Since the withdrawal of the Scarlet Alliance's Royal Mercenary Regiment, the entire Yanjing of the Qingyun Empire has rejoiced, but there are also many people who have hidden worries!

The number of nine-star powerhouses announced by the Qingyun Empire to the outside world is only four, although it has increased its vigilance since more than a year ago and greatly strengthened the defense of Yanjing, but without the thousands of masters of the Scarlet Alliance, some civilians and officials have always felt unsafe, and feel that the Dark Empire is very likely to attack again.

This concern is not unfounded...... On the front line, the powerhouses of the Dark Empire who confronted the Qingyun Empire had risen to eleven, and the Qingyun Empire had also successively invested many deans of the Qingyun Academy, including Ke Zefu and Notting;

Naturally, the city defense is not as good as before.

What is even more worrying is that since Philip Jones led the army to leave, the defense strength of Yanjing City has increased greatly! Not only have more than 5,000 additional cavalry been sent to take turns to patrol the area within a radius of dozens of miles outside Yanjing, but the high-ranking members of the six great families have also begun to mix and get involved in the city defense, replacing the original monitoring position held by the Scarlet Alliance; and even a large number of crossbowmen have been added to patrol around the palace day and night, as if they were facing a great enemy!

The same is true of the surrounding towns, where large numbers of cavalry and birds patrol each other.

On the official road leading to Qingyun City, in the endless convoy, the two old men looked at the front silently, and did not speak, only glanced at the birds flying overhead from time to time, and the gloomy color in their eyes was fleeting.

"The Qingyun Empire is really ...... The first number of ...... dials"

"The birds are the fourth, the cavalry is the seventh, and the front is ...... I came over to check again, and the defense was really tight. One of the old men, while lowering the sneer of the brim of his hat, transmitted a voice:

In the position of the carriage driver, an old man who inadvertently showed a fierce gaze landed on the buttocks of the big wildebeest with a crisp 'snap' sound:

"It seems that we taught them a very impressive lesson last time. There was a smug look in his words.

The old man in the hat tugged at the corner of his lips at this time:

"Last time I faced a sleeping lion, and now that the lion has woken up, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the results of last time again...... The people of the six great families of the Qingyun Empire and the Praetorian Guards should all remember our appearance, just now a kid looked at me twice, it should be the Praetorian Guards mixed in. ”

"So what? Isn't it easy for you to be controlled?" the whip-wielding old man smiled, remembering the situation in which the Praetorian Guard had told the others before he fell to the ground.

The old man in the hat shook his head slowly:

"It's just a high-level warrior, it's really not difficult to control, but if you encounter a mage, the spiritual power is not so easy to penetrate...... If you don't want to alarm anyone's control, even me, it's impossible to do it. ”

"Hmph, it's a big deal to kill it, I don't believe that anyone in the Qingyun Empire can stop us. ”

"Don't be too confident, once you startle the snake, the ten-party barrier is not so easy to break, don't forget the main purpose of our trip......"

"Hmph, capture that kid alive? This is those people's business, what does it have to do with the two of us? Restore Dan is effective for them, so they rushed all the way to catch people, let our brothers work hard to arrest people, he really thinks that he, a Dark Lord Hall Master, can interfere with our Undead Lord Hall?"

The whip-wielding old man snorted coldly.

This time, they lurked from the front line, because the group of people in the Dark Main Hall agreed to the suggestion of a new main hall member called 'Bodong', and made a proposal to the Dark Emperor, and established this operation.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is an order from the emperor, and you don't know it...... The Emperor has specially cultivated a group of Dark Mage Guards in private, if you can really get the formula of the Restoration Pill and refine it in large quantities, not to mention one Blood Alliance, the ten Blood Alliances are no longer our opponents, the Dark Emperor has put a lot of effort into this operation, don't mess around, otherwise when the Dark Emperor finds someone to punish the crime, I won't be able to protect you. ”

As soon as he heard the word emperor, the old man, who had been very angry, suddenly stopped talking.

......, "Ah, I can't stand it anymore, what the hell is going on these days? ”

Several Praetorian Guards who had changed guards dragged their tired bodies and turned around and walked back to their respective rooms, puzzled by the inexplicable strengthening of their defenses in the past few days.

"Hell knows, supposedly, our usual vigilance intensity is high enough, and now this intensity is not much different from the last attack. ”

A Praetorian Guard soldier took off the heavy magic armor on his body while taking over the conversation, and for several hours he wore the thick and heavy combat armor, and few people could stand it.

Moreover, this situation lasted for five days, and the Praetorian Guards were subjected to high-intensity vigilance tasks every day, and they were too tired to do so, and they did not usually appear at the heads, each of them staring at the back, and none of them dared to relax.

"Yanjing's defense is perfect enough, and the palace is still like this...... You don't know, these days, the worship of His Majesty's side has also disappeared, I don't know what happened, I always feel that this time is a little unusual. ”

"Oh, did you notice that?"

