Chapter 6 The Ultimate No Stop

11days ago Xuanhuan Novels 7
My king does not need to be afraid, Aliya will always be with you

Playing with schizophrenia again?

I was obviously struggling in the hell calamity, but I was trapped in a big spiritual world again.

This time I saw the dark clouds. For some reason, every cloud was very dark, and the outlines of each piece were very clear. Rather than saying that it was a cloud in the sky, it was more similar to pouring pigments into clear water.

It was raining, and indigo blue thunder and lightning appeared on the sky and the ground

The next moment, I saw myself lying on the ground, my left hand and right foot had been lost, a big hole in my chest and lower abdomen, and blood flowed to the ground and merged with the rainwater. But what was really fatal was that every vein and blood vessels turned black, and a little black gas emerged from my body.

What kind of creature is the Nine-Headed Dragon? Even this demon god with the power against the heavens was severely damaged!

The pain came from my heart. I could clearly feel that this was the pain in the heart of the Demon Holy Emperor, but it was not from the wound on my body.

My head was resting on a pair of soft legs, and a face that seemed familiar and strange appeared in front of me, but I could still tell who she was at a glance. She was the original Aliya herself!

Her outline is sixty-sixth similar to that of Aliya now, but her eyes are full of humanity and full of care and love for the Demon Emperor.

Yes, I think I've seen this look somewhere...

Aliya smiled tenderly, her hand stroked my face and said: Thanks to my king's care for our clan, now Aliya can finally repay her kindness.

don't want!

Stop Ah!

The Demon Emperor was hysterically wailing in his heart. In fact, he was so seriously injured that he could not speak. However, his voice made me hear it very clearly. It was a complex emotion full of helplessness, pain and unwillingness, so heavy and strong that it made people almost crazy.

At this moment, the memories of the Demon Emperor flowed through my mind and finally understood what happened that year

The first generation Aliya was originally a weak group among the demons. They were not good at fighting and were almost extinct in the demon world.

Before they were extinct, the Demon Emperor came forward to protect them, and the price was to contribute the beauty in the tribe. In this case, Aliya stayed with the Demon Emperor as a maid.

Although Aliya surrendered from the situation, this little maid with a low status really fell in love with the Demon King and gradually became the woman he loved

Aliya has no combat power, their ethnic group has only one ability

Aliya smiled so simply and innocently, and she could not tell at all that her life was disappearing. She moved to the body of the Demon Emperor bit by bit. Transferring life was her only ability.

His face suddenly became hot, and the invincible demon god across the seven realms actually burst into tears!

My favorite king Ah, Aliya's life will be with you, and will always be with you forever forever!

Aliya's smiling face disappeared, and she lost her traces as if she had evaporated.

The strings in the heart of the Demon Emperor broke, and an irresistible striking rushes straight into his brain. This picture ripples like a lake dripping with water. A pair of figures appear in every small ripples. One of them is the photo of Peter and Aliya found in an ancient base.

I was so excited that in order to find the deceased Aliya, he was reincarnated for thousands of years. In life, the lovers met constantly, but they were separated for individual reasons. This was their fate.

If I were the holy emperor of the devil in this world, where was Aliya in this world?

Can I break the fate of all eternal memories after retrieving my memories?

The Hell Tribulation Fire finally passed, and the Winter Ball also completed its mission and disappeared, but there were still hot air pressure flowing around.

When I opened my eyes, Li Ke and his wife stood in front of me, and thick smoke came out from them. Cooperating with the burning land and trees, the burning red mud flew little by little in the sky, and they were simply the demon god climbing up from hell.

The orthodox dragon clan is originally resistant to magic, and with the thick skin of the dying old man, his vitality is like Okmike, and even advanced magic can't kill them.

The dragon knight who shares their abilities with them is naturally not afraid of magic, so Li Ke boldly uses the Hell Kill Fire

Li Ke obviously couldn't imagine that I could hold on, and said in a deep voice: I never thought that there were humans in this world who could survive the disaster of hell.

I didn't answer Li Ke, and there was only a coldness in my heart. I still kept looking out the beautiful figure of Aliya in every generation. Each one was so moving. It turned out that Yafanti lived in the world, with the purpose of finding her

Li Ke didn't know my situation. Seeing me standing silently, he raised the spear in his hand and said: To show your respect, Li Ke will give you a grand funeral!

