In August of the 568th year of the Altino calendar, the general fort of Altino Medici

Since the outbreak of fighting on the eastern front of Altino and the invasion of Reyns by the Shi family's troops, the movements of the Medici family have attracted much attention.

Inevitably, after occupying the old territory of the Hua family and using troops against Reins, the Shi family's forces are scattered, and their strength in Zhongdu is relatively weak.

Grasping the situation, the Medici family will take over the world, and many staff members are bold enough to advise the head of the family to be sure to grasp the advantages of the time, but Hülegü seems to have made up his mind recently, nesting in the main castle as a decadent loser, and all day long either holding lavish concerts with him as an audience, or driving a sports car out, wandering around.

"Master of the family, please adapt to the time, as long as you grasp the opportunity, the Medici family can achieve great things, please respond to the expectations of the people and crusade against the Shi family!"

The persuasions of his subordinates were about to turn into wails, but Hülegü remained unmoved. The dashing blonde nobleman, with his unique handsome expression, said in fear: "The Shi family's army is not here, but the masters are still there, and that Dolgon looks terrible, so I don't want to fight with that kind of brute bull." ”

This is indeed a concern, but everyone knows that it is just a prevarication, because in the eyes of the children of the Medici family, this bold and fearless head of the family has never cared about anything, and simply regards "no taboos" as a code of play, and the more dangerous there is, the more he has to go there to find excitement.

No one knew what Hulegu was thinking, and even the few elders who had already been conquered by his charisma as a leader could only shake their heads and sigh at the anxious juniors.

Soon after the Shi family started the war with Reins, a rumor spread from an unknown source that began to spread in Altinor.

After the Kyushu War, Lu You, who was at the apex of the masters of the human world, had an agreement with Reynes that in order to let him control the hegemony of the human world forever, every once in a while, he would plunge the human world into turmoil and take the opportunity to sweep away all the forces that hindered the hegemony of the White Deer Cave.

Because of this reason, Bailu Cave originally assisted the Cao family to replace the Dashi Kingdom and suppress the Huazi family, and then sat back and watched the corruption of the Cao family.

At least half of this rumor is true, the Three Sages did have a secret agreement at the beginning, and after the human world was peaceful for a period of time, it once again caused turmoil in the human world and cultivated reliable masters. But later, Kadar and Huang Taiji died one after another, and only Lu You carried out the content of this secret agreement alone.

Those who learned about this, in addition to the three sages themselves, were only Queen Reyns at that time, as well as the Queen Mother of the West and the head of the Dragon Clan. For 2,000 years, this has been absolutely secret, and I don't know why it was recently revealed.

To make matters worse, this leak of secrecy, presented in a distorted form, turned into a most devastating scandal.

As long as you think of the actions of Bailu Cave over the years, as well as the fact that Lu You helped Reines in the last battle of Tianguan at the North Gate, the people affirmed the truth of this rumor.

Just like Izumi Sakura's reaction at the beginning, no one likes to be involved in a conspiracy, just hearing this scandal is enough to stimulate people's disgust, not to mention that one rumor is the beginning of a hundred other rumors, under the continuous word of mouth, the White Deer Cave has undoubtedly become the source of all evil, as if any natural and man-made disasters are because of the influence behind the White Deer Cave.

The White Deer Cave side hurriedly clarified and extinguished the fire. In their opinion, this rumor can spread to the entire Wind Continent in just a few days, with the momentum of wildfire, showing that someone is secretly operating. In particular, among the many rumors that followed, there were also legends that although Marshal Zhou Gongjin worked hard to protect the country, among Lu You's personal disciples, there was a woman who had an affair with King Lancelot of Reyns, all of which was tacitly approved by Lu You, which is the best proof that White Deer Cave wants to step on two boats.

The fact that Lu You accepted seven personal disciples is well known to the world, but not many people know that there are women among them, and the source of this news is really unusual.

Although the people in Bailu Cave were busy clarifying the rumors, compared with the boiling criticism, their situation was really embarrassing, and it was impossible for them to ask Lu You to come out of the customs, so they could only watch things get worse and worse.

The resentment soon spread from the people to the authorities, and the first to bear the brunt was the current emperor, His Majesty Cao Shou. Although the news was deliberately blocked, the civil and military officials all saw the emperor's anger, and slapped the table many times in a row and scolded Bailu Cave for his ill intentions and intentions to rebel, and according to the news from the inner servants, His Majesty the Emperor trembled in fear in the palace every night, for fear that Bailu Cave would change its position at any time and his throne would not be guaranteed.

In such an atmosphere, the relationship between Bailu Cave and the Ertino Dynasty was extremely tense, and as far as it could be, Zhou Gongjin and Hülegu, who were Lu You's personal disciples, were also deliberately alienated by the court, and only Cao Shou was accompanied by Shi Chong all day long, as if only this shrewd and capable advisor was the only pillar worthy of His Majesty's trust.

"Rumors are the source of demagoguery, the fire has been lit, in which direction will the fire burn next?"

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Hülegü folded his fingers and muttered to himself. There was a hint of confusion on Junxiu's face, but in the eyes of the elders who were familiar with his personality, the head of the house was only afraid to think about whether to dodge the fire or jump to the place where the fire burned the most.

"No matter which way you go, there are so few resources that you can use, and at this time...... It would be nice if my brother was too. ”

For no reason, Hülegü came up with this sentence, and looking at the confused expressions of the people around him, he smiled slightly and did not give any explanation.

※※※

Got Xiaocao's holy power treatment, Youxue's injury has healed, the so-called commander, in fact, is idle, in addition to drinking all day long, is to find pro-guards, gambling and chatting, and occasionally meet a small group of Shijia army, that is, an order, ten thousand arrows fly together, big stones kill crabs, and easily win the victory.

The scattered army of the Shi family is not all orcs, but a mixed army of orcs and ordinary human soldiers, everyone has an advantage in numbers, and relies on the advantage of equipment, strong bows and crossbows, several battles in a row, easy to win, effortless.

