She knew that even if she added hundreds or thousands of others like him, it would only increase the number of times Bai Zhe swung his sword, but would not change the outcome.

But that's exactly what she wanted: to prolong her fight with Bai Zhe, so she could learn from his swordsmanship and make up for her own weaknesses.

Upon hearing this, the blonde princess immediately tossed a strand of hair across her face, picked up the greatsword she had just put down, slung it over her shoulder, and responded to Bai Zhe with considerable domineering confidence:

"Of course, I'm not the only one. Since Eusula and Luculezia are your opponents in the room, I suppose you wouldn't mind if they became your opponents here and joined forces with me to fight against the enemy, right?"

Although Veronica's behavior was very self-centered, Eusula and Luculezia did not intend it.

Both of them became interested in Bai Zhe's swordsmanship after hearing Veronica's words.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe left his seat. Since the Holy Knight Balmonk had given Edelweiss for self-defense, he disliked the Star Sword for containing the consciousness of the Wise Dragon King. Therefore, the Demon King was now without a sword to use.

But soon Bai Zhe used earth magic to summon bronze from the ground, forged it into a sword, and then waved it in mid-air, saying to the three battle-ready Veronica and her companions:

"Alright, it's been a while since I've used a sword. Before this sword breaks, you'd better let me have a good workout."

Then, the cold glint of sword light flashed again in the palace garden, countless petals were swept away and scattered by the wind sword, and four figures were intertwined in the midst of it.

Of the three, Veronica and Luculezia both used greatswords, so their swordsmanship was similar. Veronica took the lead in attacking while Luculezia followed up, thus distracting Bai Zhe's vision. Then, Yusula, who used a broadsword, launched an attack with her agile swordsmanship.

This piqued the Demon King's interest.

As the sword techniques, characterized by extreme movement and stillness, were gradually unleashed, the three were quickly defeated.

Lucrezia was almost sent flying into a small lake by Bai Zhe's sword, but fortunately the Demon King reacted quickly and grabbed the girl's waist, thus preventing her from becoming a drowned rat.

Although Veronica forcibly dragged Bai Zhe to bed on her first day in the Knight Kingdom, she didn't have much intimate contact with him in the following days.

So now, being held in the Demon King's arms, feeling the warmth emanating from him, and smelling his masculine scent, she felt shy instead. Her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up at Bai Zhe.

However, Bai Zhe's attention was entirely focused on the longsword in his hand at that moment.

After numerous strikes, the bronze sword, forged by magic, finally turned to dust in his hands.

However, since this was just a casual forging, and the power of steel was not even used, Bai Zhe did not feel any heartache.

Seeing the powder scattered on the ground, Bai Zhe then turned his gaze to Luculezia, released the girl's slender waist, and asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"

"No, it's okay..."

Upon hearing this, the girl with light green hair simply lowered her head and shook it, but the way she gripped the magic sword tightly in her hand revealed her true feelings.

Although Bai Zhe was the culprit who almost destroyed the entire imperial family, Veronica did not rashly attack the empire's civilians during the attack, so there were no major casualties.

Furthermore, she was already very dissatisfied with the royal family's repeated use of technology obtained from ancient relics to conduct large-scale human experiments in recent years, so she didn't have much of a grudge against Veronica for killing the royal family.

This situation has led to Luculezia having very strange feelings towards Bai Zhe.

She didn't know how to face the man who had taken her virginity on their very first meeting!

Just then, Veronica, who had noticed the commotion, suddenly spoke in Chinese.

"It seems you and the Fifth Princess have a pretty good relationship~?"

"so so."

However, as soon as Bai Zhe finished speaking, Lucrezia felt something was off. She wanted to refute Bai Zhe's statement, but for a moment she didn't know what kind of identity to use to refute it.

Just then, Rebecca arrived with hurried steps, bringing a distress message from Francesca, who was far away in the United City.

As a businesswoman, she should have gradually taken control of the entire United City.

However, due to Bai Zhe's orders, she was somewhat too hasty, to the point that when she targeted the prestigious Scarati family of the eastern urban cluster of Loflock, her connection to...

Demiurge's relationship with the Church has drawn a wrath from the Papacy!

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Sacred Flame Will Purify Everything! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

Loflock, a city of industry and commerce, is the most economically prosperous place on the continent. By dominating the economy of the entire continent, it is able to rival some of the major powers.

