All things in the world keep changing in the long river of time. From the rising of the sun and the rising of the moon, the sea is full of vicissitudes. The plains are dried up into deserts in the drought, and lava solidifies into islands in the sea. Even the seemingly eternal towering peaks will eventually collapse in a violent shock, and the world itself will eventually be destroyed.

But some things will never change.

In the face of the tide of despair, Colin let out a scream of fear. His 50 year old deputy was lying on the ground and did not dare to look directly at the man in the air. He turned his head to look at his loyal object, the second son of the Seward family, but he could not make any sound as if he had been strangled.

"Ah --"

The invisible twisted air flow enveloped Kleiman in an instant. Before the middle-aged noble with a bright future could say a word, his whole body burned in the fierce fire. He was not in pain, because the heat ignited his skin and flesh in an instant, vaporized his bones and viscera, and cleman turned into fly ash and smoke in an instant.

In mid air, there's a voice.

"You're not innocent, either."

It was a sound as hard as steel. Colin felt like a sea of fire when he heard it. The unimaginable heat tearing his soul, he closed his eyes tightly, never dare to open, cleman in the blink of an eye turned into smoke scene is still playing back in his brain, let the man feel extremely fear and despair.

But Joshua, who had already come to the top of the manor and heard all the communication from each other, coldly looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling and shaking in the only half of the manor, and said in a calm voice, "but I don't kill him indiscriminately. Six of my subordinates died, and I only killed six. Tell me who the other masterminds are and where they are hiding. Spare your life. "

Although most of the nobles had their own residences in the capital, not everyone would live in the holy city of three mountains. The power of the emperor enveloped the whole city, making all the intrigues impossible to escape. Both the fertaos and the suward's families had manors and holiday villas for daily work in the cities and suburbs near the capital.

Although ademan Carlos is a power hungry and stupid young man, he has worked with Alfonso for so long, but he also knows some news, such as the location of the suward family's suburban manor.

"Count... Count, we are not the mastermind..."

In the crackling sound of the burning of the manor and the bursting of the firewood, Colin struggled to open his mouth, forced down his fear, and said with a trembling voice: "the feltaos, the feltaos are the masterminds! Although we have reached an agreement on cooperation, they are all the ones who have made the move! "

If a man doesn't know his opponent's identity, then he can't become the deputy of the suward family's imperial capital spokesman from a civilian. The soldier who killed cleman without hesitation must be Joshua van Radcliffe, the famous northern Lord, the Dragon enemy, who can rival the soldiers of the army with his own strength.

His appearance can be said to have shocked Colin so much that he can't think. Neither he nor Kleiman could have imagined that the current owner of Radcliffe family would actually do it for those spokesmen. If he paid ten minutes later, Colin would feel that this kind of thing is as absurd as a dream, but it has happened, so men can only accept the reality.

"A few days ago..." Colin didn't dare look at the soldiers because he was afraid of the scorching light. He knelt down and put his face on the floor. A vague voice came from his hands: "the fertaos returned to the imperial capital... In their mansion!"

"Good."

He nodded slightly, but Joshua didn't talk nonsense. He cut the other side of the mansion down with a sword. When the bricks and stones fell, Colin was in the same place because of fear, but his seemingly rough and meticulous power destroyed the whole manor, and didn't let any falling objects touch his body.

The red flame flickered and the wind roared. The soldiers had disappeared. Only his deputy, who was still afraid to move, knelt between the ruins. After a long time, he got up with a shudder. After confirming that he was safe, the man wept with joy.

Along the way, the messenger Knight named NACK hid among the trees. His horse had been let go long ago, but he was shivering. NACK saw with his own eyes that the suward manor not far away had turned into ruins in the flames, and he was scared to hide because of the spread of the powerful.

Soon after, a red streamer across the sky, nach felt a cold look swept his body, his hiding as meaningless as an ostrich, but the streamer didn't mean to stay, it went straight across and flew towards the imperial capital.

——Picked up a life. The knight was stunned for a few seconds, until the streamer disappeared in the distance, and then slowly responded. He knew that his survival was not because of his strength, but because the other side didn't want to kill him, just like human beings didn't deliberately step on the ants on the roadside.And the imperial capital.

The fertao house.

