Feng Aotian is the protagonist? Take it!

He drew out the big sword from his back, smiled evilly, and walked towards Xilan.

"Hey, I advise you to kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise I won't be able to stop the force of my sword."

The burly bodyguard's tone was full of oppression, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

In front of the 2-meter-tall man, Xi Lan was so small. When he approached, a huge shadow covered Xi Lan.

Faced with such a huge physical difference, people became worried about Xi Lan's situation and their faces turned pale in an instant.

"Kid, stop being so stubborn and just run away..."

At the moment when the old lady was persuading Xi Lan like this, Xi Lan swung the sword casually. With a dull "clang" sound, the sword hit the burly man's waist at an extremely fast speed.

The burly man didn't even have time to react. He just flew out on the spot without even a scream, and flew towards the distant north.

"Next!" Xi Lan glared at the 19 bodyguards.

"Varied------!?"

Seeing the burly man flying away, all the people present were stunned, and Wu Shuang and others were also shocked with their eyes wide open and almost dropped their jaws.

"How is this possible!?"

The most shocked person was Wu Shuang. He had never expected that the strengthened Spirit Realm fighters would be so vulnerable in front of Xi Lan.

Suddenly, not only Wu Shuang, but even the remaining 19 bodyguards felt fear of Xi Lan.

The burly man's realm is the middle level of the spiritual realm, while Xi Lan is in the late peak of the spiritual realm. Under the same enhancement multiples, Xi Lan's strength will be much stronger than the other.

What's more, the strengthening of crispy soybeans is detrimental, while Xilan's magic sword can not only greatly enhance Xilan's aura, but also greatly strengthen her physical functions.

Before, Xi Lan could lift Zhang Liang’s 5-ton shirt with one hand, but facing the 300-pound strong man who didn’t resist, that was simply child’s play.

As a shrewd businessman, Wu Shuang could naturally find that something was wrong. As the saying goes, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Moreover, if one were to give each of the 19 bodyguards a Mr. Muscle pill, that would be a huge amount of money and not worth it.

If you want to defeat the woman in front of you, you must at least prepare stronger fighting force. Before gathering the fighting force to fight against her, you should not become her enemy.

A real man can shrink and stretch.

Perhaps because Xi Lan looked kind and not a belligerent person, Wu Shuang turned his back calmly and shouted in a contemptuous tone:

"Oh, I don't want to make a big deal out of this! I just want to see how long you can hold out! Let's go!"

Hearing Wu Shuang say he was leaving, his 19 bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief. Xi Lan's main goal was to drive them away, and she had no intention of pursuing them.

Seeing Wu Shuang leave like this, the people raised the international friendly gesture to him and booed.

no doubt.

For Wu Shuang, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost face.

Wu Shuang turned his back and clenched his fists. He was extremely angry at the people's behavior and his murderous intent became even stronger.

······

After 2 hours.

With the joint cooperation of Xilan, Hengyu and Yunyun, the relief station restored its original order and fresh and clean food was produced.

but···

Even though the people received delicious food, after what had just happened, their faces were still full of sorrow and they kept groaning.

Just as Wu Shuang said.

Although no one said it out loud, they all knew in their hearts that if Hua Jie provided free food to the people like she did, she would not be able to sustain it for more than a few days.

In other words.

A few days later... everyone had no food to eat.

If no one fights against the Dihao Club...

Thinking of this, the people wailed again and were filled with despair about the future.

Even now.

They still kept repeating in their hearts: "If only Zhang Liang were still alive..."

······

three days later.

As more and more people ran out of savings, the number of people being rescued at relief stations increased from a few thousand to 2 people a day, and everyone was extremely busy.

Fortunately.

With Xi Lan in charge, no one from the Dihao Club came to interfere again.

Four days later.

The atmosphere in the empire became extremely solemn. Not only were the people worried about food supply, but they were also overwhelmed by the war.

Seeing the gloom on people's faces, Cai Tian and others who wanted to witness the future of the empire were so anxious that they bit their fingernails.

(What on earth is Zhang Liang doing!?)

······

Inside the Adventure Association.

night.

A man dressed as a soldier came here, found his good brothers, and ordered 10 2-liter bottles of beer.

"Your Majesty is really crazy!"

The soldier gulped down the beer, as if to vent his anger. He smashed the wooden cup on the table and complained under the influence of alcohol:

"We have received the final order from His Majesty."

Hearing the soldier's words, the faces of the five adventurers sitting there instantly turned pale and they asked excitedly:

"Is the war really going to start!?"

"ah···"

The soldier, with a red face and a beer on his head, told them: "The 15th of this month is the official day for the expedition! I will start preparing tomorrow..."

