Chapter 138 Xia Di's Darkest Moment (1/2)

Shadi felt like she couldn't breathe.

She tried to cut Roger in battle mage form, but was injured by Roger's continuous ground-clenching attacks.

Anyway, he was surrounded by enemies and had no friendly troops around him, so he didn't worry about accidental injuries at all, and he was so reckless.

This was equivalent to the Dream Shield combined with super high mental power to exchange for Shadi's health. Shadi, a mage with high attack and low defense, couldn't handle it at all.

In a very short time, her win rate prediction plummeted, and she finally reached the warning line where she had to retreat to save her manpower.

But at this time, you can't just leave if you want to?

Roger didn't give her this opportunity at all, and directly activated the active effect of the Dream Shield in mid-air.

It was like a giant standing tall, slamming the tower shield in his hand into the ground, and Shadi's slender body was a small grass affected.

The power of fantasy can also interfere with reality, directly crushing her. Roger stepped on her shoulder and stepped into the mud soaked with the blood and brains of her subordinates.

There was a pungent smell in all directions, and it was dark in front of her eyes. Roger was pressing on her head and she was on the verge of serious injury.

In her perception, there were strange breaths one after another appearing in neat rows...

They ambushed Roger's men together, and there was definitely no chance to escape.

Xia Di could only use her last magic power to send a message of retreat to the peripheral contact personnel.

If they ran away, at least they could keep a little more hope for the Veronica Dynasty.

However, her message fell on deaf ears, and no one responded to her.

Recalling that it was "Roger" who pretended to be Dio and waited for her, Xia Di finally realized that all her actions were probably known to the Empire, and her subordinates might have been exposed at this time...

Unknowingly, has the Empire become so powerful?

Despair and depression made Xia Di unable to breathe and entered the darkest moment of her life.

It was not because she might die if she fell into the hands of the enemy, but because of the strength of the Qingteng Empire, she suddenly realized that all her previous efforts were like a joke.

She pawned her conscience and bottom line, but in the end she was still hung up and hammered, watching her struggle like a cat playing with a mouse, which was really pathetic.

Although Xia Di misjudged the authenticity of Roger's identity, her prediction of the direction of this battle was still very accurate.

The city defense army and the Dark Night Guard entered the field, and the resistance of the Tianming Army and the remnants of the Sea Kingdom seemed insignificant and was quickly suppressed.

Those who intended to resist were all shot on the spot.

Anyway, they were just some thugs instigated by Xia Di, and it was impossible for them to know the valuable secrets of the gods.

If they surrendered honestly, they could be sent to dig a mine. If they were not honest, the empire would not be willing to take the risk of being backstabbed by fanatics.

So the situation was quickly controlled.

Hearing the movement, Margaret quietly slipped back from her hiding place.

She looked at the messy battlefield and the only proud Dio (the active effect has not been lifted), showing an incredible expression.

Is this really a record he won alone?

She always thought that her friend was a cute little girl who needed her care.

But now she was wrong, and she was wrong to a great extent. He was actually a big bad wolf who ate people!

Hey, what's the matter with this sudden excitement?

The chaotic nature of demons has the instinct to worship and obey the strong.

This is also the reason why the upper demons can easily suppress the crazy people below.

Roger is not a demon, of course he can't suppress the little ceiling fan by blood, but the strong enough strength he showed at this moment is enough to make Margaret's heart have different ripples.

Her unswerving worship of the Queen of Eternal Night is actually inseparable from the Queen's strength.

This kind of child who grew up in despair and chaos will naturally not have any good feelings for vase-type idols, but will only admire the powerful ones, and hope that he will become a powerful person like the demon lord one day.

Dio's performance today is definitely a powerful one among the powerful ones.

The whole block looked like it had been hit by several rounds of meteorites, with pits and craters everywhere, and not a single stone slab on the ground was intact.

A group of assassins suddenly appeared, some dead and some wounded, lying all over the ground.

Dio was not injured at all, and the magic power that was as terrifying and boiling as the raging waves was now hidden.

In the perception, he was just an ordinary high-level magician, how could he be the peerless strongman who suppressed a group of armed thugs alone?

Such a low-key disguise made Margaret feel more secure.

The sword is most deterrent in the sheath. The combat power of a strong man is hidden, so that the enemy can't figure out the depth and fall to the street. This is a very smart performance.

At this moment, the Tianming Army proved that it had kicked the iron plate.

Margaret became more and more excited as she thought about it, with a strange light in her red eyes, secretly looking at Dio's figure.

Well, what's the matter with suddenly not wanting to be just friends...

You have to restrain yourself! Don't be too greedy!

