Chapter 466: Chapter 278: The Knight Order Gathers, Strength That Shocks the Tulip Nobles (Part 2)

Until a few days later, three days ago, he finally understood why he died.

The Divine Domain descended.

These Noble Alliance friends had the misfortune to investigate, and were directly wiped out by the Divine Domain.

The Divine Domain descended, and with their strongest only at Half-Step Sanctuary, there was no power to resist. More importantly, this Thunder God was slain by humans, carrying endless hatred toward humanity, the outcome was predictable.

Not only him, but over half of the Nobility Alliance were buried in the Divine Domain.

"Divine War!"

Thor murmured to himself, involuntarily looking towards the ninth column.

As he imagined, the daily intelligence indeed showed a turnaround.

Humans indeed had deities, and they descended upon this Exotic World. He hadn’t expected the divine war to be so terrifying, it shattered the entire Exotic World.

Clearly, he still couldn’t escape this immense crisis and ended up dead.

However, Thor didn’t pay too much attention to this.

Because the daily intelligence over the past few days could already prove that the opportunity indeed exists.

He simply couldn’t grasp this opportunity for the moment.

Since there are survivors from the previous intelligence, although not many, roughly one-tenth of nobility survived this Kingdom War.

These people, since they managed to survive, surely still have chances.

"Hoo!"

Stars twinkled as Thor exhaled a long turbid breath.

Retrieving his sight from the daily intelligence.

After pondering for a moment, he began to rest.

Night gradually passed.

A new day arrived.

Everyone set off again.

After two days.

Eastern core.

At this moment, in a piece of forest, the six great nobility of the Tulip Kingdom had already gathered together.

They were the three Great Dukes - the Kalenina family, the Liepuer Clan, and the Skodar Family, and the three top-level Marquis Families - the Mackendy Family, the Ivanov Clan, and the Sorol Clan.

As the strongest six families in the Tulip Kingdom, their power was exceedingly dominant in the entire Tulip Kingdom.

Even the three top-level Marquis families sent at least two Sky Knights, among them one Sky Knight Peak. As for the Duke family typically sent more than five Sky Knights, like the Kalenina family boasting seven Sky Knights, including two at Half-Step Sanctuary, even the Skodar Family dispatched over five Sky Knights, one at Half-Step Sanctuary.

The group’s gathering showed that the number of Sky Knights exceeded two digits, the presence of Half-Step Sanctuary reached four.

Yet such strength was still insufficient.

Among various kingdoms, especially those able to participate in the final nobility contest, the Tulip Kingdom’s power was actually considered relatively weak.

Not mentioning others, just the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom possessed seven at Half-Step Sanctuary, over ten at Sky Knight Peak.

Not to mention the Macedonian Kingdom, the Saki Kingdom, and other kingdoms.

"Duke Liepuer, is the Dressrosa family you mentioned truly so powerful?"

One person curiously asked, that was Marquis Sorol of the three top-level families.

"Indeed, Count Engle from that family should have achieved Half-Step Sanctuary."

Old Duke Liepuer nodded seriously and replied.

"Duke Liepuer, are you sure?"

An elder from the Kalenina family also turned his gaze to Old Duke Liepuer.

"It is certainly true."

Old Duke Liepuer nodded.

Surely this brought a hint of joy to the other two Duke families present.

For them, there’s no need to worry about the Dressrosa family being a threat, instead, a stronger Tulip Kingdom benefits them more.

"Good!"

"Hahaha, it seems our Tulip Kingdom is about to see the rise of another noble house."

The elder couldn’t help but laugh.

Following this, the others couldn’t help but smile.

However, compared to the three Dukes’ bright smiles, the smiles of the three top-level Marquis families appeared somewhat forced.

The rise of Dressrosa would inevitably impact their own interests.

Kingdom War was fine, they could collaborate mutually, but once the Kingdom War was over, the Dressrosa family would surely affect their interests.

It was indisputable.

Yet they dared not express any dissent at the moment.

In the Tulip Noble Alliance, although they were members, to put it bluntly, without Half-Step Sanctuary they were actually less influential than the Dressrosa Family possessing Half-Step Sanctuary.

The three exchanged glances, feeling a little helpless inside.

"By the way, Grand Duke Kalenina, how’s the situation?"

"Have they decided on their course of action?"

Thinking of something, Duke Liepuer looked at the elder and hesitatingly asked.

"Not yet determined, but it’s very likely they will choose the ancient gladiatorial combat."

"After all, now isn’t wartime, a Knight Order under my lead couldn’t initiate a war against the Noble Alliance, the losses would be too great, and the results uncertain."

The elder considered for a moment and spoke.

"Ancient gladiatorial combat?"

Listening to the elder, the figures present furrowed their brows.

Clearly, such combat would be extremely unfavorable for their Tulip Noble Alliance.

Given that their Tulip Noble Alliance’s strength isn’t overly powerful.

Among the Three Northern Countries, they currently rank second, and now with the Blazing Kingdom not participating in the contest, among the Three Northern Countries, Tulip Kingdom ranks last. Though compared to the entire participating kingdoms, Tulip Kingdom isn’t last or at the bottom, it certainly isn’t at the top either.

"Grand Duke Kalenina, how many kingdoms have been confirmed to participate in the core competition?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Deeply inhaling a breath, a figure couldn’t help but speak. That belonged to Skodar.

"Currently, fourteen are confirmed."

"Details are yet uncertain, but no more than twenty kingdoms at most."

"Aside from the Macedonian Kingdom, Saki Kingdom, and Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, other strong contenders include the Greenfield Kingdom, Divine Wood Kingdom, and Sela Kingdom."

"Among them, as you’re aware, the Purple Gold Flower Kingdom has seven at Half-Step Sanctuary, over ten at Sky Knight Peak, Macedonian Kingdom, Divine Wood Kingdom are similar to Purple Gold Flower Kingdom, Saki Kingdom and Greenfield Kingdom are a little weaker but have six at Half-Step Sanctuary. The strongest currently known is the Sela Kingdom, with ten at Half-Step Sanctuary."

The elder spoke slowly, revealing the information that made the figures present shiver.

Among the fourteen kingdoms able to participate in the final contest, six kingdoms were stronger than Tulip, and the remaining eight weren’t necessarily weaker. Most even if not as strong as the previous six, were almost comparable to Tulip.

Only by including the Dressrosa family, could their strength possibly exceed other kingdoms, second only to those six kingdoms.
