A few days later, a large number of merchants and some large caravans appeared in Leia Town of the Shadow Empire.
Although a war is taking place in the northern part of Darkmoon Territory, the western part and Darkmoon City are still safe for the time being, and the business system basically remains normal. However, the number of merchants has been greatly reduced due to the war, and such a large-scale caravan is rare, especially if it is from the territory of Chiyou, it is worth pondering. The mayor of Leia Town, Raymond, just turned a blind eye to this. The Fallen Angel Empire is now in a period of civil war, and Her Majesty the Queen, who has been rumored to secretly support Dark Moon, has an unclear attitude and has no relevant strict orders. What's more, I recently accepted a heavy bribe from the Chiyou Territory. The so-called cannibalism is soft, so I simply pretended to be confused.
Geraint was in one of the "caravans". Counting it, there were already more than 2,000 teams that entered Leia town scattered, but it was still not enough. For the time being, he could only stay in the hotel in the town and continue to wait. .
Zhuoqie told Geraint that the upper limit of the number of people is 5,000. If there are too many, it may not be possible to pass the level of Leia Town.
The 5,000 people selected by Geraint were the elite headquarters brought out from Tekura Fortress, well-equipped and powerful. Soldiers are more expensive than elites, and Geraint is confident enough to complete this surprise attack, catching the eldest princess Xia by surprise.
In fact, Geraint also intended to temporarily avoid the limelight when he left the front line of Dicko Town to fight in the west. What Zhuo Qie said was right, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has the wisdom of people, but he has no tolerance for others. Geraint thought to himself that he should not have been eager to win before, and he had violated the regent's taboo by admonishing him bluntly. Although he won a small victory later, the promise made by the duke of the regent (alluding to the Lord of the Dark Moon Territory) was actually Pushing his deputy commander to the forefront, he was jealous and excluded by most of the lords and generals. If he leads the army to defeat Dark Moon in the end, I'm afraid it will cause more suspicion. Even if he can really get the title of Duke, it is impossible to become the Lord of Dark Moon. Taking a step back, if the united front fails, it will undoubtedly become a scapegoat, and the consequences will be even more disastrous.
Geraint considers himself a pure soldier. In his heart, he would rather face the dark moon army than stay with those "insiders" who are fighting each other. At least, he knows who the enemy is on the battlefield .
Having already arrived at the hotel, Geraint didn't think about extra things, and immediately arranged for soldiers in disguise to stay there, and sent people to meet the companions who came later.
The main force of the Moon Shadow Legion to the west of the Dark Moon has most likely left the Valan Fortress, but the defenses will definitely be more stringent, so it is necessary to gather strength and make great achievements in one fell swoop. Even if too much troops are consumed, it is not enough to go east to Darkmoon City, it can still put huge pressure on Darkmoon, and greatly damage the morale of Darkmoon's main force currently assembled in Leith Town. Therefore, the goal of this battle is to win the Valan Fortress at all costs!
In Dicko Town, Zhuoqie, the inspector appointed by Obsidian, had the same clear goal: eradicate the traitor!
The Allied Forces of the Imperial Capital are currently sharpening their knives, and on the eve of the great battle, Zhuoqie, who was holding a certain kind of knife handle, slashed at "our own people" the first time.
Several people from the top ranks of the coalition forces have fallen, including General Satron, who has a close relationship with the "rebel" Geraint, and the three lords who secretly have contacts with Dark Moon. For a while, everyone was in danger. After clearing out the "internal traitors", Hei Yao immediately used speeches and distribution of supplies to appease the morale of the army, and shifted all the responsibility for the previous defeat on these collaborators. For a while, the soldiers who didn't know the truth became excited.
After the undead army's small defeat, the Dark Moon army in Leith Town is also urgently gathering and dispatching. Princess Xia has already arrived in Leith Town in person, and the decisive battle between the two sides is imminent.
Compared with Geraint and Zhuoqie, Chen Rui seems aimless at this time. He is wandering leisurely on the Imperial Capital Avenue, shopping, shopping for something at the stalls, hooking up with the succubus at the entrance of the tavern. In other words, it's not easy.
The matter of Bai Ling's territory has been resolved. The Xikali avatar of the Demon Emperor's peak has become Chen Rui's servant. After devouring the real body's soul, his strength has greatly increased. It is also the only white feather lord Sikari.
