Chapter 1 The Great Victory

The news of the joint fleet's complete annihilation of eight ten-thousand-man magical legions from the Celestial Plane near the Imperial Strait spread throughout the Alchemy Plane like wildfire.

Not only Lu Ying, but also the combat teams fighting guerrilla warfare within the Mafa territory knew this news and were extremely excited.

It was the first such glorious victory, and everyone saw hope for victory in the battle.

Along with the good news, a secret intelligence report was also sent back.

No one knew what was written on that secret report except Emperor Ekaterina.

But that very night, the major pharmaceutical factories received instructions to prepare large quantities of specific materials and equipment.

Some military secret laboratories had already begun mass production testing of genetic potions.

Senior generals of the military and the Quartermaster Department also received secret orders to draft a special military merit exchange plan and to transfer some elite magical warlocks to carry out a secret mission.

The higher-ups vaguely guessed that the royal family seemed to have a very special reward to bestow based on merit, which seemed to be related to the secret of victory in that great battle.

This made everyone look forward to it inexplicably.

The complete annihilation of a ten-thousand-man magical legion from the Celestial Plane might be the key turning point in the plane war!

......

However, even as the whole country celebrated, several cloaked figures were huddled together in a gloomy sewer in Lington City.

These were members of the "Celestial Eye Sect."

Like sewer rats, they could only hide in the dark sewers.

"Has the news been confirmed? Was the vanguard legion really annihilated at the Imperial Strait?"

"No news has come from Mafa yet, but... judging from the reactions of all parties, it should be true."

"Damn it, how could the joint fleet win?"

"It is said that it was due to the support of the 'Dawn Mercenary Group'."

"I've heard of that Dawn Mercenary Group. It's just an adventure group, and at best, it has the strength of a few pirate king fleets. A small group like that could be dealt with by any ten-thousand-man legion, so how could it help the joint fleet annihilate the vanguard legion?"

"I don't know. But it seems that Empress Ekaterina's attitude is also a big problem, and she obviously has a backup plan. Just like today's actions of our church, it seems that the military intelligence department has been watching for a long time, which led to heavy losses. Even the legendary hunter 'Thief Emperor' Carlo Meldis, whom we finally managed to recruit, was beheaded in the street."

"..."

When the cloaked figures talked about this, they all felt a chill down their spines, as if their every move was being watched.

At this time, the leader asked again.

"Can that secret battle report be obtained?"

"Not yet. Only Empress Ekaterina has seen the detailed battle report now. Our people dare not show their faces too much."

"What about Merlin Gregory?"

"He didn't give a definite answer. However, when our people went to visit, he didn't alarm the guards, and he didn't seem to refuse us."

"Humph! That greedy old fox, it seems that the price we offered is not enough."

"..."

The cloaked figures discussed for a while, and then dispersed.

......

On the other hand.

Number 15 Holy Radiance Avenue, once the residence of a duke.

Now it is Merlin Gregory's residence.

As the number one enshrinement of the United Empire, this ninth-order Merlin master enjoyed treatment comparable to that of a prince.

Originally, after Ekaterina ascended the throne and implemented the new policy, the empire abolished slavery and the hereditary rights of nobles, and no longer newly ennobled any nobles.

However, this Merlin master relied on his ninth-order strength and the support of the "old school" remnants of the old era of the noble system, and still enjoyed the decadent life of the old school nobles.

At this critical juncture in the plane war, no one said anything, and no one dared to say anything.

After all, the significance of a ninth-order combat power was extraordinary.

This Merlin master was clearly

also very clear about his status. And with his increasingly high status, he took over more and more power, and also had a row of direct descendants in the court.

In the evening, after Merlin master returned from the Frederick Palace.

In the mansion, some old school ministers had been waiting for a long time.

These people gathered together to discuss today's sudden situation.

Compared with the joyous atmosphere everywhere in Lington City, Merlin master and his party seemed to be more worried than happy about the great victory at the Imperial Strait.

The empire's legion's great victory made him, a ninth-order master, feel some potential threats.

In the secret conference room, candlelight illuminated several old and gloomy faces.

"Strange... how could the joint fleet's combat power defeat eight ten-thousand-man magical legions?"

"Yes. In theory, even with the advantage of ships and numbers, the fleet could only confront four or five ten-thousand-man legions head-on at most. Eight legions were prepared, so how could they be defeated?"

