Yi Xuan's army was marching out, and the mighty team meandered through the vast wasteland, with no end in sight, and this time there were thousands of players participating in Yi Xuan's conquest team. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is not the end, Yang Kai also fulfilled his promise, the hordes of barbarian warriors followed behind the player team, there were more than five hundred people, the tall barbarians and the primitive costumes on their bodies made it easy to distinguish them from those well-armed players, they carried stout stone hammers, huge machetes, making the whole team look more diverse and more combative.

As with every expedition, Yi Xuan led his Knights of the Holy Light and the camp convoy, walking at the front of the team, and the neat uniforms made their team look very classy from the front.

Yi Xuan rode on the silver horse, looking at the vast land in front of him with a serious expression, he could only use this seemingly calm appearance to hide the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart for the past few days. Because this time he was delaying too much

In order to upgrade to the sixth-level template, in order to help Yang Kai defeat the frost troll, in order to gather more players, and in order to get the bloodline card he wanted, it seemed that all the delays had a reason, so that after half a month of separation from Zhao Beifeng, he set out on the journey to the Dark Tower again, Yi Xuan's heart was a little apprehensive, which was a little different from what Zhao Beifeng had agreed at the beginning.

"Lao Yi, what do you want?" At this time, Yang Kai overtook the team and caught up, originally he had been leading the barbarian team forward, and after walking for a while, he found that there was no problem, so he came up and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yi Xuan

"Why are you here?" Yi Xuan saw that it was Yang Kai, although he was very happy in his heart, he was worried about the discipline of the barbarians.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it all to Wren, what about you? With a bitter and bitter look on his face, how many years have the landlords and rich peasants been defeated. Yang Kai asked jokingly.

"Ugh." Speaking of this, Yi Xuan couldn't even smile in response to the joke, sighed, and his face became even more gloomy.

"Is there really something?" Yang Kai saw that he was interested, and immediately brought the horse's head closer, and asked mysteriously: "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

There is no need to hide this matter from Yang Kai, he turned around and looked at it, the two of them were their own cronies, and Yi Xuan whispered: "I am worried about Zhao Beifeng's state, in fact, half a month ago, he was already very critical, and he may have been turned many times in the past half a month." ”

"Don't worry, can't he be resurrected, I haven't heard of any dungeon boss really killed by the player, the dungeon doesn't have it, as long as there is no NPC to kill him, won't it be fine?" Yang Kai comforted with a grin.

"Nothing? Do you remember what I told you about memory problems? You were still teasing me when we first met. Yi Xuan didn't relax, and asked with a sinking face.

"Memory? Are you saying that Zhao Beifeng will be injected with new memories? ”

"More serious than that, is the original memory disappears, every time he dies, his memory will disappear a little, the last time I saw him, the overall feeling I gave was very dark, this gloom is not only the environmental factor, but also from him himself." Yi Xuan said, recalling the last time they met, Zhao Beifeng's appearance, and Zhao Beifeng even attacked him at that time. Although the attack stopped after recognizing him, at that moment, Yi Xuan felt that Zhao Beifeng's whole person seemed to have become unfamiliar. Recalling that memory, Yi Xuan suddenly had a not-so-good premonition about this journey

Yang Kai was also silent at this time, the original memory disappeared, and new memories were injected, he was no stranger to all this, that feeling was really not pleasant, if it was really according to what Yi Xuan said, every death was accompanied by the loss of memory, then it was really a little uncertain how Zhao Beifeng was now.

Just when the two of them were very dignified, several players in the direction of progress curiously approached. "Excuse me, where are you going?"

A player stood on the side of the team and shouted to Yi Xuan and Yang Kai and asked, Yi Xuan glanced up, but it was just a few small characters, and he didn't even bother to say anything, and walked over directly.

