Chapter 85 The First Battle of the Imperial City

After more than ten days of "Food with Wind, Rain and Dew", another evening, the sky gradually darkened, and Yifei and his party finally came to the outside of Ironthorn City leisurely.

Looking at the huge city in the distance, Yifei was stunned. He never imagined that such a magnificent civil engineering building can be seen in this backward civilization world!
Looking from a distance, the city in the distance is like a giant tower, stacked layer by layer.

The whole shape is like a castle in a western fantasy blockbuster, the highest point soars into the sky, and then it is stacked layer by layer like a pagoda!
As for the bottommost floor, he could not see the end of it from a distance. One could imagine how huge the city in the distance was!
The round towers erected on the city walls looked from a distance, like the countless tentacles of the city, and the cold light that flashed from time to time clearly told him that they were not decorations!
"Liya, is this the Imperial Capital?" Looking at the giant city in the distance, Yifei asked the beauties beside him in surprise. This is really magnificent. I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed to build it!

At this moment, he heard a strange voice suddenly coming from the dark place in the distance.

"Ironthorn City was established in the fifth year of the sacred calendar. Its purpose is to defend against the demons from the abyss. The 36 holy magisters in the coalition army burned their souls in the form of sacrifices, and they were established here overnight. The nine-story corridor was opened, and the space passage of the demons was firmly surrounded!
In the time since then, the demon clan and the allied forces of various clans have fought here for nearly a hundred years, and countless bones have dyed the city wall red, so it is also called the blood city.
After the catastrophe, in the 17th year of the Redemption Calendar, Emperor Thorn established the Principality of Thorn at that time on the ruins that still existed... In order to commemorate the martyrs, it is still called Iron Thorn City..."

The voice slowly told the history of the distant city from far to near.

What, that huge city in the distance is just a part of Ironthorn City?Most of the buildings in Ironthorn City have long been in ruins due to wars and disasters.

And the place where I stand now was once part of Iron Thorn City!

After listening to the history of Iron Thorn City told by that strange voice, Yifei couldn't help being stunned!
If the huge city in the distance is just the remnant of Iron Thorn City, how big would the real Iron Thorn City be?
Thinking of this, Yifei didn't dare to imagine, and hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that there was a ruins more than ten meters away from him, and a figure slowly appeared!
As the figure approached slowly, Yifei found that it was a man who looked about 40 years old, wearing a black light armor, with a thin long sword hanging on his waist!

"Under Wilbur, it's an honor to meet Your Excellency Yifei!" The man came to Yifei, saluted politely, and then said with a smile.

Facing such a gentlemanly man in front of him, Yifei felt a creepy feeling in his heart, and took a step back involuntarily!
How did he recognize himself, since it was his first time in the capital?This is what Yifei thought in his heart!
"Canglong, the sword of the golden knight Canglong, you are the Canglong of the Malphite family." At this moment, Yifei heard the surprised voice of the beauty beside him.

A member of the Moffett family?What are they doing here?Hearing Liya's shout, Yifei thought with some doubts!
"Hehe, since I know Miss Liya, please allow me to introduce myself formally!" The strange man still had a smile on his face, and said softly.

"My lord, Wilbur, the head of the Blue Dragon Knights of the Malphite family, was ordered by the head of the family to borrow something from you today. Please forgive me if I disturb you!" The man smiled and said very politely. .

"Hehe, Your Excellency Wilbur, I'm afraid I have nothing here to lend you!" Hearing what Wilbur said, Yifei immediately understood what was going on!

Hehe, killer, the killer sent by the Malphite family!
"Your Excellency Yifei, you definitely have that thing, don't worry, we just borrowed it for a look, and we will definitely return it to you in a month!"

"Hehe, Your Excellency Wilbur, since this is the case, tell me, what does your patriarch want to borrow from me?" Hearing what the man in front of him said, Yifei said calmly.

At the same time, I thought in my heart, the bullshit will be returned in a month, and the head will be returned with a bird!But the aura of the man in front of him was so strong that he felt a little palpitation, and his head turned rapidly!
"Hehe, borrow that ring in Your Excellency's hand!" Hearing Yifei's question, the man revealed the purpose of this trip, which immediately surprised Yifei!

The ring in his hand is the family keepsake that he got at the beginning. Could it be that there is still a treasure in this thing?
"Your Excellency Wilbur, our patriarch also wants to borrow something from your family to appreciate it, how about our two families take a look?" Just when Yifei was wondering, he heard Liya's words next to him .

