ps: I changed part of the content of the previous chapter and suppressed the Devil's Grand Duke. It should be the Star River Plaza to suppress the Devil's Grand Duke. If you are interested, you can re-read it.

After a teleportation light, Jose returned to the upside-down magic tower under Oka City. Everything he saw was so familiar, and even the air smelled familiar.

For a moment, he felt the smell of home that he had not been missing for a long time, just like a wanderer who had been wandering back to his hometown, and the whole dragon relaxed.

But then again, this trip to the abyss didn't take too long, but he also experienced life and death several times. When he returned to his own territory, Honglong did feel very relaxed.

Taling's voice rang out in time: "Welcome back, respected master."

"Well," Jose was in a happy mood and directly teleported to his private living area, sat on his own exclusive throne, and summoned Ergou through the spiritual link.

It is not time to rest. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no situation when he left such a big stall as the Forse Empire for a year and a half. He wants to learn about the situation of the empire and the situation on the mainland from Ergou.

After receiving the message from the Red Dragon, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Ergou, appeared in front of the Red Dragon almost immediately.

When he saw the Red Dragon, Ergou was a little excited, but he quickly sorted out his mood and bowed: "Your Majesty!"

After Jose appeared, he kept observing him and found that the kobold had made obvious progress compared to before leaving. He was satisfied: "Yes, you did not take a laziness in the days when I left."

"Ergou follows His Majesty's teachings and practices every day, and does not dare to slack off, nor does he want to slack off."

Jose couldn't help but nodded: "I'm very pleased that you can think so."

Red Dragon then asked, "Did there be anything important in the empire during the day I left?"

"Go back to your Majesty, some."

Ergou said seriously: "Half a year ago, the territory of the Red Nest's mother suffered a natural disaster, and the grain output dropped sharply. He suddenly attacked the empire, and the Red Nest's army approached the empire's border."

Jose's heart tightened and stood up straight: "What's the situation now?"

“It’s solved now.”

"Oh? It's solved?" Honglong was very interested: "Tell me, how did you solve it?"

“It’s very simple.”

Ergou had a hint of pride on his face: "The reason why the Red Nest Miss Mother was in a large army was because the grain output in the territory was sharply reduced and he could not support the Red Nest Army. The people were angry, and our Wusai Empire was rich. Therefore, the Red Nest Miss Mother was trying to plunder food, and at least he had to achieve the goal of reducing the population."

"Your Majesty, you are not here, and I dare not start a war with the Red Nest rashly, so I thought of a way to divert the attention of the Red Nest mistress."

Jose supported his side face with one hand and listened to Ergou's story about the incident.

"After receiving the news that the Red Nest Army was approaching, I summoned the senior officials of the empire for discussion, and finally decided to successfully divert the attention of the Red Nest mistress by attacking the Southern Alliance and transfer the main force of the Red Nest to the southern battlefield."

"Attack the Southern Alliance?"

"Yes, we have discussed clearly. At this moment, the Southern Alliance was not ready for a full-scale war and would never dare to go to war with the Empire. And the incident happened suddenly, and the Empire took advantage at the beginning of the war."

Ergou continued: "The mother of the Red Nest cannot understand the empire's strategic intentions and dare not start a war rashly. She followed the flow and transferred the army to the southern battlefield and beat the dogs in the water. We also found the right time to withdraw the large army from the battlefield and let the Red Nest and the Southern Alliance dogs bite the dogs..."

Jose frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed.

The situation in the TEDA Nol continent is in a three-legged state, and the Forse Empire and the southern forces are just using each other. Although Ergou's method is suspected of being a dangerous move, the result is good.

“How is the battle result?”

"No one has taken advantage of it. An elite legion of the Southern Alliance was crippled. A large amount of cannon fodder died in Hongniao, and a lot of food was missing. In addition, he had harvested a lot of 'food' on the battlefield. He was able to survive the natural disasters and famine, so he withdrew his troops."

“…”

After learning about some major events on the mainland, Jose sent Ergou away and then fell into deep thought.

Dangdangdang~.

The knuckles gently tapped the gilded table beside them, and Honglong's thoughts were flying in his mind, thinking about the Red Nest's mistress's consumption of the empire's population.

Although the direct cause of this battle was that natural disasters caused food production to be reduced, judging from the fact that the Red Nest mistress regarded the empire as the first goal, in her heart, she still had the idea of ​​resolutely defending the outside world.

Just so happened that Jose thought the same way.

The three forces with three stadiums: the Fusai Empire, the Red Challenge, the Southern Alliance, and the Southern Alliance are still in the south. They are building defense lines in the north, with the purpose of occupying the enemy outside the country's gates. The Fusai Empire and the Red Challenge are both in the north, and they are evil neighbors that cannot be moved away.

Sitting beside the bed, letting others sleep soundly, is just because they are not strong enough to swallow their evil neighbors.

In the past, the Red Nest mistress dominated the world, and the Red Nest had the advantage in strength and took the initiative in the offensive.

As Jose's strength increased, the balance of strength has been tilted, in a direction that is beneficial to the Forse Empire.

After obtaining the inheritance of the Hashley Emperor and obtaining the profession information of [Emperor of Yan], Honglong understood that after taking up the position of [Emperor of Yan], the strength comparison between himself and the Red Nest mistress will usher in a subversive reversal.

"It's time to think of a way," Jose murmured to himself.

After thinking for a long time, he had a rough plan.

However, now is not the time to implement the plan. [The Emperor of Yan] cannot be able to take office overnight. It also requires collecting a large amount of precious magic materials to hold magic rituals.

