from Xingyuan

Chapter 1058 274. Imperial Route: Leading to the Ending of [Spiritual Deer] (68)

"Notice to all citizens of Oshulia: The Secret Council and the Dalos Civilization have completely defeated the Imperial Army. Emperor Li fled, abandoned his people, and disregarded the country. We order all citizens of Oshulia to abandon all resistance and return to work. If anyone disobeys our cause of liberation and democratic justice, they will be killed without mercy..."

Despite having experienced countless victories, when the secret troops entered Oshulia, they were surprised by how smoothly it went. The metropolis, which could accommodate millions of people, was almost unimpeded for the troops to enter, and the soldiers of the civilized deployment and the naturalized Earthlings infected by the etheric blood had to race against each other to gain the credit of conquering the city and destroying the country before the other side.

The Tatar cavalry trampled over the walls of Tianming Castle. Due to the speed of occupation, many of the supplies and baggage they brought with them could not be used, so they simply prepared a banquet on the spot to reward the participants of the Tour of Oshulia Triathlon.

As for the people of Oshulia.

There are no citizens anymore.

It took thirty-seven years to build an empire, but it took only four and a half days to destroy it secretly.

This is just the result of the actions of [Engineer] and [Soldier].

The door of the palace was kicked open and the parliamentarians filed in. Without time to clean up the battlefield, they began a new round of discussion in English.

"Leoze is really stupid. He actually dared to engage in a direct war with half of the Secret Council."

[Astrologer] Kauna played with the oriental porcelain, stroked his chin and said:

"Isn't he used to fighting Xingyuan's chickens and dogs and not willing to fight in a high-intensity battlefield? Isn't the Emperor making a fuss?"

"It's not that simple." [Soldier] Millie Terui and [Engineer] Zhang Fulong walked into the hall. The latter's face was slightly purple and he was somewhat staggering.

The other members immediately noticed Zhang Fulong's abnormality and their eyes fell on him. In response, Zhang Fulong just shook his head and waved his hand:

"When we entered the Fortress of Destiny, a few divine warriors forcibly raided the civilization center I built. I was fine, but two civilization buildings were destroyed and I was a little depressed."

"Divine Warrior?" [Writer] Victor frowned. "Didn't Anpollo say that Yuanyuan would not attack us? Leanding has an agreement with us."

[Soldier] shook his head:
"They are not Leanding's men. There should be other divine warriors who are against Him. Before, I thought that the guys trapped by Apostle Arthur in the Kingdom of God were just some rotten fish and shrimps, but now it seems that their strength is not bad, and their combat awareness is quite sophisticated, especially their combat skills, which are very similar to those of Haynes's gang back then..."

"You mean the warriors of the Pantheon?" [Astrologer] Kauna became excited: "It seems that Leoz is not stupid. He just sacrificed the pawn to save the king."

"From the current perspective, this is what happened - Lioz fled, and a large number of elite troops, civil service systems, and Dragon Transformation believers, including these divine warriors, all left Oshulia during the attack."

[Teacher] Tracy said calmly:

"It doesn't matter how many mortals die, but the divine warriors and elites are things that Leoz can't replenish in a short period of time."

"Oh, what a cold-blooded god. When they need mortals to die, they say it's for the nation and the country, but when they don't need them anymore, they abandon them at will."

[Foodie] Chen Xiaochen rests his chin in boredom:

"Sister Treacher, do you know where Rioz has gone? What's the point of fighting against a mortal empire?"

"I am a teacher, not a scholar. Generally speaking, I have no way of knowing things that I cannot possibly know."

[Teacher] Tracey glanced at Violetta who was tied to her side:

"I had originally planned to take Vilria as a hostage, but I didn't expect Lioz to simply massacre everyone in my own capital. It seems like this guy is of no use."

Violetta blinked her rose-red eyes innocently:

"Take me as a hostage? Are you sure you're not kidding? The total time I met with that kid Li Aoz was no more than 40 minutes. Do you expect him to get familiar with me?"

"I am sure of this. No, to be precise, it was His Majesty the Emperor Anpollo who was sure of this."

Tracey laughed, walked forward, and raised Virlia's chin:

"I think you don't know your true value yet, Miss Virilia. You previously worked with the Doctor and, with the support of the Scholar Lyle, reached a deal with a place called... Cervantes Star Realm. It seems - you even created a very powerful weapon."

