Since Xia Zhe returned to the Western Realm, everything here has become a lot depressed, and the original laughter and laughter have disappeared from the faces of ordinary people.

This kind of mood also brought Xia Zhe's mood very badly.

Although the situation in the world is no more abnormal than it used to be, the land of the West can still feel the difference.

The borders, which were originally fairly open for trade, were all closed, and even the simplest barter was rejected by the surrounding villages and cities, although there was no conflict, but the checkpoints set up everywhere had blocked all the ways out for the people of the West.

Can't get out, can't get in is the most direct embodiment here.

More and more armies began to camp and train around the western border, countless war machines were filled with magical powers, and ruffians with the idea of taking advantage of the fire to loot continued to cross the border.

Even the trade of the Thorn Flower Merchants was forced to stop, and no one wanted to do business with the West, which made the Freemasons unable to sell their goods and spend their money. You can only survive one day at a time by relying on reserves.

It can be said that there is no room for mitigation in the other three directions, except for the wild land leading to the north, which still has a glimmer of life.

"President Xia Zhe, maybe there is no need for war, and the Freemasons will collapse in a few years."

The busy and anxious old Locke, who had a rare few hours of leisure, enjoyed the afternoon sun with Xia Zhe.

And beside them, is Horus, the supreme military governor of the Western Territory, and as for Uncle Kun, it is estimated that he is now negotiating with the Count of Augustus on the border, after all, the two sides still have a little sad friendship.

"Xia Zhe, the army has now been sent to the east, west and south directions, but there are not enough manpower, each section of the defense line is only 5,000 people, plus the militia is barely enough for 8,000, such strength may not be able to withstand a day of high-intensity fighting...... Moreover, the soldiers are generally somewhat war-weary and do not understand why they should die for the blood heirs......"

"Are the border crossers holding things under control?" Xia Zhe lay on the recliner and asked without moving.

"I've already let the brothers in the guild deal with it, and it works very well, and it seems that the countries don't mind if we eliminate those scum." When Horus received a small group of bandits attacking the border village, he had already sent hundreds of Freemason fighters through Uncle Kun to control the scene, and in the face of the powerful blood successor, those ruffians and hooligans were only a matter of minutes.

"Xia Zhe, after someone attacked the imperial capital under our banner, the "gate" has been closed, maybe only war or our compromise can calm the anger of the outside world, what do you think?" Old Locke didn't have any good way to solve the situation at the moment.

Since Xia Zhe's failure at the "Council of the Three Kings", the whole world has turned its finger at the West, and any goodwill contact with Freemasonry has been brutally rejected by the surrounding countries.

Now there are more than 100,000 troops of various countries crowded around the western border, and countless powerful organizations appear in front of them, and now whether it is conventional combat power or high-end combat power, Freemasonry is at an extreme disadvantage.

Of course, they were also afraid of the exaggerated top powerhouses of Freemasonry, otherwise, with the twisted hatred of humanity for the Blood Successor, those crazy armies would have jumped over the red line and attacked.

However, the outside world still couldn't touch Xia Zhe in a bad situation, because the depression of the entire Western Realm also made him extremely lost, and the otaku who didn't have any motivation was left to bask in the sun except to say "sorry" when he saw someone.

"Ah...... Although I promised everyone to take everyone out of this predicament, what should I do, when I really started to think about it, I realized how naïve I was. Xia Zhe's whole person was about to fall into the recliner at this moment, "No matter what I think, there will definitely be many innocent people who will die, even if we don't do anything and flee to the wilderness with everything like this, there will also be countless people who will die on the way to migration, not to mention war or surrender." ”

"Xia Zhe! Now is not the time to be depressed, your hope as the blood successor of the entire Western Realm, or even the entire world, such a you will only make them more disappointed, do you want to let everyone's efforts be in vain? Old Locke cocked his beard and criticized Xia Zhe.

"I know, I know, I know what you say, but what can I do, do I rush out and kill all the enemies outside, and the world will be peaceful? Besides, there's no way I'm going to do that kind of thing. ”

"If necessary, Xia Zhe, I think you have to do ......" Horus responded to Xia Zhe's complaint in an unusually serious tone.

"What do you say? So what's the difference between me and those madmen in Warsaw, the indiscriminate use of force will only make the world a mess, and I won't say that next time. Xia Zhe couldn't control his temper anymore, and he didn't even have the mood to bask in the sun, "Let's go, you're so annoying." ”

"Hey! Xia Zhe, if we all died in this land, would you be as naïve as you are now? 100,000 soldiers with weapons in their hands, there is only one way to die "above the line......" Horus shouted behind Xia Zhe, this hard-line man didn't know why, he always hated and loved the "simple" Xia Zhe.

"Master Locke, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves, Xia Zhe is not in a desperate situation, and he can't understand the cruelty of this world at all." Looking at leaving Xia Zhe, Horus could only shake his head helplessly at Old Locke.

However, old Locke had a different idea, "No, maybe that man is working in a place we don't know, but he can't see the progress at all, and besides, you're wrong, he won't let you die here, he won't let anyone ......"

………

Just as Xia Zhe was walking towards a quiet house with two S-class strength guards standing at the door, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of children with muddy and dirty faces.

And the children, despite his objections, forcibly dragged him in the other direction.

"Hey! Little ghosts, what are you going to do, ugly words are in the past, I hate bear children very much. Although Xia Zhe pretended to be "vicious", it was a pity that there was no deterrent effect, and the children completely ignored Xia Zhe's threats and took him to a dilapidated farm.

"Damn, little ghost, I know you, you're the hench who follows yodel every day, I'll go, say you're not happy, why are you muddying me."

"And you, you kid actually dare to confess to Youxi, how old are you, are you 15 years old, and your early love is all hooligan."

"Don't pull my pants, I'm going to call someone...... Finish...... Ah......h

After Xia Zhe entered the dark farm, he suddenly couldn't say anything, and even his mood became strange.

"Huh? What are you doing here? ”
