Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 539: the night before

Views:

In the dark moon, above the town of Dicko, the purple moonlight was obscured by dark clouds all over the place. The dense haze in the sky is like the gloomy expression of someone in the military tent below.

Tomorrow is the date for the decisive battle, but Black Yao, the commander of the coalition forces in the imperial capital and the regent of the Fallen Angel Empire. Lucifer's face was full of clouds, not because of nervousness, but because of the huge changes that have happened one after another in the past few days.

It means that the duel has not yet started, and the opponent has already been hit with a few sap sticks.

First of all, two days ago, a news like a bolt from the blue gave His Royal Highness Hei Yao, who was full of confidence in conquering the dark moon, a blow.

The capital of fallen angels, was defeated by the first general, George. The combined army of Warlock Fortress and Bailing Territory led by Wells captured it!

The elder family and the left-behind royal family joined the enemy! Second General Doron. Ruth was killed, and the entire Red Demon Legion was wiped out! All trusted families were uprooted!

For a moment, Hei Yao almost thought that there was something wrong with his judgment ability, until after confirming it over and over again, the information in his hand was burned to ashes by the irrepressible black flame.

George! Sikari! The elder family! Stay with the royal family! Obsidian gritted his teeth and cursed the names of every traitor, and the entire command center was almost turned into dust by the power of anger.

Compared with General George who has always been on the opposite side, Black Yao hates that shameless villain Sikali in Bailing Territory even more. On the surface, he flatters the imperial capital and uses tricks to deal with Warlock Fortress, but secretly falls for General George. Conspire to capture the imperial capital. And those royal families and veteran families who stayed behind in the imperial capital unexpectedly united with outsiders and stabbed him in the back the deadliest!

No matter how rich and threatening Dark Moon is, it is just a territory, but the imperial capital is the most important foundation of the entire empire!

However, the current situation is already difficult to ride a tiger. Whether it is to stand still or withdraw troops rashly to attack the imperial capital, they will be attacked by both sides of the dark moon and the imperial capital. The only way out now is to destroy An Yue as quickly as possible, and then go back to give the rebels in the imperial capital a thunderous blow.

When the news of the fall of the imperial capital came, only Hei Yao, Zhuo Qie, and a handful of lords and generals were informed. Zhuoqie immediately suggested that the news should be strictly sealed before the decisive battle, so as not to shake the morale of the army.

Zhuoqie's reaction and loyalty made Hei Yao feel a little relieved. This suggestion was exactly what he wanted. He immediately ordered Zhuoqie to personally lead a monitoring team and patrol the territories to prevent spies from spreading rumors.

The distance between the imperial capital and Dicko Town is quite far, and the channel for information transmission is through the exclusive communication station, which ordinary people cannot know. Under the blockade of various means, the soldiers kept in the dark did not know that the imperial capital had been captured, and they were still gearing up for the decisive battle.

However, before His Highness the Regent's heart was completely relieved, another slap was slapped on the face—just this afternoon, the news that the imperial capital had been captured by the rebels suddenly spread throughout the coalition forces!

I'm really afraid of something! Tomorrow is the decisive battle, and something went wrong at such a terrible time, and there is no time to buffer or appease!

Hei Yao was furious, and kicked Zhuo Qie, who was in charge of monitoring, to the ground, berating him for dereliction of duty and punishing him severely with military law.

Zhuoqie quickly explained that he had been leading the inspection team to investigate the barracks in person for the past two days, and had set up eyes and ears in every barracks, so he didn't find any signs of trouble beforehand. According to the investigation, there are two sources of news dissemination this afternoon, namely General Armstid's Black Nightmare Cavalry Regiment and the men and horses under the command of the elder family Devil Emperor Lagraros. those present.

Zhuoqie then specifically stated that there is no conclusive evidence to show that the leak of the news was at the behest of Armstey and Lagraros, and this is likely to be a trick of the enemy.

Hei Yao was originally suspicious by nature. After the fall of the imperial capital, he became suspicious of all the people around him. He was most afraid that the veteran families and royal families in the coalition army would betray him like those guys in the imperial capital. Now the news leak is like a fuse, igniting Obsidian's suppressed rage, disregarding everyone's pleas, directly captured Armstid and Lagraros and beheaded them for public display.

