the last king of darkness

not far away.

In a dark secret room.

Two figures emerged from the air one after another.

A tall and thin knight said softly: "Lord Aker, although Manolo Bana was once a doomsday cultist, he is probably now the bait of the Internal Affairs Tribunal. He will never follow our plan in the alchemy workshop. Pour black water into the pure star marrow potion."

Ake sneered: "Abai, I know he is not."

The knight known as Abai asked: "Then are you going to use the trick?"

Ake shook his head: "He also knows that we don't believe him."

Abhay looked at his leader in confusion.

"Please forgive me for being stupid. I can't understand what you mean."

Ake smiled coldly, and a chill like ice water spread on his face.

"Don't worry, Abai, this person has his own ideas. He and Trorian are not on the same side. We don't need to worry about him. Sometimes, you don't have to control everything, and it will naturally go in the direction of destruction and collapse. ...The age of fire is destined to perish, so factors of destruction are everywhere. As long as I touch it lightly, this decaying edifice will collapse."

Abai asked softly: "Chief, does he have anything else to rely on besides us?"

The smile on Ake's face became even colder.

"As expected of you, Abai, you are the smartest evil thought I have ever seen. It was the right choice not to eat you. Your existence is much more useful than the power of evil thoughts. When I become the evil thought, King, you are the first leader under me."

He turned around and waved his hand, and a black barrier disappeared, revealing the other half of the secret room.

Dozens of figures were kneeling there respectfully.

Ake's expression became indifferent: "How are the plans of Doomsday and Destruction going?"

A man dressed as a royal guard bowed and replied: "Everything goes well."

"Personnel situation?"

A man dressed as a judge bowed and said: "It's basically completed. When the Blood God invades, we will fight back and break their backs."

"Doomsday Cult?"

A man dressed as a hunter leaned forward and said, "Not good. Lucian advanced to make the Herrscher able to see through the fluctuations of his mind. He used this ability to uproot dozens of hidden piles again, and the covert spread of dark truths all Being blocked, the idea of ​​victory in the royal city spread far and wide, and even the most remote and worst poor people were not interested in our ideas.”

Acker's face was a bit gloomy, but this was a result that had been expected. Before the real turning point occurred, it was already impossible for the Doomsday Sect to spread or spread in Trorian.

"How's that going with contact with the Survivor Cult?"

A man dressed as a priest bowed and said: "There is not much progress. The survivor sect seems to have their own core and philosophy. Asi was killed."

All eyes were on him instantly.

Ake frowned: "Asi was killed? What happened? Didn't he identify himself?"

The priest bowed and replied: "Lord Aker, he revealed his identity. After more than nine months of contact with the Survivor Sect, he finally met the senior leaders of the Survivor Sect. He communicated with them exactly as you said. , indicating that the ancient evil thoughts are the envoys of the doomsday sect, and the great supreme will is their only true god. As long as they return to the organization, they will have a place in the dark hall of the future."

Ake's face darkened: "Then why was he killed? Are they crazy?"

The priest answered cautiously: "I don't know the specific reason, but as far as the traces left on the scene are concerned, the senior leaders of the survivor sect were not impressed by us. They killed Asi on the spot and completely severed ties with us. Contact, now, we no longer have any information and contact information about the survivor sect.”

The secret room became deathly silent.

After a long silence, Ake spoke again.

"It seems that the Survivor Cult has its own core and philosophy, and they can no longer be used by me."

The priest asked softly: "What should we do? Lord Aker."

"Ignore them, take them out of the plan."

"Yes!"

Ake asked again: "Where is the Destruction Sect?"

A man dressed as a businessman bowed and said: "I have healed the rifts in the Destruction Sect. Now, those lunatics who only want to destroy have finally calmed down. They will cooperate with the All-Day Plan and use their crazy souls to bring us more Many destructive factors.”

"What about other sects?"

"After receiving a powerful blow, the fragmented Doomsday Sect was further fragmented. Most of them were eliminated, leaving only scattered personnel who can no longer pose a threat."

Before he finished speaking, the shadow in the secret room trembled, and another figure emerged from it.

"Lord Aker."

he cried eagerly.

"The 11th king is born, the great hammer Jeraba of the wine country!"

