Xi Ya was a little surprised to see Chen Rui who had gone and returned, but Isabella's report immediately focused her attention.
What Isabella reported was two things. The first one was from the Blood Fiend Empire. Some time ago, the Blood Fiend Emperor Lei Chan had some insight and practiced in seclusion. Assisted. Black Yao's crusade against Dark Moon also deliberately chose this timing, but it was a pity that he was defeated and died in the end.
The two ruling princes of Xuesha had originally been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the first heir, but now the conflict has become even worse, and it has gradually evolved to an uncontrollable level. A few days ago, Edmund, who was oppressed by Achilles, finally resorted to the most extreme means. He launched a mutiny while Achilles was out on patrol, but was caught in an ambush by Achilles and was forced to lead the remnant soldiers out of the imperial capital. , currently fighting against Aleus in the northern part of the Iron Fist territory.
Achilles publicly declared Edmund as a traitor in his capacity as the prince of the prison, while Edmund claimed that Achilles persecuted his brother, deceived his father Lei Chan, and conspired to overthrow the entire Blood Fiend Empire. Now the two sides are at a stalemate .
Chen Rui cheered up: "The Blood Fiend Empire has been eyeing the tiger. I was worried that the Blood Fiend Empire would take advantage of the civil war in the Fallen Angel Empire. I didn't expect that it would cause internal strife. It seems that Lei Chan's retreat is at the right time. '. Without this confidant, the eldest princess can quickly rush to the imperial capital, immediately ascend the throne, and stabilize the entire empire."
"No, Her Royal Highness cannot go to the imperial capital yet," Isabella shook her head: "Because of the second news, the special envoy sent by the Shadow Empire to Dark Moon is already on the way. When we received the news of the official visit, the special envoy We have already passed Valan Town. Moreover, according to the latest information, the forces of the Shadow Empire are being actively mobilized."
Chen Rui was taken aback: "Mobilization of troops from the Shadow Empire?"
"From the current information, it is heading east and south. The predicted target may be the town of Leia in the west of the Dark Moon and the Tekula Fortress where the former General Geraint was stationed. The Fortress of Jergal, which is adjacent to Moon Shadow and Blood Fiend, seems to have no movement. Obviously aimed at the Fallen Angel Empire."
Shea looked solemn: "It seems that Geraint really expected it. The closest ally is probably the most vicious enemy. Our biggest enemy now is not the Blood Demon Empire, but the Shadow Empire."
"Yes, there are some indications that the Shadow Empire seems to have sold some large quantities of equipment and strategic materials to Alius or Edmund for obvious purposes. During our war with Obsidian, the Shadow Empire The empire has relaxed economic constraints and provided many favorable conditions, attracting many merchants from the Fallen Angel Empire and the Dark Moon Empire."
Isabella analyzed it seriously: "I have a guess that Dark Moon was obtained from General Kafu's magician army and goblin brigade in the blood thorn flower territory, and it is probably also at the behest of Emperor Catherine. Because we The stronger it is, the more intense the war with Obsidian will be. In other words, the internal conflicts in the Fallen Angel Empire will be more intense. Not only can this Empress hold her breath, but she also has a far-sighted vision, and she can damage the enemy without shedding blood. , worthy of being the number one wise man in the devil world."
Xi Ya showed a thoughtful look and nodded. The blood thorn flower lord Kafu and his personal relationship are indeed good, but Kafu is also the third general and great lord who is loyal to the Shadow Empire. Some supplies to support Dark Moon are still available. Forget it, the mage legion and goblin warriors are real elites and valuable military resources. This kind of gift is too "heavy". Now it seems that this is to increase Dark Moon's bargaining chip against the imperial capital. The Shadow Empire has been holding a wait-and-see attitude since the Civil War of the Fallen Angel Empire began. It is even possible that Geraint's army horse that attacked Dark Moon passed Leia Town smoothly, and it may have obtained some kind of acquiescence from above.
Chen Rui was silent for a while. He knew Catherine better than Xia and Isabella. She was a wise and paranoid woman, a truly mature and powerful ruler of the empire. She will never spare war and force as long as real peace can be established. The blood fiend and the fallen angel had civil strife successively, which gave Catherine a god-sent opportunity. Although the Blood Fiend Empire is currently in chaos, Emperor Lei Chan is still there. With Lei Chan, the Blood Fiend Empire cannot fall. What Catherine can do is to further intensify the conflict between the two princes, and try to make the blood fiendish civil strife this time Injury. The Fallen Angel Empire is different. This war against the Dark Moon has caused serious internal friction. There are several demon emperors who have fallen, more than a dozen demon emperors. More than 500,000, this weakest state, if Catherine can remain indifferent, it is not Catherine.
There is no real friendship between countries. Even the superficial peaceful coexistence still has countless brain-devouring games behind it. Chen Rui has a premonition that with Xi Ya's official ascension, he will inevitably become a hostile Fang's role, standing opposite Catherine who is the emperor.
"Geraint and Rometty should already be preparing for the selection of soldiers. Immediately order him and Rometty's Flying Cloud Legion to set off first, and use the magical beasts in the sky to rush to Fort Tekula to deploy defenses as quickly as possible. Tim's Moon Shadow Legion We have already returned to Valan Fortress, but our troops are not enough." Xi Ya pondered and said: "In this battle, the three armies of the Dark Moon lost nearly half of their troops, and the coalition forces of the former imperial capital suffered more than half of their casualties. It went well, but it is impossible to form an army in a short time, which is really nerve-wracking."
