In the battle of the Nugget Pier, the red-haired Ron, the seventh-order legion leader of the Poison Bee Pioneer Legion, was killed in battle, and the morale of the Lionheart Legion was greatly boosted.

At the same time, the "capitulation faction" within the federation suffered heavy losses.

Although most of the guys who secretly received the enemy into the Nuggets dock committed suicide after the matter was revealed, they were eventually caught alive by the Lionhearts, who were deployed in advance.

Moreover, the Bai family also used secret techniques to obtain a lot of information from Ron's corpse.

As soon as the two confirmed, it was learned that the Capone family, one of the five major councillors, was a mole.

As soon as the news came out, major newspapers published it one after another.

The entire Federation was in an uproar.

No one expected that before the war began, Harold Capone, the top power of the Federation, had already surrendered.

He had even dedicated the map of the fortifications and most of the city-states of the Federation to the enemy.

The news instantly ignited everyone's anger.

The crowd was excited.

Coupled with the secret arching fire and leading the troops to crusade against the other four Grand Councilors, the Rao is Capone family was so powerful that it collapsed almost overnight.

The Capone family was thus removed.

The first vacancy in the seat of the Parliamentarian also means that the federal parliamentary system, which has been maintained for 200 years, has come to this end.

But the chaos continues.

There is even a tendency to spread to several other parliamentarians.

The great councillors have taken the lead in treason,

The civilian class lost all trust in the upper echelons of the Federation in an instant.

At this time, voices supporting the restoration of the Oran royal court came out of nowhere.

And quietly more.

The new king of Oran, under the slogan of "overthrowing the corrupt parliament", appeared in the public eye for the first time.

Ji Xun didn't have much interest in politics or anything.

So when I heard the news from Katarina, I was not much surprised.

But surprisingly, none of these people completely guessed correctly.

Jia Yu had calculated before that in the current situation, there was a high probability that the Oran Royal Court would be successfully restored.

Almost before the incident, the mushroom head had already calculated the "inevitable process" of mole, turmoil, and the collapse of the parliamentary system.

Ji Xun heard it before, and he only felt reasonable.

And thought it was going to happen.

However, the truth is that everything that is happening now is exactly like a script that the guy wrote in advance, and it is being played out little by little.

Ji Xun sighed with emotion.

After personally experiencing these major events that are enough to be recorded in history, he has a deeper understanding of the meaning of Jia Yu's words: If you look long enough, you will find that the change of dynasty is just a repetition of history.

is like a classic stage play, with batches of actors, and the core plot of the script is still only the "thirty-six kinds": revenge, revolution, ambition, and disaster.

However, there was a lot of commotion on the Eastern Continent, but the Lionheart family on the Nuggets Pier was not negatively affected at all.

On the contrary, because of the treason of the Capone family, everyone knew the truth about the war.

And those neutral forces that have lost trust in the federal regime have also joined the "main battle faction".

The Nuggets Pier is getting livelier and busier.

With the communicator, Ji Xun can know the situation of the Federation almost at any time.

Those messages are also a line of cause and effect.

If he clarifies it, he can better understand the "world".

However, the team he was lurking in didn't have such a good time.

This group of people completely lost the arrogance of slaughtering and looting the city before, and hid in Tibet, not daring to show their faces where anyone appeared.

This collection is more than a month.

this day.

In a dark and dilapidated ruins.

It's also less than 50 kilometers from the Nuggets Pier.

A group of more than thirty members of the vanguard team hid in a dilapidated complex.

The bonfire reflected the tired faces.

"It's time for the changing of the guard."

"Joel, you're going to help me stand guard."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Ji Xun stood up expressionlessly.

He played "Joel" as a stuffy jar who was ostracized.

So there will always be the most duty in a day.

But this is also just right for Ji Xun.

He had only just advanced to the fourth order, and he needed a lot of time to consume the new abilities he had mastered, and he also had to comprehend those magical mystical methods.

