Chapter 187: Victor's Plan (5,000)
The sudden outbreak of the ancient city barracks caused the entire ancient city guard system to fall into a state of semi-paralysis. Patrols in the surrounding towns were abolished, and due to the lack of manpower, some soldiers stationed at the sentry were temporarily repatriated - although the ancient city was a city run by the nobility, the vast majority of the nobility were not allowed to have excessive private soldiers.
For example, the Lin clan in Seoul before, their private soldiers were only that cavalry team and some small wave troops stationed in the city. The main force to defend the city is still the barracks rooted outside the city.
There are also guards in the barracks of the ancient city, and if it is a normal situation, the guards should temporarily assume the duties of the officers before such an emergency to ensure the normal progress of daily tasks. However, it is very unfortunate that the guards of the ancient city were not in the city before today because of their mission.
So now for the Zhang family, who is in charge of the ancient city, it is undoubtedly very busy. The effectiveness of the barracks was also temporarily suspended.
And the Zhang family's handling of the incident was also timely, and although uncertain, the Zhang family's principal still chose the city ban more wisely.
Regardless of whether the sudden explosion of the barracks that led to the death of the chief was man-made or really accidental, the Zhang family knew very well that no situation could be let go at this time, and the importance of the personal safety of these travelers in the city and the people who came to prepare for the anniversary festival was still on the investigation of the incident.
And after the news of the ban on the city was announced, the Zhang family immediately organized their own private soldiers to carry out normal security patrols in the city. And soon discussed with the mercenary association and other larger forces in the city, and worked together to ensure that accidents would not happen again.
I have to say that the Zhang family's handling is still very good, if it is a general emergency, there is no big problem with such a treatment. But the Zhang family didn't know that their behavior was just in line with the thoughts of the people who wanted to see this scene.
And all this happened, and some of the more sensitive people in the city have already smelled the breath of the wind and rain. Although they may not know what is happening, the sudden imposition of the city ban, and the replacement of the patrols of the army soldiers by the nobles' private soldiers and mercenaries, there seems to be something interesting about this ancient city!
Not every one of the Anniversary Travelers came to visit the Anniversary Festival, but many of them were for the Anniversary Festival, and many of them were experts in some fields, and many of them had a strong confidence in their own abilities and a sense of adventure. These people will not stay in the city in peace, waiting for the city ban to be lifted.
Soon there were rumors in the ancient city that there might be a wave of demonic beasts around the ancient city, so now the city is under martial law, and the soldiers have already started to protect themselves outside the city!
This kind of rumor is still very panicked for people, but there is not much panic, because the Golden Continent is best known for its name as the "safest continent". In the entire Golden Continent, there was not a single danger zone with an evaluation of more than seven stars, and there were even very few danger zones with a rating of five or six stars.
In fact, this thing is also normal, the Golden Continent is the most powerful continent among the five continents of the human race, and with great strength, it is not a difficult thing to clear the dangerous zone on the continent. It is said that in the past, the Golden Continent was also a place full of dangers, but it was because when humans migrated from the Red Continent to the Golden Continent, they were once afraid of being invaded by demons in the Red Continent.
Therefore, the human race did not spare any strength, and went all out to drive away or destroy most of the dangerous areas and other powerful creatures on the Golden Continent. And the reason why the Golden Continent has so many cities is the same. In those days, the city could actually be regarded as a barracks, and people were built wherever they went. And the creatures that originally inhabited the Golden Continent were also driven into some dangerous places around them.
However, this has also made those dangerous places more dangerous and difficult to conquer.
For example, the four forbidden areas, such as the death dragon scales where the Golden Continent and the Silver Continent intersect, which were originally called the "Gold and Silver Forest", and the "Time Abyss" of the Red Continent, which is very close to the Golden Continent, both of which were flooded with a large number of creatures fleeing from the Golden Continent in that era, and once became impossible for people to approach.
It is said that the Gold and Silver Forest was not originally a place where magical beasts lived, nor was it a place for alien races to operate, but it was because of the clean-up activities of the Golden Continent that the Gold and Silver Forest became a high-risk area. Decades ago, after the dragon appeared and settled in the Golden and Silver Forest, it was renamed the "Death Dragon Forest" and became one of the four forbidden areas.
And some of the Warcraft alien races who were forced to have no way out also gathered in some dangerous places in the Golden Continent, and resisted the attack of humans with difficulty, becoming one of the few dangerous areas on the Golden Continent now.
However, these are not important, although they have created several more dangerous places, but in general, the Golden Continent is a lot more peaceful, and because of the strength of the Golden Empire on the Golden Continent now, it is almost impossible to see any other countries or forces dare to attack the cities of the Golden Continent. Therefore, in addition to being on standby, the biggest task of the city troops on the Golden Continent is to prevent the attack of demonic beasts.
