Chapter 1072: Killed
Although Emperor Harvey had lost his control over his body, he could still think clearly. He saw this castle filled with the uppermost luxuries of the Lance Continent s.n.a.t.c.hed in an instant.
But still, the loss of wealth was nothing compared to his plan 300 years in the making being destroyed.
Almost every official holy knight in the continent was dead. Only around 10,000 apprentice holy knights were left.
All he could do was hope that the apprentice holy knights could survive until the Wizard Union comes to clean up in a few years.
“Harvey, the Lance Continent really is poor!” Abel said, dissatisfied.
Abel finished putting everything away. If his holy portal bag wasn’t so big, he definitely wouldn’t take most of the stuff with him.
Most things couldn’t do much in the Central Continent, but it could sustain his Kingdom for many years.
Emperor Harvey cried in his heart. A mighty warrior like him was as helpless as a child in front of Abel.
“I still need to take care of those apprentice knights before I leave the Lance Continent. There were many professionals around, so I’m worried about those knights!” Abel said as though he was negotiating with Emperor Harvey.
But of course, he didn’t need to seek his confirmation. He already sent out a holy oracle to those knights through the Crystal angel statue.
Emperor Harvey did know what Abel was doing, but he had a bad feeling.
Lion was a rank 5 apprentice holy knight, as well as the captain of a little team. Ever since he placed his faith in a G.o.d surrounded by white light, his knight skill had taken a huge leap forward.
From then on, he knew he was on the path to becoming a holy knight.
As his team grew into a team of 100, they could even take down an official wizard when in their formation.
It was nothing totally extraordinary, but they still managed to obtain one of the best domains in a town.
At that moment, he was drinking a gla.s.s of wine with lavish food and beautiful ladies dancing in front of him. In a kingdom ruled by knights, they didn’t need to detach themselves from the common world like the wizards.
Their only task was to avoid wizardry being spread and kill any remaining ones who managed to escape.
Knight Lion loved his life, power, wealth, and everything he had. He was almost living even better than a city owner.
He was extremely loyal to his faith, which granted him everything he had.
Suddenly, he stopped his gla.s.s and stood up viciously.
The dancing ladies were shocked by his sudden movements and looked at him, scared.
“Discharge!” Knight Lion waved his hand and said.
The ladies bowed and walked off. He then suddenly dropped to his knees with a face full of excitement.
“An oracle! I got an oracle!” He mumbled.
At the same time, his 100 teammates also got the oracle. In fact, every single apprentice knight in the Lance Continent did.
After a while, Knight Lion regained himself, and he madly charged out the hall. “Gather!” He yelled.
He could no longer control himself, but his eyes were stunned.
Knights kept charging out of the royal palace as the teleportation circles kept flas.h.i.+ng.
Abel stood on the royal palace platform and looked down as the knights appeared. However, they all bowed when they saw Emperor Harvey.
Abel couldn’t help but admire the power of faith. He could basically control his followers to do anything without a single resistance.
Knight Lion led his 100 knights to the royal palace through the teleportation circle.
He sensed a desire to serve G.o.d as soon as he stepped out. It was the only thing in his mind.
He led his 100 men and neatly lined up in the courtyard.
The place was huge, almost the size of a little mine, enough to fit in 10,000 bowing knights.
“All here!” Abel said gently as he looked down at the knights.
He almost hesitated. Did he want to kill so many lives at once?
However, all it took was for him to remind himself those knights in front of him were the followers of the demon. Therefore, even if he didn’t kill them, the wizard union would do so.
Those knights would just make more chaos in the next 2 years. So he might be better off just killing them and getting their souls.
Most importantly, most people in the Lance Continent might end up as the demon’s followers from beyond in 2 years if he didn’t come to help.
These knights caused everything, so he could not show mercy.
“Harvey, you can return to my arms with these knights!” Abel said it just loud enough to reach Emperor Harvey’s ears.
A hopeless look emerged from his eyes. Then, with a snap of his finger, the area became silent.
10,000 apprentice knights dropped dead with a smile on their face.
Emperor Harvey was just as helpless, as he dropped dead as well.
