In Rockville City, when the enemy retreated once more, the Governor's mansion truly resembled ruins ravaged by artillery fire.

However, the Beyonders of the Duchy of Southern Balam still had to defend it, because the teleportation array was located in the Governor's mansion, and subsequent reinforcements would rely on the teleportation array to arrive.

Cattleya and the other two who had supported them in the emergency had already left, because in the previous Tarot Club transaction, Cattleya only owed one demigod-level assistance.

Alger and Leonard, however, did not leave, because they owed three Sequence 5-level assistances and had to help resist two more rounds of enemy attacks.

Fors was healing the injured Beyonders with sealed artifacts while encouraging everyone, and morale in Rockville City remained high!

...

Mat Woods, the decisive battlefield of the civil war in the Duchy of Southern Balam.

While Angus's troops were supporting Angel City, the Rose School tentatively launched another offensive, which was blocked by the Tony family's troops led by Marva, as well as the Council of Knowledge who had arrived.

With the return of Angus's troops, the Beyonder battlefield war came to an end.

At this time, ordinary soldiers who had accelerated to the battlefield using Beyonder powers launched a fierce charge towards the Southern Balam army's position.

Although they had a huge advantage in numbers, because of their poor combat effectiveness, they not only failed to capture the Southern Balam army's position, but also suffered considerable casualties.

Among them were also some Beyonders who served local nobles and warlords, but this group of Beyonders did not gain any advantage either, and were severely dealt with by the military's Beyonders.

Hobert did not pay any attention to the war there, because Archibald was in command at the general headquarters, and even if the position was lost, the attacking enemy would immediately defect and become Archibald's marionettes, staging a scene of rebels fighting each other.

Taking this opportunity, Hobert allowed the Beyonder troops to rest and prepare for the upcoming final battle.

The Rose School did not launch a new offensive either, and was obviously also brewing for the final battle.

Until dusk, Hobert felt the evil aura brewing in the air, and the entire Mat Woods seemed to be cursed, the vegetation turned withered and yellow, and the animals hiding in their nests suddenly died violently.

Hobert knew that the moment of the final battle had arrived.

...

At this time, in Rockville City, the two sides, who had rested for an afternoon, clashed fiercely again.

In the afternoon, the Temperance faction's third batch of reinforcements arrived, and with the addition of the Balk family's demigod, the Southern Balam side had gathered seven demigods.

At the same time, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Hobert's biological mother, April, arrived after hearing the news, adding another powerful helper.

In addition to boosting morale, Fors also began to play another role: coordinating all parties to fight together.

Currently, the garrison in Rockville City, in addition to the official Beyonders led by the Balk family, also includes the power of the Temperance faction, as well as two Tarot Club members and April.

They would not obey the commands of other forces, and at this time, someone was needed to gather them together and discuss a battle plan, so as to avoid fighting on their own when the enemy attacked.

Hobert could not come over, and Fors could represent Him in coordinating accordingly.

In addition to the eight demigods, the Creator gave the official Beyonders six Grade 1 sealed artifacts in one breath, and also gave Alger and Leonard one Grade 1 sealed artifact each.

Added together, these forces were enough to resist the enemy's ten demigods.

In the war that broke out in the evening, even if the other side had two more demigods, the Southern Balam garrison was relatively calm.

Lawrence was still resisting the demigod on the other side who held a Grade 0 sealed artifact, which was the sealed artifact equivalent to the Blasphemy Elder of the Seer pathway.

Therefore, Lawrence kept his mouth shut during the battle to prevent the other side from using his language.

The command on the Balk family's side had to be handed over to another demigod.

Just as Lawrence was using the sealed artifact to deal with the enemy, his spirituality suddenly sent a strong danger warning, and he saw a brilliant flame flying from the horizon and landing on the edge of the battlefield.

The flames went out, and a middle-aged man in a tailcoat, with a mustache, and neatly combed hair walked out of it.

The fighting parties did not know why, but after seeing the middle-aged man, they were a little at a loss, and the battlefield became strangely quiet.

The middle-aged man waved his hand gently, and a dozen Beyonders from the Duchy of Southern Balam were immediately engulfed in flames, including a demigod.

Their screams made everyone come back to their senses, and helplessness and despair, as well as the grief of losing their comrades, blocked the chests of the Beyonders of the Duchy of Southern Balam.

Lawrence only felt a chill behind his head: It's an angel! Retreat, retreat!

That's right, it was Awatoma Einhorn, the angel of the Feysac Empire.

He really couldn't figure out why, after a whole day, the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic had dispatched twelve demigods and more than three hundred Beyonders, but they still failed to capture this small Rockville City?

Theoretically, this battle should have been won very easily, and the main force of the Duchy of Southern Balam was in the Mat Woods, and the highest sequence of the Beyonders in Rockville City was only two Sequence 5s!