Ake glanced at him lightly: "Oh? I remember that this son of fire has low qualifications and is not the first pick."

The man said anxiously: "The probability of his promotion success was originally very low. Percival interrupted the ceremony for him and asked him to further increase the strength of the source law before returning. But for some reason, he suddenly completed the promotion ceremony of the king. "

Ake's expression was cold, with a hint of sarcasm.

"It doesn't matter, Arden. When the end comes, they will know that it is all in vain."

The evil thought known as Arden looked at his leader in confusion.

"However, Trolian's combat power is expanding too fast. The true king has been born, and there are eleven kings. If this continues, Trolian's combat power will surpass Saint Rey's."

Aker sneered: "Saint Rey has been destroyed, and Trolian is no exception. No matter how many kings they have, it is useless. As for the true king, I have already figured out his details, stupid Horus." Percival and Percival have no idea why I showed up at the promotion ceremony. He is dead and we will win."

He opened his hands and said loudly.

"The age of eternal darkness will surely come, and the riotous fire will be extinguished."

Everyone responded in unison: "For the great supreme will!"

That ice-water smile appeared on Ake's face again.

"Go ahead and complete the Doomsday Plan and the Destruction Plan as soon as possible. Trorian is just a small civilization, and we have more important things."

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes, Lord Aker."

The shadow instantly enveloped their figures, and when the shadow dispersed, everyone disappeared into the air.

Ake said to the people around him: "Abai, you can go too."

Abai bowed deeply and then disappeared.

Ake stared at the place where he disappeared until all the fluctuations in the shadows dissipated and the air returned to calm. Then he turned around and sat on a large chair made of pitch-black bones.

Closing his eyes, a strange aura flickered slightly between his eyebrows.

Soon, he came to the space of evil thoughts.

The sky was covered with dense clouds, and thick darkness flooded the world. A huge stone monument towered between the sky and the earth.

Ake looked up at the stone monument, his eyes penetrated the darkness and locked on the top of the stone monument.

"The throne of the God of Origin..."

He muttered the line.

"I'm finally sure, it's been too long..."

"Hahaha, God Yuantian, have you also noticed that the day of humankind's demise is coming? After hiding it for thousands of years, you finally can't help it anymore, but it's useless. Your thoughts can't save this decadent person. The end of our world is coming soon, and this pursuit of tens of millions of years will come to an end with my victory. The fate of humankind’s destruction will not change.”

Amidst the arrogant laughter, a strange wave spread out, and Ahe's figure emerged from the air.

"Acker, is something wrong?"

Acker smiled and said, "I won."

"you win?"

"Yes."

"why?"

"The King of Trolian is dead."

Ah He's expression turned gloomy: "You killed him? How did you do it?"

"I found out his details. He is the owner of the throne of Yuantian God."

Ahe's expression changed with surprise: "Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent sure."

Ah He's expression began to become uneasy and a little anxious: "How could this happen? God Yuan Tian is so cautious. We have not found His remnant for thousands of years. How could you find it? The reincarnated owner is too Stupid?"

Ake replied proudly: "No, the choice of Yuantian God is unparalleled. I can't even believe that there are humans who can do this. He has been hiding for so many years, and I haven't found any clues. Even after the battle of the Terror Fort, , I already highly doubt it, but if it hadn’t been revealed in the True King Ceremony, I still can’t be sure. In the final analysis, their Archbishop Horus and St. Rey’s Great Shepherd Percival were too stupid.”

Ah He's expression was full of anger and a little envious: "You will die if you are exposed, you will make a lot of money."

Ake said arrogantly: "This is the fate determined by the great supreme will. I will definitely become the king of evil thoughts."

This sentence silenced the space, and no one spoke.

I don’t know how long it took before Ahe said slowly.

"Not sure yet, Acker."

"The weapons of the gods, the soul ripples of the golden war god, the soul ripples of the ancient sun god, the spirit demons, and the king of mushrooms and the king of gold. The lives of these human beings are still not determined. They are also forces that cannot be underestimated."

Ake sneered: "Ah, your words are meaningless. We all know the specialness of the throne of the God of Origin. Its destruction is a rule engraved in our evil souls by the supreme will. It is time to use the power that has been sealed in dust for thousands of years."

Ah He suddenly asked: "Where is the King of Shit Devouring?"