This Sikali has deep scheming, ambition and methods, and he is better than Zhuoqie, the lord of Chiyou, but in his opinion, Chen Rui went deep into the underground base, destroyed the Wheel of Hera and captured the Demon Emperor under the protection of many powerful dead soldiers. The real body, completely destroyed the base, and set a trap to lure the two avatars and Palando into the bait, and finally caught them all - no matter in terms of strength and scheming, he was far inferior.
The rule of the Demon Realm is that the strong are respected, so Sikari, who chose to surrender, was not completely unwilling. Coupled with the restrictions of the master-servant contract, at least at this stage, he did not dare to have extra thoughts.
Chen Rui understands this very well. To truly subdue and control characters including Zhuoqie and Guladam, it is not enough to rely on the master-servant contract alone. Strength and wisdom are also needed. As long as his strength becomes stronger and stronger, these No matter how rebellious a person is, he can only bow his head honestly.
After signing the master-servant contract, Chen Rui's first order to this new servant was to immediately withdraw all the troops from the three northern towns of Ista, and transfer these elite troops to the south, and the gathering place in the south was closest to the imperial capital Ke Dunno Town. At the same time, we will fully support all the logistics materials needed by the Warlock Fortress, and select the best craftsmen to manufacture ordnance according to certain blueprints and provide them to the Warlock Fortress.
Sikali finally realized: it turned out that he had been wrong all along, and it was not the blood annihilation behind "Fa Ke", but the dark moon!
What a dark moon!
What a big game of chess!
Chen Rui's wanderings in the imperial capital seemed to be leisurely and carefree. In fact, he had a panoramic view of the defense and other situations of the imperial capital, compared them with the information provided by the dark demon, and kept adjusting and revising a plan that was about to be launched in his mind.
Just as Geraint wanted to surprise Dark Moon City from the west, Chen Rui's plan was to raid Hei Yao's lair - the imperial capital from behind!
When Chen Rui came out of Dark Moon, he didn't have a single soldier on hand, but now, he already has the entire Bailing Territory's army plus the elite army sent by General George. Attack the imperial capital at the fastest speed.
Although most of the main force of the imperial capital was transferred to the battlefield of Dark Moon, the second general, Duo Lun, was the second general. Russ and the Red Devil Legion under his command are still not to be underestimated. There are also the strength of the elder family and major families in the imperial capital, plus the strong city walls and defenses. huge.
The best way to deal with a strong fortress is to break through from the inside. At present, the dark demons in the imperial capital are all ready.
However, on the eve of launching, Chen Rui still has a very important goal.
into the night.
The inner city, the secret vault of the palace.
"Master Temo." The guard in front of the secret vault bowed his head to a stern-faced big demon.
The big devil nodded, but walked in without opening his mouth.
The guards didn't question it at all, because everyone knew about Lord Commander Temo's temperament, but what they didn't know was that after Lord Commander walked into the gate with a cold face, his eyes started to move around flexibly despite his stiff expression. Quickly observe the surrounding environment and compare it with the information obtained in my heart.
"Temo" is naturally Chen Rui. It is not the first time that Chen Rui has come to the secret vault of the Imperial Palace of the Fallen Angel Empire. Back then, Hei Yao took him all the way straight into the secret vault without hindrance, but today he is going to sneak into the secret vault alone.
The secret vault of the palace is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. It is almost impossible to get in by using disguises such as transfiguration. However, Chen Rui has been planning this moment for a long time. As early as when he entered the secret vault for the first time, he started a certain plan. In the following time, Dark Moon's spies have been making related preparations, especially when Isabel After La took over the dark demon, the secret library became a major research target, and finally the key breakthrough was set on the leader.
With intentional calculations and no intentions, Chen Rui successfully "replaced" Commander Temo and entered the secret vault smoothly.
What appeared in front of Chen Rui was a passage, which was equivalent to a pass. Behind the pass was the most secret inner treasury, which was a top-secret existence. Even Temo, who was the supreme commander of the guards, had no authority to cross this pass. Similarly, the dark demon has very little information about the inner library, but it is possible to have more powerful guards or agencies.
Since Chen Rui came here, he naturally had corresponding psychological preparations. After carefully sensing the situation of the passage for a while, "Temo" walked in decisively.
