Say you see, there is smoke ahead, it means that there are people, let's hurry over, as long as there are people, it will be easy to do it! "In a section of the Atlas River basin, among the few people who traveled for nearly half a day, Takayama Invincible said loudly.

It's already noon, maybe it's time to cook, there is smoke not far away, and a few people are excited to speed up their pace...

And when they came out of the grove, suddenly a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly rushed out of a bush, and the leader shouted angrily: "Who, don't move!" When he said that, a team of more than a dozen people was armed with spears and bows and arrows, shouting angrily to approach a few people, and the situation seemed to lead them to kill them with a word!

The young leader who took the lead stared at a few people, and said again: "Who is it, say it quickly, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

Without resistance, several people had to raise their hands in surrender, and at this time, the steamer-like earth, under the scorching sun, the whole land was shrouded in red heat.

After the rainstorm, the mist emitted by the evaporation lock between the branches and leaves was like a deliberately ignited wolf smoke, and a few people who were sweating profusely after being exposed to the sun for half a day were even more sweaty at this time, and it was also caused by the scorching weather, their own tension and the coercion of others.

Ling Feng looked at the spear not far from his neck, and took a few steps forward gently: "I'm sorry, we are the academy of the Imperial Sacrifice Academy, and when we participated in the training of the Abyss Demon Cave ten days ago, we unfortunately encountered the invasion of spirit demon beasts and thunderstorms, so we don't know what kind of place this is, we don't have any other malicious intentions, we just want to find a place where people can rest, and we can go back to our lives!" “

"What, you're a cadet of the Sacrifice Academy? How did you get here? The leader was very surprised by Ling Feng's words, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, we were swept away by the flood not far behind us, and we have all reached the limit of our bodies," said Gao Zhen, who was holding Jin Yilin.

"Do you have anything to prove yourself", the young man who took the lead still did not dare to relax for a moment, because his nerves were about to break in the past few days, which was related to the comfort of the whole town, and could not be deceived by the words of others.

"I'm Ling Feng, a student of the Imperial Academy, this is my nameplate, you can take it and take a look at it and you will understand", said when Ling Feng untied the colorful bracelets on his wrist one by one, and in order to avoid causing misunderstandings, he handed them over very carefully to show his sincerity.

The young man who took the lead also stared at a few people and cautiously took the bracelet, turned it over and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything special, so he threw it to a guy who looked like black charcoal behind him and said, "Kuroko, you can take a look, didn't you say that your sister is in the sacrificial academy, you see if this is true!"

The guy called Kuroko took the bracelet, first lifted the weight, then looked carefully at the sun, and finally counted the number of circles of the bracelet in his mouth. "'I said you can't do it, don't get some and don't have it, you know I hate these things the most", the young man in the lead was obviously a little impatient, and couldn't help urging.

"Hey, big brother, this is true, my sister told me, to see this nameplate, you have to look at it from its color, number of chains, weight, carved student names, etc., I just looked at it carefully, this is indeed true, I think what they said is not wrong", Kuroko hurriedly handed the bracelet to the young man who took the lead.

The young man took the bracelet, waved his hand to everyone, signaled that the danger was lifted, handed the bracelet and said to a few people: "You guys go, although I don't know what your purpose is, I didn't see anything today, and this is what I can help you with."

What do you mean by that? Isn't this the territory of our empire? No matter what, we can't float out of the realm of the Empire, right? Gao Shan Invincible said loudly.

"What are you doing, be honest with me, it's your great luck to let you go, you're still chirping here, be careful that my spear doesn't have long eyes", everyone surrounded everyone as if they were facing a great enemy, and Kuroko also said loudly, how he felt comfortable with this kind of roaring feeling, and there was a feeling of repeated trials.

"Don't get me wrong, we didn't mean that, you drove us away for no reason, you have to explain the reason to us, what happened here, look at you like a great enemy, something must have happened, tell us about it, death also has to let us die with peace of mind, you drove us away for such an inexplicable reason, it is a person who will feel inexplicable, besides, we have just shown our identification, what else is there to doubt?" Seeing everyone's unfriendly behavior, Ling Feng hurriedly stepped forward to explain.

"You just keep pretending to me, you should know better than us what happened, do you need us to say more, if I did, I would have shot you as hedgehogs, how can I have so many reasons to tell you", a topless guy on the other side sneered.

"Huzi, how do you speak", the leader scolded.

"Big brother, it was, didn't Zhang Cheng Lord say, when you meet someone of unknown origin, you can cut it first and then play, have you forgotten all the things we encountered before, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to put one wrong, we are all old and young, women and children.

"Okay, you step aside, I naturally know these better than you, and I didn't say that I wanted them to go into the city, whether they really knew or pretended, so what's wrong with telling them, what's wrong with letting them die, I've always said it, you can't kill good people by mistake, you have to remember; All of you are, if I come out on patrol in the future, don't always think that there are no good people in the world. For I say to you, who would do evil, unless he was a man of the most wicked or a man of necessity? Did you all hear that? The young man who took the lead shouted loudly.

