Chapter 495 "Consultant" Fernando Jr.(1/2)
In the Palace of Silver and Tin, there may be many knights controlled by the Balrog.
But these Balrog derivatives without intelligence, without the Balrog's personal control, are actually not much different from the copy monsters without intelligence. After they were attracted and gathered together, the Paraflame Butterfly
The cannon was enough to bury them all.
As for the body of the Balrog, it had fallen into a short slumber under the control of another extraordinary person on the Dusk Path. Even after making such a big noise, it still did not wake up.
And after a long time... when the old man in black robe walked slowly over, the place was already empty.
It was not that he arrived late and accidentally let the intruder go.
——The old man did it on purpose.
Fernando Bloomberg Jr. is not from a noble family. Although he is considered a noble family, his father, Fernando Sr., is just a down-and-out viscount who even sold the family land. He has reached this point now.
, in addition to his talent in the Dusk Path, it is more because he is usually cautious enough.
If you collide with the enemy head-on, then a battle must occur. If you directly let the opponent go, it is your own responsibility; but if you directly fight the opponent...
Little Fernando is now a fifth-level transcendent!
As the dean of the Ziggurat's First School, the newly appointed Count Blomberg, an honorary colonel, and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Railways, he now only has the last step to succeed as the Dark Prime Minister!
You are such a big shot, why are you playing with your life?
You can cope with your responsibilities... Come and take a look, so that you won't be unable to answer what happened outside when Queen Louise asks questions.
He vigilantly controlled the ghosts, letting them disperse from a distance, and searched around - these ghosts were from when the knights were transformed into Balrog Knights, he urgently intercepted a group of spirits and made them into
Your own spiritual servant.
After confirming that the enemy had left, the old man approached cautiously, carefully sensing the remaining power of the road around him.
The old man couldn't help but feel frightened secretly.
——Because he not only sensed the remnants of the extremely intense path of devotion, but even vaguely sensed divinity!
"...Is it divine magic? No, it's not like..."
Little Fernando murmured.
So, is it a powerful phantom dedicated to the path?
The old man quickly recognized the other party's identity.
There must be a passing phantom demon on the path of devotion who sensed the birth of the Balrog, so he came to take a look... I hope so. Or rather, this is the only way.
Because if it were any other situation, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Little Fernando will appear here, mostly as the Balrog's limiter.
A lot of his power was used to seal the flame demon, and part of it was used to protect the queen and prince. He himself did not have much fighting power left. If there were too many enemies or it was too difficult to deal with, he might have to free the flame demon.
The devil then ran away.
In that case, the Balrog raging on the Glass Island may completely destroy the city... The teacher will definitely be unhappy.
His teacher is the dark side of this generation, and he is expected to become the dark side of the next generation. Now there is only one opponent who can compete with him.
This time he went to Avalon to brush up his qualifications under the arrangement of his teacher. Because his teacher had lived for almost three hundred years and planned to imitate the first generation of the Dark Side and transform himself into an undead body. Before that, he needed to
Compete with another eldest lady.
Although he is over seventy years old this year, according to the standard lifespan of a Twilight Path Extraordinary, he can only be considered a prime man at best. A fifth-level Twilight Path Extraordinary can live at least one hundred and fifty years old.
...If you use magic potions to extend your life, you can even easily live to two or three hundred years old. As for the decay and decay of the body, that in itself helps to perceive the path of dusk.
If you don't know the pain of aging, you won't be able to feel the weight of life and the mystery of death.
Little Fernando is not yet a hundred years old. If he can succeed to the position of Black Prime Minister, he can stay in this position for at least thirty or forty years.
...Otherwise, just leave it alone.
Looking at the land and palace that were completely destroyed by the mighty force, creating a long tunnel, the old man very wisely decided to turn a blind eye.
Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, it is a problem with the plan drawn up by His Majesty the King.
General Karl was killed and turned into a Balrog, which directly led to the death of the knights of the Round Table Hall and the fake princess. Although the "doll" can be made again at any time, they did not bring any extra this time.
The materials - it would be terrible if they were discovered. Now the golem masters in the rear army are already urgently making new dolls, but now it is too late.
——This directly led to the collapse of the original plan.
Because there was no "Princess Isabel" responsible for withstanding the pressure and voluntarily surrendering, the palace that was engulfed in flames and the Knights of the Round Table who were assimilated by the Balrog... instead made the people of Avalon turn from fear to anger.
Even though the Star Antimony army easily penetrated Avalon's weak army from the front, even though the War Colossus has already moved into the glass island, even though these rebels don't even have a real top commander... they are still doing their best.
Engage in bloody street fighting.
——After three days of bloody fighting, there was no sign of surrender.
Even the civilians were infected, and their original fear and resistance gradually turned into anger. These descendants of the rebels who fought against the giants in the past have now reawakened their bloody nature... That kind of overwhelming anger made little Fernando unable to do anything at all.
