This world was like this. After stripping off the fancy clothes, one would find that the brilliant civilization was actually built on naked violence. In comparison, Bifano's little trick wasn't vicious at all.
After losing their power, humans' behavior became much more evil, and even the evil creatures in the Dark Plane would feel inferior.
Not to mention the Dark Plane, there wasn't a single plane that would have a creature that could turn most of the main continent into a place suitable for only one type of creature, and that was humans.
The creatures that were captured by humans from various planes gradually became extinct on the Myers Continent, and their powerful descendants were almost all hunted down by humans. Humans captured these creatures to do hard labor, and they were occasionally rewarded. However, humans later simply killed them, pulled out their tendons, pulled out their bones, and squeezed out their souls.
After these creatures became extinct, humans started to attack their own kind. Although there were wars before, the continent had always been a unified dynasty. After the collapse of the Fourth Dynasty, humans on the Myers Continent were completely divided.
There was a lot of hatred between the four empires. The most recent one was the assassination of Emperor Chanak. Looking further back, the Holy Church was defeated by the other three empires, and it took them nearly 1,000 years to recover a little.
Yun Liu's fleet once plundered the other three empires along the coast, and then they conquered the Alchemy City, which saved Qin Yin some trouble. Skocenya, which was known for its caravan that traversed the entire continent, wasn't a good person either. Any bandit group on the continent could be related to Skocenya.
Needless to say, the Tanggulas Empire had the largest slave market there, and not all of the slaves were from the Tanggulas Empire. People from any empire on the continent could be sold there, and you could buy them as long as you had the money. Basically, these slaves were robbed.
The Qinyin Empire seemed clean, but that was an illusion under the suppression of the imperial power. In the recent 200 to 300 years, the local nobles weren't involved in anything public. As long as Saint Rock City didn't know about these dark things, as long as there were benefits to be gained, the Qinyin people wouldn't fall behind others.
Grand Duke Pompey in the south was in cahoots with Yun Liu, and they had a part in condoning the pirates. If it weren't for the extreme corruption, such a big kingdom like Jialou Lan wouldn't have fallen so quickly and been divided by the Qinyin nobles. Unfortunately, before the Qinyin nobles could gain a foothold, the Tanggulas Empire's army had driven them out of most of Jialou Lan's territory.
The Rhine Duchy, which belonged to Scotia, only produced two things: mercenaries and bandits. Sometimes, when some people got tired of being mercenaries, they would start robbing, and when they were tired of robbing, they would also occasionally become mercenaries.
The Myers Continent wasn't as glamorous as it looked on the surface. In a sense, the Holy Church wasn't too bad. Except for promoting the illusory heavenly kingdom, only the Inquisition was eye-catching.
Neris left Rex's room and came back to find Salin. She told Salin what she had heard from Bifano, and Salin began to calculate.
Was there even a need to use Fire Dance City's five thousand soldiers? The Titan Duchy could not hold on for long. It was very dangerous for Rex to continue staying on this land. Whether it was the Tanggulas Tribe or the Yun Liu Tribe, they would immediately fight over Rex the moment they saw him. But if they attacked Bifano now, if they didn't kill all of his people, as long as Bifano sold the information about Rex, they would face a huge crisis.
"Master, bear with it. When we get to the Shrine, we can deal with that guy," Neris persuaded Salin.
It was best for her to summon demons in the Shrine. The space there was stable, and it was relatively easy to open the plane channel. It was also difficult to be discovered by people outside the Shrine. After Bifano's army entered, they would start killing, and those people wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
This kind of thing was exciting just thinking about it. Leading demons to slaughter humans, even the guys from the Demonic Plane wouldn't have the guts, right?
Humph, I, Neris, will become the greatest demon in history, the most powerful Lologalo!
"Neris, what are you thinking about!" Salin saw that Neris had a weird expression. She would only be like this when she was thinking about some evil thoughts. Salin was already familiar with some of Neris's details, and he immediately asked.
"Master, that Bifano wants to take me away from you and make me your wife. I'm thinking that when I catch him, I'll let him die slowly. " Neris said while gritting her teeth. Salin smiled and didn't continue asking. He was tricked by Neris.
Although Salin couldn't marry a demon himself, Salin naturally wouldn't be polite to anyone who wanted to touch his summoned creature. After all, Neris said that he could feel the special feelings on her body. After all, the two of them had a soul contract. Whoever married Neris would be marrying Salin as well.
This was definitely the biggest insult to a mage, and Salin definitely wouldn't pity Bifano.
