But as soon as their lips opened, before the cry could be heard, they were already pressed against their respective throats. ∑

Where hundreds of pairs of eyes meet, there is a man.

A woman.

Not the woman wrapped in a black burqa and leaning on a man, but a woman dressed in heavy armor that belonged to the Royal Guard...... Although the heavy armor completely obscured the curves of her body, and even in the eyes of most people, she was just a figure slowly walking towards the emperor's back, but the moment their eyes met with it, the judgment of 'woman' had been deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone who saw her.

It was indescribably alluring.

She is just taking a step forward, but every shaking of her body is a naked temptation, guiding the most primitive instinct in people's hearts...... The knights' supposed firm will melted like snowflakes in the sun, their blood was even more vigorous, and their hearts were beating like drums, but this time it was no longer because of incentives, but because of **.

They were awakened by a scream.

It was as if the whistling of the whip dancing across the sky came from a pale thread, which was brought about by the division of the air by force, and the Chosen Knights invariably widened their eyes as they watched the white thread pass over the Emperor's illusion like a real whip!

And after the scream, there is a crisp but grand crackling!

The tall and magnificent, emperor's figure, trembled at this voice, and fell down with a bang!

The sudden change made each knight's mind stiffen for a moment, and his mind was numb, like a cold wind passing through their skulls. Blowing straight into it, the biting chill pulling their consciousness back. A pair of eyes that had just been excited, and then intoxicated, were now full of doubt. I don't know what this scene in front of me represents.

The Great Emperor, was ...... Slapped?

Is this true?

But as if to verify their doubts, a second scream came at this moment—it drew a full arc in the space, and terminated heavily on the ribs of the illusion! And the phantom, which was originally only composed of light, actually opened a wound! The jewels inlaid on the splendid garments were scattered, and the surface of the satin was torn to reveal the pale skin beneath. Then the skin is red, swollen and broken, and even the splattered plasma is extremely real!

And then, the third whip, again!

This time it was the back, and, more ferocious than the first and second, the long whip rolled up with splattered blood. The trembling body looked extremely thin, and the tremendous force enveloped the body, slamming it to the ground, swinging up a thick layer of ashes. Even let the earth shake with it!

It's all happening so fast and incredible.

It was only then that the shaking of the ground seemed to finally make the knights understand. It wasn't their hallucinations that were born in front of them, so. They raised their weapons in an attempt to free their emperor.

"Show me, you lowly fools!" snorted still with a feminine softness. It was not loud at all, but the order was not obeyed by anyone.

It is impossible not to comply -

At that command, all the knights were completely pinned to the spot! their hands and feet were paralyzed, their bodies trembled, and it became almost difficult to stand!

"I'm going to make you laugh, Lord Edward. So, let's talk about you. ”

"My business? It's simple, how long do you want to play with these things, to what extent?"

"What's the matter? Lord Edward...... Are you interested in any of these......?" No, the princess of hell, the sixth lord?Glesia tilted her head slightly, revealing a sweet smile that overwhelmed all beings: "Of course, a human emperor, and he once ruled the big 6, it is true that this identity alone will make the blow feel a little different......"

Edward frowned.

The devil's princess obviously didn't think it was an inappropriate thing to say, and in one step, she was behind the psychic warlock, and she whispered a sweet scent in his ear:

"However, I'm also very interested in your way of playing, oh, her words, must not be able to satisfy you, right? So, do you want to try it with me? Although it's a bit of a pity that it's not my own body, well, this body, you also have a little bit of interest, right? Oh, this pretty young lady, do you want to play together?"

The Marquis Maria trembled, her lips had been bitten white, and the face that was close at hand was so smiling that even as a woman, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating, but it was this kind of bewilderment that made her understand that the 'female knight' in front of her had become something she couldn't understand, and even her eyes and the slightly reddened pupils were paired, and she was cold all over, and she could only hold the man's arm tightly under the robe, hugging him tightly, as if she wanted to draw more warmth from him.

But the man's voice was even more cold.

"That's the end of the play, if it goes on, it won't be so pleasant. He said, the coldness and sharpness in his words made Glesia, who was the incarnation, subconsciously shock!

Yes, this farce should come to an end.

From the time Glesia was revealed, everything had lost its suspense, and the devil princess's previous actions were nothing more than a futile attempt to unfavorable circumstances.

However, the initiative still inevitably falls into the hands of the other party...... In the main material plane, neither the emperor nor Glesia himself had the strength to compete with this human race—even though the Nine Layers of Hell never lacked great power, the current situation obviously did not allow that level of power to enter this world.

