In the incomparably silent and pure dark space, Kant’s eyes suddenly burst out with dense pitch-black data chains. In an instant, the figure that was madly pouncing over was bound in mid-air.
“Ah, darn it! What is this?” The figure only had time to scream before it collapsed and turned back into a drop of golden blood. From this drop of blood, Kant could feel the feeling of being deeply connected by blood.
The system’s data chains wrapped the drop of golden blood tightly. There seemed to be a monster trapped in this drop of blood, constantly changing its form. From time to time, roars were coming from the golden blood.
“How dare you offend me? Do you know which god am I? I order you… ouch!”
“You are the only blood descendant of mine that still lives in this world. Stop right now. As a god, I can consider leaving your soul and consciousness behind to become my holy spirit! Ouch!”
“Lowly, scoundrel blood descendant. When you can no longer hold on to this darn thing, I will definitely let you taste all the torture in this world. I will let you experience the pain that I am currently experiencing. I will let you live forever and never stop enduring the cruel torture! Roar…”
…
Within the golden blood, the angry roars and screams of the voice kept coming, while Kant just watched quietly. The voice went from being high and mighty in the beginning to surrendering to Kant in a disguised form, to threatening him, followed by soft pleading, then cursing with despair, and finally, the golden blood completely quieted down.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})The system’s data chains began to quietly retract itself from Kant’s pupils, leaving only a drop of golden blood floating quietly in the air.
“System, why didn’t you absorb this drop of golden blood?” Kant was a little puzzled. He had originally intended for the system to absorb the human figure formed from the drop of blood, and naturally, that included this drop of golden blood.
“Hold on!” These simple words appeared on Kant’s retina. This was the system’s answer.
Kant had never thought that the system, which had always been striving for things with extraordinary powers, would actually have a “hold on” status.
Who was that guy who had been hiding in the golden blood and claimed to be a god? Unfortunately, this guy had never told Kant what god he was. Kant could only confirm that it was a god related to darkness.
At this moment, Kant suddenly realized that there was a burning desire in his heart as if he wanted to devour this drop of golden blood. Kant thought that since the system had already absorbed the guy hiding in the golden blood, it should be able to obtain a lot of information.
“System, can I absorb this drop of blood? Would there be any danger?”
“Please do as you wish!”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The words on his retina made Kant relax. Since he had come from the depths of his heart — there was only his soul and consciousness at the moment. It should be said that he had come from the depths of his soul to devour this drop of golden blood. Moreover, he had checked with the system to confirm that there was no danger, then, he naturally would not hesitate.
Slurp!
Kant did not encounter any obstacles and absorbed this drop of golden blood. The taste was sweet and fragrant as if it was a top-notch delicacy.
The moment the drop of golden blood was absorbed by Kant, the boundless dark space instantly disappeared. Kant returned to the Lion Fort, and the Crown of Darkness in his hand turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. The drop of golden blood was the foundation of the Crown of Darkness. After Kant swallowed the drop of golden blood, the Crown of Darkness naturally ceased to exist.
At this moment, Kant’s expression was somewhat blank. In his imagination, that golden blood should be a very high-level item. However, other than Kant feeling that his supernatural power had changed a little, there were no other changes.
“Perhaps what is extraordinary is that fellow in the golden blood and not this drop of golden blood!” Kant thought.
At this moment, Kant’s supernatural power had added another type of power, the Power of Darkness. This was what Kant had felt. As for the details of this Power of Darkness, other than the fact that it could also increase the strength of one’s body and increase one’s attack and defense, Kant did not know anything about the other functions, but the system definitely knew.
“System, help me to analyze the newly acquired Power of Darkness!”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})“The system is busy, please consult later.”
Kant blinked his eyes. He thought that he had seen wrongly, but after blinking, the row of words given by the system still remained.
The system would definitely not have such a status that he had never seen before for no reason. The only thing that Kant could think of was the guy hiding in the golden blood that the system had just absorbed.
That guy was able to “stuff” the system and made it enter a “busy” status. That guy was calling out “as a god, I could…”, what kind of god was he? He was actually so terrifying.
“System, check my stats.”
“System is busy, please consult later.”
Kant didn’t believe it and tried again, but the system was still in a busy status.
“Sigh, the system seems to be unreliable! For the army that suddenly appeared in the Nahrin Desert, I originally planned to try my luck to get help from the system, but it seems that this time, I can only rely on myself. I hope the system can get out of the busy loading as soon as possible.” Kant was a little puzzled, at this critical moment, the system, which had always been as steady as an old dog, actually dropped the chain.
“I wonder how long will this last. I need to prepare for the worst! Without the help of the system, I can’t level up the soldiers who can level up on the battlefield in time. Fortunately, I’m very strong now, and the East County has trained up tens of thousands of strong soldiers. With these soldiers, I should be able to deal with the armies of the Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen with ease.”
Although the system had dropped the ball at the crucial moment, Kant did not panic. After all, he was no longer a small lord who only had a small oasis, instead, he was a great lord who had brought more than half of the Dukedom of Leo into the territory of the new Caradia Empire. His strength was extremely tyrannical.
The descendants of the Sun God who had been transformed into undead by his pope were attacking Drondheim. It wasn’t simply just attacking Drondheim, they were at war with the new Caradia Empire.
In fact, through the line in the dark dimension of the Crown of Darkness, Kant felt that he had already revealed his “background”. However, it was a critical moment now, and he did not have the time to analyze it in detail.
After Kant settled the problem of the Crown of Darkness, he entered a new war status without any rest.
The number of Jackalan and Lizardmen from the Kingdom of Grey Mane and the Kingdom of Lizardmen at the northernmost coast of the Nahrin Desert was too many, almost a million in total. Even though Kant was confident in his own strength, he didn’t dare to be careless.
