Night fell again.
In the capital of the Blue Brilliance Empire.
The blood-red sky during the day had gradually recovered, and the shock that lasted for two days and one night had also returned to peace.
All the corpses had been cleaned up, but the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood.
The city wall on the west side had been ruined, and the land outside the city wall was full of scars. The overall height seemed to have dropped by several meters, which showed how fierce the battle had been.
The ground was covered with solidified dark red rocks, which looked like cooled magma; there were also many strange transparent things, which looked like some kind of crystal.
Rambis stood on the broken city wall, staring at the lights in the capital, which were like stars illuminating the darkness.
She had almost lost sight of the lights. She had almost lost sight of them. She had almost lost them from this world.
Fortunately.
The Army of the Abyss had been completely annihilated.
It was a total annihilation.
In the battle, in addition to the Dragons and the strange army, the reinforcements of the Church of Light had also arrived.
This time, two legions were sent. One was the Temple Knights of the Cang Thunder Temple, led by Pasari, who was once known as the Sword Saint of Gale. Now, Pasari was already a super strong person. The other was the Priest Legion, which mainly consisted of light magicians, led by Miranda, the disciple of Saint Eudora.
However, what really changed the situation of the battle was that large number of strange troops of unknown origin.
The monsters of the abyss were not like ordinary soldiers. When the situation was lost or the leader died, their morale would plummet, and they would even collapse without fighting. Even if there was only one monster left, they still rushed forward fearlessly, which was the most frightening thing.
Only those who had experienced it themselves knew how terrible it was.
After the reinforcements arrived, the Army of the Abyss launched an even more terrible charge, but they were finally defeated by those strange troops. Of course, that army also paid a considerable price.
At this time, Artos walked in front of Rambis and whispered a few words.
Lambis was surprised. She nodded and said, "Invite him over."
Not long after, a man came to Lambis and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"If I remember correctly, I've met you once in the Templar. Your name is Lucio, and you're the external steward of the Templar. I think you were recommended by Bonnett."
Lucio was a little surprised. "What an honor. I didn't expect a nobody like me to be remembered by His Majesty."
"Nobody?" Rambis shook her head and smiled bitterly. "You must be joking, Lord Lucio. I should be the one feeling ashamed. There's a spy from another world right under my nose, yet I didn't know anything. When Artos told me that the army that saved the capital was from the Demons, I was shocked. "
Lucio had indeed made a great contribution this time. If it were not for him leading the way, the Alchemy Army would not have reached the Rayo Empire so quickly. On the way, they coincidentally met Ryūzoku's reinforcements. Groas and Chen Rui got to know each other through a fight on the Island of Storms. He and the leader of the Titans, Ocealos, could be considered old acquaintances. It was a good opportunity for them to join forces.
"Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. I am indeed a small fry. I am merely following master's orders to guide this ancient army to support us."
"Your Majesty? Which Empress of the Demon Realm? " Rambis frowned. Only a huge empire could have such a powerful army. From this, it could be seen that the combat power of the Demon Realm was far beyond their expectations. Fortunately, the battle in the Jinyao Territory did not continue.
Speaking of this topic, Lucio's eyes were filled with pride. He said, "My master is not the Empress of the Demon Realm … Well, let me put it this way. The three Empresses are all his wives."
"His Highness' Aguile '?" Rambis was taken aback. She was no stranger to the basic situation of the Demon Realm. However, this time, the news was delayed.
After the battle in the Jinyao Territory, the intelligence department of the Rayo Empire immediately received the relevant news. However, due to Rambis's consistent request, the intelligence department did not rush to report it. Instead, after repeated verification and confirmation, they finally confirmed that "Aguile" was the Prince Arthur who "died" in the Holy Son's Canonization Hall. (At that time, the witnesses were all heads of states, and they were ordered to keep quiet by the church.)
When the confirmed information appeared on Rambis's table, all Rambis's energy had been focused on the newly appeared abyss monsters. With the urgency of the war, Rambis had no time to deal with other affairs. After all, this was a major event related to the survival of the entire Rayo Empire.
"In fact, 'Aguile' is just an alias. Master is also an old friend of His Majesty …"
"Old friend?" Rambis suddenly thought of a certain scene at the New Moon Festival and the "Demons" that were seen through by Raphael. She had a faint premonition in her heart.
"His Majesty should still remember the Holy Grail."
Lucio's words confirmed the assumption in Rambis's heart. She couldn't help but be shocked, "You mean, 'Aguile' is … him?"
The only husband of the three Empresses of the Demon Realm, the real master behind the Demon Realm, is actually the man who almost became my husband! The Third Prince of the Long Huang Empire whom I resolutely gave up for the sake of power!
Rambis had an inexplicable bitter feeling. With that man's power and character, his marriage with the three Empresses of the Demon Realm should be more than just a relationship of interest.
Why were those women able to have power and love at the same time?
