108 Thin Layer

The Hound did not eat the meat. After failing to extract the skill, it was thrown to the side of the road. The team reorganized and continued to set off.

“Run forward and catch up to the Lord’s Guards,” Elsa shouted from the front.

Since the resting place was the public cemetery of Fire Dragon City, it should not be too far from Fire Dragon City. They should be able to reach soon.

However, once he started running, Fang Ping’s breathing became even more difficult. He had to open his mouth and pant heavily.

No one else in the Elite Team had such a reaction. Ultimately, it was because Fang Ping’s physique was too poor and his attack power was too low.

After running for more than ten minutes, the team stopped. Fang Ping sat on the ground and panted heavily, making Fang Ping feel dizzy.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while before recovering and standing up.

Beside him, Qing Niao helped him up. “Fang Ping, are you alright?”

“It’s okay.”

“You have to train more often. How can your physique be so poor?”

Fang Ping shrugged. There was nothing he could do. He stood on tiptoe and looked ahead. “What’s going on ahead?”

“The Lord’s Guards are parked in front. I don’t know what’s going on. Teacher Elsa has already gone over to take a look. Let’s wait.”

Not knowing what was going on ahead, the Elite Team stood on the spot and waited.

There was a commotion among the Warriors in front as they discussed in low voices.

“Do you feel it?”

“Of course I feel it. It’s so obvious.”

“Isn’t this too exaggerated? Is this Legendary-level strength?”

Fang Ping did not know what the people in front of him were talking about, but as they spoke, they kept looking back.

Following their gazes, they turned around. Behind them was the Demon Flame Chimera. Ivan sat cross-legged on his back and closed his eyes to rest.

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s no physical energy around. The energy in such a large area has been absorbed.”

“I heard that the higher the level, the faster the energy increases. I can only increase one point of energy after cultivating for an hour. Looking at Ivan, it should be at least a hundred points, right?”

“I think it should be over a thousand instead.”

Fang Ping understood what they were talking about. Ivan was probably cultivating, absorbing all the energy around him.

At the same time, this situation reminded Fang Ping.

If the higher the level of the profession, the stronger the ability to plunder the surrounding energy, the number of high-level professions in that area would be extremely limited.

The meaning of a territory was different. Apart from being a living space, it was also the ground where the strong were born.

A larger territory would have more energy to nurture more experts.

However, the total area of the land remained unchanged. If he wanted to increase it, he could only plunder and occupy it through war.

This was not only the pursuit of the ruler, but also the needs of all high-level professionals.

Fang Ping recalled what Andre had told Collie when he first came to this world.

The pain would be erased by time, but desires would continue to grow. Although there were no wars between the races now, there were still conflicts. The seemingly peaceful Xiluo Continent was already surging with cracks!

When the survivors of the war died and the pain that spread throughout the world was forgotten, it would be time for a new war.

When he heard Andre say that, he only felt that it was impressive. Now that he thought about it after so long, he felt that Andre really know what’s up.

After the Holy War, there were few high-level professionals of the various races. They had little need for territory, so they could coexist peacefully and recuperate.

After so many years, the pain of war had been forgotten, and the desire to grow was colliding with each other.

Coupled with the cancellation of the nobles nine years ago, what right did the five Dukes have to support the king and cancel their noble statuses, including their own?

No one was stupid. They knew that benefits were eternal. Weakening the influence of the small nobles was actually also increasing their strength.

The Elf City Lord’s Guard was a cavalry unit. James was supported by Grand Duke Roland, and the Saint Lauren Conglomerate had the strongest cavalry unit in the Elf City. These two were not coincidences because they were originally the same team.

The Grand Duke’s interests had never weakened.

Thinking about it again, many things connected.

How did the Black Tiger Gang enter the city defense army?

Why did Ivan emphasize actual combat? He said that there was not much time left for them.

Why did they have to fight on the front line in the battle between the Mountain Trolls and the Gnomes?

Because war had been prepared for a long time.

Fang Ping stood where he was, deep in thought. In the front row, Andre turned around to look at Ivan. He was 1.8 meters tall. He passed through the crowd and happened to meet Fang Ping’s eyes.

“War is coming.”

Fang Ping mouthed at Andre. He did not know if he could understand it.

Andre smiled and nodded.

As expected, Andre was very thoughtful.

He wondered if Ivan was cultivating and accumulating energy here to remind them.

After a while, Elsa returned.

“Be quiet. Follow me.”

He followed Elsa and didn’t walk far before he saw the carriages of the Lord’s Guards parked by the roadside. All the cavalry were gone, and he wondered what had happened ahead.

He placed his backpack beside the carriage, grabbed his weapon, and continued walking.

The slope ahead suddenly became steep, and the ground was white.

Along the way, although the main road of the fortress was frozen, there was actually very little snow. It was all a thin layer.

There was a thick layer of snow on the slope ahead. There were also footprints left by warhorses on the ground, which were five to six centimeters deep.

Raising his head, the hoof prints continued to extend upwards.

There was another ramp covered in snow. If anything really happened in front of them, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the cavalry of the Lord’s Guards.

Not long after, they saw the Lord’s Guards. They looked ahead and were prepared.

However, what were they doing in front? Because they were looking up from below, they were blocked by cavalrymen and could not see.

“Chen Long, follow me. The rest of you, stand by. Once there’s a conflict, retreat first. Fang Ping will take command.”

“Huh?” Fang Ping was stunned. Why was he commanding again? He did not even know what had happened. At least tell him what’s going on first.

Elsa didn’t explain further and walked straight ahead, with the Chen Long following behind.

However, Fang Ping could roughly guess that they had met someone from Fire Dragon City. Otherwise, they would not have let Chen Long go up alone.

Teacher Elsa said that they should retreat first, not immediately. In other words, something might not happen. They could wait and see first before running if there was danger.

“Prepare your skills and use them according to orders,” Fang Ping shouted back.

It had been ten years since he last came here, right?

I pulled my black robe around me.

Everything became unfamiliar, yet everything was so familiar.

He had been wearing this black robe for ten years.

He followed Elsa through the middle of the cavalry. When he walked out, he was faced with a neat row of horses and heavy-armored soldiers holding shields.

At the front of the two teams, there were two people confronting each other. One was Captain James, and the other was wearing silver-white heavy armor. He held his helmet in his hand and looked familiar.
