  Chapter 686 Gale is about to rise (w word big chapter)

  Constructed knights, also known as "Mobile Fortresses for Continuous Combat", are high-level combat units specialized by Flameland based on armor technology.

Just like the title knights of the First Legion of the Setar Empire and the Ten Great Knights, Constructed Knights are also the most famous armed forces in the Flying Flame Kingdoms, and there are very few elite troops that can be compared with them. The Iron Cavalry' and Yanjiang's 'Ominous Legion' are one of the few troops that can compare with them in terms of record, while the 'Cheng Guangwei' of Ganterigum and the 'Dream Warlock' of Far Shore Island are Too mysterious, so the reputation is not obvious.

In addition, each country also has its own elite armed forces, but except for those big countries with strong national strength, such as Whale Song Cliff, which needs the support of all countries to fight against sea beasts and sea monsters, most of the time it can only guarantee The training of officers and reserve personnel will not be temporarily catalyzed until the time of war. The 'Wave Patrol Swordsman' is such an elite unit of sublimators.

A team of Constructed Knights has three cavalry, but in terms of force, even a steel pterosaur hunting team led by a big dragon cannot compare with it. The complex counterbalances.

   This is a force capable of breaking the balance of power in Nanling. Moreover, transporting constructed knights to other countries is definitely a major event, and it is impossible for the empire to remain unresponsive.

   "Nauman City must be told about this! If this doesn't call the Knights over to fight, is it really up to me to fight?"

Ian made up his mind, and he continued to look through the diary in his hand, looking for more information, but found that the chief Jiamu didn't write too much such sensitive content, only "I don't know at all that they are now constructing the knight." Where did you hide it' This kind of complaining.

   It has to be said that the existence of Constructed Knights has indeed affected Ian's strategic thinking.

He stole Kamube's hometown in a relaxed and happy manner, and was planning to go home to study the element crystal production line. By the way, he smiled and watched the Independent Mountain People's Alliance (specifically Kamube) anxious, but now he realizes that there may be no problem. So easy and simple.

   "The problem of the mountain people must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, if they are attacked by two sides, things will be bad."

  Ian put down the diary in his hand, turned his head to look at the main hall, his eyes were stern: "Quicken up the pace, and create chaos in Jiamu Department now."

   "If it's possible... we have to make things bigger—we have to bring Chief Jiamu here."

   It is still within Ian's ability to deal with the Mountain People's Alliance. Even if Ian can win, there is no need to win in the face of the strongest military force in Feiyandi.

   Consuming so much energy and exposing the hole cards, winning is also an invalid victory.

   "After blowing up the hall, go to the steel dragon's nest to get some big news."

   A decision is made, and Ian immediately starts to act.

Speaking of this, he still has to thank Priest Feiotuo for the information provided. The old man was kicked out of the joint meeting after he came to Jiamu Department for a meeting last time. Only when Jiamube's temple exploded would he pay attention to those details.

   "Rocky platform southeast..."

   Soon, Ian found the location that Priest Feotto said. There were indeed many cracks in the pillars of the main hall on the side of the stone platform, but it was probably not close to being in danger.

   But it's okay, he put it on the line right away.

at the same time.

Nuo'an, the priest of the Jiamu Department, was very busy. The explosion in the alchemy workshop area was determined to be the work of a second energy level sublimator of the water system, and his strength was quite strong, at least at a high level. It was definitely not something they could handle. opponent.

  Even if the army is called, it may not be able to keep the opponent, and it will cause a large number of casualties to one's own side.

After expelling the irrelevant personnel in the alchemy area and calling on the troops to protect the alchemy workshop, the young priest finally breathed a sigh of relief—only when he was surrounded by troops and artillery, did he feel somewhat safe .

   "What happened?"

   At this moment, he finally had the time to be angry: "Why did those steel pterosaurs fly away suddenly? Could it be that they sensed that the attackers were too strong and didn't want to give their lives to us? I said that this group of beast thugs are unreliable!"

