A smile appeared on Ko's cold face.

To him, these figures were his true companions.

Are you all prepared? Don't mess things up when the time comes.

I'm not afraid of death, but if I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to resolve it next time.

Heihei, you don't need to worry about that.

Everything is under control.

Just pay attention and don't get caught up in it, said the figure in the middle with a smile.

As long as you all are prepared, Kamo nodded.

After double-checking the plan, he placed a hand on his chest and said devoutly, "For eternal night.

For eternal night.

For eternal night.

" Several figures responded fervently, and then the figures dissipated, and the statue returned to its original form.

As the darkness receded, the room returned to normal, carefully storing the statue back in his ring.

Kumo sat back on his bed and began his daily cultivation.

After advancing to the eighth rank, ordinary meditation and cultivation no longer had any effect.

Yet, Kamo still maintained the habit of meditating daily.

3 days later, a shocking event occurred in the Arcana Kingdom, shaking the northern continent.

At a royal banquet, the Church of Eternal Knight attacked the nobles of the Arcana Kingdom.

Two ninth ranks, accompanied by dozens of high-ranking experts, ignored the various defensive magic arrays of the palace and directly descended.

The strong of the Arcana Kingdom fought desperately, but ultimately could not withstand the assault.

The king of Arcana was killed on the spot, and the kingdom's strongest expert, a high priest who had already reached the ninth rank, also fell in battle.

In this conflict, the Church of Eternal Knight demonstrated their formidable combat power.

Among equals, they were virtually invincible.

High-ranking experts from the Arcana Kingdom died, fled, and many surrendered.

Over half of the nobles under the threat of death chose to betray the kingdom and submit to the Church of Eternal Night.

However, the Arcana Kingdom did not perish as a result under the leadership of General Kimo, the main character of this banquet.

A small team broke through the heavy encirclement of the Church of Eternal Knight and escaped the royal city.

Among this small team was also a prince.

According to the rules of the Northern Continent, as long as he remained, the Arcana Kingdom would not fall.

The surprise attack by the Church of Eternal Knight shocked the Hundred Nations Alliance.

They were extremely angry, unable to understand why the people of the Arcana Kingdom were so foolish as to gather the entire upper echelon of the kingdom together.

nor could they comprehend how the high-ranking team of the Church of Eternal Knight had quietly infiltrated.

However, they could not afford to question the Arcana Kingdom as trouble soon followed.

The loss of dozens of highranking experts was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Arcana Kingdom.

But for the Hunter Nations Alliance, it was nothing.

They could easily make up for it.

The most fatal point was that the upper echelon of the Arcana Kingdom had been almost entirely wiped out.

The overall national strength of the Arcana Kingdom did not suffer much loss.

But the command structure was gone.

Without leadership, the kingdom's army was like a hand that could not come together.

Unable to throw a powerful punch.

Faced with the advancing army of Eternal Knight, the kingdom's army retreated step by step.

The army of Eternal Knight surged forward, pushing ahead relentlessly.

Ultimately, after two months of intense battles, even with the support of the Hundred Nations Alliance, this thorn that had intercepted the Eternal Knight Empire for nearly two years was finally removed.

Chapter 179.

Surrender without a fight.

Organization behind enemy lines.

Meanwhile, in the northern continent, in another medium-sized kingdom, the Kingdom of Pal in the capital.

Within the royal palace hall, a dozen core ministers and the king gathered together, all frowning with serious expressions.

Since receiving the news that the kingdom of Aarna was ambushed and mysteriously annihilated, their brows had not relaxed.

In terms of strength, the kingdom of Pal was on par with the kingdom of Aarna.

Yet just a few months ago, Aarna was still resisting well, and suddenly it was resolved without warning.

How could this not make them feel fearful? Usually they were quite talkative.

So why was everyone silent today? It was either war or surrender.

A conclusion had to be reached.

Otherwise, when the eternal knight army came over in a few days, they wouldn't even know what to do.

The elderly kings sitting above looked at the core ministers below with some dissatisfaction.

Normally, these guys were not so tacetern.

Often they could argue for 10 days and nights over trivial matters.

Yet now, when it was truly necessary for them to come up with ideas, they all shrank back like turtles, unable to utter a single word, the ministers below were either generals commanding legions, feudal lords of territories, or heads of large families.

All significant figures in the kingdom of Pal who could shake the entire kingdom with a stop.

They were eloquent and ordinarily they could speak continuously for several days without any issue.

However, today was different.

After all, this matter was too sensitive for them to express opinions, at least not first.

This was a matter concerning the survival of the kingdom.

To put it bluntly, it was a division between the surrender faction and the resistance faction.

If opinions diverged, it could lead to a direct conflict on the spot.

Therefore, until someone clearly took a stand, no one dared to speak, all bowing their heads in silence.

A group of cunning old men looking at the silent old friends beside them.

Everyone inwardly cursed.

After a while, seeing that no one was speaking, the old king also became somewhat impatient, slapping his throne, and a barrier shield instantly rose within the palace.

Your majesty, what is this? Gulp, another barrier.

Could it be? In an instant, everyone below panicked.

After all, they were aware of the destruction of the kingdom of Aarna.

And now seeing this similar scene, they couldn't help but think more.

The ministers shifted their feet slightly, quietly distancing themselves from their companions, their internal energies circulating, preparing in advance.

As soon as something felled off, they would immediately flee.

Since you are unwilling to speak with me, then let someone else speak to you.

" The old king looked coldly at the ministers below, smiled coldly, then stood up and took out a several meter high dark statue from his spatial ring, placing it directly in front of him.

The old king sincerely prayed, praised the eternal night king.

The statue flickered with a black glow, and in an instant, a black vortex formed from which a figure emerged.

It was a ninth tier powerhouse dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask.

Eternal knight emissary, how is this possible? When did his majesty pledge allegiance to the eternal knight church? Why would he? It's over.

I wondered why his majesty, knowing the fate of the kingdom of Aarna, would urgently summon us.

It turns out he has long since allied with the eternal night church.

He went to capture us all.

Looking at the black robe powerhouse that emerged.

The ministers below were shocked, their hearts chilled.

Some clever ones became even more cautious, wary of those around them.

After all, if even the king had been infiltrated, who could guarantee that these companions were still on the same side? Having seen the emissary, the old king ignored the reactions of the ministers below and respectfully greeted.

This eternal knight emissary was extremely powerful, having reached the ninth tier sacred domain, and was not an ordinary ninth tier.

He was a strong one among them.

His status within the eternal night church was very high.

In response to the king's greeting, he simply nodded lightly and said flatly, "You continue.

" After saying that, he stood aside, his gaze indifferent, looking at the ministers below, exerting great pressure on them.

Clearly, the ministers all had considerable strength with even some ninth tier powerhouses among them.

Yet, at this moment, a chill rose in their hearts.

Everyone, this is the eternal knight emissary.

I need not elaborate on where he comes from.

I originally wanted to ask for your opinions first, but since none of you are willing to speak, I shall take the lead.
