For the current Darkwing Empire, the war in the city of Laiming is by far the most important thing and the most concerned thing for the people.

When almost every Imperial person greets an acquaintance, he will inadvertently ask:

"Do you think our army can defeat those hateful demons?"

It was in the midst of this subtle general mood mixed with anxiety and worry that a shocking reversal was brewing in the city of Laiming.

In the palace of the Dream Imperial City, the empress is sitting majestically on the throne, discussing the matter of fighting the demons with the ministers below.

At this time, she looked very good, her previously slightly haggard appearance seemed to be secretly hiding, and the temperament of the lord of a country was vividly displayed.

"According to the news from the front, the main force of the royal army led by Prince Assis has suppressed the demon legion and recovered half of the city." Minister Zhang Ming lowered his head and said calmly.

The empress looked at his emaciated face that had been tossed by too many affairs, and said slowly: "For your younger brother, the imperial general Zhang Yue. Darkwing's misfortune, I have mercy. ”

Zhang Ming's body trembled slightly, leaned down, and said with a little sadness: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern!"

After a long time, the court meeting ended, and the empress returned to the palace, but found a very unhappy uninvited guest.

"Avisha? How did you end up here? The Empress asked in surprise, as her daughter sat on the bed, her face flushed with anger, and her cheeks bulged.

"Yasha is so bad! She won't let me see you! Avisha said with great dissatisfaction.

“...... She was thinking of you and me, too, and I was sick at the time, and you must not be worried about me when you came to see me......" The Empress explained rather unnaturally, "and ......"

The Empress looked in amazement as she suddenly hugged her daughter, and her whispers rang out in her ears.

"Do you know how worried I am about you...... You are my only mother, and the only thing I can rely on after my eldest brother disappears is my aunt and mother......"

Hearing her daughter's slightly weeping words, the Empress's eyes slowly moistened, and she slowly pushed Avissa away, staring at her with a pair of beautiful black eyes.

"Then you have to promise me that you must take care of yourself, and then you are not allowed to speak ill of your aunt again!" The Empress said reproachfully, poking the tip of Avitha's nose.

"Of course I do......" Avisha couldn't help but laugh as she felt the tip of her nose itch, and her mother laughed with her, hiding the tears from her eyes.

After a few more words to Avisha, the Empress sent her out of the palace, looking at her back as if she had lost her mind.

"I let her in on purpose...... You can't blame me, do you? Yasha walked slowly from behind her, standing side by side with the Empress.

"No...... I hope you can forgive her for being rude to you before. The Empress said lightly.

"Come on in, you need to use the condensation magic again now." Yasha took her sister's hand and returned to the dormitory with her.

Unbeknownst to her, this might be the last time she and her mother would ever meet.

The Empress's mental state is much better than before, but she simply wants to use full energy to get the empire through this difficulty, which is what she hopes to do in the end.

......

In the sky outside the city of Lymium, Prince Assis gasped, beads of sweat the size of beans constantly dripping down his forehead.

The Moriel on the other side looked at him expressionlessly, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about Yasis and expose everything about him.

"Who the hell are you?" Assis exclaimed, the enchanted voice unusually clear, "Do you know what happens when you go against the Empire?" ”

Morlie was silent for a while, then stretched out his left hand, only to see that his palm was filled with dark purple energy like fireworks.

In Prince Yassi's puzzled eyes, the dark purple energy gradually became thicker, and a dark purple ball of light the size of a lead ball appeared in his hand.

The ball of light gradually lengthened, stretched, and finally turned into a human form.

As the man's facial features gradually became clearer, Yassi's eyes couldn't help but widen in great surprise.

It's not ...... Prince Reed?!

At this moment, Reed was held by the collar by Moriel, his eyes were blank, and his expression was strange, and after seeing Assis opposite, he actually showed an extremely strange smile.

"You...... How can it be?! "Assis was completely unable to keep his composure at the moment, and this mysterious man could insult and desecrate the noble prince in such a way.

"That's what it is...... What will happen to you in the future? You should be more worried about yourself than what happened to me. Moriel said emotionlessly.

Once again, Morry's palm glowed with a dark purple light, and Reed gradually disappeared under this light.

