Chapter 1664
Chapter 1623: Humans! Monsters!
King Bradley saying he wasn't weak wasn't a joke.
He was actually acting under the orders of the Forty-Seventh King of the Alchemy Kingdom in the Imperial Arms World.
He was secretly one of the 'Anger' among the 'Seven Deadly Sins' who joined the Star Realm Army.
The so-called 'Seven Deadly Sins'.
They were Imperial Arms created by the Royal Family of the Alchemy Kingdom about a thousand years ago to resist the Qin Empire.
They were seven Artificial Humans with the strongest strength, secretly developed using the Philosopher's Stone and Alchemy.
Each of them was comparable to biological humanoid Imperial Arms like Susanoo.
Therefore, for a long time, they had served as the trump card of the Royal Family of the Alchemy Kingdom.
The current Forty-Seventh King required King Bradley to climb step by step within the Star Realm Army until he reached the position of 'Marshal'.
This requirement was very difficult, but the Forty-Seventh King was very confident.
Because 'Anger' of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' was the most unique aspect.
Each generation of 'Anger' was selected from a group of orphans cultivated by the Royal Family.
They would receive strict and systemic elite education, including mathematics, swordsmanship, archery, combat, military strategy, alchemy, and even the Art of Kingship.
After reaching adulthood, the Philosopher's Stone would be injected into them in sequence.
And the person who could withstand the rejection reaction and not die would be the new 'Anger'.
They would then serve as the King's assistant to manage the entire kingdom.
They would also be the commander leading the army to resist the Great Army of the Qin Empire.
And the unique aspect was that although 'Anger' was called an 'Artificial Human'.
Essentially, they were still human.
Therefore, they had a lifespan limit, would age and die, and even had normal feelings.
This prevented outsiders from having doubt about them.
Not long after King Bradley became the new 'Anger', he was recommended by the Forty-Seventh King to the Star Realm Army to carry out this plan, which he wasn't sure if it counted as a conspiracy.
But he did possess the ability to contend for the position of 'Marshal'.
Five years ago, at the age of nineteen, he was a newly joined soldier.
Because of the recommendation from Alkemi the Forty-Seventh, he was able to skip two ranks and start directly as a private first class.
Five years later, at the age of twenty-four, he was already a Colonel, allowed to lead a Heavy Composite Brigade.
King Bradley's next target was to become a Lieutenant General before the age of thirty and command an Army Group of a certain constellation!
By then, he would have enough qualification to reveal his hand to the World Government.
Requesting the removal of the Philosopher's Stone in his left eye that constantly threatened his life.
Completely breaking free from the control of the Royal Family of the Alchemy Kingdom.
Allowing himself, his newly married wife, and his future child to live a safer life.
The Forty-Seventh King would never have thought that the object of King Bradley's 'Anger' in his heart was himself.
After all, the thoughts of every previous generation of 'Anger' had been successfully brainwashed.
This was also the reason why King Bradley was preparing to personally go into battle at this moment.
To constantly get promotion, he must have a sufficiently impressive record.
Once Alucard broke through the Magic Barrier and caused excessive destruction to the Base.
It would become the first Heavy Composite Brigade in the history of the Star Realm Army to be captured.
It would definitely be a stain that would be ridiculed for a long time.
After all, others wouldn't care about the reason.
King Bradley would not allow such a matter to happen.
So, he had to take advantage of the Magic Barrier not being completely broken.
He would stop Alucard outside the Base and delay until the support of the Greedy Wolf Star Unit arrived.
Even if it meant exposing his true strength!
Anyway, this kind of thing could be explained in any way.
Moreover, he was already the brigade commander of the Heavy Composite Brigade.
It would be difficult for the Otherworld Strategy Committee to transfer him to the Greedy Wolf Star Unit.
By then, he would emphasize his hope to stay in the Star Realm Army.
This was also the truth.
King Bradley indeed preferred to stay in the Star Realm Army.
