Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 352 The Emperor Has Fallen.

The moment the battle ended, the divine spark formed from the power of faith vanished. The belated exhaustion crushed Li En like an avalanche. His body seemed to have all its strength drained away in an instant. His steps were unsteady, and he collapsed to the ground, his breathing heavy like a broken bellows, each breath accompanied by a burning pain.

This is only a side effect of borrowing half of Soraya's power. If Soraya were to borrow all of her power and merge with him, Li En would inevitably die again.

However, the "Resurrection" entry in his item shop has been refreshed, which means that if he dies again, he will not be able to revive.

That's why Soraya chose to divide her power in two and lend it to two different people.

Let Nancy and Lee share this pressure.

With the disappearance of the maze, under Nancy's leadership, the Revolutionary Army quickly routed the remnants of the Imperial Army, who fled in disarray.

"We won! We won!!!"

"Lord Li En has defeated the legendary knight Seth Frank! Long live Lord Li En!!!"

"We defeated the Imperial army! We won!!!"

"Long live Lord Li En! Long live Lady Nancy! Long live the Golden Goddess!"

"Praise be to the goddess, praise be to the son of God, praise be to Lady Nancy!"

"Waaaaah, we won! We finally won!"

The soldiers shed tears of emotion; this battle had been incredibly difficult.

The cheers of victory swept in like a tidal wave, covering the entire Gaojunling.

The setting sun, like blood, dyed the broken walls of the Gaoling Army a crimson gold, and the tattered banners on the city tower fluttered in the wind.

Smiles finally broke through the blood-stained faces of the revolutionaries. Some collapsed to their knees on the bluestone slabs, their trembling fingers tracing the cold arrow wounds; others clutched their broken spears, hoarse sobs escaping their throats.

The moat reflected the burning enemy camp, with corpses and broken armor floating in the dark red water.

Freddy, a young member of the Knights of Dawn, stumbled toward the ramparts, half his body leaning over the wall, letting out a dissonant roar at the open field. His roar, mixed in with the surging crowd, was like a grain of sand falling into a raging torrent, but it startled the gray pigeons perched on the eaves.

A rusty chainmail lay across the stone steps, blood seeping into the cracks between the plates.

Cobb kicked away the chipped sword, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"We have defeated Seth Frank! We have defeated the legendary knight of the Empire!!!"

Even though the losses in this battle were heavy, it was enough for soldiers like Cobb to boast about for the rest of their lives.

Because they defeated the seemingly invincible legendary knight, no less than if they had personally defeated the legendary witch Dorothy.

Simon and Sally embraced tightly, their love story unfolding like a beautiful painting in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The single guards around them were filled with envy; they also missed home, their mothers, and their sisters.

But what they envied even more was their leader, Lyon Moria.

To replenish Lee Eun's energy, Nancy kissed Lee Eun in public.

In this way, Li En regained his spirits.

In the eyes of the guards, Nancy's charm was in no way inferior to Dorothy's.

Nancy's long, light blue hair swayed in the wind, her thick eyelashes cast a shadow, and dried tears lingered on her exquisite face. No words in the world could describe her beauty.

When she lowered her head to kiss Lee Eun, it seemed as if the whole world stood still.

In the hearts of the guards, this was such a sacred scene.

Like a goddess kissing a god.

A guard who was skilled in painting recalled the incident and painted the scene as "The Mermaid Kissing the Son of God." After his discharge from the army, he became a famous painter because of this painting. After several changes of ownership, the painting ended up in the hands of Catherine, the ruler of the South, who tore it up herself, becoming a great regret in the art world.

As soon as Li En's spirits recovered, he felt a force that did not belong to him invading his body.

This power did not come from Nancy, nor from Soraya.

Li En discovered that she had an additional negative red entry.

[Knight Parasite] The legendary knight's remaining soul, after his defeat, continues to reside in a body. He has chosen you as his host. His consciousness will awaken within you within one to ten years, at which point he will replace your soul, transforming you into the new Seth Frank. Before his awakening, you can use his power.

Oh? Is this the legendary knight's last resort?
No wonder Seth Frank is so arrogant; he no longer considers himself human.

