In the city hall of Antas, Hobert sat on the throne, one hand sealing the Uniqueness, the other marking the "Prince of Abolition" characteristic in Erebus's hand.

Just then, Tamara, having received the signal from Erebus, suddenly appeared behind Hobert. With a wave of her hand, she created a kind of balance between Hobert and the dog sitting beside him, causing Hobert's spirituality to surge wildly into the body of the "Dog Emperor."

This caused an imbalance in Hobert's spirituality, which was sealing the Uniqueness. The Uniqueness began to struggle violently, and under its distortion, the hand Hobert held it with transformed, turning into a bear's paw one moment, an octopus tentacle the next, and a goat's hoof another.

The surrounding ministers appeared as youths one moment, middle-aged men the next, sometimes a dozen, sometimes dozens.

The scene outside changed from night to noon in the blink of an eye, one second raining, the next snowing.

Erebus and Tamara were both affected to varying degrees, but Hobert, protected by the "Nation of Disorder," only had the hand holding the Uniqueness constantly affected.

However, even this influence was within a controllable range. Even when Hobert's hand turned into a goat's hoof, he still used his goat toe to clamp down on the crown.

"Bestow!" Hobert bestowed all the influence of the Uniqueness that he was receiving onto Tamara.

Tamara, who was about to continue her attack, quickly used her "Imprisonment" ability to seal the negative effects Hobert had bestowed upon her in mid-air.

She didn't have the "Nation of Disorder" and couldn't withstand the close-range effects of the Uniqueness's "struggle."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobert reached out and retrieved the "1-113" Solomon family emblem from the "Nation of Disorder." Using the power of the "Nation of Disorder," he merged it with Megali's spiritual residue within the emblem, creating an assistant comparable to the "Duke of Entropy!"

It was a female shadowy figure formed from pure power, somewhat illusory, with an unreadable face, seemingly wearing a gorgeous and intricate court dress.

Mystical symbols flowed over the court dress, making it look solemn and mysterious.

After becoming an angel, Hobert could complete this operation in the real world, and because he himself possessed a certain degree of divinity, he could give simple commands to the summoned "Duke of Entropy."

The angel-level helper formed by "1-113" was the confidence Hobert had to cooperate with Erebus.

For example, attacking a certain target, or ambushing someone at a certain location, and so on.

At this moment, Hobert's command to her was to hold back Tamara.

As for Hobert himself, while trying to control the Uniqueness, he looked towards Erebus, who was preparing to snatch the Uniqueness.

Erebus glanced at the crown in Hobert's hand, hesitated slightly, and then gestured to Tamara. The two angels immediately entered the spirit world.

Although Hobert had not completely sealed the Uniqueness, if Hobert initially controlled the Uniqueness, he could use the Uniqueness as a sealed artifact.

Using the Uniqueness in this way would definitely have great negative effects, but it would definitely allow Hobert to form an overwhelming advantage. If they didn't run now, they might not have a chance to run.

Sitting on the throne, Hobert watched Erebus leave, then had the "Duke of Entropy" helper protect him while he focused on sealing the Uniqueness in his hand.

The power of the "Nation of Disorder," solidified to resemble black crystal, gradually covered the gorgeous crown, like a layer of black frost forming on the crown.

A dozen seconds later, Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, finally completely sealing the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" pathway!

He quickly put the Uniqueness into the "Nation of Disorder." At the same time, everyone in the entire city of Antas seemed to fall into a brief daze.

Hobert used his spirituality to examine the entire city, and after seeing that the social order and natural order here had basically recovered, he prepared to leave.

At this moment, Trunsoest suddenly appeared in the hall. He glanced at the "Duke of Entropy" with the illusory black figure in front of Hobert and gave an ugly smile: "Congratulations!"

Summoning a "Tree of Order" from the "Nation of Disorder" to ensure he could escape at any time, Hobert smiled sincerely: "Thank you!"

