In the game of World of Warcraft, the Lich King Arthas possesses a divine artifact known as Frostmourne. The Marquis of Bull now wields a simr greatsword that bursts with blue mes, easily reminding Liszt of another divine artifact, "Pleasure of me".
Of course.
The sword doesn’t bear this name, but its majesty is in no way inferior.
Fighting alone against dozens of Sky Knights, the Marquis of Bull’s support consists only of seven or eight Sky Knights from Juniper Castle. Yet even so, the Marquis of Bull holds the upper hand, his blue-me-bursting greatsword grievously wounding a Sky Knight from time to time.
"How could ants understand the might of a Lich!"
With a fierce grin, the Marquis of Bull shed out with his sword. One of the Sky Knights, unable to dodge in time, had his arm severed on the spot, rendering himpletely useless as he screamed and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was quickly rescued by the knights on the ground, who rushed over just in time to save his life, although his ordeal was just the beginning.
A minuteter, another Sky Knight was seriously injured; his waist almost bisected by the greatsword that burst with blue mes.
If it were not for the Advanced Dou Qi that forcibly stopped the bleeding, he likely would have died already.
"Sir Captain, what should we do?" Captain Layden was visibly agitated. The situation on the battlefield was beyond what they, the Elite Earth Knights, couldprehend.
Liszt signaled him to keep calm and directly ran towards Levis’s direction: "Sir Levis!"
"Baron Liszt." Levis, leading the red and yellow Knight Orders, likewise stood his ground, but his expression matched Captain Layden’s, lost and anxious.
"Are you nning to run away?"
"What?" Levis shrieked before lowering his voice, "Have you gone mad? Father is fighting out there!"
He still had family ties and reason, not terrified by the battlefield.
Liszt took a moment to soothe his own tension before saying, "We can’t help in the battle with the Sky Knights, but Juniper Castle is right in front of us. Since father has already decided to fight, we must not remain idle!"
Levis immediately gestured dismissively: "If you have a n, just spit it out. We don’t have time for your hesitations!"
"Very well, you must immediately round up the Knight Orders. We shall avoid the main battlefield and continue our assault on Juniper Castle!" Liszt spoke calmly.
His tense emotions did not cloud his judgment. On the contrary, his thoughts were more active.
He looked at Levis, who seemed to cling to a lifeline, and dered loudly, "We need to advance or retreat together with father, which means we must have an unshakable belief in victory. Thus, the glory of taking Juniper Castle must not be lost! You go and contact the Golden Wheat Sheaf Family, and I’ll get in touch with the Long Taro Family!"
"Can we take down..."
Liszt cut him off directly: "Nonsense, can’t you see the gap in the castle wall? Everyone charge together, and any castle can be ttened! Hurry and gather everyone!"
"Alright!" Levis clenched his teeth fiercely and followed Liszt’s arrangement.
The two brothers, one to the left and one to the right, started rounding up the leaderless Knight Orders—the Sky Knights were all off fighting Lich Andy, and no one was paying attention to the insignificant Juniper Castle anymore.
However.
Liszt saw clearly that Juniper Castle was the key.
For two reasons, the first being the Lich had a Life Box—ording to Curtis Truth’s situation at the time, the Life Box wasn’t fatal, merely the coordinates for her return from the Exiled Lands, but it wasn’t necessarily the same for Andy Sapphire; perhaps his Life Box was his Achilles’ heel.
The second reason was that taking Juniper Castle could at least disturb the Marquis of Bull’s state of mind, as it was his stronghold. Inside, there might be plenty of wealth, as well as numerous magicians from the Goat Assembly, all representing military achievements.
The coordination was very smooth, and Meioubao immediately nodded, "I understand. I’ll go coordinate with the other families. With our strength, we can directly capture Juniper Castle!" Experience tales at NovelBin.C?m
About five minutester, the battle in the sky reached a fever pitch with as many as ten Sky Knights seriously wounded. Marquis of Bull was also hit several times, his armor damaged and emanating more blue mes.
At the same time.
Under the leadership of the knights from the Long Taro and the Golden Wheat Sheaf Families, the Knight Orderunched a renewed charge toward Juniper Castle. The Elite Earth Knights climbed up the breaches, fiercely shing with the Wrath Knight Order. With theirndlords battling in the skies, the Earth Knights on the ground naturally dared not cken.
Especially the heirs to the families, wishing to alleviate the pressure on their fathers, were eager to capture Juniper Castle immediately.
Liszt was mixed in with the charging troops, not being too high-profile, nor coveting this bit of military merit—since the coordinated attack originated from him, he would definitely notck his share of the honors; moreover, the First Prince had already acknowledged his other contribution in the siege earlier.
He had enough of the limelight.
As long as they won the war, the title of Viscount was assuredly within reach.
If he was too prominent now, should the Marquis of Bull casually strike down at him, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
A massive battle was raging in the skies and at the castle.
Surrounding Juniper Castle, epic moments of the battle intensified, and after fifteen minutes, finally, the Knight Order broke through the blockade of the Wrath Knight Order and stormed into Juniper Castle.
The massacre of the people within the castlemenced.
"Vermin! How dare you!" Marquis of Bull, noticing the turn of the battle at Juniper Castle, turned and roared furiously, about to charge over to intervene.
But he was entangled by the First Prince and other Sky Knights. As they got ustomed to Marquis of Bull’s strength, the Sky Knights stopped suffering casualties and managed to stabilize their positions, holding Marquis of Bull back. The First Prince even soared into the sky, bellowing, "Knights, tten Juniper Castle, I am with you!"
"tten Juniper Castle!"
"tten Juniper Castle!"
Chanting the slogan, the Knight Orderunched an even more frenzied assault.
Liszt also shouted a few times, leading Jonas and other Elite Earth Knights into the castle. He didn’t go in any specific direction but searched for Marquis of Bull’s study. In his view, the importance of knowledge far exceeded any other wealth in the castle. With the Eye of Magic activated, he could calmly avoid powerful opponents.
The Elite Earth Knights blocking the way were simply bypassed, engaging only the weaker Common Earth Knights. Soon, he burst into the third floor of the castle and found the location of the study.
"Jonas, guard the door. I need to find something!"
"Make it quick!"
There were bookshelves in the study with neatly arranged books, but Liszt did not bother to search through them, as they were mostly for show, just like the ones in his bookshelves at Fresh Flower Town. He searched on top of the desk, where the most important manuscripts and the ones Marquis of Bull perused often would surely be.
Indeed, there was a stack of books on the desk.
Atop the stack, Liszt caught a glimpse of a title—"A Night with Miss Havana in the Piano Room." Without a second thought, he stuffed the whole stack into the Gemstone Space along with a few other books from different corners of the room, again without even looking at them.
A silver-white knight’s armor was hanging on the wall; he did not hesitate to take it down and put it into the Gemstone Space as well—if armor was stored in this study, it was certainly not ordinary armor.
Then, without looking back, he left the study, "Jonas, I didn’t find anything good, let’s go search Marquis of Bull’s bedroom!" He remembered that the Advanced Dou Qi Manuscript, "Thousand Thunderstrike Sky sh," was found by a knight on the bedside table of Count Sned.