"I really don't understand, what's the point of this kind of war? Why does the Shi family seem to be sending people to kill us?"

Among the subordinates, someone raised such a question, but Prime Minister Zuo couldn't answer it at all, so he could only touch his nose and smirk at a loss. In fact, it's not just snow, it's a problem that bothers everyone in Renes' decision-making class.

The army advanced slowly, and for the sake of safety, it could even be said that it was slow, but when they were about to approach the North Gate Tianguan, they encountered a large number of refugees who had fled from the North Gate Tianguan.

"There may be spies among the refugees, but in order to protect the people, we still have to shelter them and send troops to escort them back to the interior for resettlement, but every refugee must be strictly searched, and those with weapons may not be good people, especially those with a large amount of gold and silver, and they must be sent for personal interrogation. ”

As for the last order, the staff members were noncommittal, but they relatively asked, will there be still refugees coming this way and need help? There are quite a few scattered troops of the Shi family wandering around here, and even a group of refugees of one or two hundred people is not vulnerable to the attack of a team of ten transformed orcs, so it is necessary to send troops out to meet them.

"Well, this is indeed something to worry about, but Marshal Princess has explained in advance that we must not disperse our forces, isn't it dangerous to divide our troops like this?"

"Prime Minister, aren't you afraid of cowardly criticism when you say this?"

"I don't care, you didn't expect the Shets to be heroic in battle anyway, did you?"

At such times, the image of the Sheter has become the best excuse, no one expects the Sheter to become a brave general on the battlefield, and no one encourages him to take the initiative.

Just as everything was going smoothly, there was a sudden commotion in the camp, Youxue didn't care, and sent the people around him out to deal with it, but when the noise was getting closer and closer, and the fire began to appear, Youxue knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran out of the tent.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Oh no, the refugees are mixed with the orc army, and after infiltrating it, they began to wreak havoc. ”

"Why can't even the orcs recognize a bunch of rice buckets?

"No, they infiltrated in the form of humans, and then suddenly transformed, and there were so many refugees just now, and before we could finish checking, they transformed and began to destroy. ”

The level of commotion is getting bigger and bigger, and the reinforced orcs who have entered a state of rage are fighting on their own, without any intention of uniting, just running around, destroying and tearing apart the creatures they come into contact with, this kind of unorganized and barbaric tactics make it more difficult for the Reyns army to deal with.

In the past, when encountering the fortified orcs, they were found from afar, and then they fired bows and arrows and crossbows from a long distance to shoot the enemy squad and not give them a chance to get closer, but on the other hand, they had no experience in close combat with the orcs at all. Now that he has been killed by the orcs, the quality and combat power of the Reyns army are not up to standard, so he panicked.

Fortunately, leaving aside the Supreme Commander himself, most of the remaining high-ranking officers were born in the military department of Xixi Koga Island and had a lot of experience in warfare. Under their command, the commotion was slowly brought under control, and the orcs were besieged and annihilated from several different angles.

"Huh, it's so dangerous, fortunately it didn't get to the point where I was asked to go out to fight in person, otherwise it would have been really bad. ”

Looking at the fire that was gradually being extinguished in front of him, Youxue was relieved and exhaled a long breath, while the subordinates next to him took the opportunity to pat their chests and vouch.

"Lord Zuo Zai, please don't worry, as long as we have a breath here, we will swear to protect your safety, we ......"

Before the sentence could be said clearly, a rain of blood sprayed out, drenching the snow Prime Minister's head and face, and when the snow wiped his eyes and saw clearly in front of him from the red, he was shocked to find that the loyal guard had been pierced through the chest by a feathered arrow, and had been killed on the spot.

"Wow!"

The terrible screams of the Shets almost drowned out the rumbling of the orc charges, and after a few horn blows, a large number of orcs were killed from outside the camp.

Let some stragglers invade the enemy position first, wreak havoc, take advantage of the chaos in the enemy position, and have no time to fire crossbow arrows from the outside, and then let the army surprise from outside. The successful tactics really turned the Reyns army on their backs and caused chaos.

In the midst of the commotion, a group of orcs with maces strode into the center of the enemy formation, smashed every camp tent, waved the sharp giant sticks in their hands, and sent the soldiers who approached one by one into the distance, and let out a terrifying roar from time to time, obviously the elite commandos specially selected by the enemy.

"Roar~~ Where is the head?Where is the enemy's head?Hurry up and find out the head!"

The orcs shouted out the purpose of the raid, and when they heard it in Yuxue's ears, it was like a talisman. Touching his neck, if this fat head is smashed on the head by a mace, won't it immediately become a sham?

Seeing that the orcs were getting closer and closer, like the wind blowing leaves, they swept away the soldiers who were blocking the front, and the snow was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, and he screamed, took out the magic talisman from his bag and tied it, and ran away.

"Escort, escort, all Reyns soldiers, come to protect your prime minister! Hurry up and shoot those orcs, who has arrows in their hands? Where are all the arrows dead? If I don't die, you will all die!"

The screams of killing pigs resounded everywhere in Reins' camp as Prime Minister Schett fled in a hurry. Yuxue only knew that he was the target of the orcs, and if he ran one step too late, he would die, so he ran with all his might, ignoring the things around him.

"Yuki-sama ......"

"Prime Minister, you ......"

"Zuo Jae-sama ......"

The soldiers seemed to be shouting something behind them, but the roar of the orcs was still loud, and the snow had already run away from the eyes, sweating like pulp, and regardless of the south, south, west, and north, they were all rushing in the barracks, running to the crowded places, hoping that the orcs would find other soldiers to slaughter and forget their mission, but the group of orcs seemed to recognize themselves, and the roar always followed.

Unfortunately, if he was willing to stop a little and listen to the call of the soldier next to him, then he would hear more reassuring words.