The spear combined with the strength of the dragon clan swept towards my head, and at the same moment, Aliya's shadow disappeared, replaced by the sadness that the Demon Emperor had accumulated over billions of years. The red light of the Demon Moon Evil Book flashed violently, and an abnormal force occupied my brain and nerves.

Amid the cheers of the dragon knights, Li Bashanxi's gun move was gently grabbed by a human hand. His eyes, hidden deep in the thick helmet, showed unbelievable eyes, and the dragon knights were all dumbfounded.

I frowned and glared at Like and said: You are so annoying!

The Dragon Clan is definitely the strongest single creature in the human world

If the gods and demons did not appear

The consciousness of the devil-Sacred Emperor suddenly filled every nerve of my heart. However, he did not want to be resurrected or combined with me. Instead, he was a very simple reason, which stimulated his emotions by revealing Aliya's past, and revitalized the remaining memories in the evil book. Based on this point, we can also see how persistent he is in love with Aliya.

Li Ke reacted very quickly. He knew something unusual had happened and he didn't hesitate to let go of the spear in his hand.

However, the Demon Emperor's reaction is faster

The secret meaning of the devil and the holy emperor, the two snakes are tied up!

The power is like an electric current that passes through the spear. The moment before Li Ke lets go, summoning the lewd satin snake and the ghost horned snake. The two lewd beasts overlap and intersect each other, tied his wrists and spear together, and even bit the flying dragon under his seat.

The Demon Emperor didn't even look at it, and threw Li Kelian Feilong into the back of his head like throwing garbage.

Lecke screamed for the first time, and his right arm was scrapped instantly!

After a half moments, the ground trembled, and the flying dragon was thrown to the ground.

The Demon Emperor looked around and sneered: It turns out that he is a descendant of the idler, but he actually dares to be an enemy of this emperor?

Unconsciously, the Demon Emperor activated the Demon Summoning Technique, his biological sister and wife, the goddess of Qimeng

Qianling's huge phantom appeared behind him, and she chanted the spell with both hands.

The dragon knights nearby had already been scared. How did they think that humans could easily put down Lico? The worst was that the dragon beasts under their seats were all out of control, either wailing or kneeling down. The beasts, by instinct, had already noticed the danger of the demon emperor.

This time it's a big deal!

The situation is completely out of control now, and the Demon Emperor is full of resentment. Qianling must have used ultimate magic, and our distance is too close to the army, so maybe the enemy and our army will be wiped out by him in one breath

The earth-level magic magic appears in the Demon Clan’s Enchantment Curse!

I don’t know what this magic appears as the God of God is, but once it is used, many people will definitely die. The moment before Qianling started the spell, I activated another magic with my only remaining thought to instantly transfer it!

I dragged Qianling's phantom into chaos with my body. In this space without elements, any magic will lose its effectiveness.

Qianling's magic disappeared, her beautiful figure also disappeared, and the consciousness of the Demon Emperor was also rolled back into the evil book like a flood.

I suddenly eased my body, and I took my body again, gave me a secret breath, and slightly changed the route of return

Thanks to the Demon Emperor who came out to do it, the dilemma of the life-long death was reversed.

The instantaneous transfer of landing point was right beside Kiruel. Maki Fen waved down and cut open the cable on his body.

The four dragon knights next to us were shocked. They walked and ran backwards, and one of them accidentally fell to the ground and rolled up.

With the power of the Demon Emperor, I shouted: Get out of here!

The dragon knight looked at each other, and finally rode the wind dragon beast into the sky, and the earth dragon beast sneaked into the ground. Li Ke left with his right arm pale face

Huh, I actually made a profit!

I don't have the power of the Demon Emperor, but I'm actually all because of scaring.

The soldiers of our army ran back one after another after the Dragon Knight left. Kiruel, who had just watched a full set of scenes, asked: Nephew...you just now...

My feet softened and I sat down beside him and said: Don't ask me, I'm in a very mess now

Kiruel attempted to hide his ugly appearance like an adult toy just now, and stood up proudly and said: You divided two hundred people to escort the admiral back, and the others followed me to save Captain Lucy and His Highness Yanan.

I was so tired today!