Those players saw that there was no response, but they were not disappointed, after all, Yi Xuan is still an NPC, and this reaction is very normal. The players immediately focused their attention on the player troops behind, and after waiting for the mighty cavalry troops to pass, the player teams behind were immediately revealed, and several people followed, found a priest who seemed to be easier to talk to, and asked with a smile, "Hey brother, where are you going?" ”

The priest squinted and glanced at them up and down, although there were only five or six people, but the level was okay, they were all thirty-one and two, anyway, attacking the shadow power, the more personnel, the better, and immediately replied, "Go to the Dark Tower, we are going to do the plot mission, do you want to come together?" ”

"Is that okay? You don't have to take on tasks or anything? "Those players immediately came to their senses when they heard this, recently the copies of the Eastern Plains have disappeared almost overnight, and if you want to find a copy, you have to go to the bitter cold wilderness, where the copies are difficult to do, not to mention, the rewards are not necessarily rich, they are worried that there is no place to upgrade, I didn't expect such a good task to bump into.

"You don't need to pick it up, it will be triggered automatically when the time comes, you just need to choose your side." A player who had followed Yi Xuan to several story missions explained. Those people were overjoyed, and while following them forward, they carefully inquired about what had happened.

In fact, along the way, Yi Xuan's team was like a huge snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and there were already hundreds of players like them who joined halfway. It made Yi Xuan's team look a little thicker than when they first left the Savage Lands.

Although Yi Xuan's team was long enough, the road was even longer, looking at the endless plains ahead, the journey seemed to never end, the sun gradually turned west, gradually coinciding with the horizon, and the sky slowly dimmed.

Yi Xuan looked ahead, and was about to find a place to set up camp, but at this moment, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from the road ahead, and it looked as if someone was riding a horse and galloping, and the other party was coming quickly, which made Yi Xuan frown.

"What's up ahead?" Yang Kai also discovered the abnormality, but the team of thousands of people behind them now, although it was strange, they didn't take each other seriously, and the team was still moving forward unhurriedly.

The smoke and dust approached, and they could see it clearly, a team of more than a dozen fast horses, "It's the people of the empire." Yang Kai was the first to understand the other party's origin, he was really familiar with the imperial robes, the speed of the horse team slowed down, and stopped in front of Yi Xuan and Yang Kai.

Immediately took the lead, bent slightly to Yi Xuan and Yang Kai, and saluted, "Your Excellency, I have been ordered by the commander to come to inquire, you are leading so many people, I don't know where you are going, what are your intentions?" ”

Although it was an inquiry, the cavalryman's tone was very respectful and polite, and it sounded very comfortable, this was an additional effect brought by Yi Xuan since he was upgraded to the sixth-level template, and all the NPs beat him with an attitude that obviously became respectful, and it was really an official who crushed people to death.

However, Yi Xuan is not a person who loves Desser, although he is an NP, he also respects me, and he nodded slightly on the horse as a courtesy, and said politely: "We are going to the Dark Tower to conquer the evil Shadow God Cult." ”

After hearing Yi Xuan's words, the man's face immediately showed a happy expression: "It turned out to be the Holy Light Knights who conquered the Shadow God Cult, our chief has great respect for you, so please come with me, my chief has prepared a camp and a place to stay for you, let us come and comfort your army."

And this good thing? Yi Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this, this was the first time he had encountered this situation, NPC took the initiative to help, although it was a good thing, but Yi Xuan's heart was faintly uneasy, even NPK was involved, and now the prestige of this Holy Light Knights seemed to be much greater than before, Yi Xuan suddenly felt that things were a little out of his control. Still, he nodded, and followed the man in the direction they had come, and the large group followed.

Half an hour later, when the sun had finally disappeared on the horizon, the dusty expeditionary party finally came to the outside of a building in the middle of the plain.

The shape of this castle made of stone is still quite rough, but it already feels very intimate to see it in this wasteland, this castle is the stronghold of the empire here, there is a small garrison, several bunkers for defense, and there are basically all kinds of blacksmith shops and shops around the castle. At the same time, there are also many players leveling up in this vicinity, although Yi Xuan has been here to brush dungeons before, but he still doesn't know much about the surrounding terrain once he walks around.

At the location designated by the patrolmen, Yi Xuan arranged for his camp cars to be stationed, while he, Yang Kai and Mary were invited to the welcome dinner that the chief had set up for them in the castle, and followed the knight who led them here all the way through the castle gate and the city square to the city lord's hall, where a banquet was already waiting for them.

