Even Zhang Xiaoman could not have imagined that he, who was the only one left out, would be the first to converge with the Major General ……

“What you mean, Major, is that you have a door to the capital city of the Sorcerer Kingdom right in your home?” Zhang Xiaoman asked in shock.

Just now, Ren Xiaosu had given them a detailed account of the principle of the Key Gate, and everyone was doubly amazed.

And it wasn’t anyone’s unique transcendent ability, but a replicable and inheritable sorcery.

“Young Marshal, do you think I can also open this laborious Key Gate?” Zhang Xiaoman asked.

“Well, you can,” Ren Xiaosu nodded, “Any True Vision Eye above the red level can, and this door will open wherever you want to go the most.”

On the side, Black Fox calmly discouraged, “I suggest that it’s better for you not to open the Key Door right now, in case it opens in San Bao Hutong, it won’t be good.”

Ren Xiaosu was curious: “Where is San Bao Hutong?”

Black Fox explained, “Young Marshal, there are many young girls in need there, and Zhang Xiaoman goes there twice a month.”

“How can you defile someone’s innocence out of thin air,” Zhang Xiaoman roared with a reddened face.

As soon as the words fell, Ren Xiaosu slapped him on the back of the head, “You’ll go to that kind of place less often in the future, can’t you find a good wife when you’re a brigade commander?”

Zhang Xiaoman covered his head and looked at Black Fox, his expression grim as if saying you wait for me.

But Black Fox ignored him, and instead confirmed with Ren Xiaosu, “Major, does the 6th Field Division need to be fully armed, and how to deal with those witches?”

“I’ll handle the sorcerers,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Okay understood,” Black Fox continued, “Then is this 144th Barrier going to be transformed into a temporary garrison barracks, or just built as a real forward base?”

“Temporary,” Ren Xiaosu said thoughtfully, “There will be another war afterward, and we’ll have all the time in the world to train new wizards to open the Key Gate. The most crucial point is that this Key Door is opened in my house, so remember not to trample my floor when you guys go in and out ……”

Black Fox: “…… Okay.”

Ren Xiaosu actually thought about it, according to what P5092 said, a war with Wang is inevitable to avoid.

But the problem lies in the fact that the probability of this war is that Wang will fight over, rather than Fortress 178 taking the initiative to fight over.

By then, the 144th Barrier itself would be the main battlefield, and his Key Gate would seem to have less significance in the war.

Right now, the greatest significance of the Gate of Keys was that Ren Xiaosu was able to summon modernized troops across a thousand kilometers and deal a direct and devastating blow to the Sorcerer’s base camp, Ghent City.

There was only one thing that made Ren Xiaosu more worried: there were simply too many civilians in Ghent City.

Although those civilians had nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu couldn’t be so heartless as to completely ignore those lives.

If Ren Xiaosu was that indifferent, he wouldn’t have become the Northwest Marshal.

Ren Xiaosu said to Black Fox: ”The specific battle plan needs to wait for me to rendezvous with P5092 before saying anything, your side first prepare to ensure that you can strike at any time. In addition, all kinds of equipment are ready, just let me carry all that can’t pass through the Gate of Keys.”

This thing called the Gate of Keys wasn’t a case of the bigger the carrier, the bigger the door opened, it had its own rules.

Normally, the Key Gate would only allow one to three people to pass through, this seemed to be determined based on the level of the Eye of True Sight, Ren Xiaosu was holding the Black Eye of True Sight, so his Key Gate was the level that three people could pass through.

Zhang Xiaoman and Black Fox returned to the Sixth Field Division’s barracks in high spirits, and began to work on arranging the plans for the temporary garrison inside Barrier 144.

A large number of transport vehicles entered Barrier 144 that night, while Wang Yuexiu’s side quickly organized the staff of the Barrier Management Committee to carry out evacuation and compensation work for the surrounding people.

The barracks that can accommodate 20,000 people, even if it is compact, must be very large, in the vicinity of the military compound must be pulled cordon line, the neighborhood will be designated as a military martial law area, which can not be inhabited by civilians.

