Darkmoon Territory, Moonlight Fortress.
The imperial army commanded the camp.
Looking at the livid-colored Prince Regent Hei Yao on the seat, neither the general nor the lord dared to speak easily.
Last night, after capturing the unguarded Moonlight Fortress, the new deputy commander of the coalition forces, Palot, led the three elite corps of the imperial capital and the Feiyun corps of the air force to chase down the defeated army and raid Dike Town.
However, the result of this raid was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Palot was besieged by an army of more than half a million undead in Dicko Town. At dawn, Commander Palot led the Second Army and the Third Army with less than 30,000 remnants desperately to break through the encirclement.
The deputy commander of the coalition forces and the commander-in-chief of the raid, Parrott, was seriously injured and unconscious.
The whereabouts of Yefa, the head of the First Army, and Kerry, the deputy head of the Army, are unknown.
The whereabouts of Rometty, head of the Flying Cloud Corps, are unknown.
The commander of the Second Army, Fraze, was killed, and the deputy commander, Toros, was killed.
The commander of the Third Army, Newkel, was slightly injured, and the deputy commander, Longji, was killed.
The three demon emperors Stiller, Baroque, and Stebil were defeated and retreated, slightly injured.
The whereabouts of Pegasus, a powerhouse of the Demon Emperor-level royal family, is unknown.
The general situation of "unaccounted for" is that the situation is more ominous, such a heavy loss! This is not the cannon fodder of the lords, but the real elite army of the imperial capital! Not only those Demon Emperor-level generals, but even the Demon Emperor-level Pegasus were damaged!
If the previous battle of Moonlight Fortress gave Obsidian a resounding slap in the face, then the battle of Dicko Town was a heavy punch that knocked out teeth. It was an unavoidable fiasco.
Originally, based on the distance between Dick Town and Moonlight Fortress, they could directly reinforce when they sensed that the situation was wrong. However, the enemy obviously considered this and deliberately cut off the connection between the two places. Lott didn't feel it until he broke out of the siege. At this time, it was irreversible to send troops to respond.
"Your Highness! The scouts report that the undead army has evacuated Dike Town, but..."
"Just what?" Obsidian's face was terribly gloomy.
"The armor and weapons left by the corpse were taken away by the enemy, and a considerable part of the corpse was missing."
"Hmph!" Hei Yao slapped the table, and the table instantly turned into powder, and everyone was silent.
"Your Highness, the undead army took away weapons and corpses, which means that they also lost a lot in this ambush. They need to use the corpses to replenish their soldiers. Even a magician at the level of a devil emperor, with the help of a special altar, can transform a large number of corpses. It will take a considerable amount of time for the undead. If the opportunity is not lost, I think it should be possible to send out an army to chase after the undead, and even if it cannot be wiped out, it can also boost morale." It was Geraint who spoke, although he knew that Black Yao was in a fit of anger, he took the lead in speaking and It's not a good thing, but the battle situation is changeable, and the opportunity is fleeting, so I don't care about so much.
"Everyone understands the intention of the Undead Army to take away the weapons and corpses, so you don't need to emphasize it," Black Yao snorted coldly, "The Dark Moon Army is very cunning, if they pursue now, who can guarantee that they won't repeat the same mistakes as Parrott? "
Geraint reasoned hard: "Your Highness, behind the town of Dicko is the Reis Wilderness. The terrain is not suitable for ambush. You can send an army to test the situation first, and then the army will prepare to attack."
Zhuoqie came out to speak: "In the current situation, it is not advisable to advance aggressively. The morale of our army can no longer be hit, even if it is only a small loss. The reason for Parrot's failure is that he was hit by the dark moon while underestimating the enemy." Ambush, according to the comparison of strength, even if the opponent has an army of undead, our troops and combat power still have the upper hand. I propose to fight steadily, occupy Dike Town first, and then slowly restore vitality and morale, and send scouts to investigate in many ways to confirm After the enemy's movement, we will determine the next specific action."
Hei Yao nodded slightly, Zhuo Qie's proposal was relatively safe, especially the sentence "Our army still has the upper hand" won my heart.
"but… "
"Okay! Geraint!" Geraint was interrupted before he finished speaking, and a gleam of coldness flashed across Obsidian's slightly narrowed eyes, "At present, Parrot is seriously injured and unconscious, and you will be the deputy commander again As a post, the task now is to occupy Dike Town and try to stabilize the morale of the army, understand?"
Geraint didn't say any more, just gave a military salute: "Of order, Your Highness."
