Chapter 1232: Evacuate
Chapter 1232: Evacuate
Night fell again.
Blue Glory capital, Fansidian.
The sky that was reflected blood-red during the day had gradually recovered, and the shocking siege that lasted for 2 days and 1 night had also returned to tranquility.
All the corpses had been cleaned up, but the pungent smell of blood was still in the air.
The city wall to the west had become ruins, the land outside the city wall was devastated, and the overall height seemed to have dropped several meters lower, which showed how fierce the previous battle was.
On the ground, there were solidified dark red rocks as if they were cooled lava. There were also many strange transparent objects that looked like some kind of crystals.
Landbis stood on the dilapidated city wall while staring at the dotted lights of the capital, like stars illuminating the darkness.
Almost. I almost could not see these lights; almost, these lights almost disappeared from this world completely.
Fortunately.
The army of the Abyss has been wiped out.
It was total annihilation.
During the battle, in addition to the dragons and the strange army, reinforcements from the Holy Church also came.
2 legions were dispatched this time: 1 was the Divinity Temple Knight Legion of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, led by Parsali who was once known as the Gale Swordmaster. Now Parsali was already a super powerhouse; the other was the pastor legion with light element magicians, led by Miranda, the apprentice of the Holy Lady Eudora.
However, what really changed the situation of the battle was the large number of strange troops of unknown origin.
The Abyss monsters were not like ordinary soldiers. When the general situation was gone or the leader died, their morale would drop or they would even collapse without a fight. Even if there was only the last monster left, they would still rush up without fear of death. This was the most daunting.
One could only know that kind of terrifying thing if he had experienced it himself.
After the reinforcements arrived, the Abyss army launched a more terrifying charge. In the end, they were still defeated by those strange troops. Of course, that army also paid a considerable price.
At this time, Altos walked up to Landbis and whispered a few words.
There was a surprised expression in Landbis’ eyes, and she nodded, “Let him through.”
Soon, a man came to Landbis. He bowed and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“If I remember correctly, I met you once at the Holy Sanctuary. Your name is Lucio, the peripheral steward of the Holy Sanctuary. You seemed to be recommended by Bonnet.”
Lucio was a little surprised, “It’s my honor. I never thought that a little character like me could be remembered by Your Majesty.”
“Little character?” Landbis shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “Sir Lucio is joking. I should be ashamed that there is such an undercover agent from another world under my nose, and yet I don’t know anything about it. Just now when Altos told me that the army that saved the capital actually came from demons, I only had the word ‘shock’ in my mind.”
Lucio really made a great contribution this time. If it wasn’t for his guidance, the alchemy army would not have arrived at the Blue Glory Empire so quickly. On the way, they happened to meet the reinforcements from the Dragon Valley. Gueroas met Chen Rui on Storm Island, and the titan leader Oceanus could be regarded as old acquaintances, so they just joined forces.
“Your Majesty thinks highly of me. I’m indeed a little character who is just following the order of my master to guide this ancient army to reinforce.”
“Your master? Which Royal Majesty Empress of the Demon Realm?” Landbis frowned. Only a huge empire could have such a powerful army. It could be seen from this that the combat power of the Demon Realm far exceeded our estimation. Fortunately, the battle at the Golden Estate did not go on.
Speaking of the topic, Lucio had a look of pride in his eyes as he said, “My master is not the empress of the Demon Realm… Well, let’s put it this way, the 3 empresses are all his wives.”
“Is that Royal Highness ‘Aguile’?” Landbis was taken aback. She was no stranger to some basic information about the Demon Realm, but this time the news was delayed.
After the Golden Estate’s war, the intel department of the Blue Glory Empire got the relevant information immediately, but due to the consistent request of Landbis, the intel department did not report it hastily. Instead, they did repeated verification and finally confirmed ‘Aguile’ was the Prince Arthur who had ‘died’ in the Holy Child canonization hall. (At that time, the witnesses were all heads of state, who were given a gag order by the church)
By the time the confirmed intel appeared on Landbis’ desk, all of Landbis’ energies had been put on the newly-appeared Abyss monsters. With the urgency of the war, Landbis had no time to deal with other affairs at all. After all, it was related to a major event of the survival of the entire Blue Glory Empire.
“Actually, ‘Aguile’ is just a pseudonym. My master is also an old friend of Your Majesty…”
“Old friend?” Landbis suddenly thought of a certain scene at the New Moon Festival as well as the ‘demon’ that Raphael saw through, and a premonition arose in her mind.
“Your Majesty should remember the Holy Grail.”
Lucio’s words confirmed the hypothesis in Landbis’ mind, and she couldn’t help being shocked, “You mean, ‘Aguile’ is… he?”
The only husband of the 3 major empresses of the Demon Realm, the real controller behind the Demon Realm, was actually the man who almost became his husband! The third prince of the Dragon Bright Empire whom she resolutely gave up for power and position!
Landbis felt an inexplicable bitterness. With that man’s strength and character, his marriage with the 3 empresses of the Demon Realm should be more than just a relationship of interest.
