Dark Moon. Over Town Dico, the purple moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. The thick haze in the sky was like the gloomy face of someone in the military tent below.
Tomorrow was the date of the decisive battle, but the face of the capital coalition army commander and the Fallen Angel Empire's Regent Obsidian. Lucifer was gloomy, not because of nervousness, but because of the huge changes that had happened in the past few days.
It was equivalent to being beaten several times by the opponent before the duel began.
First of all, 2 days ago, a thunderous news gave Royal Highness Obsidian, who was full of confidence to conquer the Dark Moon, a blow to the head.
The Fallen Angel Capital was captured by the joint army of the Warlock Fortress and the White Feather Estate led by the First General George. Wales!
The elder families and the royal families who stayed behind defected to the enemy! The second general, Doren. Rus, was killed in battle, and the Red Devil Legion was wiped out! All the trusted families were uprooted!
In an instant, Obsidian almost thought that there was something wrong with his judgment. After confirming it over and over again, the intelligence in his hand had been burned to ashes by the uncontrollable [Dark Flame].
George! Sicali! The elder families! The royal families who stayed behind! Obsidian gritted his teeth and cursed the name of every traitor. The entire command center was almost turned into powder by the power of anger.
Compared with General George, who had always stood on the opposite side of the enemy, Obsidian hated the shameless villain of the White Feather Estate, Sicali more. On the surface, he flattered the capital and used tricks to deal with the Warlock Fortress, but he secretly sided with General George and conspired to capture the capital. There are also the royal families and elder families who stayed behind in the capital. They actually joined forces with outsiders to stab me in the back!
No matter how rich and threatening the Dark Moon is, it is just an estate, but the capital is the most important foundation of the entire empire!
However, the current situation is already difficult to back down. Whether we stay put or retreat rashly to attack the capital, we will be attacked from both sides by the Dark Moon and the capital. The only solution now is to destroy the Dark Moon as quickly as possible, and then go back to the capital to give a thunderous blow to the rebels in the capital.
When the news of the capital's fall came, only Obsidian, Josh, and a few lords and generals knew about it. Josh immediately proposed to block the news before the decisive battle so as not to shake the morale of the army.
Josh's reaction and loyalty made Obsidian feel a little relieved. This suggestion was exactly what he wanted. He immediately ordered Josh to personally lead a team to inspect the various estates to prevent spies from spreading rumors.
The distance between the imperial capital and Town Dico was quite far, and the channels for information to be transmitted were all through exclusive communication stations. Ordinary people could not know. Under the blockade of various means, the soldiers who were kept in the dark did not know that the capital had been captured. They were still eager for the arrival of the decisive battle.
However, just when His Royal Highness Regent's heart was not completely at ease, he was slapped in the face again. Just this afternoon, the news that the capital was captured by the rebels suddenly spread quickly throughout the coalition army!
What he feared had come true! Tomorrow was the day of the decisive battle. If something went wrong at such a crucial time, there wouldn't even be time to calm them down!
Obsidian was so angry that he kicked Josh, who was in charge of supervision, to the ground. He blamed him for his dereliction of duty and wanted to punish him severely with military law.
Josh quickly explained that he had been leading the supervision team to personally investigate the barracks for the past 2 days, and he had also placed spies in every barracks. He did not find any signs of trouble beforehand. According to the investigation, there were 2 sources of the news this afternoon. They were General Amsty's Black Incubus Cavalry Legion and the elder family's Demon Overlord, Lagraros' men. These 2 people were exactly the ones who were present when Obsidian burned the intelligence.
Josh then specifically stated that there was no conclusive evidence that the news was leaked at the behest of Amsty and Lagraros. This was probably the enemy's trick.
Obsidian was originally suspicious. After the capital fell, he became suspicious of everyone around him. What he was most afraid of was that the elder families and royal families in the coalition army would betray him like those guys in the capital. Now, the news leak was like a fuse that ignited Obsidian's suppressed rage. Regardless of everyone's pleas, he directly captured Amsty and Lagraros and beheaded them in public.