"Hey, hey, hey! You told us about the military operation, aren't you afraid of being beheaded!?"

Hearing the adventurer's words, the soldier laughed, then his expression turned stern and he cursed:

"Bah!" The soldier was obviously very angry. "I just don't understand. The capital has been ruined by the Imperial Society, and His Majesty doesn't care about the people. Instead, he wants to send troops to attack the Dukedom. Isn't this just adding insult to injury!?"

"······"

After hearing the soldier's words, his good brothers fell silent.

Just as he said, a march requires sufficient military pay, but Your Majesty has ignored the people and is instead preparing for war.

This obviously disregards the lives of the people of Dawn!

"I really don't want to join the war, but..." The soldier lowered his head, helplessly grasping the handle of the cup in his hand, and struggled: "If I become a deserter, His Majesty will execute my entire clan, what should I do..."

As if he was not convinced, the soldier continued: "The people above said that your majesty's action has a deep meaning, but I don't think he has a fart!!!"

"······"

Seeing the problem he was facing at this time, these good friends fell silent again. Fortunately, they were all family here, otherwise he would definitely not survive the night.

several years ago.

When they learned that their good brother had passed the civil service exam, they were filled with envy and jealousy, and were all celebrating that he had gotten a stable job.

It was because of this stable job and higher social status than adventurers that he soon got married and became the father of three children.

And now.

They seem to be unable to envy...

Who would have thought that at this time he was still serving the empire, but... his wife, children and the elderly had to live a life of relief.

Faced with the current situation, he has no choice.

Seeing his good brother's ferocious expression, the adventurer, who was not good at talking, didn't know how to comfort him, so he raised his wine glass and shouted:

"Drink! We won't go home until we are drunk today!!!"

······

The next day.

From that day on, people saw countless soldiers gathering outside the city.

Seeing what was happening before their eyes, people's faces were filled with gloom, and they didn't know what the empire would become in the future.

These days, countless people have been living in nightmares, unable to sleep or eat.

······

The fifteenth day of this month.

Nidhi Grand Plaza.

I don’t know which magician it was, but he released convex lens magic above Nidhi Square, and the people present could see the scene from the city gate.

30 troops have assembled at the city gate, ready to go. Seeing the huge crowd, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely solemn.

Tens of thousands of people gathered here again. They knelt on the ground, clenched their fists, and prayed devoutly that the gods would come to the world again, and prayed that Zhang Liang would come back to life and stop all this.

If Zhang Liang had not been ambushed, with his strength, they would have been able to do it as long as they joined forces with another god's follower!

Although people know that there is little hope, this is their only hope.

They closed their eyes tightly and prayed devoutly, praying for a miracle to happen.

"Chiji------!" A cry resounded through the sky.

Suddenly, a melodious and clear cry was heard from the sky. Everyone looked up at the convex lens, and the convex lens also turned the picture and captured the source of the sound.

Seeing the scene before them, everyone present opened their eyes wide in shock, and the scene fell into chaos.

"What kind of monster is that!?"

"No! That's not a monster! It's... it's..." The adventurer's eyes widened, beads of sweat oozing from his cheeks, and he said excitedly:

"It's a god, a mythical beast, the Immortal Phoenix!!!"

Hearing the adventurer's roar, the people present widened their eyes in shock. No one was not shocked.

"How did it appear here?!"

High in the sky, the flaming phoenix spread its wings and flew high. Its feathers were as brilliant as flames, emitting a dazzling light like the sun.

Its posture is elegant and majestic, as if it is a ball of burning flame dancing in the air, with a long tail behind it.

In an instant.

The immortal phoenix flew over the heads of the 30-strong army and plummeted toward them.

There was a loud "boom!" and flames shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption. The ground shook and the scene was extremely horrifying.

Everyone knew that if this blow fell on the assembled army, at least 3 people would suffer.

Thinking of this, the 30 soldiers were so shocked that cold sweat broke out on their cheeks, and tens of thousands of people in the city swallowed their saliva in shock.

Everyone looked at the flames in front of them, their hearts pounding, and they had no idea what would happen next.

Not long after.

Just as everyone was on guard against the flames, the scene happening before their eyes made them open their eyes wide in shock, and their whole bodies began to tremble with excitement.

I saw a figure slowly walking out of the flames, as if not affected by the flames at all.

This person.

She has black hair, holds the heroic holy sword Grandinu, and wears the holy garment Holantina.

And that face is a familiar face to them...

Seeing the man standing alone in front of an army of 30, everyone present found it unbelievable and couldn't even react for a moment.

"He, he is..."

"Yes, it's Zhang Liang!!!"
