In December of the fifth and sixth year of the Altino calendar, the north gate of Reyns was closed

In addition to the heavy snowfall, the action of the king of my mind to descend on the Tianguan of the North Gate this time is generally a secret. Nothing that happened during Fenghua's private meeting with Lancelot was known to outsiders, and everything was buried under the snow.

However, when he came back to the worry, the next morning, when Lancelot boarded the airship, he seemed to be in a very happy mood, and the expression of the Prime Minister Zuo who followed him was indescribably strange.

"Boss, boss, I can't help it, as your number one minister, I'm going to risk my life to admonish. ”

After serving as prime minister for a long time, this is the first time that the Shet people have shown that they have done their duty, and of course Lancelot stopped to listen and wanted to see what suggestions he had appointed.

"Boss, your hand in transforming the environment is really not beautiful......"

Youxue bumped Lancelot with her elbow and smiled ambiguously: "What are you doing on a snowy day?" You are not a scholar, playing those romantic things, you are not worthy of you at all!"

"Oh?" Aroused by this sentence, Lancelot also bumped back with his elbow and said with a smile: "Then according to the prime minister, what should be changed next time?"

"The story of the north wind and the sun, boss, you have always heard it, right? The stronger you blow the cold wind, the tighter the people will pull their clothes, I ask you, when you enter the house, is Miss Fenghua wearing a lot?"

"This ...... When you say this, it's really yes, Fenghua dressed up at that time and wrapped himself like a zongzi. ”

"So this is your mistake boss, if you see plum blossoms, you will do the opposite and make the sun scorching hot...... Haven't you practiced some great daily skills? Just make him a big sun, and then combine it with the ocean and the beach, and then what you will see will not be zongzi, but a swimsuit beauty!"

"Say...... That's right, why didn't I think of this before?

"Hmph, this is the difference in qualifications, because boss, you haven't drunk and practiced with the two guys of a cat and a dog before, so you can't think of it, I tell you, next time there is such a situation, you should do it, not only Miss Fenghua, but even the swimsuit of the great beauty of Izumi Sakura, you can ...... Oops!"

Before he finished speaking, Youxue was already kicked out and rolled into the airship in the midst of screams. This familiar image made Lancelot instinctively think of someone.

"Nier, are you back?"

Turning his head sideways, Izumi Sakura's sword in a military uniform appeared in his eyes, and he smiled: "No, this is just learning Miss Nier's handling mode, but ...... It's time for us to go, Miss Nell is still waiting for us!"

Realizing that he had made the wrong person, Lancelot's expression was a little embarrassed, he looked at Izumi Sakura, and finally said, "Let her wait a little longer, there are some things I have to deal with before I meet her." ”

In the current situation, Izumi Sakura couldn't think of anything more important than rushing to Zhongdu, but after Lancelot boarded the airship, he changed his intended course, which made her puzzled.

In any case, it's always good to be able to sail with someone you like. However, not everyone has this kind of luck and enjoys this brief moment of happiness, and while Lancelot and the others are still basking in the small joy bestowed by the goddess of luck, their enemies are embraced by the cursed god and put themselves in a difficult situation.

A huge Jinao Island, with the world's invincible extraordinary firepower, sailing straight to the central capital, that kind of invincible turbulent momentum, nothing can look up and look directly, even if the space jumping device has not been repaired, it can only rush to the destination in a high-speed flight, it still does not hinder its giant momentum.

It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult for people to imagine that the interior of this huge ship is facing a dilemma. Including Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian, they are now experiencing the pain of elephants fighting rats.

Before this, Jinao Island had been helpless to fight the world's heroes, and Reyns mobilized almost all his forces, and even joined forces with the Qinglou Alliance, so that Jinao Island was traumatized, which was already a great record, but now...... An opponent who knew that she existed, but couldn't see or catch her, took advantage of the intricate passages and corners on Jinao Island to start a guerrilla war, so that Zhu Yan had no way to start, and truly realized the power of a master of mathematics.

"The ice of the past nine years, I will slowly settle this account with you, and wait for me to appear in front of you again at any time before you arrive in Zhongdu!"

