This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 685 God’s arrival
"On October 20, the enemy forces attacked the coastal city."

"Li Fei made only one move, and with one strike, he breached an entire city wall and all the fortifications. The 30,000 defenders and the enemy were locked in street fighting, and they were completely routed in less than an hour."

"On November 1, the enemy troops arrived at Shidunbao by water."

"Li Fei unleashed a special domain, enveloping the entire fortress and rendering all formations and extraordinary weapons ineffective!"

"The Marquis of Jotun, who was guarding Stone Shield Fortress, opened the gates and surrendered."

"On November 12, Tiemu City fell, and 11% of the city's supplies were not moved in time."

"It is now confirmed that Duke Miller has defected to the enemy. It was because of his orders that the supplies from Ironwood City could not be transferred out in time."

"On November 25, Green Valley City fell."

"Duke Georg died in battle, and more than 7,000 of the 10,000 Wood Soul soldiers perished."

In a spacious conference room, a blond man in a dark green combat uniform solemnly explained the battle situation to everyone in front of the sand table.

As he spoke, the expressions on the faces of everyone present grew increasingly grim.

Binhai City is an important coastal city of the Kingdom of Sefron and a crucial gateway to the eastern coast of Sefron.

Its geographical location is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has the largest port and the most maritime resources in the country.

The Great Blue Dynasty has captured Binhai City, thus truly establishing itself in the Western Continent, making it easy for them to advance or retreat.

Stone Shield Fortress is one of the most important war fortresses in the Kingdom of Seferon.

Located at a major transportation hub, it also stored a large amount of war materials.

The Kingdom of Seferon spent over a hundred years repeatedly building this fortress, using the most advanced and extraordinary forging techniques. The various defensive runes engraved on the fortress, once fully activated, are enough to withstand the combined attack of several prince-level powerhouses for a short period of time!

Unfortunately, they encountered Li Fei, and none of the runes even had a chance to be activated.

Once Stone Shield Fortress is lost, the enemy can strike straight at the heart of the Kingdom of Seferon—the capital—like a dagger!
As a result, the enemy even made a special detour to Tiemu City.

This is a city in the Kingdom of Seferon that stores important war supplies. As early as after the Western Allied Forces were defeated, the capital issued an order to begin transferring important supplies from Ironwood City.

As a result, even after the enemy arrived, a large amount of supplies remained in the city.

It has now been confirmed that it was Duke Miller and his family behind him who were behind this.

Losing this batch of war supplies will reduce the war potential of the Kingdom of Seferon by at least 20%!

Green Valley City is the largest city closest to the capital.

Duke Georg, who guards Green Valley City, is the most loyal duke to the royal family, and his 10,000 Wood Soul Army is one of the most elite forces in the Kingdom of Seferon.

But these forces are as fragile as paper in the face of the enemy, easily torn apart!
Now, the enemy army is about to arrive at the capital and is at the gates of the city.

"General Neo, I would like to know where His Majesty is at this moment?"

In the conference room, someone asked a question.

The others also turned to look at the blond man who was recounting the battle.

The man's name was Neo Eck, and he was the commander of the Royal Guard.

Neo Ike's gaze swept over everyone present, and he said seriously:

"His Majesty has entrusted me with the military command of the capital. You can report anything to me!"

"Is His Majesty no longer in the capital?"

The nobleman who had just asked the question spoke again, his tone aggressive.

Neo Ike's face turned ugly.

In fact, after the news of the failure of the Ragnarok plan and the defeat of the 200,000-strong allied army of the Western Continent was sent back, the King of Seferon, along with many members of the royal family, never appeared in public again.

For the past month or so, Neo Ike has been the one stepping in to stabilize the situation.

In this situation, any nobleman who wasn't an idiot would realize what had happened.

In fact, it wasn't just the royal family; many nobles in the capital were also secretly fleeing.

But there are still some people who are unwilling to leave.

Whether they harbored wishful thinking, were willing to perish with the nation, or had other ulterior motives.

In short, the nobles participating in today's meeting are all the high-ranking officials in the capital who are currently qualified to represent the Kingdom of Seferon.

"It turns out that our emperor has abandoned his subjects."

A nobleman said with a mocking expression.

He had brown curly hair, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes, giving him an imposing presence.

His name is Hayden Cook, and he is a powerful marquess.

In the past, Neo Ike would have taken him down on the spot based on just those words!

