step by step

"This world is huge, and it's not just these things that are mysterious." Kong Zhu said lightly.When she said this, she suddenly thought of Lost Tong and Yuan Qing.Since even the descendants of legendary gods and real ancient gods can appear in this world, it is not surprising that there are other incredible things.

It's just that every time she thinks of this place, what makes her most puzzled is, what kind of catastrophe did she experience in ancient times, so that so many gods fell?At the end of ancient times, were all the gods really extinct?How powerful is the ability of the gods, even if they are no match, it is not difficult to save their lives, right?Even if only one god survives by chance, it is really not a good thing for the current continent.

This incident of the necromancer came too suddenly. If they connected a series of sudden events together, it would not be difficult to find a vague connection.The gods that may have survived at the end of the ancient times; the undead warlocks that were also handed down from the ancient times and belonged to one of the ancient survivors; the gods that appeared in the floating city-the lost pupil of the god of prophecy; the huge surviving magic circle; The land is full of exiles with a long history; a vague feeling of calling.A single incident makes people unable to think of any hidden meaning, but all the incidents are linked together. This timing is too coincidental, and people have to think of this unbelievable guess.

Gu Du didn't feel the subtle fluctuations of Kong Zhu's emotions, and subconsciously asked the question just now: "Then what should we do? These nasty necromancers are hiding in the dark, and we only have 15 soldiers here. Only 15 soldiers , In the heyday, if you want to face an army of more than 50 skeletons, you have no hope of winning. Not to mention the current situation where you are almost crippled."

"Their behavior seems to be a bit abnormal today." Yan Feng said: "After we entered the city, we heard some soldiers say that the enemy attacked the city very regularly, and that they would only attack for an hour at most before retreating. Since both of us are deadlocked It has been many days, how could the enemy army suddenly send troops to attack the city without any warning today?"

When it comes to this matter, Gu Du is also puzzled: "Yeah, I don't know what the other party is thinking. When the battle started today, not only me, but all our soldiers thought it was nothing It was another attrition war waged by the enemy army, and they will retreat after this hour. Nothing abnormal happened during this hour, but when an hour passed, their army had already withdrawn by nearly half, they Suddenly it came back."

He regretted and said: "It's because I didn't think carefully and didn't consider this situation in advance. Our soldiers didn't react at all. After fighting for an hour, the walls were full of long-tired troops. Almost immediately the whole line In the rout, within a short quarter of an hour, at least thousands of soldiers died in battle. Fortunately, the soldiers who changed defense arrived in time to barely hold the line of defense."

Shi Sang said thoughtfully: "We also saw it when we went up to the city wall. The situation at that time was indeed urgent. But after all, they are skeletons without life and pain, and their number is twice as large as ours. If everything continues to attack, it will be very easy for Floating Light City to be destroyed. Now we haven't figured out what the purpose of those rats is, so we can't figure out why they suddenly stopped attacking."

She paused, her eyes gradually turned to Kong Zhu, her expression was a little dignified and unnatural, and she said hesitantly: "I always feel that it may have something to do with that incident." The sudden abnormal behavior of those skeletons, she felt that it was completely Because they knew that the Lost Pupil had been taken away.That's why they suddenly launched an attack to break through the Floating Light City and take that thing back.

Although she doesn't know why there are other people in this world who know the formation besides the divination line, but she has now realized that the formation that imprisoned the Lost Pupil is probably not only to prevent others from taking it. , It also has the effect of warning.

Kong Zhu didn't answer directly, nor did he intend to explain the confusion for Su Gewen and the others.The peripheral vision from the corner of her eyes swept over Xingkong's frowning brows without leaving a trace, she just said calmly: "Don't think too much. Before we know the truth of the matter, all our guesses are just guesses."

Shi Sang nodded slightly, looking at the table in front of him in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Kong Zhu looked around at all the people present, and said: "The enemy army hastily retreated this time, presumably they will not attack again in a short time. General Gudu, I will ask General Yan Feng to help you. If the enemy's offensive is still the same as before If you are making a small fuss, then you must lead your soldiers to survive for half a month. This matter is very important. We have sent people to sneak out from the west gate, pass through the Western Regions, and return to the clan to ask for help. They brought my token, It will not be stopped by the troops of the other twelve cities, and in about half a month at most, all the powerful members of our prophet family will be able to arrive here."

