The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 151 Quick Victory

After watching the card game "Never Sleeps" for a while, Leo got bored; he had absolutely no interest in gambling or drugs.

Just then, the warm guidance from my palm appeared again, and the feedback distance wasn't very far.

"There are actually light plants here?"

"That's true, but the fact that you don't need to plant light plants doesn't mean there aren't any light plants."

He pretended to be bored and wandered around the yard. Soon he came to a warm, guiding corner where there happened to be a large, bare tree. It was a giant cypress whose main trunk had broken off, but new branches had grown from the broken point.

The sky was too bright; without careful observation, it was almost impossible to see the light it emitted.

Touch the broken part of the tree trunk.

A thunderous voice resounded: "I have never witnessed a dragon battling a giant beast, but I have always felt the oppression of ferocious bones. Even if my trunk is broken, I will still support a ray of light again. Let me pass on to you your self-created secret technique—Unyielding Will."

Followed by.

Before Leo could prepare himself, a scorching hot current rushed into his body through his palm.

Driven by this fiery current, the Holy Light Battle Aura circulated at high speed, and the Holy Mark was also activated by the fiery current, stirring up the Holy Light elements that had settled throughout its body. The two forces were simultaneously manipulated, forming a wondrous entanglement.

This force seemed to begin by sealing off the body, eventually sealing off Leo's soul as well, protecting it under the force's protection.

It was as if a scaffold had been built along his bones, blood, and muscles.

Leo didn't need to try to feel that even if he were impaled by a Shadow Beast, pierced through the chest by a longsword, or struck by lightning, he would not fall. As long as this power support system remained intact, he could continue fighting.

"hiss!"

He gasped. This was the ultimate technique; only after a Knight of Light had fused secret skills and mystical arts could this ultimate technique be formed.

Unexpectedly, the giant cypress directly inherited one of his profound skills.

But this profound technique is a bit strange, somewhat like forcibly locking blood, and it locks blood in both the body and soul. As long as there is still a little bit of holy light battle qi and holy light element in the body, one can stand firm.

"So strong!"

"But—" When the flames dissipated and the support structure disappeared, he felt the soreness in his muscles.

My head was buzzing, like I had a concussion.

It took him a while to recover. He stared at the giant cypress tree and exclaimed in amazement, "This aftereffect—just inheriting the profound meaning is already so painful. If I were to actually use the profound meaning on the battlefield—the aftereffects would probably leave me unconscious for three to five days."

But in any case.

The ultimate skill—unyielding will—is a powerful trump card in times of crisis, and it also provides him with a reference.

How to combine secret techniques and methods.

Although the profound meaning of "Unyielding Will" is not a fusion of secret techniques or methods, but rather something that the Giant Cypress Light Plant comprehended on its own, its operating principle is the same. Both of these require the manipulation of two extraordinary powers: Holy Light Battle Qi and Holy Light Element.

This gave him a great deal of reference space.

Understand how to integrate secret techniques and methods into a new profound meaning.

"Thank you, Professor Giant Cypress." Coming back to his senses, Leo looked at the Giant Cypress sapling that had broken and then regenerated in front of him with great respect. This sapling was truly a symbol of indomitable will and was worthy of his emulation.

The flower language reward is in hand.

Leo quietly returned to the card table and stood behind the Baron. In just a short while, the Baron had already lost dozens of gold coins.

Many rural estates earn no more than that in a year.

The game lasted for more than an hour, with the Baron's wins and losses generally hovering around fifty gold coins.

Leo gradually got to know all the nobles at the card table, all of whom were barons from various counties of the kingdom, families eager to make a name for themselves in battle, and who were gathered under the command of a prince who was equally eager to make a name for himself.

Standing around the card table were several other second sons of families with similar backgrounds to Leo.

Barons unanimously kept their heirs at home and took their second sons with them; this was almost a tradition among the nobility.

finally.

There were ten barons who arrived in Hill City, which meant ten knightly orders. Adding the three knightly orders that the prince brought with him, there were a total of thirteen knightly orders, with nearly four or five thousand knights. The scale was larger than expected.

After the card game ended, Prince Hendler hosted a banquet for ten barons at his palace.

"You are all pillars of my White Rose Kingdom. The border kingdoms and the pioneering empire are at war and barely able to defend themselves, yet you dare to invade our borders and abduct wondrous creations from our territory!"

Prince Hendler, raising his wine glass, shouted, "This is a serious provocation! The Cossack king claims it was an unauthorized action by border nobles, yet he advocates a peaceful handshake between the two countries—this is intolerable!"

The current king of the border kingdom is called Cossack Long Red Podmi.

The prince proclaimed loudly: "Therefore, our king has ordered us to march upon the border kingdoms and punish the border nobles who have provoked our nation. Their list is as follows: Earl Sebastian Elderwood, Baron Eric Dandelion, Baron Sylvie Bellflower, Baron Lyra Cornflower, Baron Rowan Black Truffle ————"

One earl, four barons, and a bunch of lords and knights whose names are omitted.

"The king's objective for us is to crush these nobles, plunder their lands, and make them forever remember the thunderous blow from the Kingdom of White Rose!"

Prince Hendler roared, "The Holy Light is with us, gentlemen! Do you have the confidence to sweep away the target?!"

"Yes!" the barons cheered.

"Alright, everyone, let's drink this cup to the brim!"

A war mobilization was completed at the banquet; little alcohol was consumed, and the dinner ended in half an hour.

After the meeting, Prince Hendler summoned the barons and began formally planning the battle, with Leo, the baron's second son, also being allowed to attend.

"With the army assembled, the border kingdoms must have already received the news, but this time we are launching an open attack," Prince Hendler said. "If the Cossack king did not want a full-scale war with our country, he would not have mobilized the knights to prepare for battle."

"Your Highness, does that mean we only need to deal with the resistance of one earl and four barons this time?"

"That's true, but the Cossack king will definitely make arrangements behind the scenes, and more nobles from border kingdoms might spontaneously come to help," Prince Hendler scoffed. "Therefore, we need a swift victory!"

He pointed on the map with his walking stick: "The governor of Hill City will mobilize ten thousand laborers to transport our loot, so this time all we need to do is attack, attack, and attack again, giving them no chance to breathe!"

"clear!"

"Furthermore," Prince Hendler paused, "the King has stipulated that merit in this counterattack will not be based on wealth, but on prisoners of war. Capturing a baron will be a major achievement! Capturing an earl will grant the King a promotion to earl!"

This statement came out.

The barons' breathing quickened; they wished they could rush to the battlefield immediately and capture Count Sebastian Elderwood.

"What if we kill him?" a baron asked.

"Killing a noble will halve your merit," Prince Hendler responded. In wars between nobles, even national wars, the focus is on capturing prisoners. "Avoid killing nobles unless absolutely necessary. As for knights, no such requirement applies."