Under such circumstances, it would be foolish to fight on two fronts.
Moreover, it could be said that they had already conquered the Dukedom of Leo.
This was because half an hour ago, his subordinate had reported to the four top noble families of the Dukedom of Leo. After the three world baron armies returned to their respective castles, their manors and castles had already been emptied, this included the Reese family, which had already lost their world noble families.
This problem was very clear to Kant. The four top noble families of the Dukedom of Leo had all retreated to their family’s world baron’s demiplane fiefdom. For the time being, they were not too much of a threat, and Kant had no time to bother with them.
In Kant’s opinion, as long as their demiplane fiefdom was still in their castle, Kant could deal with them in the future.
In this way, only the upper-class noble of the Dukedom of Leo and the nobles of the East County who were in deep trouble was left on the road to support the Lion Fort.
As for them, Kant could prove that he had destroyed Cameron, the Grand Duke of Leo. As long as he charged them a fee for their escape, they would definitely “happily” accept Kant’s expulsion. Kant was confident.
Two hours later, the upper-class nobles of the Dukedom of Leo and the nobles of the East County happily accepted Kant’s conditions. On the surface, they were happy and grateful, but after they gave a large number of golden eagles to Baron Kant, they happily set off for other countries.
At this point, the entire Dukedom of Leo belonged to Baron Kant.
Kant assigned some troops to stay in the major cities and towns, as well as the newly occupied half of the South County and the entire East County. Then, he issued the highest military order: all the troops that were still in idle status, shall set off and meet at the Stone Pass. Kant would personally lead these troops to assist Drondheim.
The next morning, Kant and his troops, who were traveling by night, had already arrived at the Stone Pass. This was all thanks to the flourishing development of the new Caradia Empire. All the main roads had been formed into smooth paved roads, and they were standing on horses.
At the same time, the Caradia Empire had a sufficient number of horses, and all the soldiers could ride on horses. This was thanks to Kant’s plan to dispose of the spoils of war. He could sell anything that he had, but he had never sold a warhorse, instead, he left these warhorses in the newly-born Caradia Empire to facilitate the transportation of the entire empire.
Of course, there was also the assistance of the mages’ continuous group acceleration spell, which enable them to hasten.
Kant was at the north gate of the Stone Pass, overlooking the Nahrin Desert in the distance. A bright red sun rose, sprinkling down endless radiance filled with vigor and vitality, making the people bathing in it feel cheerful and energetic. Kant looked at the rising red sun, and could not help but think of the Caradia Empire that he had founded in this world. Wasn’t the Caradia Empire like the Rising Red Sun, full of vigor and vitality, and would certainly spread its territory and spread its glory to every inch of the land of this world?
However, the Caradia Empire was now facing a crisis of war that concerned its survival. Only after this crisis was over could it climb higher and create a dazzling brilliance.
Kant continued to look at the Nahrin Desert. It had to be said that although the Nahrin Desert had a dangerous environment and was known as a forbidden zone for life, the Nahrin Desert in the morning was very beautiful. Under the orange-red sunlight, a vast expanse of yellow sand was seen, the sky was as vast as the land. It was like a magnificent painting scroll, full of vigor and painting the vast expanse.
However, Kant’s mind was not in such a beautiful scenery. His gaze was ethereal and profound, as if he had transcended the barriers of time and space and descended on the majestic army that was slowly advancing in the yellow sand north of Drondheim.
Kant’s lips curled up slightly as if he had received some happy news.
“There shouldn’t be any god-level or world-class noble-level undead among the Sun God’s descendants who have become undead. If that’s the case, I can be said to be completely superior to them in terms of high-level power! I’m a world baron, and I have grasped the third level of the power of the rules of war. I have half a foot in the fourth level, and my explosive power is absolutely terrifying. With my goshawks supporting me in the air, I can completely assassinate the enemy’s generals endlessly, so that the enemy will collapse without a fight. Just because I am the Baron of the world and have unparalleled combat strength, I alone can decide the outcome of this war.”
Kant thought about this form of war and naturally calculated his own strength. In the end, he discovered such a terrifying result, and he was instantly overjoyed. After all, with the help of the goshawks who had submitted to him and Kant’s powerful strength, if he wanted to carry out an assassination, no one would be able to withstand it, and no one would be able to encircle Kant with an army.
“I didn’t expect that just casually considering the situation of the war, I would actually discover such a terrifying effect!” Kant’s heart was beaming with joy. “If I’m here, then the situation of the war is already set. It would be difficult to lose the war here!”
Kant couldn’t help but point his middle finger at the Red Sun. “Just you wait, descendants of the Sun God! I’ll let you know the consequences of making an enemy out of me!”
Perhaps Kant’s actions were too pretentious. Even the heavens couldn’t stand it.
Just as Kant finished saying the last word, Kant suddenly realized that he seemed to have put on an invisible shackle at that moment. His power of the rules of war couldn’t be used anymore.
Kant was immediately terrified. His power of the rules of war was still there. How could he suddenly be unable to use it?
“Power of the rules of war, fuse!” Kant tried the most basic use of the power of the rules of war. He directly fused it into his body, causing his body’s quality to greatly improve.
He succeeded. His body rapidly strengthened. Kant’s face was full of joy. “As expected, the feeling just now should be an illusion. The power of the rules of war is so powerful. How could I not be able to use it?”
However, after a short while, Kant’s physical quality stopped improving. His physical quality had only increased by five times compared to usual. It was far from reaching the standard of fusing the power of the rules of war. Instead, it was the effect of the ordinary extraordinary power — the Power of War.
Kant’s expression changed. “Could it be that my Power of War is really unable to be used again? Then, isn’t my previous idea of victory even the most basic condition — that he has the strength of a World Baron?”
