According to the long-standing rules, the family affairs of the blood clan are jointly handled by the active ancestors, and even the great monarchs who are not ancestors must be authorized by the Queen of the Night. Even if the blood mark is lit like Habs, it will not be until Lilith personally approves the authority of his second-generation ancestor that an old lord like Medanzuo has nothing to say.
There are currently two second-generation ancestors of the blood clan in the active stage. There may be something wrong with Medan Zuo, and Habs has been in charge of the holy war and has close contacts with the Eternal Night Council. Under the current situation, it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe.
The Dark Gospel Howard had woken up not long ago, and his situation was different from that of the King of Blue. Renault himself is coming to the end of his life, but Howard is different. He can wake up on his own, which means that he can maintain free activities for a period of time.
It's just that Howard and Mei Danzuo have always been at odds, and they didn't show up in public this time. If he goes back to sleep, he will definitely become the key target of the demons. Because Howard is the second-generation ancestor who can move at any time, and has the ability to call Lilith, which is a big uncontrollable factor.
When Yetong thought of this, there was an answer to what he hadn't figured out before. These seemingly crazy moves made by the demons on the Twilight Continent really had a great chance of success.
Most of the demons used the excuse of the parliament to investigate the misconduct in the war as a cover, and persuaded the werewolves and nerubians to agree to the action plan. The two races themselves would not object to confiscating the blood pool and destroying the altar of the blood race to weaken the blood race, and the werewolves had suffered heavy losses in the holy war of nearly a hundred years, so they might be more active.
This time, the operations on the Twilight Continent were carried out at multiple points at the same time, and various methods were used to block the nodes that contact the Queen of the Night. With the fall of the King of Blue and the unsteady positions of Medanzuo and Habs, let a few second-generation ancestors who are still sleeping cannot wake up, and finish everything that needs to be done in just a few days. The blood race would never understand what happened.
Even if the Queen of the Night wakes up one day, the overall situation is already settled.
Wanting to understand this section, Yetong's eyes flashed murderous intent, and he wanted to end Xiao Lin Qi's life. But Qianye stopped her, and said to Xiaolin Qi: "What do you mean by the new order you just said?"
Xiao Lin wondered: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor believes that since the Dawn Rebellion, the blood clan has gradually separated from the origin of darkness, and the blood has been polluted, so there has been original sin. The fading of the long river of blood is proof. The blood clan needs to cleanse their original sin Only by returning to the source of darkness can we get a new life."
"Nonsense!" Yetong was furious.
"Yes, yes!" Little Lynch nodded repeatedly.
Qianye was not in the mood to ask any more questions. It was strange to think about such things. Whether Little Lin Qi's betrayal was because he was afraid of the imminent death, or if he really believed in the demon's words, it was difficult to tell from the words alone. Maybe Little Lynch couldn't explain it clearly.
Qianye glanced at Yetong, saw the icy coldness in her eyes, put more force on his hands, and a single blood line crushed little Lynch's blood core.
"You said... don't kill me..."
"Is there? I don't remember." Qianye threw down little Lin Qi's body, jumped out of the window with Yetong, and disappeared into the vast night.
Leaving the castle, Qianye and Yetong ran in the night, crossing mountains and rivers, and heading for the distance.
While running, Qianye suddenly said: "How does the blood clan feel about their relatives? Why is there such a guy as Lynch who joins the demon descendant and does not hesitate to cut off the blood of his sleeping father?"
"This has nothing to do with the blood family. The long-lived family may be weaker, but there is still some. It is more for profit and power, right? This little Lynch, the members of the Lynch family in my impression have no memory of him at all, In other words, his brothers and sisters are much better than him. But now, he is the successor of the Patriarch. In the human race, aren't there many examples of father and son killing each other for the sake of power?"
After hearing Yetong's explanation, Qianye felt better, and asked again: "Am I considered a blood race now? Why do I feel the same as before?"
"Of course you are a blood race, and the part that belongs to the human race is now on the back cover of the Black Book. Renault will not be mistaken about this."
Qianye was a little depressed, and said, "Why is my whole body a vampire?"
"Reynolds said that the human body is too fragile. You were actually dead at that time. Only the physique of our vampires can repair the damage and let you be reborn. In addition, only vampires can use the pool of Qingming."
In fact, Qianye could guess without Yetong's explanation. He sighed and shook his head.
There was a sudden flash of fire in the distance, and immediately a pillar of fire rose into the sky. Under the light of the fire, one could see an old castle burning wildly. The intensity of the fire must not have been formed naturally.
Qianye and Yetong looked at each other and said, "This is already the third castle. Isn't it very far from the first Mora Ling?"
