Chapter 178 Raid, Beheading

After a moment of silence, Axe asked curiously, "Can I ask why you do this?"

He did not have too much hesitation and anxiety in his heart. After all, for him, he had not lost anything since he survived.

It's a situation where if you live one more day, you earn one more day.

"Why……"

Su Xingyu thought about it and quickly replied: "No reason, I just did it when I saw it... It's just like when you see a beautiful flower on the road and you think it's nice, so you just pick it. Do you need a reason?"

Su Xingyu's answer gave Axel a great shock. He had never met such a person before.

When I saw it, I thought it was nice, so I picked it up.

It is easy to say but difficult to do, and it requires a lot of support behind it.

Su Xingyu did not urge Axe who was thinking, but gave him enough time. After his eyes became firm, he asked softly:
"Well, have you decided which path you want to take?"

"I choose the first one. I want to embark on the path of transcendence. Please help me, young master." Axe replied firmly.

"Ah."

Su Xingyu nodded calmly, as if he had expected Axel's choice and was not surprised at all. He just said calmly: "Don't call me Master. This title sounds weird and I don't like it. My name is Xingyu."

"Okay, Brother Yu." Axe took advantage of the situation and immediately changed the address.

Su Xingyu ignored him and just focused on checking the attribute panel.

Introduction: The person loved by the world is the son of destiny in this dimension.

"As expected, I said I just didn't like him. It turns out he is the son of luck of this plane." Su Xingyu was not surprised by Axl's talent. Although such people were rare, they did exist in the Eternal Night Empire. However, the identity of the son of luck made him realize it instantly.

It would be strange if he could like the son of destiny who was born with the blessing of world consciousness and the essence of heaven and earth.

After all, in a sense, what he is doing now is actually declaring war on world consciousness.

Unify the planes and control consciousness.

Even though due to the rules, the world consciousness has not yet given birth to wisdom, and the Eternal Night Empire is also a local creature force, the world's targeting has not come directly.

But world consciousness can still create some obstacles for them.

For example, slightly adjusting the local climate of the Eternal Night Empire, or letting the Northern Continent Kingdom they are attacking give birth to a few children of destiny...

"What is the Son of Fortune?" Ax asked curiously after hearing Su Xingyu's words.

Su Xingyu shook his head slightly and did not answer his question. He stretched out his hand to create a crack in space, took out a piece of jade from it, and threw it to Ax.

"What is this?" Axe took the jade and looked at him in confusion.

"There is a cultivation method suitable for your bloodline. Practice it for a few months first to lay a good foundation. After that, I will help you awaken your bloodline."

Su Xingyu explained and stopped paying attention to Axl. He directly threw him to Sebastian and asked him to help with the training.

……

The Kingdom of Akana.

As one of the members of the Northern Continent's Hundred Nations Alliance, it has nearly three million people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Among the many kingdoms in the entire Northern Continent, it is a medium-sized kingdom with decent strength.

The geographical location of the Kingdom of Yakana is more towards the Eastern Continent, at least from the perspective of the entire Northern Continent.

After defeating several principalities, the Eternal Night Empire came to the territory of the Akana Kingdom and was met with fierce resistance from them.

For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

This is not because the Yakana Kingdom is strong enough to stop the Eternal Night Empire, but because the terrain here is somewhat complicated and not suitable for large-scale military operations.

This resulted in the Eternal Night Empire's offensive efficiency slowing down.

And as the Hundred Nations Alliance reacted and began to integrate its internal forces to provide all-round support to the Kingdom of Yakana, it became even more of a headache for the Eternal Night Empire.

With the advantage of terrain, the Kingdom of Yakana has held out for more than a year, but during this period, neither side has achieved any significant results.

The capital of the Kingdom of Akana, a large city with a permanent population of hundreds of thousands.

The core area is where the great nobles live. Their status can be judged based on their distance from the palace.

The area surrounding the royal palace is full of top nobles, whose status in the kingdom is second only to the emperor.

