Chapter 185: White Flag and Black Blood
Li Yunfei frowned, and his eyes already had a fierce killing intent in his eyes.
Originally, although he was extremely well-known in Roland City, it was normal for some people not to know him, but from the officer's reaction just now, this person clearly deliberately pretended not to know him.
Who is this man, and why is the officer who was guarding the west main gate not there?
At this time, after everyone behind Li Yunfei saw the ballista on the city wall, they were all stunned, not knowing what was going on, and they all looked at Li Yunfei, hoping that their adults would make a decision as soon as possible.
Li Yunfei's original interest was gone, he took a deep breath, looked up and said, "Who are you? Let today's city guard come to see me, he will naturally understand whether I am a spy or not." ”
"You're just a spy, what qualifications do you have to meet the city guards? Get out of here! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will be unkind! Annihilate all of you spies under the city gates!" the fat-headed and big-eared officer said scoldingly, but there was obviously some dodging in his eyes.
"Very well, since you don't understand me, then I'll go up and tell you myself. The corners of Li Yunfei's mouth raised, and he said with a sneer, the muscles of his whole body tensed instantly, and he had already mobilized the power of the giant, and he was about to rush to the city wall.
"What do you want to do!? If you dare to act rashly, I will ...... immediately," the officer didn't expect Li Yunfei to be not afraid of his threat at all, and said angrily.
It's just that before he finished his sentence, he saw a figure on the city wall suddenly rush over with a team of soldiers, and shouted: "On the orders of His Highness Piller, arrest the traitor!"
As soon as the words fell, the figure had instantly appeared behind the officer, and with a swing of the sword, a huge head rose to the sky, rolled down from the city wall of dozens of meters, and fell to Li Yunfei's feet with a "poof".
Listening to the chaos on the city wall, shouts and screams, and the sound of weapons colliding quickly came, and after a while, the chaos subsided, and a head poked out from the city wall, and said happily to Li Yunfei: "Lord Earl! Are you back!? You are really still alive! Come in! Open the door!"
This person is the captain of the city defense army that Li Yunfei knew in the Giant Siege War before! This Mike once followed Li Yunfei for a period of time after that battle, and later returned to serve in the city defense army, and because of Li Yunfei's support and his own combat record, he has been promoted to the position of captain of the thousand-man team, but he did not expect to appear here.
With Mike's order, the huge gate of the west main gate slowly opened, revealing the scenery inside the iron-blooded Roland City.
"Enter the city! Assemble near the city wall!" Li Yunfei ordered with a wave of his hand. Luke, Pol and the others immediately led the team of nearly 20,000 people towards Roland City.
Li Yunfei did not enter through the city gate, but jumped forward, stepping on the gap in the city wall step by step, like a projectile came to the city wall in a blink of an eye, smiled slightly, and said: "Mike, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's going on?
At this time, on this section of the city wall, the officer and dozens of soldiers were already lying on the ground, and more soldiers were kneeling on the ground, tied up and taken prisoner by the city guards wearing the same clothes.
Looking at the interior of Roland City, I saw that the city that should have been very energetic seemed a little too quiet at this time. Many of the villages and towns near the city walls stood a series of striking white flags, which were embroidered with the emblems of the burning blood drops of the Iron Blood-Blooded Roland City, but they were all black.
Hearing Li Yunfei's words, Mike's face instantly became solemn, and he said with a little excitement: "My lord, you are finally back! Great, great! Now Roland City needs you! His Royal Highness Piller really needs you so much!"
"What the hell is going on? What about the Grand Duke? Has he changed his style? Why did he get so many white flags?" asked Li Yunfei.
Mike's face darkened, and he said, "Grand Duke...... The Grand Duke ......"
Li Yunfei grabbed Mike's shoulder and asked sharply, "What's wrong with him!?"
"Grand Duke, he's gone......" Mike said slowly.
"What is gone!?Where did you go!?Did you pass away?!" Li Yunfei asked with a shocked face, and the unconsciously exerted force in his hand, grinning Mike's teeth in pain. Could it be that the Grand Duke of Roland had died!? How could this be! He could not believe the fact that the elder, who was so kind to him despite his heroic deeds.
"The Grand Duke went to the wilderness and did not die......," Mike said with difficulty, holding back the pain, "My shoulders are about to break, my lord......"
"It's my rudeness...... Li Yunfei was shocked at this time, immediately let go of Mike, and asked eagerly: "What the hell is going on? What is the Grand Duke doing in the wilderness? And these flags with black flowers on a white background are clearly mourning flags......
Mike rubbed his shoulder, which was pinched by Li Yunfei, and looked at Li Yunfei's hand with palpitations, and then began to talk in detail about everything that happened during Li Yunfei's absence.
After the half-position interview of Azeroth began, the high-level management of Roland City has also been watching the process of the trial. Later, I didn't expect to encounter the collapse of the half-plane, and the Golden Emperor City sent an urgent notice, and after the teleportation array was opened in a very short time, all those trialists were teleported back. It's just that Li Yunfei didn't come back with everyone, so many people thought that he had died in the half-plane.
