Although his spirit power had reached the S + level which could effectively extend the effectiveness of the [Royal Star Transformation], he still couldn't avoid the fatigue period after the end. Chen Rui was extremely tired mentally and physically at this time. What he wanted to do most was to sleep, but he couldn't sleep yet. It was not only because of Sicali outside the Abyss World, but also because of Satan's promise.
A Demi-God's promise.
Satan was extremely shrewd. He had always harbored ill intentions towards the uninvited guest who broke into Mountain Seckred, but no matter what, the power held by the Demi-God powerhouse was absolutely powerful. It was enough to affect the outcome of a war or even an empire, then …
Chen Rui took a deep breath and forcibly used his spirit power to suppress his tiredness, "I'd better explain to sir first. The reason why I absorbed the power bestowed by sir so quickly was just a coincidence. It was related to something called the Wheel of Hera …"
He briefly mentioned that Sicali used the Wheel of Hera to defraud the faith power and the bloody altar, but he attributed the growth of his power to the accidental devouring of the Wheel of Hera's power. As for avoiding the 2 attacks of the Abyss Lord … it was also related to the faith power devoured in his body. Unfortunately, in order to defend the 2 swords, he exhausted the absorbed power, and he was seriously injured. If Satan didn't arrive in time, he would have been killed.
These words were half-true and half-false. Satan listened calmly and did not express any opinions. When he finished speaking, he said, "It's actually the Wheel of Hera! It turns out that the Abyss Family has tried their best to find such a servant. They want to use the stolen faith power to weaken the seal of the channel step by step. At the very least, they can gradually project their true body over. Unfortunately, they met you, a lucky guy … "
Satan only talked about the Abyss Family and the Wheel of Hera, but he didn't mention the truth or falsehood of Chen Rui's "explanation" just now. Chen Rui smiled bitterly, "This is considered lucky? I almost died. By the way, sir, what exactly is the Abyss Family … "
"They are real demons." Satan gave Chen Rui a profound look, "Once they return, everything will be annihilated … including the world on the ground."
Real demons? Destroy everything? Judging from the memories in the inheritance, the alchemy civilization was indeed destroyed by the Abyss Race. This should not be an exaggeration. Chen Rui noticed that Satan used the word "return" and frowned slightly.
"However, it's almost impossible to open the channel seal at this stage. Generally speaking, the Abyss Race will desperately release some kind of projection through the seal to lure some suitable people to become enslaved servants. The abyss in front of you is a projection space that the Abyssal Race painstakingly created. It has existed for at least ten thousand years … "
Satan didn't continue to explain. Chen Rui felt something appear in his hand. It was the snake emblem that summoned Satan. "Your luck is beyond my expectations. I hope that the next summoning will bring more surprises. Alright, now tell me your wish. "
Chen Rui inexplicably thought of a story about trading souls with demons, especially the one in front of him who had the name of a demon. He hesitated and said, "Lord Satan, if I want to ask you to take action and change the situation of a war …"
If a Demi-God powerhouse takes action, there is no suspense in killing Obsidian or helping the Dark Moon defeat the capital army. Satan did not answer. He just looked at him faintly and asked, "Do you think I will take action?"
Satan once said that he would not care about any affairs of the Demon Realm empire, even the rise and fall of its existence. Chen Rui originally asked with a probing mentality. When he saw the other party's attitude, although it was expected, he was inevitably a little disappointed.
What conditions should I put forward?
Send a trace of the essence power with sinister intentions? Bah! I feel disgusted just by hearing this name!
Chen Rui was extremely exhausted physically and mentally. His brain was gradually heavy, and he was about to fall asleep. He didn't have the energy to think carefully, "Can this condition be fulfilled later?"
"No." Satan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "I don't like to owe favors. You must say it now."
The meaning was obvious. You must say a condition today, otherwise you will make me unhappy.
At this time, the abyss space had been swallowed up by the phantasm of Mountain Seckred. Chen Rui returned to the bloody altar cave. Sicali, who had almost lost his arm, was still lying unconscious on the ground.
"Then, sir, please take me and this captive to the top of the white mountain in the southernmost part of Town Massimo."
After Chen Rui said this, his consciousness began to blur. Then, he only felt the earth shaking and the space changing. In a few blinks of an eye, he was on the white mountain. Sicali was in a coma, and Satan was nowhere to be seen.
