The entire Divine City is built around the huge Divine Mountain, with a population of more than 100 million.
The famous Shendu Academy of Dwarf Star is at the foot of the Holy Mountain. In addition, the place where Thanos and the Mad Sage practice seclusion all year round is also on the Holy Mountain.
In addition, at the foot of the Holy Mountain, there is a mysterious mansion called the Mad Saint's Mansion, which is the home of Thanos and Mad Saint.
This mansion is actually a small town, and the main residents in the town are the tribesmen and cronies of Thanos.
After the mad saint of Thanos came out of seclusion, he lived in this mad saint's mansion.
The 10,000 bodyguards led by Long Jin Da and Long Jin Er live in this town on a daily basis and are responsible for the security of Thanos and Mad Saint.
The town is also known as Thanos Town.
At this moment, in the hall of Mad Saint's mansion, the Longjin brothers stood in front of Thanos and Mad Saint, not daring to show their anger and trembling with fear.
The mad sage Thanos glanced at the two brothers and said coldly:
"Are you two pig-minded? How many years have you followed me? You can't even handle such a small thing as managing the Zhongzhou Empire. I think you two should stop following me."
"thump!"
The brothers immediately knelt down in front of Thanos.
"Big boss, please forgive me. It's true that we two brothers didn't think well and messed up the matter. Big boss, please forgive us. We will definitely make up for our mistakes and serve the big boss!"
"Hmph, what did I tell you two at the beginning? I asked you to take the temple elders to take over the Zhongzhou Empire. It would be better for you two to run away in private.
You two are really crazy. You actually think that you two alone can take over a Zhongzhou Empire with hundreds of cities and hundreds of millions of people? "
"Big Chief, we have gone to see the elders of the Temple Elders' House, but the elders said they have been busy recruiting troops recently and have no time to accompany us, so,"
"So, you just went by yourself? Can't you wait? It's not enough to be beaten for the first time, but you have to run over with the entire bodyguard team a second time. What's the result? They just disbanded the Zhongzhou Empire and let All the guards have moved and disappeared. Do you think the two of you have failed more than succeeded?"...
The mad sage Thanos becomes more and more angry as he thinks about it.
Yang Xiao betrayed him in front of his face in the ancient continent and rescued the two elders of Xuanbing Pterodactyl. This incident had already made Thanos and Mad Saint very angry.
The God-Slaying Sword that he had been thinking about for decades was taken away by Yang Xiao, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Now it's better, even the Zhongzhou Empire can't recruit half a million guards.
Although the Mad Saint Thanos has been practicing in seclusion for a long time, he is still very clear about the affairs of the entire dwarf star.
For example, this time's plan to conquer the Witch Star.
Ten years ago, more than 200,000 elite guards at the advanced level of the emperor were sent to attack Wu Xing. According to the intelligence returned there, almost half of these elite guards were killed or injured, and the remaining people stayed in the city, fighting with Wu Xing's people. The local resistance forces formed a stalemate, and no one could defeat the other.
Every time an expedition goes out, a large number of elite guards will be recruited from the ten major families. Over time, the loss of these ten major families can be imagined.
Although the ten major families openly did not dare to resist Thanos and the Mad Saint, they secretly had complaints.
This time, with the help of Yang Xiao's betrayal, all the elite guards of the Zhongzhou Empire can be recruited. This is simply a big pie falling from the sky.
The mad sage Thanos never thought that the abandoned land of Zhongzhou Continent, after hundreds of years of development, would develop into the prosperous continent it is today, with a population of hundreds of millions and an army of millions.
If Yang Xiao was still the elder of the temple and the king of the Zhongzhou Empire, recruiting troops from the Zhongzhou Empire would only require Yang Xiao to complete the task with one sentence.
But Yang Xiao betrayed Thanos, and he had to dismiss Yang Xiao from his post.
If the Longjin brothers had the temple elders to assist them when they first took over, they could have taken over openly and then recruited troops directly through the existing bureaucracy of the Zhongzhou Empire, which would not be a big problem.
However, the Longjin brothers were eager to avenge themselves and messed up the matter.
"call!"
The Mad Saint Thanos took a long breath and looked at the man kneeling in front of him.
The two brothers said coldly:
"I know that you two brothers resented Yang Xiao for hurting you in the Ancient Continent, so you couldn't wait to take over the Zhongzhou Empire to avenge your personal revenge, but you forgot about the overall situation, which led to the current situation that cannot be ended. I am very disappointed with you two."
"Big boss, spare your life. We must remember this lesson and never dare to act recklessly next time."
"You two have been demoted to deputy captain of the bodyguards, and Akan has been promoted to captain. If there is a next time for you, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Thank you, Chief, for not killing me!"
The brothers quickly kowtowed.
Thanos said to a middle-aged man standing in the hall:
"Akan, you take over the position of captain of the guards."
The middle-aged man immediately bowed and said:
"Thank you, Chief. I will do my best until I die and live up to the Chief's trust."
Akan has always been the personal bodyguard and confidant of the mad sage Thanos, with a high level of cultivation at the imperial level.
Akan's combat power is similar to that of Long Jinda, but Long Jinda now only has one arm, and his combat power has been reduced. This is one of the reasons why Thanos wanted to replace the captain of his bodyguard, but he just happened to have That's all.
"Long Jinda, you just said that Yang Xiao has returned to the Zhongzhou Empire. Is it the Zhongzhou Empire that he announced to be disbanded?"
"Yes, we arrested a few citizens and asked people in Wentian City. They all said that Yang Xiao personally announced the disbandment. Yang Xiao also appeared at the military camp outside Wentian City and personally addressed the 100,000 guards."
"Hmph, he doesn't want to stay well in the Ancient Continent and insists on coming here to die. Do you really think I can't do anything to him?"
The mad saint Thanos snorted and continued:
"Long Jinda, go and pass my order. The Temple Elders' House and Shendu Academy will immediately close the transmission channel to the Ancient Continent. Without my order, it will not be opened for the time being. No one is allowed to enter the Ancient Continent again."
There are only two teleportation stations to enter the ancient continent: the Temple of Elders and the Divine Capital Academy. As long as the passage from these two places to the ancient continent is closed, Yang Xiao will no longer be able to escape to the ancient continent to avoid the pursuit of Thanos and the Mad Saint.
When the elder brothers Longjin heard this, they felt pleasantly surprised.
"The great leader is wise, now Yang Xiao can no longer fly."
"Go quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid this guy will run away again. This is my token."
The mad master of Thanos waved his hand, and two dark triangular tokens flew in front of Long Jinda.
In order not to waste time and leak the news, the two brothers each took a piece and went to the Temple of Elders and the Divine Capital Academy respectively to try to close the teleportation station to the ancient continent in the shortest possible time.
"Akan, you also go to the Elders Council and negotiate with the elders about taking over the Zhongzhou Empire. Just say that it is my death order and the Council of Elders must complete it.
I have only one request. It doesn’t matter whether the Zhongzhou Empire exists or not. No matter what method you use, you must recruit the 500,000 elite guards of the Zhongzhou Empire for me. Otherwise, they will all be recruited from the clansmen of the elders. "
"yes!"
Akan bowed, turned and left.