Upon hearing this name, Ake's entire face darkened.

"I don't know. I haven't figured out his details yet, but his name echoes in the void, and he must be an extraordinary existence."

"What is the relationship between him and the traitor Asa? Who is the real king of shit swallowing?"

Ake's expression changed, and he hesitated: "I'm not sure. Maybe Asa was just a cover for him, putting the name of eating shit on his head to avoid being targeted or assassinated, but the traitor Asa has already betrayed him. There is no doubt that the Supreme Will has turned to the path of devouring shit.”

Ah said coldly: "Ak, be careful of his existence. Saint Rey's fate of inevitable destruction has changed because of him. The same thing may happen to Trolian."

Ake was silent for a moment and asked: "Ahe, are your preparations complete?"

Ahe showed a gloomy and cruel smile.

"It's done. Those two stupid monkeys are jumping around on the Blood God's territory, delaying the Blood God's invasion. Do they think I don't know? They don't want to think about it, why don't I stop them?"

"It's really stupid. The Blood God was the weakest when he came. The exile of Pope Saint Rael caused a lot of damage to Him. Now, the Blood God has taken back the flesh and blood that remained under the Sunless Sea. All His injuries have been restored, and his power has surpassed its peak. How can a newly born true king be his opponent?"

"Delay is only increasing the possibility of their demise. At first there was hope of fighting to the death with the Holy Fire behind them, but now, the possibility is zero."

"The most important thing is that under my influence, the Lord's apostles have awakened, and so many delicious souls in Trolian will become the Lord's nourishment."

Ake clapped his hands and said in an indifferent tone.

"As expected of Ah, the Ghost of Fear, let us share the credit for destroying Trollian and breaking the throne of the God of Origin."

Ah's smile grew wider.

"Very good, I know you will make the most correct choice. I will crush that little jumping bug to death right away and let them know how wrong their assumptions are."

"Soon, the end of Trolian will come, the flames will be extinguished, and mankind will perish. We are the final winners, hahahahahaha!"

Ake said nothing and simply disappeared into thin air.

In this dark space, only Ahe's wild laughter remained.

After a long time, he calmed down, glanced at the Stone Tablet of Evil Thoughts, suddenly remembered something, and murmured: "Where has that guy Alan gone? I clearly sensed his existence, but there was no response no matter how I called him, he couldn't be here. Is there some conspiracy brewing?"

When he thought of a certain possibility, Ahe's face quickly darkened, his figure faded, and he quickly disappeared into this space.

-

St. Rey.

Broken Mountains.

Boundless blood flooded the shattered space, and the torn cracks closed under the infinite power. The raging void storm disappeared without a trace. The once restricted area no longer existed.

Under the mountains, there are boundless bloody puppets. They are all made of the flesh and blood of Saint Rael people. The more powerful the flesh and blood, the more flesh and blood puppets are formed. At a glance, it looks like an endless bloody ocean, spreading all the time. To the end of heaven and earth.

And in this sea of ​​blood, there is a cyan light that is out of place. It shuttles through the sea of ​​blood without any hindrance.

The spiritual energy it emits is not very strong, only about level 13. If there are high-precision spiritual energy equipment from the Industrial Machinery Research Institute here, you can find that its strength is stuck at 13, motionless, very Stablize.

Most of the flesh and blood puppets around it have no weaker psychic powers than it. Level 13 and 14 psychic powers abound.

Some huge flesh and blood giants even possess level 15 psychic powers.

However, whether it is a flesh puppet or a flesh giant, in front of this green light, they are like powder, shattering at the touch of it.

It is so sharp that no monster can block it for half a second.

From south to north, from east to west, it almost cut through the bloody ocean.

But there are endless flesh and blood monsters. After killing one batch, there will be another batch, and even more and more, those who were originally killed began to be resurrected in the bloody atmosphere.

The green light showed no intention of stopping and continued its killing spree.

Finally, a powerful bloody light rose in the distance.

"Lord Alan, it's successful, the blood god's aura has noticed you!"

A sharp shout came from among the green light.

He stopped, and sharp sword light fell around him. A tall knight appeared in the center of the monster's remains. He was dressed in green armor, holding a huge sword with shining green light in his hand, and a shield hung behind his back. There is also a sword at the waist.

