Dark Moon Estate, Moonlight Fortress.
Imperial Capital Army Command Tent.
Looking at the livid Regent Obsidian on the seat, neither the general nor the lord dared to speak easily.
Last night, after capturing the undefended Moonlight Fortress, the new deputy commander of the coalition army, Pallor, led the capital's three elite legions and the air force, the Flying Cloud Legion, to pursue the defeated army and raid Town Dico.
However, the result of this raid was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Pallor was besieged by more than 500,000 undead in Town Dico. The First Legion and the Flying Cloud Legion, which were pursuing the enemy, were attacked by the "defeated army" and the undead, and they were completely annihilated. At dawn, Commander Pallor led the Second Legion and the Third Legion, which were less than 30,000 soldiers, to break through the siege.
The deputy commander of the allied forces and the commander-in-chief of this raid, Pallor, was seriously injured and unconscious.
First Legion Commander Yefa and Deputy Legion Commander Kerry were missing.
The whereabouts of the commander of the Flying Cloud Legion, Rometty, was unknown.
The commander of the Second Legion, Fritz, was killed, and the deputy commander, Toros, was killed.
The Third Legion Commander, Newkel, was lightly injured, and the Vice Legion Commander, Lonji, was killed.
The 3 Demon Overlords, Stiller, Baroco, and Stebil retreated in defeat with minor injuries.
The whereabouts of the Demon Overlord-level royal family powerhouse, Pegasus, were unknown.
"Whereabouts unknown" usually meant that it was a disaster. Such a heavy loss! This was not the cannon fodder of the feudal lords, but the true elite army of the imperial capital! Not only those Demon Emperor-level generals, but even the Demon Overlord-level Pegasus was killed!
If the previous battle of the Moonlight Fortress gave Obsidian a loud slap in the face, then the battle of Town Dico was a heavy punch that broke his teeth. This was a crushing defeat that could not be avoided.
Originally, with the distance between Town Dick and the Moonlight Fortress, they could directly reinforce if they noticed that the situation was not right. However, the enemy obviously considered this and deliberately cut off the connection between the two places. The scouts or soldiers who asked for help were intercepted and killed without exception. It was not until Pallor broke out of the encirclement that they realized that it was impossible to save the situation by sending troops to support them.
"Your Highness! The scouts reported that the Undead Army has withdrawn from Town Dico, but … "
"Just what?" Obsidian's face was horribly gloomy.
"The armors and weapons left behind by the corpses were taken away by the enemy, and a considerable number of the corpses are missing."
"Humph!" Obsidian slammed the table, and the table suddenly turned into powder. Everyone was silent.
"Your Highness, the undead army took away weapons and corpses, indicating that they also suffered a lot in this ambush. They need to use corpses to replenish their army. Even a Demon Overlord-level magician needs considerable time to transform a large number of corpses into undead with the help of a special altar. There's no time to lose. I believe that we should be able to mobilize the army to pursue the Undead. Even if we can't annihilate them, we should be able to restore morale. " It was Gerant who spoke. Although he knew that Obsidian was angry at the moment, and it was not a good thing to speak first, the battle situation was ever-changing. The opportunity was fleeting, so he couldn't care so much.
"Everyone understands the intention of the undead army to take away the weapons and corpses. You don't need to emphasize it." Obsidian snorted coldly, "The Dark Moon Army is very cunning. If we pursue now, who can guarantee that we will not repeat Pallor's mistake?"
Gerant argued, "Your Royal Highness, behind Town Dico is the Leith Wilderness. The terrain is not suitable for ambush. We can first send an army to test the situation, and then the army will prepare to attack."
Josh came out and spoke, "In the current situation, it is not advisable to advance rashly. The morale of our army cannot be damaged again, even if it is only a small loss. The reason for Pallor's failure is that he was ambushed by the Dark Moon while underestimating the enemy. According to the strength comparison, even if the opponent has the Undead Army, our troops and combat power still have the upper hand. I propose to occupy Town Dico first, then slowly restore vitality and morale, and send scouts to inquire in many ways. After confirming the enemy's movements, we will determine the next specific action. "
Obsidian nodded slightly. Josh's proposal is more reliable, especially the sentence "our army still has the upper hand". I like it very much.
"But …"
"Okay! Gerant! " Gerant was interrupted before he finished speaking. A cold light flashed in Obsidian's slightly narrowed eyes, "At present, Pallor is seriously injured and unconscious, so you will retake the position of deputy commander. The current task is to occupy Town Dico and try to stabilize the army's morale. Understand?"
Gerant didn't say anything more. He just gave a military salute, "Yes, Your Royal Highness."
After the meeting, Gerant was ordered to reward the soldiers and stabilize the morale. When he came to the military supply office, he happened to meet Josh, who was in charge of logistics.
