Chapter 733: Crisis
The emissary of the Bloody Empire soon arrives at the Fallen Envoy**.?
Unexpectedly, this envoy brought only two words, which were the original words of Emperor Lei Chan - "surrender"!
This is not a humiliating treaty such as land cession or even indemnity, but a real ultimatum for the death of the country.
Such a condition could not be accepted by either the empress or the ministers of the fallen empire, or even the people.
After the messenger relayed Lei Chan's original words, he "explained" two more sentences. It is true that the Empire originally had an alliance agreement, but it was signed between the Emperor Lei Chan and the regent Obsidian, and now that Obsidian's regime was overthrown by "rebellion", the alliance automatically expired. There is only one way for Sia to submit, and if she refuses, the empire will be wiped out and the royal family of Lucifer will be wiped out.
This kind of provocation and threat with almost no room for anger made the Fallen Empire angry, especially the rebellious act of Lei Chan who replaced Shia as a "non-state army", which was tantamount to not recognizing Xia, the empress who had been recognized by the Fallen Sword. If even this kind of clause can be endured, then the dignity and cohesion of the empire will all be gone, so Xia did not hesitate at all, and directly drove this envoy out of **.
In fact, the so-called envoy is just a formality, and everyone can see that the real purpose of this bloody emperor is very clear, which is war.
It's really war!
Rentus, who had previously seemed confident that Lei Chan was just a bluff, was dumbfounded, and Oliver and Stiller were shocked, but now the most important thing is not to review or be ashamed, but to face the great test that is coming.
Sure enough, after the emissary of the Bloody Empire was expelled from the Fallen Envoy**, the army that had gathered in the territory of the Iron Fist began to act immediately, and the target was the Warlock Fortress where General George was stationed, which made all the members of the Fallen Empire tense their nerves.
"According to the reliable intelligence of the Shadow Ministry, the total number of troops invested in the Iron Fist Territory by the Bloody Empire this time is at least six million, and all of them are elites. ”
Xia's words made all the ministers shocked, and they suddenly became restless.
"How can there be six million elites!Where did the blood come from so many troops, didn't Alyus and Edmund just start a civil war?
"If there really is so much military power, how can the Vallock Fortress withstand it?"
Xia sighed: "It's a pity that this information has been repeatedly confirmed. What Alius and Edmund could mobilize before was only Liliang on the surface of the bloody evil, and these were the real hole cards that Lei Chan had been operating for many years. ”
Although after the fall of the White Night, under the mediation of Catherine, Lei Chan joined the Triple Alliance Agreement, but over the years he has never stopped the expansion of military power, whether it is overtly or secretly, I believe that the Shadow Empire is the same, only when he is strong, can he get real security. It is a pity that the Empire has been infighting for many years, and compared to the other two empires, it has done almost nothing.
Although this does not exclude the secret hands of the two empires, as well as external erosion such as blood annihilation, Obsidian's talent is indeed mediocre, whether it is economic or military, the speed of development is far behind the other two countries. In order to consolidate his rule, most of the energy of this regent was used to suppress dissent and internal strife, especially in the war against the Dark Moon, which greatly attrition caused the entire empire to lose most of the elite - don't move forward, but go backwards, this disadvantage is no longer as simple as two minus one equals one.
If it weren't for the rapid development of Dark Moon's economy after Xia came to power, and the military Liliang began to recover gradually, there was no room to resist the bloody empire at present, the question is, can it really be "resisted" this time?
This time is completely different from the last time the Shadow Empire pressed the territory, Lei Chan is really sending troops, and it seems that this bloody emperor is determined to expose the fangs that have been hidden for many years.
"This battle is inevitable, what we need now is not to question the number and liliang of enemy invasion, but how to face enemy invasion!" "Sarandi said: "If this battle is really a bloody outpouring of the nest, then Lei Chan has more than six million elites in his hands, and there are also high-level powerhouses who don't know how many!"
"What about Lei Chan's original entry?" Oliver suddenly asked a question that made everyone a little frightened, will this strongest man in the demon world be able to drive in person?
Xia spoke: "The current intelligence shows that Lei Chan seems to be in charge, and there is no tendency to pro-conquest for the time being. According to analysis, it should be wary of the Shadow Empire...... Speaking of the Shadow Empire, there is also bad news, Catherine used military exercises as an excuse to hoard heavy troops in the Bloodthorn Territory and the Saige Territory, and the targets should be Tekula Fortress, Red Shadow Territory, or Darkmoon Territory. This time, there is a good chance that we will face a two-front battle. ”
In fact, the relationship between countries is like this, and the so-called "friendship" is only based on interests, and once interests are transcended, then the mask of friendship can be torn off at any time.
In other words, the Shadow Empire is weak, and as long as it can get enough benefits, the Fallen Empire will also fall into the well without hesitation.
The situation now becomes, then, that the Empire will not only have to contend head-on with an almost invincible enemy, but also with a knife from the back from an "ally".
