"At that time, General Miriam, along with General Floss and I, headed east at the same time. It took three months of war to recapture all the lost land and drive Dobia's army back to the other end of the Continental Bridge. Next, the war between our empire and Dobia will return to the tug of war on the Continental Bridge. Right now, the empire had invested 300,000 troops in Furnace City, and 100,000 troops were stationed in Hell Castle and Steel City, forming an extremely deep and wide line of defense. Dobia wants to go deep into the empire like last time. Unless the Black Emperor personally leads the army again, it is absolutely impossible. "
After Bali finished speaking, Spenak chuckled from the shadows, "Frius is not an idiot. Last time, he attacked me while I was asleep in order to establish his might. Now that I'm awake, it's no good for him to do it again. That kid is very shrewd. He can't imagine doing such a thankless thing. "
Spenak added, "Bali, our war with Dobia is actually meaningless in the eyes of Frius and me. But even so, neither I nor he has any intention of ending the war. Do you know why? "
Bali did not rely purely on his martial arts to climb to the position of Grand Superintendent. He still had some brains. Since Spenak pointed out that war was meaningless, he thought in this direction and came to a conclusion. However, he did not dare to say this conclusion. He pretended to be stupid and shook his head, "This subordinate does not know."
"You know, but you don't dare to say it." "It's for internal friction," Spenak said in a deep voice.
"Our Baltic genes can fuse with other foreign genes in an almost perfect way to give birth to brand new descendants. It is no exaggeration to say that our evolution has not stopped for a moment since the birth of the first Barbarian in Agares. However, this form of life cannot be said to be without drawbacks. I think you know how short the reproductive cycle of Baltic women is. Every year, a large number of babies are born on this planet, and our growth cycle is equally short. "It takes eighteen years for humans to reach adulthood. We only need seven years!" "There are many times when I even suspect that this race is a weapon of life," Spenak said with a hint of emotion in his tone. With the ability to evolve infinitely and a very short period of reproduction and growth, it can be said that the Balts have been preparing for battle since the moment they were born. "
"Bloodthirsty and aggressive is the nature of almost every Baltic. We are a race full of aggression, and war is our duty. Then came all kinds of problems, the most serious of which was Agares' resources. " The voice in the shadow became heavy. "Agares is not a resource-rich planet. Perhaps we have rare things that other planets do not have, such as Abyss Crystals. If we use the entire planet as a reference, our resources are still too poor. Such a barren planet cannot support the explosive growth of the Baltic population. "
At this point, there was no need for Spenak to continue.
It was for this reason that the two Supreme Martial Artists knew that the war was meaningless, but neither side was willing to stop it. If they did not rely on war to deplete the lives of the Balts, then sooner or later the population would cause the entire planet to lose balance. At the same time, the interstellar defense line that Adahua Planet had established in the Yordon Domain with many advanced races in the universe prevented the Barbarians from moving their excess population to other planets. That was the reason for the current situation.
Just as Bali was pondering over the deeper meaning behind Spenak's words, the Demon King in the shadow suddenly said, "I'm going to meet Frius."
The Grand Superintendent's entire body trembled as he looked at the shadow with burning flames in his eyes. At this moment, he no longer cared about etiquette. That fervent gaze seemed to see through the shadow. Unfortunately, Spenak did not continue. Instead, he pointed to a place on the map. That was the northern border of the Demonic Shadow Empire, separated by the desert of the Hill of Death and the Great Wasteland.
"Your Majesty?"
"I want you to guard the stronghold of Mokedan." The Demon King in the shadow said, "Not long ago, I discovered that the curtain of time in the Forgotten Realm had suddenly been removed. This is very unusual. I don't know what will happen to the Forgotten Realm or the Great Wasteland, so I need you to guard the gate of the empire for me. "
Bali said solemnly, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Set off immediately and bring three thousand Berserk Shadow Army with you."
Bali narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something, but in the end, he nodded his head and left the Shadow Hall.
The two scarlet dots in the shadows were still facing the map on the long platform. An iron gloved hand stretched out from the shadows, and Spenak pointed at the map from afar. The map immediately moved towards the east, and the light on the stone platform changed in a complicated manner. When it finally stopped, a three-dimensional model of a city appeared in Spenak's line of sight.
