Chapter 181: The Beginning of the Conflict
Repression!
Boundless dull and oppressive atmosphere!
What frightened the captain of the guard even more was the team behind the young man in the Xuan robe, if he closed his eyes, he would even feel that these people were not a group of living people at all, but the Grim Reaper who crawled out of the Nine Hells! This group of Grim Reapers, coldly wiping the deadly scythe, not making noise, not intimidating, as long as the Demon King led by gave an order, they would vent all the bloody killing intent in their bodies!
Can't offend, must not offend!" There was only one thought left in the guard captain's heart, he didn't know the origin of Ling Feng and the others, but he knew that he must not offend the dignity of this team. Otherwise, there is only one way that awaits you - death!
But if he took it back, it would not only hurt his face, but also damage the dignity of the Firmament Fortress! When it was difficult to ride a tiger, a panting voice came from behind him: "McEntter, what's going on here?"
As soon as he heard this voice, the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Sheriff, this group of people wants to enter the city, claiming to be here to participate in the Battle of the Firmament, but look at their mounts!"
Running with the voice was a fat white man, dressed in a loose robe, with a face covered with oil and sweat, and he really didn't look like a well-trained soldier. But anyone who is familiar with the Firmament Fortress will not underestimate this fat man named Dorok.
Due to the perennial stationing of the armies of the Aoro Empire and the other four kingdoms in the Firmament Fortress, the armies of these major countries may be able to live in peace on the surface, but secretly they are constantly filthy, and disputes often occur. In addition, due to the special position they occupy, the major forces have also stretched out their palms to the fortress in order to grab huge profits, resulting in chaos here.
As a sheriff, Dorlock is responsible for the peace of the fortress, and in order to do this, the first thing that needs to be done is to settle these large and small forces, so that the disputes between them can be eliminated. Luckily, Dorok has been on duty for many years and never seems to have had a major mess. From this alone, you can see the means of this fat man.
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand casually. In an instant, the guards almost thought that it was their own delusion, and how could the team in front of them still have the slightest momentum that was almost suffocating? They sat loosely on the black beasts, and occasionally laughed at each other, looking even more unbearable than the smugglers who used to haunt the fortress. And the face of the young man in the dark robe was still peaceful, although there was still not the slightest joy or anger in him, but the sense of majesty like a majestic mountain disappeared without a trace.
What's going on?
Dorlock was shocked!
His eyesight was naturally not comparable to that of the guards, and although the Blood Guards behaved very badly, he could clearly see that no matter how frolicking the Blood Guards were, the Black Beasts they rode kept a fixed distance from each other and did not move!
Fixed distance, if I guessed correctly, they maintained this distance to make it easier for them to shoot, and evenβkill! If it weren't for their own coincidence, it is likely that none of the many guards guarding the city gates would have been spared.
Once something like that happens, Dorok can also think about his own fate, and he can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
What shocked him even more was Ling Feng's performance, this young man just sat quietly on the Black Teng Beast, but naturally he was high up with an aura that made people feel surrendered for no reason, such an momentum - even from Prince Qin Zheng, he had never seen it!
Unable to help but bend down, Dorok asked respectfully, "Lower official Dorok, I don't know which principality your lordship is from? β
"The Duchy of Star Blue. Ling Feng didn't want to embarrass such a little person, so he casually reported his origin.
Dorok was shocked and looked at Ling Feng in surprise: "I don't know what adults call them?" His fat body trembled faintly with excitement.
"Ling Feng!"
Boom, this name seemed to set off an invisible storm, and the city gate was detonated in an instant, and an exclamation came out: "He is Ling Feng, the first person of the younger generation?"
In an instant, I don't know how many eyes converged on Ling Feng!
McEntt was even more dumbfounded and speechless, looking at Ling Feng with half panic and half reverence in his eyes, for these soldiers who often fight, only the strong are worthy of respect! And Ling Feng in front of him is undoubtedly a well-deserved strong man!
After the news of the battle with Qin Zheng, Ling Feng's reputation resounded throughout the Oro Empire, and then even more good people revealed Ling Feng's great achievements in injuring Bi Feng, a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, which made everyone even more convinced of Ling Feng's strength. Everyone knows the truth that all the ants under the Holy Domain are ants, this Ling Feng can hurt the Holy Domain, and his strength is definitely the best level!
It wasn't until Ling Feng fought against Heng Chong that Ling Tang Sword Saint was willing to admit that his swordsmanship was inferior, and Ling Feng became famous on the mainland for a while! So much so that Qin Zheng's praise was completely deformed, and Ling Feng confirmed the title of "the first person of the younger generation", and covered up Qin Zheng's limelight, which was something that Qin Zheng, the initiator, never expected.
