[Tonight's third watch, this is the first watch. 】

……

At three o'clock in the morning, when Li Qing woke up, Scarlett curled up in his arms like a kitten.

The long straight white and blonde hair pouring down from her shoulders, like a flawless silk horse, spread on Li Qing's chest. The moonlight shone through the narrow window, which was only a foot square, and sprinkled on Scarlett's hair, reflecting her long hair with a moonlit sheen.

She has a long pointed ear, which looks like a white jade carved in the moonlight. The elven pointed ears that trembled slightly from time to time had a certain indescribable moving interest.

Li Qing couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her lightly on the ear.

Under the kiss, Scarlett, who was still asleep, let out a dreamy murmur.

She instinctively hugged Li Qing tightly, her slender legs clamped one of his thighs, rubbing gently, and soon Li Qing felt a sticky and wet touch on her legs.

Scarlett's breathing became slightly heavy, and a shallow red glow appeared on the delicate skin that could be broken by blowing.

With great perseverance, Li Qing broke free from this gentle battle, gently withdrew from her embrace, and got out of bed silently. After getting dressed and gently covering the quilt for Scarlett, Li Qing kissed her lightly on the corner of the mouth, and then left the bedroom.

He was going to make a tour of the city.

Although there are sentinels on duty in the city at all times, and there is a mobile night patrol team composed of elites, there are also a lot of high-level powerhouses, Su Su has also set up a lot of early warning magic everywhere, and sent ghost patrols in various key positions, so there is basically no need to worry about the enemy's night attack, but Li Qingshen, the supreme commander of the city, still does not dare to take it lightly.

The location of this gate is too important. The rear of Guancheng, although it is not a flat river, it is still a mountainous terrain, but without this dangerous place, it will be much easier for the troops of the Holy Light Alliance to advance into the interior of the empire.

At least, from the back of this gate to the front line of Zhennan City, there is no such precipitous Xiongguan along the way. And with the massive strength of the Holy Light Alliance, those ordinary checkpoints and military villages on the way could not stop its tidal offensive at all.

If this pass falls, until the front of Zhennan City, the only thing that can restrain the advance speed of the Holy Light Alliance Army is the rugged road conditions.

Although Zhennan City itself is a huge barracks, with strong troops, mountains and rivers on all sides, which is conducive to defense, if the troops of the Holy Light Alliance are really advanced to Zhennan City, it is equivalent to the Holy Light Alliance really entering the territory of the empire and igniting the flames of war in the empire. Obviously, this will have a big impact on the morale of both sides.

Although Li Qing is not a true imperial man, he has never been willing to live up to the trust of others.

Now that he has taken over this burden, he must take the responsibility on it. During the time he was in charge of this city, he would never allow a single soldier of the Holy Light Alliance to pass through the other defense area.

Li Qingxian walked around the castle-like mansion. The focus of the inspection was, of course, Susu's room.

That girl is quirky and has a big brain, and when she thinks of it, she is a play. Today, she had the idea of sneaking into the Holy Light Alliance's camp to take a secret photo, so if she was not careful, she might really put that idea into action.

Li Qing came to the door of Su Su's house.

Two ghosts, like the two murals, were attached to the door of Susu's house.

It was a ghost transformed by two gold-level warriors of Amaterasu Province during the Battle of Nakayama Island. Wearing armor on the top and wearing a double knife at the waist, when sticking to the door without moving, at first glance it looks like two stickers of the door gods.

They were the doormen arranged by Susu. If someone with bad intentions comes to break through the door, the first thing you have to do is pass the level of two ghosts.

And these two ghosts themselves have good quality, during the battle of Zhongshan Island, they fought and devoured a lot of souls, and in terms of strength, they were only slightly inferior to them in life. And because of the characteristics of ghosts, even ordinary gold-level powerhouses, if they don't have the ability or items to restrain ghosts, they will suffer a lot at their hands.

Li Qing had the power seed given by Su Su in his heart, and in that power seed, half of Su Su's split soul was even more sleeping. Therefore, the ghost guarding the door would not react to Li Qing's arrival, and still pretended to be a mural and stuck motionless on the door.

Li Qing didn't pay attention to the two ghosts, standing quietly in front of the door, condensing his spirit, and perceiving the situation in the room through the thick solid wood door.

As his perception stats increase, his sensing abilities are further enhanced. In the case that Su Su did not deliberately restrain himself, he not only sensed Su Su's even breathing sound through the room, but even used radar-like mental power scanning to outline Su Su's appearance when he was sleeping.

The girl was lying on the bed on all fours at this time, and her sleeping position was very indecent. Under careful perception, Li Qing even noticed that there was a wisp of crystal saliva slowly flowing down the corner of her mouth.

Li Qing secretly laughed, shook his head, and left in front of Su Su's house.

After inspecting the official residence, Li Qing went out of the official residence alone and inspected around the city.

