Happy cooperation.\"\n\"You two, please—\"\nSophia walked to Adolf and Lelodo's seats expressionlessly.\n\"On behalf of the empire, thank you very much.\" Adolf stood up and bowed to Chen Yu, \"If you have any needs, please be sure to let me know.\"\n\"The empire will do its best and will do it for you.\"\n\"Go ahead, go ahead.\" Chen Yu waved his hand, \"The only thing I want is for you to be obedient and not hold me back.\"\nSophia walked ahead and opened the tent door.\nThe two imperial commanders walked out of the camp one after the other.\nCommander Derrick, who was transparent throughout the entire process, also followed closely behind.\nLeaving the military camp belonging to Chen Yu, Adolf looked solemn and said, \"Lelodo, what do you think his purpose is?\"\n\"It's hard to tell for the time being.\" Lelodo said. \"The news received by some scouts is that many abyss demons seem to treat him as a guest. It seems that he has a high status in the abyss.\"\nAdolf nodded, \"You mean, this is an internal fight between the abyssal forces?\"\n\"This possibility cannot be ruled out.\" Lelodo said, \"However, no matter what, his existence is beneficial to us for the time being. At least he will not fall out with us until [Lord Gula] is defeated.\"\n\"How do you know that they will not reach a reconciliation at some point and then jointly attack the empire?\" Adolf said solemnly.\n  \"this……\"\n\"Our understanding of the abyss is too littleThin. \"\n\"It's better to send the news back to the Imperial Capital and let the Imperial Capital consult the Holy Temple World.\"\n\"The Templar World has a much deeper understanding of the abyss than we do.\"\n\"But, in this case, does it seem that we are too dependent on the church?\" Lelodo frowned, \"This is very detrimental to us.\"\n\"If we act too cowardly and the other party threatens us and makes unreasonable demands, how should we deal with it?\"\nAdolf shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness, and sighed: \"Have you not seen the situation clearly yet?\"\n\"The empire is just a piece of meat on the chopping board.\"\n\"Destiny is no longer in our hands!\"\n……\nThe earth is scarlet, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and sulfur.\nWar smoke filled the air, and there were piles of broken limbs and broken arms, including those from humans, some from the fallen, and some from demons.\nIn the mountain of corpses, a demon with horrific scars all over its body pushed aside the bones and crawled out.\nIt flapped its ragged wings and flew unsteadily into the sky.\nThe ferocious face was filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.\n\"Buzz--\"\nSuddenly, a buzzer sounded.\nA silver-white spear with a holy halo flowing through it pierced the demon's body.\nThe devil's joyful expression instantly turned into fear.\nThe spear ignited with blazing silver flames, burning the demon into ashes in an instant.\nNot far away, a heavily armed knight in silver armor came calmly on horseback and picked up the spear that had been stuck on the ground.\nHis movements were very skillful and his expression was calm, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.\nOn this bright red land, hundreds of knights are doing the same action.\nCountless remaining degenerates and demons were strangled one by one.\nIn the center of the battlefield, a team of hundreds of knights surrounded a gorgeous silver chariot.\nA girl wearing a white nun's uniform and a black veil sits on a chariot with her hands raised.\nWhite ripples were released from the girl's hands, dispersing the scarlet aura that filled the air.\nThe knights surrounding the carriage moved out of the way.\nA knight in golden armor rode up.\nWalking to the chariot, the knight in golden armor dismounted and presented a crystal to the girl on the chariot.\n\"Your Highness, the Holy See has summoned you.\"\n\"Lord Dalia, thank you for your hard work.\"\nThe girl on the chariot smiled quietly and took the spar, holding it in her hand.\nAfter a moment, the girl suddenly trembled and the crystal rolled to the ground.\n\"Your Highness?\" The knight in golden armor showed concern.\n\"It doesn't matter.\" The girl shook her head gently.\n\"The Tanasi Empire is plagued by demonic disasters.\"\n\"The whole world is about to be swallowed by the abyss.\"\n\"Notify Lord Ascetic to change the itinerary and go to the Tanasi Empire.\"\n\"Your Highness, with all due respect,\" the knight in golden armor said, \"The Cosimo Empire was not less severely affected than the Tanasi Empire, and the World Barrier is connected to our Light Wing Empire.\"\n\"Cosimo can still hold on.\" The girl said calmly, \"In a short time, he will not be completely swallowed by the abyss.\"\n\"And the situation in the Tanasi Empire is even worse.\"\n\"If the abyss completely swallows a world, it will use this world as its foundation and spread rapidly to the surrounding areas.\"\n\"Lord Dalia, have you ever heard of the word \"dead lips and cold teeth\"?\n\n\n\"Huh? Your Highness, please forgive my ignorance.\" The knight in golden armor took off his helmet, looking confused.\n\"Meaning: If you don't have lips, your teeth will feel cold.\"\nKnight in Golden Armor: \"?\"\n\"Okay, let me explain in more detail.\" The girl said helplessly, \"If any small world in our world community is completely eroded by the abyss, the situation faced by the other worlds will be countless times worse than now!\"\n\"The world group we are in can be compared to an empire. Each small world is a city. Then the abyss is another powerful empire. It sends troops to each city while traveling long distances.\"\n\"If a city is completely occupied by Abyss, then this city will become the vanguard stronghold for Abyss to attack all other cities.\"\n  \"do you understand?\"\nThe knight in golden armor suddenly realized: \"I understand, Your Highness, I will contact Lord Heratugus right away.\"",1244,"2026-06-06T17:30:48.717Z",1,null,"b751ed11d41bd674d1f5a29ebb4d90c54d2b12fe3b3fe68eb2ae65f7be895534","attack-large-strongholds-increase-strength-263","you-stink-so-much-261",567,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780767046444.jpg"]
