Chapter 683: Great Changes in the Northern Regions
In the northern region of the Tianluo Continent, outside a strange small city, Xiao Chen breathed in the air a faint but unusually familiar aura, and felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.
It's finally back!
Unlike the Shura Continent, the aura intensity of the Tianluo Continent is at least three times worse than that of the Shura Continent, and as for the legendary cursed Northern Regions, it is even worse, at least five times weaker.
However, this place still makes Xiao Chen feel kind.
"I don't know what kind of place this is, Tian Yan and where they have gone," Xiao Chen glanced around at the slightly desolate surroundings and whispered to himself.
The nearest small city here is afraid that it must be dozens of miles, except for a few withered old trees on both sides of the official road, as far as the eye can see, there are barren grass.
Seeing that there was no one around, he took out the messenger jade talisman prepared in advance in the storage ring and began to contact his subordinates.
It's just that he called at the jade talisman for a long time, but he didn't receive any reply, which made him very helpless.
The farthest distance that this jade talisman can contact is 10,000 li, that is to say, within this radius of 10,000 li, there are no subordinates of their own.
"My luck is really against the sky, so many subordinates are all 10,000 miles away, what a small probability this must be," Xiao Chen said helplessly.
The land in the Northern Regions, under the vertical and horizontal, will not survive more than 200,000 miles, which is indeed not high.
"I hope this place is not far from the Imperial City, so maybe I can meet the subordinates who returned to the Imperial City, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to rush back thousands of miles away alone." ”
Before returning to the Tianluo Continent, Xiao Chen had explained to his subordinates that if there were no companions nearby after returning, he would go back to the Imperial City directly to rendezvous.
The place where he was now was, if it was at the junction of the Northern Regions and other realms in other dynasties, then he wouldn't even be able to meet his subordinates on the way back to the Imperial City.
However, although he didn't have subordinates by his side, Xiao Chen didn't plan to summon his subordinates immediately this time, although he now had fifteen random summoning opportunities in his hands, and there was also a designated summoning opportunity, but in his own opinion, he was not very short of subordinates at present.
He is also an eight-star martial spirit now, and he is not enough to see in the Shura Continent, but he is considered a strong person in the northern region of the Tianluo Continent, after all, among the martial artists in the Northern Regions, in addition to his own subordinates, the strongest person is no more than Wujun.
He is already the one who stands at the pinnacle of the Northern Regions!
"Gotta figure out where this is. ”
Xiao Chen muttered, and then quickly flew towards the small town closest to him.
This town is very small, not much different from the Lianyun City where Xiao Chen used to stay before.
After Xiao Chen entered the city, he entered a rather luxurious restaurant, and wanted to know all kinds of information, and the restaurant was of course the best.
After entering the restaurant, Xiao Chen found a place by the window, ordered a pot of wine, and paid attention to the conversations of the people around him while tasting the wine leisurely.
Soon, four or five young men at the table next to him began to chat.
"You say, I, the Flame Kingdom, can I resist the attack of the Great Zhou Empire this time?" said a young man in a gorgeous brocade robe.
Another young man of the same age next to him with a somewhat gloomy face said, "Of course you can, our Flame Kingdom is the most powerful kingdom in the Northern Regions, how can we not be able to stop the attack of a mere Great Zhou?"
"That's not necessarily, the current Great Zhou is not what it used to be, it is no longer the second-to-last kingdom in the Northern Regions, just this month, they have divided their troops into four routes, and destroyed four kingdoms in a row, plus the three that have been annexed before, the territory of the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Regions, they now account for eight!"
"So what, didn't my Flame Kingdom also occupy the remaining four? Moreover, the strength of these four kingdoms is not much weaker than the seven they annexed combined, and it is not certain who will kill the deer!"
The conversation of four or five young people at this table made Xiao Chen, who was closest to them, move in his heart.
This is the Flame Kingdom?
A long time ago, Xiao Chen had heard of this kingdom, this was the most powerful kingdom in the Northern Regions, and the existence of the hegemon among the thirteen kingdoms in the Northern Regions was far from being comparable to the Great Zhou Kingdom before Xiao Chen crossed into this world.
It's just that this Flame Kingdom is quite far away from the Great Zhou, and it can almost be said that it is located in the north and south sections of the Northern Regions, and his idea of wanting to quickly rush back to the Great Zhou is afraid that it will have to be put on hold for the time being.
Good thing he has a new interest now!
Listening to the meaning of these young people, it seems that there are only two countries left in the Northern Regions now, the Great Zhou Empire and the Flame Kingdom, this is a huge change!
In fact, before going to the Shura Continent, Xiao Chen secretly summoned Xun Yu and Di Renjie and other ministers, as well as Li Mu and Bai Qi, the two imperial marshals.
At that time, Xiao Chen told them that after stabilizing the three kingdoms of Tianpeng, Xianglong, and Northern Qi that had just been annexed, they could appropriately adopt a strategy of external expansion.
Because Xiao Chen at that time had already received the main quest to unify the Northern Regions, he attached great importance to the main quest, so of course he couldn't wait.
But what he didn't expect was that Xun Yu and the others had such a strong execution, they had only been away for a month, and they had destroyed four more countries like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and now they had all hit the outermost Flame Kingdom, which was really fast!
However, listening to the conversations of these people, it seems that the Flame Kingdom has also undergone some great changes, and it has even annexed four kingdoms, so that they can all resist the Great Zhou army head-on.
Although the previous Flame Kingdom was strong, it was absolutely impossible to annex the four kingdoms so easily.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen gently put down his wine glass, arched his hand at a few people, and interjected and asked, "A few brothers, I wonder if you can tell me what has happened in the Flame Kingdom recently, and what is the war between the Great Zhou and the Flame Kingdom?"
Xiao Chen's words made these people look at them in surprise, as if they were surprised by Xiao Chen's loneliness.
Xiao Chen hurriedly explained: "The junior brother has been in the Central Region all along, and he has just returned not long ago, so he doesn't know much about what happened in the Northern Region and the Flame Kingdom. ”
Hearing Xiao Chen's explanation, these people did not doubt him, and seeing that Xiao Chen was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, they had no doubts.
The man who was the most gorgeously dressed said: "Brother Tai may not know, in the past year, a small kingdom has risen in the Northern Regions, claiming to be the Great Zhou Empire, and the country can be described as a master, in just a few months, seven countries have been destroyed, extremely fierce!"
"However, the behavior of the Great Zhou Empire ultimately violated the interests of the major families of the Iron and Blood Dynasty, it is said that these big families are ready to teach each other a lesson, but before their masters rushed to the Northern Regions, a major event happened, forcing these big families to change their minds to take action in person, and instead secretly support my Flame Kingdom to compete with the Great Zhou!"
Xiao Chen's expression froze slightly, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "I don't know what's going on?"
The young man looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "The palace master of the Northern Regions Palace of the Human Emperor Palace personally went to the Great Zhou to enforce the regional protection regulations, but was killed by an unknown old monk in the Great Zhou!"
The new plot unfolds, please take a day off to sort out your thoughts, and the follow-up will be supplemented.
