The central area of the Thousand Kingdoms Territory is very vast. It is precisely because this area is so large that it is divided into two areas: east and west.
The eastern region is composed of dozens of kingdoms and countless small countries. The countries in this region are basically considered enslaved countries by the Assassination Society.
The western region is composed of six empires. These six empires are so powerful in military power that the Assassination Society has not been able to occupy them until now.
The six empires are: Ancient Sealand Empire, Gubas Empire, Bangladesh Empire, Polish Empire, Shura Empire, and Matrix Empire.
The empire closest to the eastern region is the Ancient Sealand Empire.
If the Assassination Society were to attack the six empires, there is no doubt that the first one to bear the brunt would be the Ancient Sealand Empire.
The violent pterosaur flew all the way west, carrying everyone for two days and two nights, and finally arrived at the Ancient Zealand Empire on the morning of the third day.
The former military fortresses on the border of the Ancient Sealand Empire have not yet been invaded or attacked. It is obvious that the assassination group has not yet begun its operations.
After entering the territory of the Ancient Zealand Empire, Lin Yun landed in a local town, found the mayor and asked for the specific location of the imperial capital, and then rushed towards the imperial capital without stopping.
Lin Yun planned to go to the Ancient Sealand Imperial Capital to make a deal with the Ancient Sealand Emperor. On the condition of destroying the assassination society, the Ancient Sealand Emperor would mobilize the people of Ancient Sealand to help him find the soul jade fragments.
In this way, Lin Yun not only destroyed the assassination guild, but also obtained the soul jade fragments. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.
The area of the ancient Sealand Empire was very large, so large that it could be compared with half of the southeastern region, and was almost ten times the size of the Southern Xia Kingdom.
Lin Yun and others took the violent pterosaur and flew within the ancient Sealand Empire for most of the night, but failed to fly to the imperial capital of the ancient Sealand Empire.
It wasn't until dawn the next morning that Lin Yun and others arrived at the capital of the ancient Zealand Empire.
The imperial capital of the ancient Sealand Empire was also very large in scale. The area of the city surrounded by its city walls was more than ten times larger than that of the Southern Xia Royal City, and it covered the entire ground plane from a distance.
When the violent pterosaur flew less than a hundred meters above the imperial capital, it suddenly touched a transparent object, which was like an invisible film, blocking the violent pterosaur from falling, making it unable to descend at all.
Lin Yun immediately opened his mind and used his powerful perception to gain insight. Then he unexpectedly discovered that the entire sky above the imperial capital was covered by an invisible barrier.
This barrier is in the shape of an eggshell, and its edges are seamlessly connected to the city wall. Not even a fly can fly in.
Lin Yun made a visual inspection and found that the entire imperial capital's area was at least fifty miles in diameter.
To lay out such a large area of protective barrier, at least four strong martial arts masters who understand formations must join forces to do it.
This is the courage of the third-grade empire, which is completely unmatched by the second-grade kingdom.
Because of the obstruction of the city protection barrier, Lin Yun could not enter the imperial capital directly, so he had to land outside the city and then enter the imperial capital through the city gate.
The city gate is a majestic and huge stone gate. The material of this stone gate is not ordinary stone, but black gold stone that is harder than metal.
The door panel blocking the city gate is a black gold stone gate more than ten meters high. It clamps into the ground like a beheading axe, completely blocking the city gate, not even a fly can fly in.
In addition, there are dozens of guards armed with long axes, guarding the city gate loyally.
Each of these guards has a sturdy build and a restrained and powerful aura.
Although the long axes in their hands are not treasures, they are made of special metal and are very strong.
Those long axes seemed extremely heavy, but when they held them in their hands, they seemed to be weightless, and they didn't feel any difficulty at all.
And their cultivation level is also above that of warriors, and the guard captain headed by them has even reached the level of martial artist.
Just the guards at the city gates have reached the level of warriors and even martial arts masters. This is enough to show how powerful this ancient Zealand empire is.
As soon as Lin Yun and others approached the city gate, they were directly intercepted by the gate guards.
"Who is it? Stop!"
The two guards crossed their battle axes in front of Lin Yun and questioned Lin Yun and others in unusually fierce tones.
Just as Shangguan Xia Yan was about to take action, Lin Yun reached out to stop him, and then said to the guard expressionlessly: "We are warriors who have come from afar. We want to enter the imperial capital to purchase some materials. Please let us pass."
Lin Yun knew that even if he said that he was here to help solve the assassination gang, these guards would never believe him and would definitely treat him as a madman.
Therefore, Lin Yun did not directly ask to see their emperor, but said that he was here to purchase materials and would first find a way to sneak into the city before talking about the rest.
"Please show me your imperial citizen's ID card," one of the guards said.
After hearing the guard's words, everyone froze on the spot.
Imperial citizenship certificate?
What the hell is this?
At this moment, a carriage drove to the city gate and stopped. A middle-aged businessman dressed as a businessman jumped out of the carriage, took out a badge and handed it to the guard.
The guard took the badge and inspected it, then returned it to the businessman and said to him: "You can go in."
"Thank you, sir." The merchant bowed his head to the guard, then jumped on the carriage, mounted his horse and drove into the city.
The guard's eyes fell back on Lin Yun: "Didn't you hear just now? I asked you to bring out your birth certificate."
"We don't." Lin Yun replied calmly.
"No one is allowed to enter the imperial capital without proof of identity as an imperial citizen. This is the rule of the empire!" the guard said in a strong tone.
Shangguan Xia Yan said angrily: "We are not from this empire, how can we have a certificate of birth as an imperial citizen?"
After hearing Shangguan Xia Yan's words, all the guards showed contempt.
"People who are not from the Empire still want to enter the Imperial Capital? What do you think the Imperial Capital is?"
"You look like you have never seen the world. You can tell at a glance that you are from a small kingdom. You don't even know the basic system of the empire. The imperial capital of our empire is no different from the royal city of your kingdom. Not just anyone can enter.
"
"If you are wise, get out of here, otherwise I will arrest you as undercover agents!"
After hearing the words of these guards, Shangguan Xia Yan finally couldn't hold back his anger and shouted loudly: "You ignorant guys, do you know what our boss is here for? He is here to help your emperor solve the assassination meeting!
"
Because Shangguan Xia Yan's voice was loud, the citizens of the empire who were coming in and out were all attracted.
The city gate that was originally open to traffic was soon blocked by a large number of people watching the fun.
Everyone pointed at Lin Yun and others, and their looks at Lin Yun and others became very strange, as if they were looking at a group of idiots.