The power of the Likke and the Dragon Knights troops was far beyond my expectations. If it weren't for the fact that the Demon King's consciousness was induced by accident, we would have failed in a daze.

Even though I have luck today, I still lost more than a thousand soldiers after counting, most of them were newly surrendered cavalry. I believe that this cavalry can no longer be used after this battle.

As for Lucy and Ya Nan's mistakes, the entire army was in danger, so the two temporarily recorded the military law. Since Ya Nan is His Highness, the Wingren Military Law will not do anything to her.

But Lucy is different. I believe that the Thirty Vine Whip can't leave, I hope she can make meritorious.

Yes, it seems good to let me show my love education

In my guess, Lik's right hand should be destroyed, and I believe that the Dragon Knights' troops were defeated for the first time, so they also need time to re-regulate their morale and confidence.

It should be quiet tonight

Anying Lizhai is a course in the Department of Military Studies. According to my brother who has developed limbs and simple minds, the student who studied the military department at Tauralia College, the key question for the first year's exam was Lizhai.

The first thing to do is to understand the terrain. All kinds of terrain have their own unique effects. Some students even connect different terrain into songs to recite. For example, if you don’t set up troops in low-lying places, you will be so happy to be flooded by people.

After selecting a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we will arrange the troops and camp tents. The patrol battalion faces the enemy, and the horses and food are placed in the rear. The establishment of the camp is designed for patrol and alertness.

Because women like Ashanna, Su Ji and Fanqin were all placed in the rear, Lucy was again in the horse barracks. On a good night in the sky, I actually ended up sleeping alone.

Looking at the roof of the tent, I felt more and more difficult to walk. It would be fine if I didn't have to rush back to the empire. The Dragon Knights troops that Liebroken could not be defeated in a few days. The advantages that I finally created seemed to disappear again.

Just as I was lying on the bed and couldn't help but reach into my pants to relieve my burden, I suddenly heard a slight sound, and a hint of alert flashed through my heart.

Based on years of experience of being ambushed and chased, it is almost certain that someone wants to assassinate me

However, I was secretly surprised that this military camp was set up by Red Beard. He was the defensive general who was guarding the road. The camp he set up could not make any mistakes, and he would definitely not be negligent in patrol. Who could sneak in and stab?

Take the left hand out of my pants, pretending to be asleep on the surface, but secretly summoned the ground-tied slime mine ball, putting the mine at the five-step range beside my bed

After the mine ball was laid, two figures appeared silently at the door of my coach's camp. In fact, this was simply the intuition of a swordsman. From the perspective of my lying down, I couldn't see the other person at all.

Intuition tells me that the two assassins are approaching, their steps are gentle and silent. On one side, I am waiting to watch the show, while on the other side, I am wondering. In order to reduce risks, assassins are usually used to acting alone. Is it a trend now that two-person assassination is popular?

When they were about to walk within five steps of me and I smiled in my heart, they suddenly stopped.

This surprised me. Could it be that these two assassins were so powerful that they found mine balls?

I almost couldn't help but jump up and fight back

A familiar voice said: Visit late at night, I hope the admiral will forgive me.

I have heard this sound several times. I sighed and sat up straight and looked at the two assassins.

These two people were also wearing night clothes, but their bodies were different. One was as strong as a cow, and the other was thin and elegant.

The thin one is the one I don't like, I call myself the Puchadi, the soup pill of Diyili woman, and the other one as rough as a buffalo is the former deputy captain of the Imperial Guard. The last time he went on a mission, Zhuangchen, who was responsible for protecting me

I glanced at the corner of my eyes and found that neither of them had weapons. They actually sneaked into the enemy formation with bare hands and were so brave. Zhu Xiao said: I thought Mr. Puchati liked women, but I didn't expect that even men would not let go. Alas, if you want to blame me, I only blame my younger brother for being too handsome.

Johnson's face was frosty, and he faintly exuded a hint of fighting spirit that he wanted to do. Instead, Puchati looked relaxed and said with a smile: The admiral laughed, and he was not interested in men. He came here tonight and just wanted to chat with the adults.

I put my hands on the back of my head, yawned, and acted unsuspectingly, saying: Youdao is a real person who doesn't show his appearance. I didn't expect that the young master is so skilled.