After controlling Sicali with Rolla's special shackles, Chen Rui used his last strength to send out some kind of gathering signal, then he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Dark Moon Estate, Town Dico.
The news of today's victory was spread everywhere in the barracks.
"General Gerant personally led the army to defeat the 300,000 undead army in the wilderness!"
"General Gerant is great! I've finally vented my anger! "
"In the next battle, we must completely defeat the main force of the Dark Moon!"
"…"
The capital coalition army's command tent.
Hearing the cheers of the soldiers outside, the gloom on Obsidian's face finally dissipated a lot. The generals and lords also smiled.
Obsidian said with appreciation, "Gerant, you have won a much-needed victory for us. It is a veritable top merit! As long as you can lead the army to the final victory of this war, the empire will have the youngest Duke in history. "
The title of nobility was a symbol of identity and power. Different titles had corresponding rights, such as the size of the fief, the establishment of the army in the fief and so on. The titles of the Demon Realm Empire were divided into prince (limited to the royal family), duke, marquis, count, viscount, and baron from high to low. Among the 4 lords, Jía was the lineal descendant of the Lord of Midnight Sun. She had the title of princess. Josh and Sicali were only marquises. Only a few elder families and the first general of the empire, George, had the title of duke.
Now Obsidian clearly made a promise to Gerant as a duke, and he also faintly revealed another meaning: If Gerant gives up his military power, he can get an estate that surpasses Josh and Sicali. There is currently only 1 estate that meets this requirement, the Dark Moon.
As soon as Obsidian said this, many envious and jealous eyes were cast on Gerant. The Dark Moon was now the most prosperous commercial center of the Fallen Angel Empire. Even if it was plundered after the end of this war, it was still a piece of coveted fat meat. Unexpectedly, Gerant actually had this opportunity to become the new lord of the Dark Moon.
As the person involved, Gerant showed extraordinary calmness, "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness! The main reason for today's victory is to grasp some weaknesses of the undead army. Although the Dark Moon's undead army is large in number and has unexpectedly excellent equipment, the shortcomings are also obvious. The undead soldiers themselves do not have the corresponding wisdom. They only know some instinctive simple actions. Therefore, in this kind of frontal battle on the plain, as long as the formation and soldiers are used well, a large number of undead can be effectively eliminated. This is only a small victory. According to the intelligence, the 3 legions of the Dark Moon have gathered in Town Leith. It seems that they are going to fight us head-on in the wilderness, so we must not slack off now. "
Gerant used this weakness to lead the cavalry to split the formation of the undead army. Then, he crushed them with the heavy infantry and effectively repelled Guradam. However, most of the losses were the cannon fodder skeletons. Under Athena's signal, even if Guradam retreated in defeat, he did not use the real trump card such as the skeleton magician.
Obsidian nodded and said, "Good! It seems that the enemy understands that we have seen through the details. It is useless to use those tricks again. Besides, frontal combat is our strength. Even if the Dark Moon has the assistance of the undead army, our winning rate is far higher than the opponent. "
Gerant pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, I have a battle plan that I want to report separately. By the way, Sir Josh, please stay too. This plan needs your help."
Hearing this distrustful tone, the eyes around that were full of jealousy became even more hostile. Even Josh became the target of jealousy.
Obsidian saw the dissatisfaction of the lords and generals, and he nodded, "Gerant and Josh stay. The rest of you go to rest first."
After everyone else retreated, Josh smiled bitterly at Gerant, "General, this is great. I'm 'benefiting' from you."
Gerant smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, Sir Josh."
Obsidian said, "You can say it, Gerant. What is the battle plan?"
"Your Highness, from Nesta's raid on the Moonlight Fortress to the ambush in Town Dico, we have been in a passive state as if we are led by the nose." Gerant said solemnly, "I suspect that there is a Dark Moon spy at the top of the coalition army!"
Josh's heart skipped a beat, but he was also a cunning person. He suddenly thought that if Gerant found out that he was a spy, he would design to test and expose him instead of doing it on such an occasion and in such a tone.
"Yes! There must be a problem! " Josh gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, how can Kanita die unjustly in the hands of his own people!"
