Rick, who sneaked back to the dormitory, only felt that he was sweating and was afraid. As long as any malicious professor at that time exposed it, there were more than a hundred earth-level masters and hundreds of human-level masters at that time, even if he only used a flying sword to give Rick who had failed to invisibility, the power of the people was strong, and Rick could already have a premonition of the miserable life of lying in bed for the rest of his life...
In just over half a month, he spent so many troubles. In the final test, Rick only showed some real skills. He had already succeeded. After that, he was ready to travel through time at any time. The business on Earth was left to Edland to take full control. Rick was not shipped before he came back...
In a rarely-popular wasteland in Rami County, Kaya Continent, a small black spot appeared for no reason under the sunshine, and it did not slowly stabilize until it expanded into a gate.
A shabby Volkswagen sedan had jumped out of the new black hole and stopped for a long time to stop dozens of meters in front of the black hole. The black hole gradually shrank after the shabby sedan stopped and disappeared.
After sucking the experience of the last time, during this time, Rick used the Angri flying car he bought from the arrest to protect himself. Finally, he did not come out in a mess like last time. Although he was still squeezed by space foam, after Rick continued to reuse the energy crystal to enrich the defensive barrier of the car, he only suffered a devastating blow on the outer shell of the car. From the appearance, it looked like he was a street gangster who used violent means to graffiti randomly, which was terrible, but there was no loss inside. Except for the serious consumption of energy crystals, the others were all small problems in Rick's opinion.
Opening the car door, Rick came out of the broken car, saw the pitiful appearance of the car, shook his head, and then took out a large can of spray paint from the space ring, and directly sprayed the car into black casually. After a little bit of it, Rick put paraffin on the car and put a few protective magics. The flying car regained its heroic posture of living in Japan.
He nodded with satisfaction and looked at the sky. It was probably noon on the Kaya continent. Rick put the car into the space ring, looked at the direction, and a floating magic was released. Rick, who was flying, flew towards the direction of Black Rock City.
It was 807th year of the mainland Haitian Calendar, and the 87th emperor of the Haitian Empire passed away (the poor emperor did not have a formal name from beginning to end, ah...). The Haitian Empire also had a throne crisis after the Blacktian Empire.
The Emperor of the Black Sky Empire was officially scored by his eldest prince Shamans, Holman, the second prince Carter Holman and the third prince Fenhe Holman. The other two princes with inheritance were already killed in the initial battle for the throne. Among them, the eldest prince Shamans had a strong strength and power, and after receiving the support of the Claw Legion, the strongest legion of the original Black Sky Empire, he gained nearly half of the territory of the original Black Sky Empire. He also obtained the imperial capital, a political city.
The second prince Cartero and the third prince Fenhe were supported by their respective local troops and obtained nearly a quarter of the territory of the original Black Sky Empire. However, since the army's strength was far inferior to their elder brother, the two sides finally joined forces at the suggestion of their respective military advisors to fight against the advancement of the eldest prince Shamans.
The crisis of the throne of the Haitian Empire was much worse. Although it had not yet been split, the emperor's candidate was still not decided after more than a month after the emperor passed away. The princes questioned the legitimacy of the succession rights of other princes or whether they were qualified to succeed. The political power of the Haitian Empire was in turmoil.
The most worrying thing is the already divided Black Sky Empire. Although Emperor Shamans Holman of the Black Sky Empire was named emperor of the capital and owned nearly half of the territory, the Black Sky Empire was originally a country with strong military strength, but land was poor and economically low. Especially the second and third princes, although the military strength was slightly worse than that of the eldest prince, they were successful in mastering nearly two-thirds of the fertile land and most economic cities except the imperial capital.
Therefore, although Shamans had a much stronger military force than his two younger brothers, he was unable to recover the territory occupied by the two princes. In addition, his economic strength was low, and the maintenance of the army was even more tense. However, when the Emperor of the Haitian Empire died of illness and the throne crisis occurred, Shamans and Holman resolutely reached a temporary peace treaty with his two younger brothers, targeting his main military force at the rich Haitian Empire, and the war was about to break out.
When the news that Hei Tian's military operations were obviously facing Hai Tian came, Hai Tian's throne crisis not only did not ease at all, but as the war approached, the forces of all parties accelerated the pace of compromise, negotiation, and betrayal. The throne crisis was becoming increasingly serious. No one knew where the princes who had their own control of a large number of political forces, economic forces and military strength would eventually lead the Hai Tian Empire.
Coincidentally, the harsh situation of the two superpowers Heitian and Haitian also spread to the entire Eastern Continent and even the entire continent. Since many countries close to the Heitian Empire firmly believe that Heitian does not have the strength to penetrate into the Haitian Empire, then for some small countries that are closer to the Heitian Empire, it is definitely a disaster. Perhaps the Black Heaven Empire, which has not achieved its goal, will the Black Heaven Empire bring its magic hand deep towards them? Even the army heading to the Haitian Empire is also the Black Heaven Empire's smoke-raising bombs? And the real direction of war is actually these small countries?
