When he exited the gray fog space with satisfaction, he took a quick shower to cover up the strange smell on his body, then took out the Iron Demon Mask and the Red Cloud Black Coat from the gray fog and dressed himself neatly.
He swaggered out of the tent and entered the general meeting room.
"You went to fortune-tell again?"
The empress waved her hands in disdain, trying to dispel the smell of the bathroom that permeated the air.
Whenever the smell appeared, she knew that this guy was using black magic again.
Although he said he was disgusted, his body was honest.
The empress straightened her back, expecting the young man to bring her new surprises.
"yes… "
Licinius looked at everyone in the conference room and asked, "What's the situation now?"
The red dragon sat at the end of the long table in a bad mood, poking at the large map on the table, and said coldly: "What else can we do? Although you suggested that His Majesty order Cyrus to guard the Bernier Grand Canyon, this guy has become very cautious after being injured, and he didn't even show up to fight with the Crazy Lion."
Li Xini was stunned: "Are you so cowardly?"
"if not?"
The red dragon snorted coldly, "Cyrus directly ordered a retreat, exposing the mineral town to the enemy without any scruples. If the Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group had not arrived in time, the town would have been massacred."
Li Xini raised his eyebrows. According to the divination of the Hundred-Eyed Evil God, the mineral town could be held out for at least two days, and the Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group and the two brave men from the Holy See would rush to the battlefield one after another.
As expected of an evil god, he has planned everything.
"But the development of the matter is indeed within your expectations. Although the Moonlit Night Kiss Adventure Group was defeated by the Mad Lion Duke and his Lion Legion, they still fought from morning till night."
The Red Dragon said solemnly, "They have a big shield warrior and a big priest. Their endurance is already maxed out. Under their protection, the great wizard fired 72 big fire bombs in a row. Your sister also forcibly seized all the metal equipment of the enemy army, and together with the ore underground, she set off a metal storm and created a violent twisted magnetic field to deal with the Mad Lion Duke."
Licinius listened to the battle between the sorcerers and said, "What a riot! What next?"
"And then? Nothing happened."
Red Dragon said solemnly, "The power of the Mad Lion Duke is beyond everyone's imagination. Although they did succeed in holding him back, the seventy-two fire bombs and the twisted magnetic field were unable to break through the defense."
Li Xini sighed and said, "It is indeed as the intelligence said, with thick skin and tough flesh."
"Yes, it was your sister and the others who had exhausted their magic power and had to retreat to the camp."
The Red Dragon said, "Now the heroes are holding on. Although the two of them haven't reached the fifth level, they have the Holy Relics of the Church. In addition, the Mad Lion Duke has also consumed a lot of magic power. They can probably hold on until tomorrow noon."
The empress was very unhappy listening to this.
"If I hadn't been the emperor, that mad lion wouldn't have lasted more than three minutes in front of me."
She curled her lips: "It's just a sick cat!"
Licinius was secretly shocked that this empress was so powerful.
It seems that after the fourth level, there is a huge gap between each level.
The Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group had five level five members, but they couldn't even defeat a level six member.
"So? How are you going to deal with the Mad Lion Duke? My commander-in-chief."
Red Dragon said unhappily: "If you let him attack, you should know the consequences."
Li Xini shrugged. "Of course I know. So go and challenge me. I want to fight the Mad Lion one-on-one. No one else is allowed to interfere, and no bystanders are allowed."
He paused: "He will definitely agree."
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into silence.
The empress narrowed her eyes. Both sides cheated when rolling the dice and neither could convince the other.
In the end, it was Lord Li Xini who said that if he was not allowed to solve the problem, he would bang his head against the city wall and die.
The empress was initially very unconvinced and said, "Go ahead if you have the ability."
Unexpectedly, this guy didn't say a word and just smashed his head against the city wall, bleeding profusely and spilling his brains.
She was so frightened that her body trembled and she quickly gave in.
I quickly took out the magic potion and gave it to him, and he was saved.
Since then, the empress has completely lost her temper.
It must be said that Lord Licinius was a loyal minister.
He is also an extremely ruthless person.
Even the empress had to agree with his policy and let him go ahead and do it.
However, she never expected that this guy would be so brave!
"Commander-in-chief."
The red dragon widened his eyes and questioned, "Are you crazy?"
"Do I look crazy to you?"
Li Xini shrugged and said, "Just follow my orders. No one will take their own life lightly. Since I want to fight him in a duel, I am absolutely sure that I will win."
The red dragon was confused: "How did you win? You won with your head? That's the Mad Lion Duke!"
If you say you're going to play dirty, I believe you can win.
But it's a one-on-one head-on battle.
A strong man of the level of the Mad Lion Duke is almost immune to all means of black magic.
It was impossible for Licinius to win.
"I've said before, I won't joke with my own life, nor will I joke with the people of this town. You just need to follow my instructions and cover their evacuation while I fight with the Crazy Lion Bus."