The Praetorian Guards, like cats smelling fishy, suddenly broke free from exhaustion and came together.

Ping, who doesn't know that the worship lord has become His Majesty's personal guard, and he will not leave his side?

What does this sudden abnormality mean?

"It seems that the other one has not been seen for a long time, and he has often been seen walking around the inner and outer sanctuaries before. ”

"Brother Lin, isn't your eldest brother in the inner hall? Have you met your brother these days?"

Several people locked on to a Praetorian Guard soldier who was silently wiping himself and preparing to go to bed.

The Praetorian Guard soldier known as Ringo frowned:

"You don't want to live anymore, and you dare to talk about Your Majesty and the things of worship?"

"Damn, they're all brothers, what are you afraid of. ”

"That's it, Brother Lin, is there a secret? Brothers, listen to it? I'm tired these days. ”

"Uh-huh, at least let us know what's going on, otherwise we'll be panicking when we wear these things every day!" a group of people gathered around, encouraged.

Unable to stand up to your words, brothers, Brother Lin raised his hands: "Okay, okay, tell you too, but whisper to me, if this word reaches the ears of others, we will all be unlucky." ”

Sure enough, there is a secret!

"Shh

A group of gossip guards covered their mouths at the same time and motioned for Brother Lin to continue.

"My eldest brother didn't actually say anything to me, and he didn't know what was going on, but the two worshippers don't seem to have been in the inner sanctum lately...... And my eldest brother told me that I have to wear all these equipment every day, he said...... These days, the situation is abnormal, and accidents can happen at any time, so wearing equipment has a better chance of saving your life. ”

“......”

As soon as the voice fell, the room suddenly fell silent.

A group of people looked at each other.

Really...... Even the offerings that Ping said did not leave the palace at all have disappeared, no wonder there has been a strong guard for so many days in a row, and there is really something going to happen!

Unbeknownst to the Praetorian Guards, none of their conversations escaped the ears of the two worshippers in the palace.

"This group of rabbit cubs, fortunately, warned the people of the inner temple in advance, otherwise they would be willing to spread the word to this group of rabbit cubs. ”

Above the palace, two old men wearing palace robes, their fluttering clothes stayed in the air at a height of thousands of meters, and one of them scolded when he opened his mouth.

The spiritual power of the two worshippers was not enough to cover the entire palace, but the palace was already covered with various magic arrays with various functions, which greatly increased the coverage of the spiritual power of the two worshippers, not only everyone's words and deeds would be received by the two, but even every move, including everyone's abnormal heartbeat, would be sensitively noticed.

It is precisely for this reason that the two worshippers ignored the much-talkative Praetorian Guards.

Only a few people know the secrets of the palace, tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards, there are always a lot of gossip men who jump eggs, as long as they keep the bottom line and don't spread it at will, they won't be investigated too much.

"Old man Kun, you're boring. ”

The one who opened his mouth was the mysterious offering that personally guarded the emperor of the Qingyun Empire.

"You just know?"

Lao Kun rolled his eyes strangely:

"It's been five days, and there's still no movement over there, and I don't know to what extent, Xu Xiaozi clearly said that once the ceremony starts, there will definitely be a lot of movement, let us check it for him...... I don't see anything now, just drink the cold wind for a few days, aren't you bored?"

After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at the storeroom, and muttered:

"I didn't give him the treasury if I knew it, and put it directly in the inner hall or garden...... "The spiritual power was blocked out of the treasury, which always made him care very much.

The mysterious offering didn't say anything, glanced at him, and then looked at the treasury below that was as big as a matchbox, but densely guarded by hundreds of eight-star palace guards, and suddenly spoke:

"Lao Kun, I have a bad premonition. ”

“......”

Lao Kun suddenly shut up, and the old naughty boy's expression before was gone, replaced by incomparably dignified and serious.

He didn't speak, but looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

He had heard this phrase once a while ago...... It was on that day that Qingyun City was attacked, the empire was shaken, and tens of millions of people of the Qingyun Empire were displaced.

The mysterious offering can naturally understand the meaning in Lao Kun's eyes.

Shaking his head:

"I can't say for sure, but since this morning, I've been feeling depressed and feeling like something bad is about to happen. The tone was very solemn and heavy.

"Maybe I'm too sensitive. ”

This was too mysterious, he was too vague, and Lao Kun couldn't take any action immediately because of his words, frowning and muttering for a long time, he could only choose to be vigilant.

Just as the head moved to the sky above Yanjing, at the hottest time of the day, a gust of yin wind suddenly rose from the palace without the slightest warning.

At the same time, dark clouds from nowhere were hidden in the sky above the Qingyun Empire!

Thicker and thicker!

It swirls wildly like a black vortex, expands wildly.

The hot noon gives people an unusually cold and dreary feeling...... All the people of the Qingyun Empire came out of the house one after another and poured into the streets, vying to witness this amazing vision emerging from the direction of the palace!
