Fighting broke out everywhere, and the destruction began at the competition venue, spreading through the entire city at a terrifying speed. All of the guards had already seen the signal to gather … They used a special channel to give out orders, and also threw themselves into the rescue work at an extremely fast speed.
The Peace Between Man And Nature was no longer there. Quark, who held Sacred Swordsman Li Youlo's handwriting, now controlled the power of the entire capital's guards.
However, bad news kept coming … This did not make Quark feel happy at all.
'Teacher asked me to carry out the rescue. Perhaps he wants to see my performance in this operation …' He silently watched the busy figures of his guards below, but his thoughts gradually became complicated.
'I've followed Teacher for so many years, and in the end, I still have to go through such a test before I can barely obtain the swordsoul beast … The Peace Between Man And Nature and that Ji Lian, with just the words of an old friend, can erase all my years of hard work and walk in front of me.'
He sneered as he sized up the chaotic capital and said mockingly, "Perhaps this is the so-called life?"
"My Lord! The Third Avenue! The Seventh District! And the Kerim River … East District, West District, and Central District, there are Professionals and civilians who have gone berserk! They attack madly as soon as they see a living person, and they are not afraid of pain … The guards have already started a war with these berserk humans on the Third Avenue! "
"What did you say? Berserk humans?" Quark turned around abruptly. "How did this happen? Can you find out the reason?"
"It's too sudden, there's no way to investigate!" The subordinate said in a panic, "Once you're attacked and injured by these berserk people, you'll become like them! I only found that the guards didn't know at first and suffered losses. A large number of soldiers have also been infected. They've started to evacuate from several main avenues and are currently converging in the direction of the palace. "
"What about the city guards?"
"Don't mention it! A group of Professionals broke into the city guards' headquarters amidst the chaos. The city guards' governor was assassinated, and they also lost a few high-ranking officers. Now, the entire city guards' command system is in chaos … In addition to the killings in the capital and the sudden and terrifying spread of the disease, they can't even take care of themselves and have even started to withdraw … Now, only our people are left, still trying to evacuate the civilians. But my Lord, the shelters in the city are almost full. "
"The chief wants us to save as many people as possible." Quark said in a deep voice, "Pass down my orders. Open the garrison compound and take in the fugitives. Requisition all the buildings within a hundred-meter radius from the main street of the garrison and send men to guard the four corners! Since there aren't enough shelters, let's create a temporary shelter street! "
"If that's the case, I'm afraid … I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."
"Along the way, there should be some scattered soldiers from the city defense team. Try to temporarily incorporate them as much as possible." Quark quickly said, "In the name of the Sacred Swordsman … It's a time of calamity now. Let's not bother about the problems with the system. If there are any troublemakers, charge them with treason during wartime and execute them before reporting!"
Then, Quark issued a series of orders until his subordinates left with their orders. Only then did he hurry back to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the courtyard of the guards division.
What happened in the imperial city was completely out of his control … The danger of the situation had even exceeded everyone's expectations. At this moment, Quark knew he could only discuss it with Sword Saint Liuro.
Even though this might lower his teacher's evaluation of him … if he did not know his limits, it would only make things worse. He was afraid that his teacher's evaluation of him would only be lower.
However, Sword Saint Liuro was not in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at this moment … When Quark returned again.
"Teacher … is not here?"
Looking at the empty pavilion in the middle of the lake, Quark could not help but frown. He could not even find any information left behind by the Sacred Swordsman. In other words, Sacred Swordsman Liuro had suddenly left without telling anyone?
Perhaps, it was because he was in too much of a hurry?
Quark could not help but feel a little heavy in his heart at this moment … He subconsciously looked at the surface of Remnant Sword Lake. Since Ji Lian started implanting the Swordsoul Beast, there had been an obscure presence coming from the bottom of the Sword Vault.
But now, this presence had disappeared … Ji Lian was obviously no longer in this Remnant Sword Lake.
Perhaps he was taken away by the Sacred Swordsman?
"But where did they go … And why didn't they inform me?" Quark thought about it and paced back and forth restlessly in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Finally, he walked in.
The calm lake water was right under his feet. As long as he took another step forward, he could easily fall into the lake … He lifted his foot slightly.
"The third Swordsoul Beast will mature soon … I'm just going to take a look. I don't plan to do anything," he muttered to himself. "The third Swordsoul Beast is going to be mine soon. So what if I take a look?"
Gritting his teeth, Quark jumped and directly jumped into the lake water.
Among the younger generation, his combat strength could be said to be the strongest. It allowed him to easily separate the lake water and sink into the Sword Vault at the bottom of the lake.
However, when Quark stood in the Sword Vault at the bottom of the lake, he was completely stunned on the spot!
Countless broken swords were originally buried here, emitting their will that lasted for a long time … But now, these broken swords that contained strong wills were dim and lightless, as if they had exhausted everything.
Quark's expression changed drastically. A hint of fear flashed across his eyes. Without saying anything, he jumped into the crack in the Sword Vault.