Why are those women able to have love while having power?
At the moment when she thought she was going to face death, she was still determined like never before. Now that she had ‘lived’ again, some things that she thought she would let go came back to her heart.
She was an empress. After all, she was a woman too.
But now, those thoughts were meaningless.
Landbis withdrew her thoughts and sighed, “This is a secret, but since you can tell it to me, I believe many people already know it.”
“Master revealed his identity in front of His Majesty Lex of the Dragon Bright Empire in the Golden Estate, preventing the war between the 2 sides.”
When Landbis thought that in the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, Gabriel and Raphael would have to join forces to fight against ‘Arthur’, she couldn’t help but nod, “No wonder. Now that he has the strength… he doesn’t need to be afraid of anyone. Sir Lucio, please convey my sincerest thanks to His Highness for his helping hand.”
Everyone knew about the turmoil in the marriage between ‘Arthur’ and Princess Pearl back then. Lucio knew it, but he didn’t know whether his master and the empress had any unknown entanglements.
Sandro came over, and beside him was a man and a woman, who were the representatives of the Holy Light Mountain’s reinforcements this time, Parsali and Miranda.
Landbis bowed slightly to the 2, “Sir Parsali, Ms. Miranda, thanks for coming.”
Parsali shook his head and let out a long sigh, “Your Majesty’s words made us ashamed. We seriously lacked the estimation of the power of the Abyss, and we really didn’t help much. As long as this sir doesn’t find us hindering, that will be enough.”
The Divinity Temple Knight Legion had a certain restraint attribute on the Abyss, but that number was not enough in comparison to the entire Abyss army. Nonetheless, the pastor legion had played a miraculous effect in healing the wounded soldiers.
Lucio used to be a mercenary with a hard life. He never thought that one day he would talk to sirs like Parsali and Landbis like this, but now he represented Chen Rui instead of himself, so his waist was obviously much stiffer. He just treated Parsali with neither a humble nor arrogant attitude. He smiled, “Sir has overpraised, I was just following orders.”
Landbis nodded, “No matter which side you want to report to, I will remember the favors of the 3 of you. I will definitely repay you in the future.”
“Your Majesty is welcome,” Parsali sighed, “Here is the bad news. While we are fighting the Abyss, 2 other armies of the Abyss have destroyed Kans City and Semit City. Now they have invaded Lubo Empire. According to the intel analysis, the number of the 2 groups of the Abyss army is no less than what we faced just now.”
“What?” Landbis was startled The Abyss army was divided into 3 groups! I thought I had defeated the main force of the Abyss, how ridiculous am I!
Kans City and Semit City were the cities in the northwest of the Blue Glory Empire, and most of the entire Blue Glory Empire had been destroyed.
Miranda said, “In the battle just now, we have seen Your Majesty’s bravery, but now is really not the time to be brave. The Abyss army is far beyond imagination. I suggest that Your Majesty should quickly prepare to evacuate from Fansidian. Not only for yourself but also for the people of the capital.”
Landbis fell silent. She understood that what Parsali said was actually very euphemistic. The battle just now almost destroyed all the fortifications and strength of Fansidian. If there was another attack like that, even with the help of the Demon Realm army, it would be impossible to hold on. However, with her retreat, the entire Blue Glory Empire was basically destroyed.
“The Abyss monsters are too powerful to be countered by a single empire.” Parsali said, “The only solution is to organize the people to retreat to the west of the mainland as soon as possible, then unite all forces to fight the Abyss to the death. As far as I know, the White Cliff is also actively trying to destroy the lair of the Abyss army to fundamentally solve these monsters, but we can no longer wait like this.”
Surprised by Parsali’s choice of words, Landbis asked, “We?”
“This time, the mission of Miranda and I is to protect Your Majesty before completely defeating the Abyss, and we cannot return until the mission is completed.” Parsali smiled awkwardly, “To put it bluntly, we are just the excluded cannon ashes sent to die.”
Landbis had also heard about the open and secret struggles of the Holy Light Mountain’s 3 giant leaders, and she did not ask further. The phrase ‘the empire exists when Your Majesty exists’ that Aldos once said in the hall seemed to appear in her mind. She finally made up her mind, ” Then, let’s evacuate.”
Nightmare Volcano.
In the sky where the ‘rhombus’ was located, several blood-colored lights were projected, illuminating the torrent of flames surging on the earth.
Quilliana sat on a blood-red throne, wearing a white robe, with her eyes slightly closed.
In the lava at the bottom of this hillside, there were endless blood cocoons. Many Abyss breeding nests that had been formed, constantly creating new blood cocoons.
Among them, the 2 huge blood cocoons were the most conspicuous. There were countless crystal-clear Flowers of Abyss condensed near the 2 huge blood cocoons, and many flowers float around along the lava.
Quilliana’s eyes slowly opened, and there was still a crack in the blood red pupils of her right eye.
The huge blood cocoon on the left began to shake, and the outer layer began to peel off layer by layer.
