The Sixth Princess leaned against the window railing alone, facing the bouquet. She was slender, with long waterfall-like hair draped over her vest, held gently with a pink ribbon. She was dressed in white, and the flowers reflected the brilliance even more. Her skin was beautiful.
Snow's eyes are like a pool of clear water. When looking at it, it has an elegant and noble temperament that makes people feel ashamed.
After two years of separation, she has become more graceful and graceful, becoming more and more charming. She has a unique noble temperament of the royal family that no one dares to blaspheme. She also has a cool and dignified appearance that makes people take pictures of her.
"Your Highness, are you still asleep?" A gentle knock on the door broke the picture-scroll-like tranquility.
The sixth princess came back to her senses and lightly opened her red lips: "Is it Aunt Qing? Come in."
A heroic girl in red armor pushed open the door and walked in. She was brave and heroic, but her eyes were cold and cold, with a chilling feeling: "What is troubling your highness?"
"Have there been any special events in Fengdu Town recently?"
"The news has just been compiled, and there are indeed a few things worth noting. One is that it is said that six powerful people at the Zun level have entered and left Fengdu Town, but after our investigation, no sign of their existence was found, and they may have left.
The second is that the Shapu mercenary group appeared in the northern Huangsha District early yesterday morning and has been stocking up since then. However, there may have been a fierce fighting at noon yesterday, and there was no movement after that. I have sent people to investigate.
The third is that the mother-in-law of Jinyan Tower has been missing for two days. She disappeared mysteriously, leaving no clues and never came back. The students of Jinyan Tower were worried that it was a targeted assassination, so they all evacuated before evening.
, Jinyan Tower has sent two venerables to Fengdu Town. They will be responsible for investigating the disappearance of the mother-in-law of life and death. The mother-in-law of life and death is the third person in Jinyan Tower. If there is an accident, it will be a disaster for Jinyan Tower.
A heavy blow.
In addition, 40% of the mercenaries in Fengdu Town have been withdrawn, and some people are preparing to evacuate in the next two days. They are afraid of the bad reputation of the Sand Waterfall Mercenary Group, and are also worried that there will be a vengeful-level attack in Fengdu Town.
Fighting, worried about being affected."
"Where's the news about Prince Jing's Mansion and the Demon Holy Land?"
"So far we can only roughly deduce the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, but it's not very clear. Prince Jing's Mansion's tracking troops all disappeared unexpectedly four days ago and have not been found since. This is very suspicious and needs to be treated with caution."
"They may choose to take action outside Fengdu Town. This time... the chances are bad..." The Sixth Princess didn't say much, just doing things with bare hands, and a trace of exhaustion could not be concealed in her brows.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Prince Jing's Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land are well prepared, and we also have complete measures. At present, most eyes within the empire have focused on the wind-eroded hills. Even the royal family has sent special personnel to pay attention. Unless Prince Jing's Mansion wants to openly confront the royal family, otherwise they will
There is a 50% chance that you won't dare to make a move.
Although the Tutor is no longer here, the prestige of our special operations team will not be lost. Even if I am willing to blow myself up, I will protect His Highness and return to Prince En’s Mansion safely.”
The red-armored girl who was called Aunt Qing was one of the deputy leaders of the royal family's special operations team, and was also Yan Yuhan's right-hand man. Although Yan Yuhan had been missing for two years, the special operations team had been following the original track.
duty. Now it is one of their tasks to protect the Sixth Princess and attack Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Thank you, Aunt Qing. Let's follow our original plan. Let me mediate first, and don't use force unless necessary." The fatigue between the Sixth Princess' brows flashed away, and she regained her cold dignity and strategizing wisdom.
"Your Highness, have a good rest. It has been a long time since I had a good night's sleep." Aunt Qing resigned and left, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped: "We got a very secret message through the secret line of the Killer Guild, but
I’m not too sure, it’s about Tang Yan.”
"Who?" The sixth princess was slightly stunned.
"Prince Jing's Mansion and the Heavenly Demon Holy Land issued a pursuit order a year and a half ago, and Tang Yan was wanted across the country. However, because Tang Yan was dragged into the Eternal Beast Mountain, there is no definite news that he is still alive and has left the Beast Mountain. So this
The wanted order incident has always been calm, and no one has found any trace of him.
But four days ago... someone suddenly issued a new summons to the Killer Guild, calling all killers who accepted the task of chasing Tang Yan to assemble in Fengdu Town."
"Gathering in Fengdu Town? You mean...he..." The Sixth Princess slowly turned around and looked at Aunt Qing absentmindedly.
"No one is sure, but there is a high probability." A glimmer of light flashed in Aunt Qing's eyes: "Tang Yan...is back...in Fengdu Town..."
The Sixth Princess stayed in Fengdu Town for five days. In the name of the spokesperson of Prince En's Palace, she visited various villages gathered here and led her tribe to explore the Huangsha District and outline the outline of the territory.