The next second, he took the summoned helper into the spirit world and returned to Backlund, to the study in the Duke's mansion.

First, he ended the summoning of the "Duke of Entropy" and returned "1-113" to the "Nation of Disorder."

Then, Hobert sat in the chair to rest. After sitting quietly for more than ten minutes, and seeing that Trunsoest had not chased after him, Hobert breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason he immediately returned to Backlund was that he was certain that with William I stationed in Backlund, Trunsoest could not enter the capital of the Loen Kingdom.

Only then did Hobert carefully set up a "spiritual wall" and enter the "Nation of Disorder" to pick up the Uniqueness that had been sealed before the "Iron Throne."

With the Uniqueness of this pathway, Hobert had a huge advantage in the "Godhood Competition" of the "Black Emperor" pathway.

Even if Erebus obtained two Beyonder characteristics of the "Prince of Abolition," and two Angels of the same path were to appear in the future, Hobert would still be the one with the advantage.

Moreover, Hobert also marked another Beyonder characteristic of the "Prince of Abolition"!

Thinking of this, Hobert couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Without the thin-necked glass bottle containing the illusory fog, Erebus could forget about removing the mark in that characteristic.

If he didn't do anything about it, when he advanced to Sequence 1, Hobert would be able to sense it, and when he advanced, he could detonate that mark, causing Erebus to completely lose control!

Erebus still had one way, which was to pray for help from the Outer Gods.

From the fact that the Seven Gods tacitly agreed that the Uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" was obtained by Hobert, it was not difficult to see that even though the Seven Gods had many internal contradictions, they had a unified front when facing the Outer Gods.

Erebus was also very clear about this, so he could not ask the Seven Gods for help.

Praying for the help of the Outer Gods within the barrier of Earth, or simply praying for the help of his main body, the "Uncertain Mist," required a complicated ritual.

This was an opportunity for Hobert, because he could also use the mark on the Beyonder characteristic to detect Erebus's ritual, which would be the best time to seize this Sequence 1 characteristic.

If he could get two Beyonder characteristics of the "Prince of Abolition," then for Hobert, no Beyonder being of the same Sequence would be able to hinder his becoming a god.

Not even Trunsoest, after all, he was a Sequence 1, and whether it was the Uniqueness of the "Justiciar" pathway or the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic, they were very difficult to obtain.

In terms of level, although Hobert was one Sequence lower than Trunsoest, in terms of becoming a god, Hobert was temporarily at an advantage.

Thinking of this, Hobert took a deep breath and considered how to get his hands on the "Brass Book" and completely cut off his path to becoming a god.

There was no opportunity yet, so he could only collect information in advance and immediately seize the "Brass Book" after the war ended.

But the war would not end for another half a year, so this matter was not very urgent.

Finally, Hobert looked at the gorgeous crown sealed by the "Order Crystal" in his hand. His spiritual perception told him that before accommodating the Uniqueness, even in the "Nation of Disorder," he could only briefly use its power, and when not in use, he had to keep it sealed.

Forget about the real world. Once the seal was lifted, the Uniqueness would continue to resist Hobert, and if he was not careful, it would escape again.

Putting the Uniqueness on the armrest of the "Iron Throne," Hobert was somewhat uneasy. He planned to enter the "Nation of Disorder" every two or three hours these days to check on it.

At this moment, Hobert suddenly had an idea. With a wave of his hand, he took the "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring," which could previously summon the "Holy Infant King," in his hand, preparing to use it to conduct an experiment.

There was no longer any spiritual residue or Beyonder power in the "umbilical cord." It had long become an ordinary umbilical cord.

Hobert released the seal of the Uniqueness and put the gorgeous crown on his head. At the moment of putting on the crown, his spirit body immediately expanded twice in size, and his temperament and demeanor became sacred and solemn.

But Hobert's eyes also seemed to have lost all spirituality, looking very empty.