However, the evacuation of this kind of thing can not be so simple, Wang Yue breath for this worry hair is almost white.

There are ten residential areas near the Major’s residence, and the compensation alone will require a large sum of money.

The 144th Barrier is now rich, but the residents may not be willing to move out ah.

This time to hide behind the command of the whole situation is no longer realistic, Wang Yuexii directly personally led the staff to visit door to door overnight to do mobilization work.

Wang Yue interest to the staff around him said: “Remember, attitude a little better, even if people are not willing to can not be too brutal attitude.”

“Okay understand,” the staff members one by one were all psychologically built up and ready to go fight the hard fight.

The importance of military affairs definitely came first, and if someone really didn’t want to go, then they could only forcefully evacuate.

But if it can be resolved peacefully, the Northwest Army is not willing to have a direct conflict with the people.

When Wang Yuexiu knocked on the door of the first resident’s house in the neighborhood, an older woman opened the door and was surprised, “Isn’t this Xiao Wang, what’s going on in the middle of the night?”

“It’s like this, the temporary evacuation of this neighborhood has begun, and according to the 6th Field Division’s plan, it may be necessary to requisition this place for a month or so,” Wang Yuexiu patiently handed over a document, “Here’s our requisition plan, which has specific compensation details… …”

The aunt froze for a moment, “What is this for?”

Wang Yue rest explained, “This doesn’t need to be kept a secret, it’s the Major General who is preparing to make a move on the Sorcerer Kingdom, have you heard of the Sorcerer Kingdom, it’s the ones who have been harassing the 178th Fortress, and now that the Major General has found a way to raid them, he needs to turn the neighborhood into a temporary station for the 6th Field Division, but don’t worry, they’ll just be setting up military tents outside, they won’t be coming into your home.”

“Hey, so that’s what this is about,” the older woman smiled, “That’s right, I’ll move out tonight to make room for you guys, do you want me to leave you the house door key, so the boys can go inside and take a hot shower or something?”

At this time, the door of the next house also opened, another woman said: “I heard you guys talking, we also move out tonight.”

Wang Yue breath stunned, to be honest in his expectations this is the most difficult step, but turned out to be the easiest step.

Before she went back to the house to pack up her things, she also cheerfully said to Wang Yuexiu: “Can you help tell the marshal ah, just say that Auntie Li in the vegetable market said, let him fight hard! We all support him!”

“Huh?” Wang Yuexii froze for a long time, “Then you guys take a look at this compensation details, so that everyone can know how much compensation they can get in the future and have a clear picture in their mind.”

Auntie Li was happy: “It’s okay, I’ll just go to my son’s house for a month, what kind of compensation do I need. You have worked hard to solve the grain shortage and avenge the war for the Northwest, we collect money again for this small matter, what have we become?”

Wang Yue rest shook his head, “No Aunt Li, this is two different things, the rules are the rules.”

“That’s fine, you can just watch and pay,” Auntie Li laughed.

“How can you watch and give it,” Wang Yuexii was anxious.

As a result, Auntie Li punched Wang Yuexii on the chest and laughed: “You’re so polite, don’t delay me to pack up my things.”

Wang Yuexii was punched by this punch is not light, hard to Auntie Li pounded coughing twice.

Another woman next door said: “That Wang ah, you and the marshal so familiar, can not let him after the fight to give us an autograph or something …….”

Aunt Li said: “Let you go out to live for a month you why so much to do it, people marshal is very busy well, which have time to give you a signature.”

Wang Yuexiu: “……”

Auntie Li said to Wang Yuexiu: “Okay hurry up and get busy, don’t waste time with us. You guys are sweating and bleeding at the front, you can’t let you return to the ledge and still be chilled.”

The wall management committee side only used one night’s time to complete the evacuation of the perimeter, not everyone is as good as Aunt Li, but the appearance of such a person, always let Wang Yuexii feel that the sweat and effort they invested in their work is all worth it.

……

Ren Xiaosu returned to the other end of the Key Gate, where Qian Weining, Mei, Xia and the others were still guarding it.

