The news of the Void Empire's declaration of war on the Ryan Kingdom could not be completely concealed after all.

Especially behind the scenes of Greine's seclusion, the entire Ryan Kingdom suddenly fell into a stormy situation.

The northern nobles refused to obey the orders of the royal capital on the grounds that Greine was not the king; Roald, the Duke of the Frontier who has the reputation of "Lane's Shield". G. Evans also refused to support the central government on the grounds that the army of the undead was overwhelming; Söder. Shabor also refused to send an order to send troops to the fortress of Tonys on the grounds that Greine was not king; Coupled with the selfishness of the nobles in the south and the absolute strength shown by Cecilia, it is very rare that there is no civil strife in the Kingdom of Lane at this moment.

Basically, Greine has completely lost control of the entire Ryan Kingdom: his influence and orders can only radiate to the entire royal capital and the surrounding areas, and after leaving the royal capital area, even the direct territories of the royal family have completely disobeyed Greine's arrangement. Especially after the four reinforcements sent by Greon to support the fortress of Tonys were completely annihilated by Kokire and Alexis on their own, no legion was willing to leave the station.

Almost everyone agreed that Greine's death was only a matter of time.

It's just that only a few people know that as long as Grayne still has Asuna's life-saving hole card in his hand, then he won't die for a day.

……

In a dimly lit hut, a young woman is being hanged.

Two rings of spikes wrapped around her wrists, sharp spikes piercing through her wrists, blood gushing out of the holes, drying up, crusting, and finally condensing into thick bloody lumps. The hoop was pulled by two stout chains, the other end of which was tied to the left and right corners of the house, and then dragged to two steam gears, which were obviously not light, and could not be operated without them.

And on this woman's feet, there are two iron balls as big as watermelons and with a layer of purple luster on the surface-purple light iron heart balls, which are smelted with special technology and have a net weight of 1,000 kilograms, which are special auxiliary tools specially used to imprison the powerhouses of the Holy Domain.

The young woman, who was hoisted by chains, was one meter above the ground, right in the middle of the room.

There are countless scars on her body, which are basically scabbed, but there are also some scars that are inflamed and pus-flowing, which looks extremely disgusting and hideous, not to mention the smell emanating from her body, which is enough to discourage anyone. Although she was still wearing clothes, they could barely be concealed, especially the fragments of clothing that were still stuck to many of the scars.

Outside the iron fence of the hut, a young man with a dark vulture look was staring at the woman inside the fence.

There were four people standing next to the man, three middle-aged men and a young man who was not very old.

One of the middle-aged men was wearing a set of black armor, and his body exuded a rich and strong momentum, which was almost physically attached to his body, fully demonstrating the extraordinary strength of this middle-aged man - in fact, he was indeed the strongest of all the people present: this was a true legendary powerhouse.

The other two middle-aged men standing beside this legendary powerhouse were not very strong, they were only in the Golden Realm. It's just that the middle-aged man, who is relatively younger, has a unique aura on his body that is about to move, obviously a person who has already stepped into the realm of the holy realm with half a foot.

As for the thin young man, his strength was not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, he was also the least of all the people present, as could be seen from the fact that he was standing relatively far from the side, and he kept his head bowed as if he was waiting for orders.

The young man with a gloomy vulture looked at the young woman imprisoned in the iron fence for a long time, then turned his head to look at the thin young man next to him and asked in a deep voice, "This woman is not dead yet, is she?" ”

"Not yet." The thin young man replied in a low voice.

"Gren, what are you going to do with her?" The legendary powerhouse frowned slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Black Eagle and Ba have been out of contact for a long time, and I heard that the battle on the side of Garold Fortress has been completely pacified, so I guess they should be more than lucky." ”

"I know it without you saying it!" The young man with a gloomy vulture looked cold and said in a cold voice, if he looked carefully at this moment, he could clearly see that his eyes were already bloodshot, "Are those guys in the void specially producing mad dogs?" Sean is a mad dog, who bites whoever he catches, even William and Hela under his command are mad dogs, biting people everywhere! Now even that Cecilia is a mad dog! ”

When the few people around saw Grayne's furious appearance, they all wisely chose to be silent, and no one wanted to touch his brow at this time.

