Lucifer, you ...... How dare you turn your back on the glory of the Lord?! ”

Michael immediately discovered Lucifer, whose six wings had degenerated into pitch black, and the Tao of disbelief.

"Michael, the Lord has fallen, how can you turn your back on it? Why, do you want to inherit the Light of the Lord and become the new Lord of the Dawn? Lucifer smiled coldly and sneered.

At this moment, he is not afraid of Michael at all, after all, his strength has not been damaged at all, and Michael has transformed from a powerful divine power to a medium divine power because of the fall of the Lord of the Dawn.

Hearing Lucifer's fearless words, Michael was furious. As the chief warrior of the Angel Legion and the most powerful of the Seraphs, Michael usually looked down on Lucifer at all.

Now that Lucifer dared to rebel against the Lord, he wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible!

But as the so-called phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, he is now a god who has fallen by one level, and he is no longer an opponent of Lucifer who relies on his fall to maintain a strong force, so he needs help.

Thinking so, Michael looked at Gabriel, who was blind on the side, and said angrily: "Gabriel, Lucifer has betrayed my master, and we are the servants of the master, and we have the obligation to eradicate traitors for the Lord!" ”

Hearing this, Gabriel did not respond, but silently flapped the four wings behind him, stepped back a distance, and signaled that he would not participate.

At this moment, Michael's face was ugly. He didn't expect that Gabriel, who originally believed in the Lord of the Dawn, would be like this!

"Gabriel, don't forget that 17,000 years ago, it was our Lord who freed you from the plagues and wars of the mortal world and made you an angel!" Michael's eyes erupted as he looked at Gabriel, who was riding on the wall, and said angrily.

"Michael, I have fought for him for 10,000 years, and I have already paid it off. Besides, my lord has fallen, so why should you cling to it? ”

Gabriel's voice was soft and firm, so that she would not fight her former colleagues to the death for the sake of a fallen master.

In particular, Lucifer still has great divine powers, and is a six-winged fallen angel. And she and Michael have degenerated into four-winged angels, and they are still badly injured and cannot recover, how can they be Lucifer's opponents?

Seeing that Gabriel still refused to fight, even if Michael was angry, there was nothing he could do. On the contrary, he still feels a strong crisis now.

After all, he was shouting and killing in front of Lucifer, and now that he was alone, could Lucifer let him go?

Sure enough, Lucifer sneered, and said with pleasure in his sarcastic voice: "Michael, loyalty is commendable, but foolish loyalty can only make people disgusted. It's been a long time since I saw that you didn't like the eyes, and today I will use your divine blood to pay tribute to my fallen godhead! ”

Before the words fell, the six pitch-black wings behind Lucifer burst out with a burst of intense black light, and then his body moved, and the next moment, the sword in his hand was fiercely pierced into Michael's chest!

"Ahh

The archangel let out an unwilling roar, and at this moment, he was eroded by Lucifer's fallen divine power, and he was on the verge of death.

"Road...... Lucifer, you are willing to fall, and you will ...... Destroy! ”

Michael spit out such a sentence with difficulty, and the only remaining light wing behind him gradually dissipated, and his divine blood was constantly devoured by Lucifer's divine sword, and the entire divine body began to burn!

"It's disgusting to have to curse before you die."

Lucifer drew his sword and kicked Michael out of the thousands of miles with one kick, and the archangel of the Dawn God System turned into a golden burning meteor, not knowing where it fell.

As a result, in this void near the chasm of the abyss, only Lucifer and Gabriel remained.

Lucifer did not have any hostility towards this female angel who was known for her kindness and gentleness in the kingdom of God, on the contrary, he had a faint admiration for Gabriel for tens of thousands of years.

So, Lucifer put away the fallen divine sword stained with divine blood, and said solemnly: "Gabriel, the Lord of the Dawn has fallen, and with what we have done over the years, neither the terrifyingly powerful legend of the human world nor the gods can tolerate us. So I'm going to plunge into the abyss, would you like to...... Walk with me? ”

Hearing this, Gabriel hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "No, you killed Michael, I can't face you who killed my compatriots." May you survive in the abyss, Lucifer. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Gabriel vibrated his wings behind him and chased after the meteor that Michael's remains had turned into.

Although she had always been unhappy with the domineering Michael, now that Michael was dead, she had a little pity.