Killing the general before the decisive battle is a rather unfavorable approach. However, in this sensitive and extraordinary period, Hei Yao has already made up his mind that he would rather die than let him go. At present, the truth that the imperial capital has been captured can no longer be concealed, and his morale has been hit by his eyes. However, ordinary methods are difficult to work, and only the fastest and most effective bloody means can calm the hearts and minds of the army. From this point of view, these two people are chickens used to scare monkeys, regardless of whether they are innocent or not, they must die.

The execution of Armstid and Laglaros caused quite a commotion, and Black Yao hurriedly made promises to all the soldiers that they would be free to plunder after defeating Dark Moon, barely stabilizing the situation.

Black Yao knew in his heart that this stability was only superficial, and only a big victory could truly stabilize the morale of the army. In any case, tomorrow's battle will be won without defeat, and the main force of Dark Moon must be defeated. Otherwise, if it continues to delay, once George leads the army south, the coalition forces will be in danger of being attacked by the enemy.

On the other hand, there is still no news about Geraint who raided the western part of the Dark Moon. Sometimes, no news is also news. By now, Obsidian has already prepared for the worst. But even if Geraint's entire army is wiped out, it can also show that there is a considerable part of the defensive force in the west of the Dark Moon, so the main force of the Dark Moon Army in Dicko Town should be incomplete, and tomorrow's decisive battle will have a better chance of winning.

His Royal Highness the Prince Regent himself may not have realized that since when did a war that he thought to be without suspense at the beginning require such careful calculations

In Leith Town, south of Dicko Town, in the central military tent of the Dark Moon Army, Xia stood quietly and alone in front of the hanging military map, feeling ups and downs. At this time, he is still cramming to study some strategies and tactics It's already superfluous, whether it's a dragon or a snake, it depends on tomorrow's battle.

The news that General George had captured the imperial capital had already spread among the Dark Moon Army, and the soldiers were all excited, just like Xia Ya said at the mobilization meeting before the final battle, tomorrow's battle will be to regain the red blood flame flag Glory, a battle that rewrote the history of the Fallen Angel Empire.

In addition to the good news from the imperial capital, good news also came from the west. Athena successfully disintegrated the surprise attack of the third general of the empire, Geraint, in the Valan Fortress. . The favorable factors that can be used today have basically all played a role, and the key depends on tomorrow's battle.

If Hei Yao can be defeated in this battle, then her father's dream for many years and the heavy mission she has been carrying will all come true; if she fails, not only will the army be lost, the vitality will be greatly damaged, and the forces that have been watching in the imperial capital and other places may rise up. The previous plan will be ruined, and Dark Moon will also be in desperation under the pressure of every step. Whether it is for her, for Obsidian, or for the entire Fallen Angel Empire, it is a decisive battle in the true sense.

In this battle, from her father, the former prince of the empire, Green. Lucifer has been waiting since the beginning. After she took over as the lord, although Dark Moon has been in a difficult stage of being sanctioned and suppressed by Obsidian, she still has not given up on this belief.

I have imagined the coming of this battle countless times, but now when my extravagant hopes miraculously become reality, I feel like a dream in my heart. All because of that man, that miracle worker.

Without that man, An Yue would never have achieved what she is today, perhaps she is still that struggling princess. If there is no dark moon, with that man's outstanding ability, he can also create dazzling brilliance on another stage.

All the past scenes appeared in front of her eyes like a picture scroll, and Xia Ya's ups and downs of thoughts gradually calmed down, only the faint warmth lingered in her heart, showing a kind of unprecedented peace.

Unlike the uplift that Isabella had produced when she deliberately stimulated her fighting spirit, this was a real tranquility.

There is no turning back, no matter what the outcome of tomorrow's battle is, she will never regret it, just like when the man shouted "For the eldest princess" and rushed to Chiyou's 100,000 army alone; , when a "stupid woman" opens up to him for the first time.

Miss you very much.

I just miss you so much.

Shia gently closed her eyes.

