Chapter 316: 306, Each of the Five Great Empires has a top master (seeking monthly tickets)
The Golden Ram Herolf’s gunmanship suddenly rolled upward like a giant wave abruptly rising on the sea, tightly pursuing Andreas, the youngest of the Sacred Order from the Black Phoenix Dynasty. His spirit, consciousness, and gunmanship all locked onto him.
Although Charles had seen many a battle among the Sacred Order, he couldn’t help but clap and praise, “The Old Goat actually has so tricks up his sleeve!”
Charles had seen the Golden Ram Herolf in action before, but each ti, he was besieged by at least three of the Sacred Order, always in quite a sorry state, either relying on the Magical Alchemy Warship or the hard resistance of Saint Michael, which made him subconsciously think that this loyal servant wasn’t much in terms of strength.
But at this mont, seeing the Old Goat fighting alone, Charles realized that the old man did indeed have sothing special.
High above, a sonorous rumbling of Fighting Spirit soon erupted.
Because the weather was clear with not too many clouds, they were all shattered by the disturbance, like silk tearing across the sky.
Charles, struck by a sudden impulse, grabbed the Collapsing Mountain, jumped off the city wall, and yelled, “Chloe, let’s battle! Today you will surely die on the battlefield.”
Chloe was also of the sa mind, grabbed her usual spear, and charged out of the army ranks, yelling, “Charles, this isn’t the first ti you’ve boasted.”
“Just so you know, I’m no longer a fifteenth-order knight!”
Charles, shocked, exclaid, “Did you fall from the Extraordinary Ranks again? You really aren’t up to snuff!”
Chloe Harland, furious, yelled back, “I’m now a sixteenth-order knight!”
Charles thought to himself, “This guy really works hard!”
“But old man, I haven’t been slacking either; I’m now an eleventh-order Transcendent.”
Charles and Chloe were old rivals, both thoroughly familiar with each other’s gunmanship. After seventeen or eighteen moves in a fierce duel, Chloe couldn’t help but stealthily ask, “No wonder you aren’t running away. Where did this old thing co from? I haven’t heard of him.”
Charles whispered, “Do you know about the Empire’s First Rose?”
Chloe scoffed, “That’s your Fars’s First Rose.”
But he quickly replied, “Of course I’ve heard about her, what young man on the Old Continent hasn’t heard of Miss nilman?”
“But, although I’ve heard you shalessly claim to be Miss nilman’s junior fellow, it’s impossible that you could bring her to Sedona!”
“Moreover, this lady is entirely engulfed in Dark Fighting Qi, while this old fellow is full of Marine System Fighting Qi. And I certainly don’t believe Miss nilman would disguise herself as such an ugly old man!”
Charles spat, “What are you thinking about?”
“My senior recently conquered St. Michael Island…”
Chloe, shocked and pale, exclaid, “What? The Empire’s First Rose actually conquered St. Michael Island, which was said to never fall?”
“Then this old man?”
He looked up at the sky, his face filled with astonishnt, and yelled, “Is that Golden Ram Herolf?”
“Quick, tell how Miss Rose managed to take down St. Michael Island?”
“I was at the front line and haven’t received the news yet.”
Of course, Charles wouldn’t tell Chloe the truth. Though the two were friendly, they were ultimately enemies, and his unauthorized departure from the front line was also a cri, minor or not. Even nilman hadn’t petitioned the Empire on his behalf, knowing full well the corruption in the Empire’s bureaucracy, which was unimaginable, and such a handle shouldn’t be given to others.
He made up a bunch of things on the spot, lavishing praise on nilman.
Chloe listened, utterly fascinated, nearly getting killed by Charles’s spear, which infuriated him to curse a few tis, then he whispered quietly, “I even warned you to run away quickly, and you actually thought of killing ?”
“Damn it!”
He tightened his grip on his spear, invigorated his spirit, and mustered all his skill, no longer going easy on Charles.
However, after more than a hundred exchanges, Chloe was shocked to discover that, despite having advanced a rank, she still couldn’t defeat her old rival.
Taking advantage of the mont, Charles asked, “What’s the deal with this guy nad Andreas?”
Chloe asked, “You don’t know? That’s a bit ignorant.”
“You should have heard, after Zimrman’s death, each of the Five Great Empires has its top expert!”
Charles shook his head and said, “Never heard of it.”
Chloe remarked, “It’s normal not to know. When the monster Zimrman was around, who dared to claim the title of ‘top expert’? It was only after his death that this beca a thing.”
“Your Fars Empire’s top expert is Earl Brittany!”
Startled, Charles asked, “Really?”
Chloe, a bit annoyed, said, “This is common knowledge, why would I lie to you? Besides, what would be the point of lying to you?”
Charles truly didn’t know that Anne’s father was actually the top expert of the Fars Empire!
This news was truly horrifying.
He always felt that if he ever slighted Anne, he would have to face the wrath of the Fars Empire’s top expert.
Unable to resist, Charles asked, “Why isn’t Count Galanode our Fars Empire’s top expert? He’s the Minister of War, after all?”
Chloe snapped, “How should I know? Can you not interrupt?”
Charles humd and asked, “The top expert of Inglima is Count Victory Champagne, right?”
Chloe nodded and said, “Correct, it’s Count Ranmalock!”
Charles asked, “This guy doesn’t seem like the top expert of Black Phoenix Dynasty, maybe not even as skilled as my sister nilman.”
He glanced at the sky, Andreas was clearly at a disadvantage, the Old Goat was indeed tough.
Chloe angrily exclaid, “How can you underestimate our Black Phoenix Dynasty? Although Andreas is powerful, how could he be the top expert of Black Phoenix Dynasty everywhere?”
“It’s his father! His father, Viscount Constantine, is the top expert of our Black Phoenix Dynasty.”
Charles couldn’t help but remark, “The top expert of your Black Phoenix Dynasty doesn’t have much status! How co the top experts of Fars and Inglima are counts, but yours is just a viscount?”
Unable to contain her anger, Chloe said, “I’m done talking to this idiot!”
After exchanging gossip, both began to take things more seriously, wanting to see just how much they had advanced in their martial techniques during the ti they hadn’t seen each other.
The battle in the skies also beca more intense, the Old Goat vented all the pent-up anger he had recently accumulated.
Andreas was continuously complaining, after all, he was still young. With a fifty-year gap in cultivation compared to Golden Ram Herolf, how could he possibly bridge that gap even if he was a genius?
Besides, to ascend to the Sacred Order, wouldn’t one need exceptional talent?
Andreas could only rely on fast movent, launching hit-and-run attacks all over the sky, pushing his movent technique to full speed, fearing that slowing down even slightly could give the Old Goat an opening to spear him down in battle.
