Black Cloud Town.
Aleus sat in the military tent with an ugly expression.
When Raizen ordered to send troops that day, he faintly revealed the intention of abdicating. If he could unify the Demon Realm this time, the prince with the highest military merit would become the new Bloody Empire Lord. This was originally a great opportunity to make a career. If he could grasp it, he would undoubtedly surpass Teris, ascend the throne as he wished, and become the supreme ruler of the entire Demon Realm.
Now that the war to attack the Fallen Angel Empire had just begun, he was removed from the position of combat commander and ordered to return to the capital. This was equivalent to giving this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to his current biggest competitor, Teris.
With Teris's military talent, once he grasps the opportunity … the consequences are unimaginable.
"Elder brother." A familiar voice sounded at the door of the military tent. It was Teris.
This voice made Aleus's eyes even gloomier. He shouted, "Renta!"
"Your Highness." The guard captain outside the military tent immediately responded.
"Didn't I order that no one is allowed to come in?"
Renta lowered his head. Teris said, "Elder brother, have you forgotten the privilege you gave me back then? I can see you at any time without reporting. "
The word "bestowed" sounded particularly harsh in Aleus's ears. He snorted coldly, "Renta, leave. Remember, no matter who it is in the future, you must report first!"
This was obviously a slap in Teris's face. The tone had the meaning of asking him to leave, but Teris didn't seem to notice it. He still looked at Aleus with a smile.
Aleus frowned and said, "What do you want?"
Teris sighed, "Elder brother, don't you think we should have a good talk?"
"Is it necessary?" Aleus looked at his brother coldly, "I have always underestimated you."
Teris was silent for a while and said, "We used to be the closest brothers, and we can never go back to the past?"
"There is only one final winner on the battlefield we are in. When you and I are the only ones left on the battlefield, there are only winners and losers. You know this better than I do, unless … you are willing to withdraw from the battlefield. "Achilles' burning eyes fell on Teris' face.
Teris didn't answer and said lightly, "You should know that I'm not an ambitious person. If I say that I'm willing to quit, would you believe me?"
"I don't believe you." Aleus shook his head slowly. "You know better than anyone else that even if you really quit, I won't be able to tolerate you. Your talent is too outstanding, and ambition … Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future. The best way is to nip the threat in the bud."
"You are very frank." Teris smiled calmly and said, "This is what I admire the most about you. Unfortunately … this is the last time I can talk to you like this, my brother. To be honest, I feel sorry."
"Pity? At this point, you don't have to pretend anymore. "Aleus smiled coldly and said," Alright, I'm very tired. If you came here today just to talk nonsense, then you can leave. "
Teris' Yaning narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and slowly raised his hand. "You are wrong, brother. What I regret is your life, because you can die now. "
Aleus was shocked. He thought he had heard it wrong.
Aleus was the strongest among the princes of the Bloody Empire. His martial arts had been inherited by Raizen. He became a Demon Overlord many years ago, and he broke through to the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord some time ago. His martial power was his greatest advantage. Teris had been stuck in the Demon Emperor for many years because of his aptitude. It was not until he entered the [Dark Furnace] that he happened to mutate and entered the Demon Overlord level. Whether it was strength, experience or actual combat, the 2 were incomparable.
Now Teris actually overestimated himself and said that he wanted his life. Putting aside the factor of the difference in power, Raizen would not let Teris go even if he succeeds by directly killing his brother so blatantly.
Could it be that there is something wrong with my brother who has always been wise?
Seeing Teris's elegant smile, Aleus was shocked. It's not an illusion! Teris is really going to kill me!
At this place? At this time?
Is he crazy?
Although Aleus was surprised, he did not neglect. His fists faintly glowed with green light.
In any case, I should subdue Teris first. This may be a turning point.
Suddenly, Aleus's expression changed because a terrifying aura had already silently enveloped him, and he was actually unable to move for a moment.
The level of this breath is far above Aleus' intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord. The source of the power is Teris!
"You …" Aleus looked at Teris who was smiling in disbelief.
Is this still the brother who only knows strategy? The little prince who is considered the biggest regret because of his training aptitude?
"You are right about one thing. You have always underestimated me. Not only you, but everyone including Raizen has underestimated me." Teris said calmly, "The battlefield that you think is not my battlefield at all. If this is a game of chess, then I am the person who manipulates the chess pieces. You are just a chess piece at the mercy of others. Maybe Raizen, Catherine, Jía … are all chess pieces."
The last sentence included the 3 emperors of the Demon Realm. Aleus was shocked and showed disdain.
