The battle between Lan Luoran and Sang Yan ended with both sides being injured. Sang Yan dragged his seriously injured body back to Shenghui's Jingsi Cliff.
As for Lan Luoran, he disappeared in the northern wilderness.
"I heard that Sang Yan came back and was severely injured?" Han Moqun sat next to Yin Xian, with a joking meaning in his eyes, "If you are still in such a mess with the help of the Dragon Clan's relics, our great elder is nothing more than that~!"
"..." After hearing Han Moqun's words, Yin Xian's face darkened but did not answer.
The room fell into silence for a moment, and then the sound of rolling wheels came from outside Yin Xian's room. The wooden wheels rolled over the marble floor tiles, making a dull sound.
"Duan Han, what are you doing here?" Han Moqun glanced at the person sitting in a wheelchair at the door. Duan Han's legs were disabled and he had been sitting in a wheelchair for more than a hundred years.
If it was a normal leg disability, there might be a glimmer of hope, but Duan Han's legs were devoured by the star beasts of the Northern Wilderness, and even all kinds of medical skills could not restore their vitality.
Duan Han has been living in the wooden house at the deepest part of Jingsi Cliff since his legs were disabled. Except for the servants who take care of food and drink every day, he has not been seen in Shenghui for many years. Duan Han appeared.
Even many people within Shenghui thought that the Sixth Elder left this world silently on an ordinary dark night.
"How can the fourth elder speak? After all, this is also the sixth elder, our brothers who share life and death. It's a bit too much for you to speak like this."
Yin Xian looked at Duan Han in front of her, watching the last wooden wheel of the wheelchair just roll over the line of the door and entering the room, and then she spoke, with a flattering smile on her face.
"Brother, I am a cripple, so I dare not call myself brother to the third elder." Duan Han blocked the door with his wheelchair and said in a very calm and even alienated and mocking tone.
After all, after Duan Han's legs were disabled, the elders who used to fight with Duan Han would start talking to Duan Han arrogantly, even with sarcasm and ridicule.
But Duan Han also knew in his heart that a disabled Sixth Elder was indeed dispensable to Shenghui. At least Duan Han's existence was no longer important.
Even Han Moqun once said that Duan Han should simply abdicate and give up the position of Sixth Elder to someone more capable to hold this position.
"What are you talking about, Sixth Elder? If you hadn't stopped the star beast on your own, we wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."
Everyone knew the reason for what happened back then. If Duan Han hadn't stepped up to the plate, they would have perished in Beihuang. Duan Han only managed to save his life, but his strength was very low.
"..." Han Moqun wanted to say something else, but he opened his mouth without making any sound. Just when he was about to speak, his eyes caught sight of the figure at the door.
A cold face appeared in front of Yin Xian's house. Yin Xian's residence was really lively today.
"Fifth Elder~"
"How cold~" Han Moqun and Yin Xian said in unison, each using different names.
Within the Holy Glory, except for Sang Qing, who waved away without asking anything, and the Seventh Elder, who had truly disappeared forever, they were all gathered at the residence of the Third Elder.
"Sang Yan is seriously injured. The Dark Night Lord is most likely dead. The most troublesome person in Ying has been dealt with. What do you think now?"
The tone of He Leng's words was just like his name, so cold, which added an extra layer of frost to the already somewhat cold relationship.
…
"A large-scale gathering of troops was discovered at the Yueluo border~!"
"Many military stations appear on the border of the stars~!"
…
Almost at the same time that Sang Yan returned to Shenghui, Bi She was already standing in front of seven or eight communications soldiers in the Imperial Military Council, with more than a dozen emergency military reports in front of him.
Among these emergency military reports, many of the troops suddenly appeared under the banner of the Northern Territory. Such an unabashed gathering of troops made Bi She feel like his head was buzzing.
"Report~!"
Outside the Office of the Military Council, there was once again a sudden sound, and a signal soldier rushed back to the Military Council from outside as quickly as possible.
"Say~!" Bi She didn't care where the signal soldier came from. It wasn't good news anyway, so Bi She thought it wouldn't hurt to listen to it again.
"Southern Territory, the Southern Territory Empire military station is besieged by the Southern Territory Territory troops." The signal soldier placed a military report in front of Bi She.
Electronic communications in the Southern Territory have been completely blocked. The Imperial Military Station in the Southern Territory is completely unable to contact the Imperial Military Council. Among the several interrogation teams and more than 100 signal soldiers sent out, he was the only one to escape from the Southern Territory.
"What~!" Bi She, who was holding his forehead with both hands, suddenly slammed his desk, his hands directly on the military reports. The dozen or so military reports in front of him were all bad news for the empire.
"When did the Northern Territory collude with the Southern Territory?" Bi She found it a little hard to believe that the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory, at the beginning of the establishment of the Imperial Federation, had always disliked each other.