"I heard it", and there was a perfunctory sound of scattered people around.

"Louder, haven't you eaten," he roared.

"I heard you", seeing that he was angry, more than a dozen people shouted.

The young man in charge nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and walked towards Ling Feng and the others, and said: "My name is Xi Changkong, this is the outer guard circle of Shanlu City, I am the captain of the third patrol, the empire has been divided as early as a few days ago, and several major forces have occupied the city as kings, our southeast is already the most chaotic place in the empire, and now the empire is in chaos, causing many robber leaders to take the opportunity to sneak into the city to burn, kill and loot." In our remote place, a lot of news is lagging behind, so the city gate is open to let those who have long known the news into Shanlu City in groups to make it restless, so Zhang Xingcheng City Lord ordered the city gate to be closed, so as not to be attacked in the city again, and Shanlu City will be over after a few more times, so you better leave quickly, if you are seen by the city lord, you don't even have a chance to live! Maybe it was because there was no threat to a few people, and the words were full of dissuasion.

"What? You mean the empire is divided? Shi Qing was shocked, and the rest of the people were also dumbfounded.

"Hmph, pretending to be the same as the real thing", Kuroko said a mocking remark again.

"Why, don't you know yet?" Xi Changkong was also slightly surprised, looking at the expressions of several people did not look like they were pretending.

"Excuse me, when did this happen? Are you sure what you're saying is true? Ling Feng recovered from his surprise and said.

"How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of rebellious thing easily, do you think I want to, there was the support of the empire and the permanent team to help us suppress the bandits, but just a few days ago, the main city of Tbuk suddenly withdrew all the garrison troops, and before we could react, the following things happened, and now the young and middle-aged people in the whole city have been pulled to help defend Shanlu City, if they all die, then the future of our Shanlu City will be over", Xi Changkong sighed.

"We don't know at all, and the sacrificial academy doesn't care about political affairs, just burying our heads in hard work, plus we entered the abyss demon cave ten days ago, we didn't listen to the dissuasion of the instructor, we crossed the fence, and the students who participated in the assessment were killed and injured countless times, and we also came here by narrowly escaped death, and suddenly you said this, can we not be surprised, besides, it is already a blessing in misfortune that we can survive these days, you let us rest, and leave as soon as our strength recovers a little, and we will never trouble you", Jin Yilin also stepped forward at this time and said aggrievedly.

"You ... Hey, I know, many of our Shanlu City are studying in the Sacrificial Academy and the Infantry Academy, and now it has become such a situation, there is no way to do it, now the empire is full of conquest and killing, and many families are stranded in other towns, and after the blockade and martial law, they are separated, hey", Xi Changkong sighed again.

"No, we don't have any ill intentions here, and if war really comes, there will always be war, didn't you just say it, the empire is now under martial law everywhere, which means that we can't go back to Tbuek for the time being. Moreover, Shanlu City was originally a very chaotic place, and now that the empire is in chaos, it will threaten Shanlu City. Not to mention the bandits, just the city of San Anroo above the city of Shanlu and the city of Seman on the upper left, if they want to march into the city of Shanlu, what should you do? Whether to surrender directly or fight to the death, so, ah, why don't we help you too", Tianxiong explained, he doesn't like words, and now he has a set.

"You guys?" Xi Changkong stared at a few people suspiciously.

Indeed, now the internal and external troubles of Shanlu City are very serious, although now Zhang Xingcheng acts as the city lord, but everyone knows that once the critically ill old city lord dies, several other factions will definitely fight for power and profit, although Zhang City Lord is indeed deeply loved by the people, but if it really comes to that kind of situation, it is really hard to say, after all, Zhang Xingcheng's power has not reached that level, on the contrary, the other factions have overshadowed his limelight, if these people can really help, not only internally, externally It is also a very good choice, But in case these people have bad intentions, then...

Xi Changkong pondered, entangled, at this moment, he didn't know what to do. So he said, "I can't call the shots about this."

"You can go find someone who can call the shots, we don't have any ill intentions. And, ah, originally after this assessment, we will be assigned to various towns, and now that the empire has become like this, you say that we have no way, I think the main city of Tubic will always think of a solution, we might as well stay in Shanlu City to help you guard during this time, that is, we have helped you, and at the same time we have been experienced, I think this effect is still great. Although our ability is not too high, we can always do what we can", Takayama Invincible also said at this time.

"This, I have to ask for instructions, I can't be the master", after thinking for a moment, Xi Changkong said.

"Okay, anyway, we're all like this now, and there won't be any threat, let's go", Gao Zhen spread his hands and said helplessly.

Then Xi Changkong ordered Heizi to report, and at this time he also arranged for everyone to rest under the big tree, and the surrounding birds, beasts, insects and ants frantically vented their dissatisfaction with the weather, and the hysterical screams seemed to hint at the mating season.

Xi Changkong opened the kettle and took a sip, then handed the kettle to everyone...