This was the most difficult place for the Uniqueness to control for the current Hobert. Even when using it in the "Nation of Disorder," the divinity in Hobert's body would be far higher than his humanity.

If used for too long, Hobert might be assimilated by the Uniqueness.

This was not a good phenomenon. Unlike fusing with the Uniqueness, this was the Uniqueness actively assimilating Hobert. In the end, Hobert would become a tool of the Uniqueness, becoming a sealed artifact with strong spiritual imprint!

30 seconds!

Hobert had an epiphany regarding the Uniqueness; 30 seconds was the safe time to use it.

Although his divinity outweighed his humanity during those 30 seconds, Hobert still possessed enough rationality to Exploit certain abilities of the Uniqueness to achieve his goals.

He focused his attention on the "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring." Currently, the number of times he could summon the "Holy Infant King" was 0.

Hobert used the power of the Uniqueness to "tamper" with the 0 times, changing it to 1 time.

The "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring" immediately underwent a transformation. Hobert once again sensed the spiritual residue and spirituality it contained!

It really worked!

Hobert quickly removed the crown and resealed it.

Looking at the "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring" in his hand, from this day forward, the "Creator" would truly have two, no, three subordinates! Besides the "Umbilical Cord" and the black eye that could summon the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch," there was also "1-113"!

These three were completely loyal to the "Creator," angelic-level thugs whom the "Creator" could command as He pleased.

Hobert looked at the sealed crown in his hand. This was the Uniqueness!

Then, he sighed inwardly, "Erebus was right. With the strength of Sequence 2, there's no way to defeat the Uniqueness head-on. Fortunately, the Uniqueness has no brain!"

After playing with the magnificent crown for a while and putting the "Umbilical Cord of the Evil God's Offspring" back, Hobert returned to the real world. He pondered the matters of Erebus and Trunsoest for a moment, then traveled to Angel City overnight.

Tonight, Donna and Archibald were on duty. After all, they were in a state of war, and high-ranking officials from the government and military would have someone on duty at night.

Hobert learned the current situation from them. The aftermath of the full-scale war in the Northern Continent had finally affected this place. After confirming that Loen was unable to support the Southern Balam Governorate, the rebel army of the Highland Kingdom increased their marching speed significantly.

Moreover, outside Angel City, extraordinary battles were erupting every day. The Highland Kingdom had sent a large number of spies and raiding squads.

The extraordinary units of the Southern Balam Governorate took turns fighting, while also launching raids on the rebel camps.

Both sides had erupted into a full-scale war, and they were both preparing to launch a decisive battle.

The Highland Kingdom was gathering its forces, while the Southern Balam Governorate was waiting for Hobert.

Now that Hobert had arrived, the decisive battle was about to begin.

Immediately, Archibald introduced Hobert to the military's two decisive battle plans.

Angus and Helen, and other Beyonder forces, belonged to the "Beyonder Unit." This "Creator's" force was the core extraordinary power. They usually cooperated with the government to solve extraordinary cases within their jurisdiction, but in wartime, they were also a military force.

The only constant was that they only obeyed Hobert! Seel and Archibald had no authority to mobilize them.

However, when Seel and Archibald made combat deployments, they would definitely factor in this combat power. After the battle plan was approved by Hobert, Angus and the others would execute the deployments in the plan.

One of the military's two plans was to let the enemy reach Angel City and set up an ambush in the mountains to the east in advance. When the enemy attacked the city, the ambushing troops would attack the enemy from the rear.

As for the extraordinary battle, it was focused on the defense and contest of Angel City.

The second plan was to take the initiative to meet the enemy in the hilly terrain northeast of Angel City, on the enemy's inevitable route, and fight a decisive battle with them.

The reason for choosing to fight a decisive battle in the hilly area was because the enemy's numbers were more than ten times that of their own. It was difficult to conduct large-scale troop operations in the hilly area.

This would allow them to take advantage of the Southern Balam army's refined weapons and strong individual combat capabilities.

