Chihong City, the rooftop of the Star Tower

The sky was gray, although spring had arrived, but the weather was still very cold, there was no rejuvenation, and the whole day was shrouded in snow clouds, like a fog that could not be dispersed, and people's hearts were trapped.

Today's most distressed is the Emperor Xuanhuang of the human race, Hong Jun Troy, he only inherited the bloodline of Hong Jun Ming, but did not inherit his power of the Emperor Xuan and the heart of Hong Jun, and his talent is mediocre, and he has no desire to be the emperor, his reign is only to stabilize the human race and inherit the unification, although he is not talented enough, but he is a wise man.

He was standing on the edge of the rooftop, standing side by side with his teacher, Aurora Miklos, the Grand Master of the Dynasty, overlooking the vast city-state of Chihong.

"It's windy at night, so Your Majesty should go back." Aurora stood behind Troy and said slowly.

Troy looked at Aurora and looked at his face, which at the moment was an old face. Strangely, his face seemed to change all the time, a long time ago he was able to stay young forever, but now his young face changes from time to time, and when he sees outsiders, he keeps his face young, and when he doesn't see outsiders in the main department, their face returns to the original appearance of his age. It is strange to anyone who knows that Aurora has such a change, but Troy knows that in fact, the reason why Aurora is like this is because he is sick and terminally ill.

Only six people know about Aurora's disease, except for the three elders, only he and Selente Deash Dragon, and Floating Dawn Aniston know, even Shangguan Feihu doesn't know, Aurora has a disease called Keeter's disease, there are many reasons for this disease, and Kee's virus is a molecule floating in the air, which is most abundant in the hot forest, but people generally don't get this disease, because this is a kind of person who can be immune as long as he has a little courage, but there is also a factor that causes Kee'er's disease, that is, the use of psychiatric techniques over the years, because the power of the spirit comes from the soul rather than the soul, after the soul is damaged, the virus of this disease can take advantage of the void, Keet virus is a metamorphic virus, after entering the body, it will not immediately harm people's lives, but gradually silence in the human organs, after years and months of consumption of people's lives, eventually, the patient may die due to organ failure of the whole body.

Aurora's infection with the Queoat virus was accidental, and when he found out he was terminally ill, there was no cure.

"Teacher, go back first, I'll stay for a while." Troy said to Aurora.

"Then I'll be with you." Aurora said lightly.

"Teacher." Troy snorted.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Aurora responded.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked.

Aurora sighed, put his arm on Troy's not broad shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, everyone will die one day, and I am no exception, I have lived for thirty more years, and this is already a blessing from heaven." ”

"But Dr. Bobosha said that your illness can still be cured." Troy said.

"The dragon will be back in a while, and I will tell him to come here." Aurora said.

"Forget it, let's go back, Senior Brother Selente has traveled thousands of miles back to the imperial capital, and we can't slack off." Troy tightened his cloak and turned to go down.

"Okay, let's go to my office." Aurora followed him, and the two of them went downstairs.

The Slayer Alliance's headquarters, Iron Dome, is three basement floors

With the sound of brisk footsteps, Selente Desh Dragon, dressed in a black gold-trimmed gown, came to the door of Aurora's office alone, under the black cloak, the golden winged sword still shone brightly, and the noble temperament came naturally. The dragon knocked lightly on the door twice, then pushed it in, and inside, Aurora and Troy had been waiting there for a long time.

"I've seen Your Majesty." The dragon walked up to Troy and said that he was about to kneel and knock nine times.

"It's all your own people, so you don't have to be polite." Troy said.

"Morality and etiquette still have to be taught, otherwise the number of etiquette will be lost, and the program will often be lost, wouldn't it be to fall into a situation of unkindness, injustice, disloyalty and unfilial piety." After the dragon finished speaking, he respectfully knelt and bowed nine times to Emperor Xuan.

"Okay, okay, let's get even." Troy hurriedly walked over and helped the dragon up, "As the Great Sage Master of the Empire, you have worked hard for the human race day and night, and this time you have come from thousands of miles away, sit down quickly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The dragon sat down in the seat at his desk, and Aurora sat next to him.

