This is a precursor to a high-sequence fight.
Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed people said with even more joy:
"It seems that the earl has been forced to not hold back. I am really looking forward to it."
"On one side is a powerful enemy that I must fight with all my strength, and on the other side is a special zone where I cannot expose my extraordinary abilities. But if I don't fight with all my strength, those ancient creatures will rush out, and I might even die. Tsk tsk, no matter which choice I make, it's a wrong one."
As he spoke, the man in black robe bowed to the Elf Godcrafter and the stone statue behind him with increasing excitement:
"And no matter how it develops, in the end, it will only point to the elves. Originally, I still had to worry about whether this would be regarded as a simple seal going berserk, but with you and your king, tsk tsk. His Majesty the Emperor is really reaping the benefits!"
After standing up, the man in black robe stretched out his hand to the neck of the Elf Godcrafter. He wanted to kill the Godcrafter. In this way, the body of the Godcrafter and the stone statue would be the biggest and best evidence.
However, just as he was about to take action, he saw the sarcasm and contempt in the eyes of the Elf Craftsman.
The next moment, a huge rune sword emerged from behind and split the black-robed leader in half.
Chapter 21: The real oriole is behind the scenes—Mozo!
But the strange thing was that after the black-robed man's body was cut open by the rune sword, not only did it not bleed, but the cut surface showed a strange black color, and immediately melted and disappeared in the room.
In response, the Elf Master immediately shouted at the Elf puppet that cut open the black-robed man:
"He is a shadow mage. He has one chance a day to use his shadow to save his life. He must be in your shadow, attacking from behind!" (Ancient Elf language)
Upon hearing this, the puppet that had branded Audrey as a slave immediately turned around and stabbed the shadow beneath it.
This attack successfully forced the man in black out from the shadows.
After the man in black jumped out from the shadow, he was forced to dodge repeatedly as the puppet kept swinging the rune sword.
However, as a Sequence 5, he was no pushover. Although he had to distract himself to control the Elf Godcrafter, he still kept trying to control the shadow under the puppet to restrict or even control the puppet.
That was why the man in black dodged the puppet's several sure-hit attacks.
At the same time, the man in black robe couldn't help but curse himself for being like this elf, thinking that he had grasped the overall situation but ignoring the details.
It was obvious that there were the remains of the elves underneath, and they had even seen with their own eyes this puppet that was still functioning. Why hadn't he thought about the possibility that this damn craftsman might have already controlled this puppet at some point
But it was no use regretting it, he had to focus on fighting now.
However, it is comforting that the vibrations coming from underground are becoming more and more obvious and frequent, while the flower buds blooming on the surrounding walls are becoming more and more lush and huge.
I guess even if the earl intended to control the scope, the people above should have noticed many differences.
As the battle continued, the puppet's attack became weaker as more and more shadows were controlled.
The Elf Mastersmith also tried very hard to break free from the opponent's restraints, but even though they were both at Sequence Five, he had already lost the initiative and his shadow was controlled, so all he could do was to tie up most of the opponent's energy.
It's just to prevent it from controlling the puppet's shadow so quickly.
Don't ask why you don't hide in a dark place, this trick is useless to the shadow mage. On the contrary, you will lose a lot of opportunities because you can't see the degree of replacement of your own shadow.
Finally, after a long struggle, the puppet's shadow was completely replaced by the black-robed man's own.
Under the control of the giant black-robed man, the puppet was also in a state of being unable to move. After the black-robed man replaced the puppet's shadow, he even directly controlled the puppet to pierce his body with the rune sword on his arm.
After a loud bang, the sweaty black-robed leader finally relaxed. Controlling a puppet of the same sequence and an ancient puppet at the same time was still quite strenuous for him.
But now that the puppet has been killed, the rest will be much easier. The man in black robes once again walked towards the Elf Godsmith.
"Well, the episode is over. After I kill you, it's time for me to leave. Such a big thing happened in the Special Zone. If I don't run faster, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the Styx to find you right after I send you away."
The black-robed man took out a dagger from his bosom. This time he was not going to enjoy the process of killing an elf master craftsman, he was going to cut the opponent's neck directly.
As for why the elf mastermind was murdered, that was too simple. They just put the dagger in the other party's hand afterwards to disguise it as a sacrifice scene.
After all, he activated an ancient legion equivalent to Sequence 2.
But just when the man in black thought he was completely safe, behind him, in the dark sewer, there was a bang and a large amount of sparks and gunshots.
