Jía was a little surprised to see Chen Rui who returned, but Isabella's report immediately focused her attention.
Isabella reported 2 things. The first was about the Bloody Empire. Some time ago, the Bloody Empire Emperor Raizen had an epiphany, so he was training behind closed doors. He handed over the state affairs to Great Prince Aleus, and Second Prince Edmund assisted. Obsidian's crusade against the Dark Moon also deliberately chose this time, but unfortunately, he was defeated and died in the end.
The 2 ruling princes of the Bloody Empire were already fighting openly and secretly for the position of the first heir. Now the contradiction was even worse, and it gradually evolved to an uncontrollable level. A few days ago, Edmund, who was suppressed by Aleus, finally adopted the most extreme means. He launched a mutiny when Aleus went out for inspection, but he fell into Aleus's ambush instead. He was forced to lead the remaining soldiers to escape from the capital. He was currently fighting against Aleus in the north of the Iron Fist Estate.
Aleus publicly declared Edmund as a traitor as the regent prince, while Edmund claimed that Aleus persecuted his brother, deceived his father Raizen, and conspired to subvert the entire Bloody Empire. Now the 2 forces were in a stalemate.
Chen Rui's spirit was refreshed, "The Bloody Empire has been eyeing covetously. I was originally worried that the Bloody Empire would take advantage of the civil war of the Fallen Angel Empire to launch an attack, but I didn't expect them to have internal strife. It seems that Raizen's retreat this time is' just in time '. Without this threat, Princess Royal can quickly rush to the capital and immediately ascend the throne as the empress to stabilize the entire empire. "
"No, Princess Royal Highness can't go to the capital yet." Isabella shook her head, "Because of the second news, the envoy sent by the Shadow Empire to the Dark Moon is already on the way. When we received the news of the official visit, the envoy had already passed Town Walan. Moreover, according to the latest intel, the Shadow Empire's forces are actively mobilizing. "
Chen Rui was taken aback, "The Shadow Empire's forces are mobilizing?"
"From the current intel, it is going to the east and south. The predicted target may be Town Leia in the west of the Dark Moon and the Tekula Fortress formerly guarded by General Gerant. The Jergal Fortress adjacent to the Moon Shadow Empire and the Bloody Empire doesn't seem to be moving. It is obviously targeting the Fallen Angel Empire. "
Jía looked solemn, "It seems that Gerant is right. The closest ally is probably the most ferocious enemy. Our biggest enemy now is not the Bloody Empire, but the Shadow Empire."
"Isabella" Jía said with a solemn expression, "Gerant is right. Our biggest enemy. our biggest enemy now is is not the Empire but the Shadow Empire." During our war with Obsidian, the Dark Shadow Empire relaxed economic restrictions and provided many favorable conditions, attracting many merchants from the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Moon Empire. "
Isabella analyzed seriously, "I have a guess that the Dark Moon obtained General Crawford's magician legion and goblin brigade from the Bloody Vine Flower Estate. It is probably also inspired by Catherine the Great. The more powerful we are, the more intense the war with Obsidian will be. In other words, the Fallen Angel Empire's internal friction will be more intense. Her Majesty Empress is not only patient, but she also has a far-sighted vision. She can harm the enemy and strengthen us without any bloodshed. She is indeed the wisest person in the Demon Realm. "
Jía looked thoughtful and nodded. Lord Crawford of the Bloody Vine Flower Estate has a good personal relationship with me, but Crawford is also the third general and lord loyal to the Shadow Empire. Forget about some supplies to support the Dark Moon. The Magician Legion and goblin warriors are the real elites and precious army resources. This kind of gift is too "heavy". Now it seems that this is to increase the Dark Moon's bargaining chips against the capital. The Shadow Empire has been holding a wait-and-see attitude since the beginning of the civil war in the Fallen Angel Empire. Even Gerant's sneak attack on the Dark Moon's army successfully passed through Town Leia. It may also be some kind of acquiescence from the higher-ups.
Chen Rui was silent for a while. He knew Catherine better than Jía and Isabella. She was a wise and paranoid woman. She was a truly mature and powerful empire controller. As long as she could create real peace, she would never be stingy with war and force. The Bloody Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire's internal strife gave Catherine a godsend opportunity. Although the Bloody Empire was currently in chaos, Raizen the Great was still there. With Raizen, it was impossible for the Bloody Empire to fall. What Catherine could do was to further intensify the conflict between the 2 princes and try to hurt the Bloody Empire's internal strife this time. The Fallen Angel Empire was different. The war against the Dark Moon this time had caused serious internal friction. There were several Demon Overlords, more than a dozen Demon Emperors, the empire's regent and the second general were dead, and the military losses were more than 500,000. In this weakest state, if Catherine could still remain indifferent, she would not be Catherine.
There was no real friendship between empires. Even if there was peaceful coexistence on the surface, there were still countless exhausting games behind. Chen Rui had a hunch that with Jía's official ascension, he would inevitably play the role of an enemy and stand opposite to Catherine, who was the empress.
"Gerant and Rometty should already be preparing to select soldiers. Immediately order him and Rometty's Flying Cloud Legion to set off first. Use the demonic beasts in the air to rush to Tekula Fortress as soon as possible to set up defense. Tim's Moon Shadow Legion has returned to Walan Fortress, but the troops are not enough. " Jía pondered, "In this war, the 3 legions of the Dark Moon lost nearly half of their forces, and the original capital coalition army suffered more than half of their casualties. It can be said to be a great blow to their vitality. Although the current recruitment of recruits is smooth, it is impossible to form an army in a short time. It is really nerve-racking."