   "Moreover, the alchemy workshop was destroyed like this...Dragon God bless, I hope the chief will not cramp me when he comes back..."

Nuo'an is very clear that the elemental crystallization condenser in the alchemy workshop was brought by his chief and other tribes to blackmail Fei Yandi. It is said that a lot of confidential information and cards were involved. It is incredible enough to blackmail once, and it can be said the second time. impossible.

  My own life was incomparable in front of that instrument, but now that it was lost, he couldn't get it back, so he could only try to find a way to push the blame on those steel pterosaurs.

   While he was thinking about how to make the steel pterosaur bear more blame and make others believe it.

   Above the sky, there was a sudden thunder.

  Boom!

  A long and narrow blue light fell straight from the top of the sky, bombarding the platform on the right side of the hall.

The priest was stunned, and the thunder made a straight line in his brown pupils, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that the entire platform began to tremble violently, that his complexion changed drastically, and he let out a sharp cry from his throat: "Holy Temple! !"

  The temple is falling apart.

The entire Jiamu Mountain is rumbling—yes, the rocky mountain is unbelievably stable, the mountain people are good at earth-based skills, and the strength they have reinforced their temples from generation to generation even constitutes a natural inscription formation. This allowed their temple to coexist with the mountain, the strongest shelter.

   But who is not an earth element sublimator? Ian has long seen through the core of the complex inscription array in Jiamu Mountain, and peeped out its flaws, if the inheritor of Fudojian City really intends to destroy it.

   Well, even the mountains tremble.

  Boom! On the southeast side of Jiamu Mountain, a rock platform is collapsing, and a pillar supporting the main hall is also collapsing. There are dense cracks on the flat mountain road rebuilt by Jiamu Department in recent years and the square in front of the temple on the mountainside. The rock stratum also made a crackling sound due to the collapse and explosion of the inner strength, just like a biscuit bitten by a noble lady during tea time in the afternoon.

  哗啦——The outer layer of the Jiamu Sacrificial Hall collapsed. It collapsed to the right, and a large number of rocks and building fragments rolled down the mountain. Accompanied by the previous shower, it seemed like a small mudslide.

  Priest Jiamu’s desperate cry seemed to be the person buried under the mud and rocks, but in fact the difference was not that big. Anyway, the hall was so collapsed that no excuses would work.

   Just wait for the chief to come back, and he's dead.

  Ian didn't hear this desperate scream, because he had already left Jiamubu and went to the Steel Dragon's Lair not far away.

Steel Dragon's Nest is located in the Sol Mountains in the northwest of Jiamubu. Among the rolling mountains, there is a row of towering peaks that go straight into the sky. They form a circle and form a basin in the center. From a distance, it looks like a super giant volcanic vent. , like a nest.

  That is the core holy place of the mountain people, the lair of the steel dragon **** "Steel Dragon Nest" in the past.

  Looking at the Steel Dragon's Nest from a distance, even Ian felt emotional about it. The basin lair made up of mountains is indeed breathtaking and majestic, and the real Steel Dragon's Nest is located in a huge underground cavity.

  After all, dragons don’t need to rest. The reason why dragons sleep is only because the steel dragon fought too much in the past, so it often uses secret methods to sleep and heal itself.

  From the outside, the surrounding high mountains are considered normal, but if you look out from the inside of the dragon's nest, the inside of all the mountains are soaked in the power of the real dragon and gradually become metalized.

   This is the origin of the name Steel Dragon Nest.

   Now it is getting dark, the sky is gloomy, thick clouds are covered, and intertwined purple-red clouds are flickering on the edge of the sky.

  Ian stood at the edge of the steel dragon's nest at the foot of the mountain. He looked up at the mountain top covered by clouds, then closed his eyes and felt.

