Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Empire

Musta was furious in his heart, and he hated to turn his face directly with Kenya!

If this is still a game, this pig has definitely died ten times!

Musta secretly gambles!

This strong Alpha warrior crouched on his knees, head bowed, and a flame seemed to dance in his eyes!

However, when he raised his head and saw the "comrades-in-arms" who had faintly formed an encirclement around him, as well as the pig's slightly sneering expression, his heart immediately sank!

He immediately realized that he was not in the game, and besides, he probably underestimated the captain from beginning to end!

I'm afraid that when I guessed the "true value" of these people, Canya, who was brainless and loyal to his boss on the surface, already knew everything well!

In order to protect himself, Musta took the initiative to reveal information about the biochemical world, trying to make himself the more important pawn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Captain Kenya, but from the very beginning, he wanted to take him under the knife, ready to make an example of the monkey, firmly grasp the limited rights in his hands, and then exchange other people's sacrifices for his own safety!

Will not be subject to military orders abroad!

Fang Cai didn't have this kind of thought, and Musta was not surprised by the team's loss this time. I only think that Kenya is really incompetent, relying entirely on connections to get to the top, with no ink on the chest, and not even being able to command on the spot, making the most basic mistake of being greedy for merit and making progress, resulting in unnecessary loss of manpower in the team.

However, it now seems that Kenya is incompetent, and it is clearly too "capable"! He deliberately took advantage of a small number of people to "underestimate the enemy's rash advance" and successfully tested the depth of the enemy, and even made use of the lessons learned from the past to strengthen his own voice in the ranks. The most important thing is that even if something happens, such as someone who is really dead now, there is something that can be pushed out to take the blame. If Kenya had been more scheming, it would have been calculated long ago!

Perhaps, this man designed everything from the very beginning!

"Musta, what can you explain for providing false information and causing the innocent death of your comrades!"

Canya brutally convicted Musta, and Musta's heart sank to the bottom.

"I... There is nothing to explain!"

The hero does not suffer immediate losses, although he knows that once he is convicted, it will be very detrimental to the future reversal of the case, but it is inevitable that he will die, Musta still said astringently!

Under the corpse of a fallen black-armored warrior, a mutated beetle crushed in a pool of blood, the dim yellow spots on its back shell shone slightly, and suddenly flickered a few times. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the mutant beetle turned into saprolite and dissolved in a pool of blood.

Dust to dust, many calculations of the Ainotta people have not yet settled the dust, and the rhythm of this world has returned to its original trajectory, returning to silence!

The Continent of Gods and Demons, the capital of the Empire of Light, and the City of Light. It is also known as the City of Light and the City of Glory by the believers of the God of Light.

This giant city that was once as bright as the pearl of the south on the mainland side is now the city gate collapsed, the river has dried up, and the magnificent palace buildings have also fallen one by one, a dilapidated and depressed scene!

The Empire of Light, which once claimed to be able to resist the invasion of demons, is now like a little girl who has torn her skirt and violated countless times in turn, leaving only desolation and bleakness.

The Empire of Light has been destroyed, and the nobles of the empire gathered under the command of the God of Light, no matter how big or small, the natural tree is scattered!

These representatives of the various levels of power in the empire had either fallen in front of Ling Qi or prostrate at his feet.

In just forty-two days, there is no such thing as an Empire of Light in the world.

The three major dukes and five marquis of the empire were all killed in battle, and none of their families were spared!

These top-level nobles are inextricably linked with the Church of Light, and even the nobles themselves are devout disciples of the God of Light.

As for the eight counts who stood in the second echelon of power, three of them surrendered. One of them even had a feud with the Waltz family, and when he saw Ling Qi's army of modified creatures, he didn't hesitate to surrender!

The people in the royal family, except for the exiles, but all those who are captured in a net will be killed!

Emperor Sevro III, together with Pope Ben Yere VI, was hanged from the Holy Oak at the end of King's Road.

At the same time, the Waltz the Great ordered that his corpse should be exposed to the sun for three days, whipped 500 times a day, and then chopped up and fed to the dogs after three days!