"Lord Yuxue, don't worry, we're here to protect you. ”

"Prime Minister, the situation has been brought under control, those orcs are being annihilated, and you are frightened. ”

"Lord Zuo Zai, there are no orcs chasing after you, please stop!"

Long before Gengoro left the camp, he had expected that the enemy might attack in such a form, so he told the high-ranking officers what to do when they encountered such a scene. When the orcs were making a fuss in the camp, the officers acted according to the predetermined plan, luring the orcs into a trap and firing a powerful crossbow with quenching poison, killing them, but the number of enemies exceeded expectations, and an elite commando team accidentally killed near the camp, causing damage.

This was indeed an unforgivable mistake, and the officers hurriedly led their troops to protect the commander-in-chief, only to find that he rushed out first, and then dragged a long string of orcs like a dumpling, shouting and killing.

The officers were busy leading their troops to chase up, chasing and killing, because there was a correct strategy of the snow, and they ran to a place with a lot of people, so the beast crowd that was chasing after them also collided head-on with layer after layer of heavy soldiers, and it didn't take long for them to be cut and scattered in more than a dozen encirclements, and they were besieged by more than a hundred times the enemy, and they were killed.

However, the great hero who enabled the Dereyns army to quickly annihilate the enemy was ignorant of all this, and was still running at the forefront, and with an unparalleled high speed, the guards who wanted to report the good news to him were chased wildly, sweating and panting, and couldn't figure out how the prime minister could train such outstanding flying hairy fast legs?

As a result, in front of the eyes of all the Reins army, the Prime Minister showed a magic skill that was not inferior to that of the heavenly master, and with that pair of fat short legs, after running around the barracks four times in a very short time, he shook off the guards without looking back and threw dust towards the west.

The officers, who couldn't catch up, were so tired that they sat down on the ground, panting for breath.

"Sure enough, as it stands, I've never seen a Shetter running so fast......"

"I'm gasping for it...... According to Marshal Nier, Lord Zuo Jae practiced a kind of Qimen Kung Fu called 'Shet Immortal', and it may be because of this that he runs very fast......

※※※

Unable to hear the anxious calls of his subordinates behind him, the snow ran until he could no longer run, and then he stopped, and was so weak that he leaned on the big tree next to him, sticking out his tongue like a dog to dissipate heat.

"Hey, get it all out of the way? No, but what kind of place is this?"

Running far away from the barracks, Yuxue finally had time to look at where he was, and found that he was stuck in the woods at the moment, and he didn't know how far away he was from the camp.

"I'm going to die, how did I get here? But, fortunately, those orcs have been dumped off, so it should be safe now, right?"

The self-perception is completely out of touch with the reality, and Yuki is glad that he escaped, while mourning for his colleagues who may have been killed by the orcs.

"Therefore, running fast is the best bargaining chip to survive in troubled times......"

The shher who sighed like this suddenly widened his eyes and stared blankly at the three bear-headed orcs who appeared in front of him.

"Wha, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! Finally, you can slaughter the enemy's head alive. ”

"No, isn't it? Orcs can also pronounce idioms?"

"Hahaha, Shet mongrels can tell stories, can't orcs be able to speak idioms? Tell you, when we tear fat people, we always read poems!"

"Wow!

Falling into danger again, looking at the crowd of beasts that gradually appeared around him, even the back was surrounded, Youxue almost thought that he had broken into the enemy's lair, just as he wanted to pull his legs and run again, a laughing orc closest to him behind him, a line of fire suddenly appeared on his neck.

It was an indescribable situation, the turquoise firelight was fleeting on the orc's neck, and the orc's eyes even glanced at the neck very strangely, and then, all expressions froze, and a snow-white jade hand held the mane on his head, and lifted the head, which was separated from the body.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Youxue husband, after you became the prime minister, did you see any strange thoughts?

"Hao, Hao Kelian?"

The delicate voice, the sweet smile, the pupils of Youxue and the orcs dilated together, looking at the hot beauty who shook off the beast head in her hand and walked to Youxue's side.

"Why are you looking at the slave with these eyes? I haven't seen you for a few months, so I shouldn't be getting old, right?"

The sweet voice can't feel the surrounding killing atmosphere at all, in fact, there is no so-called killing atmosphere at all, the combat strength and body shape ratio of the two sides are just the opposite, within the three breaths of Hao Kelian's shot, there is no longer half a living orc around.

"Y-Why are you here?...... "Yuxue stammered, unable to speak clearly, feeling that his life should not be in danger at the moment, but it didn't seem to be safe, he and this woman were indeed old acquaintances, but there was no friendship at all.

"They're the Eltino Army, and I'm from the Eltino, so it's not surprising that I'm here. As for why I did this...... Hao Kelian glanced at the orc corpse on the ground and said with a smile: "How can I have a better friendship with you than them, right? ”

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but Youxue still listens to it and is dizzy, and she can't figure out what this femme fatale wants to do with herself.

The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely weird, and finally Hao Kelian smiled slightly and said, "If I say that I don't plan to dismember you here, kill you, and make you die on the ground like these things, then can you not be so stiff? Let's sit down and talk about it together?"

"Who would believe you when you say that?" Youxue said in a trembling voice: "You and they are both Eltinos, you are all in a gang, you can even kill your own people, who knows if you will suddenly turn your face and kill me?"

"Who else would kill people for the sake of the country now? Even if they are from the same country, they are from the Shi family's camp, and I am under the command of Generalissimo Zhou, and the two sides have nothing to do with each other at all. Hao Kelian said: "Frankly speaking, I came this time in the hope of meeting with the leadership of the Reins side and telling you an important piece of information. ”

"Whew...... Wouldn't I be relieved if you said this earlier?"

In the frustrating situation, even Hao Kelian couldn't maintain the smile on her face anymore, her expression was cold, she sat down on a big rock, and said, "Fatty, before I count to three, come and sit down next to me, otherwise...... Hmph!"