He casually stowed the steel gate into the space, this hand looked like magic, making everyone a bit confused as to who was the real sorcerer.

Meggo curiously said, “You’ve been in there for a couple hours, where exactly does the back of this Key Gate lead to?”

“You’ll understand later,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smirk, “I’ve already roughly figured out how to sanction those wizards old nobles.”

Xiao Xia, who was at the side, shook her head and said, “Maybe you didn’t meet a truly great sorcerer before, so it would make you think that the group of sorcerers is a bit weak, but I seriously remind you that things aren’t as simple as you think, or else we wouldn’t have to stay dormant until now.”

“Oh?” Ren Xiaosu said, “Tell me about it.”

“The Norman Family and the Tudor Family were able to stand in Ghent City for two hundred years time, relying on absolutely no luck,” Xiaosu said, “There’s too much exclusive sorcery in this world that hasn’t been publicized, and no one is sure what kind of undercurrents they have now.”

“Okay got it,” Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, “Please take me on a trip to Ghent City, my side of the plan has changed, I need to get what that knight left behind as soon as possible. I’m worried that with all the chaos, I might not have a chance to take it.”

Xiaoxia froze for a moment, then agreed, “Okay.”

No one knew what Ren Xiaosu meant by chaos, yet in the very next moment, everyone suddenly felt themselves wrapped in a strong sense of stripping, as if they were going to be dragged away from this world.

With a loud bang, everyone left from the rough coast and fell back into the dimly lit tunnel!

Only to see that two men in leather armor were holding the Eye of True Sight in the tunnel, and the wall that was originally painted with the Dragon of the East had been blown up.

Xiao Xia had already reflected before he could stand still, “It’s not our people, it’s the bounty hunters of the Witch Family, they’ve found this place! Counterattack!”

Only, by this time, someone had already reacted faster than her.

The moment Ren Xiaosu re-fell into the tunnel, his body had not even completely fallen to the ground yet, his arm was braced against the ground and he suddenly exerted his strength, and his entire body was like an arrow running towards the two bounty hunters who had initiated the attack.

During the leap, Ren Xiaosu’s body was quickly covered by external armor, blocking the two bounty hunters’ large fireball spells.

At the back, Chen Jingshu and Xu Anqing raised their hands to shoot out crossbow arrows from their sleeves in a hurry, and although these sleeve arrows were small, they could fire three at a time.

However, because they shot too hastily, the six crossbow arrows were all off-target.

Chen Jingshu and Xu Anqing were annoyed in their hearts, knowing that they should have been more calm and collected.

However, what they didn’t expect was that the six crossbow arrows that the two of them had fired out in this narrow space were all caught in the air by Ren Xiaosu, who then flung them at the bounty hunter on the opposite side of the room!

The six crossbow arrows that had corrected the angle of fire were extremely fast, and all of them were nailed into the skulls of the two bounty hunters.

Qian Weining watched this scene from the back, suddenly feeling some inexplicable familiarity, he suddenly realized that his own archery skill of hitting a hundred shots was probably how he came to …… be.

Ren Xiaosu walked over to the bounty hunter and checked, “No Blood Relay Sorcery appeared?”

“Doesn’t look like someone from the Tudor family,” Xu Anqing analyzed, “It should be someone from the Norman family.”

“Wait,” Ren Xiaosu frowned, “That Tite wizard from before was from the Norman family, right, where is he?”

The crowd looked around, but surprisingly, they didn’t see the other party’s figure.

Instead, Xiao Mei mentioned, “I saw him run down the tunnel after falling out of the Key Gate.”

Ren Xiaosu lamented, “You’re quite attached to your love rival.”

Xiao Mei blushed, “I …… am keenly observant!”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Xu Anqing and said, “You guys are also too careless, aren’t you keeping an eye out for this kind of person mixing in?”

Xu Anqing smiled and shook her head, “How could I not be attentive?”

As soon as the words fell, a few more people came out from both sides of the tunnel, and one of them was carrying Tite Norman, who had just run away, in his hands.

From the looks of it, these were members of the Holy Church who had long been ambushed in the tunnel.

