Compared to before, Gustav's momentum has significantly declined.

His body surface is covered in fine scars, carved out by the mutants with blades, swords, and even sharp fangs and claws.

When Marshal Horn was attacked just now, Gustav was really anxious because Marshal Horn was the only general who could succeed him in commanding the Blood Ring Army. Additionally, Marshal Horn's strength at the Enhanced Leader Level was also Gustav's right-hand man!

If Marshal Horn were to die, Gustav would undoubtedly find himself in a situation where he couldn't manage things alone.

Therefore, Gustav exerted all his strength, trying to kill the mutants besieging him.

However, no matter how strong Emperor Gustav was, he was still just one person.

In his Blood Rage state, his "Fighting Qi Slash" killed seven or eight mutant monsters, but then seventeen or eighteen new mutant monsters rushed forward!

It was a seemingly endless battle!

Gustav could only watch helplessly as Marshal Horn was slain, and in his anger, he could only vent his rage on the mutants obstructing him.

When Bai Pu stood in front of Gustav, Gustav still held his head high, regarding others with a condescending "looking down from the chin" attitude. He said lightly:

"All the mutants you can control have been killed by me. Soon, I'll send you to Hell!"

Bai Pu asked, "Gustav, how much Fighting Qi energy do you have left? Is it thirty percent or fifty percent?"

Without waiting for Gustav to answer, Bai Pu continued on his own, "At the start, you consumed a lot of Blood Fighting Qi opposing my domain, and later I fled south, relying on the influence of the Flesh and Blood Plague Mother to save a lot of Fighting Qi consumption!

"Unlike you, I escaped, killing a large number of mutant monsters, continuously depleting your Fighting Qi! Just now, I commanded two groups of mutants to besiege you, and to kill them, you further exhausted a huge amount of Blood Fighting Qi! Now, although you haven't suffered significant damage, your Fighting Qi energy is undoubtedly running low!"

Gustav looked dignified, but internally he felt the desolation of being cornered.

He only had twenty percent of his Blood Fighting Qi left!

After all, Gustav was just a Mid-level Lord, not yet reaching the Advanced Lord level.

However, Gustav's appearance revealed nothing, and he said coldly, "Ridiculous, meaningless speculation. In my Blood Ring Domain, even with only ten percent Blood Fighting Qi left, killing you is as easy as child's play!"

"What about if you include me?"

Not far away, another voice full of authority, carrying a metallic ring, resounded.

Immediately, another light blue domain erupted, clashing head-on with Gustav's Blood Ring Domain.

[You have been influenced by the Eagle Domain of Frederick William, Commander of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Army, with an increase in attack speed by (30) points and movement speed by (20) points.]

[The Eagle Domain and the Blood Ring Domination Domain are in a state of confrontation. Both have the same priority level, canceling out 50% of each other's effects!]

Bai Pu effectively gained 15 points in attack speed and 10 points in movement speed, while losing 5 points in Power, 3 in Agility, 7 in Endurance, and 2 in Spirit.

These two domain skills each had their own focus, with Duke William providing substantial speed bonuses to allies, while Emperor Gustav was a balanced offensive and defensive type, enhancing allies' attributes while weakening enemies'.

In terms of strength, Emperor Gustav's Blood Ring Domination Domain is still superior.

Bai Pu also unleashed his Blood River Fighting Qi, casting the professional skill [Blood River Territory]!

Under the sweeping Blood River Illusion, overlapping with the light blue Eagle Domain, they resisted Gustav's Blood Ring Domination Domain together.

Gustav's weakening and enhancement further reduced by 25%, while his body felt heavy, under the influence of the Gravity Field, he fell into a slowed state with a 21-point speed reduction!

"Duke William, resolve Gustav quickly! My Fighting Qi won't last much longer." Bai Pu gripped the Chainsaw Greatsword with both hands, "I will help you block all of Gustav's attacks!"

If not for Duke William, Bai Pu would continue to drive the Blood Ring Mutants to besiege Gustav, yet he chose to intervene actively, blocking Gustav's attacks to create space for the Blood Ring Mutants to deal damage.

Now, with the more powerful Duke William, Bai Pu didn't need to waste a third Control Curse Seal Scroll.

Besides, with a native involved in the attack, it's hard to say whether Duke William or the hundreds of mutants caused more "Treasure Box Contamination".

Bai Pu holds no hopes for the Lord's Treasure Chest, as the evolution of the Spider Demon Tower Shield into a Dark Gold Shield is a guaranteed benefit, so there's no need to worry too much about other things.

Listening to Bai Pu's "command", Duke William nodded slightly.

He was originally an Agility Specialization Lord, focusing on sustained high physical output, but his survivability was somewhat weaker, which led to his defeat by Gustav on the Malmö battlefield.

Now with Bai Pu shielding in front, Duke William could attack without restraint.

As for whether Bai Pu can block Gustav...

Just from Bai Pu's display of this budding domain skill [Blood River Territory], Duke William assessed that Bai Pu's strength had greatly increased, looking at him in a new light.

Because within the Gravity Field, Duke William felt his body light and his speed unexpectedly boosted by 21 points!

Duke William already had an Agility of 110 points, along with footwork skills to increase movement speed, now with a 21-point speed increase, what does that signify?

It's practically ghostly swift, comparable to a Level 7 Agility Type Lord!

One second he was on Gustav's left wing, the next he sidestepped to Gustav's right side! Duke William launched attacks from all directions, with the Vulture Eagle Sword emitting countless silver sword shadows, completely enveloping Gustav!

In an instant, blood trickled out in little streams from Gustav's body surface.

However, Gustav's life force was immensely powerful, caring little for these attacks, as he slammed the Golden Heavy Shield onto the ground with a mighty shout, spreading a terrifying shockwave.

[Ring of Shock]!

This skill was an enhanced version of [Ring of Shock] that Bai Pu's deceased slave Luz possessed, capable not only of slowing effects but also temporarily stunning nearby enemies!

Gustav immediately followed up with a lightning-fast sword thrust.

But this time, a Chainsaw Greatsword from below came up with a reverse slash, sending Gustav's Broadsword flying high, abruptly interrupting what would have been a powerful strike!

"Hmm? You can actually block my attack!"

Gustav shot a glance at Bai Pu in disbelief, sensing a noticeable change in Bai Pu's aura, becoming more agile and swift.

"Against you, a shield is more of a hindrance." Bai Pu smiled, gripping the greatsword with both hands.

In the presence of a shield, Bai Pu's Combat Specialization was a combination of one-handed and two-handed Swordsmanship, roughly advanced to Level 6, this while counting the Limit Breaker +1 level.

Now, wielding a sword with both hands, Bai Pu's Advanced Level 8 Swordsmanship was in no way inferior to Gustav!

Moreover, just now, Bai Pu had played another trump card, injecting a drop of Pure Blood into himself, gaining 12 points in Free Attributes, all converted to Basic Agility!

His Basic Agility increased to 30 points, meeting the activation requirement for the [Blood Wing Cloak].

The [Blood Wing Cloak], previously just an "accessory" draped over Bai Pu's back due to insufficient Basic Attributes, finally activated its attribute bonuses, further increasing Bai Pu's Agility by 7 points!