"General, please wait a moment. The military supplies will be ready in about an hour."
Gerant nodded slightly, and he suddenly said, "Sir Josh, I really don't agree with the proposal you put forward today. At this time, blindly seeking stability will only give the Dark Moon more breathing time. Why don't we go and persuade Royal Highness Obsidian together?"
Josh was taken aback. He ordered his men to retreat and said, "General, some words may not be appropriate, but I still want to say it. When Samoer's Nether Hydra Legion was dispatched in the Red Spirit Estate, the general obviously had the opposite opinion with the regent. In the end, the Nether Hydra Legion sent by the regent was completely annihilated. Subsequently, when we attacked the Moonlight Fortress, our army encountered stubborn resistance and suffered a lot of losses. We failed to achieve success in one fell swoop as the regent ordered. The real reason is that the Dark Moon showed strength far beyond our expectations. Even the regent sent 2 air legions, but they still failed to take down the fortress. This was not a mistake in the general's command, but the regent felt that his face had been damaged, so he still removed the general's deputy commander position for poor command. Then Pallor took down the undefended Moonlight Fortress. When the regent ordered to pursue the defeated Dark Moon army, the general stopped him again, but the regent didn't listen, resulting in a crushing defeat. Now that the regent obviously has the intention to temporarily rest and reorganize the army, the general once again objected and proposed to pursue the enemy … If the general's judgment fails and the morale is even lower, then it is fine. If the general's strategy succeeds and we win, then it is equivalent to slapping the regent's face in front of everyone. General … do you understand what I mean? "
Gerant stared at Josh for a moment, and he finally sighed, "I understand sir's meaning."
"General is not a stupid person. You should be able to guess the reason why the regent Royal Highness clearly hates you, but he reappointed you as the deputy commander at this time."
This lost and regained deputy commander is not a pleasant job. The next battle with the Dark Moon will be more difficult. If Royal Highness Obsidian wins, he will be a scapegoat if he loses.
Gerant smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm just a soldier in military affairs. I want to win the final victory of the war, that's all."
"There is no independent military or political …" Josh also sighed, "Forget it, I'm too talkative … I sincerely hope that the general will think more about everything and try to keep a useful body. The empire needs a pillar like the general."
Gerant nodded solemnly, "Understood, I will keep these words in mind. Thank you, Sir Josh, for your guidance and friendship."
"I didn't say anything nonsense today. I'm just discussing the supply of supplies with the general." As he spoke, Josh and Gerant looked at each other and smiled.
Watching Gerant leave the tent, a strange smile appeared on Josh's face.
Although these words were not enough to sow discord, they had effectively buried a nail in Gerant's heart, causing him to have more concerns. In any case, the capital army temporarily rested and reorganized. The purpose of delaying time for the Dark Moon had been achieved.
Under the control of the master-servant contract and poison, Josh was now firmly tied to the Dark Moon's ship. For the sake of his life and power, he had to pull down the old master, Obsidian, at all costs. At present, he was only secretly fanning a small flame. When the time came, as the most important insider, he would become the key figure in determining the entire war.
Chen Rui, who was far away in the White Feather Estate, did not know these little tricks of Josh. Since he devoured the power of the Demi-God's soul, especially in the Winter Territory, he still retained a trace of soul breath, so he successfully obtained the approval of the ruins. He entered the ruins with a group of lamp spirits.
The ruins were actually a broken castle of the alchemy civilization. Due to the serious damage in the war, coupled with the age and lack of energy, most things were no longer usable.
In the storage secret vault, Chen Rui found the heart lamps of the lamp spirits. There were thousands of them, but many of them had been broken and lost their effectiveness.
According to the level of power of the lamp spirits, the heart lamps were divided into gold, silver, and iron from high to low. The first word of the name was also gold, white, and black. Genie's heart lamp was gold. There were nearly 100 gold heart lamps, and 30 of them were intact. This would be a powerful help.
Although the indestructible body of the lamp spirits was powerful, the resurrection was not endless. The number of resurrection of the golden lamp was 4 times, the silver lamp could resurrect 3 times, and the iron lamp could resurrect 2 times. The heart lamp that exceeded the number of resurrections would break and lose its effectiveness unless it was repaired at a very high price.
Chen Rui learned from the acquired memory that the heart lamp could not only be repaired, but it could also be upgraded through special materials and energy transformation. Each level of advancement was quite difficult. The higher the level, the more difficult it was. If the advancement failed, then the level of the heart lamp would drop by 1 level. The golden lamp would drop to the silver lamp; the silver lamp would drop to the iron lamp. If the advancement failed, the iron lamp would directly break and fail.