Otherwise, there is no need to say what will happen, Xuete didn't say a word, and quickly moved to Hao Kelian's side, but instead of sitting down, he sat down like a puppy, with his hands down, and squatted carefully.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"You're the queen, and I'm going to be next to you, so of course I have to be like this. ”

"You Reyns people use this posture to meet the queen?"

"I don't know what the Reyns people do in the court, but every time I go to the 'Not a Raptors but River Club' with the perverted group of the Taiyan Academy to relieve the pressure, I use this posture to meet the queen and beg her to punish me...... Don't get me wrong, we used to go there often, but since my ghost woman and goddess often went to the Taiyan Academy, everyone stopped going to the club to find the queen. ”

A serious explanation, on the contrary, Hao Kelian couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said: "You are also weird and interesting, I said that I wouldn't do anything to you, do you need to be afraid of being like this?

"You don't look terrible, but it's worse because of that, and it's scary to look at it and forget that you're a dangerous person. Youxue said: "You don't want to think about it, when you were in the free city, how vicious you were to start, an innocent girl was slaughtered alive like you, and people would be afraid to see it." ”

"Since it's an enemy, if you want to kill it, kill it, no matter who he is, I ......" It seemed that there was no need to justify it to a Shet, Hao Kelian smiled and shook her head, stretching her waist.

"Alas, I'm tired to death, lack of sleep is the enemy of beautiful women, I've been running around lately, and I'm staring at you from afar at night, and I don't have a chance to rest well, and I can only sleep in a tree. ”

"What do you want to do when you leave Zhongdu so far away and stare at us?"

"Shi Chong's recent actions are very strange, as the iron guard of Lord Gongjin, he had to take the initiative to go out to investigate, my partner was hung up a while ago, and one person does two jobs, of course he is tired. In fact, the most troublesome thing is your Gengoro, if it weren't for him getting in the way, I would have been much easier. ”

"Why? You had a leg with him in the past, and you don't want to see the old concubine?"

"Have you had a leg with me? But in terms of martial arts, he is indeed the best in your line, and he is the only one who has discovered my peeping eyes and has been laying traps to lure me out. This man's martial arts are very strange, and I don't want to fight him, so I have been delaying until today, and I have a way to contact you. ”

The correct statement should be that Gengoro gave up catching the peep, thinking that instead of continuing this confrontation, it would be better for her to contact herself, maybe it would be more beneficial to the situation, and release such a message, Hao Kelian appeared.

"To put it simply, I was ordered to tell you, please be careful, although it sounds a bit incredible, but the Shi family seems to want to master the technology of the Ancient Demon Dao, and has recently secretly set up a full-time department to study weapons, there is a great possibility, he will send someone to the Taiyan Academy under the Ji to steal the technology. ”

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, Youxue really wouldn't have thought that Shi Chong would have such an attempt, I'm afraid even Gengoro and Miss Kokusa didn't expect it, but I don't have to think about it myself, just send this information back and let my own decision-makers judge.

"This information is indeed very valuable, and we are very grateful, but if you tell me so, isn't Shi Chong miserable by you?"

Hao Kelian smiled and said: "What about Shi Chong, it's none of our business, from our standpoint, it's best for Shi Chong and Reins to fight and lose both, and Generalissimo Zhou can have the opportunity to reorganize Altino." ”

I'm afraid that everyone in the Wind Continent knows this matter very well, but if it comes out of the mouth of Hao Kelian, who is Gong Jin's confidant, it shows that the relationship between the two sides has been tense to the limit.

"Hey, why are you so loyal to that man in the iron mask? His martial arts are so bad, he can't even touch the edge of the heavenly position, you are still following him now, won't you have no future in the future?"

Youxue didn't know why he said this, but an impulse made him honestly say the thoughts in his head, "There is a shortage of people on our side, if you are interested, do you want to come to our side to do things, whether it is treatment or development, our side should be better!"

"Sounds good, but you don't have good men over there, and I don't want to be in the company of monkeys and shemales, and being surrounded by that kind of thing will dull my proudest beauty. ”

Hao Kelian said with a smile: "It's okay to poach if you want to, just wait until you become a good man, and then come and talk to me!"

The smile is very charming, but there is no sense of respect, in Hao Kelian's values, if Lancelot is a person who does not understand the value of beauty, Youxue is an existence that is not worth seducing, but maybe it is precisely because of this that you can sit here and talk to him with such an attitude, which is a very wonderful thing.

"Hey, Yuxue husband, let me ask you something. Hao Kelian said: "If one day, you suddenly find that your strength is stronger than your monkey boss, at that time, what will you do?"

"Better than our monkey boss......? How is this possible?"

Yuxue was dumbfounded, unable to answer this strange question. I have never practiced martial arts, and this kind of question has no possibility of being realized at all, and I think about it repeatedly, but in the end I still can't answer it.

"This question was asked to us by Lord Gongjin at the beginning, when our strength was already above him...... Well, but it's still hard for us to answer. ”

Hao Kelian said: "That man, is a strange person, has a lot of very strange persistence and persistence, if there are no those things, he can live more comfortably, maybe, I just want to see when he will throw these things away, so he continues to be an iron guard in the Second Army!"

"Uh...... Are you supposed to ...... Fall in love with the Man in the Iron Mask, right?"

"I?how is it possible?" Hao Kelian's smile this time made Youxue have a peculiar feeling, although she had been smiling since she appeared, but only this time, there was no charming feeling in the smile, but she couldn't help laughing.

"Well, your companion is coming soon, I'm leaving, and I'll convey it to you if I get information about the Shi family in the future, so, I think we have had a lot of opportunities to meet recently, but yet, Husband Youxue is not interested in me at all today, I think I'm going to go back and study the way to seduce men again." ”

That smile was like a flash in the pan and quickly faded. Surprisingly, Hao Kelian suddenly approached, picked up the collar of the Sheter, and imprinted a kiss on his cheek.