In a courtyard near the royal palace, many nobles gathered together to hold a victory banquet for the victorious general.

"General Kamo played an indispensable role in our victory over the Eternal Night Army and our recapture of our stronghold. If it weren't for your good command and efforts to turn the tide, the kingdom would have lost this time."

A middle-aged nobleman raised his glass and said loudly: "Everyone, let's drink to General Kamo."

"The Grand Duke is right. Let's have a drink for the kingdom and General Kamo." Someone next to him immediately responded and shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to the kingdom, congratulations to the general!"

"Congratulations to the kingdom, congratulations to the general!"

Seeing this, everyone in the hall responded, raised their glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.

They were all in a good mood. After all, it had been a long time since they had felt as relaxed as they did today.

Ever since the Eternal Night Empire launched its military campaign towards the Northern Continent, the Hundred Nations Alliance has suffered repeated defeats. Even the alliance army that was formed with great difficulty was defeated by the other side.

The battle line is constantly being pushed forward, and as nobles in the kingdom, they are under a lot of pressure.

Even though the Yakana Kingdom has been resisting for more than a year, it has publicized that it has stopped the Eternal Night Empire here.

But my family knows their own affairs.

The actual situation is far more difficult than what is said outside.

During this one year or so, they were beaten the whole time, without any ability to fight back, and could only rely on their own country and the strong people who came to support them to cause trouble. But these small tricks were ultimately not worthy of being put on the table, and could not reverse the general trend.

If it weren't for the Eternal Night Empire's high moral bottom line, they could have killed their way through and indiscriminately destroyed the Akana Kingdom.

In such a situation, a victory, even a small one, would be enough to excite the entire kingdom.

The protagonist of the banquet was a man under 30 years old, with ordinary looks and a scar on his face, full of masculinity.

As a general who rose from a commoner through military exploits, Kamo was a household name throughout the Akana Kingdom, and even had considerable fame within the Hundred Nations Alliance.

Ever since the invasion of the Eternal Night Empire, he has been fighting in the front line, from the border city at the beginning, to the first kingdom defense battle, then the decisive battle, and now the national defense battle.

In the past decade, Kamo can be said to have been through many battles.

Faced with the flattery of his country's bigwigs, Kamo just smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant.

It was not until late at night that the banquet was completely over, the guests left, and the house became quiet.

"Clean this place up." Kamo looked at the scattered wine glasses and food residues in the hall and ordered the servants.

Afterwards, Kamo returned to his room. His blood and qi revived slightly, and the alcohol in his body turned into vapor and was discharged through his pores. Kamo's eyes also became clear.

After closing the door and adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, he took out a statue from his space ring.

Place it carefully.

Kamo prayed devoutly: "The most powerful and supreme King of Eternal Night, your devout believer Kamo, prays to you..."

That’s right, although Kamo is a citizen of the Akana Kingdom, he is also a member of the Cult of Eternal Night.

As for when he surrendered?
That would take a long time to trace back.

After learning that they had a neighbor to the north, the Cult of Eternal Night began to secretly send missionaries into various countries to preach.

This is different from the previous infiltration missionary work in the Moshi Kingdom and the forced missionary work of conquered tribes.

The missionary work in the northern countries follows an elite route. The Eternal Night missionaries travel across the territories of the countries, looking for suitable members to preach to them.

Most of them are hooligans who wander the streets and can't even get enough food, and teenagers who were born in civilian families and can't go to school...

Missionaries will grant them the right to practice, and then decide whether to recruit them into the religion based on their performance.

And Kamo is one of them. He was originally just a gangster boy wandering the streets, but later he came into contact with the Eternal Night missionaries and was able to embark on the extraordinary path. Later, due to his good performance, he was pulled into the cult and became a devout Eternal Night believer.

Although Kamo is a citizen of the Kingdom of Yakana, he does not have much sense of belonging to his motherland. On the contrary, he very much agrees with the philosophy of the Cult of Eternal Night.

This is actually not surprising. Except for a very few countries, most of the kingdoms in the northern continent lack patriotic education for their citizens.