Licinius paused and said, "Leave the rest to me."
The empress was silent for a moment: "What help do you need?"
At this moment, she chose to trust her subjects.
After all, Licinius had never let her down.
"Ah, there is indeed a place where I need help."
Li Xini smiled slightly and said seriously, "Please help me prepare enough Red Cloud Black Robe Coats, and the same number of Iron Demon Masks, thank you."
Chapter 8 9 Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water
As night fell, Novia dragged her tired body to the headquarters of the ancient city of Hera.
Several soldiers from the Legion of Glory carried two stretchers.
On one of the stretchers, Moon was lying covered in blood and blackened marks all over his body. It was obvious that he had been beaten up badly. Even his steel shield had a clear fist mark on it.
"The Mad Lion Duke is worthy of his reputation!"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and muttered, "Next time, I'll focus on defense!"
On another stretcher, the high priest Klein had already overdrawn his magic power and fell into a coma.
"I don't understand. I really can't understand how there is anyone in this world who can withstand seventy-two large fire bombs and survive. Novia, is this the strength of the sixth level?" Sphinx murmured behind him.
Novia said coldly: "Maybe!"
At this moment, huge steel cannons roared and galloped past them.
A Holy Light Knight came over and saluted respectfully: "Are you Miss Novia?"
Novia frowned: "What?"
The Holy Light Knight bowed and saluted: "Please come with you and your teammates to the camp. His Majesty has already instructed the priest to wait in the medical tent to treat your injuries."
Novia was stunned.
"His Majesty?"
Sphinx was stunned. As a legendary team of adventurers, they had made countless achievements on the battlefield in the past two years, including this time when they tried their best to fight against a sixth-rank grand duke.
But that is their duty.
Because each of them holds a military rank in the military.
"Yes, please don't feel strange, this is the treatment you deserve."
The Holy Light Knight smiled and said, "Especially Miss Novia. If I remember correctly, you are the sister of Mr. Valerius Licinius, right? As the developer of the Titan Cannon, Mr. Licinius is now highly regarded by His Majesty, and you are his sister. We can't treat you unfairly and make him unhappy."
"Uh..." Novia's pretty face froze. She looked at the huge steel cannons roaring past and fell into deep thought.
She knew that it was this damn thing that instantly flattened the enemy's camp from a distance of 20 kilometers.
No one is left alive...
But she never expected that this was something developed by that young man!
Well, he also invented the clay bomb.
After so many years, it is not surprising that new things are developed.
But this is too exaggerated!
"Novia, is this something your brother developed?" Stephanie was stunned.
"Should be, right?" Novia said softly.
The Knights of Holy Light are His Majesty's guard, and their overall strength is even greater than theirs.
And this time, I can get the respect of the Knights of Holy Light and show off in front of this group of people.
It was because of her brother!
Novia felt her mood inexplicably complicated, and suddenly she understood something.
"No wonder my father sent Licinius to a place like Roma City and asked him to marry into the Xavier family. Is it really like Licinius said, because he was afraid of his talent?"
She narrowed her eyes and murmured to herself, "Then why is father so afraid of Licinius?"

A mineral town outside the Bernier Grand Canyon.
Lista supported the sword with both hands, knelt on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her Holy Light Sword was dimmer than ever before, and the burning light was like a candle in the wind, swaying and about to go out.
Next to her, Alan had fainted and was breathing weakly.
"How could this happen? Why haven't the reinforcements from the Hera Ancient City headquarters arrived yet? And why did Cyrus retreat without a fight? It was like this last time when we faced the monster tide in Roma City, and it's the same this time. Should the civilians be abandoned? Do these people not care about human lives at all?"
Lista was extremely weak, her pretty face was pale and bloodless, and she was trying hard to stand up.
"Brave sister, you should take a rest."
A little girl, with her dog, handed over a piece of black bread and a glass of water: "You have done a lot for us, you don't have to work so hard."
Behind her are her parents and the simple villagers.
They have packed their bags and are ready to retreat.
Lista bit her red lips and glanced at the bread and water handed to her by the little girl. She thought that this kind of food was very important when fleeing, and could even save lives when necessary.
However, the little girl just gave it to herself without any regret.
As a brave warrior, Lista knew very well that these refugees could not escape.
Their speed of escape would never be as fast as the enemy's marching speed.
Lista wanted to protect them, but her magic power had been completely consumed.
When she thought that this group of kind and honest villagers were about to be slaughtered and she was powerless to do anything, a huge hatred surged in her heart. Her body trembled slightly and she spat out blood again.
War, this is war!
Why start a war? How many innocent people will die
Lista gritted her teeth, she hated it so much.
Hated Cyrus for doing nothing.
What's more, I hate the one who started the war, was slow to come to support, and treated the refugees as abandoned children.
