Ternes' request to "enter Beijing" Chen Rui naturally would not refuse, with the prestige of the first leather armor mastery master Feng Saka and the first prop mastery master Tertenis, the Fallen Angel Empire's Artifact Alliance will definitely overshadow the other two countries.

The old man originally wanted to pull Chen Rui to teach the memory knowledge of the ancient inheritance, but the important discovery of those materials just now made him very inspired by the research of black medicine, and he was about to shiyan, so he didn't force it to stay.

Chen Rui walked out of the laboratory and said goodbye to the Sky couple and the others, before leaving, the eyes of the two dark elf girls made him feel that something was wrong, as if ......

Chen Rui immediately shook his head, Eve and Arian are not a year or two older than Alice, they are just little girls, they usually have too little contact with the opposite sex, just some hazy feelings of ignorance, as long as they are appropriately distanced and let them see the world more, they can become invisible.

Back at the residence, Chen Rui told the latest information about the Shadow Empire, Athena and Ji Ya showed their worries together, the civil war of the Fallen Angel Empire had just stopped, and the foreign enemy was immediately eyeing her;

Lomont, Pagliou, and Chlobe Ruth looked as if nothing had happened. Only Laura said: "The path of the strong is always full of thorns, you can reach the current level." I must have experienced countless dangerous battles that broke through the limits, and as your woman and a former person, I will not be an obstacle for you to reach the top. ”

In the first half of the sentence, Pagliu has the most experience, he has watched this human strength take off step by step, and in two years' work, he has leapt from the strength of a low-level demon to the peak level of the Demon Emperor, and he also has a transformation ability comparable to the mid-level combat power of the Demon Emperor. This is an unimaginable miracle, and the "Great Master Inheritance" is certainly an important reason, but it is even more inseparable from countless cultivation and battles hovering on the edge of life and death.

The fairy dragon's voice then rang out: "But. You don't have to put everything into a mere empire. Even if this empire is gone, what about it. We can go to another place, it's a big deal to escape to a distant area outside the three empires, and open up another space like the Rainbow Valley, if you want Sia or other women, just take it with you. ”

Chen Rui didn't expect that Laura, who has always been a pseudo-natural, would say this. He knew that Lola was still haunted by the fact that he had nearly died with Obsidian on the battlefield. Although Xia is a beloved woman, and Dark Moon is also managed by him, his woman is not only Xia (strictly speaking, Xia is not counted).

"I'm not asking you to run away now, but I'm telling you that we have a way back. My man is not some kind of guy who abandons his companions and only runs around with his head. Laura said, glancing at Pagliu.

"Understood. Chen Rui's heart swelled with warmth, and he nodded honestly.

Seeing the demonstrative glance of Miss Fairy Dragon, Uncle Poison Dragon, who was hit by an arrow in his knee, choked on a mouthful of wine in his throat, you inspire your own man, what is the matter with Uncle Ben?

"I also want my man to be stronger and stronger. You can explore and study more higher-level secrets with me, such as a certain silver box .........", the dragon eye of the poisonous dragon uncle suddenly lit up, and patted Chen Rui's shoulder vigorously: "Common prosperity!

Chen Rui looked at Pagliu with a strange expression, is the next sentence to build a harmonious society?

The next afternoon, the Shadow Empire envoy finally arrived.

This time, it was a man and a woman, and the woman was Lilith who had come to Darkmoon with Isis last time to discuss cooperation. The strength is the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and the man is also Chen Rui's "acquaintance", Teldila, who has fought in the Xilang Mountain Loki incident, is the middle stage of the Demon Emperor.

On the side of the dark moon, in addition to "Agulie", Xia was surrounded by the demon emperors of the imperial capital led by Stiller, and the magistrate Athena and the deformed financial officer Chen Rui were also there. According to Tetnes, the root cause of the Diu Diu mutation is that it devoured the dragon power essence of the red dragon, and the demon fruit behind it induced and refined the dragon power essence of Liliang step by step, according to this reason, the potential of Diu Di is very large.

It's a pity that this amoeba is timid and cowardly, and now that he is in the hands of Chen Rui and others, he is even more unenterprising, but his transformation ability has been discovered to the fullest, and with the cover of the Evil Blue Tears, the secret treasure of the Bellier royal family borrowed from Lomon, even the Demon Emperor can't see through it.

After the two sides finished saluting, Lilith spoke: "Your Royal Highness Eldest Princess, Dark Moon and my Shadow Empire's Blood Thorn Territory have a very good foundation for cooperation, and this time I am here on the order of Catherine Bixia to discuss further in-depth cooperation with Her Highness." ”

Thea immediately understood the meaning: "It's Catherine the Great, not the Bloodthorn Territory?"