The reason why a danger zone is called a danger zone is not only because of the presence of dangerous creatures, but also because there is a danger in that place. This is the case with the branch of the Silver Continent of the Azure Family. There are no too dangerous creatures there, and even an ordinary team of mercenaries would dare to explore. However, the problems in that place itself, coupled with the transformation of the Sky Blue Family's magic array, have become an extremely dangerous place.
And there are many places in the danger zone of the Golden Continent, either the living conditions are too precarious, or because of the scarcity of resources, or because of the hatred of the humans who drove them. It is also possible that all three, and the Warcraft alien race will start a beast tide in most areas and attack people's locations. And at this time, the role of the soldiers defending the city comes.
Looking at the people coming and going in the city, as well as the private soldiers of the Zhang family wearing extraordinary equipment, the legend about the tide of Warcraft has been spread more and more, and the so-called three people have become tigers, and many people have taken this matter seriously.
"My lord, there seem to be rumors circulating in the city that there will be a wave of demonic beasts around the ancient city, do you want to refute the rumors?" And at this moment, Zhang Ziyi, who was temporarily commanding the troops in the command post, and the son of the prime minister of the Golden Empire heard the report of his subordinates, raised his eyebrows, and quickly said:
"There's no need to refute rumors, it's better to do nothing, just keep patrolling. After Zhang Ziyi finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to deal with the problem, waving his hand, "You go down." β
"Yes!" the subordinate nodded and left the command post, while Zhang Ziyi laughed while handling business.
"If it were known that the barracks outside the city had been suddenly attacked and that an Imperial general had died, the storm caused by such rumors would not be comparable to the Monster Tide. β
Zhang Ziyi sighed and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes with his hand, his father Zhang Wuyun had not come back before because of the imperial anniversary festival. And now the Zhang family is in charge of his business, and everything that happens now is for him to judge.
And he also controlled the soldiers in the barracks from the beginning and did not arrange them to carry out tasks. The reason is simple, the place where the accident occurred at that time was in the barracks, almost in plain sight, and these soldiers were also involved in the search for officers. There are quite a few people who know about it. Once they are allowed to enter the city to continue their mission, then there will inevitably be chaos, so it is better to let the population shortage than to make people panic.
However, Zhang Ziyi fell into deep thought, whether someone deliberately did such a thing and attacked a general of the Golden Empire, such a thing could not be considered wise. There must be some reason why the murderer should not be found now, but once their purpose is figured out, then it can be predicted what their intentions are.
Zhang Ziyi knew very well that the sudden explosion in the barracks and the death of officers and strategists were extremely unusual in itself, and it was even possible that if he didn't realize the problem, then maybe there would be some changes in the ancient city that he couldn't imagine!
Zhang Wuyun is very famous in the empire, known as a famous appearance, and his talent is unparalleled. Zhang Wuyun is only in his forties this year, and to some extent he can still be called "young and promising". Among the hundred officials of the empire who generally have a lifespan of more than 100 years, Zhang Wuyun has achieved great things with his own talents, worshipping the prime minister and being knighted as an earl. His talent was once praised by Zhao Feng - "the ghost talent of the world!"
And his son, Zhang Ziyi is also famous in the Golden Empire, the tiger father has no dog son, Zhang Ziyi has shown his proud ability since he was a child, and has a talent no less than his father, and even Zhao Feng once intended to let Zhang Ziyi, who was less than twenty-five, serve as an official in the imperial capital.
You must know that if the official position is sealed in the imperial capital, no matter what grade it is, it will be invisibly one level higher than the official position of each city, but no one thinks that Zhang Ziyi can achieve this point by relying on his father. Because Zhang Ziyi has also made some amazing achievements on his own, but Zhang Ziyi did not accept Zhao Feng's suggestion.
Because for him, the existence of one person in the empire has always made his competitive spirit difficult to calm - the Feng clan, rich as jade!
Few people know about the existence of Feng Ruyu, but for those who have the status of the imperial prime minister, the existence of the Feng clan is not a secret. And the Feng people have always been famous for their young geniuses.
The family of fate and prophecy, the descendants of the Feng people have always had a short lifespan, but each generation of the Feng people is amazingly talented. Wisdom shocks the world!
In particular, the last generation's world's first trick -- Feng Wei Meng! His life can be described as a legend, although others have no way of knowing, but Zhang Ziyi has heard his father since he was a child, and Zhang Ziyi can also hear his father's voice.
He fought against Feng Yimeng several times in the political field, but he was invincible. And it seems that His Majesty Zhao Feng also said to his father Zhang Wuyun - "Although you are a ghost, you are a ghost who plays ghosts with wisdom." β
It was not surprising later, because he longed for his father, and when he learned that Feng Weimeng had retired, his righteous son Feng Ruyu appeared. Zhang Ziyi has a feeling of encountering a fateful opponent.
Before Feng Ruyu entered politics, Zhang Ziyi would not choose to enter politics. He has to make the most complete preparations, defeat Feng Ruyu in one fell swoop, and repay his father's regret for Feng Weimeng!
