The City of Twilight.

Since a few days ago, after Richard left with the army.

The entire city was put into the highest level of defense.

The Megamouth Cannon adjusted its firing angle, and the Alchemy Bomb was fully loaded.

Sand archers are stationed in the tower at all times, and the dragon hunting crossbow on the top of the tower has already been wound.

Beneath the walls, swaths of dark treemen guard the city of dusk.

The poisonous wasps flying among these dry tree people are as dense as black clouds.

As long as there is an enemy attacking, these hideous defending forces can burst out with extreme destructive power at the first time.

When the orange-red sun sinks into most of the sand sea, the clouds in the sky are colorful.

The pale-haired Karui slowly climbed the city wall with his aging body.

One hand holds the wall battlements with a touch of warmth, looking into the distance.

The desert illuminated by the setting sun is like a golden coat.

But this magnificent picture has long been accustomed to people living in the desert.

Karui's face didn't change, and his gaze kept staring in a certain direction.

It's like I'm looking for something.

After a long time, black dots the size of ants suddenly appeared on the desert at the end of the line of sight.

His gaze froze.

Waving his hand to summon the mummy soldiers beside him, he just wanted to open his mouth to give an order, and stepped on~ A rush of footsteps came from behind him.

"Lord Karui, we've found two more teams of 100-strong homeless people ahead!"

Karui turned his head to look at the young human soldiers who had come to report and said in a deep voice.

"Follow the previous plan, bring the outcasts into the Dark Treant first, check for safety, and then put them in the city.

"At the same time, let the army expand the scope of exploration, and report any changes immediately."

Although the city of twilight did not train human soldiers to fight, it still recruited a group of security officers due to management needs.

In peacetime, it can maintain the environmental sanitation and law and order of the territory and deal with some neighborhood disputes.

When there is a shortage of manpower, they can also serve as a reserve for the rear army.

"Yes, sir!"

The other party left not long ago.

An army of the City of Twilight moved to stop the outcasts at the end of the dunes, and then took them to the Dark Treants for questioning.

After several rounds of questioning, he made sure that there was no problem, and then he entered the city with these homeless people.

Karui watched the scene silently, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Excellency Karui, this is the seventh batch of displaced people in the past two days."

In his deep thoughts, Karui was awakened by a voice coming from beside him.

Turning his head, he sighed lightly as he looked at the mummified hero beside him wrapped around his body with blood-colored bandages.

"Your Excellency, this is also my greatest concern."

With a bit of concern in his eyes, he looked at the displaced people who were being accepted according to the process.

"That kingdom of El is too mysterious, I've never heard of it."

Gaunt said softly.

"After the observation and interrogation in the past few days, it may be true that the El Empire is a force of other dimensional planes, as we speculated."

"These displaced people were all swept into the desert where the spatial turbulence appeared when they fled from that country."

Karui took a deep breath, his gaze growing.

"Your Excellency Gaunt, that's exactly what I'm worried about."

"Lord Richard has mentioned more than once that the Death Desert will merge with other planes in the future."

As he spoke, his face became extremely serious.

"I thought it wouldn't happen until a few years later, but now, things have changed."

"These outcasts from the kingdom of El confirm what your lord says."

The merging of other planes with the Desert of Death is definitely too bad news to be.

What is happening now is the outcast, and there is no harm to the City of Dusk, but what about the future?

Who can guarantee that there won't be any scary monsters?

And from the mouths of the exiles, I know that the force called the Kingdom of El has a million troops and rules over tens of millions of people.

If the opponent appears in the Desert of Death, they will attack the City of Dusk. It was an absolutely unacceptable disaster.

Fortunately, he had not yet found a fixed spatial passage in the place where the displaced people appeared, and at the same time, the El Kingdom was still in the midst of internal strife and division, and the other party's power was not concentrated.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable

Gaunt's voice also became muffled.

"Lord Karui, we need more armaments and supplies, a stronger army!"

Karui sighed.

"I've put the Crucible on full production of alchemy bombs and giant guns."

