---
After walking out of the training ground and on the way to the assembly, Li Tianlan finally learned about the top-secret operation that had been operating secretly for a month.
The power of the whole country, the plan of the whole country.
Within a month, the Snow Dance Legion was established and included all the elite organizations in Central Continent.
Crossed eastward, marched westward, and descended to North America.
They are just the first elites of the Snow Dance Legion.
No one knows how many more people will follow.
But if the goal that the whole country has set out to achieve cannot be achieved, Zhongzhou will definitely not give up.
How many elites will be involved in this operation to the end? How many thunder realm masters? How many invincible masters are there
Central Continent, Eastern Island, North America, Western Europe.
The turbulent momentum composed of four battlefields is about to sweep across the entire dark world.
For the first time, Li Tianlan felt the surging and heavy power. Some people were secretly building momentum, and some were secretly brewing. When the general trend was about to rise, whether it was the elites of the Ice Ning Realm or the masters of the Invincible Realm, they were all rumbling and moving. As part of the general trend, there is no retreat. You can't help but move forward.
Li Tianlan took a deep breath.
His battlefield is on the East Island, which can be said to be the most critical place in the entire operation.
Furu Senkawa sniped at Gense's forces in Western Europe.
Situ Cangyue sniped at the Templars' power in North America.
Instead of attacking their headquarters, they attack their important branches. Such a move may in the end provoke the alliance between Huanshi and the Knights Templar, but at least in the beginning, the two superpowers will have no control over Gu Qianchuan and Situ Cangyue. This kind of behavior of helping them eliminate dissidents will still be acquiesced. By the time the two major forces join forces, it may have reached the end of this operation.
But East Island is different.
Gu Qianchuan was targeting the dark power of North America in Western Europe, while Situ Cangyue was targeting the power of Western Europe in North America, so there was huge room for maneuver.
As for their trip to the East Island, they could be said to be under high pressure from the very beginning.
Become the enemy of the entire East Island!
"Is there any chance of winning?"
Li Tianlan thought for a long time before asking in a calm tone.
"A seven-point chance of winning."
Although the knight no longer called him Master Li Tianlan, before walking, he still instinctively trailed him half a step, and his tone was calm to a somewhat respectful level.
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "How many people can we have in Dongdao? One thousand? Two thousand? Even if it increases to 10,000 in the end, won't we be the opponent of Dongdao? How far can we go? Is this considered a victory?”
"That's not how it works."
The knight spoke softly and smiled: "This is not a large-scale open war. The war in the dark world lies in penetration and concealment. Our trip is considered to be the enemy of the entire East Island, but it can be said that it is not."
She paused and seemed to think carefully before continuing: "For example, in our reincarnation, if the reincarnation is crossing eastward and the soldiers are directed at Kunlun City, even if Zhongzhou gives support to Kunlun City, it will be secret support. Everyone in the dark world knows it. There is Kunlun City and the City of Sighs in Central Continent, but Central Continent does not recognize it. They only recognize that the God of War in Central Continent is Gu Xingyun. On the surface, Kunlun City does not have much to do with Central Continent. This is the special warfare system. Concealment.”
"so?"
Li Tianlan lit a cigarette and his tone rose slightly.
"So since they can't admit it, when the reincarnation army is pointing directly at Kunlun City, Zhongzhou can't speak out in the open about Kunlun City. They can send experts to target the reincarnation, but all the rules are the rules of the dark world. Once the line is crossed, , it’s a real war. Thousands of us are no match for Dongdao, but with Zhongzhou’s current national strength, it won’t even take a month to destroy Dongdao, and Dongdao doesn’t dare to gamble.”
Li Tianlan nodded. It was not difficult for him to understand what the knight meant. There were basically no rules in the dark world, but once the rules were established, breaking them would lead to countless serious consequences.
Kunlun City belongs to Zhongzhou, but Kunlun City is not included in the official voice of Zhongzhou.
