Chapter 495 Personal expedition! Obsidian’s decision
As expected by many people, after Regent Obsidian's "proposal" was rejected, he became furious. He listed a series of crimes such as Dark Moon colluding with the Shadow Empire and attacking the Blue Melt territory, and called on all the territories of the Fallen Angel Empire to punish the rebellious and meritorious individuals.
Can be knighted.
However, everyone knows that no territory in the empire is the opponent of Dark Moon. When the Red You Territory and the Blue Melt Territory joined forces, they both ended in a disastrous defeat. Of the four major territories, only the Bai Ling Territory still retains its strength.
Putting aside the fact that Bai Ling and Dark Moon seem to have some kind of agreement, just based on the comparison of combat power between the two sides, there is no possibility of victory.
If all the remaining territories unite and go all out, even if Dark Moon can win, they will pay a heavy price. However, this situation is impossible to happen, and no one is willing to be cannon fodder. Especially because of the funds raised.
The question is, many territories are tightening their belts, so how can any of them be able to withstand the wear and tear of war?
Even though there is the temptation of a title, you still have to have the ability and the destiny to obtain it.
Obsidian's call has not yet received response from various territories in the empire. Dark Moon has immediately refuted and condemned the "crimes" listed by Obsidian, and sent countless "leaflets" to the imperial capital and
Each territory is known to everyone in the empire.
The Shadow Empire itself has an alliance with the Fallen Angel Empire. On this basis, and based on the principle of friendship and mutual benefit, Dark Moon has become a sister city with the Blood Wattle Territory of the Shadow Empire. Moreover, there is no clause in the publicly signed treaty between the two parties.
The so-called collusion between those who betrayed the interests of the empire has no evidence and is sheer nonsense.
As for the attack on the Bluemelt territory, it is even more confusing. It was precisely because Obsidian defaulted on the fund-raising funds that caused chaos in the Bluemelt territory, so Dark Moon went to help regardless of past suspicions for the sake of the stability of the empire. He helped Bluemelt suppress the rebellion, supported the new lord's rise, and assisted
The Lanrong territory has developed land and stabilized the economy. The people of Lanrong now live a stable life and the economy is growing day by day. This is the best explanation.
After refuting the "crimes" listed by the Imperial Capital one by one, Dark Moon unabashedly listed the various crimes against the Regent Obsidian.
1. Being ungrateful, seeking to seize the throne passed down to Prince Green by his brother, Emperor Bai Ye, proclaiming himself the regent, imprisoning and suppressing the royal family of Bai Ye's lineage, the ridiculous thing is that it still has not been recognized by the Fallen Angel Sword, it can be seen that even the royal artifact has not been recognized.
Denied this usurper.
Second, he is greedy and does not hesitate to use despicable means of raising funds to defraud the wealth of various territories and families. He has still defaulted on most of the funds raised and has not repaid them, making the lives of various lords difficult and the people of the lords miserable.
Third, regardless of shame, he blatantly forced his nephew's daughter to become his wife, bringing shame to the entire Luciferian royal family.
Fourth, eliminate dissidents, assassinate members of the elder family, and trigger various internal battles...
These charges were no more empty gimmicks than those listed by the Imperial Capital. They hit Obsidian's vitals. The first and second charges alone left him unable to refute.
The Sword of the Fallen Angel has been Obsidian's worry for many years, and it is also the biggest obstacle that prevents him from officially becoming the emperor, and the fund-raising is the source of his current anxiety. Except for the third point, almost none of the subsequent crimes are solely related to Dark Moon.
It's a bit off, but it's true in every detail, enough to arouse the indignation of all the territories and families in the empire.
Many elder families began to question some famous old cases related to their own interests. Before they took action against Dark Moon, the voices in the imperial capital began to become uncoordinated.
In fact, the upper echelons of any empire are free from filth and darkness. It is not uncommon for them to exterminate people and families in order to consolidate their rule. It’s just one thing to keep it in the dark, but it’s another thing to make it known to the public.
It was all thanks to Isabella's control of the imperial capital's ANBU before, and she had a lot of unknown inside information at her fingertips. Now that all of it was revealed, Obsidian was caught off guard.
The southern territories, represented by the Blue Melt Territory, stood up first and expressed their firm support for Dark Moon. The real power holder of Blue Melt, Su Men, was promoted to power by Dark Moon. As for the little brat of the lord, let alone the impostor.
, he is simply a puppet.
The "opposition" headed by General George took the opportunity to strongly criticize Obsidian's actions. However, at this time, Sikali, the lord of the Bailing territory where Varok Fortress is located, clashed with General George. Obviously, Sikali did not respond on the surface.
The imperial capital's crusade used practical actions to contain Shia's biggest supporter, General George. The imperial capital sent a large number of troops to the Bai Ling territory to prevent changes. At present, the Blood Demon Empire is still harassing the border, and George is surrounded by enemies from both sides and cannot lead the army.
went south, but Bai Ling did not dare to advance rashly, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
The verbal war was just to gain a reputation for each division. After Obsidian was completely defeated in this aspect, he finally showed his true fangs and announced in the name of the Imperial Regent that he would personally conquer the Dark Moon, and ordered all territories to send troops to form a coalition to wipe out the rebellion in one fell swoop.
This kind of order is different from the previous call. If you refuse to send troops, you will be regarded as a traitor who colludes with Dark Moon.