Moreover, the hilly area had a sparse population, making it very suitable for extraordinary warfare.

Regarding the extraordinary battle with the Highland Kingdom, the military was very confident. After all, they had once defeated the Demoness Sect. The Highland Kingdom, or rather, the "Rose School of Thought," was not stronger than the Demoness Sect at its peak.

It was just that the "Rose School of Thought's" power was more concentrated, and they were more familiar with the Southern Continent, making it a home game for them.

After discussing the battle plan, Donna brought up the issue of logistical support.

Hobert originally thought they were going to talk about the logistics of military supplies, but Donna immediately said, "We have accumulated enough administrative power. As long as the civil war is won, we can control the entire Southern Balam Governorate within ten days."

During this period, the governorate government had already begun to build fish ponds in the southern part of the Saint Sern Basin, designating economic forest areas and aquaculture areas.

And they had already built a Church of the Earth Mother there at the fastest speed. Bishops, priests, and servants of God were already in place.

In order to improve efficiency, they even asked the Beyonders to "distort" the terrain and compact many earthen roads.

Among all the Beyonder forces, only the subordinates of the "Creator" worked so diligently on such tasks, because such tasks could also earn merit.

In addition, after Miss Audrey's "persuasion," the first batch of residents had already arrived there, and it was estimated that about 10,000 natives could be resettled within the year.

They not only became subjects of the Southern Balam Governorate, but also resisted the small-scale raids by the remaining natives on the north, basically solving the security risks in the Saint Sern Basin.

The large-scale immigration plan from Backlund was also in the works. The immigration training institution in Backlund had prepared 5,000 immigrants, and they would be sent over immediately after the war ended using the teleportation array.

The governorate government planned to immigrate at least 500,000 people from the entire Loen Kingdom throughout next year.

However, according to Donna and the others' estimates, due to the impact of the war, the entire immigration plan should be overfulfilled. Many people had already gone bankrupt due to the soaring prices in Backlund.

As the war continued, it was estimated that more and more people would go bankrupt as a result. At that time, without much persuasion, they would even take the initiative to join the ranks of immigrants.

The premise of all this was that the government could form effective rule over the entire governorate. To this end, after the land reform on Longtail Island ended, the governorate government had been training and mobilizing grassroots officials.

And according to the national policy formulated by Hobert, a large number of grassroots officials had also been recruited in the Saint Sern Basin.

With these grassroots workers, the governorate government was confident that it could control the entire governorate within ten days and completely end the local aristocratic and warlord proxy political system.

After understanding the current situation, Hobert couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This civil war had indeed been delayed for too long.

The main reason was that He had been too busy recently, from digging graves for the King to snatch Sequence 1 characteristics, to helping Klein get rid of Amon, to advancing to Sequence 2 and seizing the Uniqueness.

These were all things that required Him to do it personally and devote all His energy to do.

Now it was good. He had finally found the time to end the civil war. Hobert estimated that the decisive battle in the Beyonder forces could be over within a day. If they could win, the rest would be the pursuit and arrest of the Earth King and the warlords.

Hobert had already figured out how to arrange for these proxies who colluded with the Highland Kingdom: to build His mausoleum!

As soon as the war was over, the matter of building a mausoleum would have to be put on the agenda immediately.

Currently, Hobert had squeezed Erebus's advancement peak to Sequence 1, but Trunsoest was still a very strong opponent!

The key was that the Sequence 1 characteristic of the "Justiciar" pathway and the Uniqueness were not controlled by Hobert at all, but Trunsoest had a very close connection with them.

Therefore, Hobert had to make some arrangements in advance for the advancement to True God.

After understanding the current situation, Hobert asked Donna to rest first. He wanted to chat with Archibald alone for a few words.

After only Hobert and Archibald were left in the command room, He said, "Under the instruction of the 'Creator,' I have completed the transaction for the eyes of the Hound of Fulgrim. You can prepare for the advancement ceremony while accumulating merit.