"Now, we can begin ......" After saying this, Moriel's figure suddenly flashed and disappeared in front of Assius.

Yasis hurriedly used the barrier to protect himself again, and as soon as the barrier was formed, the demon column instantly appeared behind him and smashed his fist into the golden barrier.

Without warning, the barrier was shattered in an instant, and the anxious Assis hurriedly summoned the ball of light again to hit the demon lie, but he dodged it all.

Moriel's fist slammed into Assis's chest, who instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the wurm beneath him let out a wail.

The demon stretched out his left arm, and the dark purple energy gradually condensed, turning into a huge blade, and he stabbed it into the back of the wurm.

The poor wurm couldn't even let out another wail, and dark purple cracks spread all over its body, and soon the wurm was completely annihilated in midair.

Morlie easily grabbed the half-dead Assis and thrust a small ball of purple light into his body.

After doing this, the figures of Morel and Yasis disappeared into the sky in an instant, as if nothing had happened.

The soldiers who were still besieging the city were unaware of such a major change, and they were about to destroy all the demons. Thus retaking the city.

Vidis had arrived in the eastern part of the city, and he, accompanied by his lieutenant, scanned the places that had been occupied by the human army.

"What a bunch of capable fellows...... Vidis muttered, and each of the more representative ruins was planted with the flag of the Empire.

"General, are we going to the front line to supervise the battle?" The adjutant beside him asked.

Vidis didn't speak, just looked back, seemingly intently staring at the sky over there.

After a long time, he replied: "No need, the end of this war is already doomed, and I really have to thank Marshal Yasis for his wise leadership." ”

The adjutant's face showed a look of excitement, and as a fanatical soldier, he was most happy to see his army defeat the enemy and retake his homeland.

Vides walked out of the city, and just as he was about to walk out of the gates, a seemingly inconspicuous plant caught his eye.

"Shadow Flower...... "Looking at the Shadow Flower growing in the cracks in the badly damaged wall, Vidis seemed to remember something.

He carefully plucked the flower, which was full of dark energy, kept it, and left with the lieutenant.

......

In the center of the city of Leiming, Gareth stood on the fortress with his back to the black hole that had been dyed red.

And the phantom of the scorching night there was wrapped in a strong red light, leaving only a pair of huge and shocking red light wings.

Gareth looked at the phantom, showing a look of great admiration and even fanaticism, and bowed three times with great solemnity.

A black light suddenly appeared behind him, and Gareth, who was aware of it, slowly turned his head and looked at the Moriel who was carrying Yasis like a chicken.

"I didn't think you still had some skills." Gareth looked at the unconscious Assis, "But this old thing doesn't seem to be in good shape." ”

"It'll be fine soon." Morel placed Assis on the ground, making him lie flat and spread his limbs wide.

Gareth walked underneath the phantom, knelt on one knee and stretched out his hands, and the phantom in the red light gradually separated from it into a small red ball of light.

The ball of light landed on Gareth's hand, and a black flame flashed, and the ball of light vanished, revealing a delicate red dagger.

Gareth, who had been given the dagger, walked up to Assis and sat down cross-legged, while Morel stood aside.

"I think you might need to wait a little longer." Morel said, looking at the land beneath the fortress.

Gareth closed his eyes and made no sound, as if he were asleep.

......

The royal army's offensive had reached its final stage, with armies pincer-forming the last remaining city center.

"Great! We're finally going to make it!! One soldier shouted happily.

The others also cheered, as if celebrating the hard-won victory in advance.

However, at this moment, a scream that was extremely inconsistent with the status quo came. The soldiers who heard it turned their heads one after another.

The red mist, which had already dissipated, began to spread again, and the people who were shrouded in it seemed to have disappeared inside.

Everyone looked stunned, not knowing what was going on, knowing that the red mist was approaching them, and a strong sense of fear arose in their hearts.

The soldiers tried to escape, but they couldn't move at all, and could only watch the approaching red mist.

A scarlet orb floated in the red mist, shimmering with a shivering red light, and as it slowly approached, blood began to pour out of the soldiers' bodies and fly towards the red orb.

The red mist completely covered the place, and no one survived, but this was only the beginning.

Such a red mist appeared in almost all places where humans gathered, slaughtering people who did not know it.
