The ancient Arilan of the old millennium has accumulated tens of thousands of years, and the ancient mysteries are scattered among the countries. Many seemingly weak countries often have unimaginable trump cards.

We can imagine the difficulty of that war——

It is also conceivable that the united people gathered under the banners of 'Spirit' and 'Emperor', resolutely challenging the gods!

——After all, it was after the war.

Those who were defeated miraculously joined the expeditionary force.

Whether voluntarily or forced, they have all become the "sharp edge" that sweeps through the world.

...

From east to west, and from west to east.

The wise man of that era, the prophetess Arisa Aiinbeth who followed the army into battle, praised the war, saying it was a miracle that had never happened in the Ariel Continent. Others said the war had brought great destruction to the world.

But one thing is for sure.

Old Millennium, Genesis, 9997.

It was a turbulent year for the world.

It was also a year when the world was shattered.

Pelagien, Brar, Ethor, Bedra...all the countries now recorded in history books, all the countries now united under the 'Empire', were swept away like dust.

The empire's rebirth began that year.

The kingdom's expedition also ended on that day.

'Ling' and 'Huang', Li Re and Qu Shenyin, will be forever engraved at the highest point in history!

——"The End of a Kingdom and the Birth of an Empire"

Chapter 548

The second king of the Ariel Continent

"The Soul King's army has arrived at the border of the principality... Our scouts reported that the enemy did not enter directly, but stationed at the border."

"They came so quickly... It seems that, except for us, all the surrounding countries are about to be swept away!"

"The church didn't seem to react either... Angel of Mercy Cecia and Angel of the Abyss Talos seemed to be controlled by the Soul King, causing the church members to collectively lose their power."

In the far west of the Ariel Continent, in the Principality of Kent—someone stood on a high point in the capital, gazing at the adjacent azure sea, and said so.

The oncoming air flow was swirling, carrying with it a strong scent of the sea. Pale seagulls were flying by in the sunlight, like pure lightning, cutting silver tracks across the blue sky. The entire city, illuminated by the midday sun, presented a pure white glow.

This is true from the residential areas, to the market buildings in the commercial district, to the docks by the sea, and even the sails of the sailboats docked at the docks.

Those who walk here carry the breath of the ocean.

——'Land of Seagulls'.

As one of the four major duchies in the Alaya continent after the "Kingdom", and the only country in the entire Alaya continent that is close to the sea, the Duchy of Kent has always had such a nickname. It is also a country with developed commerce - different from the "Orc Country" Buragan and the "Mining Country" Brar, the people of this country can easily travel between the countries in the Alaya continent by relying on the inner ocean of Alaya connected to the sea. The water flow from west to east and the extensive waterways have given them extremely advanced technology in the shipbuilding industry.

However, that is precisely why.

This country lacks the bravery and fighting spirit of other countries...

It is even more difficult for a purely commercial country to have the courage to fight to the death.

Without the help of the church, it is basically impossible to resist foreign enemies!

“This is really difficult.”

"Or should we surrender?"

The man standing on the tallest building in the capital of the Duchy of Kent sighed and said so. He stood on the top of the extremely high tower, his feet on the plain floor. He had a panoramic view of the entire city and the dock, and the expression on his face was somewhat melancholy.

The enemy is clearly at the gates.

But the people in the city didn't react at all... But that's right, even if the 'Spirit King' broke in, or the Poor People attacked, they would still do their business as usual - the Covenant of Abraham didn't affect them much at all.

Well, isn't it the same for yourself?

Big deal.

Just don't be the 'Grand Duke'... I heard that except for the beginning in Atlantis, the 'Spirit King' never killed all the powerful people at other times. He just asked the powerful people to hand over most of their power and share it equally with the have-nots.

This is not difficult for the dignitaries of the entire Duchy of Kent... After all, everyone is doing business, from the dignitaries to the penniless, the only difference is the scale of the business.

"Grand Duke..."

That's when.

A voice sounded behind this person, speaking respectfully.

"what's up?"

The young Duke of Kent paused for a moment after hearing this, and glanced sideways at the person who was speaking behind him. He said, "Is it the Spirit King's army that has broken through the border?"

"No...it's not..."

The tall figure kneeling on one knee behind him, wearing heavy armor and with a long sword hanging from his waist, was obviously a powerful magic knight - even a legendary knight. He looked at the Grand Duke Kent in front of him and hesitated to speak, but finally said with determination: "Yes, Her Majesty Renata Sullei Kent, the 'Iron Lord', has replied!"

The Grand Duke of Kent's eyes suddenly widened!

'The Iron Lord' - Renata Sullei Kent, as her name suggests... is the one mentioned by Grand Duke Kent at the Sky Castle Conference. His background is that among the countries of the entire Ariel Continent, besides the 'Spirit King', she is one of the other two kings of magic!

She is the only female among the three kings, but also the oldest one. It is said that she has existed since the founding of the Duchy of Kent. She is the youngest daughter of the first Grand Duke of Kent, the magic king who founded the Duchy of Kent hundreds of years ago. It has been nearly three hundred years since then. She is a veritable "ancestor"-level figure. If we say who in this world has the greatest ability to stop the army of the Spirit King, then this person is definitely ranked first or second!

Of course, it is precisely because he has existed for such a long time, and his whereabouts have been uncertain for a long time, and even the descendants of the Kent family cannot find his trace. Many people suspect that this "Iron King" has actually ceased to exist.