The half-blooded demon clenched his fists, his tail stretched straight, and took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Then, as the highest-ranking official on the scene, she called the city defense army and the commander of the Dark Night Guard who blocked the scene to understand the cause and effect of the incident.

This battle happened suddenly and ended neatly.

In less than five minutes, the operation that Tianming Gousheng had been preparing for two months was declared a failure.

After the cabinet meeting was cancelled, Roger did not teleport back to his residence directly, but took a walk with Margaret, which took a little too long.

Xia Di was worried that Queen Yongye might return to the city at any time, so she immediately ordered her men to change their tactics, from ambushing her at home to intercepting her on the way, and then such a battle broke out.

This was the backup plan of the Tianming Army, and it was also within the information controlled by the Dark Night Guard, but it was just half a beat too slow in reacting.

But as soon as the battle here began, Hicks noticed that the Tianming Army was moving ahead of schedule and immediately launched a backup plan.

He personally went to arrest the members of the Tianming Army near Dio's residence, and at the same time, the Night Guards who were keeping an eye on other directions also began to close their nets.

Immediately, the Tianming Army who was waiting for support and response from other directions, and His Highness Shaq, the Crown Prince of the Sea Kingdom, who was waiting for news, were all captured by the Dark Night Guards.

Many people found themselves unable to resist before they had time to react. They were dumbfounded when they saw the Night Guards rushing in through broken doors and windows.

Damn it, we haven’t even claimed responsibility for today’s actions, but we were directly exposed?

At this moment, the passionate young people of the Tianming Army, who had lofty ambitions to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Wei Dynasty, fell into confusion about who was the hunter and who was the prey.

In this operation to arrest Dio, the Tianming Army found and targeted a total of 677 people including Shadi Veronica, and 59 people including Prince Shaq of the Sea Kingdom.

In the end, Roger killed more than 120 people on the spot. Thirty-four people were killed on the spot because of resistance. The rest were all captured. In the end, no one escaped.

After all, the advantage in field of view was too great, and it was still a home game. Hicks said he was not surprised by the ending.

As long as their equipment without magic power fluctuations is not exposed, the Mysterious City will be a nightmare for all intelligence organizations and dark realms.

However, except for the current operation against the Tianming Army, Roger restrained the Night Guard's impulse to commit crimes and did not allow them to disturb spies from other countries who had infiltrated the empire. He only monitored and watched.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If the empire really becomes an intelligence black hole, and hostile forces from all walks of life continue to send new spies, sooner or later their little secrets will be discovered.

At that time, their crushing game may turn into a secret battle in which the enemies also supplement their development and upgrade each other's intelligence technology and equipment.

So why bother yourself?

Now that they know the enemy's location and actions, they can control the intelligence obtained by enemy spies and induce their actions.

Rounding things off, these enemy spies are basically our own people who are receiving wages from the opposite party. Why can't they think of ruining this good situation?

This wave was just because Teacher Tianming turned against him and the empire needed to get information from her, so it took away the main force of Tianming Army in one wave.

Roger has always believed in eradicating the roots. In addition to the Mysterious City, Night Guards from other places also took action to arrest the remnants of the local Tianming Army based on clues.

According to professional analysis, with the arrest of Shady Veronica, the remaining members of the Tianming Army may not be able to hold on for long and will disintegrate over time.

But not all losses were lost on the empire's side.

The secret whistles around Dior's residence were just fake deaths, and they had prepared means in advance to offset fatal injuries, so they were just a very realistic co-ordination performance, and there were no actual casualties.

But the escort Margaret brought was not so lucky because Shadi acted on the spot.

Several other civilians who accidentally entered the battlefield were executed on the spot by the Tianming Army to prevent leaks.

In the subsequent battle, a space blockade was carried out to prevent Dio. The dissipated power was confined to the subspace, and the damage to the mysterious city was minimized.

However, the city defense army did not know much about these inside stories. The Night Guard and the military system were parallel to each other. They did not report all the details to Margaret, but simply reported the enemy's losses and our losses.

After hearing that all her bodyguards had died in battle, Margaret was inevitably a little sad and angry.

Those guards followed her for a long time, fighting in the north and south, and came across many storms and waves. They did not want to be ambushed by the enemy in the capital of the empire, but no one survived.

She ordered in a cold voice: "Investigate this matter carefully and find out the identity of the assassins. We must not let them go unpunished!"

The commander of the city defense army nodded in agreement and followed the order.

Golden-sleeved Higgs on the Night Guard side did not answer immediately and looked at him strangely.

The leaders of the Tianming Army were arrested, and the main force was either arrested or killed. How could they still get away with it?