Unlike Qiangang Sacred Mountain and Xiahui Lake, there are no fragments left by the "Skyfall Spaceship" in the steel dragon's lair—essentially, this is the main place where Xiganglong rests and heals, and it may also be the opponent's laboratory or Places like the healing room, all in all, it will not bring Ian some clues about the truth about the civilization of the pre-epoch and the prison star heaven.

   But that doesn't mean it doesn't contain secrets.

  Its existence itself may represent the biggest secret of the steel dragon Solstner...the truth behind the real dragon.

Ian can vaguely feel that the ring-shaped special structure of the steel dragon nest was deliberately shaped by the steel dragon Solstner in the past. It itself forms a super-giant spiritual energy field, and contains many An array of compound inscriptions known as 'mylocks'.

  The authority of this fan lock and the silver chip are not a system, but a technology related to the real dragon, but for Ian, it still belongs to the category that can be cracked.

  After all, no matter what he said, his body did contain dragon blood.

  Ian could sense that the blood in his body was vibrating, whether it was the ether crystal or the core of the ancient dragon.

   "Ether Crystal?"

  Ian couldn't help being a little surprised when he noticed waves of heat gradually coming from his left arm. The core of the ancient dragon was nothing more than that. Why would the ether crystal react to the steel dragon nest?

  And, just now...he did sense a familiar aura from the steel dragon's lair.

   It wasn't the familiarity of the steel dragon or the dragon's blood, but another kind of aura that he had sensed in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea.

   Soon, Ian recalled what kind of breath it was.

   "Tinder!"

  Ian opened his eyes wide, and he finally noticed the origin of this sense of familiarity—it was a very different ecology from Terra today, just like the abnormal ecological circle formed around alien ecological fires in the South China Sea Great Labyrinth!

  Steel Dragon Nest, perhaps back then, was a Tinder ecosystem that was gradually formed under the influence of Qian Ganglong!

  Although four hundred years have passed, many lives that used to exist only in the steel dragon's lair have spread outwards, becoming many local monsters, that is, the steel-type monsters that are abundant in the Baisen Mountains.

   And the original design goal of the crystal dragon was to be the core of a heterogeneous ecosystem... That's why it reacted to the steel dragon's nest!

Thinking of this, Ian suddenly understood: "Crystal dragons are older than this generation of true dragons on Terra—this is a fact, but the true dragons on Terra may be those that can reproduce naturally in the mouth of the steel dragon. The fourth and fifth generation of true dragons?"

   "And why is the crystallized dragon called a dragon, and like a real dragon, it has a power that is different from the existing ecology... There must be a relationship between the two!"

   "True dragon, maybe also a race related to fire?"

  Although it is speculation, this may be the truth.

Compared with other magical beasts, the most prominent feature of real dragons is that their existence will change the environment of a place to adapt to themselves... This is completely opposite to crystallized dragons, but they all lead to the same goal. organisms survive.

  In the past, Ian didn't know the species of real dragons, so he didn't know what they thought.

However, after Xigangshan got a part of the memory that Solstner deliberately left behind, Ian came back to it... He only has a lifespan of 500 years, and he will not let his mind become weak because of too long a living time. A creature that is cold and loses its feelings, and will continue to observe the entire world, the giant beast named True Dragon, maybe it was originally a 'guardian' related to each civilization?

Perhaps, the real dragons are the "biological observation stations" created by the skyfall spacecraft. They launch dragon eggs to planets one after another, and then wait for them to hatch naturally. When the real dragons hatch, this lone life will use a Observing the entire civilization from a special angle, and being recovered before the end of life, to obtain research materials from a unique perspective.

In this way, it can also explain why the real dragons can't understand each other and can't get along with each other at all-their thinking patterns are probably shaped to adapt to completely different civilizations, and the real dragons are naturally incompatible. Mutual understanding is like two different civilizations can't completely match in terms of three views, social system and self-superiority.

  Of course, there will be similar civilizations, like Qian Ganglong and his teacher, who can barely understand each other.