"Where's the undead army?" Isabella narrowed her eyes, "The casualties this time should be a good supplement for the undead army."
Xi Ya shook his head: "If we haven't eliminated Hei Yao, it is indeed possible to do so, but now that Hei Yao and the imperial capital coalition forces have all surrendered, if I transform their dead robes into undead creatures, then what I get will be far better than what I lost. Besides, in the battle with Obsidian, Dark Moon's hole cards have been completely exposed, and there are no secrets in terms of military power. With Catherine's wisdom, if a war is really going to be launched, there will definitely be targeted deployments."
Isabella shrugged following Chen Rui's habitual action, but Xia could vaguely guess that Isabella should be able to guess the question of the undead, and the purpose of making this opinion was more to remind her.
Chen Rui finally spoke: "Don't worry about the material of the undead for the time being. Guladam once said that there are at least 300,000 soldiers available in the ancient battlefield of Yankou Town. If he helps guard the Valan Fortress, it should be able to Block possible attacks. It is estimated that the special envoy of the shadow will return in a day or two. Now we can only adapt to the situation and see what news the special envoy brings. At the same time, Her Highness the Princess needs to make all preparations for the imperial capital. "
Xi Ya nodded. In fact, in the past few days, she has finished handling the settlement work of Dark Moon and is ready to leave. However, because Chen Rui has not woken up and the most important sword of the fallen angel is missing, she has been using consolidation Realm grounds await.
The three discussed related matters for a while, and Xi Ya summoned Old Gauss, Sarandi, and Geraint to discuss, while Chen Rui and Isabella left the palace to act separately.
When he walked to the outer courtyard, Chen Rui said, "If you have confirmed the details of the Shadow Empire's envoy, please let me know immediately."
Isabella nodded, her voice suddenly became charming, and she asked, "Why don't you ask me if I'm free tonight? Did you lose your mood because of something important about a certain Highness?"
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: "Mood is actually nothing, so...beautiful lady, do you still remember a certain promise? Can you leave me a door tonight?"
"I've always had a good memory, so it's okay to keep the door open," Isabella's eyes fluttered. "It's just that you have to deal with the little black dragon guarding the door first."
Orpheus is now tired of being in Isabella's house every day, which means that if Chen Rui wants to cash in some benefits, he must first get rid of the thorn in Miss Heilong's side.
"Why is Olivier so attached to you all of a sudden? Still calling you sister?"
Isabella spread her hands helplessly: It's better to call her sister than her mother... The first thing the black dragon girl woke up from her coma was to call her mother, which almost made the usually calm intelligence leader lose her composure.
These days, she took care of Olypheus and recuperated her injuries. In fact, she didn't express it deliberately. I don't know why, but the chick saw the right thing and insisted on it.
Isabella sighed: "It's good to have Olivier here, lest I always be alone in my place, and I can only look forward to the gift of one or two hours that someone occasionally allocates. .”
"I'm sorry." Chen Rui lowered his head guiltily, "I'm very selfish, why don't you just move to..."
"Don't think I'm as easy to deceive as your women." Isabella snorted softly, looking into the man's eyes with a touch of tenderness, "Since you feel guilty, then a certain promise is considered a promise." If you have time, you are welcome to come and sit in my deserted little place, I think Oliver would be very happy to meet her boss."
It's over, now even the benefits are gone.
Her Royal Highness is like this, and so is Her Majesty Auntie. At least Her Majesty still postpones the payment, and My Aunt simply cancels the account.
"Wipe your mouth after eating and don't recognize anyone. Are all women so irresponsible?" Chen Rui turned his head angrily and left, seeing that there were no patrolling guards nearby, and suddenly appeared in front of Isabella , and then teleported to a certain corner, and then lifted the veil and printed it on the slightly purple lips.
Double teleport is used for this kind of thing, which can be regarded as dust on the pearl.
Isabella was caught off guard and wanted to struggle, but now that Chen Rui's basic strength had reached the peak of the Demon Emperor, and his mental power had even reached S+, Isabella was weak and unable to break free, biting the man's lips He took a sip, but Chen Rui still didn't let go. Slowly, the resistance turned into an active entanglement, and after a long time, the two sides slowly separated.
Isabella looked at his swollen lips, and touched them gently with her fingers: "It's not that I broke my promise, it's just... the difficulty has not been completely overcome, has it?"
The so-called "overcoming difficulties" is a condition of a previous benefit.
"I don't care what the difficulties are, or how deep your knot is, or even being a substitute, you just need to know one thing," Chen Rui hugged her domineeringly, "You owe me A few lives, without my permission, you must not let yourself die again! Do you understand?"
Isabella trembled: "What do you mean?"
Chen Rui didn't speak, just looked straight into her eyes, Isabella looked away, gently broke free from his embrace, and put on the veil.
"Don't be smart." Isabella's eyes were a little red, she turned her back, and walked out slowly, "I want to go back to the base first to start the special envoy's intelligence matters."
"Yini..." Chen Rui sighed: "I just want to say this, you have already died once, and even your life can be restarted, why can't you start over?"
Isabella's body paused, and her voice was a little low: "Give me a little time."
