Another barracks under the purple moonlight.
"Father." Teris bowed respectfully and saluted.
Raizen glanced at Teris, "Do you know why I asked you to come?"
"Even if father doesn't summon me, I will come to find father." Teris looked very sincere, "First of all, I want to apologize to father. As the deputy commander of the southern expedition army, the army I led was repeatedly frustrated in the Warlock Fortress. Until father personally led the army, I still couldn't take down the fortress. I'm really ashamed of father's trust."
Raizen shook his head, "George of the Warlock Fortress is a famous general. Besides, Empress Jía is personally in charge. Coupled with Aguile and others with strange powers, it is really difficult to take it down in a short period of time. This is also because I underestimated the enemy. Besides … you are just the deputy commander. It's not your turn to bear this responsibility. "
"Then, the second thing I want to report to father is about Elder Brother Aleus … Recently, there are rumors spreading everywhere in the army that I plotted against Elder Brother because of the fight for the heir. The more I explain, the more difficult it is to explain, so I have been silent. In fact … speaking of it, the cause of Elder Brother's death is very complicated. I will explain everything to father now. If father wants to punish me, I will have no complaints. "
"Go ahead, I'm listening." Raizen nodded slowly.
"There are a few things I don't want to hide from father. Father should have been in retreat in the deepest part of the dark furnace. When I came out, the war between Elder Brother and Second Brother had reached the most intense situation. Elder Brother seemed to be particularly concerned about father's situation, and he asked me a lot of questions. I told him the truth, saying that I had been cultivating in the periphery and hadn't seen Father. In the following days, Eldest Imperial Brother tried to test me several times. Seeing that my answer was correct, he finally relaxed and invited me to help him suppress Second Imperial Brother's rebellion. However, after I helped Elder Brother to break through the Iron Fist Castle, there was news that father came out of retreat. Although Elder Brother tried to cover it up, I still found many abnormalities. For example, his emotions seemed to fluctuate very much … "
Teris' words made Raizen's eyes narrowed slightly, "Go on."
"Later, he took the initiative to ask Father to serve as the commander-in-chief of the attack on the Warlock Fortress and asked Father to let me be his deputy. However, during the siege, Big Brother refused to listen to my tactical opinions and just ordered the army to attack. I feel …" Teris seemed a little hesitant.
"Feel what?" Raizen frowned, "You don't have to worry."
Teris lowered his head. "It seemed that Eldest Royal Brother was deliberately exhausting our elite army, but it also seemed that he was stalling for time. I never understood why he would have such an intention." Teris lowered his head. "I was conflicted for a long time. I wanted to find Eldest Royal Brother and have a frank talk. On that day, I discovered something strange. Eldest Royal Brother was manipulating a kind of light, and there were strange runes in the light. Those runes eventually exploded, and Eldest Royal Brother's eyes also turned strange silver …"
Raizen's eyes flashed. Although his face did not change, his fists were clenched tightly.
"After Eldest Royal Brother used this power, I was noticed by him. Then Eldest Royal Brother … wanted to kill me in exasperation. I … could only resist, but I was not Eldest Royal Brother's opponent. I was knocked down by him. I asked Eldest Royal Brother why he did this. He just said that I would become the biggest obstacle to him inheriting the empire. Just when he was about to kill me, he seemed to have suddenly suffered a backlash of some power. He fell to the ground, and his breath of life rapidly declined. Then, he fell into some kind of illusion. He said something inexplicably that he wanted to unify the Demon Realm, and finally … "
As Tevez spoke, he took out an item from his Space Ring. It was a crystal coffin, and inside the coffin was Achilles' corpse. The coffin should be some kind of special tool, as the corpse did not decompose at all, especially the face, which was still vivid and lifelike.
Raizen stood up, slowly came to the crystal coffin, and glanced at Achilles' corpse with a complicated gaze.
"When I went to find Eldest Royal Brother, those guards can testify … but speaking of which, I have to be indirectly responsible for Eldest Royal Brother's death." Teris looked sad and lowered his head, "Actually, after I broke through in the dark furnace, I also regarded Eldest Royal Brother as a competitor. However, I want to defeat Eldest Royal Brother in a fair and square manner, not like this … It can't be called the result of 'victory'."
Raizen retracted his gaze from the crystal coffin and sighed, "I also heard about Achilles' ostracizing you on the front line. I will further verify this matter. If what you said is true, then the responsibility is not yours. Leave the coffin here, you can leave first. "
"Thank you, father!" Teris looked happy. He walked to the entrance of the camp, and he suddenly turned around, "Father, please forgive me for asking too much. Is what Catherine said during the day true? Your body … "
Raizen glanced at Teris faintly and didn't speak. Teris seemed to sigh softly, bowed and retreated.
Raizen didn't look at Teris's departing figure, but he looked straight at Achilles' serene expression in the coffin. He put his hand on the coffin lid and closed his eyes gently, letting the moonlight that sprinkled into the camp elongate Jellyfish's shadow.
