"You weren't supposed to be at the front lines? Could it be that the domestic riots are even more serious, to the point where you had to go suppress them? You're really busy…
"Why not learn from me? Be a lackey under the dog emperor, doing easy and fun bad deeds every day." Romier said with a smile.
Lei Yin was expressionless, unable to discern his mood: "Sister is dead."
"Huh?" Romier was taken aback.
Lei Yin said in a low voice: "My sister is dead, failed to break through to the God Realm… Amon no longer needs the Tudor Empire, he said I can take it if I want."
Romier went from lying down to sitting up, leaning forward, his expression becoming serious and solemn:
"My condolences… What about the Captain? What did he go to do?"
"I don't know… His plans never allowed us to see the full picture. He told me to seize the Tudor Empire, or return to the Northern Lands and live in seclusion…" Lei Yin responded.
"There's a feeling that a storm is brewing, these past few years of war are probably just a prelude to something." Romier sighed.
After a moment of silence, he continued: "What do you plan to do? Looking at you, you don't seem like you want to return to the Northern Lands and live in seclusion, right?"
"Yeah, I will become the new emperor of the Tudor Empire, but I need your support. I'm not good at internal affairs, even if it's a bit chaotic, it's better than order controlled by others." Lei Yin stared at Romier.
Romier smiled, his eyes deep: "Heh, the chaos is because the Captain needs chaos. If you want order, I can give you order too.
"Of course, the area I can guarantee won't be too large. Maybe you can invite Bi Da'er and Ilya over, they are better at it.
"Also, what about that fatty in the city? He should also be considered the Captain, right?"
Lei Yin thought for a moment, tentatively saying: "How about… killing him? Amon said that it would be better if I actively seize the throne, rather than him directly abdicating to me… If that fatty is still there, it means he deliberately left himself as… a sacrifice."
Romier "hey"ed, "I've long been displeased with that fatty, he's simply tarnishing the Captain's brilliant image!"
He waved his hand at the opera troupe and the maid corps: "You guys go down, it's better not to listen to some things."
The opera troupe members and white-haired maids, who had long wished they could plug their ears, were all pardoned. Only Gu Yuena felt a little regretful that she couldn't hear more information.
Just then, Romier said: "Miss Gu Yue, please stay for a moment… Your identity shouldn't be simple, right? Coming to apply as a maid, don't have any ulterior motives."
Romier's words almost made Gu Yuena explode. She darkened her face and said in a low voice: "When did you find out?"
"Just now… I was just bluffing you, I didn't expect you to admit it like that." Romier spread his hands, a playful smile on his face.
Gu Yuena's face stiffened, then turned gloomy: "You're playing me?"
Romier raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay, okay, it's my fault… Actually, the previous sentence was the bluff. You've been so obvious all along, how could I not notice?"
Gu Yuena: "..."
Her fist, hardened.
She had the urge to directly pull out the Silver Dragon Spear and give this guy a taste.
"I guess, are you some noble lady whose family was destroyed by that dog emperor, and you want to take revenge by secretly infiltrating? Wait, your target isn't me, is it?" Romier looked terrified.
Gu Yuena's face calmed down, and she said in a somewhat deep and gloomy tone:
"My home was indeed destroyed by him, and my family died because of him."
"Very good, let's go kill the dog emperor together. Lei Yin ascends the throne, treading on the corpse of the old king, you avenge your family, and I continue to be a corrupt official who fleeces the people. We all have a bright future!" Romier said excitedly.
Gu Yuena asked: "What's the difference between the dog emperor and the Captain you mentioned?"
"The dog emperor is just a puppet, or an avatar. In short, the Captain is the Captain, and the dog emperor is the dog emperor, he's just a dead, fat waste!" Romier answered without hesitation.
As expected, the one in the city is just an avatar… But following these two people should give me more information… That guy named Amon makes me even more uneasy than the gods…
Thinking this, Gu Yuena nodded: "Okay, let's go together, when will we act?"
Romier looked at her in surprise: "What? You really want to assassinate His Majesty? I'm a loyal subject, I only said that to test if you had any rebellious intentions, I'm going to report it."
Gu Yuena took a deep breath, looking at Romier coldly, killing intent surging.
Lei Yin also looked at him with deep eyes, lightning seemed to be wandering in his eyes.
"Uh, what I just said was a joke… Pick a time to act." Romier's mouth twitched, and he changed his mind decisively.
"I'll do it. Romier, remember to publicize that I overthrew the tyranny of the 'Blood Emperor' and established the Tudor Second Empire." Lei Yin said in a deep voice.
