Chapter Six

For most people, a glorious battle that took place in Foxborough ended just before dawn. It came suddenly and left in a hurry, just like a performance that ended in the middle, when the actors disappeared.

After disappearing, the audience left the stage one after another, leaving only a messy area above and below the stage, and a few pillars of smoke rising from the rubble...

As he wrote this, the quill froze on the parchment. The white-haired Demon Temple priest turned his head and looked into the distance from the small window, landing on the location of the Bruck Palace. He still remembered the scene from a few hours ago.

There were bursts of roars coming from over there, and the powerful force that violently shook the altar of the Demon Palace was felt. But at this time, there was silence there, and there was not even a trace of light around.

The light of the Jedi barrier disappeared, and the mighty superior warriors retreated. In a blink of an eye, Foxburg returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened. No one among the royal family seemed to have disappeared, and the various ministries of the empire were still performing their functions.

The sergeants took to the streets and ordered the fleeing civilians to go back and prepare for another war. The crowd under the whip was as docile as sheep, and no one asked what happened...

Will they, we, still remember this night in decades, or even hundreds of years? In the endless years, how many people will know what really happened tonight?

Yes, like everyone else, I don’t know exactly which clans participated in tonight’s battle and who they were attacking; but I know that the hidden meaning of this battle is by no means just mine.

It's as simple as anyone can see.

"Jedi Barrier" is a complex and great set of magic. It was taught by the Dark Demon Clan when the Dark Demon Temple was established. It is extremely powerful and requires thousands of skilled magicians to cast it at the same time. In history, this powerful magic has

It has not really been used, and similar magic has only been used once. Thousands of years ago, when the Temple of Light was besieging the "Demon of Slaughter", they used the secret method they obtained from the Light God Clan.

Finally, they surrounded the opponent and waited for the help of the Light God Clan.

There is no doubt that two battles separated by thousands of years have the same significance, or this one battle will exceed it. I don’t know how to describe this significance. You must know that thousands of years ago, the defeat of the Killing Demon did not directly affect

To the ordinary people in the world, it only affects the existences that we don't know and are destined to be affected, thus indirectly changing our future path.

The reason why history is called history is probably because two similar things are not exactly the same. Tonight, at least I know that this battle has no result. Thousands of years ago, the demon of killing was eliminated by the God of Light.

But today, the superior tribe did not announce the results of their victory, and all we saw were the ruins of the place. Perhaps the superior tribe had other deeper meanings, because the wisdom of the superior tribe is not something I can understand, but I do have this feeling in my heart.

A kind of doubt - who is the other party? What is their fate?

Because their (their) fate will affect countless things we don’t know, and it will also affect countless decisions made for us. Somehow, all these consequences, whether good or bad, will befall us in the future.

.

In any case, our future path has been changed, tonight, and more often than we can even notice.

In any case, I humbly pray that there will be our footprints on the road in the future.

No matter what, the Dark Lord loves the world and will surely guide us in the way forward.

After writing this, the priest closed the scroll, pondered for a long time, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few large words on the scroll: Battle of Foxburg - Battle of the Ruins. Then, the priest stood up tremblingly and put the scroll into an iron box.

The box is hidden in the bottom shelf of the closet.

The first ray of sunlight jumped out of the horizon, passed through countless buildings and pavilions on Hell Island, and finally fell on the Dark Lord's hall.

The Demon Clan's eldest princess Frigg Isabant, the first Demon General Emine, the second Demon General Fogg, the third Demon General Gudrun, as well as the leaders of Demon Wing and Clean Chen are at this moment.

Divided into three rows, front, middle and back, they knelt down on the carpet with breathless concentration. At the other end of the carpet, the Dark Lord sat coldly in his throne, his eyes neither happy nor angry, separated by a small light curtain.

Between the two, the scene in Foxborough last night was being replayed over and over again.

The atmosphere in the hall was almost stagnant. The silent Dark Lord brought a huge sense of oppression to all the demons. This was not only because the Dark Lord was the leader of the demons, but also because he was the heart of all the demons.