Standing guard can give you a lot of time to practice.

Also thanks to [Shadow Trick].

During this period of time, not only has the rank been stabilized, but the cultivation progress of various secret methods has skyrocketed every day.

The most important thing is that there is a buffer for this month, which also makes his "playing" flaws less and less.

This is the experience that Ji Xun asked Jia Yu for advice before.

After all, the mushroom head has the experience of successfully lurking in the X game.

He said that the role of Gao Ming is not disguised, but the real meaning of "identity replacement".

If you really become that person, you will not be able to detect some occult perceptual means.

For more than a month, Ji Xun has done just that.

He is fully integrated into his current identity.

He's "Joel" now, and Joel is who he is.

The Destiny Line has been completely replaced.

Ji Xun is very confident, even if the closest person to "Joel" is in front of him, he can't tell that he has a problem.

At least the sixth-order deputy legion leader in the team, Kulo, who came a few days ago, was completely unaware that there was a spy in the team.

And as time goes on, the role will become more and more sophisticated.

Even in the face of card masters above the seventh order, the possibility of being seen through will be lower and lower.

With this layer of camouflage identity, Ji Xun no longer has to be sneaky to inquire about the news.

In the past month, he has obtained too much important information from those people's chats.

The Errel Empire is also gradually revealing the veil of mystery.

The card master of that empire has all the inheritance of the Talon Dynasty 3,000 years ago, and all kinds of spells, martial arts, and cards that have been lost in the Federation.

Even many of the fifty-two card master sequences that have been lost in the Federation have been handed down in that empire.

This also cheapens Ji Xun.

His current perception is ridiculously high.

As long as it is below the fourth order, what ability those people almost show, he can understand it after a little figurative thinking.

During this time, he also learned a lot of new knowledge.

And this new knowledge is the building blocks of his understanding of the "world".

Jia Yu said before that "I am the world" is not only a mysterious magic method, but also the way to eventually become a "realm".

As long as you have a deep enough understanding of the world, you can continue on this path.

However, Ji Xun and Jia Yu's situation is different.

He is not cultivating a single transcendent path, but a wide range of things.

And this kind of "Vientiane" needs a stable and solid foundation support.

"I am the world" couldn't be more appropriate.

After the proficiency of this secret method is improved, almost everything you have learned can be integrated into this secret method.

As his comprehension deepened, Ji Xun gradually discovered that he seemed to have found a unique path for himself.

At the height of the ruins, Ji Xun was standing guard.

While cultivating, another picture appeared in my mind.

Not far away, the shadow was watching the captain-level pioneers around the campfire holding a management meeting.

At this moment, the deputy commander of the corps, Kulo, was holding a conch-shaped artifact and "gurgling" something.

This is the communicator of the Errel Empire.

Pure magical equipment.

The "fire" that went to the Southern Continent three thousand years ago did inherit almost everything of the Kashi civilization.

However, it did not retain any mechanical technology.

Because the dragon is a symbol of "power", mechanical technology is a desecration of power, a heresy.

For thousands of years, the Holy See did not allow the development of machinery, and it fell completely.

So there is no mechanical equipment on this group of people.

And what the deputy legion leader Kulo said, his voice sounded like a beast's roar.

This is not Talen either, but a "simplified dragon".

The dragon is a high-ranking race like the High Demons, and the dragon language is also a magical language with magical powers, just like the ancient demon language.

After all, the Errel Empire is a kingdom ruled by the Dragonborn.

So the aristocracy over there had their own language of communication.

It is this "simplified dragon language".

In the army, too, only high-ranking officers are qualified to master.

It's not just a matter of identity.

There is also the understanding of the law.

Just as there is a threshold for reading the Demon Language, there is also a Dragon Language.

If the strength is not enough, you can't open your mouth.

And because of the super-elemental affinity of the dragon's bloodline, over the past few thousand years, card masters have also improved and created a series of unique and powerful dragon spells and card systems.

