At the same time, at the entrance of the abyss on the ground, hundreds of mercenaries gathered at the entrance of the valley, in groups of three or five, and there was a lot of discussion. ※, more ~ new ~ most ~ fast!www.※

Not far away, is the interception level set up by the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group.

But now, the horses in the middle of the road have become scattered fragments, and a group of thunderstorm mercenaries who show off their might and domineering are lying on the ground at the moment, all of them bleeding. Some of them, who were not injured, hid like quails, and did not dare to say a word.

And the cause of this qiē was a team of knights guarding a heavy carriage.

A few minutes earlier, the carriage had driven into the valley. When this group of short-sighted thunderstorm mercenaries stopped the carriage as if they were intercepting the others, the other party didn't say a word and fought fiercely. Only two or three knights, with their bare hands, knocked over a dozen thunderstorm mercenaries to the ground.

Originally, these thunderstorm mercenaries were not without strong people. Not to mention anything else, just say that Schwartz, who came not long ago, is a famous knight of light. As soon as many mercenaries saw this guy there, they stopped at a distance, unwilling to go up and touch the mold.

His subordinates were beaten, and Schwartz naturally wanted to come out. But just as he was about to make a move, a woman stepped down from the carriage and glanced at him coldly.

Then, Schwartz and a few other high-ranking knights swallowed back all the scolding that had rushed to their lips, and their footsteps quickly stopped. It looks like a lamb of a tiger that you only see, for fear that if you take a step forward, disaster will come.

The carriage stopped right next to the huge entrance. The woman and the sturdy knights under her command had disappeared into the billowing black smoke. Seeing the tragic situation of the thunderstorm mercenary group, the mercenaries were gloating.

"Yes! These things bully the soft and fear the hard. ”

"Look at that Schwartz guy, haha, doesn't he look like a scareless pestilence?"

"The wicked have their own grinding. Someone should have taught them a lesson a long time ago. But who are you talking about those guys? Even the people of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment dared to beat it. ”

"What is the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment? If you meet someone more powerful than them, they're a bunch of shrunken turtles! Didn't Lord Scarlett go in before this woman? And those guys in black, who do you see they intercepted?"

"Lord Scarlett, don't talk about it, who are those guys in black?"

"I heard that it seems to be a dark executioner. ”

Sizzle. There was a gasp all around. The name. It's like some kind of taboo, which makes the lively crowd suddenly become quiet.

After a while, one of them said, "Hey, if you want to talk about it, this woman is not simple. Look closely, and look at the footprints by the carriage. Hey, did you find out?"

"What, what?"

"Footprints! Stupid! Woman's footprints! Don't you see that when the woman got out of the carriage, the carriage was a lot lighter?"

"yes. I found out too. When the carriage came in, I thought it was carrying an elephant, and the ruts were so deep. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a woman. She looks slim. ”

"Of course one person doesn't weigh that much. The heavy weight was the knife on her back. ”

"Knives, what knives? Why do I only see a hilt. I was still wondering...... Wait, the handle...... I think of someone, is she, the hand of the blood demon......"

"Hey, isn't that her. ”

"Oh my God. She even came. ”

No wonder Schwartz saw her like a mouse sees a cat. ”

"It's lively. ”

The crowd was talking.

I'm still at the entrance to the valley. Most of them are low-level mercenaries of some small mercenary groups and some freelancers who are not strong, and the main purpose of everyone here is to try their luck, see if they can enter the abyss, but it is not too important.

After seeing so many legendary characters, and seeing with his own eyes the thunderstorm mercenary group that intercepted him, he was deflated. All of them were elated, foaming at the mouth.

These gloating voices naturally reached Schwartz's ears.

However, just when he was angry in his heart, wondering if he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. Suddenly, a terrifying voice sounded in my ears.

"Oh my God, you see. ”

Schwartz turned his head to look, his pupils suddenly constricted.

I saw that the black mist at the entrance of the huge abyss at the bottom of the valley was disappearing rapidly. In just a few seconds, it dissipated.

And the huge hole shrouded in black mist also shrank rapidly like a healed scar on the earth. A moment later, the giant cave, which was more than three kilometers in diameter, had completely disappeared. Where it used to be, it was just an ordinary piece of ground.

There are rocks, trees, flowers, and even a stream.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that this was where the entrance to the abyss was located.

At this moment, all the sounds were gone. Hundreds of mercenaries were dumbfounded, and the entire valley was as dead as a tomb.

...............

...............

Sitting in the office, Ling Xuan held her chin and looked out the window, thinking about Roy, who had just reunited.