It seems to be distracted again. Zhang Ziyi was stunned suddenly, then looked at the official document in front of him that he hadn't finished reading, and sighed helplessly, this is wrong with him
By this time, the sky had gradually become darker, and in some places it was completely impossible to see the surroundings.
For example, inside a cave.
Looking at the demon group around her in all kinds of strange postures that were fixed around her in the shape of a ball, Ellie's brows furrowed deeply, and these guys suddenly pounced on them as if they were crazy, knowing that if they got too close to their side, they would be frozen and unable to move half a step. But they chose to surround themselves anyway and they succeeded, they were surrounded by a human wall, and they couldn't see anything at all.
Even Ellie knows that it must be the magic general who ordered it, the purpose should be to make himself unable to pester him normally, and he also uses the law of time, Bedto is also very aware of Ellie's current state, and extends the time around him indefinitely, if this technique is strong and has a deep understanding of the law, it is able to create an enchantment that thousands of seconds are equal to one second, but the appearance of this enchantment, if there are too many enemies trapped in the enchantment, then the maker of the enchantment will also have inconvenience in moving, although I don't know what kind of time speed Ellie can reach, but with so many demon soldiers to fill the obstacles, even if it is difficult to move an inchγ
Using his men to entangle Ellie, Bedto was now in the depths of the cave, and his expression was no longer evil and gloomy as before, but a feeling full of respect and piety. It feels like a believer in the Holy Religion who goes to pray to the idol
However, Baideto is a demon general, it is impossible to worship their sworn enemy gods, and they themselves are first-class beings of gods and demons, what gods are worthy of their reverence? Then the identity of the person Baideto wants to see is naturally about to come out
"How's the situation?" A dark green fireball suddenly burst into the air, and from the fireball came the sound of chains, as well as a man's deep voice.
After seeing this fireball, Bedto hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty Vitdor, I'm sorry for the delay in today's report. The main thing is that something has happened. β
"Is the situation related to the human boy?" asked a deep male voice in the fireball, hearing what Bedto had said.
"Exactly" Bedto lowered his head, briefly recounted what happened today, and then said with self-reproach in his tone, "Failing to fulfill His Majesty's instructions, Bedto really deserves death!"
"Dragons and god-level humans?" the fireball floated for a moment, and Victor said in a faint voice, "And it seems that they had some restraints at first, which caused the power sense to be extremely weak, which is really interesting. β
"But, that's not an excuse for you not getting the job done!" Victor's voice suddenly became poignant and sharp, and there was a feeling that would make it very uncomfortable to hear it, "If I didn't need you now, you should know very well what your fate would be?"
"Yes, yes!" said Bedto, startled.
"But you said that the dragon was struck by my royal power, but his soul was not completely bound, and he woke up and left on his own?" Victor seemed to change back to his original tone after venting for a while, and continued to ask flatly.
"Yes, but based on the human woman's reaction, it seems that the dragon's actions were not his intention," Bedto added.
Victor fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something, and Bedto didn't dare to disturb Victor's thoughts, just knelt there, quietly waiting for Victor's next sentence.
After a long time, Victor finally spoke: "No matter what, the current situation does not allow the plan to fail, since you said that the dragon kid left suddenly, and that god-level woman didn't know why she didn't attack you, so the plan remains unchanged, let me catch that human boy with a 'seed' in his body!"
"However, I was afraid that the woman would stop me. Bedto thought about it, but still told the truth, "I am willing to give my life for His Majesty Victor, but based on the strength that woman showed before, maybe I am not her opponent." It is a small matter if I die or be sealed, once Your Majesty's plan is thwarted, then I will not be able to escape the blame!"
"That's true. The flames of the fireball flickered, and this time a face was reflected in the dark green fireball, which looked extremely terrifying, and the face was densely covered with various scars, which filled the whole face. In particular, the scar from the forehead to the chin looked as if someone had cut it alive from the top of the head and then sewn it back together!
"You are not very good at fighting under me, and among the three demon commanders and five demon generals, you can be said to be the weakest one. Victor didn't have much patience to lecture Bedto, "Well, I'm going to teach you a magic circle now, and you have to learn it right away, and set it up." This kind of magic array is a magic array developed by me during the time that I was sealed by humans, and I have continuously studied their sealing techniques, if you can use it, not to mention that even if it is a group of so-called human warriors, you can't escape!"
"Sealing, my lord, have you already broken the human seal?" asked Bedto, who shook his body and asked in surprise.
"Hmph, although humans are miscellaneous, this sealing technique is indeed a bit of a doorway, maybe those guys don't have a clue all these years. Victor's voice had a look of smugness that could be heard completely, "But who am I? I, Victor, have discovered and created the existence of a magic array! Although the sealing technique is good, after all, it is also based on the magic array I created, and it can't trap me at all!"