Yan Ning put down this provocative sentence and disappeared, and the predictions she made appeared in a steady stream after that, as if opening the box of sin that contained all the calamities in the world, making Zhu Yan exhausted.

No matter how Zhu Yan activated the defogging device, the fog stretched for dozens of miles like maggots attached to the bones, sticking to the space around Jinao Island, and even invading the inner wall, permeating Jinao Island.

Looking up from the ground, I saw that in the cloudless night sky, the entire Jinao Island was covered in a layer of thick fog, like an incomparably huge cirrocumulus cloud, but also like a child's favorite marshmallow, which seemed strange but indescribably ridiculous.

"Start the defogging device!How can there be such a ridiculous thing, Jinao Island is the crystallization of the ancient magic path technology, and it won't be stumped by these things!"

Zhu Yan drank at his group of technicians, but did not get much response, and when Zhu Yan turned the communication into visible mode in a fit of rage, he found that all the technicians had fainted on the screen, unconscious.

"How is this going on?"

No matter how loud the sound is, it can't wake people up from their dreams, but at this time, Zhu Yan found that the clouds and mist that seeped into Jinao Island were not ordinary, and they were even mixed with ecstasy gas, which did not harm people's lives, but after inhaling into the body, it was like fainting like being drunk for three days.

"Zhu Yan, you have to be calm, since the enemy refuses to show his face and is clearly fighting guerrilla warfare, if we show flaws because of impatience, we will definitely fall into the other party's calculations. ”

"Well, you're right, even if these fogs can obscure our vision, they can't confuse the direction of the instrument. ”

If it was an ordinary sea boat, encountering a dense fog that could not be seen, and the stars and moon could not be seen, the crew would definitely be greatly panicked and could only use the compass. However, the navigation equipment of Jinao Island is a thousand times better than the compass, even if people can't see it, as long as the direction is set, they can reach the destination smoothly.

Zhu Yan was deeply confident in the science and technology of Jinao Island, so he calmed down, regardless of the problems of flying, he just operated the security system on the island, and let those scarf wrestlers who were not affected by the intoxicating gas go out to look for traces of the enemy.

It was also because he was so calm and concentrated on the search that when he realized that he had completely fallen into the enemy's calculations, the navigation and positioning of Jinao Island was out of order, and it was deviating from its original direction at high speed and flying due north, it was already a day later.

Looking at the instrument, there is no error in the display above, Jinao Island is still sailing towards the central capital, but how can the central capital be due north?

Zhu Yan angrily corrected the course, since the enemy has such a means to reach the sky, and even the instrument navigation can be fooled, then the only way to do this is to cancel the autopilot and hand it over to manual control.

In this way, the already stretched manpower dispatch was even tighter, and although the search team led by Hao Kelian found traces of the enemy the next day and cooperated with the scarf wrestlers to attack, it had no effect.

The process of the battle was very strange, Hao Kelian knew that the other party was not a mediocre hand, so as soon as she made a move, she went all out, cooperated with the poison to attack, and prepared to take a hard hit of the enemy's Wuyue Divine Thunder, and desperately injured to pass the toxin over.

Who knew that Yan Ning had no intention of fighting at all, and followed Hao Kelian's palm, like the wind and willows, and suddenly approached the metal wall behind him. This trick has been used by Gengoro in the past, Hao Kelian has long been behind the surrounding metal wall, and has long prepared for an ambush by the scarf wrestler, when he saw that the enemy really used this trick, he sneered in his heart, how did he know that as soon as the skin of the coin touched the metal wall, there was a sudden incredible change.

Starting from the fingers, the figure of Yan Ning suddenly became very unreal, and when Hao Kelian came back to his senses from the stunned scene in front of him, the enemy had completely melted into the metal wall, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Hao Kelian ordered the scarf wrestler to break the metal wall, but as a matter of course, he found nothing, and the enemy did not exist in the metal wall.

"I have heard for a long time that in the Qimen Dunjia of Bailu Cave, there are five elements of escape, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, this is the so-called Jin Dun!"

"Even if it's really Jin Dun, you can see this, it won't do us any good! The enemy is still elusive, and we are still hindered, if it weren't for her influence, we would have arrived in Zhongdu a long time ago. ”

Zhu Yan is not wrong at all, the problem is that the enemy is not only a master of mathematics, but also has a more stable grasp of their psychology, setting one small trap after another, and when they make contingency measures in order to crack a trap, they step into another pit.