Ye Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Obviously, not every family is willing to surrender."
"What should I do? Do you want to save me?"
Yetong gritted her teeth and said, "No help! Go to the territory of the Byrne clan first!"
Qianye looked at the burning castle in the distance, and said, "That's Monroe's territory."
"I know... I can't help it."
Qianye didn't speak any more, and followed Yetong silently, and continued to rush to the destination.
There is still a long way to go to the core territory of the Byrne clan where the dark gospel Howard is located. While running silently, Ye Tong suddenly said: "Do you think that I am cold-blooded if I don't even save my fellow clansmen?"
Qianye said calmly: "If it is the empire, in this case, it will probably stop and rescue first." The danger on Howard's side is only speculation so far, but the real death in front of him. Only on the big battlefield do you face real trade-offs.
Ye Tong was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "The concept of the immortal race is different from that of the human race. A heavenly king from the human race can at most keep one hundred years safe, but the crowned prince and maharajah of the immortal race can protect the entire race for hundreds of years." Years or even thousands of years. In a long time, the difference in rank is more important than anything else. It can be said that for the fate of the entire blood race, the significance of a dark gospel is greater than the sum of all marquises."
Qianye said: "Okay, let me understand slowly."
Yetong stopped suddenly, Qianye was caught off guard, and almost rushed over, barely stopping beside her.
Yetong looked into his eyes and said, "You... let's go."
"Where are you going?" Qianye was a little puzzled.
Yetong sighed softly, and said: "The neutral land, Yonglu, there are many places to go, but don't go back to the human empire, and don't go back to Twilight."
"how about you?"
"I'm going to get it from Byrne."
"Of course I'm going with you."
Ye Tong shook his head, "No, this is not your war. You are not the real blood race. We will resolve this war between the blood race and the demon race by ourselves. However, you have to promise me that you will not return to the Human Empire no matter what. Over there. At least physically, you are already a blood race now. Those human races may not stab you in the back someday."
Qianye looked serious and asked, "Did you feel something?"
"From the very beginning, we have been on the verge of failure. Along the way, the territories we passed belonged to three big and small clans. Among them, five castles of the Marquis family have changed, three are being destroyed, and two will probably become Trap. I imagine a real battle awaits me in Middle Castle in Dark Gospel."
Qianye said: "Since you are participating in this war, it is also my war. Are you worried that I will be prejudiced against the blood race?"
"In the past, there was so much hatred between you and my people."
Qianye was silent. In fact, there was still one thing in his heart that he didn't say. When he heard the name of Habs before, a piercing pain suddenly appeared in his heart, followed by an irrepressible killing intent.
When Zhang Boqian went to see him on the Fulu battlefield, he only said that Lin Xitang eventually fell into the realm of the Demon Emperor. Afterwards, the Eternal Night Council did not know why it was so secretive about it, and it has not been publicly reported, but there are sporadic news. For example, the military exploits and related trophies were finally attributed to the blood clan, such as Prince Habs, who was in the domain of the Demon Emperor at the time, and Prince Habs who was sitting on the Yongye side of the Battle of Floating Land.
Qianye didn't know if Yetong had noticed his momentary gaffe, and he didn't know if he would be able to hold back if he saw the legendary crown of fire.
After a while, the two stood under the night sky like this, staring at each other silently.
Qianye said slowly: "Werewolf and I also have a lot of hatred. But in Yonglu, I understand that there may not necessarily be incompatible hatred between camps, let alone between races. The battlefield is war , even if there is hatred, it is the hatred between warriors and strong men, and has nothing to do with civilians."
At the end, Qianye said again: "In short, I just won't leave!"
Yetong was dumbfounded by his childishness, and said, "You always refuse to listen to persuasion, so let's go."
The two speeded up, and by the time the sky was about to dawn, they had crossed half of the Twilight Continent and appeared outside Middle Castle.
Although the name of Middel Castle is an ancient castle, its scale is so huge that it looks like a giant fortress, and it can even be said to be a large city.
The ancient castle was built on the top of the peak, and the buildings almost covered half of the mountain. The castle is built towards a gentle hillside, and on the other side is a knife-like cliff. Below it is a 1,000-meter-deep canyon, with black-red magma flowing at the bottom of the valley.
The steaming smell of earth fire is the smell most disgusted by the vampires and other dark races, so the earth fire canyon has become a natural barrier for the castle. Only the top strong can enter the castle from this area, and the army cannot overcome it no matter what. Not even the troops directly under the parliament.
The Byrne clan did not encounter the ancestor fault, so under thousands of years of management, they gradually built Middel Castle into a real fortress. Every tower and every window may emit flames of death.
