Chapter 0411 On the verge of breaking out The night wind was choking, the bonfire was dim, and light rain started to fall in the sky at some point. The rainy night in the Thousand-Year Mountains is as cold as a bone scraper, cutting into people's bodies one by one. Whenever she encounters a rainy night like this, Rihanna will curl up into a ball, hide in the blanket as much as possible, or get close to the bonfire, and use the breath from her mouth to warm her frozen hands and feet. This time, she didn't have to do that. Because of Ai Di's presence, the cold seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall, turning into a wisp of white mist as soon as it approached, spreading out in all directions. "You guys have been waiting for me It's really hard." Ai Di took a sip of the wine and the spicy alcohol penetrated into his organs and spread to every cell in his body. His body, which had been suppressed for a year under the ground, felt like it was all over again. The child came to life. "It's not all for Rihanna." Memphis laughed and said, "It would be great if you can come back. If you don't come back, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to think about it." Aidi smiled bitterly and looked at Rihanna, then she realized that she had offended her again. An emotional debt. I'm not a very handsome guy, and I didn't deliberately approach him, so why would I show mercy? Could it be that he still has a hidden talent of "destined to commit peach blossoms"? "Don't bite your tongue carelessly." Rihanna felt her face burning hotly, and the blush spread to her ears. "I won't say it anymore, let you say it." Memphis laughed strangely, and even Westbrook and Durant had strange smiles on their faces, which made Rihanna even more shy. The female priest would not frown even if she encountered a powerful monster, but now she had her head hanging down, unable to say a word, and her heart was beating wildly. It was really embarrassing. "No matter what, I still want to thank you all. It is my lifelong honor to know friends like you." Ai Di said. "You consider us friends?" Everyone was a little excited. Who is Aidi? Before he disappeared, he was the most dazzling new star in the entire Eternal Continent. After defeating Rickon, his fame skyrocketed, and some people even compared him to the God of War, the God of War. With such an outstanding person, not to mention a team of four adventurers with an average level of only fifteen, even ordinary outstanding level experts are not qualified to call him brothers. And now Aidi actually calls everyone friends, and everyone suddenly feels that the year of waiting has not been in vain. "We have lived and died together and fought side by side. What are we not friends?" Aidi laughed. He didn't have the slightest aura of a strong man on his body. He seemed to be completely integrated with the surrounding environment, making people think that he was just a very strong person. Ordinary young people. If a certain epic-level strongman saw Ai Di's current appearance, he would definitely be shocked and fell to the ground. At this moment, Ai Di has actually integrated into the ever-changing rules. As long as he is willing, it seems that he can stir up the power of the rules at any time and turn the world around. Hands are covered with clouds and hands are covered with rain. The atmosphere gradually became cheerful. A gourd of wine was passed around in everyone's hands. The laughter that had not been seen for a long time frequently rang in the mouths of the four-person team. Even this rainy night became a bit smiling. . "By the way, has anything big happened this year?" Ai Di asked, "How's the Empire proposing marriage to the Fire Nation?" For the past year, Ai Di has been cultivating the soul fire in the Empire of the Undead. Whenever he has free time, he will think of Rachel, Vivian, and Catherine He wonders if they are okay now. "The biggest thing is that a war is about to begin," Memphis blurted out. "The armies of the Empire and the Fire Nation are gathering for this marriage." "So the war hasn't started yet?" Ai Di was not surprised. When the proposal of marriage had just happened, he had anticipated such a day. The war actually lasted for a year before it started, which was beyond his expectation. Aidi didn¡¯t know that after he left the proposal mission, the team arrived in Lagos safely and soon sent a proposal letter to Catherine. The old emperor of the empire has always been aloof and arrogant. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Rickon and Golden Rose families to be wiped out, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to unify the human kingdom and become the emperor of the ages. The name of the letter was a proposal of marriage, but it was extremely provocative and threatening. It was clear that the Fire Nation was not regarded as a country with equal status, but that it had the intention of getting Catherine to sacrifice herself for marriage. How could the proud and arrogant Catherine be so angry? What's more, Aidi's reputation was already at its peak, and she didn't need to worry about the threat from the empire. So Catherine immediately rejected the political marriage and wrote a letter categorically breaking off the relationship. Now the old emperor was furious and immediately asked Gordon Fehr to assemble an army and prepare for war. At this critical juncture, Aidi disappeared. Not only Catherine was anxious, Leonardo was also anxious.?Same as an ant on a hot pot. Without Aidi's existence, the Fire Nation would be in danger, and Leonardo's plan to usurp the throne would be shelved indefinitely. Under some common interests, the two secretly formed an alliance and tried to delay time. This delay lasted for more than half a year, and the old emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore. He first put Leonardo, who was resolutely anti-war, under house arrest, then raised his troops to march westward, setting up a mighty formation in front of the Millennium Mountains. Durant told