Chapter 179 Surrender without a fight, organizations behind enemy lines
At the same time.
Northern Continent, another medium-sized kingdom, the Kingdom of Pal.
The capital, inside the palace hall.
More than a dozen core ministers and the king gathered together. They all frowned and looked solemn. Their brows had not relaxed since they received the news that the Kingdom of Arkana had been raided and perished inexplicably. .
In terms of strength, the Par Kingdom and the Akana Kingdom were just about the same. As a result, the Akana Kingdom, which had resisted well a few months ago, was eliminated in one fell swoop.
No warning.
How can this not scare them?
"Isn't it normal that everyone is very talkative? Why are they all silent today? Whether it is war or surrender, there must be a result, otherwise we will wait for Yongye's army to overwhelm us in a few days. We don't even know what to do." The old king sitting above looked at the core ministers below, with some dissatisfaction on his face. Normally, these guys are not so taciturn, and they can often argue for ten times over a trivial matter. Day and half a month.
As a result, when they really needed their advice, they all turned into cowards and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.
The ministers below are either generals in charge of an army, great lords of a land, or heads of large families. In the Paler Kingdom, they are big shots who can shake up the whole kingdom just by stamping their feet.
They are eloquent. If they are normal, there will be no problem if they talk for several days in a row.
But not today.
After all, it’s hard for them to express their opinion on this matter.
At least not be the first to publish.
This is a major matter related to the survival of the kingdom. To put it in a bad way, it is the division between the capitulation faction and the resistance faction.
Once there is a disagreement, it is really possible to start filming directly on the spot.
So until someone clearly stood in line, no one dared to speak, they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
“A bunch of cunning old guys.”
Looking at the silent “old friends” next to them, everyone cursed secretly in their hearts.
After a while, when no one spoke, the old king became a little impatient. He patted the throne and a barrier instantly rose up in the palace.
"Your Majesty, what are you?"
"Gulu..."
"It's a barrier again, could it be..."
In an instant, Everyone below was panicking. After all, they still knew the destruction process of the Akana Kingdom. Now that they saw this similar scene, they couldn't help but think about it.
The ministers moved slightly and quietly moved away from their companions. The energy in their bodies was running and they were prepared in advance. As long as the situation was slightly wrong, they would run away immediately.
"Since you don't want to talk to me, let someone else talk to you." The old king looked at the ministers below, smiled coldly, then stood up, and took out a several-meter-high tower from the space ring. The dark statue was placed directly in front of him.
The old king prayed devoutly: "Praise the King of Eternal Night."
The statue flashed with black light, and in an instant, a black vortex was formed, and a figure walked out of it. It was a man wearing a A ninth-level strongman wearing a black robe and a mask on his face.
“Eternal Night Divine Envoy!”
"How is it possible? When...when did His Majesty the King take refuge in the Eternal Night God Cult? Why did he take refuge in..."
"It's over, I asked you why Your Majesty knew the fate of the Kingdom of Arkana and was so urgent. Call us over, it turns out that he has surrendered to the Yongye God Cult a long time ago, and he wants to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
Looking at the strong man in black robes who came out, the ministers below were shocked, and their hearts were filled with surprise. Pull out the cold and pull out the cold.
Some smart guys are even more cautious, wary of the guys around them.
After all, even His Majesty the King has been infiltrated, who can guarantee that these guys around him are of the same mind as him.
"I have seen the divine envoy." The old king ignored the reactions of the people below and greeted him respectfully.
This Eternal Night God Envoy is extremely powerful and has reached the ninth level of the Holy Realm. And it is not an ordinary ninth level. He is a strong person in the ninth level.
In the Yongye Cult, he has a very high status.
Faced with King Pal's greetings, he just nodded lightly and said calmly: "You continue..." After that, he stood aside, looking at the people below with indifferent eyes, giving them a very deep impression. A lot of pressure.
Obviously the ministers are not bad in strength, and there are even ninth-level experts among them, but at this moment, there is a chill in their hearts.