After the meeting, Geraint was ordered to reward the soldiers and stabilize their morale. When he came to the military supply department, he happened to meet Zhuoqie who was in charge of logistics.
"General, please wait a moment. The labor supplies will be ready in about an hour."
Geraint nodded slightly, and suddenly said: "Master Zhuoqie, I really disagree with the suggestion you made today. At this time, blindly seeking stability will only give An Yue more breathing time, why don't we go together to persuade you?" His Highness Obsidian?"
Zhuoqie was taken aback, ordered the left and right to retreat, and said: "General, some words may not be appropriate, but I still want to say them. When Samoel's Hades Snake Legion was dispatched in Chiyou's territory, the general was obviously incompatible with The King Regent had the opposite opinion, and in the end the Snake Legion sent by the King Regent was wiped out. When we attacked the Moonlight Fortress, our army encountered tenacious resistance and suffered heavy losses. The real reason was that Dark Moon showed a strength far beyond our expectations. Even the King Regent sent two large air armies, but still failed to take down the fortress. This is not because of a mistake in the general's command. However, the King Regent felt that his face was damaged, so he still failed to take down the fort. Afterwards, Parrot captured the unguarded Moonlight Fortress. When the King Regent ordered to pursue the Dark Moon’s defeated army, the general stopped him again, but the King Regent refused to listen, leading to a disastrous defeat. Now the King Regent is obviously taking a break. The general objected to the army's intentions again, and proposed to pursue the enemy... If the general's judgment fails and the morale is even lower, that's all. , General... Do you understand what I mean?"
Geraint stared at Zhuo Chi for a moment, and finally sighed: "I understand what your lord means."
"The general is not a dull person. You should be able to guess the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has reappointed you as deputy commander-in-chief at such a time, despite his hatred for you."
This lost and regained deputy commander is not a good job, and the next battle with Dark Moon will be even more difficult. If he wins, His Royal Highness Hei Yao knows people, and if he loses, he will be a scapegoat.
Geraint smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "I'm just a soldier who just wants to win the war, that's all."
"There is no independent military or politics..." Zhuoqie also sighed: "Forget it, I am talking too much... I sincerely hope that the general will think more about everything and try to keep his useful body as much as possible. The empire needs such a pillar as the general."
Geraint nodded solemnly: "Understood, I will keep these words in my heart, thank you Lord Zhuoqie for your guidance and friendship."
"I didn't talk nonsense today, I just discussed the supply of supplies with the general." As he said, Zhuoqie and Geraint looked at each other and smiled.
Watching Geraint leave the tent, Zhuoqie showed a strange smile on his face.
Although these words are not enough to create a separation effect, they have effectively planted a nail in Geraint's heart, causing him to worry more. In any case, the Imperial Capital Army is taking a break to delay Dark Moon's time. The purpose is achieved.
Under the control of the master-servant contract and poison, Zhuoqie has now been firmly tied to the dark moon's boat. For the sake of life and power, he has no choice but to pull down the old master Obsidian at all costs. At present, it is just a small flame secretly fanned. When the time comes, as the most important internal response, it will become the key figure in determining the entire war.
Chen Rui, who was far away in Bailing's territory, didn't know about Zhuoqie's small actions. Because he swallowed the power of the demigod's soul, especially in the winter domain, he still retained a trace of soul breath, so he successfully got the approval of the ruins, and brought A group of Yingyingyanyan lantern spirits entered the ruins.
The ruins are actually a dilapidated castle of the alchemy civilization. Due to the severe damage in the war, coupled with its age and lack of energy, most things are no longer usable.
In the storage secret vault, Chen Rui found the heart lamps of the lamp spirits. There were thousands of them, but many of them had broken and lost their effectiveness.
According to the power level of the lamp spirits, the heart lamps are divided into three types from high to low: gold, silver, and iron. The first letter of the name is also gold, white, and black. Ginny's heart lamp is golden, and there are nearly a hundred heart lamps that are also golden, and about 30 of them are still intact. This will be a powerful boost.
Although the indestructible bodies of the lamp spirits are powerful, the resurrection is not endless. The gold lamp can be resurrected four times, the silver lamp can be resurrected three times, and the iron lamp can be resurrected twice. Heart Lamps that have exceeded the number of resurrections will break and become useless unless repaired at a very high cost.
Chen Rui learned from the acquired memories that the heart lamp can not only be repaired, but also advanced through special materials and energy transformation. Each level of advancement is quite difficult, the more advanced it is, the more so. If you fail to advance, the level of the heart lamp will drop by one level, the gold lamp will fall to the silver lamp, and the silver lamp will fall to the sticker lamp. If the iron lamp fails to advance, it will directly break and fail.
