From the fiery red clouds drifting by at night to the arrival of the faint light of the morning today, Zhao Kai and other nearly 300 contestants have been staying on the training ground of the City Defense Division and have not participated in any action, and in this night that affects the heartstrings of the whole city, there has not been any abnormal turmoil in the lockdown city, everything is as calm as water.

Last night, when the fighting broke out outside, the people returned to their homes under the warning of the guards of the city defense department, and closed their doors, and within an hour, there was no crowd of people on the streets of the city, and all the idle people were expelled to their own residences, leaving only the orderly patrol of the soldiers, and a little panic in the distance of the war lingering in the hearts of everyone.

It wasn't until now, the sky was shining, all parts of the city were in order, and the possibility of turmoil in the city was directly reduced to the lowest visible to the naked eye, and the guards of the City Defense Division finally relaxed a little, and led nearly three hundred people to keep vigil together on the training ground until the current general finally ordered the contestants to go back to their rooms to make up for sleep, and now the green wolf Dabi is suspended, and they are no longer forced to continue to standby, after all, they are only a reserve camp after all, and there is no need for them to stay up all night to continue to prepare for various situations that may be released.

Zhao Kai returned to the room, but he didn't have the heart to make up for sleep, not because he didn't feel tired, but because he didn't have the mind to sleep, so he had no choice but to sit cross-legged, and in this way he began to visualize the image of the giant hidden in the depths of his memory in his mind.

He didn't directly take out the giant diagram in the storage space, anyway, he didn't want to cultivate the Eight Sutras now, he just wanted to have something to do, and the visualization didn't have to take out the visualization diagram, and he felt the idea in his mind, although he couldn't directly absorb the spiritual power possessed in the giant diagram, but he could also go further in the Tao and the mind.

After a long time, Zhao Kai was deeply immersed in the artistic conception of the giant picture, and his mind was extremely rare and comprehensive, but at this time, a sharp whistle sounded, just like the whistle that everyone used to get up, the whistle was the general who managed the internal affairs of the contestants in the past.

According to the usual practice, everyone put on their clothes, made their beds, and simply freshened up their minds to make their minds clearer, and then they also gathered in the open space outside the residence, waiting for the general to speak, and seeing that the other party's eyes were sharp and their faces were serious, everyone thought that they had to be entrusted with some task, and they were also worried about whether something had happened in the city.

But I heard the general speak: "Don't stay, give me dinner." ”

Everyone looked confused, but immediately they were all relieved, orderly, and went to the back kitchen to cook, they really didn't eat a drop of water until last night, and their stomachs were already empty.

When I woke up, it was almost noon, although Zhao Kai did not sleep, but similar to the means of contemplating and immersing oneself in another thought is also equivalent to rest in a sense, at least now Zhao Kai does not feel sleepy, looking at the sky, can no longer see the fiery red clouds of last night, but everyone's hearts are getting heavier and heavier, and they are more worried, they can detect the people they see on the road, none of them have a normal complexion, everyone is gloomy, as if they have dripped blood.

When everyone was eating, there was no longer the scene of lively conversation in the previous few days of competition, and now the whole scene was silent and deep, like an old man, who was not shocked when he saw anything.

Zhao Kai secretly poked and touched Peng Jiu's arm beside him, and when he turned his head, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Peng, what do you think of the current situation?"

Peng Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not easy for me to judge, after all, we are not defenders, and we can't get any information, but from what we have seen and heard since last night, I estimate that the situation is not good, and even think the worst, I even guess that the three small cities that are guarding the city are about to fail." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Kai was surprised, his voice was a little louder, which instantly attracted the attention of many people around him, he shrunk his neck, lowered his head again, and whispered: "Is it so serious?"

"Do you know what that fiery red cloud from last night was?"

Zhao Kai didn't speak, nor did he make any other movements, but his eyes were always staring at Peng Jiu, full of desire for answers to his questions.

"That is the Chilin Battalion in the Great Feng Border Army, the top five terrifying existences in the entire Chu Feng border system of the Feng Army, this kind of powerful demon beast, coupled with a well-trained and powerful manipulator, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the division of the king who dominates the air. ”

"In other words, Da Bong is really moving?"

