Sumen was a capable person who commanded the army well. He was brave, strict, and generous. He was deeply supported by the soldiers. Due to his dissatisfaction with some of Titan's actions in the past, he had always been excluded. He didn't even have a "cushy task" like going to the Dark Moon.
However, fortune and misfortune were unpredictable. The Blue Lava Army, who originally went to the Dark Moon to gain credit, eventually ended up being annihilated. Sumen also escaped the disaster because of this.
Capable people were always unwilling to be left out. After being inspired by Chen Rui's ambition, Sumen's entire life had taken an important turn. It was undeniable that this so-called ambition was actually a kind of ambition, but Sumen was very clear about his position. If he wanted to achieve his goal, he couldn't do without the power of the Dark Moon. The Dark Moon could support and help him rise to the top, but they could also easily pull him down.
At this point, this camp was undoubtedly decided.
The combat power of the Dark Moon's current army could be seen from the elite soldiers in Athena's hands. Compared with it, even the Double-headed Dragon Legion or the Azure Legion before the Blue Lava Estate's fiasco were inferior. Moreover, the equipment equipped by those soldiers was enough to make him, the deputy legion leader, jealous. There was no team in the entire Blue Lava Estate that could compete with this elite soldier.
This was only 1 of the 3 legions of the Dark Moon.
From a personal point of view, "Aguile" alone, who could compete with the 3 dark elemental Demon Emperors, could be regarded as the top person under the Demon Overlord, let alone the mysterious Dragons who could suppress the Dark Elemental King.
The power seen now was probably just the tip of the iceberg of the Dark Moon. He didn't know how much power was hidden. However, the Dark Moon's real goal should not only be the surrounding estate. Princess Royal Highness was the granddaughter of the Lord of Midnight Sun and the legitimate heir of the empire.
After the Dark Moon had such a powerful force and the powerful foreign aid of the Shadow Empire, this "legitimate" seemed even more prominent. Coupled with the support of General George and others, perhaps one day, Princess Jía could really sit on the throne of the capital. Then, he was just pledging loyalty to the empress in advance.
After Sumen made up his mind, he swept away his original depression. He commanded the soldiers to bury the remains of the residents of Town Lupin, dismantle the bone tower that had lost the support of the dark elements, and arrange for the wounded soldiers to recuperate. He also sent people everywhere to gather the old subordinates, showing a high-spirited momentum.
With the help of the Yuan Recovery Tree and potions, the injuries of the Flame Legion and the Blue Lava Estate Army were well controlled. The recovery speed was gratifying. As for the dead Flame Legion soldiers, their bones were stored in specific space rings to be brought back to the Dark Moon for burial.
Although Paglio's vitality was injured because he fought against 3 people alone, the protection and recovery special effects of the Overlord Armor played a key role. Coupled with the amazing recovery power of the dragons, he had basically recovered in just 3 days.
Speaking of which, although Paglio relied on equipment and power enhancement to suppress the Dark Elemental King who had not recovered to its peak strength, the poison dragon's strongest talent was toxicity. Since the Dark Elemental King and the Water Elemental King were not afraid of poison, Paglio's true combat power could not be fully exerted in the face of such a restrained enemy.
Although the human financial officer was "knocked unconscious" by Athena before, he was eroded by the power of dark elements because his physique was too weak. He fell ill again in the past few days, and he had been "recuperating" in Athena's tent.
The reason why Chen Rui wanted to recuperate was that a strange thing happened in the Super System.
Originally, he had 385 faith crystals. He used the temporary "Battle Enhancement" in the battle and consumed 100 crystals. Plus the crystals automatically generated by the Tower of Faith and newly collected crystals, there should only be 300 left. However, on the second day after the battle, the faith crystals miraculously increased to 350, and the growth rate was still rising.
Chen Rui's consciousness entered the solar system of the Super System. On the blue planet that provided the power of faith, he was surprised to find the second Pillar of Faith.
Originally, the Pillar of Faith must be automatically generated after the power of faith reached a certain level. Logically speaking, it was not enough now, but for some reason, there was suddenly one more. No wonder the number of faith crystals suddenly increased.
However, what this Tower of Faith believed in was not the 10 virtues that Chen Rui had previously injected into the source of faith. There was only 1 word in it: War.
Chen Rui was taken aback. At this time, Shura's voice sounded in his heart, "Are you surprised? This is thanks to the power of dark elements you absorbed before. "
Shura!
It turned out that the "punishment" of those dark elementals, including the power of the [Death Mirror] territory of the elite dark elemental Helor of the peak stage of the Demon Emperor, were all absorbed by Shura. He actually created a Pillar of Faith with "war" on the blue planet!
Chen Rui frowned. Shura seemed to see through his mind, and his voice was disdainful, "Actually, I didn't use any special means, but some things can't be suppressed. This is the true desire in their hearts. No matter how hypocritically they suppress it, it still really exists. It's like the coexistence of day and night. If there is no darkness, how can light be understood? Isn't there a saying in your memory? Overly sacred is often more evil than demons. "
Although these words had a strong incitement tone, what made Chen Rui ponder was the meaning. The meaning of faith was not distortion and coercion, especially the "human" in the Super System was not a puppet that had lost consciousness, but a real life with its own will.