Under Abel’s gaze, countless souls, along with Emperor Harvey’s rushed towards him.
“This power is intoxicating!” Abel sighed.
But soon, Abel was struck by reality. This was not his true power. He was only a thief. He did not even have the power of G.o.d in this world.
It was the biggest difference between him and an actual G.o.d. He could only control his followers in close proximity.
If he didn’t use an oracle, it would take him an unimaginable amount of time to kill those knights one by one.
He looked at the piles of dead bodies on the ground and shook his head. He killed too much. Since he didn’t even use a spell, he didn’t get much feeling from it.
Frankenstein flashed down and began his clean-up while Abel s.h.i.+fted his focus to the crystal angel statue. He still had large amounts of normal followers, but he had no intention of killing them.
Normal people couldn’t use a teleportation circle anyway.
With almost all the holy knights dead, the holy light kingdom would soon fall into chaos.
Especially without the Holy armor, other forces would be able to take over.
Those normal followers could not connect with the Holy Kingdom through the ocean. Even if they could manage to pa.s.s down their faith, it would fade away in a generation or two, considering the lifespan of a normal human.
“Finally resolved!” Abel looked at Frankenstein and mumbled.
His crystal angel statue gained the souls of 100 rank 19 holy knights, almost 5000 official holy knights, as well as 10,000 apprentice holy knights. The amount of faith Abel would get was scary.
“Let’s go back!” Abel turned to Frankenstein and flashed back to the invisible battle fort in the sky.
“Fire Tooth, go back to the potion maker camp at full speed!” He commanded as soon as he returned to the operation room.
It has been a few days without going into the Dark World. He couldn’t wait to get back to his old schedule.
“Archeduke Bridget, good news!” Elite druid Neville said in excitement.
There was a piece of parchment on her shoulder and a delivery bird with an empty bamboo pipe on its leg.
It was a report from outside the forest.
“Druid Neville, what’s the good news?” Grand Duke Bridget asked with a slightly gaunt look.
She hadn’t been sleeping well recently. There were tens of thousands of elves living safely in the forest, but their food security, as well as other distributions, have been stressing her out.
“Grand Duke Bridget, according to the latest report, the holy light kingdom has fallen into chaos. All the evil knights vanished with only a few normal knights left over!” Druid Neville was so excited her eyes almost began to tear up.
All the elves by the side were stunned, but soon a big cheer broke out.
Elves were known for their manners, but they all couldn’t help themselves but jump up and down in excitement; some even began to dance.
“Druid Neville, are sure this is not a trap laid out by the holy light kingdom?” Grand Duke Bridget was also excited, but she soon returned calm and lowered her voice.
She knew how powerful those knights were; taking them down in such a short period of time was impossible.
They even destroyed the mighty wizard union.
The only way was for the wizard union to send in some law-defying wizards, but no way could they arrive this fast considering their distance.
But even if they did, there was no way they could take down so many knights this fast.
The elves settled and exchanged a serious gaze. Then, they sent out a few more delivery birds. While this could expose the elves’ location, it was worth the risk.
After a few days, the news returned.
The Holy light Kingdom had fallen, and the wizard unions’ remains began to rise to power again.
The Holy light Kingdom was defenseless without Holy knights, and all their related families were killed.
Finally, those furious wizards were able to take their revenge.
Also, without authority, the suppressed city began to separate, and the monarchy began to thrive again.
Grand Duke Bridget was stunned by the news from different locations.
“Everyone, the time of suffering for the elves has come to an end. The Holy light Kingdom has angered an unknown power. We can now take back our home!” She announced with an eye full of joy.
With an enchantment from the force of nature, her voice spread throughout the forest.
“Thank you, the mighty G.o.ddess of moon!” The elves cheered so loud even the birds in the forest began to fly out.
There were no tasty fruits in this forest, but they could finally return to their land, their town, and their home. Tens of thousands of elves gathered themselves in no time and began to head out.
Not only the elves but the dwarves underground also re-emerged with their fury.
From then on, knights became the enemy of all races, and the wizards began to ma.s.sacre every last one of them.
But this had nothing to with Abel. He was already tens of thousands of meters above ground, speeding back to the Central Continent.
