Far east, the million-strong army of the imperial court is unstoppable in the desert region, constantly capturing and occupying oases, and the haze of war is getting closer and closer to the border of Dogurland.

At the same time, under the supreme order of Pertius, King of Dogurland, all circles of the kingdom were unified, and all 287 main battle legions in the whole territory were mobilized, except for the necessary forces to maintain law and order

The four elites of Dogulland, the king's personal soldier "Cardinal Guard Legion", Prince Bolton's "Personal Guard Legion", the Regnome family "Banshee Legion", and the supreme hero of the Laurel War "Lionheart Legion", all the active soldiers are all in the list, marching towards the eastern "Beacon Province", ready to face the main force of the Far East.

Bounded by the capital city of Fengyun Pass, the province is surrounded by mountains and mountains on the east side, reaching the desert, and the trees are green and green, which is a natural barrier against foreign enemies for the kingdom.

The wind and clouds are closed, and the country is not open.

Fengyun Pass is lost, and the enemy cavalry will be flat in the hinterland.

In the Laurel War 28 years ago, Doguland suffered the loss of Fengyun Pass, so this time, Persius learned a lesson, gave priority to ensuring a stable rear, invested a large number of troops around Fengyun Pass, dozens of legions were stationed in the forest, as a solid backing for the vanguard army, the residents of the border cities evacuated and retreated inland early, and the whole army was drawn into a fan-shaped front, which could be attacked and defended, and the tactics were complete.

Food, medicine, iron tools, and other war resources have long been prepared, and they are ready to fight a vicious battle from top to bottom.

At the same time, Percius, who had led his army on a personal expedition, had also arrived in the Beacon Province and arrived in Twilight City.

...

On the high walls of Twilight City, Pertheus and Chino stood side by side, looking at the black and oppressive military formation with blank faces, maybe it was some kind of tacit understanding, or maybe they felt that they had nothing to say, they did not exchange anything about Lu Ge and Ye Lingchen.

In fact, there is not much to say.

Since war is inevitable, it doesn't matter why it is fought, let alone holding a hat and throwing the blame, even if there are complaints, wait until after the war, this is the basic quality of a leader.

This time, the king's expedition was all elite, and the deafening sound of drills was constantly heard from the army station, and from time to time the cold light shining on the blades could be seen, and the morale of the army was unprecedentedly strong, and the spirit was fully displayed.

Perseus had taken off his usual royal robes and replaced them with an old suit of armor worn by him when he was first crowned 28 years ago when he led his army against the invasion of the Far East.

Now, 28 years later, the once high-spirited young king has aged a lot, but he is still sharp, and his appearance on the front line wearing this historical armor is a great encouragement to the soldiers.

Behind Chino, except for Lugo, who had been sent to the northern mining area and became a slave, the rest of the core members of the Death Legion were all listed, including the Shangguan sisters and brothers who defected.

These two have left a big shadow in their hearts since they were intimidated by Chino in the dungeon last time.

Especially Shangguan Ba, this big man was only 8 years old in intelligence, and his mind was incomplete, last time he was attacked by Chino's "abyss gaze", and he was directly frightened and incontinent, and now he will keep shivering when he sees Chino.

Shangguan Xue is not much better, she usually talks to others with her chin held high, a "dwarf", but when she touches Chino, she lowers her head, does not dare to look directly into his eyes, and speaks softly, like a docile cat tamed by her owner.

Percius turned his back to the Shangguan siblings and asked lightly, "You two, are you the three-clawed golden dragon who defected from Ye Lingchen's side?" ”

Facing the king, Shangguan Xue didn't have the courage to call him a dwarf, and responded in a low voice: "Yes..."

"Give me a reason not to kill you." Pertheus said.

"Huh-" In an instant, the sword light and sword shadow lit up, and the imperial guards whose strength was no less than that of the three-clawed golden dragon came out of their sheaths and covered the necks of the Shangguan sisters and brothers.

Persius turned his head, looked sideways at the frozen Shangguan sisters and brothers, and said coldly: "As a traitor in the Far East, you must have been on the court's list of hunts, and staying in the kingdom is a hidden danger. ”

"Don't say anything, you are a three-clawed golden dragon, you are very strong, and you can do things for the kingdom. You can even sell your own master, Ye Lingchen, and you have no loyalty at all, and the kingdom has no reason to accept your allegiance. ”

"In my opinion, killing you is to put an end to hidden dangers, and it is also a signal of friendship to the imperial court, which has advantages and disadvantages. If you really want to live, give me a reason I can't refuse. ”

Shangguan Xue pursed her thin lips, not daring to act rashly, but just looked at Chino deeply.

"There may not be a reason to refuse, but—" Chino pulled a document from his bosom and handed it to Percius, "they have value that cannot be ignored. ”

Persius took the file, opened it and looked at it, and soon understood what Chino meant.

This is a piece of information, an information about the masters of the Gyeonggi Imperial Court.

As the three-clawed golden dragon of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and once Ye Lingchen's confidant, Shangguan Xue has been in contact with countless internal secrets, what masters are in the court, what department does it belong to, what weapons are good at using, what martial arts are mastered, and what connections do they have with each other... All the intelligence is on this collated document.

This is not so much an information as a letter of nomination, Shangguan Xue is using it to show loyalty, to represent that he has completely dissociated himself from the Far Eastern Dynasty, and he is also using it to prove his worth.

Pertheus flipped through the information, the sense of oppression on his body receded slightly, and he returned the document to Chino after reading it: "Good value, but it seems to be incomplete, and the information of several "four-clawed golden dragons" is not on it. ”

Shangguan Xue whispered: "The information of the four-clawed golden dragon is in my head, and I haven't written it down. If I tell you everything, I will be worthless, and I may be killed by you at any time. ”

"I'm not very old, but I'm scheming." Perseus smiled briefly and said slowly, "Tell me all the information you have hidden in your head, and you can become one of the many Golanders." ”

Shangguan Xue's eyes were a little fluttering: "I need a strong guarantee, otherwise, in case you unload the mill and kill the donkey after you get the information, and kill us with your backhand, then..."

"The king's word is a strong guarantee." Perseus interrupted her directly, sneering and saying, "Whatever I say, that's what it is." ”

"Now, tell me the information about the four-clawed golden dragon, and you and your brother can live as members of Doguland."

"Or, I'll kill both of you at once and send your heads to the Emperor of the Far East."

"Two choices, choose for yourself."
