Chapter 572

Time went back to yesterday.

On this day, the imperial capital was also full of all kinds of rumors.

This was the current situation of the imperial capital, and it was not an atmosphere that could be changed in just a day or two.

People did not dare to talk openly about things that had not been confirmed and were just rumors, and could only talk to each other in secret, but it still brought a lot of heavy and oppressive atmosphere to the imperial capital.

Under such circumstances, even the guards of the imperial capital seemed a little absent-minded. Whether it was the guards at the gate or the patrolling guards on the city wall, there was a sense of neglect that they had not had in the past.

Thanks to this, no one noticed that on this day, a black dragon had appeared in the sky above the imperial capital.

It shuttled back and forth in the clouds, looking like a huge black shadow.

It looked down at everything from high in the sky, and its eyes looked a little fierce as it looked at the imperial capital below.

If it were a masterless monster, then it was very likely that it would swoop down directly and launch a surprise attack on the imperial capital of the Ragnar Empire.

Even if the opponent was the number one military power in the human world, the imperial capital was also surrounded by an extremely high-level barrier. In the face of the dragon's breath that could ignore all defenses, it was a very simple thing for the black dragon to rush into the imperial capital.

Of course, it was easy to rush in, but it was difficult to get out.

"You, female Tyrannosaurus, really want to rush into the imperial capital and make a scene?"

On the dragon's back, an irritated voice suddenly rang out.

The black dragon was naturally You Lin.

And who else but Shien could speak on the back of You Lin's dragon?

Shien was standing on You Lin's back, holding Lilith in one hand and La Xia in the other, looking down at the imperial capital below.

After a few days, Shien finally came to the capital of the Ragnar Empire with Lilith and La Xia on You Lin.

At this moment, looking at You Lin, who was somewhat eager to rush down, Shien laughed and scolded.

"Don't think that you're invincible just because you've advanced to the Limit Realm. Let me tell you, before you transform into a human and obtain unique skills, even legendary existences can easily defeat you with their powerful unique skills, let alone the Imperial Knights of the empire. If you don't want to be skinned alive, you'd better behave."

Shien's words were exchanged for You Lin's dissatisfaction.

The Black Dragon let out a few angry roars, sounding both resentful and aggrieved at the same time.

It couldn't be helped.

Thanks to Shien's tireless supply of magic, after leaving the elven homeland and returning to the imperial capital, You Lin finally took a very important step.

This almost invincible king of monsters, which was level 99, had successfully raised its level to 100 just a few days ago.

In other words, the current You Lin was already at the ultimate limit, the limit of life, the highest level that could theoretically be reached.

This made this black dragon extremely excited, and when she was in the imperial capital, she could not help but let out an earth-shattering roar. She even spat out a magnificent dragon breath into the sky, causing a huge commotion.

Because of this, Shien decided to set off immediately. After giving the gifts to Vivian and the others, and explaining Merica's situation, and being inseparable from Rosie for a night, he left the imperial capital with this female Tyrannosaurus who had caused a commotion, and set off for the empire.

Lilith and Hu Xia were the only two people who came with them, just as they had discussed before.

However, because she had advanced to the ultimate level, You Lin had been very excited for the past few days. She could not wait to find a strong opponent to fight with, and she looked dangerous as if she was about to destroy everything.

Now that they had finally arrived at the imperial capital, Shien had poured cold water on her when she was most excited. It was no wonder that You Lin would complain and feel wronged.

However, Shien was right.

Even if You Lin had advanced to the ultimate level, without any unique skills, she might still lose miserably if she faced someone with a powerful unique skill.

Putting everything else aside, the empire's strongest knight, Lockett, was at least at the peak of the Legendary-level. Even if he was not as strong as Alidia, he would not be too far behind.

Sean still remembered that the opponent's level was as high as 97. He was so strong that he could pose a threat to him before he got [Numerology].

You Lin might even fail miserably if she were to face this old knight, let alone charge into the imperial capital and face the army of the empire.

At the side, La Xia looked down at the imperial capital and spoke calmly.

"Unlike the imperial capital, which is vigorously developing magic commerce, the imperial capital is a city of steel that emphasizes military combat power. The number of warriors is overwhelmingly greater than that of mages, and it is very martial."

Shien already knew this.

Even when looking down from here, Shien could see a metropolis glowing with a metallic luster. It looked like a military fortress, and it was somewhat similar to Kosmos.

The difference was that the imperial capital not only occupied a much larger area than Kosmos, but it also exuded a strong atmosphere.

"I remember that in the empire, the most famous knights are not the exclusive knights of the royal family like the imperial knights of the kingdom, but the imperial knights with hundreds of thousands of troops, right?"

Sean vaguely remembered some of the information he had learned about the Empire.

"Yes." La Xia nodded and said expressionlessly, "The imperial knights are similar in nature to the royal knights, but the imperial knights are far more powerful than the royal knights."