The former head of Bailu Cave was indeed not a simple person, and as a result, in order to avoid the expansion of the loss, they could only ask Gong Jin to personally sit in charge and come out to deal with this fellow disciple.

"So...... Before Jinao Island came out, I tried to paralyze the enemy's Heavenly Rank Magician. The damage caused by Rouge Condensation is not too big, if the enemy's number one sorcerer, Cangyue Grass, can move freely, the battle of Shangri-La will develop in another direction. ”

Gong Jin let out such an exclamation, which made Zhu Yan feel a chill down his spine, although he had long known that Gong Jin would prepare everything before the battle, but he did not expect it to be so far-reaching. In order to give full play to the advantages of Jinao Island, Gong Jin had already tried to prevent the enemy's math masters from participating in the battle before the war, which gave Shangri-La's war an initial advantage.

"Don't overestimate me, I'm just making good use of the time and situation, if it weren't for my battle with Wang Wu, which caused chaos in the vitality of heaven and earth, I wouldn't be able to create this situation alone. ”

After the Battle of Jerusalem, the test firing of the Heavenly Cannon was used to continuously disrupt the vitality of heaven and earth, so that the enemy's sorcerers could not leave the enchantment array and were exhausted, which was the result of making good use of the heavenly time, and it could also be said to be an opportunity sent by God.

Using Jerusalem as the source and disrupting the vitality of heaven and earth, the most direct impact is the alliance between Reins and Qinglou. In order to protect their own territory, the top sorcerers on both sides must be exhausted to achieve the purpose of containment.

If someone on the enemy can see this strategy, perhaps the method of containment will fail. Gong Jin can only bet on this bet, hoping that even if the enemy sees through his plan, he will work hard to maintain the operation of the enchantment because he can't let go of the emotional level. Judging from the results, this strategy was successful, and it really blocked the possibility of the enemy's top magicians from participating in the battle.

However, the appearance of Rou Ning this time was unexpected, and it could no longer be settled in such a favorable way, and a tough battle must be actually fought. Although Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian's martial arts are good, they don't know anything about arithmetic, and if they want to deal with Yan Ning's harassment war, Gong Jin can only do it himself, relying on his own mathematical cultivation, and fight with Yan Ning.

(But...... Yan Ning, what is your intention in doing this?)

Gong Jin didn't know that Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian couldn't fight against Yan Ning, but they still let their two subordinates taste of failure, just to see Yan Ning's movements clearly through their experiences and experiences.

In Gong Jin's opinion, Yan Ning's tactics are undoubtedly very ingenious, and he can completely play with Jinao Island with the power of one person. The two of them are in the same vein, and the combat experience they have learned, encountered, and comprehended in their lives is similar, even if they change places, they can only do this.

The problem is that it is precisely because Gong Jin and Yan Ning are in the same vein and know each other too well that Gong Jin feels confused. In the past, the two of them had the same fighting ideas, grasping the enemy's Achilles' heel and striking with all their might, unless they could steadily kill the enemy, they would never attack easily, lest they expose themselves and turn darkness into light, thus incurring the enemy's attack.

Whether it is against Reyns or Lu You, Gong Jin adheres to this principle, and when he officially appears on the battlefield, the deadly attack has been sent to the throat of the enemy. Yan Ning should also implement this style, because she has been a dark killer in White Deer Cave for too long, and she will believe in this set of guidelines more than Gong Jin, but Gong Jin can't think of what is the ultimate purpose of this guerrilla war if she is Yan Ning?

Is it absolutely impossible to completely destroy yourself and Jinao Island?

Being able to fool Jinao Island's system like this, causing some delay and inconvenience, is already the limit of destruction for celestial magicians. Yan Ning should understand that as long as she goes out in person and fights with her, then the impact she can cause will be compressed, and in the end, it will be a meaningless farce, and she will not be able to actually hurt anything at all.

In this case, what is her purpose? In other words, if she is in the position of the attacker, what method can she use to destroy Jinao Island, or kill and injure the main enemy?

