Lovian and Dominita cautiously stopped.

The intricate metal badge of black and silver and gold and blue on the chest proves that they belonged to the Imperial Central Army of the Imperial Province of Victoria.

Since the accession of Shinas to the throne, the situation of the continent has changed, and the internal war for power of mankind has been suspended. However, there are still organizations like the Earth Cult and Grivar that have become independent from the Imperial Government. This is undoubtedly the trigger for the outbreak of small-scale wars or even full-scale wars, although from any number, the strength of the Osilian Empire far exceeds that of the independent Earth Saint Cult and the Grivar Empire, but the Osilian Empire is not monolithic.

In the nearly 100 years following the War, the Osilian warlords were divided and chaotic, and although they all calmed down after the ascension of Sinas to the throne, the independent allegiance army was passed down from generation to generation. Although there were many reforms to forcefully incorporate the private army, in order to maintain the temporary stability of the upper class of Osilian, Shinas never took hard-line measures against it. One of the biggest monsters left behind from the era of the human civil war is the dragon knight Bruce family.

Such a super family with 200,000 private troops and dozens of dragon knights, controlling an entire province, even dared to rely on their strength to place their center in the province of Victoria. Such an arrogant statement and the silent response of the Holy Land have long made other forces believe that the power of the Holy Land has nothing to do with him, at least not for a short period of time.

They are different from Edelstan, whose rebel group may be stronger, but they are facing the Black Wings led by Orka, the Demon Wing Reaper. This dark organization that has left a terrifying impression on the whole world. Far from being comparable to one family. Even the Holy Land still needs the Rebels and the Crusader Brigade under it to form a balance with the Black Wings, so they give up control of Edelstein, and the Holy Land does not mind.

But the Bruce family controlled the province of Charando. But it is impossible for the Holy Land to tolerate it. First of all, not to mention the military and economic constraints on Osiria caused by the several metal veins owned by the province of Charando and the private energy companies under his control, his geographical location even affected the transportation of the mainland, and subconsciously worsened the people's impression of the imperial government in the Holy Land. And the Bruce family, relying on their own force, openly violated the empire's most sensitive energy and military field, and had already crossed the bottom line of Shinas many times.

And the reason why she didn't take immediate action against the Bruce family was because of the situation that the collapse of the Bruce family might bring. The first is that the alliance of aristocratic forces led by him will definitely fall into chaos because of this, and even the situation of defection along the way cannot be ruled out. The two great threats of the Earth Holy Cult and the mysterious Black Wings from outside the empire have not yet been lifted, and they are about to start losing control from the inside. The loss of trust in the authority of the Holy Land from the hearts of the people alone is not something that Shinas can afford. She had to find a moment.

Resolving internal problems from external contradictions is a good way to endure them, especially since the Holy Church has promised to send troops south. Black Wing shifted his focus to behind Grivar. The promise of the Holy Cult allowed Shinas not to worry about foreign enemies, and the surprise action of the Black Wing allowed her to justify the resource-rich provinces controlled by the great nobles as a place of partial mobilization, using their resources to replenish the Central Army. After all, they were still nominally subjects of the Holy Emperor.

Then, as a matter of course, the Bruce family stopped continuing to supply supplies after a few gestures. The Holy Emperor once again took advantage of this event to make a big splash. Let your moral height be raised a little.

The Bruce family wouldn't care about that anyway. Before Mastmar appeared in Shinas's field of vision, she planned to go to the Bruce family to carry out the decapitation operation at Victoria's castle herself.

However, the dragon clan told the Bruce family that they didn't have to worry about Shinas taking action personally, and she didn't dare to use her power lightly until Shinas bloodline was fully awakened.

Although Shinas was also stopped by the Divine Beast and the Knights, she still decided that even if she delayed the awakening of the bloodline, she must get rid of this cancer for Osilia.

At this time, in order to thank Mastma, who had helped him remove the curse of Akayl, he volunteered to say goodbye to Sinas. Rushed to the Bruce family's base camp overnight, with her fourth-level limit and the desperate posture of the broken crystal nucleus. Almost washed the Bruce family in blood, and only let a few young juniors go.

Shinas made a move almost at the same time, and the elite troops secretly transported by the Holy Emperor Knights outside the province of Charandor and the Central Third Legion, which was specially prepared to defend the Bruce family, cut to the core of the Bruce family like lightning, and completely annihilated the private army of the Bruce family after killing several dragon knights. With the efficient combat speed and the efforts of the information blockade work that the Holy Land had prepared, the big nobles under the Bruce family had already reacted, and their masters had already disappeared.

The details of the battle have never been revealed, but it is believed that no Bruce family privatesman have identified themselves in public until now. Maybe it was because of their fear, but it was more likely that the Holy Emperor Knights and the Central Third Army did not survive at all, and the reason why the Vizeloa River, which is said to have traversed the province of Charando, turned red overnight may not be the mass slaughter of the legendary plague among the livestock.

