Naturally, Chen Rui would not refuse Tertnis's request to "enter the capital". With Feng Saka, the No. 1 leather armor proficient master, and the reputation of Tertnis, the No. 1 props proficient master, the Fallen Angel Empire's Artifact Maker Alliance would definitely overwhelm him.
The remaining two countries are.
The old man originally wanted to drag Chen Rui to teach the memory knowledge inherited from ancient times, but the important discovery of the few materials just now inspired him greatly in the research of black potions, and he was about to experiment, so he did not force him to stay.
Chen Rui walked out of the laboratory and said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Skye and others. Before leaving, the looks in the eyes of the two dark elf girls made him feel something was wrong. It seemed...
Chen Rui then shook his head. Eve and Elian were only a year or two older than Alice. They were still just little girls. They usually had too few contacts with the opposite sex. They just had some vague feelings of ignorance. As long as they were appropriately distanced, they could see more of the world.
, can become invisible.
Back at the residence, Chen Rui told the latest information about the Shadow Empire. Athena and Ji Ya both looked worried. The civil war in the Fallen Angel Empire had just stopped, and foreign enemies were immediately eyeing them; Delia looked a little solemn, and the Shadow
The information from the envoy was the first she got, but it was still too late. After getting the so-called "official" information about the envoy, the envoy had already crossed Valan Town with a clear purpose, which was to catch Dark Moon off guard.
Lomon, Pagliu, and Cloberus looked as if nothing had happened. Only Laura said: "The road to the strong is always full of thorns. To reach your current level, you must have experienced countless dangerous battles that exceeded your limits.
, as your woman and someone who has been there before, I will not be an obstacle for you to reach the top."
Pagliu understands the first half of the sentence best. He watched this human being's strength take off step by step. In two years, he leapt from the strength of a low-level demon to the peak level of the Demon Emperor, and he also had a level comparable to that of the Demon Emperor.
The ability to transform into a new level of combat power. This is an unimaginable miracle. "Grandmaster inheritance" is certainly an important reason, but it is also inseparable from countless practices and battles that hover on the edge of life and death.
The fairy dragon's voice then sounded: "But... you don't need to invest everything for a mere empire. Even if this empire is gone, so what. We can go to other places, or at worst, escape to distant areas outside the three empires.
, and open up a space like Rainbow Valley, if you want Shia or other women, just take it with you."
Chen Rui did not expect that Laura, who had always been hypocritical and naive, would say these words. He understood that Laura was still frightened by the fact that he almost died with Obsidian on the battlefield. Although Shia was his beloved woman, Dark Moon was also managed by him.
But Shia is not the only woman he has (strictly speaking, Shia is not included).
"I'm not asking you to run away now, but I'm telling you that we have a way out. My man is not some kind of guy who abandons his companions and just runs away." Laura said and glanced at Pagliu.
"I understand." Chen Rui felt warm in his heart and nodded honestly.
Seeing Miss Fairy Long's demonstrative glance, Uncle Poison Dragon, who had an arrow in his knee, choked on his wine. What does it have to do with me if you encourage your own man?
"I also hope that my man will become stronger and stronger - that he can explore and study more higher-level secrets with me, such as a certain silver box..."
Uncle Poison Dragon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Chen Rui's shoulder vigorously: "Common prosperity! Common development!"
Chen Rui looked at Pagliu with a strange look on his face. Was the next sentence about building a harmonious society together?
The next afternoon, the Shadow Empire's envoy finally arrived.
The envoys this time were a man and a woman. The woman was Lilith, who came to Dark Moon with "Isis" to discuss cooperation last time. Her strength was in the first stage of the Demon Emperor; the man was also an "acquaintance" of Chen Rui, who had been in Xilang Mountain
Teldira, who we fought against in the Loki incident, is the middle-level Demon Emperor.
On the Dark Moon side, besides "Agulie", Shia is surrounded by the Demon Emperors of the Imperial City headed by Stiller, Sheriff Athena and Diudiu's transformed financial officer Chen Rui are also there. According to Tetnis
, the root cause of Diudiu's mutation is that he swallowed the dragon power essence of the red dragon, and the devil fruits that followed gradually induced and refined the power of the dragon power essence. According to this reason, Diudiu has great potential.
It's a pity that this amoeba is timid and cowardly. Now that it has become attached to people like Chen Rui, it is even more unwilling to make progress. However, its transformation ability has been fully explored, and it is also covered by the Evil Blue Tears, the secret treasure of the Belial royal family borrowed from Luo Meng.
, even the Demon Emperor cannot see through it.
