The system has to be used even if it is pulled

The battlefield was cleaned up, and a dozen of his men carried out a thorough search of the annihilated Snake Cult team. There was no broken chain mail, no broken weapons, no broken plate armor, but they took away everything that could be taken away. These things could be sold to the people in the blacksmith shop.

At dusk, Zhao Yuanlang's team finally arrived at Issos, the best place in the continent in terms of climate and human environment, especially the top-quality wine produced here, a paradise for bards and nobles. Of course, a large area of ​​land here, including the entire land around Lake Issos, belongs to Lord Archon Justus. Strictly speaking, this is the base camp of the Goddess of Creation. After all, Archon Justus is a high-ranking member of the Goddess of Creation.

At this point we have to talk about the factions in the empire. Emperor Marius and his Immortal Knights are on one side, and they are at odds with Archon Kairos and Seth's Shadow Knights.

Because many of Emperor Marius' Immortal Knights were double agents. On the one hand, they were loyal to Marius, and on the other hand, they were colluding with the Snake Cult.

The Shadow Knights are those who have survived from the ancient Cubax Empire. They are martial and strictly abide by the traditions of the ancient empire from equipment to horses. Moreover, they are extremely warlike, and their military literacy and level are among the best in the continent of Pendor.

Any Shadow Knight alone can take on the position of Centurion, so Shadow Knights are also called Shadow Centurions. They are competing for the title of first place with the Lion Knights of Sarleon, who have a long tradition of knighthood.

Therefore, Emperor Marius had to constantly suppress the overly powerful Shadow Knights.

As for Archon Justus, although he did not join any knightly order, he did not even try to subdue the folk knightly order of the Glorious Cross that emerged during the Issus plague. That was because he was a high-ranking member of the Church of the Goddess of Creation.

Moreover, he is the brother of Archon Kairos. Theocracy and imperial power have been at odds with each other since ancient times. Adding on the relationship with Kairos, it is certain that they will not get along with each other.

Kairos had a very good relationship with the three brothers Justus and Agathon. Even General Agathon and Justus' son Lord Ales joined the Immortal Knights, trying to split the Immortal Knights belonging to Emperor Marius.

The north and even the east of the empire did not recognize the king's orders, which made Emperor Marius furious.

As for Archon Levius, he is a high-ranking member of the Church of the Goddess of Creation. Under his command are the Holy Shield Greatsword Masters of the cult, the most powerful infantry corps in the empire, and the most elite spear corps of the empire is also in his hands.

Logically speaking, he should have been doing well, but he was a tragedy. He was a fierce general, brainless, and violent. Although he had the help of his brother Valerius, he was still the most easily bullied by Marcus among the three consuls. In this way, a balance was reached between the imperial power and the factions of the three consuls.

The empire seemed powerful, but in fact, there were undercurrents underneath, and both sides were stabbing each other in the back.

In the Arena of Issos, Archon Justus narrowed his eyes in the VIP room at the highest point, watching Zhao Yuanlang, who was showing off his might and killing everyone with his sword. He said to the leader of the church gravekeepers, Leidi, "This is incredible. He is as strong as the sword fighter Oruba. No, he is even stronger than Oruba. He is much stronger. Where did the Shadow Knights find this strong man?"

The gravekeeper, Lady, was a woman, but a very strong one. She touched her short hair and said in an androgynous voice, "The Shadow Knights have always been at the top, so it's no surprise. However, this kid's clothes clearly show that he just joined. He is a low-ranking follower. The Shadow Knights really found a treasure."

"Yeah! Kairos, my brother, what exactly do you want to do?" Justus squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Yuanlang who was walking around the field in victory, and asked in confusion.

........

A few days later in Sarion, King Ulric looked at the victorious Zhao Yuanlang below with his eyes narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he looked at the Shadow Legion armor on Zhao Yuanlang and waved vaguely to one of his Sunfire Lion Knights.

"His Majesty!"

"No matter what method you use, he will definitely go to Afendol. You must stop him from winning the championship. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The Yangyan Lion Knight is the most powerful knight of the Lion Knights. There are only five or six of them in the huge Lion Knights, and each Yangyan Lion Knight leads at least a dozen Lion Knights.

But what Lao Wu could not have imagined was that at noon five days later, the Yangyan Lion Knight came back with a bruised face, and with him came six other Lion Knights with bruised faces.

Lao Wu's face was a little pale: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, he is too powerful. We all failed. We were no match for him in a one-on-one fight. Even Lord Viscount Maurice in the Afendol Arena was ruthlessly chopped off his horse by him. Duke Brunus was furious and wanted to arrest him, but he beat him out of the arena."

"Hahaha! That's interesting. A man as cruel as Brennus is not one to suffer any loss. Logically, his wanted order should have been sent to the capital, right?"

The leading Yangyan Lion Knight hesitated to speak. Old Wu looked at him, frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say!"

"That afternoon, Duke Brunus, who was relaxing in the city, was attacked. Lord Kai, who was protecting him, was seriously injured, and seven Lion Knights were unconscious. A fully armed team failed to stop the enemy, and he easily took Lord Brunus's helmet. That was the end of the incident."

"What did you say?" Old Wu stood up in shock, looking at the Sun Lion Knight with some suspicion. He suspected that his subordinate was lying and making excuses for his failure. However, he quickly shook his head, knowing that this was impossible. This Sun Lion Knight had been a family general since his grandfather and was very loyal to him.

"I am willing to use our lives as a guarantee." The Yangyan Lion Knight also saw Lao Wu's suspicion and knelt down directly.

"Okay, get up. Does that mean he is so powerful? Although I really dislike that woman Kay, who calls herself the Knight Commander of the Knights Templar every day, her strength is among the best in the Knights Templar. Except for the bastard Leon, no one else is her opponent. Plus, there are seven Lion Knights, a fully equipped team of 30 people, but he still managed to snatch Brunus's helmet. Where is that guy now? Can he be used by me?" Lao Wu looked at his Yangyan Lion Knight with particularly bright eyes.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we have lost track of him. He is like a ghost!"

"Useless! Get down and receive your punishment!" Lao Wu was furious. Such a talented person! He couldn't use him for his own benefit, and he couldn't get rid of him. Would his helmet be taken away from him in the future?

Janos, the same situation happened. Before Marius could take any action, he watched Zhao Yuanlang disappear after winning the championship.

Crown Prince Kiel behind Marius coughed morbidly a few times, knowing what his father was thinking. He sighed helplessly, "Shadow Legion, uncle, what exactly do you want to do?"

The swordsman Oruba, who was standing behind him with his upper body naked and holding a big sword, had not yet recovered from his disbelief, because he knew that he could not beat the opponent, and even if he led his sword fighting group, he would be helpless against the opponent.