Shinas immediately ordered that all the various fortunes and title deeds left by the Bruce family in Victoria be transported to Bruce Castle in the province of Charando. Then the Holy Emperor Knights and the Third Army did not confiscate a single penny, and left Charandor directly, leaving behind a large pile of gold coins soaked in blood in front of the eyes of those great nobles supporting the army.

Naturally, the training and cultivation of private armies could not catch up with the strictness of the officers and soldiers, and a large number of uncontrolled plundering occurred on the spot. Anyway, there weren't many people left left, and there was no one to stop the robbery, and the chaos quickly intensified. Not only the military, but also the other nobles who once believed in the Bruce family as the main were also looking at the ownerless wealth and forgetting the letter of allegiance.

The three "quasi-independent provinces", including Charando, fell into a quagmire of life-and-death profit-grabbing, after consuming a lot of their own resources. The remaining major families covered in bruises also formed a lot of hatred, hostile to each other, and could no longer form a group to pose a threat to the imperial power of the Holy Land.

Shinas then announced to the nation the glorious achievements of erasing the bloody elements. The support for the Holy Emperor suddenly reached a higher level, and the blessing of Shinas after the evening prayer was earth-shattering.

After the Bruce family's big trouble was resolved, Shinas was finally able to safely withdraw the First Central Army and the First Frontier Army from the Tiantai Pass defense line, and set off for the East with several other knights of the great nobles who were loyal to the Empire.

The elite Second Central Army, the Second Frontier Army, and the First Central Army met in the southern part of the province of Dos, waiting for the arrival of the royal driver of Shinas to begin a grand plan to march south against the Black Wings. The project is still named "Folding Wings". As many as 500,000 combatants participated in Operation Folded Wings, which is already an absolutely terrifying number in such a relatively peaceful era. Coupled with the 200,000 regular army of the Holy Sect and the Earth Knights, the Black Wings, whose overall strength was already less than 200,000. The results seem to be available without even thinking. Moreover, the army has also greatly suppressed the supply and communication lines of the Black Wings between Edelstein and Nanyang City, and for the Black Wings, where backup and resources have become a big problem, the words of the people that "the Demon Wing Death will be retributed after all" are about to come true.

The menacing black-clothed soldiers in front of Luo Wei'an now are a certain patrol team belonging to the First Central Army. They were responsible for blocking the Edelstan border. Trying to make Edelstein a wall of steel. Blocking the Black Wing's pawns or spies infiltrated the northern part of the empire called Void.

But it also kills the possibility of civilians fleeing Edelstan if the Black Wings begin to wreak havoc on Edelstan. However, their strategy has always been kept secret, otherwise Edelstein's current public opinion would have been uncontrollable.

The officers on the horse and the soldiers behind them looked at the two demons coldly, and the instinctive resistance to the alien race, coupled with the information that Orka was a demon, made their hostility to this side rise rapidly.

The leading officer rode down a small slope, his colored armor glowing with a cold light that was colder than his surroundings.

The two-meter-long spear was carved with a rough magic pattern, and the elemental fluctuations released in the flickering moment proved that this was more than just a simple weapon.

"Stop, where are you from, what are you doing here!"

The standard tone of interrogating criminals, if more ferocious. It's about to become a torture tone. Lovian had always been dismissive of such fearless soldiers, even in the past. Most of the mid- and lower-ranking officers in the Blood Moon Legion under his command were like this, and there were even a few.

"Edelstein Cogwheel City, come to visit family. Dominita hastened to answer, and seeing the teacher's thoughtful expression, she had a hunch that if Lovian spoke, the question would become strict.

"Visiting relatives?!" The squad leader's war gun was still pointed straight at Luo Wei'an's chest, of course he could see that Luo Wei'an's attitude of not being surprised and relaxed was probably not so simple, compared to that, the demon girl who seemed to be the most hostile was much safer, "I'm sorry, now Edelstan is under martial law - besides, you have a demon to explore!"

"My daughter and the student's relatives are all there, but they are now being held back by the six mercenary groups, and I am afraid that something will go down and there will be problems. Lovian interrupted Dominita's next words.

At this time, the rest of the patrol team also rode forward, and the more than twenty human cavalry were filled with a faintly powerful fighting force field, which even made Dominita's breathing a little dry. Luo Weian still calmly looked into the eyes of the captain under the helmet, his plain gaze was not at all like that of a young demon like him, who was between youth and teenager.

When the team members saw that these were two demons, they immediately let out a burst of whispering. Even their war horses were in turmoil because of the faint suppression of the higher ranks of the alien race.

The patrol leader seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment, he suddenly spoke, "Do you mean someone from the Wintington family?"

Lovian and Dominita nodded at the same time, and Dominita rummaged through her pockets and pulled out the communication scroll with Francis's instant contact, the back of which was emblazoned with the family coat of arms of the Marquis of Wintington.

The subtle spiritual power control zhì, which once belonged to the fifth-level powerhouse, quietly blended into the air, and caught the team leader's pupils shrinking slightly when he saw this coat of arms.

"It seems that they knew that during this time there were many people who wanted to use force to get through the blockade and get in touch with it, and that the intensity of the force was positively correlated with the background of those who lived in Edelstein. Lovian silently forcefully sent his voice into Dominita's ears.