Rather than the Greedy Wolf Star Unit, which seemingly had a higher status.
He was even unwilling to go to the Army Headquarters.
Because he understood clearly that he couldn't climb up at all in the Army Headquarters.
Spending a lifetime there, he would probably be at most an unremarkable Lieutenant General.
In the Shadow Space, Alucard had already sealed the strength of his Release again.
He was preparing to retreat and find a way to capture a soldier alive before leaving.
But just as he was about to move, he 'saw' a one-eyed man wearing blue pants, paired with a white shirt on his upper body, but with his sleeves rolled up, holding a long sword in both hands, suddenly walk out of thin air from inside the Base enveloped by illusion.
"Lord, who is suspected to be a vampire, I am the commander of this unit, Star Realm Army Colonel King Bradley. Do you dare to show yourself and meet?"
"Oh?"
Alucard was startled for a moment. He truly didn't expect the other party to actually dare to run out.
The key was that he didn't know the Wind Stone Tower's magic power in the Base didn't have much left.
King Bradley also didn't know that Alucard planned to leave.
It truly was coincidence upon coincidence.
The next moment.
King Bradley saw the shadow under a streetlight on the road to the right spreading out in distortion.
At the same time, thick blood like magma surged out from the bottomless darkness.
This caused the nearby Star Realm Soldiers to hastily turn their muzzles.
But they heard King Bradley order: "Stop, retreat back into the Base immediately!"
The Soldiers looked at each other, feeling troubled, but ultimately obeyed the order and quickly retreated into the Base, their figures disappearing into thin air.
"Hehehehehe... To dare to face hell alone, commendable courage, human."
Alucard's laughter echoed back and forth in the night.
That pair of scarlet gaze sized up King Bradley.
At the same time, the streetlight behind him was devoured by the blood color, transforming into a ferocious Baskerville Blood Hound surrounding him, baring its fangs and claws. Drops of saliva dripped onto the ground, making sizzling corrosion sounds.
Facing such a terrifying scene, King Bradley's expression didn't change, and he met it with a cold gaze.
"Hell?"
"Merely a vampire, truly boastful."
"Moreover, even if it were true hell, the Star Realm Army would still massively invade."
He spoke these words forcefully and resonantly, without concealing the confidence and pride in his heart.
The Star Realm Army had fought their way into the Netherworld of the Demons.
What could hell do?
"Star Realm Army..." Alucard whispered softly, repeating the word: "Are you truly aliens from the universe?"
Now it was King Bradley's turn to raise an eyebrow, then he suddenly understood.
Indeed, for the nations of this world, 'alien' should be the best explanation they could understand.
"The truth of the matter is, when the time comes, you will naturally know everything."
"All I can say for now is... our arrival is both luck and misfortune for you..."
King Bradley finished speaking meaningfully, then suddenly raised the dual blades in his hands. Their sword edge radiated cold light in all directions under the illumination of the moonlight.
"Lord, do you want to fight, or not fight?"
Alucard chuckled softly: "Hehehehehe, but I haven't introduced myself yet."
King Bradley replied: "Don't worry about it, I never demand human etiquette from a monster."
"Well said!"
Alucard was not surprised but instead delighted.
The next second.
Two thirteen millimeter caliber pistols, one black and one white, with a total length of thirty-nine centimeters, suddenly appeared in his hands. He fired rapidly at King Bradley.
He now wanted to see if this human's strength matched his eloquence and courage.
And just as Alucard raised his gun.
King Bradley's left eye flickered with red light, and he transformed into a blurry afterimage, launching a charge.
A gunshot rang out!
Immediately after, the sword slashed the bullet! Sparks flew everywhere!
Clang——————
While using the sturdy gun body to block the sword edge, Alucard looked on in surprise at King Bradley before him.
"Can you kill me, human?"
The latter was expressionless, his gaze was cold: "I will make you learn awe, monster."
