Emperor Xiu 6432.

In the 24th year of the war between the Human Empire and the Moths, the advance of the battle line has become more and more difficult.

The decapitation operation proposed by the Lord of War had caused heavy losses to the Skeleton Moths, but the Skeleton Moths quickly adjusted their combat mode to respond, and strengthened the protection of the Skeleton Moth's Brood, which greatly reduced the success rate of decapitation operations carried out through space beacon delivery.

Today, the decapitation operation has been abandoned.

But the war continues.

Stuck in the quagmire of war, which is an outcome that the empire of mankind does not want to see.

The Protracted War is a resource burning war that competes for the bottom of the world, and the Human Empire has a huge inventory of resources, but the rival Skeleton Moth Clan now occupies the sacred well of the Land of Legends.

With the amount of resources produced by the god well, the Skeleton Moth Nest can create an endless number of troops to participate in the war at will.

Faced with the quagmire of war, the Lord of War presided over a new round of war conferences.

Legend of the sea, the border.

The Dark Emperor Room.

This is an internal space built by the Dark Emperor God, the commander of the 46th Legion of the Human Legion, and is dedicated to the exchange meeting between the Legion Commanders.

The entire space was shrouded in a deep black, with only the hedrons embedded in the ceiling emitting a dim glow.

At that moment, one of the hedrons was lit.

Suddenly, a windless Emperor Xiu flag appeared in the center of the space, exuding majesty and sacredness, and then the conference round table that could accommodate more than 100 people appeared from the darkness.

The conference table is made of energy, the surface is smooth as a mirror, and each corresponding conference chair is inlaid with the identity mark of the corresponding corps commander.

The blue Warhammer Badge for the Lord of War, the Lightning Badge for the Lord of Divine Punishment, and the Skull Badge for the Lord of Death...... The seats of the commanders of each regiment were lit up in turn.

At this moment, the seat representing the Lord of War burst into flames.

A figure descended into the Dark God Space and appeared on the meeting seat of the Lord of War.

The contours of the woman's face are clearly defined in the dim environment, like jade polished over the years, exuding a unique charm, the eyebrows are full of heroism, the eyebrows are slender and thick, like two sharp swords, there seems to be infinite war intent burning in the eyes, and it gives people a sense of nobility and inviolability, the slightly raised corners of the mouth have a hint of provocation, the long black hair is tied behind her head at will, and a few strands of hair flutter without wind, adding a bit of casualness.

Healthy sun-kissed skin is like steel, tough and radiant.

After the divine shadow condensed, a powerful aura swept through the entire dark god space, as if it was a queen who controlled the entire world.

After the appearance of the Lord of War, An An, the rest of the Legion Captain's Chairs were lit up in turn, taking on different states in the dark.

The Seat of the Lord of Death shrouded in the black mist of death, the Seat of the Lord of Divine Descent shrouded in purple flames, and the Seat of the Lord of Slaughter shrouded in blood...... Except for the seat of Lei Yan, the Lord of Divine Punishment who guarded the Emperor's main city, which was not lit, the strength of the rest of the legion commanders descended almost at the same time.

One after another, blurred phantoms condensed in the dark god space.

After the 111 legion commanders who participated in this meeting arrived, An An's eyes swept over the group of legion leaders:

"Brothers, our war with the Moths has been going on for 24 years, what do you think about the next direction of the war?"

In the face of the inquiry, the Bone Shatterer Legion Leader, who was wearing the bone armor, spoke at this time:

"Protracted war is the biggest advantage of the Skeleton Moth Clan, even if you can win in the end, you will have to pay a heavy price, and you can't hold the Skeleton Moth Clan's Shenjing resource land if you take it, so it's better to choose a desperate battle and annihilate the Skeleton Moth Clan in one go."

Hearing this, the Shadow Legion Leader, who was sitting not far away, shook his head:

"How difficult it is to take down the Skeleton Moth Clan in one go, we chose to gradually encroach on the territory of the Skeleton Moth Clan, didn't we want to take the Skeleton Moth Clan with as few casualties as possible, and at this time, we suddenly chose to fight to the death to decide the victory, it is undoubtedly a gamble, betting that we can win at the lowest cost, it is too risky."

"I also think that the war has to go on according to the current model, although we suffer losses in a protracted war, but there are always resources and troops in the rear, and the advantage of war is always on our side, from the perspective of defense after taking the territory of the Moth Clan in the future, this is the best choice when the consumption and supply are almost equal." The Mirage Captain tapped his fingers on the table and spoke his thoughts.