Faith - they all personally experienced what happened last night and experienced an unprecedented shock. Now, it is the turn of the faith in their hearts to experience it. What kind of impact will the Dark Lord be affected? This impact will bring darkness

Demon clan what?

If these demon clan members felt only shock last night, then what they feel now is fear, a fear of the future and the unknown!

It wasn't until the sun rose high in the east that the Dark Lord moved his gaze away from the light curtain and put it on the demons behind. At this time, it was definitely not a pleasant thing to be watched by the Devil. Being included in the Lord

The members of the demon clan within sight all lowered their bodies lower and lower, as if this could offset the fear in their hearts.

"It's been a thousand years since the last time members of the Dark Demon Clan publicly appeared in the Demon Alliance, right?" A majestic deep voice echoed in the hall: "Devil Wings, Cleansing, it seems you did that too, why?

The reason? What is the result?”

"Reporting to His Majesty the Demon King, it was more than 1,200 years ago that three members of the Dark Demon Clan who had their memories erased and were training in the human world were supposed to awaken, but were unintentionally cursed by the Black Skull and Bones. As a result, an accident occurred and they were forced to use force by force.

Resisting the return." A female demon kneeling in the back row replied: "Devil Wings went to pick him up according to His Majesty's order, and Cleansing then purged 90% of the backbone members of the Black Skull and Bones Society."

"Ninety percent of human beings are rebellious, what number is this?"

"Report to His Majesty the Demon King." Another male demon in parallel replied: "There are seven thousand people in total, five thousand of them were slaughtered in one battle."

"You killed five thousand rebellious humans in one battle and brought back three lost dark demons. You did it." The Demon King's tone did not waver at all, but the next question made it difficult for them to answer: "With five thousand humans

Compared with the three demon clan members, Cohen Keda’s combat power is more powerful? You have also used the Jedi barrier, how can it be in vain?”

"Report to my father." In the silence, Her Royal Highness the Princess replied: "Koen Keda has become very strange..."

"Leave aside external factors." The Dark Demon King gave the eldest princess no room for maneuver: "What I see now is the Dark Demon Clan that has not made any progress. Thousands of years ago, you knew how to do a difficult thing, but now

Thousands of years later, you have become reckless men and women who only know how to use brute force. When things change unexpectedly, you don't know how to adapt and are at a loss."

"Please teach me, His Majesty the Demon King!"

"One thing, all things, will always change in this way over time. I taught you one kind today, how will you deal with the other kind tomorrow? Can you only learn how to deal with it after experiencing it?

?At this point, you have been left far behind by Korn Keda. You deserve the failure." The Dark Lord shook his head, his disappointment evident: "Devil Wings, generals purging dust, enter the blood pool.

After a hundred years of meditation, the vacancy in the rotation will be replaced by the generals Black Flame and Eclipse Kong."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Demon King!"

The moment they heard this punishment, the bodies of the two demon generals trembled slightly. When they heard the time limit, they trembled again. Normally, dark demons who made mistakes would occasionally enter the blood pool to receive punishment.

But it rarely lasts longer than ten days. The severity of the punishment this time can be regarded as the first of its kind.

"Go, I hope you can learn something." The Demon King waved his hand, and the two Demon Generals exited the hall.

"Father, what happened yesterday was because the eldest princess of the God Clan interfered with it, and there were other changes, which led to today's situation. It has little to do with the two demon generals." After the two demon generals withdrew, the elder

Her Royal Highness the Princess said tactfully: "Is this punishment too severe?"

"The defeat of the generals was not the fault of the Dark Demons. They were punished because there was a need for punishment. I have made it very clear for the reason." The Dark Demon's expression did not change, and he did not ask the eldest princess to stand up and reply as usual: "As for the rest,

, shouldn’t the appearance of the eldest princess of the gods be expected by you? The eldest princess of the gods and demons have been tit-for-tat for so long, but you are not prepared at all? "

"I can deal with Liretta Knach at any time, but while dealing with her, I don't have the strength to take the soul of Korn Keda into my hands. This is my negligence. Please punish me, father.