Peng Jiu nodded and said, "We guessed well that day, Da Feng really made a big move, and it was to the extent that he directly provoked a war between the two countries." ”

Zhao Kai was speechless, silently cooking, but on the surface he was calm, but he recalled many memories of his childhood in his heart, such as the situation of the garrison army on the Chufeng border, the names of the main generals and the meritorious generals, after all, these are all things that he would have heard more or less in the palace before, and finally, he remembered Zhongqiu, the commander of Dafeng on the Chufeng border, and the Northern Desert Army under it, which was known as the backbone of Dafeng's armed forces.

It is a family army that has lasted for a long time, but has been in control of the Zhong clan, they dominate Shudi, the sword points to the Great Chu Dragon Kiln, and the Wan Wanli of the arch guards the Great Feng, which can be described as outstanding meritorious and unparalleled, no wonder it has been undefeated in the confrontation with the Bai family army of the Great Chu, and now seeing the arrival of the Great Chu Green Wolf Army, I am afraid that I also want to take advantage of some loopholes, taking advantage of the gap between the change of defense to have a surprise attack, and I want to try the depth of this green wolf army that suddenly turned from the rear to the front.

Thinking of this, thinking of the dispute between the two countries that was about to break out and the flames of war would spread to his side, Zhao Kai couldn't help but sigh, and felt a little ridiculous about the choice he had said to pray for peace, and he once again felt the insignificance and helplessness of his own individual.

After seven years of forbearance, Zhao Kai, who had never told anyone his true identity since leaving the palace, only felt that the time at his disposal was more urgent, he wanted to improve his strength faster, master his strength faster, and then get rid of the shackles, starting from Linglong Pavilion, step by step, until he finally established his own power, so that he could barely occupy a place in this world of great contention, and then he could consider the matter of Wan Yaozong, the mastermind behind the scenes.

There are many difficulties and obstacles that must be crossed first by being tied into knots, such as the black iron blood in his body, which may make him fall into a madness or even become a monster at any time, and for example, all kinds of thoughts in his heart that he wants to complete first, such as returning to Dafeng and recognizing his father, queen and mother, and Zhao Kai, who he has missed for a long time, such as Yang Xiao, Big Hammer, Wang Qi and other people who have been traveling with him for a long time.

Zhao Kai patted his head quite nervously, directly blocking the trivial thoughts in his brain through physical methods, he packed up the dishes with Peng Jiu, left the seat, and reassembled to the training ground they were most familiar with according to the instructions of the general, waiting for everyone to return to the team and the general who seemed to really have something to say.

When everyone finished lunch and came to the training ground, the originally clear sky began to gradually become gloomy and low, and there were black clouds floating above everyone's heads, but it seemed to press on everyone's hearts, and people were breathless.

Before the general gave the order, everyone only felt that the earth trembled, as if there was a huge earth dragon turned over, in addition to the followers from far and near, but the people in the city still heard the sound of the collision of the armor that was too unreal, the sound was neat but full of slaughter, everyone knew what was happening, it was the Feng army outside the city, so that everyone in the city could hear the monstrous sound outside, I am afraid that the Feng army has been very close to the city wall, and the number of people is afraid that it has exceeded 10,000.

Sure enough, almost the next moment when everyone guessed what was going on, there was a rumbling war drum beating, and the monstrous sound spread throughout the entire closed city.

I heard the general say very quickly and sternly: "You must serve as the reserve battalion of the city defense department, help maintain order in the city, and if necessary, you must also fight directly at the head of the city as a defender of the city." ”

None of the more than 300 people in the field flinched or feared, and at this moment, the blood of these elite troops rose in an explosive straight line, and more than 300 "yes" were neat and loud, which made the generals with extremely heavy hearts also feel a little uplifted, and they couldn't help but look at this temporary patchwork reserve battalion again.

Nearly 300 people were randomly divided into five teams, and after being split, each team was led by a general of the city defense department to participate in patrols and surveillance tasks in the designated guard area, and was ready to deal with possible turmoil, including being ready to fight in the city at any time.

There is no one in the crowd now who is not nervous or serious, including Zhao Kai, who has long been accustomed to killing, because since he came to the border, the dilemma that has plagued him for a long time is finally going to happen, but he still has not made up his mind, whether to enter the Blue Wolf Army, but to fight against his own Dafeng army, the more this is the case, the calming kung fu that he has practiced under the Shadow Killing Hall in the past will naturally start to operate, after all, Zhao Kai is still more and more calm, he knows what is the most important thing now.

He had to live first, and he couldn't do anything unusual and show any of his feet, although this would also indirectly reject another option, thus causing some important sacrifices, but he had to do it, and this was his choice.
