Monarch of Evernight
Chapter 1392: Old Friends
The ancient castle of Lava is the oldest castle in the core territory of the Spike clan, which has been used by successive chiefs as the center of the clan and has not been migrated for thousands of years.
The clan chief Habs returned to the clan only after the Duke and never built another castle for himself, so the clan centre equates to his private residence.
At this time, however, the flag of the former clan chief was falling, and the crown of the burning flames was caught in the brocade. But there was no smoke, no fire, no blood on the sword that was planted.
Parliamentary fighters are busy removing the clan flag on one side of Spurg, stacking it neatly, and then replacing the Parliamentary flag on the spot of interest. On both sides of Castle Street, countless bloodlines either gathered at the street entrance or watched it silently from behind the doors and windows.
There are many strong people in the crowd, even counts and marquises. But they were all pale and miserable and had no intention of resisting. The entire process of occupation and flag change was quiet and smooth, with no excessive behaviour by the occupying forces and no overreaction by the bloodlines.
It does look very different here compared to the many wars that have already taken place on the Twilight continent.
On the top floor of the castle, on the most scenic terrace, stands an elegant man in a demonic formal dress with a perfect face.
There is no one on the terrace, no one on the entire top floor, and this is the highest position that belongs to him alone.
In the distant sky, the air suddenly fluctuated like a watermark, coming out of a shadow. He stopped in the air for a moment, stepped out, and then the same fluctuations occurred in the middle of the air by the terrace, and Habs came out.
His bloody arm had been removed at the moment, and he had changed to a black top with a parliamentary emblem, but he could still see that the chest ribs were not visibly dark, a wound that had not yet completely stopped the bleeding. Qin Emperor's Force attributes are not as hot as most Dawn Force, can hurt the muscle, making it harder to get rid of.
Habs landed on the terrace, staring at the Demon Emperor, without courtesy, faintly said: “It is indeed an honor for His Majesty the Labour Demon to personally attack this small territory. ”
Habs saw several Grand Duke fleets blocking outer space, as well as the unresolved fighting in neighbouring clan territory. In contrast, the core territory of Spurg is exceptionally calm and orderly. Not surprisingly, the Emperor himself came, and under his pressure, even the Duke had no power to resist.
The Emperor turned around and smiled: “Sir Habs, you've come quite quickly. I thought you'd hesitate a little bit. ”
"This is my clan, my inhabitants," Hubbs whispered. If I don't come back, I'm afraid this land will be the tomb of all tribes. ”
There is no need for parliamentary forces to do so. The Realm of the Demon Emperor is sufficient to cover this core territory, where all life will be strangled in darkness. If the Demon King wills, he can even keep their souls lost in the darkness forever, unable to return to the Blood River.
The Emperor said, “All I know is that the bloodline of the original ancestors has always been higher than anything else. As a crowned prince, you should weigh more than all Sparks combined. ”
“That's just part of the bloodline. What is the use of those who are strong, if they cannot shelter their descendants? ”
The Emperor laughed: "Yet you should already know that the Queen of the Night cannot protect you at this time. When you come back at this time, nothing can change. Looks like there's something in this castle that you think is more important than your life! ”
Faced with the demon emperor's ability to see through everything, Hubbs slowly said, "Don't you know exactly what I have here under your power? If you want to take it, nobody can stop it. And I, just when I think I should, where I should be, do what I should do. ”
The Demon King sighed, "I really don't know how to say you, is it worth admiring or is it too stupid? ”
“If Medanzo could be as stupid as I am, then you would never have made progress on Twilight today," said Habs. ”
“He can think of himself as the smartest one, and, in fact, so do some of our lords. ”
“As I said, that's just the opinion of some people. ”
The Emperor nodded, “So, Lord Habs, do you know why I'm waging this war? ”
Habs stood, and he couldn't see any ups and downs in the man's eyes across the street, as if to say only a trivial thing.
Now it seems that this supreme is always such an indignant and faint appearance that even the superiors will never tolerate the disrespect and offense, which he never sees in his eyes, thus giving the majority a lukewarm and peaceful illusion.
