Introduction: No one can punish the Blaisen family, not even the blue moon that is high above and overlooks all living beings. Since the foolish tyrant is not willing to be checked by "loyalty", someone must be held responsible for Violet's anger.

Although the outcome had been determined long before the army set out, and although the Duke had already admitted that they would meet again in the next life, [Marquis Wuye] still did not hesitate at all. After leaving the Three-Color Courtyard, he rushed directly back to the territory and led his direct troops [Black Crow Guard] to rebel against the family. On the same night, he led his men to massacre the border town where the family was located. Not only did he kill his own brother, the current head of the family who inherited the name [Marquis Baiye], he even wiped out all the direct members, leaving out only a young man from the side branch who was extremely talented but had never been valued because of his status.

The next day, [Marquis Wuye] launched a coup, sued the Cang Yue royal family for hundreds of crimes in the border town, and proclaimed himself [King Wuye], calling on the knowledgeable people of the empire to respond. For a time, the situation in the empire changed drastically, and all the powerful nobles issued condemnations at the same time, declaring that they would be unconditionally loyal to the royal family and then sent troops to defend the king.

However, not far from the border town where the [King of Never Night] was located, the Kules Family and the Finn Family, who had been cared for by the Violet Family for many years, responded to the call at lightning speed, resolutely abandoned the status and inheritance of hereditary marquis, and used their own territory as the rear of the [King of Never Night]. Not only did they send the family's most elite legions and private soldiers to help, they also took charge of the supply of the army and openly raised the flag of rebellion.

The current head of the Violet family, Grand Duke Rocas Bracen, was greatly shocked by this. He openly stated that the rebels' offense against the might of Cang Yue was tantamount to seeking their own death, and advised them to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the two families would be wiped out without leaving a single survivor.

However, this rebel army that was heading straight from the southern border to the heart of the empire turned a deaf ear to their urging to surrender, and its only response was to annihilate three elite knight groups of the Hopkins family head-on. It took them only three days to reach the city of Black Onyx.

The time has come to show loyalty.

……

“What a complicated task!”

Inside the king's tent, Yu Ying turned to Mo Tan, who was sitting at the top, with stars in her eyes, and said with wide eyes, "Can you see clearly? Can I not see?"

"Obviously, this is the fourth case..."

Almost at the same time Yuying gave up, Mo Tan understood what [Invasion Like Fire] was talking about. With a relaxed expression, he said something casually, then nodded slightly to the female assassin and said, "You know what to do, so you don't have to read it."

"Thank you."

Yuying tugged at the red scarf at her collar and said this with gratitude.

"really envy you."

Yidong glanced at Yuying, who was beaming with joy, and muttered something helplessly. Then he staggered to his feet from his seat and reluctantly put on his hood.

Then, this tall and handsome young man turned into a rotten, cold, gloomy and corrupted corpse in the blink of an eye. The pair of eyes under the hood, which were filled with icy blue coldness, no longer had any life.

And he was not the only one who used actions. At the same time that Yi Dong transformed himself into the 'dead', Gu Xiaole also shook out his five-bone bat fan named [White Zetsu·Shura Hell], pinched a spell with his left hand, and then knelt on the spot and started to daze. By the way... he kept summoning shikigami in the tent with astonishing efficiency.

Red leaves, painted walls, dog ghost, bridge princess, bone woman, flying head man, earth spider, straw sandals, wheel entry, Katawarin, enyonra, Umibozu, Crow Tengu, Iktanmumen——

Under the gazes of countless people who almost popped their eyes out, those shikigami that were either familiar or unfamiliar, and had strange or exquisite shapes appeared one after another. Because they all possessed the ability of super spiritual bodies, these shikigami that were directly spiritualized at the command of the master once they appeared in the world did not take up space. As long as they did not enter the combat state, it would be no problem to stack dozens of them at the same time. Compared with those shadowy figures behind Yidong, they were simply too environmentally friendly!

"Briefly tell me about the background of the game."

While playing with the cross on his wrist, which was even less useful than its decorative purpose, Mo Tan wasted the time for preparing for the game, which was extremely precious to countless professional players. He said in a storytelling tone, "This is the Southeast Continent, which is more than 20 centuries away from the normal timeline. We are located on the south bank of the Samler River in the Cang Yue Empire. It is worth mentioning that in the future, an empire called Violet will emerge from the ruins, replacing the Cang Yue that countless people thought would never fall, and become the overlord of the Southeast Continent."

