"Have you heard? His Royal Highness the Regent's army suffered two defeats in Dark Moon!"
"I also heard that General Samoel of the Serpent Army was killed in battle, and General Nesta of the Shadow Army surrendered to the enemy...--/--Full text of the advertisement"
"General Nesta surrendered to the enemy because Samoel framed him for public revenge, okay? General Nesta held out in the Blood Mist Valley for dozens of days. As a result, Samoel came to the valley. Not only did he not provide reinforcements, but he wanted to destroy the Shadow Army.
, and also killed Carnita, the heir to the Red Nether Territory, General Nesta became angry and defected to Dark Moon."
"What is this? Zeta, the demon emperor elder of the Camon family, was released by Dark Moon and returned to Chiyou and was killed! Do you know who did it? They say it was the regent who wanted to deal with the elder family..."
"Keep your voice down!"
"Hey, who in the imperial capital doesn't know about this now?"
"..."
Chen Rui was sitting in a tavern in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, drinking and calmly listening to the discussions around him. After experiencing the last setback, the rebuilt Dark Demon became more capable. In the shortest possible time, the battle ahead included some
The "inside story" has spread rapidly in every corner of the imperial capital.
It only took a few hours from the teleportation entrance through the Dark Moon Residence to the Rainbow Valley and then to the Imperial Capital.
Chen Rui did not enter the imperial capital, but took a carriage at the suburban post station and headed north towards Bai Ling's territory.
Sikari, the lord of the Bai Ling Territory, is from the Luciferian royal family. His ancestors also had royal blood. Because he was a commoner, he was assigned to the Bai Ling Territory. After several generations of management, mergers and development, and reclamation of wasteland, his strength gradually grew and he became
One of the four major territories of the Fallen Angel Empire.
Among the lords, big and small, Sikali is the one who is best at playing both sides. This time the coalition forces went out, they also sent some soldiers. It seemed a bit perfunctory, but they focused their energy on the "fight with General George of Warlock Fortress".
Disputes" above.
Obsidian desperately sent troops to conquer Dark Moon. As Shia's staunchest supporter, the empire's first general George would definitely not sit idly by. Sikari's conflict with George at this time is self-evident.
In a sense, once Dark Moon is destroyed by Obsidian, Sikali's contribution will still be greater than that of most of the lords who followed the expedition.
After Chen Rui helped his father-in-law at Varok Fortress last time, he went south from the Bai Ling territory via the Imperial Capital and Chiyou back to Dark Moon. At that time, he was in a hurry to rush back and didn't pay attention to many things.../--/-
-Full text of the advertisement Now he made a special trip to Bai Ling's territory. What he saw and observed along the way gave him a better understanding of this relatively low-key territory.
The area of Bai Ling Territory is slightly smaller than Dark Moon, but larger than Chi You. Although there are no very conspicuous and wealthy towns like Mordor Town and Magic Bell Town in Chi You Territory, the population is more widely distributed and the development is more balanced. Reflected by Dark Demon
Comprehensive analysis of various intelligence shows that the combat effectiveness of Bai Ling's territory is definitely not inferior to Chi You's.
The reason for the conflict between Bai Ling Territory and Varok Fortress this time is military rations. The military rations for Varok Fortress are jointly provided by the Imperial Capital and Bai Ling Territory. Due to the influence of the Imperial Capital's "fund-raising gate", the original military pay, military rations and other materials have been greatly reduced.
, and the Bailing Territory used the poor harvest as an excuse to delay the supply of military rations, which led to the soldiers of the Varok Fortress who could not restrain themselves to loot several towns in the north of the Bailing Territory, making the people of the Bailing Territory very angry.
White Feather Lord Sikali publicly expressed his condemnation of the Varok Fortress garrison and asked General George to hand over the soldiers who committed evil acts.
General George refused to admit that the looting incident was caused by the garrison of Varok Fortress. Taking the nearest Heiyun Town to the north of Varok Fortress, Qiu Qiu had no involvement in the robbery, as an example, he pointedly pointed out that Sikali was purely self-directed and staged, while delaying the supply of military supplies.
On the one hand, he deliberately used this to cause trouble to please Obsidian, the regent of the imperial capital.
Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the confrontation was in a stalemate. It was just that the people in Bai Ling's territory had a kind of blind trust in Sikali, especially the towns that had suffered greatly. They did not believe General George's explanation at all, and they had
Warlock Fortress showed extreme hostility and supported Sikali in his fight against General George. Now Sikali has sent a large number of troops from the territory to the northern towns to "protect" the townspeople from plunder.
In Chen Rui's view, this matter has become obvious. Just as General George said, Sikali simply deliberately made excuses to cause trouble in order to delay General George during Obsidian's crusade against Dark Moon.
Chen Rui went all the way north and arrived at Bai Ling City, the core of the territory. Bai Ling City covers a large area and is not even under the dark moon. It can be seen that it was created with a lot of painstaking efforts. It is the same as the copycat versions in many places in the Demon World.