That guy is still alive!

If it weren't for the fact that Roy had already been declared a heretic by the Holy See, she would have rushed home right now to tell her parents the good news, and at the same time bring it to her two younger sisters who were far away in the imperial capital and were preparing to participate in the competition of the three major academies.

I don't know how he's doing now.

Ling Xuan thought.

With his own understanding, Rondello is a very steady and reliable old mercenary who has explored the abyss many times and has rich experience. And the rest of Rondelo's squad is also good. With such a team, Roy should have no problem finding the Abyss Dragon Root.

However, the only thing to worry about is the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group.

Ling Xuan frowned. This notorious mercenary group is the best at doing some despicable things behind the scenes. The high-level management of the mission hall has removed the Thunderstorm mercenary group several times, but the final result has been abandoned due to insufficient evidence or various reasons.

This makes the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group more and more rampant. In the south of the empire, their existence has been severely affected by the order of the mercenary world.

This time, Roy and the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group clashed directly. The Thunderstorm Mercenary Group and the Ice Star Mercenary Group are currently in a well-known hostile state, which means that if they encounter each other in the Abyss, a life-and-death battle is likely to break out between the two sides.

Ling Xuan stood up with some uneasiness and walked back and forth in the room.

The abyss ruins have become the hottest topic at present. No one knows who left the ruins. are those who have a long life. The terrifying demon who finally sank to the bottom of the abyss is still a strong man who explored the abyss thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.

And in addition to demons and humans, there are also elves and giants who ruled this continent before humans. Although these races have declined and even disappeared into the long river of history, they have also given birth to many amazing and brilliant characters.

If the site belonged to one of them, how precious it would be. And today, when human beings were driven by the demons to redeem the continent, if they can get the inheritance of these strong people. How lucky it will be.

Now, the major forces of the empire are all moving on to the wind. If it weren't for the fact that the ruins were located in the territory of Saint Solan, Ling Xuan believed that even the forces of other empires would have arrived.

However, after all, the news has not been around for a long time, and at present, only the local forces of Lulian and some mercenary groups based in the south can enter the abyss to explore.

The building near the water is the first to get the month. The host of this exploration is none other than the Mission Hall of Muni City.

A well-known mercenary group that has contact with Ling Xuan on weekdays. This time, I did my best. The ones sent are the most elite squads. Everyone rushed to get ahead of the Imperial Capital and other forces. Complete this exploration and take the ruins into your hands.

In the past few days, Ling Xuan, who is the director of the mission hall in Muni City, doesn't know how many mercenary teams he has personally sent away. For the results, I am also full of expectations.

But now, these bastards of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment. But he's dragging himself back!

Soon after sending Roy away, Ling Xuan received news that the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group had blocked the entrance to the Abyss. Many of the mercenaries who rushed behind were blocked from the entrance. I heard that several people have been killed in the clash with the Thunderstorm Mercenaries.

For this. Ling Xuan immediately sent a deacon and a squadron of mission hall guard knights to Qingshui County.

But until now, the news has not come back.

Looking at the time, Ling Xuan was a little anxious. It stands to reason that after such a long time, there should be news coming back.

Could it be that there was an accident ahead, or that the Thunderstorm Mercenary Regiment dared to defy the world's condemnation and brazenly attack the guard knights of the Mission Hall?

Soon, Ling Xuan shook her head and dispelled this speculation. The Mission Hall has a unique position among mercenaries. Don't look at the mission hall itself, it doesn't have much power, but as long as you raise your arms, there will be countless mercenary groups to declare war on the thunderstorm mercenary group!

For mercenaries, it is unthinkable to have no mission hall. That would be the destruction of their lives. But there is no thunderstorm mercenary group, I'm afraid it is what many mercenary groups are happy to see.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mission Hall strictly abides by neutrality and does not interfere in the affairs of the mercenaries, I am afraid that some people would have been looking forward to the leadership of the Mission Hall for a long time.

Wait.

Ling Xuan walked to the bookcase, took down a book, and was just about to turn two pages, when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor......

Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment, and before she could come back to her senses, she saw that the door of the room was pushed open violently. A deacon, who was usually steady and gentle, rushed in in a panic uncharacteristically.

Ling Xuan chuckled in her heart, and an ominous premonition emerged. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Miss Ling Xuan, something has happened," the deacon reported, "Our people have sent back news that the entrance to the abyss has suddenly closed!"

Ling Xuan's heart tightened, and she said hurriedly, "When is it?"

"Just now!" replied the deacon.

Ling Xuan frowned.

