Xia Lin narrowed his eyes, Lal stood up from the stone, and patted his own buttocks, "I thought you would not die so easily, but I didn't expect to be with you in this situation See you again."

"They reported that it was the new emperor of the empire who led the army to attack Glory City. Could the so-called new emperor be you?"

Lal turned his head and stared at Xia Lin, "No wonder I felt that you looked like him from the first time I saw you, so it wasn't an illusion."

Xia Lin looked directly at each other, "Who?"

"Di'an, the commander of all armies of the empire, the so-called God of War who once achieved hundreds of victories and defeated the 36 fortress defense lines of the Radiance Knights." Lal said the name rather ironically, "You, are his children? ?”

"It's really interesting. He hates the City of Glory so much, and tried every means to sever ties with the City of Glory, but his own child awakened the Seed of Light and became the leader of the City of Glory, second only to the king."

Lal smiled playfully, "If he didn't die, he would probably die of anger by now."

Xia Lin remained silent, staring at the other party without blinking, but her hand touched the short blade tied to her leg, and she clenched it calmly.Atreus on the side put his hands on his shoulders, and his golden eyes were full of danger at the same time.

Lal glanced at their movements, suddenly smiled, closed his eyelids, and said to Xia Lin, "To be honest, I don't really want to kill you."

He took out his weapon, a broad long knife, and played with it in his hand, "Although you have the blood of the empire, you also bear the light seed. If you return to the city of glory, I can let you go."

"But—" he changed the topic, pointing the tip of the knife at Atreus, "he must die!"

As Lal's words fell, a large number of red-robed knights with bows and crossbows suddenly appeared on the hillside. At the same time, the white-robed knights on the plain quickly gathered and surrounded the two of them. The two of them raised their bows and crossbows together on the hillside, and the densely packed arrows flashed coldly and were ready to go.

Xia Lin blocked Atres behind him, Atres moved but was held down by Xia Lin again, looking at Xia Lin with a pair of golden eyes, showing puzzlement.

"Don't be impulsive." Xia Lin said close to Atreus's ear, and at the same time stood up to Lal.

Lal's eyes narrowed, "Did you finally choose to stand on the side of the empire? If so, we are enemies."

He waved his hand, and the horse archers behind him slowly pulled back the bowstring, and the power of the light-seeded lighted up the arrow. When the bow was drawn to the full string, the strength gathered at the tip of the arrow was enough to penetrate the shell of the mecha.

Under this wave of attacks, they have absolutely no chance of surviving.

However, at this moment, Xia Lin spoke.

"Lal!" He stared at the people on the hillside, and said word by word, "The strongest battleship of the Empire is now parked outside the atmosphere of the City of Glory, and there are countless mechas and fighters on the ground and inside the stars. If you If they attack us, they will immediately destroy the god well where the royal city is located. Once the god well is destroyed, you and the palace knights here will be trapped in this universe, and the city of glory outside will face even more violent attacks from the empire. Attack. When the teleportation is repaired, when you return to Glory City, the entire Glory City may have been destroyed, do you really want to see such an ending?"

"Destroy the City of Glory?" Lal sat back on the stone with some amusement, put the knife on his knees, and looked at Xia Lin in his spare time, "You dare to say that although the knights outside are all useless, you are nothing but fighters." At this time, the defense of the City of Glory is empty, and it is possible to drive straight in. The major fortresses and countless knights scattered outside the planet have not yet returned. When they come back, you people are just turtles in the urn. Rather than dreaming of destroying the City of Glory, it is better to think about it first. How do you escape under the iron hooves of the Knights?"

"Do you think we will only prepare for this group of people when we are going to deal with Glory City?" Xia Lin looked directly into the opponent's eyes.

Lal's face remained unchanged, "So?"

Xia Lin let go of Atres's hand, picked up the dropped sword from the ground, and looked up at Lal with determination, "The eight star regions of the empire have a population of tens of billions. Although the birth rate of Alpha is not high, the birth rate of Alpha is not high. The absolute population base is much more than the knights of Glory City. The only constraints on combat power are expensive mechas and starships, but as long as the empire spares no effort to spare its national power, it is enough for all Alphas to have the most basic The ability to face the knights. Now, we have assembled more than 500 million troops, and they are fighting against the knights stationed in the fortress at the border, and this is only a part of the active army of the empire."

"In addition to the active soldiers, there are also a large number of retired and wounded soldiers. The empire has developed new limb regeneration technology, and these personnel will be able to return to the battlefield by then. In addition, civilian mercenaries, security groups, adventurers The fighters, the guards raised by the great nobles, all these combatants were thrown into the battlefield, which is enough to expand the empire's military strength several times."

"As for the rest of the ordinary people, they can't control mechas or starships, but with their huge numbers, they can pick up guns and hold back the pace of knights. As long as the empire is willing to pay enough, ten years, 20 years, and another hundred years Even if war cannot destroy Glory City, it can still destroy the foundation of Glory City!"

