Chapter 21 Departure to the Royal Capital
The one-horned thunder python group is not large, and the super-level one-horned thunder python should already have high-end combat power. How could the master-level one-horned thunder python in the group watch helplessly as a super-level one-horned thunder python was surrounded and killed.
"We, the human race, have an agreement with the Warcraft. Warcraft above the Grand Master level are not allowed to participate in the siege. Otherwise, the strong humans will take revenge, and the other strong Warcraft cannot stop it." Zhou Qian explained.
"If the super-level one-horned thunder python that participated in the siege escaped back to their territory, the strong humans would not hunt it down. Unfortunately, it was unlucky and could not escape."
"What about our human race? What price should we pay?" The agreement is two-way, and Wang Xing does not believe that the human race does not have to pay any price.
"When the human race is developing territory, they cannot use royal weapons and imperial weapons. They can only open up territory bit by bit. They also have to deal with the tide of beasts that erupt from time to time. Every year, countless lives are lost to the mouths of monsters." Zhou Qian said.
There was a hint of sadness and anger on his face.
Wang Xing was speechless. The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. It seems that the human race in this world is at most the overlord of one party, not the master of the continent.
"If the human race could use the imperial weapon, they would have destroyed those monsters long ago." A trace of dissatisfaction appeared on Zhou Qian's face, and she was a little confused as to why the strong human race would sign such a contract.
"That's impossible." A clear voice sounded from behind the two of them.
"Aunt Xue, Sister Yujiao."
"I've seen the Snow Guard, princess."
At some point, Jin Yujiao and Aunt Xue stood behind the two of them, and the two hurriedly stood up and said hello.
"Even if the human race uses imperial weapons to defeat the monsters, the victory rate is less than 50%. The most likely outcome is that both sides will suffer losses, and this also includes letting the group of gods in the west take action together." Aunt Xue said to herself.
"How is this possible?" Zhou Qian looked confused.
Wang Xing felt nothing. After all, strong human beings were not fools. If they could destroy the monsters, why would they boil frogs in warm water and expand their territory bit by bit?
"How is it impossible?" Aunt Xue asked back: "Although the Warcraft does not have an imperial weapon, the owner of the Warcraft is the strongest person in the mainland. The number of Warcraft above the Grandmaster level is unimaginable. If it were not for the deterrence of the Imperial weapon, which Warcraft would be powerful?
They have already rushed into the human territory and killed them wantonly."
Zhou Qian was silent. She had always thought that the human race was the strongest race on the mainland, capable of killing the air in seconds, but now someone told him that the human race was not the strongest.
"Okay, these things are not what you should be concerned about now. Let's talk about it after you become a grandmaster! Let's all get ready and set off back to the capital early tomorrow morning." Seeing that several people were badly hit, Aunt Xue couldn't help but consoled them.
.
The next day, Wang Xing and others boarded an airship flying to the royal capital. This airship was a self-produced airship produced by the Kingdom of Dachang. Its flying speed was far inferior to Luo Qing's airship. It could fly up to ten thousand miles per day. Luo City
It is nearly 100,000 miles away from the royal capital, which means that Uranus will spend the next ten days on this airship.
Fortunately, the environment on the airship is pretty good. Each person has a separate single room and a small bed, but the space is a bit small.
Lying on the small bed, Wang Xing took out a few books and read them. These books were given by Luo Qing. Yesterday, Luo Qing specially gave Wang Xing a thousand units of the Heart of the Dead, saying that he was grateful for his life-saving grace. If
If Wang Xing had not warned him in advance, he might have been killed by the beast tide.
Wang Xing took the opportunity to ask to buy some books about the Kingdom of Dachang, and Luo Qing gave him a few books directly. Most of the things recorded were relatively secret and could not be seen in the library.
Rumor has it that when an ancestor of the Dachang royal family traveled to the mainland, he accidentally obtained a king-suppressing weapon. At that time, the Jin family was just a small family, and the strongest one was only a ninth-level warrior. The ancestor of the Jin family chose to lie dormant.
This feud lasted for thousands of years and more than ten generations, and the family developed from a small family to a large family. It was not until Jin Zhan, the founding king of Dachang, broke through the king that he established his own kingdom. He relied on the king-suppressing weapon and Jin Zhan's king-level
Strength, the Dachang Kingdom quickly gained a foothold. After the kingdom was stabilized, Jin Zhan stepped down from the throne and began to cultivate in hiding.
Thousands of years after the founding of Dachang, many royal children who were practicing abroad often died in mysterious circumstances. After many searches by the Dachang royal family failed, they had to strengthen the protection of the royal children with better talent in cultivation, but they still could not stop the outstanding children.
After his death, a large number of outstanding disciples died, leaving the high-end combat power of the Dachang royal family in decline.
It has been more than 1,800 years since the founding of Dachang. During this period, some kings were conscientious and some were foolish and unprincipled. Among them, the last king was the worst.
When the previous king first came to the throne, he was quite dedicated. Although he did not attack enough, he was still able to defend more than enough. However, it did not take long for him to change. He only cared about enjoying himself and ignored state affairs, which led to the decline of royal power. The Iron-Blooded Duke took control of the kingdom, and his power reached its peak.
The first Iron-Blooded Duke was a master-level man who followed Jin Zhan. He had great military exploits and was also the only Duke in the Kingdom of Dachang. He had controlled the Blood Wolf Legion among the four ace legions of the Kingdom for generations.