"The production workshop of the newly developed alchemy bomb has been built and will be put into production immediately."

"With Crucible City at full capacity, our alchemy bomb inventory can be replenished quickly."

"In terms of troops, the number of troops in Bloodhoof City has exceeded two legions, and they can support at any time"

Even if Richard transferred the main force of the City of Dusk to leave, relying on the background of the previous life and death, the defense force of the City of Dusk was still considerable.

While the two were talking, they saw the mummified hero Gray, wearing a crown on his head and two colorful laces floating in his ears, striding up the city wall.

Behind him was a middle-aged man with a fat figure, wearing a shiny gray robe, and a worried face.

"Master Karui."

Gray lifts his chest.

Although the two A-class mummy heroes had a high status in the military, in Richard's absence, Karui, an interior official who had never made a mistake, was the leader of the city at dusk.

As long as he does not violate the laws set by Richard, everyone is to be treated with sufficient respect.

Karui gestured and looked at the middle-aged man behind him.

"Gray, who is this?"

The middle-aged man said in a special language.

"My lord, I'm a civil official in the Kingdom of Eyre, Will"

Karui frowned slightly at the sound of the rattling.

Just as he was about to speak, the magic power on Gray's body surged, directly enveloping the two of them.

Special Magic - General Language.

Only then can the two communicate normally.

For this scene, Karui has been used to it for the past two days, and asked again, and after the other party answered, his eyes lit up.

A civil servant of the Kingdom of El? This is the highest-ranking person found in the past two days.

The previous homeless people, one counts as one, and none of them even knows how to read.

Except for knowing that the country he is in is called the Kingdom of El, and he was forced to flee his hometown because of the war, he knows very little other information.

I don't even know how I got to the Desert of Death.

The value of that information is really scratching heads.

"Will, how did you get to the Desert of Death?"

The middle-aged man said with a little fear on his face.

"I was hiding from the rebels, and then I suddenly felt dizzy, and when I opened my eyes, I found that it was desert."

Hearing this answer the same as the others, Karui frowned, everyone is the same way?

Gave up the idea of asking something on this, and changed the subject.

"Do you know that you're no longer on your plane? This is the main plane. ”

Will said bitterly.

"My lord, I just heard about it"

As he spoke, he glanced up at the colorful sky.

"Legend has it that our plane once had a spatial passage with the main plane.

"It wasn't until later that a terrible war broke the spatial passage, and we lost the news of the main plane, and even now there are people who doubt the existence of the main plane.

"It's strange to say, those rebels are searching for Her Royal Highness"

As he spoke, his eyes showed a little thought, and then his face changed slightly as if he had thought of something.

Karui was keenly aware of the other party's mood changes.

His eyes were forced to look at him, and he said in a deep voice.

"Will, what do you think of?"

Will was a little startled and said in a trembling voice.

"Those rebels released the news before that they wanted to arrest Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is said that Her Royal Highness the Princess went to the forbidden land of the Kingdom of El."

Karui couldn't hear it clearly.

"The forbidden land of the El Kingdom? What's in there? Does it have anything to do with your sudden appearance here? ”

Will hurriedly explained.

"I have legends about the royal family of El but I can't vouch for it."

"Say."

"Yes, sir."

Will organized his words for a moment and said in a quiet voice.

"It is said that the royal family of El has an ancient summoning array, which can summon giants who are 100 meters tall."

"At the beginning of the establishment of the kingdom of El, those giants played a huge role, and there are still statues of giants in the king's capital today."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"Also, the announcement from the rebels says that the summoning array is hidden in the forbidden place of the Kingdom of El.

"They have offered extremely high bounties, and even if they can find a summoning array, they can get the title of earl!"

As he spoke, his eyes were full of envy.

Earl, this is a nobleman, and he can't get it for ten lifetimes.

It was precisely because the reward was too generous that he took a few more looks.

"You mean, it was Her Royal Highness the princess who escaped into the forbidden land of the El Kingdom and activated the Ancient Summoning Array, and you came to the main plane at this time."

Karui studied the other man's expression.