Then the man in black robe felt a pause in his chest followed by a huge pain.
He was shot.
Immediately, the black-robed man turned around and pointed, and Mozo in the dark was controlled by him. This made the black-robed man breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was only a low sequence. He could control the shadow without any effort.
Sequence Five can crush lower Sequences even if they are seriously injured.
But he forgot that when a person is injured and mentally exhausted, his control over his abilities will also decrease, so the Elf Craftsman escaped, at least partially.
The shadow of the master craftsman Daedalus was no longer a completely black-robed man, but had become half human, half elf.
Using the half of his body that could move, the master craftsman raised his hand and stabbed the black-robed man in the heart.
This should have been an instant kill, but the response was so great that the master craftsman was stunned for a moment. No heart? Mirror man?!
It was also the innate difference of the leader of the black-robed men that prevented the master craftsman's fatal blow from killing him instantly. Although this was already a fatal injury, it still gave the black-robed men time to counterattack.
Especially when half of the master craftsman's body is still unable to move.
Knowing that he was doomed, the man in black robe immediately stabbed the master craftsman's heart with a dagger with a ferocious look on his face.
He couldn't leave today, but it didn't matter, as long as the elf's master craftsman died here, the elves would still be the biggest suspects. Because he was a secret troop of the empire, even in the empire, only His Majesty the Emperor knew his identity.
Thinking of this, the man in black robe raised his head with satisfaction after successfully stabbing the dagger:
"Your Majesty, I have repaid the country's kindness!"
After saying this, he passed away completely. As for the Godcrafter whose heart was pierced by the dagger, he did not die immediately thanks to the strong physique of the elf.
But even so, he collapsed to his knees on the ground.
At the same time, Mozo, who had just fired a shot in the dark, also walked out of the darkness after regaining his freedom.
Mozo looked at the kneeling master craftsman with a complicated expression. With such injuries, he would not survive.
Seeing Mozo, the master craftsman breathed heavily and said with difficulty:
"Take the girl and run, human. This place will soon be razed by our king's army. Run, while there is still time, run quickly, and remember to notify the humans above."
"I do hate this city that has desecrated the glory of my king, but I also understand that you ignorant humans are innocent, so, ahem. Run away."
Mozo did not make any comment on the kind words from the master craftsman before his death, but walked calmly towards the stone statue.
The master craftsman who noticed Mozo's actions said in confusion:
“Run, quickly take this girl with you, run… ahem, run.”
But as he was speaking, the master craftsman was shocked and angry to find that the other party's target was actually the crown on the stone statue!
"Asshole, what are you doing! That's my king's crown! Human!"
In shock and anger, the Elf Godcrafter, who was supposed to be dying, unexpectedly generated a burst of strength from nowhere. He walked towards Mozo with a ferocious and staggering look.
Then he grabbed Mozo's neck with one hand, his face was ferocious and terrifying, but his weak hands showed that he was really dying.
What supported him was not this dying body, but some higher belief.
The King’s glory must not be desecrated!
Chapter 22: The Duke of Windsor's Daughter
Feeling the weakness of the hands pinching his neck, Mozo paused his actions, frowned and asked:
“Is it worth it?”
In response to this, the elf master said grimly:
"Humans without faith and soul are despicable and ignorant! Ahem. Anyway, stop right there and... get out!"
However, even with such a strong belief, it was difficult for his powerless body to continue supporting itself. After saying this, the Elf's Godcraftsman could no longer hold on and collapsed. If he had not leaned on Mozo, he would have most likely fallen to the ground.
Looking at the elf in front of him, Mozo hesitated for a moment, and then, in the other's extremely angry but also extremely weak eyes, he reached out to the top of the stone statue and took off the crown.
However, even so, the shining patterns on the crown did not disappear, and the Golden Legion remained awake, frantically besieging Count Hahn, who was finding it increasingly difficult to survive, in the underground hall.
After the Elf Godsmith realized that he was indeed unable to stop the other party, the anger in his eyes completely dissipated and turned into pleading:
"Please, I really... please. Don't, don't blaspheme the king... Don't. And even if... I put it on, you can't stop it..."
Mozo felt a little uncomfortable, and after a long sigh, he put on the crown under the elf's angry gaze.
A miracle also happened at this moment.
The silver crown began to quickly turn into pure gold, and the emerald green pattern shone brighter and brighter.
The anger in the eyes of the Elf Master Craftsman gradually turned into confusion and puzzlement, and then into realization and fear.