After hearing this, Lal responded with sarcasm, "If you really put all the power of the whole country, then the empire will probably fall apart, right?"

"Yes, this war will only hurt both sides, and there will be no real winner. No matter whether it is the Empire or the City of Glory, no one can benefit from the war, so do you think it is really necessary to continue such a war? ?” Xia Lin clenched the sword in her hand.

Lal's eyes flickered, his back was arched, and his eyes scanned Xia Lin's expression with scrutiny.

After a long time, he sneered, "Moz, we've known each other for so many years, I didn't know you were so naive."

"Necessary? There is no necessary war in this world, but it is necessary. Otherwise, you wouldn't think that the hatred between the Empire and the City of Glory, and the hatred between the royal family and the royal family, can be ended with a single word of yours." Bar?"

However, Xia Lin was not choked by these words. Before he stepped into the royal city, he never thought about the possibility of war, but after he found out that the king was Lal, he saw a turning point.

He held the sword tighter in his hand, and stared at Lal intently, "Lal, I remember when Nado proposed to launch an all-out war against the empire, did you vote against it?"

The air was silent for a moment, Lal's eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and a dangerous breath lingered in the air.

Xia Lin stared at the other person's expression, the sweat dripped from his forehead and soaked into his eyes, but his eyelids did not blink.

He continued, his tone even becoming aggressive, "You know very well that Glory City doesn't have the confidence to fight the Empire for a long time now! The people of the empire only know that Glory City is extremely powerful and can be continuously cultivated through light seed parasitism. Recruits, but this is just the appearance, there are already many hidden dangers buried in the Glory City, and if there is another hundred years of war, the Glory City will be destroyed before the empire!"

Seeing Lal's expression darken, Xia Lin's voice became louder: "The series of chaos caused by the various coercive policies issued during the war has already laid the foundation of rebellion among the knights, and the knights and civilians at the bottom are complaining, and the big The commanders did nothing but fight openly and secretly for their own interests and territory. In the past 18 years, even though the two sides had ceased fighting, the Knights of Radiance still provoked the empire from time to time, causing conflicts again and again, because the internal conflicts could not be calmed down , can only transfer the emotions of the lower-level knights and civilians in this way."

"Not to mention that the large number of parasitic light species produced during the war has become the biggest unstable factor in Glory City. In the jurisdiction I once ruled, the ratio between native light species and parasitic light species has reached one to one. Presumably other The area under the jurisdiction of the Grand Commander is not much different, right? Only the original light species can inherit the light species, and the parasitic light species will lose the power of the light species after two or three generations and become ordinary humans. If the war continues, a large number of parasitic light species will be produced. The reproduction space of the original light species will only be further reduced, which will eventually lead to the severance of the inheritance of the light species!"

He said with a last breath: "As long as there are people in the empire, civilization will continue, but without the power of the light-seed, even if there are tens of millions of people in the city of glory, the civilization supported by the light-seed is tantamount to destruction!"

Xia Lin's words were loud, but Lal fell silent.

His expression was unpredictable, and his mad face was covered with clouds, as if he was thinking, or as if he was brewing some storm.

Xia Lin's palms were slightly sweaty. At this moment, a hand stretched out and clenched his five fingers tightly. He turned his head and gave the person behind him a stable look.

Lal finally stood up, and said with a serious face: "As expected of Moz, the five commanders, you are right, but the hatred between the empire and the city of glory, the royal family and the royal family has long been irresolvable, and can only be washed away through the flames of war." !"

The surrounding knights suddenly moved, and the sound of swords and soldiers rang out, all pointing at the two people in the encirclement, their murderous and fighting spirit soared into the sky.

Atres grabbed Xia Lin's arm violently, stepped forward, and protected him behind him, enveloping the two of them like a storm of mental power.

Xia Lin's face changed slightly, Lal thrust the knife into the ground in front of him, looked at the two of them, but there was a prey-like smile on the corner of his mouth.

He arrogantly said: "Let's decide the final outcome of this century-old turmoil with a decisive battle? I will let you go back now and give you 7 days to prepare. The time limit for the war is 100 days. You Take out all the existing military power of the empire, and I will send all the knights of Glory City. After a hundred days, the winner will be the king, and the loser will be the bandit. Will the empire dare to fight?"

This is already the biggest concession that Lal can make, replacing the Hundred Years' War with the Hundred Days' War, venting the anger and hatred of both sides in these Hundred Days, this battle may be worse than any of the Hundred Years' War It was even more tragic, but both sides were able to preserve more strength and continue their respective civilizations.

Xia Lin's heart was finally relieved. He raised his sword and said proudly, "If I win, I don't need Glory City to surrender to the Empire. A non-aggression pact!"

Lal raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

In Glory City, the Knights suddenly began to retreat.

Commander-in-Chief Huo Lun looked at all this confusedly. Just now, the power of Glory City suddenly strengthened. They almost thought they were about to lose, but the enemy suddenly retreated at this moment.