"Everyone, this is the Eternal Night Divine Envoy. I don't need to say more about where he comes from! I originally wanted to ask your opinions first, but none of them refused to speak, so I have to take the lead! "King Pal turned his head to look at the ministers, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a smile on his face.
As for what his opinion is, it is now obvious.
Ministers: "..."
Looking at the black-robed divine envoy in front of them, and then at the barrier outside the palace, the ministers were speechless.
"Okay, let's not waste time anymore. I have decided to join the Eternal Night Empire and convert to the religion of God."
King Parr did not give them too much time. After thinking, he quickly urged: "Now it's your turn to make a choice. As for the conditions for joining, I believe you have already understood it, so I won't waste my time saying it again."
Everyone was silent and looked at their companions, all yelling at the old king for being unfair.
Damn it, if you want to surrender, tell us earlier. If we all surrender together, we can still sell it at a good price. We are not prepared at all for this to happen now.
"It seems that you are unwilling." After a while, when no one responded, the old king sighed, whether it was relief or disappointment.
The black-robed god's eyes turned cold, the staff appeared, and the dark elements surged, ready to take action.
The guardian of the Pal Kingdom also appeared in the hall at some point. Although not as powerful as the black-robed divine envoy, he was still a ninth-level powerhouse.
"Wait a minute... I am willing to follow His Majesty's footsteps and join the Eternal Night Empire." Seeing that the two of them were really trying to take action, a minister couldn't help it anymore and hurriedly surrendered.
"I am also willing to surrender..."
"I am willing to surrender..."
After a while, the ministers present all spoke out and surrendered, and most of the remaining resisters Pai, facing this clear situation, although he was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to surrender.
Even the king surrendered, what else could they do?
Voting against it at this time has no other effect except risking your own life.
Seeing this, the Eternal Night Divine Envoy nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the dark statue beside him erupted into dozens of streams of light, shooting at everyone, "Don't resist." Hearing this, everyone suppressed their thoughts of resistance. , let the black stream of light hit.
The light flashed away and integrated into their bodies, but they did not show any symptoms. They were as calm as if they had taken a drink of water.
Several magicians who had refined their spiritual consciousness immediately discovered that there was an additional mark in their spiritual consciousness.
"Your Highness, the Envoy of God, what is this?" someone asked aloud.
The sea of spiritual consciousness involves the very foundation of life, and can be said to be more important than the heart.
For a powerful transcendent, all injuries to the body, including the heart and head, are not fatal.
As long as they are conscious, even if their hearts are shattered and their heads fall to the ground, they can still recover.
But spiritual consciousness is different. Even for high-level extraordinary people or even demigods, spiritual consciousness is very important, just like the heart of ordinary people.
Once their mental consciousness is damaged, they will still be severely injured even if their bodies are intact.
Now there is suddenly an additional mark in their spiritual consciousness. How can they not panic?
Some people even speculate that this mark is not used to control them and make them obedient.
“Don’t worry, this is a dark mark, it has no lethality, and it will not interfere with you on weekdays. You can even use this to penetrate the origin of darkness and understand the power of darkness. After all, it is above It contains a trace of my Lord’s divine power, but even just a trace is enough for you to understand for a lifetime.”
The Eternal Night Divine Envoy glanced at them and said calmly: "Of course, if one day you choose to abandon my lord and try to kill this mark, then this mark will turn into a coordinate, a coordinate for my lord's followers. "
"Dare not."
The people who had just surrendered felt a chill in their hearts and did not dare to speak out.
No damage, but there are coordinates.
Everyone knows its meaning. This dark mark will not directly kill them, but if the coordinates are mastered by the Eternal Night God Cult, it will actually be no different from killing them. .
After all, the Eternal Night Cult’s assassination operations have never stopped over the years.
Relying on the secrecy of the dark authority, they secretly assassinated countless ministers of the kingdom, and even several kings died, including many ninth-level ones.
Even such a figure could not escape the assassination. The ministers did not think that they and others, who had the coordinates, could escape.
"The rest will be left to you, and others will come to take over with you later." After giving King Pal a few words, the Eternal Night God Envoy walked into the darkness without looking back. The vortex, the figure disappeared, and the vortex also dissipated.
