The three major forces all led their armies to fight here.
To say it was killing was actually a bit too much. Although the armies were murderous, they were only stationed in three directions outside the city and did not directly attack the capital.
To say it was a large army was actually a bit too much, because each of the three families sent only tens of thousands of troops.
After the previous wars between the three families, each family's military strength was severely reduced, and their food and grass were low. Apart from the troops and horses used to defend the border, these were the most troops and horses that the three families could pull out.
The heads of the three families are here. They are here to participate in the martial arts conference.
The reason why they brought the army over was to force the Jin royal family to fulfill their promise and take out the inheritance of the sacred fire.
After all, no one knows whether the Jin royal family will break their promise and refuse to pass on the sacred fire.
Secondly, it is the ambition of the three families.
They just wait for the final winner to be decided, no matter whose strong family has obtained the inheritance of the Holy Fire, they will directly send an army into the imperial city to force the Jin royal family to abdicate and change the dynasty.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed outside the city, and the mere ten or twenty thousand guards in the capital are absolutely unable to withstand them.
The entire capital city and all residents are in panic.
They were afraid, afraid that the flames of war would burn in the capital again.
Previously, many refugees came to the capital, and the local residents heard about the cruelty and tragedy of the war from the refugees' mouths.
Before, I could just ignore it and just ignore it.
Now, when the haze of war hangs over their heads, they also panic.
The obedient and loyal people at the feet of the emperor prayed one after another, hoping that the Jin royal family could honestly pass on the sacred fire and let the three families compete for it.
After all, no matter who is the ruler, it is impossible to kill all the people.
Their heads have just changed their masters.
The entire Jin Dynasty's ranger sects came to the capital one after another. For a while, the prices of the inns in the capital increased one after another.
I used to live in an inn and was the cashier.
Now, everyone has changed to accepting fire crystals, and even the most remote inns have increased the price to ten fire crystals per night.
This price scares off many cash-strapped rangers, but even with such a high price, it is still difficult to find a room in the entire capital.
Many people, seeing business opportunities, vacated their rooms and turned them into bed and breakfasts for the rangers to live in and make a fortune along the way.
There are a lot of rangers, but not too many.
After all, this world is not big, and is dominated by dynasty forces. It is not like the Lei Feng world, where thousands of sects stand. The top ones are the six major families and the three major sects. There is no fixed unified force as a unified force.
.
But here, there are similarities with the Thunderwind Realm, that is, many powerful people will join the three major forces in order to obtain better resources.
The structure of the Lei Feng Realm seems to be loose, but in fact it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Nine major forces divide the central domain, and the forces within their territories must obey the orders of their masters.
And this place is less like a fantasy world and more like a martial arts world.
The rangers here are similar to the casual cultivators in the Lei Feng world, there are many, but they are not strong.
This is a grand event. Every ranger has the dream of becoming the strongest person in the world, and they also have the grand dream of unifying the world for eternity.
Therefore, when there was news that a martial arts conference was going to be held, the entire ranger sect in the world got drunk.
They didn't even care much about who would inherit the Holy Fire inheritance.
What they care more about is this grand gathering that brings together the entire elite of the world.
This is a feast for strong men like them, and it is an event destined to be remembered by the world for eternity.
Heroes from all over the world gathered in the capital for a martial arts conference, and the heroes competed!
Just thinking about it makes these high-spirited rangers intoxicated.
No one will miss this event.
Wan Lei and the other three are also rangers, although Wan Lei looks down on rangers as a group.
Especially when he heard the rangers sitting at the tables next to him talking loudly about the greatness of this martial arts tournament, and even arguing about who was the strongest in the world, blushing and even wanting to draw swords against each other,
Wan Lei looked down upon them even more.
What does this martial arts tournament have to do with these people?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. It calls for heroes from all over the world to participate in a grand event. Everyone in the world competes for the throne. Anyone can participate. In the end, the strongest winner will be chosen to inherit the sacred flame.
However, three of the four strongest people in this world are in the three major forces.
This was just a strategy devised by the Jin royal family to divide the three families.
This is just money that the three major forces put money on their faces in order to compete for the inheritance of the Holy Fire, but they don't want to be said to be too ugly.
You people, to put it bluntly, are just the audience, just here to shout "666", are you really treating yourselves like onions?
I really think I have a chance to get the first place. I really think you can wait until the four powerful players die together, and then go up and pick up the slack yourself?
You're a fool.
What are you so excited about?
These people, just like me, come to this restaurant to drink because they have no place to live. If they really want to come early, why not find a guest room to sleep in?
Why are you here pretending to be close friends, changing glasses, cooking wine, and talking about heroes?
The sound of discussions among these idiots around him made Wan Lei uneasy.
The three of them stood up, threw down a fire crystal, jumped out of the window, and came to the street.
There are many people on the street.
It was clear that everyone was in danger, and the army was besieging the city outside, but the city became lively and prosperous because of the influx of many rangers.
However, these prosperity, seemingly economically developed, are actually just a flash in the pan, just like the rootless duckweed. Once the martial arts conference is over and the rangers leave, the prosperity here will immediately be extinguished like the virtual fire.
They walked towards the west of the city.
To the south of the capital city is a stretch of mountains, to the north is a meandering river, and to the west is a plain with a radius of hundreds of miles.
During the war, the hundreds of miles of plains were the most difficult place to fortify and the most troublesome place for the defenders. They often became the place where the two armies fought decisively.
But now, the martial arts conference is held, and this place has immediately become a good place.
There is no more suitable place than here to serve as the main battlefield for the martial arts competition.
Is it possible that you want everyone to duel in the square in front of the imperial city gate?
That's impossible.
As soon as they arrived, tens of thousands of people gathered, but there was no room for so many people. Moreover, these people were a mixed bag of people from all religions and professions. They were noisy and detrimental to the dignity of the royal family.
Secondly, with so many people gathering, what if there is a mutiny and the palace is stormed?
Thirdly, the Imperial City Square is too small. Not to mention other things, those powerful beastmen are all tall, especially the giant lava phoenix, whose body is as big as half the capital. As the capital is a battlefield, I am afraid that after defeating the capital,
