Just as today's birthday banquet was held for Drexel, he himself, the birthday boy, was willing to become a foil.
Drassel was naturally favored by countless nobles. Even Guan Susu, who was standing next to Drassel, was pulled away by many young ladies who wanted to save the country through curves and get in touch with the Royal Palace of Drassel.
Guan Susu's unique treatment and beautiful appearance have overshadowed many ladies.
This banquet, in the later stage, completely turned into a welcome banquet for Drasel. This was the first time Dresel came to Nanshan City and the first time in public. Many nobles had a strong interest in Drasel.
, In the past, they asked to see Drassel countless times, but they were all turned away by the Prince of Drassel. Now, being able to see Drassel with their own eyes naturally requires a lot of flattery, and there are many aristocratic families who are willing to sincerely accept Drassel's words.
.
Just when De La Serre was having a good time among the many nobles, those who had ulterior motives for the De La Palace also started their own actions, and the Zhang family was among them.
After confirming that it was Russell himself who came to the He family, Zhang Wanshan waved to his subordinates, who took a few steps back and left secretly.
Not long after, many black shadows appeared on the only way to Hejiabao. These black shadows came and went like the wind, and moved as fast as lightning. They took advantage of the darkness to quickly arrive at the designated place, and then lurked silently, waiting for their prey.
Come to your door proactively...
The birthday banquet of the He family gave Drexel a preliminary understanding of the major nobles in Nanshan City, and he became familiar with them. Most of the guests at the banquet expressed their sincerity to Drexel.
, or promising property, or introducing beauties, and doing everything possible to express goodwill to Russell. These are common diplomatic methods between nobles. Russell neither refused nor agreed, just
Chatting with them about the daily life of Nanshan City made many nobles unable to figure out what the lord was thinking.
While chatting with these nobles, Russell could clearly feel their factions.
Among the forces in the entire Nanshan City, the only ones who can speak and have sufficient status are the Yan family, the Zhang family and the He family. The Yan family and the Mu family are originally the same family, and some second-rate nobles who are attached to the Yan family treat Dela
Serge has a clear sense of humility, a respectful demeanor, and a more friendly tone.
As for the forces belonging to the Zhang family, although they were very respectful to Russell, they could still tell the distance between their words. Even if the Zhang family advocated Wanshan, they only treated Russell superficially.
The Zhang family in Nanshan City is distantly related to the Zhang family in Qingshan City. The Zhang family in Qingshan City has a close relationship with the Murong family. In addition, the Zhang family in Nanshan City also has some intersection with the Murong family. This is destined that the Zhang family in Nanshan City will stand on the side of the Murong family.
The opposite of Deira Palace.
As for the He family, Drassel could not see any clues. It seemed that the He family wanted to be in the middle and not help each other. They were polite enough to Drassel and showed enough goodwill, but not too close. They should be prepared.
Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. After all, the Zhang family is connected to Nanshan City and Qingshan City, the two cities, and has the support of the Murong family behind them. It is difficult for the He family to make a position. If the two cannot help each other, for them, it is
the best.
As for the younger generation in Nanshan City, the most famous ones are the Nanshan Erjie; Zhang Yun of the Zhang family, whom Russell has already met, is quite capable, but not steady enough in his work, and is a bit arrogant, a bit like a frog in a well; in comparison,
, He Tiancheng of the He family is much more reserved, not as exaggerated as those playboys, but in terms of strength, he may be slightly inferior to Zhang Jie.
It was already late at night after this boring banquet was over. Drassel took Guan Susu's hand and got into the carriage escorted by a group of nobles and members of the He family. Drassel said curiously: "Su Su
Miss Su seems to be very familiar with such occasions. Just now, I saw Su Su having a very lively chat with those aristocratic ladies."
"Your Majesty, Susu has attended many banquets like this before, so she is more accustomed to it."
"I don't like this kind of boring banquet. My father took me to several state banquets in the past, but I don't like that kind of scene where everyone flatters each other. I would rather stay in the military camp." At this time, Della.
Serge is quite honest.
"Hahaha, maybe the military camp is more suitable for the prince. Your prince, my servant will help you go back." Guan Susu is indeed very pleasant. Not only is he versatile, he is also smart. He knows what to say and what not to say. Even Drase
Erdu feels that Guan Susu is very considerate.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the He family, Luo Cheng drove a carriage and left Hejiapu.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and today's night seemed unusually peaceful. Russell glanced outside the car and looked at the sky with interest, with some expectation in his eyes.
On the quiet official road, a carriage was speeding. Just as it passed a small forest, a large group of men in black suddenly burst out of the woods. A row of dozens of men in black were seen, holding bows and arrows, and firing volleys.
In an instant, countless powerful arrow feathers seemed to shoot the carriage into a honeycomb.