Such a cruel order may not be anything in some worlds, but in the Gods and Demons Continent, the gods are above, and in the public punishments throughout the ages, unless it is to treat extremely evil fanatics, I really have never heard of a superior person who is so cruel!

In particular, the king of a nation and the head of the church can enjoy such treatment, which is unprecedented!

Sure enough, on the day Ling Qi gave the order, many people jumped out to oppose it.

It's just that in the face of Ling Qi's insistence, in the face of his invincible army, any dead recommendation is a drizzle.

After three days, the decomposing corpses of the former emperor and pope were really chopped up and fed to the dogs, without any waste!

Naturally, such acts have drawn numerous condemnations.

There were also some Imperial Chaos Party and Bright Sect disciples who were originally going to hibern, and they also jumped out one after another, in a vain attempt to stir up thousands of waves in all walks of life, but they did not bring the slightest trouble to Ling Qi!

In just ten days, the chaos in various places has been calmed down, and many of them are not even ordered by Ling Qi, but by local magnates who take the initiative to attack.

Ling Qi occupied the City of Light, and centered on the capital of the old empire, and sent a total of ten armies to sweep away the remnants and calm the people!

In twenty-six days, the Cult of Light in the empire was uprooted, statues of the God of Light were toppled everywhere, and holy relics in the temple were desecrated.

Especially the statue of the mother goddess of the god of light, for one of them, some good deeds have all kinds of strange "performance art", almost can't even look at Ling Qi directly!

The Cult of Light, once one of the three main gods* churches, was like a glacier that suddenly dissolved, and before you knew it, its power took a sharp turn like an avalanche.

Since Ling Qi raised his army, in just three months, the empire has been completely defeated, and there is not one in ten divine cult forces, only there are scattered remnants outside the empire, and they have almost completely been destroyed!

Although there is an invincible God in this world, this does not mean that those who believe in God are also invincible.

On the contrary, if you don't consider the gods and demons, the average strength level of the gods and demons continent is actually not too high, and it is one grade lower than the martial immortal world.

Ling Qi led the troops from the Earl of Waltz, attacked all the way to the City of Light, swept several nobles along the way, and even divided his troops to attack other important places, which took less than twenty days in total, and the rest was time to clean up the mess!

He completely included the old territory of the entire Bright Empire into his bag, and it only took half a year to stabilize the overall situation of the emerging empire!

Without a steady stream of strong reinforcements from other worlds, this speed would be completely unscientific!

Of course, compared to the Buluo Dynasty back then, this is not very exaggerated.

The rise of the Immortal Dynasty is more decisive and rapid!

It's just that considering that the Buluo Dynasty is, after all, the result of the joint efforts of a large group of "aspirants", and the resonance formed by the joint efforts of tens of millions of players. Today's "Dark Empire" is the work of Count Waltz alone, the power of one family. Such a comparison is a miracle!

It is ironic that the Empire of Light, which once shone brightly, has become the lair of the dark and bloody demon "Doug Waltz"!

When Doug Waltz openly declared that he believed in the Heavenly Demon God of Dao and established the Dark Empire, known as the Demon Domain, the world was in an uproar.

The traditional allies of the God of Light, the God of Courage, the God of Justice, the God of Hope, and many more, have sent their followers to join forces with the Legion of Cathars and even the Knights Templar to fight against Lingqi!

There were also foreign nobles who were ready to move, but were temporarily frightened by the army of the Ling Qi Empire, and they also responded to the call and joined this coalition army!

In the process of Ling Qi's purging of the county, and later attacking the Empire of Light, and exterminating the Cult of Light, in fact, there have always been foreign nobles, churches in other orderly and good camps, and even careerists who have sent troops to harass and attack!

Although Ling Qi rose too fast, it was only four or five months in total from the beginning of the show to the establishment of the regime, and the forces that resisted him did not have time to form a unified front at all, but the endless army was enough to defeat half of the Bright Empire!

