8> This is a freshly forged crossbow arrow, and you can imagine its sharpness by looking at the blue edge.

The crossbow was operated by a veteran of a hundred battles, and he had already put on black iron armor in the Peishui tragedy ten years ago. Over the years, he has suppressed bandits, pacified Wild Horse City, traveled thousands of miles to Cangmao City, and later fought fiercely with the awakened people of the Jade Family in Immortal Ridge.

The veteran was lucky, and in ten years, he had suffered numerous wounds, but they were all flesh wounds, and sometimes even he was surprised by his luck. Today, however, it seems that his luck has come to an end.

The veteran's left ankle had been severed off, and the neat cut was clearly a masterpiece of a wind blade. Fortunately, there was snow and ice everywhere around, and the broken wrist was quickly frozen, which allowed him to hold on a little longer.

This is a food transport team from Fog Harbor, they are only two days away from the Peishui Realm, but just as they are about to arrive home, two mysterious awakened people appear.

Without any warning, the two enemies attacked, and they came up with a killing move, in this snowstorm, one used the wind blade to attack, and the other directly greeted with the ice ring technique.

When more than twenty Raging Ice Rings were unleashed, the veterans finally knew that they had encountered the most dangerous and powerful master.

Black Iron Equipment can indeed resist the attack of spells, but that is also limited, when the Black Iron Soldier encounters the caster of the Great Mastery Realm, the advantage of the equipment is gone.

The biting cold air penetrated the soldiers' bodies through the armor, although the armor blocked more than 6o% of the cold air, but because the magic power of the Great Master was against the sky, the remaining forty percent of the remaining power was enough to freeze these soldiers into popsicles.

As for the wind blade cast by the Great Master, it is even more tricky. Due to the extremely strong control of the Great Master's divine sense, this allowed them to take their micro-operations of the Wind Blade to a whole new level.

For example, he can cut 150 blades in the same place in a second, with an error of less than a millimeter. When the sturdy black iron armor was cut into a crack like a tend, he could manipulate more than a dozen wind blades at the same time to drill into the crack in a neat line.

In the blink of an eye, the soldier's internal organs had been cut into a pile of fresh meat by the tumbling wind blade.

The clash lasted only ten minutes, during which the soldiers organized only two effective attacks, one with a javelin salvo and the other with a death assault.

Ten minutes later, only the veteran with a broken wrist was still alive, and he did not cry in pain or howl when he watched his comrades who had been with him fall in a pool of blood. He just leaned silently on the food packet, lonely winding and striking, and then rewinding and striking.

According to the most standard military training, the black iron crossbow bolts kept shooting at the two men in black cloaks in front of them. The veteran didn't speak, he didn't want to scold the street, the two people on the opposite side didn't dare to expose their true faces, this kind of cowardly villain was not worth wasting spittle.

Perhaps it was the veteran's lone wolf-like eyes that frightened the attackers, and the two awakened simply stood there watching, letting the crossbow bolts hit the ice shield unmoved.

"I really don't know where the courage of these mortals comes from, even if a piece of black iron armor is excellent, it is not omnipotent, and for the spells we cast, black iron equipment is almost ineffective..."

"But these mortals see this equipment as an all-powerful artifact, and they think they can defeat us with these things?"

The question of an awakened person was exchanged for the same feeling.

"Yes, I never forget the battle of Immortal Ridge, where thousands of mortals shouted Banzai and rushed to the position. These moth-like soldiers, with no regard for the power of their spells, and no fear of the Awakened in their hearts..."

"How dare these rebellious mortals, led by the rebellious flow of fire, challenge the dignity of the gods?"

"Poor grass people, can't they live their short lives in peace? With only a few decades to live, why would they rebel against our rule, and even if they succeeded, how many more years could they enjoy?"

The gap between the world of the Awakened and the mortal world is so big, two groups of creatures with completely different values, although they look the same, they are not the same kind of creatures in their bones.

"That's enough, you humble reptile...", perhaps it was the black iron crossbow arrow that struck the ice shield, causing a tingling sensation in their senses, and this sting was so deep that they had no face.

The blade of the wind severed the crossbow's bowstring, as well as the veteran's throat.

However, the two awakened had no joy in their hearts after the victory, because the veteran did not show any emotion until the death of his eyes.

There was no fear, no sorrow, not even contempt and anger at the enemy. And this kind of fighters who have nothing are the most terrible, either they are all fools, or they have become the most determined fighters.

The answer, it seems, is definitely the latter.

As the pale green wood poison began to corrode the food packets, there was a sudden rustling sound in the northwest direction of the road. When the two sneak attackers looked up, four figures flew over the horizon.