Taking into account the confidentiality regulations, now that the operation against the Tianming Army has been perfectly closed, it seems that some information can be properly disclosed to the outside world, right?

If you continue to hide it, isn't this a repeated waste of the empire's manpower and material resources?

He confirmed that his logic should be correct, took a step forward, and reported to Margaret, who was still in the dark: "Return to the Prime Minister, there is no need to investigate this matter. The Night Guard has obtained detailed information about the enemy. If you want to continue For further information, you can apply to our commander."

Margaret:? ? ?

City Defense Force Commander:? ? ?

After being stunned for a moment, Margaret couldn't help but look angry: "You have detailed information, but you still let the enemy wreak havoc in the mysterious city, putting Lord Dio and I in danger?"

Higgs had no choice but to tell the truth: "Sir, Master Dio is cooperating with the performance, and our commander has also arranged for someone to be responsible for the finishing touches. Theoretically, there is no danger, and this is not a dangerous situation..."

"Why does that kid Roger say it doesn't count? It's obvious that that kid made a mistake in dealing with it. If Master Dio's hidden strength hadn't been high enough, you might have come to collect the corpses of the two of us now!" Margaret became more and more angry as she spoke. .

She complained for her subordinates and also for Dior!

Roger, stupid!

I would never do something like this even if I had a lot of information in my hands!

Higgs suppressed his anger and said with a pinched neck: "There is no problem with Lord Charles's arrangement."

He bit "Lord Charles" hard and reminded Margaret: Although you are the prime minister, please be polite to my Lord, Marquis, and don't yell like that kid!

"Oh? Are you night guards so confident?" Margaret narrowed her eyes dangerously when she saw that this night guard dared to contradict her.

How about not losing one of his eyes and changing his profession to a demon hunter?

Higgs felt that Margaret was not feeling well, but he did not take a step back and looked at her calmly.

The right hand wearing the eight-arm space glove is held empty, ready to take action.

Although he was officially incorporated, he still had the aura of a knight errant, and he was impressed by Roger's strength and financial resources. He was very angry when he saw this little hybrid devil pointing the way to the country!

Many Night Guards felt that the atmosphere here was not right, so they also came closer and stood behind their Lord Jinxiu.

Unknowingly, Roger's prestige in the hearts of the Night Guards has been extremely high.

Even if the prime minister makes unreasonable accusations and disrespectful words towards his own commanders, they cannot bear it!

Roger used his continuous victory, extreme protection of shortcomings, and sufficient materials to cultivate the arrogance of the Night Guard.

The Duke had cut off countless heads of these professionals whose average age was no more than twenty-five years old.

Except for the Queen and her own commander, she doesn’t recognize anyone and doesn’t give anyone face!

The commander of the city defense army looked left and right and found that there was no one he could afford to offend, so he tried to reduce his presence.

"Rebellion, rebellion, the spies of the empire are going to rebel! I'm just asking if your work is in place, and you are going to take action against the prime minister of the empire?" Margaret was angry and aggrieved.

F*ck, I, the dignified Prime Minister, was attacked just now, so I just made a few remarks, and ended up being chopped down by the Night Guard?

You guys are really great and loyal people!

Just when the two sides were at war with each other, a figure cut off Margaret's line of sight and blocked Higgs' attack route.

Roger walked over with a faint smile on his lips: "Mary, if you want to know more information, just ask me directly. I really didn't expect to involve you today. I'm sorry."

Seeing Dio, Margaret's eyes softened instantly.

She quickly said: "Dior, please don't apologize. I'm not targeting you. You are also a victim. These night guards have information but do nothing..."

Roger said seriously: "I deeply sympathize with what happened to your guards. But the Night Guards have done their best to complete their work. There are some misunderstandings here. I will explain to you later, okay?"

"Of course it's okay, Dio, if you have something to do, you should get busy first..." Margaret lowered her head.

Dior's gentle speech actually made her feel that she was going a little too far?

"Thanks for understanding."

Roger's hand behind his back waved vigorously at Higgs, signaling him to retreat quickly.

Margaret didn't have enough information, and she had a guard she had been with for a long time. It was understandable that she questioned and doubted the work of the Night Guard.

As for Higgs and other Night Guards protecting their reputation, it is an unexpected blessing.

Everyone is working for the empire, there is no need for internal strife.

Fortunately, after getting along with each other these days, Roger somewhat understood that this little ceiling fan had a soft-spoken personality.

As long as you keep your posture low, apologize proactively, and say soft words, most matters that don't involve the Queen of Evernight can be passed over like this.

After comforting Margaret for a few words, Roger pulled out Shadi from the soil and took her to the Maple Spirit Moon Shadow Palace.