It was none other than Trorian's first knight, Ars Testrant, whom everyone affectionately called Alan.On his collar, a crown mark was burning, and another voice came from it.

"Lord Alan, the Blood God's breath is only 30 yards away from you. Evacuate to the west as soon as possible!"

Alan didn't move, just stood there, staring at the blood in the distance.

That is the power of the Blood God, but it is only the spiritual energy controlled by chaotic instinctive consciousness. If you draw it out according to the previous tactics, it will be considered successful.

After that, all he had to do was evacuate in the opposite direction to delay the Blood God.

In the past, in order to ensure the delaying effect, he could wait for a while, but Olivia, who was covering his evacuation, returned to the royal city. He was the only one left here. To ensure safety, he had to evacuate in advance.

"Master Alan, it's 20 yards, let's go quickly!"

The voices in the psychic transmission became anxious. They were high-level investigators, responsible for observing the battle situation from a distance and providing information to Alan.

But Alan still didn't move, and even turned around. The holy white sword in his hand began to shine. Blazing white flames burned on the blade, and the green light instantly expanded hundreds of times.

"Lord Alan!"

The voice in the psychic transmission became extremely anxious.

"What are you going to do? You are still in the Kingdom of the Filthy Blood God, so you can't use your full strength!"

The Holy White Sword is Alan's soul weapon. It possesses powerful radiant power. Combined with his soul fire "Holy Light", it can explode with super power.

The burning sword edge means that Alan is ready to fight.

"Hahahahaha!"

A huge shadow rose from the monster's remains and turned into a huge cage, covering Alan.

"You are very perceptive. Unlike those stupid idiots, it seems that you have already prepared for your fate. Don't worry. An excellent warrior like you will definitely become the strongest monster. The great Blood God of Filth will be special. Those who take care of you and inject filthy flesh and blood into your body will definitely surpass the sons and kings of Saint Rael.”

brush!
A white light flashed across the sky and the earth.

The cage of shadows was instantly cut in half.

Alan held the sword with both hands, powerful spiritual energy bloomed, and the blazing white light completely replaced the green light.

The broken shadows melted quickly on the ground and gathered into a ball, and a startled and angry voice came from it.

"Level 14 Psychic! You are looking for death!"

Snapped!
In the flowing blood, a blood bubble burst, and a huge bloody claw rushed out at an unimaginable speed and grabbed Alan.

Shadow shouted excitedly: "The Blood God has taken action! Die, you idiot!"

brush!
An extremely sharp white light swept across and cut the giant claw in half.

"Level 15 psychic power!"

Shadow yelled, startled and angry.

"You are dead!"

The blood flowing across the ground boiled, and a huge flesh-and-blood monster stood out from the blood. Level 16 psychic energy waveforms spread out, and the breath of the blood god steamed in its body.

It has no soul, but the power of the Law of Blood appears in its body.

The shadow laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, flesh and blood fusion monster! This is a terrifying monster formed by the blood god's dirty blood and its flesh and blood fragments. It will corrode your soul and melt your flesh and blood until you are completely fused with it. , I’m looking forward to the reaction of Trorian’s fools when they see their first knight like this!”

brush!
A flash of white light flashed, and the flesh and blood monster split into two halves, fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of thick water.

"What? Level 16 psychic power?"

Shadow yelled.

"How is this possible? You are of the Spark Sequence. Without Source Law, you would not have such powerful spiritual energy."

More flesh and blood fusion monsters appeared, but Alan showed no fear. His spiritual power was still strengthening, and countless light spots shone on his soul. The blazing white light had flooded the area, and even the blood light could not suppress it. .

The voice of the shadow suddenly became frightened:
"Are you crazy? If you do this, you will disturb the true form of the Blood God of Filth, and you will die without a burial place!"

boom!
A dull roar sounded from under the feet, the entire ocean of flesh and blood began to boil, and the infinite aura was awakening!

"Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!"

With a cry of terror, the shadow rushed into the distance as fast as possible, but a bloody light that penetrated the sky and the earth cut down from high in the sky, nailing the shadow to the ground.

More shadows were pulled from the air, like a giant mass of dirty rags.

