"Zerg..."

Above the palace, as the gate slowly closed, the last rays of light faded away.

In the empty hall, only the two rows of gold-bottomed tiger striped lamps that stretched for 100 meters were still lit up with firelight.

After retiring from the crowd, Nan Zeli wandered left and right alone on the high platform, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was in deep thought.

All kinds of clues, events, mixed with time, come to mind like fragments.

"Fifty years ago, the Zerg tide washed the southern forests with blood, and the Jin Kingdom perished!"

As the memory emerged, Nan Zeli's eyes were also full of complicated expressions, the Nansen Kingdom he established single-handedly was built on the ruins of the Jin Kingdom.

"Jin extinguishes the south..."

At this moment, the Nansen Dynasty can be said to have the blood of the ordinary Jin Kingdom, and even he Nan Zeli was once an old minister of the Jin Kingdom.

"Thirty years ago, the Nansen Kingdom was guided by a master, and the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition reached its peak, and the territory under its jurisdiction was a harmonious color, which was praised by everyone."

Thinking of this, Nan Zeli's face first showed a touch of pride, and then it became dim again, and his eyes lost their light.

Originally, he was still in the prime of life, thinking that this time everything was just the beginning, but he didn't expect that now it seems to have become an untouchable peak.

A sudden wave of insects turned everything into a bubble.

Even though he was deployed layer by layer, with multiple protections, and even in the end, he took command and personally conquered the battlefield with blood, but it did not change the final battle situation.

Almost the entire southern forest of the huge kingdom fell to eighteen cities and slaughtered thousands of villages overnight.

At dawn, he retreated with his last men to the capital city, the city of the South Wind.

Standing on the city wall, he couldn't see the chance of winning by thinking about it in every way, and at one point he even wanted his life.

What Nan Zeli didn't expect was that the Zerg lined up in a line at a kilometer from South Wind City, spreading endlessly.

but he refused to attack.

In the end, as the sky brightened, the frightened Nan Zeli could not find any trace of the Zerg.

Since then, he has remained in this city of South Wind and has never been born.

Even if it was his subordinates pleading for mercy, or the people crying, he turned a deaf ear to it.

For decades, from the prime of life to the twilight, that scene would come to his mind every day.

It's like a nightmare, lingering.

Since then, the kingdom of Nansen has gradually declined.

In that disaster, the people who survived by luck no longer had anything to rely on and became so-called displaced people.

The demonic beasts in the forest are reproducing wildly without any constraints, and the danger level is increasing day by day.

"Nansen is destined to be eaten by insects, and he will not see the world crying prosperous..."

Over time, even the songs sung by children became bleak.

Nan Zeli, who had been cowering in the South Wind City, felt unwell day by day, and the feeling of the limit gradually became clear.

Although his heart was full of fear for the Zerg, Nan Zeli still retained the last glimmer of hope.

A group of skilled and tenacious subordinates were secretly selected from the army to form a forest insect squad, a total of three.

After ten years of hard training, he was secretly sent in three directions to search for and investigate the traces of the Zerg.

He wanted to get an answer about the Zerg before he died!

Do Zerg still exist in this forest?

If not, where did it go? Will it be back?

If so, is there a way to eliminate or negotiate peace?

In the past ten years, the three teams that were sent out have lost news one after another, and only the first team is still active.

Nan Zeli was also waiting indefinitely, his mental state became more and more trance-like, his head was full of white hair, and there were not a few strands of green silk missing.

After a long wait, he finally waited for the answer he had been looking for in the past ten years.

"All members of the first squad of the forest worm died at the hands of the zerg!"

This is not the news I wanted, and it is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

All three squads are destroyed!

The Zerg still exist somewhere in the middle of the forest, and they are extremely aggressive.

As for why the Zerg address was not returned... Nan Zeli also had his own inferences in his heart.

The Zerg are too powerful, there is no hope for revenge, there is no need to look for it!

This is what Nan Zeli literally interprets.

It would have been nothing if it had been just that, it was all he had expected, but something unexpected had happened.

Three princes, go and track down the whereabouts of the Zerg!

"Nanzifeng, arrogant and domineering, unbearable!"

Recalling the previous things, Nan Zeli commented on the princes one by one in front of the ministers.

Nan Zifeng, who was named, had a look on his face that he had never forgotten until now.

For this reason, he deliberately sent him out to Liyue Pass to experience some training, hoping to change his heart.

"The king... Do you need me to take a trip and bring the three princes back? ”

The originally empty palace echoed with another somewhat cold voice, which made people feel a little uncomfortable to listen to.

Nan Zeli, who was reminiscing, suddenly froze and seemed to be a little entangled.

"Time is also fate..."

"Hahaha..."

Nan Zeli, who was standing on the high platform, suddenly fell into a state of madness.

In the shadows, the man in the black and red robe, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly under the mask, but he didn't dare to think much in his heart.

He is now a poisonous knife from Nan Zeli, let him stab whoever he wants!

"Ah Guan, let's take a trip, within three days, it doesn't hurt if you can't find it."

"Remember... Don't get into trouble, don't come back with your tail! ”

Nan Zeli, who had returned to normal, slowly sat on the throne and said lightly.

"Yes!"

The black and red robe stepped out of the shadows, bowed slightly towards the high platform, and then turned away, disappearing from sight.

Shang Youwei, who hadn't gone far, occasionally looked back at the palace, and suddenly his pupils shrank slightly.

That adult actually came out!

"Your Excellency!"

Ah Guan passed by Shang Youwei's side, didn't look at Shang Youwei at all, and went straight to the city gate.

Shang Youwei kept his head down, not daring to look directly, but muttered silently in his heart.

"Shouldn't that lord be close to the old king?!"

Not daring to think about it, he also quietly touched a small building somewhere in the inner city, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

After sitting quietly on the throne for a while, Nan Zeli stood up with some trembling and walked to a stone statue somewhere in the palace.

Some brown speckled palms groped around the cold stone walls, as if looking for some button.

Finally stop on a stone slab somewhere and press it gently.

Click!

A crisp sound sounded, accompanied by a slight rumbling sound, and a dark tunnel leading to the underground appeared in front of Nan Zeli.

Picking up a lamp beside him, Nan Zeli's figure walked down the stone stairs towards the ground.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent tunnel, and Nan Zeli's eyes also showed a rare touch of clarity.