"Ding ding..." A series of metal collision sounds, as well as the sparks produced by metal friction, were extremely dazzling in the dark night.
A hail of arrows only killed a few horses, but did not penetrate the carriage. A layer of dark metal was exposed outside the carriage's box.
The leader in black said: "Black Black Iron! Unfortunately, it has no effect." The man in black bent his bow, attached all his spiritual power to the arrow, and shot through the carriage made of Black Black Iron with one arrow.
Russell fell out of the carriage instantly, while Luo Cheng stayed by his side.
Russell: "To be able to shoot through such thick black black iron with one arrow using spiritual power, it seems that the opponent's strength has reached the Earth Martial Realm." Black black iron is a very common ore on the mainland. It is extremely hard, but it is also
It is bulky and often used to make armor. It is difficult to shoot through if you are not at the Earth Martial Realm.
Seeing Drasser coming out, the men in black immediately put down their bows and arrows and surrounded Drasser.
"Dressell, just go ahead and capture him. Maybe you can still live."
"Being caught by you is no better than dying. Besides, I don't think I need to surrender."
"Hahaha, you are so ignorant. I didn't expect that you, a majestic prince, would be so lax. You only brought one guard with you when traveling. You are looking for death." After saying that, the man in black waved his hand and fired a volley of arrows, killing Guan Susu and Cui.
My son also forced me down together.
Even in the face of the current situation, Guan Susu remained calm, but the fear in her eyes betrayed her. Cui'er's words turned pale with fright.
"Oh, the women I brought with me are quite stunning. I can just reward my brothers. Come on, arrest these two women as well." After saying that, a group of men in black had already gathered around with a chuckle.
Guan Susu plucked up the courage and shouted: "How brave, do you know that this is King Dela, and he dares to openly assassinate you? Don't you want to live?"
The man in black laughed: "Hahaha, if he were not King Dera, I wouldn't have to go out personally. Brothers, take it down!"
A group of people attacked Drasel. Luo Cheng acted instantly, drew out the sword from his waist, and killed several men in black who were approaching with one strike at extremely fast speeds.
The leader of the men in black was startled and said: "It is indeed the Prince of Dela. Just one guard can have such strength. I'm here to meet you." As he said that, the surrounding spiritual energy began to gather towards the leader of the men in black, and then
It is attached around the body to form a spiritual armor. This is the signature ability of a strong person in the Earth Martial Realm. It can mobilize the surrounding spiritual energy for its own use. Not only is the spiritual power more powerful, but the physical strength is also more durable. Pull out a big sword and carry a fierce wind.
Come on.
Luo Cheng raised his sword to block. The powerful force forced Luo Cheng back a few steps, but he was not at a disadvantage. Luo Cheng's strength was outstanding among his peers. It was not surprising that he had the ability to fight across levels. After all, Earthly Martial Arts
Realm warriors are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and Luo Cheng's strength is already comparable to that of a strong person in the Earth martial realm. This is also one of the reasons why Luo Cheng can become Drasel's guard.
Without Luo Cheng, only Russell, Guan Susu and Cui'er were left in the field, and their opponents were dozens of men in black, including more than a dozen Human Martial Realm warriors.
Facing the test of life and death.
Russell was very calm from beginning to end, while Guan Susu and Cui'er were a little scared and kept hiding next to Russell.
Russell glanced at Guan Susu and said: "Susu, if the fight starts later, you two will see the opportunity and leave first. Their target is me, so they won't embarrass you too much."
Guan Susu hesitated for a while and said: "No, Su Su said that you are a member of the palace in life and a ghost of the palace in death. How can you leave alone at this time? Although the slaves are not strong, they can still deal with a few.
"As he said that, he also took out his dagger and prepared to fight.
The man in black would not give them time. Several martial arts warriors had already rushed forward. Drasel grabbed the arm of a man in black with one hand and twisted it directly. Then he quickly reached out with his other hand and grabbed it.
Cut the opponent's throat, break his neck, and kill him directly.
The attack was clean and neat, and the shot was as fast as lightning. It shocked the opponent all of a sudden and made several men in black behind them show a hint of timidity.
Looking at the frightened man in black, Russell said: "What's wrong? You were so aggressive just now and wanted to catch me! Why are you standing still now and not taking action?"
"Everyone, get on here! He's only one person!" Seeing someone flinching, the leader of the man in black immediately warned.
Everyone gritted their teeth and continued to attack. More than a dozen men in black surrounded Drasser. They all took out their weapons and attacked Drasser. They chopped left and right, punched and kicked, and the fight was very enjoyable. However,
These rapid attacks were unable to hurt Drasser at all, and he was perfectly dodged by Drasser.