But what I didn't expect was that the main force of the Balk family had supported them in less than a minute after the battle broke out.

Rockville City was constantly reinforced, and Feysac and Intis were also constantly reinforced, but they still failed to occupy Rockville City.

Especially in the evening, the Rose School's decisive battle with the main force of Southern Balam had already begun, and the raid on Rockville City was still very unsuccessful.

This made the high-level officials of the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic a little restless. You must know that at the most intense time of the war on the south coast of the Jennan Sea, the Beyonder forces deployed by the Feysac Empire there were only so many.

It was not surprising that the Beyonders of the Loen Kingdom were able to defend the defense line at that time, after all, it was a great power in the world, and the number of Beyonders and the number of troops ranked first among the four great powers.

But it was a bit incredible that such Beyonder forces failed to capture a colony city.

So Awatoma came in person. He wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. If the war in Mat Woods ended, the Feysac Empire would lose the best opportunity to take back the territories of the two states, including Rockville City.

The war in the Northern Continent was still very anxious, and so many Beyonders could not stay in the Southern Continent forever.

In fact, the reason why this Beyonder war was so unsuccessful was that the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic underestimated the enemy, and they lacked sufficient understanding of the Creator's Beyonder forces and determination to fight.

Moreover, they were nobles, with typical noble thinking.

If Hobert encountered the same situation, Hobert would immediately take action to occupy the city as soon as the initial offensive was unsuccessful.

After all, behind this city was a light industrial base that had cost about half a year and hundreds of thousands of pounds to build. Even the machines had been bought, and all that was missing was the recruitment of skilled workers to start work.

In Hobert's opinion, such great benefits were worth dispatching an angel.

But the high-level officials of the Feysac Empire and the Intis Republic had been questioning the demigods on the front line, until the final battle had begun, and the angel of the Feysac Empire had taken action.

For the first time, the Rockville City garrison showed signs of collapsing morale. That was an angel. No matter how desperately they resisted, it was meaningless in the face of the angel's power.

Then the defense line collapsed, and there were signs of a rout, with Beyonders scrambling to run towards the teleportation array.

People were constantly engulfed in flames and burned to ashes. Fire Crows and Fireballs exploded around them along with the Gun of No Darkness, and each explosion could take away one or several lives.

Many people had completely collapsed, and even cried and tried to escape.

At this time, only Fors and April did not escape.

Fors pulled from left to right with her right hand, as if she had grabbed something in the void, and laboriously dragged out a figure.

This figure was wearing a formal suit and looked very gentlemanly and polite, but his expression was very cold, and his eyes revealed an undisguised madness. It was the adventurer Gehrman Sparrow.

At this time, Klein, who was walking alone in the Forsaken Land of the Gods with a lantern, felt something and immediately entered the historical void.

Gehrman Sparrow's originally very confused eyes in Rockville City first softened, but soon became as cold as his expression.

Alger and Leonard in the corner of the Governor's mansion were both stunned: Isn't this guy in the Forsaken Land of the Gods?

Klein glanced at Awatoma, who was walking towards him unhurriedly, and he immediately reached out and grabbed with his right hand like Fors, dragging out a figure, who was Hobert in a military uniform, looking a little stern.

At the same time, April placed Fors in a hazy moonlight.

Whether it was maintaining Gehrman Sparrow's historical projection or Hobert's projection that Klein summoned from the historical gap, it consumed Fors's spirituality.

When Hobert appeared, Fors's spirituality was close to exhaustion, but fortunately, the moonlight ability used by April quickly restored her spirituality.

Moreover, April did not use the Full Moon ability. That ability restored spirituality faster, but the whispers in the full moon would also make Fors very uncomfortable.

Awatoma on the other side was also slightly stunned. He was about to drive the garrison out of the Governor's mansion, and he was preparing to let some of the enemies leave, leaving some room between the Feysac Empire and the Duchy of Southern Balam.

Moreover, he was also considering using the enemy's Beyonder characteristics to negotiate with Hobert, so that Hobert would admit that the two states would return to the Feysac Empire.

Why did an Scholar of Yore suddenly appear at this time? And he summoned Hobert as soon as he came up!

Awatoma felt that Hobert was already an angel at this time!

And the fear on the side of the Rockville City garrison seemed to be swept away: It's the Grand Duke! The Grand Duke is here!

Follow the Grand Duke and counterattack!

Charge!

At this time, Hobert already possessed the characteristics of a spiritual pillar. His wife could make morale high for a whole day, let alone Hobert himself!

He saw Hobert's historical projection, with a somewhat dull expression, reaching out and pushing forward slightly, and a wall of fire immediately ignited in front of Awatoma and others.

He used Awatoma's ability to block the enemy's pursuit.

