In the evening.
The moonlight in the sky gradually turned purple.
Her Majesty Empress stood on the balcony, holding the railing with both hands. Her beautiful and deep black eyes looked down at the little sparks under the mountain thoughtfully.
The cool breeze blew, gently blowing her black hair and wide robe back, showing the perfect outline of her body. She was floating like a fairy.
"Lilith, are you here?" The empress's voice sounded. Her voice was extremely pleasant, revealing a kind of tranquility.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The woman in blue robe at the foot of the steps bowed and responded. She saw that the empress was contemplating just now, so she didn't come out to disturb her.
"Has the intelligence from Jergal Fortress come back?"
"There is no new intelligence for the time being. The first general is very calm. Even when we put on the posture of a decisive battle with the Fallen Angel Empire, it was still the same. However, the tricks in the dark have not stopped. After we signed the alliance agreement with the Fallen Angel Empire, Broc executed several people for colluding with the enemy. These people were his cronies and also the undercover agents we sent. It is likely to eliminate some traces. For now, we don't have much evidence to bring him down. "
Lilith thought for a while and added, "Broc was seriously injured for unknown reasons last time. Now half of his body is made of mechanical materials. His true strength is likely to exceed the average Demon Overlord."
"His personal strength is not enough to be feared." The empress shook her head, "What I'm afraid of is the Fire Blade Legion he controls. The Fire Blade Legion is the empire's first legion. Its combat power is extremely powerful, enough to compete with the most elite troops of the Bloody Empire. I want to take back this power completely. I must not let it die in his hands. Broc is the first general to respond to the military reform I implemented. Coupled with his prestige in the army, it is really difficult to deal with him openly. This time, I put on the posture of taking advantage of the situation to attack the Fallen Angel Empire. I also have the intention of luring the snake out of its hole, but this' snake 'is calm. "
"Even so, with the implementation of the military reform, Broc's control over the army is continuously declining. It's only a matter of time before we get rid of him. On the other hand, the safety of Sir Florence and Madam Medelu … After the failure of the last secret rescue operation, it has instead raised Broc's vigilance. If we want to sneak into the fortress again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
The Empress nodded slightly. "'Waiting' is admittedly a stable method, but it is inevitable that many unexpected situations will occur. Unfortunately, with the current situation, this is the most appropriate method. As for Uncle, don't act rashly for the time being."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lilith hesitated. "One more thing …"
"Say it, Lilith. You are my most trusted subordinate. There are no outsiders here. Just say what you want to say."
Lilith lowered her head and said, "It's Prince Vikirsa, who has admired His Majesty for many years. He wants to probe His Majesty's intentions through me …"
"Vikirsa? What else did he have other than his face and the status of a prince that he had obtained through the chaos? A petty trick that can't be shown in public? " The Empress snorted coldly. She didn't hide her contempt in front of this trusted subordinate. "When I was still a princess, he used all kinds of means to get me. He even used the military force in his hands to threaten me during the internal strife. Even then, he didn't succeed, let alone now!"
"I know His Majesty hates him, but in terms of identity and status, Vikirsa is currently the most suitable candidate." Lilith sighed and showed a serious expression. "His Majesty has been single for many years. It's time for him to have a husband. This is not only His Majesty's private matter, but also a major event for the entire empire. The Shadow Empire needs an heir."
"I understand." The Empress glanced at Lilith indifferently. "I know what I'm doing, and I know what I should do. Don't try to probe this kind of intentions in the future. No matter what method you use, I only want a result that makes that guy completely give up. "
"Lilith understands." Lilith bowed respectfully. Her Majesty is not only the most beautiful woman in the Demon Realm, but also the wisest person. When the Empress is clear-headed, she doesn't think she needs too much advice.
"What's the situation in the Fallen Angel Empire?"
"I'm about to report to Her Majesty. According to the latest intelligence, 3 noteworthy things happened in the Fallen Angel Empire. The first thing is about the marriage of Empress Jía. Jía announced that she will hold a wedding in 2 months. The husband is naturally the mysterious Aguile. This matter has been greatly obstructed, mainly from the Lucifer Royal Family and the elder families. It is said that Her Majesty said, 'I will only choose him to be my husband. If you object, once the empire has no legal heir, you will all be the biggest sinner.' The authenticity of this sentence remains to be investigated, but it is an indisputable fact that Empress Jía has overwhelmed all opposition voices. It is certain that the huge economic interests in her hands have played a decisive role. "
"She is a good opponent. Besides, I like her words." The Empress smiled. Even though she was wearing a veil, one could still feel the peerless charm of that smile.
Lilith then began to report the second thing, "Recently, the Fallen Angel Capital's Mechanic Association is expropriating a large area of land and planning to relocate. There should be some special actions, but the specifics have not been found out yet. However, the Fallen Angel Capital's Mechanic Association has opened a new scroll research department. Several mechanical masters in our country have carefully studied the scrolls brought back by the intelligence personnel and found that the effect is far better than ordinary magic scrolls. Besides, the material is very special. Master Anderson analyzed that those materials should come from the human world. "
The Empress was slightly shocked. She thought for a moment and asked, "How is the Dark Moon's Chen Rui doing recently?"
