Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 157 One Month
It has been more than a month since the drastic change in the abyss passage of Hongsenling.

But anyone who thinks back to the turmoil that happened in the Shenguang Empire this month will sigh with embarrassment.

Before that, who could have imagined that a change in a small viscounty would eventually turn into a major event affecting the entire empire.

The exploratory team composed of dozens of people was very powerful, but only a dozen people survived after the disaster of the collapse of the abyss passageway.

Almost all of the executor team of the Illuminati Church that was sent to the Red Forest to solve the Abyss Pass incident were killed. Even the leader of the exploration team, one of the two team captains died, and the other was seriously injured.

Among the two viscount candidates, Baron Li Yong Conrad disappeared in an accident, and only Claire Conrad survived.

The expedition's failure was just the beginning.

After the abyss passage collapsed, more than half of the demons died, but the remaining demons were all cunning and powerful.

Losing the blessing of the passage to the abyss, the unaccustomed demons in the material plane launched a frenzied attack on the humans in the Red Forest Territory in order to ensure their own survival.

Whether it is the number of thousands of demon soldiers or silver demon generals, they far exceed the "medium-sized" judgment of the Hongsen Lingling Abyss Passage by the Sage Association.

And this is the result of the collapse of the abyss pathway and the death of more than half of the demons.

The prestige and reputation of both the Sage Society and the Illuminati Church have suffered a major blow after the "Red Forest Rebellion".

The wise man's misjudgment of the situation was attributed to the first cause. This time, the misjudgment almost discredited the originally detached wise man.

A "close to large" abyss passageway was defined as "ordinary medium-sized" by the Sage Council, which resulted in the direct death of tens of thousands of people in the Red Forest.

Such consequences even caused one of the "36 sages" to take the blame and resign.Not only was he completely far away from the power center of the empire, he was also dispatched to the most dangerous northern front, where he made atonement through direct dialogue with the abyssal demons.

You must know that any magician who can be elected as the "36 sages" is a gold powerhouse.

In the eyes of the people of the empire, none of the supreme gold powerhouses escaped the trial, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

The Wise Society has paid a heavy price, and the Church of Light, which always confronts the Wise Society, has not been able to reap the benefits.

Regardless of detecting demons or resolving incidents related to the abyss, the Church of Light has always been the first to bear the brunt.

The reason why they were able to gain the faith of countless people in the Shenguang Empire was that they took the lead in resisting and resolving related incidents.

Most of the fault for this defeat lies with the Council of Wise Men, but the first reaction of both civilians and nobles is to blame the Church.

Now that you enjoy the rights and interests, it is only natural to assume responsibilities and risks.

When wives and children are separated and homes are destroyed, people will not think that "sages will harm us", and some commoners even don't know the responsibilities of sages.

Their first reaction was, of course, "The church usually plays so well, what the hell is going on now!?"

The Illuminati Church knows that rather than justifying, solving problems is the most effective way to strengthen faith.

The Judgment Knights directly under the Pope excluded ten Judgment Knights (Silver Combat Strength), and the Tribunal was headed by a Grand Inquisitor (Gold Combat Power), supplemented by several Judges, and a dozen teams of executors. Form a "cleaning brigade" and enter the Hongsen collar together to resolve the "Hongsen collar rebellion" this time.

Three days after Claire Conrad and other returnees from the exploration team reported the emergency, the Church of Light issued a joint clean-up statement, and three days later, the army arrived in Hongsen Territory.

Strive to wipe out the rampant abyssal demons with a thunderous force.

Sitting on a gold fighter and more than twenty silver fighters, they have such confidence.

And so is it.

In just two weeks, most of the demons that were raging in Hongsen Territory were wiped out.

Although the cleaning brigade also paid a heavy price in the process, in order to regain the hearts of the people as quickly as possible, such a price must be paid in the eyes of the church's top leaders.

However, the most dramatic thing happened.

On the 15th day when the cleaning team invaded Hongsen, the leader of the cleaning team, the Grand Trial Hertera, was assassinated by a gold rank demon and died on the spot.

As the leader of the cleaning team, Hertra has been fighting at the forefront almost without sleep for fifteen days.

