Just as Bolt was about to charge, he noticed the alchemical explosives coming towards him, and his face suddenly changed.

More than ten minutes later, Bolt and the demon army left behind a large number of corpses and quickly retreated for a distance.

"Captain Bolt, we've suffered heavy casualties. We can't charge any further. How about a long-range bombing?"

Keane also knew that the casualties were serious, so he looked at Bolt seriously and asked directly with a serious tone.

"No, I can't let that guy Graf look down on me. Prepare to continue the charge."

Just when Bolt was about to speak, the city gate he had been longing for finally opened, and more than 500 paladins gathered together. This was also the last strength of the paladins.

"For the goddess, for the Seven Shields, we must win. I order the charge now."

Claudia said seriously and began to order all the paladins to continue attacking Bolt.

Seeing Claudia's courage to go all out, Bolt's face turned green. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him was so stubborn, which made him feel very bad.

"What should we do? Captain Bolt, that guy is crazy. He actually wants to fight to the death with us. We are in trouble now. And these guys are quite powerful."

When Keane saw this scene, his expression changed, and it could be said that he was in a bad mood.

"Don't be afraid of them continuing to charge. They only have so many people in the Knights Order. Even if they want to capture us, they won't be able to do it."

Bolt glanced ahead seriously, a look of seriousness on his face.

Soon, the two sides began a head-on confrontation, but it must be said that the Paladin in desperate situation has an extremely strong burst of power.

After a charge, Bolt and his men were directly dispersed.

Claudia took advantage of the situation and killed a lot of people. When she was about to capture Bolt, an unexpected situation happened. A group of armored paladins appeared in the distance.

The leader was the bald General Graf. When Claudia saw the scene in front of her, she didn't think that these people were here to help them. Instead, she showed a hint of solemnity, and didn't think that they were still friends now.

After all, after Graf chose to betray, almost all members of the Seven Shields Alliance were filled with despair, which was also a very big blow.

-------------------------------------------------- -

"Long time no see, Claudia. You've worked hard! You've fought till now. I wonder what surrender means. You've done what you should do. You've fully fulfilled your knightly duties. Now it's no longer your responsibility."

After seeing the scene in front of her, Claudia said seriously that this feeling was quite good.

"Father, why are you doing this? Have you completely changed? I almost don't recognize you anymore."

Claudia was also very sad. She never thought that her once most important father would choose to betray the Seven Shields Alliance and be the first to betray his duties.

"Everything I taught you hasn't changed, including all the principles of chivalry. It's just that people can't be so pedantic. The necessary changes must be made for the better. This is also the new thing I want to teach you."

General Graf spoke confidently, and he had different plans in mind, and this idea was very frank.

"But this guy Bolt wants to destroy the entire continent and take over everything on it. Father, are you really willing to see him do that?"

After hearing what General Graf said, Claudia was a little surprised and began to question her father loudly.

"Haha, the so-called cooperation is nothing more than a temporary measure. How could a bunch of stupid mercenaries possibly be my opponent? They are just a small enemy. By then, the entire continent will fall into my hands."

General Graf said confidently, looking at Claudia in front of him, and spoke without hesitation.

"Claudia, you should have heard what my dream is, right? To bring glory and prosperity to the Valentino family is my ultimate dream. In order to achieve this, I must put in some effort."

After learning about this, General Graf's face showed a serious expression. Claudia was also very serious and still didn't understand his plan at all.

"Let me put it this way! The Seven Shields Alliance is finished, and the kingdom is also finished. Since even Bolt can do it easily, then I am qualified to become the heir of the kingdom. Create a new kingdom."

General Graf opened his arms with an expectant expression on his face, and didn't seem to feel bad about this.

"Father, how could you possibly think like that? You taught me to protect our alliance, and I tried my best to listen to you. Yet, you've become like this."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Claudia on the side was also very sad.

"The past was the past, and the present is the present. No one knows what their future will be like. A true knight must also fulfill his chivalry. Since I am no longer here, the one we are supposed to protect, then why should we go to such great lengths to protect him?"