In addition, the trip to the abyss had just ended, and the Red Dragon was exhausted at this time. Even if he was anxious to take up the position of [Emperor of Yan], he had to wait until he had a rest.

hold head high!

Jose teleported to the outside world, showing his face in front of the people, intimidating the slut.

[The Emperor of Flame] Most of the magic materials required are very precious, and there are many types, which require 324 different magic materials. The earlier the magic ritual materials are collected, the better.

Red Dragon contacted his Githyanki allies and asked the Queen of the Roamer to help collect various magic materials needed for the magic ceremony of [The Emperor of Flame].

Of course, it is impossible for him to put all his hopes on his allies.

Jose mobilized the power of the empire and mobilized the whole country to serve himself. He also held a high-level imperial meeting and sent people to guard the major cities in the astral world to search for magic materials needed for the ceremony.

In addition, some of the materials required for magic rituals are only available in the abyss.

Before returning, Jose ordered the Lingjiaxing and the Six-Armed Snake Demon servant to collect this part with all his strength.

The two have a clear division of labor, and Ling Jiaxing sits in the camp and acquires it from adventurers from all walks of life.

The six-armed snake demon fully utilizes the role of the demon's identity, wanders across various abyss planes, and goes to a crowd of demons, rarely visited places to find the magic materials needed for his master.

This is the benefit of having a powerful empire, and it can use the power of the state machine to serve itself. Otherwise, the Red Dragon itself would not know that the number of magic materials can be collected in full by relying on the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

After explaining to each department, Jose came to the bottom of the magic tower and fell into a deep sleep with peace of mind.

After experiencing life and death several times in the Abyss, many wars broke out, and he was always nervous and he was already very tired.

When I woke up, it was three months later.

After waking up, Jose immediately learned about the progress of collecting materials needed for the inauguration [Emperor of Flame]. More than 260 kinds of magic materials have been collected.

If he continues at this progress, he can start working as [Emperor of Yan] at a short time, as short as half a year or as long as two years.

During the days of waiting, the Red Dragon was not idle either. He worked hard to digest the inheritance of the emperor, learn the knowledge in the inheritance, and integrate the fighting skills and magic spells in the inheritance.

Every day, he can feel his progress and actively digest the inheritance of the emperor.

…………………………………………

One year later.

Modo Peak Forest, Top of Oka City, Red Fort, Throne Hall.

Jose sat high above the throne, bathed in the morning light sprinkled over his head, sitting upright and looking at the hall of the throne.

However, there was no one in the Throne Hall.

Of course, the Red Dragon will not waste time at will. He is waiting for someone, and this person will send the last three magic materials needed to take office as the Emperor of Flame.

When I thought of the materials needed to take up the job [The Emperor of Yan], I finally got all the materials, even with Jose's cultivation, I couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.

Suddenly, a blood-colored energy appeared in the throne hall, and the blood-colored energy quickly formed an unknown portal, falling, and a violent aura emanated from the portal.

A six-armed snake demon came across the border. The six-armed snake demon was tall and one floor tall. He wore a pair of golden rings, silver rings, and guards on his six arms. Four scimitars formed a fan-shaped back behind his back. There were also scimitars hanging on both sides of his waist. He also wore magic rings on his hands, which were armed to his teeth.

The visitor was the Red Dragon's six-armed snake demon servant - Bi Ansha!

The red dragon returned from the abyss and did not bring back the six-armed snake demon, but left it in the abyss, allowing it to develop its power among the demons, cooperate with the Lingjiao, and take the multiverse coalition and the demons.

The rough meaning is that Lingjiaxing sells information about the hostile adventurer to the six-armed snake demon, who organizes human hands and arranges traps to surround and kill.

The six-armed snake demon also sold information about the hostile demon to Lingjiaxing, who, by himself, or by using the hands of adventurers to clear obstacles for the Six-armed Snake Demon.

As they came and went, the six-armed snake demon and the diamond ape both made huge profits.

Jose glanced at the magic rings full of the six-armed snake demon's hands. Judging from the equipment on the six-armed snake demon's hands, the cooperation between Lingjiaxing and the six-armed snake demon was very smooth. Now the six-armed snake demon is already a rich woman.

Even though it is different now, Bi Ansha dared not be presumptuous in front of the Red Dragon. She learned civilized etiquette, crossed her six arms in front of her chest, and bowed.

"Great Master, your humble servant, sends you sincere greetings, and I bring you Lord Francis."

Jose straight to the point: "Where is the thing I want?"

"Here," the six-armed snake demon took out three boxes from the dimension bag, opened two of them, and showed them to the Red Dragon.

The first box contained a beating heart. The heart was black red, and the black blood vessels were distributed like spider webs. A hot flame smell emanated.

This is the heart of a Barolo Flame Demon.

The heart of the Barol Flame Demon on mobile phone is not easy. The Barol Flame Demon is an advanced demon and is the best among the legendary demons. Not to mention its strength at the moment. Once it dies, the Barol Flame Demon's talented magic - [Body Burning] will be triggered immediately, and the body of the Barol Flame Demon is shattered from the inside out.

To collect the heart of the Barol Flame Demon, you must suppress the Barol Flame Demon with absolute strength, so that he cannot even self-destruct, and then collect the heart alive.

"For the sake of this Barolo Flame Demon's heart, Lord Franci ran around three abyss planes, hunted five Barolo Flame Demons, and finally succeeded in the last Barolo Flame Demon."

"Very good, I'm very satisfied," Jose nodded.