Romier patted his chest to guarantee: "Don't worry, propaganda, I'm best at this."
...
Due to the loss of command, the Tudor Empire's army collapsed like a mountain, and the long front line completely collapsed in just a few days.
The Spirit Empire's army advanced layer by layer, recovering a large amount of territory, restoring the national border to before the Soul Beast War, before the Heaven Dou Empire ceded territory to the Star Luo Empire.
The supreme commander of the battlefield, "Pope" Bibi Dong, also gained the support and endorsement of the army and the people.
However, the Spirit Empire did not continue to advance after recovering the lost territory, because Bibi Dong was unsure of Amon's attitude, and also unsure of what state Amon was in now.
Moreover, according to this trend, she would soon be able to obtain enough faith, and there was no need to create unnecessary complications.
Lei Yin and Romier's actions did not proceed immediately. The emperor of the Tudor Empire was still Amon, but due to the defeat in the war and the pain brought by years of war, rebellions began to appear in various parts of the Tudor Empire, and several large nobles announced their secession from the rule of the "Blood Emperor".
War brought hunger, poverty, chaos, and even more suffocating oppression. Countless people cursed the "Blood Emperor", hated him, loathed him, and hoped that someone could overthrow his rule.
In the darkness, people always look forward to the light.
And that light that penetrates layers of darkness and brings hope will surely be praised by the world.
"So, Lei Yin… you should also come and shatter my darkness, and use your thunder to illuminate this country, right? I hope you won't be like some idiot."
In the Tudor Empire's palace, the chubby Amon very calmly accepted his fate as a sacrifice. He pinched his monocle and muttered with a smile:
"Well, this is probably the price of being a foolish and pleasure-seeking emperor."
...
In a certain basement, there was no trace of light, and deep darkness enveloped everything.
Suddenly, a sizzling sound rang out, followed by dazzling lightning. Blue and white electric snakes constantly roamed, and the dark blue light illuminated the darkness.
Lei Yin stood up, thunder jumping in his eyes. He refined the last three soul bones Amon gave him, and his level came to level 90. Of course, this was not his limit, but he was limited due to the lack of soul rings.
Because he had improved too much at once, he couldn't control his surging soul power. The Agitation current pierced the basement, and his body moved to the ground with the current.
"It seems you've gained a lot, I envy you two… being able to be cultivated by the Captain with all his strength." Romier said with some sourness.
Lei Yin remained noncommittal and replied, "But there is also a price to pay. Sister has already demonstrated it. Even so, are you still envious?"
Romier shook his head decisively: "Then forget it, I still want to live longer. Don't look for me for things that are too dangerous. I'll be satisfied if I can reach the Title Douluo level and enjoy some more time."
"Didn't Amon give you a set of 50,000-year-old soul bones? Title Douluo shouldn't be difficult… The soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are gone, is there any place you recommend? I need a soul ring, preferably over 400,000 years old." Lei Yin asked.
Romier "hissed", "Being with you guys for a long time makes me doubt my worldview. How can you just open your mouth and want to hunt such big guys…
"Maybe you can try your luck in the sea. This world is very big. In addition to the land, there is also the ocean… And many of the soul beasts in the sea have attributes related to water, thunder, and wind, maybe you can meet them."
Lei Yin pondered for a moment: "In the sea… Give me the information about 'Seagod Island'."
"I'll go find it and bring it to you later."
Gu Yuena looked at Lei Yin, whose soul power was surging, and judged his current level from the fluctuations of his soul power, her eyes darkened.
This means that another soul beast of no small age is about to be harmed. Even though she had only commanded the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and had little contact with other places, they were still soul beasts.
Although she was still recovering from her injuries, she always had the idea of leading the soul beasts to rise and counterattack humans. Therefore, all human heroes are her potential enemies.
Gu Yuena suddenly had the idea of strangling Lei Yin now, but she quickly dismissed it.
She glanced at the sky with some trepidation. The mental network covering the entire Night Capital had not dissipated.
A small impatience will ruin a big plan. The most important thing is to use the two of them to find out some of Amon's details… Thinking this, Gu Yuena restrained the killing intent in her eyes.
Lei Yin glanced at her and ignored her.
He didn't know Gu Yuena's true identity, but he guessed from some details that Romier knew something.
Romier was very afraid, even faintly fearful of this white-haired girl!
Although he was a little curious, he suppressed his desire to know. There was no need to rush to find the truth, it would be revealed sooner or later.
Lei Yin's body suddenly turned into lightning and swept towards the outside of the city. He needed a more open space to adapt to his skyrocketing soul power.
