The battle to reclaim Midnight City officially came to an end at the moment when Ledesma's heart burst.

His body lay quietly on the ground, blood pouring from beneath him, silently spreading in all directions. The four powerful lights still focused on Ledesma's corpse, illuminating his last moment expression. On that face, there was reluctance, fear, anger, and so many other things.

If history can be preserved, then in this vast area, the name of Ledesma will be remembered and circulated among a few historians. For such a tyrant who single-handedly created the Blade of Destruction from scratch, established Midnight City with both hell and heaven, and was only one step away from standing on the top of the king of the Western Regions of the Great Lakes, as long as this area is involved in any history textbook, his place is indispensable.

Lesma's greatest contribution to the era as an engineer was the reconstruction of Midnight City's water purification plant, which was built on the basis of the first and only indoor farm in the area. Combined, these two facilities have enabled hundreds of thousands of people to survive. Under the rule of the Blade of Perdition, people still need to struggle for survival, but at least they can survive with effort.

But Ledesma's luck wasn't good enough.

In the old days, he might have had a chance to become a figure worthy of some of the most famous presidents in Union history, but, unfortunately, he grew up in a turbulent era that upended common sense.

The only reason for Ledesma's failure was that he wasn't strong enough and didn't find a strong enough partner or escort.

And in turbulent times, strength is the only rule.

At the time of Ledesma's death, none of his warriors tried to stop him. In front of Su's terrifying ability, everyone understood that any obstruction would only cost their lives in vain.

It's not just that there was no one to save Ledesma, but there were many smart people who had already captured the bold person and escorted him to Su.

It was a young man not yet thirty, a commoner in his dress, with messy hair and a beard that had not been trimmed for a long time obscuring most of his face, but a pair of eyes of Latin blood that did not match his downcast appearance. He also has a second-order strength ability, which can be regarded as a good hand among civilians and even in the army, but it is still far from the elite personal guard of Ledsma. Besides, he doesn't have a weapon yet.

An officer flatteringly handed the man's vintage camera to Sue. Through the half-darkened LCD screen, Sue could see the moment when she smashed Ledesma's heart in the air. I have to admit that the timing and angle of this photo shooting are completely magical.

Looking at the photo, Su looked at the man who was forcibly pressed to his knees with interest, he was looking back at Su, there was a little fear in his eyes, but more excitement.

"Your Excellency, are you going to smash it?" The officer asked.

"Nope." Su stopped the officer who was in a hurry to pat himself on the back and asked the man, "Why are you taking pictures?" ”

The man immediately straightened his chest and said loudly: "This is a moment in history, and it is my duty to record it!" ”

"Really?" Su smiled, gave the camera back to him, and said, "Well, keep it well." ”

With that, Sue walked towards Ledesma's mansion.

And the man was stunned and hugged the camera and shouted at Sue's back, "Hey! Is that all it about? Don't you want to take a few more photos? Hi, listen to me, let me take a picture of you, you will be remembered by people in hundreds of years! ”

When Sue's figure completely disappeared inside the gate of the Ledesma Mansion, the officer kicked the man to the ground and said through gritted teeth: "Photo? I'm fucking you pics! You make Lao Tzu look like a clown! Before Master Su changes his mind, get out of here! Next time I let Lao Tzu see you, I will definitely break your bones! ”

The officer's heavy boots kicked the man so hard that he turned pale and ran away. The officer seemed to remember something, and shouted at the Latin man's back: "Stinky boy, keep your camera!" ”

By this time, Sue was already standing in Ledsma's lavish office, admiring the furniture, paintings, and ornaments inside. Medirri and Sylvanas stood in front of the window, taking in everything that was happening outside.