Gong Jin pondered the answer to the question, but he had always been wise and thoughtful, but this time he was in a predicament, because there was too little information that could be summarized and sorted out at present. Nine years apart...... No, before that, Yan Ning and herself had gradually drifted apart, not only had the two never cooperated, but even the number of times they sat down and talked was pitiful, and it was even through Master Lu You's notification that he knew that Yan Ning might be involved in the initiation of the Hibiscus Rebellion.

Lu You had high hopes for Kublai Khan back then. Just like Huang Taiji picked Wang Wu, Lu You also chose Kublai Khan, and secretly disguised, and personally went to the martial arts refining point to dial Kublai Khan's martial arts, hoping that he could become a pillar of the party, as a leader in the future against the demons, how did he know that Kublai Khan launched the Hibiscus Rebellion, and was defeated and died in the war, which made Lu You's hundred-year plan come to naught, and his heart was shocked, and he almost went mad in the ice cave.

The cause of the outbreak of the Hibiscus Rebellion has always been a mystery of different opinions, Lu You strictly ordered a thorough investigation, which lasted more than ten years, and there was no obvious progress, and finally found that before and after the Hibiscus Rebellion, Kublai Khan secretly communicated frequently with a certain character, which was very suspicious.

When the Tang State incident occurred, everyone's attention was slightly divided, so that when Lu You found out that the person in the White Deer Cave was Yan Ning, Yan Ning had already drifted away, and Lu You directly passed down the disposal order to Gong Jin, so that there was an appointment to meet under the ginkgo tree and sneak attack on the ice.

(Why did Yan Ning incite Kublai Khan's rebellion? Why did Kublai Khan listen to her? This matter was already foggy back then, how can it be sorted out now?)

Looking back on the past, Gong Jin did have a feeling of embarrassment, but these did not help solve the current predicament, and before he could take the initiative, the situation was further worse.

"Lord Gongjin, it's not good, the technician group has all been poisoned. ”

This time, the emergency report was replaced by Hao Kelian, who was supposed to be a drug expert on Gong Jin's side, saying that the poison in the technician group could not be solved, and the enemy had infiltrated the water supply system of Jinao Island at some point, and released poison in the drinking water, so that everyone did not investigate, and all of them were poisoned, and only Zhu Yan and Hao Kelian could suppress the poison with their own strength.

"You have to use the power of the Heavenly Rank to suppress it? Except for the Poison Emperor Bloodline, no one can have this kind of Heavenly Ability, but if it is a drug of the Poison Emperor's Bloodline, it will definitely be difficult for you...... Well, my old friend must have prepared some great surprises. ”

"Yes, the toxin mixed in the water is basically not a drug, but a rare germ in the demon world, after infection, the onset of lethargy, there is no cure, but three days after the onset of the disease, it will automatically wake up, it is not a terrible thing. ”

In Hao Kelian's report, Gong Jin noticed two messages, the first was that Yan Ning once again used a non-lethal sneak attack method, and there should be a certain meaning in the continuous meaningless acts, and the second was a message that could not be ignored...... Where did Rou Ning get this germ from the Demon Realm?

The Demon Realm?

In the past nine years, has Yan Ning really been sleeping in the ice, or has she had something to do with the things of the Demon Realm, so that she has been helped and broken through?

Thinking of the things in the demon world, Gong Jin couldn't help but think of Huaguo Mountain, which once sealed the treasure of the demon clan, after his martial arts were successful, but because he saw things and thought about people, he never went to explore it carefully, could it be that there is some mystery there?

His thoughts were still in the fog, but Gong Jin felt as if he had gradually grasped something......

※※※

When Jinao Island was in a small state of trekking, in the sky of the Continent of Winds, there was another artificial flying object, sailing in the airspace of El Tino.

I don't know the current state of Jinao Island, Lancelot and his party try to maintain high speed, but not full speed, because the result of starting the engine with full force will produce atmospheric flow that cannot be hidden by invisible radio waves, and it will definitely not be able to hide the search radar of Jinao Island.

Until the development of the Taiyan Institute's support firepower is completed, Lancelot will not be stupid enough to think that this airship will be able to engage in a head-on air battle with Jinao Island. Although this airship is already the proud technological crystallization of the Taiyan Institute, the difference in size between the two sides is really huge, so don't use the vehicle as a weapon!

