readx;?“ At that time, General Mirion was at the helm of General Mirion, along with General Floss and I marching eastward at the same time. It took www.biquge.info March of fighting to regain all the lost territory and drive the army of Duobia back to the other end of the land bridge. Next, the war between our empire and the Dorbia returned to the tug-of-war of the land bridge. The Empire now has 300,000 troops in Crucible, 100,000 in Hellfort and 100,000 in Steel, forming a line of defense that is extremely deep. If Duobia wants to go deep into the empire like he did last time, it is absolutely impossible unless the Black Emperor personally conquers again. ”

As Baal spoke, a chuckle from Sbernack sounded in the shadows: "Frius is not a fool, last time he attacked while I was asleep for the sake of his power." Now that I'm awake, there's no benefit to him doing it again. That kid was shrewd, and he didn't think he'd do a thankless task like this. ”

Sbernack added: "Baal, our war with Duobia is actually meaningless in the eyes of me and Frius. But even so, neither I nor he had any intention of ending the war. You know why? ”

Baal's ascension to the position of the Grand Overseer was not purely by force, but somewhat of a bit of a brain. Having pointed out that war was meaningless, Sbernack thought in that direction and came to a conclusion. But he didn't dare to say this conclusion, so he pretended to be stupid and shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

"You know, I just don't dare to say it." Sbernack said in a deep voice: "It's for internal friction." ”

"Our Bal genes are able to fuse other foreign genes in a near-perfect way, giving birth to entirely new descendants. It is no exaggeration to say that since the birth of the first Barr in Agareth, our evolution has not stopped for a moment. However, this life form is not without its drawbacks, and I think you know how short the reproductive cycle of the Bal women is. Every year, a large number of babies are born on this planet, and our growth cycle is just as short as it gets. It takes eighteen years for humans to go from infancy to adulthood, and we only need seven! There was a hint of emotion in Sbernack's tone: "There are many times when I even suspect that this race is a weapon of life entirely. With the ability to evolve infinitely and a very short period of reproduction and growth, it can be said that the Bal people have been preparing for battle since the moment they were born. ”

"Bloodthirsty and aggressive are in the nature of almost every Bal man. We are an aggressive people, and war is our calling. Then came the problems, the most serious of which were Agareth's resources. The voice in the shadow became heavy: "Agareth is not a resource-rich planet in the first place, maybe we have rare things that other planets don't have, such as the Abyss Crystal. If you can measure the entire planet, our resources are still too poor. Such a barren planet simply cannot support the explosively growing population of the Bal people. ”

There is no need to go on with Sburnark.

It was for this reason that the two Supremes knew that there was no point in war, but neither side was willing to stop this kind of behavior. If war does not consume too many lives of the Bal people, sooner or later the growing population will throw the entire planet's ecology out of balance. At the same time, the interstellar defense line established by Idahua and many advanced races in the universe in the Yotun Star Domain makes it impossible for the Bal people to transfer the surplus population to other planets. That's why we're in the current situation.

Baal was pondering the deeper meaning of Sbernack's words, when suddenly the Demon King in the shadow said, "I'm going to meet with Frius." ”

The Overseer was shaken, his eyes glowing with scorching fire as he looked at the shadow, and he couldn't care less. The passionate gaze seemed to see through the shadow. Unfortunately, Sbernack did not continue, but reached out and pointed to a place on the map. It is the northern border of the Demon Shadow Empire, across the desert and the Great Wasteland with the "Hill of Death".

"Your Majesty?"

"I want you to go to the fortress of Mokdan." The Demon King in the shadow said, "Not long ago, I discovered that the curtain of time in the Relic Realm was suddenly removed. This is unusual, and I don't know what will happen to the Relic or the Great Wasteland, so I need you to guard the gateway to the empire for me. ”

Baal said solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"You go immediately, and take the three thousand mad shadow army with you."

Baal's eyes narrowed, trying to say something, but he nodded and left the Hall of Shadows.

The two spots of scarlet in the shadow were still alone on the map on the long platform, and an iron-gloved hand stretched out from the shadows, and Sbernack stretched out his finger to the map. The map immediately moved towards the east, and the light on the stone platform changed rapidly, and when it finally stopped, a diorama of the city appeared in Spanark's line of sight.

That's Sunset City.

"It's time to meet, Frius. I'm afraid that's what you're looking forward to, right? ”

Idahuaxing, the Golden City.