Said to be a banquet, according to the living conditions at that time, but there was not necessarily any delicacies, Yi Xuan and they smelled a fragrant smell of barbecue as soon as they entered the hall, and Mary, who had been a vegetarian for a long time, immediately began to swallow her saliva. The tall banquet hall is resplendent in gold, the European-style candlestick chandelier is complex and luxurious, all the candles on it are lit, and the room is illuminated as if it is daytime, and the long table is already full of delicacies, roast chicken, roast meat, bread slices, wine, and beautiful flowers decorated in the middle, making these foods lacking seasonings look scorching, Yi Xuan can't help but feel a little itchy.

"Welcome to Fort Glory, I am Sir Lexa, the commander of Fort Glory, so are you His Excellency Yi Xuan, the elder of the famous Knights of the Holy Light?" Yi Xuan and the others had just walked into the hall, and immediately someone came out from inside, introducing themselves loudly, and bowing to Yi Xuan and them.

Yi Xuan and his entourage hurriedly bent down to return the salute, this Sir Lexa was wearing a gorgeous aristocratic costume, it could be seen that he attached great importance to this banquet, seeing that his speech and demeanor were extraordinary, Yi Xuan also had a good impression of him in his heart.

"Hello, Sir Lexa, I am Yi Xuan, the elder of the Holy Light Knights." Yi Xuan replied politely. "Thank you very much for your warm hospitality."

"It is an honor to be able to serve the Knights of the Holy Light." Sir remained polite and replied with a smile on his face, though it seemed a little hypocritically polite. Yi Xuan and his party stood awkwardly in place, waiting for Sir to let them take their seats, but they didn't want Sir to continue: "It's just that I heard that you are going to lead volunteers to attack the Dark Tower, I don't know if I am lucky enough to fight side by side with you, I very much look forward to joining this expedition that is destined to go down in history." ”

System Prompt: Sir Lexar was inspired by your heroic deeds and wanted to join your expeditionary force, did you accept it?

Yo, there is such a good thing? Send food, drink and troops? Yi Xuan was a little carried away by this surprise, and subconsciously wanted to accept it, but suddenly his heart moved, and he thought of another thing, when he and Zhao Beifeng agreed that he would lead the army to attack the Dark Tower, and Zhao Beifeng deliberately released the water, and in the end, he and Zhao Beifeng went head-to-head, and then Zhao Beifeng deliberately lost to him, so that he could arrest Zhao Beifeng, but after that, Zhao Beifeng would arrange someone to rescue him. Although all these arrangements seem simple, there will always be many variables, such as what if the player desperately resists when someone comes to save Zhao Beifeng? For example, what if this Sir Lexar comes out to stop it? The player's variable, Yi Xuan, has already figured out a solution, and when the time comes, he will find a way to dismiss the player, or do something else, after all, the player will still listen to him. But this Sir Lexar is not so simple, as an NP and a local commander, he is likely to act according to his own will, and will things still be able to go smoothly at that time?

It was only a brief hesitation, but Lexa sensed something. "What? Is there anything inconvenient? I thought that this kind of attack on evil would require as many warriors as possible. There was already a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Hearing him say this, Yi Xuan couldn't directly refuse, but Yi Xuan was the one who had experienced the wind and waves, and immediately thought of a solution.

"Oh, of course not, our team naturally needs warriors like you, but as a soldier, you should understand that in any war, if you want to win, you need many elements, the most important of which is the rigor of discipline, especially in the process of fighting against the Shadow God Cult, we need to unite as one, work together, and think in one place. You know, a strong warrior who doesn't listen to a command is not as good as an ordinary warrior who can follow a command. Yi Xuan emphasized the necessity while putting a high hat on Sir Lexar.

Lexa naturally nodded frequently: "You're right, undisciplined troops are a plate of scattered sand." ”

"Yes, yes, so of course I welcome you to join our team, but as a commander, once you join, you can no longer have your own will, everything must be aimed at fighting the shadow forces, and you must strictly obey my commands and orders, I really feel that you are too wronged by this." Yi Xuan's expression was as sincere as possible.

