Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"The goddess of the lake, I've heard of her every time I pass through the Carcassonne coast, a god of men... but I've never really heard of her before."

Alisara frowned slightly. She was also a genius and considered herself to be well-read and knowledgeable, but she had never seen the worship of the goddess of the lake in human territories outside of Bretonnia.

There isn't even a similar record of different titles for the same god!

If it weren't for the fact that the entire Bretonnia community worshipped the goddess of the lake, Alisara would have thought this was just a fabricated story.

"I don't know either, but she definitely has her own plans, and they're the opposite of ours."

Ye Ming was very unhappy and once wanted to expose the identity of the goddess of the lake, but he did not have the status or position to do so. Even if he told Alisara, Alisara might not believe him.

After all—Lilith is the Elf Goddess, and even if she's a female relative, she's still the Elf's own goddess, isn't she...?

Seeing her lover's gloomy face, Alisara took Ye Ming's hand and smiled, "I support you, what do you want?"

"I don't care. Is it about cutting down a god? I hope she can kill me," Gotrek said indifferently.

"Alright, my two good friends have spoken, so I have no objection. It would be great if I could publish a book about the war of gods." Felix shrugged and placed his hand under Ye Ming's hand.

"Alright, let's go all out!"

Ye Ming laughed and said, "The dragon prince of Zhen Dan and I foresaw the future of chaos and destruction, which is why I want to unite all forces as much as possible."

"I came with absolute goodwill, and the fact that the goddess of Bretonnia is targeting me can only mean that she either comes from Chaos or that she has different ideas from us in some aspects of her plans."

"From this moment forward, she will be our enemy, and indeed, the enemy of half of China!"

Ye Ming took out a map and drew a large circle around Mu Xilong's location, emphasizing it. "This is the place we need to take next!"

"A place occupied by vampires, once we take it over, we will have natural terrain barriers and a strong fortress."

"From here on, whether we hire elf mercenaries or mercenaries from the Divine Lands and the Empire, we'll have plenty of time to develop!"

"Hmm, that's a good idea, but they're hiding in the fortress, so how are we going to find them?" Alisara asked.

"Crackling sound..."

As Alisara asked the question, the carriage shook violently. It was Beltley, struggling intensely!

Ye Ming lifted the carriage curtain and removed the seal from Bertley's mouth.

The moment the seal was broken, Bertley cried out, "Merovingian! Merovingian is deep within his fortress; he controls the entire undead army!"

"Kill him! Killing him will wipe out all undead!"

Bertley's eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, clearly showing that he harbored great hatred for Merovingian.

"It looks like we'll have a brand new ally," Ye Ming said, looking at Bertley. "I'll temporarily release some of your seals, make sure you remember your memories, constantly recall the bond between you and your brothers, and go through all the beautiful memories in your heart. You must control your impulses."

"If you can block the first time, the second time will be much easier."

Bertley nodded indifferently upon hearing this, but those present were not ordinary people, and they could all see the rapid breathing in his nose.

Clearly, his thirst for blood has flared up!

Whether he can break free from his constraints and "come back to life" depends on the strength of his will!

"We're heading back soon. Do you want to go to the shore and send a message to Lorthern? I can call in one of my private armies."

"It's not feasible yet. If we do that, those followers of Slaanesh will definitely know our whereabouts, and then we'll be attacked from both sides."

Ye Ming said with a smile, "I had already made preparations before setting off."

Ye Ming pointed to the map, "We're going to Aquilon. There's a caravan from Lor'then heading to Tyrell. I've already arranged with them that an expeditionary force will come to our aid."

"If we go within ten days, the expeditionary force will disembark; if we don't go, they will return to China."

Alisara and Felix realized what Ye Ming meant and expressed their admiration for his foresight.

Only Gao Cuike, after taking a sip of his drink, pursed his lips and said, "You think so much, aren't you tired?"

"It must be tiring. If I could, I would prefer to be a spoiled brat in my own territory, but Chaos and those enemies won't give me that chance."

Ye Ming shrugged. If it weren't for Chaos and those wars, he really would have chosen to live a carefree and dissolute life.

