Under the moonlight.
Dark Moon Estate, Town Leith.
The golden-haired woman in the white dress quietly listened to the melodious tune played by the veiled woman. The night wind blew, blowing the veiled woman's cloak, revealing her graceful figure. The cloak and the golden-haired woman complemented each other, like a beautiful painting.
The capital under the moonlight was also playing this movement. The theme was blood and fire.
The White Feather Estate army that rushed into the capital was quickly divided into 3 parts. One part controlled the garrison; the other part controlled the city gate and important passages; and the other part rushed to the inner city as fast as possible.
The inner city was in a state of chaos. There were not many places on fire, and it was not an important place, but the explosion was too terrifying. It spread from the core of the capital, the palace. The power was so terrifying that even the palace's protective magic circle could not resist it. Immediately afterward, the inner city's government hall and the Red Devil Legion barracks were also attacked by explosions.
The second general, Doren. Rus, who guarded the capital, was in a terrible situation. Not only did his mansion catch fire, but there was also an explosion in the palace, followed by explosions everywhere. Looking at the route, it seemed that a dangerous "terrorist" was throwing "bombs" along the way.
Before the chaos of the explosion and fire subsided, there was another emergency. The inner city was surrounded by a large number of unknown troops, and the city gate was in danger.
Where did this large number of troops come from? Doren was surprised and immediately led the Red Devil Legion to meet the enemy. When he was about to reach the city gate, he received the bad news that the deputy commander, Denzel, who was in charge of the city gate defense, killed Commander Vergil and let the enemy into the city.
At this time, a large number of enemies had poured into the inner city. Doren couldn't help but be furious when he saw Denzel at the front. Denzel was the former subordinate of the first general, George. Wales. When George openly opposed Regent Obsidian, Denzel did not hesitate to side with him, the second general. Over the years, although he did not enter the direct line of the Red Devils Legion, he was regarded as being put in an important position. I didn't expect him to betray again!
Dolon urged his horse forward, and the greatsword in his hand, Soul Shatterer, drew a red arc in the air. A shocking crack appeared on the ground, and raging flames rose from the crack as it rapidly extended towards Danzel.
Denzel's strength was only at the later stage of the Great Demon King. How could he resist the angry sword of a Demon Emperor? Seeing that he was about to be killed on the spot, a sword suddenly appeared in front of him.
The edge of the sword was a demonic lion. Its mouth bit out the engraved patterns on the body of the sword, emitting a faint blue light.
This sword had stabbed into the ground after Duolun, and before the flames from the crack could even touch it, it had already rolled back. Duolun was startled and hurriedly reined in his horse. He pointed the giant sword in his hand, and a wave of sword qi blocked the pillar of fire that shot out from the crack. However, both he and his horse were pushed back by the intense fluctuations.
"Lion Fang Sword!" Duolun looked at the familiar figure in front of the sword, his heart pounding.
It was because of this person that Regent Obsidian had not dared to kill the Dark Moon over the years; It was because of this person that the Warlock Fortress adjacent to the Bloody Empire had always been impregnable; It was because of this person that no matter how brilliant the second general was, he could only be the second of the three generals.
In an instant, Duolun finally understood why Denzel would betray. Or rather, Denzel was a chess piece buried by this person beside him from the beginning!
In the palace's secret vault, Old Cowen and Oliver both had solemn expressions. At first, they thought that the "capital's night banquet" mentioned in the delayed recording stone was just a trick to trick them to leave and steal the Sword of Fallen Angel. However, after the loud noise in the distant palace, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
Then one after another shocking news came. There were explosions and fires everywhere. At least tens of thousands of troops attacked the capital!
Oliver and Old Cowen couldn't believe it. Where did these tens of thousands of troops come from?
The Bloody Empire tore up the alliance and attacked the Fallen Angel Empire? Both the Warlock Fortress and the White Feather Estate have fallen? Why is there no relevant information coming?
By the way, the recording stone of the "night banquet" … Could it be the Dark Moon's army?
This is ridiculous!
How many troops does the Dark Moon have? Moreover, they are now fighting with the coalition army led by the regent personally. How can they transfer so many troops to the capital without anyone knowing?
According to the latest news, the enemy had breached the gate of the inner city, and they were currently fighting fiercely with the Red Devil Legion of General Duolun. Now both Old Cowen and Oliver couldn't sit still. No eggs can remain intact when the nest is overturned. Once the Red Devil Legion is defeated, both the palace and the elder families will suffer a fatal blow.
The 2 made a prompt decision and used the emergency authority to completely close the entire secret vault. This kind of closure must be performed by 2 guardians at the same time. Even if it was opened again, it would take half a month to enter.
