Another barracks under the purple moon sky.
"Father." Terris bowed respectfully and saluted.
Lei Chan glanced at Terris: "Do you know why I called you here?"
"Even if my father doesn't summon me, I will come to my father." Terris looked very sincere, "First of all, I want to apologize to my father. As the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition Army, the army I led I suffered repeated setbacks in the Warlock Fortress, and failed to win the fortress until my father personally conquered it. I am really ashamed of my father's trust."
Lei Chan shook his head: "George of the Warlock Fortress is a famous general of the generation, not to mention that Queen Xia personally sits in the fortress, plus Agulie and others who possess strange powers, it is really difficult to win in a short period of time, and I am also involved. Because of the underestimation of the enemy. Besides... you are only the deputy commander, and it is not your turn to take on this responsibility."
"Then, the second thing I want to report to Royal Father is about Eldest Brother Achilles... Rumors have been circulating in the army recently that I murdered Eldest Brother because of my fight for the heir. The more you explain this kind of rumor, the more difficult it is to explain, so I have remained silent. The fact... Speaking of it, the cause of the death of the eldest brother is very complicated, I will explain everything to my father now, and if my father wants to dispose of me, I will have no complaints."
"You say, I'm listening." Lei Chan nodded slowly.
"There are a few things that I don't want to hide from my father. My father should have retreated in the deepest part of the dark oven. When I left, the war between the big brother and the second brother had reached its fiercest level. Brother Dahuang seemed to be very concerned about the situation of Emperor Father, and asked me a lot of questions. I told him the truth, saying that I was practicing on the outskirts, and I had never seen Emperor Father. After testing me several times, and seeing that the answer was correct, I was relieved and invited me to put down the rebellion of the second brother. However, after I assisted the big brother to break the Iron Fist Castle, there was news that my father had left the customs. I tried my best to hide it, but I still found many abnormalities, for example, his mood seemed to fluctuate very much... "
Lei Chan's eyes narrowed slightly at Terris' words: "Go ahead."
"Later, he took the initiative to ask his father to serve as the general commander of the attack on Warlock Fortress, and asked his father to let me be his deputy. However, during the siege battle, the elder brother still refused to listen to my tactical advice. , I just ordered the army to attack, I feel..." Terris seemed a little hesitant.
"What do you feel?" Lei Chan frowned: "You don't have to worry about it."
"It seems that the big brother is deliberately consuming our elite army, and he seems to be delaying time. I have never figured out why he has such an intention." Terris lowered his head, "I have been in conflict for a long time, and I want to go to the big Brother Huang, let’s talk frankly. On that day, I discovered a strange thing. Brother Dahuang was manipulating a kind of light. There were strange runes in the light, and the runes finally burst open. Brother Dahuang His eyes also turned a strange silver color..."
Lei Chan's eyes flashed brightly, although his face remained unchanged, his fists were clenched tightly.
"After Brother Dahuang used this power, I was noticed by him, and then Brother Dahuang... wanted to kill me angrily. I... could only resist, but I was not the opponent of Brother Dahuang. I was knocked down by him. I asked Dahuang Brother, why did you do this? He just said that I would be the biggest obstacle for him to inherit the empire. Just when he was about to kill him, he seemed to be backlashed by some force and fell to the ground. Some kind of illusion, inexplicably saying something in his mouth, he is just playing with that, to unify the demon world, and finally... "
As Tevez said, he took out something from the interspatial ring. It was a crystal coffin. Inside the coffin was the corpse of Achilles. The coffin should be some kind of special prop. The corpse did not rot. Especially the face, still lifelike.
Lei Chan stood up, slowly came to the crystal coffin, glanced at the corpse of Aleus, with complicated gazes intertwined in his eyes.
"When I went to find Brother Huang, those personal guards could testify... But speaking of it, I have to bear indirect responsibility for Brother Emperor's death." Tevez looked sad and lowered his head, "Actually, I was in the dark. After breaking through in the furnace, I also regard Brother Dahuang as a competitor, but I want to beat Brother Dahuang upright, it is definitely not like this... It cannot be called the result of 'victory'."
Lei Chan looked back at the crystal coffin, and sighed: "I have also heard about Achilles' rejection of you on the front line. I will further verify this matter. If what you said is true, then the responsibility It's not yours. The coffin stays here, you step back first."
"Thank you, Father!" Terris showed joy, walked to the gate of the camp, and suddenly turned around: "Father, please forgive me for asking, is what Catherine said during the day true? Your body..."
Lei Chan glanced at Tevez indifferently, but didn't speak, Tevez seemed to sigh softly, bowed and retreated.
Lei Chan didn't look at Tevez's disappearing figure, but looked straight at the peaceful expression of Achilles in the coffin, put his hands on the coffin lid, closed his eyes gently, and let the moonlight pouring into the camp to overwhelm him. The shadow of the widow stretches very long.
The next day, Black Cloud Town.