This is also what Ji Xun has been studying hard during this time.

After a few days of eavesdropping, although this simplified dragon language has not been fully understood, even guessing and bewildering, he has roughly figured out the content of the communication: At six o'clock today, the army is coming.

"Is it finally coming?"

Ji Xun squinted slightly, and muttered in his heart.

These days, their team looks like they are hiding in Tibet, but they are actually exploring the way for the army behind.

A few days ago, this sixth-order deputy legion leader came, and Ji Xun guessed this result.

After all, they are now located close to the Nuggets Pier.

And to some extent, they were able to appear here because Ji Xun deliberately guided them.

Previously, several vanguard regiments were exploring the way at the same time.

Which road is "the safest" and "most hidden" will be the best choice for subsequent reinforcements.

And Caterina knows the position of Ji Xun's team all the way.

Naturally, the arming has also been deliberately avoided.

So almost expected.

The armies will choose their path.

Judging from the information obtained now, it is the "Stinging Snake Legion" of the Red Dragon Kingdom.

It seems that they are preparing to quickly attack the Nuggets Dock, and then break through directly from the City of Innocence and capture the Card Division Federation in one fell swoop.

Probably want to blitzkrieg and a quick solution.

The degree of secrecy in this matter is not low, and the soldiers were originally completely unqualified to know such an important military situation.

It's a pity that there is Ji Xun as a spy in the team.

Hearing this, he passed on the information as well.

He didn't really care too much about what would be done over there, whether the intelligence was wrong.

Katerina's wisdom was enough for her to make the most sensible response.

I won't let myself be exposed as a spy.

After passing the news, Ji Xun continued to meditate.

It was six o'clock in the evening.

During the meditation, Ji Xun suddenly opened his eyes, he looked at the ruins in the distance, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "It's here!" ”

He vaguely sensed a large march in the distance.

But those men seemed to have used some kind of regimental equipment to cover the movement, and they were only discovered when they got very close.

I only saw a black mist gradually filling the ruins.

But I didn't hear any movement.

Ji Xun is not worried that there will be a top powerhouse like the Eighth Order who will directly attack the Nugget Pier.

Because that probability is very low.

During this time, he also discovered that the top-level card master of the Ariel Empire had an extraordinary arrogance.

After all, they are dragonborn, and the overlord aura they bring with them is not at all disdainful of any sneaky things.

Now facing a weak card division federation, the eighth order is a kingdom marshal-level master, and he can't pull that face.

There won't be an eighth order for someone to come, so he shouldn't be exposed.

A thought flashed in Ji Xun's mind, and the fierceness in his eyes instantly dissipated.

"Joel" can't be found.

But he didn't want to be dealt with by military law for dereliction of duty.

Or do what a sentinel should do.

Get up and patrol around occasionally.

Finally, the vanguard of the Serpent Legion arrived.

Ji Xun had already sensed some "qi" hidden in the darkness.

He still pretended not to see.

Waiting for someone to trigger the early warning trap on the periphery, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

This voice frightened the people in the camp to rush out.

I thought it was another vicious battle.

At this time, the deputy commander of the corps, Kulo, opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't panic! It's our people who have arrived! ”

Seeing the reinforcements coming, the people of the Poison Bee Pioneer Group also breathed a sigh of relief.

But there are some apprehensions.

Previously, they discovered the Card Division Federation in the Eastern Wilderness, which was supposed to be a feat.

But later, the corps commander Ron was killed for greed, and the nature of the matter changed.

And for the sole credit, all the "evidence" of the map or something was taken away by Ron.

Now it's half less convincing.

If you don't do it, you will be punished.

In the blink of an eye, out of the fog, professional soldiers wearing standard leather armor and equipment as much as possible came out.

Look again, the huge ruins are full of people.

As a rough estimate, there are probably a few thousand people.

The number of people doesn't seem to be too much, but the sense of oppression of this regular dragon army is very strong.

