David flew out of the mainland of Dennis and checked the 'alchemy map' over the ocean. This 'alchemy map' was obtained from Dennis Castle.
His second target was the Cotton family of Job's fifth-level Templars. They were somewhat similar to the Dennis family. There was also a continent named after Cotton on the planet Kaia, which was the territory of the Cotton family on the planet Kaia.
Job's fifth-rank Templars were direct enemies involved in the attack, and David had no intention of letting the Cotton family go.
There are five continents on the planet Kaia. Except for the main continent, the other four continents are the territories of the families of the four fifth-level Templar knights of the power alliance. This is not a coincidence.
The territory of the Kaiya star was obtained by the four noble families by using the influence of the power alliance, and after countless years, they used various means to transfer the original nobles in their respective continents one by one. Drive away.
In the end, a noble family occupied a continent, which is a process that most ambitious noble families need to go through.
If noble families want to qualify as top nobles, they need to expand their territories.
The method of obtaining the territory can be exchanged for meritorious service to the temple, or purchased privately from other nobles.
The act of privately purchasing from other nobles is not supported by the temple, but if the territory is actually held by the purchaser for more than a few generations after the transaction, the temple will also acquiesce in the ownership of the territory.
Any disputes over territories will not be resolved in a short period of time. An aristocratic family does not have a few generations of prosperity, and it is impossible to stably own abnormally acquired territories.
The reason why the coalition of forces initially had an enmity with David, and the reason for targeting David, was because of the ownership of Gami Star.
Just think about how difficult it is for them to obtain full ownership of a continent, and you can imagine the attraction of Gami Star, which only has two usable continents, to them.
If it wasn't for the end of the time when the transformation of Gami Star was completed, Lord Gould of the Main family and Annabelle Templar of the Temple of War helped David obtain the ownership of the first and second continents. The face of the Temple of War was saved, and the meritorious service was replaced by the other four desert continents. It is very likely that part of Gami Star will be exchanged for meritorious service by the alliance of forces.
It's not just a coalition of forces, there are quite a few big nobles who are eyeing Gamixing.
It's just that the Annabella Templar came forward to help David. The temple doesn't care about these nobles who want to exchange territories. Annabelle Templar is an envoy of God, and he is also an envoy of God who is very concerned by the God of War. Whether in the Temple of War, or in the other several temples, no one would want to offend her.
The Annabelle Templars themselves did not have any demands for power, so it was rare to make a request, and of course the Temple would not refuse.
David saw the Coton Continent, he activated the 'Thunder Body', mobilized an electric-optical fusion from the 'Lightning Pattern', and sneaked into the Coton Continent in the state of electric light.
Unlike the Dennis family, the Cotton family's use of this continent is open, and the continent has a large population and many cities.
David's goal is very direct, which is the main castle of the Cotton family.
The alchemy map obtained from the Dennis family was very accurate, and David found Cotton Castle without any trouble.
Cotton Castle is also surrounded by cities, but this city is much larger than the city where the members of the Dennis family gather.
David still followed the previous method, using the talent ability of 'Underground Stealth' to approach Cotton Castle from the ground with the 'Body of Lightning'.
Then enter the castle through the shadow waiter to check and find out the body of Job's fifth-level Templar.
David was ten meters underground outside the castle, his mind entered the shadow waiter, and the shadow waiter passed through the outer wall of the castle and entered the castle.
He soon discovered that something was wrong, because there were no high-level knights in the castle, only servants and low-level knights, not to mention the aura of Job's fifth-level Templar himself.
Even David found the castle's treasury empty, all emptied.
He had never encountered such a situation before. The Cotton family actually evacuated the main castle, leaving only low-level knights and servants.
David didn't disturb the people in the castle, he left quietly, heading towards the Lyle Continent of the Lyle Family.
Afterwards, they went to the José Continent of the José family, and finally found that the main castles of these families were empty. Except for a few unimportant people, the powerful knights and important assets were all gone.
Just as David was running around several continents looking for targets, three fourth-level sky knights rode three lightning falcons to the sky above Dennis Castle.