This coalition is larger and more closely connected, and throughout history, this level of coalition is rare!

Even, if the Empire of Light has not fallen, it is still in its heyday.

I'm afraid that if you don't count the power of the original Church of Light, this coalition can easily hit the City of Light!

However, can this level of army really defeat the miraculously rising Waltz the Great?

He didn't just destroy the Empire of Light, he destroyed the Church of Light!

Except for the coalition parties themselves, no one is optimistic about this righteous army. Those who are optimistic about them are also through the grapevine, I heard that this coalition army has hidden secret weapons, so the odds are not small!

What can surprise outsiders is that the Waltz the Great's reaction is too calm-

Even if you don't care about those armies, it's still a strong army. And instead of personally supervising the army, the Waltz the Great even sent one of the ten regular legions under his command, and the matter was hastily done!

In terms of numbers alone, that's less than one-thirtieth of the coalition forces, and they want to defend against them!?

What makes the natives feel even more chilled is the outcome of this battle!

Just outside the Dragon Mead Canyon, the first day of the northern danger of the original Empire of Light, the Imperial Wall, the coalition and the devil's army of the Waltz Emperor officially clashed, and the result was a great defeat for the coalition army!

Immediately after, an eerie silence appeared!

Except for the loser, no one is clamoring to crusade against the Demon King.

However, even if the strength shown by the Waltz Emperor is already very strong, it is still some distance away from sweeping the continent.

After all, the real devils in the devil's army, the modified creatures, are actually very limited. Ten large regular legions, less than one-twentieth of them are truly loyal and powerful modified creatures!

Although the arsenal of the biochemical world is constantly building troops twenty-four hours a day, and the power of science and technology has also endowed the laboratory with limited space with almost unlimited creativity, but in the material world, after all, there are all kinds of objective laws to be observed, even if it is a god!

Therefore, on the premise of not exposing himself, Ling Qi's available strength is actually far inferior to the Buluo Dynasty back then, which is a proper problem!

Unfortunately... The name of the Gods and Demons Continent, and even the rise and fall of the Buluo Dynasty back then, all of them nakedly prove one thing-

In the continent of gods and demons, gods and demons stand side by side!

In this indigenous world, you can worship gods and demons, but you can't have no faith at all!

Cultists are not terrible, the most terrible thing is the unbelievers, and even more terrible is the people who preach this kind of argument, which must be the enemy of the gods!

Ling Qi is the enemy of the orderly and good camp, and it seems that he is the public enemy of the mainland, but in fact he is not!

His enemies, limited in scope!

The Church of Light, originally the most terrifying of them, was a behemoth, even after the main trunk fell, it was a hundred-legged insect that died but did not stiffen!

The God of Light is the bearer of the gods of the orderly and good camp, and responds to every call.

But even if they are allies, unless there is hope, how many of them are willing to take out their old money to die?

In fact, even the largest coalition in the last time, the Knights of the Cathar sent by the Church, was not the most elite and core of the kind!

The Church of Light's most elite and core group of 3,000 Light Knights has an average strength that is not inferior to that of modified creatures!

Of course, at the first time, Ling Qi tried every means to exterminate it!

It can only be seen that the indigenous church is not without confidence!

Therefore, even in the battle of Longmid Canyon, Ling Qi's army only defeated the coalition army with a strategy under the command of the superbrainer, rather than completely destroying it. First, I really can't catch it, and secondly, I don't want to mess with everyone for the time being!

At this point, speculators who have tasted the bitter fruits of failure, but have not lost all their money, naturally know how to accept it when they see it.

In addition to those whose absolute camp contradictions are irreconcilable, other unrelated forces, groups, and even countries have removed Doug Waltz's name from the hostile list!

The messenger of the devil, even in the Gods and Demons Continent, will not be welcomed by any country!

In this continent, gods and demons stand side by side, but there is no evil kingdom.

There is no evil in the powerful, and even the executioner with bloody hands knows to put on the cloak of hypocrisy. So, in general, in the human world, the wings of the gods are firmly suppressing the tentacles of demons!