Otherwise, they would have to fight against more than just Edward.

The Devil Princess fell silent, glancing at the remnant who was still bound to the ground, and gritted her teeth - everything was messed up by this damn fool!

Although it is obvious, she is also not able to absolve all responsibilities. But when she received this emperor from the hands of the Lord of the Nine Prisons, she had no idea that this guy was so crazy...... If it's just hatred of Edward, then it's not a big deal. The results of the previous cooperation were not bad. At least that human wouldn't get too deep into it for a small offense. However, this fool actually reached out to the people next to Edward. Moreover, he is still his heir!

Grathia knew. Unlike demons, who rarely produce direct offspring, humans are only slightly less fertile than orcs, so in the eyes of many humans with sufficient ability, offspring are just a kind of consumables, so Isgandar's approach is not stupid.

He just had no idea how powerful that human being was!

This is the same with this toad that has survived for thousands of years by the power of hell, but has been trapped in the main material plane! Even now, he did not know what a troublesome problem he had created, although he kept begging loudly in the language of his soul. But still completely confused.

It would be nice if handing this guy over to Edward would put an end to this trouble, but alas, Glacia was impressed by the damn psychic warlock in front of him - his greed, once at work, would not even be able to fill the space of the bottomless abyss.

Of course, gnashing your teeth will not help you in the slightest with the trouble ahead.

"Well, then, Lord Edward, my men have indeed caused you 'some' inconvenience, so. I can offer you some 'reasonable' compensation. The devil princess smiled lightly, but bit the words again: "What do you think?"

"Just give that guy to me. ”

Glesia's pupils shrank.

Of course, she wouldn't be naïve enough to think that the other party just wanted the remnant - if it was just that, he would have done it himself.

But if it means something else, it's undoubtedly the worst.

This guy wants all the power of Isgandar. Includes all of his new subordinates on earth, and all the related stuff in this kingdom!

"It's not going to be easy...... You know. It's a new toy that I just got my hands on. In just an instant, the charm had faded from the face of the devil princess: "As long as there are them." It shouldn't be a problem for them to conquer one or two countries of the main material plane, or half a big 6. Of course, I wouldn't mind lending you these if you're interested, and the results are ......."

"I'm not interested. Edward interrupted her indifferently: "Lend it to me, those celestial creatures are indispensable to trouble me, not to mention, I still need to re-transform those sources of power, the power consumption in this alone is already very annoying, even if you give it to me for nothing, I still have to think about letting you take a little something, if you want to make a fuss here, you can avoid it, and it is not so troublesome to start a new stove." ”

"Hehehehehehe...... Your Excellency Edward, why do you have to shirk it like this? Without them, those celestial creatures wouldn't have come to your troubles? Even if this kind of thing was used to deceive Maman's stupidity, he wouldn't believe it!"

The words were interrupted, and the devil princess laughed even more happily:

"The main thing the Lord of Dawn's subordinates are looking for is you, the being who is the equivalent of an ancient evil thing...... And we're just a little bit of a thing they need to deal with, and if we work together, it's in our best interest for both of us, isn't it?"

"I could have given up on this place and walked away, this place is not mine anyway. But what will those celestial creatures do with this place in the future...... Is this a simple question that I need to remind you?"

Grathea's face remained unchanged, but once again fell into a deep silence.

If you give it to me, there are some benefits, otherwise the celestial creatures 'maybe' will come, and then it will be the result of the burning of jade, and of course there will be no harm to me, and there will be no benefit - so I am just avoiding waste.

A smile appeared on the man's face, as if to convey such an odious message.

Tightly arranged, long waiting, and finally being snatched by this guy with his outstretched hand, and he can still put on such a 'compassion' gesture - it makes people wonder who is the devil here! But there is no doubt that the more tragic thing is that Gracia has no choice at all -

Even if the magic circle in the Imperial City is well protected and Isgandar's remnant soul resurrection goes unnoticed, this guy can definitely make this matter even bigger until he achieves his goal. What's more, the five Otherworldly Divine Servants disappeared out of thin air like this, and the Lord of Dawn, who had greatly increased his power in the main material plane, chose to ignore it...... That's the real miracle!

Of course. Everything was destroyed by the creatures of the celestial realm, and Glesia couldn't afford it—

In fact. She knew it from the moment she asked for everything she had here. This is already a set of dispensable, innocuous plans, the final result is only related to her evaluation in Asmodeirs's heart, if this remnant soul can be allowed to dominate the big 6 again, then the Lord of the Nine Prisons will naturally give her more power, and if it fails, it will just be the end of the plan a thousand years ago.

