Chapter 712 Bad News

A sudden battle.

It ended as suddenly as it had appeared.

A few minutes later.

Lindsay and Alice ended the battle and brought thirteen captured prisoners back to the camp.

But Kangding, who had just entertained the two of them warmly.

Sitting in the house at this moment, I can no longer remain calm as before.

——One who acts righteously.

The girl in front of me, Alice, is a righteous person, and a righteous person at the sixth stage!
Is the other party from the [City of Law]?
Do not!
Just now at the banquet, she asked herself how to get to the [City of Law].

So are they the righteous ones who have returned from the outside world?
What is the purpose of the other party?
Do you want to restore order, or become the king, or practice your own ideas and make this already complicated and chaotic world fall further into the abyss?

Kangding is just an awakened person guarding the border.

In reality, what he thought about most was the battles between city-states and what his future would be like.

He never thought about the subject of righteous people.

So much so that now that Alice was just standing in front of Kandin, these thoughts completely occupied his mind, leaving no room for him to think about what was happening right now.

"Mr. Condin, do you know these people?"

Lindsay interrupted the other person's thoughts.

He pointed at the captured Awakeners, especially the two leaders:
"These thirteen guys just came with malicious intent, preparing to attack the camp. The two leading them are fifth-stage awakeners."

"Since you are guarding the border and are well-informed, you should know what's going on, right?"

Lindsay's question finally woke up Condin's brain.

He moved his gaze in response to the voice and looked carefully at the two people in front of him.

A soldier was lying on the ground, in a deep coma and completely unconscious.

On the other side was a man who looked gentle and neat, but his pupils were out of focus at the moment.

"Uh, this guy looks familiar."

As he recalled the past, the memories from four or five years ago gradually emerged in Kangding's mind.

He suddenly recalled:
"Oh, I remember now!"

"He is Masha, a craftsman from Stan City, and also a fifth-stage awakener!"

"..."

"Masha? Artisan?"

Lindsay's eyes were curious.

The craftsmen he knew were all low-level awakeners.

Although he had heard that this profession was very powerful and even had its own main city in the world, this was the first time he had seen a strong person who had reached the level of an Upgrader.

Alice picked up on Lindsay's emotions.

The girl took the initiative to explain:

"After the fifth stage, craftsmen can create very powerful items, which also gives them the confidence to protect themselves or defeat the enemy."

"If they are given enough time to prepare."

"With the support of a large number of equipment and rare items, they are almost the strongest among the awakeners of the same stage."

Lindsay nodded, deeply touched by this.

After all, his current strength, in addition to the blessing of gaming skills, also comes more from a variety of equipment.

It is not surprising that the craftsman is very powerful to be able to do such a thing.

At the same time, Kandin approached the distracted craftsman:
"Martya, what's going on?"

"Stan City has always had a good relationship with us, and we also have an offensive and defensive alliance. Is there any reason for you to suddenly bring soldiers to our place?"

Kang Ding suddenly looked at the warrior:

"Oh, I remember this guy now! He is also a warrior like me, and it seems he came to West Ring Island a few years ago!"

The West Ring Island mentioned by Kangding refers to the Stone Pillar Islands that surround the Central Ring World.

Because the geographical location is on the west side.

People usually call this place Xihuan Island.

The depressed craftsman shook his head. He fixed his eyes, recognized Kandin in front of him, and then a miserable smile appeared on his lips:

"It's you, Kandin."

"I heard that there was a fifth-stage awakener guarding this place, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Masha remembered the man in front of her.

They had drunk together in the city, and he had also accepted forging commissions from Kandin.

But I didn't expect that the next time we met, it would become a life-and-death situation.

Kandin continued to ask:
"Martya, tell me, what happened?"

The craftsman shook his head slightly:

"What happened? Of course it happened in the Central World, something that happens every day."

It was just such a light answer.

But Kangding's expression became extremely serious:

"How is our city now?"

"No! If it was during the siege, you two Level 5 Awakeners would not have had time to leave. So - the fact that you are here means that the city has fallen, and you have been ordered to recapture these border areas!"

Ma Xia nodded:

"Yes, if I remember correctly, you guys ship supplies here once a month and exchange information with the city. The last time goods left here was three weeks ago..."

Before the craftsman finished speaking, Kandin shouted:

"This is impossible!"

"I didn't hear any signs of war at that time. Besides, how could we conquer a city so quickly? We also have a powerful city lord..."

Ma Xia responded:
"Because the Silver Witch was defeated!"

"She retreated to the border of the Central World and just happened to choose our West Ring Island as the place for her comeback!"

Kandin was even more confused:
"Then you shouldn't have attacked here!"

"It is natural to be loyal to a seventh-stage expert. If we knew about this, we would have no reason to resist!"

The craftsman suddenly shook his head, his tone even showing some pity:

"Kang Ding, unfortunately, your side is the main battlefield."

"..."

Kandin fell silent.

The Silver Witch is a seventh-stage warrior and a well-known lord in the current [Dust World].

The other side was defeated and retreated to the border.

On the one hand, you need to establish prestige, but on the other hand, you may also want to vent your anger.

Then the city that is the main battlefield...

In short, the situation is bad.

Kandin and his companions were all from that city, and their relatives, friends, and family also lived there.

Fight? Take the city? Massacre?

Family ruined?

Kandin thought of some words.

Border islands controlled by other cities may be taken over peacefully.

But those who have been caught in the chain of hatred have to face cleansing and processing.

"..."

Kang Ding's body went limp and he took a few steps back weakly.

He couldn't believe the reality.

A few minutes ago, he was happily having a banquet with two powerful men.

But just a few minutes later, the other party revealed his identity as a sixth-stage righteous person. What's more terrible is that the old friend who came to Sky Island brought him the result of the massacre in his hometown.

Kandin tried to control his trembling voice:
"Tell me an answer. How is my home now?"

The craftsman just gave a suggestion:
"If I were you, I would leave the border right now and find a place to live in the outside world."