"Hey, you said, will that 'Dawn Mercenary Group' mentioned in the battle report... could it be that Mr. Mirror, the leader of the Dawn organization, went?"

"Impossible! That 'Mr. Mirror' from the Dawn Mercenary Group was severely injured by a master from the Celestial Plane before. I got definite news that it is impossible to recover in ten or eight years."

"That's strange, does that female Emperor have other ninth-order trump cards in her hands?"

"Not very likely. If it were so easy to advance to the ninth-order, the Alchemy Plane would not be so rare. Not to mention whether there are professionals who have reached the eighth-order perfection, that 'Cosmic Source Essence' is also hard to come by. Moreover, even if there is a ninth-order who can withstand a ten-thousand-man legion, that's a full eight legions..."

"Could it be the 'Dawn Mercenary Group' mentioned in the battle report?"

"Absolutely impossible! How can a small adventure group control the battlefield on the front line? This is probably just a trick of that female Emperor. It's okay for the bottom people to believe it foolishly, how could we believe in such a battle report full of loopholes?"

"Yes. Maybe it encountered a special storm, causing the legions of the Celestial Plane to be scattered. Then the joint fleet picked up a bargain and falsely reported it as a great victory. After all, those people in the Celestial Plane don't have a decent ship, so it's not impossible..."

"It's a pity that we didn't get to see the detailed battle report."

"..."

Several old nobles discussed one after another.

Merlin master's face was gloomy.

Whether there was another ninth-order or something else, it was not a good thing for him.

Now it seems that the royal family does have a means to deal with the ten-thousand-man legion.

Then it also means that the United Empire's reliance on him, a ninth-order, will be much smaller.

This is not a good thing.

At this time, an old noble asked: "Merlin master, what should we do with the Celestial Eye Sect?"

Merlin master: "Leave them alone for now."

The old noble said: "Are you saying, reject them?"

Merlin master gave a meaningful chuckle, "No. How can we reject them? We cannot win this war. You don't know how terrifying the power above the ninth-order is, so you don't know how the plane war will be. The only reason why we can stalemate now is because the plane channel has just been connected, and beings above the ninth-order cannot descend yet."

As soon as this was said, everyone in the room showed expressions of waiting for the next sentence.

Since they were destined to lose, they would naturally protect themselves as much as possible.

As for civilization and righteousness, in the eyes of these selfish old nobles, how could they be as important as their own lives?

Merlin master continued: "So we have to make several preparations. Even if the Alchemy civilization is really destroyed, we must ensure that our surnames, the descendants flowing with our noble blood, will still exist."

As soon as this was said, everyone nodded in agreement, saying: "Master, what should we do?"

Merlin master said: "Now those people in the Celestial Plane have no top-tier combat power, no warships, and they want to break through Lu Ying's several coastal defense lines, which is impossible in a short time. Now we must grasp the power of the United Empire as much as possible. Only by holding

the greater the right to speak, the more bargaining chips we will have. So whether this 'battle of the Imperial Strait' is true or not doesn't matter, it is impossible to win in the end. It's good that those Celestial Plane guys are frustrated, they will see our value even more. Those guys want to quickly gnaw down the sea defense line, they must rely on us!"

These guys who planned to surrender from the beginning immediately flattered and praised him when they heard this.

"Yes! Merlin master still sees far."

"That's right. If we agree to the people of the Celestial Eye Sect now, they will definitely not value us. On the contrary, the more power we control, the more they will value us."

"..."

Merlin master listened to the praise of the crowd, and there was an unspeakable complacency on his face.

From the former royal enshrinement to the current number one enshrinement of the empire, strength represents power, and the taste of this surge of power makes him feel better and better.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Prepare a proposal tomorrow to let the parliament agree to us controlling a part of the sea defense rights."

Hearing this, someone said uncertainly: "But... that female Emperor has already enacted a law recognizing that sea defense is only in the hands of the military, and explicitly prohibits any interference. If we interfere, will it cause a backlash from all parties?"

Merlin master smiled indifferently when he heard this, "Don't worry, that female Emperor doesn't dare to tear her face with me."

Speaking of this, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes: "Now only I can stop the ten-thousand-man legion. Even if they are dissatisfied, they must agree. If they really want to be against me, don't blame me for being unjust. At that time, her position as Emperor will probably be unstable!"