Seeing the Latin man fleeing with the camera in his arms, Sylvanas couldn't help but snort and said, "Another guy who wants to speculate!" But he's really bold. ”

"Well, he's very thoughtful and willing to take risks." Medirli agreed, then added, "If his potential wasn't only the third order, I think he would get a chance." ”

A look of disgust appeared on Sylvanas' face: "He's a shameless guy at all, even worse than those warriors outside!" Is it true that the master intends to co-opt and appoint those people? They are simply not trustworthy and can betray at any moment! ”

Medirri looked at Sylvanas with a childlike expression, smiled lightly and said, "Yes, why not?" As long as Su's power is still there, these people will never dare to betray him. We started with the 'Blood Bullet' and fought our way to the point where we wanted to show the fiercest group of people in Midnight City that our power was no match for them. As for this city, as long as the people in this city can have food and live, whoever rules will be the same. ”

Sylvanas disliked Medirri's eyes very much, and argued, "But why do you have to rely on strength and terror to maintain your rule?" Isn't it permissible for people to obey out of gratitude? ”

"Because Sue doesn't have time, and people's desires are endless." Medirli said.

With the assistance of the Rydesma Guard, the process of taking Midnight City went smoothly. Ledesma's death made the senior officers of the unit realize how weak the weapons they relied on were in front of Sue, and they wisely dispelled the idea of fishing in troubled waters. And Lola, who had the strongest individual combat power in the Council of Five, surrendered very simply after learning of Ledesma's death.

To Sue's surprise, he actually met Victor. It is a miracle that Victor is still alive after spending a month in a dark and damp water prison. However, he also paid a heavy price, and the torture of the harsh environment caused his ability to reach the sixth order to now degrade to the third order. Even if there is some recovery in the future, it will never be possible to reach the original height. The other two members of the committee were killed in the chaos when Ledesma seized power. Victor was captured by Ledsma's design, but surprisingly, Victor, who had always been good friends with Ledsma, refused to cooperate with him at all, so he was thrown into the black prison. Ledesma was expecting him to give in, but what he was waiting for was Sue's return.

When Sue asks why Victor refuses to cooperate with Ledsma, he replies that he is convinced that Sue will eventually return, in which case working with Ledsma will surely die, and if he refuses, Ledsma may not kill him. Hearing Victor's answer, Sue just smiled, and then let him recuperate in peace, and promised to hand over Midnight City to him to manage when Victor recovered.

It took a whole day to stabilize the shape of Midnight City. When night fell again, Midnight City, which had dragged away the corpses and washed away the blood, began to bustle and bustle again, and in the midst of alcohol and confusion, the people quickly forgot about the war of the day and plunged into the endless revelry as before.

In Ledesma's office, Sue stared at the gradually noisy Midnight City, suddenly sighed, and said, "Stay here for two more days at most, and then we'll go back to the Iron Gate." ”

"So fast?" Medirri asked, somewhat surprised.

Su nodded and said, "Well, you know, I'm going to be a father soon." But that little thing...... If I'm not around, it's really reassuring. Stay here longer, I'm worried that something will happen to Leigh. ”

Behind Sue's insight, Medirri grimaced, but her tone was serious: "We should have gone back earlier." ”

Sue, who was always monitoring her surroundings with a panorama, of course noticed Medirri's small movements, but she only took this as a girl's naughtiness.

Night was falling.

In the same night, ice and snow can still be seen everywhere in the mountainous areas of the northern part of the continent. At the foot of the snowy peak, three bonfires burned. On such a cold night, the flickering flame can't really bring much warmth to the people next to it.

Oberen was sitting by the campfire, flipping through the book of Revelation by the light of the fire.

"It says that I am in the past, in the future, and I am in the present. I have died and risen again, and so on, forever. It says that I hold the keys to many worlds, and thus open the door to the other......" Oberen read softly, his melodious voice fluttering in the night breeze, and his own power in harmony with the sound of the chant, gently undulating like a tidal wave.

His voice was not loud, but the powerful voice could be heard far away, not only by Aaron, who was sitting by the same fire, but also by Persephone and Elena, who were some distance away.

The moment was peaceful and quiet, as if the battle that had just ended had never happened.

The soft and melodious sound of the chant seems to dispel a lot of the cold of the night, but the content of the book of Revelation is different. Every time I hear Oberion read the book of Revelation, people who listen to it always feel like they have touched the edge of a mysterious world. But no one interrupts Oberen's reading at this time, because his voice is truly peaceful, and he is indeed pouring his whole heart into this worn scripture. On the other hand, it was also a way for Oberen to cultivate and gather strength, and as the pages of the Book of Revelation turned, his power grew slowly but firmly.