The largest building in the town, the temporary headquarters of the original Blood Fiend army, welcomed a new "guest".
The hall of the command headquarters has been emptied, and a huge round table has been placed, with a throne at the three corners. These are the only three seats in the entire hall, because in front of these three people, others are not qualified to sit. Down.
Soon, the three seats were occupied by the masters. After the successful peace talks in the Shadow Empire three hundred years ago, the leaders of the three countries finally gathered together again. The content of this meeting was also peace.
Terris stood beside Lei Chan, Chen Rui wearing a mask stood beside Xi Ya, and next to Catherine was Lilith, the devil-level confidant who rushed to the fortress last night.
"Your Majesty Lei Chan, Your Majesty Xiya." Catherine said with a veil, "I believe you two are very aware of the current situation. The war between the two countries has deviated from the original intention of the war. If it continues, it will not only be the fallen angels The Empire, the Shadow Empire, and the entire Demon Realm will fall into a protracted war, and I believe that this situation is something that none of our three emperors want to see."
Shia nodded: "I agree with Her Majesty Catherine's point of view. Although the Fallen Angel Empire is the victim of this war, if you persist in hatred, it will never be true peace. I hope that the people of the three countries can Live in peace and contentment, instead of being trapped in endless wars."
"As long as the Three Kingdoms exist, then the war is only a matter of time." Lei Chan's attitude seemed very unfriendly: "Only by destroying the country and establishing a unified regime can the people truly enjoy peace and stability."
Catherine said calmly: "Everyone understands this truth, but no one wants to be unified by the will of others. Moreover, the Blood Fiend Empire does not have the ability to swallow the other two countries at the same time. Similarly, the shadow Neither the Empire nor the Fallen Angel Empire, if they insist on going their own way, it will be an unimaginable disaster for the people of the three countries."
"If I let go now, it will be a real disaster for the Blood Fiend Empire." Lei Chan said coldly, "Your Majesty Catherine, I don't know how long you will rule the Shadow Empire as a king, but I can be sure. What’s more, even now that I’m still in the Blood Fiend Empire, you are already the most terrifying enemy; as for Your Majesty Shia, although your personal strength is not worth mentioning, the economic development momentum of the Fallen Angel Empire is the first among the three kingdoms , the potential of the military should not be underestimated, as long as you are given time to develop, you will become a powerful empire that is no less than a shadow among the three empires, and the Blood Fiend Empire will become the weakest link of the three kingdoms. It will be reversed, and I will never sit back and watch that day come."
"His Majesty Lei Chan thinks highly of the Fallen Angel Empire, and also underestimates the Blood Fiend Empire." Xia shook his head, "While the Fallen Angel Empire is developing, Blood Fiend and Shadow are not stagnant, but are also making progress. The Shadow Empire has His Majesty Catherine, the number one wise man, and the Blood Fiend Empire, in addition to His Majesty the number one powerhouse, also has His Highness Tetris, who has been hailed as the number one genius in the Demon World for many years. , he can become His Majesty's best helper, the future Demon World should be a world of rapid development and common prosperity, rather than endless chaos and war... "
"Your Majesty Xiya is right," Catherine said in time, "As for His Majesty Lei Chan's physical condition, Agulie, the prince of the Fallen Angel, should have a solution. If it is convenient, is His Majesty Lei Chan willing to accept this help? ?”
Lei Chan snorted coldly: "Is this a threat?"
"Please forgive my impoliteness, Your Majesty Lei Chan," Chen Rui said: "This is not a threat, it is just a help to a friendly neighbor. Of course, if it is an enemy, I believe that no one here will do such a foolish thing. thing."
"It's still a threat." Lei Chan snorted coldly: "However, it sounds like you are sure to get rid of the abnormality on my body?"
"If the vitality is weakened, then there is at least one way to prolong it. If it is convenient, His Majesty can talk to me about this issue alone later." Chen Rui didn't want to easily reveal the existence of the life-extending potion, and Catherine said , The life-prolonging medicine may not be able to cure the root cause, but it should not be a big problem to treat the symptoms, so Chen Rui's answer was vague and affirmative.
"There is nothing convenient or inconvenient. This is a curse that confuses the powers of the dark and light. The Mammon royal family has the talent to master the dark. The curse of the dark is fine. The stubborn one is the curse of the light." "Lei Chan glanced at Chen Rui contemptuously, "Are you sure you can solve the curse of the light system that has troubled a country-level powerhouse?"
"If Your Majesty is sure that it is a curse of the light system..." Chen Rui's eyes behind the mask lit up, "Then, I am 100% sure."
Lei Chan was slightly moved, and stared at the mask tightly: "Ten percent?"
Chen Rui looked at Lei Chan without fear, and his voice was full of confidence: "I said 100%, it is 100%."
As soon as Terris, who was beside Lei Chan, heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly flashed a gloomy and cold light, and instantly became sharp and resolute, as if he had made some kind of determination.