"That human has long resigned from the position of financial officer. He stays in the lord's mansion all day and doesn't go out. He only shows up occasionally. Athena announced that Chen Rui is seriously ill. Many people know that this is just an excuse. The human should be secretly protected. This is likely to be related to the peace negotiation conditions that our country put forward for him last time. "
"Or it's not that simple." The Empress frowned slightly, "He must be behind so many new things in the Fallen Angel Empire, but the strange thing is that we have captured humans who came to the Demon Realm. Those new things have never existed in the human world. I once suspected that … he came from the legendary Divinity Realm, but now the appearance of these scrolls has overturned my suspicions. In fact, no matter what kind of suspicion it is, it is inconceivable. It is better to collect intelligence down-to-earth. At present, the intelligence department has 3 focuses. The first is the Jergal Fortress. The second is the Fallen Angel Empire and Chen Rui. The third is the war in the Bloody Empire. "
"Yes."
"By the way, you just said that there is another thing about the Fallen Angel Empire?"
"This matter has long been publicized in the Fallen Angel Empire's < Empire Daily >. If Your Majesty has time, you can turn on the magic TV and watch it now. The time … should be up."
"Is it a battle ball game?" The Empress asked. The battle ball game had now become the most popular sport in the Demon Realm without any controversy. Every game was full, and the television broadcast also attracted a large number of viewers. Especially, they could watch the exciting game in a distant foreign country. Not only did it bring huge economic benefits to the two empires, but the popularity of the battle ball also made the empire's people's physique and cohesiveness stronger.
"No, the newspaper called it a 'concert', and it was also crowned with the words' wonderful 'and' far better than expected '. To be honest, this is the first time I heard this kind of thing."
"You will know when you see it." The Empress asked the palace maid to turn on the huge magic TV in the palace. This was the best gift from the Fallen Angel Empress Jía. Regardless of the screen size or clarity, it was the best today.
At present, there was only one channel on the magic TV, namely the Fallen Angel Channel 1. As soon as it was turned on, a special scene was seen.
Countless troops were attacking a small town. The sound of fighting and the roar of the magic crystal cannons were deafening in the smoke. The soldiers and residents of the small town blocked round after round of attacks with incredible willpower. The enemy troops that were several times larger actually couldn't break through.
These should be the effects created by water magic. They were somewhat similar to phantoms, but they were very realistic.
In the picture, day and night changed. 10 days had passed. There was no support, no rest, only death fighting.
The battle of the small town reached the last person. A general covered in blood stood on the line of defense and breathed his last breath. The enemies took a detour and didn't touch this standing corpse, even if he had buried countless comrades on their side.
All the voices quieted down, and a woman's singing gradually became clear. There was a sense of unyielding and persistence in the sad and melancholy tune.
With the ups and downs of the song, the scene constantly moved and switched. Scenes of heroic and unyielding scenes reappeared. Lilith was overwhelmed with emotions and tears filled her eyes.
"The Song of Isildur …" A thin layer of mist rose in the empress's calm black eyes.
The singing gradually faded, and the touching scene also became thinner. The scene returned to reality. It turned out to be a huge stage in the center of the arena.
A pair of solemnly dressed man and woman appeared on the stage. The woman spoke through the magic speaker, "Just now it was the Dark Moon Lord Athena. Wales who personally sang" The Song of Isildur ". It made my heart flutter as if I had returned to the epic battlefield back then. The next song is" The Sky Castle ", brought by Her Majesty Empress' special guests, Ms. Adeline and Ms. Helen from the Dead Sea."
The scene on the stage changed into a boundless ocean. A girl with the body of a snake was sitting on a reef, plucking the strings of a golden harp. The elegant sound of the harp touched the heartstrings of everyone, and the surrounding sounds immediately quieted down. A beautiful figure appeared in the water in front of the reef, and she began to sing along with the harp.
This voice was ethereal like the sound of nature. It seemed to have a special magic that resonated with the harp sound in the soul of every listener.
The black shadow in the sky gradually became clear. This was a castle floating in the air. It was quaint and beautiful, full of incredible power. The melodious song carried the faint sadness of the past, but there was no lack of hope for tomorrow. This emotion lingered in the castle and everyone's heart for a long time.
At the end of the song, the audience was still intoxicated in the lingering sound of nature.
"What song is this? What song is this? "After a while, Lilith seemed to wake up from a dream. She stared at the disappearing castle in the sky on the screen.
"The Dead Sea … That should be the song of the sirens. The one playing the harp is a naga." The knowledgeable Her Majesty Empress took a deep breath, "The words in the newspaper are not exaggerated at all. This will be a concert far beyond expectations. It will be wonderful."