Gathering the remains for Michael and building a plausible tomb was the only thing she could do......

"Gabriel!"

Seeing Gabriel gone, Lucifer shouted, but finally sighed. Since she was unwilling to go with him, he naturally would not force it.

I only hope that she can also be in this dangerous world of gods and goddesses, and not fall.

With a wry smile, Lucifer shook his head, flapped his pitch-black six wings, and flew in the direction of the bottomless abyss.

With his strength, even in the abyss where the strong are like clouds, it is enough to occupy a layer of the abyss plane and be called the Abyss King!

……

Ikadivar Great. Lu, the Dawn Empire, the imperial capital.

As the largest city in the entire plane, the prosperity of the imperial capital does not seem to have been greatly affected by the war.

What's more, with the withdrawal of the Temple of Dawn from the imperial capital, Prince Oberon's 80,000 rebels were suppressed, and the 200,000 royal guards led by Rundstedt were also disarmed by the Knights of the Thorn Flower and the Court Mage Regiment led by the eldest princess of the empire, Helen...... A series of big or small victories belonging to the empire made the public opinion of the upper and lower echelons of the imperial capital, which was originally a little depressed and desperate, a little more optimistic.

It's just that these optimisms are blind. The real magnates in the empire already know that the empire at this moment is simply in danger.

Three months ago, the monstrous rebellion led by Prince Oberon and instigated by Imperial Marshal Rundstet, supported by the Temple, had been suppressed, but that battle had also consumed a lot of the Empire's foundation.

More than half of the Knights of the Thorn Flower were killed and wounded, the court warrior regiment was almost disabled, and even the court mage regiment, which had been loyal to the royal family for tens of thousands of years and was as strong as a cloud, also died more than 300 people in the battle with the temple elder group and ascetics.

You must know that the entire court mage corps, including the magic apprentices, is only two thousand, and the official mages are five or six hundred at most.

Now that the official mages have been lost in half, there are many high-level mages and even great mages among the dead, forcing the royal family to only use those weak magic apprentices, and even issued a conquest order to the entire empire for the first time. Confused, dozens of idle high-level magicians were recruited to serve the empire.

However, even so, it was far from enough to replenish the losses of the empire, but made everyone see the weakness of the empire.

Because of this, now the rebellion in the imperial capital has subsided, but inside and around the empire, there are many wars and disasters!

First of all, Henri Luxemburg, the Marquis of the southern border who supported Prince Oberon, led 50,000 private troops, and rebelled in his family fief Luxembourg County, taking advantage of the empire's lack of time to react, and lured hundreds of imperial officials and fiefdom nobles along the way, and soon swept through half of the southern border and occupied the three major provinces.

Not only that, the Marquis of Luxembourg also collected the private armies of various nobles, recruited the regular army of the empire, and vigorously recruited local civilians and mercenaries, and soon had more than 300,000 troops, known as one million, and its momentum was enough to shake the imperial capital from tens of thousands of miles.

In the 10,000-year history of the empire, such a rebellion can only be compared to the "War of the Seven Kings" 3,000 years ago and the "Year of Calamity" 60 years ago.

However, the Marquis of Luxembourg was not alone. On the contrary, his rebellion instantly ripped off the last fig leaf of the empire, allowing everyone to discover - it turned out that the power of the empire, the power of the royal family, had actually weakened to this point!!

So, soon, careerists everywhere began to rebel. Most of them are fiefdom nobles who are dissatisfied with the royal family, a small number of them are civilians supported by the temple, and even some large-scale mercenary groups also take this opportunity to seize the city and kill officials to rebel.

Fortunately, the remnants of the royal family are still there, and the royalists and new nobles who support the royal family are equally strong. Lu's only legendary mage, the astral traveler Karazan, led by supporting the royal family to suppress the rebellion, which saved most of the imperial provinces and did not allow the rebellion to spread directly to the imperial capital plains and central under the control of the royal family. Beg. Eight. Province.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the rebellion within the empire also gives the temple and the surrounding countries a great opportunity.

So, first of all, the headquarters of the temple located at the junction of the three kingdoms, the son of the god of Hailar Mountain, ordered that the entire Great . The land countries gathered 500,000 Radiant Knights of the Temple, tens of thousands of priests, hundreds of magistrates and ascetics, and launched a holy war against the royal family of the Dawn Empire!