Light and dark were originally twins.
After experiencing darkness, one would look forward to light more.
Chen Rui seemed to realize something and gave up the impulse to erase this new faith. There might be other Pillars of Faith appearing in the future, and more people would choose these faith.
In a sense, life was a marionette of fate, but he was not fate. Just like his current choice, life also had its own choice.
That kind of choice should be the true faith.
Chen Rui ignored Shura's other temptations and exited the Super System.
He was in the special magic tent. The tent was set in Athena's big tent. The big tent was lit with magic lights. It seemed that it was already night. Athena was lying on the table covered with a military map. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
Chen Rui got up, took a blanket, and gently covered her. Athena's long eyelashes moved slightly, but she woke up.
"Sorry to wake you up."
Athena rubbed her hazy eyes, stretched, and stood up, "I was studying the map according to the plan just now, but I didn't want to fall asleep."
"Do you want me to carry you to the magic tent to sleep?"
"No, I'm not so sleepy anymore. In the past few days, Sumen has gathered a lot of old subordinates. There are about 15,000 troops in his hands now. By the way, the intelligence personnel at the front just sent an unexpected news. The Blue Lava Estate Lord Chandler died of a relapse of his old illness because he was bedridden for a long time. Is there any conspiracy in this? "
"'Chandler' died of illness?" This news was indeed unexpected. I thought that I still need to spend some effort to expose the true face of the fake, but I didn't expect him to "die of illness" in advance. Some plans are prepared in vain.
Chen Rui pondered for a moment and nodded, "There may be a conspiracy, but this move should represent that the Bloodfall has decided to give up the Blue Lava Estate. In other words, their biggest purpose in the Blue Lava Estate has been achieved. There is a powerhouse like Paglio here, so they don't want to lose more power. The Bloodfall's biggest purpose is either the recovery of the Dark Elemental King or something else. It is not clear yet, but this is also good. Sumen's ascension and control of the Blue Lava Estate will be smoother. It seems that we are not far from returning to the Dark Moon. "
"Really?" Athena's forehead leaned gently on his shoulder, "I suddenly don't want to go back. You know, there are not many opportunities to be alone with you like this."
Chen Rui kissed her forehead guiltily, spread the blanket on the ground, and sat down with her in his arms.
"This reminds me of our days in Mountain Xilang." Athena rested comfortably on his lap, "And our cabin in the green leaf forest."
Chen Rui's heart was filled with warmth. He slowly stroked her hair. That was one of his most precious memories.
Athena closed her eyes, enjoyed his gentle movements, and said dreamily, "Promise me, never leave me before my life comes to an end."
"Our lives will come to an end together. Believe me." Chen Rui leaned down and hugged her shoulder, "Do you know? I can't bear a life without you. "
"En …" Athena responded to his warm hug. The 2 were silent for a long time, just feeling each other's powerful heartbeats.
There seemed to be no distance between the 2 hearts.
"…"
"Your singing is really beautiful. Why haven't I heard you sing before?"
"Because your ears are full of Kia's charming voice, how can you hear my singing?" There was a little sourness in the tenderness and sweetness. This is a woman.
"Hmph! Didn't someone say that he liked listening to you sing last time? He even generously gave a pair of legendary grade magic bracers. That's a good thing! "
Chen Rui was naturally talking about Bridget. The bracer given to Athena turned out to be legendary grade. It could increase strength by 50%, add fire damage, and reduce stamina consumption by 50%. The attributes were quite outstanding. It belonged to the legendary grade.
Athena suddenly smiled with a bit of joy and pride.
"Are you jealous? Did I see it wrong? You also have times when you are jealous? "
"Who said that men are not jealous? Even in the history of the Demon Realm, there are dozens of cases of wars caused by jealousy. "Chen Rui said impatiently," That's right. That guy is stronger than me, and he is generous … "
Chen Rui was just joking. Seeing that Athena actually nodded with a smile, he was really a little jealous in his heart. He finally understood the feelings of the women at home.
"There are many men in the Demon Realm who are more powerful than you, right?" Athena said with a smile, "It's just that us Great Demon women are all stubborn. Our eyes are good, and our hearts are also good. There is only you, a bastard."
Chen Rui chuckled. Athena blinked her beautiful red eyes, "I suddenly want to go to sleep in the tent. Aren't you going to carry me?"
Chen Rui's eyes lit up suddenly, "Sir legion leader means …"
"Isn't there a favorite song that only a certain bastard can hear?" The legion leader's face suddenly turned red. How can you even say such words? It's all Kia's fault, that little pervert. She made me start to be shameless …
This sentence was undoubtedly more effective than some ancient runes. The bastard was suddenly refreshed. He picked up the legion leader and hurriedly walked toward the soundproof magic tent.
In the quiet night sky, the two purple moons gently hid into the clouds.