Ji Xun felt as if he had returned to the feeling of entering the animal cage of the circus for the first time when he was a child, and being stared at by a crowd of fierce beasts.

The sergeant standing in the mist was like a dragon, invisibly exuding a terrifying coercion.

At this time, several people and a group of people covered in golden armor walked over.

The deputy corps commander Kulo looked at the leader and shouted, "General! ”

Ji Xun and the other vanguard groups also shouted.

Only then did everyone see a group of golden-armored knights surrounded by a scar-faced strong man more than two meters tall.

The scar-faced man glanced at the ruins, and no one dared to look at them directly.

Although I haven't seen it, Ji Xun has heard of it before.

This guy Bacheng is a famous general of the Red Dragon Kingdom, the leader of the Stinger Legion, and the general Herman.

General Herman asked in a deep voice, "How's the situation?" ”

The deputy corps commander Ku Luohui hurriedly reported: "Report to the general, the nugget pier is fifty kilometers to the east, and the route has been explored." ”

General Herman asked again, "What about my stupid brother?" Where is the body? ”

Hearing this, Ku Luo swallowed his saliva: "In the hands of those people in the Eastern Wilderness. ”

As soon as these words came out, Herman's face turned cold, and an invisible coercion enveloped the murderous aura that instantly swept the audience.

Ji Xun shouted urgently in his heart: "Long Wei! ”

He had experienced this feeling in another dimension before.

He also instantly understood this guy's intentions.

Anger is just a façade, it really wants to see if there are any spies in the team!

"That's very cautious."

Ji Xun looked at it and muttered in his heart.

If it weren't for him, if he was replaced by another card master, even if he was of a higher rank, he would inevitably show a little strange appearance when he encountered this kind of top-level powerhouse Long Wei.

Almost instantly, he didn't dare to show any flaws, and he trembled with the people around him.

General Herman glanced at everyone, and didn't seem to find anything, so he didn't say a word, but said, "Draw ten to kill one." ”

Kuro's eyelids jumped, and he replied with an ugly face, "Yes, my lord." ”

Drawing ten kills is a harsh form of collective punishment in the military.

When some of the legions made a great mistake, ten people drew lots to kill one as punishment.

Officers are no exception!

Hearing this, the dozens of people in the Poisonous Bee Pioneer Regiment all had cold sweat on their foreheads.

Only Ji Xun smiled wryly in his heart when he heard this: "Hehe. I've hidden it. ”

Just now, he was a genuine seventh-order, but he didn't see through his disguise at all.

That's something to be happy about.

As for the law of killing, he didn't care at all.

When it comes to gambling on life, Ji Xun has never been afraid.

Luck has always been good.

One in ten probability, he didn't think it would be himself.

The truth was as he had guessed.

After the draw of lots, the bodies of the three unlucky ones were hung on the city walls.

Ji Xun is safe and sound.

Others are glad they survived.

It's very close to the Nuggets Pier.

It won't be long before a few tens of kilometers can run at full speed against the transcendents.

General Herman and the Serpent Legion did not hide any more traces, and rushed away.

The main task of the Vanguard Regiment is reconnaissance, and it is not responsible for fighting.

At least until the end of the war, Ji Xun and the others can rest in the camp for the time being.

It was relatively safe and became a camp for the follow-up troops of the Serpent Legion.

There are not only pioneers in a force, but also people coming one after another.

The tiredness on the soldiers' faces showed that the Serpent Legion had just gone through a long march.

Soon, hundreds of bonfires were lit in the camp.

The large army began to rest and cook.

Because Ji Xun and their vanguard group were located in the middle of the ruins, they happened to be surrounded by the army.

Alone in the enemy camp, exposure is almost certain to death.

But this feeling made Ji Xun feel more and more excited.

Being a sentry also allows him to better observe everything around him.

Staffing, number of troops, equipment, large siege equipment, and much more.

It seems that there is no way to cross the rift in the abyss.

Ji Xun has quietly seen everything about this stinging snake legion.

