The history of the mainland that can be tested is divided into four different eras by people.
They are... the ancient era when the five great empires rose one after another; the medieval era when the abyss frenzy broke out for the first time; the ancient era when the Papal kingdom suddenly emerged; and the current era when the three pillars of the Federation were born.
Every major era in human history is divided into five thousand years as a cycle, which is called an evolutionary era by mainland historians.
I don't know whether it is coincidence or inevitable. In the two thousand and five hundred years before the epoch, mankind seems to usher in tremendous development and present unprecedented prosperity again and again.
But every time in the next two thousand five hundred years, unexpected changes are bound to occur.
Whether it was the disintegration of the five ancient empires, the sudden attack of the abyss frenzy, or the sudden rise of the Creation Cult and the Papal State, or even the successful establishment of the subversive government of the Federation.
In the last two thousand five hundred years of each Yanji, it seems that drastic changes that people can't even imagine will happen.
And the news about the abyss frenzy, after all, has received high-level attention from all countries, undoubtedly also have this factor.
After all, according to the history of the mainland, it is now the 17th,963th year of the mainland calendar, or... it is just two thousand five hundred years after the Fourth Evolution.
This is a time when, in terms of historical progress, it seems that there will always be some unexpected events.
So even if it is something like the abyss frenzy that has not been seen for thousands of years, people will still subconsciously find it difficult to veto, and become more and more entangled in its possibility in their hearts.
And now everyone who is in distress at heart, they don’t really understand:
This summer, which has been repeated more than 17,000 times, is actually not different from most previous summers... And in this summer, everyone who can make choices is actually standing at the intersection of the times. on.
At that moment in that year, every action of every character has the possibility of affecting the course of history.
It's just that the people at the time obviously didn't notice all of this.
For most people on the mainland, while their eyes were fixed on the results of the Abyss Exploration Group's investigation, there were only a few trivial things that happened on the continent of Paroroa at their feet.
Those are a few small things that seem extremely trivial, and even have no connection with each other, but they are also... "small things" that may completely reverse the future of the mainland!
…
On the mainland for 17963 years, a tyrannical squad of the Devil suddenly attacked a fortress stationed by the Federation at the periphery of the abyss.
It was a squad of Demon that obviously had a very strong average strength, and it was also a squad composed of several types of Demon at the same time, and it was a strange squad whose core purpose was completely mysterious.
This extremely powerful team of Demons, after they took the lead in provoking an offensive against the Federation, did not carry out any substantive plunder or encroachment. Instead, after hurriedly defeating the fortress defense, he retreated without looking back, neither blindly slaughtering the Federation soldiers who defended the city, nor continued to expand their results.
And if this happens only once, the Federation can barely explain it as a tentative behavior, and will not really pay much attention to it.
But in fact, this Asian Demon team seemed to enjoy it. Soon after attacking the last defensive point, it suddenly appeared outside another fortress in the distance, and once again launched to the next defensive point. attack.
In just three or four days, they even attacked seven federal fortresses or defensive points one after another, making it difficult for the Federation to look away even if they didn't want to pay attention to their existence.
Even this sub-demon squad, they also specially selected the kind of small, unimportant strongholds to attack, so that even if the Federation wanted to guard against the dead, it would not take into account the extremely small enclaves.
There is no doubt that after the joint suppression of the three kingdoms more than a thousand years ago, the Yamo people have not dared to provoke humanity for thousands of years. Even in the back ground, certain extreme tribes still secretly looted the human border. But they will undoubtedly cover up this kind of news to death, and they will never let human beings notice anything.
Therefore, an arrogant attack like the one in front of him is obviously already blatantly provoking the face of the Federation. Even if the federation does not understand the purpose of the other party at all, it still has to use force to show its majesty.
So the Blade Forest Corps, which was the closest to the abyss among the four major regiments, naturally immediately organized a vast cavalry team and rushed directly beyond the border of the Federation.
At the same time, trying to destroy this arrogant team of demon from both materially and spiritually.
However, what was even more strange was that just as the Blade Forest Corps had just reacted, the team of the Devil that had been crazy and provocative suddenly disappeared in the barren land outside the federal border.
It was as if they had never existed before, even more weird than their appearance... He gave up the continued attack and disappeared forever before the blade of the Blade Forest Corps hadn't unsheathed.
