Chapter 465: Chapter 278: The Knight Order Gathers, Shocking the Strength of the Tulip Nobility

Thoughts swirling, the idea was quickly suppressed. Thor did not discuss this matter with his father, as some things lose meaning once spoken, and might only cause unnecessary worry.

After a brief preparation, the group set off once again.

Three days later.

The group finally reached the rendezvous point with Chesire.

Upon seeing the Engel Count’s Knight Order, Thor couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Although the number of knights had obviously halved, their strength had undoubtedly significantly increased compared to when they entered the Exotic World.

The number of Great Knights and Earth Knights had both noticeably increased.

Especially the Earth Knights, Thor sensed there were now three individuals among them.

Before this, no Earth Knights had been in Engel Count’s knight order aside from Chesire and Michael. Clearly, these three were only elevated after entering the Exotic World.

This growth was far greater compared to his current Knight Order.

However, thinking of the fortuitously obtained Essence of Life, Thor largely understood the situation.

With the Essence of Life enhancing their training potential, along with gains from the Exotic World, their speed was naturally incomparable to normal circumstances.

Otherwise, Michael couldn’t have abruptly advanced to a Sky Knight, and at mid-stage, no less.

"Lord Count."

"Young Master Thor!"

The group gathered and, upon noticing Thor, they all saluted.

"Thor, what should we do next?"

Count Engle nodded and then looked at his son.

"Father, we should proceed to the core. The time mentioned by Duke Liepuer is not far off."

Thor pondered briefly before speaking.

Days had passed, bringing more daily intelligence into his mind, but he still hadn’t found the key point.

For now, they could only approach the Noble Alliance.

After all, in the entire Kingdom War, those least likely to have issues were undoubtedly the top Noble Alliance members.

Approaching them might be the only real opportunity.

"Alright!"

Count Engle nodded.

He had no objections to this.

After Count Engle agreed, Thor instructed Reine to assemble the Knight Order members.

Then Reine departed, while Thor and Count Engle’s group headed towards the core.

At this moment, they were not the only ones heading there; countless top nobles were already rushing towards the core.

In his perception, he could clearly feel clusters of light rapidly gathering.

Their numbers were dense.

Under the Two Great Empires, the number of kingdoms and duchies was immense, with both powerful and relatively weak ones. The Tulip Kingdom wasn’t the most powerful, but it ranked towards the upper-middle.

Only mid-level kingdoms and above had the qualifications to participate in this struggle; even duchies generally struggled to find opportunities.

Over time, many Law Fragments had already been relatively concentrated.

Only a few scattered Law Fragments remained, and their impact was no longer significant.

However, unlike the clustered situation, some nobles were retreating towards the periphery.

Especially those nobles who were aware of the situation.

Time slowly passed.

After approximately seven days, the group neared the core.

And within those seven days, Thor learned much more from the daily intelligence.

The night gradually descended.

"Ding, daily intelligence updated."

"Would you like to open it?"

"Open it."

[Daily Intelligence Updated]

[1: In two days, you will reach the gathering place of the Tulip Kingdom’s nobility; your arrival surprised the nobles, but they sensed Count Engle’s strength and finally accepted you. By then, many nobles had already gathered here.]

[2: Five days later, from the eastern core, alliances formed by major kingdoms converge, and a new struggle begins. The ancient duel matters emerge; the Tulip Kingdom’s strength isn’t too apparent, putting it at a disadvantage in the struggle.]

[3: ...]

[4: ...] 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

[7: Fifteen days later, from the Thunder Prison, the presence of a Divine Body shows signs of awakening due to the blood nourishment.]

[8: Twenty days later, the Divine Body begins to awaken. Deities from the past start returning. Noticing the massive commotion, major noble alliances plan to investigate. Knowing the situation beforehand, you choose not to go!]

[9: On the twenty-first day, the Divine Body fully awakens, the Divine Domain suddenly descends, and Deities from the past re-emerge in this world. Within a radius of at least ten kilometers around Thunder Prison, the area turns into a Divine Kingdom, causing noble bodies to collapse and die. Many noble sacrifices seemingly trigger an unseen rule, and a figure descends upon this Exotic World.]

[10: A Divine War erupts, and the Exotic Realm Space shatters. You die.]

......

"Phew!"

Thor exhaled deeply, shaking his head.

Over the past few days, the final entry in the daily intelligence always involved his death.

The only relief was that, this time, it finally differed from before.

Before, during the initial presentation, he didn’t even know how he died.
