No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

"The cycle of eras is unstoppable, and the evil thoughts of the abyss are trying to corrupt this ancient pure land."

As soon as Mu Zhixi finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, hundreds and thousands of void rifts filled with frenzied dark red suddenly tore open in the sky above, where the smoke from the battle had dissipated due to the golden light.

The dull thud of heavy armor scraping against each other and the neighing of warhorses shook the heavens and the earth, as an iron-blooded pressure, mixed with a strong smell of rust and an aura of absolute destruction, poured down.

The hopes that had just begun to rise among the survivors on the city walls were extinguished by this sudden strange phenomenon.

Many people raised their weapons with trembling hands, their eyes bloodshot, a sign of exhaustion from prolonged, high-intensity combat.

"What's going on? Could it be that the main force of this strange army has attacked?!"

"We're doomed! We've just escaped one trap only to fall into another. Are they trying to kill us? I don't want to die here!"

The crowd descended into extreme panic, and even the officers in command felt a chill run down their spines.

Shen Die leaned on her long sword and barely managed to stand up straight. Her neat black short hair was stained with blood, and her sharp, eagle-like eyes were fixed on the crack in the sky. Her taut muscles were completely tense.

As a chosen one of the gods, she represents the face of the entire Holy Realm and even Her Majesty the Goddess; she cannot back down in the slightest.

Moreover, everyone knew that Her Majesty the Goddess was right above them.

As long as the goddess remains here, Blue Star has room to continue its struggle.

Mu Zhixi's thoughts quickly swept over the highlighted GG pop-up on the system panel, and she decisively opened the loan page.

[Exclusive for experienced borrowers: Up to two million Faith Points can be borrowed, with a daily interest rate of 0.1%, flexible repayment options, and no fixed repayment date!]

Without hesitation, she chose the maximum amount and skillfully opened the character shop.

"The protection of the Holy Land is not without roots. Only souls bearing the mark of divine favor can become the anchor that keeps this world from collapsing in the final collapse of all realms."

The beautiful woman's face revealed a perfectly poignant expression of compassion, but inwardly she was rapidly calculating how to spend the money wisely.

[Limited-time 30% off: Old Royal Court Knight Squadron Gift Pack (Enhanced Version), containing one SS-rank Royal Court Knight Vice-Captain, two SS-rank Knight Squadron Captains, and three hundred S-rank Knights. Price: 4.8 million Faith Points.]

[Ding—The loan of two million Faith Points has been credited to your account. After deducting four million eight thousand Faith Points, your current balance is: one million nine hundred and ninety-five thousand two hundred points.]

Mu Zhixi confirmed the purchase order without even blinking.

She naturally had to seize this opportunity to use borrowed money to create a grand spectacle and then reap double the profits from the believers. After all, as long as the spectacle was grand enough, the faith points given by the players on Blue Star would definitely allow her to make a fortune.

Mu Zhixi raised her hand, her slender fingers lightly touching the air.

The void rippled violently, and a dark red spear was the first to emerge, colliding head-on with the eerie surging tide that was approaching the base.

The three hundred newly purchased knights, together with the two hundred knights previously used on the Myriad Races server, made up a total of five hundred fully armed Royal Knights who, like a deep red ocean, crashed straight into the raging and bizarre enemy horde.

The proud knights, along with their lances and warhorses, broke through the strange army's formation with overwhelming force.

The iron hooves of warhorses trampled the severed limbs scattered on the ground. Spears stood like a forest, and black blood and mutilated bodies splattered everywhere. The stench of decay filled the air, but it was quickly covered by the smell of gunpowder emanating from the knights.

The SS-rank deputy captain took the lead, with the rest of the knights following closely behind, crushing all the strange creatures that dared to block their way.

The players on the city wall were stunned. Many of them didn't even notice their weapons falling to the ground, completely overwhelmed by the grand and tragic battlefield scene.

Imagine if they were facing a team like this...

Since being sent back to Blue Star, Han Yue's slender figure appeared quite composed amidst the bloodstains. He didn't have such grand plans as Wen Gu, but he keenly grasped the core interests in Mu Zhixi's words.

"The mark of divine favor...that's the key!"

Han Yue's heart burned with excitement. This meant that if he wanted to gain the true protection of the Holy Land, he had to become "one of their own." This was not just about clinging to a powerful figure; it was about buying himself the best possible insurance in the apocalypse.

After thinking it through, he straightened his collar and walked quickly to Shen Die's side. "Everyone, don't panic. Please take a close look at the insignia on the knights' chests."

Following Han Yue's finger, Shen Die narrowed her eyes, her molten gold pupils reflecting the blood-red crown banners fluttering in the wind. "Those are the knights of the old royal court. How could they obey Your Majesty's orders?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding players exchanged bewildered glances.

It is common knowledge that the old royal court and the holy domain are mortal enemies, but now these two forces have strangely reached an agreement, and the royal court's elite troops have even directly acted as the goddess's vanguard.

Mu Zhixi held the little dragon girl rubbing her eyes in her arms, her feet treading on the void, remaining silent about the whispers below.

Little Dragon Girl, still half asleep, grabbed a strand of Mu Zhixi's hair and rubbed it against her obediently, completely unfazed by the bloody scene below.

I don't know if this girl is truly obedient or truly naive.

Mu Zhixi gently patted Xiaolongnu's back, took out a high-grade pastry produced by the system, and stuffed it into her hand. This scene once again filled the players below with awe.

For some reason, if it were someone else, they might feel that doing this during a battle between two armies was a bit too much...

But when it came to Her Majesty the Goddess, they felt that the Goddess loved all living beings and that this was only natural.

Mu Zhixi must maintain her aloof and enigmatic goddess demeanor. As long as she doesn't offer any explanations, these imaginative players will naturally fill in all the logical loopholes for her.

For example, Han Yue has already begun to put his skills to use.

"It seems that the power struggle between the Holy Land and the Royal Court is far more complex than we imagined. Your Majesty is using the Royal Court's sword to shield our Blue Star from disaster. Such strategic planning is truly admirable."

He turned to face the players who were still in a daze, his voice rising a few decibels.

"Don't you understand? In this world, who else but that supreme being could command the royal court so willingly!"

The survivors around her nodded in agreement, their eyes blazing with even more fervent light, and the notification sounds of faith points flooded Mu Zhixi's mind.

Just as the monsters outside the defensive line were cleared out, a denser darkness gradually spread from the rear of the eerie legion.

The darkness, as if it were a living thing, devoured all the raging monsters along the way.

The players' expressions changed again. No way, there's more?

The dull thud of hooves and the neighing of warhorses echoed once more from the shadows. Several tall, black figures appeared and disappeared in the mist. They too were clad in heavy armor, but their armor was covered with the marks of time and dark red, decaying bloodstains.

The knights did not raise any banners; only an abyss of malice and bloodlust swirled in the air.

This group of people were the remnants of the Chaos Warband generated by Mu Zhixi's previous passive activation of the fake-to-real. The out-of-control war machines finally crawled through the gaps in the instance to the battlefield of Blue Star.

They were surrounded by black mist, and pale flames burned on the bones of their mounts. Every step they took caused the ground to crack and collapse.

These ancient monsters, who should not have been here in the first place, with their extreme hatred for living beings, cast their malicious gazes at the humans on the city wall and the holy figure in the sky.

Shen Die's fingers gripped the long sword so tightly that they left white marks, and she could clearly feel the deadly danger emanating from those black knights.

All she could do was remind the players around her not to cause trouble for Her Majesty the Goddess, "Everyone prepare to fight! We must not let these things get even a step closer to the city walls!"
