Chapter 368: The Absent Winners

The starry expedition has finally come to an end.

At the end of this war, which was not too long, but the battle was extremely fierce, there were countless strange and even strange phenomena.

For example, from the temple where the second spine of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth was located, the incomparably powerful spiritual power that erupted.

What kind of existence can bring such a huge shock?

For example, the smell of sulfur that once filled the air, and the figure of the winged demon that someone once saw.

Could it be that the demons have quietly infiltrated their power into the starry ocean?

Another example is that the original invincible Mind Flayer demons turned into phantoms one by one at the most intense moment of the battle, as if they were swallowed by some kind of power, and they all disappeared, leaving only clothes and equipment in one place.

What kind of curse is this that can kill such powerful beings, including the sect leader?

One mystery after another fills people's minds.

And among all the strangeness, the biggest is undoubtedly the disappearance of the "Iron Triangle" of the Falcon Group.

"Sword of Victory and Protection" Midi Asrex.

"Queen of Magic Bullets" Fina Hamilton.

"The Witch of the Mist" Alice Outloboth.

These three legendary figures from the Arad continent, the commander of the Falcon Regiment, and the ruler of the Belmar Kingdom, all disappeared at the same time in this battle, which immediately caused an uproar.

All kinds of bizarre rumors emerge one after another.

The forces on all sides are ready to move.

Even the shape on the Arad continent is beginning to show signs of change.

Many even believe that the Hayabusa won a brief victory, but lost all possibilities for the future. Because the Falcon Regiment, which has lost the "Iron Triangle", sooner or later will completely collapse.

However, in the midst of the turmoil in the outside world, the Hayabusa group remained as calm as ever.

This is due to the letters left by Midi and others.

In these letters, Midi predicts the future with great accuracy in scribbled handwriting, and provides strategies for how to deal with them.

At the same time, Fina and Alice also explained the pressure that the Belmar Kingdom was about to face, as well as the various points of magic research.

Therefore, even if the three of them have disappeared, the instructions they left behind are still enough for the Hayabusa group to deal with the current difficulties.

The most important thing is that although the Falcon Regiment has lost the supreme leader who single-handedly created it, it has not fallen into a situation where the dragons are leaderless.

On the contrary, at this very moment, there is still an extremely talented commander sitting in the middle of it.

Reinhardt Sgart Heinrich, the fourth prince of the Delos Empire.

This is the agent appointed by Midi himself.

As the most elite legion of the Belmar Kingdom, the Falcon Regiment was born to fight against the Delos Empire, and for such a prince of the Delos Empire, it was natural to have a strong sense of rejection at first.

Even if Reinhardt had a letter of appointment written by Midi himself, most of the upper echelons of the Falcon Regiment did not welcome his arrival.

However, in just one week of rectification, the fourth prince directly made everyone obedient with a vigorous and resolute attitude.

His approach was simple - he personally issued a statement stating that Belmar's territory was inviolable.

All the small actions made by the Delos Empire in the recent period of time have been beaten back.

Then summoned the Imperial diplomat in Belmar to the palace, and then reprimanded him.

Although he has not yet reached the point where he has broken with the empire, there is no doubt that in terms of position, he has completely accepted the identity of the acting head of the Falcon Regiment and completely abandoned the identity of the prince of the empire.

"But I really didn't expect you to make this choice. In Sky City, in the new headquarters of the Falcon Regiment, Wiseman deliberately teased on the side, "Is it worth it?"

Although it is said that the relationship between the Delos Empire and the Belmar Kingdom is still an alliance, everyone knows that when the "Iron Triangle" of the Falcon Regiment disappears for no reason, this balance situation will definitely not last long.

But at this time, Reinhardt stepped up and stood on Belmar's side with great determination.

With such a genius commander in charge who knows the Delos Empire well, presumably this delicate balance will continue, right?

Not only that, but the air warships that descended from the sky and the sea of clouds in time played a strong deterrent role.

