Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 718 Death Knell
After witnessing Mora's disappearance, the eldest prince Anxika's expression changed suddenly.

Although it is not clear what method Enzo used to devour Mora, the eldest prince Anxika knows very well that the life and death of the chaotic blood man who is loyal to him is currently unknown.

"Kill! Kill him for me!"

The eldest prince Anshika let out a low growl, and waved his hands to order the soldiers behind him to charge. Black and the others felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

However, the next moment.

Enzo's figure suddenly disappeared in place, and the pupils of the eldest prince Anxika shrank for a while, and immediately after that, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.

The ferocious head rolled to the ground, immediately frightening the audience.

"The eldest prince must die!"

Enzo held Anxika's head, with a gloomy glint in his eyes, and said coldly.

"Are you still going to serve a dead man?"

While speaking, Enzo's eyes flickered, and invisible spiritual power spread out, making the surrounding soldiers feel inexplicable oppression.

Boom!

The soldiers surrounded at the front of the forest threw their weapons on the ground as if they had lost their souls, followed by the second and third, and a chain reaction spread, causing all the soldiers to choose to surrender.

"In a low-magic world, the influence of spiritual power is really terrifying!" Enzo sighed in his heart, using his spiritual power to form an influence, he controlled these soldiers in a moment.

Beside, Blake is dumbfounded.

Everything happened so fast, even before he could react, the head of the eldest prince Anxika had fallen, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers belonging to him knelt down and surrendered.

"Is this... the power of the Blood Chaos?"

Black's eyes were complicated, looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers around him, a trace of deep fear and a trace of fear appeared on his face.

"Master Blake."

At this time, Enzo turned his head and asked, "What shall we do next?"

Blake froze.

Afterwards, he pondered for a moment, stepped forward and said, "Prince Anxika is dead, you are all loyal warriors of the kingdom!"

"Now that the kingdom is in crisis, it is time for you to show your loyalty! Third Prince Andre, as the old king's orthodox bloodline, is the most qualified to inherit the throne. Please follow me to the southern border!"

Hearing Black's words, the soldiers glanced at each other.

They were originally local militiamen, not the regular army of the kingdom, but the lords they were loyal to, and under the order of the eldest prince Anxika, they embarked on the journey to the capital in a daze.

And now, the eldest prince Anshika is dead.

The non-commissioned officers in the tens of thousands of troops changed their minds one after another. Their purpose of leaving the territory was to follow a king's blood to make contributions. As for the prince, he didn't really care.

"Willing to serve the third prince!"

Suddenly, a commander-in-chief stepped forward, half-kneeled in front of Black, and said in a deep voice, "Kelin, the guard of Kutu City, is meeting Lord Black!"

"The defenders of Kutu City?"

Blake's heart moved, he looked at the Kelin knight kneeling in front of him, a trace of thought appeared on his face, and he suddenly remembered something, said.

"Have I met you before?"

"Yes, Lord Black."

Kailin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I once stayed in the Seventh Army for a month, and was fortunate to follow the adults to suppress bandits, and was transferred to Kutu City later."

"So it is." Blake suddenly realized.

And with Kaelin being the first to pledge allegiance, several knights knelt down to express their surrender one after another. Black's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but get excited.

Since the defeat of the Seventh Army, Black, who was originally the head of the legion, has been in a downturn. This time he took refuge in the third prince Andre, intending to pull up a team again.

But now, Black has incorporated the army in front of him.

Although the army belonging to the eldest prince Anxika is only composed of a group of militiamen, it is more than [-] after all, stronger than the previous Seventh Army.

As long as it goes through a period of training, Black believes that this army will definitely become stronger, and even play an important role in the battle for the throne.

……

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Since incorporating the army of the eldest prince Anshika, Black has become more energetic, and the decadence caused by the defeat of the Seventh Army has been swept away.

An army of 60,000 people marched towards the south under the leadership of Black.

The blue sky stretches as far as the eye can see, it is as pure as a vast ocean, and if you look around, you can hardly see a thousand clouds.

