The Lava Castle is the oldest castle in the core territory of the Spock clan. The previous patriarchs have used it as the clan center, and it has not been moved for thousands of years.
This patriarch, Habs, returned to the clan after the duke, and has never built another castle for himself, so the clan center is equivalent to his private residence.
However, at this moment, the once-flying clan chief flags were lowering one by one, and the crown made of burning flames was swept into the brocade. But there is no smoke, no flames of war, and no blood on Lin Li's swords.
The parliamentary soldiers were busy, taking down Spock's clan flags, stacking them neatly, and replacing them with parliamentary flags at important places. On both sides of the streets of the ancient castle, countless blood races either gathered at the street corners, or watched all this silently from the windows behind the doors.
There is no lack of strong people in the crowd, even earls and marquises. But they were all pale and bleak, and they didn't show any intention of resisting. The entire process of occupying and changing the flag was quiet and smooth. The occupying army did not act excessively, and the blood race did not overreact.
Compared with the many wars that have taken place in the Twilight Continent, this place is indeed very different.
On the top floor of the castle, on the terrace with the best view, an elegant man was standing, wearing a demon-style suit with a flawless face.
There was no one on the terrace, and there was no one on the entire top floor. This supreme position belonged only to him.
In the distant sky, the air suddenly fluctuated like water ripples, and a figure stepped out. He stayed in the air for a moment, then stepped out, and then the same fluctuation appeared in the air beside the terrace, and Habs stepped out.
At this moment, the bloody armor on his body has been removed, and he has changed into a black jacket with the emblem of the parliament, but he can still see the inconspicuous dark color on the chest and ribs, which is a wound that has not completely stopped the bleeding until now. Emperor Qin's original force attribute is not as hot as most of the dawn original force, it can hurt the skin texture, and it is even more difficult to get rid of.
Habs landed on the terrace, looking at the Demon Emperor, without saluting, he said indifferently: "It is a great honor for His Majesty the Demon Emperor to take action in this small territory of mine."
Habs saw several Grand Duke fleets blocking outer space, and also saw the flames of war that had not dissipated in the territories of neighboring clans. In contrast, the core territory of Spock was exceptionally calm and orderly. This is not surprising, the Demon Emperor came in person, and under his coercion, even the Duke had no strength to resist.
The Demon Emperor turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Habs, you came quite quickly. I thought you would hesitate a bit."
Habs said indifferently: "This is my clan, my people. If I don't come back, I'm afraid this land will become the grave of all the clansmen, right?"
There is no need for the parliamentary troops to do anything. The Demon Emperor's domain is enough to cover this core territory, and all life in the domain will be strangled in the darkness. If the Demon Emperor is willing, he can even make their souls lost in the darkness forever, unable to return to the river of blood.
The Demon Emperor was noncommittal, and said: "I only know that the blood clan has always believed that the blood of the ancestor is above everything else. As the crowned prince, you should be more important than all the members of Spock's clan combined."
"That's just the opinion of some blood clans. What's the use of being a strong man if you can't protect your descendants?"
The Demon Emperor smiled and said: "However, you should already know that the Queen of the Night can't protect you at this time. You can't change anything when you come back at this time. It seems that there is something in this castle that you feel is more important than your own life." There are more important things!"
Facing the demon emperor's gaze that could penetrate everything, Habs said slowly: "Under your power, don't you know what I have here? If you want to take it away, no one can take it away." Stop it. And I just do what I should do when I think I should be, where I should be."
The Demon Emperor sighed, and said: "I really don't know what to say about you, whether you are worthy of praise or too stupid."
Habs said: "If Medanzuo can be as stupid as me, then you will never make progress in Twilight."
"He thinks he is the smartest one. In fact, several of our maharajas think so too."
"As I said, that's just the opinion of some people."
The Demon Emperor nodded and said, "Then, Mr. Habs, do you know why I started this war?"
Habs stood, and from the eyes of the man opposite, he couldn't see any ups and downs, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Thinking about it now, this Supreme seems to always have such an indifferent appearance, even the rudeness and offense that the superior will never tolerate, to him, he never takes it seriously, so it gives most people a An illusion of warmth and peace.
However, no matter what expression or posture the Demon Emperor has, as long as he speaks something, it may shake the entire Yongye.