However, as a price, Reinhardt also completely turned against the royal family of the Delos Empire.

Sword Emperor Yu Lun was furious.

And before, the imperial nobles that Reinhardt had spent a lot of money to win over had all drawn a line with him.

It can be said that no one thinks that the fourth prince is qualified to compete for the throne anymore.

In a way, he has been regarded as a traitor to the Empire, and all his previous efforts have been in vain.

Yiqiē, all because he accepted Midi's commission and became the acting head of the Falcon Regiment.

"Is it worth it?" Hearing Wiseman's question, the corners of Reinhardt's mouth showed a confident smile, "Aren't you knowingly asking? Of course it's worth it, and it's great value!"

This is a group of falcons!

The most elite legion in the entire continent of Arad!

Coupled with the Rothschild Chamber of Commerce in the sky and the sea of clouds, the bloody purification in the stars, now, these forces have become the help of Reinhardt, just because he has become the agent of Midi!

This is real power.

What is the joyful attitude of the father compared to these? What is the fake support of the imperial nobles? What is the short-sighted evaluation of the imperial people?

In the days that followed Midi, Reinhardt had long understood that instead of dealing with those scheming politicians, instead of racking his brains to think about any conspiracy, it was better to use the sword in his hand to cut a whole new world!

Of course, Reinhardt was very self-aware, and he knew that he was completely incomparable to Midi in terms of force.

But now, with the strongest force delivered to him by his own hands, how could he not accept it?

Not only to accept it, but also to put your heart and soul into it, to grow it!

It may seem that Reinhardt will never be able to win the throne of the Delos Empire, but only he knows best, and it is not until this moment that he is truly qualified to compete for the throne.

"Wait, my brothers, one day, I will return to the imperial capital, to the palace, and then give you a satisfactory answer. Reinhardt's eyes lit up with ambition.

Then, he glanced overhead, at the location of the distant sky and the sea of clouds, the position of the starry ocean.

Midi Asrex, since you have given me this incomparably sharp sword, then I will not fail your trust, and I will do my best to make it shine on the continent of Arad!

Reinhardt swore in his heart.

"But why did you leave, don't just die, Midi. Subconsciously, the fourth prince muttered what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, that guy isn't that easy to hang up, absolutely. Wiseman shrugged his shoulders and prophesied in his usual cynical tone.

The necromancer's eyes were shining with anticipation.

At the same time, when Reinhardt finally succeeded in reaching the summit of the Falcon Regiment, a conversation between girls in the sky and sea of clouds had just begun.

"That guy, he just ran away like that! And he ran away with those two women! How could he be so irresponsible! How could he leave his country like this! How could he leave the soldiers who fought side by side with him like this! There is no humanity! Is there any morality! Is there no principle! Still not a man!"

The Bloody Purification Saintess, as well as the Falcon Regiment's military leader in the Sky Cloud Sea District, Avril "Shadow Serpent", let out an angry roar after pouring a bottle of soju from the Arad continent.

"Sister, you actually want to say...... Why did you leave you behind?"

On the side, the second seat of the Magic Research Department of the Falcon Regiment, "White Snake" Emile sighed deeply and looked at her sister with a complicated look.

"Hmph, bastard, wait for him to come back, see how good I want him to look. Avril, who was drunk, suddenly showed a hideous sneer, "I'm going to have a showdown with him in front of that Fina and Alice, I gave him so much sweetness in the sky and clouds, how can I just forget it!"

It's obvious that you're seducing, okay!

Victoria and Emile glanced at each other, smiling wryly.

But to be honest, they actually envy Avril.

At least, she drinks a small amount.

Therefore, as long as you taste a little shochu, you will be able to speak the truth without presumption.

So, how do you feel about "that person"?

The two of them asked themselves, and at the same time secretly made up their minds - when "that person" returned, they must face their true feelings.

The Arad continent is turbulent, and the situation in the sky and sea of clouds is changing.

