Standing on top of the walls of Lore City, the general of the city guards looked into the distance. Sure enough, he discovered a large group of people gathered there ten kilometers away. Although they were very far away, with his eyesight, he could still faintly make out the silvery-white armor worn by those people.
"Where did those people come from?" The general asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know. They seemed to have suddenly appeared there, and their numbers are still increasing." A deputy general standing next to him said with a panicked expression.
The general stood on the walls and stared for a while. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the number of people in the distance had increased from a few thousand to over ten thousand at an incredible speed. The circle was also constantly expanding. With over ten thousand people gathered together, not only was there no chaos, but they also spread out in all directions in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they were a well-trained army.
At this time, many people outside of Lore City had discovered the sudden appearance of these people in the distance. Not only did the soldiers on the city walls notice them, even the merchants and mercenaries entering and leaving Lore City noticed them. Some of the bolder mercenaries couldn't hold back their curiosity and rode their mounts in the direction of these people.
The City Guard Commander stood on top of the city gate tower and stared at the approaching mercenaries with a solemn expression. He wanted to use them to determine whether the people in front of him were friends or foes. If they were enemies, then these mercenaries would definitely not be able to survive and he wouldn't have to risk his life to scout the situation in front of him.
Soon, over a hundred mercenaries approached the Eastern Sword Legion of the Qin Empire. However, they were blocked by the soldiers of the Eastern Sword Legion. Not only were they unable to enter, they could not see the scenery inside. Every soldier of the Eastern Sword Legion was an iron-blooded man who had experienced slaughter and salute. Moreover, each of them possessed extraordinary strength. Just the enormous and bloody aura they exuded was a great deterrent to these mercenaries. Facing the soldiers of the Eastern Sword Legion, even the unyielding and hot-tempered mercenaries could not help but shrink their necks. Just the aura alone was enough to defeat them.
"Who are you?" A courageous mercenary braced himself and asked. However, what awaited him were the cold and sharp gazes of several soldiers. Under the gaze of these gazes, the mercenary could not help but turn pale. He could not help but take a step back. He only felt that the people staring at him were not people, but ferocious beasts. He did not even have the courage to look them in the eyes.
Seeing that there was no fighting in front of him, the general was relieved. He knew that the other party was not an enemy, so he immediately said to the person beside him: "Immediately send someone to inform the city lord's mansion and Changyang Prefecture. Tell them the situation here."
"Yes!" The soldier immediately ran off. Meanwhile, the general in charge of guarding the city led a group of five hundred elite soldiers out of Lore City on magical beast mounts. He personally went to check out the situation.
The general stopped when he was fifty meters away from the Eastern Sword Legion. He then dismounted from his magical beast mount and strode forward with his head held high. However, as soon as he approached the people of the Eastern Sword Legion, several dozen cold and emotionless gazes gathered on him, accompanied by an invisible pressure.
The general's face changed, and he immediately became stern. He was secretly astounded. He found it unbelievable that these soldiers could actually make him feel slightly pressured even with his strength as an Earth Saint Master.
"Everyone, I am the general of Lore City, Tu Fu. May I ask who you are?" The general clasped his hands and spoke in a humble tone. However, what awaited him were the cold gazes of the soldiers. Not a single person answered him.
Tu Fu awkwardly put down his hand. Perhaps he was intimidated by the aura of these soldiers, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of displeasure. He immediately looked inside and saw that there were figures everywhere. It was so densely packed that only three layers could be seen. Inside, there were layers upon layers of figures, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. If one didn't fly into the sky, it would be impossible to see the situation inside. Moreover, as the troops slowly moved, the number of people inside increased rapidly.
"Who are these people? Where did they come from? Is there some kind of secret passage here?" The general guessed inside. However, what made him feel at ease was that these people did not show any hostility, so they should not be enemies. Otherwise, it would definitely be a disaster for such a large group of soldiers to suddenly appear outside the city.
At this moment, the soldiers in front of the general slowly parted, and a three meter long passage gradually formed. A few people walked out from this passage.
Seeing this, the general's expression turned serious. He had already guessed that these people must be the leaders. He immediately focused his attention.
The two people walking at the front were both young men in their twenties. Both of them had extraordinary bearings. When the general recognized Jianchen, he was startled. He hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Tu Fu greets the Fourth Young Master!" Although there were not many people in Lore City who had seen Jianchen's face, Tu Fu was one of them. Thus, he recognized Jianchen at a glance and hurriedly bowed.
Jianchen stood in front of Tu Fu and said, "Commander Tu Fu, take your men back. Don't worry about the matters here."
"This general obeys!" Tu Fu immediately clasped his hands, looking like a subordinate accepting an order from his superior. Jianchen's current status in the Kingdom of Gesun was Imperial Protector. He did indeed have the right to order a mere general of a city guard.
