Chapter 536-534: Pre-Battle Preparations (Please Subscribe)
The entrance to Lion Manor.

Luo Yi stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

The night was still and quiet. The surrounding streets were blocked off, and black-clad swordsmen were stationed all around. No one spoke.

Then a gust of wind blew by, carrying the sound of horses' hooves, and through the mist, a magical carriage adorned with flower banners rode the wind.

Upon approaching, the carriage doors opened, and a remarkably handsome middle-aged man and a beautiful woman slowly stepped down, their demeanor as elegant as aristocrats.
However, their faces were far too pale, as pale as corpses.

Loy stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grand Duke Karen, Lady Lucy, it's nice to see you again."

Grand Duke Karen was very enthusiastic and gave Loy a hug: "We'll be living a life of unbearable hardship once we get back."

We're afraid you're so busy that you might forget about us.

"How can it be?!"

Luo Yi sensed a hint of resentment in his words and immediately declared, "That's a demiplane. If you want it, of course I want it too."

"So, to ensure everything goes smoothly, with the expansion of three divisions completed and the magic tanks upgraded, that's why I've invited you all here."

As he said this, he didn't mean to invite the two into the Lion Manor, but instead said, "How about we talk as we walk?"

"it is good!"

A moment later, Loy also boarded the magical carriage named 'Son of the Wind,' followed only by Oliveira.
Then, knights led the way, followed by black-clad swordsmen as they escorted the group along the main road towards the east of the city.

Once outside Brussels, they immediately picked up speed. Although it was just a carriage, it moved with lightning speed.

On the carriage, Luo Yi explained her detailed plan: "Conquering that demiplane requires mobilizing a large army. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Fortunately, I will use the pretext of expanding and reorganizing the army to mobilize the large army in rotation and train and garrison them in the military camp in the east of the city."

My idea is to leave one division behind to protect the Flower Territory while being ready to provide support at any time.

The actual force that entered the Blood Moon Forest consisted of two divisions, totaling approximately 20,000 men.

"Don't think this force is too small. These 20,000 men include two artillery regiments, all equipped with the latest magic-powered field guns. I also used my connections to get a lot of tracer rounds from the Empire."

As for the two tank regiments, they are equipped with second-generation "King of the Land" tanks, making their combat strength quite considerable.

"The reason we didn't go inside the Lion Manor is because there are too many people around and the news might get leaked."

As you all know, the situation in Flower Territory is being watched by countless forces. Both the Allied Forces and the Empire are afraid of my explicit intervention on that side, so we must keep a low profile, as low as possible.”

"To be honest, I'm also afraid that someone might take advantage of the Imperial Guards being out to cause trouble in Flower Territory."

"As for other logistics, supplies, and personnel arrangements, you don't need to worry about them. The Flower Clan will take care of everything."

Grand Duke Karen and Lady Lucy exchanged a glance, both seeing joy in each other's eyes.

Clearly, Luo Yi wasn't just talking; she had considered all aspects and had specific plans and arrangements.

Moreover, the cost of a large army's march is astronomical, and if it weren't for the Flower Leader bearing the burden, they really wouldn't have been able to afford it.

This reassured them a lot, and they immediately shared their preparations and information.

"We haven't been idle these past few days either. We've conducted in-depth research on that blood moon fragment, and based on that, we designed a complete spatial magic array. Creating a stable entrance shouldn't be difficult."

We even prepared the materials for the decorations.

However, there is one thing I need to clarify.

"what?"

"Grand Duke Torido was also worried that we might use the fragments to enter the Blood Moon Forest after losing some of the Blood Moon fragments."

Therefore, according to the information we received, he seems to be conducting a large-scale mobilization of the dark race within his ranks.

Organize and train all those dark tribes.

At the same time, he contacted other vampire clans and dark races, hoping to obtain assistance from other legendaries.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi couldn't help but sit up straight. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Then how many legends did he seek out?"

"He has searched for all the legends he could, but it's hard to say how many will respond."

"Isn't there any more accurate information?"

"What about this?"

Grand Duke Karen and his wife exchanged a glance before smiling wryly and saying, "Your Excellency, I have already explained the situation of Grand Duke Toredo to you in detail."

This Camarilla leader, in the Blood Moon Forest demiplane, has saved many dark races; in a way, he has shown them a great deal of favor.

However, because of his actions and vicious words, he also offended the entire dark faction.

"So if someone is grateful and willing to help him, we have no doubt; but if someone resents him and is unwilling to talk to him, I think that's perfectly reasonable."

"The result is that if you ask me how many legendary figures he can bring in to help him out?"
I'm not sure either!!!

Grand Duchess Lucy also spoke up: "The reason we are in such a hurry is because those beings are mostly in the New World. Even if they are all legendary, it takes enough time for them to come and go."

Therefore, our best option is to take Blood Moon Forest before they arrive.

Luo Yi nodded, then shook her head: "Speeding up is fine, but rushing around and losing your composure is unnecessary."

"Advancing as a large army is not like a strong person going it alone; there are too many things to pay attention to. We have to proceed step by step."

