"I will give you an unexpected reward."

Aurek planned to combine the Elemental Assassin network with the Violet Rose Trade Guild's network, extending it across the entire Eura continent, and even into the realms beyond.

The Violet Rose Trade Guild was an auction house, and Natasha was well-versed in business operations.

By entrusting her with the public management, while having the Elemental Assassin act in the shadows, they could not only gather intelligence from all sides but also execute assassination missions at will, maximizing the value of the Elemental Assassins.

Especially on the future battlefields beyond, the Elemental Assassins would play an irreplaceable role.

At that time, the Violet Rose Trade Guild would also become a full-fledged part of the empire.

Natasha's eyes brightened.

She leaned slightly against the edge of the map, her posture elegant, embodying her perfect curves.

Tilting her head, her voice carried a lazy tone mixed with anticipation.

"Well then… I look forward to it."

...

Tylus Continent Border

Pippin led the Imperial Knights, deployed along the border, confronting the grandmaster rank legion of the Selene Empire.

The remaining Stellar rank warriors from the battle at Oracle Mountain were also on the frontlines.

Additionally, one hundred God Fire rank titans were advancing from the direction of the Kawa River, entering the Selene Empire's border.

It was clear to everyone that Aurek intended to put pressure on Empress Elizabeth, possibly aiming to deal with this ally-turned-potential rival once and for all.

However, just then,

A strange, ominous glowing mandrake appeared, sweeping across and suddenly landing in front of the one hundred God Fire rank titans.

The mandrake emanated dark red divine runes, and its eerie force field temporarily halted the advance of the hundred titans.

In the void, Suvorov stood, watching.

His long hair fluttered in the energy flow, and his sharp gaze remained locked on the strange mandrake.

It wasn't a dead object; it was a living, powerful natural spirit!

"Tell your Aurek to hear this,"

Xiang Nanyu's voice echoed over the Kawa River.

"Empress Elizabeth has enough strength and qualifications to be an ally of the Crossbridge Empire, not a testable vassal. Such actions will only damage the trust between our two nations."

"We hope the Crossbridge Empire will honor the spirit of the alliance!"

At the same time,

Powerful elven shadows appeared over the Kawa River's upper stream and the Goldflow Bay border!

"Divine Cleric rank beings!"

From the direction of Goldflow Bay, Tina watched this scene in surprise, her mind filled with questions.

If the Selene Empire had Divine Cleric-level strength, why had they allied with the Crossbridge Empire?

Why hadn't they used this power to unify the Eastern Domain earlier?

Suvorov pondered for a moment, then issued an order to have the hundred God Fire rank titans temporarily retreat.

He then turned and returned to Eryndor City.

...

Bilarmesa Forest, outside the ruins of White Wing Abbey.

Figures cloaked in swirling black mist silently observed the scene ahead, where the two God Fire rank titans and other special attribute legions had just cleansed the remnants of White Wing Abbey.

These figures were none other than the fourteen Shadow Guilds of the Shadow Clan.

"Shall we test the strength of these two big guys?"

Shadow Guild Six suggested, his voice scraping like metal.

Shadow Guild Five let out a cold laugh.

"We'll have to clear the Bilarmesa Forest sooner or later, might as well engage them now and gauge Crossbridge Empire's strength."

"Let's take these two down first, and see what they're made of."

The shadows silently agreed.

In the next instant, five figures shot forward—Shadow Guilds Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten!

The two God Fire rank titans immediately sensed the threat, swiftly turning around.

Their hundred-meter-tall bodies shot up like towering mountains, glaring fiercely at the incoming attackers.

"These big guys are pretty alert!"

Shadow Guild Five's voice sounded ominous.

He unleashed thick black magical energy, instantly enveloping the two titans in a space of dark fog.

Within the mist, abyssal power runes lit up, rapidly drawing in surrounding energy.

In an instant, this energy was condensed into a terrifying magical pressure, transforming into massive handprints that slammed toward the two titans.

"Big guys, is that what you call us?!"

One of the titans roared, his eyes wide with fury as he swung a Star Breaking Punch toward the front.

Boom!

The black mist and space shattered under the pure force of the punch.

The magical handprints also disintegrated.

The resulting shockwave caused the black mist surrounding Shadow Guild Five to thin out.

The titan strode forward, throwing another punch across the space!

The punch tore through the air, sending sparks of energy flying like a comet aimed at Shadow Guild Five.

The pure and extreme power caused the space before him to crack open with deep fissures.

Shadow Guild Five quickly dodged backward!

Another deafening boom echoed as the fist smashed into the spot where he had just been, sending a ripple through the space at speeds faster than Shadow Guild Five's evasion, instantly sending him flying.

The titan quickly pursued, each step causing the ground to shake like an earthquake.

The other four Shadow Guild members attempted to block, but another God Fire rank titan immediately stepped forward.

His fists, brimming with divine power, smashed out powerful fist prints, firmly blocking the four Shadow Guild members.

His companion then caught up with the flying Shadow Guild Five, delivering another devastating punch.

This punch didn't even need to directly hit; just striking the space around Shadow Guild Five sent a shockwave powerful enough to slam him into a shattered void.

"Dark pests, let me smash you to pieces!"

The titan continued his barrage of fists, hammering away at the space, breaking it into more and more fragments.

The space couldn't repair itself fast enough to keep up with the destruction.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed from the ruins, the voice belonging to Shadow Guild Five.

The magical black mist turned into a defensive shield, desperately trying to resist, while the energy of the world continued to pour into the wreckage, attempting to heal his wounds.

"Like to ambush us?!"

"Calling us big guys?!"

The titan intensified his strikes.

Shadow Guild Five curled up in the void's ruins, trembling.

Each punch broke apart more of his black mist, until finally, the outline of a skinny young figure began to show through.

His magical body started to crumble, unable to withstand the violent onslaught.

He could no longer wait for reinforcements from his four companions, who were already being pummeled by another titan!

It felt as though he had angered two mindless brutes, and there was no stopping it until one of them was destroyed.

...

"This power is terrifying… It seems we underestimated the Crossbridge Empire."

At the edge of the forest, several figures with holy halos above them watched the scene unfold.

One figure, dressed in black with long, flowing hair, spoke in a low voice.

"Energy level around God Fire rank five, but this battle intent and power even make me feel pressured."

"Does General Mac mean they are strong enough to fight with you?"

A middle-aged man in a purple hat looked at the figure in black with surprise.

This man was the top God General of the Anglian Empire in the Central Domain, a God Fire rank eight powerhouse!

One of the empire's greatest pillars, a peak existence in the Central Domain, with extraordinary battle strength!

Now, he felt pressure from just two titans.