"really."

Gotrick remained silent as he spoke, and Felix patted him on the shoulder when he saw this.

Ye Ming knew what was going on, so he directly changed the subject, "Let's go, walk along the shore, our boat is still there."

Ye Ming and his group set off, and the carriage sped along the road.

As Ye Ming and the others rushed to the shore, a black figure stood in the woods, silently following behind them.

Duke Merovingian had already noticed this when Bertley was imprisoned by Ye Ming.

He had been secretly watching Ye Ming and the others for a long time. He didn't make a move when he saw Ye Ming and the others heading towards Awatu, but when he saw Ye Ming and the others return and learned about the oracle, he decided to intercept and kill Ye Ming and the others in advance!

If given the chance, he would personally turn Ye Ming and the others into his blood servants!

"Go, my children, kill them," Duke Merovingian said coldly.

He emerged from the shadows, clad in armor and a helmet, with two swords at his waist, like a valiant knight.

Just by standing there, he exudes an aura that can overwhelm anything!

He wore an old-fashioned suit of armor made of almost entirely black steel, with grooves on the surface and serrated barbs along the edges. His helmet was shaped like a roaring dragon, which perfectly complemented the pair of evil swords engraved with dark runes.

He wore no elaborate heraldic patterns, only a simple black lily, which was the ancient symbol of Musilon.

For centuries after his resurrection, Merovingian never carried a shield; he used only his twin swords, which were enough to crush any knight who dared to fight him.

The same is true now.

After he came out, a black warhorse slowly approached.

Merovingian stroked his warhorse, which had become an undead creature, then mounted it and led the army that had gathered from the forest toward the shore.

"Wait a moment."

On the other side, as they entered the border of the Musilon region and were about to reach the area where they had landed, Gotrek spoke again, turning back warily to look at the forest they had just emerged from not far away.

"Again?" Ye Ming asked.

"Yes, and even more powerful, a powerful vampire," Gotrek exclaimed excitedly. "He's mine now!"

No sooner had Gao Cuike finished speaking than a massive undead legion surged out from the forest and distant hills, surrounding Ye Ming and the others in an arc-shaped formation.

Leading the charge were spear-wielding skeletons, zombies, and dire wolves, while ferocious bats swirled in the air, blotting out the sky. Behind them, one could vaguely see a large number of tomb ghouls, a few tomb demons, and armored grave guards.

In the distance, you can still vaguely see a few bloodthirsty celestial demons and bloodthirsty bat wolves!

There was even a group of about thirty Blood Knights on the hill, who were Merovingian's absolute trump card!

"I'll help you too."

Bertley's voice came through; he had temporarily suppressed his thirst and was now recalling the moments before his falling out with his brother.

His break with his brother Carradi was entirely orchestrated by Merovingian.

Now, upon careful recollection of the details, the clues naturally emerge: the original resentment towards Calard was transferred entirely to Merovingian.

"Very well, five men against an army, I don't know what we were thinking," Felix said helplessly, but he obediently drew his sword and stood at the front with Gotrick.

"Hohoho, I can kill them all by myself!" Gotr exclaimed excitedly.

Ye Ming released Beltrelli's seal and said, "I know about the feud between you and your brother. This was indeed Merovingian's doing. He caused your falling out. Now you have a chance for revenge. I hope you make the right choice."

Ye Ming returned Beltley's sword to him.

Bertley's story is interspersed between the stories of Calade and Merovingian; he is also a tragic character, like his brother Calade.

He broke with Calard because of Merovingian's scheme, and then voluntarily accepted Merovingian's training and the blood kiss.

Strictly speaking, he was not innocent, but he lost some memories, and his personality was amplified by the vampire's curse. Coupled with Merovingian's inducement, this is the truth and reason for his fall!

He still has a chance to atone for his sins!

Bertley gripped his sword. He glanced at Ye Ming, then at the figure that had appeared at the edge of the forest, riding a warhorse in silence.

Finally, he chose to put on the helmet and stand next to Gotrek and Felix.