Ultimately, it is just a united city established by several large families for common interests. Once a conflict of interest arises within this alliance, it will definitely be one of the fastest-disintegrating forces on this continent!

As is the case now, Francesca, as the head of the United City, launched a series of plans that would normally take several years to implement after returning from Demiurge. She began to consolidate power in a sweeping manner, taking the keys from each family and opening the United City's greatest treasure trove.

Only by uniting the cities together and being crowned king can one obtain the Star Crown Sanhawas!

Because of Francesca's usual ruthless methods, she quickly seized control of the western part of the city, but when she tried to extend her power to the east, she encountered unusually strong resistance.

After learning that she had completely conquered the west, the major powers in the east gradually formed an incredibly powerful united front to resist her offensive.

Because the battle lines were stretched out, signs of rebellion emerged in the western United City, which was originally ruled by Francesca!

Due to the urgency of the situation, she had no choice but to seek help from Anne 690 Groot, who had seized imperial power, and used Kira's unfinished potion to transform the rebels in the West into non-human, non-dragon monsters.

But it was precisely because of this that she exposed her relationship with Demiurge, allowing the Eastern Union to successfully seek help from the Theocracy!

This caused the landscape of the United City to be changed all at once.

With the intervention of the Papacy, the Western Union led by Francesca began to be suppressed, and even the members of Demiurge could only barely put up a fight.

However, after figuring out the relationship between Demiurge and the Holy Grail Knights, the army of the Theocracy directly summoned a million believers under the slogan of eradicating heresy and is on its way to the United City, determined to crush the Holy Grail Knights here!

Francesca, who learned of this news through her spies, knew that even with her own strength and that of the Empire, and even with all the members of Demiurge's forces united, they would absolutely not be able to defeat the Holy Kingdom.

That's why she had no choice but to ask Bai Zhe for help.

That evening, a huge black shadow swept across the western city of Union, stirring up strong winds that sent dust, clothes, and trash flying everywhere.

But when the citizens looked up, all they saw was the enormous, bright moon in the sky!

Meanwhile, in the brightly lit, spacious, and magnificent Machabelli mansion, Francesca was discussing with the heads of various Western Allied families how to deal with the enemy in the main hall when she noticed a slight tremor in the room, as if she sensed something.

Both Anne Groot and Annie Groot, who were sitting to the side pondering their own thoughts, looked up and headed towards the door.

Sensing the drop of evil dragon blood within their bodies, which stirred their hearts, both knew that the owner of this blood had arrived.

However, the others present were unaware of this.

After the door was forcibly pushed open from the outside, three women and one man came into view.

The leader was naturally Bai Zhe. The Demon King's burning golden eyes shone especially brightly in the darkness, like an inextinguishable sun, drawing people in with its light and inspiring awe.

As for the three women, they are Mordred, the King of the Underworld; Linda, the descendant of the Holy Grail; and Eusula, one of the Seven Winged Generals who came as a guard.

The moment they saw the four people, the heads of the various families present became extremely vigilant.

"who?!!"

"Where are the guards? Where are they?!"

"A bunch of useless good-for-nothings, they've vanished at this crucial moment!!"

Seeing the displeasure gradually appear on the black-haired dragon girl's face due to the noise in the hall, Annegret, who had become the Empress of the Empire but had not yet ascended the throne, instantly turned cold and shouted at the various heads of the families present.

"Shut up! You idiots!!"

Immediately afterwards, Francesca also walked through the various family heads present, knelt on one knee before Bai Zhe, bowed her head, and said humbly:

"I apologize, Your Majesty, these people are unaware of your identity. Please forgive them."

At the same time, Annegret came to Francesca's side and did the same thing, offering her arrogance to the demon king in front of her.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe remained calm, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Get up."

After leading the three women to sit down in the hall, Bai Zhe asked Francesca, who was following behind him, "Tell me about the specific situation of the Eastern Union and the Theocracy?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Francesca respectfully responded and then told Bai Zhe everything she had learned from the spies about the Eastern Union and the movements of the Church's army of believers.

While Francesca was telling her story, Mordred led Linda around the hall, picking up and playing with anything that interested them before setting it aside.

The rude actions of the Western business owners present made them frown, because a large part of the things that the Dragon Girl threw on the ground were valuable antiques. It was a waste for Mordred to play with them like that!