However, whatever the face of the Demon King is, whatever his posture, whatever he says in his mouth, may shake the whole eternal night.
Suddenly, Habs had a feeling that perhaps he had always underestimated the Demon King. Or the whole eternal night world underestimated him.
The Queen of the Night has always been so high, from blood, to power, to charm, she is so perfect and impeccable that her prestige has transcended race. Compared to her, neither the Demon Emperor nor the Spider Queen, nor even the superiors of the ancient times, were overshadowed.
Perhaps it is precisely under the moon that there must be a shadow, so people forget how the Demon Emperor climbed step by step from a young warrior of indistinguishable origin to the supremacy of dominating the entire demonic world.
Of the three supremes, the Demon King is one of the most approachable, and he is relatively active because he is the youngest. No one thought, precisely because of his activity, that he had made such a far-reaching layout in the dark.
Habs left Twilight only three days ago, and pre-war news from Leonard suggests that the outbreak will not last more than two days. In the Blood Battalion, being struck so extensively, there is a reason for Medanzo's betrayal, but it will never be the only reason.
Old and new parties within the bloodline have fallen for thousands of years, and there are opponents in Medanzo, who cannot hide their hands completely. And within parliament, although jihad has existed for 10,000 years, this all-out war against the blood tribe is not jihad, and werewolves and spider demons are not stupid, nor will they occupy the Demonic side overnight.
It's a sophisticated, elaborate plan that doesn't know how long.
Yet war has broken out and the demons have gained a decisive advantage from the outset, when the reasons for war can be said to be important or insignificant.
Habs doesn't quite understand why the Demon King spends his time with him.
“In fact, Lord Habs, you don't have to be so hostile to me, this war is not about annihilating the bloodline," said the Emperor. ”
Habs grinned, "Not to annihilate the bloodline? Medanzo betrayed, the King of Qing should have fallen, the Dark Gospel is mostly a few murderers at this moment, and if I guess correctly, there is no possibility of awakening in the sleeping ancestors. As for me, since I came back, I had no intention of leaving alive. Without the blood of the original ancestors, or the blood? ”
The Demon King patiently said: "I am not purifying the blood of my original ancestors, but purifying them. ”
“Purifying?” Habs still laughs.
"Habsky, what do you think of the long haul of blood? ”
Hubbs frowned, although he knew it was bound to be impossible to keep a secret in front of the Demon King, but listening to him clearly asked, it still made people feel uncomfortable. However, for the true superiors of all blood tribes, the bloodshed is the real epidemic, and I'm afraid even the full-scale war before us is less important than that.
“Why did the Blood River go so far that you didn't even know Her Majesty, did you find a reason? ”
“Not found, just guessed.” The Demon Emperor looked up to the void, just as he could also penetrate the world barrier and see the bloody river called the Dark Artery, "the bloody river began to go away, actually starting with the appearance of people in our sights. ”
"It was only a coincidence in time," Hubbs frowned, "and when dawn appeared on the power spectrum, there was more than one species of dawn creature. ”
“Is it a coincidence? When human beings appear in the blood recipe, the mark of the thirteenth clan disappears. ”
“There seems to be no connection between the two things. ”
The Emperor laughed and didn't argue much. He just said: "The mark of the Thirteenth Clan should be the closest to the origin of darkness in the Blood River, right? More pure than your black fire, the core of the black fire retains the appearance of blood, but it can completely transform the form. ”
Habs was stunned and all his ancestors lost their memories of the Thirteen clans, his newborn ancestors, much less their knowledge of them. He seemed a little disturbed, wondering whether it was because the Demon King had said so many blood secrets or because of what the Demon King was about to say.
