Just as Catherine expected, Lei Chan was also hit by "some damn guy".
For the Blood Fiend Empire, which hides its soldiers among the people, it is stronger than the Shadow Empire. Lei Chan adopted a solution that is completely different from Catherine's style, which is to preach the argument that war must be won.
The Blood Fiend Empire has the strongest combat power among the three empires. The war with the Fallen Angel Empire two years ago proved this very well. At that time, if Catherine did not show up in time for reinforcements, the Fallen Angel Empire would have been wiped out by Lei Chan .
Regardless of individual strength or overall combat effectiveness, the Blood Fiend Empire is a well-deserved first empire. From a certain point of view, if a war really breaks out, it will bring huge benefits to the Blood Fiend Empire. This is also a kind of pride injected into the whole country by the Blood Fiend Empire. This kind of pride has been maintained since the fall of Emperor Baiye, who fell into an angel.
Under such circumstances, the Blood Fiend Empire has temporarily passed the crisis, but the Blood Fiend Empire has many far-sighted talents who have seen that the "bank", a new thing learned from the Fallen Angel Empire, is definitely a double-edged sword. It can bring huge benefits, it can also bring unexpected huge crises, and it can even shake the foundation of an empire. This "currency shortage" may just be the beginning of a "war".
There is no death and blood in this war, but the level of horror is not below the real battle. What's more frightening is that you don't know what kind of way the enemy will attack.
Compared with these two empires, the Fallen Angel Empire, which is also a "subject", seemed calm and unhurried. Through a series of measures such as increasing interest rates, appeasing people's hearts, and holding various activities, the situation was quickly stabilized.
Three days have passed, and the Fallen Angel Empire ushered in the first military parade broadcast live to the entire Demon Realm. It took only a few days for this military parade to officially start after the announcement by the TV station, but it was obvious that the Fallen Angel Empire had been brewing this ceremony for a long time.
The largest main road leading from the city gate to the central square of the imperial capital has been isolated by "traffic control" in the early morning. No carriages or pedestrians are allowed to pass through. Soldiers are standing on both sides of the street, and corresponding protective barriers have been set up.
Before the ceremony started, both sides of the street were already crowded with waiting people, among whom were naturally the eyes and ears of the other two empires.
Scenes of pictures began to appear on the big magic TV screen along the way. These pictures showed the style and features of the imperial capital from various angles, especially the huge statue of the imperial palace and several famous landmark buildings, which were the scene of the live broadcast.
From time to time, the screen switches to different clips, including the scenes of people in various territories watching magic TV in the territory square and arena. The male and female voices of the commentary cooperated tacitly, describing the story of Emperor Shia rising step by step from the Dark Moon Territory, defeating the rebellious Obsidian, and leading the people of the Fallen Angel Empire out of poverty and towards prosperity. Although these deeds are already familiar to the public, they still feel inexplicably excited after listening to them from beginning to end as if they were stories.
The big screen cut to the newly built high platform in the central square. Amid the majestic and solemn military songs, a bloody flag was slowly rising—the king's flag of the Fallen Angel Empire, the red blood flame flag.
On the high platform, Empress Xia of the Fallen Angel Empire appeared. The figure of Lucifer, the empress who has only been on the throne for a few years, has achieved absolute rule over the fallen angel empire, and is the supreme controller of the empire in the true sense.
The ministers and nobles were all standing under the stage, and there were dense crowds nearby, but there was only one person standing behind Her Majesty on the stage, a man wearing a mask and a cloak—Prince Agulie.
His Royal Highness Wang Fu, who was once questioned, turned out to be the first dual-material master of potions and utensils in the devil world for hundreds of thousands of years after his overwhelming appearance in the alchemist competition, especially he was able to create the highest black potion , the great master of the resurrection potion!
Not only that, His Royal Highness Wang Fu also showed the powerful strength to move Lei Chan, the most powerful man in the devil world, and openly invited him to participate in the martial arts competition in a month's time. Compared with Her Majesty the Empress, who had inconceivably reversed Obsidian, Her Royal Highness is also a legend.
Empress Shea delivered a brief but rousing speech before announcing that the military parade had officially begun.
The rhythmic and powerful steps were heard in people's ears, and they saw a black team appearing on the avenue in the distance, and the TV screen was already close to the camera, which was a phalanx formed by soldiers.
