In the few days that Lan Ling had been away, the Tang Empire had become the supreme leader of the Balrog Empire.
Fortunately, after a few years of training and construction, the officials of the Balrog Empire had become very competent.
Suo Mo and Princess Sha Yan, and Yoon Hi-hee were in charge of internal affairs. Everything was in order.
The Tang Empire was in charge of the overall situation. His focus was on modifying the Hell Condensing Formation.
Now, the landing of the Na Xue Army was basically coming to an end. Next, Princess Na Xue would gather an elite army to fight against the Cloud Calamity Clan. She wanted to take over the core area of the southern wilderness. The Blood-sucking Demon Alliance only had half of the territory of the Rakshasa Race. It was too embarrassing.
After the battle with the Cloud Calamity Clan, the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance would definitely focus on eliminating the Balrog Empire.
This time, it would not be a mere 200,000 Blood-sucking Demon army. It would be 10 times, 20 times, or even more.
Furthermore, they would not only attack the Flame Demon City, but also flood the entire territory of the Balrog Empire. Therefore, the modification of the five Hell Condensing Formations was very important.
The modification of the energy towers had been completed. They could directly use the positive and negative vortexes of the black hole energy to shoot out huge energy balls.
In order to modify the five energy towers, 60% of the meteorites in the Hell Fissure Cave of the Balrog Empire had been used. There was not much left. The remaining 40% would not be enough to sustain the research of the Starry Sky Mana, let alone start any other projects.
And the most crucial point was the lack of Violet Sun Crystals and Light Crystals.
If the violet sun crystals were placed in the dark energy vortexes, there would be an intense reaction and an immense amount of energy would be produced.
The reaction of 50 kilograms of violet sun crystals was equivalent to the energy of 5,000 kilograms of gunpowder.
However, the stockpile of violet sun crystals in the Balrog Empire was less than 5,000 kilograms. It was not enough to fight a big battle.
If the radiant crystals were added to the energy towers, the fireballs would be accompanied by terrifying rays of light, which would be fatal to the Blood-sucking Demon army.
However, the Balrog Empire only had 250 kilograms of radiant crystals.
Of course, the good news was that Lan Ling had collected ten kilograms of it from the secret laboratory, which was more than enough to fight a big battle.
So what he lacked the most right now was these Violet Sun Crystals.
For this reason, the Balrog Empire sent out more than a dozen search teams to search for new Astral Magic Meteorite Caves throughout the Balrog Empire. Because within these caves, there were often Purple Sun Crystals as well as all sorts of other precious crystals.
Among them, the most important team was formed by the second wife, Sisi, who led 30 energy warlocks. After all, it was the Second Madam Sisi who discovered the first Astral Magic Meteorite Cave and presented it to the Balrog Empire.
Even though they were exploring within the borders of the Balrog Empire, the Tang had still dispatched Gangtuo and Dolon in order to protect Sisi. There were also three demonic sovereigns, three thousand cavalry, and five hundred werewolf warriors.
Yesterday, a piece of great news came from this team.
In a huge mountain range, they discovered a second hell fissure. After going through a lot of twists and turns, they finally found a second Astral Magic Meteorite Cave, which was even larger than the first one.
Not only were there twice as many Astral Magic Meteorites as there were in the first cave, but the Violet Sun Crystals were also in the range of 29,000 kilograms.
There were also countless other types of crystals.
This was a huge harvest!
The Tang couldn't help but be overjoyed. Second Madam Sisi really had a keen sense of all kinds of crystals and Astral Magic Meteorites.
This was a strategic resource of the Balrog Empire, so the Tang immediately ordered the Violet Sun Crystals to be dismantled and transported back to the Balrog Empire.
Logically speaking, after discovering such a strategic resource, an army should be immediately stationed there, and even a fortress should be built above the Astral Magic Meteorite Cave.
However, the location of the second Astral Magic Meteorite Cave was a little sensitive. Even though it was within the borders of the Balrog Empire. It was also very close to the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe's territory.
In order not to alert the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe, they couldn't station a large army there for the time being.
As long as they won the war against the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe, everything would be fine. The most important thing now was to bring the Violet Sun Crystals back to the Balrog Empire.
However … it was at this critical juncture that something went wrong.
Gou Li brought a huge piece of bad news. The exploration team led by Second Madam Sisi was captured and detained by Princess Na Xue's Blood-sucking Demon Tribe army. The reason was that they had invaded the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe's territory.