"Hahaha, what should I do?" Lexa laughed after hearing this, "Joining your Holy Light Knights, I naturally take your orders as the only standard of action, I have served the empire for decades, and I have absolutely no problem with obeying discipline, you can rest assured, if you become my commander, I will naturally obey your command, and there will be absolutely no objections." ”

Yi Xuan didn't expect that this Sir Lexar had already made all the mental preparations, and if he didn't accept it at this time, he would indeed be a little too much to say, so he immediately stretched out his hand and said loudly, "Then you are welcome to become a member of the Holy Light Voluntary Conquest Legion, Sir Lexar." ”

Lexa also put away his smile, shook hands with Yi Xuan seriously, and officially joined, the atmosphere suddenly eased, Sir Lexa immediately invited everyone to the table, Mary was the first to rush up, forked a piece of beef and put it in her mouth, muttering while chewing: "There are so many long-winded words, if you don't join, you won't let people eat it, right?" ”

Yi Xuan and Yang Kai sat down, although Yi Xuan was the boss of the Holy Light Knights, but after all, this was Lexa's territory, and Lexa was still allowed to sit on the main seat, and the two of them hadn't eaten such a hot thing for a long time, during the battlefield, all they could eat was cold and hard meat, so eating delicious food, everyone's atmosphere immediately became extremely harmonious.

After eating a few bites of roast chicken, although there are not too many ingredients, but the meat is tender and juicy, and it also makes people's teeth and cheeks fragrant, Yi Xuan took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and asked casually: "Sir Lexar, I'm very strange, if you leave the Glory Castle, then who will manage this castle?" ”

"Oh, that's not a problem." Lexa immediately said, "The Empire has sent a new chief here. ”

"Came to take your place?" Yi Xuan wondered in his heart, if this Lexa only had the idea of joining the Holy Light Knights today, then how could the empire act so quickly, but if not, could it be that he actually meant to join his own team?

Na Lexa did not hide it, lowered his body and pretended to be mysterious and said to Yi Xuan: "You can rest assured, I have no worries about joining you, in fact, this also means that the top of our empire." As he spoke, he winked at Yi Xuan slightly, looking like he understood.

Yi Xuan understood that this meant to represent the Empire's overtures, but he didn't expect the influence of the Holy Light Knights to be so great, and the faint worry from before immediately filled Yi Xuan's heart again.

"Have you heard?" Sir Lexar straightened up, grabbed a glass of wine next to him and took a sip, and said loudly: "Recently, there have been many visions in the Dark Tower, where adventurers have suffered heavy casualties, and a terrifying force is gradually awakening, this power is said to be very old, even older than the history of the Dark Tower itself. ”

"You mean the Shadow ......" Yi Xuan was about to answer, but was immediately stopped by Lexa reaching out, he looked around cautiously, as if someone was really eavesdropping on the side, and then finally said mysteriously: "There is gossip circulating, it is said that the power comes from the God of Shadows, and in the Tower of Darkness, there are subordinates of the God of Shadows." ”

Yi Xuan calmly grabbed the wine glass and took a sip, although his face was silent, but his heart was already turbulent. Has the power of the Shadow God revived? If this is said from the mouth of an NPC, then this thing is very true, because the player may still hearsay, but the memory of the NPC is basically placed in the system, so although it seems vague, it is actually absolutely possible.

"Impossible." Yi Xuan tried his best to relax his tone: "The Shadow God has long been struck by the Holy Light Knights, and there is only a little soul left, if you want to be resurrected, you must use other people's bodies, and this person has to voluntarily dedicate himself, and he has to go through a series of very complicated rituals, how can he be resurrected so easily."

Sir Rex seemed to be very dissatisfied with the news that Yi Xuan questioned himself, and immediately waved his hand and said: "You are right, when I heard this news, I was also very shocked, but to be honest, the person who told me this news is still very reliable, and it has already alarmed the upper echelons of the empire, so I think this matter is ** inseparable." ”

The reason why Yi Xuan said that was just to test the authenticity of the information, so he didn't care about opposing Lexa at this time, with a look of surprise and worry, although Zhao Beifeng's own identity was not concealed, many people knew that he was a member of the Dark God Cult, and his expedition this time was also carried out according to this reason, but he had never discussed the resurrection of the Shadow God with Zhao Beifeng, according to the plan of the two of them, the resurrection of the Shadow God should be something that would happen a long, long time later, But now these NPCs are suddenly saying such things, could it be that the system has made some kind of modification to the game's plot? If the God of Shadows is really going to be resurrected in the Tower of Darkness, then who is the one who presides over it all?

