The Bloodmist Valley was located in the forest in the south of the Red Spirit Estate. The terrain was dangerous. It was a base that Josh spent many years to build. It was originally intended to restrain and monitor Joseph's control of Town Mordo. Later, Joseph died and the war of lords was defeated. This base was used as a strategic buffer zone facing the Dark Moon, and Kanita was responsible for taking care of it.
The trek made it almost difficult for the Magic Shadow knights, who had been plagued by injuries and exhaustion, to support them. Fortunately, the new force on the Red Spirit Estate played a role. Under Kanita's order, they supported each other and took out some stretchers to carry the wounded forward. They did not give up any soldiers, which greatly increased Nesta's affection for Kanita.
The group finally passed through the forest and entered the base of the Bloodmist Valley.
This was Kanita's home ground. He immediately ordered to bury the pot to cook and arrange for the treatment of the wounded and rest matters. The injured cavalry and horses were properly treated.
"Sir Kanita, thanks to you this time." Since Kanita's identity was the heir of the Red Spirit Estate, Nesta's address seemed very polite. "I appreciate your talent very much. If I can get the forgiveness of Royal Highness Regent this time, I will recommend you to Royal Highness."
"Thank you, general! Please call me by my name … "Kanita was overjoyed and bowed," General is a famous general of the empire. I have always admired general. I hope to have the opportunity to serve under general in the future. "
Nesta nodded, but he sighed, "I don't know if I am still qualified to lead the Magic Shadow Legion. This failure is a painful lesson. What I don't understand is that my attack was launched as soon as Royal Highness Obsidian ordered it. Except for the legion members, only a few people know, but the Dark Moon seems to have known about this raid long ago. They set a trap to lure me in. "
"The 'few people' that general mentioned include me and my sir father." Kanita also sighed and smiled bitterly, "I understand what general means. I am now one of the suspects of the Dark Moon's insider. The action just now is just to cover up my identity."
If there are insiders around now, they will definitely despise Kanita's acting skills. It's too pretentious! It was too superficial. It was a good script of loosening the reins only to grasp better, but it turned into a bitter play on the surface.
"You misunderstood. You and sir lord can be excluded." The timely assistance this time greatly improved Nesta's impression of Kanita. He immediately shook his head and said, "Although the legion members are all selected and trained by me, there are 20,000 people after all. It is hard to say whether there is an insider. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that it is someone close to Sir Lord. "
Although the general of the Imperial Capital was good at commanding troops and could be considered brave and resourceful, he was not involved in political struggles after all. In a sense, he was not ruthless enough. If it were a certain intelligence chief, everyone would be included in the scope of suspicion. She would rather kill wrongly than let them go.
"In fact, there is no need to speculate because the answer is around us." Kanita suddenly thought of something, "General should remember that we brought back a captive this time right?"
Nesta's eyes lit up, "You mean …"
"That guy is currently in the Bloodmist Valley's Water Prison. Not to mention escaping, even if he tried to commit suicide, I've already dispelled it. By the way, the maids have already prepared the food. General should eat something first, heal the injuries on your body, take a rest, then let's go interrogate him together. "
"Okay!"
A few hours later, Nesta followed Kanita to a prison that was transformed from a cave. Considering the confidentiality, Nesta did not bring any legion members in. Kanita also specifically instructed the guards at the door not to allow anyone to enter.
The two walked into the prison, went down the stairs, and saw the captured Great Demon, Hardi, in the water prison at the bottom.
The dim magic lamp in the water dungeon reflected the cold light flashing in Nesta's eyes. This person was one of the main reasons for his failure. The terrible trap caused him to lose three-quarters of the legion's troops. Every soldier was personally trained by him. Seeing them buried in the rain of arrows and the flames of magic crystal cannons, it was as if his limbs were broken. It was excruciating.
However, it was not the time to vent his anger. He must dig out more important things from this captive's mouth.
Nesta didn't make a sound, but he slowly released his momentum to form a strong mental pressure on Hardi. Kanita cooperated and retreated to the door of the water prison without disturbing.
Seeing that Hardi seemed to be suffocated by the pressure, Nesta slowly dissipated the pressure and said, "No matter what your real name is, I should praise you. You did a great job! The Dark Moon's ambush caused my legion to lose 15,000 elites. You have contributed a lot to this. "
"The 'contribution' that general said should be a thousand cuts to me." Hardi, who felt the pressure sharply reduced, gasped for a while and smiled mockingly.
"It seems that you are a tough nut to crack." Nesta actually nodded appreciatively, "As long as you provide something of enough value, I can guarantee your life safety and even money and status."
Hardi sneered, "Your failure this time is equivalent to a loud slap on Obsidian's face. For the prestige of the entire coalition army and your own face, I'm afraid you, as a scapegoat, can't escape a felony. What can you use to protect my life or interests?"