At this moment, Middel Castle, which appeared in front of Yetong and Qianye, showed the appearance of a real war fortress.
In the ancient castle, it is not clear how many forts there are. Hundreds of streams of fire shoot into the sky at every moment, bombarding the fleet like bee swarms in the air.
The outermost city wall below the ancient castle has fallen, and most of it collapsed. The battle started at the second city wall halfway up the mountain. Flames and explosions will also appear in the area behind the second city wall, indicating that this line of defense is already in jeopardy .
In the distant sky, there are strings of lights, and teams of transport ships are coming. These transport ships are huge in size, run smoothly and quickly, and their unique style makes it easy to tell that they are transport fleets directly under the parliament. Needless to say, these transport ships were not here to support Howard when they came to the battlefield.
Outside the castle, the parliamentary army has set up a temporary barracks, a large amount of supplies piled up like a mountain, and teams of soldiers assembled in the open space, and then they were thrown into the battlefield.
It was only after seeing this scene that Qianye realized the meaning of the four words Total War.
The upper continent, where the Eternal Hall of the Eternal Night Council is located.
The sky is the eternal night sky. The totems of the seven races who pioneered the era hang above the gate. Ten thousand years have not caused any decay, and they are even more permanent than the races they represent.
Any moving creature is as insignificant as a speck of dust in this miraculous place.
Habs stood in the air, looking at the void fortress that should not appear in this place in front of him. To be precise, it was the projection of a fortress-shaped city. The city itself is actually a demiplane, anchored in that direction, so it reveals a huge reflection in this world.
That city is full of war-like buildings with high walls and small windows. With Habs's vision, he can still see fighters of various races standing on the streets and sentry posts in the shadows.
The appearance of the warriors is similar to but different from that of today's dark races. The vampires are taller and fiercer, while the nerubians are slender and full of strength. Those warriors had different postures, but they were still, as if they were frozen in time, and they seemed to be going into battle the next moment.
That is the super weapon of the demons that only exists in legends today, the demiplane of war.
The speaker appeared next to Habs, looking at the magnificent weapon of war ahead with him.
After a while, the speaker said: "His Royal Highness, you can start now. The advance troops have already set off three hours ago. When you arrive at Fenghuo Continent, they should have completed the beheading operation."
Habs said: "Your Majesty Markle, can you tell me the real goal of this operation now? Why such a weapon of war was dispatched. I remember that the giant void sky ghost appeared at the bottom of the Eternal Night Continent, and you also Didn't take it out."
"Void behemoths generally don't directly attack inhabited continents, so why take the risk of provoking it." The speaker said, "You don't worry too much, this time the target of the operation is indeed only those two provinces that are mainly populated by human races."
The speaker thought for a while, and said: "If you want to say why? On the one hand, the troops that the parliament can send over this time are limited, which is almost enough to decapitate." He looked up and saw Habs' expression, smiled and said: "Ah, You don't need to worry, you don't need to fight a law and order war, we don't need the resources and population on that land, so this city of Emma is enough to clean it up."
Habs understood the meaning of the speaker's words, fell silent for a moment, and said, "Even if those two provinces have been separated from Daqin's control in name, but if they do this, the human king will intervene, right? The council means..."
The speaker nodded and said, "Yes, a full-scale war is not ruled out."
Hearing these four words, Habs frowned.
Even with the authorization of the parliament, for him, a prince-level commander, to rashly raise the war level to a national war on the spot is still beyond the limit. But slaughtering the human races in two provinces directly in front of the Great Qin Empire will escalate the war no matter what.
The speaker said: "Actually, when the human king sees the city of Emma, the first thing he considers is not the two provinces separated from the empire, but their own homeland. The city of Emma can carry more than one launch ability."
Habs suddenly understood that the purpose of the parliament dispatching this demiplane of war was to deter the Great Qin Empire. "Your Excellency Markle, I think the parliament should consider which maharaja should be invited to sit in charge."
The speaker said: "His Majesty Kane has ordered that you have full authority over the city of Emma. If the king of the human race must come to see Emma's power, they should be pleasantly surprised."
Habs couldn't help but smiled wryly, "His Majesty the Demon Emperor really thinks highly of me."
Mastering the city of Emma is equivalent to having the ability to fight against the king of heaven. Although Habs is not very worried about whether he can run away in front of the king of the human race, this authority at least proves that the council does not intend to cannon fodder in this mission. drop him.
After watching Habs leave, the speaker gathered his hooded cloak, dropped it to the ground, and walked step by step towards the majestic Eternal Hall.