Hearing this, not only did everyone in the room not think that this was treasonous, but they vaguely carried a hint of expectation.

These remnants of the old era have not forgotten who deprived them of their supreme noble rights.

......

Suren knew that after the battle of the Imperial Strait, it would inevitably bring a huge impact on the situation of the plane war.

However, he didn't care about those things.

After dealing with those eight ten-thousand-man legions, he teleported all the way along the space coordinates on Mr. Mirror.

After several teleports, he came to Zunbula Iron Falls Province in the southern part of Mafa.

"Eh..."

Suren let out a soft sigh, and only after approaching did he realize that Mr. Mirror's coordinates were still in that mountain forest last time.

He teleported again, and the surrounding scenery changed, and he had already appeared in a pine forest.

Looking at it, Mr. Mirror was indeed here.

Probably because there is a natural hot spring?

The last time he came, she and Qiandiao were soaking in the hot spring here.

This time, only Mr. Mirror was here alone.

When he came last time, it was still winter, with snow flying all over the sky, pine forests and snowfields, a winter beauty covered in silver.

Now it is late autumn, with fallen leaves everywhere, and the forests are full of ripe and heavy orange-yellow.

When Suren sensed the coordinate position, he guessed that Mr. Mirror was soaking in the hot spring.

He fixed his eyes and saw that in the hot spring pool filled with misty smoke, a peerless beauty was soaking in the water.

It was actually his own senior sister.

She was wearing that kind of gauze dress from the old Lington "Akun Family Bathhouse."

Suren himself also felt that this was the most comfortable dress to wear when bathing.

But this kind of gauze dress becomes translucent after being soaked in water and sticks to the body, and the graceful figure is also unobstructed.

But Suren didn't expect that the first time he teleported over, he was chilled to the point of goosebumps by a chill.

The hot spring water was not frozen, and the chill was overflowing from Mr. Mirror's body.

Because he had given advance notice, Mr. Mirror was not surprised at all that someone came. She opened her eyes and smiled slightly: "Suren, you're here."

Suren walked over, looked at the chill overflowing from her body surface, and asked: "Senior sister, your injury?"

Before Mr. Mirror could speak, a ghost lady suddenly floated out of the rune black umbrella.

Pestoya was also concerned when she saw her sister injured, and said: "Sister, your injury seems to be very serious."

Mr. Mirror also smiled gently at Pestoya. She didn't seem to care about her injury, and said: "It may take a few months to recuperate, it's not a big problem."

Hearing this, Suren frowned.

His eyes instantly became devoid of emotional fluctuations, and with a flash of strange light, the secret of the white light overflowing from the wound on Mr. Mirror's body was peeled off and revealed layer by layer in his eyes.

Strangely, the injury was clearly a divine injury, but there was also a domineering chill.

And Mr. Mirror is a blood clan, and this kind of divine injury is particularly deep for her.

This injury was far less easy than she said.

She was soaking in the hot spring here, even to a large extent to use the temperature of the spring water to reduce the bone-deep cold stinging pain.

Mr. Mirror looked at his focused observation state, slightly surprised.

With that calm and composed expression, she felt that Suren seemed to have seen the root of her injury.

But how is that possible?

This is a high-level divine law injury that even she herself finds very棘手(j棘手: thorny, troublesome), how can Suren understand it?

But Mr. Mirror didn't speak, looking at the serious Suren, thoughtful.

Pestoya on the side also looked nervously with a small face, not daring to say a word.

After a long while, Suren withdrew from that absolute rational state, he blinked his eyes to relieve the fatigue of his eyes, and said: "Senior sister, your injury is very dangerous. Even if you recuperate for a few years, it will not be good. If it is not cleaned up, in many years to come, that high-level divine power will harm your origin."

"Eh..."

Hearing this, Mr. Mirror's face could not hide the surprise, "You saw it?"

"Yeah."

Suren nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "I think I can also solve it, but it may take some time."

"You can solve it?"

Mr. Mirror was really surprised to hear this.

She didn't know where her injury was that even the ninth-order would not be easy to deal with, let alone Suren, an... eighth-order?

Mr. Mirror smiled slightly: "So you have advanced."

"Yes."

Suren understood the secret of this strange injury, and heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was thorny, fortunately he could handle it.