At this time, in the northern part of Darkmoon City, a black horse crossed Jumo Town in the dark and headed towards Leith Town.

The speed of the black horse is extremely astonishing, even surpassing the flying speed of the magical beasts in the air. There is a black shadow lying on the horse's back, as if asleep. , no matter how steep the terrain is, it will only let the master behind it shake gently, and will not fall off the horse.

This person and one rider are Chen Rui and the little black horse. After Chen Rui pacified the imperial capital, he learned the news that An Yue and the coalition forces had decided to fight. They are all set in the imperial capital, and he has already rushed back to Dark Moon, but he still has a shortcut, which is the Rainbow Valley on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

Chen Rui is now the veritable hero of Rainbow Valley. He can enter the valley and avoid those magic circles with his eyes closed. At this time, Lola is no longer in Rainbow Valley. Obviously, he is going to Leith Town to participate in the decisive battle. Chen Rui uses Rainbow Valley to The space channel quickly returned to the garden of the Dark Moon Residence.

At this time, all the wyverns and flying monsters in Dark Moon City were basically dispatched to the front line. Fortunately, Chen Rui still had a little black horse that had been kept in the yard. It should be able to make up for this deficiency as much as possible.

Chen Rui is not falling into a deep sleep on horseback because of fatigue, but has entered the training ground of the super system. It is actually not safe to enter the training ground in this state, but there is not much time left. Seize every minute and every second.

For a long time, in Chen Rui's cognition, the super system is just an existence similar to a smart computer. This "computer" can be upgraded and its functions can be realized, and he is just a user with this unique benefit. . Gang realm, evil realm... until now, the transformation realm has developed more functions as the level increases.

After experiencing the "inheritance" of the ancient alchemy civilization, under the impact of demigod-level soul power, there has been a new change in the understanding of the super system, which has nothing to do with the "function", but the super system itself.

From chaotic space to the formation of stars and then to the formation of galaxies, the whole process is a process of the evolution of life in the universe, especially the animals, plants and even human beings on those planets, which give him the feeling that they are living existences, not digital virtual things .

In other words, the super system is the life, the living body that is constantly evolving and gestating.

What is life? Just a sense of "existence" in the universe

This is a big topic, and one that has no standard answer.

In the universe, the moment of birth of life means the beginning of death. Be it dragons who can live for tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years, or the so-called immortal corpses, even the legendary gods, in the face of the vast truth of the universe, after all, they are just a moment of youth. Every immortal being has a moment of decay, including the universe itself.

Chen Rui didn't think too much about things in this broad sense. As a human being, what he thought about was life in a simple sense, such as himself. Human life can be continued from generation to generation through blood. Even if it cannot be continued, it will be turned into soil or dust on the earth after death, which will breed and bloom flowers and plants, and exist as a new life. Birth and death, destruction and birth, the cycle continues. This is the true meaning of life and the truth of the universe.

To live is to exist. There is always existence until it perishes.

Existence is reason, existence and meaning.

Don't give up life easily, don't give up your possessions easily, and cherish everything that exists, which is the meaning of life in his understanding.

After this conceptual change, Chen Rui seems to have found a breakthrough in some kind of bottleneck, and entered a state of "looking at mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water". For example, the same trajectory of the stars, don't look at the "startup screen" or "programs and formulas", but really understand the truth and mystery contained in it.

When Chen Rui uses the meaning of life he understands to comprehend and touch the super-system life forms, incompatible conflicts and subtle fusions occur. The perception of touch is deepening, and the degree of fit with the super system is also increasing a little bit.

One day in the training ground is equivalent to a hundred days, and as time passed, the experience value of transformation experience in the status bar, which had been stagnant, began to jump at an alarming speed. But Chen Rui didn't know this, he had already forgotten the time and himself, and was completely immersed in the mysterious realm of fusion.

Not only that, but in a long bag wrapped in black cloth on Chen Rui's back, a sword that could not be stored in the storage warehouse was also rapidly changing with unknown light under the analysis of a certain skill.

While the little black horse was running like the wind, the morning sun was slowly becoming brighter through the mist.
