Chapter 21 - The Distribution of Power in Crisis

　It was already the end of spring, however, speaking of which, there didn't seem to be any real spring in the Demon Realm. The wind that blew through carried a hint of warmth. The twin moons in the sky were even more persistent than the previous months. It was like the twin moons refused to leave.

　　In Darkmoon City, it was still as tranquil as ever. Ever since that team was sent out, all the forces were waiting for news. Of course, the news that each waited for was still a little different. Especially in the palace, these days, Xi Ya was always frowning her eyebrows, which were like a curved moon. On her absolutely beautiful face, even more frost covered it. It seemed that she would have a seizure at any time and become a blizzard in general.

　　As Irene looked at the sullen Xiya, her originally charming eyes carried some intolerance, ''Sister, don't worry! With a smart head like Lin Peng's, along with Lundy and Nadas, absolutely nothing will happen to them!'

　　Xiya's unearthly countenance eased slightly, but, there wasn't the slightest hint of a smile. Nodding her head slightly, she turned to Angelina. This little girl, since Lin Peng had gone out, had literally not said a single word.

　　The silence was immediately broken by a knock on the door, and Angelina opened the door as fast as she could. The one who entered the dining room was a soldier wearing a uniform. Firstly, he saluted at Xiya and Ayrin, and then, in a loud voice, he reported the situation, 'Reporting to Lord Duke, Lord Lin Peng is already waiting at the entrance of the palace!'

　　The concise and clear words made all three women smile. And at this moment, the soldier was dumbfounded. On that white, sheep-like skin, the delicate bridge of the nose, the curved moon-like eyebrows, the small to just the right size vermilion lips, the whole together, a face that simply could not be described in words, actually revealed a smile.

　　And the other, flowing hair bun, light willow eyebrows, high nose bridge plus the pair of charming eyes that can talk like, the devil world absolute colour ah. I never thought that such a charming side would be shown to me.

　　Under the smiles of the two absolute beauties, the soldier simply forgot everything. However, in the next second, in the sound of a delicate voice, the soldier's back was all surrounded by cold sweat.

　　'After reporting, what are you still standing here for?' Once again, Xiya returned to that cold expression, and the soldier hurriedly gave a military salute before slowly closing the door and exiting.

　　'Then, sister, it's better for us to go greet it! Heh heh heh ...' Covering her mouth and laughing lightly, Erin pulled the small hand of the excited Angelina and directly walked out of this huge door.

　　At the entrance of the palace, Lin Peng leaned against the carriage, while Nadas and Ray were both standing straight.

　　'What the hell, why haven't they greeted us yet.' Lin Peng muttered in a low voice, causing the few soldiers standing guard at the entrance as well as the two Nadas to almost want to go crazy.

　　Who do you think you are ... the prince of that country, or a Demon God. How dare you want Lord Duke and Lord Princess to personally come to greet you?

　　However, the next moment, once again, the crowd was in a daze. Unexpectedly, the heavy palace door slowly opened, and inside stood, none other than Lord Duke and Her Highness the Princess. Originally, Nadas, who had been insisting on entering directly to greet Lord Duke and Her Royal Highness, was even looking at Lin Peng with some envy.

　　'Welcome, return!' Irene said in a soft voice with a hint of joy. However, when the three women saw the carriage, they all reacted a little.

　　Lin Peng laughed and first bowed, then began to speak, 'Fortunately, not only did I complete the mission this time, but I also got the loot!' Saying that, he pointed to the carriage behind him.

　　Xiya was the fastest to react, nodding her head, 'En... then ... come in first and talk!'

　　After Lin Peng smiled and nodded, he said to the fiery giant horse in front of the carriage, 'Brothers, let's go in!' With that, several people, along with the carriage, entered the gate that could travel four or two huge carriages at the same time.

　　The carriage stopped directly outside of the Imperial Garden, which was still quite endowed with a sense of spring at this time. Everywhere is full of flowers early, although it can not be said, compared to that flame giant s palace, but ... in the dark moon city at least is also the top three.

　　It is said that Jace's mansion is the best in the entire Dark Moon City.

　　Sitting on the stone bench, the hand gently stroked the extended flowers, the heart of a loose seems to even the mood has become particularly good up: 'Or Dark Moon City is good ah, hey ... in the abyss, simply is not a person to stay in the place!'

　Nadas and Ray both nodded, and then, in a whirl, shook their heads helplessly.

　　'By the way, where's Lundy?' Xiya's willow brows frowned lightly as she faintly asked.

　　At this moment, only to find out that Lundy wasn't there, Lin Peng was a little flattered. At least, it could prove that he was more important in her heart than Lundy should be, right? Being thought of by such a peerless beauty was definitely one of life's great pleasures now.

　　However, things still needed to be said. Narrowing his eyes, he said with some chills, ''He is a traitor, en... how to say it! I should say that from the time he came to Darkmoon City, he has always been Jace's person. Oh ... so ... we directly put him on the ground! Now well ... you can only find him by looking for the God of the Underworld!'

　　Xiya and Erin glanced at each other, both somewhat confused. Of course, Lin Peng understood when he looked at them. With a slight nod, he began to narrate the situation with the two princesses.

