As expected in advance, the currency crisis that shook the Shadow Empire and the Blood Fiend Empire intensified after the Fallen Angel Empire's military parade, and the situation in the Fallen Angel Empire became increasingly stable.
There is a strong belief in the Fallen Angel Empire, which is what Shia said: We are not afraid of any war!
This domineering statement, since the fall of Emperor Bai Ye, is the first time it has been uttered from the mouth of the king of the Fallen Angel Empire in the past four hundred years. It is so confident—this is not blind arrogance. The displayed force is enough to overlook the entire demon world, and there is no need to hide the secrets of those powerful arms.
In the days after the military parade, the cohesion and self-confidence of the people of the Fallen Angel Empire was unprecedentedly strong. In contrast, the other two empires seemed panicked, lest they would fall into an unwinnable war.
There is news that the Shadow Empire and the Blood Fiend Empire have secretly formed an alliance to jointly fight against the Fallen Angel Empire. No matter whether it is true or not, the Fallen Angel Empire is now the well-deserved number one power in the Demon Realm, including both military and economic aspects. Who would have imagined that just two years ago, the Fallen Angel Empire was the weakest existence in the Three Kingdoms, and it had to rely on the power of the Shadow Empire to resist the invasion of Blood Fiend.
It's not that the Blood Fiend Empire or the Shadow Empire has become weaker, but that the Fallen Angel Empire has become stronger, unbelievably strong, and a qualitative change has taken place in just two years.
The Shadow Empire and the Blood Fiend Empire helped each other, and finally temporarily stabilized the currency crisis, but a wise man like Catherine has already seen a series of terrible consequences that this crisis may bring, and even made the entire empire Economic collapse, this kind of alternative economic war, is the first time that this kind of economic war has appeared in the devil world, and the lethality is so great that it can be called terrifying.
But for now, most of the public's attention has been diverted by another matter, that is, the Demon Realm Martial Arts Conference in the Blood Fiend Empire is finally about to begin.
This time, the venue of the martial arts competition is set in the ancient battlefield within the territory of the Iron Fist. The candidates for the event are not limited to the inside of the Blood Fiend Empire, but the powerhouses of the entire Demon Realm, especially the Blood Fiend Emperor and the number one powerhouse Lei Chan will personally Going out, the prince's husband of the Fallen Angel Empire, the double master Agulie and the shadow emperor Catherine will also be invited to fight.
The Blood Fiend Empire attached great importance to this grand event. It is said that it took a year to set up the protective barriers in each competition area, and Emperor Lei Chan even went to debug and inspect it himself.
Just like the military parade, the entire competition will be broadcast to the entire Demon World through Magic TV. This broadcast has received strong support from the Fallen Angel Empire a long time ago, sending a large number of people to participate in the construction of the arena, and providing the most advanced broadcasting equipment and professionals. .
The registration period was three days, but as early as a week ago, the Iron Fist territory was already overcrowded.
Although the two popular "sports" of fighting ball and magic games are popular in the demon world, for the demons who are brave and fierce in their bones, the status of fighting is still irreplaceable. What's more, this is an unprecedented grand fighting match, and even the strongest will fight in person.
The registration location, result notification office and player waiting area for the competition are unified in the expanded arena of Tekken City. This arena was originally a large arena second only to the capital of the Blood Fiend Emperor. After renovation and expansion, the area has been expanded by two Times, can accommodate nearly 100,000 spectators.
Due to the high level of strength of the contestants this time, considering safety issues, the audience cannot go to the scene of the ancient battlefield to watch. They can only watch it from various angles on the special large screen that passes through the arena. In fact, they can also watch it on Magic TV anywhere. , but the Tekken Arena can see those strong players participating, feel the warm atmosphere of the scene, and watch the battle from different angles, so the audience who come to the Tekken territory are still flocking.
Chen Rui rushed to the Iron Fist Territory on the last day of registration. As we all know, the military parade strategy of the Fallen Angel Empire a month ago was quite successful. In fact, the whole plan started when the three major empires signed the peace agreement, especially the one It seems that "all the new technologies that appear in the Fallen Angel Empire will be shared with the other two empires" that seem to have suffered a lot. Magic TV and rice wine are just bait thrown out, and they tasted "sharing" in the two empires. After the sweetness, the real killer move of "bank" was issued.
Behind the seemingly stable profit model, there is actually the most terrifying crisis hidden. This crisis is no less than a life-and-death war. The currency crisis is just the beginning. If a series of subsequent financial turmoil is triggered, then the two The economy of the great empire is likely to collapse or go backwards. In this environment, even if the two empires do not break the boat and start a war, the Fallen Angel Empire may be affected immeasurably due to the butterfly effect. What Chen Rui wants is a prosperous and stable demon world, which can be in the form of an alliance, but it is definitely not a "unification" destroyed by economic warfare and war. The real purpose of his launching the currency war is like this military parade The intention is the same: to display, deter, and create momentum.
At the future negotiating table, whoever has a harder fist will be more "reasonable".