The next morning, Bifano, who had discussed with Rex, set off with his team. He had no time to care about the troubles of the princess' castle. Titan actually had two battalions of troops in the princess' castle. The princess' castle wasn't big, and two battalions of soldiers were enough to protect it. For Bifano, there wasn't much time left. He had to evacuate all his wealth before the two empires collided, hide in the Shrine, and stay out of the war.
When he trained his magic and martial arts to a certain level, he would come out to fight for the world. With the wealth in the Shrine, he was confident that he could create a powerful empire.
The princess' castle wasn't as safe as imagined. It was already September, late autumn. On the border of Titan, there was an army of fifty thousand gathered, not the two battalions mentioned in the report. This fifty thousand army didn't include the support troops, logistics troops, slave soldiers, or a group of Holy Knights from the Vatican.
The food had been harvested, and the Tanggulas Empire forcibly conscripted a hundred thousand peasant soldiers nearby to completely clear the border of Titan. If this had happened to Qin Yin, the local nobles would have rebelled long ago. But with the suppression of the Vatican, the local nobles of Tanggulas didn't have the guts.
In the northwest of Titan Duchy, the troops at the border had reached a terrifying two hundred thousand. The twenty thousand soldiers of the princess' castle couldn't defend this medium-sized fortress at all.
The princess' castle had been completely sealed, and the Titan's food had been harvested and stored in the warehouse. The castle was in a state of panic, and there was still no response to the message sent to the young duke. The Tanggulas Empire's vanguard had already reached the periphery of the castle, and the camp stretched for several miles. Although they didn't attack the castle immediately, every Titan soldier's heart was already extremely heavy.
Since the Tanggulas Empire was confident that they could deal with both Yun Liu and Qin Yin at the same time, they had probably pacified Scochenya, or even formed an alliance with the Scochenya people.
The real danger was always invisible. Just as the princess' castle was paying attention to the Tanggulas army heading north, an army of ten thousand people quietly attacked from the west of Titan.
This army quickly opened a hundred-mile wide path, cutting into the back of the princess' castle. A total of six relatively important towns were cut off from the north of Titan by this army, completely cutting off contact with Titan.
The commanders of this army of ten thousand were all members of the Inquisition. All the soldiers were riding on black warhorses and wearing fully enclosed metal armor. These soldiers didn't know fatigue, and they didn't fear death. Every flag regiment was led by a Black Deacon. Under the metal masks of the soldiers were numb faces.
If Salin was here, he would definitely be able to tell that these soldiers were barbarians, barbarians who had been transformed into Blood Knights.
Every Blood Knight was no weaker than a beginner swordsman. Ten thousand beginner swordsmen were enough to sweep through the north of Titan. Even if there were Magicians, they would be suppressed by the Black Deacons. Titan was not Qin Yin. There were fewer Magicians, and not every city had a Magic Tower.
The Tanggulas army didn't seem to be in a hurry to take down Titan. Instead, they cut off the north of Titan to test the power of the Blood Knights.
In the countryside of Titan, there was a small fortress. The walls were only three meters tall. This kind of fortress was originally used by farmers. When there was a war, the farmers would hide in the fortress to resist the invaders. Usually, the army wouldn't spend too much time on such small fortresses. It wasn't worth it.
If regular soldiers were to attack such a fortress, the casualties would still reach a one-to-one ratio. However, only farmers would be killed. No noble would be willing to fight like this.
But this time, it was different. The Blood Knights' warhorses could directly jump over the walls of the small fortress. Ten thousand Blood Knights in blood-red armor swept through the countryside, destroying the fortresses one by one.
Wherever the Blood Knights passed, there was no longer any life.
The Titan people were brave in battle. Even if they were farmers, their fighting strength wasn't low. However, they encountered an enemy they had never encountered before. The Blood Knights' armor was strong, and even if the armor was broken and the weapons pierced through, these senseless fellows couldn't be killed. The characteristics of these Blood Knights were extremely similar to the headless knights created by Black Magicians.
The Blood Knights fell again and again, but stood up again and again under the control of the Black Deacon. Autumn, which should have been golden yellow, was dyed bright red by the Blood Knights.
When Salin and the others arrived at the stone statue castle, the princess' castle had become an isolated city. The news could no longer be hidden. Two counties in the north of Titan had completely fallen. Except for the princess' castle, all the other cities were destroyed by the Tanggulas Empire. About three hundred thousand people fled south. Most of them died in the flames of war.