Beheading the general before the decisive battle was quite unfavorable, but in this sensitive and extraordinary period, Obsidian had already made up his mind. At present, the truth of the capital's capture could not be concealed. The morale had suffered a huge blow. Ordinary methods were difficult to work. He could only use the fastest and most effective bloody means to calm the people and the army's morale. From this perspective, these 2 people were the chickens used to warn others. Whether they were innocent or not, they must die.
The execution of Amsty and Lagraros caused considerable agitation. Obsidian quickly made promises to all the soldiers to loot freely after defeating the Dark Moon, and he barely stabilized the situation.
Obsidian understood in his heart that this stability was only on the surface. Only a big victory could truly stabilize the army's morale. In any case, tomorrow's battle must be won. We must defeat the Dark Moon's main force. Otherwise, if it continues to delay, once George leads the army south, the coalition army will fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides.
On the other hand, there was still no news from Gerant, who raided the western part of the Dark Moon. Sometimes, no news was also a kind of news. By now, Obsidian was mentally prepared for the worst. However, even if Gerant's entire army was annihilated, it could also show that there was a considerable part of the Dark Moon's defense forces on the west side. Then, the main force of the Dark Moon Army in Town Dico should be incomplete. There would be a higher chance of winning tomorrow's decisive battle.
His Royal Highness Regent may not have realized it himself. The war that he thought had no suspense at the beginning, when did it need to be carefully calculated minute by minute?
In Town Leith, south of Town Dico, in the central military tent of the Dark Moon Army, Jía stood quietly alone in front of the hanging military map. Her emotions fluctuated. At this time, it was superfluous to study any strategy and tactics at the last minute. Whether it was a dragon or a snake, it depended on tomorrow's battle.
The news that General George had captured the capital had already spread in the Dark Moon Army. The soldiers were all excited. Just like what Jía said at the mobilization meeting before the decisive battle during the day, tomorrow's battle would be a battle to regain the glory of the Red Blood Flame Flag and rewrite the history of the Fallen Angel Empire.
In addition to the good news from the capital, there were also good news from the west. Athena successfully disintegrated the surprise attack of the third general of the empire, Gerant, at the Walan Fortress. Gerant himself was captured alive, and the 2,000 soldiers of the Saber-toothed Tiger Legion became prisoners. Now that all the favorable factors that could be used had basically played a role, the key depended on tomorrow's battle.
If Obsidian could be defeated in this battle, then her father's dream for many years and the heavy mission that she had been carrying would be realized; if she failed, not only would she lose troops, but her vitality would also be greatly damaged. Moreover, the capital and the forces that had been watching from the sidelines might rise. The previous plans would be ruined, and the Dark Moon would also fall into a desperate situation under the pressure. Whether it was for her, for Obsidian, or for the entire Fallen Angel Empire, it was a real decisive battle.
This battle had been waiting for since her father, the former crown prince of the empire, Grimm. Lucifer. After she took over as the lord, although the Dark Moon had been in the difficult stage of being sanctioned and suppressed by Obsidian, she had never given up this belief.
She had imagined the arrival of this battle countless times, but now that the extravagant hope had miraculously become a reality, there was a dream-like feeling in her heart. Everything was because of that man, the miracle creator.
Without that man, the Dark Moon would never have achieved what it had today. Perhaps she would still be the struggling princess. Without the Dark Moon, with that man's outstanding ability, he could also create dazzling brilliance on another stage.
All kinds of past scenes appeared in front of her eyes like a picture scroll. Jía's undulating thoughts gradually calmed down. Only the faint warmth lingered in her heart, showing an unprecedented peace.
Unlike the excitement generated when Isabella deliberately stimulated her fighting spirit previously, this was a real peace.
There was no turning back. No matter what the outcome of tomorrow's battle was, she would not regret it. Just like when the man shouted "For Princess Royal" and rode alone toward the Red Spirit Estate's 100,000 army; Just like when a "stupid woman" opened her heart to him for the first time in the secret room.
I miss you very much.
I just miss you very much.
Jía closed her eyes gently.
At this time, in the north of the Dark Moon City, a black horse crossed Town Jumo in the night and rushed in the direction of Town Leith.
The speed of the black horse was extremely amazing. It even surpassed the speed of demonic beasts flying in the air. There was a black shadow lying on the back of the horse as if he was asleep. This black horse was extremely magical. Although it was fast, it was much steadier than ordinary mounts. No matter how steep the terrain was, it only made the owner behind it shake slightly. It would not fall off the horse.