There were about 300 people in the first phalanx. The soldiers were all dressed in blue leather armor. They were full of energy, holding round shields and long swords. They walked neatly and moved in unison. The more than 300 soldiers seemed to be alone, even though they were only seen from a distance. You can feel that oppressive momentum.
The voice of the commentary on Magic TV sounded: "Elite light infantry, suitable for fighting in various environments, light shields can flexibly resist long-range arrows and magic, sharp long swords will harvest any approaching enemy, they are indispensable on the battlefield The missing cornerstone…”
Behind the light infantry phalanx, there were two phalanxes of heavy infantry and pikemen. Soon, cavalry and heavy cavalry phalanx also appeared in everyone's sight.
The Blood Fiend Empire, the palace hall.
The large-screen magic TV simultaneously broadcast live the military parade of the Fallen Angel Empire, and the audience was Lei Chan and the officials.
A legion leader showed disdain: "These troops seem to be elite, but they are only selected one out of a hundred. Our army of the Blood Fiend Empire can select more elite soldiers. If the so-called 'Grand Parade' is just this kind of level, His Majesty Xia is self-defeating."
The colleague on the side nodded and said: "Her biggest failure is that she should not have listed every type of army into a square formation. If the square formation is divided according to the legion instead of the type of arms, it can still hold up the scene. I believe it will be soon. This swashbuckling farce will be over."
"..."
Lei Chan on the throne listened to the discussions of the ministers and generals, without saying a word, his eyes fell on the masked man behind Xia in the picture, a cold light suddenly flashed, and he said three words lightly: "Look. "
As soon as this sentence came out, the discussions in the palace suddenly fell silent.
Then came the goblin warriors. Goblin warriors are the strongest manipulators of ordnance on the battlefield, and they are also an indispensable and important unit in large-scale battles. In the offensive and defensive battles such as Moonlight Fortress and Varok Fortress, goblin warriors played an important role. effect.
The goblins are much shorter than ordinary warriors. They are not as grand as the previous army, but have their own special way. I only saw a small arrow tower quickly erected in the goblin team, and the small arrow tower changed into For a catapult, it was disassembled and assembled while advancing at an unimaginable speed, which won warm applause from the audience.
Behind the phalanx of goblins, the phalanx of magicians appeared. They all wore black robes. Under the command of the team leader, they raised their hands together. The whole team burned like a flame, and then the flame changed again, looking gray One piece, mixed with countless electric lights, these powers are controlled quite exquisitely, while showing power, it gives people a pleasing effect.
After the team of magicians passed by, the camera switched to the sky, where there was a mass of black figures, it was the Air Legion, composed of three rows of horned beasts, biped wyverns, and lions and scorpions, formed in the air under the control of the knights The three big characters "Fallen Angel" landed on the ground.
The performance of the Air Legion made the atmosphere of the audience more active. One by one, squirming figures appeared in everyone's sight. They were wearing special leather armor and holding longbows. The upper body was a graceful female body, and the lower body was a winding snake body. , is the Medusa Legion. The Medusas are powerful archers. They are far superior to their peers in terms of range and sight. What's more frightening is that these beautiful snakes also have the talent of petrification, which can turn the enemy into lifeless statue.
Behind Medusa is a group of tall and strong tauren. The heavy metal chain armor is nothing to these burly warriors, and the giant axes in their hands will tear apart the approaching enemies. In addition to their physique, the tauren also have metal casting skills that are not commensurate with their rough appearance, and they are the best blacksmiths in the devil world.
Just when people thought that the phalanx for the military parade was almost over, the nearby air suddenly became cold, and new phalanxes appeared, which surprised many people.
Rows of strange troops are coveted, this is a group of skeletons with bones, holding machetes and shields, it is an army of undead!
Skeleton soldiers, the lowest cannon fodder among undead creatures.
However, these skeletons are like elite soldiers, wearing armor, holding sharp weapons, and walking neatly, without the slightest sense of mess. Soldiers who have participated in the Obsidian crusade against the Dark Moon know that these are not ordinary cannon fodder. It is comparable to the "skeleton warrior" with heavy infantry combat power! What's more frightening is that they don't know what fear, fatigue or pain are. Even if only half of their bodies are left, they can still become the enemy's nightmare.