Focusing on inspecting the warehouses of munitions, equipment, grain and grass, and other materials, and checking the duty situation of each sentry, Li Qing came to the city wall again, stood on the high place of an enemy platform, and looked at the Holy Light Alliance camp five kilometers away.

Looking from afar, I saw that the Holy Light Alliance was divided into seven camps, and the lights were bright everywhere. Under the careful look, you can faintly see the figures in the camp, listen attentively, and you can also hear the noise coming with the wind.

Li Qing said darkly: "It sounds like you're building siege equipment...... I started preparing so early, and it looks like there will be a fierce battle tomorrow! ”

After watching for a while, Li Qing was about to go down when he saw the evil holy maiden coming over with a team of Deadpools.

"Your Excellency, General." Walking in front of Li Qing, the evil holy woman bowed and saluted.

The night was dark, and although there were torches on the walls, the light was still dim.

In the flickering yellow light of the night breeze, I first ran into a group of Deadpools dressed in black, with bronze grimace masks, and silent when walking.

Even the Evil Divine Maiden was dressed in black, wearing a butterfly-shaped black mask on her face, covering most of her face. Only the eyes with a faint glint of dark purple light, purple lips and a sharp, snow-white chin were revealed. In the night, it exudes an evil charm.

Of course, Li Qing definitely has nothing to fear.

He looked at the Evil Divine Maiden calmly, and after she saluted, he said, "You personally lead the patrol?" ”

Deadpool is close to the shadows and darkness, and in the dark, his strength can be increased. And 600 Deadpool, as the "odd barracks" of the mixed legion, although his personal strength is strong, he is biased towards agile swordsmen, who do not wear armor or only equip leather armor in vital parts, which is used on the frontal battlefield, which is not as practical as the barbarians who can wear iron armor.

Therefore, the task assigned by Li Qing to the 600 Deadpools was to be on guard duty and patrol at night to prevent the enemy from infiltrating at night. During the daytime battle of the city defense, it is only necessary to stay in the rear as a reserve and rest. Until the enemy army fully breaks through the defense, or at the most critical moment, there is basically no need for Deadpool to participate in the battle.

However, Li Qing didn't expect that the Evil Divine Maiden would personally lead the team to conduct a night patrol.

"I have inherited some of my master's abilities, and my strength reaches its strongest at night."

The Evil Maiden said calmly, "In the night, after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, until five o'clock in the morning, my eyes will have the ability to 'see the truth'. Any stealth, stealth ability, under my eyes, will not be hidden. So, I'm the best person to watch at night. Besides, my Deadpools must also be blessed by me to exert their strongest strength. ”

The evil god served by the Evil Maiden and Deadpool is called the Dark Dragon. Its priesthood includes the fields of night, shadow, and death. Therefore, the Evil Maiden and Deadpool are best suited to exert their strength in the dark and gloomy environment.

The dark dragon has a haughty temperament, and legend has it that it once said wildly: The Lord of Light controls the light, and I control the darkness. Before the sun sets, the Lord of Light rules the world, and when the sun sets, the world is ruled by me.

When the Lord of Radiance heard this, he said, "I am the ruler of one qiē, day and night." The night of the moon and the stars is my domain. On the night when the stars and moon are gone, there is also the light I bring, which is still my domain.

After a verbal exchange, the Lord of Radiance struck. Destroy the church and believers of the dark dragon in the mortal world, and lead the army of God in the sky to attack the kingdom of the dark dragon.

With the uprooting of the mortal church and the slaughter of believers, the dark dragon gradually lost its channel for divine power replenishment. When the reserve of divine power in the kingdom of God was depleted under the siege of the Lord of Radiance, its kingdom was finally completely defeated, and then it fell without suspense, and the priesthood was also stripped by the Lord of Radiance.

The fall of the dark dragon led to a sharp drop in Deadpool's strength. However, the saints of its church were blessed with misfortune and inherited some of the powers of the dark dragon. In the dark of night, it can exert its almost legendary strength, and it can also give Deadpool a great buff, so that Deadpool can return to the peak state of strength before the fall of the dark dragon in a short period of time.

"I see." Li Qing nodded and smiled: "With you in charge of night defense, the city defense should be impregnable." Alright, Your Excellency, go on. ”

The Evil Divine Maiden humbly said, "Please call me Elliejie, Your Excellency General." Or call me a military rank. "After seeing Li Qing's terrifying dark aura and Su Su's unfathomable spell-casting ability, the Evil Divine Maiden already knew that she should remain humble in front of him.

"Alright, Colonel Ellie." Li Qing made a gesture: "Please continue your inspection." ”

The evil goddess Ellie Jie bowed again and led the team away.

Li Qing inspected the city wall for a while, and then left the city and went back to rest - although he had expected a fierce battle tomorrow, Li Qing did not have any nervousness, so he did whatever he had to do.

There are dangerous passes, elite corps, strong men with strong personal strength, and Su Su, a legendary mage who is proficient in battle command and has strategic-level spell-casting ability, with such a strong capital, what is there to be nervous about?

It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water coming to cover it.
