Purcell: Lord of the Void

Chapter 491: Wandering (12)

The Sky Evil Dragon King was keenly aware of the risks that would be hidden in this simple replacement. Therefore, he summoned all the Black Sky people for the first time in a long time to discuss countermeasures and how to escape unscathed from the upcoming new round of storms.

But the result disappointed him greatly, as most members did not comment on his concerns and suggestions, and thought he was making a big fuss out of nothing.

"It's just a simple internal transfer. Void Walker was not even dismissed. It was just a lateral transfer. Are you too sensitive?" Uranus asked first.

"Yes, yes. And even if there is a fight, it will be within their legion. It has nothing to do with me. Maybe it's a good thing. Look, the Demon Lord is looking for you, isn't he?" Kubesa even felt that this was an opportunity.

"Anyway, I won't leave. I've finally come back. If I die, I'd rather die at home." The Night King of One Hundred Demons made his position clear.

……

After a discussion, not only did they fail to reach a consensus, but they even created a split. The Sky Evil Dragon King could only try to smooth things over: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's talk about it next time."

After this brief meeting, Tian Xie Dragon King's expression became more solemn, and he said with some sorrow: "It is true that we can share adversity, but not wealth. I said so much, but it is nothing more than that I can't bear to part with the little melons and dates at home."

He deeply realized that the empty sugar-coated bullets had completely bewitched the elders' minds, causing them to relax their guard, soften their minions, and indulge in false prosperity. The worst situation had already occurred.

"Forget it. People with different ideals cannot work together. If you fail to recognize the situation, you will be in trouble sooner or later. It's hard to persuade you with kind words, damn ghost. It seems I have to make preparations early." The eyes of Tianxie Dragon King became firm again, and he took out an ancient book from a secret compartment in the corner.

This book was bound by parchment scrolls, and the words written on the parchment scrolls were even more surprising. They were all ancient dragon characters. You should know that this kind of characters was used exclusively for dragon sacrifices in ancient times. At that time, sacrifices were as important as wars, so they were usually performed by members of the royal family.

But since some time ago, the dragon priests were replaced by the Parodia clan. As for the reason for the change, the dragon clan has always been very secretive and outsiders have never known it.

Even among the current dragons, it is just something in the pile of old papers. Except for the dragon scholar Tashia who has passed away, no one in the current dragons can even read and recognize it completely. Moreover, due to the passage of time, the ancient dragon text is very rare. It has only been mentioned and appeared in a few scattered ancient books.

Tian Xie not only possesses such a well-preserved ancient dragon book, but also looking at his appearance one can completely recognize the contents and text inside. His identity is terrifying when one thinks about it carefully.

"I will take back everything you owe me." Tian Xie said coldly.

……

The Star Fortress, an artificial war fortress, was originally the starting point prepared by the Elf King for attacking the Chaos Star Domain during the War of Order. After the invasion of the Void, Emperor Apocalypse directly rejected all objections and moved the headquarters of the Holy Light Alliance from the King's Sanctuary to here.

This move is somewhat incredible nowadays. After all, this place is quite close to the Chaos Star Region. Even at the normal speed of an interstellar spacecraft, it only takes about a week to reach there.

With the attack speed of the Void Legion, they can cross the isolation zone in the morning and arrive in the evening. It is not an empty phrase to set out in the morning and arrive in the evening. This kind of place is quite suitable as a fortress, a bridgehead, a front position and a springboard for attack, but it is humorous to use it as a headquarters.

Moreover, during the Great Dark Sky, the Void Legion was at its peak. When the isolation zone was lost and the Star Fortress became the front line, it could be called crazy.

So everyone was against it at that time, and their reasons were very sufficient. But Emperor Tianqi silenced everyone with just one sentence.

"If not here, where do you want to go? Spiral, Sky-Splitting Rogue, or Kalan and Pano. Running around like dogs, homeless. And then being crushed to death by the enemy like a bug." Emperor Tianqi asked back coldly.

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. The originally angry Qin Qun instantly lost his spirit. Yes, they had retreated all the way from the edge of the universe to here. A series of defense facilities with the Star Fortress as the core was already the last large-scale fortress area in the entire universe.

If this place is lost, then the entire universe will no longer be defensible, the iron hoof of nothingness will step in effortlessly, and the four major galaxies will trample everything they care about and love under their feet.

They actually have nowhere to go. The universe is huge, but behind them are the five major galaxies. This is the lifeline of the universe.

“Look at how you are now, hesitant, timid, and at a loss. It’s not the same as before at all. It’s called retreat, but in fact it’s running away. You are the Holy Light Alliance, not the running champions.” Emperor Tianqi directly launched a burst of attacks, and the crowd didn’t even have the courage to look up, let alone refute.

Yes, I don't know when they started to fear the enemy more and more. In the past, they were always eager to gnaw bones and lay in the rear. Even if it meant sacrifice, they would not look back. But now, everyone just wants to preserve their strength and protect themselves. They call it resistance, but in fact, they are all defeated. They have unknowingly become the people they used to hate the most.

"I declare now that the Star Fortress is the command post of the Holy Light Alliance, and I will stay here. I'll leave the door open, and anyone who wants to leave can leave at any time. No one will laugh at you. Anyone who dares to face those monsters is a hero."

The command post fell into a long-lost silence. No one moved, and no one dared to look up. Finally, a fiery figure broke the silence. It was Ains.

"I've been through this kind of life of running away for a long time. Rather than living in such a cowardly way, I might as well fight them to the death. I'll stay. Even if I die, I'll burn a few little ghosts to accompany me in death."

The Fire King's statement was like a domino effect. The Elf King, the God of War Alliance and other forces also expressed their support for the war. Surprisingly, no one chose to leave.

After all, they were the Holy Light Alliance, and they were born when Chaos was rampant. At that time, the offensive momentum of the Demon Lord was not much worse than that of the Void Legion, so they had been aware of it since the day they assembled, and were ready to sacrifice at any time.

With the intervention of Emperor Tianqi, the defeat and hesitation of the Holy Light Alliance was finally stopped, and the justice forces of the Seer Universe began to regroup and stabilize the front line. More importantly, they were twisted into a rope again, from allies to partners. The Star Fortress seemed to have become a flag, always inspiring the Holy Light Alliance.

The command post is right behind him. Once this front line collapses, everything will be over.

However, with the appointment of the Void Walker, the expected large-scale offensive did not happen. The attack of the Void Legion slowed down or even stagnated, and the whole army took a defensive stance. The Holy Light Alliance also took this opportunity to launch a partial counterattack. They recaptured a lot of lost territory, and the Star Fortress also had a certain buffer zone. It was no longer at the forefront of the war. The status of his command post has not changed.

However, this put a heavy burden on the defense force. With such great defense pressure, intelligence was particularly important, so the Holy Light Alliance would send out hundreds of teams every day and night to conduct reconnaissance and monitoring in the surrounding areas.