Without further ado, Long immediately got to the point, he looked at Aurora, "Teacher, I heard, you have formed an alliance with the Neutral Alliance?" ”

"That's right." Aurora said lightly, "Just the night before yesterday, I went to Taohuawu. ”

"I heard that Dongfang Ziyan is also among them." The dragon asked again, if he had indeed just learned the news, or had he learned it from the people who had met the headquarters on the way here.

"Don't you know? I thought Ziyan had already told you about it. Aurora was a little surprised.

"Dongfang Ziyan respects the teacher, I may not have time to meet you." Troy said.

Long sighed and said softly, "You don't know, my student is a person who doesn't like to talk, but he has his own opinions, and once he decides something, no one can pull him back, this time he became a neutral, I'm afraid it's not his impulse." ”

"He has his own ambitions, so the teacher didn't stop him, and the same is true of Ximen Cangyue." Troy said.

The dragon leaned back in his chair, and then said slowly, "Okay, let's not talk about him, Your Majesty, teacher, I think the Black Stone Demon Clan is about to launch a larger-scale battle, it is a full-scale battle, and the scope will cover the entire Terran continent, and even the South China Sea region may be implicated." ”

As he spoke, the dragon got up and walked to the military map on the wall, Aurora doesn't like floating screen projection, so the wall of his office is covered with various military maps, from large to small, from the detailed map of most of the human world, the detailed map of the continent of the human world, the detailed map of the three major theaters of war in the southwest and north, as well as the detailed map of the regions of various fields, Aurora will look at these maps every day.

The Great Sage Master Selente came to the map of the three major war zones, "The enemy will still launch attacks in the three war zones of the Northern Plain, Xishagu and Nanjun, but there will also be a small scattered demon spirit hunt or Imra into the interior of the continent, this time the black stone demon army is very different from the previous one, after the original spirit of the demon pool is absorbed and quenched, the bloodline of the black stone demon clan has been greatly improved, which means that their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and our human soldiers are not as good as them, this time the gap will be even greater." ”

"That's right, but what you said is what we expected, we just need to hold the city pass and attack from a distance with mechanized troops, and it won't be a big problem if we don't fight it in close combat." Troy said, "The Black Stone Demon Clan is a desolate race, so most of them will not be able to resist the attacks of mechanical artillery fire, and they have never used mechanical skills. ”

Aurora didn't speak, he wanted to see how Sereent argued.

"Your Majesty, Teacher." Sereant walked over to the map of Ariadra's realm and said slowly, "Do you remember what happened thirty years ago? That was before the Great Patriotic War, and His Majesty was too young at that time to probably remember it very well. ”

Aurora was shocked, and his face changed slightly, "Of course I remember that incident was the main trigger for the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in the later stage of the Second Heaven and Earth Rebellion. ”

"The demon god broke into the empire and attacked the headquarters of the Zhishui city-state, the garrison legion of the Great Sage Division in the southern region was completely wiped out, the communication system was paralyzed, and the defense line of the water-stopping city-state was missing, and the gate of the empire was opened, causing the enemy army to invade from the south, and the troops were directed at the imperial capital, and there was also an enemy invasion in the north, which was simply embattled, if it were not for the stubborn resistance and resistance of the alliance army, plus the support of Samael Sharon and Odin Lufas's Eastern Emperor and Western Emperor army, the Terrans would have fallen under the clutches of the Blackstone Demon Clan." The dragon said with a deep face.

"Are you saying that after the Black Stone Demon Clan starts fighting again, they will once again follow the strategy of the Great Patriotic War, with the purpose of breaking the Nanjun Pass, so as to advance the entire human race?" Troy asked.

"Although this method is wonderful, but at that time, the Black Stone Demon Clan would choose the gap in Nanjun because the Great Sage Master at that time was plotted by the enemy army in order to help the hungry people transfer during the black harsh winter, and his back was injured, so he lost in the hands of the Demon God, but now it is different from the past, our Slayer Alliance is fully armed, and its strength is by no means comparable to that of the year." Aurora said contemplatively.

