Yi Xuan's army set off, and the mighty team meandered on the vast wasteland with no end in sight. This time, thousands of players joined Yi Xuan's conquest team. This is not over yet, Yang Kai has also fulfilled his promise. Groups of barbarian warriors are following behind the player team. There are more than 500 people, tall barbarians and their original costumes. This makes them easily distinguishable from those well-equipped players. They carry thick stone hammers and huge machetes, making the entire team look more diverse and more combat-effective. Like every expedition, Yi Xuan led his Holy Light Knights and camp convoy at the front of the team. Their neat uniforms made their team look very classy from the front. Yi Xuan rode on the silver horse and looked at the vast land in front of him with a serious expression. In the past few days, he could only use this seemingly calm look to cover up the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. Because this time he wasted too much time. In order to upgrade to the sixth level template, in order to help Yang Kai defeat the Frost Troll, in order to gather more players, and in order to get the bloodline card he wanted, all the delays seemed to have occurred. The reason was that it took half a month after separation from Zhao Beifeng before embarking on the journey to the Tower of Darkness again. Yi Xuan felt a little uneasy, which was a bit different from what Zhao Beifeng had agreed upon. "Old Yi, what are you thinking about?" At this time, Yang Kai overtook the team and caught up. He had been leading the barbarian team forward. After walking for a while, he found that there was no problem and then he came up and stood side by side with Yi Xuan. "What are you doing? Are you here?" Yi Xuan was very happy when he saw that it was Yang Kai, but he was worried about the discipline of the barbarian troops. "Don't worry, I've given it all to Ren, what are you doing? You look bitter and hateful, the landlords and rich peasants have been beaten down for many years." Yang Kai asked jokingly. "Alas." When Yi Xuan mentioned this, he couldn't even smile in response to the joke. He sighed and his face became even gloomier. "Is there really something going on?" As soon as Yang Kai looked interested, he immediately approached the horse's head and asked mysteriously: "Tell me, what's going on?" There was no need to hide this matter from Yang Kai, so he turned around and looked After looking around, he saw that behind the two men were his trusted troops, Yi Xuan whispered: "I am worried about Zhao Beifeng's condition. In fact, he was already in critical condition half a month ago. In this half month, maybe He has been turned around so many times. " "Don't worry, he can be resurrected. I haven't heard of any dungeon boss actually being killed by players. If there is no dungeon boss, it will be fine as long as no NPC kills him. ?" Yang Kai comforted him carelessly. "Are you okay? Do you still remember the memory problem I told you? You were still teasing me when we first met." Yi Xuan did not relax and asked with a serious face. "Memory? You mean Zhao Beifeng will be infused with new memories?" "It's more serious than that. The original memory disappears. Every time he dies, his memory will disappear a little. The last time I saw him, he gave it to me. The overall feeling is very dark, and this darkness is not only due to environmental factors, but also from himself." Yi Xuan said, recalling Zhao Beifeng's appearance when they last met. He even attacked him. Although the attack stopped after recognizing him, at that moment, Yi Xuan felt that Zhao Beifeng seemed to have become a stranger. Recalling that memory, Yi Xuan suddenly had a bad premonition about this journey. Yang Kai was also silent at this time. The original memory disappeared and new memories were injected. He was no stranger to having experienced all this. , that feeling is really far from pleasant. If it is true that according to Yi Xuan, every death is accompanied by the loss of memory, then it is really unclear what Zhao Beifeng is doing now. While the two of them were looking extremely solemn, several players in the direction of advancement approached curiously. "Excuse me, where are you going?" A player stood on one side of the team and shouted to Yi Xuan and Yang Kai. Yi Xuan looked up and saw that they were just a few minor characters and didn't even bother to speak. Said and walked directly over. Those players saw no response, but they were not disappointed. After all, Yi Xuan is still an NPC. This reaction is normal. Those players immediately focused their attention on the player troops behind them. After waiting for the mighty cavalry troops to pass by, the player troops behind them were immediately revealed. Several people followed them and found someone who looked easier to talk to. The priest asked with a smile, "Hey brother, where are you going?" The priest looked at them sideways. Although there were only five or six people, their levels were pretty good. They were