That was Sunset City.
"It's time to meet, Frius. I'm afraid that's what you're looking forward to, right? "
Adahua Planet, Golden City.
A long whistling sound came from high up in the sky, startling a few birds on the elegant windowsill. The startled bird flew away from the windowsill, and a snow-white feather mixed with a few golden threads floated down from mid-air, quietly lying on the windowsill.
Lucy looked at the feather and said to a silver bracelet on the table beside her, "Go, get it for me. I'm missing a bookmark."
The silver bracelet suddenly twisted. It was clearly made of metal, but it twisted and deformed like mercury, turning into a silver spider. With a swift stroke of his silver feet he climbed up to the window-sill and brought the gold-and-white feather to Lucy. Lucy put the feather on the book she was reading and closed it. She rubbed her eyebrows, looking very tired. She simply put her head on the book and looked out of the window in a daze.
Outside the window, the sound of a starship breaking through the air rang out.
"Your Highness, I suggest you go home and have a good sleep. I heard you've been in the library for three days." A slightly reproachful voice sounded.
Lucy looked up and saw someone walking in from outside the library. He wore a clean white robe with a scale pattern embroidered on his chest with golden thread. The man with a code in his hand strode over to Lucy.
"Link?" Lucy jumped up and said in surprise, "Didn't I hear you went to the surface province?"
"It just so happens that I've been on vacation recently, so I came back to see you. I should have come a long time ago, if I knew what that bastard Franco had done." Link's face was still serious and unsmiling.
Last time, Franco wanted to do something to Lucy on the white arch bridge outside the library, but he was forced back by the Golden Rose. When Orfasis learned of this, he was extremely furious. Franco was arrested that day and sent to Planet Bianhammer three days later. Even his father was demoted by three levels. Orfasis' anger made everyone in the court see his determination to protect Lucy. It also made some people who originally had the same thoughts as Franco have no choice but to focus on the banquet. Lucy's position in the emperor's heart.
Some people also thought that the emperor was actually protecting the Golden Rose, but no matter which one it was, after Franco's incident, no one dared to provoke Lucy. Orfasis also ordered Marquis Marrus, who was in charge of the palace's security, to find a suitable personal guard for Lucy. Although Lucy said she didn't need it, Orfasis insisted so Lucy had to give up.
When Link returned to the City of Gold and heard that Franco had done such a thing, he was so angry that he almost went to find trouble with that bastard. He only stopped when he heard that Franco had been sent to exile. However, he immediately inquired about Lucy's whereabouts and did not rush over.
Lucy shook her head and sat down. "I can protect myself."
Link looked at her, pushed up his glasses and said, "He promised me to protect you, but now …"
"It's not Allen's fault." Lucy shrugged. "He didn't know he was the son of dusk at that time."
"Then, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?"
Link sighed and sat down beside her. "I don't want to be a villain in vain, but I have to advise you. Allen can't change the fact that he's the son of dusk. Even if he hasn't fully awakened, he's still a time bomb. His Majesty can let him go for you and promise to turn a blind eye as long as he doesn't awaken, but can the others do the same? They can't do it, including me. Even though I'm sitting here right now, I still think Allen is a threat. "
"A potential threat."
"If you don't give up on him, one day, you will still be forced to stand against the Emperor."
Lucy shook her head. "How can I give up on him?"
"I can't give up on him!" Lucy's voice was not loud, but her tone was firm. "If even I give up on him, then who else will save him?"
"I know Allen very well. He doesn't want to be the son of dusk at all. This is the shackle that fate has imposed on him. No matter what, I will find the key to unlock this shackle! "
Link looked at her seriously. After a moment, he smiled gently. "I knew you would say that. If you were so easy to change, you wouldn't be the Lucy I know. That stubborn girl, as long as she decided on something, she would do it. So, if there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to tell me, although there's not much I can do to help … "
"It's enough that you're willing to support me." Lucy also smiled.
"Right, I heard that Earth is in trouble now?" Link asked again.
