Even if the speed was not fast, by the evening, Ye Fan was already not far from the imperial capital Tianlei City, looking at the sky, Ye Fan was not in a hurry, but came to a nearby city.

The scale of this city is very large, although it is far less than the scale of super cities such as the imperial capital Tianlei City and Tianyun City, but it is also enough to compare with some first-class big cities, and the most important thing is that this city is only about three hundred miles away from the imperial capital Tianlei City.

Compared to the huge area of the entire Tianlei Empire, three hundred miles of land is already very close, and around Tianlei City, there are four such cities, which are the famous Four David Cities of the Tianlei Empire, and they are also the last line of defense of the imperial capital Tianlei City.

The Heavenly Thunder Empire has seen thousands of years, and it has been established and expanded in countless wars, so it also attaches great importance to its own defense.

On the border of the Heavenly Thunder Empire, there is a long border line, countless troops are stationed, and there are many military bases and fortresses, which defend the entire Heavenly Thunder Empire like an iron barrel, even around the Hengduan Mountains in the north, there are also a large number of troops, and steel fortresses like Fenglei Pass.

Inside this outermost line of defense, there are also some easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack passes like Tianyun Canyon, forming the second line of defense of the entire empire, and finally in the heart of the Heavenly Thunder Empire, around the imperial capital Tianlei City, there is also the last line of defense, which is the Four Great David City.

In each acropolis, there was more than one legion, and all of these armies were elite legions, not ordinary soldiers like the garrisons in ordinary cities.

The acropolis that Ye Fan entered was an acropolis located on the west side of Tianlei City, the name was Tianacropolis, because of its proximity to the imperial capital, the flow of people in each acropolis was also very large, which caused it to become very prosperous here.

It can be said that the imperial capital Tianlei City, together with the Four David Cities, has formed a huge economic circle, accounting for about one-fifth of the trade of the entire Tianlei Empire, which shows the prosperity here.

With the passage of time, the Four Davids City, which was originally only used for garrisoning and defense, has also become a prosperous big city, and when you enter the city, you can see some shops, restaurants, etc. everywhere, where all kinds of people gather, all kinds of religions and nine streams are all-encompassing.

Ye Fan casually entered a restaurant, and after ordering a few dishes, he sat alone at a table by the window, waiting quietly.

At this time, it was dinner time in the evening, so there were still a lot of diners in the restaurant, some of these diners were gorgeously dressed and had a sense of nobility, obviously some noble nobles and the like, and some were casually dressed, but they carried weapons with men, and they all wore mercenary badges on their chests.

The economy of the Four David Cities is prosperous, and it is close to the Heavenly Thunder City, so it is also a garrison for many mercenaries, who undertake missions here, or travel from various places.

There are a lot of people in the restaurant, everyone is talking to each other, and from time to time someone exposes some new deeds, this can be said to be a very good information distribution center, most of those mercenaries are also well-informed, and the conversation between a few middle-aged men dressed as mercenaries at the table next to them has attracted Ye Fan's attention.

"Hey, did you hear about it? The Red Leaf Mercenary Group had an accident last night. A slightly chubby mercenary said to the rest.

"Of course I heard about it, this matter is making a lot of noise, who of us in the Heavenly Acropolis doesn't know, the Red Leaf Mercenary Group is one of the top ten mercenary groups in the mainland, although it is only the lowest ranked one, but it is also famous in our Heavenly Thunder Empire, and their base camp is in our Heavenly Acropolis. Hearing the man's words, the other man immediately spoke.

"Yes, I don't know what forces the Red Leaf Mercenary Group has offended, I heard that last night's fight was very tragic, except for some high-level missing people, the rest of the ordinary members can be said to be wiped out, and even some of those who went out on missions were not spared. The other person also said with emotion.

Hearing the words of a few people, Ye Fan was suddenly shocked, but he knew that the Red Leaf Mercenary Group was independent on the surface, but in fact, it was supported by the Ye family behind the scenes, and most of the high-level Red Leaves were people from the Ye family, or strong people who were attracted by the Ye family.

Now that the Red Leaf Mercenary Group has suddenly had an accident, and listening to their meaning, the person who did it was obviously premeditated, but I don't know what the reason is.

"It's no secret that you know this, let me tell you, a distant relative of mine is on an errand in the Acropolis City Lord's Mansion, and I heard some top-secret news from him, and you absolutely don't know. The chubby mercenary said triumphantly.

"Oh, what's top secret? Hearing the words of the fat mercenary, several people next to him suddenly became interested.

"The food in this restaurant tastes really good. Seeing the appearance of a few people, the fat mercenary was talking about him left and right.

"That's right, as long as Brother Zhang is willing, I'll treat you to another meal tomorrow, hurry up and tell us about it. An anxious mercenary next to him hurriedly spoke.

"Well, for your sake, I'll tell you about it. By the way, do you know the origin of this Red Leaf Mercenary Group?" the fat man nodded proudly, and then said.

"How do we know this? The Red Leaf Mercenary Group has a history of hundreds of years, who knows where it came from. Several people next to him shook their heads.

"Let me tell you, the Red Leaf Mercenary Regiment is actually supported by the Ye family of our empire, and the head and deputy head of the regiment are all members of the Ye family. The fat man said.

"What, could it be the Ye family, one of the four great families of our Heavenly Thunder Empire?"

"Yes, it's the Ye family, let me tell you, last night not only the Red Leaf Mercenary Group was attacked, but all the Ye family's properties, including the Ye family's mansion, were all attacked, I heard that the situation is similar to the Red Leaf Mercenary Group, the main characters are all mysteriously missing, and many people died unexpectedly, I heard that the Ye family was bleeding last night. The fat man said with a sigh.

"Boom. ”

The fat man's words, like a thunderbolt from the sky, exploded in Ye Fan's mind, and at this time, only a few words echoed in his mind, 'The Ye family was attacked, all the main characters disappeared, and the Ye family was bleeding. ’

Ye Fan's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, and his eyes turned red unconsciously, although Ye Fan's sense of belonging to the Ye family was not very strong, but after all, it was connected by blood, and it was impossible for him to be indifferent.