The closure was not only to prevent someone who was suspected of taking advantage of the situation, but also to guard against the invading army so that the 2 of them could act separately. Oliver guarded the palace, organized the imperial guards to extinguish the fire, protect the palace, and strengthen the palace's defense. Old Cowen went to the inner city to gather the power of the elder families to assist the Red Devil Legion to destroy the enemy.
After Old Cowen left the palace, he rushed all the way. Along the way, he saw the fire soaring into the sky and the continuous sound of explosions. He couldn't help but frown, and he sped up again.
In his line of sight, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked in front of him. This person was wearing a cloak that covered his head and body. It looked particularly strange under the purple moonlight.
Old Cowen felt that the figure was just at the Great Demon King level, so his charging speed did not weaken. He secretly bent his middle finger, and 3 strong sharp qi broke through the air, whistling toward the cloaked man in a triangular formation.
Old Cowen thought that this blow would definitely kill the opponent, so he didn't bother with this kind of small fry. His figure swept past the cloaked man like the wind. Just as his body passed the cloaked man, he suddenly had a strong warning sign. He felt a sharp force coming from behind at high speed. He turned around in a hurry, and the sharp force left a bloody wound under his ribs.
The sound of a sonic boom sounded immediately. It instantly reached the air in front of him from behind. The flying speed was so fast that even Old Cowen, who was at the peak stage of the Demon Overlord, felt inferior.
Old Cowen reacted extremely quickly. Without waiting for the enemy to stabilize his figure, he flicked his 2 fingers continuously, and countless sharp qi surrounded the cloaked man. The cloaked man's hands glowed with a faint light, drawing a water-like trajectory in the air. The sharp qi in the sky was obviously extremely fast, but when it encountered this "slow" power, it actually slowed down strangely. Then, it suddenly accelerated and blasted in all directions. Dust splashed from the nearby houses and the ground, and the sound of destruction continued. Many small potholes appeared one after another, and there were large cobweb-like cracks around the potholes.
This familiar mysterious technique made Old Cowen startled. He shouted in surprise and anger, "It turns out to be you! What the hell do you want to do? Where did those troops come from?! "
"Princess Royal and Obsidian's battlefield is not just the Dark Moon." Chen Rui replied faintly, "With the capital as a heavyweight, the balance of the war will tilt to the true master of the empire."
Old Cowen's eyes flashed, "The true master of the empire will not destroy the entire capital!"
"The destruction of the old means a new beginning. To break the original decaying pattern, it is inevitable to destroy some things. Do you still remember the hope I mentioned in the secret vault? The elder families should stay out of it and preserve the vitality for the true emperor and the entire empire. Don't sacrifice in vain in this kind of internal strife! "
"Oliver and I originally had a good impression of you, but now I don't want to listen to this kind of rhetoric anymore! Today, only one of us can go back alive. Let me see your true power! " A terrifying murderous aura emanated from Old Cowen. The storm-like power in the expanding breath was on the verge of breaking out. Compared with the current situation, the previous situation in the palace's secret vault could only be regarded as a breeze and drizzle.
"Then one last question, do you still remember the bet between us?"
"Of course!" Old Cowen sneered, "But you didn't …"
Before he finished speaking, the sneer froze on Old Cowen's face. He saw the cloaked man take out a long package from behind, then pour a bottle of blood on his hand. He pulled out a sword from the package and raised it high. Under the moonlight, it made a slight humming sound, which actually drowned out the sounds of fighting and explosions in the distance.
Old Cowen's face was full of disbelief. For him, who had guarded this sword for hundreds of years, he could feel at the first moment that this was definitely the real Sword of Fallen Angel!
This is incredible. Just before I came out of the palace, I also activated the emergency mechanism and joined forces with Oliver to close the secret vault. If I want to forcibly destroy the completely closed secret vault, even if there are 10 peak stage of the Demon Overlord, I can't succeed. How did this "Aguile" get the Sword of Fallen Angel!
Chen Rui saw Old Cowen's horror and sighed, "Don't you understand yet? This is the artifact's own will! "
Old Cowen was shocked: The artifact can choose its own recognized master. This is indeed true, but the artifact automatically passes through the secret vault … It's incredible, but this is the only explanation that makes sense at present. Otherwise, did this Aguile spend more than 10 minutes in the palace guarded by Oliver to break into the sealed secret vault and steal the artifact? This doesn't make sense!