This battle, before it was fought, was already doomed to lose.
Maybe this is a war that will change the pattern of the Demon Realm, the powerful Blood Empire and the low-key Shadow Empire don't know who will be the winner of Zuihou, but there is no doubt that no matter who wins or loses, the Fallen Empire will be the first to go out.
"The second general, Geraint, has fully activated the defense of the Tekura Fortress, and the Red Shadow Lord Zhuoche and the Dark Moon Lord Athena are also actively mobilizing troops to defend, but this time, the forces we can divide to the White Feather Territory have been greatly reduced. ”
Xia still seemed very calm, as a qualified imperial ruler, even in a critical situation, he could not panic, at least on the surface, otherwise the following would be really chaotic: "The situation is extremely unfavorable to us, if we fight head-on, we will not be able to resist the enemy alone, let alone suffer from the enemy on the belly and back." At present, the only way to fight to the death is to unite the Shadow Empire against the Bloody Empire. ”
"This is the best chance for annexation, how could the Shadow Empress, who is the first wise person in the Demon Realm, agree?" Right Prime Minister Stiller shook his head: "Besides, Emperor Lei Chan has also sent an envoy in advance, and he must have already discussed how to divide up our country." ”
"In any case, this is a hope, and we must not give up...... Due to the urgency of the situation, the prince Agulie is already on his way to the Shadow Empire. Thea stood up from his throne with an indomitable look of determination in his eyes, "The glory of the fallen sword will guide us to fight to the end, I will personally go to the Vallock fortress to supervise the battle, and Sia Lucifer swears to live and die with the Empire!"
Castle of Waloch.
The sky is overcast.
General George had already received the news that the reinforcements and logistical supplies led by the peak demon emperor of the royal family had rushed to the fortress, but his frowning brows were not relieved in the slightest, because he, the first general of the fallen empire, would face an unprecedented severe test.
A warm hand reached over and took the palm of his back behind his back, and even with his eyes closed, George knew who the master of this hand was.
"Gloria, what's going on with the Blood Army. ”
"The enemy is currently camping and assembling in front of Black Cloud Town, counting the Blood Red Regiment led by the first general Gustav who arrived this afternoon, the number of enemy troops has exceeded two million, although there is no attack at present, but the number is still increasing, the residents of Black Cloud Town have all been evacuated, and all the magic dark piles have been opened. ”
"The garrison of the Vallock Fortress is 500,000, the ** batch of reinforcements is 300,000, and the army of the White Feather Territory is 1.1 million, although the number seems to be not much different, but the bloody army is all the elite of one as ten, in addition to the garrison of the Wallock Fortress can compete with it, the ** reinforcements or the army of the White Feather are much inferior, if you fight head-on, our side will be defeated, and this is only the vanguard of the enemy. I didn't expect Lei Chan to attack with all his strength so determined, this battle is likely to be a battle for zuihou in my life, you ......"
"Don't say stupid things like letting me go," the red dragon man snorted coldly, but his red eyes were filled with tenderness that was completely different from his usual coldness, "Do you remember that sentence back then? No matter what happens, we are always together." ”
George was silent for a while, did not speak, just held the hand tightly in the palm of his hand.
"At the beginning, the new ordnance and equipment that Chen Rui sent in batches have all been assembled in place, and the defense of the Vallock Fortress is much stronger than before, even if Lei Chan is there in person, it will not be able to break through it for a while. The red dragon husband leaned lightly on her husband's back: "As for Athena...... You don't have to worry too much, your daughter is older, and she has found a man who is enough to protect her, even if she really encounters any danger, with Chen Rui here, plus those dragons, you can escape the worst. ”
George nodded: "The Shadow Empire is different from the Blood Demon Empire, but it is also not to be underestimated, I never imagined that my daughter and I would face the first strongest person in the Demon Realm and the first wise man in the Demon Realm respectively." However, Dark Moon's Liliang is not what it used to be, and there is such a dangerous place as the Valan Fortress, the Shadow Empire should not choose Dark Moon as the first attack point, and it is likely that the primary target will fall on the relatively weak Red Shadow Territory. If our side can effectively withstand the attack of the bloody army, whether it is psychologically or strategically, the pressure on Athena's side will be relatively much less......"
"General!" George's right-hand man, Francis, hurriedly reported: "The bloody army has begun to pull out of camp and advance forward!"
"It's a good time! Order the whole army to prepare for battle! Let the so-called elites of the Bloody Empire see what an impregnable and strongest fortress our Vallock Fortress is! For the Empire, for the Empress Bixia!"
George took a deep breath, and his whole body bloomed with a strong fighting spirit, and the voice containing Liliang was transmitted far away. As close as the Red Dragon Husband and his right-hand man, and as far as the soldiers from all over the fortress, they all burned with a strong fighting spirit.
The first general looked at the dark clouds in the distant sky, and added in his heart: For you, my most beloved daughter!