It wasn't a strange thing that the entrance to the abyss was closed, and almost every few years, the black smoke shrouded entrance vanished.

According to the personal experience of many people and the research of scholars, the occurrence of such a situation usually means that a large-scale cloud storm will erupt inside the abyss. It's not long, it's usually just three to five days. It feels like a self-cleaning of the abyss world.

Maybe the demons living in it will suffer, but it will have no effect on the Avalon continent.

But why, now?

You know, now in the abyss. But more than forty of the most elite mercenary squads. Coupled with some strong men who went on their own, the total number exceeded eight hundred.

These people are the wealth of the empire. Many even joined the rabble and played a significant role in the defense of Lulian. Once there is a loss, whether it is for the mercenary world, for the major mercenary groups or for the empire. It's all a disaster!

Of course, things don't necessarily go in the worst direction.

Ling Xuan knew that the further down the abyssal cloud storm was, the more powerful it became. And on the second layer, the scale of the cloudstorm is not large. If you get to the first layer, you don't have it at all.

This means that if something is wrong and retreats to the first layer in time, most people will survive.

But. Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the deacon had already immediately reported: "Besides, we just got the news that the two guys who reported the ruins ......"

He paused, struggling to swallow.

Ling Xuan asked, "What's wrong with them?"

"Dead ...... ...... dead," the deacon stammered, with an almost eerie fear on his face, "he was burned alive by the flames in his body." Scorched black ......"

Ling Xuan only felt a buzz in her head. It's a blank slate.

Faintly, the deacon's voice seemed to be far away in the sky: "Eyewitnesses all say. These two men were tempted by the Demon King! Now, the news has spread. ”

Ling Xuan held on to the table so that she didn't let herself fall.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Abyss Demon will always live in the Abyss, forbidden and unable to descend on the continent. It was a creature from another world that had nothing to do with itself. All kinds of legends. Most of them are just people's fiction and fantasies.

However, those who really know the demons of the abyss know how terrible this thing is.

The stronger they are, the more intelligent and cunning they are. Meantime. The stronger their desire to get out of the shadows and into the Overworld.

If it was just the closure of the entrance to the abyss, Ling Xuan would not have been so frightened, but at this juncture, the bizarre deaths of the two mercenaries who discovered the ruins of the abyss pointed to a legendary terrible fact - the trap of the devil!

The Devil's Trap is a little-known secret story that has been recorded by all major races.

It is said that more than 10,000 years ago, a group of demons tempted and controlled several human mercenaries who were exploring the abyss, planted demon seeds in their bodies, and then used them to release information to the outside world about the discovery of the treasures of the abyss, luring a large number of mercenaries and strong people to explore.

Humans have no way of knowing when the Abyssal Cloud Storm will appear, but the demon has a strong premonition of such a catastrophe in the abyss. It was during the time when the entrance was closed that these demons slaughtered the powerhouses in the abyss, and broke through the prohibition in one fell swoop with their strong qi and blood, and descended on the continent.

It was a bloody history. Over the course of twenty-three days, the Abyssal Demons attacked six towns and cities, killing more than two hundred thousand people. In the end, it was the strong men of the major races who worked together to encircle and suppress these demons to exterminate them.

And if the reaction of the major races at that time was a little slower, and it dragged on for a while, and when the abyssal demons became the climate, I am afraid that there would be no need to wait for the invasion of the demons, and the human race would have already perished.

It is said that it is because of that painful memory. Humans called the race that invaded later the demon race. In fact, the demons and the abyss demons have nothing to do with each other at all.

More than 10,000 years have passed, and such historical secrets have long been forgotten. Only a very small number of people who deal with the abyss have heard of it. Naturally, as the head of the mission hall, Ling Xuan, who must be proficient in all aspects, and the deacons under him are also one of them.

"Report it to the main hall immediately," after a moment of distraction, Ling Xuan quickly forced his brain to activate, gritted his teeth, and said, "At the same time, contact the Grand Duke's Mansion and the major mercenary groups, convene the mission hall guards, and issue a summoning letter to all the super mercenaries in the Lulian area......"

.........

.........

A bar called Parrot on Brave Avenue in Muni City was already full of people. The boss and a few of his fellows were receiving the sergeant's hearing with a sad face.

In front of the messy bar, one can see two burnt bodies that are not human. Or two piles of black ash to be exact.

The flames did not affect the others, not even the stool on which the two of them were sitting was not damaged in the slightest. But these two people were burned like this. This made everyone shudder a little while talking about it.

The witnesses in the crowd were recounting the terrible scene with trepidation.