This person and the horse were Chen Rui and the little black horse. After settling the capital, Chen Rui learned the news that the Dark Moon and the coalition army had set a decisive battle. Since the 2 star points of the [Star Gate] were set in the capital when he stole the Sword of Fallen Angel, he had rushed back to the Dark Moon directly. However, he still had a shortcut which was the Rainbow Valley on the outskirts of the capital.
Chen Rui was now the real male owner of the Rainbow Valley. He could enter the valley and avoid those magic circles with his eyes closed. At this time, Rolla was no longer in the Rainbow Valley. She obviously went to Town Leith to participate in the decisive battle. Chen Rui used the space channel of the Rainbow Valley to quickly return to the garden of the Dark Moon residence.
At this time, the wyverns and flying demonic beasts of the Dark Moon City were basically transferred to the front line. Fortunately, Chen Rui still had the little black horse that had been raised in the yard. Although there were many more detours on the ground than in the air, the speed of the little black horse should be able to make up for this deficiency as much as possible.
Chen Rui was not falling asleep on the horse's back because of fatigue, but he had entered the training ground of the Super System. It was actually not safe to enter the training ground in this state, but there was not much time left. He could only seize every minute and second.
For a long time, the Super System was just an existence similar to a smart computer in Chen Rui's cognition. This "computer" could be upgraded and its functions could be materialized. He was just a user with this unique benefit. Alkaid state, Mizar state … until the current Phecda state. As the level increased, more functions were developed.
Since experiencing the "inheritance" of the ancient alchemy civilization, under the impact of the Demi-God soul power, his perception of the Super System had a new change. It had nothing to do with the "function", but the Super System itself.
From the chaotic space to the star to the formation of the galaxy, the whole process was the evolution of life in the universe, especially the animals, plants and even humans on those planets. They gave him the feeling that they were living existences, not digital virtual things.
In other words, the Super System was a life, a living body that was constantly evolving and breeding.
What is life? Is it just a meaning of "existence" in the universe?
This was a huge topic, and it was also a topic without a standard answer.
In the universe, the moment life was born meant the beginning of death. Whether it was the Dragons that could live for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the corpse necromancer that claimed to be immortal, even the legendary gods, in the face of the vast truth of the universe, it was just a fleeting moment after all. Any immortal life would decay, including the universe itself.
Chen Rui didn't think too much about such broad things. As a human, he thought about life in a simple sense, such as himself. Human life could be passed on from generation to generation through the bloodline. Even if it couldn't be passed on, it would turn into the soil or dust of the earth after death, and it would breed flowers and plants again to exist as a new life. Life and death, destruction and birth, the cycle was endless. This was the true meaning of life and the truth of the universe.
To be alive was to exist. Before the destruction, it had always been existing.
Existence was the reason, and existence had the meaning.
Don't give up life easily; don't give up what you have easily. Cherish everything that exists. This was the meaning of life as he understood it.
After this conceptual change, Chen Rui seemed to have found a breakthrough in a certain bottleneck. He entered a state of "looking at the mountain but not the mountain, looking at the water but not the water". For example, the same orbit of the stars. He didn't look at it as the "boot screen", nor did he look at it as the "program and formula", but he really understood the truth and mystery contained in it.
When Chen Rui used his understanding of the meaning of life to understand and touch the life form of the Super System, there was an incompatible conflict and also a subtle fusion. In the process of this contradiction and unification, a trace of understanding that couldn't be touched before was deepening, and the degree of compatibility with the Super System was also increasing little by little.
One day in the training ground was equivalent to 100 days. As time passed, the Phecda Experience Value in the status bar that had been stagnant began to jump at an amazing speed. However, Chen Rui didn't know this. He had forgotten about time and himself. He was completely immersed in this mysterious realm of fusion.
Not only that, in a long bag wrapped in black cloth on Chen Rui's back, a sword that couldn't be stored in the storage warehouse was also quickly changing into an unknown light under the analysis of a certain skill.
As the little black horse galloped like the wind, the morning sun had slowly brightened with a thin mist.