Aidi the situation he had heard from adventurers in the town, and Aidi had some understanding of the missing year. There seemed to be an arrow in his heart, ready to fly away from the string, and he wished he could fly to the battlefield all of a sudden. The wind is howling, the horses are neighing, dark clouds are pressing in, and the mountains are about to be destroyed. At a mountain pass in the Thousand-Year Mountains, gusts of wind howled through the valley, and the rolled up stones could easily create streaks of blood on the face. On one side of the mountain pass is the brightly armored Imperial Army, and on the other side is the menacing Fire Army. The confrontation between the two sides has lasted for ten days. Although a real decisive battle has not yet been launched, small-scale conflicts occur every day, and war is about to break out. On the empire's side, a hundred thousand troops came down the mountain, led by the thirty-second-level general Gordon Fell, who had many fierce generals under his command. The elite Griffin Knight Legion, the Holy Light Legion composed of three hundred powerful Paladins, and the elusive Rogue Scout Group are enough to scare any enemy. The Fire Nation did not show weakness. Grand Marshal Antar personally led the troops, and the epic strongman Anthony sat at the rear. Princess Evelin and the beautiful Colonel Lucia also came with the army. Although the number was only 30,000, they put on a great display. The posture is like burning the cauldron and sinking the boat. Lucia stood at a lookout at the mountain pass, spying on the emperor's movements, her eyes filled with anxiety. ¡°Colonel, it¡¯s dangerous here, let¡¯s leave quickly.¡± A follower urged. This place? The observation post is only one thousand meters away from the emperor's military camp, so it is not considered hidden. Once the emperor has thieves and hunters patrolling nearby, their whereabouts will be easily exposed. As the only granddaughter of Generalissimo Antal, Lucia is also a close friend of Queen Catherine. If anything happens to her, it will definitely be a huge loss to the Fire Nation. If Lucia hadn't insisted on going to the front line for reconnaissance, her followers would never have dared to let her take such a risk. "It'll be fine soon." Lucia was not reckless. She firmly wrote down everything she saw, and a plan for a night attack had already emerged in her mind. Finally, after surveying the enemy's situation, Lucia nodded to her followers, packed her things and prepared to leave. Just as everyone was walking down a rugged path, a group of dark figures suddenly appeared around them. "The Empire's Rogue Scouts," a follower exclaimed, standing in front of Lucia. "Puff puff" A series of poisoned crossbow arrows were shot out from the thief's hand, killing most of the followers in an instant. Suddenly attacked, Lucia drew out her long sword under the cover of her entourage. With a flick of her wrist, the sword flowers bloomed, and she shot down several crossbow arrows with a "dinging, clanging" sound. "Colonel Lucia, big fish like you are really rare." A square-faced thief clapped gently and said with a joking look on his face. "Baria?" Lucia looked solemn and sheathed her sword to protect her chest. She glanced around and found that all her followers had fallen down, and there were at least twenty thieves around. It seemed that they were doomed this time. As for the square-faced thief in front of her, Lucia has also heard of his reputation. The leader of the dignified Imperial Thief Reconnaissance Group, a level 30 assassination thief, known for his elusiveness, cunning and cunning, and is Goldenfell's right-hand man. "It's really an honor for me that the most beautiful colonel in the Fire Nation also knows my name." Barea smiled, "I have long heard about your beauty, Miss Lucia. Today, you are really not as famous as meeting me. Your She is even more beautiful than the rumors say." Lucia said with an unchanging expression: "Thank you for the compliment" She responded in her mouth, but in her heart she was thinking about various ways to escape. In the secret compartment of Lucia's wrist, there is a projectile that can create thick smoke. Now it seems that this is the only chance. Twisting her wrist slightly, Lucia was ready to take action, but Barea's laughter could be heard in her ears: "Miss Lucia, if I were you, I wouldn't use that smoke bomb. Look at my men. , The crossbows in their hands don¡¯t have eyes. If a beautiful lady turns into a hedgehog, I will feel very sad.¡± Sure enough, every thief holds a crossbow and uses Lucia¡¯s various dodge routes. All blocked. Even with the cover of smoke, she had no way out. "Is there no chance?" Lucia lamented in her heart. There was still poison in her fingernails, which would be fatal immediately if bitten. This was her last resort.A way to be humiliated. But she was still so young and still had someone she was attached to, so she was really unwilling to die like this. Thinking of the man hidden in her heart, Lucia felt a little hateful. Where did that guy go? The Fire Nation suffered such a major crisis but he disappeared. As long as he was willing to show his face, how could the Empire be so aggressive? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Lucia couldn't help biting her teeth, determined to bite that guy hard when they meet in the underworld in the future. "Miss Lucia, the empire will treat you very favorably. Now. Please put down your weapons and come with us. Please don't think too hard, you are still young and have a long life ahead of you." Barea was also afraid of Lucia's suicide and said seductively. "Stop dreaming." Lucia smiled faintly, determined to die. She raised her hand and put it into her mouth. She saw Barea rushing to stop her and shouted softly: "Aidi, I hate you." Her nails fell between her teeth, but Lucia couldn't bite anymore. Because a bad guy suddenly appeared and grabbed her waist and asked softly in her ear: "Why do you hate me? Do you blame me for being late?" bk