Whether it is to organize battles, rescue, or set foot on the battlefield to fight against demons, he is indispensable.

Even a strong gold man with a golden body will feel tired to some extent after going through such fifteen days.

What's more... No one has ever thought of guarding against gold-level demons.

The stronger the strength, the higher the requirements for space channels if they want to travel between the two worlds.

As we all know, it is impossible for a gold-ranked abyssal demon to come to the material plane through a medium-sized abyss passage.

Not "nearly impossible", but "impossible", without a shred of a chance.

Even though it is "extremely close to a large abyss passage", its scale is still within the category of a "medium abyss passage".

In other words, this magic commander who has reached the gold rank must have broken through the bottleneck between the magic general and the magic commander in the cover plane.

This possibility is already very small.

What's more, even if they set foot on the gold rank, most of the gold powerhouses are like the blazing sun, unable to hide their aura.

Only a "gold-level assassin" who is very good at hiding himself can do this.

On the basis of "you must break through the gold in the cover plane", you must also be "an assassin who is very good at hiding yourself", and you must be able to hide yourself for a long time. There are too many gaps, and a sure-kill blow is issued.

Coincidentally, Dagua, a genius of the Levi's tribe who possesses the three major abilities of "breath blocking", "melting into the void", and "transformation", is the candidate who possesses these three elements at the same time.

A judge who witnessed the killing blow claimed that the Levis demon was still at the silver rank when he launched the assassination.

The other party used the pressure of assassinating the gold powerhouse to complete the impromptu breakthrough.

After paying the price of being severely injured by Hertera, Dagua finally broke through the gold, and took away Hertera's body, and escaped in front of everyone.

As we all know, the strong gold is itself a "treasure of heaven and earth".

Breaking through gold by itself, the resistance to the material plane has increased significantly, and in addition to obtaining the highest-level resources, survival is no longer a worry.

It is foreseeable that as the injury recovers and after absorbing Hertra's body, Da Cuba's strength may rise to another level.

This hidden gold-level demon has become an extremely uncomfortable thorn in the hearts of the upper echelons of the Shenguang Empire.

In order to prevent Dagua from raging again in the Red Forest Territory, and at the same time to sit in the Red Forest Territory and assist the cleaning team in the cleaning task, the high-level empire had to temporarily transfer the general Kaios who was guarding the southern fortress to the Black Horse Town Guard in the Red Forest Territory. , punish this Levis demon at any time.

However, it seemed that Kaios' departure had been expected.

Just three days after Kaios left the southern fortress, the monsters in the Warcraft Mountains immediately launched a sneak attack.

The fortress without a strong gold man was destroyed in an instant like a piece of paper under the attack of the monsters, and the battle line was defeated until the border of the Hongsen Territory.

They seemed to know that Kaios was staying in Hongsen's collar, and they didn't go too far.

However, none of the defense lines and several baronies along the way were spared.

They were able to find such a godsend opportunity and stop the offensive properly before the Hongsen leader. There is no doubt that there is an inner ghost of the Warcraft side in the empire.

But compared to finding the inner ghost, stabilizing the new empire's borders, and regaining lost ground, it is the headache of the empire's top management at this time.

Kaios is almost at the limit just sticking to it. If he wants to regain the lost ground, he must send more armed forces.

With Hongsenling as the core, internal and external troubles broke out at the same time.

All this seems to be the epitome of the status quo of the empire.

The Shenguang Empire, which has been stable for decades since the Battle of the Red River, seems to be in turmoil again for a while...

During this process, no one cared about the contention between Hongsen collar, who was clearly the core of the storm, and his next viscount.

The body of Reinhardt Conrad was discovered a few days before the sweeping team. With Li Yong Conrad missing and Nora Conrad having no intention of being a knight, Claire Conrad did not have any accidents to become the next Viscount.

The change of a viscount did not even stir up a wave in the empire.

In addition to the turmoil of demons and monsters, there is another reason-the Dragon King Festival is approaching.

As if deliberately ignoring the restless intentions of the people, or to use the Dragon King Festival to attract the people's attention and make them temporarily ignore the uneasy elements of the empire, Sephirod Letania attaches great importance to this Dragon King Festival. In the past, there was more fanfare.