"This is the reward for speaking to me today...... By the way, the chicken you invited me to eat last time tasted so good that I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. ”

※※※

At the end of her stay at Hakuharon, Izumi said goodbye to her teacher, left Hakuhara, and headed for Shanglong Mountain.

In just a few days, the situation is already quite different from when he arrived, because of the rumors, there is a very strange atmosphere up and down the White Deer Cave.

How Lu You will respond at the celebration ceremony in a few days will determine the relationship between El Tino and White Hart Cave. In order to maintain a good relationship with Al Tieno, the elders of the White Deer Cave very much hope that the Grandmaster will go out and personally bless the national fortune for the emperor in order to reassure him, but on the other hand, the elders are also very distressed, because in this way, the White Deer Cave will lose its dignity.

For nearly two thousand years, because of the shade of the big tree Lu You, the existence of all the powerful forces on the Wind Continent has been affected by the White Deer Cave. The White Deer Cave has always maintained a transcendent position to show its superiority, and the Grandmaster Lu You is an existence above the emperor, if he changes this position now, where will the dignity of the White Deer Cave be?

Izumi Sakura probably expected the troubles of the elders, but she believed that with the wisdom of her master, she should have some plans, after all, the evolution of the situation was too weird, and in a short period of time, the rumors could be spread and agitated to such an extent, there must be a dominant person behind it.

With the ability of the White Deer Cave, it would not even be impossible to trace the source of the news, although the elders refused to confide in themselves, but from their words, it was inferred that it was the Shizi family who spread the news.

Using the reason that Bailu Cave had a heart of disobedience, Shi Chong actively persuaded Cao Shou, hoping to obtain the military power of the Second Army, in case Zhou Gongjin and Shimen should join forces to subvert Al Tieno. Cao Shou has been extremely wary of Bailu Cave in recent days, although he has not yet promised Shi Chong's recital, but he has returned Zhou Gongjin's request to return to Zhongdu and his party.

With a deep connection to the White Deer Cave, Izumi Sakura doesn't feel like she can stay out of it, but she also has her own things to do. What Shi Chong is planning, although he is not sure, most of them have a relationship with the Dragon Clan, and since the Dragon Clan was invited to attack the North Gate Tianguan, such a message was displayed. The problem is that cooperating with Shi Chong is a hundred times more dangerous than seeking skin with a tiger, and he must stop it before the damage is done.

After about a day and a night of rushing towards Shanglong Mountain, Izumi Sakura suddenly stopped in mid-air and felt a breath that should not exist here, the breath of a dragon.

There are quite a few of them, not just one or two, but a huge number of nearly fifty, and they are flying towards this side at high speed.

Why did the Wyvern leave Thang Long Mountain? There are no important towns in the vicinity, and it is impossible for the dragons to attack anything in the territory of Eltino, so the most likely thing is that they are coming at themselves?

In the momentum of the rapid flight, there was no hostility, which seemed to be the most gratifying thing at the moment, but Izumi Sakura didn't dare to be too optimistic and waited with bated breath.

A group of flying dragons rode the wind and broke through the clouds, coming extremely fast, and getting closer, Izumi Sakura couldn't help frowning, and looked at this group of clansmen in amazement, covered in blood, with broken battle armor, most of them with wounds, obviously breaking through from a dramatic fight.

What they rode was just an ordinary green dragon and a red dragon, not the golden dragon that attacked the North Gate Tianguan this time, however, under normal circumstances, the dragon clan would not leave Shenglong Mountain casually.

"Clan Master!"

Seeing Izumi Sakura from a distance, this group of dragon knights shouted loudly, rushed over, and arrived in front of them in a blink of an eye.

"It's great to see you, the clan is in turmoil, we ......"

One of the dragon knights at the head spoke breathlessly, and her voice was a little weak, and Izumi Sakura moved closer to him, trying to hear clearly, but as soon as she got closer, one of her hearts sank.

Although his voice was weak, when he got closer, he found that his breath was actually even, not at all like he was seriously injured, and the smell of blood on his body was mixed with the smell of other beasts, obviously the blood of other creatures.

Obviously he wasn't injured, why did he deliberately pretend to be like this to deceive people? The answer was too obvious, especially when there was a burst of irrepressible murderous aura coming from the rest of the clansmen, Izumi Sakura couldn't help but smile bitterly.

On the one hand, this is a fact that has been known for a long time, but on the other hand, there is some emotion, why are the clansmen so brainless? Even if they really want to assassinate, they should spend some thought, and with such a clumsy scheme, who can they deceive? Moreover, if they did not dispatch the strongest golden dragon, they could only rely on more than fifty ordinary dragon beasts, even if they were raided, how could they hurt a heavenly martial artist?

Izumi Sakura was saddened, and the man continued to speak, telling Izumi Sakura that there was a big chaos in the clan now, and the three elders led by Elder Shensi strongly advocated cooperation with external forces, but some of the clansmen were dissatisfied with the style of the Shizi family, and advocated that even if they cooperated with external forces, they should be with a famous and decent family like Bailudong, and should not unite with evil demons like the Shizi family. The two sides were at a stalemate, fierce clashes broke out, and finally a bloody struggle began.

"We are the faction that hopes to unite with the White Deer Cave, and we are very much looking forward to the return of the clan master, leading us again, and stabilizing the ...... of the dragon clan."

After calming her thoughts for a while, Izumi Sakura had come back to her senses and said with a faint smile: "But, isn't it shameful for a woman to lead the Dragon Clan?

"No, the past was our ......"

"If you go against your will, let's save it, and if you continue to lie like this, other compatriots will be too nervous, and they will soon be unable to set up a killing formation, while the formation is still complete, let's do it now!"

The plot was revealed, and everyone changed color, ready to drive the wyverns to attack, but all the wyverns just roared loudly and flicked their tails, but they couldn't make any moves. Everyone was shocked, but they found that they were trapped on the dragon's back, unable to breathe and unable to move.