This time, all the relatives and friends who signed up for Chen Rui came, including Queen Xia. In addition to Chen Rui, Luo La, Diu Diu, Luo Meng and Olivier participated in the competition.
Participating in this martial arts meeting, helping Chen Rui defeat Lei Chan, and avenging the shame of Warlock Fortress, was a decision made by Luo La early in the morning. Chen Rui did not stop her. With Luo La's strength, even if she met Lei Chan It is also an unknown number, and there should be no danger. Besides, Laura has his own way to be strong, and he doesn't want to hold back.
Luo Meng was actually the first person to get in touch with "Endless Warrior", and Chen Rui also specially opened up unlimited time-limited authority to him. After the training of this kind of virtual battle, combined with the hard practice of reality, plus star sealing and training With the special effect of the field projection, Luo Meng's current strength has reached the peak of the Devil Emperor. Not only that, Uncle Luo Meng is really proud of the spring breeze now. After unremitting efforts, Delia has acquiesced in the existence of Medilu, which can be said to be both ways. This competition is a rare opportunity to hone, and Luo Meng also wants to find a way to a higher realm by fighting against the rest of the demon world.
The black dragon chick is gone now, but the reason why she participated in the competition was not to break through or something, but to aim at the prize money set by the competition. Those who pass the qualification screening and enter the first round of preliminaries will be rewarded with fifty black crystal coins each; those who enter the semi-finals will be rewarded with one thousand black crystal coins; those who enter the final stage...
The reason for Uncle Diudiu to participate in the competition is simpler. Due to his long contact with the Dragon Clan, Uncle Amoeba has already acquired the bad habit of collecting money. When the prize money was awarded, the decision to participate was made immediately.
Here I have to mention Pagliu, Master Poison Dragon disappeared as early as the last time Augustus came to Dark Moon with a mustache loli. In fact, he was ordered by Augustus to go to Dragon Island to practice. , Uncle Dulong had vowed at the beginning that he would come to participate in the competition and beat Lei Chan to avenge his shame, but I don't know why, but he hasn't appeared yet, which made Miss Betty worry about it for a while.
Today is the last day, and there is still an endless stream of applicants for the competition. Even though the registration office has been opened, there are still several long queues, and the crowd of onlookers is even more crowded.
Registration is very simple, pay a registration fee of one black crystal coin, register some basic information, and then receive a number plate, then a lottery will be drawn randomly, and groups will be arranged for screening.
Chen Rui is still dressed in a mask and cloak, because of "Agulie", this kind of dress is already very popular in the Demon Realm, so no one recognizes the man in the cloak with an "onion head" standing on his shoulder, who is known as the Demon Realm The Grand Master and His Royal Highness the Fallen Angel Queen, but Laura's beauty has attracted many people's attention. Similarly, the pretty long-legged black dragon chick has also attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Rui, Luo La and others were about to line up to sign up, when suddenly there was a commotion from the crowd on the right, and they stepped aside one after another.
I saw a few people walking out of the crowd. The black-haired woman in the lead was wearing a black robe, a cloak, and a veil on her face. Although she couldn't see her face and figure clearly, she could clearly feel the grace And outstanding temperament.
"Isn't that the first court mage Fanta of the Shadow Empire?"
"By the way, that's Van Stern, the new third general of the Shadow Empire, who is said to be the strongest in the army..."
"These people are following that woman... that woman..."
"What is that woman? That must be the Shadow Emperor Catherine!"
"The number one beauty in the devil world, Emperor Catherine is here!"
"..."
Catherine found Chen Rui and the others, and stopped. Behind the veil, her star-like eyes shone brightly, meeting Chen Rui's gaze.
Both of them hid their true faces, but under that kind of gaze, any mask or cover-up is superfluous. In fact, whether it is emotional or physical, the two already know each other quite well. Unfortunately, they are still standing on the opposite side.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Chen Rui spoke first.
Only Catherine could hear the true meaning of this sentence.
One day, I will come to the Shadow Empire with the power to make the whole devil tremble. Even if you are the queen's heir, even if you have ascended the throne, I will snatch you away!
When he said these words in the dark night, at that time, these words were just a ridiculous delusion. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years...
From the wetlands in the dark night to the fifth nirvana, the past scenes were quickly reappeared in her mind. Catherine felt a touch of tenderness in her palms, but her eyes appeared more determined.
"Lei Chan and I have underestimated you."
It's also a pun, not only personal strength, but more things are underestimated. This sentence also shifted the level of discussion from personal affairs to "official affairs", expressing one's own attitude.
Both of these two are people with exquisite thoughts, and the short two-sentence dialogue has already gone through countless detours, and outsiders naturally cannot understand it. However, those onlookers had already guessed the identity of this cloaked man—there could only be one person who could make Emperor Catherine make such an evaluation, the queen husband of the fallen angel, Grandmaster Agulie!
Just as Chen Rui was about to speak, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. At the same time, a faint scorching heat came from his left arm.
In the stands in the distance, a little girl in the arms of a woman suddenly shouted: "Daddy! Daddy!"