"

"You are indeed at fault, but it is not the fault here." The Dark Lord shook his head slightly: "I told you before you left that you must be sure that Cohen Keda has inherited his legacy and taken substantial actions before you can

Kill him and seize his soul. But you did not confirm that Cohen Keda had inherited the will, nor did you understand his actions, so you took action directly."

"My son is afraid that the eldest princess of the God Clan will strike first."

"Then why did Lyretta Knach stop you outside Weeden City? If she wanted to snatch Cohen's soul, could the Jedi barrier stop her?" The Dark Lord said the key: "Don't misunderstand your behavior.

, actually did not make the outcome worse, it just made the situation more critical for a time. From a certain perspective, it happened to be Lyretta Knach who saved the situation."

"My son, I don't quite understand."

"It's very simple. You didn't notice the physical and mental changes of Cohen Keda? In your opinion, what is the reason for this change?"

"In Erchen's opinion, Cohen Keda seemed to be depressed and confused last night, so he was talking crazy words. Moreover, Erchen did not think that Cohen Keda had not taken any substantive actions. He met with him secretly.

The leader of the Southern Treaty Business Group reached an agreement for reinforcements, and had a long conversation with the Emperor of the Bruck Empire, pointing out a series of mistakes to him..."

"Does the eldest princess think these things are related to his actions of inheriting his legacy and resisting existing beliefs?"

"My son thought he was trying to win people's hearts and gain power so that he could use it in the future."

"At first glance, we cannot completely rule out this possibility, but if we think about it in depth, this inference is not valid. Has the eldest princess ever thought that as the emperor of Sbia, Cohen has enough reasons to do this at any time?

The starting point is just because of Sibia." The Dark Lord said: "Look at it from another perspective, if Cohen Keda really wants to inherit the legacy, then he must have obtained the exact information from the Life Watcher... First

Demon General, what did Cohen Keda say to you?"

The First Demon General, who knelt down behind the eldest princess, repeated what Cohen had said to him.

"Do you understand? The Life Watcher told him this. Does it include the so-called awakening calendar? Does it include the past events of the Hillelite Dynasty? With Cohen Kedar's insight and wisdom, he will still follow the Hillelite Dynasty.

The road to destruction?" The Dark Lord sighed: "The three major demon generals don't know these past events, so they don't understand what happened, but you already knew all this in my library. What do you think Cohen

·If Al-Qaeda really inherited his will, would he still need to use this method? If he can’t wait to contact other forces, what’s the difference between that and self-destruction?”

"My son insists that Cohen Keda is trying to win people's hearts, and what the father said is just smoke he emits."

"Is it just the smoke he emits?" A smile appeared on the Dark Lord's face.

"My son has no intention of questioning my father!" In the devil's smile, the eldest princess's figure became smaller: "My son is stupid and has an intuition that this is what Cohen Keda has planned. Please give me some advice from my father."

"How should I tell you this kind of thing? Anyway, it's time for you to understand everything." The Dark Lord sighed softly: "Except for the first demon general, everyone else should step back."

When there were only three people left in the hall, the Demon King said, "You should know why we keep the altar of life, right?"

"There are restrictions on the altar of life against the dark demons. Neither the gods nor demons nor their subordinate forces can enter." The eldest princess replied: "In addition, the dark demons also need humans to enter to examine the extent of human progress."

"The two points you mentioned are what I tell ordinary members of the demon clan, but in fact, the situation is not just that. Or to put it another way, this is only the first half of the truth." The Dark Lord shook his head: "The founder of the Altar of Life

, it is true that many restrictions have been placed against the dark demons. But the latter half of the facts are beyond these people's expectations, because the first person to enter the altar of life is not a human being, but me; the second person to enter life

The altar is owned by the God King of Light. If we hadn’t understood the significance and threat of the altar of life, how could we still let it exist?”

