The thirty-second day of the month of the god of calamity.

In two days, it will be Godless Day.

According to this calendar, there are three seasons and nine months in a year, each month of 33 days, a total of 297 days, and after these 297 days, three more days are added, so that the total year of the year is 300 days. And the three seasons and nine months are each given the name of a main god, the name of the god month, and the last three days of the year are not given the name of any god, so these three days are also called godless days, and some people call them gods go to the day.

In almost all parts of the world of Proz, godless days are public holidays, and everyone from the officials to the people can enjoy this rare leisure, put down their official work, and prepare for their own busy work. This feeling of groundedness and joy is enough to make people look forward to the arrival of this day some time before the arrival of the godless day.

But in the ancestral realm, this end of the year is very different from previous years.

Even the lowly servants could feel the panic and anxiety that the officials who used to be high in the world could not hide on their faces.

The news of the attack on Kalumbe's Divine Spirit, the officials who have enough weight in the ancestral realm, what they should know or what they shouldn't know, are already known.

This is not news that should be spread everywhere, but this fact is so shocking that the ministers are so frightened that they have to pee their pants, who can care about the principle of secrecy?

The first to send back the news was another team of convoys that walked through the trail, and they would choose to travel in a group at this time, which were basically caravans, and it was also a caravan to lose, if ordinary people saw the corpse fragments all over the ground, they would definitely speed up and escape, but the eyelids of the merchants were mixed, and the leader of the convoy recognized the clothes and armor of the imperial guards on the imperial side, and the imperial guards on the imperial side actually lay in the wilderness? The moment the leader felt a numb scalp - this matter was a big deal!

It must be pointed out that if it were in other Sakai, whether passers-by could recognize the imperial guards on the imperial side would not say it first, and even if they did, it would be difficult to say whether they dared to care or not. However, this is the ancestral realm, and those who grew up in the ancestral realm always have the opportunity to see the imperial guards, and the ancestral realm is the place where the empire was born, and the people are not only of the same clan, but also have long Mu Shuen, and their loyalty to the empire is beyond doubt, so this caravan didn't think much about it at all, and quickly got out of the car and searched carefully to see if there were any survivors.

The area where the convoy was attacked was not large, and after a short time of searching, there was actually a survivor.

Of course, it was not Landento and Nawutou who survived, and when they were found, one head in the east and one end in the west, well, the head in the east, and the body in the west, they were so dead that they could no longer die. The survivor was a crew member of one of the first trench cars to be attacked, and the cargo was knocked unconscious when the car overturned, and he was held down by the luggage in the carriage and could not move, only to hear some conversations between Langdento and the attackers in a daze, until the caravan came to the rescue, and he did not see the light of day until the caravan came to the rescue.

The first thing the survivor did when he woke up was, of course, to find him, and he remembered that when Landento spoke, he was fine, but when he heard the merchants say that he was the only living person, he was really scared and his soul flew. Fortunately, he calmed down quite quickly, and hurriedly asked the caravan to take him to examine the corpses one by one, and soon confirmed that the emperor and the other Wu Tou were not among them, and he immediately took off the badge of the imperial guard on the emperor's side and handed it to the caravan, and asked him to hurry to the nearest Jinli, and announced to the Chenchen that the Emperor was attacked and missing, and asked them to send someone as soon as possible, and he took a few strong men to stay behind and guard the scene, because he believed that no matter whose hands the Emperor fell into, only this scene could provide some clues.

When the merchants heard that it was actually the Emperor who had been attacked, of course there was another commotion, and they did not care about the goods, so they hurriedly unloaded the goods on the car, replaced the empty car with the best felt, one to the Zupol realm, and the other to the Kol first realm, and rushed towards the nearest Gong.

As soon as the ministers of the two realms heard the news, their first reaction must have been disbelief, but they all recognized the badges of the imperial guards on the emperor's side, and they almost urinated at that time when they thought that they were attacked and disappeared near the place where they were governed.

The brigade has more than 200 vehicles, this is still the vanguard, the poor trail has never walked so many cars, the head of the road as soon as he saw the trail and scolded the mistake, there were accompanying officers hurriedly shouted to open the way, so the convoy slowly moved forward, and the slaves behind were cutting trees and paving the ground, opening the way for the endless convoy behind.

The men and horses of the two realms arrived at about the same time, but before they could jump out of the car, they were scolded by the surviving imperial guard: "Stop me, let someone who can take care of things come, if anyone steps on the clue and harms the truth, the whole clan will be lightly beheaded!"

In normal times, a royal guard would not dare to speak like this to the minister in front of everyone, but there is such a great righteousness as the safety of the emperor, who would dare to speak back?