"How could this be … Why did the Swordsoul Beast Mother die?! Why did it die?! "
"The Swordsoul Beast Mother is gone … My Swordsoul Beast is gone too … Gone … Gone …"
"Teacher … You lied to me! All these years … You lied to me! "
"… There is no third Swordsoul Beast!"
"You would rather give them to the so-called descendants of your old friends than give them to me, your student who serves you like a servant … Li Youluo!!!"
…
Bang —!!
A loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the guards division's courtyard.
That was the place where the Sword Saint lived in seclusion. Even the guards division's people could not easily step into that place … However, the moment the loud noise came, the guards had no choice but to go and investigate.
The crowd came to the side of Remnant Sword Lake and saw that the air was currently filled with a thick mist … Quark was currently walking out of the mist expressionlessly.
He had always been like this. His expression was cold and the crowd was used to it.
"Lord Quark, what happened? Where's the chief? "
"Teacher had something to do, so he left at the last minute." Quark said expressionlessly, "Before he left, he temporarily handed over full authority of the guards division to me … Let's continue with what we should be doing. Who can tell me, how's the construction of the guard line outside going? "
"Soon! Our people are guiding the fugitive residents in the city to retreat here. "
"Mm, I'll be there to direct the command. All of you, follow me," Quark said and walked in front of the crowd.
A subordinate suddenly came up to him and asked softly, "My lord, the chief isn't here, and the imperial city is in such a state. What we need to do urgently now is to invite the young chief of the Peace Between Man And Nature back to take charge of the situation."
Quark stopped abruptly and nodded. "Yes, we should bring him back … Bring a few brothers and bring back the Peace Between Man And Nature. At this time, he's still wandering around outside. He's being suspected of neglecting his duty … Go, bring the Peace Between Man And Nature back to me. "
"Lord Quark?" The subordinate could not help but be shocked as he looked on in horror.
Behind him, the crowd who heard Quark's words were all shocked.
Quark suddenly chuckled. "I mean, if you don't use such a harsh tone, how can you make the Peace Between Man And Nature return willingly … Don't you know our young chief's personality? I just want to scare him and make him understand his own laziness. "
"I see." The subordinates immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "I understand. We'll bring the young chief … Mm, bring him back as soon as possible!"
"Let's go too! The imperial city is too big. With a few more people, it'll be more efficient. "
The remaining few people said one after another, then quickly turned around and left.
Right at this moment, a cold gleam suddenly appeared behind the crowd … In the blink of an eye, these few veterans of the guards division fell to the ground instantly … There was a thin line of blood on their throats.
"In your hearts, is there only one Peace Between Man And Nature?" Quark walked past these corpses coldly. "Have you all forgotten that I'm Youlo's first student?"
He swung the longsword in his hand. The longsword slashed on the rock, drawing a line of sparks. Then, with a flick of the longsword, the sparks flew out and landed directly on the corpses of the few veterans of the guards division.
The fire was burning.
"Without the swordsoul beast, the only chance I have to become a saint is perhaps …" At this moment, Quark's eyes shone in the direction of the palace as he muttered, "The Dragon Clan's sacred pool bestowed by the Dragon Queen …"
…
…
The spear was as fast as lightning, and it constantly blossomed into silver spear flowers around Wally.
Behind them were collapsing buildings.
The head maid of the palace, Laura, seemed to have the intention to kill at this moment. Each of her attacks contained endless killing intent.
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
After a round of rapid attacks without any results, Laura stopped … As an outsider, not only could they use the fastest speed to obtain power that far surpassed this world's professionals, they could also become even more powerful step by step.
Once, this outsider man before her had single-handedly destroyed more than half of the continent's dragons, inflicting heavy losses on the continent's dragons. At that time, she was still an immature dragon.
"Why should I fight back?" Mr. Varley shook his head. "If I wanted to deal with you, I could have done it last night in the palace … Laura, you should know that I've never been willing to hurt you."
"Back then, when you slaughtered more than half of the dragons, why didn't you think that you wouldn't hurt me?" Laura raised her longspear. "How many of my loved ones have been buried by your hands … I really regret leading you to the Dragon Clan's territory! Die! "
She used all her speed and waved her spear … But she saw that Mr. Varley didn't move at this time. He even opened his hands and let her weapon pierce his chest.
The moment the shocking killing intent was about to kill, it suddenly became chaotic … Laura stiffly twisted her wrist, and the longspear instantly avoided Mr. Varley's heart, but it had directly pierced his chest.
"Why didn't you … dodge?"
At this time, Mr. Varley showed a complicated and painful smile. His palm gently stroked Laura's beautiful face. "I'm sorry that I did that to your race … I'm powerless to defend myself. For me, this world is strange. I don't belong here. I don't have any sense of approval for anyone or anything here. Therefore, I didn't hesitate to hurt your clan and even your loved ones in order to complete my mission. But … but only you, only you are different. "
"Don't say it!"