Moreover, he maintained a safe distance, which allowed him to provide timely support to the two while ensuring that he would not defect immediately and would not leave the four people's sight.

This was his answer.

Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction, then drew out the Rhythm and began to compose advanced magic.

Alisara stood guard beside him, silently chanting blessings.

"attack."

Merovingian saw Bertley's choice, but showed no remorse for betraying his champion, simply issuing the order indifferently.

Thousands of zombies and skeletons advanced, while dire wolves ran back and forth twice. The tomb ghouls and tomb demons moved slowly, but gradually approached the blind spot, compressing the space for Ye Ming and the others to move.

Meanwhile, the ferocious bats had already swooped down, a massive swarm of vampire bats attempting to disrupt Ye Ming and the others' formation.

But in the face of such an attack, Ye Ming merely waved his sword indifferently—

"Apocalyptic Flames!"

Red Wind Aksha responded to Ye Ming's call, and a visible red demonic wind gathered and roared between heaven and earth.

As Ye Ming wielded his weapon rhythmically, the demonic wind gathered into magical power, surging into Ye Ming's body, and then being released again according to his arrangement.

A terrifying, towering inferno erupted, instantly engulfing vast swathes of land.

The entire battlefield was engulfed in flames. The zombies and skeletons that were originally advancing normally began to disintegrate under the scorching flames, turning into ashes and disappearing.

The dire wolves themselves were rotting, dead flesh, covered in corpse oil, and would ignite at the slightest touch, becoming walking flame spreaders that carried the flames throughout the entire army.

Doomsday Flames is one of Crimson Wind's ultimate moves, a powerful spell that is rare even among elemental magic.

In a normal combat situation, this will attract the attention of all mages and "firefighters" within an eight-kilometer radius. If they are your teammates, they will help you, but if they are your enemies, sorry, they are the firefighters and will do everything they can to stop you!

However, Ye Ming's demonic sword, blessed by the eight winds, was able to conceal the pre-release fluctuations, completing everything in the shadows.

Furthermore, when expounding the Dharma, Ye Ming is able to release it without incantation, or release it without being in sync with his thoughts and words.

When he cast the spell, even Alisara thought it was a regular fireball spell, since the amount of magical wind gathered was very small and the incantation was very fast.

But who could have imagined that the moment the magic landed, it would turn into a terrifying nuclear bomb, blowing the entire battlefield to smithereens!

"Damn it, how am I supposed to kill them like this!" Gotrek saw the change on the battlefield. The once menacing undead army was quickly wiped out by a fire, and in the blink of an eye, only the tomb demons, celestial demons, bat wolves, and blood knights remained.

Those small monsters and tomb ghouls had no chance of escaping; Ye Ming wiped them out with a single burst of fire!

"No need to waste time with these scum, charge in and grab Merovingian!"

After Ye Ming finished casting the spell, he cast Enlightenment on Gotr and Felix, and several Shadow and Necromantic spells on Bertley that increased speed, attack, and defense.

The moment the Enlightenment spell was cast, it was as if everyone had activated a map with full cheat codes. Merovingian, who was hiding at the edge of the forest, was completely exposed to them, and even the Blood Knight, who was moving because of the fire, was seen by them.

Ye Ming drew his sword, and fireballs flew out, igniting all the ferocious bats and driving away the approaching bloodthirsty demons.

Gotrick, Felix, and Beltley charged toward Merovingian without hesitation.

"They're very strong." Merovingian looked at Ye Ming in the distance and ordered the Bloodthirsty Bat Wolves, Bloodthirsty Sky Demons, and Blood Knights to surround and attack Ye Ming and his companion.

He himself drew his twin swords and charged towards Gotr and the others in front of him.

He was unaware of Gotr's strength, nor did he know that his championship had already been defeated by Gotr once.

In his view, Bertley was captured because of the mage Ye Ming. As long as the mage was stopped, what use were a dwarf and a human?

Yes, he didn't even include Beltley!

Since all of Bertley's martial arts skills were taught by him, defeating this disciple couldn't be easier!

"Be careful!"
