Without any hesitation, Ye Xingchen took all the members of the Luming Mercenary Group and the guards from the Yun family back to Ling Xue City non-stop.

"Ask to see the city lord, the Luming mercenary group has something important to report." Ye Xingchen hurriedly ran to the City Lord's Mansion office in the south of the city with the skeletal axes of the Blood Shadow Clan of the Reef Islands, and the gray-blue banners intertwined.

At this time, Ling Xue City was still in a peaceful state, and seeing Ye Xingchen and the others in such a hurry, the guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion Office saw the well-dressed Lu Ming mercenary group and the Yun family guards who were panting and looking sluggish, and hurriedly brought them into the office.

Looking at this Yun family guard with a not very good face, the guard also had a solemn face. Because the city lord is a member of the Yun family, his own people are so depressed at this time, they must have been treated unfairly, and if it is still a blatant provocation, it will be a big problem.

"Follow me." The guard took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions cleanly, allowing himself to quickly calm down and thus resolve the matter in an orderly manner.

"City Lord, the Luming Mercenary Group asks to see you. They came with your escort. The guards led the Luming mercenary group to the largest room, made a noise inside, and then walked out and returned to their posts to continue their duties.

"Come in, guys." The voice of a majestic middle-aged man came from the room inside. Obviously, the middle-aged man inside was the city lord of Ling Xue City, Yun Luo.

Yun Luo's title is earl, and he can be regarded as a powerful party in the north, and his position in the Yun family ranks fourth, among which Yun Luo's eldest brother will inherit the highest title of the Yun family head in the Duke of the Cloud Wind Empire, and the other two brothers of Yun Luo will inherit the marquis second only to the duke's title.

There are a total of fifteen descendants of the Yun family in this generation, including seven men and eight women, except for the eighth heir, the other descendants of the Yun family can only inherit the title of viscount.

From the point of view, Yun Luo's status in the Yun family is not low, at least it has a certain right to speak.

"What's the matter?" Yun Luo, who was wearing a brocade robe, looked at the gray-blue flag brought by Ye Xingchen, his face became solemn, and then Yun Gong looked at the flag carefully.

Then, Yun Gong's face gradually turned from solemnity to fear, and then to calm.

"Are those Reef Islands guys really here again?" Yun Gong looked at Lu Ming with a solemn face, and the others of the mercenary group were waiting. "That little plum, you go back to recuperate first."

Yun Gong did not forget to let his guard avoid it at this time.

It seems that this cloud gong is quite knowledgeable, and the existence of the reef archipelago is unknown to most people in the north. Because this bloody history, which has been sealed for more than 100 years, has gradually been hidden in people's sight, and then gradually forgotten and disappeared.

"Yes, they are really here, and their forces have even invaded the area around Lingxue City. I'm fighting a powerful Blood Shadow Clan today, and this Blood Shadow Clan seems to be their other prince, and he is an absolute genius among his peers. Ling Xuan's voice was slightly lacking in qi, it was obviously caused by the battle with the Prince of the Blood Shadow Clan, it was the first time in his life that Ling Xuan had collided one-on-one with a spirit of the same level, and there was no collision of any skills at all.

"In this way, the entire northern realm will become the first target of the Blood Shadow Clan." Yun Gong supported his chin with both hands, making a thinking appearance. "I need to send someone to inform the city lords of the other cities in the north as soon as possible, my side is short of manpower, and I need an urgent messenger to deliver the news to the imperial capital of Yunfeng City on my behalf. I don't know if anyone in your mercenary group can take on this important task, here are 3,000 gold coins, you can take it first. ”

Yun Gong took out a heavy bag of gold coins, Ye Xingchen hesitated a little, but still took it.

Liu Chang finally spoke on the side and said, "I'm fast, I'm responsible for sending the letter back to the capital." ”

Yun Gong looked at Liu Chang in front of him, nodded approvingly, handed over a token engraved with the word "cloud" to Liu Chang, and said: "This is a token of my Yun family, take this to Yunfeng City to find our Yun family's people there, and then let them report to the emperor." ”

"No problem." Liu Chang took the slightly heavy metal token, and then disappeared into the City Lord's Mansion office with a puff of smoke.

"The fact that your Luming Mercenary Regiment was able to survive the attack of the ferocious Blood Shadow Clan is enough to show your reliable strength. I want to hire you for a while on behalf of the Yun family, but you don't know what to do? Yun Gong smiled and looked at the people in front of him.

Ye Xingchen thought about it again and again, but still agreed to Yun Gong's request.

Right now, cooperating with the Yun family, the second largest family in the empire, has only endless benefits.