But in this way, in the heart of the Lord of the Nine Hells, such a Glesia can still only be a 'princess'. and not a qualified 'lord'.

"Soul. ”

Grasia looked up, a flash of fire in her eyes.

"Isn't this what you need? and you don't need a lot of it, so you don't have to use such a conspicuous means, do you?" Edward chuckled, "and ...... What do you think of celestial creatures or something?"

That's certainly the price he offered.

Indeed, all the actions of the devils are only for the sake of stealing souls. Especially now that the battle between Heaven Mountain and Hell has started directly, and for the ambitious Glesia, the High Devil shaped by a high-quality soul is of course what she needs, but if she can get the fallen celestial creatures directly from Lansendel......

Like in recent times. Like the many fallen angels that Grathia has seduced from the side of Heavenly Mountain, or if you release some kind words to the guy in front of you, the result is not necessarily so unacceptable?

"You want to take control of this place?"

"Pretty much. ”

The Psychic Warlock smiled slightly, "Give me the throne here, oh." No, just leave it to my son. ”

......

Stellaria City.

The city chosen by the new empire as the temporary royal capital has been around for 700 years. It gradually spreads out from a small circular inner city, with three layers of inner and outer urban areas and ramparts. The cross-shaped streets are in the middle of the street, which can almost be called a model of imperial city architecture. The empire was founded on knights, so every city must be built with wide cross streets, leading to the city's four square gates, and there are large and small squares on the road stage for knights to gather and add to the streets, and when the city gates are opened, the enemy will have to face an army of knights who are charging with all their might.

It's just that now that the owner has changed, this rule has disappeared.

In front of the central castle, the 500-foot square of the Private Square had been smooth as a mirror, and a huge spatial circle was carved on the cyan stone slab, half a foot deep underground, and a six-inch wide groove constructed the umbra of the circle of 500 feet, and the same depth. The three-inch-wide texture depicts the pentagram, the grooves are filled with a shimmering pastel-luster Mithril alloy, and thousands of runes of different shapes are arranged in every inch of the corners and centers of these pentagrams, constructing a cumbersome, mysterious and formidable giant formation, around the square, on the points of the pentagrams, each stands a star-holding mage, and a stream of lightning like lightning extends from their feet, sweeping the entire circle, bringing up layers of ripples in the space that can make ordinary people frightened.

The light flowed, constructing a human image in the center of the circle, and Daemon Long Blackhawk froze his nerves, carefully stepping on the glittering magic symbols, walking quickly to one of the nodes, and after signaling to the executing mage where, the next moment, the Duke of the kingdom had stepped out of the light of the circle, facing the gate of the central hall of the castle.

"Inform Your Majesty that Duke Daemon Long Blackhawk has asked to see you. ”

"The Duke Meets ......"

Stepping into the two open doors, walking on the soft and wide red carpet inside, although the hall is wide, after all, it is not very deep, but the advance is only ten feet, the duke, who is at the peak of his body and spirit, feels his breathing becoming more and more rapid, as if there is a force deep into the bone marrow, giving him a great sense of oppression, and the oppression becomes heavier and heavier as he advances, and when the shadow of the throne falls in front of him, the duke almost rolls over and falls to his knees.

In fact, it didn't look like a throne, but a mountain of swords.

Countless swords are piled up, countless blades are weaved, countless sharp edges are erected, and swords are sharpened...... They stood as huge, heavy, dark, twisted creatures, like a porcupine with all its fur on it, nay, a pine tree with no branches, only leaves, the one that almost touched the top of this hall, a back structure nearly twenty feet high, with countless fangs extended, and the bladeless sword was inlaid into twenty-three metal steps, and at the top of this staircase, the king sat on that high throne, looking down on everyone...... A towering monster in the hall, ugly, asymmetrical

......

"Forget the celebratory ceremony, use the collected swords to make me a new throne. ”

This was the first order His Majesty gave to his subjects after the destruction of the city of Shandria.

Ask for a throne made of smelting the opponent's weapons...... This is not surprising, there are many monarchs in history who have done this - and I have to say that this time the victory of Tumenes was so glorious, defeating the city, destroying the enemy, and even directly destroying a kingdom!

The Jin Jinhua Praetorian Guards captured in the city breaking battle alone numbered more than 3,000 people, and the weapons in the city's arsenal were piled up...... (To be continued!)