   This is all just guesswork. After all, the real dragon is a race that changes the environment to adapt to itself. If it is really an observer, then it is necessary to additionally select different types of real dragons for launch. Ian's guess is closer to the essence of the crystal dragon, but the crystal dragon should be from the pre-epoch Civilization research is the product of previous generations or even the first generation of real dragons.

  In short, the relationship here is messy, but there is a thread to be found.

  As long as Ian gets more heritage and knowledge about the real dragon, he will eventually understand the vague relationship between the dragon and the skyfall ship.

   But not now.

Ian did not intend to enter the steel dragon nest this time, trying to accept Solstner's inheritance, not only accepting the inheritance itself would take a long time, but unlocking the fields and various All kinds of Longyou fan locks need to spend a lot of time.

  However, this does not mean that he does not intend to do anything - he has no time to accept the inheritance, but Ian has enough time to make the entire Steel Dragon Nest react to him.

  The white-haired boy stepped forward, he raised his right hand, the light blue source quality flowed out from the ether crystal, and the golden source quality of Gu Long's core mixed with it, blooming green-gold lines in the air.

  The green-gold lines are close to the mountains that make up the steel dragon's nest.

   Then the mountains shook.

  —Steel Mountain.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Beside the burning sacrificial fire, the great sacrificial bell, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly rang spontaneously, and the soul-stirring sound of the bell resonated between heaven and earth.

At the foot of the mountain, many mountain people who came here to pay homage to the miracle and repent and make a pilgrimage all raised their heads and looked at the top of the holy mountain in astonishment. They had only heard about these deeds in story books or the legends of their parents and grandparents. But now, those age-old visions are appearing one by one and confirmed one by one.

A bare foot as white as snow stepped on the top of the holy mountain, on the edge of the black stone altar. With the support of a beautiful silver-haired woman, a girl with long fiery red hair and straight dragon horns raised her head slightly in a daze. Look to the other side of the sky.

  In the place where the distant Jiamube is located, in the holy land north of the Midra Autonomous Region, stratigraphic clouds are gathering, and billowing dark clouds gather from the sky in all directions, pressing towards the ancient holy land.

"That is…"

The young dragon girl whispered to herself, she seemed to have not spoken for a long time, her voice was a little hoarse, but she adjusted quickly, her bright green pupils lit up with psychic brilliance: "The steel dragon nest—the steel dragon nest has responded! "

   "Mom, this is..."

"Who else is there?" The silver-haired beautiful woman turned her head and looked at the body of the deformed dragon whose many bone spurs and distortions had subsided in the sacrificial fire. The king of the mountain sighed slightly, but smiled again: "Just The legacy that even our real dragons can't activate is awakened by humans with dragon blood again...Who else can have such a successor in the whole of Nanling?"

   "Ian..."

  Dragon Girl whispered to herself, while the green-haired elf on the other side stepped forward with a complex expression, looking at her friend's all-too-familiar face.

  The appearance of the elf and the dragon girl is so similar that it can even be said that they are basically male and female versions. Except for the hair color and eye color, they are basically twin brothers and sisters.

"Don't use this face next time, it's so weird, it's like looking in a mirror. Didn't you think about it when you squeezed your face?" He complained softly, and Longnu smirked, as if You have to play dumb to avoid your friend's complaints: "My male body was destroyed by Fei Yandi, there is no way, only this old prosthetic body is left..."

"I didn't say that you won't be allowed to use it now. What's more important now is that he definitely needs help." Standing beside the dragon girl, the elf also looked in the direction of the steel dragon's nest, and Anfa said in a firm tone: "Ian once and We have said that if he wants to completely awaken the Steel Dragon Nest, it must be at the right time, when the entire mountain people can believe that he is the real messenger of the dragon god, that is, when he can lead the mountain people to glory. "

   "Now, the rebellious mountain people still exist, and the claws of Flaming Land have not been retracted, but he created such a vision—he must have encountered some troubles, needs our help, and is calling us to go."