In his eyes, he also saw a more complex thread of fate.

There is not only the thread of the fate of the individual, but also the fate of the kingdom and the fate of the race.

Countless are intertwined, converging into a mess, and the more rationalized, the more chaotic it becomes.

This is the reason why "I am the world" wants to cultivate more and more deeply, and it will become more and more difficult in the future.

The more Ji Xun understood this secret method, the more he felt that the mushroom head was really powerful.

There are quite a few people from the Stinging Snake Legion, estimated at tens of thousands.

A few hours after the vanguard had gone, the follow-up teams arrived one after another.

They brought not only troops, but also a large group of human slaves wearing collars.

After all, these people didn't come to the Old World to fight.

It's for the sake of treasure hunting.

Ji Xun glanced at the thousands of humans in coarse linen clothes, and knew that they must be "cannon fodder" exploring the interdimensional space.

Just judging from the "Qi Machine", there was even a fifth- or sixth-order card master in that slave group.

The strength of the Red Dragon Kingdom can be seen.

Seeing these slaves, Ji Xun seemed to have seen what happened if the Federation was really going to be broken and become a war slave.

Ji Xun glanced at it.

Suddenly, by all means.

In the midst of the group of slaves, he saw a huge cage covered with a black cloth.

"Strange. What's in that cage exactly? ”

Ji Xun was curious.

It looks like some kind of monster in captivity.

And the cage is on the other side of the slave camp, and it seems to be some kind of special slave.

Before Ji Xun could figure it out, a group of knights in gold armor surrounded a fat-headed and big-eared guy and quietly came to the camp of the vanguard group.

As long as there are people, no matter where they are, it is a humane society.

When Ji Xun heard this, he knew that it was the deputy legion commander Ku Luo who came to intercede.

"I said Kuluo, your vanguard group has pushed all the feats of the sky out, obviously discovered the Eastern Wilderness, and your collective first-class merit is indispensable. Now it's okay, greedy for merit, Captain Ron is dead, and he is still startling the snake. If the news really wants to reach the marshal, it is not as simple as 'drawing ten kills one'. ”

"Lord Lamb, you know, none of us can convince Ron's decision. You'll have to help me this time. Oh, I almost forgot! And this is the treasure sent by those people in the Eastern Wilderness before, I didn't have time to give it to General Herman just now, so you can help hand it over."

"Tsk, there are really a lot of good things in the hands of those guys in the Eastern Wilderness. I can hand it over to you. But if you want to be completely safe in this matter, you still have to rely on yourself. Let's explore more meritorious service, and make up for it, I heard that the royal family of Augustus has also passed it on? There must be a lot of good things in the East Wilderness."

"Don't worry, when the time comes, whatever our pioneer group finds, we will give you a look first."

"It's all a small thing. Oh, and one more thing, did you Vanguard find any clues? There is no news from the Holy See to find a few 'spell jars', and I am very dissatisfied with the progress."

"I didn't find it. The Old World is so big that we're only exploring it now. By the way, Mistress Lamb, what the hell is that jar? There is no pattern, and there is no reference. There are a lot of broken jars in this ruin, and if you really want to encounter them, I'm afraid I won't know if I miss them."

"I don't know the specifics. However, listening to the above, looking for the 'jar' is a special order from the top of the Holy See, and the priority is higher than finding the 'Mausoleum of Augustus'. That's why I brought that 'monster' this time for you to look for, it's definitely not a broken jar, I think it might be some ancient relic with powerful magical powers."

“.”

Ji Xun, who was eavesdropping, originally thought it was a simple bribery conversation.

But when he listened, he felt strange in his heart.

Jar?

It can't be the two you carry, right?

On second thought, it has now been confirmed that the seal inside the jar is the old god, which is an extremely dangerous ancient relic.

If it is really worth thinking about the high-level of the Errel Empire, I am afraid that it can really only be something of this level.

But what are those guys looking for this jar for?