"Yes," Lilith smiled behind her thin veil, "Her Highness Thea shocked the Demon Realm in the wilderness of Laceytown, a classic battle that will go down in history. Catherine Bixia was full of praise for Her Highness's bravery and strategy, and wanted to help Her Highness to sweep away domestic obstacles and ascend to the throne of God. ”

"Thank you very much for Catherine the Great's intentions, but the affairs of the Fallen Angel Empire are solved by the Lucifer royal family themselves, and I don't bother with the Shadow Empire, this friendship will be remembered in my heart and become a witness to the two countries going hand in hand. ”

Terdira spoke, her tone rather unkind: "In this way, the Lord of the Dark Moon is about to reject the friendship of our Emperor. ”

Xia is not an emperor now, a lord rejects the friendship of an emperor, this is enough to start a war, but the excuse for war is only in name, if you really want to fight, you will fight if you have no excuse, and Theirdira is just using the topic to exert pressure.

"Hmph!" Stiller let out a cold snort, faintly exuding the aura of a peak demon emperor: "Are you threatening?"

In front of so many powerful Demon Emperors, Terdira was still domineering, and she was clearly not afraid to turn her face. He represents the powerful Shadow Empire, once these Demon Emperors dare to make a move. The entire Fallen Angel Empire will be subject to multiplier retribution.

Chen Rui suddenly thought of the phrase "a weak country has no diplomacy", and diplomatic status is based on the strength of a country, no matter what level it is. Only when one's motherland is truly strong can it wash away the humiliation of history, deter the younger generation, and be invincible on the international stage.

"Our country has always been friendly and cooperative with the Fallen Angel Empire, and we have also signed a peace pact. How do you say 'threat'?" Lilith's face did not change. "Catherine Bixia herself has come out of the difficulties step by step, and naturally understands the hardships of His Highness Xia, so we came from afar with kindness, hoping to help His Highness. ”

Under Athena's hint, Chen Rui, who was deformed, asked a line that was ready to be haode: "What kind of help can Catherine Bixia provide?", Lilith's gaze stopped on "Chen Rui" for a moment, and replied: "Catherine Bixia has begun to accumulate heavy troops in front of Tekura Fortress and in the area of Leia Town. It can go hand in hand to assist His Royal Highness Xia to control the entire empire by force in the first time and ascend the throne smoothly. ”

Lilith knew that it was difficult for the movements of the army in the territory to hide from the eyes and ears of the fallen angels, so she simply said it with a high-sounding reason.

"'Assist'?" is a good word," the real Chen Rui said behind the mask in a changing voice: "There is an old saying in the demon world, there is never anything that is not earned for nothing. So, what kind of reward should we pay in return for this 'help,' should we pay a lot of money, or should we cede some important land?"

"Money and land are not synonymous with true friendship. Lilith still had a touching smile on her face, and the words rang out to everyone. But he is not satisfied with the compensation for land cession.

"In fact, Catherine Bixia does not want money or territorial compensation, but only hopes to work hand in hand with Her Highness Xia to deepen the cooperation between the two countries, including economic and military aspects, we will strengthen trade between the two countries and reduce tax rates. Promote development ......" Lilith said a lot, which sounded like a win-win situation, but in Chen Rui's ears, there were many rudiments of economic warfare in these benefits, and he didn't expect Catherine to have such insight.

"As a partner, we hope to obtain advanced ordnance manufacturing jishu such as Dark Moon's soil improvement jishu, magic crystal cannon, and heavy ballista, including borrowing some exclusive talents, such as this treasurer, Lord Chen Rui......"

Lilith obviously got to the point, and glanced at "Chen Rui" with a smile: "At present, the two princes of the Bloody Empire are facing each other in the north of the Iron Fist Territory, and after Her Royal Highness the Princess ascends the throne, Catherine the Great wants your country to send troops from the Fortress of Wallock to help the Bloody Empire quell the civil strife, of course, the army of the Shadow Empire will enter the territory of your country through the Fortress of Tekula to assist, and our first general Bai Luo will also send troops from the Fortress of Jego to exert pressure." ”

Chen Rui immediately understood Catherine's intentions, the front was to obtain confidential jishu and talents, and the back was simply to use the Fallen Angel Empire and the Blood Demon Empire to fight in order to reap the benefits. She really doesn't need any land rations, and she doesn't need to seize the city, as long as she exhausts the living liliang of the Fallen Angel Empire and the Blood Demon Empire, the territory is not at her fingertips?