Generally speaking, the level of the golden heart lamp was already the limit. In the alchemy civilization, there were alchemists who used a secret recipe to transform the dark red heart lamp beyond the limit. Unfortunately, the success rate was extremely low, and it would be directly scrapped if it failed.
Chen Rui had experienced the illusion of the territory kingdom. He understood that these lamp spirits were female slaves who completely obeyed him. They were not only powerful soldiers on the battlefield but also a stunner in bed. However, the illusion was an illusion. In reality, he didn't dare to have crooked thoughts. Even if he had the [Dual Training] skill of the Dragons, facing a terrifying number of lamp spirit beauties, it was inevitable that he would be exhausted. Moreover, if he really brought so many women back, perhaps even Athena, who had always been generous, would come out to chop people with a hatchet.
Anyway, Chen Rui was also the master now, so there was no need to continue to hide. He took out a large number of aura fruits in front of the lamp spirits. So many top-level energy essences almost dazzled those beautiful eyes, and the lamp spirits cheered in surprise.
The more advanced the heart lamp, the more time and energy it took to resurrect. With the help of Gensha, Chen Rui found Genie's golden heart lamp and handed it to Gensha along with the aura fruits.
After the excitement, the lamp spirits began to get busy in batches. Some made energy blocks, some cleaned up the items in the ruins, some started to resurrect their partners, and some repaired the equipment. They seemed to be in full swing.
Although these aura fruits are far from enough to repair the entire castle, didn't the master say that after a while, all the partners will be resurrected, and the new castle will return to the ground! There were many things in the ruins that interested Chen Rui, especially those tall assemble puppets. He had seen the combat power of this thing in the trial. It was simply a big killing weapon in the war. Unfortunately, they were basically damaged. The lamp spirits could barely repair them, but it would take a long time.
Compared with the assemble puppets, the lamp spirits were helpless against the damaged giant crystal beasts and crystal demonic beasts, but Chen Rui was not worried because he had a powerful scientist wife. With Rolla's knowledge and level of making the goldman, as long as she understood the principle, it should not be a problem to repair these things.
Compared with the assemble puppets, the lamp spirits were helpless against the damaged giant crystal beasts and crystal demonic beasts, but Chen Rui was not worried because he had a powerful scientist wife. With Zola's knowledge and level of making the goldman, as long as she understood the principle, it should not be a problem to repair these things.
There were also a lot of strange things in the ruins, including some potions and black potions. Unfortunately, the validity period of the potions was not long. Even the black potions could only last for 100 years. These were no longer usable. It was better to recycle the waste and give it to the old man for research. When Chen Rui first came to the Demon Realm, he carried the title of the inheritor of the ancient alchemy grand master. Unexpectedly, it became a prophecy. Now it was worthy of the name.
In addition to the huge gain, Chen Rui also realized an important problem at the same time. The Super System was generally successful, but there were occasional exceptions. Except for this trial, the Super System was also unusable when facing the Demi-God in the Rainbow Valley. In Chen Rui's situation, if it weren't for the 4 major territories that he had newly realized, the failure of the Super System was equivalent to losing all his combat power, which was inferior to ordinary powerhouses of the same level.
Now that Chen Rui had S-level spirit power, he could sense more things more clearly. He remembered that he could feel the Super System in the trial, but he couldn't use skills. Then, he woke up from the illusion and could use the Super System again. This should not be the problem of the Super System itself, but his own problem.
Chen Rui faintly realized that his understanding of the Super System seemed to have entered a certain misunderstanding. This realization meant that he would change to a new perspective and comprehend more mysteries of the Super System.
It was a pity that the Dark Moon's war was urgent now, and he had to seize every second. He didn't have enough time to study slowly. He must continue the plan on the White Feather Estate immediately.
Although the battle caused a lot of the main mine cave of the Loeb Mine to collapse, under the protection of the Dragon Inscription, the main body of the mine cave was still intact. Many of the surviving miners had escaped. This time, Sicali's mission was considered to be successfully completed. He needed to return to the White Feather City immediately to report.
Chen Rui thought carefully for a while, and he ordered some of the lamp spirits to stay in the ruins to resurrect those intact heart lamps. The rest of the lamp spirits disguised themselves, left the swamp, and went to the nearby Town Ronnie where the Dark Demon's spy was. This spy would take the lamp spirits to a certain stronghold of the Dark Demon in the White Feather City to wait for orders.
As for the medusa tribe, after witnessing the battle between Chen Rui and Jacob, they had completely surrendered to this powerful master. Chen Rui's order to them was to be ready to dispatch at any time.
After arranging all this, Chen Rui opened the [Star Gate] and returned to the White Feather City in an instant. Initially, Sicali gave him 10 days, and now he had completed the mission ahead of schedule. He believed that it was time to reveal one of Sicali's trump cards.