"Before the royal knights were severely damaged by Mr. Shien, they had less than 100,000 troops."

"The imperial knights are different. Not only do they have hundreds of thousands of knights, but every knight is also equipped with heavy armor and warhorses. The combat power of a single knight may be several times or even higher than the royal knights."

In this way, the imperial knights were far superior to the royal knights in terms of both quality and quantity.

"As expected of a country with the best military. If it wasn't for the royal knights and the Flying Dragon Legion, we might not be able to contend against them."

Shien curled his lips.

Shien had heard Rosie mention the empire's military policy a few times.

Therefore, he knew that in order to develop the military, the empire not only monopolized the military power, but also encouraged the nobles to train their own private troops, constantly improving the military atmosphere and making the empire's military stronger.

Under such an atmosphere, the strength of the imperial knights was naturally constantly expanded and improved.

On the contrary, the Royal Family's Knights were not as strong as the Kingdom's Royal Guard Knights.

"I remember that although only high-level knights above level 70 can join the imperial knights, there are no knights above level 80. The nature of the imperial knights is more similar to the private troops trained by the royal family, and not like the royal knights of the kingdom, where there are even legendary powerhouses, right?"

Shien sought confirmation from La Xia, who was somehow well-informed.

La Xia gave him an accurate answer.

"Yes." La Xia said, "Here, the imperial knights have great status and power. Unlike the royal knights, which were firmly controlled by the Galuoli family, only the empire itself has the authority to command. With the support and expansion of the royal family and the empire, not only the beings above level 70 and 80, but even legendary powerhouses will choose to join the imperial knights instead of the royal knights, which are similar to the private troops of the royal family."

This was a huge difference between them and the Royal Knights.

In the royal knights, the highest level of the knight leader was only around level 70, and the few deputy leaders were only around level 60. This made the royal knights the gathering place of the kingdom's basic combat power. The high-end combat power would either join the royal knights or be recruited by the nobles to become the leader of the knight regiment in the nobles' territory. The division of combat power was very clear.

The imperial knights were different. They included knights of all levels. Even a legendary powerhouse like Lockett was the leader of the imperial knights instead of joining the royal knights and becoming a guardian of the royal family.

The imperial knights fought in all directions, protecting the country and guarding the borders.

The royal knights of the royal family were responsible for completing the various secret missions ordered by the royal family, so they were more like the private troops of the royal family.

On the other hand, the royal knights were made up of the cornerstones and high-end combat power of the various nobles of the kingdom. The meaning of their existence was to protect the royal family and become the strongest shield of the kingdom.

Therefore, in the empire, the most powerful and highly praised knight regiment was the imperial knights, which gathered hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and not the royal knights who specialized in completing the secret missions ordered by the royal family.

"There are about 33 people in the royal knights, and the highest level is the leader of the royal knights, who seems to be only level 78."

La Xia's words made the corner of Shien's mouth twitch.

Only level 78?

Yes, he was offended.

Both of them were level 78, but Shien didn't know if he should say "f * ck".

In short …

"You want to tell me that the empire is actually very powerful, that no one under their cavalry is perfect, and that everywhere they go, corpses are everywhere, so I should be on my guard, right?"

Shien rolled his eyes.

"No, I'm just mentioning it." La Xia was unmoved. "With Mr. Shien's strength, even if the opponent is the imperial knights, you shouldn't have to worry too much."

After all, Shien was a ruthless person who destroyed almost half of the royal knights with one [Aurora Meteor Shower].

Of course …

"Since the imperial knights are different from the royal knights, the knights in the imperial knights are not all low-level basic combat power. Even I can't destroy half of them with one [Aurora Meteor Shower]."

Shien was very humble, and then changed the topic.

"Although, I really want to try."

No matter what, the current him was different from the him back then, wasn't it?

"Roar!"

You Lin immediately roared, as if strongly agreeing with Shien.

“？”

Lilith tilted her head, and no one knew if she understood.

Shien looked at this little girl and could not help but touch her head.

He still didn't know if he could destroy almost half of the imperial knights with one [Aurora Meteor Shower].

But if it was this evil god, then not to mention half of the imperial knights, he could probably destroy the entire imperial knights with one shot, right?

Even if there was a legendary powerhouse like Lockett, it would be the same.

"Then, let's enter the imperial capital."

Shien patted You Lin's head.

"Old rules, you stay in the sky, and if you're bored, fly nearby and play, but don't go overboard, okay?"

Hearing this, You Lin seemed a little dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to growl.

"Let's go."

Only then did Shien hold Lilith with one hand and La Xia with the other, and with a leap, they jumped off the dragon's back.

The three of them descended to the imperial capital in a free fall.

At the same time, in a dark corner of the imperial capital, a figure in a black robe seemed to raise his head.

There was an inexplicable light flickering in his eyes.