Although he didn't know what it meant, he believed that she would never harm him, so he hurriedly followed Liya's words!

"That's right, Sir Wilbur, I've always been interested in seeing what the ring in the hands of the noble patriarch looks like. Why don't you go back and tell your patriarch that our two clans can look at each other?"

"Since your Excellency said so, please forgive me for being rude!" At this time, after hearing what Yifei said, the smile on the man's face disappeared immediately, and his whole body was like a piece of ice, pulling out the long hair around his waist. Sword, wiping the surface of the sword with one hand!

"Your Excellency Yifei and Miss Liya, go on your journey with peace of mind. I will go to your cemetery and send you a bouquet of flowers on this day next year!"

"Wait a minute, Sir Wilbur, are you going to violate the law of nobility in the Malphite family? Don't tell me your family is not afraid of the sanction of the Empire Council of Elders?" At this moment, Liya suddenly shouted loudly, her eyes flickering.

"Hehe, Miss Liya, you don't have to waste your time, they don't have time to take care of you anymore!" The man smiled indifferently, approaching step by step.

Seeing this scene, Liya, who was standing beside Yifei, suddenly stood in front of Yifei, a long sword appeared in her hand, and the tip of the sword shone with silver-white light!

Silver Swordsman!

Seeing this scene, Yifei was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him turned out to be a silver swordsman along the way!
"Fei, you go first, I'll block him!" Liya whispered at this moment.

"Haha, Miss Liya, don't struggle anymore, do you think you can escape?" Wilbur laughed very proudly!

With his laughter, "Da da da..."

There was the sound of horseshoes around them, and from the darkness, a group of cavalry in black armor had surrounded the two of them, their faces were covered by their cold visors, and their sharp long swords were already in their hands!

On the other hand, Yifei found that a group of knights had rushed into the camp, fighting with the hundred-man team!

Seeing this scene, Yifei immediately knew that the Malphite family was already prepared and ready to kill them all!

As for why he borrowed the ring in his hand before, after Liya's explanation, he also understood that the ring in his hand represented the family's token, and if he gave this ring to the Malphite family, it would represent The wolf family is willing to submit to the Malphite family!
But looking at the scene in the camp not far away, he couldn't help but feel amused. It's just too whimsical for dozens of Silver Knights to destroy the hundred-man squad he carefully built.

You must know that in the [-]-man team he carefully built, except for the fifty security officers and the five doctors who are still silver-level, the rest are all gold-level combat strength!

It can be said that the [-]-man squad under his command is the strongest military force in his hands. (Afraid of death, he finally brought all the strongest combat forces under his command with him.)
But at this time, Liya, who didn't know the inside story, became paler after seeing this scene, but stood firmly in front of Yifei.

She tightly held the long sword in her hand, the silver light shining on the long sword became even more dazzling, and said softly in a firm tone.

"Fei, I'll block him. After a while, you run directly towards the capital. As long as you get close to the capital, he won't dare to intercept you again!"

Hearing Liya's words, Yifei was very moved!
But he didn't respond to her. Instead, he walked up to her from behind her, took off the long sword in his hand, and said with a light smile, "Woman, it's better to be gentle. This matter of beating and killing is still hand over to you." Let the men do it!"

Liya was taken aback for a moment, although she didn't know what Yifei said, but from his tone, she could tell that Yifei didn't seem to be worried at all.

How is this possible? She clearly told him that the man in front of her was a golden knight whose strength was not something that the two of them could compete with.

And he is just a bronze knight, even her strength is not as good as Wilbur's opponent!
"Fei, you..." Thinking of this, Li Ya said worriedly.

"Shh, don't worry, there is never a time when your man will fail!" Yifei smiled and stopped Liya's words, then turned around and looked at Wilbur who was not far away, and shouted with a big smile.

"Come on, let me see how capable you are, who is known as the Sword of the Blue Dragon?"

"Boy, go to hell and repent, Dragon Tooth Slash!" Hearing Yifei's words, Wilbur showed a ferocious smile, shouted, and rushed towards Yifei, the long sword in his hand was shining with golden light!
But at this moment, Yifei stood there without moving, as if he was stunned, completely different from the heroic expression just now!
"Fly~" Seeing this scene, Liya screamed, her eyes closed tightly, and two lines of tears flowed out slowly!
