Lord of War

Rick's death was too sudden and too fast.

The battle between the super powerhouses often takes a long time to decide the winner and loser, and this is still in the case of a deadly battle where they never retreat. If one side is determined to retreat, then this battle will take longer to fight.

According to what Alexis once said, she fought little Lucas for several months, and he finally escaped.

At this time, with the death of Rek, the big and small Lucas had also noticed the inconvenience, and the two naturally wanted to retreat. Because, they have realized that Lake's death is not as simple as being expelled from this world, but the kind where even his phylactery is completely destroyed, a real fall.

As a result, little Lucas was naturally very surprised.

Emrakul had already received a summons from Sean, so he did not stop little Lucas from leaving, but turned to join his other two brothers.

Kozilek's opponent is the death knight Ann, the strength of the two is almost the same, it is difficult to tell who is suppressing who, but if it only plays the role of delay, it is enough.

And Ulamog's opponent is the giant tentacle summoned by Rek. Originally, if the twelve touches of Cruise were fused together, it could almost be equivalent to the strength of a super strong man, but it was a pity that Sean had previously One of them was destroyed, and several others were damaged later, so the Touch of Cruise with only nine of them could not have the strength of a super-power at all. It would be very easy for Ulamo to solve it.

Therefore, after Ulamog had resolved Cruz's Touch and reunited with Kozilek, Ann Lukas, the Death Knight, one of the Thirteen Undead Kings, naturally fell into a hard fight. And when Emrakul arrived, once the special attributes of the "Three Eldrazi Brothers" were activated, it was too late for Ann to leave. At this time, he would not know Sean's strategic plan. .

Thinking that one of his two brothers could eventually return alive, Ann's mouth just raised a slight smile, and then he and the three Eldrazi brothers fell into the final death battle.

In this battle, a dead place with a radius of more than 300 miles appeared in the southeast of the Millennium Covenant Empire.

But one of the Thirteen Kings of the Plane of Bones, the Knight of Death, Ann Lukas, was also buried here, along with an army of more than one million undead.

The Plane of Bones, under the guidance of Rek, launched a years-long invasion into the Plane of Miracles. However, this invasion ended in failure under the leadership of two Lich Kings and an Undead King, and also lost a Lich King and an Undead King. This is for the entire Bone Plane. It's a shame, but the anger is far less than what Xu Qing said to Sean.

It can even be said that this is even good news for countless people.

Lich King, this title can be won by many people. For example, the most powerful lich in a certain plane can be called the Lich King with the influence of commanding other lich. But even if it is such a Lich King, it is very likely that he is just an ordinary Lich when he goes to the Bone Plane, and he cannot take this name to other places at all.

Only the seven witches who have won the title of "Lich King" in the Plane of Bones are recognized as the real Lich King.

Although the earliest history of the Plane of Bones was not the seven Lich Kings, but the seven powerful Lich Kings who were gradually born in the long history of development. The three undead kings are different. Although if you are strong enough to be recognized by all Lich Kings, you can become the new Lich King of the Bone Plane, but as the strength of the seven Lich Kings continues to accumulate, the unspoken rules of the Bone Plane have long since evolved into A way similar to the undead king can only be replaced.

So Rick's death,

The vacant title of "Lich King" will inevitably cause a huge chaos in the entire Bone Plane. In order to seize this title, countless Liches will inevitably fall into a frenzied war. Under such circumstances, the death of the Death Knight Ann, one of the Thirteen Kings of the Undead King, will undoubtedly exacerbate the chaos that has affected the entire Bone Plane.

According to Sean's speculation, without a thousand years, the Plane of Bones may not be able to quell the war.

In this way, the Miracle Plane will not need to worry about any invasion from the Skeleton Plane for at least the next thousand years. The only thing to watch out for is probably the demagogic devils in the hell plane - the abyss plane has completely disappeared since the last arrogant invasion failed. As for them closing the plane channel by themselves, they are still favored. Kos forcibly destroyed the plane channel, it is unknown.

But these are not things that Sean needs to consider.

The heart disease that has been entangled with Lake for many years can finally be relieved at this time.

The dead tide of this corpse invasion broke out, and at this time, it was finally over.

Soon, the Millennium Covenant Empire joined forces with the Void Empire and the Knights of the major churches to suppress the Death Tide turmoil in one fell swoop, and the news spread throughout the Miracle Continent. And it is said that this time the death tide has been subsided. It is not the simple subduing in the past, but it has truly wiped out the death tide that erupts every few decades or hundreds of years in the southern continent. There will be no dead tide.

