Overgod Ascension

The plains after the war were in shambles.

The red lion flag fell under a pool of blood and frost. There were dead horses and soldiers everywhere, as well as a large number of discarded armors and weapons.

Within Eagle Fort.

Wu Ming changed out of his blue armor, which was stained with all kinds of filth, and put on a silk robe, and quietly listened to the report.

"This time we defeated the opponent's 20,000-strong army and captured 5,000 people, including the heir of the Wellington family, Viscount Arthur..."

Viscount Bale's voice was filled with excitement, and the eyes of his subordinates Sir Soros and others looked at Wu Ming with even more excitement and admiration.

On the battlefield today, the scene when Wu Ming summoned the blue dragon to descend was so shocking that it made them completely convinced of Wu Ming's identity!

"Although the war potential of the entire highland cannot be underestimated, we killed 5,000 people, captured 5,000 people, and 10,000 people escaped. Even if the Duke of Wellington wanted to make a comeback, I'm afraid it would be impossible..."

Wu Ming thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

The casting of this legendary spell today, summoning the blue dragon phantom to come, directly consumed more than half of the power of all peoples in his body, and now he is somewhat mentally exhausted.

But there is no doubt that its effect was extremely good, helping him win the war at once, and more importantly, it affected the balance of strength between the two sides.

"My vassals!"

Wu Ming spoke again, with a high-pitched voice: "Blue bloods who have been occupying the Fengying Plain from Taler to the present, is this the only courage you have?"

He said in a voice full of courage and incitement: "Before... the red lions from the grassland were like robbers, rushing into our homes, snatching away our belongings, and killing our people. But now, Eagle Castle It has returned to our hands, and their army was defeated. Do you have the courage to follow me to the highlands? To conquer, to plunder, to gain glory and endless wealth!"

"Great King of Conquerors! Wherever your will points, that is where our sword points!"

Viscount Bale and others immediately knelt down and cheered: "Conquer! Conquer!"

Wu Ming looked at this scene and finally nodded with satisfaction.

He took the risk to fight Arthur not just to stop the enemy, but the most important thing was to consume the opponent's vitality and prepare for the subsequent war.

The effect achieved now is even better than he expected.

Naturally, a mere Fengying Plain cannot meet his requirements. What he needs is at least a hegemony like conquering King Taler!

Unfortunately, Gao Gao hit the muzzle of a gun.

Even if it had not made any aggressive move before, Wu Ming might have found an excuse to attack it, let alone now.

…

After entertaining the vassals, it was not until late at night that Wu Ming had time to check out the spoils of war.

Other armor, war horses, bows, arrows, spears, and prisoners, etc., naturally have special scribes to go and count them.

He has a group of former workers and accountants who know writing and arithmetic to check for him. It is the nobles who need to worry about being cheated.

But what really concerned Wu Ming was what was seized from Arthur.

"Is this... the Holy Sword of Lionheart King back then?"

In the dormitory, Emmaris stared at the rosewood table in the center, which looked like a crude short-cracked stone sword, with an astonishing brilliance in her eyes.

"It is rumored that this holy sword was originally embedded in a certain holy stone in the highlands. Only the recognized and true king can pull it out. I don't know how many knights fell in front of it. Until the Lionheart King's Appear!"

She murmured, and her white jade-like fingers touched the sword body.

raging!

A bit of golden light flashed, causing Emmaris to scream in surprise. She retracted her palm like an electric shock, and her fingertips were already a little burnt black: "Until now, it still has such power and chose Arthur... "

She looked at Wu Ming, and her eyes suddenly became very strange: "My king, you are the successor of the Conqueror King, and you have been recognized by the Lionheart King. You will rule the entire Seer Continent!"

"This is inevitable!"

Wu Ming said it quite arrogantly, but in fact he knew his own affairs.

This extraordinary weapon, if according to the standards of its previous life, is at least a high-level legendary magic item or even an artifact in the Western world!

There is also a curse, or restriction, attached to it. Only those who meet the requirements can be recognized by it, be touched and exert its power.

He just forcibly conquered it and broke through this restriction.

"It just so happens that the Dragon Heart Sword is damaged. This Sword in the Stone should be regarded as Arthur's compensation!"

Wu Ming picked up the stone sword hilt and waved it casually a few times.

"Hehe...The Wellington family is really losing money!"

Emmaris covered her lips and smiled.

Although the Dragon Heart Sword is not bad, compared to the Holy Sword in the Stone, there is a huge difference between heaven and earth. Not to mention, when the blue bloods are about to invade the highlands, if those highland knights see the Lionheart King's What will the sword look like when it recognizes the conqueror?