"As long as the ceremony is ready, you can advance in advance, but you have to make up for the corresponding merit afterward."

Archibald was somewhat excited: "I understand!"

Then, he sincerely thanked: "Thank you, Duke, thank you, 'Creator'!"

In his long life, he had long given up hope of becoming a complete Sequence 3, until he met Hobert, the blessed of the "Creator," and he smelled the opportunity for advancement.

Just as he had expected before, after joining the "Creator," his advancement was not a very difficult thing.

This made Archibald eager to try, wishing he could go and fight the demigods of the "Rose School of Thought" now!

The battlefield was always the fastest place to gain merit.

And the reason why Hobert only mentioned this matter now was because He had already advanced to Sequence 2 and obtained the Uniqueness, and could easily handle Archibald in terms of strength.

Although Archibald's performance had been very good all along, He still had to have the most basic vigilance.

As the two chatted idly, the night faded and sunlight streamed through the window.

After having breakfast with everyone, Hobert immediately convened a war council and selected the second battle plan.

That morning, the entire city of Angel seemed to have been set in motion. Various extraordinary units and the army completed their assembly one after another and set off together towards the northeast.

Those left to guard Angel were the security forces led by Freya, and the intelligence personnel led by Xio who had come to provide support later.

At full speed, the troops were expected to reach the predetermined battlefield by this evening. According to the scouts' reports, the main force of the enemy would not arrive until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, so the Southern Balam army would have a night and the entire morning to rest.

Hobert, dressed in military uniform and a black cloak like an ordinary officer, rode his white horse and advanced with the main force, roughly in the middle of the column.

The tall Lawrence, also on horseback, approached and said, "Duke, I would like to speak with you alone."

Knowing what he wanted to talk about, Hobert waved his hand and designated a space for a private conversation: "Speak."

"Yes," Lawrence said, "You should know that the members of the Balk family have been suffering from the torment of the curse…"

To make the conversation more efficient, Hobert took the initiative and said, "Has the family curse been lifted now?"

Lawrence was slightly stunned, but quickly concluded that the lifting of the family curse was closely related to the 'Creator', perhaps even directly helped by the 'Creator'.

"Yes," Lawrence said, "I have been thinking about it for a long time. It should be, or rather, only the 'Creator' is a deity who favors us and has provided us with some help."

Hobert did not answer "yes" or "no", but calmly asked, "Have you ever wondered why the great 'Creator' sent me to be the liaison for the Balk family?"

Lawrence was stunned again, and instantly had a guess, but this guess seemed too bold. After all, they had previously received definite news that Rex had died in the ritual to advance to an angel.

Hobert answered himself, "Because my biological father is Rex. A long time ago, the 'Creator' helped me resist the damage caused by the curse, and I offered Him my loyalty.

"With the help of the 'Creator', I finally found out the truth about the curse, which turned out to be a means for Trunsoest to be resurrected."

Hobert looked at the very surprised Lawrence and continued, "That's right, our family's tragedy for more than a thousand years was just because an emperor wanted to be resurrected.

"Also with the help of the 'Creator', I completed the Sequence 2 advancement ritual and used the advancement to lift the family's curse."

Lawrence asked somewhat panic, "Then, then Night Emperor…"

"He has also been resurrected," Hobert said coldly, "But you must be clear that you are now loyal to the 'Creator'.

"I can tell you with certainty that if you want to follow Trunsoest, the Balk family will be destroyed!"

Lawrence nodded repeatedly and quickly said, "The 'Creator' is our only faith."

Now the Balk family is deeply bound to the 'Creator's' forces. If they were to serve Trunsoest, all their efforts would be in vain.

The key is that probably not many people would be willing to follow Trunsoest.

Although He is the ancestor, although He is the Night Emperor, He has caused the family to endure more than a thousand years of pain, while the 'Creator' saved the Balk family.