Li En didn't rush to remove the parasitic entry because he discovered that he could now use Seth Frank's labyrinth power.

It will take Seth Frank 1 to 10 years for his consciousness to awaken.

At that time, either he himself became a god and saved the world.

They either destroy themselves and the world, or they don't care about parasitism at all.

In short, the benefits of this red tag outweigh the drawbacks. Seth Frank can be used directly as a maze skill. After all, he is currently unconscious, and there is no need to worry about him gnawing away at his brain like a parasite.

News of the victory reached Spade Territory, and everyone was overjoyed.

The streets were packed with onlookers, who, like fanatics, were shouting Li En's name.
"Great Son of God, your glory will surely shine upon this continent."

"Lord Li En has made history."

Fern O'Neill, accompanied by a group of nobles, greeted Li En. They were all incredibly grateful that they had followed Lord Fern O'Neill's decision to follow Li En.

"We should hold a grand banquet to celebrate this victory."

"Yes, with Seth Frank's death, the Frank family's walls collapsed."

"We will take Yalong City very soon."

They discussed it excitedly, but Li En was slow to return with his victorious army.

The army sounded the battle horn once again.

Having recovered his spirits, Lee En had no intention of giving the Frank family a chance to catch their breath.

He intends to lead this army to directly breach the high walls of Yalong City!
The revolutionary army's morale was higher than ever before. They had just defeated an invincible enemy and were filled with confidence that would enable them to overcome themselves and break through their limits.

The dark, massive legion surged toward Yalong City like a tidal wave, the thunderous sound of their iron boots shaking the earth.

The bugle call from the city wall ripped through the sky, a hoarse melody, like the final roar of a dying dragon. The defenders on the city wall watched this scene with utter terror, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The high walls of Yalong City have stood for 500 years, and in those 500 years, no enemy has ever been able to set foot here.

Now, that young Moriah scion, Lyon Moriah, is leading a large army to invade.

What does this mean? It means that Seth Frank, the legendary knight sent to defend against Lyon Moria, has been defeated.

"Lord Seth lost? How could Lord Seth lose?"

"We've lost. Our legendary knight has been defeated."

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"

Amidst roars, archers drew their bows, and javelin throwers rubbed their spears.

A group of defeated imperial soldiers appeared beneath the high walls, pounding on the city gates.

"Let us in quickly! We are Imperial Army soldiers!"

"Damn it, there are so many revolutionary soldiers following you, we can't open the door for you!"

The general guarding the high wall roared, "Who can guarantee that there aren't spies among you?"

"Damn it! Open the city gates immediately! We have an urgent battle report!!!"

The retreating Imperial Army leader shouted loudly.

After a few seconds of contemplation, fearing punishment for missing the battle report, the commander of the high walls ordered the guards to open the small gate on the left. However, he only allowed a small group of about 20 men to enter the city before urgently closing the gate and keeping the rest of the fleeing troops out.

The 20-man squad rode at full speed towards the palace.

The news finally reached Emperor Augulas' ears half an hour later.

"What? Uncle Seth lost? How is that possible?"

In the study, Augulas felt dizzy and couldn't believe that his uncle Seth Frank had failed.

He is the Empire's only legendary knight, the Frank family's strongest fighting force, and the family's highest pillar!
How could he possibly collapse? How could he possibly fail? How could he possibly be killed by Lyon Moria?
"Say it again! Say it again!"

Augulas' forehead veins bulged as he roared angrily.

The kneeling general repeated tremblingly, "We lost. Lyon Moria breached Lord Seth's labyrinth. Although we didn't see Lord Seth's body, but... however, Lord Seth has most likely died for his country."

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!! Useless idiots, you didn't even see Uncle Seth's body, how can you be so sure he's dead?"

For a knight, having their domain broken means they will most likely die in battle.

Augulas understood this, but he refused to believe it.

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to deal with the revolutionary army led by Rean Moria, who have now advanced to Arron City!"

"This was said by the new Prime Minister of the Empire, Duke Burke."

"Even Uncle Seth has lost, what else can I do?"