When you look closely, under each wyvern, a looming atmospheric vortex appears, rotating rapidly, and the wind pressure traps the wyvern, and even locks the knight on the dragon's back.

"You should know that dragons are creatures that fly in the air, and their feet are on the clouds and air currents, which is the most favorable battle environment for dragons, don't you think that you can win me in this environment?"

The strength broke through to the strong heavenly position, and on the way Izumi Sakura had been working hard to study and use the method, and now he tried the magic for the first time, and it was far better than before, within such a distance, more than fifty dragon cyclones appeared at the same time, suppressing every flying dragon.

"If I cast my power and the Ascending Dragon Cyclone tightened in full force, you all know very well what the consequences would be, so, answer my question honestly. ”

Cold words, when Izumi Sakura's gaze swept over all the clansmen, a kind of majesty that had not appeared before, shocked this group of dragon warriors, even if there were one or two conceited martial arts and wanted to speak out against the stubborn people, the ascending dragon cyclone bound on their bodies suddenly tightened, forcing them to be speechless.

"When did the elders unite with the Shi family?"

"Listen...... I heard that a few years ago, the Shi family sent a secret envoy to Shenglong Mountain, and Elder Shensi went to Zhongdu to have a secret talk with Shi Junhou, then, at that time, you were still studying art in Bailu Cave......"

Learning art in Bailu Cave is the explanation of the elders to the clansmen, after all, it is not a glorious thing for the head of a clan to recuperate and wait for death in Hangzhou, and Quan Ying gasped when she heard this, and she didn't think that before she took over the throne of the clan in her own *, the elders had already had contact with the Shi family.

In this way, it seems that it is their own appearance that has disrupted the original plans of the elders, and it is no wonder that they are so eager to banish themselves and get everything back on track.

From the mouth of the clan, Quan Ying roughly figured out that the Shi family and the dragon clan agreed to combine the forces of both sides to enter and exit the world together, and when the Shizi family got the entire Al Tienor, they would sweep away the martial arts again, and at that time, they would hand over the current territory of the martial arts to the dragon clan to rule, so that the name of the dragon clan would prestige the entire Wind Continent.

After hearing this, Quan Ying was really a little funny, although the ambition of the elders is not small, but the vision of judging reality is too shallow, if you want to win the martial arts, is it not easy? Wang Zishi's family is strong and strong, the soldiers use their lives, the seven major sects should be the first, and there is also an unshakable Heavenly Sword King Five, the dragon clan wants to confront it head-on, and it is not much different from sending him to death.

This dream can only be intoxicated out of thin air, and it has not been realized for a day, and the poor people are still delusional about this big cake in the air, it seems that they have been isolated from the world for thousands of years, and it is really wrong.

It is not surprising that the Shi family intends to control the entire Eltino, with the current power of the Shi family, it is only one step away from rebelling against the usurpation, but after thinking about it, it seems unreasonable that the Shi family will tell the dragon clan this plan so frankly.

"We have power, we are so powerful, why should we shrink down on a cold mountain and live a poor life for thousands of years? What kind of god's mission, we are fed up!"

"Finally, answer me another question, I don't blame you for wanting to pursue power, but why do you want to hurt innocent people when fighting?

"Humans are simply creatures lower than us, what's the point of killing them casually? They kill pigs and sheep, and we kill them, what's wrong with that? Anyway, these things are very good at ......."

Seeing the clansmen say this almost arrogantly, the shock in Izumi Sakura's heart was indescribable, and she couldn't imagine that the concept of the clansmen had been distorted to such an extent. Human beings have a very strong reproductive ability, which is the reason that the demons often said when they killed humans in the past, and the dragons who should maintain the righteous path in the world said the same reason as the demons, which is really ironic.

"I really want to give you a punishment here, but forget it, the punishment that can't convince you is just a simple violence by force, there is no point, you go back and tell the elders......"

Izumi Sakura felt a little ridiculous, because no matter what words she bringed, it was impossible to have any effect, and the development of things could no longer be stopped or changed with words, and it seemed that she still had to ......

Just as she was about to let these clansmen go back, Izumi Sakura's heart suddenly appeared with an alarm, and she dodged, avoiding a heavy claw that passed by when the green dragon crack exploded in front of her.

The sneak attack didn't end when Izumi retreated, and the chain of claws chased straight up, causing her to be at a disadvantage for a while, and she flew diagonally upwards and backwards until she came back to breathe, and a dragon cyclone blasted out, intercepting the enemy and forcing him back, which stopped his chain of attacks.

The other party's concealment technique is very homely, hiding in the body of the dragon beast, and when his mind is relaxed, even the most sensitive dragon blood can't sense his existence, if it weren't for a strong hatred, let himself be vigilant, maybe he would have suffered a big loss under the attack.

Although the man's body was still covered in blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly, Izumi Sakura's reason had already figured out the answer. If you can not arouse the vigilance of the dragon blood in your body, unless the other party is also a dragon clan with dragon blood, but there will be no master in the dragon clan who can take your own blow head-on, coupled with that unusual strong sense of hatred, looking at the whole wind continent, there is only one person.

"The Ao clan master has been absent for a long time, I haven't seen him for a while, and his martial arts seem to be stronger than when he was in Japan, I don't know if the things in my head have grown some......"

The strange luck is not to evaporate the water with the heat of the true qi, and the blood stains covered by Hua Tianxie's body quickly dry up in an inobservable form, and after a few strokes, there is no trace of it, returning to its original appearance.

Izumi Sakura frowned, Hua Tianxie's actions were undoubtedly demonstrating to herself, but she couldn't see what he was doing, which was also a fact. Thinking of the humiliation of being seriously injured by this man's plot at the North Gate Tianguan that day, the anger in his chest surged up. The presence of this person seems to be very irritating to one's own anger, making it impossible for oneself to think calmly as usual.

"You came just in time, I heard that you and Shi Chong are fellow travelers now, and you are a traitor who plotted a plot to harm my dragon clan, do you also have a copy?