Suddenly, Habs had a feeling that perhaps he had always underestimated the Demon Emperor. In other words, the entire Evernight world underestimated him.
The Queen of the Night has always been aloof, from bloodlines, to power, to temperament and appearance, she is so perfect and impeccable, her prestige has crossed races. Compared with her, no matter the Demon Emperor or the Spider Queen, or even the supreme beings from the ancient times, they all paled in comparison.
Perhaps it is precisely because there must be shadows under the bright moon, so people will forget how the Demon Emperor climbed step by step from a young warrior with mediocre aptitude to the supreme position of dominating the entire demon world.
Among the three supreme beings, the Demon Emperor is the most approachable one, and he is the youngest so he is relatively active. No one thought that it was precisely because of his activity that such a far-reaching plan was secretly made.
Hubs had only been away from the Twilight Continent for three days, and according to the information he received from Lynnard before the battle, it can be inferred that the outbreak of war here would not exceed two days. In the blood clan's base camp, they were defeated by such a large-scale blow. There was a reason for Mei Danzuo's betrayal, but it was definitely not the only reason.
The old and new parties within the blood clan have been fighting for thousands of years, and Medanzo also has opponents, and he cannot completely cover the sky with one hand. Inside the council, although the jihad has existed for thousands of years, the all-out war against the vampires is not a jihad. Werewolves and nerubians are not stupid, nor will they take the side of the demons overnight.
This is a delicate and meticulous plan that has been planned for an unknown period of time.
However, the war has already broken out, and the demons have gained a decisive advantage at the very beginning. At this time, the reason for the war can be said to be important or unimportant.
Habs doesn't quite understand why the Demon Emperor spends time talking to him.
The Demon Emperor said: "Actually, Mr. Habs, you don't have to be so hostile to me. This war is not to destroy the blood race."
Habs sneered, "Isn't it for the purpose of destroying the blood race? Medanzo betrayed, and the King of Blue should have fallen. The dark gospel is probably more ominous at this moment. If I guess right, the sleeping ancestor will not wake up." It’s possible to come. As for me, since I’m back, I don’t plan to leave alive. Is a blood clan without the blood of the ancestor still a blood clan?”
The Demon Emperor said patiently: "I am not trying to destroy the blood of the ancestors, but to purify it."
"Purification?" Habs still sneered.
The Demon Emperor said slowly: "Mr. Habs, what do you think about the long river of blood going away?"
Habs frowned. Although he knew that this matter must not be kept secret in front of the Demon Emperor, it still made people feel very uncomfortable to hear him ask clearly. However, for all the true upper echelons of the blood race, the disappearance of the long river of blood is the real serious concern. Compared with it, even the immediate all-out war may not be so important.
"Why did the river of blood go away? Even Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know. Have you found the reason?"
"It's not found, it's just a guess." The Demon Emperor looked up at the void, as if he could penetrate the barriers of the world, saw the long river of blood known as the dark artery, and said: "The long river of blood began to go away, in fact, it began when the human race appeared in the In our sight."
Habs frowned and said: "It's just a coincidence in time, and when Dawn appeared on the power spectrum, there were not only human beings of Dawn."
"Is it a coincidence? When the human race appears in the blood clan's recipe, the imprint of the thirteenth clan will disappear."
"There doesn't seem to be a connection between those two things."
The Demon Emperor smiled and didn't argue too much, but said: "The imprint of the thirteenth clan should be the closest to the source of darkness among the imprints of the long blood river, right? It is purer than your black fire, and the core of the black fire still remains. It looks like blood, but it can completely transform its form."
Habs was stunned. All the ancestors lost their memory of the thirteen clans. He is the new ancestor, and he has no knowledge of this. He was vaguely uneasy, he didn't know if it was because the Demon Emperor had said so many blood clan secrets, or because of what the Demon Emperor was going to say next.
The Demon Emperor didn't let his speculation stay for too long, saying: "Human race is a natural dawn life. When human race appears on the blood clan's recipe, the bloodline is also polluted by the dawn force. The thirteenth clan is precisely because of this perish."
"It's just... guesswork."