Far away in the middle of nowhere, a red-haired girl had just taken her first steps from the light of her teleportation.

In front of her unfolded was a vast world full of ruins.

The dry, hot air whimpered in the air, and the sand on the ground reflected the scorching sun.

In the distance is a huge city, much larger than Huttonmar, the capital of Belmar.

However, this is a city that has long since died, full of broken walls, the buildings are full of damp and dark smells, and the originally uniform streets have long been eroded by the years, and have become obsolete.

In the distance, Fina could see huge towers nearly a thousand meters high, standing in this barren world.

The outer sides of these towers, like branches, are lined with sleek leaves that angle as the sun tilts.

It's like a huge sunflower, greedily sucking the sun.

And in the farthest distance, on the distant horizon, is an extremely bright long line that runs through heaven and earth.

Fina squinted her eyes and looked closely, only to realize that it was not a "line" at all, but the same tower.

However, the surface of this tower reflects the sunlight like a mirror, and it is high enough to reach into the clouds, so from such a distance, it looks like a long line hanging from the sky.

It was a Tower of Babel.

Abandoned cities, towers that draw sunlight, complete miracles to the sky, this world, seems to be very interesting.

Thinking like this, Fina felt the light of fate surging in her heart, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Don't worry, Midi, Alice, I'll go through the trials of this world, and then I'll go back to you. Wait for me!"

As she spoke, Fina's red hair like autumn maple flew in the hot wind, like a flame that would never be extinguished.

In another unknown area, the black-haired girl slowly walked out of the teleportation array, took a deep breath, and then looked into the distance.

Alice's eyes leaped into an endless shade of green.

Bean green, tea green, green onion, jade green, stone green, leaf green, dark green, spring green, winter green, tender green, brown green, blue green, olive green, apple green, moss green, gray lake green, crystal green, peacock green, fluorescent green......

Bright green, deep green, translucent green, shadow green, cascading green, curled up in front of the black-haired girl.

This is a huge primeval forest like a green ocean, and from its grass and trees, there is a vibrant atmosphere from ancient times.

In this forest, there are many stone statues hundreds of meters high, rising out of thin air.

These stone statues are all heads.

There are heads of all kinds of beasts, as well as human ones, and even heads of various legendary creatures, such as dragons.

Who carved these gigantic heads?

Or are these not stones at all?

The black-haired girl had no answer, but she could feel the immensity and antiquity of the colossus conveyed from them.

Not only that, but in the distant sky, among the mountains that stretched across the entire primeval forest, the sensitive Alice could even detect that several eyes seemed to be looking for an uninvited guest who would disturb the tranquility of the forest.

The ancient green sea, the majestic but strange colossus, the gaze from the distant mountains, this world, seems to be very interesting.

Alice thought so, feeling the light of fate surging in her heart, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Just show me how wonderful the world is. Then, when I have passed the guò test, I will surely see you again, Midi and Fina. ”

As she spoke, a red mist of blood suddenly surged around Alice, and the Rose Hound appeared from it, prostrate beside her mistress. The black-haired girl jumped onto the back of the hound like a rider, and with a soft snap, the mount under her crotch rose into the clouds.

And when the choice of fate sent the heirs of the Holy Blood to their respective places of fate and trial, a meteor pierced the darkness and landed in a realm of no light.

From the brilliance of the meteor, Midi slowly walked out.

It's a zone where there's never sunlight, and the cold rocks are the sky and the horizon, and the sharp malice that pervades them has twisted them into hideous fangs and vast labyrinths.

This is the dark region, the underground world closest to the demon world.

"I really didn't expect you to be teleported here. Lotus's voice came into Midi's mind from the dagger "Golden Forgiveness", "Dark Regions, should I say that this is good luck or bad luck?"

"Luckily or badly, I must overcome all the enemies that stand in my way, and then return to them. ”

Midi replied categorically.

Feeling the reassuring fetters of fate coming from countless spatial barriers, he took great strides towards the darkness.