Naturally, Central Continent will not do this for no reason. The Dark World can be said to be the collective name for all kinds of shady people and forces. Kunlun City has done countless things for Central Continent in recent years, and I don’t know how many countries have gritted their teeth, but on the surface , Zhongzhou has nothing to do with Kunlun City. They are looking for trouble in Kunlun City, but they can't find Zhongzhou. This is a conflict in the dark world.
But once Zhongzhou uses his official power to help Kunlun City, the relationship between the two will be confirmed. I am afraid that many people will come to Zhongzhou with old accounts and ask for an explanation. The so-called true The war may start because of this.
The same is true for Dongdao's special operations system.
The Eidolons were a force they had raised many years ago. Now the Snow Dance Legion wants to take advantage of the Eidolons' foundation in the East Island. Even if the East Island side disagrees, they can't do it openly.
Because this is a matter between Xue Wu Legion and Ye Ling, Dongdao will secretly send experts to compete with Xue Wu Legion, but on the surface, they can only pretend that they don’t know anything. Once Dong Dao gets involved with Ye Ling, then Xue Wu Legion will The Dance Corps will be related to Zhongzhou, and Dongdao cannot afford such consequences.
Therefore, during their trip to Dongdao, the opponent they faced was not Dongdao, but countless masters of Dongdao's special warfare system.
This may not sound like much of a difference, but in reality the difference is heaven and earth.
"Reincarnation Palace, Kunlun City, City of Sighs, Snow Dance Legion, Knights Templar, Fantasy World... This is just the beginning. As the situation changes, I don't know how many forces will be involved in the future. Knight, you tell me Should I graduate from Sky Academy now and again when I come back?"
Li Tianlan sighed softly and laughed at himself: "I haven't had classes for a few days."
"Won't."
The knight smiled and said: "We are just going to open up the situation this time. When the time is right, someone will come forward."
The words were vague, but Li Tianlan didn't ask any more questions.
As one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Palace of Reincarnation, the knight may know a lot, or he may know very little.
Li Tianlan doesn't know anything at the moment, but there are some questions that he doesn't need to ask too clearly.
This is the battle between the major superpowers in the dark world.
But for him, it is also a competition for the younger generation of Central Continent.
What he wants to do is not to participate in the intrigues and tricks in the general trend of the competition.
Under the general trend, being willing to lie dormant and go against the current is what he should do most.
"I am willing to be a chess piece, not to jump out of the chessboard, but to move forward indomitably."
On the way to the gathering place, Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
The knight smiled slightly and said nothing.
... ...
When the two arrived at the gathering place, the fifty Sky Academy elites who had participated in the special training had already stood in a neat queue. In front of the queue was a high platform, with shelves set up under the high platform, and dozens of wine bowls placed on it. But the lights above the high platform were empty, and no senior executive had appeared yet. "That's my place."
The knight pointed to the high platform and said in harsh Chinese: "I'm going."
Li Tianlan nodded slightly.
"Tianlan, here, this way, this way."
At the back of the queue, Li Baitian's tall and thin figure like a bamboo pole appeared in Li Tianlan's eyes. He waved his hands vigorously, smiled brightly, and looked proud.
Li Tianlan turned his eyes and saw Li Baitian. He also saw Ning Qiancheng, Ye Huayu, Yu Qingyan, and Xu Chu, who was standing at the back of the group but attracted more attention than anyone else.
We haven’t seen each other for more than a month. Everyone seems to have changed little, but their auras have become much stronger. Li Tianlan felt a little warm in his heart and walked over quickly. Originally, he wanted to bypass the crowd, but when he saw him walking over, in front of him In the queue, the two students at the front hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative to move out of the way.
Li Tianlan was slightly startled.
The next second, the queue completely separated and everyone made way.
Li Tianlan walked through the crowd with a surprised look on his face, looked at Li Baitian and said, "What's going on?"
He may be somewhat famous among the freshmen now, but it's not enough to make everyone fear him like a tiger, right
"They were all frightened by Senior Brother."
Li Baitian chuckled, walked over and hugged Xu Chu's shoulders affectionately.