In the story they compiled, only Zhao Beifeng was the only one in the Dark Tower who was a quasi-shadow force, and it seemed that this matter was none other than Zhao Beifeng, but Zhao Beifeng didn't mention it at all last time. In other words, either this matter is groundless, or Zhao Beifeng did not act according to the plan of the two, so is this one of his plans, or is Zhao Beifeng the sect member who is controlled by the shadow body? Yi Xuan's mind recalled all kinds of strange scenes from the last time he saw Zhao Beifeng, and the worry in his heart was even worse

Lexa was very satisfied with Yi Xuan's reaction this time, it seemed that the information he said still frightened the elder of the Holy Light Knights, so he didn't stop talking, and continued: "And according to the report of the scouts under my command, now the alliance side also seems to have noticed something, those elven troops are gradually gathering, as well as orcs, dwarves and other troops, and now there is already tension around the Dark Tower, but our empire and the alliance do not dare to take action easily, once it is moved, I am afraid it will be a big war, At that time, both of us will inevitably lose, and even if we can win, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties, and then there will be no strength to continue to attack the Shadow God in the Dark Tower, and once the Shadow God is resurrected, it will bring unprecedented disasters to this world. ”

Yi Xuan didn't listen too carefully to what he said, but it probably meant that the people of the Alliance and the Empire were fighting around the Dark Tower, and everyone wanted to do it, but they didn't dare to do it, for fear of being stabbed in the back by the other party.

No wonder the Empire would let Sir Lexar join his expeditionary force, although his expeditionary force has some imperial colors, but on the whole, it is still a single neutral organization, and if such a force enters the Dark Tower, it is relatively less sensitive, so that the Empire will seize the opportunity.

In the next banquet, Yi Xuan was a little unate, and he was still worried about what happened to Zhao Beifeng in the Tower of Darkness, in fact, at this time, he could have used the battle of the Great Sage to teleport in to find out, but Yi Xuan was worried that if Zhao Beifeng really changed, he might be more than lucky, even if Zhao Beifeng was fine, it would be easy to teleport by himself, but it would take a lot of trouble to come back, and when the time came, it would delay the process, and after thinking about it, he still decided to proceed according to the original plan.

The night passed quickly, and the next day, the team of the Knights of Light began to move forward again, this time in addition to the players and barbarians, another well-equipped team joined in, these were the soldiers of the Glory Fort led by Sir Lexa, in order to avoid revealing their identities too much, these soldiers took off the robes representing the camp, although the discerning people could still see at a glance that they were from the Empire, but they were not so obvious in the ranks.

Fort of Glory is not too far away from the Doomsday Wilderness, the team has traveled for a day, and finally came to the edge of the Doomsday Wilderness, far away, you can see the iconic tower, Yi Xuan stood on the edge of the Doomsday Wilderness, staring at the Tower of Darkness, his heart was also covered with a layer of dark clouds like a tower

The Doomsday Wilderness is darker than before, and the overall atmosphere is completely different from when I came before, and this dark center comes from the Tower of Darkness, although the Tower of Darkness looked more gloomy in order to improve the horror effect before, but compared to the complete darkness at this time, it is definitely two levels.

The entire Dark Tower was covered with a thick layer of black mist-like substance at this moment, so that the Dark Tower could not see the details at all, and these black fogs transpired and condensed, forming a large dark cloud at the top of the Dark Tower, even in broad daylight, blocking the sunlight. Not only the Tower of Darkness, but the entire Doomsday Wilderness, the light became dim.

"What's wrong with the Doomsday Wilderness?"

"It's going to rain. Yin is so powerful. There was a lot of gossip in the player's ranks, and everyone seemed a little uneasy looking at this strange post-apocalyptic wilderness.

Yi Xuan didn't stay for too long, the more this happened, the more he had to face it, the team stepped into the shadows, Yi Xuan immediately found that something was wrong, the weeds on the ground had already withered, with a layer of lifeless black and yellow, and after walking a short distance, you could see some corpses that had rotted and only white bones left, and there was a deathly silence all around, not even a single bird, there was not a trace of the wind, everything seemed to be frozen, and the entire doomsday wilderness was as silent as the end of the world.