When departing from Jixia, the airship's route was directed to the middle capital, preparing to meet Reyns's troops on the way, but after a short stop at the North Gate Tianguan, Lancelot changed the direction of the voyage and let the airship go southwest, deviating from its original course.

Rushing ahead of Zhou Gongjin and joining up with the army of his headquarters should be a top priority, not to mention that Hülegü's request for an alliance must also be responded to as soon as possible, these are all urgent tasks in a race against time, Izumi Sakura completely does not understand why her husband ignored this and headed towards the east of Eltino.

“...... Believe me, I have my reasons, although I can't say it yet, but I didn't go on a spaceship tour. ”

When Izumi Sakura asks why, Lancelot, who is looking straight into the clouds in front of him, gives this answer. Izumi chose to trust her husband, and although this trust seemed unfounded, she did feel that Lancelot had become very reliable after the Great War in Japan, and the Shangri-La War confirmed this.

(He must be worried, right?) If he can't make a breakthrough in strength, even if he joins the army, he will rush to suffer defeat...... ）

From Lancelot's clenched fists and his eyes looking at the bright moon and the sea of clouds, Izumi Sakura also felt the eagerness in his heart.

In terms of strength, Senior Brother Gongjin's Zhai Tian's strength is invincible, if he can't make a breakthrough, then the battle doesn't need to start at all, and the result is already known.

(Isn't that right...... The reason for deviating from the course is related to the breakthrough power?

Quan Ying guessed, and if this assumption is correct, could it be that the end of the route is martial arts?

This possibility is not impossible, because Wang Wu is the only man who fights Gong Jin alone and loses both. Gong Jin can get inspiration after the battle and break through to the Zhai Heaven position, and Wang Wu, who has similar martial arts talents, must also be able to negotiate with him, and he will definitely be able to get something.

It's just that Quan Ying also vaguely remembers that in the latest information received, Wang Wu seems to be seriously injured and has not woken up, and it is meaningless to run all the way to Wulian to see a seriously injured patient!

In terms of thoughtful intelligence, Izumi Sakura undoubtedly gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart, but no matter how she guessed and sorted it out, she couldn't find a specific explanation for the current course.

There is another person who is also in a state of confusion and remorse, and that is Ni'er who is hiding in the mountain behind the White Deer Cave.

Through Zhou Jiamin's help, Nier urgently sent the news of her safety and Hülegü's request for an alliance back to Reyns and informed her friends, but after the arraignment was completed, Nier thought of a more important event.

I actually forgot what happened in Huaguo Mountain and Termination Mountain!

On the other hand, Nier's own heart is not ready to report to her brother that she already knows her actual life and goes back and forth to the demon world, and Miss Zhou Jiamin is always a stranger, so this information is not suitable for her to know.

However, no matter what, Lu You'er's thousand-year-old worries have come true, and the Great Demon God King is likely to have made a comeback, and even come to the major events of the human world, but the elder brother and they don't know about it, which is really inappropriate.

In hindsight, Niel hated her own sluggishness, but when she thought about whether she should ask Zhou Jiamin for help and venture to contact her brother again to tell her the information, she felt hesitant, because as long as she thought that she might be eavesdropped on by the Iron Mask Shemale, she didn't know whether she should leak this important information.

(The Great Demon God King and the Iron Mask Demon, who is the main enemy?) In terms of strength, it seems that the Great Demon God King is stronger, but in terms of actual threat, the Great Demon God King doesn't know where it is, but the sword in the Iron Mask Demon's hand is handed to his neck...... ）

Niele, who could not think of an answer, tossed and turned in the night, unable to sleep, so she left the heavy building of the smoke lock, and reached the long series of stairs that connected to the sky, and looked up.

Even at night, the layers of fog are still deep, the scenery is hazy, and ten feet away is completely shrouded in dense fog. Niel looked at the crimson blood stains on the first step, the first time she ran up from here, she saw these blood stains, thinking that they were left by the interlocutor, but now she knew that it was the blood left by Li Yu.

