late at night.
Feeling the danger, Loki opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a pair of black eyes shining unbelievably in the darkness. Before he could react, the terrifying spiritual power had already surged like a tide, and Loki could only resist for a while. Within a minute, he completely lost consciousness.
A large amount of black smoke emerged from those black eyes, enveloping Loki's body, a trace of black air permeated into his body, Loki's eyes slowly opened, and the pupils suddenly turned gray-white.
The black smoke gradually condensed into Bai Luo's figure, looking at Luo Ji with gray eyes, showing a satisfied expression.
"Who are you?"
"Loki. Leviathan."
"What is your real purpose in coming to Jergal Fortress?"
"According to Lord Azgalor's order, I used the phantom shield as a bait to persuade Bai Luo to defect to Xue Fiend. In the past two years, Xue Yan has planted a dark hand that can be activated at any time in the dark moon, and is ready to cooperate with the blood fiend empire. Mobilize internally and capture the Dark Moon in one fell swoop."
"The cooperation between Xueyan and Xuefiend? Absurd!" Bai Luo sneered, "Why didn't I know that Xueyan had this plan?"
"I once inadvertently overheard Lord Azgalor's conversation with the mysterious person. It is said that this plan was temporarily decided by the leader of Blood Annihilation. The dark moon is the main target, and the real role of Jergal Fortress is to attract the attention of the Shadow Empire. If necessary, Bai Luo can be sacrificed..."
"If Bai Luo rejects the plan, try to kill the emperor's uncle Frenz of the Shadow Empire and his daughter Medilu, and then create rumors and plant them on Bai Luo, causing civil turmoil in the Blazing Blade Legion, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to occupy the Fortress of Jergal. Can replace Bai Luo as the ruler of the Leviathan royal family... "
Luo Ji's words made Bai Luo's eyes even colder. Although there are still many suspicious aspects in this plan, the mysterious leader Xue Yan has always acted unpredictablely and cannot be estimated with common sense. After the Crystal Valley was broken, Azgalor went to the Dark Moon and disappeared mysteriously for a time. Unexpectedly, he has been lurking in the Dark Moon to plan. The mysterious leader of Xueyan probably wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in the demon world to fish in troubled waters, and he didn't know how many others were left behind.
However, he, Bai Luo, is not an easy-going lamp, he has his own plan, no matter what, he will not become a victim!
"Where is the phantom shield?"
"Phantom Shield..." Loki's body trembled, his sluggish expression began to change, and the white in his pupils flickered, as if he was struggling fiercely. Bai Luo asked a few more questions, and found that the controlling power of the Nightmare Eyes became more and more unstable. This kind of power controlled by the soul was obtained by surprise. Although it was successful, for Luo Ji who also had the Nightmare Eyes, The resistance is also relatively strong. If it continues forcibly, Loki's soul power is likely to collapse and die.
Right now is a critical moment, Loki is just a pawn to be manipulated, and for the time being, there is still considerable use value, so he is more useful alive than dead.
Thinking of this, black smoke seeped out of Bai Luo's eyes, changing into the shape of a shackle, and before the power of soul control dissipated, it sank into Luo Ji's chest.
The magic lamp in the room lit up, reflecting Loki's pale face, and after a while, Loki finally opened his eyes slowly, saw the figure in the room, and said in a voiceless voice: "General!"
Then he remembered something again, showing a look of surprise: "What happened just now?"
"Stop pretending, Rocky." Bai Luo looked at him coldly, "You know my style and methods very well."
Loki seemed to be using the power in his body, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "The shackles of the mind! You actually cast the shackles of the mind on me!"
Mind shackles are one of the talents of the Leviathan royal family. It is similar to a master-servant contract. The number is limited, but there is more than one. The controller can pass through the limitation of space, punish or kill the controlled.
"Where is the magic shield?" Bai Luo thought, Luoji let out a scream, covered his heart, and the strength he had gathered suddenly collapsed, his facial features twisted in pain, and he could only roll around on the ground.
Bai Luo turned a blind eye to Luo Ji's pain, and said indifferently: "You should be very aware of the power of the shackles of the mind, even if you want to commit suicide, you can't do it now."
"General, have you misunderstood! Ah..."
"One more word of nonsense, and the punishment will be ten times more severe."
Knowing the failure, Loki gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Master Azgalor will not let you go!"
"Azgallo? If he can do anything to get me, he will let you come alone?" Bai Luo showed contempt, "As long as I am in this fortress, even Catherine may not be able to touch me. No nonsense Say, where is the phantom shield?"
Loki knew that it would be impossible not to tell the truth, so he said honestly: "The whereabouts of the phantom shield are unknown, but Master Azgalor did get the magic shield. The fortresses fought back against the Shadow Empire, attracting the attention of the Shadow Empire, and Master Azgalor launched a coup in the Dark Moon to occupy the Dark Moon Territory."
"anything else?"
"Gone… "
As soon as the words were finished, the shackles of the mind began to torture Loki again, and Loki begged for mercy.
"Why don't you say that you can sacrifice me if necessary? If I refuse, you will kill the father and daughter of Flenz and plant it on me? I used to underestimate you, but I didn't expect you to have the ambition to replace me!"
