[Volume VIII: Transforming into a Demon] Chapter 39: The Heart of the Emperor
Darkhan shot one blood arrow after another, his face became paler and his lips almost lost their color.
He was shooting arrows continuously, as if just to get closer to Yeze.
Yeze didn't know what Dalhan's next move was, but he had no reason to be afraid.
In an instant, the two were only a few steps away from each other.
At this time, Darhan's blood arrows were exhausted.
The air flow on Ye Ze's arm swelled, and the much dimmed fire spear flashed, and the flames rose again.
call
Yeze took the spear and stabbed Darkhan in the chest.
A flash of madness flashed in Darkhan's eyes, and he actually opened his arms to welcome him.
puff!!
Two fire spears penetrated the chest.
Darkhan's face twisted for a moment, then he hugged Yeze tightly with a bang.
In Yeze's surprised eyes, Darhan was completely enveloped in flames, and smoke rose from his mouth and nose.
"You really don't want to die..." Ye Ze glanced at Darhan complicatedly and asked, "Is it worth it?"
Darhan's voice was hoarse and his breath was weak, but his arms holding Yeze were still strong.
"Not killing you back then was the biggest mistake in my life. Today, it's time to make up for it. Only when you die can the eagle of the grassland take off, and the glory of Amalia can shine on the earth again..."
Yeze shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Darhan's eyes narrowed, and he yelled with all his last strength:
"Beast magic skills, Night Owl!!"
With a cry, Darhan's body suddenly twisted, turning into a black and red sharp arrow, passing through Ye Ze's chest like lightning. For a moment, the flames near Ye Ze's waist and abdomen seemed to be evacuated.
In Darhan, only one head remains.
Night Owl, Blood Owl's most powerful beast magic skill. You can choose to turn any part of the body into a sharp arrow and shoot it out. The more important the part sacrificed, the stronger the power.
In order to kill Ye Ze, Darhan completely gave up his body. He exchanged his life for his life!
Looking at the blood hole on Yeze's chest, Darkhan's eyes were filled with excitement and madness as he was dying.
"Are you satisfied?" Ye Ze asked calmly.
Darkhan's eyes were stunned and he looked at Ye Ze blankly.
"I have no intention of destroying the peace of the grassland people. I just want to bring real peace to the grassland..." As Yeze spoke slowly, the blood hole in his chest healed quickly. After a while, the skin was intact again.
Darhan was speechless at this time, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.
Ye Ze grabbed the remaining head of Darkhan and said calmly: "Go. Maybe we can meet again in the world of monsters..."
With a bang, flames rose, and Darkhan's head was reduced to ashes in the flames in the blink of an eye.
Yeze felt the power in his body. After accelerating the repair of his body, 30% of his original power was left.
Ye Ze turned his attention to the three priests who fell to the ground.
Two of them had truly temporarily lost their ability to fight due to backlash. But Zark had already recovered a lot.
Yeze walked slowly towards Zark, and the flames on his body gradually extinguished.
Looking at Ye Ze who was approaching, Zark was struggling a bit in his eyes, and the Demon Sealing Card that had been secretly held in his hand started to rattle.
As Yeze came closer, Zark sighed secretly, decisively took back the magic sealing card and sat up.
"What's your name?" Yeze asked.
"Zark." Zark replied.
Ye Ze showed a smile: "You made a smart choice."
This name is not unfamiliar to Ye Ze. Before coming here, Snake helped Ye Ze collect information that contained a very detailed introduction. He was quite prestigious within the temple and was dissatisfied with Darkhan and disapproved of Darkhan and Bei.
Frost Empire Cooperation.
"Because I haven't lived enough." Zark was also considered a bachelor and asked directly: "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want the prairie people not to get involved in the war between the two empires." Yeze chuckled: "Of course. It would be better if it can make Romenas feel uneasy."
Zark looked at Yeze deeply and asked, "Are you working for the Nanyan Empire?"
The two empires were competing against each other. Zark didn't want to get involved too deeply like Darhan, but he didn't want to do it completely for nothing. Zark knew that Ye Ze was from the Nan Yan Ye family, so he guessed that Ye Ze was working for Nan Yan.
"I just said that I don't want you to get involved in the war between the two empires. No matter what form it is, I don't want you to." Yeze said with a smile: "If you want to get benefits from me, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
Zark's eyes flashed and he lowered his head in thought.
"That's all. You decide what to do." Ye Ze didn't say much and turned to leave.
Yeze doesn't need any commitment from Zark, he just needs to plant a seed of instability for him. As long as the grassland people are not monolithic, Romenas' plan will naturally collapse.
Looking at Ye Ze's leaving back, Zark's eyes flickered. Then he looked at the two priests who fell on the ground, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
He reached out and pulled out a dagger from the boot...
………………………………
A few days later, Romenas had several more notifications on his desk.
They were the accidental death of Darhan and the attack on the military supplies convoy by the prairie people.
"This Yeze..." Romenas couldn't even get angry now. He really couldn't understand why people like Yeze existed in the world. He was really hurting others but not benefiting himself.
He gained nothing from killing the great priest of the grassland people. The only effect was to ruin his own plan and offend the Beishang Empire.
