023 Ancient Capital, Princess, Ultimate Trial

"Let's go!" Chen Fan pulled Li Xiang and ran towards the inner side of the Shadowstream Fjord, the Dreadful Ghost Face was not the kind of extremely aggressive calamity, it had been spreading fear towards the battlefield, assisting those alien attack fortifications, and when they broke through the last line of defense, then the two of them would be dead.

Li Xiang nodded silently, and finally looked at the human warriors who were still fighting bloodily, as well as Wei Sangsang who was standing against the wind and showing a beautiful smile.

Although there was a whole epoch between him and these warriors, this did not prevent Li Xiang from admiring this group of lovely people.

Even when they died, they still got up again and again to repeat the last battle, continued to kill the enemy, and waited for the day when fate would be freed.

"It won't be too far, I assure you. Li Xiang ran fast and no longer looked at these Loulan warrior projections.

As if anticipating this, a heavily armed steam locomotive waited quietly at the rear of the Shadowstream Fjord.

Li Xiang jumped into the driver's seat and skillfully started the locomotive, and after Chen Fan got on the car, the two of them went further inland without looking back.

The sky was overcast, and it wouldn't be long before this base shattered and was swallowed up by darkness.

According to Wei Sangsang, Loulan is the last extinct human base area, so they still have the opportunity to go inland to have a look, after all, the invasion of calamity must also start from the periphery.

There is also a similar war map sand table in the steam locomotive, and at this moment, many of the outer headquarters are eroded by black shadows, and the black is still spreading inward, and I am afraid that it will soon go further inland.

With this map, they also have a new direction - the ancient capital of Loulan.

It was the core of this base area, and it must have been an important intelligence point at the time of Loulan's demise, and if you want to know more about this human era, you must go there.

"Li Xiang," Chen Fan took out a cigarette and lit it quietly, "Do you think we will be like Loulan, and we will end up empty." ”

"No, because I promised them that it would end in this era. Li Xiang drove silently and said indifferently.

Bang!

Chen Fan gently hammered his shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "Why didn't I find you such a stinky fart before, you can be conceited and proud, but it is impossible to refute." ”

"This ...... Probably the mission I came here for. Li Xiang hesitated, was silent for a moment, and slowly retold him about his previous life.

It's not a big secret, but it's still too shocking to say.

To be reborn as a time-traveler means to use the power of ethereal time and space.

Chen Fan was terrified when he heard this, and his hand holding the cigarette was trembling.

It took him a long time to digest the information.

"You...... Is it really from the Blue Star period?" Chen Fan heard that the guy with the same name as himself, as well as the entanglement with Li Xiang in his previous life, he couldn't believe it, if that person was Chen Fan, what was he?

Reincarnation or reincarnation?

"Yes, of course, it could have been a dream when I woke up. Whether it's the Blue Star, or the parallel universe of the so-called Blue Star of our Seven Continents, or just my dream, I don't know. I can only say that now I am here, it is Li Xiang in front of you, and this is something that even the all-knowing and all-powerful Bai Lili does not know. ”

Li Xiang turned his head to look at him,

"Everything in my previous life is all over for me, and that's just why I recognized you in the first place and chose to be friends with you. Compared to that experience, I cherish my current life even more, Naruo, Notomi, you, and many friends. ”

"Amazing, I don't know if it's good to say envy, or if you're nervous, it's okay anyway, no matter how you choose, I will stand by your side as your best friend, and I won't watch you kill yourself like the so-called previous life. Chen Fan grinned widely.

"Me too, I won't choose to run away anymore, someone wants to destroy my life and hurt the people I cherish, even if it's a god, I'll kill you!"

Li Xiang suddenly raised his head, his eyes shooting directly into the gloomy sky.

The steam locomotive traveled along the map sand table, often passing by the headquarters that had long been washed by xenoblood, and the corpses of countless human warriors were scattered around, and the smell of corpses was overwhelming, like the end of the world.

Several times, Chen Fan couldn't wait to jump out of the car to save those soldiers who were dying and still fighting, he served in the military department, and studied at the military department university for another year, and he had great respect for these fearless soldiers.

Compared to the current top-down Fǔ Bài of the military department, he prefers this kind of simple predator.

Li Xiang is very calm, and will always stop the hot-headed Chen Fan at the most critical moment, the goal of the two is to complete the trial, get more card fragments, and get all the cards in exchange for rewards, and improving their strength is the king.