Just looking at the influence of Blue Diamond Crown in Fengying Plain, we know that the intimidation brought by Sword in the Stone to the highlands is definitely no less!

'I'm afraid Arthur has kept it secret all this time, just for the purpose of showing proof of his kingship in one fell swoop when establishing the principality, and shocking all parties... Of course, now he is just shooting himself in the foot...'

Wu Ming thought with some gloating.

After Mrs. Emmaris left, the expression on his face changed to a solemn look, and he looked at the broken sword in his hand.

Strictly speaking, he has only broken through the first seal on the Sword in the Stone and can hold it in his hand regardless of its resistance.

As for developing other amplification functions, turning it into an unparalleled sword and killing weapon on the battlefield, and summoning heroic spirits, it is still a bit far away.

But Wu Ming is very patient and has plenty of time to slowly grind it out.

After all, the power seals on this weapon are too rich, and they basically represent the power rules of the Seer world controlled by the Lionheart King.

Through research, every new discovery is equivalent to taking a step closer to understanding the entire universe.

At this time, the Sword in the Stone, in Wu Ming's eyes, was a key to unlocking the rules of the power of the universe.

…

As word spread about the Battle of Eagle Castle, almost the entire continent became a sensation.

The most exciting thing was the Fengying Plain. Under Wu Ming's call, many nobles and knights began to prepare their own weapons and join the crusade, preparing to begin the conquest and plunder of the highlands.

There were even a large number of wild people and escaped slaves who took the opportunity to join the army for training, because Wu Ming issued a decree that as long as they established meritorious service, they could obtain the status of free people and receive pardon, and no one could be held accountable for their previous crimes.

Facing the ever-expanding army of blue bloods, there was a scene of constant panic in the highlands.

The Wellington family is no longer as high-spirited as before, and no one dares to mention the establishment of a duchy.

A large number of conquered nobles started to think again and began to quietly discuss the topic of the conquering king and the sword in the stone that was said to have fallen into the hands of William Wallace I.

"Viscount Garcia, congratulations on making the right choice!"

While arranging his troops to prepare for war, Wu Ming was not idle, preparing to disintegrate the resistance in the highlands.

"There are other small families on the highlands. Although they have been conquered, the time is still short. Once they are provoked by a strong enough external force, it is not impossible to rebel again! Go to the highlands and tell them to surrender to me and submit to me. I kneel down and swear allegiance, and I will recognize their original fiefdom and title, as well as all rights and interests in the fiefdom!"

Wu Ming looked at Viscount Garcia kneeling at his feet, as well as Merlin and other servants, and said with a cold voice, "Even the Wellington family itself, as long as they are willing to join us and help us deal with the Grand Duke Wellington Yes, you can get the same treatment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Viscount Garcia's heart sank.

He knew clearly that even the Wellington family was not monolithic, and there were many ambitious people, just like him before.

And now, in order to obtain the original territory of the Wellington family and the title of the Grand Duke, it is not impossible to start a rebellion, especially after Arthur has lost 20,000 of his direct army, the strength of the main line has been greatly reduced, and the side branches have begun to rise. when.

‘Under the plan of the Conquering King, I’m afraid the whole highland will be in chaos before the blue bloods send out their troops, right? ’

Garcia shook his head inwardly, feeling that compared to the Earl of Blue Mountain, the blue blood in front of him seemed to be two completely different creatures.

To be honest, this may be the attitude that the former conqueror Taller should have!

But at this time, the allegiance ceremony has passed, and his oath is in Wu Ming's hands. If he rebels again, he will only be ruined, and even be hanged by the Duke of Wellington. After repeated failures, and there are tribesmen who show disloyalty, It is worthless, and the current Archduke Wellington understands this very well.

"As you command, my lord!"

Therefore, Garcia could only salute humbly and promised: "Your will will spread throughout the highlands. Under the flight of carrier pigeons, the news will spread throughout the highlands in less than half a month!"

"Very good, one more thing..."

Wu Ming looked behind Garcia, Master Merlin in a gray robe and hood.

"Is your vassal a mage? Are you interested in joining the Watcher organization and serving me?"

His voice was thick and filled with unparalleled confidence: "My reward will definitely satisfy you!"

"It is his honor to serve the lord!"

Although Merlin was still hesitant, Viscount Garcia immediately agreed.

It can be seen that he is very aware of current affairs and already knows that he has no bargaining capital at all.

"Very good. After these things are completed, your original viscounty in Fengying Plain will still be yours!"

Wu Ming made a guarantee: "Everyone who works for me will be rewarded!"

Upon hearing this, Viscount Garcia's eyes immediately flashed with heat...