When Loki heard that the matter was exposed, his face became even more ugly, and he seemed to be willing to say: "Anyone has ambitions. Didn't you also rely on killing Master Manu to get to power? You only know to hide in the fortress all day long. Now the Queen's military system reform It's about to be completed, and when you can't fully control the army, you will die! It doesn't matter if you die, you can't drag the entire Leviathan family to be buried with you! I'm doing this for the benefit of the people!"
"Big talk!" Bai Luo snorted disdainfully, "Do you think that Azgalor or Blood Annihilation can give you a way out? In the current situation, the Blood Fiend Empire is obviously stronger than the Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire, and Catherine is out of various reasons. Considering or worrying, instead of cooperating with the Fallen Angel Empire, I want to take advantage of the situation to annex the Fallen Angel Empire and compete with the Blood Fiend Empire. In this game, Jergal Fortress is a very important pawn, and the opportunity I have been waiting for has finally come... "
Luo Ji knew Bai Luo very well, seeing his expression, he was slightly shocked: "Have you already..."
"I have never been willing to be inferior to others. I understand Catherine's fear of me, and I understand what I should do." Bai Luo did not continue, "Whether it is Catherine or Xueyan, it is just me. It's just the power you used. Now Catherine is still watching, but she couldn't bear it when she didn't expect Xueyan. It just so happens that your return is also an important opportunity to launch, so you still have a way to survive, and that is to completely Surrender to me!"
"You really don't want to kill me?" The dejected Loki raised his head, showing another hint of hope.
"Once you lose your value, I will kill you without hesitation! With the shackles of the mind, no matter where you hide, it is useless. What you have to do now is to maintain the value of your existence. If you are in this operation If you can play the role I expect and help me regain the magic shield, I will release your spiritual shackles."
"Okay!" Loki gritted his teeth and stood up.
Bai Luo nodded slowly, a smile finally appeared on his gloomy face, but he didn't notice the weird yellowish light in Luo Ji's eyes.
The next day, Bai Luo officially announced that Luo Ji, who had been performing secret missions abroad, would return and regain control of the military. In the afternoon, a military meeting was held in the castle.
At the meeting, Odogas, the great spirit officer directly appointed by Queen Catherine, who was at the same level as Bai Luo, was the first to attack: "General Bai Luo, Luo Ji killed three senior spirit officials today under the pretext of seizing power. I need an explanation!"
It turned out that on the first day Rocky came to power, he eliminated several "thorns" with various names and means. The so-called "stabs" are actually Catherine's uneasy factors buried in the army, including three senior spiritual officers.
The term Lingguan comes from Chen Rui, who is actually a political commissar. On the surface, his duties are to listen to the voices of the "basic level", appease the morale of the army, and recruit captives.
With the implementation of Catherine's military system reform, each centurion of the legion is now equipped with a spirit officer, and the lower ranks obey the higher level. In this way, the power of the army can be divided. The legion leader only has the right to command the soldiers to fight, but is under the control of the political commissar, which avoids the phenomenon that the legion leader supports the soldiers.
"Locky went out to perform secret missions for two years, and he didn't know much about the new system reform of the army today, so because of the conflicts with the three senior spirit officials in terms of power distribution, his violent temper was well known, and he was killed by mistake. I feel very sorry for the three spirit officials."
Ordogas said angrily: "It was just a wrong hand? According to military law, Loki should be executed as a public display!"
Bai Luo said calmly: "The power of the spirit officer is only to appease the hearts of the soldiers, Odogas, it is not up to you to intervene in the specific affairs of the Blazing Legion. I have dismissed Luo Ji as soon as possible to investigate and deal with it. This matter is quite special. , I will personally report it to Emperor Catherine and obey His Majesty's decision."
Bai Luo moved out of Catherine, and Ordogas couldn't hold on anymore. Bai Luo began to announce the theme of the meeting, discussing various problems arising from the reform of the military system.
This is an old topic. Many problems have arisen in the reform of the new military system, and opinions are not unified. The strange thing is that this time, Bai Luo did not oppose or reject the request made by Ordogas as before. Instead, he conducted a more in-depth group discussion, which went very smoothly.
Before I knew it, the meeting had been going on for several hours, and it was getting late.
At this time, a spiritual officer walked into the meeting room from the outside and whispered something in Ordogas' ear.
Odogas showed a look of shock, and suddenly got up: "General Bai Luo! Two hours ago, as the head of the legion, you secretly ordered to withdraw the defensive troops outside the fortress, and shut down the protective magic circle and early warning system in the east. ,Why?"
Bai Luo showed a strange smile: "This has nothing to do with the meeting, I will explain it to you later."
Ordogas said angrily: "Bai Luo! This is related to the life and death of the fortress! You must explain immediately, what exactly do you want to do?"
Bai Luo smiled without saying a word, and Ordogas immediately said to the senior spirit officer beside him: "Varota, you immediately take someone to the east of the fortress and reopen the protective magic circle!"
With a wave of Bai Luo's hand, the door of the conference hall automatically closed.
"You don't want to go anywhere." Bai Luo's gloomy laughter resounded through the hall, his eyes began to glow with black light, and everyone felt their sight dimmed, and the magic lights in the entire hall were covered with a layer of darkness.