"It's bad, hurry up and retreat, it's those old guys brought by Wenmo..."The two of them didn't hesitate, they didn't care that there was still a lot of food that hadn't been destroyed, and they took up two high-level wind skills and fled to the southeast.

It was the old guys who Wenmo brought out from Penglai Island who chased them, although Liu Lao, Wenmo and Granny Mu took some of them away to look for herbs, but for the safety of Peishui, they still left eight great masters to sit in Peishui, and they lived on the nameless lake where Liu Lao lived.

When the mysterious people began to attack the grain convoy, the eight masters divided into two groups and volunteered to become guards on the two grain routes, and it was their presence that made the arrogance of these attackers somewhat restrained.

In the first three days of the attack, almost one out of every three food convoys was attacked, but when the old guys attacked, the proportion of attacks quickly dropped to one-tenth. Now Dawangcheng can receive about ten grain transportation teams every day, and the pressure of material shortage has been greatly alleviated.

However, the people did not see the problem in this way, they only saw the daily attacks on the grain road, although many grain transport teams successfully escaped the ambush, but the atmosphere of terror did not disappear, and this is how the rush to buy in the Great King City came.

In the conference hall of the Flowing Fire Mansion, the civil and military officials with sad faces were drinking bitter tea cup after cup, not only ordinary people like Daydream and Cheng Jun were a little unbearable, but even the awakened people such as Suzaku and Zuo Panyu were tired of having dark circles under their eyes.

"The people have completely lost their minds, and prices can be said to change three times a day. People don't even have the strength to scold the street now, everyone is rushing to buy, desperately rushing to buy..."

"Now that the people's cash has been exhausted, many people have begun to pawn their belongings, and even barter, all kinds of luxury goods, handicrafts, including land deeds and house deeds, have become trading goods, and people's panic has reached the point of no return..."

"Now all kinds of rumors are flying all over the people, some say that the Yu family and the Li family are about to take advantage of the chaos to attack Peishui, and some say that they will march and demonstrate to drive those refugees away, and even... Some of the people even said that they would drive away the Blizzard guards and hunters' soldiers..."

Daydreaming was truthfully reporting the chaos in the city to everyone, and when the topic was brought to friendly forces, his voice became noticeably lower.

"Don't blame the people, they are too scared, and it is normal for people's selfishness to begin to swell when they are at stake..."Daydream weakly explained to everyone.

In fact, there is no need to daydream about it, everyone can see what the situation of Peishui is now, and the one who is hit the most is Suzaku. Three days ago, she used a passionate and loving speech to stabilize the hearts of the people in the city, and also partially resolved the contradictions between the people and the merchants.

But in just three days, her efforts were all in vain, and the people and merchants actually united and began to exclude outsiders, not only refugees, but even the allies.

It seems that Daydream's previous analysis is really reasonable, when the people do not have a threat from an external enemy, they will desperately fight among themselves. But as soon as an enemy appears that can be feared by the people, they will immediately abandon their past internal sordid and quickly point the finger at an outsider, even if that outsider is their ally.

"This choice has nothing to do with morality, it is just a risk-averse experience left over by the people for thousands of years, everything is just to survive..."

Suzaku raised his hand to interrupt Daydream's introduction, looked back at Yang Fan and said, "You are in charge of the intelligence department, can you figure out the identity of the attacker now?"

Yang Fan scratched his head, "The identity is very certain, but the evidence is difficult to obtain, judging from the methods of the attackers, they are not many but they are all elites, and the strength of all of them is above the great mastery." Now among our enemies, the only force that can send more than a dozen great masters at once is the Yu family..."

"Besides, our liaison officer in Tiandu City just sent a letter through the Golden Thread Eagle... The letter said that the ancestor of the Yu family had sent a delegation of twenty people to prepare for the New Year's party in the Great King City, and he also wanted to participate in the royal ceremony of the flowing fire..."

"Shhh The Yu family seems to have mastered the information that the flowing fire is unconscious, this is a dignified and upright use of yang, this is forcing the flowing fire to appear.

"From this point of view, it must be the Yu family who attacked us, they want to test the accuracy of the information, they are trying to force the palace..."

The trick is the most difficult move to break, because all the enemy's means are on the table, and you can't refuse. Liuhuo and the ancestor of the Yu family had just reached a peace agreement, and there was no excuse for them to send an envoy to pay their respects to the New Year. As for the attack of the grain transport team, the Yu family would not be stupid enough to give the Peishui people evidence.

The New Year's celebration after the war, the celebration of the prince with the reward of the dragon, and the drinking party to celebrate the peace agreement are all excuses that cannot be shirked.

Put the three reasons together, Drifting Fire should show up even if there is a big excuse, if Drifting Fire doesn't appear, then it can only confirm the rumors of a coma.

The wolves outside Peishui will tear apart the Great King City in an instant.