   "It may also be to lure the enemy to the past."

The King of the Mountain speaks briefly, and she believes in Ian's strength more than anyone else—after all, she went to Avak in real body, and the real dragon knows very well that Ian is not as "good" as he appears on the surface. There are many small moves behind it, and his strength is by no means as simple as it seems to everyone.

As a dragon blood sublimator who definitely has the peak strength of the second energy level, counting the hidden cards, even the third energy level may not be impossible to fight against, the king of the mountain believes that Ian's action this time should be the one who wants to kill Jia Mubu. The chieftain returned to the Midra Autonomous Region.

but why?

  Why the urgency? Is it because of the steel pterosaur? But the steel pterosaur will obviously have her to solve it, and they are also very clear about the fact that the steel pterosaur will attack the Xiahui collar...

  【Xio. Manya has already gone to the Frodo Autonomous Region to fight against the army of the rebellious mountain people. I am going to trouble that guy, the Steel Winged Dragon King. Anfa's physical strength is very low, and now you may be the only one who can help Ian]

At this moment, the real body of the King of the Mountain also returned from the sky, and the huge real dragon landed on the top of the holy mountain. He glanced at the direction where the steel dragon's nest was, then turned his head, and said solemnly to his child: [ I think it's time to go]

"I…"

  The red-haired dragon girl turned her head to the side and glanced at her real body. Although the body had recovered most of its integrity under the burning of the dragon god's sacrificial fire, her mechanical prosthetic body that usually assisted her real body was beside her.

  She hesitated, a little scared.

  If she is going to fight by herself, Xiou has never been afraid of any enemy, but she is a little worried about friends and other people... With a body like hers, not only can she not help the opponent, but it will also hinder him from winning.

   This is the worry that patients always have.

  But under the encouraging gaze of Anfa and her own mother, the girl exhaled and smiled: "Yes, it's time to bid farewell to the past with a fight."

   "Farewell to the old me."

  The red-haired dragon girl moved slightly, and was no longer supported by her mother.

  She stepped forward, towards her real body in the dragon **** sacrificial fire.

  She stretched out her hand—and immediately, a round of translucent psychic light penetrated the girl and the dragon.

   Then, all the mountain people around the holy mountain saw it.

  A red-silver streamer of light shines from the top of Tangang Mountain, it leaps into the dark clouds, and then draws a straight line on the sky.

   This straight line is not heading towards the steel dragon's nest...but straight to Xiahui collar.

"This stupid child is finally smart." The silver-haired beautiful woman and the majestic dragon smiled and nodded at the same time, and they sighed: "It's really hard work, Anfa. Thanks to you for communicating with her all these years write a letter."

"Where." The green-haired elf shook his head slightly: "In the final analysis, I didn't help much—I originally came to Nanling this time, just to see how to cure the poison of the void demon, and whether it can be done with the help of the World Tree Seed. Pulling out... But who would have thought that Ian would encounter a variable like Ian?"

   "Yes. Variables." The King of the Mountain whispered to himself, and the tone of the real dragon sighed: "In human beings, there will always be variables."

   Not just Qigangshan.

The vision of the dark clouds rolling in the sky even alarmed Nauman City, especially the strange situation where there is no strong wind on the ground, but the clouds at the top of the sky are moving at a high speed as if being torn apart, which makes everyone feel inexplicably uneasy .

Everyone stopped what they were doing. They gathered on the street and looked up in astonishment. Colonel Mayova also walked out of his office in the governor's mansion of Nauman City. He squinted his eyes and stared at the sky. The same golden green light flickered.

   "The natural psionic field changes, and the main core area of ​​change is the Baisen Mountains, the Midra Autonomous Region... is the mutation of the steel dragon's nest."