The turnover of people in Fengdu Town is very frequent. In addition to the shopkeepers who open shops with their heads high, there are also mercenaries who lick blood from the edge of their swords. Apart from admiring the temperament and appearance of the Sixth Princess, they have no sense of welcome in the conventional sense.
The guard troops are very aware of the environment here, and are on high alert from beginning to end, with their patrolling eyes getting colder and harsher.
The entire inspection was immersed in a weird atmosphere.
Five days is a matter of whether it is fast or slow.
The inspection team left Fengdu Town as scheduled and headed down to the seventh ancient city.
Fengdu Town is just a transit station, because the overall environment of the wind-eroded hills is harsh. It will take four days to get to the next ancient city. During this period, you will pass through hells with different environments. Some places are as desolate as the Gobi, and some are yellow.
The sky is filled with sand, in some places it is lush with leaves, and in some places it is covered with hills and mountains.
The entire wind-eroded hilly area is simply a mixture of various landforms.
On the second day after leaving Fengdu Town, the team moved to the intersection of the Gobi area and the mountain area. The geographical environment here is relatively moderate, and at least green vegetation can be seen.
but……
Although the hills here are few and far between, they are all tall and tall, like mountains rising from the ground.
For anyone with experience in marching, this is an excellent ambush location.
This area is also one of several possible 'ambushed' locations estimated by the escort team in advance, so before officially entering this area, the team began to be on high alert. Auntie Qing, the second-level martial master, personally guarded the Sixth Princess and never left her side.
The two warriors were on guard one behind the other, and the black-armored guards were arranged in a special formation that could be used to attack or defend, just like an iron barrel battle formation.
"Princess, be prepared. If nothing unexpected happens, they are nearby." Aunt Qing stared at the several lonely mountains within her sight, and tightened her grip on the treasure in her hand - the Jingchen Blade.
The two guardian lords who were traveling with them also had a premonition, and they clenched their fists and raised their hands to signal. The team gradually slowed down, and the monster beast they were riding sneezed uneasily and moved restlessly.
Looking into the distance, it is lush and bright; looking behind, it is dry and desolate.
The two extreme environments inherently give people uncomfortable visual changes.
The atmosphere at this moment was even more solemn, like the calm before a rainstorm.
Ouch! A high-pitched howl of wolves suddenly sounded in the Gobi area behind, and the sound of tiny footsteps became denser and clearer.
"It's a pack of wolves!" Someone warned, and following the sound, at the end of the Gobi area, there was a narrow and twisted black thread that was rapidly enlarging. It was the unique species of monster beasts in the wind-eroded hills - Shamu Tulang.
A gregarious monster that can control sand and dust. It is ferocious and extremely aggressive.
Generally, the number of ethnic groups is in the hundreds, and the highest number can be nearly a thousand, but now... a rough estimate shows that the appropriate number is as high as three thousand, or even more!
Swish swish!
Even weirder sounds echoed in the air. Looking at the lush green hilly area in the distance, there were dazzling and gorgeous streams of light flashing, approaching quickly like sharp arrows.
One of the four major groups of monsters in the wind-eroded hilly area - the Golden Rat!
The number was equally huge, exceeding two thousand. They were like a wave of golden arrows pressing hard towards them, and a dangerous aura filled the sky.
"Why are there a herd of beasts here?" Some black-armored warriors were surprised.
"Do they want to use the beasts as scapegoats? Clumsy means!" Aunt Qing's eyes turned cold, and she clenched the Jingchen Blade tightly, making a crisp crunching sound.
The solemn atmosphere reached its peak at this moment. More than five thousand beasts gathered, and their number was already equal to that of the black-armored guard troops. What made them fearful was that the beasts contained the aura of the demon king.
There are only four or five demon kings in the entire wind-eroded hills, but now there are two of them. If it is a coincidence, I am afraid no one will believe it.
This is a premeditated plan to use the beast tide as a scapegoat to cover up the real attack. In other words... the attack that remains on alert is about to begin!
The waves of desert soil moved very fast, pressing towards the Sixth Princess's team, killing them fiercely; the golden rat moved even faster, bringing a sharp and dangerous aura.
But they obviously didn't expect to meet here. They could smell the presence of the beasts even though they were several kilometers apart. As the original herd, they must have had many fights. At this moment, they quickly stopped and faced each other across a long distance.
"Masters from Prince Jing's Mansion and Heavenly Demon Holy Land, please come out. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The Sixth Princess nodded slightly to Aunt Qing, stepped into the air, and her cold voice echoed through the mountains.
The chaotic terrain environment is calm and calm, but there is an aura of danger flowing around.
Aunt Qing said coldly: "Since you want to fight, just stand up and we will all fight. If you don't dare, get out of here immediately, as far away as you can, and don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
"I have a few words to talk to you, your venerable lords. Can you show up to see me?" The sixth princess's piercing gaze swept across the surrounding mountains, focusing on those high mountains.