The Tang people were immediately furious!
Na Xue was really intolerable. That area was clearly the Balrog Empire's territory. When did it become the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe's territory? It was clearly Na Xue's Blood-sucking Demon Tribe who had crossed the border to capture people, but it became the Balrog Empire's territory that had invaded the Blood-sucking Demon Tribe's territory.
This was completely distorting the truth and distorting the truth.
More importantly, among the people Na Xue's Blood-sucking Demon Tribe army had detained, Second Madam Sisi.
Who was she?
She was Lan Ling's concubine, one of the concubines of the Balrog Empire!
Capturing the Imperial Concubine of a nation, wasn't this a direct slap to Lan Ling's face?
Gou Li said, "I should inform His Majesty immediately!"
The Tang people waved his hand to stop her. "No, I'll personally go to the Heavenly Demon City's fortress to meet Princess Na Xue and rescue Madam Sisi!"
Gou Li said, "But His Majesty ordered you to stay in the center of the empire. You can't put yourself in danger."
The Tang people said, "If he does everything, why would he need us officials? Trust me, it's better if I handle this matter. If His Majesty does it, Na Xue will see many clues. We can't raise the diplomatic level of this matter too high. "
The Tang people immediately rode the Ghostly Ray north to the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's headquarters!
…
However, the Tang people didn't see Princess Na Xue or even Emperor Jun. They only saw the new Rakshasa King, Hades.
Hades was now the third most powerful person in the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance.
"Big brother, how have you been?" Hades said.
"Where's Princess Na Xue?" The Tang people said.
Hades said, "According to diplomatic etiquette, we have to receive each other equally, so I'm the one receiving you."
The Tang people said, "According to the principle of equal treatment, it should be Emperor Jun who receives me, not you!"
Hades smiled. "Big brother, you can't be so naive to think that the Balrog Empire and the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance are on the same level, right? That's why I'm the one receiving you. What can I do for you? "
The Tang people said, "Alright, if that's the case, I'll talk to you! You crossed the border to capture the Balrog Empire's concubine. What's your intention? Do you want to start a war? Do you want to tear up the armistice agreement? "
Hades said, "Big brother, you must be mistaken. Someone invaded the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's territory and pretended to be the Balrog Empire's concubine, so we captured and detained her."
After Sisi married Lan Ling, she changed her surname to Lan, so Lan Sisi sounded a little weird.
The Tang people took out a map and said, "This is the territory map of the Balrog Empire. It's completely inherited from the Balrog Demon Flag. This was signed and approved by the former Devil King."
At that time, Lan Ling destroyed the Heavenly Demon Flag, the Blood Demon Flag, the Blue Demon Flag, and the Spirit Demon Flag. According to his needs, he expanded his territory from 1,300,000 square kilometers to 2,350,000 square kilometers.
In order to let Lan Ling attack the Cloud Disaster Royal City and start a war with the Tian Sha Crown Prince, the Devil King pinched his nose and agreed to the new territory division of the Balrog Demon Flag.
Therefore, even though it was very rude and unreasonable, this new territory map was indeed legal. Not only did it have the signature of the Devil King, but it also had the signatures of all the members of the Demon Alliance at that time. It was also printed by the Demon Alliance.
Therefore, it was absolutely authoritative.
On the territory map, the second Astral Magic Meteorite Cave discovered by Imperial Concubine Lan Sisi was in the territory of the Balrog Empire.
You Ming took out a brand new map and said, "What a coincidence, I also have a map here. It's approved by all the members of the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance."
Then, You Ming placed the map on the table and pointed at the second Astral Magic Meteorite Cave discovered by Lan Sisi. He said, "Look, the woman who pretended to be Imperial Concubine Lan Sisi led a team to invade the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's territory. It's more than 150 kilometers."
Seeing the new map, the Tang people's eyes narrowed.
This was going too far! This was a crazy face-slapping!
In the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's territory map, the territory of the Balrog Empire was less than 1,000,000 square kilometers. It had shrunk by more than half.
What was even crazier was that half of Nanmu City and Tranquil North City had become the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's territory.
The person who created this map was truly deranged. It was simply a map that opened up new territories.
Na Xue didn't intend to make peace with the Balrog Empire at all.
The Tang people couldn't even understand what Princess Na Xue was thinking. She and Princess Tigné were about to have a decisive battle. She should be doing her best to appease the Balrog Empire so that they wouldn't stab them in the back during the battle.
