Chapter 12: The Eve of the Great War
"Bump!" A flame bomb slammed forward, but instead of flying far away and smashing on the ground like before, it exploded, but was pinched in the hand of Riel, who had just entered the door, and then extinguished with a muffled sound.
"Huh? Father? Although in this world, according to her identity, Prince Riel should be a father, Tong Xi still likes to call her father.
"Good daughter, shall we rest for a while?" Despite what he said, Riel had already taken a few steps over and picked up his daughter with one hand.
Tong Xi didn't struggle, on the contrary, he liked his father's "domineering" care very much.
Dean Owen on the side just silently watched the backs of the two walking away, and did not follow.
"Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight, this is not in a hurry, Xiaoxi, you should go to play more and walk more...... Besides, even if Xiaoxi doesn't cultivate, Dad can support you......"
"But...... I have a reason to get stronger......"
"What reason?"
"Don't tell you ......"
……
With the memories of his previous life, coupled with the cultivation experience left by that ancestor, Tong Xi effortlessly reached the Holy Rank Demon Master at the age of fifteen, and the next year, that is, at the age of sixteen, he broke through to the so-called God Level.
Finally, before the Ryan Empire launched an attack, he used the remaining two years to consolidate and reach the so-called god-level peak.
After truly reaching such a realm, Tong Xi understood.
is also at the peak of the god level, even if there is a deviation in strength, it will not be too bad, unless it is like her in the previous life, close to the critical point that she has just broken through, strictly speaking, it is not considered a breakthrough.
Otherwise, with Tong Xi's strength now, he may be able to defeat the prince of Tiger, who is also a god, but he can't kill him, and both sides can't help each other.
Of course, the end of the day refers to a situation in which both sides intend to fight desperately. After all, the attack, defense, and movement speed of both sides are not much different, if one side has no intention of fighting, the other side has no way to take him, and if he consumes too much strength to speed up the chase, he will be caught off guard by the other party suddenly reversed......
Generally speaking, when two countries are unable to help each other, a balance will be formed at this time, so as to achieve the effect of peace. After all, no country will fight with an opponent of equal strength to lose both sides and then let others benefit.
Of course, this is common sense......
But at this time, the Lane Empire is unreasonable, knowing that in terms of national strength, at most it is only slightly superior, and in terms of high-end power, the Prince of Tiger is on par with Tong Xi, but the Prince of Tiger is so unreasonable and led the army to kill all the way.
It is said that the prince of Taggo once stood alone on the city wall and pointed out the country, and he said a bold sentence at that time that is still fresh in the memory of the world.
"The greatest pleasure of a man is to subdue the rebels, to defeat the enemy, to take all that he has, to ride his horse, and to take his beautiful wives and concubines." Prince Taggo in silver armor and red cloak is in high spirits.
……
Xiaoxi ...... You're a genius, but you've surpassed the Holy Rank at such a young age, if you were given a little more time......"
"Actually, according to your grandfather's intentions, let your father succeed to the throne, after all, your father has a high talent for martial arts since he was a child, but your father refuses to live or die."
"Why do you want such high martial arts skills to be an emperor? Fighting, that's a courtier's business! ”
"Well, people always like to nag when they get old...... Xiaoxi should think I'm verbose......"
"This is the founder of our country, Austin I left, my father, Austin V confessed, only when the country is facing life and death, can we let the strongest in the Austin family enter."
"Originally...... Your father is the best candidate......"
"This is something that we have passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that as long as we follow the wishes of the Emperor, then the secrets in this room can ensure that our Austin family will never die!"
……
In the imperial study in the palace, every word and demeanor of the emperor's uncle, including the wind blade magic that cut his finger, and the posture of opening the mechanism were exactly the same as in Tong Xi's memory.
Walking down the long staircase, there was the ordinary door.
On the door, "Austin Forever!" "The five Chinese characters are still dancing with dragons and phoenixes.
Behind the door was a very small room, and in the center of the room was a table wrapped in a bright yellow tablecloth.
On the table, a book with no text on the red cover stands out.
Tong Xi gently opened the red book of "Cultivation Experience" left by his ancestors, and every word in it did not deviate from his memory.
Including the magic spell that was triggered after putting down the book at the end, it was exactly the same as in the memory.
As the founding emperor, there is a thick record of his biography and quotations.
Tong Xi suddenly remembered a sentence from the pile of famous sayings left by the ancestor of the founding emperor - there are no perfect things or schemes in time, and there is no absolutely powerful power, only more powerful power. All we can do is change and progress again and again.
……
Walking out of the palace, I slowly walked in the direction of home, that is, the direction of the prince's palace.
Walking through the streets of the imperial capital of the Austin Empire, Tong Xi has lived in this city for two lifetimes, and it can be said that he is very familiar.
Because the army of the Lane Empire attacked immediately, although there was a saying that the two armies would not hurt civilians when they fought, but at this time, the streets of the imperial capital were not as lively as usual, and all the shops on the streets were closed.
Also...... It is said that it will not hurt civilians, but the war is about to start, and the battlefield is close by, who can do it as usual......
Passing by the empty Austin Magic Academy, the academy was empty, and the teachers in the school were also the national defense forces of the Austin Empire, of course, they joined the army, and the students who were willing to stay also joined the army, and those students who were unwilling to work for the Austin Empire in neighboring countries had already left.
After all, even though the teachers in the academy are teaching martial arts and magic, they are also instilling the concept of loyal ministers of the Austin Empire, but after all, foreign students are still outsiders, and only some of them can successfully win over the downstairs, and some of them are still unwilling to work for the Austin Empire.
Looking at the empty street, Tong Xi only sighed slightly, and then quickened his pace and walked in the direction of home.
Time is running out...... The attack is about to reach ......
Because...... There is no third god in this world, and if there were, the situation would not be like this......
This battle between god-level people either ends with both sides being helpless against each other, or ending with the same end.
Tong Xi wanted to leave the last bit of time to his father.