Only the legendary powerhouse had a flash of disdain in his eyes.

He is an outsider who wandered from the trading capital, and only met Black Hawk by chance, and later became a guest of Grace through Black Hawk's introduction. At that time, this legendary powerhouse was immersed in the grand plan of the prosperous world depicted by Greine, as long as Greine could become the king of the kingdom of Lane, he could become the real power under one person and above ten thousand people, so he naturally helped Greine do a lot of dirty things.

He even did not hesitate to become a shadow of Greine - no one knew of his existence except for Greine and several of his cronies.

In Grein's original plan, once he became the king of the Lane Kingdom, Black Hawk would control the intelligence department of the entire Lane Kingdom, becoming his ears and eyes. And another legendary powerhouse, Ba, is the Zhenguo powerhouse that Greine is ready to launch and put on the table. As for him, he will become Grayne's deepest hidden blade, specializing in solving those things that are not suitable for ordinary people to deal with, of course, his apparent identity will be a duke of the Lane Kingdom, and he is also a big celebrity in front of Grayne.

It was these promises that kept him by Grein's side.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the world he knew was completely turned upside down overnight. Not only will Grace not be able to keep his promise, but he will probably not even be able to save his own life if Asuna dies.

In front of her, the dying young woman imprisoned in the small dark room was none other than Asuna, who was now being searched for all over the world in the Void Empire. G. Evans.

Although she did not die, her mental condition was clearly not good, and the injuries on her body were too severe. With the level of medical equipment and doctors in this secret stronghold, Asuna can only barely sustain her life, but with the deterioration of those injuries on her body, I am afraid that it will not be long before she will be truly without a doctor.

And it was precisely because Asuna was dying that Greine seemed so flustered.

"Is there anything I can do to stop her injuries from getting worse?" After a while of scolding, Greine finally calmed down, "Don't talk to me about finding a priest from the Temple of Life!" Is there any other way to do this!? ”

"Kidnapping a priest from the Temple of Life?"

The green tendons on Grace's forehead rose, and he strode up to the thin young man, and slapped him to the ground directly: "Can you use some brains?" Kidnapping a Temple Priest? Can you think of such a thing? I'm talking about drugs! Are there any medicines or potions that can cure her? ”

"There is a potion that should ......," said the thin young man, with some timidity, "but...... There are no ingredients here, if I want to mix them, I need to go out and get the ingredients and potion recipes, mainly because I have never mixed this potion, so I ......"

"Damn it!" Grann cursed, "Get out of here now, I can't arrange a guard for you." ”

"I, I ......"

"I don't think there's any need to put any guards for him, not many people will care about him anyway." The legendary powerhouse glanced at the thin young man, and then spoke, "If you arrange for guards, it will be easier to attract the attention of others. …… The current royal capital of Ryan is not so peaceful, and those hounds of the Void Empire have already run here. ”

"You're right." Gran exhaled heavily, "Then you should go back quickly." ”

"Good...... Okay......" The emaciated man got up, and quickly left the underground stronghold.

In a corner of the manor in Emerald Castle, there was soon a sound of a mechanism loosening, and then a doorway appeared in the ground, and a thin young man cautiously poked his head out to scan the surroundings to make sure that no one was there before quickly crawling out of the doorway.

After leaving the cave, the man turned and walked into the green forest road of Emerald Castle, then came to a wall, and after groping for a while, finally opened a movable door, and walked out of the movable door. In a short time, a thin young man stepped out of an old alleyway in the royal capital of Lane, which was almost three streets away from Emerald Castle.

Today's royal capital of Ryan is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and there are almost no people on the streets, even those shops. Occasionally, a few pedestrians walked down the street, all of them coming and going in a hurry, and most of them went to places like rice shops or butcher shops to make purchases, but looking at the rice shops and butcher shops standing outside several large men who seemed to be mercenaries, you can know how chaotic the law and order in the royal capital of Lane has become now.

