Chapter 532: Goal
A few days later, a large number of merchants appeared in the town of Leia in the Shadow Empire, as well as some large caravans.
Although there is a great war going on in the northern part of Darkmoon's territory, the western part and Darkmoon City are safe for the time being, and the commercial system remains basically normal. It's just that the number of merchants has been greatly reduced due to the war, and large-scale caravans like this are rare, especially from the Red Shadow Territory, which is worth pondering. In this regard, the mayor of Leia Town, Raymont, just turned a blind eye, the Fallen Angel Empire is now in the period of civil war, and the Empress Bixia, who has been rumored to secretly support Dark Moon, has an unclear attitude, and there is no relevant strict order, and he has recently accepted a heavy bribe from the Chiyou Territory, and the so-called cannibalistic people have a soft mouth, so they simply pretend to be confused.
Geraint was mixed in one of the "caravanserais", and there were more than 2,000 people scattered into Leia Town, but it was still not enough, so he could only live in the town's inn and continue to wait for the time being.
Droche tells Geraint that the maximum number of people is 5,000, and if it is too many, it may not be possible to pass the level of Leia.
The five thousand men selected by Geraint were all the elite of the headquarters brought out of the Tekula Fortress, well-equipped and powerful. The soldiers are not expensive, and Geraint is confident enough to complete this raid and catch the eldest princess Thea off guard.
In fact, Geraint left the front line of Dico Town and moved west, with the intention of temporarily avoiding the limelight. Zhuo Che is right, His Royal Highness the Regent has the wisdom of a person, but he has no room for people. Geraint thought that he should not be eager to win before, and he was outspoken and admonished, committing the taboo of the regent, and although he won a small victory, the promise of the duke of the regent (alluding to the lord of the Dark Moon Domain) actually pushed him, the deputy commander, to the forefront, making him jealous and ostracized by most lords and generals. If he finally leads the army to defeat Darkmoon, I am afraid that it will cause more suspicion, and even if he can really get the title of duke, it is impossible to become the lord of Darkmoon. Take a step back. If the united front fails, there is no doubt that he will become a substitute for the dead, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
Geraint considers himself a pure military man, in his heart. I'd rather face the Darkmoon army than stay with those intriguing "own people", at the very least, know who the enemy is on the battlefield.
The front had already arrived at the inn, and Geraint didn't think about any more superfluous things, and immediately arranged for the disguised soldiers to stay, and sent someone to pick up the companions who arrived one after another.
It is highly likely that the main force of the Moon Shadow Legion to the west of Darkmoon has left the Valan Fortress. But the precautions will definitely be tighter, so it is necessary to gather liliang and work in one fell swoop. Even if it consumes too many troops, it is not enough to enter Darkmoon City further east, it can still cause huge pressure on Darkmoon, and greatly damage the morale of Darkmoon's main army currently assembled in Lacey Town. Therefore, the goal of this war is to do whatever it takes. Take the Valan Fortress!
In Dico, Obsidian-appointed Inspector Zhuo Che has an equally clear goal: to eradicate the mole!
The Imperial Capital Coalition Army is currently on the eve of sharpening its knives and facing the Great War. And Zhuo Che, who was holding some kind of knife handle, slashed at "his own people" with his first knife.
Several people in the upper echelons of the coalition army have already fallen from power, including General Satron, who has a close relationship with the "rebellious" Geraint, and the three lords who secretly have dealings with Darkmoon. After purging the "traitors", Obsidian immediately used speeches and material distribution to appease the morale of the army, and shifted all the responsibility for the previous defeat on these collaborators, and for a while, the soldiers who did not know the truth became excited./
After a small defeat of the undead army. The Dark Moon army in Lacey Town is also urgently assembling and dispatching, and the eldest princess Thea has already arrived in Lacey Town, and a head-to-head battle between the two sides is about to break out. ..., compared to Geraint and Zhuo Che, Chen Rui seemed aimless at this time, he was wandering leisurely on the streets of the imperial capital, browsing the shops. Pick up some food at the stall and hook up with the succubus at the door of the tavern.
The matter of Bai Ling's territory has been resolved, and the Sikari clone at the peak of the Demon Emperor has become Chen Rui's servant, and after devouring the soul of the true body, his strength has increased greatly, and he has been promoted from the peak of the Demon Emperor to the early stage of the Demon Emperor, becoming the real and only White Ling Lord Sikari.