In the distance, a group of birds flew towards the sky.

"The front is the southern border."

On the plain, Blake walked ahead on horseback, pointed to the direction of the southern border, and said, "The area of ​​the southern border in the Kingdom of Tucker is second only to the northern border. The Eagle City on the border is located in the canyon, which is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack! "

Beside, Enzo nodded slightly.

Since killing the eldest prince Anxika a few days ago, he has become the second person in the team, and even most of the time, Black has to follow his advice.

Then, for moving forward.

Mountains gradually appeared around, and the road became rugged. There was only one narrow path, and the army of 60,000 people advanced like a long dragon.

At this moment, Blake stopped.

He saw a flag belonging to the southern border on the valley not far away, with a painting of an eagle flying high, but there was a white sail beside it.

Blake's heart sank.

In the Kingdom of Tucker, such white sails are often hoisted only after someone dies, and there are very few people who are qualified to hoist white sails in the southern territory.

"The Duke of the South!"

Black's face was gloomy. The Duke of the Southland was old, which was well known in the entire Kingdom of Tucker. This legendary knight was already the Duke of the Southland even before King Ander of the Kingdom of Tucker came to power.

"Damn it! It's this time!"

Black's face was ugly. If the Duke of the Southland passed away at this time, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the third prince Andre.

If I had known earlier, the four dukes were both legendary knights.

Only with the support of legendary knights can the third prince be qualified to compete for the throne, which is the biggest hole card against the fourth prince.

In today's Tucker Kingdom, two of the several king bloods who have the qualifications to fight for the king have been eliminated.

Grand Prince Ankashi.

Twelve Princes and Queens!
Only the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are left who are capable of competing for the throne.

Among the three princes, the fourth prince has the support of the Duke of the West Region, the third prince has the support of the Duke of the South Region, and the fifth prince is himself a great knight and has a certain prestige in the army.

But now, if the white sail raised in the south is really due to the death of the Duke of the South, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the third prince Andre.

"Keep going!"

Black suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and ordered the army to continue to move forward. At this time, a group of southern soldiers appeared on the canyons on both sides.

"Stop! Who?"

The soldiers in the southern border were condescending, and the archers aimed at Black, but they did not attack rashly, mainly because there were too many people on the other side.

"I am Black, the commander of the Seventh Army!"

Blake took a step forward, ignoring the ready-to-go arrows around him, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the third prince, Andre, is in the southern border, so he came here specially to seek refuge."

"The commander of the Seventh Army?"

Hearing Black's words, a figure dressed as a knight walked out of the southern soldiers on both sides of the canyon, and asked tentatively, "Master Black?"

"Knight Gal?"

When Blake saw the knight, a trace of surprise appeared on his face. He was a knight directly under the third prince Andre, who was a personal guard. In most cases, he would not leave Andre an inch.

The two had met in the capital before.

And, because of the third prince Andre's sake, Blake also taught Gal Knight swordsmanship.

"What happened in the south?"

Seeing his old friend, Blake relaxed his vigilance and asked, "What are these white sails?"

"Could it be, the Lord Duke of the South..."

Black didn't finish his sentence, but there was a strange look on Gal's face, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

"The Duke of the South is fine."

Black immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Duke of the South was the support of the third prince Andre in his fight for the throne. As long as this legendary knight was fine, the death of anyone in the South would not affect the current situation.

"It's Your Highness Andre..." At this moment, Gal said again.

Black seemed to be struck by lightning, the expression on his face froze, he couldn't believe it, and asked tremblingly, "What did you... just say?"

"Three days ago, His Royal Highness Andre was assassinated."

There was a hint of grief on the knight Gal's face, and he wailed, "It's the killer sent by the fourth prince Anthony!"

Blake swayed for a while and almost fell off his horse.

"How could this be?"

After a long while, Blake stabilized his mind and said in a trembling voice, "How can something happen to His Highness Andre."

Knight Gal had an ugly face and shook his head helplessly.