"Let's all go into the city." Jianchen said to the people behind him. He then rose into the air with Qin Ji and flew into the city. Behind him, the five Imperial Protectors of the Qin Empire and three people in silver-white armor slowly rose into the air, radiating with various elemental energies. They followed closely behind Jianchen.
Tu Fu, who had not yet gone far, saw this and was immediately shocked. His eyes widened as he involuntarily cried out, "Oh my god! They … they … they're actually all Heaven Saint Masters!"
Watching Jianchen's group fly into the distance, Tu Fu finally returned to his senses after a long time. He let out a long sigh and slowly suppressed the shock in his heart. He was still in a state of shock as he muttered to himself, "This fourth young master of Changyang Prefecture is just too amazing. I wonder where he got so many Heaven Saint Masters from." Watching Jianchen disappear into the sky, Tu Fu's eyes were filled with admiration and admiration.
Jianchen's group flew very quickly and soon arrived above Changyang Prefecture. They then slowly descended under the dumbfounded gazes of a large group of people.
Just as they landed, five powerful auras shot over from nearby. Chang Wuji, Cao Keqin, Dongyi, Junbai, Tian Luo, and Qing Shaofan flew over like lightning. Their auras shook the heavens. The appearance of several Heaven Saint Masters in the sky had alarmed them. They thought that the experts of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom had come again, so their auras were filled with surging battle intent.
However, when they saw that the people who had come were all Jianchen, they immediately rejoiced and their powerful auras disappeared in an instant.
"Imperial Protector!" Qing Shaofan and the three others stood before Jianchen and clasped their hands in greeting. Chang Wuji stood to the side and looked at the people behind Jianchen in shock. He was also extremely unsettled, but it was soon replaced by a gratified smile.
"I never thought that the fourth young master would actually bring back eight Heaven Saint Masters in just a few days." Chang Wuji was extremely excited. The fourth young master was so capable. He could already see the day when Changyang Prefecture would soar under the fourth young master's lead.
"Did anything happen in the two days I was gone? Were there any movements from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom? "Jianchen asked calmly." Nothing.
Everything is normal. As for the news from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom, we're not too sure. In any case, no experts have come to cause trouble. The Heaven Saint Masters of the Kingdom of Gesun also knew that the king was attacked, so they sent three experts from various places to gather in the imperial palace. In addition to the one expert originally in the imperial palace, there are now four Heaven Saint Masters. Xiaotian is still in the imperial palace, but he's worried that Lore City's strength is insufficient, so he sent me back to guard this place. "Qing Shaofan said.
"Good!" Jianchen nodded in satisfaction. He then turned to Chang Wuji and said, "Chang Bo, this is my brother, the third prince of the Qin Empire, Qin Ji. These five are the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire. These three are the commanders of the most elite troops of the Qin Empire, the Eastern Deity Sword Legion. They've come with me from the Qin Empire to deal with the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom."
Chang Bo did not dare to tarry and hurriedly asked a few questions. After exchanging some pleasantries, everyone was warmly invited by Chang Wuji to a luxurious inn that they were temporarily staying in.
Changyang Ba also received the news. This matter was of great importance to both the Changyang Prefecture and the Kingdom of Gesun, so he naturally could not do nothing. He immediately ordered the inn to prepare the best banquet to welcome these people who had come from the Qin Empire.
Because the people who had come this time were either the Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire, generals, or princes, their high status made many of the old people in the Changyang Prefecture feel weak in the knees. As a result, there were not many people in the Changyang Prefecture who had the qualifications to attend the banquet. Other than Chang Wuji, there were only four people: Jianchen, his parents, and his parents.
As for Princess You Yue, because she was Jianchen's fiancée, she also had the qualifications to sit. Ming Dong and Dugu Feng also had extraordinary backgrounds, so they naturally had the qualifications to sit as well.
The ten Imperial Advisors of the Qin Empire and the three Qin Mingwu and his sons accompanied Changyang Ba, his wife, and Chang Wuji at the same table. Because the Imperial Advisors who had arrived earlier had already told the people who came later about the relationship between Changyang Ba and the others and the Imperial Protector, the five Imperial Advisors and three generals who had just arrived treated Changyang Ba and his wife with great respect.
At the other table, Jianchen, Ming Dong, Dugu Feng, Princess You Yue, and Qin Ji were also chatting happily. Because they were all old acquaintances who had met at the Mercenary Tournament, they were all very happy to see each other.
Just as everyone was chatting at the table, the City Lord's Manor and Changyang Prefecture also received news that an unidentified army had suddenly appeared outside the city.
This news was received by one of the higher-ups of Changyang Prefecture, but he already knew the inside story. He only smiled mysteriously and didn't seem to care at all. However, the City Lord couldn't remain as calm as him. He immediately dropped everything at hand and rushed over with several experts and an army.
When the City Lord stood on the city walls of Lore City and looked into the distance, the number of people there had already increased by twenty thousand. Moreover, there were several large banners in the crowd. The banners fluttered in the wind, and the large 'Qin' character was very eye-catching.