After killing the fat man, Li Xiang finally gathered a calamity card.

The greater the pressure and the more critical the situation, the calmer Li Xiang became, this is his fighting style, looking for vitality in desperate situations, and completing the turnaround in adversity.

The steam locomotive slowly drove into the outer circle of the ancient capital of Loulan, and only by approaching here could you see a little bit of the thriving human city, and at the last edge that he had just crossed, all the waves of xenomorphs were blocked by life.

Human life here is peaceful, and the towns of the outer circle are home to countless adventurers and warriors, who rest, entertain, and resupply here, and then wait for the time when they are energetic to fight again.

In addition to the official army of Loulan, the most are the adventure groups organized by the people, and many strong people do not like the rules and regulations in the army, so they will form adventure groups to assist in the battle and profit from it.

This style of survival is very similar to the situation of human cities in the current Seven Continents.

It's just that the Seven Continents are much more prosperous and powerful than Loulan, and the human race has completely blocked the Calamity from the outside with just a Great Wall of Calamity that stretches on the Seven Continents.

The humans on the inside can barely see any of the creatures from the Calamity faction.

In Loulan, if you don't want to fight, you can only wait for death.

Seeing that it was the locomotive of the headquarters outside, the crowd of onlookers gave way one after another, allowing them to enter the ancient capital smoothly.

"Parking, checking. The guards pointed their guns at them.

Li Xiang and Chen Fan jumped out of the car, and several guards immediately surrounded them, while others brutally inspected the locomotive.

"Hey, that troop is here?" the leader of the guard tapped Li Xiang's chest with a gun, and his tone was not good.

It's not what they imagined.

"E-1004 Unit Commander Li Xiang. ”

"E-1987 Unit Commander Chen Fan. ”

"Tsk, commanders of the two border guards, why are you two the only ones who have returned from the front? What about the adjutants, and what about the others?" the head of the guard scoffed, "I guess you didn't escape." ”

"You're the one who escapes!" Chen Fan was furious, his violent temper was just a little bit, not to mention that he usually hated this kind of person who didn't work and ate white rice.

"Pay attention to your tone, Commander Chen Fan!" The leader of the guards slammed into him hard, and then suddenly hooked his left hand towards Li Xiang, spreading his palm, "Hey, it can't be that you have been outside for a long time, and you don't know the rules of the ancient capital, right?"

He hooked his hand again.

This time, Li Xiang understood.

This is clearly asking them for money.

Whether they dare to escape and come to the ancient capital or come to the ancient capital depends on the mouths of this group of guys.

Click-

Li Xiang didn't say much, and directly broke his left arm.

"Since this hand is not used for fighting, it is not of much use to keep it. ”

As soon as Chen Fan's anger went down, he saw this scene and couldn't help but be speechless, it turned out that this guy's temper was much bigger than his own.

The leader of the guards screamed and was about to shoot at them, when a girl's shout came from inside the door.

"Stop!

Ai Yakumo trotted all the way over and angrily scolded several guards: "What are you doing around the commander?"

"They are fleeing, and we are executing ......"

"I'm Yakumo Ai, a staff officer of the Ancient Capital Garrison, and I'm officially taking over the investigation of these two people, why are you not convinced?" Yakumo Ai raised her eyebrows, and the essentia gun on her back slid into her hand, "You guards are qualified to convict the commander?"

"No, no, how dare we!" the leader of the guards stood aside with a smile, the ancient capital garrison was currently the most powerful force, and none of the guards he belonged to dared to disobey their orders.

"Let's go, two commanders. Yakumo kept a straight face, and only showed a sly smile when he missed the two.

The steam locomotive could only be parked outside, and Li Xiang and Chen Fan followed Yakumo Ai into the ancient capital, and were instantly shocked by the prosperity inside.

"I'm stunned, it's the first time I've come, and I almost thought I've entered the home of a family valve. Yakumo Ai glanced at the countless magnificent buildings around her, and said lightly, "The facilities and buildings here are not much better than the top families outside, but unfortunately they are only a paradise for a very small number of people. ”

"Compared to the outside world, this is truly a paradise. Li Xiang sneered and looked at the towering city walls on all sides, "If you dare to use human resources like this, why do you want to fence them up? Is it because you are worried that the warriors outside will know that no one is willing to die for them anymore?"