"Weapons?" Velia tilted her head and said, "Are there any? I'm over 3,000 years old and my memory is not very good. I don't have any impression of this."

"Dragon's Death Weapon."

[Soldier] Millitary suddenly said:
"Don't pretend. If it weren't for the fact that I can't even replicate this kind of weapon, His Majesty Anpolo wouldn't have asked to capture you alive."

"Anpollo knows everything."

The teacher said:

"The evil society coalition of the Abyss has occupied Baizhu Star, but they found nothing. The Dragon Death Weapon and the inheritance of Councillor [Doctor] could only have been taken away by Li Oz in advance. Don't think we don't know that you have been on Baizhu Star for three hundred years!"

“…Oh, I see.”

Velia was surprised:
"It seems you are not coming for me. From the beginning, you have been targeting Leoz. No, are you really that afraid of the so-called Dragon's Death Weapon? Could it be that the Dragon's Death Weapon can threaten An Po Luo?"

[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen was dissatisfied and raised his hand as if to hit Violetta:
"You bitch keep nagging me, I'm going to give you a slap in the ear!"

"No, Anpollo does not feel threatened."

The soldier blocked Chen Xiaochen's hand and said calmly:

"It was the Dark Titan, Gelbros, who conveyed his will to us:"

"The virus from the Cervantes star realm has been made into a weapon. Its existence is a deadly threat to the Destroyers. To some extent, it is a greater threat than ten Mephidrias. You know what to do."

"If Zhang Fulong was sent by Anpollo to test whether Lioz would become the new Mephidria, then the Dragon Death Weapon is a Mephidria in the open to us."

Hearing what Millitre said, Virlia narrowed her eyes.

"The third level of the Star Abyss."

she says:

"On the Abyss side, you encouraged the evil gods and the [Society] coalition to attack, and took the opportunity to secretly search the White Candle Star - Oh, yes, from what you just said, Li Aoz and Red have formed an alliance? It seems that to a certain extent, it also forced [Collector] Red King to return to defend, so that he could separate from Li Aoz. After the two of them could no longer communicate, no matter what the reason, the alliance has actually broken down."

"As for Zhou Yuan, you will go after Dai Yawen and me. Not only will we be taking back the profession of [Tailor], but we will also be striking at the power of [Scholar] Lyle, and preventing more [Society] citizens from defecting."

"Originally, you were both silent in these two matters. The [Secret Society]...you were really secretive in your actions, pushing others to fight and kill each other, while you just sat back and reaped the benefits."

Violetta's eyes rolled around and she said with a smile:

"Finally, on the side of Jingyuan, you should send Apostle Arthur and the Engineer to provoke Li Aoz and test his strength. I think, as long as it is confirmed that Li Aoz is not a threat, An Po Luo can do his thing without worry. However, there is a slight error in your plan."

"You didn't expect Li Aoz to actually take action, which forced you to leave the field early and invade Xingyuan head-on."

"Not only that, you didn't find the so-called 'Dragon's Death Weapon', and you didn't even retrieve the Doctor's inheritance. Oh, that's why you weren't excited at all after entering the Destiny Castle - it turns out that you suspected that I gave the Dragon's Death Weapon to Li Oz, and in your opinion, he had already broken through with the weapon."

The congressmen looked at her in silence, but Virlia showed no fear. She just shook her head and said:

"Then you have misunderstood. Not to mention that I am not really familiar with Li Oz - and I never knew whether the Dragon Death Weapon was completed. Before I fell asleep, the Doctor's experiments had always failed. Now you are talking about whether he succeeded, and where the Dragon Death went... I don't know."

"But there is one thing that really surprised me."

Villia glanced at everyone and smiled:

"So there are so many of you, but you can only fight back and forth with a little devil like Li Oz."

"I'm hungry." [Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen suddenly said, "This crazy woman should taste good."

"You can't touch her," the [Soldier] stopped the other party's stupid behavior, "She has source soil in her body. The moment her life ends, it will splash out and split. By then, no one in this room will be able to see Gaia."

"Tsk!" [Astrologer] Kauna clenched his five fingers in dissatisfaction, hooked his hands and said, "You just rely on your quick mouth. Now the whole of Oshulia has been turned into a wasteland by us. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will dig out Li Oz."