Grand Duke Roland and Master Yanbo and other high-level officials of Roland City naturally would not give up easily, and tried their best to find it, but there was no result, the entire half-plane had been completely closed, and it was impossible to enter at all. Later, Grand Duke Roland and other people who were friends with Li Yunfei were very sad for a while. However, at this time, Grand Duke Roland's cold disease flared up again, and even the fire demon marrow could not suppress the cold that invaded his heart and lungs.
He knew that his days were numbered. After judging his physical condition, Master Yanbo and the priests of the temple concluded that Grand Duke Roland had only ten days left to live. The next time a cold attack occurs, it will be when he dies completely. And if you want to cure his cold disease, only the legendary holy medicine, the quicksand of time and the fountain of life, can be cured.
As a generation of heroes, Grand Duke Roland naturally would not wait for death on the sickbed, and on the same day, he immediately made a decision to go to the wilderness to find the legendary holy medicine Time Quicksand and Fountain of Life. After arranging the aftermath that day, he left Iron-Blooded Roland City alone and entered the territory of the giants. These two elixirs are said to only exist in the depths of the giant's territory, somewhere called the Valley of Chaos. Archduke Roland went, it should be there.
At that time, he also left a suicide note, if he did not return within ten days, it means that he has died in the wilderness, and then let Pierre inherit the throne of the Grand Duke and become the next Grand Duke of Roland.
“...... It is said that there is a place in the wilderness, far, far away, two years from the human territory, there is a spring, called the Fountain of Life, drinking a sip of spring water can heal all injuries and make people young again......" Li Yunfei's mind suddenly remembered what Grand Duke Roland said at the farewell dinner before he had a place interview.
He still had a few drops of the Fountain of Life, but he hadn't even heard of the quicksand of that time......
Didn't you go into the wilderness and not come back...... A glint flashed in Li Yunfei's eyes, and his heart suddenly relaxed, he didn't know why, he felt that Grand Duke Roland must not be dead now, and it was likely that he was still somewhere in the wilderness......
"How many days has it been since the Grand Duke entered the wilderness?"
"It's been more than twenty days now...... Mike said with a worried look at Li Yunfei.
More than twenty days have passed, and according to the suicide note left by the Grand Duke of Roland, Piller should have succeeded to the throne. Believing that his father had just left Roland City and that it was too inappropriate for him to inherit the throne as Grand Duke, he decided to hold the succession ceremony in two months, and at the same time sent invitations to all the giant cities of mankind to watch the ceremony.
"When the Grand Duke left Roland City, His Royal Highness Piller was so grief-stricken that he fainted several times and became much weaker. However, His Royal Highness Bernie has become much more active, and has been in and out of the mansions of various nobles......" Mike looked at Li Yunfei's face and said slowly.
It is precisely because of Bernie's activity that Piller's body has problems again, coupled with the fanning of some well-intentioned people, there are some unstable factors in Roland City at this time. When Grand Duke Roland was there, with him, the iron-blooded Grand Duke, in charge, some Xiaoxiao who had ideas in their hearts naturally didn't dare to do anything. And now that there is no constraint from Archduke Roland, many ghosts and ghosts have jumped out. Even in the city defense army, Bernie's men intervened. The person who dared to stop Li Yunfei from entering the city just now, and even wanted to attack him, was Bernie's man!
Of course, Piller himself has a will left by the Grand Duke of Roland, and he is the eldest son, and he also has the support of many people loyal to the Grand Duke, so the two sides have been secretly having some friction and fighting during this time, and even in the city defense army, they are also divided into two factions. And many more people are taking a wait-and-see attitude at this time, and have not made it clear which side they support. It can be said that if the succession ceremony is not held for a day, the undercurrent of Roland City will surge for a day.
This friction has intensified in the past two days, and although Peeler is ill, he understands that the most basic control of the four main gates of the city wall must be achieved, so he directly orders Mike to kill Bernie's man who controls the west main gate. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Li Yunfei back.
Hearing this, Li Yunfei couldn't help frowning, his relationship with Peeler was also very good, and he knew a little about Piller. Piller is a swordsman, not the kind of person who will fall ill from grief casually, there must be something wrong with this!
I didn't expect that the situation in Roland City had reached this level now, and it seemed that it was really time for him to come back......
"What about Old Yanbo, even if the Grand Duke dies, with him in charge, can those people with ulterior motives still set off any waves?" Li Yunfei suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked Mike.
"Master Yanbo, he's an old man...... The day after the Grand Duke left, he went into the wilderness to look for the Grand Duke, and he said that he was really relieved to be ...... Grand Duke," said Mike.
"Nonsense!" Li Yunfei said with a wide range of eyes, but then sighed and didn't say anything more.
At this time, Roland City needed him to take charge, although the approach of Master Yanbo was wrong, but after all, he and Grand Duke Roland had been old brothers for many years, and it was understandable that he had this impulse......
"You're doing a good job, keep on your guard. Li Yunfei patted Mike's shoulder, nodded in encouragement, and then jumped down from the city wall and came to the assembled crowd.
"Let's go, to the county of Rollin!"
Looking up, in the Roland Giant City, there were fluttering black and white blood-burning flags, with a murderous aura!
