Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 156 Recovery
Melinda's voice seemed to travel through the endless void, ringing clearly in Robin's ears: "He hasn't fully recovered yet, and his current strength is only slightly stronger than that of the Knight of Order. You still have a chance, and this is your last chance!"

Robin took a deep breath, and the power of order in his body surged. The golden chains of law were faintly visible on his body, emitting a sacred and majestic light.

He looked up at Grand Duke Frost Eagle without any fear in his eyes. Now he could only go ahead with it.

"I really want to give up! I don't want to live so desperately."

Gareth gripped the giant sword tightly in his hand, and the runes on the silver-white heavy armor lit up again, and powerful magical waves spread out.

He and the Sun and Moon Guards formed a triangle formation, protecting Robin and Morey in the middle, like an indestructible fortress.

Morey held the remnants of the magic gem tightly in his hand. Although his staff was broken, there was a determined light in his eyes, and he was ready to release the magic power again and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

Grand Duke Frosthawk stood in front of the mechanical throne, his mechanical body trembling slightly, as if excited for the upcoming battle.

He let out a sharp laugh, which came through a mechanical loudspeaker and echoed over Nanshi Village, making people's hair stand on end.

"You two really think you can stop me?" Grand Duke Frost Eagle snorted coldly, "Today, you will all become stepping stones for me to ascend to the throne of God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his arms violently, and countless silver-black mechanical spider silks shot out from his hands, like a dense rain of arrows, rushing towards everyone.

Those spider silks flickered with strange blue light and contained a powerful corrosive force. Wherever they passed, deep marks were instantly corroded on the ground.

Seeing this, Gareth immediately swung his giant sword, and the power of order turned into a golden barrier, protecting everyone inside.

The spider silk hit the barrier, making a sizzling sound and splashing sparks, but it could not break through this layer of defense.

Robin took advantage of this opportunity, his figure flashed, and he rushed towards Grand Duke Frosthawk like a golden lightning.

He raised the Blade of Order high in his hand, and the golden runes on the blade shone brightly. With the power to destroy the world, he slashed towards Grand Duke Frost Eagle.

Grand Duke Frosthawk's eyes flashed, and his mechanical arm instantly transformed into a huge mechanical shield, blocking Robin's attack.

There was a loud "clang" sound, sparks flew, and the powerful impact made Robin's arm numb, but he did not retreat at all. Instead, he stimulated a more powerful power in his body.

The Sun and Moon Guards also attacked at the same time. The Sun Guard's giant hammer burned with blazing white flames, and the Moon Guard's double swords were wrapped in dark blue frost. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, launched a fierce attack on Grand Duke Frost Eagle.

Grand Duke Frost Eagle was agile and could move freely between the attacks of the two men. From time to time, a defensive shield would flash on his mechanical body to block the attacks of the two men.

Morey was casting magic with all his strength in the back. He crushed the remnants of the magic gem in his hand, and the tremendous magic power burst out again.

Blue beams of magic shot out from his hands and hit Grand Duke Frost Eagle accurately. Although they could not cause fatal damage to him, they interfered with his actions.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, with both sides fighting back and forth and neither side giving in.

Each attack was so powerful that it shook the air around them. The ground of Nanshi Village was riddled with holes, and houses collapsed in the aftermath of the battle, raising clouds of dust.

Robin gritted his teeth, his mind fixed on one conviction: "I must stop Grand Duke Frosthawk. As long as we resolve this difficulty, we can return to Viscount Wilk's territory and continue our devastation!"

He kept adjusting the rhythm of his attacks, looking for the flaws of Grand Duke Frost Eagle.

Finally, during a fierce battle, Robin discovered a loophole in Grand Duke Frosthawk's defense. Without hesitation, he launched his most powerful attack, the power of order surging within him, all converging on the Blade of Order.

The golden light on the blade reached its peak, like a dazzling sun.

"Watch and Judge!" Robin roared and slashed the Blade of Order fiercely.

This attack, with unparalleled power, directly penetrated the defense of Grand Duke Frost Eagle and hit his mechanical core.

Grand Duke Frost Eagle's body shook violently, and an intense light flashed at the mechanical core. Then, cracks began to appear on his body, and parts fell off one after another.

"No... this is impossible!" Grand Duke Frost Eagle roared in despair, his voice filled with unwillingness and fear.

As the mechanical core shattered, his body gradually lost control and collapsed to the ground.

Robin and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They successfully stopped Grand Duke Frosthawk's crazy plan.

As Grand Duke Frost Eagle fell, it was as if the dominoes of fate had fallen.

The inverted clock tower and the mechanical throne gradually dissipated like a dream bubble, and the terrifying haze that shrouded the north also faded away.

Without any warning, white smoke began to rise from the bodies of the soldiers and believers who had been assimilated by the Mechanicus. They collapsed to the ground one after another, like bodies whose souls had been sucked out.

When the first trace of consciousness slowly returned, soldier Eric felt as if his head was hit by a heavy hammer, causing a dull pain.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw chaos before him: ruins, smoke everywhere, and his former companions who had fought side by side with him also had faces of confusion and pain on their faces.

"Where...is this? Why am I here?" he muttered to himself, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper.

Memories came flooding back like a tide. In those days when he was controlled by the mechanical will, he wielded a sharp blade, slashing at innocent people, blood splattered on his hands, and screams echoed in his ears.

He once burned down a village with his own hands and looked at the terrified eyes of the children without any mercy.

Now that he was awake, these images were like sharp blades, piercing his heart. "What have I done..."

Eric collapsed to his knees, tearing his hair frantically with his hands, tears streaming down his face.

When the believer Lisbeth woke up, she was lying in the cold mud. She struggled to get up and looked around. Not far away, she saw a tattered doll of a little girl. It looked very much like the girl next door whom she had killed with her own hands under the instigation of the Mechanicus.

Instantly, guilt and remorse overwhelmed her. She recalled how she had preached the teachings of the Machine God on the streets, bewitching those lost and leading them into the abyss of madness.

"I am a sinner, an unforgivable sinner..." Lisbeth collapsed on the ground, sobbing, her body shaking violently with excessive pain.

After regaining consciousness, the former general Carl looked at his blood-stained hands and roared to the sky, his voice full of despair.

He recalled the war when he commanded the assimilated soldiers to launch brutal charges again and again, and countless lives were lost under his orders.

"I betrayed my faith and betrayed this land..." He punched the ground, his hand was cut by the sharp stone, and blood was flowing, but he was unaware.