Yi Xuan raised his head and looked at the black clouds that were everywhere in the Doomsday Wilderness, as a person who could harness the shadow energy, he could clearly feel that those were not ordinary clouds, but were made of pure shadow energy. What kind of person can mobilize such a huge amount of shadow energy?

His heart sank, it seems that the matter of the God of Shadows is very likely to be true, Zhao Beifeng may really have a problem, but I don't know if this time the plan can be carried out smoothly, I hope he still retains a trace of reason and can cooperate with his actions.

After advancing in this dead silence for a while, the players behind Yi Xuan became more and more agitated.

"I said, why isn't there even a monster today? Isn't there usually the most monsters here? ”

"yes, I just saw one who was poking his head out from behind the rock, and it looked like he was frightened by something."

"What can scare these monsters, it's almost as good as being scared by them." Some scattered players are talking loudly, although there are no monsters, and the road ahead has become smoother, but this inexplicable sense of depression makes them feel very unhappy, and they vent it in this way of loud discussion.

They paid attention to the more superficial things, and compared to the problems discussed by the bosses of the teams over there, the issues were much more profound. Send you to see God looked up at the dark clouds in the sky for a long time, lowered his head and spat "I said, this time the plot seems to have changed a lot, you look at the dark clouds on the dark tower, I didn't have it last time, it seems that it is for the change of this Shadow God Cult, this time to be able to participate in such a plot, it is worth the trip." ”

Long Xingtianxia nodded, and said a little worriedly, "You're right, but to be honest, isn't this plot developing so big that we were looking forward to it from the beginning, but depending on the number of participants this time, if we want to benefit from it, I'm afraid it will become more difficult." ”

Sending you to God immediately came over: "Yes, so this time I think we should join forces, the strength of our two guilds is not bad, but according to the current scale, it is definitely impossible to eat alone, if we join forces, just us, the soldiers will fight one family, I tell you, absolutely"

Long Xingtian turned around and looked at the killing without forgiveness, the latter nodded slightly, if these two guilds are united, not to mention anything else, at least the death toll will definitely be reduced a lot, Long Xingtianxia nodded and said: "Okay, then it's decided." ”

As we got closer and closer to the Dark Tower, the line between day and night seemed to become blurred, and by the time we reached the foot of the Dark Tower, the surroundings were completely shrouded in a cloud of darkness, if it weren't for the dim light next to it, it was really like marching in the night, and there was darkness everywhere around, only when I looked into the distance, I could still see some sunlight in the place where the shadow was not covered, and this feeling was as if I was shrouded in an incomparably huge umbrella.

"Look, there's a lot of people under that tower." A sharp-eyed player shouted. In fact, Yi Xuan had already seen that under the Dark Tower, not far from the opposite direction, there was also a large army slowly moving towards this side, but looking at the color of the names on their heads, they were all red.

It's the people of the Union. A thought immediately popped up in Yi Xuan's heart, this is a bit unpleasant, I didn't expect the alliance to be mixed in, and looking at the black press, the number is not much less than his side

Is the other party friend or foe? Yi Xuan's mind was spinning, but he didn't order to stop advancing, what the team wanted was morale, if he stopped first, it seemed that he was afraid of them, so the army continued to march forward, and the two teams of people gradually gathered together.

The two teams arrived at the gate of the Dark Tower almost at the same time, standing opposite each other, and from a distance, Yi Xuan could clearly see the appearance of the hero who led the alliance team, only to see that this person had a handsome and somewhat bewitching face, pointed ears, elegant manners, and a golden armor, who else could it be if it wasn't Edward

Seeing Yi Xuan, Edward smiled leisurely, looking not surprised at all, the two horses were only five meters apart, and both of them stopped.

"You're here?" Edward Chong Yi Xuan said with a smile.

"You're here too." Yi Xuan frowned, but his tone was not so friendly, the two of them stood opposite each other on horseback, and the soldiers and players behind him and the heroes of their respective camps all lined up the battle formation, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