But instead of appeasing them, she provoked them even more crazily. Why was that?
You Ming pointed at the location on the map and said, "Don't even think about the Astral Magic Meteorite Vein. It belongs to the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance. As for the fake Imperial Concubine Lan Sisi, she dared to invade the territory of the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance. She deserves to die and be punished. If you want to take her back, ask your talkative Emperor, Lan Ling, to come to the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance and ask Her Highness for mercy! "
"Yes, ask Lan Ling to come. You're not qualified …" You Ming clicked his tongue and said, "The Emperor of the Balrog Empire is the weakest in the southern wilderness, but he's the first to proclaim himself as Emperor. It's like playing house. Interesting, interesting …"
The Tang people looked at You Ming coldly and said word by word, "It seems that you're really crazy. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes …"
"Pretentious, pretentious …" You Ming pointed at the Tang people and said, "You've obtained a King Arthur Ghoul and you're using it to intimidate others. Now that the King Arthur Ghoul has been taken away, you're still bluffing. What's the point?"
The Tang people's expression changed when they heard that.
The Peerless Ghoul was a top secret among top secrets. It was also a strategic deterrent for the Balrog Empire.
Now, it had been exposed. No wonder the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance was so daring to provoke them and take away the Starry Sky Magical Meteorite Mine of the Balrog Empire, as well as Lan Ling's concubine.
This was a slap in the face and revenge!
"Don't look at me like that …" You Ming said, "No one snitched on us. It was the leader of the Skeleton Corps who told Her Highness about it personally. The Skeleton Corps also announced that they'll be absolutely neutral between Princess Na Xue and Lan Ling from now on!"
This was bad news, a huge piece of bad news!
In the past, the Balrog Empire had always treated the Skeleton Corps as an absolute ally and even an extension of their military power.
But now, the Skeleton Corps had officially drawn the line and even told Na Xue about the Peerless Ghoul.
You Ming said, "I don't care whether this woman called Lan Sisi is Lan Ling's concubine or not. If she wants to go back, let Lan Ling come and ask for her personally. Otherwise, she'll be severely punished for trespassing into the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's territory. Tell Lan Ling to come earlier so that she won't regret it and bring back a badly mutilated and rotten woman. "
…
When Lan Ling returned to the Balrog City with Ji Soo-ning, he heard this huge piece of bad news!
The Skeleton Corps drew the line with him and told Princess Na Xue about the Peerless Ghoul?
Why was that? Did Na Xue tell the Rakshasa Mother something? Did she make the Skeleton Corps so obviously biased? And even change their stance?
Most importantly, Princess Na Xue knew that the Balrog Empire had lost its King Arthur level powerhouse, which meant that it had lost its strategic deterrent.
That way, the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance would have no risk in destroying the Balrog Empire!
Therefore, she wanted to tear up the armistice agreement and start the internal peace process. She wanted to use the shortest amount of time and the smallest price to destroy the Flame Demon Empire, and then free up her hands to fight Princess Nether Emperor.
However, Princess Na Xue wasn't willing to tear up the armistice agreement. Therefore, she crossed the border and captured Lan Ling's concubine, Madam Sisi. She slapped Lan Ling's face unscrupulously and tried to provoke him to start a war.
That way, the one tearing up the armistice agreement wouldn't be Na Xue, but Lan Ling!
Then, Princess Na Xue could destroy the Balrog Empire without bearing the reputation of breaking the armistice agreement.
"Our Hell Concentration Spell Formation hasn't been completed. Our Purple Sun Crystals are far from enough. We aren't ready for war!" Soran said. "If we start a war now, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us. We might even be in danger of being destroyed."
The Tang Dynasty said, "Hades asked me to tell you to personally go to the Blood-sucking Demon Alliance's headquarters and ask Princess Na Xue to release Madam Sisi. Otherwise, they will punish Imperial Concubine Lan Sisi severely. "
Lan Ling said, "Are we really not ready for war?"
The Goddess of Misfortune, Shui Hongshao, said, "We really aren't ready. If we start a war now, we might be in danger of being destroyed. Without Peerless Ghoul, we lack the deterrent of King Arthur level energy. "
Lan Ling said, "Na Xue is provoking us. This is a slap in the face. She is forcing us to tear up the armistice agreement!"
Taking a deep breath, Lan Ling said, "I only have one thing to say to her provocation! If she wants to fight, then fight! Don't be a coward, just fight! "