all thirty-one and two, anyway. To attack the power of shadow, the more personnel the better. He immediately replied, "We are going to the Tower of Darkness. We are going to do plot missions. Do you want to come with us?" "Is that okay? No need to accept missions or anything?" The players said. Listening to it, I immediately became energetic. Recently, all the copies of the Eastern Plains were completed almost overnight.If they lost it, they would have to go to the bitter cold wilderness to find the dungeon. The dungeon there was difficult to complete, and the rewards were not necessarily generous. They were worried that they had no place to upgrade, but they didn't expect such a good mission to happen to them. . ¡°You don¡¯t need to accept it, it will be triggered automatically when the time comes. You just need to choose your camp.¡± A player who has done several story missions with Yi Xuan explained. Those people were overjoyed, and while following these people forward, they asked carefully what happened. In fact, along the way, Yi Xuan's team was like a huge snowball, growing bigger and bigger. There were already hundreds of players like them who joined halfway. It made Yi Xuan's team look stronger than when they first left the wilderness. Although Yi Xuan's team was long enough, the road was even longer. Looking at the boundless plain ahead, the journey seemed to have no end. The sun gradually turned westward and gradually coincided with the horizon, and the sky slowly dimmed. Yi Xuan looked forward and was about to find a place to camp. At this moment, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from far away on the road ahead. It looked like someone was riding a horse and running wildly. The opponent was coming very quickly, which made Yi Xuan frown. brow. "What's in front of you?" Yang Kai also noticed something unusual, but the team of thousands of people behind them now, although it was strange, they didn't pay attention to each other, and the team still moved forward leisurely. As the smoke came closer, he could see clearly, a group of more than ten people riding fast horses, "They are from the Empire." Yang Kai was the first to see where the other party came from. He was very familiar with the Empire's jersey, and the cavalry's The speed slowed down and stopped in front of Yi Xuan and Yang Kai. The leader immediately bowed slightly to Yi Xuan and Yang Kai as a salute, "Dear Sir, I was ordered by the superior to come here to inquire. You are leading so many people, but I don't know where you are going and what your intentions are. "Although it was a question, the cavalry's tone was very respectful and polite, and it sounded very comfortable. This was an additional effect brought about by Yi Xuan after he upgraded to the sixth level template. The attitude of all the NPs against him has obviously changed. When he became respectful, he was indeed the first official to crush someone to death. However, Yi Xuan is not a person who loves to be jealous. Even though he is a NP, he still respects me a foot and others a foot. He nodded slightly on his horse as a courtesy and said politely: "We are going to the Tower of Darkness to conquer. The evil Shadow Cult." After hearing what Yi Xuan said, the man immediately showed a happy expression on his face: "It turned out to be the Holy Light Knights who conquered the Shadow Cult. Our commander respects you very much, so please follow me. Come on, my commander has prepared the camp and accommodation for you. Let us comfort your army. What's more, Yi Xuan was a little surprised when he heard this. This was the first time for him. When they met, NPC took the initiative to help. Although it was a good thing, Yi Xuan felt a little uneasy in his heart. Even NPK was involved. Now the reputation of the Knights of Holy Light seemed to be much greater than before. Yi Xuan suddenly felt that things were a little out of touch. He was under control. But no matter what, he nodded and followed the man in the direction they came from, and the huge team followed half an hour later, when the sun finally disappeared on the horizon. At that time, the dusty expeditionary force finally came to the outside of a building in the plain. This castle built with strips of stone was still quite rough in shape, but it already felt very friendly when it was seen in this wilderness. The castle is the stronghold of the empire here. It has a small garrison and several bunkers for defense. There are basically all kinds of blacksmith shops and shops around the castle. At the same time, there are also many players leveling up nearby. Although Xuan had been here to clear dungeons before, he didn't know much about the surrounding terrain after walking around. At the location designated by the patrol, Yi Xuan arranged for his camp vehicle to be stationed, and he, Yang Kai, and Mary were stationed there. were invited to attend the welcome dinner hosted by the chief in the castle. They followed the knight who led them here through the gate of the castle and the square