Wars often arise over trivial things.

Just like the civil war of the bloody parliament, the cause was only a small matter, but it was widely implicated, and finally even two of the three powerful families were deeply involved, and the territory that had developed for more than ten years and was initially prosperous was destroyed like ruins by the war, and even the dragon city was destroyed by half. Many facilities that are vital to the survival and development of ordinary human beings have also been destroyed by the war. For example, synthetic food factories, nuclear power plants, conventional power plants, and various smelting plants, etc. At the same time as the civil war, foreign enemies also found the right time to invade, but for some reason, the Holy Radiance Crusader, the biggest enemy of the Bloody Council, suddenly fell apart, allowing the Northern Legion to be preserved in an organized manner. However, the Scorpion's frenzied attack still bleed the Bloody Council, mainly to the Arthur family, and if it weren't for Oberen's strong return and Elena's sudden defection, perhaps the Arthur family would have been completely destroyed in this war. Although the Scorpion's forces suddenly turned to the west at the height of the situation, the Arthur family was not in a better situation, and in the ensuing situation, the Arthurs became the only mainstay of the Empress's army, withstanding the attack of almost the entire Bloody Council. If it weren't for Oberen's stunning appearance, the Arthur family would have disappeared from history.

And the backbone of the speaker, the situation of the William family is not much better. All of Oberen's brilliant achievements can be said to be based on the blood and bones of the William family warriors. Compared to Oberen, Ludendorff seems to be much more steady, but in this war, steadfastness has long been a derogatory term. At the turning point of the Battle of Woods Woods, after Gardler's defeat and retreat again, Ludendorff could no longer bear the heavy casualties and had to lead the remaining family warriors to retreat. This means that it is first of all that they cannot afford to lose blood, not the Arthurs. This is a turning point for this war, but it does not mean that it will necessarily be so.

The real upper-level people know very well that the outcome of the war is not determined by the outcome of the battle between the army or ordinary or even high-level capable people, but only by a very small number of strong people who stand at the pinnacle of mankind. Their names include Lanaxis, Bebraz and Josh. Morgan, as long as they haven't been involved, the war isn't over. Perhaps, in the opinion of a few, Sue will now be added to this list.

The bloody parliamentary civil war did not last long, and the catastrophe caused to ordinary people was still even on top of the world wars of the old era. Nearly half of the millions of civilians living within the Bloody Council's territory were killed or wounded, which would be the equivalent of a catastrophe for any living race. Even if the development rate of human beings is much earlier and the reproductive cycle is greatly shortened, it is still not possible to recover the number in a short period of time.

There is another side to war. The war of the old times was the driving force behind the redistribution of resources and the rapid development of technology, while the civil war of the Bloody Council was a period of endless emergence of capable people and rapid improvement of the level of ability. To this day, if you look at the number of mid- and high-level abilities, the Blood Council has risen instead of falling. Some people speculate that this situation may be exactly what the Spider Empress needs, and she has always believed that the capable are the pillar of the new era. Bebraz has always wanted to restore the order of the old era, to the era of equality for all. However, in order to realize his ideals, he can only rely on the capable to compete with the capable ones of the other party. And he himself can only fight against the Spider Empress with the help of the power of the whole body, because she also has the whole body.

War destroys the old world and builds a new one on the ruins.

In the wilderness of the northwest, more than a dozen people lined up in a long line, moving rapidly and silently. Although they are not many in number, their destructive power is no less than that of the heavy troops of the old era. Except for a few Fighting Domains and one Psionic Domain sniper, the rest of the team are all spell-like abilities of the fifth order or above. Oberen and Elena are also on the list! Oberen walked at the front of the group, his senses far away, to the limit of what he could. At the end of his line of sight appeared the outline of a small town, a half-abandoned town that looked uninhabited. But Oberion knew otherwise, the town was an important supply transit point for the Speaker's army, as well as the center of a new defensive line after retreating. Although his injuries had not healed this time, he took the main force of the family army with him, preparing to take this important location in one fell swoop and prevent the Speaker's army from regaining its vitality.

Knowing that the town must be heavily defended, Oberen stopped a few kilometers away, allowing one of the Domain Sensers to scout while the rest rested. His purpose is to keep supplies in the town, not to annihilate the enemy's abilities. Therefore, it is not afraid to let the opponent know his offensive intentions, and if he can make the defenders panic or waver, it is naturally better.