This Sikari is scheming, ambitious and means, and is better than the Red Shadow Lord Zhuoche, but in his opinion, Chen Rui went deep into the underground base, destroyed the Wheel of Hera under the protection of many powerful dead soldiers, captured the Demon Emperor-level true body, completely destroyed the base, and set a trap to lure the two clones and Palando into the bait, and finally caught them all - whether it is strength or scheming, he is far inferior.
The rule of the demon world is that the strong are respected, so Sikari, who chose to surrender, was not completely unwilling in his heart, and coupled with the restrictions of the master-servant contract, at least at this stage, he did not dare to have extra thoughts.
Chen Rui understands this very well, in order to truly deter and control characters including Zhuo Che and Guladam, it is not enough to rely on the master-servant contract, but also needs liliang and wisdom, as long as his strength is getting stronger and stronger, even if these people are unruly, they can only honestly bow down.
After signing the master-servant contract, Chen Rui's first order to this new servant was to immediately withdraw all the troops from the three towns north of Ista and move these elite forces to the south, and assemble in the south, closest to the imperial capital of Kedonno. At the same time, it will fully support all the logistical materials needed for the Valloch Fortress, and select the best craftsmen to make ordnance according to certain drawings and provide it to the Vallock Fortress.
Sikari finally realized: it turned out that he had been wrong all along, and behind "Fake" was not blood annihilation, but the dark moon!
What a dark moon!
What a big game of chess!
Chen Rui's wandering around the imperial capital seemed to be leisurely, but in fact, he had a full view of the imperial capital's armament and other situations, compared them with the information provided by the dark demons one by one, and constantly adjusted and corrected a certain jihua that was about to be launched in his heart.
Just as Geraint wanted to surprise attack Darkmoon City from the west, Chen Rui's plan was to raid Obsidian's lair, the Imperial Capital, from behind!
When Chen Rui came out of the dark moon, he didn't have a single soldier at hand, but now, he already had the army of the entire Bailing territory plus the elite army sent by General George, and he just waited for an order to attack the imperial capital from Keduno Town as quickly as possible.
Although most of the main forces of the imperial capital have been transferred to the battlefield of the Dark Moon, the second general Duolun Ruth and the Red Demon Legion under his command are still not to be underestimated, and there are also the elder families and the liliang of the major families in the imperial capital, plus the strong city walls and defenses, if it is attacked, it will be taken. The loss of troops and time would also be enormous.
To deal with a strong fortress, the most haode way is to start attacking from the inside, and at present, the dark demons in the imperial capital are all ready, and the enemy is bright and dark. It is the greatest advantage of destruction from within.
However, on the eve of the launch, Chen Rui has another very important goal.
Night.
The inner city, the vault of the palace.
"Lord Temo. The guard in front of the vault bowed to a grim-faced demon.
The Great Demon nodded, didn't speak, and walked straight in.
The guards did not question it in the slightest, for everyone knew the temperament of the Commander-in-Chief. However, what they didn't know was that after the Lord Commander walked through the door with a cold face, although his facial expression was stiff, his eyes began to roll flexibly, quickly observing the surrounding environment, comparing it with the information obtained in his mind.
"Temo" is naturally Chen Rui, Chen Rui is not the first time to come to the palace vault of the Fallen Angel Empire, at the beginning, Obsidian had taken him all the way to unimpeded. And today he's going to infiltrate the vault alone. ..., the palace vault is heavily organized, and it is extremely heavily guarded, and it is almost impossible to sneak in with disguises such as transfiguration. However, Chen Rui has been planning this moment for a long time. As early as when he first entered the Vault, he began a certain calculation, and in the following time, the secret agents of the Dark Moon have been making relevant preparations, especially after Isabella took over the Dark Demon, the Secret Vault has become a major research target, and Zuihou has set the key breakthrough on the Lord of Lords.
With no intention of calculation, Chen Rui successfully "replaced" Temo and successfully entered the secret vault.
What appeared in front of Chen Rui was a passage, which was equivalent to a pass. Behind the pass is the most secret inner library, which belongs to the top secret existence, and even Temo, who is the supreme commander of the guard, has no authority to cross this pass. Similarly, the Dark Demon has very little information about the Inner Treasury, except that there may be more powerful guards or mechanisms.
Since Chen Rui is here. Naturally, he was mentally prepared, and after carefully sensing the situation in the passage for a while, "Temo" walked in decisively.
The inner vault was empty and unguarded, but the magic arrays all over the place were several times more complicated and powerful than the outside, but for Chen Rui, it was a relatively easy thing.