The Luming mercenary group went to the Yun family's residence in Lingxue City to temporarily guard for a while, and then waited for the order from Yun Gong to make the next move.

A day later, after everyone rectified a little, the news of the attack by the Blood Shadow Clan in the city of Lingxue City reached the ears of the Luming Mercenary Group. It seems that the Blood Shadow Clan has infiltrated the city of Lingxue City.

Soon, fierce street battles broke out in Ling Xue City.

The private army of the Cloud Gong stationed in Lingxue City engaged in a firefight with the Blood Shadow Clan.

I don't know if it was a spy from the Blood Shadow Clan who broke into the Reef Islands, but the city gate was always open, and then the Blood Shadow Clan rushed in along the city gate.

After a burning, killing and looting, the prosperity of Ling Xue City was gone, and the screams were intertwined with the sky-high fire and scarlet blood to weave a hellish scene on earth.

The Luming Mercenary Regiment joins them.

At this time, a beautiful girl in an ice blue costume slowly walked in the direction of the Luming Mercenary Group, and beside her was an old man over sixty years old, wearing a black robe and holding a long sword, with white hair and hair.

"I join you." The girl spoke.

"May I ask which young lady of the Yun family are you?" Ling Xuan asked puzzled.

"I'm Yun Ningzhi, and I also want to defend Ling Xue City." The girl said firmly, without hesitation, and had the color of a heroine.

"It turned out to be the second miss, we will protect you." Ye Xingchen said.

After all, the other party is a member of the Yun family, and the children of his employer can't go against the idea of others, if they want to come, let them come, and when the time comes, they will protect others.

Although Yun Ningzhi looked delicate, at the age of fifteen, her cultivation had already reached the level of the peak of the third order, and she could be described as a genius like no one in a million.

And the black-robed old man behind Yun Ningzhi has even more unfathomable strength. With the addition of two people, it was too late for Ye Xingchen to be happy.

After Xu Dan broke off, Ye Xingchen stood at the front, Ling Xuan, the black-robed old man, and Xiao Youqing were in charge of the flanks, and Jiang Shou and Yun Ningzhi were firmly protected in the middle of the team.

"Wait, and me!"

A girl's voice came from behind him, Ling Xuan turned his head and saw that it was actually a flower, and in desperation, everyone had to temporarily include it in the team.

Hua Wanwan itself also has the strength of the third order, which is decent, and it is considered to be middle and upper-class, the key is that Hua Wanwan itself also has the healing ability of light attributes, saving lives and helping the wounded, what if it really works wonders on the battlefield?

Join the chaos.

Walking through a street of corpses and ordinary people of the city defenses, everyone saw a group of Blood Shadow Clan warriors with axes forming a triangular battle array, frantically burning and looting.

In anger, Ye Xingchen took the lead, piercing the body of a Blood Shadow Clan warrior with a halberd, and then quickly pulled out the halberd, kicked his dead corpse away, and continued to attack the next target.

Xiao Youqing's arrows were extremely accurate, and one arrow was a Blood Shadow Clan.

Jiang Shou's flame magic ruthlessly devoured everything around him.

Ling Xuan shuttled through the crowd like the wind, and everywhere he went, he came to the next fierce Blood Shadow Clan warrior.

Xu Dan defended the rear steadily, killing six or seven Blood Shadow Clansmen who wanted to come and attack.

Seeing that there was no room for his own and others to make a move, Yun Ningzhi secretly admired the strength of the Luming Mercenary Group in his heart, especially this Ling Xuan, who was about the same age as himself, showed fierceness and spiciness, which was by no means comparable to his own budding newcomer who had never fought with life and death.

After clearing this area of the Blood Shadow Clan, the Luming Mercenary Group moved towards the next area.

Along the way, the black-robed old man silently watched all the actions of the Luming Mercenary Group, and secretly praised in his heart, these young people in front of him had the demeanor of his own time. This black-robed old man has been very calm, he has not made a move, and he has just watched quietly, and it seems that he is really a harmless and kind old man.

Everyone didn't say anything to the black-robed old man, after all, the age of the people was there, and the young man naturally had no way to point fingers at him.

Patches of land were cleared by the Deer Singing Mercenary Regiment, and then with the arrival of military support from other cities, the invasion of the Reef Islands was repelled.

Counting the losses in this battle, more than 5,000 houses were lost, more than 12,000 people died, 2,000 troops were killed, and 5,000 were wounded.

The bustling Lingxue City had become devastated.

At this time, the rest of the cities in the north reported that they had suffered heavy losses from the invasion of the Reef Islands.

The northern border of the Cloud Wind Empire suddenly fell into turmoil.