"Okay, then go ahead."

Virgin Mary said innocently:
"But you have to hurry up. Li Aoz doesn't even care about his own people, so it is very likely that he is preparing to sneak into Xingyuan. If you don't act quickly, you will have to go to the void to capture him."

"Although diving into the abyss right in front of us is tantamount to running naked in broad daylight, but... it seems that Rioz might really do such a thing."

[Writer] Victor looked at [Soldier]:
"Millitrui, you and Zhang stay where you are to prevent other narratives from taking over Oshulia. After all, this is the land we conquered, and we can't give it away for free. Li Oz is not a narrative citizen, so he can't enter the inherent time domain of the four major federations. Why don't we split up and raid Oshulia's Deep Port?"

"Divide the troops?" Millit thought for a moment and said, "Well, there are only remnants of Lioz's army left, so it's appropriate to divide the troops now."

"Oshuria has a total of 3 official abyssal ports and 12 wild ports."

[Engineer] Zhang Fulong coughed twice and seemed a little tired:
"We have blocked the three official Abyssal Ports. It is impossible for Leoz to lead a strong attack. The casualties will be too great. Even if he breaks through, he will be seriously injured. Once he reaches the void, he will be cursed and will not be able to escape for hundreds of years."

"Then the only ones left are wild ports? There are 12 wild ports, which are not easy to defend. It is really possible that he could break out."

"No, there is no possibility that Li Oz will go to Wild Harbor."

[Teacher] Tracy raised her hand and presented a map projection in front of her:
"Today happens to be a period of time and space fluctuations, and the time and space sequence is disordered. It is impossible to reach the void by diving into the wild harbor without protection and guideposts at this time, not to mention the danger. In the strong time and space fluctuations, no one can defy changes. The final destination may lead to anywhere. Even if the Speaker comes, there is no way to reach the destination."

"If Li Oz intends to dive down through the wild harbor, he will never reach the void."

"Therefore, I think it is very likely that Li Aozi chose one of the three fixed deep ports, Xilan Port, Mowei Port, and Chunfeng Port, to carry out a forced invasion."

The opinions put forward by Treacher were soon recognized by several congressmen.

"At least Leoz's power is enough to easily defeat Arthur, which means he has the potential to defeat a councillor by force. We can't just divide our forces haphazardly."

"But what if Leoz really chooses to take the risk? Don't forget, when Leoz was exiled, everyone thought he was no threat. Who knew it would turn out like this?"

"Now what? How is it now? Can Leoz turn the world upside down? Our goal is to find the Dragon Death Weapon, not Leoz. What's so scary about a mere thug?"

"The Dragon's Death Weapon is of course important, but the existence of Leoze cannot be ignored. Do you want to let the tiger go back to the mountains and leave trouble for the future?"

The emergence of differences immediately plunged the parliament into dispute, and they began to argue and discuss whether they should divide the troops or station them there.

This is not a miracle.

In fact, in the absence of the Speaker, the quarrels in the secret parliament have always been like this. There are many cases of people fighting over a certain issue, killing each other, and even ganging up on each other to attack others.

Although Tracey and Millitre both nominally belong to the [Emperor] Anpollo's faction, they do not have the same interests, and their views and principles of handling things are different.

[Teacher] Tracey is a constructive Earth person, and a large number of non-combat secret citizens are close to her. In addition, she holds a position in education and training, which makes Tracey's secret network of people extremely large and complex, and she is quite confident in what she says.

And [Soldier] Millitre is a pure warrior, and her confidence comes from the strongest force under the Speaker.

To use the words of Earth, this is the situation where a scholar meets a soldier.

Millie Terri insisted on looking at the problem from a military perspective and was determined to divide the troops, but Tracy believed that Lioz's upbringing and past actions would not make it easy for him to take risky actions, so the troops should still be stationed.

Violetta watched all this with cold eyes.

Although she didn't know much about Li Aoz, Yawen couldn't help but talk about him all the time. Plus, after watching him all the way, she knew Li Aoz pretty well.

If she were Li Oz, she would definitely not choose Wild Harbor because it would not achieve her goal.

Moreover, they would not choose to storm a port that would cause great loss of combat power and kill all the divine warriors in their hands.

