Chapter 40: Departure

The people in the square were gathering more and more, and people were constantly being escorted in by the guards in the palace, some by soldiers in armor, and some by a group of cavalry, and the cavalry escorted in was obviously much more noble, and it seemed that because of the different identities of each person, the procession to greet them was also different.

In the center of the huge square, there is a high platform, and there are four white jade stone steps at the four corners of the high platform, and a wide bright red carpet is laid under the stone steps, leading to the palace building in the depths of the palace.

All the guests sit on either side of the carpet, divided into four areas, each distinctly different. For example, in the area facing the Imperial Palace, the eastern area of the high platform is occupied by relatives of the Imperial Family, such as the princess and princess. To the west are princes, high-ranking officials, generals and others from all over the empire, and even people who can see the Temple of the God of War are also there, and Sun Xiaofei accidentally saw that Chen Luo and others are also among them.

On the other side, on the north side are many princes and nobles from various principalities, such as princes or representatives, Sun Xiaofei and many people who can't see that they are not weak in cultivation are in the southern area.

There was a laughing atmosphere at the scene, and many beautiful palace maids shuttled through with delicious food and wine to serve the guests in these four areas. The food and wine served here are prepared with great care, and they are even better than those cooked in the famous restaurants outside.

On the periphery of the palace square, countless soldiers in armor stood around, with solemn expressions, faintly exuding a solemn aura to ensure the safety of this square.

Sun Xiaofei could vaguely sense that around the palace, there was a powerful aura shrouded in nothingness, and these breaths made him feel strong danger, and these strong men hidden in the depths of the palace were the real guardian force of the entire palace. Sun Xiaofei sat with Erikson, Hess and others, chatting casually, waiting for the emperor to appear.

The master of ceremonies on the periphery of the square kept loudly announcing the identities and names of the guests present. The people sitting in the square heard it, and whether they recognized it or not, they would glance there. These people who can be invited to attend this kind of occasion are all people with great backgrounds, and it is not in vain to be able to take the opportunity to get to know each other. Most of the guests smiled and waved to greet those present, and then were led by the palace guards to sit in their corresponding positions.

Sun Xiaofei was an eye-opener this time, and he was able to see many big names at the top of the empire's power at one time, no matter which one of these people was, they were the masters of the deterrent side and controlled the fate of countless people outside. Normally, I just want to see them, but I don't necessarily be able to meet them, but now I can easily meet them with this opportunity.

Sun Xiaofei didn't know anything about everything in the palace, and some things were learned after hearing the conversation of the people present, or talking to other people.

Berg had the experience of entering the palace, and he was more familiar with the situation here, unlike Sun Xiaofei and other students who had just come out of the academy and had not yet entered the palace. Sun Xiaofei didn't understand many things, so he asked him to understand.

He knew from Berg that the guards of the imperial capital included the soldiers of the imperial palace, and they were all ranked. The lowest rank is the soldier wearing the khaki uniform, which belongs to the soldiers of the Imperial Capital City and can only guard the perimeter of the Imperial Capital City.

The soldiers stationed in the palace are graded according to the three types of brown, aqua blue, and black, with black being the lowest, brown being the highest, and aqua blue being the second. In addition, the palace is equipped with a large number of golden armor troops, the armor of ordinary gold armor soldiers is silver-white, the armor of high-level gold armor soldiers is dark gold, and only the armor worn by the highest-level gold armor army is golden yellow.

The minimum requirement to join the Golden Armor Army is to reach the Battle Division, the Golden Armor Army is divided into teams at all levels, and the leader of each team is cultivated to different levels, the weaker ones have the Battle King level, and the stronger ones have the War Emperor level. The cavalry regiment in the palace is an upgraded version of the Golden Armor Army, which is small in number but extremely powerful in combat.

However, the true guardian power of the imperial family is the Temple of the God of War. And not these gold-armored armies. The Golden Armor Army can only be used as a deterrent force on the surface, and it is the powerhouses of the God of War Temple who really play a role.

Every powerhouse of the God of War Temple, according to the level of cultivation and comprehension, can easily slaughter a golden armor army. They are the ultimate guardian of the royal family. A force of terror capable of intimidating the great nations and clearing out any potential threats and dangers.

"Arrive with the prince and the prince!"

As the master of ceremonies reported loudly, a richly dressed middle-aged man appeared on the red carpet, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his own compelling momentum emanated. Beside him were two young men, a man and a woman, who must be the children of this prince. Behind them there were a number of people, among them an old woman in black with an old face, with a simple cane, and the girl went to help the old woman, and the two walked together.

The identity of this prince is obviously very noble, as soon as he appeared, many flattering voices immediately appeared around him, and officials of all sizes went over to flatter him.

Sun Xiaofei followed everyone's gaze and saw the girl who followed Prince He, his face was stunned, he had already recognized it, the girl was the person who took over with him in Fengyulou.

The girl obviously didn't recognize Sun Xiaofei, but the old woman in black beside her glanced at Sun Xiaofei casually, and then quietly withdrew her gaze, and with the girl, surrounded by many officials and nobles who came forward, and sat down in the east area.

