After a long journey, the group was finally far away from the cemetery and walked all the way towards their old temple.
Although he didn't have the shame to go back, it was his hometown, and he had to go back to report his defeat.
What's more, now they have completely lost their previous control over the world, and where they will go in the future is actually unknown to everyone.
However, these defeated generals are obviously not qualified to make any decisions anymore. Of course, this level itself is also a major strategic adjustment. Naturally, they need someone who can really make the decision.
This person is none other than their old palace master.
The main hall of a group of men in black is actually not too far away from here. Moreover, it is said to be the main hall, but in fact it does not have any very tall buildings.
It is just a very narrow entrance, like the well head of a biogas pit.
After entering from it, there is an extremely deep tunnel. After that, entering again, there is an empty cave. The cave is very simple, and there is nothing decent. Most of it is furniture made of soil and the like.
It is very large. In terms of volume, it is a huge palace that can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people present at the same time. Located in the center of the cave, there is a royal platform, and on the royal platform, an old man is sitting there, closing his eyes and meditating.
"I'll see the palace master later."
After a group of people arrived, when they saw the old man, they all knelt on the ground obediently.
No matter the three special envoys, or Xu Long and others, they all had a humble attitude.
"What kind of wind has brought Xu Long, the master of our branch hall?" The old man said calmly without opening his eyes.
Xu Long looked slightly embarrassed, but one thing that could not be denied was that he had indeed not been to the main hall for so many years.
"How is it? Are the changes here big?" the old man asked softly.
Xu Long shook his head: "Back to the palace master, although my subordinates have not returned for many years, this place is still the same as before, without any changes."
The old man nodded lightly and responded: "Things will never change in the vicissitudes of the world, they will only grow old, but people will always change. Is that what I said, Master Xu?"
Although he seemed to have said nothing, Xu Long knew very well that he had said everything. These words have no other meaning, they are just a slap in the face.
He said that he had deserted the main hall and founded a branch hall. He was no longer the same person he was when he was in the main hall.
"Palace Master, everything will change and everyone will grow. As long as the original intention remains unchanged, then in my opinion, everything will remain the same." Xu Long replied.
The meaning of these words is to tell the palace master that although he is the master of the branch palace, he still recognizes the main palace as the superior department and still regards the main palace master as the master.
"That's all, it doesn't matter if you don't say the nice things. For many years, although you have not left the main hall, you have always listened to the instructions and kept preaching."
"It is both a privilege and a disdain for my Lord's palace."
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Tell me, what difficulties did you encounter during the frontline war?"
Hearing the old palace master's inquiry, the group of people were very embarrassed. After all, they did not encounter a problem, but directly suffered a fatal defeat.
To put it bluntly, it means that the basic base has been completely lost.
"It's not that we encountered any problems, but that our army has been defeated by the enemy. Although we have saved a lot of troops and evacuated on our own initiative, the casualties are still heavy."
"With the current strength of our army, we will no longer be able to effectively control the outside world in a short period of time. The territory has been led by sailors and another young man."
"Palace Master, I am incompetent, so I still ask for your instructions."
Hearing these words, the old palace master was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened his eyes. Obviously, even he had never thought that they, who were so arrogant, would actually eat turtles on this land.
Moreover, it was still such a shameful and humiliating turtle.
"My main palace has so many troops and horses, but you...you actually suffered a heavy defeat at my hands?" The old man was slightly angry.
A group of people quickly lowered their heads: "Please punish me, the Lord of the Palace..."