Johnson and Puchati exchanged a look. They couldn't understand why I was so relaxed, and they didn't even take the sword to defend themselves. As usual, two enemies sneaked into their tents. Even if they were not scared, they would be alert.

How could they understand that the evolutionary slime I invented can be hidden underground? I wish they could run up to die immediately.

On the other hand, I was also surprised. Johnson ranked second only to Lucy in the ranking of Chedi Warriors. It is not surprising that he has the ability to sneak in, but Puchati never took action. When the princess was planning marriage, he just used money to bribe his opponent, even giving people a cowardly feeling. It turned out that this dead chicken insect has always hidden its strength.

Pucha Causeway: Haha, compared to the Admiral who killed Gao Xia, it is nothing

Puchati is also a person with a few feet thick face. I turned to Johnson and said: I haven’t congratulated Johnson on his behalf, I finally sat on the throne of Captain Xie Di. Rislong has given you a good treatment, haha

On the surface I congratulate Johnson, but the meaning of the words is to laugh at him as bad as Lucy, and betray Ashanna and Georgia

Johnson snorted coldly and ignored me. I raised my eyebrows and said: Being the captain is indeed different. Even the attitude is straightforward. You sneak into the military camp. Could it be that you are addicted to abuse and want to ridicule me?

Puchati smiled and said: We are here this time to pass an oral order for His Majesty Rislong. If the Admiral is willing to serve us, we can double the rewards Ashanna will give you.

oh?

sharp!

No wonder Puchati, who has been hiding, does not hesitate to reveal his strength, and has to come to see me in person.

Aisanna is a slutty baby who is so beautiful. I have known this since before. From the information, she learned that she had been very close to Puchati, so the two must have ambiguous relationship.

If you want to destroy my existing relationship with Aishanna, Puchati is the ideal candidate, and the least it can also affect my impression of Aishanna.

Understanding this, I knew what the hell was going to do with Rislong and Puchati. I couldn't help laughing and said: Actually, Ashanna didn't promise to give me any benefits

Johnson and Puchati's expressions changed slightly, especially the latter was even more shocked. He should have imagined the interests between me and Aishanna, and at most he used the position of the emperor to lure me.

In this way, Puchati must take advantage of the situation to reveal her affair with Aishanna, thus pointing out that she likes to use her body to deceive men.

It's impossible for Puchati to think that I would answer like this

I shrugged and said: I know that I have this shortcoming, but I can't stand the woman's tearful attack. There is no way. Just help her conquer Di Yili casually. It's very handsome!

Johnson was so angry that his face turned red, and his eyes that wanted to kill were showing that I was shameless

Puchati was also stunned and dazed. He could not answer the unreasonable boring reason for me.

This scene is so funny. At midnight, three big men squeezed into the tent, two wearing night clothes, while I was wearing nightgowns and night hats embroidered with beautiful dogs.

Puchati said: In fact, His Majesty Rislong has long been interested in the Admiral. If the Admiral is willing to serve, His Majesty will definitely welcome him.

I couldn't help laughing and said: Who can't speak vernacularly? Is the prince lacking some sincerity?

After hearing the situation turned around, Puchadi was greatly inspired and said: Is Monnebis County, northeast of Dierli, 1,600 miles long enough?

This time I was excited. This Monnebis is located in the corner of the northeast of Dielli. The city includes two medium-sized cities and six small towns. It belongs to an ordinary agricultural area and its economic capabilities still need to be developed.

However, what really attracted me was not economic power, but had two docks in the country

To the north of Dierli is the famous Wangyue River. This river connects to the green basin, the three major cities of the Holy Land Gaia and Febenli. If even Monnebis falls into my hands, I will be really smiling at that time

You should know that after establishing the city of Tiefu, it has become the economic intersection of the orcs, fairys and Wuluost tribes and one country

If Monnebis has ruled, the northern waterway of Diyili will be opened, and the channel of Tifebenli City will be extended to the west to the Diyili Empire, and even directly to the foot of the Fengling Mountains of the Winged Humans. As the major shareholder of Tifebenli City, what I earn should be enough for me to eat, drink and have fun for several lifetimes.

Furthermore, this vast territory of 1,600 miles is not far from Feben City. It takes a few days to take a fast boat or a fast horse. Even if I am in the empire, I can still control the remote control. It is the best place to establish a golden house in Diyili. How can I not be moved?

