The opponent maintained a position of punching from the side, deflecting the electromagnetic cannon together with the [Holy Lance].

Margaret’s hand holding the gun trembled slightly, Grover’s somewhat scorched fist quickly restored to its original state, neither gaining much advantage nor suffering much loss.

Byron’s gaze was somewhat peculiar:

"Is this the Blessing of Immortality from the strongest existing Zero-Level Sacred Relic [Golden Ark of the Covenant] in the hands of the Church? No less than high-level Black Sorcery or even the Authority of gods."

[Sacred Fist] Grover was not only a Holy Knight but also a powerful Ascetic Monk, from the group who invented ’Flow State’, allowing mortals to progressively enhance the realms of the mind.

Due to his own devotion, ascetic practices, and a series of strict vows, he received the blessing of the [Golden Ark of the Covenant]:

"Cannot die in the day, nor can die at night, cannot die indoors, nor outdoors.

Cannot die on the ground, nor in the air, cannot be harmed by animals, nor by humans, cannot die by weapons nor by bare hands.

In the end, he will calmly return to the creator’s embrace as time passes."

This treasure is composed of the original Law documents [Holy Word Tablets] recording the ’Ten Commandments of God and Man’, along with the Golden Chest, forming the core of the entire Silver Law, with an extremely high rank.

Even if Byron holds a [Nether River], facing such enemies is still a tricky situation. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Taking them down might not be a huge problem, but casualties will definitely be significant, and it would draw the Orthodox Church’s fire at this already difficult moment, which is indeed a loss.

The two Holy Knight Grand Masters exchanged a move with Byron, seemingly hit with a realization, acknowledging Byron’s strength is no less than their own.

Moreover, the entire North Sea Circle is already occupied by their people.

With a command, countless Navy and Army forces would form a steel torrent to completely drown them.

With just the two of them and Margaret I, they are clearly unable to change the fact of North Sea Empire’s reunification.

This "mutual fear" situation didn’t last long.

Suddenly Byron heard the warning from Dagon of [Abyssal Feast]:

"Chief God, just now the pseudo-god [Chaos Beast Horde] from Blood Beast Nest sent me a message.

It said the collective unconscious of North Sea Empire has suddenly shown signs of unification, and the stability is greatly increasing, we cannot wait any longer.

We must have all sects enter a state of war readiness, they are about to launch the ’Dragon Court Collapse Plan’, and we need to await the signal to act."

Meanwhile, the Law Network resonated.

Byron and the two Grand Masters received messages from intelligence personnel:

"Report, [Noah’s Ark] suddenly arrived earlier at the predetermined location at the North Sea Border but immediately returned towards the Sea of Monsters.

Many High Sequence Extraordinary Beings from various countries waiting there were caught off guard and already followed.

The seagull messenger sent to the far sea discovered that the scale of the unprecedented fourth Beast Tide has surged to the sea surface and is swiftly approaching the First Island Chain.

Among them are Kin commanders and new colonial fleets."

Byron’s heart sank.

Reality is not a game, any move from our side could provoke counter measures from the enemy.

The Blood Beast Nest leading the attack clearly did not give them the chance to restructure the military and political system of North Sea Empire, slowly weaving the Five Bay States into a single force.

They must seize this unstable moment and completely capture this land.

Realizing the North Sea Empire is already busy with its own affairs, the task target [Noah’s Ark] is about to prematurely depart.

The two Grand Masters erupted in Holy Light, merging into one, gathering their knights and the discouraged Margaret I, with a silver star breaking through the sky.

Coldly leaving a sentence:

"His Majesty the Frenzied Hunt King, Her Majesty the War Queen, our primary task is to seize [Noah’s Ark], we don’t have time to trouble the two of you.

The matter of North Sea Empire ends here, Saints will naturally decide for [Evernight Queen] later.

Of course, you should first pray to the creator that you can survive this Beast Tide."

The other three wanted to obstruct, at least leave Margaret I, but were stopped by Byron:

"Let them go.

Dare to chase [Noah’s Ark], my Underworld Authority can already foresee their Death Omen Star."

Then with a wave of his hand, in front of the Law Network over a hundred avatars of senior military officers from the Five Bay States projected, he ordered them:

"Order: All Bayfolk, First-Level War Readiness!

Everyone, Bayfolk have stood here for a thousand years, now it’s our turn to carry the future of the Empire."

Crack!

The generals showed intense fervor, collectively standing and saluting:

"Yes, Your Majesty! Vow to live and die with the position!"