But this is normal. The upper class, who holds absolute power, does not need to care about the voices of the lower class. To them, the people below are just consumable tools.

Do humans care about the sound of consumable tools?

It doesn’t matter if you haven’t come across it before. After all, it’s the same in every country and there’s nothing strange about it.

But after coming into contact with the Cult of Eternal Night, Kamal, who was already intelligent, immediately suffered a strong shock to his worldview. The habitual thinking he had formed over the years was broken, and he quickly accepted the ideas of the Cult of Eternal Night.

"The strong have more rights, and the weak should also be guaranteed survival."

After praying as usual, the black statue flickered with a faint glow, and several palm-sized figures emerged. As soon as they appeared, they asked, "Kamo, how is it? Did it succeed? This time, in order to gain your trust, the Empire directly sent 3,000 skeleton warriors. If we can't meet King Yakana, we will lose a lot."

"Don't worry, I'll never disappoint you. They've told me that I'll be able to see the king in a few days."

A smile appeared on Kamo's cold face. In his opinion, these people in front of him were his companions. "You are all ready, don't let me be implicated when things are not done. I am not afraid of death, but if I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to solve it next time."

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. Everything is under control. Just be careful and don't get affected." The shadow in the middle laughed.

"Just be prepared." Camo nodded.

After checking the plan again, Kamo placed one hand on his chest and said devoutly: "For the Eternal Night!"

"For the Eternal Night!"

"For the Eternal Night!"

Several phantoms responded enthusiastically, and then the phantoms dissipated and the statue returned to its original state.

The darkness receded and the room returned to normal.

After carefully placing the statue into the ring, Kamo sat back on the bed and began his daily practice.

After being promoted to the eighth level, normal meditation practice is no longer effective, but Kamo still maintains the habit of daily meditation practice.

Three days later.

A major event that shocked the northern continent occurred in the Akana Kingdom. At a banquet in the royal palace, the Cult of Eternal Night attacked the nobles of the Akana Kingdom.

Two ninth-level warriors, along with dozens of high-level warriors, ignored the various defensive magic formations of the palace and descended directly. The warriors of the Yakana Kingdom fought desperately but were ultimately defeated.

King Yakana was killed on the spot, and the strongest man in the kingdom, a great priest who had already reached the ninth level, also died directly. In this battle, the Cult of Eternal Night showed their extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Among the same level, they are invincible.

Many high-ranking warriors of the Yakana Kingdom died, fled, or surrendered.

Under the threat of death, more than half of the nobles chose to abandon the kingdom and join the Cult of Eternal Night.

However, the Kingdom of Yakana did not end there. Under the leadership of the protagonist of this banquet, General Kamo, a team broke through the siege of the Cult of Eternal Night and escaped from the royal city.

And there is a prince in this team. According to the rules of the Northern Continent, as long as he is still there, the Kingdom of Yakana will not be destroyed.

The sudden attack by the Cult of Eternal Night shocked the Alliance of Hundred Nations. They were extremely annoyed and didn't understand why the people of the Kingdom of Akana were so stupid as to gather all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom together. They also didn't understand how the high-ranking team of the Cult of Eternal Night had sneaked in so quietly.

However, they had no time to question the Kingdom of Akana because trouble was about to follow.

The loss of dozens of high-level warriors was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Yakana Kingdom, but to the Hundred Nations Alliance, it was nothing and they could make up for it by simply gathering together.

The most fatal point is that the top leaders of the Akana Kingdom were almost wiped out.

The overall national strength of the Akana Kingdom did not suffer much loss, but the command level was gone.

The Kingdom Army, without its commander, was like a hand that could not close, unable to throw out a powerful fist.

Faced with the sweeping army of Eternal Night, the kingdom's army was defeated.

The army of Eternal Night marched forward triumphantly.

Finally, after two months of fierce fighting, even with the support of the Hundred Nations Alliance, the nail that had blocked the Eternal Night Empire for nearly two years was pulled out.
