On the streets of the imperial capital "Phoenix".

Two hooded and cloak figures walked along the deserted path.

No one suspected that they were Okade's spies. The corpses of ten federal lawbreaker squads were still hanging at the gates.

Snowfall City has been captured, or rather abandoned by the Empire. The three cities of Yangyan, Qingsong, and Fengchao were also besieged, and it was difficult for them to support each other.

A gap has been torn open in the northern wall of the Empire...... However, under the pressure that the army in the middle of the empire had been assembled, the Okadians had to leave thirty percent of the army to maintain the pressure on the three cities of Yangyan, Qingsong, and Fengchao, and the rest quickly began to prepare for the final decisive battle.

In the south, Mr. King's promised march has not moved. In France, the situation did not become as calm over time as the Okadians had envisioned, but the resistance beneath the surface became more and more active. The heroes who were coerced to join Nicholas also experienced the taste of "more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust".

Okade is said to be preparing to mobilize an army of the undead to participate in the battle. With the forces at hand alone, their victory rate is rapidly decreasing. If we continue to consume it on the enemy's territory, I am afraid that even the supply of food and grass will become a problem.

The army of the undead moves slowly in sunlight. And the original capital of Okad, the mobile fortress of Fusha City...... It seems to be still being repaired.

The dark world seems to have ushered in a glimmer of light. The people of the Empire have paid a lot: the streets of the Empire, which used to be lively all year round, now look a little depressed.

Most of the men between the ages of sixteen and forty in the imperial capital were involved in the war.

They understand that this war has reached its final moment.

But only a very small number of people know...... In the passage of time, no matter what the outcome of the war is, the world is no longer suitable for them.

……

Dimi, dressed in disguise, and the girl held hands and passed by a closed shop.

Only Hahn and Victor knew of their return.

[The return of the king,] the girl transmits the sound, [It should be lively.] 】

[Before the war began,] Dimi said that he had secretly come back but had asked for it, and that he would tell everyone that I had returned. 】

After receiving Goth's message relaying the "Eternal Blood", the girl and Dimi already know that the Speaker's primary target is the Legendary Spellcaster.

Until the day your plan is launched, it is safest to meet with the prime minister as little as possible.

According to tradition, every newly succeeded emperor would go to the belly of Phoenix Mountain. Even though Phoenix was not the capital of the Empire for a while, the new emperors did so.

Dimi and the girl walked to the top step by step. That's what Dimi asks for: he wants to get a good impression of the city.

……

Probably to reduce the pressure, the two turned to what happened after the victory.

The girl's hometown...... Earth.

[Actually, we're over there...... The population of the planet is already crowded. The girl sighed.

The "Twin Road Signs" plan is known to only a few people on the cloud. In addition to the girl, the "road marker" of the matter, Dimi was also informed of the cause and effect.

We don't want to be invaders. Sure enough, Dimi looked worried.

The girl said, smiling mischievously, "Don't worry." We are not extraterritorial invaders. Even if we wanted to 'invade', the population of the world was too small to have the ability - technically it was higher on my side. Well, that's up to me and the Eternal Blood. 】

【Hmm......】

[I'll try to negotiate with the other side.] It really doesn't work......]

[Really can't do it? 】

[Mr. Palamedes says that he has collected some knick-knacks in the astral realm that have been discarded by advanced civilizations that have fled.] With the current conditions, he can't make it himself, at most he can modify it a little,] said the girl, "But in time, I will probably be able to establish a secret survival base on the planet near the earth, that is, the stars near my hometown star." However, if I want to accommodate all of us for a long time, I will need to connect with my home people one day. 】

She would never turn her gun on her fellow citizens. But......

The planet is the cradle of intelligent life, and the future lies in the sea of stars and even the multiverse. Bringing together two civilizations, perhaps one day this opportunity will be ushered in.

[No weapons? Dimi was concerned about the more practical question.

[A mechanical weapon, no weapon more powerful than a legendary spell.] If there were, we would have been fearless of Nicholas. 】

The owner of those devices seems to be some fungal civilization in the Star Realm. They are good at building space station bases and raising many mammals, but they don't like powerful weapons, and they don't always rely on equipment to modify the planet's environment.

[Okay,] Dimi muttered, "Are you going to ...... Build a base on the moon in your hometown? Looks like we're going to be moon people. 】

Dimi had heard the girl talk about the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so he knew that there was also a moon on the earth.

The girl said, "Although the back of the moon is also good, I prefer Mars. 】

What is Mars? Dimi looked confused.

……

Dimi knew it from the bottom of his heart.

After traveling to the New World, the city will sooner or later fall into eternal stagnation under the "Time Calamity".

However......

As long as the people are alive.

What did Victoria say? Save people and lose land, and people and land are gained? As long as the people remain, even in the Otherworld, we can re-establish a new City of Glory.

One day, we will rebuild our kingdom.

……

Talking to his sweetheart, Dimi's mood is a lot more relaxed. The girl has been staying with him for the past few days, and she has been making strategic suggestions and sometimes discussing the future.

The two stayed together near the main entrance of the Heavenly Dome Palace for a while, and then quietly entered the palace through a side door.

"Then you will go alone," said the maiden, "and I will not be able to enter your ancestral land." ”

"You can, Victoria," Dimi said, "and in addition to the emperors, legendary mages who are loyal to the royal family and can forge secret weapons will also be allowed to enter there." ”

Hidden in the hollow Phoenix Mountain is the highest secret of the empire's "secret ritual weapon".

"I'm not ...... yet"

"If there is no 'Time Tribulation', your divine and arcane powers will be the same as the secret ritual, and you will reach the realm beyond the blue ocean at the same time." Dimi said.

"There is no ...... in history," the girl frowned slightly.

"Yes," said Dimi, "I checked it out on purpose." In the history of the empire, there were three legendary spellcasters who brought their own descendants who had already achieved legendary spells, but whose spiritual power had not yet reached the advanced level of the blue ocean. ”

The girl was dumbfounded.

"Your loyalty needs not be questioned," Dimi said sternly, "I have given it." ”

"Only then will you speak in the voice of an emperor...... "The girl was helpless," ...... All right. Just listen to you. ”