The immense power disparity between the Marquis and the Duke left Hayden Cook utterly helpless.

But Neo Ike just glared fiercely at the other party without making a move.

“General Neo, I respect you for remaining steadfast in your post even now and for not giving up.”

Hayden Cook said, "But I think everyone here, including your soldiers, should have the right to know."

“If our king has abandoned his subjects, then the subjects should also have the right to choose whether or not to continue fighting for the country.”

"presumptuous--!"

For the first time, the terrifying aura of a Duke-level powerhouse overwhelmed the entire arena.

Hayden Cook's words finally crossed Neo Ike's line.

The political system of the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent has always been one where the nobility rules everything. The so-called fighting for the country can be described as fighting for the king and for the noble class.

So when the king and a group of upper-class nobles fled before the battle even started, it's easy to imagine how the common people, soldiers, and lower-middle-class nobles would react once the news got out.

"Your Majesty is not abandoning your subjects, but is going to do something more important!"

Neo Ike said.

The faces of everyone present held undisguised mockery.

"I know you don't believe me, that's because you're not high enough to access the highest-level secrets! Those are secrets only the royal families have ever known—our Kingdom of Seferon still has trump cards up its sleeve!"

This statement only leaves people with mixed feelings.

Hayden Cook: "So, General, what do you think we should do next?"

Neo Ike's gaze swept over the nobles present, and he said in a deep voice:
"I know you all have your own ideas, but I'll only give you two paths—"

First, fight alongside me to the very end!
Second, escape secretly within two hours, without carrying large amounts of supplies, and without attracting attention.

A commotion broke out at the scene.

Someone wanted to say something, but after meeting Neo Ike's gaze, they ultimately chose to remain silent.

Many nobles who haven't fled by now actually have the same plans as Duke Miller.

They either went directly to surrender or offered up a capital city before surrendering.

The latter is undoubtedly more advantageous.

Unfortunately, Neo Ike was standing in front of them.

"Start the timer now. Anyone still in the capital two hours later will be considered to have voluntarily chosen to live and die with the capital. If you have any other intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After speaking, Neo Ike turned and left the meeting room. Two hours was a short time, and another portion of the nobles in the capital had secretly fled.

At the same time, martial law was imposed throughout the capital, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to move about on the streets.

It is worth mentioning that the capital city does not have any protective formations.

In the application of extraordinary power, even after so many years of hard work by the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent, there is still a huge gap between them and the Great Blue Dynasty.

They can inscribe defensive runes on smaller fortresses to create a medium-sized defensive formation.

However, when the area expanded to encompass the entire city, the advanced casting technology could not keep up.

Therefore, within the capital, only the royal palace has defensive runes that can activate the formation, while the outer city walls can only be defended by city defense cannons made with extraordinary forging technology.

Such cannons can withstand large armies, but they cannot withstand the invasion of individual strongmen.

When Li Fei arrived above the capital, he simply expanded his domain to encompass the entire city wall.

Then put away the Dao Domain.

All extraordinary weapons are hereby declared obsolete!
He did not linger and flew towards the direction of the royal palace.

A figure in a golden robe arrived above the palace, causing a stir among the soldiers below.

"I am coming--"

A loud sound resounded throughout the city.

No need for self-introduction; Li Fei's various legends had already spread throughout the capital during this period.

"To be or not to be, the choice is yours!"

The guards defending the city were all handpicked, but at this moment, a large number of soldiers were still panicking, and some laid down their weapons.

Outside the city, Li Tianyu's 30,000-strong army of barbarian killers was rapidly approaching.

Along the way, Li Fei's central army has captured several key strategic locations, all of which require troops to be deployed to defend them.

So in the end, he only led 30,000 barbarian troops to attack the capital of the Kingdom of Seferon.

This was, of course, also driven by self-interest, in order to enhance Li Tianyu's cultivation in military strategy.

"The Kingdom of Severn will never give up—!!!"

A furious roar came from the palace.

Immediately afterwards, a figure soared into the air and charged towards Li Fei!
The visitor was Neo Ike.

He was clad in armor, wielding a five-meter-long spear, his body radiating dazzling lightning, and riding a giant dragon made of lightning, just like a legendary dragon knight!

This is Neo Ekko's divine form—the [Divine Thunder Dragon Form].

The commander of the royal guard did not choose to activate the palace's grand formation to defend against Li Fei's attack.

