Chapter 428: Look, this is Chanda
The soldiers of the Wangcheng Guards moved the corpses of the dead monsters together, and lit a fire with the corpse of the old dryad.
The flames rose into the sky, and a scorching smell mixed with blood made everyone feel sick.
Xiao Qiang, the commander of the Wangcheng Guards, stood straight in place, watching the corpses of the Tree Realm Mountain monsters that had been fighting with him for many years being burned, he didn't say a word, and under the flickering firelight, there was no expression on his face, which made his subordinates feel weak from the bottom of his heart.
All the people bowed their heads and pretended to be ostriches, and did not dare to speak. Their Grand Commander has always looked at this group of aliens in the Tree Boundary Mountain unpleasantly, and he has not been looking for trouble in the past few years. This time, it was just the same trouble-making operation as usual, but who knew it would develop to this point.
The king in the royal city, although he is called the "Lord of Caiyun", has lost the real power to control the court, and he can still be left alone for the time being. However, if Lord Dugu Yueguang, the secretary of the military department in charge of the military, knew that the Great Commander had destroyed the monsters of Shujie Mountain without authorization, he would definitely be furious! Originally, recruiting the monsters of Shujie Mountain was led by Dugu Yueguang, which was also his most outstanding political achievement, but now they have ruined this political achievement with their own hands. Although the main responsibility is to be carried by the commander Xiao Qiang, for them small soldiers, even if they are just blown by the turmoil in the court, it is a huge disaster...... Everyone shrunk their necks, and they were all a little afraid.
However, what their great commander Xiao Qiang was thinking about was not the punishment he was about to face after returning to the royal city, but the fuse of the whole conflict just now, the cultivator who suddenly appeared in the Tree Boundary Mountain.
Cultivators, although in the human realm, have been reduced to the point of showing the door to the chaebol. But in the Caiyun Realm, they still belong to the group of people who are high above. Since ancient times, human beings who are born with spiritual roots are very rare, and spiritual roots suitable for cultivation are even more rare. Unlike the martial arts academy that Xiao Qiang and the others attended, in the Caiyun Realm, every cultivator is one in a million, and at a very young age, he was selected by various schools to enter the mountain gate, and after building the foundation, he will be enshrined by the royal families of various countries, and each of them is a precious national power.
And now a cultivator of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Shujie Mountain, and the meaning behind it made people feel cold behind their backs.
Moreover, if Xiao Qiang heard correctly, what Linghuai and those despicable monsters shouted just now was ...... "king"!
In today's Caiyun Realm, in addition to the barbarian leaders who usurp to be kings, there are only the kings of the five parties who are recognized by the rules of heaven as being qualified to be kings!
The king of the east is arrogant and domineering, the king of the north is young and ignorant, the king of the west is forced to be confined, and the king of Caiyun sits in the central royal court. Now there is only the legendary heir of the king of the south!
Coupled with the black history of this group of Tree Realm Mountain Monsters, the identity of that cultivator is about to come out.
The reappearance of the descendants of King Nan in the Caiyun Realm will inevitably add another fuel to the situation that has already begun to become chaotic, which is absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Qiang!
"Grand Commander, can we go back?" Seeing Xiao Qiang standing like this, the soldiers of the Wangcheng Guards were a little scared and a little nervous, and they had the courage to come over and ask.
Xiao Qiang's answer surprised everyone: "We won't go back! The cultivator who ran away, we want to arrest him back!"
Everyone couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Qiang's gourd, and they all clamored. However, they didn't dare to do this in front of Xiao Qiang, they just exchanged heads and ears behind their backs.
Xiao Qiang, however, didn't care what his group of subordinates thought, and directly issued the order to pursue southward.
Everyone was very helpless, but they didn't dare to resist, their great commander has always had a strong personality, and no one could persuade him to come back when he decided something good. As subordinates, all they can do is obediently obey Xiao Qiang's orders.
Xiao Qiang looked at the south, his eyes were cold, without a trace of warmth.
"I'm going to catch you!
......
The south of Caiyun, the most prosperous place in the original five kingdoms of Caiyun, is now treacherous, with forces rampant, wild bandits, warlords, and mutual conquest, without a day of peace.
After the bloodline of the king of the south was cut off, the south of the clouds lost the protection of the "king", as if it was cursed, and people lived in dire straits every day, living a life that was worse than death.
Every day the old forces die out, and every day new ones rise. What remains unchanged is that those poor ordinary people not only have to deal with endless taxes and servitude, but also face the threat of death at all times.
Natural disasters, famines, robbers, warlords...... There are too many things that can threaten the lives of the people in the south of Caiyun, and they are too dense.
"King, save us, King!"
"Where are you, king?
......
They prayed daily for the salvation of the "king", but where was the "king" who could protect them?
Chanda, an ordinary town at the junction of the South of the Colorful Clouds and the Central Royal Court, is not subordinate to any lord, and no lord will be interested in this broken place where birds don't poop.
Because it's a dead city.
The original Chanda was also once prosperous, located on the border between the two countries, with developed trade and rich people, and was a "golden town" that everyone envied. However, since the bloodline of the Southern King left this continent, Chanda has lost his protective power, and because of the particularity of his geographical location and his fame, he has been coveted by all forces.
Today's surname is Ke, tomorrow's surname is Wang, and the day after tomorrow's surname is Li ...... The people of Chanda were accustomed to living on the walls of the Qin Dynasty, and gradually became numb.
After many years of tossing, Zenda is dead. The forces have also lost interest in this land, which cannot be taxed and has to spend money and troops to manage. Zenda, who no one cares about, has become a temporary stronghold for thieves, and the owner who originally lived here can only accept the teasing of fate and live a difficult life.
Those who could flee had already fled, and the town had lost its life. Except for the old and the sick who could not walk, only hordes of robbers would come to rest on the way to robbery. Of course, this also means a new round of calamity for the people of Chanda.
It's not that the people of Chanda haven't thought about resisting. However, the collective inaction of the lords frustrated their plans to rely on their new masters.
After the trade was cut off and the wild robbers plundered, Chanda lost the last of his wealth and was completely reduced to a barren land, and even the rangers who walked the world were unwilling to stay in the ghost place of Chanda, let alone help them get out of the sea of suffering.
If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, perhaps the town of Chanda will slowly turn into a ruin, and then gradually turn into a touch of yellow sand and disappear between heaven and earth under the invasion of time.
Maybe many years later, a few archaeologists will come and point to the walls that have not completely turned into yellow sand, and say with affection: "Look, this is Zenda." ”
Good things don't get noticed until they become relics, and that's the kind of people who are the most people in the world.
This is the fate that Zen is destined for. If there is no turnaround, yes......