The Lightning Falcon is similar to the Snow Falcon among the flying mounts, and even more precious than the Snow Falcon. It is one of the fastest flying mounts.
These three fourth-level sky knights belong to the Cotton family, the Lyle family, and the José family, and are the third of the four major nobles in the power alliance.
They were ordered to investigate, because they are the fastest of the family's fourth-level sky knights.
"It's so quiet!" the fourth-level sky knight of the Cotton family said softly.
The city, which was originally quite lively, is now dead silent, and corpses can be seen everywhere on the ground.
"It seems that that person has left!" The fourth-level sky knight of the Lyle family said with a sigh of relief.
They immediately set out to investigate after receiving the order, but they were always worried about whether they would meet Duke Arthur.
It was able to instantly kill August's fifth-level Templars, and they might not survive the encounter with Duke Arthur.
Along the way, although the three fourth-level sky knights were riding Lightning Falcons, they deliberately slowed down and delayed their arrival for a while.
"Let's go down!" the fourth-level sky knight of the José family said in a deep voice.
The three fourth-level sky knights descended. Although they had already guessed in their hearts, they still had ugly faces when they saw the situation on the ground.
All of them had seen dead people. Although there were a lot of corpses this time, this was not the main reason for his ugly face.
The reason for their ugly face is that it is caused by their enemies, and their family is likely to experience the same result.
From the city, they speeded up and headed towards Dennis Castle. When they saw Dennis Castle, they could hardly believe their eyes.
When they were in the sky, they could not notice the details of the castle, but when they got closer, they saw the details of the castle.
Is this still the castle that represents the glory of the Dennis family
All the sculptures representing glory outside the castle disappeared, and the pair of gates covered with alchemy patterns also disappeared.
Walking into the castle, the castle looks like it has not been decorated, with the original color of the rock exposed, showing the three fourth-level sky knights what happened to the castle.
"I want to report to the family!" The fourth-level sky knight of the Cotton family did not continue to check, he said impatiently.
The other two fourth-level sky knights also took out the contact circle from the space ring one after another, and they also need to report what happened here immediately.
The rumors were true. The Duke Arthur had the same personality as the legendary dragon. The three fourth-level sky knights who were so greedy had never seen the Duke before. The scene in front of them was beyond the limit of their imagination.
In a castle on Orb, the fifth-level Templar of Job, the fifth-level Templar of Armand, and the rare body of the fifth-level Templar of Anselm sat in the same meeting room.
According to the habit of the fifth-level Templar knights, it is rare for the main body to travel, but they are all forced to leave.
Upon his return, Job's fifth-level Templar met immediately with the energy clones of Armand's fifth-level Templar and Anselm's fifth-level Templar.
After learning that the August fifth-level Templar of the Dennis family had fallen, and was still killed in seconds, and could not even confess the complete last words clearly, Armand's fifth-level Templar and Anselm's fifth-level Templar did not agree. After hesitating, he immediately agreed to the proposal of Job's fifth-level Templar, and evacuated from the family's main castle.
This voluntary evacuation did not cause any substantial loss to the three noble families, but only lost some face.
But when they were given a choice between losing face and the whole family being massacred, they still chose to lose face.
The current situation is that Duke Arthur is in the dark, and they are in the light. Before knowing the actual strength of Duke Arthur, they cannot accurately judge and counterattack.
Therefore, the three fifth-level Templars were waiting for the investigation results of their own fourth-level sky knights. In order to obtain accurate information, they each dispatched the fastest fourth-level sky knights in their families.
Regarding the rise and fall of the family, the three fifth-level Templars needed the most authentic information, and they would trust 100% only the investigation results of their own fourth-level sky knights.
In fact, Armand's fifth-level Templar and Anselm's fifth-level Templar here have already regretted it.
They have no hatred with Duke Arthur. Even if the coalition of forces wants to target Duke Arthur, what they agree to is only through indirect means such as business and provocation, not to be directly against Duke Arthur.