The suffering brought by the curse for a long time has already made everyone feel no sense of belonging to "Trunsoest", and the "Creator" has given very generous treatment. Anyone with a normal mind would not go to join Trunsoest.

Hobert said coldly again, "If Trunsoest secretly recruits you, you can pray to the 'Creator', but remember that Trunsoest now has the level of an angel, don't try to deal with Him."

Lawrence did not ask where Trunsoest got the Beyonder characteristics, but immediately said, "If I find Trunsoest, I will immediately report to the 'Creator'!"

Then he asked, "Duke, how should we thank the 'Creator'?"

Hobert paused slightly before saying, "That depends on your ideas."

Lawrence smiled and said, "It is precisely because we don't know how to thank you that we want to ask you."

Hobert did not continue to be polite: "I suggest, sacrifice a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact."

Lawrence immediately said, "I have the same idea."

Originally, there was a reward mechanism circulating in the family: whoever can help lift the family's curse, the Balk family will offer a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

After hearing Lawrence's words, Hobert nodded and said, "Such a sacrifice is not a loss for the Balk family.

"According to the 'Creator's' usual habits, after you sacrifice the Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, if the Balk family's demigod needs this Sealed Artifact, they can pray to the 'Creator' to obtain temporary usage rights."

Lawrence was slightly stunned. In that case, the Balk family would indeed not suffer a loss. They would both thank the "Creator" and be able to apply to use the sacrificed Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

"Thank you, Duke," Lawrence thought that Hobert's suggestion was to consider the Balk family and strive for the greatest benefit for the family.

At the same time, he thought: The "Creator's" level is so high, the demand for Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts should not be great. Sealed Artifacts of this level are basically for high-level believers.

Hobert only felt that the Sealed Artifact was what He deserved.

According to the description in the notes inherited from Rex, whoever helps solve the family's curse can get a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact from the Balk family.

His explanation to Lawrence was simply thinking about the subsequent "Sealed Artifact Reuse" problem.

If it is not needed, it will be gathering dust in the "Nation of Disorder", and if the Balk family's demigod prays to use that Sealed Artifact, every time they pray, they owe the "Creator" a favor.

Hobert himself did not realize that at this time, he was much colder than before. He no longer had the feelings of human emotions, only a calm way of doing things, like applying a calculation formula.

Hobert also said, "In addition, after the war, the Balk family will hold a grand ceremony.

"All family members must attend the ceremony and thank the 'Creator'.

"In everyone's voices of gratitude, you will offer the sacrifice!"

He mainly wanted to use this ceremony to observe all the members of the Balk family with "True Sight" to see if Auernia had been resurrected among the family members.

Lawrence immediately said, "Thank you for your guidance. After the war is over, we will immediately build an altar and carry out the ceremony as soon as possible."

Hobert calmly talked about the next topic: "I hope you will accumulate more merits in the upcoming war. Now that the Balk family's curse has been lifted, you can safely advance to an angel.

"As far as I know, the 'Creator' also holds a copy of the Beyonder characteristic of 'Duke of Entropy'!"

That Beyonder characteristic came from the "Prince of Abolition" characteristic that Hobert had just crushed. Originally, after Solomon was resurrected, the three Sequence 1 characteristics in His body were very pure and did not contain characteristics of other sequences.

Later, when Roselle jumped to a non-adjacent pathway, he needed three Beyonder characteristics of the "Duke of Entropy" to support his becoming a god.

Because Roselle has not completed the resurrection process so far, the three "Prince of Abolition" Beyonder characteristics each contain one or several characteristics from Sequence 2 to Sequence 9.

Of course, after becoming a god, he should be able to discharge one or two "sets" of Beyonder characteristics on his own, but it has not been heard that Roselle has subordinates of the "Duke of Entropy", presumably Roselle in a semi-mad state did not make such operations.

