Chapter 279 - 141: Control, Kingdom in Turmoil!
Chapter 279: Chapter 141: Control, Kingdom in Turmoil!
David saw this and directly swung the Silver Dragon Sword in his hand. A blast of Silver Dragon Sword Qi surged out, completely engulfing the Kingdom Legion Commander!
Boom!
After the brilliance of the Silver Dragon faded away.
The Kingdom Legion Commander lay in a pool of blood!
At that moment, the world fell silent, and in everyone’s eyes, there was only the figure holding the Silver Dragon Sword.
A moment later.
The knights of the Silver Dragon Knight Order suddenly knelt on one knee together!
The Silver Dragon Sword Qi had completely conquered these Silver Dragon Knights.
And upon seeing the Silver Dragon Knight Order submit, those ordinary soldiers also dropped their weapons and kneeled to show their submission!
The battle of the Eastern Territory came to an end in a way that no one had expected!
...
Inside Lion City.
Due to Duke Frost Wolf’s victory, everything fell into chaos.
No one had thought that the Kingdom Army would lose, and so thoroughly at that!
Next came the time for reckoning, of course.
As for the nobles inside the city who had betrayed the Duke of the Eastern Border, David handed them directly over to Lune to deal with.
David, on the other hand, began to assimilate the Silver Dragon Knights and the soldiers left by the Kingdom Army.
The Silver Dragon Knight Order had already sworn loyalty again under the witness of the Heart of Contract.
Of course, these Silver Dragon Knights’ loyalty was to the owner of the Silver Dragon Sword, not himself.
This somewhat weakened the solidity of the contract.
But as long as the Silver Dragon Sword was still in his hand, the Silver Dragon Knights would not betray.
If otherwise, they would suffer the backlash of the Heart of Contract, at worst inflicting severe soul damage or even death.
With his current Tier Six Spiritual Power, there were not many knights who could withstand the backlash of the Heart of Contract.
Of course, when it came to vampires, he would still choose to use a Spirit Contract for control.
Although this would damage the souls of these vampires, causing a decrease in their power, it ensured absolute loyalty.
In fact, the strongest means of control was still the Holy Light Power of the Holy Light Church.
As long as one had this Holy Light Power within, they could never betray the Holy Light God.
After assimilating all the nobles in Lion City, David specially met with the Holy Light Bishop of the Eastern Territory.
The Holy Light Church would not partake in the struggles for royal power.
But the vampires that appeared in the northern city yesterday caught the attention of the Holy Light Church.
David naturally acted ignorant and simply said those vampires were just taking advantage of the situation.
For a long time, the Holy Light Church had been David’s biggest enemy.
If the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t mind eliminating the Holy Light Church in both the Northern Lands and the Eastern Territory completely.
Of course, now was not the time.
After handling the matters in Lion City, David returned directly to the castle.
Then, he headed straight to the rear mountain of the castle.
At this time, a giant stone lion as large as a hill stood towering there.
Stone Lion Puppet.
This was the heritage of the Duke of the Eastern Border.
No one knew what materials were used to craft this Stone Lion Puppet.
David could feel that even with his Tier Six Spiritual Power and high-level Earth Element Talent, he still hadn’t reached the upper limits of the Stone Lion Puppet.
He even suspected that if the Stone Lion Puppet were fully activated, it might genuinely contend with a Tier Seven existence!
"It seems, the Mountain Rock Lion Clan once produced an Alchemy Mage." David speculated.
Unfortunately, the precious books in the castle’s study had all been taken by the Kingdom Army.
He turned the entire castle upside down and found no legacy of an Alchemy Mage.
Next, he planned to take Lune to the Stone Ridge Mountain Range to see if among the wealth left by the Duke of the Eastern Border, there were any clues left.
After entering the Stone Lion Puppet, he activated the Bloodline Power of the Mountain Rock Lion.
The Rock Body allowed him to reconnect with the Stone Lion Puppet.
Instantly, powerful energy surged into his body, and David incessantly sensed the arrays and alchemy runes inscribed within the Stone Lion Puppet.
He had some research into arrays, so even a round of sensing brought significant gains.
Suddenly, the runes on the Stone Lion’s surface flickered, and then it shrunk rapidly, finally transforming into the size of a palm, like a Stone Seal.
In the later stage, if he handed the Stone Lion Puppet to Lune and let Lune elevate the Mountain Rock Lion Bloodline to Tier Four, it would once again become a top-tier combat force.
He packed away the Stone Lion Stone Seal, adding it to the Silver Dragon Sword and the Silver Dragon Knights and Kingdom Army soldiers he had gained, made this a complete profit.
When David returned to the castle, Lune was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Lord Duke return, she rushed over a few steps and plunged into Lord Duke’s arms. Just resting her head on Lord Duke’s chest brought a sense of reassurance.
"Lord Duke, thank you," Lune said sincerely.
David smiled, hinting that mere words wouldn’t suffice for thanks.
Blushing under the Duke’s gaze, Lune mustered the courage to take the Duke’s arm and walk into the room.
It wasn’t just about thanking Lord Duke.
Now that Lord Duke had helped her reclaim the Eastern Territory, the next step was to give birth to an heir with Lord Duke and rebuild the Mountain Rock Lion Clan.
"Lord Duke, please enjoy yourself tonight."
After closing the door, Lune’s expression turned very serious.
Today, she wanted to do everything within her means to satisfy Lord Duke, to express her gratitude.
David was taken aback, and his breathing became rapid for a moment.
In the next instant, he hesitated no longer, stepping forward to lift Lune and carry her toward the bed.