Xu Chu is tall and generous, while Li Baitian is thin and slim. Standing together, the two of them look really funny.
"Master."
When Xu Chu saw Li Tianlan's eyes sweeping over him, he let out a dull look.
"I have discussed with Baitian, and the senior brother will join the Donghuang Palace. However, we are very small at the moment. The senior brother will follow you first to protect your safety. This is also his original intention."
Ning Qiancheng glanced at Li Tianlan and explained.
Li Tianlan nodded slightly. Although he was still a little confused about Xu Chu, it was not a bad thing for this fierce general to join the Donghuang Palace. He took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile: "Welcome, since we are all our own people, don't call us anything in the future." Master, just call me by my name."
Xu Chu shook his head, did not shake hands, but bowed again and said solemnly: "The young master is the young master."
Regarding this stubbornness, Li Tianlan couldn't say anything more for a while. He just nodded casually and stood among a few people and said nothing more.
"Hey, Tianlan, you didn't know this month that Senior Brother is really fierce. No matter whether he is a freshman or an old student, basically no one can block his punch. Even Fan Haoyu didn't dare to hit him when he swung his fist. Take this, the peak master of the Burning Fire Realm, so fierce and powerful, he can now be said to be the number one master of our Donghuang Palace."
Li Baitian stood next to Li Tianlan and chuckled, vaguely seeming to have some pretentiousness.
"What about you? What have you gained in the past month?"
Li Tianlan stared at the high platform in front of him and asked with a chuckle.
"We are okay, but the worst thing is Qing Yan. In the past month or so, Director Qin has made Qing Yan miserable. Qian Cheng, who is distressed, doesn't want any of it. Gaga, Qian Cheng said that we are celebrating when we arrive at the East Island. "
Li Baitian laughed strangely.
celebrate
Li Tianlan was confused. Looking at Yu Qingyan again, he found that this innocent and weak girl was different from a month ago. She was still the same, but the clarity in those clear eyes was still the same, but the innocence had been replaced by determination.
Li Tianlan followed his hand and looked over. In his sight, Ning Qiancheng and Yu Qingyan's palms were tightly held together, their fingers interlocked.
Li Tianlan looked astonished and said with a smile: "You should indeed be congratulated and get drunk."
He looked at Ning Qiancheng's unnatural expression and said jokingly, "You're so fast, you've only been here for a month."
Yu Qingyan's face turned red, she lowered her head and said nothing, but she did not relax holding Ning Qiancheng's hand.
Ning Qiancheng coughed dryly and changed the subject seriously: "Tianlan, how have you been in the past month or so? Have you made a breakthrough?"
"The ice is frozen, and the harvest is great."
Li Tianlan smiled and nodded. Before Ning Qiancheng could say congratulations, Li Baitian beside him started to get angry without hesitation: "Tianlan, your level is a bit low. I thought you could enter the Burning Fire. Look. Geniuses like Brother Lai are indeed hard to come by, come on, come on, let you see this."
He said this and stretched out his hand directly.
A flame burst out from his palm. The flame surged and finally condensed into an unusually solid and exquisite fire sword in his palm.
The hot and nihilistic sword intent emitted, empty and sharp.
Gather fire and form an army!
This is already a sign of the stable period of the Burning Fire Realm.
Li Tianlan's eyes lit up slightly.
Li Baitian continued: "So, I should be the second master of Donghuang Palace now."
Li Tianlan twitched the corner of his mouth and reached out to cover Li Baitian's palm casually.
The flaming sword in Li Baitian's palm was still there, but all the sword intent froze in an instant.
The water in Li Tianlan's palm filled the air, and the fire in Li Baitian's palm had completely disappeared.
"Let's be honest and rank third."
Li Tianlan chuckled, looked at Li Baitian who was stunned, and said with a chuckle: "The leader is here, stop talking nonsense."
In sight, a row of figures stepped onto the high platform one after another.
Li Tianlan's eyes narrowed slightly.
