Arleus was sitting in the military tent, his expression ugly.
When Lei Chan ordered the troops to be dispatched that day, he vaguely revealed the meaning of the Zen position. If he could unify the demon world this time, the prince with the highest military merit would become the new Blood Demon Emperor. This was a great opportunity to make achievements. If he could seize it,
He will undoubtedly surpass Tris, ascend to the throne of God as he wishes, and become the supreme ruler of the entire demon world.
Now that the war against the Fallen Angel Empire has just begun, he has been removed from his post as commander-in-chief of the battle and ordered to return to the Imperial Capital. This is tantamount to giving this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Tevez, his current biggest competitor.
With Tevez's military ability, once he seizes the opportunity... the consequences will be disastrous.
"Brother Emperor." A familiar voice sounded from the door of the military tent, it was Tevez.
This voice made Arius' eyes become even more gloomy, and he shouted: "Laerta!"
"Your Highness." The guard captain outside the military tent immediately responded.
"Didn't I tell you not to let anyone in?"
Leerta lowered his head, and Tevez said: "Brother, have you forgotten the privileges you gave me back then? I can see you at any time, and there is no need to notify you."
The word "given" sounded particularly harsh in Aleus's ears, and he snorted coldly: "Leerta, go down, remember, no matter who you are in the future, you must report first!"
This was obviously a slap in Tris's face, and his tone had the meaning of expelling a guest, but Tris didn't seem to notice it and still looked at Aleus with a smile.
Aleus frowned and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Tris sighed: "Brother, don't you think we should have a good talk?"
"Is this necessary?" Arius looked at his younger brother coldly, "I have always underestimated you."
Tris was silent for a while and said: "We were once the closest siblings, and we will never be the same again?"
"On the battlefield we are on, there is only one final winner. When you and I are the only ones left on the battlefield, there will be only winners and losers. You actually know this better than me. Unless...you are willing to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Aleus's burning gaze fell on Tris's face.
Teres didn't answer and said calmly: "You should know that I am not an ambitious person. If I said I was willing to quit, would you believe it?"
"I don't believe it." Arius shook his head slowly: "You know better than anyone else, even if you really quit, I won't be able to tolerate you. Your talent is too outstanding, and there is such a thing as ambition... you don't have it now, no.
It means there will be no threats in the future, and the best way is to nip the threat in the bud."
"You are very frank." Tris smiled calmly: "This is what I appreciate most about you. Unfortunately... this is the last time I talk to you like this. To be honest, my brother, I feel sorry."
"What a pity? It's reached this point, so you don't have to be pretentious anymore," Alius smiled coldly: "Okay, I'm very tired. If you came today just for this nonsense, then you can leave.
Tris' Yaning narrowed his head slightly and shook his head, slowly raising his hand: "You are wrong, brother. What I regret is your life because you can die."
Arius was shocked and thought he heard wrongly.
Aleus is the most powerful among the Blood Demon princes. His martial arts were passed down from Lei Chan. He became the Demon Emperor many years ago. He broke through to the middle stage of the Demon Emperor some time ago. His strength is his greatest advantage.
Tris had been stuck in the Demon Emperor for many years due to qualification reasons. It was not until he entered the Dark Oven that he happened to undergo a change and entered the Demon Emperor level. Whether it was strength, experience or actual combat, there was no comparison between the two.
Now Tris actually overestimates his ability and says that he wants his life, regardless of the difference in force, and directly kills his brother in such a blatant manner. Even if he succeeds, Lei Chan will not let Tris go.
Could it be that there is something wrong with this younger brother who has always been extremely wise?
Seeing Tris's elegant smile, Arius was shocked. It was not an illusion! Tris was really going to kill him!
This kind of place? This kind of time?
Is he crazy?
Although Arius was surprised, he did not hesitate, and his fists glowed with a faint cyan light.
In any case, first subdue Tris, this may be a turning point.
Suddenly, Arius's expression suddenly changed, because a terrifying aura of power had silently surrounded him, making him unable to move for a moment.
The level of this kind of aura is far higher than the middle section of Aleus' Demon Emperor, and the source of its power is Teris!
"You..." Aleus looked at Tris with a smile on his face in disbelief.
Is this the younger brother who only knows strategy? Is this the little prince who is considered the biggest regret because of his cultivation aptitude?
"You are right about what you said. You have always underestimated me. Not only you, but also Lei Chan and everyone else have underestimated me." Tris said calmly: "The battlefield you think you have is not the battlefield at all.
It is not my battlefield. If this is a game of chess, then I am the one who controls the chess pieces. You are just a chess piece at the mercy of others. Maybe Lei Chan, Kathleen, Shia... are all chess pieces.
"
The last sentence included all the three emperors of the demon world. Aleus was shocked and showed disdain.