Russell's figure seems casual, but his movements are smooth and his steps are brisk. He can easily dodge many attacks by taking a few steps back at will. The gap in combat experience is obvious.
In the military camp, Drassel often called on dozens of powerful warriors to besiege him, but in the end, Drassel unilaterally killed his opponents. The elite soldiers of the Royal Palace of Drassel were almost killed by Drassel.
It cast a psychological shadow. Their seemingly perfect cooperation was ridiculous in Russell's eyes. Russell's perception, reaction, movement, body control and other abilities perfectly crushed everyone, and his combat experience
The gap is huge, and the strength is not at the same level at all.
De La Serre possesses soul power that is far more than twice that of an ordinary person, which means that his perception ability is extraordinary. Moreover, he has inherited thousands of years of combat experience from the Burning Sky Evil Emperor. To the enemy, De La Serre can do whatever he wants.
Walking and moving at will are all exquisite body skills. After countless battles, you can sum up the most exquisite dodge route! Moreover, due to the effect of Mortal Saint Body, Drasel's ability to control the body
, is also far incomparable to others. All these factors have created Russell's invincible posture at the same level.
I saw Russell seemed to have eyes behind him, accurately predicting the attack path of the sneak attacker behind him, instantly moving a step to the left, leaning against the opponent's weapon to avoid the attack, and in an instant he raised his foot and kicked the opponent backwards.
Dantian, with its powerful force, instantly kicked out the opponent's Dantian. The man in black also vomited blood and died after twitching for a few times.
Scenes like this are still happening. Drassel's power is too strong. Compared with physical strength alone, Drassel is confident that compared with ordinary Earth Martial Realm experts, he will be hit head-on by such a powerful force. In addition to
A few high-level warriors in the Human Martial Realm were able to survive, but some other low-level warriors could only be killed instantly when faced with Drasser's attack.
Just like this, Russell struck left and right, flexibly dodged the attack, and counterattacked in an instant, hitting the vital point with one blow, like the god of death in the night, harvesting countless lives! In today's battlefield, it is almost impossible to tell who is who.
The killer, who is the prey.
The gap in combat experience is really too big. These abilities alone are far inferior to Drassel's killer, and he is not even qualified to let Drassel warm up.
I saw that Drassel snatched the enemy's sword smoothly, and after beheading the enemy, he threw out the sword and pierced the man in black who wanted to sneak attack Cui'er. All his movements were smooth and smooth, just like Drassel.
Serge just threw a crap out there.
After only a few minutes of siege, most of the men in black had already fallen down, but Drasel was still uninjured. That casual and calm manner of killing had scared all the men in black to death, not only the men in black.
, even Guan Susu was impressed by Drasel's power, his eyes full of surprise.
"What's wrong, are you not going to take action?" Russell took a few steps forward, and all the men in black immediately took a few steps back.
Seeing the scene on the field, Russell clapped his hands and said: "Bo interesting, I thought some interesting people would come, but unexpectedly, they only sent some rabble to test me. I really can't figure out what those people are thinking.
What a waste of such a good opportunity.”
Russell shouted: "Come out!" After giving the order, nearly a hundred people immediately emerged from the surrounding woods, and the leader was Wu Yong.
Nearly a hundred elite members of the Dera Palace surrounded the remaining men in black in an instant.
Wu Yong walked up to Drasel, knelt down on one knee and said, "See you, young master."
"Wu Yong, you handled the information in a very timely manner this time. You were able to detect a group of bandits in advance. They entered Nanshan City and wanted to harm me. You have made a meritorious service and will be rewarded with 100 military merits. All the soldiers who participated in the operation will be rewarded with 20 points.
"
Military Merit Points is a reward and punishment system developed by De La Serre. Every soldier enrolled in the Royal Palace of De La Serre will be issued a separate crystal card, which will record the soldier's personal information. It is similar to the ID card in the previous life and can also be used to record military merit points.
, Military merit points can be used to exchange for various supplies in the army, or military skills, and the number of military merit points is also an important factor in the promotion of soldiers.
In fact, there were similar means of recording military merit in the former Deira Palace Army. However, only a small number of generals had these military merit cards, and ordinary soldiers did not have them. It was De La Serre who suggested that the general merit cards be issued to all Deira Palace.
The promotion among military officers also greatly improved the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers.
"Subordinate, I feel ashamed. Although we have discovered that the bandits are trying to harm the young master, we have lost track of the person behind the contact with the bandits. I have not been able to grasp the information about the person behind the scenes. It is my fault.
It’s not going well.”
"It's not your fault. The other party is indeed very careful, and his strength is not bad. It's not surprising that he loses track. It's just that you can't make any more mistakes in the follow-up tracking."
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely find out the person behind the scenes!"