However, upon seeing the head of state and the empress, who had previously been incredibly arrogant in their presence, become extremely humble before this suddenly appearing black-haired man, these people, being essentially businessmen and heads of various families, naturally dared not be overly deferential!

As for the last of the three women, Yousula, she stood beside Bai Zhe from the beginning, tightly gripping the long sword at her waist, looking as if she was waiting for Bai Zhe's orders at any time.

Shortly after, as Francesca finished speaking, Bai Zhe's gaze also turned to her with a deep look.

Is the information reliable?

"The reliability rate is 80%. Those scouts are all assassins I recruited from the slums. Their families are still in the Western Union."

As a businesswoman, Francesca naturally couldn't guarantee that the intelligence was 100% accurate, but an 80% or higher probability was enough for a businessman to make a profit!

"That's exactly what I was planning. After Aiko and Nabi hatch, I'll take a trip to the Theocracy."

"But I never expected that someone would bring me a pillow when I was sleepy."

"Linda, as a descendant of the Holy Grail, what do you think is the right way to deal with the Theocracy?"

"I think it would be fine as long as the Holy Kingdom stops hunting down the Grail bloodline."

Even though the innocent girl learned of the evils of the theocracy through her father, she still maintained her kindness and only wanted to punish the ringleaders.

"Then let's burn all the filth in the church to ashes."

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Dragon Emperor Appears! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

That night, Francesca and Annegret sacrificed themselves to appease the Demon King's rage.

Three days later, as the million-strong army of the Theocracy arrived in the Eastern United City, two giant eggs, each over fifty in size, appeared in the sky above the Western United City.

The giant egg bears two pairs of golden wing markings, the emblem of the Avalon royal family.

Immediately afterwards, with a soul-shaking roar, a gigantic gray dragon with two pairs of jet-black wings appeared before the giant egg.

Upon witnessing this scene, the envoy from the Holy Kingdom immediately turned a cold gaze toward Beatrice, the young head of the Scarati family and the representative of the Eastern City Union standing beside him.

"What is that thing? Why haven't we heard of it before we came here?!"

"Or is it that your eastern urban cluster of Loflock is trying to drag the Theocracy into this mess!"

However, the girl with twin ponytails looked completely bewildered when questioned by the envoy from the Holy Kingdom.

Previously, she only knew through a spy that a man and three women had come to the Machabeni family, but she could not find out any information about these four people.

It's obvious that she's a vicious woman who's kept all the news under wraps.

However, according to Beatrice's guess, the giant gray dragon and the two giant eggs in the western sky were probably created by these four people!

Therefore, to quell the anger of the theocratic envoy, the girl told him everything she knew and her guesses.

However, instead of calming the messenger's anger, she was met with even more rudeness and unreasonableness.

"Hmph, they can't even detect something like this. It seems that the prestigious Scarati family of United City is nothing special."

"Once this matter is over, I will report everything to the Holy See and strip the Scarati family of everything!"

The messenger's words made Beatrice grit her teeth, realizing that the Eastern Union's decision to seek help from the Holy Kingdom was a complete mistake.

Before you've driven away the jackals in your house, you've introduced an even more powerful and greedy tiger. This is tantamount to playing with fire!

However, because the other party still had the Papal Knights in the room, the girl didn't dare to make a scene. She could only turn to cleaning up the table after the other party left.

Beatrice felt a little better after smashing her beloved teacup. She then went to the window and placed her hand on the cold glass, looking at the dragon and two giant eggs in the sky above the Western Union. She had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Did i do something wrong?

Although Beatrice already regretted letting the Holy Kingdom get involved in this matter.

But the die was cast, and the situation was no longer in her control.

When the Holy Kingdom arrived yesterday, it completely seized control of the entire Eastern Union!

Tasting the bitterness of regret, she looked down at the soldiers hurrying by outside the window, but soon realized something was wrong.

Why are all the people below looking up at the western sky?

Beatrice, noticing this, immediately looked up and saw the outer shells of the two giant eggs beginning to peel off.

At the same time, whether it was the Western Union or the Eastern Union, the church bells rang simultaneously, their ancient yet majestic sound seeming to herald the birth of some great being.

Under the girl's gaze, a chaotic, undefined white mist emerged from the giant egg whose outer shell had completely detached.

Although they were far apart, the girl still vaguely saw two pairs of upside-down dragon eyes shining from the two clouds of mist.