General Graf also had a serious expression on his face, and he completely understood what he had to do.

To General Graf, Bolt was just a small fry. If he worked harder, he could easily defeat Bolt's Black Beast Mercenary Group.

The reason why he negotiated with Bolt was that he felt he needed to save his energy, which was also Graf's idea.

"I'm very disappointed in you, father. If you could return to the alliance, maybe you could become the person I admire again."

Claudia said this with anticipation, trying to get her father to return to his original self.

But, after all, maybe I was just overthinking it, and this was also the reason why Claudia was angry.

Chapter 96: Claudia's Defeat and General Graf's Ambition

Chapter 96: Claudia's Defeat and General Graf's Ambition

"I don't care whether I'm disappointed or not. I just want my wish to come true and make my family's bloodline a royal family. This is my biggest goal."

General Graf said this solemnly, with a serious look on his face, as if reaching this point was something he couldn't wait to pursue.

"Father, how could you be such a person?"

Claudia was filled with shock. At this point, she had not expected that General Graf really wanted to do such a crazy thing. It really made her feel a little sad.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The most important thing is that you have failed me. Especially my good-for-nothing son."

There was also a hint of anger on General Graf's face, and he could be said to be extremely unhappy.

When Graf said this, his eyes were burning with anger. He looked at Claudia in front of him and told her what he had been suppressing in his heart.

"For a long time, as the number of descendants of our family's bloodline has dwindled, the glory of the past has faded. But this bastard son of mine was born with such a weak constitution that he couldn't even complete basic training. It really makes me feel a little ridiculous when I think about it. I am the head of the military, and I actually have such a civil servant son, and he is so stupid. He is so weak after walking a few steps. Do you know what I was thinking at the time?"

General Graf covered his heart and spoke coldly like an angry lion.

"I feel like my son is a complete loser, not even as good as an ordinary knight. I had given up on my bastard son and wanted you to be his wife and produce an outstanding knight offspring, but you haven't been able to do it at all. How can I not feel hopeless?"

General Graf roared, making his thoughts clear.

"But, father, there's also the goddess. As long as the goddess is here, you still have a chance. You can't let yourself fall like this."

Almost after remembering this, Claudia also tried to persuade the angry General Graf to calm down a little.

"Why can't this be done? I've already lost hope. Besides, I once took my useless son to find the goddess, but the message I got was that I shouldn't violate the laws of nature."

When General Graf said this, his worship and trust in the Elf Goddess also collapsed.

After all, if he couldn't even continue his family's existence, then what was the point of believing in that guy? So General Graf betrayed him without a second thought.

Needless to say, the final result was that General Graf easily cooperated with Bolt, and the two of them reached an alliance.

Compared to the first alliance, the second alliance was more casual.

General Graf understood that no one was trustworthy, and only by holding powerful forces at hand could he be feared and trusted by those people.

General Graf hated it very much. The secretly reincarnated goddess had great power and could change his son's fate, but she chose not to do so.

The bloody reality also made General Graf completely crazy and he could no longer calm down. This was also the anger of this man.

While the two were confronting each other, Bolt and Keane found the opportunity. Seeing the unguarded Seventh Fortress, they quickly rushed over.

"Master, now is the best opportunity.

, Claudia has been stopped, and now the number of paladins defending the city is the smallest, and we will win."

Keane looked excited and couldn't wait to speak.

"I understand. Use the battering ram and start attacking now."

There was a serious expression on Bolt's face, and he seemed to understand what he had to do at this moment.

While Claudia was besieged by General Graf, I took the opportunity to capture the Seventh Fortress and capture the Elf Goddess in front of everyone, then my own mission would be completed.

In order to serve the country and occupy this continent for a long time, Bolt must capture the elf goddess and give that woman a certain punishment. This is the necessary way to deal with it.

Under his command, the huge engineering hammers began to gather together, and they suddenly started to hit the huge fortress in front of them.