Because he knew that whether he led his troops to besiege the city or activated the royal palace's great formation to defend it, he could not change the final outcome.

Therefore, he chose the tactic most effective at winning back people's hearts—

He challenged Li Fei alone!
This is also an important reason why he stayed in Wangdu.

The Kingdom of Seferon needs high-ranking nobles to stand up and resist to the very end!
"kill--"

Neo Ek's roar shattered the frozen fear above the capital. His heavy armor gleamed in the lightning, and the thunder dragon beneath him roared with destructive arcs of electricity on every scale!

The five-meter-long thunder spear hummed in his hand, its tip condensing into a point of blazing white star that pierced the air, pointing directly at the golden-robed figure hanging in the sky.

The air was torn apart, and a sharp sonic boom cloud exploded behind the dragon's body like a comet's tail, leaving a scorching and twisted trail!

For the first time, a flicker of sorrow rekindled in the eyes of the Imperial Guard soldiers within the city—

Their leader is launching a final assault on the invincible evil god!

Li Fei hovered in mid-air, his expression calm and undisturbed, as if he were looking down from the depths of the ocean at a trivial commotion.

At the Grandmaster level, Neo Ekko is undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse, even capable of going toe-to-toe with Wang Chengze, who was once ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking.

But for Li Fei now, such power is not much different from a gentle breeze.

The gap between the two sides is indeed like that between a god and a mortal!
It was only because this 'mortal' possessed such courage and loyalty that Li Fei decided to give the other party a sufficiently 'spectacular' death—

He made no movement, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body.

hum-

A dazzling golden sun, too bright to look at directly, appeared without warning above the capital!

There was no scorching heat wave hitting you, only an absolute, unquestionable majesty and vastness pouring down.

The vast land of China, majestic cities, mountains and rivers, plants and insects, countless living beings, and the cycle of reincarnation.
Everything in the world is contained within it!

It replaced the sky, becoming the only source of light and a symbol of grandeur at this moment.

As the dazzling golden light shone down, Neo Ekko's roaring thunder dragon was like a thin iceberg thrown into boiling water, emitting a piercing 'sizzle' sound, and the electric arcs became dim and sluggish.

Before Neo Ek had even truly come into contact with the Dao Domain, he had already felt an overwhelming and unstoppable force pressing down upon him. The thunder dragon's angry roar was choked deep in its throat by an invisible force.

The light shining down from above was like an invisible tide, relentlessly washing over the [Divine Thunder Dragon Form]!
Neo Ike's movements became incredibly sluggish, and instinctive fear filled his eyes.

But he did not back down.

Above the capital, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands, a dragon knight, gleaming with lightning, is charging toward the sun!

There was no earth-shattering collision, no raging surge of energy. There was only a silent, irreversible dissolution.

The Thunder Dragon's massive body gradually disintegrated into scattered golden dust, starting from its edges.

First came the dragon's tail, then its wings, then its ferocious head, and finally Neo Ike's upright body.
In the blink of an eye, the legendary duke of the Kingdom of Seferon, the Thunder Dragon who once shone brightly in the capital, vanished completely without leaving a trace.

The golden sun still hung high in the sky, making it difficult to look directly at it.

"."

The capital was deathly silent.

Li Fei withdrew his Dao Domain and his gaze swept over the desolate royal city.

He has discovered that apart from Neo Ek, there is no other Duke-level powerhouse in the city, let alone a Prince.

The anticipated resistance, which might have introduced some unpredictable changes, did not materialize, making the conquest seem somewhat uninteresting.

The calm voice rang out again, clearly reaching every trembling ear, like a final judgment from the heavens above:
"last chance."

"To be or not to be?"

February 3th, 926th year of the Western Continental Calendar.

The capital of the Kingdom of Seferon has fallen!
Thus, the Kingdom of Seferon, one of the three great powers of the Western Continent, has completely lost its ability to resist on the surface and is at the mercy of the Great Blue Dynasty.

12 month 17 day.

Wang Chengze, leading the left flank army, broke through all the defenses and successfully captured the capital of the Duchy of Kalan.

12 month 23 day.

Wenren Zheng, leading the right flank army, also broke through all the defenses of the Principality of Briss without any suspense and captured its capital.

At this point, three of the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent had been nominally conquered by the Great Blue Dynasty.

The royal families of these three countries are currently missing.