"Do you want to say that I'm 'boasting shamelessly' or 'overestimating myself'?" Teris smiled even more, "When I said I was going to kill you at the beginning, you should think so too. What about now? It's not that I don't have ambition, but I just don't want to show it in front of you. How can the hellhound on the ground who will be satisfied with a meal of bones understand the giant dragon soaring in the sky? You, the chess piece, have almost played all your role. Now there is only one last value left, which is death. "
Is this the real Teris? Aleus felt a chill in his heart, and he shouted, "Renta!"
Strangely, Renta seemed to have disappeared, and none of the personal guards appeared.
Teris sighed softly, "Don't waste your energy. Let me tell you, your most trusted 36 personal guards, including Renta … are all my people."
Achilles was shocked. The thirty-six personal guards were all Teris' men. Just this point alone showed how much effort and scheming was required! Teris was right. Everyone had underestimated him.
"I will give you a painless death and personally send your body back to the capital, my brother."
Aleus knew that it was a matter of life and death. He shouted, and the power that he had been accumulating burst out. Green flames rose from his body. However, Teris just waved his hand gently, and the flames were like candles in the wind. They were blown out as soon as they were blown, just like Aleus' life.
On his deathbed, the scene of his childhood suddenly appeared in Aleus' mind.
In the imperial garden, a woman in white smiled and looked at the playful teenagers.
At that time, their mother was still there.
At that time, Edmund was still their brother, leading them into trouble all day long.
At that time, Teris was still a little kid who followed everyone all day long and cried at the slightest thing.
These years are really tiring.
Aleus' expression gradually eased, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
Shadow Empire, Jergal Fortress.
"Sir Lomont, your injury has not healed yet. Don't move around first. I'll help you change the medicine."
The one who spoke was a woman wearing a veil. She had black hair and black eyes. Her beautiful facial features faintly showed behind the veil. She was holding a medicine box in her hand.
"Ms. Medelu, my friend … is there still no news?"
"There is no new news." Medelu shook her head, "We have sent the best scouts … Judging from the abnormality of the small plain, there was an extremely fierce battle there."
Lomont didn't know about Catherine, but when he and Chen Rui sneaked into Jergal Fortress, he recognized Azgalor, who was with them.
Azgalor once sneaked into the Dark Moon. At that time, Paglio's seal was not unlocked, so he was not his opponent. Later, it was "Iciz" who attacked. Lomont knew that Azgalor was a powerhouse of the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. However, when Azgalor was about to reach Jergal Fortress, he actually exploded and died. It could be seen what a terrifying opponent he encountered.
A national-level powerhouse?
Then, Chen Rui who chased after Broc …
Lomont's face looked very gloomy. Chen Rui was his best partner and friend. If something really happened, how would he explain to Athena, Isabella and others when he returned?
"Sir Lomont, don't worry too much. I believe your friend should be fine." Medelu took out medicine and gauze from the medicine box and began to carefully change his dressing. "There is one thing I want to tell sir … Broc should be dead."
Lomont was refreshed, "Did you find his body?"
Medelu shook her head and said hesitantly, "But … since the day before yesterday, my [Soul Shackles] seems to have disappeared. It has never happened again."
It turned out that Medelu was Broc's wife, Catherine's cousin. Her father was Royal Uncle Florence.
Florence was Catherine's most powerful supporter. He was the former number one person in the Dark Shadow Empire's military. He once helped Catherine to deal with the internal strife, but unfortunately, he did not know the right person. He married his daughter to Broc, who had once saved his life. Broc relied on this relationship to rise to the top and became the empire's number one general step by step.
In the beginning, Broc and Medelu seemed to be very affectionate. However, after that, he revealed his ferocious face and used the [Soul Shackles] to control Medelu. He often tortured and abused her, especially after Broc had lost half of his body and become unconscious, he became even more severe.
Broc once used the reason that Florence was not feeling well to bring his father-in-law and wife to Jergal Fortress. In reality, he imprisoned the two of them to threaten Empress Catherine. Florence was extremely regretful and scolded Broc. Broc actually dug out his eyes cruelly in front of Medelu. Medelu hated Broc even more.
Due to the existence of [Soul Shackles], Medelu could neither live nor die. She was tortured until Lomont appeared and saved her and her father. Therefore, she regarded Lomont as her benefactor.
Although Florence was blind, with his qualifications and prestige, as well as Catherine's prior arrangements, the turbulent Jergal Fortress soon settled down.
Medelu's words made Lomont's eyes light up. Since Broc was dead, then the [Soul Shackles] on Delia would also be removed! The nightmare that had troubled Delia for many years could finally disappear!
Now, the only thing that made people worry was the captain …
Good people don't live long, but scourges live for thousands of years.
Captain, a scourge like you must still be alive.