"Boom boom boom!"

With a heavy crash, the cost was immediately knocked away. Bolt took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in with his army.

As the gate was knocked open, the members of the Black Beast Mercenary Group also rushed towards the location of the church. In a short while, they completely surrounded the church.

After searching for a long time, Bolt did not wait for the elf goddess. Keane's face looked a little unhappy and he spoke helplessly.

"Master, the situation has changed. We haven't found the Elf Goddess at all, and we haven't found anything at all."

When Keane said this, Bolt was also shocked. He did not expect such a development. It was simply beyond his expectations.

"How is that possible? The Elf Goddess usually hides in the temple and doesn't go anywhere. Why would she disappear?"

Suddenly thinking of this, Bolt was also very unhappy, knowing that the Elf Goddess was the real core of the Seven Shield Alliance.

Even though the seven fortresses have been completely destroyed by him, as long as the Elf Goddess is there, she can still gather some people to resist him.

Simply put, the Elf Goddess is a flag. Anyone who approaches this flag will obey the orders of the Elf Goddess. This is the so-called horror of faith.

"The only possibility is that he was taken away by that guy again. It was done by the Demon King from another world. This is the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, there are no other possibilities."

Keane also frowned, thinking that he had underestimated the demon king from another world. He was secretly doing trouble behind their backs. Such behavior was really too much.

"I understand. It seems I can only cooperate with Graf to find the Elf Goddess first. As for our battle, I would like to postpone it if possible."

Bolt frowned, knowing that he had no advantage and that after many losses, his personnel were no longer as numerous as before.

Even the core members of the Black Beast Mercenary Corps are only left with about 3000 people, and the rest are just some people who are just making up the numbers and members of the demon clan.

-------------------------------------------------

On the other side, Claudia felt the sound of the city gate being knocked open in the distance. Her face suddenly changed and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Father, you actually made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, allowing the Black Beast Mercenaries to break down the city gate. Do you think you are worthy of the Goddess's cultivation?"

Claudia questioned, and Yuqi became even colder.

"None of this matters. Claudia, please give birth to a child for me! Let's continue the glory of our family together and give birth to the most outstanding child!"

General Graf said as a matter of course, looking at Claudia in front of him expectantly, and said without any politeness, "Tell me what you think."

"No way, I will never do this for you."

After hearing what General Graf said, Claudia was very unhappy. Her eyes were full of disbelief and she felt angry for this guy.

"We have to do it, charge and destroy these Paladins. Claudia will personally leave it to me."

General Graf said loudly, and he couldn't help but have his own plan in mind, and he knew what he should do.

"Yes."

After hearing Graf's order, the paladins present looked at each other and began to act quickly, surrounding the people around Claudia and surrounding them all.

"Father, it seems you are truly beyond help. If that is the case, then consider me the one who has come to save your chivalry. I will never allow you to fall into such depravity again, and I will never allow it."

Claudia said this with a serious look in her eyes, taking out her knight sword, and preparing for the final showdown with her father.

"You're in good spirits, but don't forget. I taught you everything you know, and I gave you your life. Do you think you can be my opponent?"

General Graf said sternly, staring at Claudia in front of him and threatening coldly.

"So what? No matter what, I will never give up. Even if it means sacrificing my life, I am willing to sacrifice it for the goddess."

After Claudia finished speaking, she rushed forward, ready to solve the trouble at hand.

"hehe."

General Graf ignored Claudia's words and stood forward to face him.

The two men swung their swords at the same time and turned sideways to look forward.

"Boom!"

After the two fought, the weapon in Claudia's hand was knocked away, and her legs went weak and she half-knelt on the ground.

"You lose, Claudia. From now on, you belong to me. That's the rule of chivalry, isn't it?"

General Graf was very satisfied. Looking at the incredulous Claudia, he also showed a satisfied expression. He finally caught his daughter.

"I lost, I lost to my father."

Claudia was filled with despair and didn't know what to say.