Many buildings and facilities have the shadow of Dark Moon, such as the newly built Battle Ball Arena in front of us. Ticket sales, gambling ticket sales, fan stores, etc. are all available. It is simply a complete plagiarism. Judging from the attendance of the audience, the stadium is still
Quite hot.
"Great, I heard that the lord will be on stage in person this time! The tickets were sold out early in the morning!"
"He will suppress his strength to the level of a mid-level demon and lead a private team to compete with the strongest Snow Feather Army team!"
"All proceeds from tickets and gambling will be donated to children and the weak in need."
"Hmph! The lord is so kind, those weak ones don't deserve sympathy at all!"
"Mercy? Five years ago, horse thieves burned, killed and looted the town of Massimo. The lord was furious and led his army there. He single-handedly killed 3,600 horse thieves. Their heads were hung high in the town of Massimo, forming a pile.
Xiaoshan! So far, I haven’t heard any news about horse thieves there!”
"Lord Xikali is the most benevolent and powerful lord. As long as he is here, our Bai Ling territory will definitely become the richest and most powerful territory in the entire empire and even the entire demon world, far surpassing Dark Moon!"
"Hmph! What's Dark Moon? Didn't Princess Shia often come to Bai Ling's territory to ask for help? Lord Sikali always donated generously. However, when Lord Sikali went to visit Dark Moon not long ago, Shia
The princess turns her back and is so stingy that she deserves to be punished by the imperial capital this time!"
"..."
Chen Rui frowned as he heard this. Judging from what he heard along the way, Xikali's prestige in Bai Ling's territory was simply unimaginable.
Although the lord is a duplicitous outsider, within the territory, he is a god-like and perfect existence, which makes the people in the territory have an almost blind worship. No wonder almost all the people in the territory respect General George with just one order.
and Varok Fortress both showed strong hostility. Regardless of whether Sikari is a great lord who "serves" the people, it is indeed not simple to be able to reach this level.
Chen Rui's original intention was to go to Warlock Fortress first, but now he became quite curious about Lord Bai Ling, whom he had always despised before. After thinking about it, he bought a ticket from a "scalper" at a high price.
Followed the crowd into the arena.
Today's battle ball has a faint tendency to replace traditional fighting and become the number one sport in the demon world. Many people also list battle ball and fighting as two major sports, because one is a collective and the other is an individual, and there is no conflict. Arena
There was a huge crowd of people inside. With the appearance of Xikali and his team, the atmosphere reached climax, and the whole audience shouted this in unison.
With the name of a lord, every time the ball touches the ball, it can cause deafening shouts. Driven by this atmosphere, almost everyone in the arena's athletes and spectators are as excited as chicken blood. This state is no longer
Facing a lord or a football star, it is as if fanatics are paying homage to their gods and performing miracles.
This kind of fervor that can be called terrifying made Chen Rui secretly frightened. Xia's prestige in Dark Moon was already quite strong, but it was far less than Xikali's influence in Bai Ling. He had no doubt that,
As long as Xikali raises his arms, not only the army, but also the vast majority of the people in the area he leads will not hesitate to point his fists and knives at anyone, including the imperial capital - this makes Chen Rui can't help but think of another
A certain head of state of the "Third Reich" in world history.
Chen Rui thought about it and stood up without continuing to read.
Amidst the thunderous shouts, the first half of the game ended. The score was four to three, and the civilian team led by one goal. Although Sikali is very strong, combat ball is not a one-person sport, and the elite of the Snow Feather Legion
Under Sikali's prior orders, he also gave his best without reservation, making the contest more real and intense, and the audience's reaction more intense.
In the players' lounge, the team doctor took the time to treat individual injured players, while part-time coach Sikali ignited the morale of his teammates to the highest point with just a few words, and then began to arrange the offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.
Suddenly, Sikali's voice stopped and signaled the players to leave first. Although the players were a little surprised, they didn't ask any more questions and all retreated, leaving only Sikali in the lounge.
"Come out." Xikali said lightly.
Chen Rui's figure slowly appeared from the shadow in the corner. This hidden skill was learned from the intelligence chief. It can hide the breath and figure. So many people just didn't notice it. Unexpectedly, Xikali saw through it.
.
In fact, Chen Rui was shaken just now and could no longer maintain the best state of integration between people and the environment. In a fleeting moment, a slight flaw was revealed, but it was noticed by Xikali. Xikali's keenness
The feeling is evident.
The reason why Chen Rui's mind was shaken was that Xikali's information was displayed in the Eye of Analysis.
Due to the needs of the competition, the surface strength is that of a suppressed mid-level demon, but the real strength of the middle-level demon king is completely different from the last time Xikali visited the Dark Moon Territory. At that time, Xikali's true strength was shown to be A+.
That is, the peak of the Demon King. The Analytical Eye will not make mistakes. In this way, the Sikali in front of me is probably not the real Sikali!
A stand-in, and he’s in the middle of the Demon King’s stage!
After realizing that "Xikali" was probably just a stand-in, Chen Rui suddenly canceled the original beheading operation, and the prototype of a new plan quickly appeared in his mind.