"Teacher," Troy said as if suddenly realized, and his face became gloomy, "that's not true! Back then, our Slayer Alliance had the Eight Glory of Emperor Xuanhuang, but now what are the young people who can take on the Eight Glory? Originally, Dongfang Ziyan, Shangguan Yuanji and others must be the inheritors of the Eight Glory, but these two have already left, and only the head of the Dongfang family, the head of the Shangguan family, the head of the Northern Hell family and the Great Sage Master can still serve as the eight glory, but these four people are stationed outside the border, but in the alliance, although Ipreis and the others are extremely capable, they can face strong opponents like Mephistopheles and Magog, how can they resist? The last time the Witch Lord broke in, it already speaks for itself. ”

Long arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty is worried about what you are worried about, let me ask, we have transferred all the masters to the border, so what should our headquarters do?" In other words, will the enemy appear where we are at our weakest? ”

"The weakest point?" Aurora tensed her face and looked at Selente, "Where?" ”

The dragon didn't say anything, just pointed to his feet, and then said, "The last time it was the Witchcraft Lord, maybe the next time it will be the Demon Emperor Luo Throat Danger." ”

"Luo Yu? Am I afraid of him? Aurora said proudly, "Although the situation is a little unstable, as long as I go out, the scene is still in my hands, whoever dares to come, I will kill whoever comes, come one to kill one, come to two, kill a pair." ”

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, "I'm afraid you can't do this old bone!" As he spoke, Simon walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, and it seemed that he had heard their conversation.

"Old minister, I've seen His Majesty Emperor Xuan." Simon Zhishui leaned down and said.

"The patriarch is here? You may be seated. Troy said right away.

Ximen Zhishui sat on the single sofa he often sat on, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, and he had left a long line of cigarette ash after not playing cigarette ash for a long time, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Uncle, what did you just say?" Sereant asked with a smile.

"I said, the old bone of Aurora is holding on, if Luo Yu Wei really comes to the imperial capital, no one will be able to subdue him, because his strength has been greatly different." Ximen Zhishui said slowly.

"What do you mean by that?" Troy asked.

"Sereent, you are the Holy Prophet, you should know better than I am." Ximen Zhishui threw away the cigarette butt and said lightly.

The dragon looked at Aurora, then at Troy, and then, he whispered, "After going through the blood exchange ceremony, Luo Yu already has the power of the imperial blood, and now Luo Yu Wei is no longer the Luo Yu who was defeated by Dongfang Xiao, his strength is stronger than his Lao Tzu back then, Luo Yu Ba, and it can even be said that it is much stronger." ”

"The Most Holy Prophet...... Zhi Jiang ......" Aurora put his hands on his forehead, then laughed, and when he raised his head again, his face had regained its youthful appearance, "I still say the same thing, no matter who dares to invade the imperial capital and threaten the life of Emperor Xuan, I will tell him to pieces," Then he turned to look out the window, "Just like the night when Pumi Ertya was assassinated, it was also a rainy night when the three generations of Emperor Xuan were assassinated...... This kind of tragedy must not happen, it must not be ......"

Aurora's eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he clenched his fists and gurgled them. For some reason, the dragon looked at Aurora, as if the "Human Emperor" Aurora Miklos from decades ago had returned, arrogant, conceited, but fearless.

Half an hour later, Selent took advantage of the night to walk out of the Star Picking Tower, ready to walk to the gate of the Imperial City and take his mount back to Nanjun, when passing by the Valhalla, he found that there were still lights in the hall, so he stood at the door of the Valhalla for a while, and then walked inside.

Valhalla is still as brilliant and gorgeous as before, the huge statue of Hongjun Dila in the main hall is still standing, holding the Red Emperor Charm Sword in his hand, for some reason, Seleant suddenly remembered his student, Dongfang Ziyan, he smiled, heard movement on the second floor, and walked up the spiral staircase.

In the circular corridor on the second floor are hung the heroic spirits who have been the heads of families in the Slayer Alliance for generations, most of them are nobles, people who gave their lives when the human race is in danger, and Sereant is certainly familiar with this place, because there are all the heroic spirits of their family here.

Sure enough, in front of his father's posthumous photo, he found the person who came to Valhalla in the middle of the night like himself, and after a closer look, that person turned out to be the patriarch's corpse, that is, Dongfang Ziyan's grandfather, Dongfang Caesar.

"Uncle? It's so late, why are you here? The dragon asked in surprise.

"Can't sleep, come and see an old friend." Oriental Caesar didn't look at him, and said silently.

"Father's ......"

"The old man is drifting away one after another, like falling leaves in the wind, and even I don't know how many times I can worship him, so I will come to see him when I have time, and it will not be in vain for our brothers back then."