"Even after I completed my mission and left this world, I still couldn't forget my encounter with you." Mr. Varley's face gradually turned pale, "Only you can make me have such a real attachment to this world … Only you are different for me. Laura, I want to call you my one and only … I want, I really want to take you away from this world. "
"Don't say it —!!"
"I'm sorry …" Mr. Varley coughed out blood and slowly fell to the ground, "I left … for so long before I came back."
"Varley!! Don't die —! "
Seeing Varley fall into her arms, Laura suddenly threw away the longspear in her hand in horror. She grabbed her hair and screamed several times.
Suddenly, she hugged Mr. Varley's body, and her eyes were blank, "I won't let you die … I will never let you die … I will save you, I will save you …"
She soared into the sky.
When Laura took Varley away, a shadow suddenly appeared in the air … His eyes followed the direction where Laura took Mr. Varley.
"Is this the reason why you let me observe Laura … my king?" He slowly exhaled, and immediately after that, he once again turned into a shadow … and very quickly, he disappeared.
…
…
"Let me in, I have something important to report to His Majesty —!"
In the Princess' Palace, the commander of the Imperial Guards stood outside the door with an anxious expression, but he was blocked by the Princess' Guards.
"Her Highness is having a meal with His Majesty. No one is allowed to disturb her. If you have something to say, wait until after the meal."
"Damn it! Do you know what happened outside the palace … What terrible things happened in the King's City?! "The commander of the Imperial Guards was furious at this time," You dog! You dare to block my way … I am the commander of the Imperial Guards. In theory, you are also my subordinates! Get out of my way, or die! "
A silver light flashed out.
The commander of the Imperial Guards stared in disbelief at this time. He didn't expect that the Princess' Guards would directly attack him in front of the public … And it was a cold knife.
Unexpectedly, the commander of the Imperial Guards' head was thrown into the air, and his blood was still flowing.
"Come, clean up the body and wipe the floor."
After saying that, they all returned to their respective posts … standing there like puppets.
Suddenly, they seemed to feel something and looked up. They saw that in the night sky illuminated by the fire, something was rapidly approaching … It seemed to be a monster with the ability to fly!
…
What happened outside the Princess' Palace didn't affect anything in the Princess' Palace … Even the turbulent sounds outside the palace were very faint here.
Only half of the night sky, which was burned by the fire, could be seen clearly.
At this time, the maids were uneasy, but they didn't dare to make a sound as they stood in the Princess' Dining Hall, waiting on Queen Hilda, King Amos, and Princess Carol to eat.
On the wide and long table, there were three different dishes at this time … King Amos had an exquisite menu in front of him, while Queen Hilda only had a glass of water in front of her.
Princess Carol was different … In front of her was some fresh meat — definitely fresh blood — high-end ingredients that didn't even need to be cooked.
"Speaking of which, it seems that Laura is missing." Queen Hilda suddenly said at this time.
Princess Carol, whose mouth was stuffed with fresh meat, said, "I asked Laura to find me some new toys. I'm too fat, so I need to digest after eating, mother!"
"How could that be?" Queen Hilda smiled and said, "My Carol is the healthiest … But, do you want a new toy so soon? The champion that you want should appear very soon. "
"It's fine." Princess Carol raised her head and said, "I can still eat!"
Queen Hilda smiled casually, then suddenly looked at King Amos, "Amos, I heard that two days before I came, you encountered an assassination attempt … The assassin even directly broke into Carol's residence. This assassin and the one I met last night shouldn't be the same person, right? "
"The first assassin who tried to assassinate Carol was masked the whole time, so no one knows his origin." King Amos put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and said casually, "But since you're here, I don't think that assassin would dare to appear again."
Right at this moment, a maid hurriedly walked in and said in fear, "Your Majesty the Empress, Your Majesty the King … Just now, a member of the personal guards reported that a monster is quickly approaching the palace … The monster seems to be carrying a few people!"
"Oh?" Queen Hilda said with interest, "So soon, someone has already obtained the orb and brought it to me? I want to see what kind of person can become Carol's … new toy tonight. "
After saying that, the Dragon Empress stood up.
Seeing this, Princess Carol swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth a few times, and hurriedly stood up, "Mother! This is my toy, I won't allow you to take it away!! "
"I know." Queen Hilda smiled casually, but said, "But if it's really outstanding, it's hard to say."
"Mother! How can you be like this?! "Princess Carol immediately shouted.
Queen Hilda walked slowly out of the dining hall with a charming laugh, and Princess Carol followed closely behind.
King Amos … At this time, King Amos picked up his knife and fork again, cutting the meat, and said indifferently, "Dinner isn't over yet. Come back after seeing the people."
There was no one in front of him now.
… …
King Amos moved a piece of meat he had just cut to an unused plate, and then pushed the plate to a seat on the side.
Then, he forked a piece of dessert and put it on another empty seat on the side.
"Is it good? If it's good, then eat more."
It was as if someone was by his side … accompanying him like a family member.