At this time, the leader of the Black Vulture Legion, who was sitting on the left, shook his head:

"I don't agree with your opinion, I think Broken Bones is right, the consumption of a protracted war is too heavy, it's better to take down the Skeleton Moth Clan through a decisive battle, I always think that the Skeleton Moth Clan is playing us, it seems that we have an advantage, but in fact this is just a conspiracy of the Skeleton Moth Clan to let us continue to encroach on the plan, the purpose is to exhaust our heritage in this way, so choosing to continue the war of attrition is not a gamble, we don't know what the real combat strategy of the Skeleton Moth Clan is."

Faced with a protracted battle or a decisive battle, the commanders of the corps expressed their opinions one after another.

When there was a conflict of ideas, some legion commanders even slapped the table and angrily rebuked the other party's stupid ideas.

As the commander of the Combined Legion, An An leaned his elbows against the conference table, crossed his fingers in front of him, propped himself up and did not say anything, just watching the quarrel between the legion commanders, absorbing the opinions and information of all parties.

A few hours later, in the face of the increasingly chaotic meeting, An An suddenly slapped the table, and suddenly a violent aura swept the entire space.

"Sit down."

As the god of the primordial, An An's prestige was undoubted, the meeting space was silent for a second, and the commanders of the legions sat down obediently, not daring to express their thoughts again.

In fact, there are many legion commanders here who are admirers of the Lord of War.

There are even many legion commanders who were members of the War Legion in the early days, once called the Lord of War as "my lord", and then established their own legions after breaking away from the War Legion.

An An is not only a majestic elder for the commanders of the legions, but also a guide for himself.

If the prestige of the Empire of Humanity has a ranking.

The first in line is undoubtedly the high priest Zuo Yi, who is regarded as the spokesperson of the Emperor Xiu God in the world, the existence closest to the Emperor Xiu God, and all the decisions represent the will of the Emperor Xiu God, and he is respected as the leader of mankind by the soldiers of all legions and trillions of people.

The second is the primordial seven.

There are indeed conflicts of ideas between the soldiers of different legions, and there are situations where they do not like each other, and even the soldiers of the original legion will be disliked by some legions.

But this contradiction exists only among the fighters and does not rise to the rank of corps commander.

Especially the primordial seven.

If the high priest Zuo Yi is the embodiment of the will of the Emperor Xiu God, then the original seven gods are the embodiment of the power of the Emperor Xiu God in the world.

The birth and growth of many legion commanders have been recorded in the history books of mankind, but the original seven gods were subordinate gods of the emperor who existed before the birth of the Emperor Church.

Their birth is even older than the Emperor Xiuguo.

Among the primordial seven gods, there are two with the highest prestige.

They are the Lord of Divine Punishment who guards the rear of mankind and is in charge of punishment and execution, and the Lord of War who leads the war legion to the front line of the expedition.

For this lord of war, who has fought for more than 6,000 years, the commanders of the regiments respect and admire from the bottom of their hearts.

The Human Empire once had a statistic on the Legion Commanders.

In more than 6,000 years of expeditionary wars, almost every legion commander has a record of returning to the emperor's death.

But the Lord of War is the exception.

Although nominally known as the commander of the Third Army, in terms of combat power, the strength of the Lord of War ranks first without any suspense.

In the face of such an old-timer who was already the strongest in the Human Empire before they were born, they didn't dare to take any offense at all.

After the Lord of War said "Sit down", these ferocious beasts on the battlefield were obedient like tame kittens, quietly looking at the Lord of War, waiting for her next speech.

After An An's gaze swept over everyone present, he nodded and said:

"I've listened to all of you, but it's not up to me to make the final decision, the High Priest has something to say to you."

As he spoke, An An tapped the conference table.

Suddenly, a black streamer popped out from the center of the conference table, projected above An An's back, and turned into a light curtain to unfold.

The light curtain becomes clear after a brief blur, and Zuo Yi is dressed in the costume of the high priest.

Seeing the high priest, all the legion commanders got up, put their right fists in the center of their chests, and bowed their heads to salute him:

"High Priest."

"Sit down."

The sound of neatly seated voices rang out, and all eyes were focused on the curtain of light suspended above the head of the Lord of War.

"I've listened to all of your arguments just now, and it's really a difficult question to decide whether to continue to maintain a protracted war or to settle the outcome of a war, and we have limited knowledge of the internal situation of the Skeleton Moth Clan, and there are risks and disadvantages in any choice...... But three days ago, I received a notice from the Emperor Xiu God that the intensity of the Kuroshio Tide had risen again. ”

Speaking of which, Zuo Yi paused for a moment and continued:

"There is not much time left for us to develop, it is difficult for this timeline to reach the end, and we can bear the cost of trial and error, so I decided to launch an all-out war against the Skeleton Moth Clan, and I want you to completely defeat the ...... the Skeleton Moth Clan through this battle."

After making the war decision, the figure of the high priest gradually disappeared into the light curtain, and the army commander present made a uniform offering to God and sent the high priest away.

The black light curtain dissipated like a wave of smoke, and the eyes of the commanders of each legion turned to the Lord of War.