"What about the undead legion?" Isabella narrowed her blue eyes, "The casualties this time should be a good supplement for the undead legion."
Jía shook her head, "If we haven't eliminated Obsidian, we can indeed do this, but now that Obsidian has been executed and the capital coalition army has all surrendered, if their dead comrades are transformed into undead creatures, then I will gain far more than I lose. Moreover, in the battle with Obsidian, the Dark Moon's trump card has been completely exposed. There are no secrets in terms of military power. With Catherine's wisdom, if she really wants to launch a war, there will definitely be targeted deployments. "
Isabella shrugged like Chen Rui's habitual action, but Jía could faintly guess that Isabella should be able to guess the problem of the undead. The purpose of raising this opinion was more to remind her.
Chen Rui finally said, "Don't worry about the undead materials for the time being. Guradam once said that there are at least 300,000 soldiers in the ancient battlefield of Town Yankou that can be used. If he helps guard the Walan Fortress, it should be able to block the possible attack. The Dark Shadow Empire's envoy will probably return in one or two days. Now we can only adapt to the situation. Let's first see what news this envoy brings. At the same time, Princess Royal Highness should make all the preparations to go to the capital. "
Jía nodded. In fact, in the past few days, she had already finished settling the Dark Moon and was ready to leave. However, because Chen Rui had not woken up, and the most important Sword of Fallen Angel was missing, she had been waiting with the reason of consolidating her realm.
The 3 discussed related matters for a while. Jía summoned Old Gauss, Sarandi, Gerant and others to discuss, while Chen Rui and Isabella left the palace to do things separately.
When walking to the outer courtyard, Chen Rui said, "If you confirm the details of the Shadow Empire's envoy, let someone tell me immediately."
Isabella nodded. Her voice suddenly became charming as she asked, "Why don't you ask me if I'm free tonight? Is it because of a certain Royal Highness's important matter that you are not in the mood? "
Chen Rui's eyes lit up, "Mood is actually nothing, so … beautiful and charming lady, do you still remember a certain promise? Can you leave the door open for me tonight? "
"I have always had a good memory. It's okay to leave the door open." Isabella's blue eyes flickered, "It's just that you have to deal with the little black dragon sister guarding the door first."
Olypheus was now stuck in Isabella's house every day, which meant that if Chen Rui wanted to fulfill certain benefits, he must first get rid of the eyesore, Black Miss Long.
"Why is Olypheus so attached to you suddenly? She even calls you sister? "
Isabella spread her hands helplessly: It's better to call sister than mother … The first thing the little black dragon chick did when she woke up from her coma was to call me mother. It almost made the always calm Ms. Intelligence Leader lose her composure.
These days, she took care of Olypheus's injuries, but she didn't deliberately express it. She didn't know why, but this chick liked her and kept sticking to her.
Isabella sighed, "It's good to have Olypheus here, lest I'm always alone at my place. I can only look forward to the one or two hours of kindness that someone occasionally allocates every day."
"I'm sorry." Chen Rui lowered his head guiltily, "I'm very selfish, why don't you just move to …"
"Don't think that I'm as gullible as your women." Isabella snorted softly, but her eyes looking at this man showed a touch of gentleness, "Since you feel guilty, then a certain promise is canceled. We don't owe each other anything. If you are free, you are welcome to come to my deserted little place. I think Olypheus will be very happy to see her big financial boss."
It's over, now even the benefits are gone.
Princess Royal Highness is like this, and so is Madam Aunt. Princess Royal Highness at least delayed the payment, and Madam Aunt simply closed the account.
"You don't recognize me after eating? Are all women so irresponsible?" Chen Rui turned his head angrily and walked away. Seeing that there were no patrolling guards nearby, he suddenly appeared in front of Isabella in an instant. He teleported to a certain corner, then he lifted the veil and pressed on the slightly purplish red lips.
[Double Teleportation] was used to do this kind of thing. It was really a pearl covered with dust.
Isabella was caught off guard and wanted to struggle, but now Chen Rui's basic power had reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor, and his spirit power had reached S +. Isabella couldn't break free without increasing her strength. She bit the man's lips hard, but Chen Rui still didn't let go. Slowly, the resistance became active. Their lips and tongues intertwined. After a long time, the 2 sides slowly separated.
Isabella looked at his swollen lips, and she gently stroked them with her fingers distressed, "It's not that I didn't keep my promise, it's just … I haven't completely overcome the difficulties, right?"
The so-called "overcoming difficulties" was the condition of a previous welfare.
"I don't care what difficulties you have, and I don't care how deep the knot in your heart is. I don't even care about being a substitute. You just need to know one thing." Chen Rui hugged her domineeringly, "You owe me a few lives. You can't let yourself die again without my permission! Do you understand? "
Isabella trembled, "What do you mean?"
Chen Rui didn't speak. He just looked straight into her eyes. Isabella looked away, gently broke free from his embrace, and put on the veil.
"Don't be smart." Isabella's eyes were a little red. She turned her back and walked out slowly, "I have to go back to the stronghold first to deal with the envoy's intelligence."
"Inni …" Chen Rui sighed, "I'll only say this. You have died once, and you can even start over again. What else can't you start over again?"
Isabella's body paused, and her voice was a little low, "Give me some time."