Romenas didn't expect the prairie people to be his main offensive force. He just didn't want them to stab him in the back. Furthermore, he wanted to use the prairie people's powerful mobile combat capabilities to smuggle them to the southern continent to find Yanqueluo.
Trouble. The barbarians and the prairie people cut off Yanqueluo's supply line. In this way, you can completely let go of your hands and feet on the frontal battlefield.
But after Yeze made such a fuss, the plan was completely messed up.
The barbarians stayed in the wild mountains, and the grassland people not only refused to cooperate, but also caused trouble behind them. This time, the situation was completely reversed, and everything went to Yanqueluo's side.
But Romenas didn't know that at this time, Queen Yanqueluo of Nanyan also had similar troubles.
Yanqueluo is also contacting savages and grassland people, but the results have not been satisfactory.
The barbarians agreed to her request at first, but today suddenly a letter came from Lan Tong, saying that the previous alliance was a cover. In fact, the barbarians had an agreement with the Beishang Empire, and if a war broke out, they would stab the Nanyan Empire later.
And the pirate leaders headed by Harry also had a very subtle attitude towards Yanqueluo. Yanqueluo's initial request to them was just to tell them not to side with the Northern Frost Empire and not to harass the Imperial Navy.
The other pirates were fine, but the feedback from Harry was not optimistic.
He said both inside and outside his words that he did not agree with them going to war.
Of course, all of these point to the same person, Ye Ze!
Yanqueluo looked at Yefeng Yeyu who was sitting next to her. They also had black lines on their foreheads. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
This boy from the Ye family helped him consolidate the imperial power and thought he could make some contribution to the future of the empire. But now it seems that it would be good if he does not harm the empire.
"Don't you know anything about Yeze?" Yanqueluo asked with a glimmer of hope.
Now Yanqueluo can only place her hope on these two people from the Ye family.
Although Ye Feng has made it clear that Ye Ze was picked up, their feelings are still there. If there is anyone in this world who can convince Ye Ze, it is Ye Feng.
Ye Yu shook his head and said: "Crow Ming has infiltrated Beishang and collected a lot of information. Some of the core figures of the Hand of Darkness... such as Maris, Fahra, and even the princess of the Beishang Empire, Elaine, whose pseudonym is Gu
We all found traces of Derian's blue eyes. But no one knows where he is except Yeze. Even the internal staff of the Dark Hand don't know."
Ye Feng even smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, don't look at me either. That guy has no news at all except for the few letters he has received."
Yanqueluo frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Then what he said, do you believe it?"
"I really want to believe it." Ye Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "But his story is too sensational."
Yanqueluo also laughed dumbly.
After looking at the two of them, Ye Feng said: "The more sensational it is, the more likely it is to be true."
"Do you believe it?" Ye Yu looked at Ye Feng in surprise.
"I didn't believe it at first. But the more I thought about it in the past few days, the more it seemed true." Ye Feng said quietly: "I know that kid. Although he often goes too far in his nonsense, on important things
He has always been very measured. For such a big matter, even if he simply wanted to prevent the two countries from fighting, he would not make up such a ridiculous story. And..."
Ye Feng paused and said with a bit of contempt: "That boy is not a saint, and he has no compassion for others. If there is no special reason, he will not go to such trouble to offend the two empires. It is unbearable to see.
Only an idiot would believe it if all lives are destroyed!"
……………………
"Ah sneeze!!"
Yeze, who was walking in the forest, sneezed and rubbed his nose.
The tricks of the two empires have been destroyed by themselves. If they still want to fight, they can only fight head-on. The Bridge of Dead Souls is more than a thousand meters wide, which sounds like a huge place. But when two such huge armies are fighting, it is still difficult to fight with them.
It's almost like being crowded in an alley. Apart from unnecessary casualties, it's difficult to achieve substantial results. They probably wouldn't do such an unwise thing...
……………………
"Father, I'm going to make contact with the grassland people." The third prince Dandi said to Romenas: "Zarke, the new high priest of the grassland temple, has had some contacts with me..."
"No need!" Romenas said with deep eyes, "Immediately order Huget to set up a large tent in front of the Bridge of Dead Souls. I will personally go to supervise the battle! Even if it is a complete head-on battle, I will let Bei
Frost’s cavalry sets foot on the land of Nanyan!!”
The third prince didn't seem surprised by Romenas' decision. He responded and bowed down!
………………………………
At the same time, the Nanyan Empire.
"Don't worry about Ye Ze's story, Romenus is not a patient person." Yan Queluo's beautiful eyes flashed and she waved her hand: "Send the message to the other generals, I will wait for them in front of the Bridge of Dead Souls!"
Yan Queluo said, but her eyes were fixed on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng stood up and said, "No matter what Ye Ze said is true or false, the handle of my sword is in your hand."
A touch of tenderness flashed in Yanqueluo's eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Let's set off immediately!"
……………………
From the perspective of stakes, there is nothing wrong with Yeze's idea. However, Yeze, who has always been cynical, does not understand the mentality of those in power, or even the emperor.
The outcome of this war may not be decided in a short time, and the battlefield may not even leave the Bridge of Dead Souls. But both Romenas and Yanqueluo have to fight this battle.