If she were Li Oz, it might sound ridiculous, but think about it, the easiest choice for Li Oz would be...

Boom!

A violent roar resounded over the Castle of Destiny, instantly stopping the noise in the Secret Council.

The secret councillors looked at each other and then looked out the door at the same time.

Stab it!

The sound of flesh being cut and torn.

Sonorous!

There was a loud noise as armor was shattered and flattened.

Boom!

There was a violent roar of magic and artillery fire.

Militre looked at the [Astrologer] Kauna: "Kauna, astrology, what happened?"

Kauna's eyes glowed blue, and colorful tentacles like oil paint floating on the water extended from his scalp. His hands turned into claws, and his fingertips extended dozens of centimeters, constantly fiddling with the air, as if he was manipulating a chessboard. After a moment, he spoke:

"It's the Four Narrative Alliance. They've started to attack us."

“…Puchi! Hahaha…hahahahaha…”

Violetta's laughter was as sweet as a silver bell, echoing in the lobby of the Castle of Destiny:

"Sure enough, I guessed right."

"If Li Oz does nothing, the Narrative Union will conclude that Oshulia has no chance of restoration, and you who can destroy Oshulia in one go are the real threat."

"Do nothing and do nothing... This is the most efficient approach in this environment."

[Teacher] Tracey looked at Virlia and said:
"You really know Li Oz very well."

"The little spider you originally captured, Yawen, the [Tailor], was more knowledgeable and more valuable, but you didn't take it seriously and killed her directly." Villia said leisurely: "Now, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

But now, no one paid any attention to her. The secret councillors did not bother to talk to each other. They all folded their left little fingers. The next moment, their eyes all glowed silver, and the etheric blood in their bodies flowed at the same speed, indicating that their thinking consciousness had entered a synchronized state under the coordination of the root connection of the [Secret Society].

At this point, the Secret Council truly entered combat mode.

Violent explosions continued to occur on the land of Tianming Castle, causing this ruin that had just been secretly "liberated" to move one step closer to the wasteland.

The air strike was just a prelude to the joint attack.

There is no need to explain the goals to the people, no need for the government to mobilize, and no need to publicize whether one is just or not.

When the news that the enemy is [society] is delivered into the narrative, that sets the stage for everything.

The "Red Blood Alliance" is the closest to the Oshulia Empire and is almost on the border with it. It immediately announced the beginning of a state of war. Material supplies and army troops were delivered to the front line in just five seconds, directly crossing the border river and launching ground operations towards Oshulia.

Along with the ground offensive, the "Homeland of Souls" was also launched. The Death Lords were initially hesitant about whether to launch a siege, because 90% of their citizens were dead, and the "Blood of Aether" they secretly relied on did not have much advantage over their infection and corruption. However, after seeing the large-scale deployment of the allies, the Undead troops could no longer hold back.

Their purpose was not to uphold justice and expel [society], but to take a fancy to Oshulia after several bombings and massacres. The death aura here was extremely dense, and the number of wandering souls and dead bodies stranded in the abyss was huge. This was a rare opportunity for the "hometown of souls" to expand the number of citizens.

"Endless Garden" and "Collapsing Homeland" simultaneously announced that they would abandon ground operations and only provide technical guidance and air escort.

On the one hand, their army is far inferior in quality and quantity to the Alliance and Hometown. The "Collapsed Hometown" is a professional in scientific research and knowledge archaeology, not a war master, while the Garden is a gathering place for a group of time and space refugees. They bear the heavy responsibility of resettling refugees and production logistics for the entire union.

The unity of the Federation was finally demonstrated at this moment. The racist alliance and the undead were good at and keen on killing and destruction, and they did not expect the other two to participate in the war, thus forming a delicately balanced division of labor.

On the other hand, they are dealing with something more important:
Convene a meeting of Jingyuan Fengqing.

"In the name of our common mother, common fertile land, common source of will - Jingyuan, we hereby inform all the nobles who have sworn allegiance to defend our homeland: We will convene all the demigods and above who have been granted the title of noble to hold the Candria Conference to discuss and deal with the appalling adverse effects that have now erupted on the Jingyuan Plain."

In the alliance, the Garden had the strongest communication capabilities. Their report was immediately spread throughout the Abyss, and a few hours later, it was also spread to the Abyss, Zhou Abyss, and even the battlefields of the Abyss.