The Emperor did not let his speculation linger too long, saying: "People are the natural life of dawn. When people appear in the blood family's recipe, blood is contaminated by the power of dawn. Thirteenth clan, that's why it died. ”
“It's just a guess. ”
“Perhaps. The world is dark, but the real night of eternity is lost at the moment when people appear. At first, there was no difference between human beings and ordinary animals and plants, so nobody realized what was happening. Even with the emergence of new forces in the power spectrum, no one has linked them. ”
“For a long time, the Dawn Force has grown in our world, while dark sources continue to be contaminated by the Dawn Force, gradually losing their original appearance. Until more than a thousand years ago, the accumulated erosion exceeded the threshold, the Dawn Rebellion, and the Blood Nation, as the first refuge of the human race, was actually punished, that is, the departure of the blood river. ”
Hubbs looked serious, "Are you saying Dawn Force is the reason why the Blood River is so far away? ”
“This is my guess. ”
In his capacity as the Demon King, Ken turned this speculation back to his mouth, and I'm sure he's already pretty sure. However, after the initial shock, Hubbs turned to calm and said, “Anyway, I'm a blood tribe. This war deserves my share. ”
But the Emperor didn't mean to do it, "Lord Habs, I don't want the blood to die, I just want to restore the purity of the ancient times. All those who have been cleansed are contaminated and cannot be reversed. Nor did I strike at all the bloodlines, and outside of Twilight, your other continents have little to do with it. ”
“The war has come to this point, and I cannot believe you. ”
“In fact, the speculation above is that you are the only blood family I have told so far. Do you know how those people in Medanzo were persuaded? ”
"Wasn't it bought? ”
The Emperor smiled: "If not persuaded, would it be that easy to buy? ”
Habs responded unexpectedly, "I don't want to know.” He lifted his hand, his blood wrapped around his wrist, and his blood-colored arms appeared hidden.
The Demon Emperor sighed, he stood with his bare hands and did not move at all, but instantly covered the terrace, pressing Hubbs' bloody armor back. “Metadron, my dear old friend, you are still so stubborn. ”
Hubbs' spine hit the terrace stone wall and his otherwise pale face flashed a hint of unusual red. When he heard the name of the Demon King, he stiffened the whole person before standing up straight. “I'm not an awakener. ”
"" Night vision doesn't seem like a real awakener, either, "said the Emperor. Don't you really think these are your problems out of the Holy River? ”
Habs didn't expect the Demon King to use it as evidence, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
“Metadron, besides you, I don't have any old friends from Adventurer's Day anymore.” The demon emperor's voice was very soft, as if he was flocking with friends in the spring garden, as if Hubbs had never existed before.
When the Demon King was an adventurer, he was an ordinary warrior, and he was a bard at the same time, to say something a little special. And at that time, the brothers of the Spike twins were said to be mediocre, the only ones famous for their musical talents. Kane and Metadron met in a salon of noble women in a neutral territory.
Habs was silent for a while and said, "Don't call me by that name. ”
"Habs, if you don't want to talk about the past, can't you believe what I'm saying?" ”
“Anyway, I never intended to betray the Blood River," Hubbs said. ”
"'But are you sure about that? The twins have the same talent, they are brothers connected by bone blood, but there is only one way to go for you, and that is to say, each other. This is not the worst, and the worst is that you are equally good with evil results, not that the two brothers have only one candy, you let Sameer go, but that the coronator must devour his brothers in order to get the full power of the mark. ”
Hubbs' face became very ugly, and his injuries and fatigue made him shake uncontrollably.
The Emperor sighed softly, "When I heard you went to sleep when you were only 200 years old, I knew you would never wake up again. But now that you're awake, that means Sameer blends his power into you. ”
"“ Kane, you can always see people's hearts, but... ”
For the first time, without courtesy, the Emperor interrupted Hubbs, saying: "This tragedy will not happen again if the long river of blood is restored to the ancient times. ”
Habs has been able to guess how the Demon King convinced those traitors. In fact, no one may know if all the problems will be solved once the Blood River has recovered, but the silence of the millennium has been too long, with one or two spouses occasionally appearing, instead of sparking hope, leaving the majority hopeless.
After a moment of silence, Habs said, "Your words are indeed enough to impress them. But you and I both know that the reason why the bloody river is so far away is still just a guess, and I don't think these can make me betray you. ”
