Chapter Twenty-Eight: Hometown and Enemy Tracks
"Duke Luther." Wright waved his hand, "In my name, let the Imperial Intelligence Department arrange some manpower, mainly to investigate this disappearance, and probably determine where the next disappearance will occur."
"The intelligence department of this empire is already doing it, according to the direction and law of the city that disappeared before, we judge that the next time such an incident happens again, it should be near the three places of 'Torland City', 'Fort Peradi' and 'Fort Qiqi', but considering the current flow of refugees, we are not too sure."
"Okay, there is one more thing, we have to send people to be prepared to deal with the flow of refugees, they are all the people of our empire, and they must be taken care of."
"Don't worry, we've already arranged it for the Empire." Having said that, whether this Lord of War has paid attention or not, there is still a big gap.
"Alright, stand down. I'll go to the Northlands to sit down, who the hell is so to the people of our Puon Empire. Wright's face flashed with a hint of anger.
The northland province of the Puang Empire is covered with frost and snow for more than half of the year, and the men of the northland fight against the cold wind, the monsters, and the robbers, and also develop the strong, aggressive but united character of the northland men.
In terms of being fierce and aggressive, the Far Eastern Prairie and the Realm of Chaos can still be compared with the Northland, but in terms of unity, they are far behind. It was here that Wright spent his childhood.
"It's actually here, so let's go down and have a look!" Wright's gaze, which was flying through the air, flashed and landed in a small town below.
Falling Dragon Castle, Wright's hometown.
Three hundred years have passed, and the Falling Dragon Castle has developed very prosperously with the support of Wright and Duke Cap's family, which is not much different from the Blue Fort three hundred years ago. At its peak, there were more than 200,000 people in the small Falling Dragon Castle. Because of the example of Wright, a god-level powerhouse, many strong people were born. In the entire Northland, among the three major legions and even the civilian mercenary groups, there are the so-called 'Falling Dragon Fort Faction', which is already an exaggerated achievement for a northern town.
However, at this moment, there are very few residents in the Falling Dragon Castle, and there are no more than a hundred people left in the entire town.
Falling Dragon Castle is relatively lucky, and it is not one of those cities where the entire population of the city has disappeared. The reason why there are no people is because almost all of them have taken their family property and become refugees, of course, because of the fact that Falling Dragon Castle has come out of a god-level powerhouse and a master of the Holy Domain, it is naturally relatively wealthy overall, strictly speaking, it is not a refugee, but a family relocation. Help each other and support each other, and there are some gold coins in your hands, so you can settle down better.
If it is an ordinary refugee, who does not have much wealth in his hands, let alone the strength to protect himself, I am afraid that many people will be broken on the way.
And this is just a microcosm of the Northland. At this moment, the number of people in the entire two major provinces of Northland and Hongtu may be less than 10% of the previous one.
In the family's old mansion, Wright had a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
The years have passed, and my parents have passed away decades ago, leaving this old house uninhabited for many years. Of course, this old house was also repaired and cleaned by the local administrator, so it was naturally not dirty, but it still lacked a human smell.
Objects that were once so familiar were so strange in Wright's eyes.
In this old house, he lived in a cubicle on the second floor, which was one of the warmest places in the room. When he was a child, his father taught him to read and write, and his mother watched him play with his sister gently and kindly. When I was older, my father began to teach basic warrior cultivation methods, and he was very ruthless when he practiced warriors, and his mother also taught some knowledge. After 300 years, he can also feel the warmth of his parents' love.
That may be the warmest and most comfortable time in this life.
A strong feeling of longing lingered in Wright's heart for a long time,
Looking at the furniture made by his parents, and outside the room hung his game according to the tradition of the Northland, he walked out along the old house, and the square of the town was the place where the instructor instructed them to cultivate--- although it was far less good than what his father taught. In the streets and alleys, he and his childhood friends chased and played, and occasionally there was a market that was even more lively.
Wright stared, and a gray-haired old man walked in front of Wright--- of course he couldn't see Wright at all, but Wright knew him, it was his childhood friend 'Hadley', although his strength was good and reached the level of an eighth-level warrior, but he was still no match for time.
Wright didn't show up, after all, the two sides were no longer people of the same world, just a flick of the fingers of his right hand, a drop of energy containing the power of life entered his body, this method could extend his life for decades, and it would be easier and more comfortable to live.
Watching the departure of this old friend, Wright also intends to leave this native land. Now that he is respected as the god of war by the people of the Puang Empire and even the entire Magnolia Continent, he naturally has to shoulder his responsibilities. Guarding the Magnolia Continent is naturally also guarding one's hometown.
"Humph!" Wright's eyes lit up, and just now, his divine sense swept through the area of the Northlands again, only to find a sanctuary that he had never seen before.
It's not just that I've never seen it, there are still some secluded sanctuaries on the mainland, and Wright can't see every one of them. But this Sanctuary has an extremely bloody, chaotic, and strange aura. Although the strength was only at the level of the Sanctuary and there was no sense of threat, it gave Wright a disgusting feeling.
Wright's divine sense swept away, and with the strength of his divine sense, he would naturally make this holy domain unnoticed.
"The Red Mask Human Sanctuary, well, is indeed human-like, but this aura?"
Wright's consciousness moved, and his consciousness began to slowly penetrate into the body of this holy realm.
"This ...... What a monster! ”
Wright was a little dumbfounded. This so-called Sanctuary human is a layer of human skin on the surface of the body, and under the human skin, there are countless tiny insects and cockroaches! These worms seem to have replaced all the organs in his body - muscles, blood, nerves. With the exception of the skull, where the soul is located, the body is composed entirely of disgusting blood-red bugs. These bugs were so small that ordinary sanctuaries couldn't see them at all.
Moreover, these insects and cockroaches also reveal a strong dark aura, this divine power aura --- at least belong to a mid-level god, maybe it may be a high-level god.
"Is this a means of flesh transformation? Hamlin back then was really nothing compared to this. This is not a 'sanctuary' at all, but a living 'hive'"
Indeed, Hamlin's transformation was only to splice other organs into the human body. With a little hair, wings, or something, any god who is good at the laws of darkness or the rules of life can do something similar.
But if you replace all the organs of a human body with worms, you can still exert the strength of the Sacred Domain?! This method is simply incredible, at least for a god like Wright, who is called a genius mage and is essentially a reckless warrior.
Under Wright's divine sense, countless insects and cockroaches on the surface of this 'hive's body soared. Of course, the traces of these insects and cockroaches can be seen at a glance under Wright's consciousness, 'Torland City', 'Fort Peradis', and 'Fort Perch', but these insects and cockroaches are very helpless to find that there is almost no one in the entire city-—— even if Wright and others do not arrange it, the residents have already fled under the pressure of "disappearance".
The 'hive' seemed to be surprised that there was no one, and hovered in the sky for a while, as if to guess that someone was watching it, and suddenly its body burst open, turning into a blood mist...... Under Wright's divine sense, this was not a real blood mist, but countless tiny insects and cockroaches, which quickly infiltrated the earth.
"A good escape technique, if it is an ordinary lower god, unless it is within the scope of the god realm, it will be difficult to find! But for me, hehe. Under Wright's divine consciousness locking over the superior god, the movement trajectory of this mass of insects and cockroaches was clearly seen.
"Did you fly north? Very well, take me to your lair! I'm going to see who it is. ”
Nearly a thousand miles behind the 'hive', a figure sneakily followed, it was Wright. However, at this moment, Wright's whole body divine power is running the 'Life Force Mystery', wrapping his body surface tightly, and there is no trace of breath exposed. So as not to startle the snake.