Hey, can money actually make me erection?

Puchati did not give me time to think, and continued: In addition, Monnebis can enjoy seven years of complete tax exemption, and the title of the Count of the Gadieri Empire, and the salary of three thousand gold coins per quarter. If the admiral is still unsatisfied, you can still talk about it in detail slowly.

I have been persuaded to surrender a lot, but I didn’t expect that someone would be persuaded to surrender again today. It turned out that it was so good!

The salary of three thousand gold coins per quarter is not that much, even the three marshals of our empire. I can’t say that I am as greedy as I am. I am dissatisfied with the three words!

Taking a deep breath, I asked: I believe no one in the world can refuse such generous conditions, but what do you use to guarantee your promise?

Puchati seemed to have expected that I would ask this. He took out a black cloth bag behind his waist, took out a record book of ancient pine wood boards with parchment paper, opened it on the ground and said: This is a letter written by His Majesty Rislong, with royal lacquer and sealed, and is also attached with the boundary map of Bis in Inner Mongolia. As long as the admiral nods, Monnebis and the title are the things in the adult's bag.

damn it!

If I say that Li Silong loves talent and is thirsty, I won’t believe it if I beat him to death. Ninety percent will be a big trap, but the official letter he wrote in his own hand is placed at present, and the bait on the trap is too tempting.

Half true and half false, Puchati tried hard to keep his poker face so that I could not see his emotional changes

Outside this commander's tent, soldiers patrol each other from time to time, which adds to the current stimulation. After some consideration, I said: Tell me what you want

Johnson weakened with a provocative momentum. Puchati smiled slightly and took out a bottle of tiny liquid from his night clothes, saying: Just let Princess Aishana drink it, and the Admiral will take Lord Kiruel and others to surrender.

My face changed slightly and I asked: Poison?

Puchati shook his hand and said: The Admiral misunderstood. His Majesty is kind-hearted, and he can't bear to harm his own sister.

This bottle is a special sweating pill. After drinking it, it will make people sleep for about fifty days. We dare not make small moves in front of the Admiral!

They knew it themselves, and if they could not even distinguish between poison and sweating, I, an alchemist, went back to the countryside to plow the fields.

But another problem arose, they asked me to take medicine to Ashanna, that is, they had eyeliner in our army and were confident in finding out about Ashanna's situation

What are you going to deal with Ashanna and Kiruel?

Speaking of Ashanna, a obscene look flashed in Puchati's eyes, but he quickly replied, saying: Your Majesty has made it clear that it will be decided by the Admiral.

Based on Puchati's subtle reaction just now, if I surrender, Aysanna might end up falling into his hands.

When I just remembered Ashanna, a bold plan flashed across my mind, and my original depressedness was also wiped out. I nodded gently and said: I need two days to consider, but I must first see if your sincerity is true.

Puchati was on guard and asked: I wish to listen to the admiral's opinion

I ask to defeat the retreat and let us enter Berlin City first

Puchati and Johnson looked at each other, the former bowed their heads and said nothing, while the latter had a drop of cold sweat on their faces.

This condition seems harsh, but they cannot refuse to agree. If they really cooperate with me sincerely, they can naturally withdraw without worries, otherwise it would mean that they were deliberately deceiving them.

Puchati surrendered and said: One word is determined, we wait for the admiral's good voice

After being fucked by those two bachelors, they lost all their sleepiness. They simply sat up and wiped the sword.

Since the spaceship trip, I have not taken care of this sword well. After careful observation, the red bead inlaid on the end of the handle is emitting a glimmer of light.

When Li Ke was grilled with Hell Calamity Fire, he accidentally hit the fire of the Fire God's Heart absorbed the flames from the Demon Realm, and even emitted a strange red light at that time.

Now hold Maji Fen in his hand. Although the length and weight of the sword body have not changed, the temperature of the hilt is different.

When the fingertips touch the sword body, it is no longer the cold metal of the past, but maintains a constant temperature of about thirteen degrees.

Markey Burn seems to have improved

While starting to maintain Maji Fen, he thought about Puchati’s previous suggestions and corrected the current strategy

After seeing Li Ke's tactics, if I use guerrilla tactics to deal with him, I am confident that I will not lose, but guerrilla tactics will consume a lot of time and hinder my return to the formation of the empire.