"Are you trying to say that I'm not ashamed of my words, or that I'm not overestimating my abilities?" Teres smiled even more. "You should have thought the same way when I said I wanted to kill you at first, but now? It's not that I didn't.
Ambition is just something that you don’t bother to show in front of you. How can a demon dog on the ground that will be satisfied with a meal of bones understand the dragon flying in the sky? Your chess piece has almost played its full role, and now there is only one left.
The last value is death."
Is this the real Tris? Arius felt a chill coming from his heart and shouted: "Laerta!"
The strange thing is that Leerta seems to have disappeared, and none of the bodyguards have appeared.
Tris sighed softly: "No need to waste your efforts, let me tell you, the thirty-six of your most trusted personal guards, including Leerta... are all my people."
Aleus was shocked, and the thirty-six personal guards were all Tris' people. This alone required a lot of effort and scheming! Tris was right, everyone underestimated him.
"I will give you a painless death and personally send your body back to my brother in the imperial capital."
Aleus knew that it was a matter of life and death, so he shouted, and the power he had been accumulating suddenly burst out, and green flames rose up all over his body. However, Tris just waved his hand gently, and the flames were like candles in the wind, blowing them away.
Destroy, just like the life of Arleus.
As he was dying, the scene from his childhood suddenly appeared in Arius's mind.
In the imperial garden, women in white looked at the playful teenagers with a smile.
My mother was still there at that time.
At that time, Edmund was still their older brother, leading them into trouble all day long.
At that time, Tris was still a little kid who followed everyone around all day long and cried easily.
These years have been really tiring.
Arius's expression gradually softened, and his consciousness fell into endless darkness.
Empire of Shadows, Jergal Fortress.
"Sir Luo Meng, your injury hasn't healed yet. Don't move around yet. I'll help you change your dressing."
The speaker was a woman wearing a veil with black hair and black eyes. Her beautiful facial features were faintly visible behind the veil, and she was holding a medicine box in her hand.
"Miss Mei Dilu, my friend... there is no news yet?"
"There is no new news." Medilu shook her head, "We have sent out the best scouts... Judging from the abnormal situation in the small plain, an extremely fierce battle took place there."
Lomon didn't know about Catherine, but when he and Chen Rui sneaked into the Jergal Fortress, he recognized Azgalo who was traveling with him.
Azgaro once sneaked into the Dark Moon. At that time, Pagliu's seal was not broken. It was not his opponent but "Isis" who later took action. Lomon knew that Azgaro was a strong man at the peak of the Demon Emperor. However, Azgaro
When Gallo was about to arrive at Jergal Fortress, his body exploded and died, which shows what a terrifying opponent he encountered.
A strong man at the national level?
Then, Chen Rui, who went after Bai Luo...
Luo Meng's face looked gloomy. Chen Rui was his best partner and friend. If something really happened, how would he explain it to Athena, Isabella and others when he went back?
"Sir Luomeng, don't worry too much. I believe your friend will be fine." Mei Dilu took out the wound medicine and gauze from the medicine box and began to carefully change his dressing. "There is one thing I want to tell you, sir."
...Bai Luo, he should be dead."
Luo Meng cheered up: "Did you find his body?"
Medilu shook her head and said hesitantly: "But...since the day before yesterday, my mental shackles seem to have disappeared, and I have never had another attack."
It turns out that Medilu is Bai Luo's wife and Catherine's cousin, and her father is the emperor's uncle Ferenc.
Ferenc is Kathleen's most powerful supporter and the former leader of the Shadow Army. He once helped Kathleen assess the civil strife. Unfortunately, he didn't know the person well and married his daughter to Bai Luo, who had saved her life.
Bai Luo relied on this relationship to rise to the top and gradually became the first general of the empire.
Bai Luo and Mei Dilu seemed very affectionate at the beginning, but then he showed his ferocious face and controlled Mei Dilu with spiritual shackles. They often tortured and abused Bai Luo, especially after Bai Luo lost half of his body and became incapacitated.
It's getting worse.
Bai Luo once took Ferenc's father-in-law and his wife to Jergo Fortress on the grounds that Ferenc was unwell, but actually imprisoned the two of them to blackmail Queen Catherine. Ferenc regretted it and cursed Bai Luo.
Luo, Bai Luo brutally gouged out his eyes in front of Mei Dilu, which made Mei Dilu hate Bai Luo even more.
Due to the existence of spiritual shackles, Medilu could not live or die, and was tortured until Lomon appeared and saved her and her father, so she regarded Lomon as a benefactor.
Although Ferenc was blind, with his qualifications and prestige, as well as Catherine's prior arrangements, the turbulent Jergal Fortress quickly settled down.
Medilu's words made Luo Meng's eyes light up. Since Bai Luo is dead, the shackles on Delia's soul will also be lifted! The nightmare that has troubled Delia for many years can finally disappear!
The only thing that worries people now is the captain...
Good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years.