Mozo felt his body lighten as the Elf Godsmith let go of his king. He then knelt on the ground devoutly and uttered his last words:
"Please forgive me and welcome back!"
Mozo squatted down and whispered to the dead master craftsman:
"I don't blame you."
Then he looked at the golden army at his feet and gave the king's order:
"Sleep! My warriors."
The next moment, in the underground hall, Count Hahn, who had already begun to manifest his mythical form, the Tree of Life, saw that the powerful legions that had climbed up the huge tree roots suddenly lost their power.
Then it turned back into its original metal dome. Through the gaps in the metal, one could see the scarlet light representing power inside gradually dissipating and cooling.
Upon seeing this, Count Hahn observed for a moment, then in confusion he dispersed his mythical form and transformed back into a human being from a giant tree that was about to rise from the ground.
Just as the man in black robe said, he was forced into a dilemma by the Golden Legion. After falling countless times, the Golden Legion, which represented the highest level of elven engineering technology, finally evolved the ability to kill him.
Faced with such an immortal and powerful enemy, Count Hahn could only grit his teeth and activate his mythical form to try and stop these legions underground.
At least in this way, it could be barely explained as an earthquake, and these terrible legions would not rush to the ground and start slaughtering.
But what Count Hahn could not understand was why these legions suddenly stopped at the last moment
After a brief moment of doubt, Count Hahn took out Judas's silver coin again. Unlike the last time, this time he did not use it immediately, but dripped a drop of his own blood.
This is the activation condition for Seal 1-141, Judas' Silver Coin - a drop of high-sequence blood. The higher the sequence, the more times a drop can be used.
I had used up all my chances last time, so I have to do it again this time.
As for the Golden Legion, it can only be said that the cost of activation had already been paid in the era when they were forged. Otherwise, the real Mozo would not be able to pay the cost of activating Sequence 2.
This time, after hundreds of silver coins were thrown into the air, two silver coins fell down again. One of them was the silver coin representing mankind, and the other was the Twin Sacred Trees silver coin that had fallen once before.
A human being prevented this disaster? And it was related to the Two Sacred Trees? ?
Looking at the vague revelation, Count Hahn speculated and came to this conclusion.
The advantage of Judah's silver coin is that even the true God cannot interfere with its divination, but its disadvantage is that it is too vague.

In the city of Cromwell above the ground, due to the fight between Earl Hahn, continuous earthquakes occurred. Therefore, even the residents in the old city rushed out of their homes regardless of the ban.
Then, under the gunpoint of the soldiers, who were somewhat at a loss, they watched their homes shaking in fear. Because of the continuous earthquakes, the soldiers did not force the residents to comply with the ban.
Instead, after a brief hesitation, they took them to an open space. At the same time, near the outside of the city, there were troops under the command of their commanders guiding civilians to seek refuge outside the city.
In this panic, some residents were surprised to find that although it was night time, the flowers in the flower beds and along the streets were blooming abnormally!
Even some flowers that normally bloom in other seasons grow quickly and then bloom.
Such a strange scene attracted the astonishment of countless residents even during the earthquake. Especially after Count Hahn stopped, because there were no more earthquakes, the residents discussed the abnormally blooming flowers with more surprise.
But because it wasn't something as shocking as the Golden Army charging into the streets, this kind of discussion was more about the residents' confusion and surprise rather than questioning whether their world was fake.
Especially after several prestigious professors came forward and jointly claimed with the authorities that this was just a normal phenomenon caused by the earthquake, no one doubted that this was an extraordinary power.

In the circular room before, after Mozo gave the order to sleep, he took off the crown. As Mozo moved, the crown, which turned from silver to pure gold, gradually lost its golden glow and began to turn as pale as stone.
Looking at the pale crown, Mozo put it back on the stone statue without any reluctance, and then walked towards the girl who was sleeping against the wall.
It was not until this time that Mozo was surprised to find that the girl was actually Windsor from the flower garden.
Catherine Windsor. The only daughter of the Grand Duke of Windsor. And if supernatural powers really exist.
Then, Mozo doubted that this Duke of Windsor was the same Duke of Windsor from three hundred years ago. Even if he was not, he was probably still alive.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Grand Duke of Windsor was the most determined leader of the anti-Cromwell faction in the imperial political arena at that time. He was also the most determined leader of the royalist party.
Based on these two points, the Grand Duke of Windsor should be the most powerful nobleman in the empire today except for the Queen.
