Due to the invasion of the Mist driven by the Mother of Darkness, the coastal provinces of the Tiandu Empire were devastated by near-destruction. In addition to the large number of civilians fleeing in a hurry, there are also many civilians who have been killed by the abyssal monsters or distorted by the fog because they have not been able to flee.

Qi Dezhong unfolded the Beacon Enchantment, although it could isolate the fog from the outside, but it had no ability to dispel and restore the people of the empire who had just been distorted in their form of vitality, and Qi Dezhong exerted such immortal mana, and it really needed to be retreated and cultivated, and the imperial monarchs and ministers felt deeply gracious, and it was impossible to disturb them at this time.

It's just that there are too many people who have been distorted and transformed, if what Qi Dezhong said is correct, the deep and shallow monsters that are controlled by the enchantment and have no ability to resist are all the original subjects of the empire, and seven days after the enchantment was launched, it was roughly calculated that there were more than 1.3 million.

The coastal provinces of the Tiandu Empire have always been rich, and there are more than 10,000 households in any countryside, and the fog hits overnight, even if you are lucky enough not to be bloodied by the deep-sea monsters, you will be shrouded in the fog, and the result is often that the population of villages and towns and counties is distorted into deep-diving monsters, so the number is so huge.

As for the report that Jiang Dan received before, the reason for the incident was that the imperial army had passed through the recovered places, and some of them had experienced brutal bloody battles, and in the face of these deep-diving monsters who did not resist, they were killed.

However, later some warlocks with the army noticed the clues, because these deep-diving monsters are slightly different from the previous batch of bloody battles of the army, except that the appearance of the distortion is not deep, and the internal organs of some of the deep-diving monsters that were killed are very similar to the human body, which makes people have to be suspicious.

The matter was reported to the Imperial Academy step by step, and Yuan Qingbai, one of the three masters, came to the front line to supervise the army, in addition to sending people to garrison a few beacon nodes that had resumed operation, he also came to seal everyone's mouths.

As Emperor Jiang Dan said, the report reported to their monarchs and ministers is a narrative of a few lines, and the lives of millions of imperial citizens are so pale that there is only a string of numbers left, but if it is really implemented, it is a living life. In addition, if the news is spread to the outside world, this kind of cruel fact will be too heavy for the military and the people, and for the current predicament of the Tiandu Empire.

Therefore, in the current situation, on the one hand, it is necessary to block the news and strictly prohibit the circulation, and on the other hand, it is necessary to study the method of restoration and recovery as soon as possible, and save these millions of living beings as much as possible no matter what.

In addition, according to Qi Dezhong's previous words, the Beacon Enchantment can only resist devouring demons such as the Misty Evil Atmosphere and the Mother of Darkness, and cannot resist all external attacks once and for all, so the Tiandu Empire also has to rebuild the defense line of the coastal land in case there are other variables in the Chaos Abyss.

It's just that the Chaos Abyss has not yet launched a second wave of attacks, but the Tiandu Empire has welcomed a new guest.

After the fog receded, the weather was clear, and the coastal garrisons were successively arranged. Compared to the scorched earth of the inland, facing the sea is at least a little more comforting, except for the looming fog on the horizon, which makes people hate.

At this time, a little black shadow broke through the trap in the fog and flew towards the seaside land, the speed was so fast that it gradually became larger in the naked eye's vision, it was actually a floating island, diagonally inserted into the offshore waters, and the huge waves that stirred up almost submerged the imperial garrison.

The soldiers escaped a catastrophe, and then looked up, this floating island fell on the seaside, the buildings on the island tilted but did not collapse, it can be vaguely seen that these buildings are all foreign systems, but they are all Qionglou jade, extremely luxurious.

The warlock in the army was still thinking about passing this situation back, when he saw a burst of blue and white light flashing in the sky, and several figures appeared from it, and the person at the head was Yuan Qingbai, one of the three masters of the academy!

Yuan Qingbai couldn't hide the shock on his face when he saw the fallen island by the sea, waved his hand to sweep away the sea water that poured onto the shore, and ordered the soldiers and warlocks below: "Without my instructions, you must not leave this place, and you must not pass the news at will!"

After that, Yuan Qingbai flew to the island with a few warlock masters, and after landing, he said in surprise: "What about the protective lock on the island?

"Master Yuan, are you here?"

A debilitating voice came from a tower, and a white-bearded old man dressed in hemp walked out against the wall, his face pale and purple, coughing and bleeding from just a few steps.

Yuan Qingbai hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man: "Master Vermeer, you are seriously injured, I will quickly heal you!"

The white-bearded old man didn't stop him, he followed Yuan Qingbai's movements and lay down, several other warlocks took their own medicines, and one of the warlocks sacrificed a bracelet magic weapon, and the soft white light shone on the old man's body, gradually curbing the heavy internal injuries.

This white-bearded old man named Vermeer is the master of Rhodes Island, a magical energy consortium, and a highly respected magician in the consortium, and actively communicates with the Tiandu Empire, and is also a recognized arbiter between the two kingdoms.

Vermeer's knowledge and level of magic were admired even by the Third Master, and he was revered as the "Grand Magister" in the Magical Energy Combination, not only for his ability, but also for his pioneering work in magic.

Rhodes Island is Vermeer's independent magical realm, in other words, it is a blessed place for its own people, and the island is full of magical locks, almost an impregnable fortress.

But Rhode Island and Vermeer who suddenly appeared were in a very bad condition, Yuan Qingbai listened to other warlocks tell that Vermeer's body was entangled and destroyed by many strange forces, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary warlocks have long been broken into minced meat, and even Yuan Qingbai himself does not dare to guarantee that he can bear it.

Slowly struggling to regain a trace of consciousness from the drowsiness, Vermeer's always capable face was full of old age: "Master Yuan, I'm afraid I'm hopeless, a few days ago I noticed a strong change in your empire, and actually repelled the chaos abyss, so I tried my best to break out of the encirclement, just to inform you...... This time the Consortium encountered more than just a surprise attack from the Chaos Abyss—"

Vermeer raised his hand, and a crystal ball floated from not far away, and the crystal ball turned into a round light, and inside was a fierce battle experienced in Rhode Island.

I saw Vermeer alone with great might, and his gestures were all kinds of powerful attack magic, countless abyssal evil creatures, flying insects, and hideous demons, turned into fragments in the lightning and thunder, and such an offensive continued for more than ten days and nights, until Vermeer showed a trace of exhaustion, and in the sea of demons, a majestic body emerged, directly throwing out more than ten floating islands of demonic energy combinations, and flew towards Rhode Island.