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen countries attached to the temple, such as the Teutonic Kingdom, the Hairule Kingdom, and the Principality of Oxen, declared war on the Dawn Empire at the same time, and suddenly the border of the empire was full of wars, several important passes were breached, and five or six imperial legions were defeated or even annihilated.

Then, even the great powers that had not been infiltrated by the Temple, such as the Aurora Kingdom and the self-proclaimed Empire of Rus, took advantage of the opportunity to loot and annex several pieces of the Empire's territory.

And in the northern ice field, the orcs who had just suffered a natural disaster were not willing to be lonely, and the orc king Norton sensed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and directly led a million orcs south, vowing to occupy the rich plains of mankind!

If it weren't for the 400,000 troops of the Northern Army and the Northwest Army led by Saint John Douglas, I am afraid that the orc clan would have drunk the Malai River and peeked into the imperial capital.

Fortunately, the Semitic tribe, also in the north, has been unlucky to be affected by the war between Zhou Chen and the Seraphims, and millions of people have basically become extinct.

Otherwise, with the characteristics of all the Semitic people being soldiers, and they are all cavalry, perhaps now, a cavalry of 300,000 people has gone south.

Originally, for most people in the Dawn Empire, whether they were nobles or commoners, they had never regarded those small countries and alien races outside the empire as a threat.

After all, the empire has stood tall in the Great of Ikadiva. Ten thousand years on land, the vastness of the land, the prosperity of the population, and the number of strong men far exceed that of any enemy.

However, such a reality makes many smart people understand that if no miracle happens, the life of the empire has entered the countdown.

The only remaining optimism is nothing more than the self-amusement of the low-class civilians.

On this day, the imperial capital was still noisy and prosperous, and the rebellion around it had not affected it, at least on the surface.

However, when it was approaching dusk and all the city gates were about to be closed, here at the south gate of the imperial capital, the reorganized royal guards suddenly became nervous.

Because, the magic lookout post on the city wall had already seen dust flying like a sandstorm from the main road dozens of miles away from the imperial capital.

The mages and veterans of the army, who were experienced in combat, immediately understood - this was the cavalry of the brigade approaching!

And, looking at the scale of the sand, this cavalry had at least five thousand people!

A cavalry of this magnitude stormed the city gates, and this was still necessary?

The royal guards defending the city immediately raised the alarm, and thousands of city guard soldiers and mages rushed to the city walls, ready to prepare all kinds of bed crossbows, magic cannons, and a lot of war magic, and wait for the battle!

However, when this group of cavalry ran. When they got closer, the defenders realized that it was their own army.

To be precise, this knight group is the Knights of the Stars established by Princess Helen two months ago!

This knight order, the source of soldiers are all selected from the major armies in the Imperial Capital Plain, and even ordinary small aristocratic families and mercenary groups, with excellent equipment, strict training, and high treatment, not inferior to the Thorn Flower Knights.

It's just that this cavalry regiment has just been established after all, and the strength of the knights is limited, and the cooperation has not reached the level of tacit understanding, so the strength of this cavalry is far inferior to the Thorn Flower Knights.

It's just that everyone knows that Princess Helen already has high hopes for this knight order.

According to the grapevine, the name of the "stars" of this knight group actually represents a lover of Princess Helen, a saint-level powerhouse with extraordinary strength!

It's a pity, it is said that the saint-level powerhouse she loves deeply has already been in the previous rebellion in the imperial capital, in order to protect her, after the gate of the heavenly realm controlled by the temple was opened, he drew his sword in anger and killed the gods against the sky, and was finally besieged and sacrificed by countless angels......

This poignant tale was widely circulated in the imperial capital, bringing sentimental women to tears and strong and competitive men to admire.

"Get out of the way!"

Seeing the arrival of the Knights of the Stars, especially the leader of Princess Helen, who was dressed in golden armor and had the mark of a thorn flower on her chest, all the guards immediately gave way to the city gate and knelt down on one knee on both sides of the city wall.

And surprisingly, Princess Helen, who has always been kind and loving to the people, did not greet any of the guards soldiers, and even a guard commander who came in a hurry could not talk, and could only watch the beautiful Princess Helen ride past with the cavalry behind her.

This made many officers in the Guards feel worried, could something big happen?

After all, such a tense march is rare even in the army, let alone in a prosperous area like the imperial capital?