Afterwards, the southern knights on both sides of the canyon put down their bows and arrows, and the Gal knight appeared in front, facing Black and his army, marching towards Eagle City, and at the same time told what happened in the southern border.

"...No one knows what kind of method the fourth prince Anthony used."

Cavalier Gall walked beside Black, sighed, "Under the watchful eyes of everyone, His Highness Andre's whole body burned, and he lost his life in a short while, even the Duke of the Southern Territory, who was beside him at the time, couldn't stop him in time."

Blake's face was gloomy, but he didn't know what to say.

The incident happened within three days. Andre, who had assembled the army in the southern border, was about to discuss with his knights how to march towards the capital, but a red color suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Andre's whole body burned up, turning into a charred corpse in an instant.

Things happened so fast that even the Duke of the South didn't realize it. He only found the name of the fourth prince Anthony on the back of Andre's charred corpse, as if it was a way of declaring war.

On the next day, Antony also sent an envoy.

The other party directly stated that they were responsible for Andre's death, and demanded that the Duke of the Southern Region surrender unconditionally, otherwise they would send troops to the Southern Region to destroy the entire family of the Duke of the Southern Region.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Duke of the South to agree to this.

However, because the death of the third prince Andre was too strange, many knights from the southern border were present at that time, and now the southern border has become panic-stricken. After losing the third prince Andre, he became a little at a loss.

"What does the Duke of the Southern Region plan to do next?"

On the way to Eagle City, Black asked, "Since the third prince is dead, no matter what, the southern border must find a king's blood in order to justifiably compete for the throne, right?"

"On this point, the Duke of the South has already decided."

Next to him, Knight Gal nodded and said, "His Royal Highness the third prince died suddenly, without even leaving any heirs. The Duke of the Southern Region could only raise the banner of Her Royal Highness Princess Seven and elect her as Queen Tucker."

"Princess Seven?" Blake was taken aback.

After Knight Garr's description, he remembered that the old king Ander also had a seventh princess, who was also the granddaughter of the Duke of the South, but she was only 15 years old and her presence was not high.

The little princess was raised in the palace until the kingdom of Tucker fell into chaos. In order to prevent her from being persecuted by the fourth prince Anthony, the Duke of the South took her out of the palace and was secretly sent to the south by the great knight under his command.

"Ugh!"

Black sighed, feeling a little depressed. He thought that after getting the army of the eldest prince Anshika, he could go to the third prince Andre to help him ascend the throne and end the chaos in the Kingdom of Tucker.

However, it was unexpected that the third prince Andre would be assassinated.

This led to the end of Black's plan before it started. Although there is still a seventh princess in the southern border, Black really has no confidence in this girl who is nearly 15 years old.

Not long after, Eagle City appeared ahead.

As Black looked, Eagle City was located among the mountains. As a border city in the south, the terrain here was difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the narrow environment was enough to withstand a hundred thousand troops.

In the history of the Tucker Kingdom, Eagle City has almost no record of being breached.

The few times they fell were also due to the actions of legendary knights, who broke through the gates of Eagle City with their strong personal strength.

"Master Blake."

When they came outside Eagle City, Knight Garr didn't let anyone open the city gate, but said, "Now that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has just passed away, the Duke of the Southern Region ordered that the entire Southern Region be under martial law, so I can only wrong you to set up camp outside the city first." .”

"I understand." Blake nodded.

This was something he had expected before. Although Black had made good friends with the third prince Andre before, after all, he was not completely loyal to him, so the southern border still maintained a bit of vigilance against him.

Unless there is an order from the Duke of the South, Knight Garr cannot open the gate of Eagle City and let these [-] soldiers enter.

"Thank you." Gal Knight nodded.

Afterwards, Black ordered the soldiers to camp in the open space near Eagle City. Knight Garr also provided a lot of help for this, and generously stated that before the order from the Duke of the South, all the rations of the soldiers under Black’s command were provided by Eagle The city is responsible.

A few hours later, the six major armies set up camp.

Under the Eagle City, in the largest tent, Blake's expression was ugly. The sudden death of the third prince Andre caught him by surprise.