The thin man didn't pay any attention to this, he just walked quickly and low, and soon came to a dilapidated house.

Open the door, enter the house, close the door.

After a sound of footsteps, the man came to the second floor.

At this time, it seemed that a sound was heard, and a sound similar to a struggle suddenly came from a bedroom on the second floor.

A twinkle in the thin man's eyes flashed as he walked to the bedroom, twisted the handle and entered the room, then glanced at the person on the bed in the bedroom.

It was a man who looked exactly like a thin man, the only difference was that he was being tied to the bed at the moment, with a rag in his mouth, preventing him from calling for help and screaming. Seeing the door open and a man who looked exactly like himself walked in, the thin man on the bed had a frightened look on his face, and he struggled hard, and his mouth let out a whimper of unknown meaning, as if begging for mercy.

The thin man standing in the doorway paid no attention to the man tied to the bed, he simply reached out and wiped it on his chin, and then lifted a light mask of human skin that covered his face, revealing a face that was not even a little immature: he might not even be twenty years old. It can be said that this person, who can probably be called a teenager, is completely different except for the fact that his figure is somewhat similar to the thin man on the bed.

This is a pretender!

As the pretender revealed his identity, the cowardly and humble aura of his body quickly vanished, replaced by a shrewdness and ability.

He rubbed his cheek, where Grace had been slapped before, and quickly took out a small box from the corner of the room, and then took out a slightly worn sticky note with many formulas written on it, apparently a potion recipe. Immediately afterward, the boy wasted no time, and he searched for some other tools from several other places in the bedroom, including potions, test tubes, and some materials written on sticky notes.

After finding these things, the boy quickly packed them all up, and then took out a small notebook and quill, and began to sketch something on them quickly—if Grein could see them, then he would know that the boy was completely mapping out his secret stronghold.

It can be said that since the teenager left that secret stronghold, Greine's hiding place has ceased to be a secret.

It only took the boy about a few minutes to draw the map, and he also wrote down the defenses in the secret stronghold of Greine.

When all this was done, the boy put the thin mask back on, and his whole aura changed again to that humility and cowardice, and he quickly picked up the package that had been arranged beside him, and then left the bedroom.

After a while, the sound of the house door locking was heard.

As if sensing that the person posing as himself had left, the doctor tied to the bed began to struggle frantically.

"It's useless." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the room.

The doctor was startled, and cold sweat broke out of his body in an instant.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the source of the sound, and saw a seductive woman from nowhere, slowly walking to the desk, and then picking up the notebook left by the man who pretended to be him.

The doctor couldn't see the specific situation, he could only hear the sound of the notebook flipping, but for some reason, the moment the woman's voice sounded, he couldn't move, completely dominated by fear.

Soon, the woman finished flipping through the notebook and muttered dissatisfiedly, "What a trouble." …… Fortunately, I came here in person, otherwise it would be half a month later when I sent it back, so how could I have so much time to waste. ”

Hearing this, the doctor only felt his heart stop suddenly, and then he saw the woman turn around.

A name flashed through his mind, and the fear in his eyes grew stronger.

The young woman walked slowly to the doctor's side and smiled, "Do you know why he could kill you, but didn't?" Ignoring the doctor, the woman continued: "That's because, ah, his disguised identity is you, an ordinary person without any combat ability, so if he kills you, his body will be stained with blood, which will expose his identity." ”

As the woman's words fell, her right hand reached her waist, and then she drew a pitch-black blade.

Dark.

The doctor tied to the bed struggled frantically, but no matter how he struggled, he could not break free, and finally could only watch Alexis slash his sword through his throat.

A streak of blood splattered out, and in an instant, there was blood in the bedroom.

Alexis didn't retract the blade, but closed the notebook and sped straight into the air, galloping away in the direction of the Emerald Castle.

At this moment, the entire king was alarmed! (To be continued.) )
