The lightning in the sky was as bright as silver serpents, and the trees and flowers of the earth were shining in the rain. The birds sheltering from the rain in the Moyin area hid under the eaves, and the dripping rain wet their wings, and some did not want to fly.

The birds in the trees opened their eyes to see figures hastily assembled in the rain.

The legions of Sunset City are in principle divided into two parts, the Levy Army and the Protector Army.

Most of the former are conscripted border residents, the other part is criminals used to fill the army, and a small part is composed of citizens who have taken the initiative to enlist in the army and seek meritorious service. Levies were mostly not permanent, and were usually disbanded for production after the war ended.

The latter is a standing army, trained day and night, and lives in the Moyin district all year round. The Moyin District is special, it is a long and narrow belt, which is the edge of the inner city, but from the Moyin District, it is not the outer city, but the continuous mountains, and the ink flowing from the mountains. Ink, also known as the Ink River, flows out of the mountains and flows into Huaishui. Ink yin, as the name suggests, is on the side of the ink away from the sun.

The outer city of Sunset City does not completely encompass the inner city, and Sunset City is a long, irregular city built along a large river, so the inner city may be farther out than the outer city.

The Sunset City Guards and the Guards are completely two separate plans, the latter not allowed to carry strange objects without inspection and permission, and the former without restraint.

They are directly under the command of the crown and are not subject to the jurisdiction of the council.

Their actions were like a game of chess, with a unified command to their familiar positions, and finally they were all lined up, solemnly, and no one moved.

Only the leaders were in the rain, coldly conveying the decree.

Then, with a neat thud, the soldiers began to split into legions from their heads, heading towards the exits of Sunset City.

The first understanding of the Legionnaires' commanders of the Protectorate was to blockade the entire city with maximum force to prevent the escape of any suspected targets.

As the army dispersed, a cold wind swept up from the ground to the sky, turning over the pale leaves of the flowers and trees, so that the rain could strike them on the other side.

When the rain is finished, it trickles down the leaves, rolls up the dust on the ground and seeps into the ground, follows the trail of sediment and rock, re-filters away the filthy particles they were forced to carry on the ground, and finally drip along the stalactites that have congealed in the underground caverns into the clean reservoir.

This was true a hundred centuries ago, centuries ago, and still so centuries later.

The ground is dark and the water is deep.

His Royal Highness didn't hear the sound of the two of them splashing in the water again, and it was about Gu Chuan and the toeless people who swam away.

She put a little bit of refreshment, her eyes fixed on Yucun.

Yu Cun is a person who has personally experienced two twilight wars, and he is also a person who has been reused by the crown. He should have known something, but now, it was as if he didn't know anything.

His expression was not good-looking, and his eyes were dark:

"Your Majesty won't be happy that you think so much. And thinking about it so much is not necessarily a good thing. ”

"Are you threatening me with your crown?" His Royal Highness was very calm at this time, "Is Your Majesty my mother ......?"

"Are you sure? Girl......"

At that time, Yu Cun showed a mouthful of rotten teeth that had been drinking all year round, and let out a terrible laugh. He glared at His Highness like a terrifying ghost in the darkness, and he couldn't tell whether it was horror or disgust. He continued:

"Your doctor, your last doctor, in the inner city, in all the patriarchs and patriarchs of the citizen families, that is, those who have power, status, or history, and who have lived a long time, know her name."

"Her name ......"

His Highness froze in place and returned to his senses.

"I don't know her name...... The doctor never told me......"

So His Highness once regarded the position as a person's name. The doctor and His Royal Highness are the names.

"Oh, Your Majesty must have said something to you, Your Majesty said that only things that can be copied need special names. Something eternal that cannot be copied does not need a special name. He's the only crown of Sunset City, and you're the only Highness of Sunset City, aren't you? Your Highness. ”

His Highness did not speak.

It was terrifyingly black in the fluorescent, like a terrifying mountain range. He said coldly:

"Your doctor was once unique, hence her name Your Highness."

As the words fell, the ground cracked. It was the girl who stomped on the ground with all her strength, and then she staggered and fell unacceptably backwards a few steps, almost falling into the water.

"And she was once considered the heir of Sunset City, until her body appeared to be different, just like you...... Your Highness. Yu Cun raised his head, his face grim.

He didn't want to confess this past, because it was meaningless and might even interfere with His Majesty's intentions. But now, I am afraid that this highness has indeed become some kind of obstacle, just as it was at the beginning.