By the time Jin Zhan realized something was wrong, the Iron-Blooded Duke had already taken control of the two legions of blood wolves and war apes. Even the imperial army guarding the royal capital had deployed many people. There were manpower arranged by the Iron-Blooded Duke in every city across the country, and they were also spending a lot of money.
Spend huge sums of money to build Luo City and Blood Wolf Pass in remote places.
It is easy to kill the Iron-blooded Duke, but it is not so easy to completely eradicate the Iron-Blooded Duke's influence. Moreover, once he kills the Iron-Blooded Duke, the people in the Iron-Blooded Duke's palace will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos, and the kingdom will definitely cause great turmoil.
Jin Zhan knew that his deadline was approaching. If the rebellion could not be put down in a short period of time, the weakness of the Dachang Kingdom would be exposed. The Iron-Blooded Duke was not the only enemy of the Dachang Kingdom, so Jin Zhan decided to plan for it slowly, weakening the Iron-Blooded Duke bit by bit.
He believed that as long as the Iron-Blooded Duke didn't get the news of his death, he would never dare to rebel.
After Jin Zhan came out of seclusion, the first thing he did was to depose the previous king and support the current king to ascend the throne. The current king also lived up to his trust, first clearing out the people placed by the Iron-Blooded Duke in the imperial army.
He also forced the Blood Wolf Legion, a direct descendant of the Iron-Blooded Duke, to go west to the Blood Wolf Pass and enter the Chaotic Plains to open up new territories, resulting in the complete annihilation of the Blood Wolf Legion. Afterwards, he successfully regained control of the War Ape Legion.
The Iron-Blooded Duke was naturally not willing to have his power weakened, but the mountain of Jin Zhan was pressing down on them, so they did not dare to make any changes.
There is now news circulating in the Dachang Kingdom that Jin Zhan has died and no one in the royal family can drive the royal weapon. This is why the Iron-Blooded Duke was released to test the royal family's reaction and confirm whether Jin Zhan is still alive.
The lifespan of a king-level powerhouse is only about two thousand years. Jin Zhan was already over 500 years old when he founded the country. Even if there were treasures to extend his life, he would live for another two to three hundred years at most. The Iron-Blooded Duke judged that Jin Zhan had died, but
No news was spread.
*************************************************************************************************************
Just as Wang Xing was heading to the capital in an airship, two people were talking about news about him in an extremely luxurious manor in the capital of Dachang.
In the study, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Lin Fei was facing an old man with white hair and beard, and said, "Father."
The old man's name is Lin Xiong, the current Iron-Blooded Duke is Lin Fei's father, the middle-aged man Lin Tian, the next duke heir, and Lin Fei's brother.
"How's the investigation going?" Lin Xiong asked casually without getting angry, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"It has been found out that Xiao Fei chased the necromancer out of the city and brought the city guard commander and three hundred gangsters with him." Lin Tian said respectfully.
"So, Fei'er's death has nothing to do with that necromancer." Lin Xiong's squinting eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Yes, Zhang Chao sent a message that the necromancer has boarded the airship and will arrive at the royal capital in the near future. Should we..." Lin Tian gestured with his hand under his neck as he spoke.
"No, that old king is waiting for us to make a mistake!" Lin Xiong shook his head and refused.
The Iron-Blooded Duke's power now is far less powerful than it was two hundred years ago. Even if the Golden War was still there, both sides could still fight to the death. The former Iron-Blooded Duke did not want to make wedding clothes for others and chose to endure. In the end, he died in depression.
And now if Jin Zhan dies, the Iron-blooded Duke is 80% sure to replace him. If Jin Zhan is still alive, the Iron-blooded Duke will die. Therefore, before the specific information of Jin Zhan is confirmed, the Iron-blooded Duke will never take action easily and can only keep testing.
.
"But..." Hearing that Lin Xiong didn't seem to be ready to retaliate, Lin Tian suddenly became a little anxious. As the duke's heir, it was time for him to show off. He had already made a very detailed plan before coming.
"Okay, I will handle this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Xiong interrupted him.
"Yes." Even if he was unwilling to give up, Lin Tian could only give up.
"A small impatience will mess up a big plan. We are at a critical moment now. Don't let a small person ruin a big thing." Lin Xiong taught patiently.
"I understand, Father."
****************
The sun is shining brightly, and the spring sunshine is not as hot as summer. It shines warmly on the body, making people feel very comfortable.
On the hillside of the Ice Demon Tiger's territory, Wang Xing lay on his back on a fired animal hide, drowsy under the warm sunlight, while Dian Wei stood aside to protect the law.
As for why Dian Wei appears next to Wang Xing, we have to start before boarding the airship.
When Wang Xing saw the flesh puppets enjoying hot and spicy food outside, he felt dissatisfied, so he bought a large amount of daily necessities, various seasonings, and even several barbecue grills and hot pots, and asked Dian Wei to quietly take them back to the cave.
Wang Xing had been reading a book in the airship for two days before, and he felt dizzy from reading. In a fit of anger, he summoned the basic skeletons to collect, and then slapped his forehead, and he was done.
There is no need to read books, Wang Xing becomes idle, and besides eating, Jin Yujiao and others basically stay in their own rooms to practice, and Wang Xing is not easy to disturb.
Just leave a basic skeleton to guard the door, return your consciousness to the original body, drink monkey wine, eat all kinds of delicacies and game every day, and bask in the sun if you have nothing to do. What a wonderful life!
