Early the next morning.

The group left the imperial capital and headed for the west of Takizawa County, the fifteenth county in history, which has always served as the function of overlooking the western part of the empire, which is the largest transit point between the imperial capital and the border, and the local military troops have always had the reputation of the 11th Army.

There were seven people on this trip, Sheila, the minister's son, Champ the clown, Kosmia, the alchemist Doteya, the pirate Flameheart, the hunter Lan, and someone who was the right minister.

With a full seven imperial envoys, this is already the most complete special operations team that the empire can come up with at present, and if it is put on the battlefield, there is no problem in turning the overall situation of a large-scale war.

Jiang Yuan sat behind the Yan Ruined Tiger and looked at the alchemy classics, the mounts of this squad are all dangerous species, enough to support long-distance and extremely fast marches, whether An Ning Dao raises troops or not determines the degree of erosion in the middle of the empire, and Earnest does not hesitate to provide all kinds of support.

At this moment, the team has just set off, and the team has not yet left the outskirts of the imperial capital, and there are more caravans on the road, and Yanxin and Kosmia are ready to move.

Robbing a caravan is like opening a blind box, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to meet a good-looking man and woman, if there are children in the team, then even Champ will join in the hunt, and Doteya likes to suck blood, so he doesn't mind the robbery, and is even happy to see it happen.

"Lord Duke, anyway, we will be able to rush to Takizawa County soon, it is better to relax before the battle begins, the gold and silver treasures are all yours, and I only need one or two female dependents."

Yan Xin licked the corners of his mouth excitedly, staring at a large caravan not far away, according to his perennial experience of robbery, this caravan definitely has the families of merchants, and usually, the wives and daughters of big businessmen are all beauties.

Jiang Yuan closed the classics, the flame destroyed the tiger and stopped, and the rest of the people also grabbed the reins one after another when they saw this.

"You think the same way he does?"

No one answered, but the eyes of several people said it all, only Lan looked at Shang Pu silently, he used to be a teacher, his lover was a local Taishou, and then his own students were killed, in order to take revenge he chose to join the empire, after yesterday's conversation with the wild hounds, the murderer of the year has surfaced.

Jiang Yuan looked at Yan Xin, shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't care much about people's viciousness, after all, it's not strange to see a lot, but you shouldn't delay my journey, a knife, if you can survive, then don't take it as an example." ”

Yan Xin suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and as soon as his words fell, a cold momentum swept over, just like the monstrous waves between the southern islands, no matter how huge the ship was, it would also sink in the face of the power of nature.

The long knife was unsheathed, and the bearer of the knife seemed to be one with the weapon, and when he stepped closer, he was silent, like a gust of wind gently slashing, and in an instant the blade was close in front of him, and the light wind dissipated, and in its place was a violent rain, and the people in the rain could not avoid it.

Yan Xin hurriedly set up the Emperor Gu Moonlight Dance, but at the beginning of the heavy rain, the red sun rose after the clouds, and a flash of light reflected from the blade of the knife hit the eyes, and at this moment, the blade slashed instantly.

It was as if the darkness had melted into the sun, and Yan Xin's body had been cut in half from top to bottom, and his gaze remained glazed before he died.

Next to him, Sheila looked at the scene in front of him in shock, he traveled to the empire and even the surrounding countries, constantly growing and perfecting his martial arts, but in front of this sword, he still seemed weak and weak, this kind of swordsmanship was no longer confined to moves, but involved changes in artistic conception.

He couldn't even be sure if Yan Xin was seeing the same thing as he was seeing.

"If you have an opinion, then let's go together."

Jiang Yuan picked up the Emperor Gu Moonlight Li Dance, he just wanted to kill Yan Xin, and the specific reason was not important at all, and the swordsmanship just now was called the Sun Chapter Chop, which means the bleak sunrise, in alchemy, [the body has a semi-spiritual nature], and the combat skills are the same, in five years, using power, he has collected all kinds of martial arts classics in the empire for thousands of years, and the swordsmanship has already gone further.

As before, no one answered.

"Since you have no opinion, then go on the road, as long as you are obedient, I will not kill you."

"Understood." Sheila replied with difficulty, he didn't think that the other party was speaking wildly, whoever exchanged that knife was basically certain death, at this moment, Duke Midgard had already equated with Estes in his heart, there are only two kinds of strong people in the world, the strongest and the others, the former is hostile to the latter, and the result is only crushing.

Only quantity can make up for the gap, but a few emperors are definitely not enough.

Kosmia trembled and lowered her head, her appearance was obviously not important to the duke, because the other party held power and power tightly, and was not an object to be teased.

……

Five days later, Takizawa-gun.

The group arrived a few days earlier than expected, the most elite cavalry could sleep on horseback, and under someone's intimidation, no one refused such a slightly unreasonable order.

Ornest's spy Beric personally greeted him, he was already the assistant to the sect leader at this time, and he was second in the internal ranks, and he entertained a few foreign friends without any explanation.

"Welcome to the Grand Duke, your life depends on you." Beric said with a kind smile.

"What's the situation with the local soldiers?" Jiang Yuan asked, although the other party's attitude was very good, but in the plan, this sect leader's assistant had to die, and there were variables in his undead peaceful Dao's army, and it would be difficult to consume the last trace of vitality of the empire with the resistance alone.

"My lord, let's not hide it, most of the 40,000 local county soldiers are under the control of Anning Dao, and many of the officers are religious disciples, including the wealthy merchants here, and the amount of wealth donated to Anning Dao every year is shocking." Beric sighed.

The most important thing is that Takizawa County is not too far from the imperial capital, and the only pass that can be called a pass is Bishui Pass, and Bishui Pass is also an important town that hinders the northward advance of the south, once it is attacked from both sides, the logistical pressure will be very great.

There were also two people in the greeting procession, none other than the Rakshasa Four Ghosts, the Horsehead and Thorn, both of whom were generals and had been in charge of Berik's safety.

"My lord, please rest first, and I'll prepare a banquet tomorrow." Beric invited.

"Labor leads the way." Jiang Yuan bowed his head.

When the group entered the county town, Beric had his own mansion, which looked more like a palace from the outside, and it was extremely extravagant, which was also related to the atmosphere of the empire today, and the nobles in the imperial capital even surpassed it.

The streets are filled with people, many wearing ornaments around their necks, and children often carry wooden statues while playing, which can often fetch high prices after a few operations.

Beric led everyone into his mansion, and in this reinforcement, he knew the minister's son, but the other party looked scared, and he didn't want to come forward to greet him.