Hobert's advancement also only needs three Beyonder characteristics of the "Duke of Entropy" as support, because He himself has a characteristic from Sequence 2 to Sequence 9, so He can completely crush one of the "Prince of Abolition" characteristics and only use the Beyonder characteristics of the "Prince of Abolition" to make potions.

Such a potion is not a burden for Hobert and can also take out a Beyonder characteristic of the "Duke of Entropy" to cultivate an angel.

Of course, Lawrence will only have the opportunity to advance after Hobert is Sequence 1.

Without the family's curse, Lawrence has hope for advancement again: "I will work hard to accumulate merits!"

Hobert nodded and stopped talking, indicating that the conversation was over.

The entire army marched for more than an hour. During a general rest, Seer suddenly hurried over to report to Hobert: "Duke! The enemy has learned that we have left the city to meet them in battle and are using extraordinary powers to speed up their march."

"Based on the enemy's current speed, their main force could pass through the Mattog Highlands by the afternoon."

This news was relayed to Seer by scouts through the "Nation of Disorder." Because the "Mystical Switchboard Operators" were handling the specific operations, Hobert was unaware of this information.

The Highlands are the predetermined battlefield for the decisive battle and the last barrier in the northeastern part of the Saint-Sern Basin.

The surrounding people stood up one after another, came to Hobert, and discussed how to increase the marching speed.

Lawrence said to several demigods of the "Lawyer" pathway: "We can be evenly distributed in different positions of the team and use the abilities of 'Tampering' speed or 'Distorting' space together. We will definitely reach the predetermined battlefield within half an hour."

Marva, a member of the Tony family who had recently been promoted to "War Bishop," said: "There is no need for such trouble at all. I have an ability that can average the speed of everyone in the unit."

"Currently, our team, including logistics personnel, is less than 2,000 people. Everyone uses Beyonder abilities, runs as fast as they can, and I will average everyone's speed."

"We can probably reach the predetermined battlefield in ten minutes."

At this point in the discussion, everyone looked at Grand Duke Hobert.

Hobert calmly said "Oh" and then stated: "Everyone, continue to rest. We will set off again in three minutes!"

Several demigods were stunned, meaning that their suggestions had not been adopted. Were they going to abandon the original battle plan?

After another three minutes of rest, as the whistle sounded, the soldiers resting on both sides of the road immediately prepared to set off.

Hobert also mounted his white horse again. He said to the front in high spirits: "I think you have all heard, to varying degrees, that many miraculous things have happened in this battle!"

"That's right! Our battle this time has the gaze of the gods! The gaze of the great 'Creator'!"

"Because our guns are aimed at the heretics of the Southern Continent! The war you are now waging is a holy war! A holy war to liberate the people who are cruelly enslaved and tortured by the heretics!"

"The enemy has gained the power to advance rapidly through bloody sacrifices, and the war may break out ahead of schedule!"

"But we also have the blessing of the gods! It will allow us to reach the battlefield faster. Everyone, get ready!"

Hobert did not shout hard, but His words reached everyone's ears!

These words seemed to be extremely Incitement, and the soldiers were deeply convinced of Hobert's pre-war mobilization, which made their blood boil: This battle has the gaze of the gods, and this battle is a holy war!

The soldiers could not wait to start a desperate fight with the enemy!

"Depart!" As Hobert said these words, he used the ability of "Distortion" to distort space.

After becoming an angel, most of Hobert's abilities have undergone qualitative changes. Within a radius of twenty kilometers, He can carry any living beings and things inside with him to cross space.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this team of more than 1,800 people appeared on the predetermined battlefield.

Several demigods not far from Hobert were stunned: No wonder we didn't need our plan. It turned out that the Grand Duke had a faster way!

The most touched was Lawrence: This is the power of an angel. Such an ability is already a miracle.

Not only ordinary soldiers, but even the Beyonders reacted after a few seconds and began to loudly praise the "Creator."

After the sound of praise subsided, Archibald and Seer began to issue orders, set up defense lines and artillery positions, set up command posts and ammunition depots, and so on.