Is there some conspiracy?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the soldiers guarding him suddenly moved out of the way and bowed to salute.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had disappeared for a long time, came over accompanied by a blond young man.

"Your Majesty!" Commander Huo Lun saluted, but when he raised his head, surprise flashed in his eyes.

His Majesty was dressed in white clothes, but most of them were soaked in blood, bright red and glaring, with marks of knives and guns all over his body, and there were even blood spots on his leather boots when he stepped on the ground, as if he had just stepped out of Shura Hell, it was daunting.

The person next to him had a gorgeous face comparable to the gods on the murals, but his demeanor was rebellious. He grabbed His Majesty's arm almost offensively, but His Majesty didn't even push him back.

Xia Lin stood still in front of Huo Lun, and said bluntly: "I have reached an agreement with the King of Glory City. We will temporarily withdraw from the Mountain, and then contact the rear army to come as soon as possible. Next—"

His gaze was as sharp as ice, "Prepare for the decisive battle in seven days' time."

Back on the Mountain, Xia Lin asked the people beside her, "When are you going to let me go?"

Atres finally let go of his hand, "Are you okay?"

Xia Lin bared her teeth, and looked at the other party speechlessly, "Have you ever seen a person covered in injuries, is it okay?"

Atres grabbed his arm again, stared at him closely, and said forcefully: "Don't get hurt for me again in the future."

Xia Lin took away the claws on his arm, and smiled indifferently, "It's good to treat the injury, so I'm going to the treatment room?"

The two continued to walk towards the treatment room, and Atres asked from behind: "I thought you just made up a few words to get away from that guy. So you really plan to start the so-called Hundred Days War with him? How do you Are you sure they will fulfill the contract after the fight?"

Xia Lin replied as he walked: "The oath made by the light species cannot be violated, and you don't know Lal, and his words are one of his rare advantages."

Looking at the lights on the ceiling in the corridor, he said again, "War is just a vent of hatred for ordinary people, but for rulers, they only value profit. Continuing the war will not benefit Glory City, and Lal knows this very well , but the hatred between the two countries is too deep, only war can solve it, even if he is unwilling to fight, it cannot be stopped. So I will give him a step and give the empire a chance."

He took a deep breath, "Although they are all opportunities, winning or losing determines our future destiny. Therefore, in this battle, we must win, and we can only win!"

While speaking, they had already arrived in the treatment room. Xia Lin opened the white door with mental power, turned her head and said, "I'll go to the treatment room, you wait for me outside."

This treatment room is the most advanced treatment room on the starship, and only a few generals can use it. When Xia Lin came in, he found a bloody combat uniform hanging on the aluminum rack by the door.

The blood had dried up, spreading all over the combat uniform like black sores, and the original color of the cloth could not even be seen clearly.

He couldn't help muttering, "So much blood, I don't know how many injuries I suffered."

There is a half-foot-wide screen hanging outside the small door inside, showing that the treatment cabin is draining the treatment liquid, and the people in the cabin should be coming out soon.

Xia Lin took off her clothes and weapons outside, and prepared to change into the simple clothes she wore during treatment.

Just as he took off his shirt, the door opened with a "wow". Xia Lin looked over subconsciously, with a hint of surprise on his expression.

"Yxiut?"

The person who came out was Yixiute, he was also taken aback, then bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty."

"Why are you here?" Xia Lin asked.

Yixiut lowered his head and replied: "After I killed Gordo, I used Dark Star's main cannon to open up another weak point in the subspace, and chased you over, but when I arrived, the battle had already begun. I let Dark Star Immediately assist in combat, but I was seriously injured during the battle with Gordo, so I went to the treatment room for treatment first, and entered the battlefield after the treatment was completed."

"Gordo is dead?" Xia Lin was even more surprised.

"Fortunately not humiliated."

Xia Lin fell into deep thought. It seemed that he had underestimated Yixiut's strength, but he was a little happy. Godot was dead, and the decisive battle in seven days' time would be more assured.

He looked at Yixiut again, "Gordo is powerful, you must have suffered serious injuries, are you sure you have healed in such a short time? Why don't you go in and stay for a while."

Yixiute's body froze when he heard the words, he looked straight at him, and suddenly said after a while, "You will make me misunderstand."

Misunderstand?Misunderstanding what?Xia Lin was confused.

He turned around and continued to get the treatment suit, when a voice came from behind, "Is this scar from that time?"

"Yeah." Xia Lin replied casually, suddenly felt a cold hand on his back, and his body couldn't help trembling.

"I'm sorry." Yixiut said behind his back.

"There's nothing I'm sorry for. What you're sorry for is the empire." Xia Lin smiled and turned around.

Yixiute stood there, looking at him quietly, and then his body suddenly approached, and Xia Lin was pressed against the wall by surprise.

Yixiute supported the wall with his hand, enclosed him inside, and pursed his lips, "Lin, is it really impossible for us?"