Everything is like a farce.
Except for the Blade Forest Corps to deploy a large number of troops to the border, and at the same time the Speaker's Mansion received countless weird feedbacks, it seemed that it never caused any other abnormal changes.
Curious and deliberately... so confusing!
…
And also at the border of the Federation, just when the raiding Demon appeared, in the position closer to the abyss, in the observation fortress of the papal kingdom, in fact, another kind of abnormality also occurred.
"When did he disappear from your eyes?"
On the fortress where the lone rock was suspended, a certain person who was punished and left behind has now disappeared strangely before everyone's eyes.
"When we sent dinner yesterday, it was the last time we confirmed Qin Wuji's existence, but this morning he has completely disappeared, leaving no clues at all."
"And most importantly, because his identity is quite special after all, no matter whether it is in the corridor outside his room or the direction of the window, obviously there are more than one group of people watching closely. But all of them last night Not only did he not notice Qin Wuji's departure, but he did not even notice the slightest change."
"I'm afraid Qin Wuji himself... is not an ancient martial arts knight based on the information at all, but an agile knight who is best at stealth and stealth!"
When the commander of the fortress heard this, he was also extremely troubled by Qin Wuji who disappeared before his eyes.
Even compared to Qin Wuji's disappearance, the alchemy teleporter that exists in the fortress is even more important, and it can't tolerate any mistakes.
"Strengthen the defense in the fortress, and send more people to protect the alchemy teleporter. Don't worry about Qin Wuji's existence. He can't leave this fortress anyway, so just let him hide in the shadows."
"And the most important thing is... we must completely conceal the news that the exploratory team has lost contact for many days from the entourage of the other two major countries."
"Once the news leaks, I am afraid that things will no longer be in our control!"
…
However, neither the harassment on the federal border nor the strangeness of Qin Wuji in the Papal State Fortress did not attract more people's attention.
But on the entire continent today, the most important piece of news besides the exploration of the abyss is instead the rumors from within the Longtuo Empire.
"Have you heard? The ancestor dragon on the cold iron stone plain seems to have some kind of violence, so that your majesty will have to send all the dragon knights over, otherwise he will not be able to cope with the movements of the ancestor dragons."
A merchant walking in the empire was talking to the coachman beside him.
"In this way, it seems that the abyss frenzy is really about to come, otherwise the imperial ancestor dragon is so tyrannical, and there are other reasons for riots."
For the entire empire, the cold iron stone original is undoubtedly an extremely sacred and mysterious existence.
That special force defending the land of the ancestral dragons, on the one hand, is to guard against the reversal of the ancestors, and on the other hand, it also organizes the eyes of anyone trying to explore.
So much so that the words about the cold iron stone original have already become vague words similar to legends, which are spread among people like bizarre stories.
However, no matter how bizarre these stories are, what the traders say is indeed information that the entire empire knows.
At the same time that the new year arrived on the mainland, some changes had taken place in the cold iron stone original, and this kind of thing had undoubtedly been confirmed long ago. Although no one knew, it was precisely because of Su Mu's release of the old dragon man. But everyone knew that the ancestor dragons of the cold iron stone plain had indeed undergone some changes.
Therefore, the latest rumors about the ancestor dragons, along with the fact that the imperial dragon knights were mobilized in large numbers, spread from different places.
It’s hard not to believe... this so-so message!
After all, the abyss frenzy that is about to sweep across the continent seems to have become more and more approaching to the human world, so even if it is as powerful as an empire, it probably also needs to prioritize certain internal problems.
Therefore, no one now doubts the true whereabouts of the Imperial Dragon Knight; naturally, no one knows the real scene in today's cold iron stone plain.
After all, the cold and lonely place named Cold Iron Stone Plain, even the imperial soldiers with extremely strong willpower, had to go only if they were punished. As for ordinary empire civilians, let alone go to the cold iron stone plain at will, even if they are close to the edge of that area, they will choose to retreat under the wind and snow all year round.
No one knows what happened on the cold iron stone plain.
Naturally, no one knew whether the imperial dragon knight had reached that bleak land.
The only thing people know is... The imperial military is indeed constantly dispatching manpower and repeatedly adjusting the state of the imperial army, as if it is indeed preparing for the confrontation against the abyss frenzy! ()