At the moment when she thought she was facing death, she was still unprecedentedly determined. Now that she was "alive" again, some things that she thought she had let go emerged in her heart again.
She was an empress, after all, she was also a woman.
But now that things had come to this, these thoughts were meaningless.
Rambis withdrew her thoughts and sighed, "This is a secret, but since you can tell me, I believe a lot of people already know."
"Master revealed his identity in front of His Majesty Rex of the Long Huang Empire in the Jinyao Territory and stopped the war between the two sides."
Rambis thought that Gabriel and Raphael actually had to join forces to compete with "Arthur" in the Immortal Capital of Silver Moon, and she couldn't help but nod, "It's no wonder. With the strength he has now … he doesn't have to fear anyone anymore. Sir Lucio, please convey my most sincere thanks to Her Highness for your help. "
Everyone knew about the marriage storm between "Arthur" and Princess Mingzhu, and Lucio naturally understood it. He didn't know if his master had any unknown entanglements with this empress, so he didn't dare to hold back and bowed deeply.
Sandro came over with a man and a woman beside him. They were the representatives of the Holy Mountain of Light's reinforcements this time, Pasari and Miranda.
Rambis bowed slightly to the two, "Sir Pasari, Miss Miranda, it's all thanks to you this time."
Pasari shook his head and let out a long sigh, "His Majesty's words make us feel ashamed. We seriously underestimated the power of the abyss, and indeed didn't play much of a role. As long as His Highness doesn't mind us being in the way, it's fine."
The Temple Knights had a certain restraining effect on the abyss, but their numbers were not even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the entire abyss army. Instead, it was the Priest Legion that played a miraculous role in healing the wounded soldiers.
Lucio was just the most miserable mercenary in the past, and he never thought that one day he would talk to big shots like Pasari and Rambis like this. But now he was representing Chen Rui, not himself, so his back was obviously much stiffer. He just smiled at Pasari, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, "You flatter me, Sir. I'm just following orders."
Rambis nodded, "No matter which side I'm on, I'll remember this favor and will definitely repay it in the future."
"You don't have to be so polite, Your Majesty." Pasari sighed, "Here's a piece of bad news. While we were fighting hard against the abyss, the other two abyss armies had already destroyed Kansas City and Shengmit City, and have now invaded the Lubo Kingdom. According to the analysis of the intelligence, the number of the abyss armies is no less than the one we just faced. "
"What?" Rambis was shocked. The abyss army was actually divided into three groups! It was laughable that she originally thought that the main force of the abyss had been defeated!
Kansas City and Shengmit City were cities in the northwest of the Rayo Empire, and the entire Rayo Empire had been destroyed by more than half.
Miranda spoke up, "In the battle just now, we've already witnessed Your Majesty's bravery, but now is indeed not the time to show off. The number of abyss armies is far greater than we imagined, and I suggest that Your Majesty quickly prepare to retreat from Vestian. Not only for yourself, but also for the people of the capital."
Rambis fell silent. She understood that Pasari's words were actually very tactful. In the battle just now, almost all of Vestian's defenses and strength had been destroyed. If there was another attack like that, even with the help of the demon army, they would not be able to defend. However, if she retreated this time, the entire Rayo Empire would basically be destroyed.
"The abyss monsters are too strong, and the strength of a country alone is no longer enough to fight against them," Pasari said. "The only thing we can do now is to organize the people to retreat to the west of the continent as soon as possible, and then unite all of our forces to fight the abyss to the death. As far as I know, White Cliff is also actively trying to destroy the abyss army's nest and get rid of these monsters from the root, but we can no longer wait like this. "
Somewhat surprised by Pasari's choice of words, Rambis asked, "We?"
"This time, my and Miranda's mission is to protect Your Majesty before we completely defeat the abyss. Before the mission is completed, we cannot return." Pasari smiled bitterly. "To put it bluntly, we're just cannon fodder that was excluded and sent here to die."
Rambis had also heard of the open and veiled strife between the three heads of the Holy Mountain of Light, so she did not ask further. Her mind seemed to recall Ados's words in the hall, "As long as Your Majesty is alive, so is the empire." Finally, she made up her mind. "Then, let's retreat."
Nightmare Volcano.
In the sky where the "diamond" was located, several rays of blood-red light shone down, reflecting the surging torrent of flames on the ground.
Quiriana sat on a blood-red throne, wearing a white robe, her eyes slightly closed.
In the magma below this hillside were endless blood cocoons, and there were many Abyssal Hives that had already taken shape, constantly creating new blood cocoons.
Among them, two huge blood cocoons were the most conspicuous, and countless crystal clear Abyssal Flowers were condensed near these two huge blood cocoons, and there were many flowers floating around the magma.
Quiriana's eyes slowly opened, and there was still a trace of a crack in her right eye.
The huge blood cocoon on the left began to shake, and the outer layer began to peel off.