The ministers then cautiously walked up to the guard and listened to him tell what had happened. When they heard that the attack on the Rim Di might be the ancient creatures, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief - what they were most afraid of was that the Rim Di was attacked by local bandits, if this happened, as the local magistrates, their guilt would definitely not be able to escape, and now they were attacking the ancient creatures outside the law, then their responsibilities would be much smaller, anyway, the presence of ancient creatures in this place is a long-standing historical problem, and it is not the daily duty of the local magistrates to crusade against and rectify the ancient creatures.

Since their responsibilities were smaller, several retainers regained a little confidence in their words, and they all agreed that it was most likely that he was taken captive by the attackers, or that he was wandering in the wilderness to escape the attack. Immediately command his subordinates, form a circle from the circle out, and carefully trace all footprints. Originally, hundreds of carriages had already destroyed the rut footprints along the road, but since the attackers were ancient creatures and the existence of giant beasts, they must not have taken the lane, and they would inevitably leave traces that could not be buried by heavy snow.

Sure enough, from the place of the accident to the north, they soon found the footprints of a group of giant beasts, although intermittently, but all the way to the north, should be rushing to the eastern opening of the Gengugo Mountains.

Those ancient creatures are going to be taken captive to the land of no winter?

Thinking of this possibility, everyone felt a faint pain in their heads.

How could he be allowed to be taken captive by others?

It seemed a bit discouraged to say this, but except for the emperor's guard, everyone knew that in a wilderness with no roads, it was completely impossible to catch up with a giant beast that had escaped almost straight by relying on a horse. Therefore, in order to rescue the Cheeky Truth, it is necessary to follow the footsteps of the giant beast over the Gengugo Mountains and into the Land of Winterlessness.

It's not that no humans have entered the Neverwinter Lands, excluding those who have no intention of breaking into, who have entered the Neverwinter Lands, stayed for a while, and managed to return, there are also a hundreds, but they either broke in alone or were very lucky survivors, that is, there has never been an example in history of a large number of people entering the Neverwinter Land and surviving. Entering the Land of Neverwinter to rescue the Cheeks is destined to be a deadly operation before it even begins.

Of course, it is impossible to say for sure that the Truth has fallen into the hands of the other party, but everyone is a smart person—if they hadn't already succeeded, would the other party have gone so straight to the mountain pass?

In short, although the ministers had already concluded in their hearts that the truth had been lost, they invariably chose to remain silent, and they asked people to expand the search, chasing along the footprints of the giant beast, and at the same time using pigeons to fly to report to the ministers.

The pigeon envoy came back quickly—and the ministers were rushing here, but as soon as they heard that the Emperor might have been taken captive by the ancient creatures to the Land of Winterlessness, they immediately chose to turn back—and they wanted to organize elite soldiers and rush to the mountain pass to intercept and rescue the Emperor.

A day later, in addition to the Govergang Realm, the Zupol Realm and the Kol Frontier each sent out two elite troops, one was commanded by the Governor of the Realm, composed of local defenders, and the other was the troops drawn by the Frontier Commander to mobilize the troops drawn by the Frontier Legion, and the four roads were divided to chase north. This garrison corps belongs to the Ministry of Military Affairs in terms of establishment, and it is under the command of the superintendent and the Ministry of Military Affairs in action, of course, the head of the border is not moved, but the matter is related to the safety of the army, if the corps general does not know, it is better to say, since the head of the border personally came to the door to inform the matter, and asked for the transfer of troops, where did he dare to sit idly by?

The soldiers and horses of the four roads are far away from the land of no winter, and the momentum is naturally vast, but the future is really uncertain. The last time the Imperial Army entered the Land of Neverwinter was more than two hundred years ago, and even if there were still records of that year, the reference value was very limited. Moreover, the land of Neverwinter is vast, and it is still unknown who the creature who took the Soul away, and where it will go after crossing the mountain pass. In case something really happens, how many officials will lose their hats and heads, no one can guess and no one dares to mention it, in the history of the empire, it is not uncommon for a case to implicate a half-sakai official, so it is normal for the official in this territory to look panicked. There are even rumors that there have been accidents one after another, and all of them are fatal events, and the position of the head of the realm of Zhekan Kamu must be done to the end, if he is well, he may be able to lose his official position and save his life, otherwise, let's see if he can save his family's life.....

Interestingly, so far, why hasn't anyone wondered if it could be somewhere else?

Although the realm ministers already knew that Langdento was a revenant mage, they had never even heard of the spell of "transforming souls into souls and sealing the door of death", so how could they think of it. That's right, they have spell advisors by their side, but the revenant spell was once listed as a forbidden spell and had a bad reputation, and the mages of other departments generally have a very limited understanding of this spell, even if they have heard of this spell, they can't remember it for a while, let alone think that Langdonto would use this kind of dangerous trick on the noble and incomparable Cheek Di, and it actually succeeded.

However, although the Soul Truth has indeed been transformed into a soul, has this trick really succeeded?