in the city, and arrived at the city lord's hall. Here, a banquet had already begun. A banquet was waiting for them. According to the living conditions at that time, there might not be any delicious food. As soon as Yi Xuan and the others entered the hall, they smelled the fragrant smell of barbecue. Mary, who had been absent for a long time, immediately couldn't stop. The living room started to swallow. The tall banquet hall was splendid, and the European-style candlestick chandeliers were complicated and luxurious. All the candles above were lit, illuminating the room as if it were daylight. The long table was already filled with delicious food. Roast chicken, barbecue, slices of bread, wine, and beautiful flowers decorated in the middle make these foods lacking in seasonings look so bright that Yi Xuan can't help but feel a little itchy. "Welcome to Glory Castle, I am. It's Sir Rexxar, the commander of the Castle of Glory, so are you the famous Elder Yixuan of the Knights of Holy Light? "Yixuan and the others had just entered the hall, and someone immediately came out to greet them. While introducing themselves loudly, they bowed and saluted to Yi Xuan and the others. "The man hurriedly bent down to return the favor. This Sir Rexxar was wearing a gorgeous aristocratic costume. It was obvious that he valued this banquet very much. Seeing that his words and demeanor were extraordinary, Yi Xuan felt a little more fond of him. Good impression. "Hello, Sir Rexxar, I am Yi Xuan, the elder of the Knights of Holy Light." Yi Xuan replied politely. "Thank you very much for your warm hospitality to us." "It is a great honor for me to serve the Knights of Holy Light." Sir remained polite and replied with a smile, but it seemed a bit hypocritical. Yi Xuan and his party stood there awkwardly, waiting for Jazz to let them sit down. However, Jazz continued: "It's just that I heard that you are going to lead volunteers to attack the Tower of Darkness. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to fight side by side with you. Well, I very much look forward to joining this expedition that is destined to be recorded in history.¡± System prompt: Sir Rexxar was inspired by your heroic deeds and hopes to join your expedition. Do you accept it? ¡°Hey, there is such a good thing? Send food, drinks and troops? Yi Xuan was a little bit carried away by this surprise, and he was about to accept it subconsciously, but suddenly his heart moved and he thought of another thing. The original agreement between him and Zhao Beifeng was that he would lead an army to attack the Dark Tower, but Zhao Beifeng deliberately let go. At that time, he and Zhao Beifeng were duel, and then Zhao Beifeng deliberately lost to him, so that he could arrest Zhao Beifeng, but after that, Zhao Beifeng would arrange for someone to rescue him. Although all these arrangements seem simple, there are always many variables. For example, when someone comes to rescue Zhao Beifeng, what should the players do if they resist desperately? For example, what if Sir Rexxar comes out to stop him? Yi Xuan has already thought of a solution to the variable player. When the time comes, he will find a way to dismiss the player or do other things. After all, the player will still listen to him. But this Sir Rexxar is not that simple. As an NP and the commander of a place, he is likely to act according to his own will. Will things go smoothly by then? Although it was only a short hesitation, Lexa still noticed something. "What? Is there any inconvenience? I thought that this kind of attack on evil requires more and better warriors." There was already a little displeasure in his tone. Hearing what he said, Yi Xuan couldn't refuse directly, but after all, Yi Xuan was a person who had experienced great storms, and he immediately thought of a solution. "Oh, of course not. Our team naturally needs warriors like you Sir, but as a soldier, you should understand that in any war, to win, you need many elements, the most important of which The most important thing is the rigor of discipline, especially in the process of fighting against the Shadow Cult. We need to unite as one, work hard in one place, and think in one place. You must know that a powerful warrior who does not obey orders is worse than one. An ordinary warrior who can obey the command will be more beneficial." Yi Xuan emphasized the necessity while giving Sir Rexxar a high hat. Lexa naturally nodded frequently: "You are right, an army without discipline is a mess." "Yes, yes, so of course I welcome you to join our team, but as a commander, once you join, If you do, you can no longer have your own will, everything must be aimed at combating the shadow forces, and you must strictly obey my commands and orders. I really feel that this is too unfair to you." Yi Xuan tried his best to be affectionate. Sincerely. "Hahaha, what do I mean?" Lexa laughed loudly after hearing this. "When I join your Holy Light Knights, I will naturally take your orders as my only standard of action. I have been