His gaze seemed to be able to see the scene on the far side directly across thousands of miles. Colonel Mayova seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help smiling: "It seems that he should be the backhand of the king of the mountain. I'll tell you the truth." Dragons have been studied in the Baisen Mountains for so many years, even with the restrictions of Dragon Island's rules, it is impossible to be unable to use any power."

   "Now, with the excuse of Ian, many things can be done openly."

He also saw that silver streamer, and after that, another brighter silver light flashed across the top of the sky - that was obviously the figure of the King of the Mountain, which made Colonel Mayova more confident in himself Guess: "It seems that something big must have happened in the depths of the Baisen Mountains, but it is still expected."

   "Go." He called the messenger: "Notify the general (Marquis Barton) and the Cangyun Knights, tell them...the time may come."

Dark clouds covered the center of the Baisen Mountains, and the gloomy darkness and mist covered the mountains and rivers, the plains and forests, and the endless rivers, streams and lakes were also rippling due to the blowing of the wind, and they flowed faster. A huge cloud vortex is manifesting with the steel dragon nest as the center.

  Although the inheritance of the ancient dragon **** has not been fully opened, the leak of its power is enough to change the celestial phenomena, indicating that huge changes are coming.

Standing on the top of a mountain in the steel dragon's nest, Ian raised his head and looked at the clouds hovering around him—the huge psionic energy field was being siphoned by the steel dragon's nest, forming a well of psionic energy on the continent of Terra. The dark clouds and haze all over the sky are not dragons flying clouds to spread rain, but the long-thirsty dragon nest wants to swallow the breath of the four seas to relieve its thirsty throat.

  Ian did not touch the inheritance at the bottom of the Steel Dragon Nest, he just used his own dragon blood to activate the long-silent array of inscriptions inside the Steel Dragon Nest.

  Back then, the Iron Dragon was like this, mobilizing the natural source of the entire Baisen Mountains to heal itself, but now, hundreds of years later, people regard this vision as a miracle.

  The cold rain thread began to be photographed, and in a blink of an eye, Ian's body was pouring down with rain, and the temperature dropped to freezing point due to the energy absorbed by the dragon's nest.

   Layers of frost spread under the feet.

  Among the pitch-black clouds, lightning intersected and criss-crossed, and a ray of thunder suddenly fell, winding down not far away, illuminating the peaceful face of the young man.

   Ian stared into the distance, he waited.

   Waiting for the arrival of their enemies.

  —Frodo Borough, Battlefield.

  Coastal area, the battleground between the mountain people and the mountain people, the camps of both sides are lit with torches and lights, densely packed, like fireflies all over the mountains and plains.

  The chief of the Jiamu tribe in his prime, Kod Jiamu stood in front of his big tent, staring at the city and defense lines of the Frodo Autonomous Region from afar, his body motionless, like a statue.

  The firelight behind him elongated the figure of this third-level powerhouse.

  —Dragon God Messenger.

  The word flashed through his mind, and a voice repeated it again and again, whispering in his ear again and again.

  From the age of five, he was detected to have a blood reaction, and he had to face a whole day of rigorous training from the moment he opened his eyes.

   It is not pure physical strength, but spiritual sharpening and meditation. He is a mountain people. Mountain people are not a brave race who can only use knives and guns, but an independent civilization with its own cultural heritage, philosophy and technology.

Since he was a child, Ke De had to receive a full range of chief successor training. He had to read the sacrificial texts of the dragon god, understand the history of the mountain people, and know the significance of every job in his tribe to the tribe from childhood to adulthood. His priest teacher and The chief's mother taught him about sublimated people day and night, trained him to be a leader, and became the most intelligent, tenacious and persevering person in the entire tribe.

   There is no doubt that he succeeded.

Ke De is the genius in the mouth of the mountain people. In the year just after puberty, he became the first energy level sublimator, caught up with his mother, and successfully became the second energy level before the age of twenty. Energy level, equal to one's own teacher.

   On that day, all the mountain people came to the gate of Ke De's house, and each of them prepared a gift full of heart for Ke De. They are not precious, most of them are just some fresh wild fruits, hunted animal meat, some rare-looking stones, and carefully carved statuettes.