Will nodded.

"That's just my guess, my lord. However, this has not been the case for millions of years, and it has appeared since the rebels issued a proclamation. ”

"It's hard for me not to connect these two things."

Karui turned his head to look at Gaunt.

Gaunt nodded slowly.

"The soul breath is normal, not lying."

Karui then withdrew his gaze.

My mind fell into thought.

That summoning array can directly open up the two planes?

What kind of summoning array is this, it's obviously a teleportation array

"Does the other party know that the summoning array has the ability to connect to the main plane?"

"You may not know it at first, but this kind of news can't be hidden from smart people."

Will replied honestly.

"Judging from the bounty offered by the other party, you may already know it."

Karui said thoughtfully.

"In your opinion, will there be more similar situations in the future? Can the Kingdom of El establish a fixed spatial passage with the main plane? ”

Will's face turned bitter.

The spatial passage connecting the main plane is a major matter related to the entire country, which can he know.

"My lord, I am only a low-ranking civil official, and I don't know much more information than civilians, so I can't make a judgment on these matters."

Karui thought about it the same way, and after confirming with Gaunt that the other party was not lying, he didn't dwell on the issue.

Changed the subject.

"What's going on with the rebellion in the Kingdom of El?"

Now the situation in the city of twilight is very delicate, because of the appearance of the outcast, that strange plane is likely to suddenly open the spatial passage to the desert of death.

When the time comes, no one knows for sure what will happen.

He had to know more about it so he could respond in advance.

Will said slowly.

"The Kingdom of El is home to a legendary top figure – the Angry Bloody Grand Duke.

"This Grand Duke has a dazzling experience, starting from the age of 12 to enter the army, fighting for forty years, making countless achievements, most of the army of the El Kingdom is brought out by him.

This also led to the great prestige and authority that the Grand Duke possessed after breaking through the transcendental.

"Perhaps it is also for this reason that the other party has strong ambitions, and then when the king personally conquered the abyss rift, the Grand Duke of Blood Fury chose to betray, killed the king, and ascended the throne himself!"

"The royal family of El was purged, and only two young princesses fled to the forbidden place of the royal family of El Ring."

In a few words, Will repeated the general situation.

Although the background of the grievances is simple, Karui's face is not very good-looking.

extraordinary

This keyword reminded him of the Lord of the Quicksands who was still in the territory.

In that battle, the city of dusk was full of blood, and seventy percent of the army was killed.

It was the most tragic since the establishment of the City of Twilight.

Now, a transcendent who doesn't know if it's an enemy or a friend can appear at any moment, which puts a lot of pressure on him.

Moreover, the other party also rules a kingdom with a population of tens of millions.

Judging from its rebellious behavior, it is clear that the other party is not a peaceful existence.

Such characters are often strongly aggressive.

Not to mention that the other party also offered a high bounty to find a summoning array that could go to the main plane.

Combining this kind, you don't have to think about it to know that the other party must have greater ambitions.

Friend or foe.

Karui immediately had a judgment in his mind.

After coming back to his senses, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes looked to the east of →.

More than ten kilometers away, the sandstorm is still sweeping the world, and the terrifying power is daunting.

There Richard left in the direction.

Take a deep breath.

My lord, we're in trouble again.

But this time, we're not going to let our enemies set foot in the City of Dusk again!

No one can provoke your glory!

Taking a deep breath, his gaze regained firmness.

"Send the whole army to patrol 24 hours a day, and once you find any changes in the space, report it immediately!"

"Also, to bring the Void Sandworm back from the underworld, I need it to find the plane."

"I don't want anything to happen in the City of Dusk during my absence."

As he spoke, he put his right hand on his chest and roared feverishly.

"For the City of Dusk!"

The aging body has a bit of a heroic demeanor at the moment.

Gaunt and Gray, who were beside him, were also holding their chests at the same time, and they whispered in their mouths.

"For. City of Twilight! ”

The momentum on his body was suddenly fierce.

This land is the territory of the masters, and they have to protect the faith with their lives.
