When seven or eight professionals covered in blood dragged the corpses of the snakemen who had returned to their original appearance after death and a cart of soul jars after a long journey into the gate of Kaldeum City, everyone saw these things.
The people of Kejistan were shocked.
Although most of the corpses of these snake-man projections have been decomposed, their true identities can still be clearly seen from their unique body shapes and clothing.
Especially those soul jars. The sergeant major of the Kaldeum City Guards opened one in public, and the desecrated and tortured painful souls that flew out immediately alerted the Mages Union and Guardians of Kaldeum.
Four legendary powerhouses rushed to the scene together and conducted a series of investigations and tests on the remaining soul jars.
In the end, they came to the conclusion that the snake-man cultists of the True God Religion were collecting human souls for some extremely evil purpose.
This evil purpose is likely to be related to the masters behind them and their true plans.
The purpose of the earlier attack on Alkanas and the subsequent series of attacks pretending to be bug swarms and bandits were probably all preparations for this plan.
They must find a way to find out this plan and take precautions, otherwise judging from the number of souls these guys have collected, once their plan is successfully implemented, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Kejistan.
However, a thorough investigation of this matter requires a large number of capable manpower. However, what Kegistan lacks most now is precisely capable manpower.
All professionals and mercenaries in the kingdom who have the ability to fight against monsters have long been recruited. All legions, including the Iron Wolf Guards, have entered various large and medium-sized towns in the country to garrison to prevent the True God Cult from attacking these important towns.
Even the mages in the Mages Union have been stationed in various important strongholds. The entire Kingdom of Kejistan is now in an embarrassing situation of extreme tension but no one available.
Those small villages and towns are only defended by security teams composed of ordinary people. These security teams can be used reluctantly when facing ordinary thugs and bandits, but it is completely difficult for them to defend against the infiltration and invasion of the True God Sect.
Faced with this situation, the three guardians stationed in Kaltim decided to report the matter to the parliament, hoping that the parliament would come forward and talk to Xue Hua again.
They are indeed in urgent need of assistance from the insect swarm, and only the insect swarm with a large number and powerful fighting capacity can help them relieve their urgent need.
...
Just when Kejistan was in a state of panic over the issue of the True God Religion, the savior they were looking forward to, Xue Hua, had already arrived at the northern border of King's Port on a King Insect.
After traveling for nearly half a month, Xue Hua took the two girls to visit various large towns in the Western Continent.
After relaxing all the way, the three of them, who had adjusted to their best condition, finally arrived at the last transfer station on their way to the Haworth Islands.
At this moment, the entire King's Harbor has begun the final preparations for the Harvest Festival, and both the noble area and the port area have been decorated.
"Rings of fertility" made of roots and fish scales of various crops were hung outside all the shops near the street. The streets were also carefully tidied up and cleaned, even those in the port area.
The originally dirty and messy avenue and the fish market, which was full of fish smell, have been cleaned up.
Many abandoned trestles on the pier that were about to collapse were either demolished or rebuilt. The rusted iron chains, oilcloths stained with unknown blood, and scattered empty crates that had been piled everywhere in the past were also completely removed.
.
Those small shacks built haphazardly were forcibly demolished, and the homeless people living in them were temporarily relocated to a newly built simple wooden house on the north side of the pier.
The entire Port of Kings seems to have become completely new, and even the people walking on the streets have rare smiles on their faces.
The Harvest Festival is King's Port...no, it should be said to be one of the most important festivals of the year in various towns and kingdoms in southern Khanduras. It is a bit like the Spring Festival that took place more than 20 years ago in Xue Hua's previous life.
It is a day when people pray for good weather and a full harvest in the new year.
The specific origin of this festival is unknown, but people only know that on this day, all large and small towns in the southern Khanduras region will hold grand celebration ceremonies, and kings from various countries will open the royal warehouses and take out various delicacies.
A feast of delicious food was held for the whole country to entertain all the people who came to attend the festival to commend them for their contribution to the kingdom in the past period of time.
On the day when the festival begins, the king will also publicly address his subjects in the large square in front of the palace, announcing his vision for the future and his gratitude to the gods.
The entire festival will last for three days. During these three days, people can sing and drink to their heart's content. There will always be endless food and endless wine at the banquet.
By the time Xue Hua arrived, there were only two days left before the Harvest Festival was held in King's Port.
And beneath the seemingly cheerful and joyful atmosphere of this seaport kingdom, hidden undercurrents are surging to the edge of erupting...
The moment he walked into the temporary residence of Kane and the parliamentary envoys, several secretly confronting forces in King's Harbor received information. At the same time, they immediately responded to Xue Hua's arrival according to their respective response plans.
reaction.
The first one to respond was Wood VI. Xue Hua had just stepped into the gate of the envoy's residence, and Wood VI's envoy followed him in.
Moreover, the person who came to contact Xue Hua as an envoy was none other than an important minister of the kingdom who served as the military minister of King's Harbor and the next generation head of the Frank family: Marcy Frank.
"Hey! Mr. Masi, I am really flattered that you serve as the envoy to receive me!"
Xue Hua stood next to Kane, looking at the Minister of Military Affairs who was wearing exquisite noble clothes studded with gems and started looking around as soon as he entered the door, and said with a teasing smile.
"Ah! Hello, Mr. Xue Hua, what you said is wrong. For you, a hero who regained the second world and a benefactor who saved King's Port, it is my honor to welcome you on behalf of King's Port.
What's more, according to the rules of professionals, you are now my senior, so why should I feel aggrieved if I come to welcome you?"
People in sedan chairs carry people, and everyone can say nice things.
Although Massey usually appears as a serious and unsmiling soldier, he has also been in the political dyeing vat of King Port for so many years. Naturally, he also has the instinct of a politician to say something to someone.
Have some control over.
However, after hearing Maxi's compliment, Xue Hua couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
As the saying goes, "Everyone must ask for something according to courtesy." The Minister of Military Affairs lowered his stature so low that he might not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, and his intentions are not small!
Sure enough, seeing that Xue Hua didn't respond, Ma Xi immediately told Xue Hua his purpose of coming as if he was rushing for time.
