic; her tone was calm as she gave the orders.

In front of her was a thick stack of investigation reports about the Imperials.

These were organized by the eighth senior brother who wasn’t present in North County, yet the detailed reports were prepared in advance.

In this thick stack of reports, information on the Imperial Four Great Knight Orders was recorded,

Before the battle began, Shang Siteng had already made plans according to the worst-case scenario.

With Shang Siteng’s orders given, North County mobilized efficiently at a high pace.

Throughout the sky, Intelligent Mechanism Mechas dragged blue flames as they headed towards Julu Pass, their unified silver material made them appear from afar like a silver torrent.

Shen Zheqi, Ye Qiu, appeared in another direction.

Behind them was the already poised Combat Spirit Contract Master, the third and fourth battle zones joining forces against the enemy!

The Anti-Xia Alliance led by Li Tugui, Yu Lian, Zhan Ning leading the Sun Never Sets Knight Order knights, approached the third direction.

The last Imperial Knight Order was resisted by Shang Siteng, Gongyang Jin, and Nuannuan.

Unconsciously, North County has developed to be able to contend against established powerful forces.

"Can the three of us really withstand the Imperial Knight Order’s onslaught?"

Nuannuan looked at the overwhelming Imperial Knight main force approaching here, and asked.

"Before falling into silence, Second Senior Brother gave me a pocket of advice, saying it’s the key to the comeback."

"Pocket of advice? Then when do we open it?"

Shang Siteng gazed afar, pursing her lips forcefully.

"Wait a bit longer."

...

Wilderness of Zhulu, Fruit World.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Behind him, Li Wu came over and asked with concern.

Han Zhan shook his head, "I don’t know why, my eyelids are twitching rapidly."

"Have you not slept enough recently? You need to supplement your sleep more."

Li Wu’s attitude towards Han Zhan was more caring compared to before.

After all, his breakthrough to promote to the Tier Eight Great Power owed much to Han Zhan’s help.

"Enough about me, what about you? Has the High Priest given you the promised reward?"

"No." Li Wu glanced in the direction of the High Priest outside the Hejian Village, and sighed.

Several days have passed, yet the matter of the promotion reward seems to have been forgotten by the High Priest, who never mentions it.

While they were speaking, a Jiuli Warrior messenger hurriedly ran over.

He first glanced at Han Zhan, hesitated a bit, but eventually spoke, "Lord Li Wu, the High Priest requests your presence."

"It’s regarding the promotion reward." The Jiuli Warrior messenger reiterated.

Finally, it has come!

Li Wu felt his spirits lift, the slight depression from before dissipating.

"I’ll go right away!"

On the other side, the High Priest was standing there respectfully, an unusual sight indeed.

Opposite the High Priest were several elders from the Wizard Lineage.

"I have already sent a message to Li Wu letting him come immediately."

"His talent is indeed outstanding, activating the Demon God Bloodline at the Tier Seven Realm to reach the Chief Level."

The High Priest maintained a smile while introducing to several Wizard Elders.

The Wizard Elders exchanged glances, nodding their heads.

"Reaching the Chief Level, this talent is not considered too bad."

"If Lady Witch chooses him as her partner, it would not be unacceptable."

The High Priest: "???"

Can I listen to this?

Since when did the Lady Witch from the Wizard Lineage choose a Jiuli warrior as a partner?

Could it be the aftereffects of my failure to completely digest after swallowing the malevolent entity last time! I must be hallucinating!

While the High Priest was still delusively imagining and doubting himself.

Li Wu cheerfully ran out from the Hejian Village, when he reached the High Priest’s location, several gazes quickly turned towards him, instantly chilling his excitement.

What is... happening?

These individuals, appearing less like Jiuli warriors and more like Wizard Race wizards, who are they?

Why are they staring at me with strange scrutinizing eyes, are they here to trouble me!

The status of Jiuli Warriors is inferior to wizards, this is an established fact.

At this thought, Li Wu’s face began to look unnatural, his expression tense, as the cultivation of Tier Eight Great Power quietly unleashed.

In an instant, Li Wu’s form transformed into the towering figure of a giant thirty zhang high, taller than the High Priest.

Seeing this scene, the three wizards whom Li Wu judged to be intentionally troubling him nodded inexplicably.

"Not bad, indeed a talent out of the ordinary."

"Thirty zhang, can almost rival an established Great Power, hard to imagine this is still just a new Great Power."

"The matter with Lady Witch, we have already acknowledged, wanting to become Lady Witch’s partner, it’s not impossible."

"???" Now it was Li Wu’s turn to be utterly baffled.

"I’m not, I haven’t, don’t talk nonsense!"

Li Wu’s tone carried great urgency.

Of course there’s urgency!

He had joined forces with Li Lingzhen and Han Zhan in the Blood Pool, Li Lingzhen is the Witch Race’s Lady Witch, has close relations with Han Zhan, the two are overtly intimate beyond common norms.

Now suddenly being told he’s to be matched with Li Lingzhen?

Li Wu wants to live a few more years!