With a flick of her wrist, Izumi Sakura threw out the chain red gun. Because of the ease of carrying, she has been using this weapon since returning from Japan, although it cannot be compared to the spear of Longi Crossbow in terms of lethality, but it is believed to be enough to deal with the person in front of her.

With the vermilion gun in his hand, the sense of oppression exuded by Izumi Sakura's body instantly multiplied, and Hua Tianye obviously felt this pressure, but he didn't have a weapon in his hand, so he just turned his head sideways coldly, glancing at the group of dragon knights who were left behind by the two of them in this round of chase.

"The dragon clan's martial arts are light and agile, and the turn is as good as you want, but I also have the confidence that is not inferior to yours, if I rush into your people and go on a killing spree, how can you stop me?

Hua Tianxie's cold words were the place where Izumi Sakura was most worried. She was worried before that if she started with Hua Tianxie, under the influence of this distance, the clansmen would be seriously damaged, not to mention that if Hua Tianxie deliberately hurt people, she would not be able to save everyone.

Among the current female warriors, Izumi Sakura is an extremely rational and intelligent person, but even she doesn't know how to deal with such a despicable tactic, so she can only hold the red spear tightly, calculate the position, and prepare to strike first, and act before Hua Tian's evil action, so as to quickly control it and prevent him from approaching the clansmen.

"It's a very good tactic to fight fast!" Hua Tian said evilly: "But this tactic won't come in handy, because I don't plan to play those little tricks this time, but I want to see how much strength you, the former patriarch of the dragon clan, still have." ”

"What else do you have to do besides playing tricks?"

"In the eyes of you good people who have everything going smoothly, of course, everyone else will only play tricks, and maybe one day you will be asked to look up as a weakling, and then you will have a different feeling. ”

"Do you want to say that you used treachery because you were not strong enough to use treachery? This is sophistry at all, your heart is cruel and slippery, even if one day you are stronger than me, you will continue to use these despicable methods. ”

"Yes, I suddenly looked forward to that day when I heard you say that. ”

After finishing speaking, Hua Tianxie had changed his body and attacked Izumi Sakura in a strange way, reminding her that this person had also disguised himself as Chireth not long ago, and his body was strange and unpredictable, and it was indeed difficult to deal with.

With a flip of her wrist, Izumi Sakura sent out several ascending dragon cyclones in a row, blocking the surrounding approach and preventing Hua Tianxie from having a chance to get close to her.

The fierce winding cyclone, sucking at everything it touched, although Hua Tianxie's body was strange, it was also disturbed when it was close and slowed down.

And when the suction of a cyclone involves the corners of the clothes, and several cyclones surround it, if it is successfully encircled, several cyclones merge and expand, then there is only the share of slaughter, Hua Tianxie has to give up the tactic of gaining the upper hand with his body and fight back with all his might.

Izumi Sakura had no intention of leaving her hand at all, and took advantage of the fact that Hua Tianxie was affected by the cyclone, and the red spear turned into a red rainbow and stabbed straight at the enemy.

The situation was so urgent, Hua Tianxie didn't dodge, raised his right arm to face the gun, and as soon as he made contact, a series of bone shattering sounds erupted from his right arm, flesh and blood flew sideways, and a huge bite wound appeared, and he was severely injured by the burning city gun.

Izumi Sakura was stunned by the strange tactics, and when the gun's strength could not continue to break through, wounding the enemy's chest as intended, she quickly turned from surprise to wariness. He attacked with the strength of a strong heavenly position, and it was natural for Hua Tianxie to raise his arm to block the frame at this distance, and he was hit hard, but he was able to block the strength of the gun after being injured, which showed that his strength had also reached the strong heavenly position.

(It's no wonder that he also benefited a lot from Japan's Genki Caves, and cheapened him...... ）

The strength of the gun was blocked, Izumi Sakura shook the barrel of the gun, and was about to change his move and attack again, but Hua Tianxie's right arm, which was heavily damaged, healed at an astonishing speed, and before it was completely healed, he grabbed the barrel of the gun with his backhand.

The healing speed that is not inferior to the Aether Immortal Body is by no means unusual among the demons, and Izumi Sakura, who also has a demonic physique, also knows that it is inferior, so she confirmed that the degree of demonization of Hua Tian's evil body is far greater than her own, and she is almost already a pure-blooded physique of the Demon Realm royal family.

Something surprising happened, and Hua Tianxie's internal strength came along the barrel of the gun, and Izumi Sakura's palm hurt, a pain similar to being corroded, which strongly stimulated the nerves.

Having fought several fierce battles with Lancelot, Izumi Sakura was quite clear about the fortune of the Heavenly Demon Spirit. When she fought against Hua Tianxie before, she suspected that this was a similar technique that she couldn't learn from the Heavenly Demon, but this time, as Hua Tianxie's martial arts improved, the internal strength characteristics were obvious, and Izumi Sakura noticed the difference.

Heavenly Demon Gong is a unique method of movement of the demon race, absorbing the essence of flesh and blood, transforming it into pure energy, and supplementing it as its own strength. And the strength that Hua Tianyi exerted at this time was to dissipate a large amount of water in the places he touched, making it dry and wrinkled, and cutting off his vitality, at first glance, it was indeed very similar to the corrosion power of the Heavenly Demon Gong, but the two had different means.

"The secret legend of the Medici family, the most powerful 'extinction' among the seven gods of the world, tastes very good, right?"

Hua Tian said evilly: "Although it is not as good as the orthodox Heavenly Demon Skill, it can absorb the enemy's vitality for its own use, but at least it is the same in terms of lethality, I don't know if compared with the Dragon Clan's peerless learning, who will win or lose?"

Busy urging to resist the power of the Extermination Divine Skill, Izumi Sakura was still puzzled in her mind, how could the Medici family have such a strange secret mastery, and how could it reach Hua Tianxie?