At the front, a man with an ordinary appearance but extremely energetic eyes walked in the front. Beside him, a young figure who was alluring in the country walked side by side with him.
At this moment, she seemed to be the only one on the high platform, cold and cold, but dazzling. For a moment, everyone felt dazzled, and even subconsciously ignored the other figures on the high platform, even the knight, a foreigner. The appearance of women on stage did not cause much discussion or sensation.
Only Li Tianlan's eyes remained calm.
He took a deep look at the middle-aged man at the front and remained calm.
Ye Dongsheng!
Except for the time at the border, this was the second time he saw the military god of Central Continent.
Zhuang Huayang, Qin Ke, Gu Yunxia, Jie, Leishen, all the top executives appeared one by one. Li Tianlan even saw Wang Xiaoyao at the end.
His eyes slowly turned around, and finally rested on Qin Weibai, who was walking side by side with Ye Dongsheng, with gentle eyes.
The whole queue was silent.
"Sister-in-law is indeed too pretty, Tianlan, you are such a tragedy."
Li Baitian looked at Qin Weibai, shook his head and sighed, with a sad expression on his face: "What kind of woman will make you interested in having sex in the future? Your starting point is too high."
Li Tianlan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just looked at her intently on the high platform, as if she were a fairy descending to earth. He felt calmer than ever before.
Qin Weibai was also looking at him, smiling softly. The moment they looked at each other, it seemed that they were each other's entire world.
On and off stage.
Senior officials and students saluted each other.
Ye Dongsheng, who was at the front, glanced around and finally stopped at Li Tianlan, and his somewhat solemn eyes seemed to soften.
Zhongzhou and Samsara conspired with East Island. Samsara asked for too little, so little that all the senior executives had some doubts, and even some radical senior executives thought it was a conspiracy of Samsara.
However, Li Tianlan was also on Dongdao's list, which also allowed some people to suppress their inner doubts.
The Master of Samsara Palace went straight to the Emperor's Arms Mountain for Li Tianlan, and even died with the Beihai Wang family. This was evident in his protection of Li Tianlan. With Li Tianlan around, even though the senior officials of Central Continent were suspicious, they finally decided to launch this operation. However, in the following time, , Li Tianlan is bound to become the focus of their attention.
His eyes swept over Li Tianlan, and he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone."
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Weibai and fell on Ye Dongsheng.
Amidst countless jealous or fiery glances, Qin Weibai seemed to realize something and took a step back calmly, blocking everyone's view of her.
Ye Dongsheng's warm and gentle voice continued to ring on the high platform and floated into everyone's ears: "Everyone, this operation is related to the overall situation of our Central Continent, and even to our national destiny. At the airport three kilometers behind me , the plane is ready, and in forty minutes, all students will set off with your mission to the East Island."
"I don't know what you will see and hear next, but I can tell you for sure that this trip will be a test for each of you. You will bleed, sacrifice, and bury your bones in a foreign land. You may encounter all kinds of things. Desperate situation and danger. On the East Island, you represent Central Continent. Similarly, on the East Island, you are the enemy of the entire East Island."
He paused and continued: "Comrades from the Frontier Corps and the Eastern Theater Command secretly set out a week ago. You will be the last batch of the first batch of human beings. Before setting off, I would like to ask, for Is there anyone who wants to quit this operation?”
silence.
There was silence.
Ye Dongsheng waited quietly for more than a minute before continuing: "It seems that no one intends to give up this operation. You all know what your own choice means, so I don't need to say more. I will tell you at the end. In a sentence, if you go to the East Island, you will be the most elite warriors in Central Continent! The East Island is the front line and the battlefield. There are no deserters on the battlefield. You can now withdraw from this operation, the Sky Academy, and the special operations system, but after going to the battlefield, To withdraw is tantamount to treason, do you understand?"
"clear!"
The fifty colleges in the audience spoke in unison. It was a voice that was not loud, but was extremely firm and unshakable.
Ye Dongsheng took a deep breath and suddenly waved his hand.