Kodd, who had just grown up, felt overwhelmed by this, and even wanted to escape—he didn't understand at that time that this kind of thing was called "putting hope", and he instinctively felt that he could not respond to this kind of hope, so he wanted to To evade this heavy duty.

   But the mother pulled him back. The strong woman with a voice like a bull's roar gently hugged her child and told him that he would become a leader far greater than her and become Kagibe's pride and hope.

  He should face it all as mountains face wind and thunder.

  In this way, he can become a real man.

  Become the messenger of the Dragon God as everyone wishes.

  Some of Kodd understood, and some did not. But after that, he never escaped from everything again.

   Then, his mother died while hunting monsters in the depths of the mountains, and his teacher passed away because he was too old, and Ke De became the chief of Kamubu.

The Ministry of Democratic League said that he is a warrior protected by the dragon god. He can easily kill those monsters that the predecessors and former chiefs and priests could not kill. Even the beast kings in the mountains will shy away when they see him. If he breaks the curse of the mountain people and becomes a hero, then he must be the one who unifies the entire mountain people and becomes the messenger of the Dragon God.

  Code thought so too. But he is far smarter and knows more than his own people, but he understands that he may not be able to become the third energy level in his whole life.

   Cannot become the envoy of Dragon God.

The empire has blocked all the channels for the mountain people to advance, unless the mountain people are willing to leave the mountains where they live, go to the army of the empire, go to the cities of the empire, and become an imperial person-this is the choice of many geniuses of the mountain people. They left their own tribe, gave up the ardent requests and hopes of their relatives and clansmen, walked out of the Baisen Mountains alone, joined the empire, and became a member of the empire.

   Then, it becomes the third energy level.

   and never come back.

  —that's a shame.

  Code always thinks so. He thought that it might not be a bad thing if other people were the envoys of the dragon god. If there are mountain people of the third energy level who are willing to return from the empire, become their leaders, and lead them to glory again, then why not? ?

  Yes, he wants to become the envoy of the Dragon God, but the real goal is to make his tribe live better.

Since it is impossible to become the third energy level, there are still other ways to make the people of the tribe live better, but the mountain tribe has already filled every corner of the mountain. Ke De looked around, but there was no place where he could flex his muscles. The land—the increasing population of the mountain people has become a hidden danger. Without relying on the food of the empire, the mountain people can no longer even feed themselves.

   This is a trap. Not only is the population stuck in the food dependence of the mountain people, but it is also a trap that prevents each mountain tribe from developing independently and must conflict with other tribes.

Ke De saw through this point, of course he could see through, this is not a hidden conspiracy at all, but a complete overt conspiracy - for two hundred years, the mountain people have been stuck by such an overt conspiracy, unable to move, completely became what it is today.

  Decades have passed, and the former teenagers have become middle-aged, gradually approaching old age. The enthusiasm and dreams in Ke De Jiamu's heart are still not extinguished. He wants to fight for his own people and the future of Jiamu's tribe - for this reason, he does not hesitate to make a deal with Feiyan. While poisoning the entire Nanling, he also Leading a group of mountain people to brazenly become independent.

  He is proficient in history, inscriptions and various martial arts. He once fought against the earth-splitting bear in the forest, confronted the sharp-toothed tiger in the mountains, he once snapped off the flying wings of the sub-dragon, and bit the enemy's throat.

  He is smart, fierce, and spares no effort on his own body. In the eyes of his people, he is the perfect leader.

  But Curd Jiamu still couldn't figure out the thoughts behind Flameland and the Empire, he really didn't know anything about it.

   It's not because he's stupid, but because his world is so big, his vision can only be so big, and he will definitely be taken advantage of.

  So—have to get out.

   Not only independence, the mountain people have to go out and occupy the agate stone plain so that they can feed themselves... Only in this way can the mountain people have a future.

