Chapter 316: The Power of Ashes

Su Fan, who was back in charge of the Fourth Legion, raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, it was exactly what he expected.

The first part of the main quest is the event brought about by the initial identity.

However, this identity may be more troublesome than he imagined.

This can be seen by looking at other people's faces.

Not to mention anything else, the commander of the Fourth Legion, the authority to guard the eastern part of the empire, openly and secretly, there must be a lot of 'enemies', these people are within the empire, not to mention, there is a rebellion of the Ash Faith in the eastern region at the moment.

There is no doubt that if you follow the steps of the main line.

The problem in front of Su Fan is to take over the Fourth Legion, and in the process, there must be people who come out to obstruct him.

But it's not a big problem.

He took a shortcut, had a better initial identity than the others, and naturally had to bear the price of the shortcut.

"Let's go?"

Su Fan looked at the aristocratic middle-aged man in front of him, the latter's face twitched, he understood the subtext of the other party, silently picked up the key ring in his hand, carefully opened the door of the cell, and untied the shackles on Su Fan's hand.

[Hint: Your protection is gone, so be careful to hide your identity.] 】

[Hint: If the identity of the 'Adventurer' is revealed, it will be considered a failure of the main story!] 】

There was a hint in Su Fan's ears that the protection on his body had disappeared and the main line had officially begun.

It is worth mentioning here that when the adventurers of the Nine Great Divine Domains enter the derivative world, they will get the protection mechanism of the [Eye of Judgment] for the first time, that is, the process of integrating into their identities.

During this time, the Eye of Judgment will tamper with a small portion of the memories of the aborigines, leaving them with no doubt about Su Fan's identity, for example, the nobles and middle-aged people call Su Fan 'viewers'.

It is the title of the viewer that completely replaces the original owner in his impression.

The other adventurers are the same, they all replace the name of the original owner with the name of the game, of course, if Su Fan is willing, he takes out the 'Dream Mask' and disguises it as blank, or he can make the other party call him blank. That's a lot of fun.

To get back to the point, after the shackles on Su Fan's body were lifted, the demeanor of all the guards became more and more vigilant.

Su Fan ignored them, walked in diameter, and everyone parted in a 'whoosh', watching him walk through the corridor, go up the steps, and after passing through several layers of prison corridors, Su Fan came to the end of the prison.

The black-armored guards on both sides opened the door with serious faces.

In the morning light, Su Fan came to the outside of the prison, and when he looked up, he saw Victorian-style buildings, layer upon layer, covering the entire street.

The towering chimney puffing smoke stood at the end of the field of vision, and on the street, the aristocratic carriages drove leisurely, and from time to time there were aristocratic ladies who lifted the windows to check the scene outside, but when their eyes came into contact with Su Fan.

In an instant, someone recognized Su Fan's identity, and he was so frightened that he immediately lowered the curtain again.

Da da da.

A black flame-footed horse, carrying a badly wounded guard, galloped through the street, and the small waterhole was trampled up by the horse's hooves, but no one dared to blame the fast horse.

They could only watch as the black flame-footed horse dragged the seriously wounded guards and galloped away, startling countless pedestrians.

"Urgent report, the rebellion in the eastern region has intensified!"

"The province of Wirther is lost!"

"The rebels are gathering forces and preparing to drive straight into the imperial capital!"

The seriously injured guard lay on his horse and shouted, and the information he said made everyone's faces change drastically, it was not that the seriously injured guard didn't want to keep it secret, but that he was in too bad a state, for fear that he wouldn't live to meet the monarch of the empire in person, and he couldn't bring the news into the coffin.

Therefore, he could only shout along the street to inform all the citizens on the street of the bombshell news.

Peng!

The mortally wounded guard could no longer hold on, and fell from his horse, his body fell to the ground, and a cluster of flames rose from his chest, like a spark of fire, and burned his entire body at once, turning into ashes and dissipating with the wind.

"Ashes. Ember Power, they're coming! ”

Seeing this scene, the citizens on the street let out an exclamation, even if they were citizens of the capital of the [New Rand] Empire, and they themselves had excellent knowledge, they could not avoid their inner panic.

Because traitors who believe in 'Ashes' possess the power of Ashes, which is the effect when killing enemies.

Historically, every time the 'Ashes' rebellion broke out, and the Imperial Guards stationed there were killed, their bodies were almost impossible to find, because everyone was contaminated with the power of the ashes, and when they died, their bodies would turn to ashes.

It was like the most terrifying curse in the world, and this moment, when this curse unfolded on the body of the seriously injured guard, reminded everyone of the fear that had once been ruled by the curse.

"So badly in the east?"

Su Fan raised his eyebrows, in his impression, the entire ash world is actually divided into several stages, the first stage is the eastern rebellion he is currently in, and next, the [New Land] Empire will face the two major events of 'Black Blade Night' and 'Furnace Shattering', that is, the next two stages.

At the moment, Su Fan is in the first stage of history, but the situation is worse than he expected, the eastern part of the [New Land] empire is almost lost, and the rebels are gathering forces and preparing to drive straight into the imperial capital, indicating that it is approaching the end of the first stage.

In this case, going to the eastern region as the leader of the Fourth Army is tantamount to a meat bun beating a dog.

However, Su Fan has his plans.

I saw him step forward to the dissipation of the corpse of the seriously wounded guard, half-crouched down, and in the frightened gaze of the others, he twisted a little ash with his fingers, triggering the prompt of the system panel.

[Hint: You are in contact with the power of ashes (0.56% remaining), which is gradually eroding your body!] 】

[Hint: Your HP has dropped by 4%, and the power of ashes has been depleted!] 】

This little bit of ash power consumed 4% of Su Fan's blood, which is enough to see that if it is the power of ashes in a complete state, I am afraid that he may not be able to resist it, and there must be some special means.

On top of that, he now plays the role of the Lord of the Fourth Legion, and once he travels to the eastern regions, he will definitely have to deal with the believers of the power of the ashes. To be precise, it is a fighting battle, so the means of dealing with them must be prepared for a rainy day.

Thinking of this, Su Fan greeted the other residents on the street, and under his surprised gaze, he stepped forward and stepped over the black flame-footed horse that had stopped, and the next moment, he grabbed the horsewhip with his hand and slammed it on the buttocks of the black-flame-footed horse.

Wow!

The black flame-footed horse was like a wild dog that had lost its reins, carrying Su Fan's figure, all the way towards the center of the capital.