A long whistling came from high in the sky, disturbing a few birds on the elegant windowsill. The frightened bird flew away from the windowsill, and a snow-white feather mixed with a few golden threads floated down in mid-air, lying quietly on the edge of the window.

Lucy glanced at the feather and said to a silver bracelet resting on the table next to her, "Go, bring it to me, just in time for a bookmark." ”

The silver bracelet suddenly writhed, and it was obviously metal, but it twisted and deformed like mercury, turning into a silver spider. It quickly swiped its silver feet, climbed up to the windowsill, and brought the white and gold feather to Lucy. Lucy placed the feather on the book she was reading, and closed it. She rubbed her eyebrows, looking very tired, and immediately put her head on the book and looked out the window in a daze.

Outside the window, there was the whistling of a starship breaking through the air.

"Your Highness, I suggest you go home and get some good sleep, I heard that you have been in the library for three days." A slightly reproachful voice rang out.

Lucy looked up and saw someone walking in outside the library door. A clean white robe with a pattern of scales embroidered on the chest with gold thread. The man with a codex in his hand strode up to Lucy.

"Link?" Lucy jumped up and said in surprise, "Didn't you hear that you went to the surface province?" ”

"I happened to be back on vacation recently, so I should have been here a long time ago, if I had known what that bastard Franco had done." Link still had a serious face and didn't smile.

Last time, Franco tried to do bad to Lucy on the white arched bridge outside the library, but he forced the Golden Rose to retreat. Ofascis was furious when he learned of this, and Franco was arrested that day, and three days later he was sent to the Side Hammer Planet to fill the army, and even his father was demoted three ranks. The anger of Ofascist made the government and the opposition see his determination to defend Lucy, and also made some people who originally had the same thoughts as Franco have to focus on the status of Lucy, the princess, in the emperor's heart.

There are also people who believe that the Emperor is actually defending the Golden Rose, but no matter which one it is, after Franco's incident, no one dares to provoke Lucy easily. Ofascist also ordered Marquis Marus, who was in charge of the security of the palace, to find a suitable personal guard for Lucy, although Lucy said that she didn't need it, but this time Ofascist insisted strongly, and Lucy had to give up.

When Link returned to the City of Gold, he heard that Franco had done such a thing, and he was almost so angry that he wanted to go to the bastard. When he heard that Franco had already reinstated the army, he gave up, but immediately inquired about Lucy's whereabouts, so he hurried over.

Lucy shook her head, sat down, and said, "I can protect myself." ”

Link looked at her, pushed the frame of the mirror and said, "He promised me to protect you, but now"

"Allen can't be blamed for that." Lucy shrugged: "At that time, he didn't know that he was the Children of Dusk. ”

"So, what are you going to do?"

"What to do?"

Link sighed, sat down next to her, and said, "I don't want to be a villain in vain, but I have to persuade you." Eren can't change the fact that he is a child of twilight, even if he is not fully awakened, it is still a time. Bomb. Your Majesty can spare him for your sake and promise to turn a blind eye as long as he doesn't wake up, but can anyone else do the same? They can't, including me, and even though I'm sitting here at the moment, I still see Eren as a threat. ”

"A potential threat."

"If you refuse to give up on him, one day, you will still be forced to stand against the emperor."

Lucy shook her head: "How can I give up on him." ”

"I can't give up on him!" Lucy's voice was not loud, but her tone was resolute: "If even I give up on him, then, who else will save him?" ”

"I know very well who Alan is, and he doesn't want to be the Children of Twilight at all. This is the shackle that fate has imposed on him, and no matter what, I will definitely find the key to open this shackle! ”

Link looked at her seriously, and after a moment smiled gently, "I knew you would say that, if you were so easy to change, you wouldn't be the Lucy I know." That stubborn girl, as long as it is what she believes in, she will do it. So, if there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to let me know, although there's not much I can do to help."

"It's enough for you to support me." Lucy laughed too.

"By the way, I heard that Earth is in trouble right now?" Link asked again.

Lucy nodded and sighed: "I don't know much about the details, I heard that the Nilm people poured out of the nest, and I don't know how to bypass the interstellar defense line and directly open the space channel near the moon." Earth has sent a request for help, and out of the obligation of the allies, my father has ordered Duke Griffo to rush to support with a fleet. You hear it, it's all starships taking off these days."