"You have also heard the thoughts of the high priest, there is not much time left for us to develop, how long the Emperor Xiu God can resist the Kuroshio natural disaster is unknown, according to the meaning of the high priest, we still have 3,000 years to develop at most, and there will be no more next 6,000 years, so this battle must go all out."

Speaking of this, An An's gaze swept over everyone present:

"Since it is a decisive battle, you will inevitably have to pay a heavy price in casualties, many of you will return to the emperor's cultivation, and now start to arrange the layout of the war, and make the responsibilities of each legion clear."

An An stretched out his hand and slapped it on the conference table, and suddenly the conference table projected a three-dimensional modeling map of the legendary sea area where the skeleton moth clan was located.

In the next layout of the war, several legions were directly defined as sacrificial legions.

Sacrificing legions means that these legions will pay with their lives for victory in the war, including their commanders.

No corps commander had any objections to this proposal.

In fact, in the 6,000 years of the expedition, there are very few regiment commanders who have never died in battle.

Even among the primordial seven gods, there are five who have a record of returning their souls to the emperor.

Some of the legion commanders even had a record of returning to the emperor many times.

According to the statistics of the last Legion Commander, the Legion Commander with the most Soul Return Emperor repairs is the Sick Curse Legion Commander of the 10th Legion Leader.

So far, the Lord of the Curse has returned to the Emperor 13 times.

The Cursed Legion is the only legion in the Human Empire that plunders resources through the god's descent mode, and the soldiers of this legion do not have their own war fortress station, and are always on the way to go on expeditions across the sea.

The combat mode is destined for a huge casualty rate and high risk for the Cursed Legion.

Since they fought directly behind enemy lines, they were often besieged, and it was difficult for support to arrive in a short period of time.

In this situation, the Cursed Legion can easily fall into the tragic situation of all the people killed, and even the Legion Leader, the Lord of the Curse, has returned in this mode 13 times.

For death, the commanders of the corps looked very lightly.

In their eyes, the return of the soul to the Emperor Cultivator does not mean the end of life, they will reshape their flesh and blood under the guidance of the Supreme Emperor Cultivator, and set sail again with a new attitude.

So when An An proposed that there should be a legion to sacrifice for the war, a corps commander took the initiative to ask for help.

Especially the Captain of the Curse Legion, slapping the table with a smile and saying:

"I am familiar with this matter of sacrifice, and when I start a war, I will lead my legion brothers to descend to the rear across the space, and I will start a plague and cursed storm with my death, and cause casualties in the rear of the Moth Clan as much as possible."

"I'm in charge of this matter, and this space airdrop counts me."

The skin of the Curse Legion Leader who spoke was sickly pale, as if he had never seen the sun, black spells spread on his face, like vines, his pitch-black eyes were like an endless abyss, and on his forehead was a curse mark that emitted a strange ghostly light.

The tousled hair spread over his head like a storm-ravaged wilderness, and each hair hid the power of a powerful curse.

His voice was extremely hoarse, and even gave people a sense of weakness that would faint at any moment.

But his strength is extremely strong, enough to rank in the top 30 ranks of the legion commanders.

But the legionnaires led by the Lord of the Curse are not liked by the warriors of the other legions.

In the mutual favorability data of each legion counted by High Priest Zuo Yi, among the five legions at the bottom are the "Cursed Legions".

The power of a curse is an imprint that inscribes a special ability in the form of a tattoo on the inside and outside of the body.

Cursed warriors in combat will be eroded by the powerful power of the curse, entering a state of bloodthirsty rage, gaining soaring combat power while attacking without distinction between friend and foe.

I am referring to the warriors of other legions, and your own Curse Seal Warriors will instinctively identify as "their own" in Berserk mode.

It's like a zombie in a zombie movie, and it won't attack other zombies.

Cursed warriors in Curse Berserk mode lose the ability to think, and all they see is killing and attacking.

There was a major event recorded in the history books of Emperor Xiu.

The cursed god stationed on the resource island fell into a bitter battle when he encountered the invasion of the evil god, and finally opened the curse rage mode with the soldiers he led, killing the evil god while slaughtering all the inhabitants of the resource island.

At this point, the Cursed Legion has become a Wandering War Legion and no longer garrisons any resource islands.

Therefore, for the Cursed Legion, the warriors of the other legions are unwilling to cooperate with them, and they feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

Think of them as a bunch of beasts that could get out of control at any moment.

……

At the end of the meeting, 13 corps were decided to go behind enemy lines as sacrificial legions.

Before the meeting ended, An An looked at the 13 legion leaders led by the Curse Legion:

"Brothers, the soul returns to the emperor, and I will personally pick you up in ten years."

At this time, the rest of the legion commanders also paid imperial salutes to the 13 legion commanders who chose to die.