Behind the skeleton warriors is a group of ghosts floating forward in formation. Ghosts are undead creatures transformed from the dead with powerful spiritual power. They can greatly reduce or even avoid physical damage. They are the absolute nemesis of all melee soldiers.
Immediately following the ghost phalanx was a group of terrifying terrifying knights, all covered in black armor, and the horses they rode were also black ghost horses. Horror knights are made of special dead souls and corpses. They were powerful knights during their lifetime. Because of some kind of idea or curse, the soul cannot be dissipated. They are reborn as undead with resentment and killing as their source of power, and they retain a strong fighting consciousness. And skills are the top existence of undead creatures.
The horror knights are also a phalanx of about 300 people. This lineup is a bit scary. The general horror knights have the strength of the big devil. Coupled with the speed of the ghost horse, this will be a very mobile team on the battlefield. Take a sharp knife.
Horror knights, ghosts, and skeleton soldiers are considered undead creatures in the conventional sense, while the skeleton mages and skeleton knights who appeared later, including the skeleton air force flying in the air, are undead creatures that jumped out of ordinary cognition, and they are also the one who lived two thousand years ago. The work of Guladam, a master of necromantic magic who has transformed himself into a lich.
Following the introduction of the commentary, an astonishing number of undead seas appeared on the magic TV screen. These are naturally edited clips individually, showing the audience the power of the army of fallen angels and undead. It's just a drop in the bucket.
In the main hall of the Shadow Palace, Catherine and the generals and ministers of the Shadow Empire were also watching the live broadcast while discussing heatedly.
Imperial General Cafu frowned and said, "Analysed from intelligence, these undead armies are stronger than we expected, no matter in terms of number or individual strength, there must be some special changes."
"I can only be sure of one thing," Al, the chancellor of the exchequer, looked at the army of undead, his eyes glowed, "The equipment of those skeletons is better than our regular army. Take the skeleton mage as an example, those magic-enhancing equipment , it exceeds the equipment standard of our Magician Legion."
"War is a waste of money. With the current strength of the Fallen Angel Empire, if it is just a comparison of money, it is definitely the number one in the Devil Realm." Another minister also said with deep feeling: "The military strength of the Fallen Angel Empire It seems to be much stronger than two years ago, and even we may not be sure of winning."
"The regular legion, the Medusa and the Tauren legion, plus the undead legion," the emperor's uncle Frenz frowned. Finish?"
"Uncle Emperor, your hunch is right..." Catherine's voice sounded from the throne.
Everyone looked at the big screen in unison.
I saw a new team appearing behind the undead phalanx. They were a group of soldiers in simple leather armor, holding strange weapons in their hands. Looking carefully, they were long tube-shaped metal objects. This weapon should appear in the army for the first time, but it is no stranger to most demons.
"This is..." Someone couldn't help blurting out: "Magic Rifle!"
This is a powerful magic weapon in the game "Endless Warrior OL"!
The range and damage of the magic rifle far exceeds the traditional bow and arrow, it is not under the ballista, and it has the mobility and portability that the ballista does not have. The most important thing is that ordinary fighters without magic power can also manipulate it to display terrifying combat power. It is a key weapon in monster siege battles or dungeons in the game. Rifle shooters with shooting proficiency skills are also indispensable in the team. Unexpectedly, magic rifles actually appeared in reality!
Is it a gimmick? Still bluffing
Balloon-like flying targets rose in the sky in the distance, and the soldiers raised their guns and shot in a uniform movement, "bang, bang, bang", and all the flying targets shattered.
Seeing this scene, the audience, whether in front of Magic TV or at the scene, were all excited, the real Magic Rifle! Real Rifle Shooter!
Catherine and Frentz looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes. They knew very well what the appearance of this new weapon meant.
Surprisingly, dozens of huge figures appeared in the air, tumbling and flying, making various difficult movements, and then neatly landed on the ground, forming a formation.
— Huge human figure, eight or nine meters tall, the whole body is made of dark golden metal, and the eyes are shining with light blue light. It is hard to believe that the previous flexible movements can be made by such a big man.
Battle Dolls! Whether it is the palace of the Shadow Empire or the Blood Fiend Empire, more than one person has already exclaimed in unison.
The narrator here has already said its real name: Construct Battle Puppet!