The girl's face immediately turned pale. A puzzle that she had never experienced before plunged her soul into a storm.

She doesn't care much about most of the things in the world, but now that she is losing just the one she cares about very much.

She barely swallowed the whimper in her throat, but she couldn't stop the more ridiculous associations that popped into her mind.

But Yucun is not finished yet.

"And Your Highness, you were born wise, so naturally you guessed well...... You are the 'transcendent', the beloved transcendent of His Majesty like the previous one – who threw himself into the battlefield of the Sixth Twilight War. ”

He said as he moved forward. When he was almost finished, he hurried forward, crossed a meter in one step, took out another strange object from his arms, and smashed it right on His Highness's head.

This strange thing is also one of the strange things that Yucun is allowed to carry with his wife, called Ru Prison, shaped like a chicken. Its discovery is also related to the new water family. It was the Xinshui family that discovered an abnormal whirlpool area and a high-gravity water area when they explored underwater hundreds of solar terms ago, and paid the price of several crew members to fish out this strange thing from the water.

And the function of this strange thing is even more strange - if it collides with an object higher than the "density of water", like this-

The chicken-shaped thing, the moment it hit the girl's forehead, it sucked water from the reservoir and air from the hollow. A strong wind blew and set off a wave in the reservoir that hit the shore wall. The resulting condensed water forms an ideal sphere suspended above the earth's surface.

The highly compressed water and air directly fill the sphere, making people feel like they are stuck in a mire, like entering the deep sea, and even difficult to breathe, unable to extricate themselves. His Highness instinctively closed his eyes and mouth, stopped inhaling, and wanted to take a step forward to get out of this sphere of space formed like a prison, but he saw that the ball also rolled forward.

The chicken-like object overhead is gone.

"You-"

"Offended, Your Highness."

Yucun stood at the water's edge and took a breath.

It's too late, and it's fast, and it only happens in a matter of seconds.

This instantaneous change has made the public opinion that has experienced countless battles also nervous. Because he didn't know what strange things this highness was combined with, and what functions it could have.

If it hadn't been dealt with very well—Yu Cun had seen the previous Highness in the Sixth Twilight War—he might have died on the spot in an instant.

And His Highness was shaken by unusual news, and it was the best time.

"Next, only the other two fugitives in the water remained......"

Yu Cun glanced at the water balloon where His Highness was, and one thing fell to the ground, while another thing made him even more painful. He turned his head, and was about to observe the movement of the two through the fluorescence, when he suddenly felt his feet sink.

He hurriedly looked down.

A smiling face appeared in the water, it was Gu Chuan.

It turned out that Gu Chuan and the toeless man had already returned when they were talking to His Highness. Gu Chuan didn't know that just his own combat power, together with the toeless people, was not enough for His Highness and Yucun to throw out the two strange people. So the two hid in the water and waited for an opportunity to act.

As a result, His Highness retreated to the water's edge, and when they heard footsteps, they knew that Yucun was near. So one of them took advantage of the trance of Yucun to hug the strong man's leg leaning on the water's edge.

"Hey!"

After Gu Chuan finished greeting, he put away his smile, changed his tone, and said coldly:

"Old general—we've offended too!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled Yucun into the water with the toeless man.

As a result, the man on the shore also stumbled and fell into the water, and suddenly plunged into a dark and bleak sea, unable to extricate himself.

Before entering the water, he took advantage of the few seconds left to take a deep breath.

This breath gave Yucun a glimmer of life.

The moment they entered the water, the waves crashed onto the shore and rushed straight to the corridor outside the reservoir. His Highness, trapped in the water like a prison, opened his eyes and looked at the water's edge.

And the struggle is intensifying.

Gu Chuan and the toeless man were entangled in Yu Cun's body, and they were about to press him into the depths of the water.

But the struggle of Yu in the water was beyond their imagination, and with just a few vigorous movements, waves of water were set off, slapping on their bodies, almost throwing them away. Fortunately, the water nature of the water is really not strong, and the flexibility and strength in the water are greatly reduced.

Not to mention, there was almost nothing to see in the dark water, only one or two vague figures could be seen. The water rushes to the soles of the feet and seeps into the clothes, so the sticky cold air directly adheres to the bone marrow. As soon as he accidentally opened his mouth, the water that had accumulated for a long time rushed into his mouth, telling him to quickly shut up, and almost suffocated under the water.

It's just that in this way, he fell into a kind of vague thought.

