Chapter 237: Infighting is human nature in every sense

On the morning of the third day after the end of the martial arts conference, Xia Zhe finally left Longmian City with a large group of people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The injured overlord was pushed by Gangze, and Louie, who was originally stationed in the city, as well as the little nobleman Fred and his sister Kerr, stood at the gate of Longmian City, looking at Xia Zhe and their airship with a reluctant face, gradually disappearing into the sky, and no longer visible.

Of course, it is impossible for Xia Zhe to take so many people with him to go on a mission, including the Thorn Flower Merchant Group of Taotis, Golia, Weili and Youxi, all of whom have to return to Brusselin first, and the Overlord will also rush back to Brusselin after his injuries are a little better.

"After all, they don't have much combat power, and for that kind of dangerous mission, they will only distract Xia Zhe. 」

However, these are all said by Reggie, and Xia Zhe himself doesn't care.

So soon, Xia Zhe and the others, who were in different directions, left the airship of the Thorn Flower Merchant Group and boarded another small airship borrowed from the Overlord Mercenary Group.

At this moment, the people who finally decided to participate in this mission are all sitting here, Reggie, Xia Zhe, Alwyn and Andrena.

And their destination is also far away in the hinterland of the Southern Alliances, in the "Ancestral Mountain Range".

However, on the night of Xia Zhe's departure, far behind them, still immersed in the carnival atmosphere of Longmian City, an event occurred that changed the pattern of power on the mainland - the "Great Purge Incident".

This well-planned, but not good or bad conspiracy, completely pierced the peace of the mainland for decades, and made the old gears of fate turn forward again.

……

“…… No matter who the enemy is, if you dare to stand in front of me, I will pierce his chest with the spear and sword in my hand, and let the blood of his sins stain my glory, we are the most fearless Fifth Legion, we are the most powerful Fifth Legion!"

The loud and sad military song came from the mouths of more than 100 veterans wearing stained leather armor.

I don't know where they came from, but they marched through the wide streets of Longmian City with neat steps. However, because they are not well-known military uniforms, and they are all middle-aged and elderly people between the ages of forty and sixty, no one regards them as enemy soldiers from anywhere, at most they are just old guys who recall the past on a whim.

In particular, the "dragon flag" held by the old man in the row made everyone feel that these old people were just marching for the motherland where the martial arts conference was held.

Even though the veterans were wrapped in a dull and solemn atmosphere, the people on the street still cheered for these old people.

Even the sheriff on duty on the side of the road, looking at these exemplary old soldiers, unconsciously saluted them.

However, these ignorant people do not know that officially with these veterans as the source, their country is about to usher in a sea change.

"Fifth Legion! Prepare to attack!"

When these veterans marched unimpeded, to this palatial small palace in front of them,

The gray old man at the head of the row suddenly waved the "Dragon Flag" in his hand towards the gate of the palace, and then an earth-shattering war slogan exploded.

"The Fifth Legion! Defend the glory of His Majesty the Emperor to the death!"

"Kill the sinners of the nation!"

In an instant, the bloody murderous aura that pierced the sky surged out from these half-hundred-year-old people, and the crowd watching the excitement behind them even directly frightened their crotch and paralyzed their whole body.

In fact, not to mention these ordinary people, even the entire team of royal guards stationed at the gate of the palace were also shocked by these "enemy troops" that suddenly appeared.

As long as you compare it a little, you can see that those veterans are not them at all, the recruits who have never seen the "blood of war", the army that can compete with them, that is the momentum that only the soldiers who crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood can exude.

However, before the dozens of royal guards could figure out what was going on, the charging Fifth Legion had already broken their defenses.

It wasn't until they watched those familiar troops break into the palace that these royal guard sergeants realized that they had been let go by the other party, and of course, these arrogant warriors also knew in their hearts that they were completely ignored.

"Maybe in the eyes of those veterans, we can't even be called opponents. 」

However, there was no more time to experience that sense of frustration, because, in that palace, there was an existence that could never be rushed.

"Quick, ask for help from the barracks, sound the alarm, the whole city is under martial law, you stay here, and the others will come with me!" a man who looked like a captain anxiously issued an order, and at the same time chased after the remaining half of his subordinates to the palace.

……

Tonight, it was a special banquet held by the emperor to reward all the heroes who had worked hard for the martial arts conference, but at this time, the camp between the emperor and the grand duke that was very clearly divided in the venue made the whole banquet change its taste.

However, under the toast of the two supreme powers, the two factions still managed to maintain a semblance of harmony.

It wasn't until outside the banquet hall that a violent commotion came in that the calm atmosphere was completely torn apart.

With the more and more clear screams and footsteps, the old emperor sitting on the high seat sighed slightly, his younger brother finally made a move, fortunately, he had already prepared, now, let's see what means the "pit viper" has.

The oppressive atmosphere continued to rise in this banquet hall with only one entrance and exit, and all the nobles and high-ranking officials who were usually high in the sky broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, and the remaining guards in the banquet hall were also trembling at the gate, forming a simple line of defense.

In their opinion, the guy who dares to come to this kind of place at this moment to spread wild is definitely very powerful, and he can't be at the level of those players in the previous martial arts conference.

Didn't you hear the guards outside screaming a few times before they were silent?

Suddenly, there was silence outside the door, as if nothing had happened. But this silence made the atmosphere in the banquet hall even more solidified, and the feeling of being stuck breathing made people dizzy.

I don't know if it's a hallucination caused by too much stress, but the nobles seem to have heard the alarm of the whole city.

This moment became incomparably long, maybe only a second, maybe an hour, just when the nobles could no longer suppress the pressure of waiting for death.

At the same time, the expensive Bai Yaoshi gate also exploded in an instant, and in the dust, ghostly figures carrying heavy breaths poured into the hall one after another.