serving the empire for decades. , I have absolutely no problem with obeying discipline, so don¡¯t worry, if you become my commander, I will naturally obey your command and there will be absolutely no objections. " Yi Xuan did not expect this Lexa. Sir had made all the mental preparations. It would be unreasonable if he still refused to accept it. He immediately stretched out his hand and said loudly, "Then welcome you to become a member of the Holy Light Voluntary Conquest Legion, Sir Rexxar." Rexxar. He also put away his smile and shook hands with Yi Xuan seriously, officially joining. The atmosphere immediately relaxed. Sir Lexa immediately invited everyone to sit down. Mary was the first to rush forward, fork a piece of beef and bring it in. In his mouth, he muttered while chewing: "You are talking so much, why don't you let people eat it if you don't join in, right?" Yi Xuan and Yang Kai sat down. Although Yi Xuan is the boss of the Knights of Holy Light, this is the place after all. It was Rexxa's territory, so Rexxar still took the throne. The two of them hadn't eaten such hot food for a long time. During the battlefield, the only thing they could eat was cold, hard meat, so they ate delicious food. Everyone's atmosphere immediately became extremely harmonious. After eating a few bites of the roasted chicken, although there were not many ingredients, the meat was tender and juicy, leaving a fragrant aroma on the cheeks. Yi Xuan took advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and asked casually: "Sir Lexa, I am very Strange, if you leave Glory Castle, who will manage this castle? " "Oh,"This is not a problem. Rexxar immediately said: "The empire has sent a new commander here." " "I'm here to replace you? "Yixuan was wondering. If Rexxar had the idea of ??joining the Knights of Light only today, how could the empire take action so quickly? But if not, could it be that he actually belongs to the empire when he joins his team? What does it mean? But Rexxar didn't hide it. He lowered his body and pretended to be mysterious and said to Yi Xuan: "Don't worry, I will join you without any worries. In fact, this is also the intention of our empire's senior officials. "As he spoke, he winked at Yi Xuan slightly, as if he understood. Yi Xuan understood that this was a sign of goodwill on behalf of the empire, but he didn't expect that the influence of the Holy Light Knights was already so great. The previous That faint worry immediately filled Yi Xuan's heart again. "Have you heard about it? "Sir Rexxar straightened up, grabbed a glass of wine next to him, took a sip, and said loudly: "There have been many strange phenomena in the Dark Tower recently. Adventurers suffered heavy casualties there, and a terrifying force is gradually awakening. This This power is said to be very ancient, even older than the history of the Dark Tower itself. " "You mean the shadow" Yi Xuan was about to answer, but was immediately stopped by Lexa with his hand. He looked around cautiously, as if someone was really eavesdropping, and then finally said mysteriously Said: "There are rumors circulating, it is said that the power comes from the God of Shadow, and there are subordinates of the God of Shadow in the Dark Tower. " Yi Xuanqiang calmly grabbed the wine glass and took a sip. Although his face was calm, his heart was already in turmoil. Has the power of the God of Shadows revived? If this was said by an NPC, then this The thing is probably true, because players may hear it from hearsay, but the memories of NPCs are basically placed by the system, so although it seems vague, it is actually definitely possible. ¡°It¡¯s impossible. "Yi Xuan tried his best to keep his tone relaxed: "The God of Shadows has long been beaten by the Knights of Holy Light, and only a little bit of his soul is left. If he wants to be resurrected, he must use the body of another person, and this person has to voluntarily sacrifice himself. It has to go through a series of very complicated rituals, how can it be resurrected so easily? Then Sir Rex seemed to be very dissatisfied with the news that Yi Xuan questioned himself, and immediately waved his hands and said: "You are right, at the time I When I heard the news, I was also very shocked, but to be honest, the person who told me the news was very reliable, and it had already alarmed the senior officials of the empire, so I think this matter is quite close. " Yi The reason why Xuan said that was just to test the authenticity of the information, so he didn't care about opposing Rexxar at this time. He looked surprised and worried. Although Zhao Beifeng's own identity was not concealed, many people knew that he was A member of the Dark God Cult, and his expedition this time was also carried out for this reason, but he had never discussed the resurrection of the Shadow God with Zhao Beifeng. According to their plan, the resurrection of the Shadow God should be Things that will only happen in a long, long time, but now these NPCs suddenly say such things, could it be that