Josh's eldest son, Joseph, was "killed" by the Dark Moon. Later, when he attacked the Dark Moon, he suffered heavy losses and returned in defeat. Even his heir, Kanita, died under the Dark Moon's trick. He was the biggest "victim". The righteous indignation shown under this quick wit did not arouse the suspicion of Gerant and Josh.
"Because of this, I need to report this plan to the Royal Highness Regent alone to avoid leakage." Gerant said, "Your Highness, my idea is to ambush the west of the Dark Moon from the Red Spirit Estate through Town Leia of the Shadow Empire and directly into the Dark Moon City!"
Obsidian's eyes lit up, and Josh's eyes also flashed with a strange expression.
"At present, the main force of the Dark Moon has been concentrated on the front battlefield to confront us. The Moon Shadow Legion, which was originally defending the west, must have sent out all their elites, so their defense is weak. Our military strength is better than the Dark Moon, so we can completely separate an ambush force to ambush the Walan Fortress from the west of the Red Spirit Estate through Town Leia and break through the Dark Moon City's rear in one fell swoop!"
Obsidian thought carefully for a while and said, "We have an agreement with the Shadow Empire. It is not easy for this ambush force to pass through Town Leia, and it is impossible to determine the true military strength of the Walan Fortress."
Josh said, "Since the last Red Devils incident, in order to repair the relationship with Town Leia, I have given generous gifts to the mayor, Remont, many times. We can be considered as having some friendship. This time, I can bribe heavily again and split this ambush force into parts. They should be able to pass through Town Leia, but the number of people cannot be too large. "
Gerant nodded. Josh was the Red Spirit Lord. He was extremely familiar with the environment and character relationships of the estate. The ambush plan was definitely inseparable from the suggestion of this "local tyrant". This was the real reason why Gerant asked Josh to stay.
"We can advance in both directions. There is no extra barrier on the west side of the Dark Moon after the Walan Fortress. If Jía's forces are concentrated on the front, then as long as the ambush force on the west side breaks through the Walan Fortress, we can take down the Dark Moon City from the back in one fell swoop. In case the main elite of the Moon Shadow Legion has not been transferred, then as long as this force is delayed, how can the 2 legions and the undead army, even with the pitiful force of the Blue Lava Estate, resist our frontal attack? "
Obsidian was overjoyed, "Yes! This plan is absolutely feasible! Who do you think is the most suitable commander of this ambush force? "
Gerant looked at Josh, who was a little eager, and said, "This team is likely to be the key to defeating the Dark Moon. I want to lead the elites of the headquarters. Please allow it, Your Highness."
Obsidian pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Josh rolled his eyes and said, "In order to cooperate with the general's plan just now, our frontal attack has to be slowed down a little. However, General Gerant is the deputy commander of the coalition army. If he disappears out of thin air, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of some spies, and the Dark Moon will be on guard. "
"What's your solution?"
"There is one way, but General Gerant will have to suffer." Josh smiled confidently, "At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to uncover the Dark Moon's spies …"
"Josh, I will leave the matter of interrogating the spies to you. I will give you the greatest authority."
"Yes! Your Highness, I will definitely live up to the trust and eliminate all the spies that the Dark Moon has placed in the coalition army! " Josh's resolute attitude made Obsidian very satisfied. He didn't know that this was simply a textbook case of a thief calling a thief.
In the next few days, the coalition army was talking about a shocking news. The coalition army's deputy commander, Gerant's proposal to stop the war and compromise with the Dark Moon angered the Royal Highness Regent, so he was removed from the position of deputy commander again. Immediately afterward, those lords who were originally jealous took the opportunity to add insult to injury. Under the connivance of some people, they exposed Gerant's misdeeds of embezzling military supplies, falsely claiming credit, and even colluding with the enemy generals.
The angry Obsidian imprisoned Gerant and sent someone to escort him to the Red Spirit Estate. He appointed the Red Spirit Lord Josh as the inspector to strictly investigate Gerant's accomplices in colluding with the enemy. At the same time, he ordered the coalition army to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dark Moon at any time.
A few insiders understood that Gerant took this opportunity to return to the Red Spirit Estate with the elites of the headquarters to prepare for the surprise attack plan on the West Road. The curtain of the decisive battle gradually opened.