The inner library is empty without guards, but the magic circle spread all over is several times more complicated and powerful than the outside, but for Chen Rui, it is a relatively easy thing.
Chen Rui was already a great expert in the magic circle, coupled with the memory knowledge acquired from the inheritance of the alchemy civilization, and with the help of in-depth analysis skills, his attainments in some aspects have reached an incredible level. To deal with some magic circles, it is not even necessary to crack them, but to use special techniques to shield them, so that they can quickly pass through without disturbing the protection. This method was used to sneak into the underground base of Massimo Town last time.
Chen Rui groped all the way based on his memory, and finally came to the front of a secret storehouse. Yes, it should be this red secret storehouse. After patiently unlocking the magic circle of the secret storehouse door, he pushed the door open smoothly.
There is no magic mechanism inside the door, and there are no extra treasures, only a stone platform, and a sword is suspended on the stone platform.
A magnificent purple gemstone is inlaid at the end of the fine and delicate hilt, and the tsuba is two dark golden angels back to back.
One of the seven artifacts of the devil world, the supreme artifact of the Lucifer royal family - the sword of the fallen angel!
That is the goal of Chen Rui sneaking into the secret vault this time!
Chen Rui observed it carefully for a while, and was about to step forward, when a gleam flashed in his eyes, changed his mind, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "It's a pity that it's a good sword!"
"Isn't it?"
His voice sounded like he was asking someone.
"Where is the pity?"
Finally, an old voice sounded in the room. The sound seemed to echo everywhere, and the specific source was unknown.
"The most fearful thing about a good sword is that it won't meet the real master." Chen Rui turned his head slowly and slowly. That's it, you two, isn't it?"
The same two questions made the space behind him twist for a while, and the two transparent phantoms gradually became clear.
Race: Great Demon (mutation). Comprehensive strength evaluation: S+. Analysis: fire attribute. (very dangerous)
Race: Arrogant Royal Family. Comprehensive strength evaluation: S+. Analysis: dark attribute. (very dangerous)
Chen Rui's face remained calm, but his heart was churning violently: There are still two peak devil emperors! Today is the auspicious day for your sister, you are lucky!
No wonder I haven't encountered any guards since I entered the inner library. It turns out that there are such strong guards!
It is very likely that he was targeted by the opponent from the first step of entering the inner library as Temo.
The background of an empire is quite strong, even if the Fallen Angel Empire is the last of the three empires, it is by no means a fluke that it has been standing since the separatism of the seven royal families. On the surface, it seems that there are not many high-level powerhouses in various countries, and the three generals are basically at the level of a demon emperor. Although it is said that the most important thing for the generals of the empire is the ability to command the troops, not the personal combat power, but the real fear of the great empire is those powerhouses who have not been put on the table, such as the elders of the elder family, the hidden powerhouses of the royal family, etc. , for another example, these two peak devil emperors in front of them.
It is precisely because of the existence of these forces that even a huge and ambitious organization like Xueyan, with several powerful devil emperors, can only act in secret and cannot deal with it head-on.
When Chen Rui was reborn in the Demon Realm, a middle-level demon could easily crush him. Later, his vision gradually broadened, high-level demons, demon kings, great demon kings...
Although due to the decline of the Dark Moon Territory for four hundred years at that time, it was basically difficult to see even the powerful Demon Emperor, but with the growth of Chen Rui's strength and experience, between the three empires, not only the Demon Emperor, There are more and more devil emperors, and even the legendary demigods intersect.
The Demon Emperor, whom he could only look up to at the beginning, has now become a stepping stone for Chen Rui. Even the powerhouses at the beginning and middle stages of the Demon Emperor level, with the power of Yuxingbian and various means, Chen Rui has the confidence to compete with one of them. Zhan even killed him, but he still couldn't match the peak devil emperor.
This peak devil emperor refers to the normal category. If you face the super strengths of Lei Chan, Catherine, and Laura, excluding the skills of transforming flies and shifting stars, you will basically be killed in seconds.
Chen Rui couldn't beat even one of the two guardians of the peak devil emperor in front of him, and if he added another one, there would be no suspense about the outcome. Even with the running skills like Starry Sky Gate, he might not be able to escape.
This time he came to steal the Sword of the Fallen Angel, he was already mentally prepared to fight a tough battle, but unexpectedly, the difficulty was beyond imagination!