the system has made some kind of modification to the game plot? If the God of Shadow is really going to be resurrected in the Tower of Darkness, then who is the person presiding over all this? In the story they compiled, Zhao Beifeng was the only one in the Tower of Darkness who was a quasi-shadow force. It seems that this matter must be Zhao Beifeng, but Zhao Beifeng didn't mention it at all last time. In other words, either this incident was groundless, or Zhao Beifeng did not act according to the plan of the two of them. So is this incident one of his plans, or is Zhao Beifeng the cult member controlled by the Shadow Body? Yi Xuan's mind recalled all the weird scenes when he saw Zhao Beifeng last time, and he was even more worried. Lexa was very satisfied with Yi Xuan's reaction this time. It seemed that the information he told scared the Holy Light. The elder of the knights, so he did not stop talking and continued: "And according to the report of my scouts, the alliance seems to have noticed something now. Those elven troops are gradually gathering, as well as orcs, dwarves and other others. The troops on the other side are already at war with each other around the Dark Tower, but neither our empire nor the alliance dare to take action easily. Once we do, it will probably be a big war. By then, both of us will inevitably suffer losses. Even if we can win, I am afraid there will be After a lot of casualties, we will no longer have the strength to continue attacking the God of Shadow in the Tower of Darkness. Once the God of Shadow is resurrected, it will bring unprecedented disaster to the world. "He said this more. , Yi Xuan didn¡¯t listen too carefully, but he probably understood the meaning. People from the Alliance and the Empire were at war with each other around the Dark Tower. Everyone wanted to make a move, but they didn¡¯t dare to make a move. They were afraid of being stabbed in the back by the other party. knife. No wonder the Empire asked Sir Rexxar to join its expeditionary force. Although its expeditionary force has some imperial colors, overall it is still a neutral organization. In this wayIf the troops enter the Dark Tower, they will be relatively less sensitive, so the empire can seize the opportunity. Yi Xuan was a bit dissatisfied with the next banquet. What he was worried about was what happened to Zhao Beifeng in the Tower of Darkness. In fact, at this time, he could have used the Battle of the Great Sage to teleport in to find out, but Yi Xuan was worried about everything. Once Zhao Beifeng has really changed, I am afraid that his departure will be in danger. Even if Zhao Beifeng is fine, it is easy to teleport there by himself, but it will take a lot of trouble to come back, which will delay the process. After much deliberation, he decided to press Proceed as originally planned. One night passed quickly, and the next day, the team of the Holy Light Knights began to move forward again. This time, in addition to players and barbarians, another well-equipped team joined in. These are Sir Rexxar. In order to avoid revealing their identity too much, the soldiers of the Fort of Glory led by the soldiers took off their jerseys representing the camp. Although a discerning person can still tell that they are from the empire at a glance, they are not so obvious among the team. . The distance between Glory Castle and the Doomsday Wilderness is not too far. The team traveled for a day and finally arrived at the edge of the Doomsday Wilderness. From a distance, they could see the iconic tower building. Yi Xuan stood there. On the edge of the Doomsday Wilderness, staring at the Tower of Darkness, my heart seems to be covered with a layer of dark clouds like a tall tower. The Doomsday Wilderness is darker than before. It can be seen that the overall atmosphere is completely different from when I came here before. This kind of gloomy The center comes from the Tower of Darkness. Although the Tower of Darkness looked more eerie before to enhance the horror effect, compared with the complete darkness at this time, it is definitely on two levels. The entire Dark Tower is now covered with a thick layer of black mist-like substance, making it impossible to see details in the Dark Tower. This black mist evaporates and condenses, forming a large dark cloud at the top of the Dark Tower, even if it is large. It also blocks sunlight during the day. Not only the Tower of Darkness, but also the entire Doomsday Wilderness, the light became dim. "What's going on in the Doomsday Wilderness?" "It's going to rain. It's so rainy." There was a lot of gossip in the player team, and everyone seemed a little uneasy looking at this strange Doomsday Wilderness. Yi Xuan did not stay for too long. The more this happened, the more he had to face it. The team stepped into the shadows. Yi Xuan immediately discovered something was wrong. The weeds on the ground had already withered, and there was a layer of lifeless black and yellow. , not far away you can see some rotten corpses with only white