Although many people are not quite sure how this is done, this does not prevent them from sending some congratulatory words.

Anyway, as long as the mad dog of the Void Empire is involved, they only need to praise.

Especially after the return of the Emperor of the Void Empire, Sean Connery, after the entire Void Empire was completely united, this huge empire quickly revealed the terrifying strength that was not at all like a newly rising empire. The entire empire entered an unprecedented rapid development in an instant. It could have restrained the economic problems of the development of the Void Empire, and with the opening of the Abyss Path, the thorough integration of the major chambers of commerce in the trading capital quickly made it possible. The economy of the Void Empire is fully developed.

If it is said, Sean has brought an era that belongs only to the strong to the arrival of the entire Miracle Continent.

Then, when Sean returned from the underground world, he brought a new way of trade to the entire Miracle Continent: completely abandoning the fair trade model in which the trade capital controls market prices and one side dominates. Market prices in various places will fluctuate with the long-term trade route and changes in demand. It is no longer the kind of price market that is completely controlled by the major chambers of commerce in the trading capital, and they are free to set prices and have the final say.

This is true free trade.

Of course, at present, it is only acceptable for the races of the underground world to enter the surface world and coexist peacefully with human beings. Other countries still reject the inhabitants of the underground world, and this kind of rejection is even better than the rejection of the orcs and residents of other hostile countries.

However, Sean knew that this problem could not be solved in a short period of time. Even if he really wanted the entire Miracle Continent to accept the coexistence of the underground world, it would take at least decades, or even hundreds of years.

This question is urgent.

However, this question cannot be urgent, but there are other questions that make Sean very anxious.

Because Miss Cecilia is losing her temper.

"You're alone again, and went to fight when I wasn't paying attention!" Cecilia was so angry that she threw a pillow into Sean's face.

Perhaps it was because the anger was too much, so the pillow had turned into a fireball when it detached from Cecilia's right hand.

Facing the magic thrown by Cecilia, Sean didn't dare to use his face to pick it up, so he had to dodge sideways quickly.

This is the eighth day that Sean resolved Lake and Ann. He had just returned to the Void Palace and had to face the anger of Cecilia who had just woken up.

"I..." Sean opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, another fireball pillow flew over.

"What are you! You are like this every time!" Cecilia's voice was vaguely crying, "You always take all the problems and troubles by yourself and don't leave it to yourself every time. Retreat... Yes, you now have super-powerful helpers like Emrakul, Kozilek, Ulamog, and Alexis, but have you ever thought about what would happen if something went wrong?"

"What's the surprise."

"You've been missing for three years!" Cecilia growled.

Sean had to wilt and didn't dare to open his mouth to make any rebuttal, but still whispered: "That was an accident."

"An accident!" Cecilia's voice raised several points, "Haven't you thought about asking others to help? Why do you have to solve it yourself? You said you're not a lord, okay, yes William, with the help of Neil and the others, you can leave politics and military affairs to them. When you are your idle emperor, no one will object, but you must know that whether it is William or Neil, or Alexis , Rena, Alfred, everyone is united around you, if you are gone, then what will it all be like!... You can be an idle emperor, and don't even care about anything , but you just can't have an accident!"

"Isn't it still you." Sean said.

"But if I don't have you, what's the point of me alone!" Cecilia became anxious, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to throw away the pillow again, but there were only two pillows on the bed. I lost all of them, and I couldn't find a pillow for a while, so I was so angry that I started to get other things.

Sean's eyes were sharp, and seeing that Cecilia turned her head and thought of other objects, he had to rush up and hug Cecilia: "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will pay more attention in the future. Yes. Won’t… take the risk again.”

Cecilia, who was hugged by Sean, lost her anger.

She has never been treated so intimately by Sean in the more than ten years from wandering to stability with Sean. She even wondered if she was dreaming the last time she was kissed by Sean. But this time, when she was really embraced by Sean and felt Sean's body temperature and that spacious chest, Cecilia finally calmed down.

It's like a cat with frizzy fur that was finally calmed down, so cute.

"Really?" Cecilia asked softly.