Not only did she not guess, but even Hua Tianxie herself wondered why Shi Chong, who was the sworn enemy of the Medici family, would have this supreme secret knowledge of the Medici family, and more generously pass it on to herself.

He only knew from Shi Chong's mouth that Kublai Khan in order to create a unique ancient and modern magic skill, and created the prototype of the Seven Divine Perfections of the World, after the application of martial arts in all kinds of outer doors has been completed, but regretted that the power of the purple electric magic skill passed down by the family is limited, and the Seven Divine Magic Absolute has not been pushed to the ideal peak, so he delved into the martial arts of each school, and after some painstaking thinking, he thought that the Heavenly Demon Gong was the peak masterpiece of internal strength that could be called the first in the world, so he was determined to reproduce the Heavenly Demon Gong.

Born too late, Kublai Khan did not have the opportunity to see the actual power of the Heavenly Demon Gong, so he could only reshape it according to the classic materials, and finally created the seventh absolute of the Seven Divine Perfections, the Extinction Divine Skill, a destructive martial art that he believed was not much different from the Heavenly Demon Gong. Because he knew the fear and hatred of the heavenly demon gong in the human world, Kublai Khan never used this set of martial arts in public, and after he failed to mutiny and died, Shi Chong, who infiltrated Medici's house to carry out sabotage work, took advantage of the chaos to obtain the secret of exterminating the divine skill.

It is naturally ironic that the heroes of the human world actually practice the martial arts of the king of the demon world. Hua Tianye couldn't figure out why Shi Chong didn't practice this magic skill, but let himself practice it, but at least for now, he was very satisfied with the power brought by this magic skill, so that he could attack the enemy by surprise at this moment.

has not been able to fully exert the essence of the power of the extermination divine skill, and the skills of the two sides are not far apart, Hua Tianye and Izumi Sakura were in a stalemate for a while, and they failed to distinguish the winner or loser. When Izumi Sakura was about to send out two more cyclone assists, Hua Tianxie suddenly withdrew his palm, let go of the handle of the gun that was firmly held, and then closed his palms, and an invisible strange pressure preempted Izumi Sakura's cyclone, affecting her movements.

(No, it's the "palm" of the Medici family...... ）

Even the most mysterious extinction of the Seven Absolute can be practiced, and there is no reason why Hua Tianye should not practice the remaining Six Absolute Perfections, Izumi Sakura was shocked by this, but she took a step slower, and was close to Hua Tianxie's side, and a palm was imprinted on her shoulder.

Supplemented by the extermination of the divine skill, the power of the palm is amazingly strong, Quan Sakura's chest was suffocated, and in an instant, the real qi was scattered, the whole body was sore, and he fell backwards, but Hua Tianevil did not please him, while the palm was imprinted on the enemy's shoulder, Quan Ying, who knew that he could not avoid it, immediately made a decision, burst the gun, and also injured Hua Tianevil with the strength of the burning gun, preventing his pursuit.

Fierce attack and defense, purely in terms of injury, Hua Tianxie was seriously injured, and Izumi Sakura, who had lost her weapon, was preparing to recover her qi to suppress her injury, but she was shocked by the majestic momentum below, dozens of powerful shock waves, centered on herself, and attacked fiercely.

(How can there be such a usage of the Golden Dragon?)

Raising her eyes, she only saw Hua Tianxie's mocking sneer, Izumi Sakura used all the power she could transport in a hurry to protect her whole body, and the next moment, her figure was engulfed by dozens of powerful pillars of golden light.

※※※

Soon after Izumi Sakura fought with Hua Tianxie, less than twelve hours were left before Alterno's sacrificial ceremony, the elders and deacons of the White Deer Cave were extremely anxious about the situation in front of them, because not only were they not sure whether Grandmaster Lu You would attend at the emperor's invitation, but they didn't even have the courage to step into the ice cave and ask questions.

Without the power of the Heavenly Position, and not Lu You's personal disciple, trespassing on the forbidden land is a capital crime, how can anyone dare to risk death to ask to see?

At this time, they invariably remembered two people. If Generalissimo Zhou was in the White Deer Cave at the moment, and there was someone who could influence Lu You's decision, things would be much easier; if Tao Qian, the former head of the White Deer Cave, had not resigned and left, someone would be able to enter the forbidden land, and everyone would not have to worry about being like a headless fly.

At this time, a sudden letter arrived, breaking the deadlock. The letter was sent to Lu You by name, and the letter was personally opened by the grandmaster himself, and Bailu Cave received a lot of it in the past, from challenges, apprenticeships, to hasty requests for help, which were usually destroyed directly, and there was no need to submit them at all, wasting the grandmaster's time.

But this letter has become a special case because of the identity of the sender.

In the corner of the envelope, the words "Amakusa Shiro" were written, and everyone at first did not believe it, but laughed loudly, until an elder who tried to open the letter and read it was destroyed on the spot by the power of the heavenly position contained in the envelope, which proved the authenticity of the letter.

Unable to do anything about it, the elders shot the letter into the ice cave after asking for instructions. No one knew what the letter was about, until a short time later, the seven elders with the most seniority were summoned into the ice cave.

Kneeling at the entrance of the cave, the seven of them trembled, not daring to look into the smoke-filled cave. From that majestic voice that made them tremble, they learned of the Grandmaster's instructions that he was about to attend the celebration of the Imperial City.

It was naturally a good thing to be able to continue to stabilize the relationship with Altino, however, the Grandmaster's tone revealed unusual information.

"The matter that should be over, after all, there must be an end, since the old people of thousands of years have an invitation, this date is not to go. ”

From this sentence, some people guessed that most of the letters sent by Amakusa Shiro were challenge letters, and the location was about the Imperial City of Eltinor.

(How bold, to be there, but like this...... ）

None of the elders could answer what would happen if it continued like this, but they only secretly prayed that the White Deer Cave would continue to stand tall in this coming storm.
