Whether it is the Holy See or the government, all armed forces must not leave their posts without permission.

An absolute decree issued by the Emperor of the Empire and the Pope of the Holy See.

In fact, in most of the past, this kind of order was extremely common. It can even be said that the army cannot leave its post without permission. This is understandable.

But suddenly, this order came from the mouth of the supreme commander of the human empire, and violators would be regarded as betraying the empire, so this order had a very strange meaning.

People didn't understand why they had to emphasize a discipline that no one would violate in the first place. The soldiers of the empire would never leave their posts without permission.

Of course, at this moment, these people have not received the news. They do not know that the darkness above the Holy Light Temple has swallowed up a large area of ​​the mountains, and they do not know that an old man is crossing the mountains and the sea on foot. Divide a planet and head straight into the darkness.

There are endless secrets under the Holy Light, and there is too much hidden information in human society.

However, a crack in the void that stretches for nearly a hundred miles cannot be hidden no matter how hard it is hidden. He is in the sky, and people standing at the foot of Mount Erbes can see it as long as they look up.

Therefore, this terrifying vision was already known to people throughout the empire by nightfall.

In the same way, the old man galloping on the surface of the planet could not go unnoticed. The roar of his feet spread like an earthquake. The fishermen on the coast saw huge waves pouring back in the distance, and the forest was split open. A horizontal tornado rose in the valley, flying sand and rocks, covering the sky and the sun.

A new gate to hell has appeared!

Lord Dante is on his way!

The extremely frightening news spread throughout the empire at an incredible speed. People were still wondering how to live in the better days in the future this morning, but as the sun set, they were enveloped in unprecedented fear.

What exactly is going on?

Aren't the gates of hell closed?

Why does it reappear?

Is humanity going to be in crisis again?

Will the devil return to the world again?

It’s hard to imagine what kind of horrific impact it would have when this idea appeared in the minds of 90% of the people in the empire at the same time. People ran into the streets and alleys, running aimlessly, bumping into each other in panic, wailing, and kneeling. People were trembling on the edge of the building, praying with pendants symbolizing faith in their hands, shouting, and cursing. Some even thought that the Great Expedition for so many years was a scam, or that the government knew that the devil would not be exterminated, so it used the expedition to Collect money wantonly and build life-saving bunkers for nobles and officials.

Human beings are like this, humble, weak, and suspicious. They praise things that can bring them happiness, but they can also forget all their previous praises in an instant.

Fortunately. Fortunately, humans still have Lord Dante. Humans also have the most powerful coalition forces in history!

Lord Dante is rushing towards the new gate of hell! The human coalition forces should also be gathering!

This world will be saved once again!

The third demonic invasion will be contained just like before!

People think this way and can only expect this. Anyway, Lord Dante has once again become the hope of mankind, and the trust in the army still remains in people's hearts.

But it seems that people have subconsciously forgotten that Lord Dante is too old.

As for the human army, no one may believe it. Even the human army itself can’t believe it now.

Damn it, I was ordered to stay where I am, no one can leave without permission!

"Damn it, why are you on standby!" In the headquarters of a certain military region, a military general slammed the microphone in his hand on the wall, and it immediately fell into pieces. The commander, who was always known for his calmness, was thrown off He took off his military uniform, paced back and forth in the headquarters office, and even started to pull his hair with a grin on his face.

The political area where he was stationed was very close to the Elbes Mountains. If he raised his head, he could even see the black crack hanging in the sky in the distance. If he chose to march quickly, he could get there in just half a day.

but!

But he actually held a lot of war weapons in his hands, and he could only hide them in the camp.

"Report! According to the aerial reconnaissance information from the Timar Military Region, Lord Dante has landed on the coastline and is expected to reach the Elbes Mountains within 5 hours!"

The cigarette in the commander's hand was about to burn out, and the scarlet fire was close to his fingertips, but he had no time to feel the burning pain!

Lord Dante rushed over alone. A new gate to hell has opened. As an imperial soldier, you must rush over!

Why is the military order staying put? What on earth is the newly appointed emperor doing?

Just like that, half an hour passed. The commander finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put on his military uniform and went out. He ordered all the personnel to prepare to attack and cooperate with Lord Dante to stop the devil!

But as soon as he opened the door of the headquarters, he found a group of soldiers standing at the door. The leader was the veteran chief of staff who had been with him for more than ten years.

The two looked at each other and seemed to understand each other's meaning instantly.

"Master Dante is coming. As imperial soldiers, we cannot watch him rush into the demonic tide alone!"

The gray-haired chief of staff stared with bloodshot eyes: "A soldier's duty is to obey orders! Absolute orders issued by the emperor. Anyone who leaves his post without permission is considered a betrayal of the empire!"

"Fucking betrayal of the Empire!"

"You can't send troops!"

"Get out of my way!"

Soldiers must always be ready to fight for the empire. The duty of a soldier is to obey orders. The army cannot have its own thoughts. The life of a soldier is to protect the empire and its people.

In all past eras, soldiers have always implemented this code of conduct, which has never changed for thousands of years.

But no one has ever thought that one day, these principles themselves will conflict!

A ridiculous order plunged the entire empire's armed forces into a vicious circle from which they could not escape.

Everyone has a different understanding of what is the bounden duty of a soldier. Therefore, conflicts arise in various military regions. Some people want to go out, some are blocking them, and some would rather bear the reputation of betraying the empire to help Lord Dante. Some people raised their guns inside the military camp, aiming at the outstanding soldiers who were about to become traitors to mankind. In some camps, some people actually fired, and human blood flowed in their own army.

This is absolute right. Just one word can bring the entire empire into the most tragic crisis.

In the ancient Roman city, in the emperor's palace, Moriarty stood in front of the window, watching the congressmen and ministers below desperately trying to squeeze into the mansion, but they were blocked by the guards, and the phone calls behind him continued. It was ringing, but it was as if he didn't hear it.

One can imagine how many people across the empire are hurling the most filthy insults at themselves at this moment.

From the most glorious emperor in the history of God to the most stupid emperor in the history of God, it only takes one day.

Of course, Moriarty doesn't care about this.

He just looked in the direction of the Temple of Holy Light, calculated the time in his mind, and felt that Lord Dante should have arrived.

Far away on the other side of the planet, the wind and snow between the mountains obscured the view. The rocks under the feet were collapsing and cracking. The surrounding wind had an incredible sticky feeling. This represented the unique extreme speed of human beings.

The old man's emaciated figure rolled crazily on the back of the mountain.

The pitch black in the distance was getting closer and closer. The old man raised his head and saw that the demon falling from the sky was still not stopping like a heavy rain. There was a "pop" sound, and something seemed to be crushed on his shoulder, which was slightly warm. Hot bloody liquid splashed on the body.

The demons were crushed one after another.

Immediately afterwards, these crackling sounds became denser and heavier. The devil rain that had been falling all day had accumulated tens of millions of devils in the mountains. They were constantly moving, large and small, like the sky. Leeches everywhere. As the old man walked among the muddy flesh and blood, the snow-capped mountains had been dyed bright red. Between the flying red and white, the old man only felt a strong sense of déjà vu, as if a scene from decades ago was coming again. in front of your eyes.

Not far away is the new gate to hell.

Dante jumped up and rushed through the door into the darkness