Generally speaking, the level of the golden heart lamp is already the limit. In the alchemy civilization, some alchemists used secret recipes to transform the dark red heart lamp beyond the limit. Unfortunately, the success rate is extremely low, and if it fails, it will be scrapped immediately.
Chen Rui has experienced the illusion of the domain kingdom, and understands that these lamp spirits are female slaves who completely obey his master. They are not only powerful troops on the battlefield, but also beauties in the bed. However, the illusion is an illusion, and in reality he dare not have any wrong thoughts. Even if he has a dragon body with double cultivation skills, facing a terrifying number of beauties with lamp spirits, he will inevitably run out of energy. Besides, if so many women are really brought back, I'm afraid that even Athena, who has always been magnanimous, will come out with a hatchet to kill people.
Anyway, Chen Rui is also the master now, so there is no need to continue to hide it, and took out a large number of spiritual fruits in front of the lamp spirits, so many good things waiting for the top energy essence almost dazzled those beautiful eyes , All the lamp spirits cheered in surprise.
The more advanced the heart lamp, the more time and energy it takes to revive it. With Jin Sha's help, Chen Rui found out Ginny's golden heart lamp, and handed it to Jin Sha along with the spiritual fruit.
After the excitement, the lamp spirits began to get busy in batches. Some made energy blocks, some cleaned up the items in the ruins, some started to resurrect their partners, and some repaired equipment, which seemed to be in full swing.
Although these spiritual fruits are far from enough to restore the entire castle, didn't the master say it? As long as after a period of time, you can get the fruit of this top-level energy essence, sooner or later, all your partners will be resurrected, and the brand new castle will return to the ground!
There are many things in the ruins that interest Chen Rui, especially those tall and constructed battle partners. He has seen the combat effectiveness of these things in trials. They were barely able to fix it, but it took a long time.
Compared with constructing battle partners, lamp spirits are helpless against damaged crystal monsters and crystal monsters, but Chen Rui is not worried, because he has a powerful scientist wife, who has the knowledge and level of making golden men with Lola , As long as you understand the principle, repairing these things should be a problem.
There are still many strange things in the ruins, including some potions, including black potions. It's a pity that the validity period of the potion is not long. Even the black potion can only last for a hundred years. These are no longer usable, so they should be used as waste. Let's use them for the old man to study. When Chen Rui first came to the Demon Realm, he carried the name of an inheritor of an ancient alchemy master, unexpectedly, the words became a prophecy, and now the name is worthy of the name.
In addition to the huge gains, Chen Rui also realized an important problem. The super system is generally invincible, but there are occasional exceptions. Except for this trial, when facing the demigod level domain in Rainbow Valley, the super system is also unusable. In Chen Rui's situation, if it wasn't for the newly realized four major domains, the failure of the super system would be equivalent to all combat power, which is worse than ordinary powerhouses of the same level.
Now Chen Rui already has S-level mental power, and can sense more things more clearly. I remember that during the trial, I could feel the super system, but I couldn’t use the skills. After waking up from the illusion, I was able to use the super system again. . This should not be the problem of the super system itself, but his own problem.
Chen Rui faintly came to his senses. For a long time, his understanding of the super system seemed to have entered into some kind of misunderstanding. This kind of awakening meant that he would change to a new angle and comprehend more mysteries of the super system.
It's a pity that the battle in Dark Moon is urgent now, and every second counts. He doesn't have enough time to study it slowly, and must immediately continue the plan for Bai Ling's territory.
Although the battle caused the main mine in the Loeb mining area to collapse a lot, under the protection of the dragon language inscription, the main body of the mine is still intact, and many of the surviving miners have escaped. It was successfully completed, and he needed to return to Bailing City immediately to report.
Chen Rui thought carefully for a while, and ordered some of the lamp spirits to stay in the ruins to revive those intact heart lamps, and the rest of the lamp spirits disguised themselves, left the swamp, and went to the nearby town of Ronnie, where there was the eyeliner of the dark demon. This eyeliner will lead the lamp spirits to a dark demon stronghold in Bailing City to stand by.
As for the Medusa tribe, after witnessing the battle between Chen Rui and Jacob, they have completely surrendered to this powerful master. Chen Rui's order to them is to be ready to go out at any time.
After arranging all this, Chen Rui opened the gate of the starry sky and returned to Bailing City in an instant. The time given to him by Sikali was ten days, but now he has completed the task ahead of schedule. It's time to untie it.
