Therefore, the king would use a stupid yet easy-to-understand attack tactic, splitting up the king's army and attacking each city as if sending their heads off.

The purpose is to allow others to be like Laura now, so that his own camp can gain experience in battle and become stronger.

After all, the power of the Hermits is more terrifying than the King's Army. Otherwise, how could the Hermits allow the King to deliberately weaken their power? The King's Army is also the power of the Hermits.

"Don't worry, my friend. The people defending the other three satellite cities of the Thor family are not weaklings. We are well prepared and will not waste the efforts of you and your friend."

Victor comforted Lafayette and then signaled the butler to change the channel.

Now that Laura has inherited the Williams family's demigod title "Blood Moon Messenger", Duke Sasha cannot defeat Laura, but Laura is very exhausted and cannot easily smash Duke Sasha's head.

What will happen next for "Newcom City" will only be a stalemate and a prolonged battle.

There will be no life or death today. The battle situation in "Newco City" is under control. The next thing to look at is the other three satellite cities.

"Okay, master."

The butler then disappeared into the shadows.

At this time, the live broadcaster of "Newco City" was replaced by another member of the Williams family.

Soon, the image of "Chicago" appeared on the screen. This is the satellite city closest to "Newcom".

At this time, the "City of Chicago" was in a mess, with large and small rockfalls everywhere.

A stone giant with a body length of three meters stood in the city street. The "City of Chicago" famous for its flowers and perfumes has now completely turned into a ruin like an ancient relic.

The flower beds that were once everywhere in Chicago have now become stone beds, and the bright and colorful city is completely covered by the grayish white color of rocks.

The one confronting the stone giant was a female knight wearing templar armor, that was Raphne.

"Raphne is still in stage six, right?"

Looking at the weak girl standing alone in front of the huge stone giant, Lafayette asked Victor inquiringly.

It's not Lafayette's fault, after all, Heilite has too many girlfriends.

There were so many people present at the time, who knows how many were not there.

"Yes, Raphne is still at stage six. Her magic power has increased fast enough, and she is only one step away from becoming a Valkyrie. Although she can continue to stay in the 'Trial of the Lake' of the Holy Church and wait until she becomes a Valkyrie before coming out, it seems that there is no holy seal suitable for her."

Victor told Raphne the reason why she was here.

Ravni chose to become a Valkyrie and became Alexia's candidate student. She then improved her magic power to meet the requirements for entering the "Trial of the Lake".

Although she became a Valkyrie follower in the "Trial of the Lake", she was unable to continue upgrading to become a Valkyrie.

"The Holy Seal of the Valkyrie? I remember that it was the power bestowed by the Holy Seal Goddess, but the Holy Seal needs to be comprehended by the Valkyrie herself."

Lafayette originally did not pay too much attention to the Templar Church. After all, he was a nobleman and would not have any dealings with the Templar Church unless something unexpected happened.

However, the Holy Maiden of the Holy Seal Goddess, Heatherly, and the Valkyrie, Annaletia, are both his son’s girlfriends.

This forced Lafayette to catch up on the things about the Holy Church. Now he roughly understood the source of power of the Goddess of the Holy Seal and the Valkyries.

Victor also didn't mind giving Lafayette some lessons about the Templar Church.

"Yes, Raphne was hesitant in her heart. She had not found the 'light' in herself, so she was unable to condense the Holy Seal, let alone become a Stage 7 Valkyrie."

This is also equivalent to the trial for the Valkyries to enter the seventh stage, which requires understanding of themselves, persistence in faith, and the gift of the Goddess of Holy Seal.

Of course, there is no need to mention the gifts of the Holy Seal Goddess. Raphne is Blacklett's godsister, and Heatherly, the incarnation of the Holy Seal Goddess, is Blacklett's wife.

What Raphni lacks now is how to find what she wants and how to discover the "light" that she possesses.

"This war is an opportunity for Raphne. She may be able to find the answer within herself during the battle."

"Only when one discovers the 'light' within oneself will the Goddess of the Holy Seal grant him power, and that power will be manifested as the Holy Seal."

"There are only six Valkyries in the Templar Church at present. Whether there can be a seventh one depends on Raphne herself."

The greatest thing about the Templar Church, and also the most terrifying thing for other forces, is that it can absorb all talented and loyal believers and grant them power.

The nobles all rely on their bloodline, and their bloodline and talents are determined at birth.

Therefore, nobles were able to become nobles, while commoners seemed to have the hope of having the same power as nobles only through the Holy Church.

Among the six Valkyries of the Cathedral Church, only the second sister Cecilia and Alexia are of noble birth.

Cecilia was the daughter of a viscount, and Alexia was the daughter of a baron.

The other five were all village girls, commoners, or orphans, and the same is true for Raphne on the screen.

"Well, I hope Raphne can resolve the doubts in her heart and awaken her own holy seal. Her opponent is very difficult to deal with."

Looking at the girl facing the huge stone giant alone, Lafayette began to worry about his daughter-in-law.

"This stone giant is the eleventh 'Rock King' of the Hermit Order, and holds the noble status of an earl."

"He is good at using earth magic. Although it is also at stage six, his combat power is very strong."

"Whether it's defense or attack, Rock King can control it with ease. He can create a city out of thin air, and he can also destroy a city."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lafayette and Victor saw the eleventh "Rock King" on the screen summon a meteorite.

With a strong and terrifying sense of oppression, a group of meteorites burning with fire smashed towards the thin figure of Raphne.

Even the smallest meteorite in that group of meteorites was twice as big as Raphne. Looking at the meteorites falling from the sky, you can understand why the city of flowers and perfumes, "Chicago", has become a sponge-like ruin before your eyes.

