Chapter 256: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity (Addition)
Next.
Temoa Empire, the capital.
For most people, last night was just a night behind closed doors.
But for the people of the capital of the Temoya Empire, it was a night of blood and sorrow.
Two-thirds of the entire imperial capital was in a state of chaos, but the preliminary estimate in the early morning that the number of dead and wounded had exceeded 50,000... And these so-called "casualties" are basically deaths.
The streets were filled with grief and weeping, and blood and frost were sprinkled on the ground, all of which reminded people of the tragedy that had happened last night.
"This—is this the little turmoil you told me about?"
His Royal Highness, who had made an agreement with the reincarnation, was standing at the gate of the palace that was almost in ruins, his face full of astonishment.
The prince's luck was good, before he was rushed by a large number of raging demon knights, he was taken out of the danger area by the three-person action team of the Viper Squad Imperial Capital, and did not rush back until it was dark.
And in front of the prince's eyes was the royal palace, which was almost in ruins.
"It's a bit out of control, but anyway, at least for now, you can ascend the throne at any time and become the new Emperor of Temoa. ”
The wise man stood beside the soon-to-be emperor with a blank face, munching on a piece of chocolate and answering him casually.
From last night to now, after running all night and hungry all night, the wise man must eat something to replenish his energy, and he has to deduce the next layout.
His Royal Highness the Prince looks a little similar to the "Lion Emperor", but he is much younger, only forty or fifty years old.
At this time, the prince's face was full of anger, and he grabbed the wise man by the collar and shouted in a low voice: "You bastards! What the hell have you done? Half of the emperor has been destroyed, do you know? All the court mages and guards are dead! Even the ministers are more than half dead! And at this time, the damned western kingdom of Nigad is still at war with us!"
"If the imperial capital is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, we can give you as much gold as you want, and you can recruit people again when they die, and some people want to join. The wise man unceremoniously opened the prince's hand and said lightly: "The important thing is that you remember the agreement between us, as for the western kingdom of Nigad..."
Speaking of the Western Nigadian Kingdom, the wise man also frowned slightly, this time the matter is still too big, it is difficult to say whether the Nigadian Kingdom will get out of control, but he still maintained a calm tone, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I promise, even if they advance, the speed will be quite slow, and what you have to do now is to quickly ascend the throne and grasp the power of Taimoya." ”
Last night, it is impossible to count how many ghost knights suddenly appeared from the palace, but according to a rough estimate, at least hundreds are only some...
Don't think that hundreds of ghost knights are nothing spectacular.
Ghost Rider is not a water ghost or ghoul.
In fact, even powerful monsters like werewolves and deer head demons are completely inadequate in front of the ghost knights.
Ghost Knight, even in the Kayla Mor Demon Hunter Academy, is a kind of monster that makes people smell and change color.
The Ghost Knights have many other names in different worlds - "Legion of the Reaper", "Pale Hunter", "Wild Hunter"...
Behind every title, there are bloody numbers.
"Are there any survivors?"
The reincarnation of the white left beautiful woman asks the soldiers and servants who are carrying the collapsed objects and corpses in the ruins of the palace.
"Nope. ”
Along the way, everyone shook their heads to indicate that no living person had been found, and the white left beauty walked to the side of the palace, where the ground was full of the bodies of the deceased who had been found.
The white left beauty searched the pile of corpses, returned to the wise man, and said to the other party, "You guessed right... I didn't find Leonard's body, but maybe his body was buried somewhere. ”
"No, Leonard is a cunning fellow, and he's much more likely to escape than to die. The wise man smiled.
Leonard, the person who opened the gates of hell, is also an important part of his next calculation, but after yesterday's incident, he wants to talk to the other party easily, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
"Wise man, I've already contacted Blade's side, yesterday's incident was too big, and the entire Nigadian royal court has already received the news, and now they are frantically urging Marshal Ambery on the front line to march into Temoa. ”
At this time, the captain of the Viper squad with the image of a tough guy soldier also came over, he was not there before, he used the walkie-talkie to contact the team members in the western Nigadian Kingdom.
Most of a capital was slaughtered, the entire palace was razed to the ground, half of the ministers died, and all the court mages representing the highest extraordinary combat power of a country died... Such a big situation will definitely upset the balance between the two countries - not to mention that Nigad and Temoya are still at war?
As for the western kingdom of Nigad, it has now received the news... It's normal, it's a world of magic, and you can do anything at a cost.
"The interests of countries are paramount, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, no matter how much gold we use, it is impossible to change King Nigad's will to fight..."
The wise man had an expression of expectation, groaned, and continued: "This is my mistake, but there is no way to change it now, try to make up for it, contact the blade again, if you have to advance, slow down the advance as much as possible, and avoid the battle with the Temoa army as much as possible, after all, the plot has already begun... All soldiers are to be used on the blade. ”

"It's time to go!"
Zhao Li stood at the door of the swamp witch's hut with high spirits, holding the white and hard "Hammer Sorrow" in his hand.
Killing the swamp witch and resurrecting the two of them was the most deal-making Zhao Li had ever made.
Not only have nine skulls theoretically "absorbed" been made, but the weapons have been re-strengthened, and the strength has increased greatly, but these are not the biggest gains.
The biggest harvest is the magical knowledge obtained from the memories of the two swamp witches, these two swamp witches are completely Zhao Li's happy gift package.
Although the two swamp witches are not the top dark wizards, they have lived for more than a hundred years, and the total amount of black magic knowledge in their minds is still quite a lot, and the various spells they have mastered are also varied.
Two swamp witches, the elder witch is mainly good at undead summoning spells - but this spell has nothing to learn for Zhao Li, and the younger sister witch is good at potions and poison spells, although there is no particularly powerful magic, but at least some general, offensive, defensive magic, the two witches are more or less proficient.
And the variety of spells is exactly what Zhao Li wants to obtain the most.