　　It was only after a long time, when Lin Peng had finished, that the two people realised that the set-up they had been setting up all along was simply silly in the eyes of others. The most detestable thing was that all along, because of knowing their plans, truth be told, they were simply being pressed by them.

　　And at this time, Shiya also remembered that at that time, before Lin Peng went to the abyss, he had once said that their spies were really everywhere.

　　'Then now ... what should we do!' Xiya asked directly, without any unnecessary nonsense. At the same time, looking at Lin Peng, Nadas, and Lei, the three of them were similarly tinged with doubt.

　　What should we do in case ... the three of them, are also that kind of spies?

　　Ayrin, on the other hand, glared angrily at Lin Peng's trio and turned to ponder.

　　'I want to know where we are now. As well as ... all the forces of the Dark Empire, including yours!' Lin Peng was all of a sudden, serious. Those deep black eyes were flashing with wisdom at this moment.

　　Arriving here, it had already been two months, and at the same time ... it was also the time when he needed to choose!

　　The two of them, Shiya and Ayrin, looked at each other and laughed bitterly in succession. With his wisdom, he should also have understood that although his own forces had barely retained their current position. But it was only preserved, it was simply being pressed.

　　Perhaps, it was time for a real showdown. Otherwise ... even the smartest person might not be able to find the best way. At the same time, one could not sort out the most effective ploy.

　　'The current king of the Dark Empire, His Majesty, is my father. At the same time ... it is also Sister Xiya's uncle. Oh ... to say the least, it's really ironic. The current His Majesty, surprisingly, doesn't have much power either, and only gets a very small portion of real power. Generally speaking, big things and such, still have to go through the Chancellor's consent. En... ever since the era of the Dark Emperor had passed, it had always been the Chancellor who was in charge. And shaped like Darkmoon City, three into a tripartite force. Chancellor Kulabrans for one faction, Great General Casey Halladay for one faction, of course, this faction is our people. And the other faction, is the royal power centred Irene this faction ...'

　　The more he said, the more alarmed Lin Peng's heart became, unexpectedly, Chancellor Kula had already reached such a power. It had to be the two factions united to truly be on par with him. Similarly, it is surprising that it is still suppressed.

　　Otherwise ... perhaps the faction of imperial power, has long since perished. And from the current Dark Emperor Caron Lucifer, if it wasn't for the fact that he directly ascended to the throne that year, perhaps the imperial power has been abolished by the Chancellor.

　　The Great General, on the other hand, was the agent of the last generation of imperial power, and was the true imperial power's champion faction. And now the imperial power faction, but also just when Xiya's uncle, Irene's father pulled together.

　　It is just that the original ascendant to the throne was Shea, and now ... it has become Caron!

　　Listening to that somewhat fearful and shocking showdown, Lin Peng rubbed his chin with two fingers and entered into deep thought. From this, it could be seen that the original three dukes of the empire were directly divided into two factions, while only one faction was Xiya's people. The two outside two factions were basically the Chancellor's men now.

　　And that duke was only a military general, a great general! As the Chancellor, he could use the other alliances to get him to guard the borders of the Moon Demon Realm. This way, it was almost as if the chancellor was the only one.

　　The current power, on the other hand, was just that current Dark Emperor as well as Shiya and the others circling around. And because of the fear of the great general s backlash, so ... Chancellor Kula and them, they can t do too much just.

　The Moon Demon Realm, is now the most powerful empire in the Demon Realm. Saying that it was the Moon Demon Realm was, in fact, just the name given to them from the outside. The real name is the Moon Demon Empire!

　　The Moon Demon Realm's Moon Demon Emperor was very powerful, and in terms of single person strength, the Chancellor was no match for him. It should be said that the current Dark Emperor was the most vulnerable nation. The other empire, Dark Shadow, was all much more powerful than Darkness.

　　However, it had also become a triangular situation for the Dark Empire in general. The Moon Demon Realm didn't dare to attack Darkness, and at the same time, Dark Shadow was also resisting in alliance with Darkness.

　　Index finger tightly pinched his temples, Lin Peng pursed his lips and twisted his neck, 'En... it seems that this Dark Moon City is a small battlefield between you and Chancellor Kula. Oh ... and those two clans, they are the local groundlings. Only by pulling them together can we truly win. En ... But ... why haven t you guys thought about it. Why ... can't we support the local forces?'

　　A sentence that directly made Xiya and Erin's eyes light up. Yes, with the current situation in Darkmoon City, even if they were to cultivate a force on their own, it would basically be no problem.

　　'But, now that Jace and the others have stabilised. It's simply ... impossible to intervene!' Erin's charming willow leaf eyebrows slightly knitted up, and her small delicate nose also slightly wrinkled.

　　'En... how to say it, if, what we use, is that kind of dark force. For example, what kind of small rogues form a big gang, or, those rangers form, a kind of armed organisation! Other, such a force, is also very powerful.' Lin Peng paused for a moment, then turned to heave a smile, 'And ... the Furen family and the other Chris family, it's time to shuffle the cards. By the way, this one, is the Chris family's Ray ... Of course, he's not actually considered a Chris family. He ... might be able to help us!'