Based on this judgment, instead of fighting a tough battle with Lislong and Puchadi, it is better to play a foul game with Lislong and Puchadi to see who is the world's number one traitor

The guards passing by at the door found that the lights suddenly lit in the head coach's camp and asked: Is there anything special about the Admiral?

Carefully put away Maki Fen, I said quietly: I'm worried, brothers are worried, I just can't sleep

The outside of the camp was silent for a while, as if they were talking about something, and I secretly blamed myself for not being able to change my tone.

Whether it is Dieli or Wuluost, the class concept of the nobles is also very strong, even if the average hundred people are already very different from the small pawns.

However, the situation in the north of the empire was different. After I took office as the city lord of Fei Benli, I decided to build an army without class concerns, from the commander to the pawns to the brothers.

The reason why the Northern Alliance is strong today is because of the inseparable cohesion in the legion, and the loyalty and righteousness of the Northern Army is also famous throughout the country.

These soldiers at the station gate are not famous, but they will certainly be surprised if I suddenly call you brothers.

A few minutes later, someone outside the camp asked again: Does the Admiral need a woman? Can the villain find a few

Huh?

Something weird!

From here to Berlin City, it will take five hours to rush, and it will be bright every time you go back and forth

If it weren't for the prostitutes in Berlin City, there would be only two possibilities left. One was the accompanying military prostitutes, and the other was to catch a few village girls to vent, but as far as I know, we did not lead the military prostitutes with us.

As for catching a village girl, it is even more impossible, unless Kiru's fear of being punched through his head with one stick

Pulling up the curtain of the handsome tent, I frowned and asked: Where did the woman you are talking about come from?

There were five soldiers outside the camp. They were shocked and knelt down on one knee and said: They are prostitutes in Berlin City, and they came here to take over their business.

A prostitute deliberately ran to the battlefield from the city?

When did they start? Did Kirule and Lucy know?

The five people shook their heads and said in panic: It started last night, and the two generals don't know yet

Kiruer is known for his ability to defend the city. Relatively speaking, he is a general with stricter military governance. There are foreign women who are close to the military camp and will be driven away immediately with his cautious personality. Therefore, the soldiers who tasted the sweetness are unwilling to let him know.

As for Lucy, there would be soldiers who would be so stupid that the female general would find out that she was called a chicken?

I was wondering just now why Puchati and Johnson could easily touch my camp. It turned out that someone had explored the way for them first

Actually, if you think about it carefully, using women to do their own things is Puchati's style. Those women who pretend to be prostitutes may be degenerate nobles. This is why these soldiers are addicted to them.

Puchati is worthy of being the number one young man in Diyili. The most vulgar and shameless devil of this century can be so cheap that he pretends to be a chicken to others. Even my younger brother is willing to give him a disadvantage!

Yes, is this a special hobby?

Looking at the kneeling patrolman was so scared that he didn't dare to look up. I smiled and said: Don't be afraid, let's talk about it, I'm not as unkind as Kiruel and Lucy.

The five patrolmen dared to stand up. The head of the team said: I'm really sorry, I'm asking the Admiral not to mention this matter in front of the general, otherwise it will affect many brothers.

He realized that Puchadi was not simple. He saw through the soldiers' ideas, not only successfully concealed Kiru's eyes and ears, but also allowed them to take the initiative to keep secrets.

Hey, boy has yours

Whether those prostitutes have any problems must be judged by me personally, but bringing them to the head coach's camp will only alert the snake. With Puchati's cunning, I must know that I have discovered the secret.

What's even more troublesome is that this matter should not be known to Kiruer, Duodu and others, so as not to cause any more exotic branches.

I couldn't help laughing and said: Everyone is men, of course I understand, but it's always too much to find a prostitute to come to the head coach's battalion, and I don't want to break the military rules. If the brothers don't mind, can I lend me a soldier uniform?

The five soldiers were slightly stunned. No matter how stupid they were, they knew what I had planned. The team hesitated until I handed him ten silver coins. He immediately patted his chest and agreed.

Otherwise, it would be possible to proving my thoughts by Kirul and Puchati. The best way is to pretend to be a soldier and use my younger body to verify the correctness of those women.

This time I was so wronged by myself, but there was no way to do it for the sake of public opinion. So-called I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell?
