Chapter 179 Surrender without a fight, organization behind enemy lines

    at the same time.

    Northern continent, another medium-sized kingdom, the Kingdom of Pal.

    The capital, in 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 Akana Kingdom 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.

    Without any warning.

    How can this not scare them?

    "Aren''t we usually pretty talkative? Why didn''t anyone say anything today? Whether it''s war or surrender, we have to come up with a result. Otherwise, when Yongye''s army comes over in a few days, we won''t even be able to do anything. I know." The old king sitting above looked at the core ministers below with some dissatisfaction on his face. Normally, these guys are not so taciturn. They would often quarrel for ten days and a half over trivial matters.

    ?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, or great lords who are the lords of a land, or heads of large families. In the Kingdom of Pal, they are big figures who can shake the entire kingdom with just a stomp of their feet.

    They are eloquent, and if they are normal, there will be no problem if they can 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 conflict of opinion, 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 friend" next to them, everyone was secretly cursing.

    ?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 doing?”

    “Gulu…”

    “It’s a barrier again, shouldn’t it be...”

    In an instant, everyone below was panicked. After all, they still knew the destruction process of the Yacana 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, took out a dark statue several meters high from the space ring, and placed it directly Put it in front of you.

    The old king prayed devoutly: "Praise the King of Eternal Night."

    The statue flashed with black light, and in an instant, a black vortex formed, and a figure walked out of it. It was 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 Cult? Why did he take refuge in..."

    “It’s over, let me ask you why your majesty summoned us urgently even though he knew the fate of the Kingdom of Arkana. It turns out that he had surrendered to the Eternal Night God Cult a long time ago. He wants to catch us all in one fell swoop!”

    ?Looking at the strong man in black robe who came out, the ministers below were shocked, and felt chills in their hearts.

    Some smart guys are even more cautious and 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’ve 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. Moreover, he is not an ordinary ninth level. He is a strong person among the ninth level.

    He has a very high status in the Eternal Night Cult.

    Facing the greetings from King Pal, he just nodded slightly and said calmly: "You continue..." After that, he stood aside and looked at the people below with indifferent eyes, which put great pressure on them.

    ?It is obvious that 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 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 slightly narrowed, and a smile on his face.

    As to what his opinion was, it was 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 Pal did not give them much time to think, and quickly urged: "Now it is your turn to make a choice. As for the conditions for surrender, I believe you have already understood it, so I will not waste my time. Say it again."

    ?Everyone was silent and looked at their companions, all of them angrily cursing the old king for his unkindness.

    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 happening 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, his staff appeared, and dark elements surged, and he was about 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 is 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 going to take action, a minister couldn''t help it and hurriedly surrendered.

    “I am also willing to surrender…”

    ?After a while, the ministers present all spoke out and surrendered. Most of the resistance faction, faced with this clear situation, had no choice but to surrender despite their reluctance.

    Even the king surrendered, what else could they do?

    Vote against the bill at this time, and it has no other effect except risking your own life.

    Seeing this, the Yongye God 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 and allowed the black stream of light to hit them. .

    The light was fleeting and integrated into their bodies, but they did not show any symptoms. They were as calm as if they had taken a sip of water.

    Several magicians who have 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.

    The sea of ??spiritual consciousness involves the foundation of life, and can be said to be more important than the heart.

    For powerful extraordinary beings, 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.

    At the moment, there is suddenly an additional mark in their spiritual consciousness. How can they not panic?

    ?Some people even speculated that this mark was not used to control them and make them obedient.

    "Don''t worry, this is a dark mark. It has no lethality. It will not disturb you on weekdays. You can even use it to penetrate into the origin of darkness and understand the power of darkness. After all, it contains a trace of our Lord''s power. Divine power. But even just a little bit is enough for us 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. ”

    “Don’t dare.”

    ??Everyone who had just surrendered felt chilled in their hearts when they heard this, and they quickly did not dare to speak out.

    There is no damage, but there are coordinates.

    ?Everyone knows its meaning. This dark mark will not directly kill them, but if the Eternal Night Cult masters the coordinates, it will actually be no different than 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 person 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 dark whirlpool without looking back, and his figure disappeared in the whirlpool. It also dissipated.

    “Please rest assured, envoy, I will definitely take care of it and send the envoy off respectfully.” King Pal nodded repeatedly and watched the black-robed envoy leave.

    After the envoy of the gods had completely left, a minister complained bitterly:

    “Your Majesty, you are not doing this right! You sold the kingdom without even saying a word to us.”

    …

    Regions far away from the Kingdom of Pal.

    A secret stronghold.

    This is one of the largest strongholds of the Eternal Night Cult in the Northern Continent.

    “How is it?” Looking at the returning black-robed divine envoy, someone asked.

    "It''s done. The Kingdom of Pal has surrendered. Just send someone to receive it." The black-robed envoy who completed the task replied with a smile.

    “Agree so easily?” Another person was a little disappointed, “It’s a pity, I still thought that if we fight this time, I can get a few more high-level extraordinary undead.”

    "Haha, why don''t you 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." The person next to him is not impossible. The companion laughed.

    “That’s right, that’s right, we don’t lack undead commanders. If you really want it, apply for it. There are a lot of undead commanders on the other side of the river of the dead, and 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..."

    "Well, stop complaining. If there were no restrictions, do you think we would still need to come here? Those who kill fetuses can kill all the northern countries by themselves."

    “Now that the Par Kingdom has been solved, it’s time to move on to the next goal.”

    ??The overall strength of the Evernight 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 Evernight 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, and they are just a group of barbarians"...

    It has to 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. Under such an environment, it is natural for the Kingdom to say whatever it says.

    ?Having heard too much propaganda, coupled with the kingdom''s timely relaxation of policies, the people of the kingdom have a bad impression of the Evernight 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".

    ?Taking the Eternal Night Sect as an example, unlike the empty shell of the Sect that only had a name back then, the current Eternal Night Sect has been completely perfected and has spawned multiple departments with authority.

    The House of Elders, Tribunal, Knights, etc.

    Based on the origin of darkness, many believers have understood various strange abilities, and various extraordinary professions have emerged, such as the shadow assassin who hides in the darkness and is very suitable for assassination, and the curse mage who kills invisible people thousands of miles away, causing death. Death Mage of Spiritual Frenzy…

    Under the leadership of the Eternal Night Cult, many organizations were unified and many large and small groups were formed in the northern continent. They destroyed the kingdom from all aspects.

    ??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 are very stealthy and can run very fast if they can''t be beaten.

    ??The destruction of the Kingdom of Arkana and the surrender of the Kingdom of Pal 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 Evernight Empire''s road to conquest would never be as simple as it is now.
