Why did you mess up the copy again?

In the end, Kong Ji did not return to the Dragon Kingdom's sphere of influence, which put Cheng Wen and others on high alert.

"A trap, I said it was a trap, they just want to take the opportunity to ambush and weaken our strength!"

Among the command level, there were only a few people who were mainly skeptical at first, but after one day and one night passed, their voices became louder.

According to the plan in advance, after such a long time, even if Kong Ji himself did not come back, he should have sent a few demon clans to report the news, instead of just keeping silent.

"Could it be that he sent a demon clan to report the news, but something happened on the way?"

"No way? Those who went with him are elites selected from each tribe, at least at the alert level."

"If it was the double swordsman who took action, maybe"

"Such a big place, but why did NPC from that world happen to meet him?"

"As I said, it must be the Polar Alliance."

Everyone couldn't figure out the situation, and they were discussing each other word by word. Cheng Wen frowned and shouted: "Everyone is quiet, what's the noise? Chen Cheng, you can find a way to check Kong Ji's status immediately."

The prophet Chen Cheng was confused.

You are noisy, why did you suddenly summon me?

It's not that he doesn't care about Kong Ji's safety, the main reason is that there is no clue at present, and Kong Ji's strength is relatively high, so the prediction may not be accurate.

But now that the order came, he had to be patient and start making calculations.

"I will test whether he is alive or dead first."

He took out a piece of yellow paper, which was an epic way-finding talisman. He wanted to use this tool to find a way to find Kong Ji's location.

Wow.

In a burst of blue-yellow flames, the talisman was burned to ashes. Chen Cheng closed his eyes and remained silent for several minutes.

"No, I can't find him."

The sign for directions cannot be found, either blocked by other seers, or dead.

"Commander Cheng, what should we do now?"

Everyone was even more undecided.

The problem now is that they are not sure what happened to Kong Ji. Even if they think he is probably in danger, the reason is still unknown.

Not everyone thought it was a trap of the Polar Alliance. After all, the other party also sent someone like Charles Brown to come alone at that time.

But this matter cannot be verified after all. What if we send someone again and they can't come back? Let the army press forward, if there is a bigger trap, you will not be able to lose.

Cheng Wen pondered for a while and then said: "Increase the number of scouts and do our best to gather information. We also increase patrols on the front lines."

Although the loss of Kongji was heartbreaking, he could not be eager for revenge. Not only that, he instead used a series of orders to make the defense line more stable to prevent accidents from happening.

Even if the Dual Swordsman is real, what if he and the Polar Alliance are not hostile, but have joined forces?

On the other side, Leslie never waited for Kong Ji to come back with support from the Dragon Kingdom. He knew that something must have gone wrong.

"Your Majesty, please let me go again. There must be a misunderstanding." Charles Brown took the initiative.

"I'm going to think about it."

When something goes wrong, either party will start to calculate the gains and losses. This is true for Cheng Wen and the same for Leslie. "If they want to use the swordsman's hand to weaken us, it is not impossible."

Charles said: "But if we fail, will they be able to cope with it? There is an idiom in the Dragon Kingdom called lip death and teeth cold. I think Mr. Cheng must understand this truth."

Leslie shook his head: "No, they have many strong people there, especially the evil ghost in the fog who killed Simon instantly."

At this moment, a hoarse voice broke in.

"What happened?"

Ulysses came over with the help of others.

"you're awake."

It had to be said that Leslie originally had the intention of taking advantage of the Western Kingdom, but now that he saw this man regaining consciousness, he felt sincerely happy.

"I heard you say that the Dragon Kingdom is unwilling to join forces? This won't work. We must convince them that we are not strong enough. And if they are around to deter us, our strategy of rounding up the NPCs in that world will also be affected. Ahem, cough. .”

It appears that Ulysses has not fully recovered from his injuries.

Leslie had no choice but to recount what happened after Kongji arrived.

"Why."

After hearing this, Ulysses shook his head in frustration. It seemed that the injury had also affected his spirit. In the past, he would not have shown depression. "I was intercepted. Most likely it was an encounter on the way back." World NPC, there is suspicion in the Dragon Kingdom."

Leslie frowned and said, "I also think it's possible, but I'm not sure."

"You can't hesitate anymore at this time. You find a team of people with sufficient strength. I have to go there in person so that I can gain their trust." Ulysses said. This decision surprised Leslie. He didn't expect this person. He was actually willing to put himself in danger.

In contrast, the archbishop, who is known for his caution, does not have such courage.

While the two were discussing, someone came to report again.

"Master Bishop, the NPC in that world did not stay with us anymore. He entered the sphere of influence of the Dragon Kingdom."

"Um?"

Ulysses' eyebrows suddenly raised. He thought for a while and looked at Leslie, "Ha, cough, cough, if that's the case, the situation will be different. Why don't we wait and see?"

Leslie almost immediately agreed with this bickering behavior.

Ulysses wanted to take risks personally for his own benefit. He didn't want his potential members to be eliminated when there were still many spoils to be gained. Now he chose to sit back and watch, also because of his own interests.

Of course he is anxious when the bomb is in his hands. If it reaches the opposing camp, then there is nothing to worry about.

When Li Rui arrived at the south, he had no time to rest, so he and Cheng Mingyue traveled south day and night.

"Are you so anxious?"

Cheng Mingyue said, "I have heard of Zuo Qoutian, but the man with the knife you mentioned is just his subordinate, right?"

Li Rui shook his head: "I can't say much. What is certain is that they are not necessarily in a superior-subordinate relationship, and the Dual Swordsman is not necessarily much weaker than him. The key is that their group has brain problems, and they must be open-minded. Killer, we must go back as soon as possible."

It's not that he is arrogant for thinking this way. The key is that he knows the strength of Zuo Qoutian's group very well. If it is limited to level 50 or below, no one is sure of winning in a duel. But if he adds Cheng Mingyue, even if they can't guarantee a sure kill, , and definitely the most threatening.

While they were on their way, the Dragon Kingdom headquarters also became extremely nervous because they received a report that they found the corpses of a whole team of scouts in the reconnaissance range not far from the front line.

Cheng Wen took this matter very seriously and personally went to the place where the incident occurred to observe.

"Commander Cheng, all were killed instantly, and he didn't even have a chance to resist."

The scout who discovered this place said eagerly, "Not only that, not a single plant or tree around was harmed. The murderer left with just one strike without leaving any trace."

Looking at the extraordinary beings and monsters on the ground, Cheng Wen frowned. He flipped his wrist and shook out a handful of talismans.

An adjutant next to him noticed this little move and immediately alerted him.

"Small"

He wanted to be careful, but the second half of the word was stuck in his throat before he could say it, because a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat appeared in front of him without any warning. (End of chapter)
