Chapter 1144: The Most Powerful Versus The Most Powerful
“Quick! Organize our brothers and retreat! Including the 100,000 brothers who are in the back!” Cassano roared in excitement.
As soon as he saw Fei in the sky, Cassano’s heart that had been in his throat dropped back down into his chest. He tried hard not to cry at this moment.
Then, Cassano asked his subordinate to drop him down, and he started to command this broken troop while enduring the excruciating pain.
This troop was the last force of the two empires. The more people that he could save, the better it was.
Cassano didn’t want any single one of these brothers, who went through this journey, to die right before the light of hope shined on them.
Under Cassano’s command, the 400,000 soldiers kept calm and retreated in order. Even those 100,000 soldiers who decided to sacrifice themselves to buy time for their peers started to go back; they were only 200 meters away from the powerful enemies of the Holy Church.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the area was strange.
The military of Chambord and the godly knight legion of the Holy Church stood their grounds and looked at each other from thousands of meters away; they saw each other as powerful enemies.
Between these two forces, the 400,000 fatigued soldiers of Inter Milan and AC Milan quickly moved toward the Northern Region in silence. They soon marched through the yellow grassland and crossed the Strait of Naples, getting into the Northern Region.
In the sky, Deputy Commander Kassai of the Godly Execution Knight Legion felt awkward; he didn’t know if he should back away or battle. In fact, he didn’t even dare to move.
Ever since the Human Emperor of the North appeared in the sky in a dominating fashion, Kassai felt like a streak of terrifying power locked him down. Even if he moved slightly, he would be attacked by an insane strike.
What made Kassai feel even more awkward was that the Human Emperor of the North didn’t even look at him! This lord treated him, the Deputy Commander of the Godly Execution Knight Legion, as air.
As if he sensed it as well, the Human Emperor of the North also looked at the muscular man in silver armor and white clothes thousands of meters away.
When their eyes met, invisible sparks appeared in the air.
The silver-armored man suddenly smiled. However, since his eyes were completely grey, his expression looked creepy and strange. He said, “Human Emperor of the North? Do you want to protect these evil followers who rebelled against the Holy Church? Do you want to stand on the other side of the Holy Church? Becoming the enemy of the gods who are awakening?”
“Stand on the other side of the Holy Church?” Fei’s laugh sounded in everyone’s ears, “It is the Holy Church that has always been standing against me, no? Since you continuously tried to kill me, why can’t I kill a few minions of yours?”
“Reckless!” the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Godly Execution Knight Legion roared at the same time. A unique presence suddenly appeared in this legion and soared into the sky, and the murderous spirits made the temperature in the area drop.
The silver-armored knight slowly waved his hand, and then he looked at Fei with disappointment in his grey eyes.
“It seems like you placed yourself completely on the other side of the Holy Church. This is truly disappointing. Alexander, since you are the Bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, you should know the Code of God. How can you do ridiculous things that stain the gods? Do you want all the humans in the Northern Region to die with you due to your ambition?”
This man’s voice wasn’t as resonant as that of Fei, but it contained great power of persuasion and trickery, hammering people’s souls. The people with weaker wills would kneel and cry when hearing this voice.
This was the terrifying ability when someone cultivated the Holy Power to a supreme level. This silver-haired and grey-eyed knight was about to reach the godly realm where his words would become laws of nature.
Such a person wouldn’t be a character with no fame.
Unfortunately, these 400,000 soldiers of the two empires were elites who went through blood and flames, and their wills were almost made of iron. Also, their hatred toward the Holy Church was deep in their bones. How could they be tricked by a few words?
Fei laughed out loud, and the resonant laughter echoed in the area, completely wiping out the power of trickery in this knight’s voice.
Everyone could tell that Fei’s laughter was filled with disdain and mockery.
“Hahaha! Any more talking would be useless. I always heard that the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church is unrivaled, and no cavalry legion could defeat it. Now, I just created a new mixed troop, and I want to test this claim myself. Haha! Let’s battle!”
As soon as Fei said that, the military of Chambord stationed at the border separated into two groups, creating a path between them. Then, a black cavalry legion walked out of this path in silence.
This was a mixed troop.
There were about 10,000 cavalrymen, and there were humans and behemoth orcs. Out of all behemoth orcs, there were members from clans such as the Centaur Clan, Wolf Clan, Bear Clan, and Pig Clan. All kinds of warriors in various shapes and sizes rode on many different mounts. This legion looked strange and ridiculous.
Compared to the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church where the soldiers were all dressed in silver armor and white clothes, this mixed legion was inferior in both the appearance and uniformity.
However, the silver-haired and grey-eyed godly knight didn’t dare to underestimate the enemy.
Others couldn’t see it, but he instantly saw through it. This cavalry legion of Chambord seemed messy and disordered, but it contained a deeper meaning. With different mounts and different warriors, this cavalry legion could use countless strategies and deal with any kind of terrain, enemy, and situation.
Each cavalryman and mount were wrapped in delicate black armor, and all kinds of magic runes were engraved on them. Mystical and powerful presences engulfed the armor, offering great protection yet great offensive abilities. These sets of armor weren’t inferior to the silver godly armor that the knights of the Holy Church wore.
