Fortunately, at this time, a special figure joined the ranks of the rebel army, completely resolving Enrico's troubles.

Death Knight Hades Hain.

In any country, a Sword Saint is a sacred symbol of national protection, an object of reverence and trust among the people. However, in this regard, the Dark Sword Saints of the Viking Empire are quite special. Whether in Viking or its vassal states, the impression of them is a mix of awe and fear. Unlike ordinary Sword Saints, the masters of this lineage not only master quite sinister deadly techniques but also have a history of sneak attacks and ambushes, earning them not a very good reputation, with titles like "Sacred Domain Assassin" and "Ghost Sword Saint."

Although this title is not pleasant to hear, for Enrico at this time, it was the most important reinforcement.

A cunning Sword Saint is the best candidate to bear all the notoriety. All negative schemes can be attributed to him, and no one dares to criticize or blame a Sword Saint. Even Enrico's adoption of these schemes could be blamed on the Sword Saint's coercion, and no one would condemn his submission.

Throughout the process, only Hades, the Sword Saint, suffered a loss of reputation. However, this young Sword Saint, who bears the title "Death Knight," paid no heed to such things. With his country destroyed and his family lost, he has only one wish in his heart: to vent his fury on all the orcs and completely annihilate their forces. For this goal, not only his reputation but even his life is something he wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice. Thus, a duo of dark and cunning actors was formed, and the orcs suffered continuous losses due to their presence. Although the orcs' foundation was not shaken, a large number of their forces were tied down.

However, now, the pair of young leaders of the rebel army also have to face troublesome issues.

"Has yours come today?"

"It's coming soon, what about yours?"

"Mine seems to be coming soon too... what a hassle..."

"Yeah, it's always a few days, last time I was bleeding non-stop..."

On a ruined castle, two black-clad youths were chatting with a look of frustration, their expressions resembling those of girls during that time of the month.

Resemble? Yes, just resemble, because soon, the targets they were waiting for appeared.

A flash of light appeared on the horizon, and two streams of golden and white light appeared in the youths' vision. Before long, they arrived above the dilapidated castle.

The golden light came from a golden-winged eagle youth. Besides the pair of wings naturally born to the Golden Eagle tribe, he had ten additional radiant golden light wings. "Twelve wings in total" is the manifestation of the eagle tribe's ultimate combat energy, the "Sky Roc Soaring Art," when one reaches the Sword Emperor level.

Qigefei, once known as the orc prodigy and a master of both magic and martial arts, has now grown into a true air combat king capable of standing alone in the flames of war, earning the title "Eagle King."

The white light, however, came from a beautiful golden-haired human girl. She exuded a dense, almost tangible aura of divine energy, clad in a set of bizarrely shaped, magnificent armor, with six snow-white light wings spread behind her. This was Jin Luosha, who had become a Sword Saint. Since breaking through the Holy Domain in the battle of the South Sea, she has truly become a legendary master of magic, divine abilities, and martial arts, all reaching great heights, and has officially announced her existence to the world under the name "Saint Spirit Knight."

The combination of 'Eagle King' and 'Saint Spirit Knight' has been a major thorn in Enrico and Hades's side.

Although Chen Xuanfeng, in order to delay the orc king's advance to the Saint Spirit Mountain, used one of his remaining strongest dark magic, the ninth-level dark secret spell "Mirage Dream World," to create an illusion and send the Black Crystal Bone Dragon to Enrico, he did not intend to let Enrico grow unchecked. Therefore, as soon as the mage apprentice's forces grew stronger, he sent masters to contain him, ensuring that while his reputation soared, he would not cause truly uncontrollable harm to the orc forces.

Although Chen Xuanfeng himself needed to guard the southeastern front, suppressing the young Sword Saints and the Dragon Emperor Knights of the Sacred Dragon Mountain, he could still send masters to intervene in the changes on the northwestern battlefield thousands of miles away.

The first to undertake this task was the Golden Eagle Sword Emperor Qigefei.

The eagle tribe's ultimate skill, known as the "Sky Roc Soaring Art," which can chase the sun and moon, possesses the world's fastest long-range aerial mobility, making it most suitable for containing the flying Black Crystal Bone Dragon. Although Qigefei had just become a Sword Emperor and had not fully tapped into the potential of a master at this level, with his wind magic expertise and the magical weapon "Star Catastrophe Sword" specially given to him by Chen Xuanfeng, which allows for teleportation, he was more than capable of contending with the super magical beast-level Black Crystal Bone Dragon.

He did not engage Enrico in decisive battles but instead periodically came to fight, each time engaging in guerrilla warfare that lasted for days, leaving both sides scarred and severely delaying Enrico's military actions. At that time, only the Black Crystal Bone Dragon in Enrico's army could withstand Qigefei in aerial combat, so naturally, the battles between the two dragged on endlessly. The entire rebel army regarded Enrico as a savior, while Qigefei successfully completed his containment mission.

Later, when Hades, the young Sword Saint, joined the rebel army and unexpectedly severely wounded Qigefei, if it weren't for his lack of flying ability, he might have even been able to kill this important general of the orc forces.

Naturally, Chen Xuanfeng did not ignore this change and soon sent Jin Luosha to the front lines. Thus, the battle of light versus darkness, holy spear clashing with demon sword, erupted once more as if fated. Hades, heir to the Viking Empire's Sword Saint lineage, was naturally a martial arts genius with rich experience, far surpassing Jin Luosha, who had just become a Sword Saint. He was also skilled in assassination techniques, making his combat prowess extremely formidable. However, although Jin Luosha's martial arts talent was unremarkable, she possessed powerful magic and divine abilities, effectively neutralizing the dark Sword Saint lineage's necromancy. Additionally, Jin Luosha, emulating the method of "Knight of the Flame Phoenix" Morova, transformed her super phantom creature "Holy Angel Sijaraite" into her battle armor, greatly boosting her combat power. Each time they clashed, she could gain significant advantages, inadvertently serving as a stepping stone for Jin Luosha to hone her combat skills.