"Perhaps. This world is dark, but the real Eternal Night gradually got lost the moment the human race appeared. In the beginning, the existence of the human race was no different from those ordinary animals and plants, so everyone didn't realize what happened .Even when new Forces emerge on the power spectrum, no one connects them."
"For a long time, the force of dawn in our world has been increasing, while the source of darkness has been continuously polluted by the force of dawn, gradually losing its original appearance. Until more than a thousand years ago, the cumulative erosion exceeded the critical point, and the dawn rebelled, and The blood race, as the first asylum of the human race, was actually punished, that is, the long river of blood went away."
Habs looked serious, "You mean, the force of dawn is the reason for the river of blood to go away?"
"That's my guess."
As the Devil Emperor, he must be quite sure that he is willing to express this conjecture. However, after the initial shock, Habs turned calm again, saying: "In any case, I am a blood race. I should have my share in this war."
The Demon Emperor had no intention of doing anything, and said: "Mr. Habs, I don't want the blood race to perish, but just want to restore the purity of the ancient times. Those who are cleansed are polluted, and they cannot be rebelled. All the blood races will do it, and outside of Twilight, the scope of your other continents is very small."
"The war has reached this point, I can't believe your words."
"Actually, the above speculation, you are the only blood family I have informed so far. Do you know how those people in Medanzo were persuaded?"
Habs said coldly: "Didn't it be bought?"
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "If it wasn't for persuasion, would it be so easy to buy?"
Habs unexpectedly replied, "I don't want to know." He raised his hand, and blood flowed from his wrist, and the bloody armor was looming.
The Demon Emperor sighed, and he stood with his hands behind his back, without any movement, but the coercion instantly covered the terrace, and directly pushed back Habs' bloody armed force. "Metadlon, my dear old friend, you are still so stubborn."
Habs slammed his back against the stone wall of the terrace, and his already pale face flashed an abnormal red. Hearing the name that the Demon Emperor said, he froze for a moment before standing up straight. "I'm not an Awakened."
The Demon Emperor said: "Yetong also doesn't seem to be a real awakener. Don't you really think that these are all problems with your holy river?"
Habs did not expect that this matter would be used as evidence by the Demon Emperor, and he was unable to refute it for a while.
"Metadron, apart from you, I don't have any old friends from the adventurer days." The Demon Emperor's voice was very soft, as if he was chatting with his friends in the spring garden, as if Habs was fighting against each other just now. Never existed.
When the Demon Emperor was an adventurer, he was still an ordinary warrior. To say something special, he was also a troubadour. At that time, the elder brother of the Spock twins was said to be mediocre, and the only thing he was famous for was his musical talent. The place where Kane and Metadron met was at the salon of a lady from a neutral territory.
Habs was silent for a while before saying, "Don't call me by that name."
The Demon Emperor said kindly: "Habs, if you don't want to talk about it, then the results of that laboratory on Fenghuo Continent can't make you believe what I said?"
Habs said: "In any case, I never thought of betraying the river of blood."
The Demon Emperor said: "But are you really willing? Obviously the twins have the same talent, and they are brothers connected by blood, but there is only one way for you to go, either one or the other. This is not the worst, The worst thing is that both of you are equally good but bear bad results, it’s not that the two brothers only have one piece of candy, you just give up Samael, but if you want to get the full imprint power, the crowned one must devour his own brother.”
Habs' face became very ugly, and he was unable to control his body due to his injuries and fatigue, shaking.
The Demon Emperor sighed softly, "When I heard that you went to sleep when you were only two hundred years old, I knew you would never wake up again. But looking at the way you are now, you have awakened, which means, Samael I have merged my own power into you."
Hubs said slowly: "Kane, you can always see people's hearts, but..."
For the first time, the Demon Emperor didn't pay attention to politeness, so he interrupted Habs, saying: "The river of blood has returned to the ancient times, and such tragedies will never happen again."
Habs could already guess how the Demon Emperor persuaded those traitors. In fact, no one may know whether all the problems will be solved after the blood river is restored, but the millennium has been silent for too long, and occasionally one or two darlings appear, instead of igniting hope, it makes most people despair.
After a moment of silence, Habs said: "Your rhetoric is indeed enough to convince them. But you and I both know that the reason why the blood flowed away is still just a guess. I don't think these can make me betray."