After the two parties finished paying their respects, Lilith spoke: "Your Royal Highness, Dark Moon and the Blood Wattle Territory of my Shadow Empire have a very good foundation for cooperation. This time I came under the orders of Her Majesty Catherine to work with you.
Your Highness will discuss matters for further in-depth cooperation."
Shia immediately heard the meaning: "Is it Emperor Catherine, not the Blood Wattle Territory?"
"Yes," Lilith smiled behind her thin veil, "His Royal Highness Shia shocked the demon world in her battle in the fields of Leith Town. This was a classic battle worthy of being included in the annals of history. Her Majesty Catherine expressed her gratitude to His Highness for her heroic and heroic spirit.
Tao Lue was full of praise and wanted to help His Highness overcome the obstacles in the country and ascend to the throne of Emperor."
"I am very grateful to Emperor Catherine for her kindness. However, the affairs of the Fallen Angel Empire are left to the Luciferian royal family to resolve themselves, leaving the Shadow Empire to worry about. I will keep this friendship in my heart and become a witness for the two countries to go hand in hand."
Terdira spoke in a rather unkind tone: "So, Lord Darkmoon is going to reject the friendship of our emperor."
Shia is not an emperor now. A lord rejects the friendship of an emperor. This is an excuse enough to start a war. However, the excuse for war is just in name. If we really want to fight, we will fight regardless of the excuse. Terdira is just using the excuse to exert pressure.
That's all.
"Hmph!" Stiller snorted coldly, faintly exuding the aura of a peak demon emperor: "Are you threatening?"
In front of so many powerful demon emperors, Terdira was still domineering and made it clear that he was not afraid of falling out. He represented the powerful shadow empire. Once these demon emperors dared to take action, the entire Fallen Angel Empire would be attacked several times.
revenge.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of the saying "A weak country has no diplomacy". Diplomatic status is based on the strength of the country, no matter which dimension it is in. Only when one's own motherland becomes truly strong can the humiliation of history be washed away.
Only by intimidating the young people can we remain invincible on the international stage. However, extreme or extreme performance can easily become a tool that can be used to derail the true original intention and go further and further away.
"Our country has always been friendly and cooperative with the Fallen Angel Empire, and we even signed a peace contract. How can we say 'threat'?" Lilith's expression remained unchanged. "Her Majesty Catherine herself has also come out of difficulties step by step, so she naturally understands Shia.
His Highness’s difficulties, that’s why we came all the way with goodwill in the hope of helping His Highness.”
The deformed Chen Rui asked a prepared line under Athena's hint: "What kind of help can Your Majesty Catherine provide?"
Lilith's eyes lingered on "Chen Rui" for a moment, and she replied: "Her Majesty Kathleen has begun to accumulate heavy troops in front of Tecula Fortress and Leia Town. We can go forward with both ends to assist Her Majesty Shia in the first place.
He controlled the entire empire by internal force and successfully ascended the throne."
Lilith knew that it was difficult to hide the movements of the army within the territory from the eyes and ears of the fallen angels, so she simply stated it with a high-sounding reason.
"'Assist'? That's a good word to use," the real Chen Rui changed his voice and spoke behind the mask: "There is an old saying in the devil world that nothing comes for nothing. So, in order to repay this 'assistance', we should pay
What kind of reward? Is it going to be a large amount of money? Or is it going to cede some important land?”
"Money and ceding land cannot be equated with true friendship." Lilith still had a moving smile. This sentence was heard by everyone. But she was not satisfied with ceding land and paying compensation.
"Actually, Her Majesty Catherine does not ask for compensation in money or territory. She just hopes to work hand in hand with Her Majesty Shia to deepen cooperation between the two countries, including economic and military aspects. We will strengthen trade between the two countries and reduce tax rates. Promote
Development..." Lilith said a lot, and it sounded like a win-win situation. However, in Chen Rui's ears, these benefits contained many embryonic forms of economic warfare. It was unexpected that Kathleen would have such insight.
"As a partner, we hope to obtain Dark Moon's soil improvement technology, magic crystal cannon, heavy ballista and other advanced ordnance manufacturing technology, including borrowing some exclusive talents, such as the financial officer Chen Rui..."
Lilith obviously hit the point and glanced at "Chen Rui" with a smile: "Currently, the two princes of the Blood Evil Empire are confronting each other in the north of the Iron Fist territory. After Her Royal Highness the Princess ascends the throne, Emperor Catherine wants your country to move from Wa
Locke Fortress will send troops to help the Blood Evil Empire quell the civil strife. Of course, the Shadow Empire's army will enter your country via Tecula Fortress to assist, and our country's first general Bai Luo will also send troops from Jergo Fortress to put pressure."