When Sun Xiaofei looked at the old woman in black, he felt a chill in his body, and he seemed to have a feeling of being seen through. His mind moved, and the primordial infant in the sea of consciousness used the inner binding seal to shield this detection power, and the soul power surged to annihilate this spiritual power.

These actions were completed in the blink of an eye, and the people around them only felt a slight mental fluctuation, and then disappeared without a trace. This situation also occurs from time to time on occasions like today, and everyone is accustomed to it.

"Huh......" The old woman in black sighed lightly, turned her head and glanced at Sun Xiaofei's location, with a little surprise on her face. For the first time in so many years, her spiritual detection failed, which naturally made her a little curious.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" the girl next to her asked, noticing her change.

The old woman in black smiled, shook her head and said, "It's nothing." ”

When the girl heard her answer, she didn't ask any more, and the girl's mind was already attracted by other things, and she no longer paid attention to the old man in black.

The meeting was very large, lasted for nearly an hour, and many people arrived one after another.

The characters who arrived later also had very noble identities and statuses, including some hidden powerhouses and veterans of many families. The flow of people continued one after another, and it was not until most of the personnel had arrived that there were some signs of subsidence.

At this moment, a loud bell rang in the palace, and the sound spread melodiously, and everyone in the entire palace could hear it. Everyone present knew that the bell represented that the Imperial Saint was about to appear, and everyone in the square got up to straighten their clothes, and Wei Zheng was in place to wait and see the arrival of the Imperial Sovereign.

Sun Xiaofei and the others were mixed in the crowd, and their eyes looked down the red carpet into the depths of the palace. There was a burst of beautiful vocal music, and a group of brightly dressed court maids, guards, etc., marched out in a row, towards the high platform of the square.

Behind these people, a large group of golden-armored soldiers in golden armor escorted two gorgeously dressed middle-aged men and women in front of everyone.

The man in the middle was about thirty or forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the lines on his face were resolute and powerful, and he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

Sun Xiaofei could see that the man in the middle was the current monarch of the Raptors Empire, Emigon. The others beside him, except for the glamorous queen, were the supreme powerhouses of the God of War Temple.

The monarch took the queen to the high platform, and the rest of the people guarded around the high platform. Only two strong men and women who cultivated to the unfathomable God of War Temple followed closely and ascended to the high platform, guarding the monarch and the queen.

The momentum of such an appearance greatly shocked everyone present. Suddenly, a wave of cheers resounded through the palace. Sun Xiaofei followed the others and saluted the Imperial Monarch Emigon and the Empress.

At this time, Amigong stood up, sat on the white jade wine glass in his hand, glanced at the ministers and princes and nobles below, and said lightly: "Today, this king is very happy to be able to invite all the princes and princes to come here and celebrate with this king. ”

The people below stood up and raised their glasses, facing the monarch Emigon, and motioned to drain the wine in the glass. At this time, whether it is a prince or a nobleman or a master genius, he must be under the authority of the monarch.

After drinking a glass of wine, Amigun said: "Today, the empire is going to send people to participate in the Four Nations Competition, and this game is of a vital role to our empire. The king hopes that the warriors of our empire will be able to achieve the final victory. The following is for the Elders of the Temple of War to announce the list of Imperial Warriors who will participate in this battle. ”

After a few simple words, Emigon threw the key items of this gathering to the elders of the God of War Temple to deal with.

Immediately, a purple-robed elder of the God of War Temple slowly appeared on the field, with white hair and blue eyes, and a weak look. However, none of the people present dared to underestimate this elder, and the elder of the God of War Temple alone did not dare to underestimate him.

The crowd fell silent and watched as the elder read out the list of battles. The elder's voice was a little hoarse, but the words were clear in everyone's ears.

As he read it, the man whose name was read came out of the crowd or flashed out, standing before him. Sun Xiaofei's name and Hess were read at about the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and their figures flickered, and they landed in front of the purple-robed elder almost in order.

After a while, I saw that in front of the purple-robed elder, there were many young and talented cultivation geniuses standing. After the purple-robed elder finished reading, he made a careful look to confirm that it was correct, and then handed over to the monarch Amigon.

Emigon looked at Sun Xiaofei and the others in the square, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the Golden Armor Army to send an elite team to cooperate with the powerhouses of the God of War Temple to escort them to the ancient city of Byron.

Everyone in the square said goodbye to these imperial genius elites who were about to go to the ancient city of Byron, and a farewell party began, and it was not until the strong men of the Golden Armor Army and the Temple of War were ready that they sent someone to urge them to leave, and this farewell banquet gradually subsided.

In the end, the monarch Emigon took the lead, led the nobles and princes of various countries, and sent them away.

Sun Xiaofei and the others, escorted by the elite team sent by the Golden Armor Army and the powerhouses of the War God Temple, left the Imperial Capital City, left Tianji City, and set off all the way to the ancient city of Byron in the Taburi Desert in the southeast of the mainland.

The same situation is happening in the other three countries, and the war between the four countries for the treasure of the ancient city of Byron officially kicked off.