This cavalry legion of Chambord was in black and seemed like the legion of the Grim Reaper that walked out of the portal to Hell, giving others a desperate sensation.
With the addition of behemoth orcs and their mounts, this legion had numerous possibilities.
Lately, rumors on the continent stated that the Human Emperor of the North ventured into the Endless Sea of Forests and used his powerful strength and unparalleled charisma, successfully recruiting the Behemoth Orc Tribe, one of the most powerful races during the Mythical Era.
Now, others knew that the rumors were true.
With the addition of the behemoth orcs, the Human Emperor of the North’s strength was already beyond people’s imaginations!
“Now, it seems like…”
The silver-haired, grey-eyed, and muscular knight turned grim and felt like the battle couldn’t be avoided today.
Now, the Godly Execution Knight Legion was forced into a corner, and it seemed like it was the situation that the Human Emperor of the North looked forward to.
If the mixed cavalry legion of Chambord defeated the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church, this legion was going to rise to the top and shock the world. Therefore, the reputation and dominance of the Northern Region Empire were going to rise more, even suppressing the Holy Church and becoming the No.1 Force in many people’s minds.
If the battle ended in a draw, the Human Emperor of the North’s goal would be met as well.
Having a mixed cavalry legion that could rival the Godly Execution Knight Legion would stun many people as well.
Even if this mixed cavalry legion was defeated, the reputation of the Northern Region Empire wouldn’t be affected that much. To many people, it was normal for a newly-established cavalry legion to lose to the Godly Execution Knight Legion, the most powerful cavalry legion in the world.
However, even though the Holy Church knew that this was a trap, the Godly Execution Knight Legion couldn’t back away and had to battle.
If the Godly Execution Knight Legion retreated, the presence and the morale of the Holy Church would fall.
Also, if the battle ended in a draw or a tragic victory for the Godly Execution Knight Legion, the Holy Church would suffer unbearable harm as well
This was a clear case of being burdened by fame.
“Charge!”
The silver-haired, grey-eyed, and muscular knight shouted with decisiveness. He pulled down his mask and kicked his silver unicorn, and they dashed forward like an arrow that was shot from a bow. They dashed through the yellow grassland and charged with unparalleled presence.
Behind him, the tens of thousands of silver-armored and white-clothed godly knights of the Holy Church followed his command and charged forward on their mounts.
The silver armor shined under the bright sunlight, making it seem like an avalanche suddenly appeared on the land. Chilly energy spread around, and the world seemed like it was sealed by ice.
This was the presence of the Godly Execution Knight Legion of the Holy Church!
Each member at least at Five-Star strength, and they were raised by the Holy Church from a young age. They were all valiant and perseverant.
These knights were confident and fearless. Even if they were facing demons, they wouldn’t back off.
The muscular figure charging in the front was the soul of the legion!
There were many deputy commanders of the Godly Execution Knight Legion who had the title but no actual power. There was only one true commander, and he was the pride of all godly knights. He was living legendarily himself! He blinded himself just not to see all the sins in the world.
The silver-haired and grey-eyed godly knight who was charging in the front on the silver unicorn was named Atkinson.
“Charge!”
“In the name of God!”
“Crush all sins before us!”
…
-On the other side-
In the front of the black mixed cavalry legion, Lampard slowly put on his black b—–l helmet, and he caressed the mutated Roaring Flame Beast under him with his metal gauntlets that had many spikes on the back. When he looked back up, the giant sword [Black Lightning] had already appeared in his hand.
Charge!
The mutated Roaring Flame Beast wasn’t inferior to the unicorn that Atkinson was riding.
Like a streak of black lightning, Lampard and his mount dashed forward, piercing through air and tearing through the yellow grassland.
When the Roaring Flame Beast dashed by, flames burned on the places that its hooves stepped on, looking like the trail of demons.
Boom!
The tens of thousands of black-armored cavalrymen urged their mounts in silence and dashed forward like ghosts. Like a giant black cloud that was about to destroy a city, this legion’s presence suddenly rose and seemed like a black flame from Hell that was burning on the grassland.
One black one white!
On the battleground, two groups of distinct cavalry legions rushed toward each other like two needles that were about to collide. Their presences roared, and they quickly approached each other.
The 400,000 soldiers of the two empires had already passed through the border, leaving the vast grassland to the two cavalry legions. Such a flatland was perfect for cavalrymen to battle it out.
The ground was trembling, and the blood was burning.
This was the first official battle between the Northern Region Empire and the Holy Church.
This battle was going to start the war between the two biggest forces on the Azeroth Continent.
1,000 meters…
500 meters…
200 meters…
50 meters…
The presence of both sides skyrocketed, and even the air became heated.
Tink!
The silver-haired and grey-eyed Atkinson raised the giant silver dragon lance in his hand, and the heated of the God of Radiant Light appeared around him. Like the sun, he led the charge of the Godly Execution Knight Legion of Holy Church.
Whoosh
At the same time, black-helmeted and black-armored Lampard raised his giant sword, [Black Lightning]. While cracking noises sounded, lightning energy turned in silver snakes and jumped out.
The most powerful versus the most powerful!
These two figures who were the heads of the black arrow and white arrow collided for the first time.