On the shelves under the high platform, all the wine bowls flew up, accurately floating in front of every student and in front of every senior executive on the high platform.
Ye Dongsheng picked up the wine bowl and smiled: "Sing to the wine. I will wait for you all to return in triumph in Zhongzhou. When the time comes, I will sing a song in person to celebrate your victory."
He held the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.
Following his actions, everyone drank the wine in front of them.
"In this expedition for the country, I hope you will persevere and die a worthy death."
Ye Dongsheng put down his wine bowl, faced the audience, raised his hands solemnly, and performed a military salute.
Arms on and off the stage were raised in unison.
The atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
"Set off."
Ye Dongsheng put down his arms and said bluntly.
There were no heroic words to boost morale. The oath before departure was more like a farewell.
Send them to die.
If you keep moving forward, you will die well.
This is the cruel and bloody dark world.
The elite deserve to die.
Soldiers deserve death!
The queue in the audience walked towards the airport in silence.
The senior officials on the stage also stepped down one by one.
Jie, Thor, Qin Ke, Gu Yunxia, Knight...
These are all Thunder Realm masters heading to the East Island.
Along with these masters, Qin Weibai also stepped down.
The senior executives who stayed on the stage looked at Qin Weibai in surprise, but said nothing more.
In full view of everyone, Qin Weibai walked down the steps softly.
The queue passed in silence.
When Qin Weibai walked down the last step, Li Tianlan and others in the Donghuang Palace were about to pass by the high platform.
Li Tianlan's body stopped, looking at the peerless beauty in front of him who seemed not to belong to the mortal world, he chuckled and said, "When did you come back?"
"Just arrived."
Qin Weibai said softly, his eyes deep and nostalgic: "It's much taller."
Li Tianlan nodded and said vaguely: "That medicine is very useful."
"But he's still not as handsome as before."
Qin Weibai said again.
Li Tianlan didn't understand, but didn't think much about it.
Qin Weibai took a step forward, straightened his collar, and said softly: "Be careful, the knight and Ranhuo will protect you at any time. If nothing can be done, you might as well give up on them. No matter what, you will To live.”
The knight was standing next to Qin Weibai, and his expression didn't change at all when he heard this.
Li Tianlan nodded slightly, reached out his hand, shook Qin Wei's cold white hand and said, "It's okay. I received your medicine, don't worry."
Qin Weibai chuckled, and suddenly took a step forward again, hugged Li Tianlan's neck with his hands, and pressed his red and pretty mouth directly on Li Tianlan's mouth.
Delicate, strong, and domineering.
What does the world's opinion have to do with her
In her world, there was always only Li Tianlan.
It was before and it will be in the future.
Everyone was stunned.
Li Baitian whistled and shouted, looking excited.
Ning Qiancheng and others clapped vigorously and looked extremely happy.
Li Tianlan subconsciously hugged Qin Weibai's waist and kissed her seriously and carefully.
On the high platform, only Wang Xiaoyao looked bitter. It was not embarrassment or anger, but a feeling of loss and confusion that was so lonely that he felt deep in his bones.
The woman in the audience who was held in his arms and kissed was really something he really liked, even loved.
In the iron-blooded atmosphere between heaven and earth, there was suddenly a touch of tenderness.
a long time.
Long.
The silent kiss finally ended.
Qin Weibai hugged Li Tianlan's neck tightly and breathed quietly: "I'll wait for you to come back. There will be a reward when the time comes."
Li Tianlan patted Qin Weibai on the back and hummed.
The student team finally passed the high platform completely.
Qin Weibai stood motionless for a long time, looking at Li Tianlan's disappearing back.
"Go ahead."
Under the high platform, Qin Weibai suddenly spoke.
The knight who had been standing next to Qin Weibai responded and was about to leave.
"remember."
Qin Weibai's cold voice sounded: "You can die, but nothing will happen to my man."
The knight paused for a moment, turned around again, bowed deeply to Qin Weibai and said, "I will not give up even if I die."