If it were not for the rules and order of the Imperial Federation, the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory might have started a war long ago. What's more, regarding the rebellion in the Southern Territory not long ago, the Northern Territory's coalition forces invaded the Southern Territory, and their siege of cities and territories was not even inferior to that of the Imperial coalition forces. .
In this way, the two major border regions, one south and one north, which were at war not long ago, suddenly implemented military restrictions on the Imperial Federation at the same time. If you say that the two major border regions are not colluding, you will not believe it.
"That shouldn't be the case. The Northern Territory and the Southern Territory have always been at odds with each other. During the Great Catastrophe, the two border regions still had some old grudges. If the Imperial Federation had not been established to coordinate, the two border regions would have gone to war long ago."
In Bi She's office, sitting was Qu Yan, one of the top ten commanders of the empire. As one of the few people among the top ten commanders who absolutely supported Bi She, he could naturally be called Bi She's confidant.
"But do you think it would have been such a coincidence to act at the same time if it hadn't been negotiated?" Bi She looked at the military reports in front of him, as if he suddenly understood something.
"No wonder Wang Qin went to Ximo, and Lin Zihan also showed up in Ximo. They were planning from the beginning, asking me to transfer Mo Jie back from the Southern Territory and go to Ximo with Minglang.
When my attention is on Simo, the Southern and Northern Territories can act secretly and then strike suddenly. "Bi She suddenly understood something at this time.
Ximo, the Southern Territory, and the Northern Territory had already formed an alliance the moment Wang Qin was deposed by the emperor and left for Ximo.
"Damn it~! Who is plotting behind the scenes? These seemingly outrageous and unrelated things are actually a scheme behind the scenes."
Bi She suddenly felt that behind these things, someone must be planning something. As for what the purpose was, Bi She couldn't figure it out clearly, but what Bi She could know clearly was that the purpose was definitely not to compete for territory.
"Is it possible that they still want to rebel against the empire's thousand-year foundation?" Bi She looked at the military report in front of him and looked at the territorial defense line surrounded by red on the map in front of him.
Although the three major inner domains of the empire controlled most of the resources and technology at the beginning of its establishment, over the course of thousands of years, their advantages have long been lost.
The combined area of the three major inner regions of the empire is only as large as one border region. The three major border regions are not united to compete for land, and the three inner regions do not have any rare mineral veins. Apart from being directly under the empire, the three major inner regions are not The inner domain has no advantage over the border domain.
"Could it be because of that person?" Qu Yan looked at the wall. The photo pinned to the wall by Bi She was just a side face, but it could be seen that the person was Lin Zihan.
"Lin Zihan? That guy who ruined my good deeds many years ago has finally been found by me. I don't mind killing him this time~!"
Bi She suddenly clenched his fist, and an imperceptible dark green surged through the blood vessels in his wrist and disappeared into the palm of his hand.
An imperceptible dark green suddenly appeared on Bi She's eyeballs, swallowing up the black eyeballs. However, there was nothing weird about the dark pupils.
…
"The time has come, both the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory have taken action~!" Wang Qin has been sitting in Huang Heng's office for five days. Wang Qin eats, drinks, and sleeps in Huang Heng's office. For life requirements Wang Qin, who is extremely tall, has not slept in bed for five days.
However, in the past five years, Wang Qin's face only looked a little haggard, his hair was still fluffy, and his clothes were not even wrinkled.
"But all five energy supply stations have been handed over. If there is a real fight, I don't know how long the energy shield in Luoyang Pass can last. With the blessing of the energy supply stations, the Imperial Federation will only become stronger."
Joy only flashed across Huang Heng's face, and then there was a solemn sorrow, shrouding Huang Heng's face like a dark cloud.
"You and I just give the order to start the war. Everything else needs to be handed over to He Yunhua. I think since he chooses to hand it over, he will have a way to deal with it."
At this time, Wang Qin just wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper. His anxious heart could finally fall back when he got the news about the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory.
"Send the military report to He Yunhua. I want to go back to my room and have a good sleep." Wang Qin said, stood up and tugged on the corners of his clothes, and then walked to the door of the office.
Holding the handles of the doors on both sides with both hands, Wang Qin suddenly opened the door, embracing his own fresh air and freedom.
Huang Heng, on the other hand, just sat in his chair, looking at Wang Qin's back and the light falling in from the door.
In five days, Huang Heng and Wang Qin never left this room. They were all waiting for the opportunity that Wang Qin said. Even when he was the powerful person in charge of the emperor, Wang Qin had never been like this. So hard and so anxious.
"It's time to take a good rest~!" Huang Heng looked at Wang Qin's back and pressed his hand on the keyboard on the table. The military order to start the war had already been written, and he was just waiting for an opportunity to send it.
Almost at the same time, military stations in the southern region, West Mo, and the inner region were all attacked by artillery fire. Within the Imperial Federation, there were more than thirty military reports of attacks at one time.