These people entered the tunnel and sized up Ren Xiaosu one by one, as if everyone knew where he came from.

“So it’s to catch a spy,” Ren Xiaosu said, “This cost is a bit too big, isn’t it, at the cost of a Key Gate?”

“This Key Gate had already been exposed before, so we then intended to let it fulfill its final value,” Xu Anqing said.

Chen Jingshu said to Ren Xiaosu, “Come with us, go deeper into the earth, the other party dares to make a move at this time, I’m afraid they’ve already made other preparations.”

“No,” Ren Xiaosu said, “You guys go deeper into the earth, but Xiaoxia Xiaomei has to follow me on a trip to the Rose Monastery, the things left behind by that knight I must retrieve as soon as possible.”

“But it must be dangerous to return to the surface now,” Xu Anqing frowned.

“Yes, they will be dangerous,” Ren Xiaosu said.

Xu Anqing: “……”

After Ren Xiaosu left, and Xu Anqing led Qian Weining and the others deeper into the ground, a member of the Holy Hall finally couldn’t help but ask, “It really looks too much like that knight.”

“An An’s father said to let him lead us, Jingshu, you’ve spent some time with him, do you think he’s up to the task?” Xu Anqing asked.

Chen Jingshu thought for a moment and said, “His strength is much more powerful than you guys expected, I feel very deeply in this regard, and I’m afraid that even if An An’s father came, he would not be a match for him. However, his leadership ability is still questionable, we are not sure if he has the ability to lead the entire Sacred Hall.”

“Well, at such a young age, he shouldn’t have much leadership experience,” Xu Anqing said with a nod.

……

At night, Ghent City was even more prosperous than expected, with a wide array of taverns lining the rose avenue of traffic, and beautiful ladies outside the taverns welcoming customers with smiles.

In the tavern, men and women’s bright laughter flew out through the wooden door, and occasionally there was a dance music playing, and the people inside would embrace and dance together.

Outside the door of the tavern, a luxurious carriage stopped close to the curb, and the driver and servants were smoking their hand-rolled cigarettes and waiting for their masters.

Usually this kind of situation required the coachmen and servants to wait for a long time, and those young nobles in the city had to party until midnight.

Only when the night was dark did the young men and women board the carriages with their favorite playmates in their arms and return to their homes for the night.

Rose Avenue is famous in Ghent, if Ghent is the city that never sleeps, then this is the street that never sleeps.

This long street was not wide, and could only allow three carriages to pass through at the same time.

On both sides of the street were three-story gothic buildings, and if one looked down from the sky, this huge Wizard Kingdom capital city was very neatly planned, like a square piece of chocolate yards placed together, grid by grid, pleasing to the eye.

Just this bright and shiny city in the shadows, hiding with the bright and shiny completely inconsistent with the blood.

On this bustling Rose Avenue, in a dim alley next to the Rum Tavern, a manhole cover was suddenly moved aside from the inside out.

Ren Xiaosu, Xiao Mei and Xiao Xia drilled out from the sewer one after another, at this time there was a pair of men and women hiding in the alley secretly making out, compared to the bustling Rose Avenue outside the alley, this alley was considered absolutely secluded.

When this pair of young men and women saw Ren Xiaosu crawling out from the sewer, they intended to cry out in alarm, but before they could cry out, they were knocked unconscious on the ground by Ren Xiaosu.

“What to do with these two?” Meigo was surprised, then he saw Ren Xiaosu heartlessly stuffing these two people into two separate trash cans.

Xiaosu whispered, “Take the left side, nowadays Ghent City is extremely tightly guarded, we must be careful.”

While talking, two patrolling soldiers suddenly passed through the alley.

When the other party saw the two men and one woman, Ren Xiaosu, Xiaoxia, and Mei, an inexplicable look of playfulness also appeared in their eyes.

As they brushed past each other, the two patrol soldiers even muttered in a low voice, “These young people really know how to play.”

A rush of hot blood rushed up in the brain of Xiao Mei, who was originally the most abashed, and he angrily said to the patrolling soldiers, “Come back here, you two, we’re here to destroy Ghent City, it’s not as nasty as you think!”