"We don't understand this, so we'll listen to the Earl."

The magic carriage was quite fast, and after talking for a while, they arrived at the military camp in the east of the city.

A huge plaza has been cleared out here, enough to build a large teleportation portal.

At Grand Duke Karen's whistle, the sound of bats flapping their wings echoed through the night, and countless bats gathered, transforming into human form.

Those were clearly vampires from the Karen family, numbering no more than a dozen in total. After each taking out their dimensional bags, they began emptying them. On Roy's side, Lady Palacios stepped in to coordinate with them, and once things got busy, even the two legendary vampires were incredibly busy.

This kind of magic circle, which is considered to be semi-transcendent, is not easy to set up. Just drawing the magic runes alone takes many days.

Luo Yi didn't disturb them. She watched for a moment, said hello, and then turned and left.

After all, they are two legends, and he has to go out and receive them. But once he gets busy, he naturally won't need to wait here.

Ultimately, he himself has a lot of things to do!
For example, he planned to learn the basics of those three sacred techniques before the battle even began.

……

The Temple of the Sun God, the Golden House, Loy is entangled with the red dragon Virgil.

Luo Yi: "One more vat, that's fine. Anyway, you're just drinking Isis Spring wine for the taste, it's such a waste."

Red Dragon: "Waste? That's mine too, my Isis Wine Spring. I can waste it if I want."

"I'm not trying to be mean, Luo Yi, but don't you think your skin is getting thicker and thicker?"

Loy: "Really? No way! I, Loy Raymond, am a renowned powerhouse in the Old World, capable of fighting legendary fourth-tier Calamities. Who dares to say I'm shameless?"

Red Dragon: "I told you so! What? You want to fight me? Come on! I'm not afraid of you!"
Another vat? That's from Isis Wine Spring, sold by the drop!

Luo Yi: "I'll buy it, okay? I'm always generous with money, I'll definitely make you happy!"

Honglong: "If you're willing to pay, that's another story. The price will remain the same as before. I won't take advantage of you."

However, I don't even have that many left myself, one tank won't do!

"How about one pot then!"

"roll!"

"One water pouch should be enough for me!"

"Alright then, where's the water bladder?"

"it's here!"

"I mean, your water bladder is bigger than a basin?"

"Hehe, it's specially made, specially made! It's a full water sac, I'm not lying to you."

"you are vicious!"

A moment later, Virgil the Red Dragon looked at the mountain of Gintil and pounced on it, nuzzling around with a blissful expression.

On the other side, Luo Yi was carrying an enormous water bag, shaking it back and forth, looking equally happy.

……

The Mechanical Mage Tower, on the sixth floor, has a separate magical plant room where a Dragonblood Silver Fir tree has been transplanted.

That's right, this is the tree species that King Silas of Fury found for him from the depths of the Sky Dome Mountains. Don't be fooled by its small size; it has lived for at least ten thousand years.

According to Silas, a dragon must have lived near this tree for a long time. It not only absorbed the dragon's aura, but also had its blood spilled on it after it was injured in battle.

Originally, the heat of the dragon's blood could have burned the tree to death, but if it survived, it would become another species stained with the dragon's blood.

In addition, silver fir trees are known for their long lifespan, so it's not impossible for them to live for another ten thousand years.

Luo Yi examined it carefully and was very satisfied. And now, he is watering the plants with a jug containing a special magic potion in one hand.

The potion, infused with the magic of Isis's Spring, exuded a rich vitality that even made the silver fir tree rejoice, shaking its branches and leaves.

In this world, wild beasts that live long enough can become spiritual beings, and the same is true for precious magical trees.

It already possesses a vague sense of will and knows right from wrong.

In Luo Yi's other hand, she held a sky-blue seed, and visible divine battle energy gathered and poured into it.

This tiny seed, though small in appearance, is as vast as an abyss, absorbing so much divine battle energy without spilling out or being damaged in the slightest.

The wondrous 'Azure Divine Seed' truly lives up to its name!

……

On the other side, in the Mechanical Mage Tower, in the secluded meditation room.

A pair of strange objects, resembling glass but shaped like eyes, floated in mid-air. Bathed in a magical potion, they emitted a hazy light, rising like smoke and mist.

Luo Yi stared intently at the strange eyeballs, her eyes transforming into eagle eyes, her pupils rapidly contracting and flashing.

Gradually, Luo Yi's eyes seemed to be enveloped in light, like smoke and mist, rising and swirling.

And those two strange objects, like pieces of glass, seemed to drift away and disappear.

After a long while, Luo Yi stood by the window of the mage tower, looked up, and her eyes shone with a hazy blue light.

His field of vision seemed to be able to be adjusted at will, zooming in and out, all at the slightest thought.

He could even see through the thick clouds a magical eagle soaring through the sea of ​​clouds.

Their eyes met, and the eagle seemed to have spotted him too, startled and almost forgetting to flap its wings.

A moment later, Luo Yi couldn't help but rub her eyes, feeling extremely tired.

However, he still exclaimed, "The secret sacred technique, [Eye of the Azure Sky], truly lives up to its name!"