Hearing this, the eldest princess and the first demon general were shocked and forgot to make a sound.

"To put it simply, if an ordinary human enters the Altar of Life, comes into contact with the Life Watcher, and successfully walks out, then their choices are nothing more than three. One is to be silent, the other is to obey, and the third is to inherit and act -

—That is what we call pupa breaking." The Demon King explained: "At this stage after pupa breaking, human psychology and behavior will undergo great changes. This is what I am interested in. Under normal circumstances

, I only need ordinary means to get what I want, but Cohen Keda is different, I must get his soul to ensure the authenticity of this information."

"What I want is not a soul that is coerced by the dark demons and has no choice but to rebel; rather, it is a soul that accepts a variety of information and makes a choice after calm thinking. Do you understand?"

"I probably understand." The eldest princess replied: "But father, do you have any deep meaning in doing this?"

"What's the deep meaning? This is a good question." The Dark Lord smiled again: "Why did the demons establish the demon alliance? Why did they build the demon temple? Why do they keep erasing the memories of the demons and putting them into the human world? Why,

The human world is so depressed and boring, but we have to constantly pay attention to them? We have to continue to help them? We even have to ensure that part of the human race survives when some natural disasters occur? Human beings are just insignificant.

Species?"

The eldest princess shook her head: "Obviously not."

"At least you understand this." The Demon King nodded: "The Dark Demon Clan and the Light God Clan are not simply regarded as superior tribes. The superior tribes will naturally do what the superior tribes do. The fundamental reason why we guide mankind is not because

We are merciful not because they are pitiful, but because of our relationship with humans - we need humans, or we need something from humans."

"Do we need something from humans?" The eldest princess was surprised: "What can humans have that deserves our concern?"

"For example, human beings are the soil, or the human body is the soil. What grows in this soil is the soul, and the fruits of the soul are thoughts. The countries, classes, and racial differences in the human world are just like the soil.

Just like the difference in soil; human love, hatred, and resentment are equivalent to wind, frost, rain, snow and nutrients... and the gods and demons are the last ones to pick this fruit."

"However, we don't take this kind of fruit directly, because there are too many ordinary fruits in it, and such mediocre fruits are meaningless to us. So we have to use the most common fruits to promote special fruits, and use special fruits to

Give birth to more special fruits until the most special and delicious fruit appears." The Dark Lord asked: "Do you understand what I am saying?"

"In general, I understand." The eldest princess replied: "Just like slaves nourish the common people, the common people feed the nobles, and the nobles feed the royal family."

"It's not exactly the same. The specialness of the fruit is not limited to status. Good fruits can also be produced by civilian slaves, but the chance is relatively small." The Demon King corrected: "At some point, we have to do some pruning, such as cleaning some humans.

, to end an empire; sometimes, we have to water and fertilize them, such as teaching them magic, etc..."

"The war between gods and demons that takes place every twenty years can be seen as a large-scale loosening and cultivating process, because war and killing can promote the maturity of human souls, making the sweet ones sweeter and the bitter ones even bitterer. And the altar of life is It’s like a garden that preserves ancient fruits. We will allow some humans whose thoughts are close to mature to enter this garden, allowing these humans’ thoughts to mutate, thereby bringing us greater surprises.”

"But, what do we demons do with these fruits?"

"Of course it is to enrich oneself, you can also understand it as food. Using the thoughts generated by humans to make up for the shortcomings and omissions of the gods and demons, this is the entire meaning of human existence." The Demon King said sternly: "Don't underestimate it. at this point."

"Thoughts are something shared by humans and gods and demons. Strong abilities do not necessarily mean strong thoughts. Compared with the gods and demons, the complex and changeable environment of the human world makes their thoughts more changeable, and Gods and demons do not have this - even if they barely have all these environments, the maturity of their thoughts will come at the cost of countless lives and deaths, and it is impossible for gods and demons to achieve this condition."