Facing the meteorites falling overhead, Raphne could only tightly grip the knight's sword in her hand, kneel on one knee in front of herself and summon the magic command spell.

As the magic command spell was activated, Raphne was covered by a sacred light, and the falling meteorites instantly submerged her figure.

Chapter 276: So you are waiting for a critical hit?

Chicago city.

The meteorite swarm that covered most of the sky above the city has already fallen, and the ground around it is shaking violently.

The suffocating air pressure and the stench of burning covered the kilometer area where Raphne was. The rubble that looked like artillery shells was enough to crush all nearby buildings, let alone human bodies.

"I will believe in light. My light will illuminate the road ahead and keep darkness and death away from my back..."

Raphne chanted over and over again, and the magic command spell under her feet continuously released a light curtain covering Raphne's body.

Such a light curtain is the embodiment of her faith. The stronger her willpower is, the more terrible the attack can be withstood. However, just a little slackness will cause the light curtain to collapse.

This is sacred magic, and also Raphne's ascetic practice.

When all the meteorites fell, everything around them gradually calmed down, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing a scene of charred and pitted city ruins. But Raphni was unharmed, and her faith light curtain never wavered even a little.

Looking at Raphne who was slowly standing up from the ground, the eleventh seat "Rock King" stared at the female knight with his gray eyes, and his dull voice vibrated the air through the rock armor.

"Oh? Even facing such an attack, you won't feel afraid?"

"No, this is not what I fear the most. A meteorite alone cannot be my worst nightmare."

Raphne held the knight's sword in her hand, and the light emitted by her armor was not at all obscured by the burning and shattering meteorites around her.

Looking at Raphne like this, the eleventh "Rock King" did not say anything more. The previous attack had already confirmed that what Raphne said was true.

This female knight of the Templar Church was serious as she remained calm in the face of the meteor shower that easily destroyed most of the city.

In that case, there is no need to say more. The next magic command seal emerged from the arm covered by huge rocks of the eleventh seat "Rock King".

"You may see me as a test to enter the seventh stage of 'Valkyrie', but it doesn't matter. I am willing to be your test."

"It's just that this trial is dangerous and can lead to death. Everyone who has fought me has died so far."

"So what can you do? Tough female knight, try this, the sixth level magic rock formation."

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground around Raphne suddenly bulged.

The ground that originally seemed somewhat soft had now turned into two hard stone walls, on which remained the burning flames from the meteorite's fall.

The stone wall did not give Ravni any time to prepare, and in an instant it crushed towards her like a tidal wave.

"Fearless Light!"

Ravni only had time to say this before she heard a loud bang. Two stone walls as big as trucks closed together, and Ravni's figure disappeared into the stone walls.

But judging from the raised part in the middle of the stone wall, Raphney was fine.

Ravni's willpower is stronger than a stone wall.

"Eleventh seat, our strengths are equal, you are at stage six and so am I. If it is just this level, you cannot shake me."

As several rays of light shone through the stone wall, Raphney slowly walked out from the broken stone wall.

Looking at the eleventh seat of the Hermit Order in front of her, her words seemed to irritate the other party, but that was the fact.

The eleventh seat, "Rock King", is good at earth magic. His strength is only stage six, not stage seven. Before the ninth seat of the Hermit Society, he was at stage six.

Raphne is also at stage six. Everyone is at stage six and none of them have the same terrifying means as stage seven. Compared to stage six, stage seven has an additional "demigod title".

"Well, the 'demigod title' is important and powerful, I admit that, but we are all confused, right? If you can't see your own path clearly, you will always be stagnant. I have been stuck at that last step for more than two hundred years."

A face slowly emerged from the face of the more than three-meter-tall stone giant. It was the real body of the "Rock King" hidden in the stone giant. His old face looked like he was over three hundred years old.

Then the face of the "Rock King" returned to the heavy, statue-like stone giant. His time had already stopped when he entered the shell of the stone giant.

The demigod title is not just a necessary symbol for stage seven. Without the demigod title, no matter how powerful your magic is, it will be useless. It can only simply enhance the power of the sixth-level magic you release.

Because the title of demigod comes with a power that is as its name suggests, it is basically equivalent to switching from an ordinary magician profession to another unique profession. The magic power, combat method and magic are all completely different from those in stage six.

The duel in stage six was still simply a battle using the magic that everyone was familiar with.

"Really? Two hundred years is indeed a long time, but I will not curl up in that seemingly powerful and terrifying shell like you. I don't have that much time to waste, and I will not retreat. Since I haven't found the light in my heart, I will keep moving forward until I find it."

Compared to the eleventh "Rock King" who is hiding in the body of the stone giant, Raphne possesses the so-called: youthful vigor.

Although Raphne did want to light up her "Holy Seal" and advance to the Valkyrie through this battle, she couldn't appear here rashly and unprepared.

Lafayette had already told everyone the configuration of the King's Army in advance.

Except for Duke Sasha and the seventh seat who temporarily joined the King's army, the twelfth seat, the eleventh seat and the tenth seat are all stage six. The probability of Raphne encountering stage six is ​​very high.

Of course, Raphne, who is only one step away from becoming a stage-seven Valkyrie with the "Holy Seal", is not immune to fighting even if she encounters a stage-seven Valkyrie.

At least the eleventh "Rock King" in stage six cannot kill Raphne easily.

"Haha, is that so? Young people are always so stubborn and blind. When you face the approaching death, perhaps you will understand how weak you are."

The eleventh seat's words seemed to be teaching a lesson to the ignorant juniors, with the tone of someone who had experienced it.

"I'll know after I try it. I won't stop because I have to catch up with someone. Otherwise, I'll be forgotten by everyone, even though I was the first one to come here."