……

In the core upper realm, in the center of the imperial capital St. Lawrence City, the palace Singold, named after the founding emperor, stood like a towering giant for thousands of years.

There is a Jingling Palace in the Singold Palace, which is located in the west of the palace, next to the Heroes Gallery, which displays portraits of countless heroes and their epic scrolls since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This is a palace with a stepped structure. It is neither the residence of the royal family nor the harem of the emperor's concubines, but a treasured place for cultivation.

The Jingling Palace is not only for the royal family, it can be used by people living in the palace and even visiting guests of the upper class nobles of the empire.

Jingling Palace is divided into four floors according to the user's rank. From bottom to top, the number of training rooms is getting rarer and more luxurious.

Serving for Bronze level and below, Silver level, Gold level and Emperor respectively.

Starting from the second floor, each training room will have several service personnel such as maids, guards, chefs, etc.Users can freely dispatch

On the third floor, the training room has a special spatial structure. The size of each training room can be adjusted at will, and the maximum can be bigger than a football field, just like a huge built-in manor.It will serve specific people, and it will be specially designed according to the preferences of the target, just to meet the user's cultivation needs as much as possible.

The reason why the third layer is so special is that the most important purpose is to isolate the natural aura of the strong gold man.Otherwise, the auras of these strong men would counteract each other, and it would be impossible to practice.

It is rumored that Count Rudolph, who was called the right hand of the emperor in the past, opened an open-air swimming pool in his training room.When I am in the future, I will also need a waiter to change the water and clean it every day. If he comes in person, there will be more than a dozen beauties of different ages accompanying him...

Of course, apart from these additional needs, the most important function of the Jingling Palace lies in cultivation.

In each training room, there must be a special training space, which is filled with the training energy that practitioners at each stage urgently need.

Different from ordinary cultivation resources, this kind of cultivation energy has been purified and refined in advance, and as long as the user does not leave, it will be continuously provided.

The reason why such a practice treasure was built outside the Hero Gallery is self-evident that its role in stimulating cultivation is self-evident.

"I heard that His Majesty the Emperor Yanwu of the Dragon King Ceremony is going to make a big one. Not only will he entertain the Pope of the church, but all the grand dukes will come to visit!"

"How would you know?"

"How do I know? The news has spread all over the world! You don't know it yet!"

The Dragon King Sacrifice was approaching, and even the guards in front of the Jingling Palace were talking about it.

Suddenly, the two people standing at the front tightened their necks, stopped discussing, and saluted and said hello to the front.

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

As for the greetings from the guards, Kailars smiled and accepted them with pleasure, while expressing condolences: "Thank you for your hard work."

Under the admiring eyes of the guards, he entered the Jingling Palace.

Seeing Kailars disappear, they finally resumed their discussion.

"As expected of His Royal Highness Kailars, it is obvious that the Dragon King Sacrifice will be held soon, and he is still practicing so hard."

"Hey~ If you don't work hard like this all the time, how could His Royal Highness be ranked gold at such a young age? No pain, no gain, that's what he said!"

"His Royal Highness Kailars is not only hardworking, but also easy-going. He is very gentle, strong and kind even to us gatekeepers. He is a perfect leader! If there is no accident, His Highness Kailars should be His Majesty. One emperor, right? However, His Majesty the Emperor is also at the gold level, and he will be in his prime for a long time, so even if he wants to abdicate to His Highness, it may be a hundred years at the earliest, right?"

"Hey...that's not something we can talk about."

"Ah, sorry sorry. Where were we talking?"

Just when the guards finished their discussion, Kailars had already stepped into his own training room on the third floor.

Obviously it can be adjusted to the size of a football field, but Kailars' training room is only fifteen square meters at best, which is extremely simple and narrow.

In addition, there are no guards.Apparently all were driven away by Kailars.

The gentle and kind Kailars entered the closed training room from the guard's mouth, evoking a malicious smile.

Her green eyes, which were originally like green grandmothers, were now pitch black.

The platinum-blonde long hair fluttered, and the thick and almost substantive black vindictiveness adhered to it, flowing and rising.

In the outside world, it is well known that this eldest prince has a strong talent for the light element.