As soon as the order of Obsidian's personal expedition was announced, Zhuo Che, who had been quietly recuperating in the Chiyou territory, was the first to respond and expressed his willingness to follow the regent in the crusade against Dark Moon. Then all the territories expressed their determination to send troops, even the smallest ones.
The territory is no exception. As for whether the elite ones are sent out, it depends on each person's own calculations.
The assembly of the army is not that simple, and Obsidian also considered the Shadow Empire behind Dark Moon and sent an envoy there, stating that the cause of the matter was an attempted marriage proposal, which was a family matter of the Lucifer royal family, and required the Shadow Empire to abide by the alliance agreement between the two countries.
, do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Fallen Angel Empire. After some negotiations, a preliminary consensus was reached. As for how much benefit was transferred behind the scenes and how much price was paid, only the senior officials of the Shadow Empire and Obsidian themselves knew clearly.
In fact, the Shadow Empire has not signed any war mutual assistance agreement with Dark Moon. Obsidian is simply sending meat to people's doorsteps for free, and Emperor Catherine will not be polite.
After receiving the promise from the Shadow Empire, Obsidian was determined, and he followed the advice of Zhuo Qie, the Lord of Chiyou, and used various means to severely suppress some of the elder families who had been planning to attack because of the "crimes" listed by Dark Moon, and for
Beware of trouble in the rear during the war.
Although these actions gave Dark Moon valuable preparation time, they still caused a huge panic. A large number of foreign merchants evacuated and many residents relocated - this time it was nothing like a lord war. An empire devoted its entire country to deal with a territory.
, it is almost a war without any suspense, and the Imperial Capital has also reached an agreement with the Shadow Empire "behind" the Dark Moon.
The turbulent situation was also expected by the top management of Dark Moon. When things reached this point, it was a battle anyway, so those who stayed basically had a certain belief.
Darkmoon's ally, General Kafu, Lord of the Bloodthorn Flowers, urgently sent a secret envoy to Darkmoon to explain the decision of the upper echelons of the Shadow Empire not to interfere in the Darkmoon dispute, but Kafu kept in mind Shia's private interests and the need to save his only son Monroe.
Well, a group of elite goblin warriors were specially sent to the Dark Moon for support.
The fighting power of the goblins is extremely low. Those who can be called warriors, or even elite warriors, are definitely not ordinary goblins. In addition to their manual talents such as manufacturing and assembly, their most outstanding talent is to control machinery. For example, the same magic crystal cannon is made by elites.
If controlled by a goblin warrior, the accuracy and power will be increased by at least 30%. This 30% is already quite astonishing for a heavy magic weapon with extremely lethal power.
This is the precious "resource" that Dark Moon lacks. Just like the thousand-man team of magicians, Cafu's behavior of providing help in times of need is of course due to personal friendship, but the bigger reason is that his only son Monroe insists on staying in Dark Moon.
In the army.
Monroe, who is currently "wanted" by the Shadow Empire, changed his name, officially joined the Flame Legion of Dark Moon, and became the commander of the magician brigade.
Feynman, the middle guard of the Demon Emperor who had recovered from his injury, accompanied him to protect him. Feini was hired as a female official in the Dark Moon Palace and learned the art of tool making from Master Da Da. The young couple became lovers and got married, so they were grateful to Shia.
Endless.
The arrival of the elite goblin warriors. The first thing Chen Rui thought of was not the magic crystal cannon, but the production of the Golden Man. Originally, the production of the Golden Man was already in steady progress, but after the proposal incident in the imperial capital, the production of the Golden Man in the upcoming war
The demand has increased sharply, but the speed is unsatisfactory. With this batch of goblin warriors, the production speed will be greatly accelerated.
This head-on confrontation with the Imperial Capital will be a huge test, related to the fate of Dark Moon and even Chen Rui in the future. Therefore, every available force must be calculated. Since the soil of Woyuan must be used for upgrading, the current soil
The elemental people's earth domain has been closed and cannot provide help. Moreover, the principle of the elemental people is not to intervene in ordinary disputes in the demon world.
Guladam in Yankou Town used the undead from the ancient battlefield to restore strength and create a large number of troops. Later, he swallowed a hundred thousand blue molten troops. With the weapons and equipment provided by Chen Rui, he was definitely a very terrifying fighting force. It was rare.
Unfortunately, this power is currently unknown.
The three legions of Red Blood, Flame Light, and Moon Shadow are the strongest main forces on the bright side of the Dark Moon. Among them, Medusa and the Flying Dragon have been exposed. The magician brigade and elite goblin warriors funded by the Blood Wattle Territory are still hidden.
In the darkness, on the surface, Dark Moon only has a small team of magicians with less than a hundred people.
The tauren are the main force in equipment manufacturing and are also a powerful fighting team, but Chen Rui does not intend to use them until the last moment.
Dark Moon's military reform began as early as after the Lord War. There are "political commissars" in all collectives, large and small, who maintain the army's absolute loyalty and obedience to Shia, and play a key role in stabilizing morale and morale.
All the devil fruits stored in the Super System Star Garden have been emptied, and the spiritual energy value is only four digits due to exchange and use. After screening and elimination, the individuals or elite units that need to be strengthened have been strengthened and will be in the strongest state.
Face the great test that is coming.
After a period of time, the chaos in Dark Moon has gradually calmed down. Most of the people left behind are native Dark Moon people who are unwilling to flee their homeland. People are looking forward to the two words that Shia repeatedly emphasized in his speech: "miracle".
Now that we have withstood the huge pressure, we will see if we can truly create a miracle.