"It turns out that you are not only a tough nut to crack, but you are also a sensible person." Nesta's momentum changed, "Tell me what I want to know, and I can give you a quick death. Otherwise … I think you should understand what will happen. "
"I can't even live or die?"
Hardi's calmness was beyond Nesta's expectation. This lowly Demon King-level character actually made Nesta feel a faint sense of uneasiness.
"General Nesta, before I say what you are interested in, there are a few words that I need to say first. Regent Obsidian's perverse and shameless behavior has caused the entire empire to complain. On the other hand, Princess Royal Highness of the Dark Moon has outstanding talent and knows how to use people well. In less than 10 years as the lord, the Dark Moon has gotten rid of poverty and backwardness, and it has become the most powerful estate of the empire. Who is the most suitable ruler of the empire? Who will lead the Fallen Angel Empire and the Lucifer Royal Family to go further? As a famous general of the empire and the Lucifer Royal Family, you should understand in your heart. You were also a member of the Lord of Midnight Sun's army. Why don't you choose a master who is truly worthy of assistance? "
Nesta said without hesitation, "What you said sounds plausible, but unfortunately it's useless! I can become today's legion leader from a small cavalry captain because of the promotion of Regent Royal Highness. I have sworn to be loyal to Royal Highness Obsidian with my blood and sword. I will never betray him no matter what the situation is! I will never be loyal to the little girl of the Dark Moon, even if she is the bloodline of the Lord of Midnight Sun! "
Hardy frowned and said, "General's loyalty is admirable, but this kind of blind loyalty may not be good for general, for the Lucifer Royal Family, for the Fallen Angel Empire, or even for Prince Obsidian himself …"
"Even if Royal Highness Obsidian is on a path of no return, I, Nesta. Lucifer will follow him!" Nesta interrupted Hardy's persuasion coldly. The chill in his eyes was even more intense, "It's ridiculous that a captive actually persuades me to surrender! Your nonsense time has passed. Now you have 10 seconds to consider how to explain something valuable. Otherwise, I will make you regret not finding a chance to commit suicide earlier! "
"Understood," Hardy sighed indifferently, "It turns out to be Obsidian's die-hard loyalty. It's a pity. Then I can only change the way to let you contribute to the Dark Moon. Come to think of it, it's almost time for that thing to activate … Kanita, are you ready to die? "
Nesta was suddenly shocked. He glanced at Kanita, who was guarding the door. He thought that Hardy had some secret technique to break through the magic confinement and kill Kanita. His Demon Emperor-level power was immediately channeled, ready to stop at any time.
However, as soon as he channeled this power, Nesta's face suddenly changed. The power that was still full just now disappeared as if it was drained by something.
Kanita's calm voice sounded as if he was saying a trivial matter, "I'm ready, my master. My value has ended."
If Nesta was still surprised just now, he was shocked now. Master?
And he is still facing "death" so calmly?
"When you were eating, I had already arranged this water dungeon a little. Even if it collapses, the people outside can't see or hear it … Uh, please forgive me. I asked Kanita to add a little extra seasoning to the food. It will only temporarily make your power disappear for 10 minutes. However, in these 10 minutes, it is enough to complete many things including deciding life and death."
The indifferent voice of "Hardy" sounded, and the water surface of the water dungeon rotated rapidly. It formed a reverse vortex under the effect of a certain force field, slowly lifting his whole body out.
"It turns out …" Nesta's hands trembled, not because of fear, but because of shock. At this moment, he had understood many things.
"Judging from the general's expression, I have already guessed something. In fact, the corpses in the Moonlight Fortress were arranged long ago, and the soldiers who were killed were actually death row prisoners …" "Hardy" looked at Nesta, who was desperately gathering his power. He shook his head and said, "Don't waste your energy. Even if you don't lose the power of the intermediate stage of the Demon Emperor, you are not my opponent."
With that said, "Hardy"'s body suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling white light. In Nesta's impression, even the 2 moons with the strongest daytime light was not as bright as this kind of white light. The powerful breath revealed in the light made the despair in Nesta's eyes even more intense. This level has exceeded the Demon Emperor realm!
This man is right. Even if I am in my heyday, I am definitely not his opponent.
In the white light, "Hardy's" figure seemed to have undergone some changes. An armor surging with strange and huge power covered his whole body, and a strange mask gradually appeared on the visor. This mask was a bit familiar as if he had seen it in some kind of illustration book.
At the same time, Nesta glimpsed Kanita, who was guarding the door, suddenly fell to the ground. He seemed to have no breath. As he said earlier, he was dead.
Suicide?
Such an indifferent and unhesitant death is not like a master-servant contract, but … like a puppet …
Right! That mask!
"Who the hell are you!" Nesta's expression suddenly became extremely horrified. A terrifying assumption rose in his mind.
The figure in the starlight did not answer. He slowly stretched out his hand, and Nesta felt his body tighten. Then, the world spun, and he lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.