Yu Chen, who knew that Mo Tan was telling stories to himself rather than popularizing science, smiled and said, "As for the Violet Empire, does it have anything to do with the Grand Duke of Violet in our mission description?"

"Of course, it's a pity that we don't have enough time to discuss how the Bressen family led others to overthrow the brutal royal family step by step and finally completed the coronation on the ruins."

Mo Tan also laughed and said in a brisk tone: "In short, what we are experiencing now is a historical turning point. The three marquis families loyal to Violet stepped forward without hesitation and tried to take back Rocas Blaysne's sister. In the subsequent liquidation, they met with an expected end. Except for the hereditary marquisate of [Marquis Bai Ye], which was passed on to the only survivor of that 'betrayal', all the participants in the coup were wiped out without exception, and the brutal rule of that crazy moon was spread with blood." Yu Chen blinked and asked curiously: "Then we...um, or who are you, Hei Fan?"

"The leader of the rebels, the [Marquis Wu Ye] who just nearly wiped out his entire family."

Mo Tan, who had confirmed his identity at the first moment, shrugged his shoulders and said lazily, "At this moment, I, who have already arrived at the gates of [Black Onyx City], have only one goal, which is to snatch back Rocas Blaysne's sister, the second young lady of the Violet Family at that time."

At this time, Yu Ying frowned and asked, "Am I blind? Why isn't the Second Young Lady you mentioned in the mission objectives?"

"of course."

Mo Tan spread his hands and said calmly, "Because that lady was killed by Emperor Cang Yue on the night she was imprisoned. As for the news that she was imprisoned in [Black Onyx City], it was false information spread by Grand Duke Hopkins after he learned the truth of the matter to prevent the Violet Family from getting out of control and causing irreversible consequences."

"how……"

A hoarse and rotten voice sounded from under the hood. Yi Dong, who was in a shadowy situation, twisted open a bottle of mana potion with great effort and laughed with his harsh voice that sounded like a broken bellows: "Can this matter be kept secret until the Duke of Violet is buried?"

Mo Tan shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "Of course not. In fact, when [Black Onyx City] was breached, Rocas Brycein, who received the secret report at the first time, had already grasped the truth. But at that time, although he had already vented his anger once and was hit hard, he could not go any further. After all, completely breaking the window paper would mean that Violet and the royal family would break up. The consequence of the breakup at that time was that it was still unknown whether the royal family could continue to exist, but the Violet family would definitely be wiped out."

"A small leak will sink a great ship."

Gu Xiaole fanned himself while showing off his Chinese proficiency, and even added an extra sentence: "If you don't have a big plan, you don't have to endure."

Yuying said with a relaxed look on her face: "But since the [Black Onyx City] was destroyed in the official history, it shouldn't be difficult for us to fight? From what you see, Hei Fan, you should be the supreme commander of this battle. We are absolutely stable."

"Not necessarily."

Mo Tan stood up shakily when there was still half a minute left in the preparation time. He lowered his eyes to look at the not-so-rigorous tactical map on the table and said softly, "If I remember correctly, the [Marquis Wu Ye] attacked for a full seven days at all costs before he captured the city. I'm afraid that the time left for us in this game is only—"

……

"About two hours."

On the third floor of the administration hall of Black Onyx City, Lucy stroked her chin, her tone calm—

"Based on the series of tasks we have received, this should be the ideal time that Hei Fan can come up with."

Introduction: Rocas Bracen's clumsy tricks didn't fool anyone. Well, maybe he succeeded in keeping the poor Majesty in the dark, but the living fossil of the Hopkins family, who became a blood seeker by chance and has lived for nearly a thousand years, doesn't buy it. As a political consultant for the young people in the family, in order to delay time as much as possible, she even intervened in this crude war in person, and brought in powerful reinforcements that ordinary people could hardly imagine!

Nothing can bring people a greater sense of security than a thick earth dragon. Even though it is just a young dragon, after being blessed by the secret ritual of the Red Lady, the oppressive feeling brought by the giant beast can still make any normal soldier retreat and be terrified.

The only regrettable thing in this story is that the [Marquis of Nightless] who was in charge of commanding the siege would never compromise, no matter as the guardian knight of Rocas Blethyn or as the fiancé of Diana Blethyn.

He will crush any obstacle in his way and ensure the safety of a dead person at all costs!