Chen Rui was already a great expert in the magic array, and with the memory knowledge obtained from the inheritance of the alchemy civilization, with the help of in-depth analysis skills, his attainments in some aspects had reached an incredible level. You don't even need to crack some magic arrays to deal with them, but use special techniques to shield them, which can be quickly passed without alarming the protection, which was the method used to infiltrate the underground base of Massimo Town last time.
Chen Rui groped all the way with his memory, and finally came to the front of a secret vault, yes, it should be this red secret vault, and after patiently unlocking the magic array of the secret vault door, he successfully pushed the door open.
There were no magic mechanisms or extra treasures inside the door, only a stone platform, on which a sword was suspended.
The delicate and delicate hilt of the sword is inlaid with a magnificent purple gemstone, and the sword is two back-to-back dark golden angels, the sword body is snow-white, engraved with two strange marks, exuding a simple and mysterious atmosphere.
One of the Seven Artifacts of the Demon Realm, the supreme artifact of the Lucifer Royal Clan - the Sword of the Fallen Angel!
That is also the goal of Chen Rui to infiltrate the secret vault this time!
Chen Rui observed carefully for a while, and was about to step forward, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he changed his mind, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "It's a pity that it's a good sword!"
"Isn't it?"
His voice sounded like he was asking someone.
"Where is the pity?"
Finally, an old voice rang out in the room, and the voice seemed to echo everywhere, not knowing the exact source.
"The most feared thing about a good sword is that it won't be able to touch its true master. Chen Rui turned back slowly, slowly, this process was like a sword hidden in a sheath, always maintaining the greatest calm, "It's the same with an empire, two, isn't it?"
The same two sentences of inquiry made the space behind him writhe for a while, and the two transparent phantoms gradually became clear.
Race: Archdemon (mutated). Comprehensive strength assessment: S+. Analysis: Fire properties. (Very dangerous)
Race: Arrogant Royalty. Comprehensive strength assessment: S+. Analysis: Dark attributes. (Very dangerous)
Chen Rui's face remained calm, and his heart churned violently: Peak Demon Emperor, there are still two! Your sister's today is an auspicious day of the zodiac, and she has hit great luck!
No wonder I haven't encountered any guards all the way since I entered the inner library, it turns out that there are such strong people guarding the town!
It is very likely that from the first step when he incarnated as Temo to enter the inner library, he was targeted by the other party.
The foundation of an empire is quite strong, even if the current Fallen Angel Empire is the end of the three major empires, it is not a fluke that it has been standing since the division of the Seven Royal Clans. On the surface, there are not many high-level powerhouses in various countries, and the three generals are basically at the Demon Emperor level. Although the first thing that the imperial generals focus on is the ability to command the troops, rather than their personal combat strength, what is really feared by the great empire is those strong people who are not put on the table, such as the elders in the patriarchal family, the hidden powerhouses in the royal family, etc., and for example, the two peak demon emperors in front of them. ..., it is precisely because of the existence of these liliang that even a huge organization as ambitious as Blood Annihilation, with several powerful Demon Emperors, can still only operate in the shadows and cannot deal with it head-on.
When Chen Rui was just reborn in the Demon Realm, a middle-level demon could easily crush him, and then his horizons gradually broadened, high-level demons, demon kings, and great demon kings......
Although due to the decay and decline of the Dark Moon Territory for four hundred years at that time, even the Demon Emperor was basically difficult to see, but with the growth of Chen Rui's strength and experience, not only did he come into contact with more and more Demon Emperors and Demon Emperors between the three major empires, but even the legendary demigods also intersected.
The Demon Emperor, who could only look up to at the beginning, has now become Chen Rui's stepping stone, even if he is a strong man in the early and middle stages of the Demon Emperor level, with the Liliang of the Imperial Star Transformation and various means, Chen Rui is also confident to fight with him or even cut him down, but he still can't match the peak Demon Emperor.
This pinnacle demon emperor refers to the ordinary realm. If you face the super strength of Lei Chan, Catherine, and Lola, if you don't count the skills of turning flies and moving stars, you will basically be killed in seconds.
The two peak demon emperors in front of him, Chen Rui can't even beat one, plus one, there is no suspense about the outcome of the outcome, even if there is a running skill like the Starry Sky Gate, I am afraid that he may not be able to escape.
This time he came to steal the Sword of the Fallen Angel, he was already mentally prepared for a tough battle, but he didn't expect that the difficulty was beyond imagination!