"Yes." Cecilia, who was being held, couldn't see Sean's face, and at this moment Sean had a helpless smile on his face, "Anyway, the major issues that should be solved have basically been solved, and now there is no more What can disturb us, so even if I want to risk myself, I can't find a reason to go out."

Seemingly amused by Sean's words, Cecilia struggled a little, got rid of Sean's embrace, and said with a smile: "There is no war now, there is no trouble with the empire in danger, what's wrong. ... Now Chai Because of the suspicion of the new emperor, the Nas Empire is already unstable internally, and there is no way to fight our ideas; on the side of the Millennium Covenant Empire, Angel has returned to China, and preparations for the enthronement ceremony have begun. We have such a match with them. Friendship is there, and because of the death tide, the Millennium Covenant Empire does not have any reason or ability to trouble us. As for other small countries around, they are either attached to us or completely surrendered to us, isn’t that bad?”

"It's good." Sean nodded, "This will provide us with a period of peace of at least 30 years. After 30 years... I'm afraid no empire will dare to attack us." , Sean remembered that Utopia was finally built, and that William was in charge of sending troops to garrison, but Cecilia didn't know these things, so he said again, "I'm going to move the capital."

"Relocate again?" Cecilia was stunned for a moment, "Oasis City...isn't it? And there is a Void Palace here..."

"Oasis City will be the economic center of our empire in the future." Sean smiled, "But as a real political center, this is not suitable. ... Remember the Utopia I mentioned to you?"

"The ideal land of the earth?"

"En." Sean nodded, "I've recaptured it. William is setting up defenses over there. We will move there soon. It will be the real capital of our empire in the future. ... But Neil will continue to stay. On the Oasis City side, after all, this is our real economic center, and the communication channel with the underground world is also here, and we will develop a prosperous and prosperous huge city here.”

Listening to Sean's words, Cecilia's heart also surged, she knew that everything Sean said was true.

Because today's oasis city has all the factors that can make this city a prosperous city: the teleportation array to establish diplomatic relations with the underground world is set up here, and a large number of goods transferred from the trade capital are hoarded here. The headquarters of the Void Merchant Corps formed after the integration of all the chambers of commerce in the capital is also set up here. The leaders and family members of the major tribes in the wild land also live here. It can be said that whether it is spending power or business capacity, the entire oasis city can be said It is the only one, and it can even be said to be the center of the entire southern continent.

And Cecilia believes that in the near future, this place will also become the center of the entire Wonderland.

"But...what about Utopia?" Cecilia asked.

Sean was lost for a moment.

He recalled the process of fighting with his fellow Voidwings back then, it was a very hard but fun fulfilling journey. Now, when the wish that he had been holding on for many years finally came to an end, he found that he actually felt relieved, and his whole body didn't seem to be as tight as before.

"There is a holy place." Sean smiled, "In the future, it will become our political and cultural center. ... I will open an academy there to teach military, economics, politics, culture, magic, martial arts, etc. All the courses, etc., will continue to export talents for our empire. All the decrees, actions, appointments, diplomacy and other affairs of the entire empire will also be released there. In less than two years, Utopia will become the entire Void Empire. Recognized as a central place, there will be countless people who want to live in this city.”

Listening to Sean's description, Cecilia's eyes flashed brightly.

...

The Void Empire has finally ushered in a period of rapid development of Guotai and Min'an.

The only thing to say is a bit of twists and turns, that is, when Sean ordered the transfer of the imperial capital from Oasis City to Utopia. But this kind of twists and turns only came from the complaints of the nobles within the empire. Those who really wanted to refute and resist, but no one would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Especially, the situation around the Void Empire is just like what Cecilia said.

The Chenas Empire, which borders the Void Empire in the northeast because of the annexation of the Fascist Kingdom, because the new emperor is dissatisfied with the military god Jason, all the affairs previously coordinated by Jason are also gradually being returned and replaced by their own power. , this rectification will take ten years at the earliest to be pacified. If you count Jason's influence, it will be impossible to solve it without two or three decades.

As for the small principalities and kingdoms bordering on the east, as long as the Void Empire does not send troops to trouble them, they will be thankful, how dare they come to trouble the Void Empire? In the same way, the kingdoms and mercenary groups in the wild farther south also had the same mentality. Even after hearing that the Void Empire had stabilized, they hurriedly sent envoys to the empire to visit and presented many treasures.

As for the north, that is the territory of the Kingdom of Ryan, which is now led by the Void Empire.