Yan Feng and Gu Du respectfully responded at the same time.

Kong Zhu glanced at the two guards of the law enforcement team, and said to the two of them who were waiting: "You two are the commanders of the army, and your own safety is very important. Facing these powerful necromancers, the guards beside you It’s not enough to watch. The two of them are the best in our clan, so I will let them stay by your side temporarily to protect your safety.”

The two members of the law enforcement team were stunned for a moment.They are all elites of the heart-reading lineage, and they are pure-blooded direct descendants, and they are also respected by the clansmen in the heart-reading lineage.It is a great honor for them to be ordered to protect the holders of the Order.But if they are to protect two ordinary people who are not as good as themselves, then, they are also fusion peak powerhouses after all.Although both of them are generals, the fierce aura of fighting on the battlefield will be troublesome, making them unable to use mind reading and control skills, but with their own huge energy, it will not be a problem to settle them. too difficult thing.But she, she let them protect them?

Kong Zhu's eyes glanced over coldly, and the two of them trembled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say anything more, and agreed in unison.Compared to their depression, Yan Feng and Gu Du were simply ecstatic.Everyone understands the principle of capturing the thief first, especially for the two generals who like to rush to the forefront of the battlefield, their own safety is the most troublesome thing.In many cases, in order to protect themselves, they have to suppress their nature and stay in a relatively safe rear to command the army.It's all right now. Is it still a problem to have a strong fusion peak as a guard?This, this is the treatment that even the emperor has not enjoyed, right?

Kong Zhu ignored them, and his eyes fell directly on Su Gewen: "Gewen, you take my token to integrate the power of our family in Floating Light City. At the same time, I found that there are many other hidden worlds here. The power of the clan exists, you have to try your best to win them over. Now is an extraordinary period, we need any power, you have to forget all the grievances and grievances before. You are the best in the clan, I believe you can control Take care of your own emotions. Of course, if someone deliberately makes trouble, whether it is from their own family or foreign forces, if they think about something that they should not think about under their own status, Gowen, I give you the right to destroy it directly." She The voice was extremely cold, and Su Gewen was shocked when he heard it, feeling that he had never been sober and excited before: "Yes!"

Kong Zhu pointed to the two guards, and continued: "Hurry up, the two of them are temporarily at your disposal, and after your work is over, let them report to the two generals. Although your strength has already More than most people, but no one can guarantee that they will have any hidden means, it is better to be cautious. You have to be careful."

After talking so much, Kong Zhu's tone was a little tired: "Shi Sang and Xing Kong stay here, you can go and do your own things first."

Su Gewen took a deep look at Kong Zhu, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it again.Gu Du and the others were about to step out of the tent, when Kong Zhu suddenly remembered something and stopped them: "Wait a minute. General Gu Du, I remember that there are two young soldiers by your side, one named Qian Su and the other named Shu Hua. The two of them The people are very good, and there are certain forces behind them. I suggest that you better bring them with you. In addition, if the enemy is really desperate and wants to take down the city of floating light in one fell swoop, then you don't have to care about the emperor. Forbidden, directly lead people to retreat from the west city gate. As long as we safely enter the boundaries of the Western Regions, the grassland is so big, the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap in, the emperor will not have time to seal off the entire grassland to search for our traces."

Several people took orders, and this time they really retreated.Sora breathed a sigh of relief.From waking up in the morning to now, her spirit has been highly tense, and she has not imported any food, nor swallowed a sip of tea.With this slack, he immediately felt waves of weakness continuously attacking him.

"What about me, what can I do to help?" Xing Kong, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly.

"You?" Kong Zhu smiled slowly, her expression was a little strange, and an unknown light flashed in her light gray pupils.She curled the corner of her mouth slightly, as if Xingkong shouldn't have asked her such a question at all, this question was very funny and completely amused her.Lian Shisang also quietly sat up straight, slightly bending the corners of her lips.

Sora rubbed his chin, as if thinking about how to answer him.Xingkong looked at the two without saying a word.After a long time, Kong Zhu clapped his palms as if he suddenly realized something, and said to him with a smile: "Well, there are not many things you can help with, but I think there is one thing you can definitely help with."

She paused, and her smile was full of malice: "You help yourself to die, don't let me do it again, okay?"
