Chapter 1323 Internal Friction
"At that time, General Myrion, together with General Frost and I, marched eastward at the same time. After three months of fighting, we regained all the lost ground and drove Dobia's army back to the other end of the land bridge. Next, our empire The war with Dubia returned to the tug-of-war of the land bridge. Now the empire has invested 300,000 troops in Furnace City, and garrisoned 100,000 troops in Hellburg and Steel City respectively, forming an extremely deep and wide line of defense. Biya wants to go deep into the empire like last time, unless the Black Emperor goes to conquer again, it is absolutely impossible."
After Baal finished speaking, Spinak chuckled in the shadow: "Frius is not an idiot. Last time he attacked me while I was asleep for the sake of standing up. Now that I am awake, he will There's no benefit in doing so. That kid is very smart, don't think he will do such a thankless thing."
Spinak said again: "Baal, our war with Dobia is actually meaningless in the eyes of me and Frius. But even so, neither I nor he can end the war intend. Do you know why?"
Baal was able to climb to the position of Grand Warlord not purely by force, but with a bit of brains. Since Spinak pointed out that war is meaningless, he thought in this direction, and then came to a conclusion. But he didn't dare to say this conclusion, he pretended to be stupid and shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know."
"You know it, but you don't dare to say it." Spinak said in a deep voice, "It's for internal friction."
"The genes of our Baal people can be fused with other foreign genes in a near-perfect way to give birth to brand new descendants. It is no exaggeration to say that since the birth of the first Baal people in Agares, our evolution has not stopped for a moment However, this form of life cannot be said to be without drawbacks. I think you also know how short the reproductive cycle of Baal women is. Every year, a large number of babies are born on this planet, and our growth cycle is also short Terrible. It takes eighteen years for humans to grow from a baby to adulthood, but we only need seven years!" Spinak's tone was a little more emotional: "There are many times when I even doubt that this race is a life weapon at all. .With the ability of infinite evolution, extremely short reproduction period and growth period, it can be said that the Baal people have been preparing for battle since the moment they were born."
"Bloodthirsty and aggressive are almost the nature of every Barr. We are a race full of aggression, and war is our vocation. Then, there are various problems that come with it, the most serious of which is Agareth's Resources." The voice in the shadow became heavy: "Agareth is not a planet rich in resources, maybe we have rare things that other planets do not have, such as abyss crystals. If the entire planet can be used as a measure, Our resources are still too poor. Such a barren planet cannot support the explosive growth of the Baal population."
Speaking of this, there is no need for Spinak to go on.
It is for this reason that the two Supremes know that war is meaningless, but neither side is willing to stop this behavior. If wars are not used to consume too many lives of the Bar people, the ever-increasing population will sooner or later cause the ecology of the entire planet to lose its balance.
At the same time, the interstellar defense line established by Idahua Star and many advanced races in the universe in the Jotun star field prevents the Baal people from transferring the excess population to other planets. Therefore, the current situation will be formed.
Baal was thinking about the deeper meaning behind Spinak's words, when suddenly the Demon King said in the shadow, "I'm going to meet Frius."
The Great Overseer's whole body was shocked, and his eyes were burning with fire as he looked at Youying. At this moment, he couldn't care less about etiquette. That passionate gaze seemed to see through the shadow. It's a pity that Spinak didn't continue talking, but reached out and pointed to a place on the map. There is the northern border of the Shadow Empire, across the desert with the "Hill of Death" and the Great Wasteland.
"His Majesty?"
"I want you to sit in the fortress Mokdan." The demon king in the shadow said: "Not long ago, I found that the time veil of the Lost Realm was suddenly removed. This is very unusual. Something happened to the wasteland, so I need you to guard the gate of the empire for me."
Baal said solemnly, "I obey, Your Majesty."
"You set off immediately, and take the three thousand mad shadow troops with you."
Baal narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something, but finally nodded, took his leave and left the Shadow Hall.
The two scarlet dots in the shadow were still facing the map on the long platform alone, and stretched out a hand wearing an iron glove from the shadow, and Spinak pointed at the map. The map immediately moved to the east, and the light on the stone platform changed complicatedly. When it finally stopped, a three-dimensional model of a city appeared in Spinak's sight.
That is Sunset City.
"It's time to meet again, Frius. I'm afraid this is what you expected, right?"