After the scout sneaked forward, the sniper also found an ambush position and began to observe the target through the guò scope. After watching it for a while, he suddenly sent a signal to Oberen, and Oberion immediately sneaked over. It's just over a kilometer from the town, so you can snipe at enemies and be sniped by them. Although he is not afraid of sniping, no matter who he is, he will not want to be pointed at a sniper rifle. Through the telescope, Oberen unexpectedly discovers that the town is surprisingly deserted, with not a single figure visible. The empty streets are littered with scattered papers, and when a gust of wind blows, they roll up flakes of snow-white. There are several absolutely important locations where there are no sentinels at all. If there are no people here, it will be very dangerous to retreat in the town, because it will be difficult to defend against the sneak attack of a few strong troops, such as the current team of Oberen.

Did something happen?

Oberen frowned unknowingly, and was thinking about it, when a scout appeared in his senses. He hurried back, but he didn't forget to hide his tracks. Upon approaching Oberen's side, the Scout's first words were, "The town is empty!" ”

"Empty?" Oberion was stunned, and learned from the captured enemy's individual intelligence that the town had been heavily guarded just yesterday. It will certainly not be possible to completely retreat in a day's time, unless some of the supplies are discarded.

"It's empty! I've looked closely, and there's not a single one in town. There aren't many people who can hide my perception. The scout affirmed. He's been through many life-and-death battles, and his abilities are definitely trustworthy, so Oberion nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and motioned for Elena to follow.

A few minutes later, Oberen was already standing in the center of the town. The town was in shambles, with many bulky strategic supplies, such as food and ammunition, scattered and seemingly abandoned. Well-fortified fortifications were built at important strategic points, but even anti-aircraft machine guns were dropped at individual firing points, and it was clear that the garrison troops had retreated in great haste. The church in the center of the town has long been converted into a munitions storage site, filled with various strategic supplies, and the basement is a place to store oil. Barrels of gasoline and jet fuel were neatly stacked and discarded. It seems that the defenders are not even in the mood to light a fire or set off a bomb.

The wind whistled and whined through the gap in the middle of the building. Standing in the center of the town, Oberen, looking around, suddenly felt an unreal desolation and loneliness, as if he was the only one left in the world. He didn't understand where this kind of love came from, and it was clear that Elena was by his side, but looking at the town that seemed to be an empty city overnight, he couldn't control his feelings a little. It was a sudden relaxation after the tension, and even Oberen was a little unable to adapt to it for a while.

Elena walked up to Oberen's side and asked, "Why did they run away all of a sudden?" And so many supplies were thrown away. ”

Oberen suddenly thought of a possibility, although he felt incredible, but the more he thought about it, the more possible it became, so he said slowly: "Perhaps, this war is almost over." ”

"Huh!?" Elena was a little embarrassed to accept the news for a while.

In Dragon City, the Dark Dragoon Headquarters is one of the few important buildings that has not been affected by the war. The two dragoons at the door were still in good spirits and standing straight, and their uniforms were neat and bright, even in the most difficult times. However, while the pomp and circumstance remained, the Dark Dragoon's status in the Bloody Council had diminished significantly. It's because of Josh. Morgan's neutrality is also due to his inaction. During the war, Morgan always turned a blind eye to the fact that all forces had drawn their own dragoons to participate in the war, and as long as he didn't make trouble in front of him, he had the right not to know. As a result, the number of dragoons who would naturally obey the command of the headquarters was greatly reduced. On the other hand, as the cause of the war, Persephone, who was the Dark Dragoon General, was stripped of her military post and wanted, which also made many Dark Dragoons secretly feel cold and have the idea of retreating. Now in the Dragoon headquarters building, there is only one former general left, Josh Morgan, and there are only twenty or thirty staff members who used to be hundreds, except for the secretaries, the regular dark dragoons only have civilian positions like Lieutenant Colonel Julio who can't fight.

Morgan was still standing in front of the window, holding a coffee cup, looking out at the sea. Time seemed to freeze in his office, and it didn't look any different than ever. Of course, there are still subtle differences, such as the quality of the cup of coffee in his hand that has dropped more than one notch.

Now that dusk was approaching, the sky had begun to darken, and the clouds on the sea had been blown away by strong winds, revealing beams of red sunlight that reflected large sparkling scales on the sea. Compared with the scenery outside the window, Morgan's office is a little too dark, and the lighting is much weaker than before, making the classical-style office a little more Yin and depressing. A few soft knocks on the door interrupted his train of thought. The secretary, who was still young and beautiful, had a hot body, poked his head in through the door and asked, "Do I need to change your cup of coffee?" ”A