The terrifying power of the Blood God penetrated the material world, the spiritual world, the void, and the abyss at the same time, and even affected the Sea of ​​Origin, crucifying the shadows that tried to escape to other planes.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

The shadow screamed miserably, and it had to tear itself apart, leaving a large piece of shadow behind.

While the blood light swallowed up the shadow, the afterimage quickly escaped into the void.

An extremely vicious voice came from the air.

"Ah! I want to imprint your death in my soul and make it a classic of the Deep Dark Era, which will be passed down from generation to generation!"

The bloody light rolled back, but Alan just took out the sword from his waist and split the space.

The storm in the void roared, and the powerful blood light closed the space in an instant, but Alan had already stepped into the gap and left here.

-

distance.

on a hill.

The space was suddenly torn apart, Alan took a step forward, and the gap was closed.

In the distance, the blood-colored ocean has boiled, and the bloody light rising into the sky has flooded the earth.

As far as the eye can see, everything is stained with blood.

The two high-level investigators looked at what they saw in shock. The tactical goggles on their eye sockets had burst, and all the psychic observation instruments were destroyed.

"The Blood God is enraged."

Alan said calmly.

"It's a pity that I couldn't completely kill that evil thought. After waiting for so long, I failed to succeed."

There was a little regret in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

The two senior investigators came to their senses and asked in shock: "Lord Alan, what just happened?"

Alan said lightly: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, why ancient evil thoughts can exist in the black mist and monsters for a long time, but do not need firelight? You know, his soul is essentially no different from ours, and it is not corroded by the black mist Dark souls, otherwise, they would not have reason, nor would they be lurking among us. Logically speaking, they should also be corroded by the black mist and turn into monsters."

The two looked at each other, and one of them replied: "Lord Alan, maybe it's because they have some special method?"

Alan nodded: "I think so too, but this method must have a certain limit. The black mist corrodes all things uniformly, and there is nothing special about them because they have evil thoughts. As long as this limit is exceeded, the monsters will They will definitely attack them... Just now, the ancient evil thought that has been dormant for a long time finally took action, and I want to use the Blood God to eliminate this powerful evil thought that overthrew Saint Rey."

A senior investigator asked happily: "Did it succeed?"

Alan shook his head slightly.

"It failed, but it hit him hard, but..."

He looked into the distance, where the bloody light even covered up the black fog, and a terrifying aura rushed towards his face.

"The Blood God of Filth has gone berserk. There is no way to delay it any longer. Let's go back."

He turned around and walked away, his steps still light, as if he had just arrived on this battlefield.

In fact, this is also the easiest battle Alan has had in so many years.

Since the arrival of the Blood God, all flesh and blood power has returned to the Blood God's body. The flesh and blood puppets no longer have souls, and Alan will no longer be affected by the black mist generated by killing monsters.

After fighting in Saint Rey for such a long time, his soul became lighter and purer.

Much of the corruption and darkness that could not be purified and eradicated for a long time has also dissipated on its own.

Alan has never felt so light, and the impact of pollution on him has been minimized.

The two senior investigators looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They jumped up, picked up their lanterns, and hurriedly followed.

"Lord Alan, we need to inform Wangcheng first."

-

Empire.

The Holy Fire Sacrifice suddenly summoned all Trorian's top brass.

The king made an announcement that was beyond everyone's expectation.

"The invasion of the Filthy Blood God will arrive within ten days."

Horus asked in shock: "What's going on? Isn't it at least one month away as planned?"

Olivia was the most anxious: "Did something happen to Alan? Is it because I'm not here..."

The king smiled and said: "Don't worry, Olivia, nothing happened to Alan. There is no problem for you to stay in the royal city. You are our earliest king. You have been away for a long time and have no time to practice. You just take this opportunity to come back and take medicine." Pure Star Source Potion and Divine Potion will enhance combat power. As for Alan, he will return to the royal city soon."

Wang briefly told what happened on the land of Saint Rey.

After listening, everyone's expressions darkened.

"So, the ancient evil thoughts have already known about our delaying tactics?"

"They are also capable of blocking it, or at least they think they are capable of blocking it."

"Why didn't you take action until now?