On the other side, the battle between Luo Cheng and the leader of the men in black has also entered a fever pitch. Perhaps seeing a large group of people appear, the leader of the men in black has realized that he and others have fallen into a trap, and has already decided to retreat.
The attack rhythm has been disrupted.
But Luo Cheng kept fighting and had no intention of letting him go. The leader of the man in black was just the leader of a group of bandits. Although his realm barely broke through to the Earth Martial Realm, his martial arts and martial arts were still relatively weak. Fighting against Luo Cheng,
There is no advantage at all.
Seeing Luo Cheng still fighting, Wu Yong said: "Young Master, do you need to help Major General Luo?"
"Don't worry, the leader of the men in black is not very strong, his spiritual power is a bit frivolous, and his martial arts are unremarkable. Until now, he only relied on his slight advantage in realm. Brother Luo can handle it by himself. By the way, this leader of the men in black is not very strong.
Who is this, a bandit leader, who can actually break through to the Earth Martial Realm? It seems he has a good talent."
"Back to Young Master, this man is the second in command of Heifeng Village. Heifeng Village is the largest bandit gang around Qingshan City. It is much stronger than Hungry Wolf Village. He is also a powerful figure in the bandit circle."
While speaking, Luo Cheng had already seized the gap when his opponent was eager to retreat, and stabbed out with his sword, hitting the opponent's thigh very accurately. The powerful spiritual power invaded the opponent's meridians and cut off the opponent's foot meridians.
"Ah..." With a scream, the leader of the men in black fell. Luo Cheng pursued the victory and used a sword again to cut off the opponent's right hand.
"Ah...my hand..." The shrill scream sounded again, but no one wanted to listen to the scream of a loser.
A carefully prepared assassination ended like this, which seemed a bit hasty...
All the captured assassins were handed over to Wu Yong. Russell was not interested in these bandits and said to Luo Cheng: "Tomorrow, spread the news and say that I was assassinated and seriously injured in bed. I will refuse all visitors."
!”
"My subordinate understands!"
He ordered Wu Yong to deal with the scene and said: "Susu, let's go back."
"Ah..." Guan Susu was still shocked. It wasn't until Drasel shouted that he came back to his senses and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is indeed a genius. At such a young age, he is already so powerful."
"Hahaha, these assassins are too weak. They are all a mob. If they were regular assassins, they wouldn't be able to deal with them so easily. Okay, let's go back."
Under the escort of everyone, Drasel and others returned to the palace safely.
After returning to his residence, Guan Susu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I never expected that Drasel's strength was so powerful, and the guards around him could actually kill an Earth Martial Realm warrior head-on.
This Royal Palace of Deira is worthy of being a first-class power in the past."
Cui'er: "Miss, isn't this better? The stronger the palace is, the more useful it will be to us."
Guan Susu sighed and said: "You little fool, can't you see that tonight is actually a test for us? They clearly ambushed a group of elites, but they didn't tell us that Russell was doubting us.
"
Cui'er's little mind finally realized the danger and said: "Yeah, it's a good thing we didn't escape at that time and faced the enemy with them, otherwise, our situation would have been dangerous."
"I really don't know, Sister Yueying, how they collect intelligence. This guy Russell is completely different from what the intelligence says. Not only is he powerful and mentally determined, he is also cautious in handling things.
Reckless, now I am beginning to doubt whether I can confuse him."
"Young lady is so beautiful, she will definitely be able to complete the task. Didn't Russell look at the young lady differently at today's banquet?"
"However, I don't feel at all that Russell has a good impression of me. At best, it's just a little appreciation. This... this is too far away from liking me."
"Then... Miss, do we need to change our approach? Cui Er looks at Russell and seems to like the military camp very much. It can be seen that he likes strong people. If Miss can show enough talent, maybe..."
Guan Susu was shocked and immediately said happily: "Haha, Cui'er's idea is great. The Mu family is an authentic military family. When choosing a princess, the first thing is to have extraordinary talent in cultivation, whether it is Dela
Ser's mother and Xue'er are both very talented in cultivation. If I want to win the favor of Dra Ser, then I must show enough strength!"
After hesitation, Guan Susu said: "Cui'er, find an opportunity, leave the palace and go to Mingyue Tower, find Sister Xianyin, and ask her to give me the antidote to remove the poison that limits our strength. I want to return to the past.
Strength."
Tweety: "Oh, then Tweety go and think of a solution."
The next few days were quite peaceful. News of Drasser's injury also spread. Many nobles indeed came to offer condolences, but they were all rejected by Drasser. Nothing major happened in the palace.
Yan's mother and Xue'er were busy with their own affairs, and Russell himself was also very busy. The planting of various crops in the military camp, the training, rewards and punishments of the soldiers all needed to be supervised by Russell himself.