Want to touch.
Those small villages that no one cares about are just that. As long as they are killed cleanly, no one will know where they are. But it is different in the capital of Glass Island.
Even the most ruthless General Xing Antimony would not dare to attack civilians easily - the war reporters over at Iris were like flies that smelled of shit. Even before Xing Antimony's vanguard troops arrived, Iris's reporters had already
Arrived early.
Little Fernando didn't dare to think that if they took any photos, they could make up something outrageous when they went back. And if they took action against reporters, it would be even bigger.
After all, Avalon and Star Antimony have no grudges. In fact, the support for this war in the country is very small. It is all because the military guarantees a quick victory, and finally implements this somewhat risky plan. It has three purposes. In order to obtain
In order to obtain the support of the founding family, to obtain friendly trade relations between the ice-free port of Avalon and the Theocracy, and to divert the conflict between domestic alchemists and demonologists.
Now that there is such a fuss, there may be some problems with all three of them.
And if you attack civilians, even if you don't count the Theocracy's subsequent settlement... I'm afraid even the civilians of this country will strongly oppose it.
Because of this, relying on the anti-rat weapon of the Star Antimony Army, the supervisors, light cavalry and lawyers who launched street battles in residential areas were obviously low-ranking professions, but they caused huge trouble to the Star Antimony Army.
The most troublesome area is Lloyd's District.
There are also some extraordinary people of other paths mixed there, and they are very familiar with the extremely complex terrain of Lloyd District - they even have a large amount of alchemical explosives, can also lay traps, and have rich experience in street fighting and night fighting. Wait for the day to complete
After it gets dark, the dark alley makes people afraid to go deep.
The street fighting has been in a stalemate since the morning of this day.
It's already four o'clock in the morning...it's almost dawn.
After a group of low-level supernatural beings destroyed a Colossus, Star Antimony's army commander finally seemed to have made up his mind. He ordered the use of the Colossus to launch a suppressive operation in the Lloyd District.
This will 100% lead to accidental injury.
But the effect is outstanding.
The attack of the Colossus left those extraordinary people who relied on the alleys to fight guerrillas with nowhere to hide. One attack was enough to completely clear an alley. That was clearing in the physical sense, and even the buildings were directly flattened.
With the structural strength of the Avalon building, as long as it is not strengthened by the preservation spell, it will collapse directly the moment it is swept by the scorching flames. A frontal hit is enough to cause serious injury or even death to a fourth-level transcendent.
The damaging beam sweep will kill civilians and low-level extraordinary beings as long as it touches the edge.
——Anyway, we have already taken action. Killing once is still a kill, and killing them all is still a kill.
Little Fernando thought to himself that when the commander responsible for suppressing the Lloyd District came to the Red and White Queen District, he would be able to suppress the knights here. As for the griffins at the entrance of the Palace of Silver and Tin, they were originally
I don't plan to touch it... because once Avalon is controlled, these white-feathered griffons will be the spoils of war.
If Star Antimony had their gryphon army, how powerful they would be!
The gryphon blessed by alchemy products... must be much stronger than the original usage in Avalon!
But who knew that Karl could be assassinated for no apparent reason!
He had walked away for less than five minutes. When he looked back, his teammates had turned into Balrogs, and they didn't even send out a signal for help. If he hadn't been with the queen and prince at that time, and protected them in time... I'm afraid they
Both of them will be burned to death by the out-of-control Balrog and turned into puppets.
The result was that the gryphons that were supposed to be trophies turned into powerful enemies.
The main forces that launched the resistance were the high-level transcendent beings and students in the school. Together with the pure-blooded griffons on the Griffin Bridge, they had almost wiped out the wavelet garrison in the Red and White Queens District.
They even launched several waves of offensives towards the Palace of Silver and Tin, but they were all easily intercepted by the Fire Demon Knights.
Fortunately, although the Balrog was out of control and the griffin went crazy... but relying on the Knights of the Round Table who were infused with the Balrog and the group of spirits he urgently summoned, it was enough to defend the Palace of Silver and Tin before the large army arrived.
.
Although it seemed like he had done nothing - those things were not what he was meant to do.
Little Fernando just stood out.
——I'm afraid it's impossible to make meritorious deeds now... Anyway, let's pass the blame first.
The massacre of civilians was the fault of the army commander, and the poor execution of the plan was the fault of General Karl who left his post without permission. It is normal for the vanguard to be unable to defeat the white-feathered gryphons and extraordinary teachers and students. The root cause was traced back to the failure to prepare "backup personnel" in advance.
"Even", considering the possibility that the fake Isabel might be assassinated.
As a supervisor and protector, it is enough for him to control the Balrog from going crazy and protect the prince and queen.
As for the "unidentified demigod of devotion to the road", little Fernando didn't even want to touch him.
To be continued...