It just so happened that he had similar processing experience from those Holy Light mages he had harvested before.

It's just that he is only eighth-order now, and it takes extra care to deal with this high-level law, and it takes a lot of time and effort.

But there is nothing to hide from his own senior sister.

Suren then said: "Didn't I go to the Dragon Kingdom sea area before, that sea map that you helped me translate... later encountered some things..."

The Dawn Mercenary Group encountered too many things in the Dragon Kingdom sea area, and it was impossible to explain clearly in a few words in the communicator before, and now that he was idle, he happened to have a topic to chat about.

He opened his mouth, and then said: "Senior sister, I want to help you deal with your injury."

"Yeah."

Mr. Mirror's eyebrows moved slightly, and she didn't refuse. She pursed her lips and smiled, but joked: "If you are not afraid of the cold, would you like to come down and soak?"

Suren certainly didn't mind, just felt it was inconvenient to squat on the edge of the pool.

With a change of costume, he also changed into a bathing suit and got into the water.

The spring water was warm, but strangely, there was a feeling of freezing the soul when approaching Mr. Mirror.

Suren leaned over and sat next to Mr. Mirror. This angle allowed him to have a panoramic view of that wonderful figure.

That already soaked gauze dress couldn't block much of the line of sight.

Mr. Mirror's figure is not as majestic as Sabina and Qiani Tao, but the proportions are always just right.

There was the rustling of autumn wind in his ears, and there was also the gurgling water in the pool, the ripples rippling, and a charming scene came into view.

Looking at it, Suren did not avoid it, and smiled: "Wow... senior sister has a really good figure."

Mr. Mirror glared at him, her eyebrows slightly curved, as if there was a hint of reproach, "Greedy mouth."

But she didn't say anything else, put away her gaze, closed her eyes and lay there leisurely.

Suren chuckled, with a healing green light lingering in his hand, deep into the past, and said in his mouth: "We went to the Dragon Kingdom before, and then we found the giant island on the map, and found the legendary 【Mimir's Spring】..."

While trying to draw out the divine power that was burning in Mr. Mirror's wound, he told the story of the previous adventure.

Mr. Mirror also listened with great interest, and occasionally exclaimed in surprise.

However, this injury was indeed somewhat beyond the scope that Suren's rank could handle. If he hadn't understood the secret of the law of the wound, even if the ninth-order came, it would not be possible to deal with it at all.

But even if he did it carefully enough, pulling out this divine power was like tearing a piece of flesh from a person's body.

It can be seen from the occasional frown on Mr. Mirror's face that the pain she endured was not light.

Suren could only treat the injury more subtly, bit by bit.

Fortunately, the adventure story of the Dragon Kingdom is very long, so you can talk slowly and treat slowly.

"Ah... senior sister, your wound extends to the lower ribs, I need to untie your clothes."

"Yeah."

The originally thin layer of clothes was gently unbuttoned, floating in the water like cicada wings, and in a blink of an eye, the snow-capped peaks were in full view. Da Feng Novel Network

Mr. Mirror always has an unhurried state, even if they are naked, she doesn't have any other color.

Suren also didn't squint, and carefully helped his senior sister to deal with the wound.

But, there is a third person.

Now most of Mr. Mirror's upper body was exposed, and it was clearly visible soaking in the water. The ghost lady, who looked a little bored, imitated Suren's words before and said with a smile: "Wow... sister, your figure is really good."

Suren praised it from the perspective of appreciating beauty.

And Pestoya was obviously teasing.

With this saying, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Mr. Mirror couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

Suren always felt like some kind of strange uncle in this girl's mouth, and said faintly: "You are not suitable for this body."

Pestoya fluttered twice in the hot spring pool like a landlubber, swam over and sat obediently beside Suren, and asked: "Why?"

Suren glanced at the deep career line and the proud figure, and asked: "What do you think?"

How can you, a young age, bear such a heavy burden?

Pestoya seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and muttered: "Ah... I also feel that Pandora's chest seems to be a little too heavy."

Saying that, she also poked it with her finger, and the naked eye saw a very Q elastic feeling.

Suren twitched his eyelids and was full of helplessness.

Mr. Mirror on the side chose to rest with her eyes closed, smiling without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, Pestoya said again at this time: "Suren, do you also think that my sister's is better?"

Suren: "..."

Mr. Mirror: "."