"The Wintington family is a family of Edelstein. You don't have to worry about their safety. The team leader's voice was a little darker, "Leave immediately now, we won't pursue you." ”

"Let's go. To Dominita's surprise. Lovian actually patted her on the shoulder, and a surge of strength immediately carried Dominita into the sky.

Sure enough, the patrol team with the squad leader as the core all raised the war guns in their hands, and the unified dark blue fighting spirit twisted into a strand in midair, like a dense pillar of light, rushing directly towards Luo Weian.

The piercing roar of the Dou Qi crushing the air made this meaningless wilderness more violent, and the dark blue Dou Qi tornado flashed with a dazzling blue-white lightning. This is a pure fire attribute fighting qi, and it is also the unified cultivation fighting qi of the Central First Army, and the strong condensed fire attribute has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of this Central Iron Army.

But after all, the members of these patrol teams only have second-level strength. After all, the many fighting spirits did not come from one person, although their cooperation made Lovian admire. But from his vantage point, he could still see the multiple strands of vindictive energy intertwined, like the cross-section of a cable used to set sail on a sailing ship.

"Look at it. Lovien motioned for Dominita not to interfere. Watch his movements closely. Then Lovian held out his hands. The dark essence took on a delicate purple color, pouring out of his fingertips, delicately inserting into the gap between the multiple strands of fighting qi, and then he gently flicked it outward.

The fighting spirit spread out like a loose hemp rope, and the fighting spirit that had lost its mutual reliance suddenly disappeared under the pale sky in confusion.

Lovian landed lightly to the ground, and the patrol team, which finally had a rough idea of their strength, immediately noticed their trouble, and with a quick cry, a thin cavalryman suddenly pulled out a scroll and prepared to shout into it.

Dominita stomped the ground. A thin stream of essence poured out from around him, just sealing the magic fluctuations of that space.

"We just want to know. How can we get over?" Luo Weian said more kindly, "I know that you are violating military law and will have to suffer a heavy punishment if you release people in the past, but they should have an assessment of your blockade ability! For example, if you meet a third-level guy, you probably can't stop it, so you should not be responsible for releasing people in the past." ”

"Are you really level three?" said the squad leader tentatively, the spear in his hand lowered slightly.

"Seems so. Lovian said kindly, "Not like?"

The whole squad gasped, and although the army is not divided into ranks by individual strength, this is also a relatively important evaluation criterion. Generally up to the level of strength of the second level, even the senior combat personnel of the army, enjoy much higher treatment than ordinary combatants, and most of the patrol teams are at the captain level. There weren't many third-level powerhouses in the entire Central First Army, and those really powerful third-level ones had gone to serve in the Holy Emperor Knights.

Dominita pouted at Lovian, her expression full of disdain.

"Okay then, but you have to make some noise, although we have such a rule, but if you don't resist at all, you will be looked down upon......" The team leader hesitated for a while, and then shouted to the team members behind him, "I know that this kind of thing can't be said!

The team let out a loud "Understood!"

Luo Weian nodded, casually raised his right arm, and the dark essence poured into the ground, and then formed a huge formation in the ground under these cavalry, and a black arm stretched out from it, and it was not very fiercely held.

The war horses all roared because of the high-level demon momentum released by Luo Wei'an, and the strange sight also shocked these battle-hardened central elites.

The dark spirit whipped each of the horsemen like a whip, then bound them firmly, and dragged them off their horses, causing them to bruise and swell. The corrosive effect of the dark spirit had corroded their neat and shiny armor to rust, and there were gaps in several places. But apart from a few scrapes from their horses, they didn't actually do any damage, but they looked like ...... It was very embarrassing, saying that they had just broken through from a thousand enemy troops, I am afraid that some people would believe it.

The cavalry of the squad jumped on their horses as if they had been roasted by fire, and the captain weakly made a gesture of thanks to him, and then rode the frightened and uncontrollable horse and cautiously ran towards the nearest station.

It wasn't until the cavalry was out of sight that Lovian and Dominita began to walk towards the provincial border. As soon as he was halfway through, he felt that the border line was connected to a layer of elemental fluctuations released by an early warning array, and as long as he touched it, it would trigger an alarm.

"After you passed, you started to rush, you keep trying to contact Francis with the magic circle, and I will take the map to find the nearest road as far as possible. Across a province, we can't do it on our own. ”

Dominita nodded, stretching her wings and moving as Lovian searched the map for a long time to find their general location. Then he looked at the sun to determine his direction and pointed in a northeasterly direction.

A dark spirit was released from Dominita and connected to Lovian, so that the teacher and student would not lose touch while they were going their separate ways.

Then they crossed the alarm line in an instant, and a few seconds later, the shrill and monotonous sirens of the Terrans sounded from a distance, and soon the billowing smoke and dust could be seen as the cavalry rushed in.

"Senior brother, I'm Dominita, and I received an answer...... "Dominita's wings danced in an arrogant amplitude, and Lovian below her rushed northeast at no slower speed than hers, bringing up smoke and dust that completely cut off their optical signals.