At this moment, Augulas was like a soulless shell, sitting in his seat in despair. Was he going to become the last emperor of the Frank family? No, he must not give up until the very last moment.

Augulas stood up and looked at Duke Burke.

"Prime Minister, please stop the rebels for me. I'm going to the Wise Man's Abode right now."

“Very well, the Burke family is willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor to the death.”

Duke Burke turned and left, leading the Burke family's elite knights, preparing to leave the castle and confront Lyon Moria and the rebels at the high walls.

But he had only just reached the end of the castle when he saw the messenger rushing towards him.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, something terrible has happened! Lee En Moriah has breached the walls! He's attacking, he's broken through!"

"What did you say? The high walls have been breached? Aren't they protected by puppets?"

"Yes, yes, but the other side... the other side has goddesses, oh no, angels, and siren!"

The messenger spoke with a sob in his voice.

The people of Yalong City will never forget this day.

The high walls of Arron collapsed with a roar, and Lyon Moria, along with angels and sirens, stormed into the city. The revolutionary army's iron hooves swept across Arron, chasing the Imperial army into a rout.

On this day, the imperial soldiers seemed to have lost their backbone, knowing only how to run for their lives.

On this day, the Holy Empire's 500-year glory came to an end, and the revolutionary army surrounded the emperor's castle.

On this day, the fame of the Son of God, Lyon Moria, once again spread throughout the entire empire, and no one dared to disregard his majesty.

When Duke Burke led his elite knights and castle garrison out of the castle to confront Lyon Moria, he witnessed a scene that was utterly astonishing.

The people of Arron knelt on the ground, their former pride gone, worshipping with utmost devotion as if they had seen the true god Tiger.

To the left of Lien Moria stands Soraya, an angel with wings on her back. She is the goddess of gold, bringing luck and wealth to people.

Standing on the right is Nancy Stuart, a siren with mermaid blood. Illusory seawater surges beneath her fishtail, bringing disaster and misfortune to mankind.

Behind Lien Moria, a massive golden divine phantom materialized, exuding supreme divine power that sent chills down one's spine with just a glance.

Behind Lien Moria was a well-organized revolutionary army, each of them radiating confidence and justice.

At that moment, Duke Burke knew he had lost.

But he refused to bow to fate.

"Everyone, defend the palace to the death! House Burke, never back down!!!"

Remus Burke led the Eagle Knights and the Fire Shield Knights in a desperate defense of the royal palace, regarding Li En as his greatest rival in life.

60-year-old Bok felt as if he had suddenly rediscovered his youth and the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.

He was willing to die with the Burke family's glory, to fall before God, rather than to grovel and regret his choice.

The Burke family's motto: Never back down!
He defended his beliefs with his life.

When Li En's sword pierced his throat, old Burke showed no regret or remorse; his life had come to a glorious end.

“I lost, but not to you, but to fate. I got everything I wanted, but fate took it away. We are all just pawns played by fate.”

Remus Burke and his 300 knights all perished in battle; they were both respectable adversaries and irreconcilable enemies.

Having defeated the Eagle Knights and the Fire Shield Knights, Li En's army marched almost unimpeded into the palace.

Before Auguras could find the elders of the House of Wise Men, he first saw the familiar face of Lyon Moria.

“Lyon Moria, I never expected you to stand before me.”

Augulas smiled wryly.

"Augulas, you've lost."

Li En said lightly.

"Yes, I admit it now. You are the chosen one, you are a follower of the god Tiger, and I am the poor wretch abandoned by the god. So what are you going to do now? Kill me?"

Auglas asked.

"I think you might want to choose a more dignified way."

When Li En left Auguras's study, there was only a cold corpse lying inside.

The young emperor ended his brilliant but short life with his own sword; Augulas committed suicide.

Compared to a public trial and being sent to the guillotine, Augulas felt this was the most dignified way for him to die.

He hated Lee En for taking away everything he cherished.

I also thank Lee En for letting him choose the way he died.

The youngest emperor in the empire's history thus perished.

This marked the end of the Frank family's 500-year rule over the Holy Empire.

　Happy Labor Day everyone! Laborers are the most glorious!