Percival said worriedly: "I have a very bad feeling. The ancient evil thoughts seem to be deliberately indulging our behavior. They do not think that our rapid growth is a threat. Instead, they feel that time is on their side. "

Jelaba, who had just been promoted, thought: "Excluding the possibility of misjudgment, they may be waiting for something that is a great threat to us, or preparing some kind of fatal conspiracy."

"Maybe it's subversion from within." Lucien continued: "We must be careful to guard against internal disruption and be fully prepared."

Qingyu was very worried: "Maybe there are things we don't know about."

Jon was full of confidence: "The nature of ancient evil thoughts is arrogance. No matter what methods they have, we should not lose our pace. Whatever we did before, we will do in the future. As long as we have strong enough power, I believe there will be no problem." It can defeat us."

His words drew compliments.

Only Xingge muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's a lot of nonsense."

The words were spoken in a low voice, but they happened to be heard by Rhodes next to him.

He looked at her in surprise: "Xingge, why do you say that?"

Xing Ge raised her eyes. Her eyes were as big and beautiful as before, but they were not as lively as before, but looked very depressed.

"It's nothing, I just don't like what Brother Jon said. This is definitely not arrogance. The ancient evil thoughts must have some kind of support. We cannot remain unchanged. Any power that is powerful enough is obviously empty talk. What a powerful power. What counts as 'enough'?"

Rhodes was surprised to find that he actually felt the same way and asked, "Then why didn't you say it?"

Xing Ge puffed up his cheeks and kicked the ground dissatisfied:

"What's the use of saying it? No one has ever listened to me. It was the same when I was a child, and it was the same when I grew up. It's still the same after I became the Herrscher, with Sister Qingyu and Brother Jon here. , I’m just not taken seriously, but there’s an extra sister Efra, huh!”

Rhodes laughed out loud immediately, touched her delicate little face, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, you just haven't proven yourself yet. When you create a miracle, accomplish a great feat, or gain greater power, gradually people will listen to you. At the beginning, no one will listen to you. People listen to me, but now, I don’t want them to listen to me, and they still insist on listening, which is very annoying.”

Xingge looked at Rhodes, blinked his eyes, the melancholy in his eyes dissipated a little, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Rhodes is so kind, why don't you cancel the engagement with Sister Qingyu, and I will make a marriage with you?" I promise to have a child with you."

Rhodes was startled and couldn't help but glance at her figure, but he immediately looked back:
"How can this be done? How can the engagement be canceled? You are still young, so don't worry."

Xing Ge pouted. Rhodes wanted to say more, but saw a few dissatisfied glances coming over him.

Especially Horus, that look could eat him up.

Rhodes thought about lightning in his mind, immediately showed a smile, and said easily: "Don't get me wrong, I believe that we will definitely defeat the Blood God of Filth. This belief is so firm that it will not be affected by anything, so everyone also Don't be nervous, keep a relaxed attitude, just like facing a common battle, in this way, we can do many things better... I am just setting an example for everyone."

Horus's expression relaxed, but his tone was still a little stiff.

"Yes, your idea is very good, but don't be too exaggerated. You are already engaged to Qingyu, so don't talk to Xingge. You are our black rice bin. You must always pay attention to your image and interact with the two candidates for the king at the same time. It's not okay to go on a date with someone else. Even if you have this idea, you can't show it..."

These words were like a giant stick stabbed into his heart. Rhodes covered his face and shouted: "Stop talking, Archbishop, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Relaxed laughter came from the Holy Fire Sacrifice, and the tense atmosphere caused by the sudden attack of the Blood God disappeared.

Not far away, Qingyu blinked and looked at Rhodes curiously, as if to determine whether he had this idea.

Xing Ge lowered his head, seemingly shy, but his bright eyes were full of light.

Rhodes covered his face and just wanted to end it quickly.

after that.

In a relatively relaxed atmosphere, the king announced that Trollian had officially entered a period of war.

Trolian's law of war was officially implemented, and strict internal control began in Trolian. 80.00% of high-level combatants and all special combatants began to gather in Dalong City.

Be sure to complete it within a week.

At the same time, the Survey Corps is fully monitoring the whereabouts of the Filthy Blood God, and must pinpoint the time of the Blood God's invasion to the second.

Rhodes clenched his fists, and a raging flame rose in his heart.

He knew that these few days before the war were the final preparation time.

Everything is going to speed up.
