Chapter 502
“I, I…”
In the middle region filled with gray fog, Barkley reached out and touched his neck. The great fear of facing death made him unable to come back to his senses.
“The spiritual s.p.a.ce is too real. It is not something that the so-called illusion can compare to…”
he murmured.
The coldness of the sword, the suffocating feeling of being cut in the throat, the feeling of consciousness before death gradually faded away, and the feeling of being pulled into the abyss was incomparably real.
It was no wonder that battles in the spiritual s.p.a.ce could not only enrich battle experience, but the great terror between life and death was more helpful for breakthroughs.
It was not terrible to be stuck in a bottleneck, and it was good to die once.
Barkley gradually came back to his senses and recalled the battle just now.
The pure white s.p.a.ce of battle unfolded in front of him.
The hard floor reflected shiny weapons. A figure holding a long sword and wearing a combat suit appeared hundreds of meters away from him.
The figure rushed forward.
Barkley also fearlessly held a long spear in his hand to meet the attack.
Then, the opponent’s speed suddenly increased. He twisted his body in a manner that he could not understand and suddenly appeared beside him. Before he could react, he swung his sword and beheaded.
[time used: 0.96s. ]
“?”
So I couldn’t even last a second?
Am I actually so weak?
Barkley could not believe that he had been defeated so miserably… Perhaps it was the first time that he had been caught unprepared because he had been shocked by the reality of s.p.a.ce. Yes, that must be it.
He chose to match again.
“An opponent who is one level lower than me…”
Barkley clenched his lance and looked at his opponent who was holding two blades.
A battle,
Barkley took more than three seconds before saying GG.
He still could not believe what happened and matched again.
GG!
GG!
It was still GG!
A golden exclamation mark appeared in front of his eyes. Barkley was puzzled. The manual did not tell him about this situation.
He opened it.
The golden exclamation mark unfolded into words.
“?”
Barkley was stunned.
Why did he feel like he was being looked down upon?
…
The continent of Aino is vast, with hundreds of kingdoms, large and small, scattered on it.
The kingdom that the city belonged to was considered to be of medium quality.
However, the capital city of the kingdom was not as strong as Gehrmann City. It had long been destroyed more than ten years ago… Some of the weaker small kingdoms had already been destroyed.
Xing Ling, Xing Yue, Xiao Li, Zaber, and Xie Yi, moved all the way to the center of the continent. There were almost no survivors.
The Aino Continent had been invaded by the dark tide for decades, and the environment was much worse than Earth.
Although the wilderness of Earth was dangerous and experienced survivors, they could still find wild fruits that could fill their stomachs in the forest. If they were lucky, they could hunt beasts, so they would not have to worry about their stomachs for a long time.
Therefore, there were still some lone rangers and Awakened teams who had been active in the wilderness for a long time, living a savage life.
However, they could at least live on.
In the Aino Continent, anywhere outside the city was deathly silent. Plants were extremely rare, and wild fruits that could satisfy hunger were hard to find. Other than being raised by humans, the wild beasts were almost extinct.
Even the great circle of the awakened realm could not survive in the wild of the Aino Continent for a long time. Only in various harsh environments, extraordinary ranks that still had the ability to survive in the wild could have the capital to roam in the wild.
On the Aino Continent, the kingdoms and cities were spa.r.s.ely distributed, causing the cities to almost be cut off from each other.
If not for the fact that the surviving humans had all gathered in the big city, and Zaber had provided a map of the Aino Continent before the end of the world, Star Spirit and the others wouldn’t have been able to find a city with survivors.
After several days of traveling, searching, a.n.a.lyzing, and finally setting the location of the second territory to a large city, the west of the city.
The west of the city was located in the middle of the Aino Continent, and it was also part of the most powerful central kingdom on the continent, the Aino Kingdom.
The name of the kingdom, the name of the continent, and the origin of which side had long been unknown, but on the continent, various kingdoms of various sizes floated up and down, and the Kingdom of Aino had not declined for a long time. According to what Zaber knew, the Kingdom of Inna had tens of thousands of years of history – known as the Kingdom of the Unsetting Sun.
Unfortunately, the current continent of Aino could no longer see the sun, the Kingdom of the Unsetting Sun… There was no sun, so it naturally declined.
Zaber and Xing Ling met in the west of the city.
“I came to this city before, but that was nearly a hundred years ago.” Zaber recalled the past and sighed.
Western Garrison City was a super city in the western border of the Kingdom of Zhen. It was vast, and because it was close to the border, it was built by the highest level of defense before the end of the world. The appearance of this city was not much different from the memory of nearly a hundred years ago.
It had the same iron-blooded aura.
However, Western Garrison City could not escape the problem of food. The civilians that entered his eyes either hurried or were emaciated.
The soldiers guarding the city were covered in dried blood, their eyes full of fatigue.
On the outer city wall, there were also some traces of repair after being damaged.
“Although the strength of the Western Garrison City is strong, it is not easy to pa.s.s…”
Zaber sighed.
“The mission Lord gave us is to find a place where we can establish our own territories. How can we get such a piece of land in the city?” Xing Ling said.
She thought for a moment and said, “There are many people in the city and the area is even larger. As long as we operate properly, it should not be difficult to buy a piece of land from the n.o.bles in the city. It should not be easy to attract the attention of the higher-ups in the city.”
Xie Yi curled his lips, “Just like before, blow up the City Lord Residence into the sky, and it’ll be over.”
“No, Western Garrison City is the main city that protects the Western Region of the Kingdom of Aino. There must be a lot of experts. Moreover, there are a lot of people in the city. Once they take forceful measures, it will be very troublesome to deal with them later.”
There were only tens of thousands of people in Gehrman City. In order to not cause a disturbance, the Lords and the higher ups of the munic.i.p.al department had to spend a few days to stabilize the situation in the city. With the scale of Western Garrison City, once there was a riot, it would be very difficult to deal with it.
Xing Ling thought for a while and rejected it.
Xie Yi felt bored and leaned against the wall lighting up his cigarette.
Xingyue and Xiao Li, who were accompanying her to act cute, could not bring up any constructive suggestions.
Finally, it was Zaber who thought about it. “The city lord of the Western Garrison City is different from ordinary n.o.bles. In the past, he was called the Iron Blood Duke. Now the situation in the Western Garrison City is not too good. I plan to talk to them. If we can reach an agreement to cooperate, we can get more materials, manpower, and intelligence support in this world.”
“I will go alone. Even if I fail, there is no danger with the Return Scroll in my hand. Once my plan fails, I will follow Miss Xingling’s plan.”