At this time, Klein was still grabbing non-stop, grabbing two or three more times, and grabbing Azik, the Death Consul, with soft features and a medium build.

At the same time, Azik's historical projection, also with a somewhat dazed expression, opened his mouth slightly and issued an attack of the Language of the Dead.

Hobert's historical projection magnified in a timely manner. Although there was Awatoma's blocking, many people on the side of the pursuers still had their spiritual bodies directly shattered, and they fell to the ground and died without even struggling.

Awatoma looked coldly at the two historical projections in front of him and issued an order to retreat.

Everyone cheered and surrounded Hobert. The enemy's attack was repelled again!

Klein controlled Hobert to wave to everyone, and then disappeared into the void with Azik's historical projection.

Fors, who looked a little weak, shouted loudly: The final battle has already begun! Everyone stick to their posts and must defend Rockville City until the final battle in Mat Woods is over!

The victory just now restored the morale of the tired people, and they built a defense line in the ruins again.

Looking at Gehrman Sparrow's disappearance, Fors sat on the ground a little exhausted, while April tried to restore her strength and spirituality.

Fors knew that the enemy would launch a new offensive soon, because the enemy's angel must know that the Scholar of Yore could not maintain the historical projection of the angel level for a long time.

According to Hobert's instructions, she immediately prayed to the Fool, and soon received a response that help would be provided later, which made Fors breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as Mr. Fool blocks the enemy's angel, they will definitely be able to defend until the end of the decisive battle on the main battlefield.

At this time, the official Beyonders who were sticking to their posts saw their companions who had been burned to ashes or blown to death, and a wave of grief appeared in their hearts again.

The deaths of their companions and extreme fatigue were tormenting their spirits.

So they also prayed one after another, but they prayed to the Creator.

Soon they almost all received a response from the Creator, and that great figure sitting on the throne said: When that ray of morning sun appears in Rockville City, it will be the time to welcome victory.

Many people shed tears of excitement. Their God told them that they could usher in the victorious morning sun by persevering for one more night!

...

Let's go back to the main battlefield, Mat Woods, more than twenty minutes ago.

The Beyonders felt an evil aura descending on the earth. Hobert, still standing on the high hill, waved his hand towards the battlefield. He used the ability of Exploit to dissipate the evil aura in advance, and the anxiety that filled everyone's hearts also disappeared.

In the distance, Barranca, wearing a Southern Continent-style wizard robe, appeared again. He was dozens of meters tall, looking taller than the surrounding hills.

Barranca had an evil smile on his face. He walked towards this side not only slowly, giving everyone a huge sense of oppression, but also making people feel an evil sense of holiness on him.

As soon as the other party appeared, Hobert immediately tampered with the spiritual fluctuations on the battlefield, otherwise Beyonders below the demigod level would immediately lose control if they just glanced at Barranca, turning into monsters, or being inexplicably cursed, their spiritual bodies dying on the spot, and their bodies turning into monsters.

Hobert didn't focus all his attention on Barana. In general, at this moment of decisive battle, the first to appear were characters who attracted attention.

Just as Hobert expected, Kleist, leaning on his bone crutch, suddenly appeared beside Him, opening his mouth to utter an extremely evil curse at Hobert.

But the moment He opened his mouth, Hobert had already "used" this curse to attack Barana over there.

The tall Barana immediately disappeared, leaving only a cloth doll in its place. The next second, the doll was cursed and turned into a rabbit.

On the hill, Barana also appeared beside Hobert. He reached out, pierced his own chest, took out his heart, and squeezed it hard.

With a stern expression, Hobert immediately felt his heart stop, as if he were about to die in the next second.

In fact, at the level of angels, even if the heart was crushed by Barana, Hobert would not be greatly affected. However, Barana, also an angel, was simultaneously attacking Hobert's spirit body with the "Source of Curse" ability.

So the discomfort Hobert felt actually came from his spirit body!

At the same time that Barana squeezed his heart, Hobert disappeared from the sight of the two.

As early as when Barana had just disappeared in the distance, Hobert had "tampered" with his position with the other party. At the same time that the heart felt severe discomfort, Hobert had already appeared next to the cloth doll that had turned into a rabbit.

Casually "distorting" Barana's attack target, Hobert reached out and grabbed the "Holy Infant King" from the "Nation of Disorder", blocking it between him and Kleist.

The moment Hobert disappeared, Kleist also chased after him, but just as He was about to attack, a huge fleshy sphere appeared in front of him, half of it was pink flesh, and half of it was a transparent membrane like a soap bubble.

Inside the membrane, filled with a light yellow liquid, a jet-black baby was curled up in the center of the light yellow liquid.

He looked like a pregnant uterus, with an umbilical cord connecting the baby and the flesh.