"Hehe, I saw a proverb from the Blue Star period in an ancient book, what is Zhumen wine and meat...... That's what you're talking about." Chen Fan was disdainful, no wonder even the guards were so unbearable, this so-called last gathering place of human beings had already rotted inside.

Poor periphery command soldiers, one by one, unknowingly fighting for this group of people.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. If this is a reincarnation projection, then the goddess of calamity is too good for their batch of moths. Chen Fan took a sip.

"I thought so at first. Yakumo sighed and slowly narrated to them.

It turned out that in this trial, everyone was arranged with different identities, Li Xiang and Chen Fan were the front-line commanders, and Yakumo Ai was a staff officer of the ancient capital garrison, and he also learned the truth about the reincarnation era from the mouth of the ancient capital.

"In other words, the goddess of calamity did not deliberately hide the truth from us when she set up this sitcom, she was more inclined to let us act in Loulan as a trialist. Li Xiang analyzed, "After all, the first goal is still to fight against the Calamity camp. ”

"Yes, that's why we were all distressed at first, and we couldn't even go in and out of the ancient capital at will, how could we fight the xenos?" Yakumo Ai frowned, and then smiled bitterly, "But it's only been a day, and we know how wrong we are. Because xenomorphs not only exist outside, but also exist in the ancient capital of Loulan. ”

"Here, there are still humans disguised as them?!" Li Xiang was shocked, and immediately recalled the group of xenos he met in Hou Cheng, they had a certain consciousness under the manipulation of Ghost Wuqi, and they were already able to blend into the human group and live.

"Yes, and our target is these xenos. The current ancient capital of Loulan is divided into two major factions, the aristocratic faction led by the cabinet ministers, who are the backbone of the current ancient capital, and the emerging faction led by Princess Loulan, who hopes to reshape Loulan. ”

Speaking of Princess Loulan, Yakumo Ai's face became a little strange.

"You said 'we' just now, and there are still people we know here?" Li Xiang asked.

"Hmm...... Xiao Lie is in the guard, the boss of the group of bastards who stop you, like me, ostensibly a person from the aristocratic faction, but in fact belongs to the emerging faction of the princess, but there are also trialists who choose to join the aristocratic faction. Yakumo spread his hands and said helplessly, "Or maybe most of the trialists will choose the noble faction." ”

"Of course, the destruction of Loulan is a sure thing, our goal is just to get card fragments, and it is no good to go against the aristocratic faction, no matter how you look at it in the ancient capital, the aristocratic faction has the advantage. Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders, he was not stupid, this kind of power struggle could be seen everywhere in the military department, "By the way, the two of you would actually choose that Loulan princess? This princess is a milky girl when she hears it, a fantasist, although I admire her very much......"

"Princess Loulan...... It's Ji Wanqing. Yakumo Ai suddenly opened her mouth and gave him a blank look, "Her identity is Princess Loulan, of course, those trialists don't know." ”

No wonder Ai Yakumo and Rytsui Amakusa will choose to help the princess without looking back!

Chen Fan was dumbfounded, eager to swallow back those words just now.

"I'll tell Wanqing, you think she stinks, utopian. Li Xiang laughed, Chen Fan's face darkened, and he hurriedly said kind words to the two, for fear that Ji Wanqing would really know.

Yakumo loves to raise her eyebrows, she knows that this short-tempered guy must be cleaned up by Ji Wanqing.

"Well, when you get to the palace, don't speak. The aristocratic faction disliked the soldiers from the front, after all, it always brought the worst news. Yakumo Ai gestured to them and signaled to silence, "I will arrange for you to go to see Wanqing in my personal name." ”

......

At the same time, the ultimate trial.

This time, the ultimate trial was arranged in the North Continent, where the Shield King was located, and was run by the Gormo clan of the Shield King's family.

Outside the referee's bench, the Nedley family.

Garl Nedri sat in the crowd in a red gown, quietly staring at the large light curtain in front of her.

"Miss Garr, isn't it appropriate to arrange for Miss Poyeus to go directly to the ultimate trial this time. One of the attendants looked down and asked, wearing the uniform of the Nedri family, a rare member of parliament with a foreign surname.

"She's my daughter, what's the problem?" Garr sipped his wine, "I promised her that if she killed Ogro, I would fulfill one of her requests. The original bet was for a year, but it only took her a few weeks to do it, such a small request, should I refuse her?"

That night, Yu Zhitong carried Ogro's head and bathed in the rainy night, which was one of the most beautiful scenery she had seen in recent years.