Similarly, the Void Empire borders the Western Millennium Covenant Empire. However, when the dead tide broke out, the two had already negotiated everything through Angel, the middleman. Now, after Angel's ascension, the Void Empire and the Millennium The Covenant Empire is already an allied power that advances and retreats together. It is worth mentioning that, because Sean basically conquered the entire underground world, the Millennium Covenant Empire no longer needs to waste heavy troops to guard the path of the abyss, and after this force is completely liberated, the Millennium Covenant Empire also becomes One of the most powerful military empires in the entire Wonderland.

It is said that the Amelia Empire, which has long had a dispute with the Millennium Covenant Empire, also had to send a heavy garrison to prevent retaliation from the Millennium Covenant Empire.

But these things have nothing to do with Sean and the Void Empire now.

The Void Empire, which has ushered in peacetime, is also rapidly developing its own heritage. The potential accumulated due to Sean's disappearance for three years has finally exploded with the pacification of the dead tide and the recovery of Utopia. The entire Void Empire also began to flourish according to Sean's vision.

Sean carved out a large area in the southeast of Utopia as the land of the future Void Academy.

The academy envisaged by Sean will have four branches of military, government affairs, economics, and combat. There will be other more careful divisions inside. For example, in combat, there will be branches related to martial arts and magic. The same military also has staff, There are many more detailed subjects such as marching, formation and so on. Its main purpose is to transport talents from all walks of life and all kinds of talents to the Void Empire. Even if it is not the top group, if it can transport a large number of middle-level personnel, it will meet the requirements of the Void Empire.

However, these things require long-term preparation and replacement, and cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Fortunately, what Sean lacks the most right now is time.

He is convinced that under his rule, he will be able to witness the entire Void Empire eventually become a prosperous and powerful empire. Anyway, as long as he doesn't unify the entire Miracle Continent, his son of the plane can continue to serve for a long time, until... the will of the world does not look good to him. However, according to Sean's estimation, the Will of the World will begin to train the next heir and let him serve as a watcher, which will take at least several thousand years.

Before that, he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"Perhaps, it's time to get married?" Sean lay on a bamboo chair, looked at Cecilia who was playing by the lake outside Utopia, and thought while rubbing his chin.

When Sean didn't think about it in the past, he didn't care too much about Cecilia's feelings for him, but once he found out, he could no longer hide his inner feelings. So since he moved to Utopia, he has nothing to do, and he will play around with Cecilia to make up for the regret that he has been running around in the past ten years and has no time to spend with Cecilia.

And as this period of time heats up, the relationship between the two naturally heats up rapidly, so it is inevitable that Sean has this idea.

After making a decision in his heart, Sean simply stood up and walked towards Cecilia: "Cecilia, let me tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Cecilia turned her head and looked at Sean, looking at Sean's sturdy figure, her face turned slightly red.

Next to Rena, Sheena, Hela, Citri, Shefane and others could not help but snicker, which made Cecilia feel even more embarrassed. Although the relationship between the two is much closer than before, it is not what other people think. No matter how open the world is, Sean has never done anything out of the ordinary to Cecilia. , even the kiss happened only once in the Void Palace.

Sean walked up to Cecilia and said, "Let's... get married."

The bright sun shines on the land of Utopia.

This sanctuary completely repels darkness, so when the sun shines on the earth, the light here will show a holy halo.

The lake reflects the holy light, but the temperature of the lake water is constantly rising.

Cecilia's brain seemed to be down, and the only thing that was clearly visible was her face that was as red as a ripe apple.

When Rena and the others heard such bold words from Sean, they, along with Alfred, William, Neil and others next to them, also began to make coaxing noises, and of course there were also many congratulations. Especially those old people who watched Cecilia and Sean go through ups and downs together for more than ten years, let out a sigh.

But no one noticed that the temperature of the lake was rising rapidly.

Until the lake water began to bubbling, and when Rena and the others were scalded to the point of screaming, everyone realized that the entire cool lake was no different from a hot spring at this time.

At the moment, there was another burst of busyness and screaming.

Sean, who enjoyed a "boiled frog in warm water" scene with his own eyes, naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to laugh. But soon, these elegant ladies began to divert their targets, and they began to laugh at Cecilia. And Sean naturally didn't want to see Cecilia being laughed at, so he naturally came forward to defend it.

By the lake, or the hot spring, the lively laughter spread far and wide.