"As a guardian, do you really want to violate the will of the artifact and the will of the empire?" Chen Rui shook his head, "Or do you want to bet the future of the entire elder family and the empire on the usurper who is about to be annihilated by the artifact's will? Sir should have heard that the capital coalition army has suffered repeated setbacks in the Dark Moon, right? Then, sir, please continue to wait and see how the Dark Moon creates miracles. The new king of the empire will be crowned with the blood of the traitors! "
Old Cowen's murderous aura had gradually subsided, and Chen Rui took the opportunity to add, "I don't ask the elder families to deal with the Red Devil Legion. You just need to stay out of it. As long as the elder families remain silent tonight, I can guarantee that I will never hurt the elder families. "
Old Cowen's expression changed. He was obviously hesitating. The bet was actually just an excuse, but the current situation really made it difficult for him to choose.
"Don't worry, Sir Cowen. I can swear in front of the supreme artifact that if the elder families can adhere to the position of protecting the artifact and the empire, even after the new order is established in the future, their status and interests will be preserved! I didn't fabricate this out of thin air, but it is a promise from Princess Jía … or soon it will be called Her Majesty Jía! "
Old Cowen took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, "Well, as a guardian, I can't violate the will of the artifact. I will immediately go back and urgently summon all the elder families to stay put. I can even help you persuade my old friend who guards the palace. However, Princess Jía, please remember your promise to the artifact! "
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, and he nodded solemnly. Old Cowen promised not only to stay put, but also to persuade Oliver. It was definitely an unexpected gain. As for the will of the artifact … Chen Rui was really a little embarrassed.
In fact, it was very simple. The 2 star points of the [Star Gate], the secret vault of the Sword of Fallen Angel, and a hidden place in the inner city. After the 2 guardians were lured out, he would open a door to take the Sword of Fallen Angel, then he would open another door to return to the hidden place in the inner city.
As for the star points of the White Feather Estate and the Dark Moon, they had been cancelled. Under Sicali's order, the forces of Town Ista in the north of the estate had been quickly dispatched to Town Kedonno in the south. At the same time, an elite force of the Warlock Fortress led by General George personally came to the south.
The conflict caused by the plunder had long been resolved. When Sicali led the army to Town Kedonno and began to march to the capital, the lord's mansion issued a notice signed by Sicali to each town. After investigation, the major damage suffered by the 3 towns of Ista was not done by the subordinates of General George of the Warlock Fortress, but it was a shameless trick of the capital's Regent Obsidian to provoke the hostility between the Warlock Fortress and the White Feather Estate.
After citing a series of crimes of Obsidian, Sicali stated that the White Feather Estate would now respond to the call of the Dark Moon Princess Royal to firmly overthrow the evil forces led by Obsidian. If it was another estate, even the Dark Moon, it was impossible to deal with the capital with just a notice. They must mobilize and call in every possible way. However, the White Feather Estate was different. In order to obtain the faith power through the Wheel of Hera, the "predecessor" Sicali spared no effort to use various means to deceive the trust and piety of the subjects. He turned the people of the White Feather Estate into fanatics. As long as Sicali said a word, even the capital would become the target of condemnation.
Sicali reminded Chen Rui of the general of heaven who "the heavens are dead and the yellow sky will rise" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, he had obviously seized the fruit of labor of the great master of this plane. The White Feather Estate, which was originally one of Obsidian's minions, had become a fatal knife that stabbed the back of the old master.
"General, there are too many enemies. The soldiers are starting to lose their hold!"
"General Dayeru is dead!"
"General Xi Wen is dead!"
These bad news made Doren couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Several serious injuries on his body began to hurt. He was barely supporting with the Soul Shattering Greatsword. If it weren't for the guards who risked their lives to save him, he would have died under George's Lion Tooth Sword.
I thought that I could already compete with the first general who had always been ranked above me after I crossed a small realm to reach the peak stage of the Demon Emperor a while ago. Unexpectedly … George. Wales had already broken through to the Demon Overlord!
Doren smiled bitterly. What made him even more desperate was that he had sent dozens of people to break out of the encirclement and ask for help from the imperial guards and the major families, but the palace and the elder families seemed to have evaporated. There was still no movement until now. Could it be …
"Fight to the death!" Doren raised the Soul Shattering Greatsword and roared. Unlike the elder families, there was no way out since he chose Obsidian back then. A villain who repeated his actions would be despised by everyone.
Only a fight to the death.
In front of the Dark Moon's military tent, the music of Quqin became clearer and more melodious. It was almost synchronized. In another surging movement, the soldiers who were advancing one after another under the illumination of the fire, the scarlet all over the ground reflected the 2 bloody moons, and the wailing of the Lion Tooth Sword that almost broke when the giant sword collided with the Lion Tooth Sword … It seemed to have turned into dancing notes, pushing the theme of blood and fire to the climax.