The next day, Black Cloud Town.
In the largest building in the town, which was the former temporary headquarters of the Bloody Empire Army, new "guests" were welcomed.
The hall of the command center had been emptied, replaced by a huge round table with three thrones in each of the three corners. These were the only three seats in the entire hall, because no one else had the right to sit in front of these three people.
Soon, the 3 seats were occupied. After the successful peace talks in the Dark Shadow's capital 300 years ago, the leaders of the 3 countries finally gathered again. The content of this meeting was also peace.
Teris stood beside Raizen, Chen Rui with a mask was beside Jía, and Liliz, a Demon Emperor-level confidant who rushed to the fortress last night, was beside Catherine.
"Your Majesty Raizen, Your Majesty Jía." Catherine, who was wearing a veil, said, "I believe both of you are very clear about the current situation. The war between the 2 countries has deviated from the original intention of starting the war. If we continue to fight, not only the Fallen Angel Empire and the Shadow Empire, but the entire Demon Realm will fall into a protracted war. I believe this situation is what our 3 emperors don't want to see."
Jía nodded, "I agree with Her Majesty Catherine's point of view. Although the Fallen Angel Empire is a victim in this war, if we are obsessed with hatred, then it will never be true peace. I hope the people of the 3 countries can live and work in peace instead of falling into endless war."
"As long as the 3 countries exist, then war is only a matter of time." Raizen's attitude seemed very unfriendly, "Only by eliminating the countries and establishing a unified regime can the people truly enjoy peace and stability."
Catherine said unhurriedly, "Everyone understands this truth, but no one is willing to be unified by the will of others. Moreover, the Bloody Empire does not have the ability to swallow the other 2 countries at the same time. Similarly, the Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire do not have it either. If we insist, it will be an unimaginable disaster for the people of the 3 countries."
"If I let go now, it will be a real disaster for the Bloody Empire." Raizen said coldly, "Her Majesty Catherine, I don't know how long you will rule the Shadow Empire as a king, but it is certain that even if I am still in the Bloody Empire, you are already the most terrifying enemy. As for Her Majesty Jía, although your personal strength is not worth mentioning, the Fallen Angel Empire's economic development momentum is the first of the 3 countries, and its military potential cannot be underestimated. As long as you are given time to develop, you will become a powerful empire not inferior to the Shadow Empire among the 3 empires, and the Bloody Empire will become the weakest link of the 3 countries. By then, the roles today may be reversed. I will never sit back and watch this day come."
"Her Majesty Raizen thinks too highly of the Fallen Angel Empire, and you underestimate the Bloody Empire." Jía shook her head, "While the Fallen Angel Empire is developing, the Bloody Empire and the Shadow Empire are not stagnant; they are also making progress. The Dark Shadow Empire has Her Majesty Catherine, the first sage. In the Bloody Empire, in addition to Her Majesty, the first powerhouse, there is also Royal Highness Teris, who has been known as the top genius of the Demon Realm for many years. Whether it is ability or wisdom, he can become Her Majesty's best helper. The future Demon Realm should be a world of rapid development and common prosperity, instead of endless chaos and war …
"Her Majesty Jía is right," Catherine said in time, "As for His Majesty Raizen's physical condition, the Fallen Angel Empire's husband, Aguile, should have a solution. If it is convenient, is His Majesty Raizen willing to accept this help?"
Raizen snorted coldly, "Is this a threat?"
"Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty Raizen." Chen Rui said, "This is not a threat. It's just a request to help a friendly neighbor. Of course, if it is an enemy, I believe that no one here will do such a stupid thing."
"It's still a threat." Raizen snorted coldly, "However, it sounds like you seem to have the confidence to remove the abnormality in my body?"
"If your vitality is weakened, then there is at least one way to prolong it. If it is convenient, Your Majesty can talk to me alone later about this issue." Chen Rui didn't want to easily reveal the existence of the longevity potion. Moreover, Catherine said that the longevity potion might not necessarily cure the root cause, but it should not be a big problem to cure the symptoms, so Chen Rui's answer was vague with certainty.
"There is nothing inconvenient about it. This is a curse that confuses the power of dark and light. The Mammon Royal Family has the talent of dark proficiency. The dark curse is fine, but the stubborn light curse is the kind of light curse." Raizen glanced at Chen Rui contemptuously, "Are you sure you can solve the light curse that causes trouble to a national-level powerhouse?"
"If Your Majesty is sure that it is the light curse …" Chen Rui's eyes behind the mask lit up, "Then, I am 100% sure."
Raizen was slightly moved. He stared at the mask closely, "100%?"
Chen Rui looked at Raizen fearlessly, and his voice was full of confidence, "If I say 100%, then it is 100%."
As soon as Teris, who was next to Raizen, heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and it instantly became fierce and determined. He seemed to have made up some kind of determination.