Ida Huaxing, Golden City.
A series of long whistles came from the sky, disturbing the birds on the elegant window sill. The frightened bird flew away from the window sill, and a snow-white feather mixed with a few golden threads floated down in mid-air, lying quietly on the window sill.
Lucy glanced at the feather, and said to a silver bracelet on the table next to it, "Go, bring it to me, just missing a bookmark."
The silver bracelet suddenly twisted. It was obviously metal, but it twisted and deformed like mercury, turning into a silver spider. It swiped its silvery opponent quickly, climbed up the window sill, and brought the white and gold feather to Lucy. Lucy put the feather on the book she was reading, and closed the book. She rubbed the space between her brows, she looked very tired, she just put her head on the book and stared out the window in a daze.
There was another whistling sound of starships breaking through the sky outside the window.
"Your Highness, I suggest you go home and have a good sleep. I heard that you have been in the library for three days." A slightly reproachful voice sounded.
Lucy looked up, and someone came in from outside the library door. He was dressed in a clean white long coat with a scale pattern embroidered on the chest with gold thread. Holding a law code in his hand, the man strode up to Lucy.
"Link?" Lucy jumped up and said in surprise, "Didn't I hear that you went to the surface province?"
"It just happened to be on vacation recently, so I came back to see you. I should have come here long ago, if I knew what that bastard Franco did." Link still had a serious face and no smile.
Last time Franco tried to cheat on Lucy on the white arched bridge outside the library, but he was forced to retreat by Jin Qiangwei. Orfascius was furious when he learned of this incident. Franco was arrested that day, and three days later he was dispatched to Planet Bianhammer for exile. Not to mention, even his father was demoted three ranks in a row. The wrath of Orfascius made everyone in the government and the public see his determination to protect Lucy, and also made some people who had the same thoughts as Franco have to focus on banqueting Lucy, the emperor's daughter, in the emperor's heart.
Some people also think that what the emperor is actually protecting is Golden Rose, but no matter which one, after Franco's incident, no one dares to provoke Lucy easily. Orfascis also ordered Marquis Marquis, who was in charge of the security of the palace, to find a suitable bodyguard for Lucy. Although Lucy said that he didn't need it, this time Orfascis insisted strongly, so Lucy had to give up.
After Link returned to the City of Gold, when he heard that Franco had done such a thing, he was almost so angry that he wanted to find trouble with that bastard. Hearing that Franco had been dispatched to the army, he gave up, but immediately inquired about Lucy's whereabouts, so he hurried over.
Lucy shook her head, sat down and said, "I can protect myself."
Link looked at her, pushed the frame and said, "He promised that I would protect you, but now"
"It can't be Alan's fault." Lucy shrugged: "At that time, he didn't know that he was the Son of Twilight."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
Link sighed, sat down beside her and said, "I don't want to be a villain in vain, but I have to persuade you. Alan can't change the fact that he is the Son of Twilight. Even if he is not fully awakened, he is still a time bomb. Your Majesty can let him go for you, and promise to turn a blind eye as long as he doesn't wake up, but can other people do the same? They can't do it, including me, even if I'm sitting here right now, I still think Allen is a threat."
"A potential threat."
"If you refuse to give up on him, one day, you will still be forced to stand against the Great Emperor."
Lucy shook her head: "how can I give up on him."
"I can't give up on him!" Lucy's voice was not loud, but her tone was firm: "If even I give up on him, then who else will save him?"
"I know Alan's character very well. He doesn't want to be the Son of Twilight at all. This is the shackle imposed on him by fate. No matter what, I will definitely find the key to unlock this shackle!"
Link looked at her seriously, and smiled gently after a moment: "I knew you would say that, if you were so easy to change, you would not be the Lucy I know. That stubborn girl, as long as you I will do what I believe. Then, if there is anything that needs help, please let me know, although I may not be able to help much.”
"It's enough if you are willing to support me." Lucy also laughed.
"By the way, I heard that the earth is in trouble now?" Link asked again.
Lucy nodded and sighed: "I don't know much about the details, but I heard that the Nirms came out in droves, somehow bypassed the interstellar defense line, and directly opened the space channel near the moon. The earth sent a request for help. Based on the obligations of the allies, my father has ordered Duke Gulliver to bring a fleet to support. You heard it too, these days are full of the sound of starships launching into the sky."