Ren Xiaosu: “……”

Xiaosu: “……”

10 seconds later, Ren Xiaosu stuffed the two knocked out patrol soldiers into the sewer and praised, “Xiao Mei, I didn’t see that you were so ballsy before, the power of love is really great!”

Xiaoxia laughed, “Meigo, you seem a bit different from before, more courageous than before.”

Mei Ge scratched his head coyly, “…… Is it?”

Ren Xiaosu sighed, “Men and women in love really do lower their wits.”

The Rose Abbey was at the end of the Rose Avenue, and as Ren Xiaosu’s trio walked down the street, no one ever suspected them at all, just assuming that they were also here to have fun.

The three of them quietly climbed over the Rose Abbey’s fence, and then drilled into the water well behind the abbey.

After entering the well, Ren Xiaosu realized, no wonder the ground renovation of the abbey have no one found the secrets hidden here, the original Russell family put things are hidden in this well dug well in advance of the secret room.

The secret room is not big, inside sealed boxes of books, there are several boxes of gold coins.

The boxes of books were all covered with tarpaulins to avoid moisture.

Xiaoxia rummaged around for a while, then handed Ren Xiaosu a wooden box wrapped in oilcloth: “This is what that knight left behind, I swear on the honor of the Russell family that the Russell family has never opened this box.”

Right at the moment Ren Xiaosu took the box, the palace in Ren Xiaosu’s mind said, “Completing the clue collection mission, the reward is sealed and can be withdrawn at any time.”

The palace did not say what exactly the reward was, and Ren Xiaosu did not rush to extract the reward, but continued to scrutinize the box in his hand.

All the mists and fogs would be revealed this night.

For some reason, Ren Xiaosu was actually not nervous at all anymore, but instead had an unprecedented calmness.

At this moment, Old Xu, who had been released early in the morning, was standing at the top of a building, and it silently watched the movements near Rose Avenue, only to see that there were hoofbeats coming in densely like waves from the surroundings.

Further away, several armies could be seen holding up torches.

Ghent City was even more lively tonight.

In the darkness, an iron tire arrow suddenly shot from the black curtain, the sound of the bowstring ringing and the arrows coming like thunder.

This iron arrow was heading straight for Lao Xu’s face.

However, when this unparalleled arrow came in front of Lao Xu, Lao Xu lightly put his palms together in front of him and actually held this iron arrow in his palm!

The arrow went from extremely dynamic to extremely static in just an instant.

A clamor boiled up from the darkness!

The sound from outside the convent had already reached the well behind the convent, Xiao Xia’s expression stared down, their whereabouts were already stealthy enough, if this could still be surrounded by people ahead of time, then it meant that there were still problems within them, and the spies hadn’t been cleaned up.

Xiao Xia said to Xiao Mei: ”They should only know that we came to Rose Avenue through the tunnel, they should not know that we are in the monastery, only the three of us know about this place. When the time comes, I’ll distract them, you hide well here, don’t ever go out.”

Xiao Mei looked helplessly at Ren Xiaosu, but realized that the other party was calmly opening the wooden box, revealing a letter inside.

The secret that the Russell family had protected for over two hundred years with the family’s reputation was just a letter.

Mei Ge was anxious: “Xiao Su you tell me what to do.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious, wait for me to finish reading the letter, maybe after reading the letter the problem outside will already be solved.”

“You will only expect the problem to be solved? it would be better to just say that you have to wait for death, have you ever thought that there might be thousands of Tudor knights gathered outside by now?” Xia asked.

Ren Xiaosu carefully opened the envelope, “Don’t worry, with me here, even if the gods come down, they won’t be able to kill you. What’s more, that’s just a bunch of false gods out there.”

Xiao Xia’s face became even more gloomy as she took out her own Eye of True Vision and chanted an incantation at the water well outside the chamber.

In the next moment, a scene from the Rose Avenue actually appeared on the water.

Only to see that on that long Rose Avenue, there were already uncountable corpses of Tudor knights stretching out, blood flowing continuously along the cracks of the masonry.