Who knew that August's fifth-level Templar and Job's fifth-level Templar would take the initiative to attack, and the energy avatars of the two fifth-level Templars hadn't killed Duke Arthur yet, and August's fifth-level Templar The knight is dead.
However, Job's fifth-level Templar, who knew the truth and had important information, also thought carefully, and did not reveal the fact that Duke Arthur possessed the 'pregnant spar'.
This level of treasure, Job's fifth-level Templar and August's fifth-level Templar were prepared to monopolize it at the time. The two families cooperated, so it would be difficult to deal with a Sky Knight.
Until now, Job’s fifth-level Templar can’t say anything about it. Once he said it, he knew that he was doing it for the treasure, and he didn’t tell the Lyle family and the José family about the treasure. So many years of alliance Relationships are likely to fall apart.
This is something that Job's fifth-level Templars cannot accept. At this moment, the more power they have to deal with Duke Arthur, the more certain they will be of victory.
After August's fifth-level Templar was killed, Job's fifth-level Templar had long regarded Duke Arthur as an existence of the same level. Duke Arthur had the strength to kill a fifth-level Templar.
Job's fifth-level Templars did not have any confidence to use the strength of the Cotton family to fight against Duke Arthur. The only hope was to drag the Lyle family and the José family.
The three fifth-level Templars received reports from their respective fourth-level sky knights at the same time. After a while of inquiries, the contact circle was disconnected, and the entire meeting room fell into a deathly silence.
"The Dennis family, there are twenty fourth-level sky knights staying near the family castle alone?" Armand's fifth-level Templar broke the silence and asked in a deep voice.
It is said to be an inquiry, but in fact, the three of them are very clear about this kind of thing. After so many years of alliance relationship, it is not clear how much strength each family has.
"Job, tell me more about Duke Arthur's strength. Is he capable of killing August in an instant?" Anselm's fifth-level Templar asked Job's fifth-level Templar.
"Duke Arthur's strength exceeds the fourth-level sky knight, but he should not have reached the fifth level. If he can kill August in an instant, I don't believe it. He should have a helper!" Job fifth-level Templar Knight He shook his head and said.
He has been considering this issue, and the family's intelligence system has already started to act, and the movement of the fifth-level Templar Knight who has friendship with Duke Arthur is being verified.
It's just that it is difficult to investigate the whereabouts of the fifth-level Templars, especially Lord Gould of the Main family. Investigating such a top nobleman may cause trouble at any time.
The only investigation he can do on Lord Gould is to investigate the use of the portal to see if any Lord Gould has entered Caia during this period.
According to the news returned by the intelligence, there is no record of the entry of the fifth-level Templars through the portal, which makes Job very puzzled by the fifth-level Templars.
"Job, why did you and August decide to attack Duke Arthur? This is different from the original plan!" Armand's fifth-level Templar finally couldn't help asking.
"August and I met Duke Arthur who was acting alone outside the city. Under the circumstances at that time, it was the best choice to eliminate Duke Arthur at once!" Job's fifth-level Templar replied indifferently. road.
"But the fact is that your actions have given the Federation a powerful enemy!" Armand, a fifth-level Templar, was very dissatisfied with his answer, and retorted in a deep voice.
"I and August are all for the union!" Job's fifth-level Templar insisted.
"This is not the decision of the union, it is your private decision! Our plan is not to be directly hostile to Duke Arthur, and you have violated the plan!" Armand's fifth-level Templar reiterated.
"Amande, what do you mean by that?" Job asked, a fifth-level Templar who suddenly stood up.
"What I mean is very clear to you. The Federation did not agree with you to attack Duke Arthur. My family should not bear such danger!" Armand's fifth-level Templar also stood up and replied loudly.
After hearing the tragic situation of the Dennis family, Armand's fifth-level Templar thought of the future danger of his family, and was extremely dissatisfied with Job's fifth-level Templar.
Anselm's fifth-level Templar did not participate in the quarrel between the two fifth-level Templars. He just sat quietly with extremely cold eyes.
After many generations of power alliances, there is no previous unity at this time.