The mainland is like a gunpowder barrel that will explode at any time. The remarks of the mainland's full-scale war began to spread slowly throughout the continent. Many desperate nobles even began to commit suicide, and more of them accelerated the purchase and hoarding of war supplies. Various strategic materials were lost to the warehouses of the country, army, and clans. With the purchase of these war items, many people's livelihood supplies such as grain grids also rose. The people complained about this. Many unstable places even had public riots, but they quickly subsided with the intervention of the powerful army, but the underwater foam in the secret was still surging...
It was under such circumstances that Rick came to the walls of Black Rock City, and watched the entire Black Rock City patrol like a war-like soldiers. The city gate was closed and only a small door opened. Countless people and merchants lined up in and out.
Rick frowned at this. Could it be that the Black Sky Empire is coming to attack again? Is it necessary for them?
When he flew under the city wall, he saw Rick's soldiers flying early on, but he looked alert. Even the noble Deer Mage is not allowed to be placed in the city casually in this semi-war state. It must be checked intact!
"Dear Magician, please show your identity certificate, otherwise you will not have the right to let anyone enter the city!" The little soldier said politely to Rick who was approaching, but no one could see the vigilant and suspicious eyes!
Looking at the wary soldier in front of him, Rick smiled and said, "I am Rick, your lord. What's going on? You actually need a second-level combat readiness?" The second-level combat readiness was created by Rick's father. Of course, it was actually from the pirated version of the earth. Only the soldiers of Black Rock City understood the real meaning. Other places are war and warning.
Although the soldier was surprised, he did not immediately admit Rick's identity. He did not respectfully put Rick into the city after Rick showed the token of the city lord and notified the captain in the city to report the news of the city lord's return.
After waiting in the reception room within the city wall for a short time, Hank, the commander-in-chief of the city defense, and Akreliano, the captain of the lord guard, arrived and finally officially confirmed Rick's identity.
When he returned to the lord's mansion, Rick immediately asked the question in his heart: "What's going on? Why do you carry out second-level combat preparations?"
Hank and Akure were both serious. Hank sorted out the excitement of seeing Rick return for the first time and then slowly explained the recent situation of the Haitian Empire and the situation of the Black Sky Empire to Rick in detail. He also mentioned the situation of Black Rock City after Rick left. It also pointed out that Viscount Rice, the deputy city lord Ogden family, once wanted to change the structure of the city's officials, but after Rick's original team and the lord did not return, Tan could not change it himself, and finally did not succeed. He listened to Hank's report and said
Ming, Rick fell into deep thought. The Emperor of the Haitian Empire died? Although the old guy is a little older, he shouldn't die so soon, right? There seems to be some tricks in this, but Rick cannot guess the facts for the time being. However, the crisis of the throne really makes Rick feel that the future of the Haitian Empire is really not optimistic. Perhaps the Black Sky Empire does not have the strength to attack Haitian for the time being. This time, the situation may be relatively big for attacking other small countries, but it is hard to guarantee that even if there is no attack now, what will happen in the future?
No wonder Black Rock City is going to carry out second-level combat preparations. In such a chaotic situation, if the Black Sky launches all the troops to attack, Fort Lille will not have the ability to continue to resist. Especially since the princes are aiming at the throne, no one will easily mobilize the troops in their hands to marry others. Fort Lille is even more in danger!
It was not until Hank and Akre arranged new defenses and orders that Rick had time to greet Bonn. After obtaining new information from Bonn, Rick learned from Bonn that Natasha was no longer in Black Rock City, but had obtained some information and flew to Dragon Canyon. Rick was a little worried about his husband. Unexpectedly, Natasha had returned to Dragon Canyon. Could something happened to the Dragon Clan? Or did her parents ask her to go back?
After thinking about it, Rick temporarily planned to stabilize in Black Rock City. Now the situation in Haitian is a bit subtle. No one can say whether Haitian will split like the Black Sky Empire, nor can he say when Black Sky will start the horn of war. Rami County and Black Rock City, which are at the junction of Haitian Empire and Black Sky Empire, are stepping on a balance point.
Rick and Bonn discussed that since the location of Black Rock City is indeed a bit special, it can face the rich land of Haitian and the downward block the front of Black Sky attacking Haitian, and can also strike its transportation channel head-on when Black Sky attacks to those small countries. Therefore, no matter whether the Black Sky Empire attacks Haitian or bullies those small countries, the first one to lose care or attack is Black Rock City. Originally, Black Rock City's military strength and defense system could not face the Black Sky Empire, but with Rick, the dragon knight, it was different. It was equivalent to combat power of more than 10,000 soldiers, and it was a huge threat to the rear of the attack troops of the Black Sky Empire!