It was only when Frozen City and Yeluo City were so busy fighting that the forces that were closed to news would not have heard of Ling Feng's legendary deeds. However, even if someone told them, before they saw Ling Feng with their own eyes, they would not believe that a mere five-star master could establish such a prestige in just half a year.
Dorok suddenly realized that it was Ling Feng, no wonder he could have such momentum!
His posture was a little more humble: "Lord Ling, please come with the lower officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed the lower officials to be careful about serving the team of the Star Blue Principality on the first day he came to the Sky Fortress. These short-sighted things, when they saw the black beast, they scolded indiscriminately, almost offending adults. β
"Oh, is there anything else that this black beast is so particular about?" Ling Feng vaguely guessed a few points.
"Exactly, the Black Beast is agile and is often a must-have for smugglers who go out to the fortress to buy goods privately. The smugglers, who were cruel and mercenary, caused great trouble to the fortress and hated the merchant guards. "Dorok is exquisite, and he did a good job of dispelling Ling Feng's bad feelings towards the Sky Fortress, and explained the actions of the guards.
Finally, he asked curiously, "All the teams that come to participate in the Battle of the Firmament will be equipped with good horses, I wonder why the adults chose these Black Teng Beasts?"
"Oh," Ling Feng said lightly, "I met some blind people along the way, and after sending them away, I saw that these black beasts were interesting, so I took them casually." β
"Heh, ahem. Dorok's face froze, not knowing what to say, so he coughed to cover it up.
Although he hadn't seen it in person, he could easily guess that it must have been those smugglers who had made a move towards Ling Feng and the others, and as a result, stealing chickens and rice had failed. To be able to engage in the trade of "smugglers", excellent deployment of force is indispensable, which is why they can bring so much trouble to the fortress. Listening to Ling Feng's tone, these teams were completely like clowns jumping off the beam, and they were not worth mentioning.
In particular, the Black Teng Beast Divine Horse that Ling Feng and the others were riding on was very, obviously not an ordinary smuggler could be equipped, so it was conceivable how the strength of the merchant who had lost in their hands was. All this made Doro's evaluation of Ling Feng and the others in his heart rise by a few levels.
The paving of the roads in the Firmament Fortress is mainly concise and generous, and there are few complicated and gorgeous places, which reminds Ling Feng of the end of the clouds.
Seeing Ling Feng looking around with interest, Dorok explained diligently: "In the early years, the orc clan repeatedly violated the border, resulting in a lot of wars, and even the Firmament Fortress was destroyed four times in history! Fortunately, in recent years, due to the convening of the Firmament Battle, there is a channel for each other to vent their feud and contradictions, and the orc clan rarely thinks of aggression. He still said with a sigh of relief: "Judging from some records, when there were wars in the past, there were even strong people in the Holy Domain! Once they attacked, no matter how strong the city wall was, it would collapse in an instant, and some fortifications would not have the slightest effect at all. β
Ling Feng nodded, I don't know when an unspoken rule began to appear in the Divine Death Continent: when there is a war in the Pan Continent, the Sacred Domain powerhouses are not allowed to interfere at will! The reason is that the lethality caused by the Sacred Domain powerhouses is too great, which can easily upset the balance. Therefore, generally speaking, the Sanctuary exists as the ultimate deterrent force, and rarely directly participates in wars, unless the country is facing a situation of life and death.
After chatting casually for a while, Ling Feng found that perhaps because of the result of not having a big war for many years, the fortress was calm and peaceful, and there were many merchants along the way. The soldiers stationed in the fortress were paid a higher salary than anywhere else, and they had nowhere else to spend, so they naturally ended up in the hands of these merchants.
Over time, the fort has created a particularly strong commercial atmosphere.
"Here, my lord, in front of you is the residence specially arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the Xinglan Principality. Dorok pointed to a mansion in front of him, "Now the major principalities and forces have sent teams to participate in the Battle of the Firmament, resulting in a very dense population and insufficient housing, and many small forces can only go to the inns in the fortress to live. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arranged for the Star Blue Principality early, and your residence is next to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and the treatment is no less than that of any kingdom!"
"Thank you to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for helping me. β
As he got closer, Dorok was about to say a few words about the lively atmosphere when he suddenly noticed the scene in front of him and froze. In front of it is a row of double-detached houses, the area is very large, at least 3,000 square meters, it can be regarded as very spacious, but now the two houses are clearly inhabited.
"Hey, isn't this Sheriff Dorok, you've come just in time, we, Lord Tulon, have been complaining that we can't buy good wine here, and we're sending me to ask you for advice. A young man in a white robe walked out of the courtyard on the left, and the young man was dressed in a white robe with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking heroic.