bones left. The surroundings are deathly silent, not even a bird is flying, and there is no sound of wind. Everything seems to be frozen, and the entire apocalyptic wilderness seems to be the end of the world. General silence. Yi Xuan raised his head and looked at the ubiquitous black clouds in the Doomsday Wilderness. As a person who can control shadow energy, he could clearly feel that those clouds were not ordinary clouds, but were made of pure shadow energy. Who is it that can actually mobilize such huge shadow energy? His heart sank. It seemed that what happened to the God of Shadows was very likely to be true. Zhao Beifeng might really have a problem. He just didn't know if the plan could go smoothly this time. I hope he still retains a trace of it. Be rational and be able to coordinate your actions. After advancing for a while in this dead silence, the players behind Yi Xuan became more and more restless. "I said, why aren't there even any monsters today? Aren't there usually the most monsters here?" "Yeah, I just saw one poking his head behind the rock, as if he was frightened by something. "What can scare these monsters? It's better to be scared by them." Some individual players commented loudly. Although there were no monsters, the road ahead became smoother, but this inexplicable sense of depression made them feel depressed. I was still very unhappy, and I vented my anger by talking loudly like this. They pay attention to relatively superficial things, compared to the issues discussed by the bosses of several teams over there, which are much more profound. Send you to see God. He looked up at the dark clouds in the sky for a long time, lowered his head and spit, "I said, the plot seems to have changed a lot this time. Look at the dark clouds on the Tower of Darkness. They were so beautiful when I came here last time." Not yet. It seems that it is just for the change of the Shadow God Religion. Being able to participate in such a plot this time is a worthwhile trip." Long Xingtianxia nodded and said with a little worry, "You are right. , but to be honest, the development of this plot is what we expected from the beginning. But judging from the number of people participating this time, it will probably be more difficult for us to benefit from it. " I'll send you there. Seeing God, he immediately came over: "Yes, so this time I think we should join forces. The strength of our two guilds is pretty good, but with the current scale, it is definitely impossible to be alone. If we join forces, , Just us people, if we unite together, we will fight against each other, I tell you, absolutely." Long Xingtianxia turned around and looked at Sha Wusheng, who nodded slightly, if these two major guilds unite,Not to mention, at least the death toll will definitely be reduced a lot. Long Xingtianxia then nodded and said: "Okay, then it's settled." As we get closer and closer to the Dark Tower, day and night The boundaries seemed to become blurred. By the time we reached the foot of the Tower of Darkness, the surroundings were completely shrouded in shadow. If it weren't for the dim light of the sky next to it, it would really be like marching in the night. There is darkness everywhere. Only when you look into the distance, you can still see some sunshine in places where the shadows cannot cover it. It feels like being shrouded by an extremely huge umbrella. "Look, there are a lot of people under that tower." A sharp-eyed player shouted. In fact, Yi Xuan had already seen that under the Tower of Darkness, not far away in the direction opposite them, there was also a large army slowly marching this way, but judging from the colors of the names on their heads But they are all red. They are members of the Alliance. An idea immediately came to Yi Xuan's mind. This was a bit bad. He didn't expect that the alliance was also involved, and looking at the dark area, the number was not much less than his. Is the other party a friend or an enemy? Yi Xuan's mind was spinning, but he did not order to stop advancing. What the team wanted was morale. If he stopped first, it would seem that he was afraid of them, so the army continued to move forward, and the two teams gradually gathered together. The two teams arrived at the gate of the Dark Tower almost at the same time and stood facing each other. From a distance, Yi Xuan could clearly see the appearance of the hero leading the alliance. He saw that this man had a handsome face. With a charming face, pointed ears, elegant manners, and a golden armor, who else could it be if it weren't for Edward? Seeing Yi Xuan, Edward smiled leisurely and didn't seem surprised at all. The two horses were only five miles apart. Meters apart, both of them stopped. "You're here?" Edward said to Yi Xuan with a smile. "You're here too." Yi Xuan frowned, but his tone was not so friendly. The two people stood facing each other on horseback. The soldiers, players and heroes behind them all formed fighting formations. The atmosphere suddenly changed. The situation became tense.