He wondered how the plight of those who had petitioned to go into the water in the first place compared to what they do now. This kind of thinking is fatal on the battlefield, but he has been out of war for a long time, and he can only laugh at himself for learning the sad skills of those rotten people in the treasury during his years in the treasury department.

And the further you go into the water, the greater the pressure of the water, and the action of public opinion will also be blocked. He couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to use the wind to suck the wind and release the impact, so he had to raise his head to the surface of the water with all his strength, wanting to take another breath, but Gu Chuan kicked straight under his crotch. He defended himself, and in annoyance he turned his hand to catch the clumsy little imp on the shore.

But the young man, who was much more sensitive than him in the water, glanced at Yu Cun with contempt, and made a childish gesture of raising his middle finger, and then kicked his leg away in an instant.

At the same time that Yucun missed, the toeless man grabbed his leg and dragged Yucun into the depths of the reservoir. Knowing that he couldn't struggle upwards at this point, he turned around in the water and threw a punch at the toeless man.

Vast expanses of water flowed past his eyes, past his nostrils, and over his ears.

The toeless man hurriedly swam by.

And Gu Chuan took over again, and smashed his fist on this Yucun's back, trying to press him lower in the water. Yu Cun stretched out his legs and kicked the water again, and then came back.

The toeless man continued to grab Yu Cun's leg and take him off the water, while Gu Chuan hurriedly dodged and swam away.

After going back and forth a few times, struggling up and down, the chief of the Treasury Division was still physically active, but the oxygen was about to run out.

For a brief moment, in the water, the young man's beautiful black eyes met the cloudy eyes of the aging man.

None of them could speak, but they all seemed to read the emotions in their eyes.

- You've lost!

Fluorescent dots sprinkled on the surface of the water, and Gu Chuan, who was close to the edge of running out of physical strength and oxygen, felt like he was immersed in the sparsest stars in the darkest night in a hazy hallucination. He was in the water, his soft hair floating loosely, looking insolent.

Yu Cun felt that he was more like, and his face was extremely gray.

- But kid, I haven't lost yet.

The moment he kicked away the toeless man who had come to harass him, he pulled out the pipe from his sleeve that was called the Wind of the Upper Heavens.

The so-called Strange Thing: Heavenly Wind does not limit the substance that passes through the main body of the tube, as long as the substance does not damage the strange object itself.

Gu Chuan only vaguely saw the shadow of a pipe. But his quick thinking, and also thought of the heavenly wind, and immediately realized that he had ignored the possible performance of this strange thing that released air waves in the water, and immediately tried desperately to swim away.

And Yucun has already made up his mind.

In the blink of an eye, water was sucked into the pipe from the other end of the pipe, causing a small whirlpool and an undercurrent to form at the bottom of the water. Then, the compressed water in the pipe solidified for less than a few seconds, and then it shot out like a high-pressure water cannon with a thunderous momentum, hitting the top of the reservoir and cutting through the stalactites at the top.

As soon as the bottom of the stalactite pulled out the water droplet, the broken stone smashed on the water droplet, and it fell into the water of the reservoir with a thud.

The ripples were like a circle of ripples, and before they subsided, the second water gun came out again.

The roof rock of the reservoir leaves a continuous mark of deep cutting only at the moment of rebirth.

Then, a head popped out of the water.

His Highness saw that it was Yu Cun's head, and knew that the underwater grappling had come to an end.

Yu Cun carried the two lost fugitives and walked to the shore step by step.

Gu Chuan spat out a mouthful of water violently, and the water cannon just now grazed past him. He managed to dodge with all his might, moving through the turbulence, losing his balance, and he was caught by Yucun.

"You don't seem to want to kill me, do you want to take me back to prison and be controlled by the crown?"

The young man sat on the ground, pointed at him with a pipe, tilted his head, and was extremely cold.

"If you go back to prison, you'll die."

Yucun said.

Gu Chuan said coldly:

"I didn't want to kill you, but you want to kill me, because the slightly unknown future has made a group of high-ranking people frightened and busy trying to make everything as it is?"

Clear water flowed from his forehead, shoulders, and clothes to the ground.

Yu Cun looked at him and said calmly:

"I didn't think about killing you either, you can go, but you can't go with the toeless and His Highness."

At the news of his birth, Gu Chuan did not have any joy.

He glanced at the toedless man, then at His Highness, and then raised his head and asked:

"Why?"