Take advantage of the fire to rob, fish in troubled waters, drive tigers and wolves, destroy the false way, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight...... This contains countless strategic calculations, interlocking, Chen Rui is ashamed of himself, judging from this trend, Catherine is determined to take advantage of the weakness of the Fallen Angel Empire.

Xia and the demon emperors of the imperial capital are not fools, those economic and trade cats are just greasy, and everyone can see the sinister intentions of the so-called "cooperation", Xia immediately refused: "Please forgive me for not being able to agree." ”

Lilith was not surprised by Thea's refusal, and said with a smile: "Your Highness said this early, no matter what, Your Highness is only the Lord of the Dark Moon now, and does not represent the will of the entire empire. If Her Highness does not agree, Empress Bixia can change to another collaborator who can truly represent the Fallen Angel Empire, such as ...... Sikari Lucifer, who occupies your imperial capital, or another more sincere royal family. ”

The meaning of the Shadow Empire is very simple, now that the Fallen Angel Empire has no owner, if you don't agree, I can invade with a large army, and support a more obedient puppet to ascend to the throne.

This is a naked threat.

The faces of the demon emperors around Xia suddenly changed, and a murderous aura shrouded Lilith, Lilith seemed to have some kind of secret treasure around her, and she still maintained a calm smile, quite like the momentum of Mount Tai collapsing in front of her.

Xia has already gained the approval of the Sword of the Fallen Angels, defeated Obsidian, and is the recognized heir to the Empire, even if there are Demon Emperors who have their own plans in their hearts, they can't deny this. Now that the Shadow Empire is coming, she is openly threatening the future empress of the Fallen Angel Empire, that is, threatening the entire Fallen Angel Empire, and in front of so many Demon Emperors, she naturally can't sit idly by. ..., the strength of the Shadow Empire is stronger than that of the Fallen Angel Empire, especially in this kind of battle of internal friction, the Fallen Angel Empire has suffered heavy losses, and has been pulled further away by the other two empires, once these two envoys are killed, it is equivalent to cutting off the hope of Zuihou, the Shadow Empire hoarded at the two borders without hesitation to send troops, the so-called lead and move the whole body, although Stiller and other demon emperors are angry in their hearts, they still dare not act rashly.

"What Your Excellency Lilith wants to express is that we have to accept Catherine the Great's 'friendship', and we have to accept it if we don't accept it?" Chen Rui pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to break the increasingly stiff atmosphere.

This sentence was obviously asked knowingly, Lilith smiled and said nothing, and Terdira sneered and spoke: "Your Excellency Agulie, after the last time Xilang Mountain said goodbye in a hurry, I missed Your Excellency very much. ”

"Oh? I don't know...... Has His Excellency Cerdila's golden puppet been repaired?" Chen Rui deliberately provoked, his current star transformation was no longer comparable to that day, and he was not afraid of Terdila.

Everyone knew that this Agulie had actually fought against Termira, and it seemed that the latter had suffered a lot of losses. However, Terdira was not fooled, but added: "Your Excellency's strength is indeed extraordinary, with the God Devouring Mask in hand, I ask myself if I am an opponent." It's just that what I didn't expect was that the ruler of the dignified Beelzebub clan would actually commit himself to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Dark Moon? The phrase 'we' just now was used intimately, and there was no trace of the feud between the two royal families?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Demon Emperors of the Imperial Capital all fell on Chen Rui.

Beelzebub's God-Eater Empire was destroyed by the Fallen Angel Empire, and the two races can be described as a generational feud. There had been rumors that Agureh was a remnant of Beelzebub, but everyone thought it was a rumor.

Now the shadow envoy Terdira himself said that Agulie was the king of Beelzebub and had mastered the God-Eater Mask, and judging from the conversation between the two, Theirdira was defeated under the God-Eater Mask at the beginning, and also caused the golden puppet of the Asmodean royal family to suffer heavy losses.

The fiancΓ© of the eldest princess Thea, who is the future royal husband of the empire, turned out to be the head of the Beelzebub clan!

How could this not be shocking? So what was Agulie Beelzebub's intention in helping Xia like this? What conspiracy was there? Several active Demon Emperors suddenly thought of the fact that one of the reasons for Obsidian's sanction against Xia was "Missing the Fragment of the Devouring God Mask", could it be ......

For a while, many people began to whisper, and the eyes that looked at Xia became complicated. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