Chen Rui immediately understood Katherine's intentions. The first was to obtain confidential technology and talents, and the second was to use the Fallen Angel Empire to compete with the Blood Demon Empire to reap profits. She really didn't need any land allocation, nor any money.
It is necessary to seize the city and destroy the stronghold. As long as the effective strength of the Fallen Angel Empire and the Blood Demon Empire is exhausted, isn't the territory easily accessible?
Taking advantage of the fire, fishing in troubled waters, driving away tigers and devouring wolves, taking false measures to eliminate Guo, sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight... This contains countless strategic calculations, which are interlocking. Chen Rui feels ashamed. Judging from this trend, Caesar
Lin was determined to take advantage of the Fallen Angel Empire's weakness.
Shia and the Demon Emperors of the Imperial City are not fools. Those economic and trade tricks are all aside. Everyone can see the sinister intentions of the so-called "cooperation". Shia immediately expressed her refusal: "Please forgive me for not agreeing."
Lilith was not surprised by Shia's rejection and said with a smile: "Your Highness said it too early. No matter what, your Highness is only the Dark Moon Lord and cannot represent the will of the entire empire. If Your Highness does not agree, Her Majesty the Queen can
In addition, find a collaborator who can truly represent the Fallen Angel Empire, such as... the Sikali Lucifer who occupies your imperial capital, or change to another more sincere royal family."
The meaning of the Shadow Empire is very simple. Now the Fallen Angel Empire has no owner. If you don't agree, I can invade with a large army and support a more obedient puppet to ascend to the throne of God.
This is a naked threat.
The faces of the demon emperors around Shia suddenly changed, and a wave of murderous aura shrouded Lilith. Lilith seemed to have some kind of secret treasure next to her, and she still maintained a calm smile, with the aura of not changing her expression even if the mountain collapsed.
.
Shia has obtained the recognition of the Fallen Angel Sword, defeated Obsidian, and is the recognized heir to the empire. Even if the demon emperors have their own plans, they cannot deny this. Now the Shadow Empire's envoys are openly threatening the Fallen Empire.
The future queen of the Angel Empire is threatening the entire Fallen Angel Empire, and in front of so many demon emperors, she naturally cannot sit idly by.
The Shadow Empire is stronger than the Fallen Angel Empire. Especially in this kind of internal battle, the Fallen Angel Empire suffered heavy losses and was pulled further away by the other two empires. Once these two envoys are killed, it is equivalent to cutting off the last hope.
, the Shadow Empire hoarded troops on the two borders without hesitation. It is said that one move can affect the whole body. Even though Stiller and other demon emperors were angry, they still did not dare to act rashly.
"What Your Excellency Lilith wants to express is that we have to accept Emperor Catherine's 'friendship', or we have to accept it even if we don't?" Chen Rui pondered for a moment, then spoke to break the increasingly tense atmosphere.
This sentence was obviously knowingly asked. Lilith smiled and said nothing, and Terdila sneered and spoke: "Your Excellency Agulie, after our hurried farewell at Xilang Mountain last time, I missed you very much."
"Oh? I don't know... has Terdira's golden puppet been repaired?" Chen Rui deliberately provoked. His current power of star transformation is no longer what it was back then, so he is not afraid of Terdira.
Only then did everyone know that this Agulie had actually fought against Terdira, and it seemed that the latter had suffered a lot. However, Terdira was not fooled, and instead added: "Your Excellency's strength is indeed extraordinary, and you have the ability to bite."
With the divine mask in hand, I asked myself whether I was an opponent. But what I never expected was that the dignified controller of the Beelzebub clan would actually commit himself to Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Dark Moon? The phrase 'we' just used was so intimate that I couldn't tell the difference at all.
Is there a feud between the two royal families?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of all the demon emperors in the imperial capital fell on Chen Rui.
Beelzebub's God-Eating Empire was destroyed by the Fallen Angel Empire, and the two clans have been feuding for generations. There had been rumors that Agule was Beelzebub's remnant, but everyone only thought it was a rumor.
Now the shadow envoy Terdira personally said that Agule is the king of Beelzebub and has mastered the God-Eating Mask. And judging from the conversation between the two, Terdira was defeated by the God-Eating Mask in the first place.
The golden puppet of the Asmodeus royal family was severely damaged.
The fiancé of the eldest princess Shia, the future husband of the empire, is actually the head of the Beelzebub clan!
How can this not be shocking? Then what is Agule Beelzebub’s intention of helping Shia like this? What is the conspiracy? Several demon emperors with active thinking suddenly thought of Obsidian’s reasons for sanctioning Shia.
There is a "lost fragment of the God-Eating Mask", could it be...
For a time, many people began to whisper, and the eyes they looked at Shia seemed complicated. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.)
