The New Fortress, which had been bustling for a month and suffered for a month, ushered in another wave of immigrants after all the troops retreated. Almost most of the people gathered together spontaneously and left together. When the new fortress calmed down completely, there were not many people left. The new fortress, which was already empty, suddenly became even more deserted. Seemingly fearing the Dark Temple¡¯s revenge in the future, all the regular armies with strong men from the Holy Domain hurriedly withdrew after completely destroying the Dark Temple. The last person left behind turned out to be four large battle groups who wanted to have a drink of soup. Each of the four combat groups has three to five thousand men, and the total number is nearly 20,000. However, there are only half of the actual combatants at most, and compared with the regular army, their strength is generally low. Calculating this, the combined combat effectiveness of the four combat groups of 20,000 people may only be comparable to that of a regular army of 5,000 people at most. Moreover, there is no real master in charge. Of the four battle groups, there are only three masters above level 9, less than twenty masters above level 8, and even less than a hundred masters at level seven. Compared with the regular army, it is not a concept at all. Thinking about it, if you have enough strength, who will join the fighting group? How promising is it to join the regular army? Unless you have a deep friendship with the leader of the combat group and grew up together. Of course, the appeal of the ninth-level powerhouse is also very strong. After all, after the ninth level, there is the holy realm. If you join a battle group with a ninth-level powerhouse, you will be upgraded to a regular army one day. At that time, those who join early will be the elders and their status will be much higher. After the meeting of the four giants, the first decree issued by the Ping An Fortress is: All people living in the Ping An Fortress must pay 30% of all income. In addition, except for level 0 newcomers, everyone must pay 5 yuan per month according to their level. The same soul crystal. As soon as this decree came out, a large number of people left together. This is more than twice the tax of other fortresses, who can bear it? As a result, there were even fewer people staying in the Safe Fortress. Yiguang walked around the fortress and estimated that the population in the fortress was definitely less than 15,000. Nearly 4,000 of them are people who stayed before, and 9,000 to 10,000 are people from the four major combat groups. Of course, the families and relatives of the four major combat groups will definitely come over soon. But even if those people come, the population of the fortress will never reach 25,000. "Compared to the original grand situation of Botan Fortress with a permanent population and troops of about 100,000, it is really deserted. When Yiguang went to register the member information on behalf of the Light Fighting Group, the person in charge of the registration was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he saw that there was a ninth-level powerhouse among the people Yiguang registered. This is a very small battle group with only thirteen people, with the highest level being Level 2, and all other levels being Level 1. Obviously, the ninth-level master cannot be from this battle group, so it can only mean that this small light battle group has a huge backstage. This ninth-level powerhouse was specifically here to protect them. When Yiguang left, the person in charge of registration immediately ran to report to his team leader. This is a big deal. Today, there are only three ninth-level strong men in the four major battle groups. A small battle group with only a dozen people and the highest strength of only second level actually has a ninth-level strong man as a bodyguard. Can this matter not be reported? As soon as Yiguang arrived home, someone came to visit him, and the leaders of the four major combat groups came together. Yi Guang, who had expected it, was naturally prepared, and he and Aunt Philena welcomed and received him together. Previously, the Dark Temple had wiped out more than twenty powerful men from the Holy Realm. Now, various armies have emptied the Dark Temple's accumulated wealth over thousands of years, and completely destroyed the Dark Temple's lair, and finally burned it to the ground with Darkness. The temple has had a vindictive style of conduct for many years, and revenge is inevitable. And this new fortress seems to be the opponent's primary target. It can be expected that the revenge of the Dark Temple will not be large-scale. When the time comes, the primary target of small-scale sneak attacks will definitely be high-level powerhouses. And with the work of the Dark Temple, only the Holy Domain powerhouses will be qualified to take risks and come back for a sneak attack. become their target. Therefore, this area has become a taboo place for the strong men in the Holy Domain. No matter who they are, they will be killed and will not be left behind. Once the matter was over, everything dispersed. The visitor entered the temporary living room and saw Yi Guang sitting in the main seat, while the one-armed ninth-level spiritual master was standing aside. He suddenly looked shocked and looked at each other. The status of Yiguang and Yilan, two boys who were only at the first level, suddenly became much higher in their eyes. "The four city lords came together, it is really brilliant. Aunt Philena, you have just been injured and have not recovered yet, please sit down. If, what I expected is true, the four city lords came here for your sake. "Yi Guang said. The four city lords naturally handed over their hands and were polite. "Master, sit here. I don't dare to mess with the rules. My injury is almost healed, so there is no need to sit." Aunt Philena said quickly and respectfully. "Ms. Philena, I wonder if you were injured before?" Sitting at the head of the guest seat was Enmis, the leader of the Dihui Fighting Group, who expressed his doubts. When others heard this, they also showed interested expressions. "It's nothing. It's just that when I escaped from Botan Fortress to protect the young master and several of his friends, I was discovered by a team from the Dark Temple. Although I escaped in the end, I lost an arm, and , the two young masters¡¯ friends, and two others were not brought out safely. It¡¯s really shameful to say that,¡± Philena said according to Yiguang¡¯s instructions beforehand. "Oh? You actually broke out from Botan Fortress?" The four of them were shocked after hearing what Philena said. "How could we break out in that situation? We took advantage of the night and sneaked out in a weakly defended place, but we were still discovered later. Fortunately, when we were discovered, there were many holy masters from the Dark Temple. Some of them were held back, and there were no other strong men at the sanctuary level in front of them, so they managed to escape. It was a complete fluke," said Philena. "This is also a great initiative. I'm afraid you are the only ones who have escaped from Botan City on your own." Lettji Kane, the leader of the War Army's combat regiment, said with emotion. "The Black Temple's blockade was indeed very tight at that time. Fortunately, the people in the Dark Temple saw that we were escaping this way, and besides me, we were all first- and second-level children, so they didn't pursue us. Otherwise, If so, I won¡¯t be spared either,¡± said Philena. Everyone sat together and chatted for a long time. In the end, the agreement was reached that the Light Battle Group enjoyed the same treatment as the four major battle groups in the Safe Fortress. Not only did they not have to pay any taxes, but they could also receive ten magical soul crystals and ten spirit soul crystals every year. Magic Soul Crystal. Of course, when the Safe Fortress is attacked by high-level soul beasts, Philena also needs to help. Of course, the Dark Temple sending people to attack is not within the scope of this agreement. If the Dark Temple really comes to take revenge, everyone present will have no choice but to run for their lives.