Hobert led Lawrence, Marva, Angus, and others to the top of a hill to look northeast.

The surrounding hills are not very high, and the view is very good. From here, it looks like one green bubble after another has appeared on the ground.

Just as they were discussing how to accurately attack the enemy's Beyonders, Lawrence suddenly stopped, and then his face changed drastically: "Everyone, Rockville City has been attacked by the enemy, and the Beyonders left there have suffered heavy casualties."

Elliott was very concerned about this: "Where did the enemy come from?"

Rockville City has always been guarded by the Balk family, and there have been heavy casualties, which means that many members of the Balk family have died!

Therefore, among the people present, Lawrence and Elliott were particularly concerned about this.

"No matter where the enemy comes from, let's support Rockville City first," Hobert said: "Lawrence, Elliott, immediately gather your subordinates, and I will pray to the 'Creator' to send you to Rockville City."

"If you need more support, ask me for help immediately!"

Lawrence and Elliott immediately agreed and immediately used the method of "distorting" space to go down the mountain to gather their subordinates.

After they had gathered almost enough, Hobert pretended to pray. His spirit body took the opportunity to enter the "Nation of Disorder," lifted the seal on uniqueness, put on the crown, and the spirit body expanded twice.

Then, using his stars, he projected power and "distorted" the positions of Lawrence and Elliott and hundreds of other Beyonders, allowing them to appear directly in Rockville City.

Not only Lawrence and others, but also Marva and others present also noticed that the "Creator's" temperament had undergone tremendous changes.

They didn't see the specific changes, because the moment the "Creator" appeared, their spirituality forced them to lower their heads.

At the same time, their legs became weak, and they knelt down on one knee unconsciously.

What is certain is that the "Creator" gave people more pressure, and correspondingly, the "Creator" must be more powerful!

Sitting on the "Iron Throne," Hobert did not immediately return to the real world, but used Lawrence's stars to observe the situation in Rockville City.

At this time, fierce extraordinary battles were breaking out on the streets of the city. The Beyonders left behind were already on the verge of collapse and were using sealed items to retreat to the Governor's Mansion in the city.

The sudden appearance of Lawrence and others made both sides a little confused. The battle was briefly favorable to the Balk family, but soon, because the enemy's power was too strong, the Balk family was forced to shrink the front again.

After observing for a while, Hobert noticed that the enemy had "Hunters" and "Bards."

Hobert had a general guess as to where the enemy came from.

Returning to the real world, Hobert wondered which part of the force to send to continue to support?

The people of the Tony family can no longer be sent there. Originally, the two main forces in this battle were the Balk family and the Tony family. Now that the Balk family has returned to support, the Tony family must stay here to resist the "Rose School of Thought."

At this time, Angus and others were discussing where the enemy that suddenly appeared came from?

"They are the Beyonder forces of the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic," Hobert said very calmly.

Although Hobert and the angel of the Feysac Empire had destroyed George III's mausoleum together, with the sudden death of George III, their cooperative relationship ended.

The products of "Earl's Light" are very popular in the Intis Republic and have a good relationship with the Eternal Blazing Sun Church, but the Eternal Blazing Sun Church has a good relationship with "Earl's Light," not with the Duchy of Southern Byland.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little surprised, Hobert further explained: "On the battlefield of the Northern Continent, the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic are jointly attacking Loen."

"This makes the Beyonders of the Feysac Empire no longer as free as they were some time ago to take care of other things, so they want to recover the two states ceded to us."

"As for the Intis Republic, after the forces of Feysac and Feynapotter successively withdrew from the southern part of the Southern Continent, only the forces of the Intis Republic are left here."

"They can understand with their butts that as long as we free up our hands, we will definitely clean them up, so it is better to take the initiative to attack our living forces."

Some people frowned, some were silent. The war, which was originally confident of victory, deviated from the original plan from the beginning.