Fortunately, his name has always been engraved on the top of the "Castle in the Sky" and has never been erased.

This is why many people, although they have some doubts in their hearts, have never dared to take any action - they did not dare to have the slightest desire to covet the "Principality of Kent" which only focuses on developing water trade.

Over the long years, successive Dukes of Kent have never given up trying to contact this 'Water Lord'... until today!

The Grand Duke of Kent of this generation was slightly excited, as he certainly would be.

If not there is no way.

Who wants to surrender without a fight?

For a duke, for a top-level magical dignitary who upholds the honor and heritage of his family, this is undoubtedly a huge shame!

Even though he did not have the ambition of the Duke of Braganza or the Duke of Brar, he was born into a powerful family and had the most basic sense of honor and disgrace.

But he suddenly paused.

"Your expression..."

"Anything else you want to say?"

He asked hesitantly.

"Yes..." The legendary knight took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Her Majesty Renata Surrey Kent did respond to our contact."

"However..."

"But what?" Seeing the great knight hesitate to speak for several times, Grand Duke Kent felt inexplicably uneasy.

"However, the response was——"

"She has arrived at the Spirit King's tent. It seems that she is going alone to fight the Spirit King to the death!"

The Duke of Kent: “?”

...

"what!"

at the same time.

Border of the Kingdom of Kent.

A comfortable hum came from the tent, and the spilled wine crystals left deep marks on the carpet on the floor.

The drinker's face flushed slightly, his long silver hair swayed, and his pale and thick eyelashes rose and swayed along with his eyes like a palm-leaf fan.

She sat on the ground, raised the wine jug in her hand, drank it all, and then slammed it down on the table in front of her.

"Not bad, it's worthy of being brewed by the elves. I've been in the south for so many years, and I haven't had much wine of this quality!"

She said with such emotion, and then said: "You can even recruit orcs, half-giants and half-elves. You are worthy of being the only one who dared to break the Covenant of Abraham in thousands of years!"

Such words echoed in the tent.

Such a voice made the figure sitting across from the table smile and say, "Chenghui, one million gold coins."

"What gold coins?" The person who spoke was stunned.

"The price of the wine in your hand."

The man spoke in a natural tone.

"Ah... this?" The man raised the wine jug in his hand and shook it, "Oh, I drank it all... I'll just owe you the money for the wine... No, why should I pay you back for the wine?"

"Not only do you have to pay me back for the wine, you also have to compensate me for my mental damages—" The person opposite knocked on the table: "Do you know how much damage an old man suddenly barging in has caused to my young heart?"

"What do you mean by old immortal? Are you scolding me?"

The silver-haired man suddenly widened his blue eyes!

"Why not?"

The person on the other side spread his hands and acted very confident!

The silver-haired man glared again and again at the black-haired, black-clothed 'young man' opposite him who was smiling - the tent suddenly became quiet - during the silence, Li Re still had a smile on his face, he was surprised by the arrival of the man in front of him, but he didn't find it surprising.

This is probably what is meant by the unexpected but also reasonable, right?

After sweeping across the countries surrounding Bragenji, the army has now arrived at the border of the 'Principality of Kent' on the western coast of the Ariel Continent. The angel projection that Li Re carried with him also blocked the passage between the sky and the earth silently as before, slowing down the pace of the 'angel projection' in the principality.

But the army was stationed on the border.

Except for a short break.

To some extent, it was also because Li Re wanted to see whether the person in front of him would show up - the biggest "backer" of the Principality of Kent, the king who was on par with himself in the world, the "Iron Lord" Renata Surrey Kent!

Of course, it is impossible for him not to know about the existence of the other two kings besides himself - especially the 'immortal old man' in front of him who had lived for hundreds of years!

Although Li Re didn't hold out much hope when he decided to stay and wait, after all, the 'Iron Lord' had not appeared in the world for two hundred years, and the probability of him suddenly appearing was not very high.

However, this is an 'opponent' worth looking forward to after all, and Li Re doesn't mind giving it a try.

It turned out that his attempt was correct.

The 'Iron Lord' who had not appeared in the world for hundreds of years had really arrived - he broke into this place an hour ago. The magic knights, magicians, and the penniless people who had followed him in the battles, as well as the orcs, half-giants, and half-elves he had recruited along the way, could not stop him.

She just walked in, and was attracted by the drinks on Li Re's table.

And this is what really surprised Li Re.

He was surprised that... this magic lord who had lived for hundreds of years looked so young and not old at all!

Is it a special half-human race... or is it caused by special magical abilities?

Yes.

Not only the appearance, but also the essence is true!

Sitting in the tent, Li Re responded to the glare of the 'Iron King' without concealing his gaze. Under her long silver hair, one could see a handsome and heroic face. She was tall and clad in a white robe, which concealed her slender and graceful figure. The wine dripping from the corners of her lips fell on the fullness of her clothes, swaying gently like dewdrops.

She also carried a seemingly ordinary iron sword on her back.

the moment before.

It was just this iron sword that easily suppressed all the strong men in the army and walked into this place leisurely!

Of course, to say that Li Re’s heart was really hurt is not true...even if this person is indeed very strong, even if this person is indeed worthy of Li Re’s attention.

Instead, another person was hiding behind Li Re and trembling...

The 'royal princess' and 'saint of wisdom' Arisa Aiinbeis faced the confrontation between the two 'kings' without daring to breathe!

"Well...never mind!"

Here.

The silent standoff was soon broken.