For Kleist, the "Holy Infant King" was no stranger. During the extraordinary war with the Balk family, the "Creator" sent this angel to entangle Him.

Immediately afterwards, Hobert summoned the "Hundred-Eyed Devil Monarch" again from the "Nation of Disorder" to deal with Barana, who was following closely behind.

Hobert quickly withdrew and returned to the top of the hill, watching the entire battlefield.

At this time, extraordinary wars below the angel level had also begun. With the support of the three demigods of the Demoness of Pleasure Council and hundreds of Beyonders, the number of Beyonders in the Southern Balam Duchy was about the same as the main force of the "Rose School of Thought".

Because of the command advantage of the five-person team, victory on the battlefield at this level was only a matter of time.

But the "Rose School of Thought" must also be very clear about this. However, the war had still begun, indicating that the power of the "Rose School of Thought" was more than that.

While Hobert was guessing where the reinforcements of the "Rose School of Thought" came from, he threw the "Bull Devil Monarch" and the "Great Sage" into the battlefield again, forcing the "Rose School of Thought" to reveal their trump cards first.

The two demigods created by the "Nation of Disorder" forced the "Rose School of Thought" to also dispatch two demigods to entangle them, immediately breaking the original evenly matched battle situation.

A few seconds later, a huge mirror suddenly appeared on one side of the battlefield.

One by one, slender, charming, or beautiful witches appeared on the battlefield and accurately attacked the weakest point of the Southern Balam Duchy, the Demoness of Pleasure Council's phalanx.

The corners of Hobert's mouth curled up: So the "Rose School of Thought" had started a cooperation with the Demoness Sect.

When He advanced to Sequence 2 before, the "Demoness of Catastrophe" Sherry had appeared, but Sherry should have felt or understood that Erebus was an Outer God's clone, so His willingness to participate in the war was not strong.

But this time it was different. As soon as the witches arrived, they severely beat the Demoness Council.

The two sides not only had personal grievances, but also because the Demoness Sect had begun to retreat south in the previous defeat. They really did not want to see Hobert's power grow in the Southern Continent.

So they were very active as soon as they participated in the war.

Countless imperceptible fine threads suddenly appeared around Hobert and quickly entangled Him.

But Sherry, who was in a hidden state, couldn't help frowning. These fine threads seemed to be close to Hobert's body, but He could feel that there was an invisible force between the fine threads and Hobert that blocked the fine threads.

This was the first time Hobert had "tampered" with electromagnetism, one of the four natural forces, in actual combat. In nature, there are positive charges and negative charges, and there is a repulsive force between two identical charges.

It's the same principle as the fact that the same poles of magnets repel each other. On a microscopic level, this force is great.

Hobert had done experiments before. After becoming the "Duke of Entropy", he could, to a certain extent, "tamper" with the microscopic forces in nature, thereby forming a structure similar to a "protective shield" with a huge repulsive force.

Hobert had done corresponding experiments before. Neither high-speed projectiles nor attacks of extraordinary power could break through this layer of "repulsion".

After all, extraordinary power is the power in this universe. Since it exists in this universe, it must follow the basic rules of the universe.

However, the extraordinary power that can be blocked is a direct attack, such as Sherry's spider silk, or the "Hunter" pathway's fireball, the warrior pathway's "Dawn Greatsword", etc., this kind of substantial extraordinary attack.

If it is an attack on the spirit body or the mental body, it has no defensive effect.

Hobert easily broke free from Sherry's spider silk and simultaneously used the "1-113" Solomon family's emblem to summon the "Duke of Entropy".

The shadow-like "Duke of Entropy" used the ability of "Disorder" on the surrounding space. This ability was like ripples spreading outward and quickly found Sherry, who was in a hidden state.

Hobert let go and let the "Duke of Entropy" deal with Sherry, and He withdrew from the battle again.

At this time, the Demoness Council's phalanx was about to be broken through by the Demoness Sect.

Hobert instantly left the battlefield, entered the "Nation of Disorder", and put on the Uniqueness again, distorting the "Trunsoest Empire" far away in the Fog Sea to the battlefield.

Whether it was the enemy or his own people, they were stunned when they saw the giant ship more than a thousand meters long!

The armies of the opposing sides in the distance forgot to fight, looking in surprise at the huge warship that suddenly appeared in the afterglow of the evening, and many soldiers on the rebel side were kneeling and worshiping.

Even on the side of the Southern Balam Duchy, only some people knew that the "Creator" currently possessed the "Spectre Empire", after all, this giant ship had only shown its face once, and that time it easily resolved the "Rose School of Thought's" sneak attack on Tortuga Port.

The "Rose School of Thought" certainly knew of the existence of this ship, but they never expected that the "Spectre Empire" would come to the land to participate in the war!