"Please rest assured, envoy, I will definitely take care of it and send you off respectfully." King Pal nodded repeatedly and watched the black-robed envoy leave.
After the divine envoy had completely left, one of the ministers complained bitterly:
“Your Majesty, you did this unethically! You sold the kingdom without even saying a word from us.”
< br>……
An area far away from the Kingdom of Pal.
A hidden stronghold.
This is one of the largest strongholds of the Evernight God Cult in the northern continent.
"How is it?" Looking at the returning black-robed envoy, someone asked.
"It's done. The Parl Kingdom has surrendered. Just send someone to receive it." The black-robed divine envoy who completed the task replied with a smile.
“Agreed so easily?” The other person was a little disappointed, “What a pity, I was still thinking that if there was a fight this time, I would be able to get a few more high-level extraordinary undead souls.”
"Haha, why not keep it simple? If we really want to fight, even if we kill them all, there will be another killing battle. At least several months, or even years, will be wasted. It is not impossible. "The companion next to him laughed.
"That's right, that's right, we don't lack undead commanders. If you really want it, apply for it. There are many undead commanders on the other side of the river of the dead. You can apply for them soon."
"It is said that the empire is recently expanding into half a plane. Those planes are much more dangerous than ours. High-level extraordinary beings appear in batches. In order to deal with them, several of the empire's top legions have been sent in."
"It's better to go over there. You can do whatever you want and come wherever you want. We have too many restrictions here and it's inconvenient..."
"Okay, don't complain. If There is no limit. Do you think we still need to come? Those who kill fetuses can kill the northern countries by themselves."
"Now that the Parr Kingdom has been solved, it's time to move on to the next goal."
The overall strength of the Eternal Night Empire is much stronger than that of the Hundred Nations Alliance in the Northern Continent. However, their resistance has also caused considerable trouble to the Eternal Night Empire.
In particular, after they discovered that the Eternal Night Empire valued the people of the kingdom, they began to promote the evil and terror of the empire, saying that "the undead are everywhere and like to kill" and "the rise of the empire depends entirely on killing and looting. They are just a bunch of barbarians"...
It must be said that these propagandas are quite effective and have greatly increased the people's belief in struggle in the kingdom.
After all, the knowledge of the people of the Kingdom is not high, and there are only a few channels for understanding information. In such an environment, it is natural for the Kingdom to say whatever it says.
After hearing too much propaganda, coupled with the kingdom's timely relaxation of policies, the people of the kingdom have a bad impression of the Eternal Night Empire.
Facing the pressure of the invasion of the Evernight Empire, the cohesion of the countries in the Northern Continent has been continuously improving over the years.
Of course, the Yongye Empire has not been idle these years. They have also sent various organizations to the northern continent to carry out some small actions to facilitate the attack of the Yongye army.
After so many years of development, the Eternal Night Empire has spawned a variety of organizations based on "darkness".
Take the Eternal Night Cult as an example. Different from the empty shell of the Cult that only had a name back then, the current Eternal Night Cult has been completely perfected and has spawned multiple departments with authority.
House of Elders, Inquisition, Knights, etc.
Based on the origin of darkness, many believers have understood various strange abilities, and various extraordinary professionals have emerged, such as shadow assassins who hide in the darkness and are very suitable for assassinations. They can kill people thousands of miles away without being seen. The Curse Mage, the Death Mage who started the undead craze...
Under the leadership of the Eternal Night God Cult, many organizations were unified and many large and small groups were formed in the Northern Continent. They dealt with it from all aspects. The kingdom is destroyed.
For example, detecting intelligence, assassinating important figures in the kingdom, organizing internal rebellions, infiltrating in disguise...
I have to say that the dark believers are really suitable for doing this kind of thing. After all, they work very covertly, and they can fight in secret. However, he can run very fast.
The destruction of the Akana Kingdom and the surrender of the Par Kingdom were all their masterpieces.
If the main force on the frontal battlefield is the Yongye Army, then the main force on the battlefield behind enemy lines is these organizations.
Without their assistance, the road of conquest of the Evernight Empire would never be as simple as it is now.