Li Yu, who was full of ambition and wanted to break through this long list of stairs to the sky, tasted the taste of failure and resentment, and when his anger and confusion reached the peak, he was told the principle of the magic of this ladder. At first, Nier couldn't quite understand why the failure to break through the ladder hit Li Yu so hard? A person who stood up from the destruction of the country, the extinction of the race, and the cripple should not be defeated by defeat so easily.

However, after a few nights of reflection, Niel found the answer.

What brought down Li Yu was not a simple failure and setback, but the dark side of his heart. Everyone has a dark side in their hearts, and it is often something that people find difficult to accept. Li Zhou's love, known all over the world, Li Yu, who has achieved great martial arts, tried the world with a sword, no one can beat him, it is the time when he is full of spirit, and the biggest wish in his heart is to let his strength improve again and again, defeat the old master, and reunite with his lover.

But human emotions are not so simple, love is accompanied by negative emotions, even if it is a peerless sword immortal, it cannot erase the past that has happened. When he swept the sword, although no one dared to mock him in front of him, those sympathetic eyes and words still gave him the stimulus of humiliation, reminding him of what had happened and what might have happened to his woman. For a proud man, that feeling is not pleasant, especially when he is invincible......

The whisper of darkness is like a pervasive needle, repeatedly piercing the broken heart every night. Even if they don't want to face it, these things will still quietly settle and accumulate in the depths of people's consciousness...... If there was enough time, these accumulations might have been washed away by the river of time, but Li Yu didn't realize this at that time.

In front of these seven strange magic arrays that tested people's hearts, Li Yu's heart disease was triggered, making it difficult for him to walk on this cloud road and heavenly steps, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined in his heart, and he couldn't control himself.

"Jia Min is a completely innocent woman, and she will end up in such a miserable situation today, all because of her own arrogance and ignorance, and she has made such shameless thoughts in front of her residence......"

When the reason in his brain realized this, Li Yu, who was tired and intertwined, went crazy!

Walking on the long staircase, looking at the traces left by the surrounding environment, Niel seemed to be able to see all kinds of scenes back then, and the back of a man appeared vaguely in front of her, his hair was scattered, his body was stained with blood, and he let out a howl of anger and grief, so miserable that people almost wanted to hide their ears, followed by a fierce wolf like a wounded and dripping blood, rushing towards the ice peak and snow valley below the mountain.

"Let go of the old dog! I'll kill you!"

The deafening roar, the mountains roared, Nier felt that her ears hurt, and she vaguely saw Li Yu angrily raising his long sword, and the cold sword qi affected the wind and snow in the sky, splitting the mountains and splitting the sea and slashing down angrily.

The surging momentum, even after many years, Nier was still intimidated by the crazy killing intent, and felt that her skin was tingling, if that killing intent was aimed at herself, she would not even be able to breathe, waiting to be split into two parts. However, even so, there was an unbearable sting in Niel's heart, and she couldn't bear to see the grief-stricken and furious expression on the man's face, let alone the overly obvious flaw in his sword move.

(Medium!)

Unconsciously threw a punch out, just a simple push, but Niel estimated the damage that this punch could cause after the hit was flawed.

(ribs...... At least the left half should be broken, the internal organ bleeding must be very serious, and without a few months of recuperation, don't think about standing up...... ）

That flaw is too obvious, even fatal, he can have such lethality just by simply punching, Lu You used the three swords to fight back at that time, and the lethality will only be stronger, Li Yu did not die on the spot, it is really not like pure luck, but Lu You deliberately showed mercy.

Li Yu should also understand this, so he flew out with a serious injury, and after standing up, he just returned to the steps, looked up at the deep lock of clouds and mist, said nothing, and finally hung his head and left.

This blow...... It's huge......

Nier felt that it was herself, and when she encountered these things, she would draw her sword and kill herself on the spot. With that kind of impact, this shouldn't be too impulsive, most normal people do......!

"However, if the fifth junior brother had been open-minded at that time and understood what should be mentioned and what should be put down, everything would have developed in a different direction, perhaps...... The two of them can now have a happier ending. ”

A cold voice came from behind without warning, and Niel, who was wandering up the stairs, was startled, and suddenly turned around, and saw the last thing she wanted to see.

"Iron, Iron-Mask Ladyboy!"