   Of course, besides this, there is an easier way.

"die."

The middle-aged man whispered to himself: "As long as enough people die, as long as the other tribes that occupy wealth but do not develop are wiped out, and they concentrate on research and development of technology, we will have a future, instead of becoming a tool for wrestling with the empire. .”

   "My compatriots, you have nothing to do wrong, what you have to say... is just because you have stagnated and stopped my greedy steps."

  Decades later, Kod Jiamu no longer believed in the legend of the dragon **** messenger.

  This is a story, a kind of history, a kind of title-the mountain people will not suddenly have a hero appear to lead the declining people to prosperity, and really want to slowly improve from the current bad situation. If you want to change the fate of the mountain people, you can only rely on your own hands, a ruthless heart, and...

sacrifice.

   It is better to be the sacrifice of other tribes, not the sacrifice of one's own tribe.

  This is the diametrically opposite fact of the Dragon God Messenger. If the mountain people want to rise from the current misery and become independent again, they must sacrifice part of their current existence. Naturally, Ke De is unwilling to sacrifice his own people, so he can only invite people who are not so close to die.

   This is no way.

   At this moment, a thunderbolt suddenly descended from the distant sky, and the bright light zigzagging across the sky passed through the dark clouds, waking the chief from his memory.

The dark clouds are rolling back towards the inner mountains, and from Frodo Autonomous Region to Knuckle Mountain, it is almost the eve of the storm. Even the blind can know one thing from the humid air: the heavy rain is about to come. Advent.

"This is…"

  Kode frowned slightly. He looked towards the center of the mountains, a little confused about the situation: "This direction...why does it seem to be...the steel dragon's nest?!"

   Speaking of this, Ke De couldn't help being startled, while another mountain dweller stepped forward.

   This is a man with a resolute appearance, and he seems to be quite reticent. He is the chief of the Ronggang Department. He has always supported Ke De to become a comrade in arms of the leader of the Independent Mountain People's Alliance.

  The chief of the Ronggang Department said a few words to Ke De in a low voice, which immediately changed his expression.

   "Someone attacked my tribe, seduced the two steel pterosaurs away, and some people rushed into the tribe to wreak havoc?!"

  Kode did not expect that the chief of the Ronggang tribe told him the news, but considering that he did ask other people not to come and disturb him, it is not surprising that the chiefs of other tribes can bypass his guards.

  Strengthening his composure, Chief Kede said in a deep voice: "Don't worry! Since Xiahui led those people to raid my tribe with the main force under the guise of suppressing bandits...it proves that there are not many guards in his territory!"

   "The dragons have already gone to raid, and their losses must be greater than ours—the advantage is mine!"

  The chief of Ronggang Department nodded slightly. Of course, he would not tell the people in front of him that in fact, the people who sneaked into Jiamubu not only seduced the two steel pterosaurs, but also destroyed Jiamubu's sacrificial hall and alchemy workshop, and even many elite hunters guarded them. None of them were spared—after all, he was an undercover agent, so how could he possibly tell the other party the 100% truthful news.

  So, the man of few words said: "Now, those people are going to the Holy Land Steel Dragon's Nest, and someone must stop them."

   "Kode, should I lead the team back to prevent these people from desecrating the Holy Land, or..."

"Do not."

  Chief Ke De shook his head and interrupted the other party: "I'll go back."

Squinting his eyes, the chief looked at the mountains where the dark clouds gathered in the distance: "No matter what Manya and the others are doing, they can indeed awaken the holy mountain and the dragon's nest. The technology and principles behind this can definitely be used by us .”

   "This is an opportunity. Since they dared to break away from the majority and raid the steel dragon's lair, they must be betting that I will not go back for the frontal battle—but I will never do what they want."

   Turning his head, Ke De said in a deep voice: "Get my armor ready, and prepare the wine for me before the decisive battle tomorrow morning."

   "I'll go back as soon as I go!"