Within forty-eight hours, more than a thousand members of the Narrative Consortium who had reached the demigod level, as well as the powerful Fengqing who now existed in the Abyss, came to the capital of the "Endless Garden", Candria, and the number of participants is still increasing.

Since it did not receive diplomatic responses and support from other Xingyuan and narrative civilizations, Oshulia was not a member of the narrative civilization, but just an ordinary independent sovereign state. And Hidden did not clearly have an alliance relationship with other [societies].

Therefore, there was no reason at the meeting to immediately declare war on the [Secret Society]. Instead, the actions of the Secret Council were considered to have violated and polluted the natural environment of Jingyuan and threatened the health and safety of the people of the Federation.

Therefore, after discussion, the Union decided to define this military action as: Aquatic Security Maintenance Operation. The purpose of the military action was not to save the people of Oshulia or to destroy the Secret Council, but to take back the rivers and groundwater in Oshulia.

The reasons and purpose of sending troops seem puzzling, but the meeting of the joint body has concluded: this is not a war, it is just for environmental protection.

This is the first time in history that Xingyuan Narrative has officially engaged in a conflict with the Secret Council.

In the future, people will mention this war countless times and sigh for the choice made by the coalition today. They will call this conflict: "Environmental Protection War".

Just as the water security maintenance operation was underway, Li Aoz quietly made an action that confused everyone.

He did not choose to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak out of Jingyuan, but came to the Stray Continent Hotel Chain.

Ten days later, Port Victory.

A huge dark shadow silently descended over the sky above this medium-sized coastal port city. It was like a whale, and its hot body temperature brought up rich water vapor, which carried its body floating in the sky. It was as big as more than ten stellar-class battleships, and even in the huge Jingyuan, it was jaw-dropping enough.

"Oh my god, what is this..."

"It looks like a Tengwu whale, but it's too big."

"Look, the whale is carrying the flag of the Oshulia royal family - but didn't that family disappear a long time ago..."

People were exclaiming in amazement at the magnificence of this giant beast in the sky, but no one noticed that there were groups of people standing on the back of the beast.

It was Li Oz and his party.

This Tengwu Whale is naturally a royal asset. Unfortunately, during the breakout, a large number of dragon troops got lost and not enough troops were brought out.

Fortunately, this giant beast that could serve as a flagship was still there, and there were sufficient supplies inside, enough for Lioz to take his men away.

"How long will it take before the version is updated?"

Li Aoz stood on top of the Tengwu Whale, overlooking the scene below, and asked the person next to him without turning his head.

Fu Shen glanced at the information and said, "If converted into the game, there are still seven days left."

"Then there's still time."

Li Oz opened the communication list and looked at the gray player avatars one by one, finally stopping at a lit icon:
Baihe Shun (Note: Silverston): Online

A few hours ago, Silverston sent an email for the first time after decades of absence.

The content is also very simple.

"I heard about it. Rand Lord is here with me. Come quickly."

At this time, only 10 days had passed since the water security maintenance operation began.

Li Aoz closed the email, and after the supply was completed, the Tengwu Whale Fleet immediately flew towards the coordinates provided by Silverston.

The fall of Oshulia was just the beginning of everything. It seemed that a huge empire was destroyed, but Lioz knew very well that such things would continue to happen.

The real battle hasn't even begun.

"This is a final battle that will last for thousands of years. The fate of Xingyuan and the Earth will be completely rewritten from this moment on."

Li Aozi looked at the clouds in the distance with a calm expression.

After completing the fusion of the Tao, he had a new understanding of his thoughts and ideas, and he also had many of his own opinions on this war.

Especially after suffering a secret attack, Li Oz gave up the theory of quick victory and decisive battle against the Earth to a certain extent.

"After devouring Mephidria, Hidden Secret's power has been fully enhanced. What can really determine the victory of this war is Xingyuan's vast land and a large number of people..."

More people will realize that it is wishful thinking to achieve peace by relying solely on the power of a certain star abyss or an individual.

Then, we have to change our thinking.

——The entire Xingyuan was completely transformed into a battlefield for secret warfare.

As the Tengwu Whale continued to move towards where Silverston was, Li Oz's thoughts became more and more profound.