But to fight the devil, most people have to tremble!

Putting on the cloak of justice is very different from letting this idea go deep into the bone marrow!

I have to say that this result is many times better than when the Buluo Dynasty was established!

At least, you don't have to be a public enemy, you don't have to face the crowds of fanatical religious people!

Ling Qi is not driven by countless players!

Obviously, compared to the Immortal Dynasty, the Dark Empire of Lingqi is more likely to be tacitly approved by the indigenous powers!

Although the army under Ling Qi's command, in order to expand the results of the war, they often burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil.

Although after the founding of the country, Ling Qi preached all kinds of arguments, I don't know how many times colder than the Buluo Dynasty, which emphasized the equality of everyone.

But isn't even a dictator more acceptable than a madman who wants to completely overthrow the entire world political and religious order?

"Subjects are lambs, so as long as they are given enough food and grass, they will be grateful to Dade, and they should be grateful to Dade!"

Standing in front of the throne of the former palace chamber, Ling Qi casually toppled the new throne with stone and gold lacquer, making it difficult for the historian who recorded all this to write.

Ling Qi didn't care about the opinions of others at all, he looked down at the former Minister of Finance of the Bright Empire, the Minister of General Affairs and Communications, and some other important officials kneeling in the hall, and said lightly:

"Therefore, from today onwards, the taxes of the empire will be reduced by half, the welfare of the people will be improved, the treatment of officials will also be improved, and they must be fed and warmed, this is the foundation!"

"In addition, reserve fighters who are recruited and sent to training camps in various localities should be recruited in a hurry! If there is not enough locality, they can be transported from other places! If there are not enough from other places, then they should be forcibly recruited from the locality!"

"If there are more than two men in each family, at least one person must be produced!"

"Those who dare to evade military service will be treated as soldiers!"

"Recruitment is complete, to prevent new recruits from becoming deserters!"

"I give their families good food and drink, and give them high salaries, but I don't want them to run away!"

"In my army, all those who die in battle are ten times the old imperial law, training to death is equivalent to death in battle, deserters are immediately hanged, and the whole family is distributed to the mine and reduced to slavery!"

"Speaking of the military..."

"I think the aristocracy has a large army, and it is easy to cause trouble!"

"So, from today onwards, nobles can keep their territories and people, but they can't conscript troops at will!"

"All domestic nobles, according to their rank, if the number of private soldiers exceeds the upper limit and does not report the explanation, the clan will be wiped out. ā€

"All domestic religious groups, non-governmental academies, and organizational forces whose members exceed the upper limit and do not report them shall be punished according to the punishment of a cult!"

"Anyone who has a tendency to incitement or rebellion in the country shall be put to death!"

"Anyone who incites or commits rebellion or commits related practical acts shall be punished by parents, wives and children!"

"Officials at all levels who have false power for personal gain, deceive the king, and reckless will be executed!

"The people of the country, anyone who colludes with the remnants of the Bright Empire, will be executed!

"Anyone who worships the evil god of light shall be put to death!

A series of orders were issued, and this is only part of it, but this part alone is already jaw-dropping.

Light taxation, heavy forced labor, harsh punishments, and thin subordinates.

Such governance may be able to stabilize the situation for a while, but in fact, it makes the silence before the darkness come in advance, which is extremely terrifying, and it is not far from the death of the country!

However, under Ling Qi's high-pressure policy and the suppression of his invincible army, the entire new empire gradually stabilized in this terrifying silence!

No matter how enthusiastic a person is, no matter how heroic he is, once he faces the rape that he can't fight, once he finds that there is still room to survive, or even can live a good life, he will change immediately.

As long as it is a person of flesh and blood, there are always weaknesses, maybe family, maybe relatives and friends, after all, there are a few people who are really willful. In addition, the greatest weakness of human beings, and the greatest strength of human beings, is called the desire to survive!

No one wants to die.

In the process, there must be those who are unwilling to accept and die without repentance.

Naturally, those will be run over by the wheels of history, turned into wreckage, and turned into dust!