In their description, the two men were drinking at the time. While telling people about their adventures. As the only survivors, they discovered the Abyssal Ruins and were rewarded with a large sum of money from the Mission Hall, and everyone envied their good fortune.

Just as they were talking happily, all of a sudden, black flames burst out of their mouths and noses. The crowd was terrified. And the two of them didn't know it. Almost in the blink of an eye, flames enveloped their bodies.

There were no screams, no struggles, and after a few seconds, the bodies of the two men collapsed like weathered sculptures.

"This is the temptation of the demon king," said one of the people in the crowd, "they must have been deceived by the demon." ”

"Yes!"

"Did you hear that, the entrance to the abyss is closed. ”

"Oh my God, ......"

"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense. We Lulian won't be so unlucky!"

"Look, the Grand Duke is here. ”

The crowd separated. Everyone watched Adolf, who had a solemn face, and walked into the tavern accompanied by several lords.

"It's the breath of the Abyss Demon. That's right. Fano crouched on the ground, examined the two piles of black ash, and nodded heavily to Adolf.

"Report it to His Majesty Edward immediately," Adolf turned to leave, "and issued an emergency martial law." Evacuate all residents within a 30-kilometer radius of Qingshui County. Mobilize the Muni City Guard, the Firebee Hall and the Bavarian Knights. Surround Shimizu County, just in case!"

"Yes!" Fano replied, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Roy......"

Adolf's face became more and more ugly. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "We can't help him now." Still, I'm sure he'll be fine. This kid's life is very hard. Heavenly punishment has not been able to do anything to him, and he will definitely come back alive this time!"

...............

...............

The news of the closure of the entrance to the abyss and the mysterious death of those two mercenaries had spread far and wide in a very short period of time.

Everyone was shocked by the terrible news. Streets and lanes. There was a lot of talk everywhere. The merchants didn't care about doing business, and they talked to the customers, and the mercenaries gathered in groups in the mission hall with solemn expressions. The aristocratic gentlemen prepared their cars and went out one after another, looking around.

The city of Muni, which had been quiet for a long time, was running at high speed like a war plane.

Bands of heavily armed knights were seen leaving the camp first and heading south. Riding spears like a forest, iron hooves knocking on the bluestone slabs of the street, endlessly. One by one, the cavalry with the herald flag on their backs galloped back and forth. The sound of officers' commands, shouts, and the neighing of war horses came and went.

And after the knights, there are teams of infantry. They are more numerous and slower. After a few prayers, the long procession continued to pass through the south gate, which had been under martial law, and under the watchful eyes of pedestrians, they rushed to the south like a long dragon.

The evacuation of the area around Shimizu County has begun. Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, it has become a forbidden area that can only be entered and exited. The inhabitants of each town, led by their lords and with the help of the army sent by Adolf, set out on their way to the north.

The long convoy and the silent walking people are like long dragons, winding and swimming across the vast land.

Most people don't know what's going on. But they all understood that it must be a catastrophe that they could not resist.

For them, it is painful.

You must know that as a war zone, and even one of the main war zones, the people of Qingshui County have had enough of living a life of displacement during the two-year war. Many died by the butcher's knife of the Freeltes, and many fell on the way to flee.

Now, I finally hope for peace, return to the garden, and just a few days of peace, disaster struck me again.

However, since it was an order given by Grand Duke Adolf, everyone had to obey it.

For this beloved Grand Duke, everyone is grateful from the bottom of their hearts and does not want to cause trouble to him.

They are used to this life. The journey away from home again was also in good order. Just walking and walking, they will look back. Attached to his half-built house, the crops in the field, the vines that have climbed the shelves......

"Shall we go back?" said a little boy sitting on an ox cart, looking up at his father, his voice crisp.

A smile appeared on my father's tired face.

"Will go back," he said, patting his son on the head and turning his head to look in the direction of home, "just like before, our knights will defeat our enemies." No one could stop us from going home. ”

"You promise!"

"I promise!"

A letter falcon, skimming over the heads of father and son, flew along the long line of refugees for a while, then flew over the forest and hills, towards the southwest of the entrance to the abyss.

Looking down from the air, in addition to Lulian's army, there were countless knights hurrying to the direction of the entrance to the abyss. They were dressed in different costumes, with the insignia of different mercenary groups pinned to their chests, and they were in a hurry, and their eyes were anxious.

And in the direction they were heading, the silent valley, like the center of an invisible, but terrifying storm, was quietly accumulating strength.

The atmosphere has become more and more tense...... (To be continued.)