Located in the northern part of the imperial capital, the fertaos mansion is not so much a manor or villa loved by the nobles as a small solid fortress. It is dark. The whole building is made of diorite in the wilderness of Ballard in the northwest of the Empire. This solid, magic resistant rock is generally used by dwarves to build temples, But the feltaos used it to build their own homes.

Different from the surrounding houses full of artistic beauty, the temperament of the mansion is so different and out of place. The walls more than 12 feet high are built with complete huge rocks, and then the cracks are filled with molten iron. There are even four small watchtowers in the four corners of the mansion. Under the flying flags, vigilant guards are watching everything around.

The family of fertaos, which started with military achievements and weapons, will never forget their roots. These aristocrats with dwarf blood are on guard all the time, waiting for the arrival of possible battles. Every member of the fertaos will be sent to the battlefield before they grow up. Only those who have experienced a battle and have not died can grow up, And officially became a member of the family.

Tam fertao stood at the top of his mansion, or fortress, with a pipe in one hand, thinking about something.

He looked at the street next to his residence. The flow of people in the northern part of the imperial capital was much less than that in other areas. It was early in the morning, and there was almost no one on the street. Tam was absent-minded and tried to light his pipe, but he couldn't make a Firestar for some reason. However, he didn't care. He shook his pipe instead of wasting his energy.

"Young and vigorous."

He sighed leisurely. This short, mature half dwarf, who is only about 1.6 meters old, touched his beard. His eyes gathered at this time. He thought of his brothers who were still in the basement and shook his head: "these little guys, they don't know anything."

The fertao family has many children, but there are not many formal members who conform to the family rules. Tam is the sixth son of the family, but the third person next to the eldest son and the fourth son of the family. He is responsible for the family's industry in the central part of the Empire, and also acts as the spokesman of the imperial capital.

Tam sighs because his worried brothers downstairs have never been at ease since the family sent his two newly grown brothers to the imperial capital on the pretext of "observation and learning" a few months ago. Young and reckless semi dwarfs know how to fight in the battlefield, but they know nothing about business, They went around telling Tam what to do, but they couldn't come up with any workable plans.

Especially this time. Then he tried to light his pipe. This time, he succeeded. Tam took a smoke. The light in the pipe was bright and dark, and a faint white air floated out.

When young people came to the imperial capital, they were extremely indignant at the declining trading volume of the family. They didn't understand the market demand at all. They questioned Tam all day long and questioned his incompetence. However, in any case, the financial resources of the feltaos are getting more and more tight, and they don't change because of people's indignation. Tam doesn't care to pay attention to and teach his brothers, who may have a defective IQ. Instead, he lets them make trouble.

They came up with the plan to attack Radcliffe's estate and assassinate the principal. Probably because they are too young, they are not afraid of revenge from Radcliffe family at all, and they also doubt the strength of Joshua. I'm afraid there is something wrong with him. The proud young people will not admit that there will be many strong people in the world who are not much bigger than them, so they start decisively.

For this behavior, Tam said he would let them go, and he didn't care at all. If this kind of behavior can make his two brothers settle down, the half dwarf thinks it may not be a bad thing, but unexpectedly, I don't know why, after the death of Alfonso Carlos, the spokesman of Radcliffe's family, his family didn't respond, and Joshua didn't make any statement, as if nothing had happened.

Tam smelled something wrong. He motioned to his brother to stop. However, the young people ridiculed his caution as cowardice and incompetence. Facing the seemingly weak Joshua, they almost let go of their hands to toss. In a few days, most of the Carlos family were killed and injured, The Radcliffe family's industry in the central part of the Empire basically lost the direct contact with their masters and fell into a semi paralyzed state. The feltaos quickly seized back a lot of weapon markets, and the cooperative suward family also got a lot of ore orders.

Everything seems perfect, except for the strange attitude of the radcliffs. Thinking of the two brothers who looked down upon him more and more, Tam took a hard puff and spit it out. Of course, he knows that it is most convenient to attack the top management if he wants to destroy the competitor's industry, but this kind of thing is impossible for a long time. Even if he gains profits temporarily, he will suffer great losses in the future under the Revenge of other families.How can this truth be explained clearly to the young half dwarf? Anyway, Tam doesn't plan to do this. He only cares about himself. As for educating his brother, that's what his father should do.

Looking around his fortress like mansion, Tam nodded.

The prototype of the feltaos' house is their fortress in the northwest territory. Most of the feltaos' members live in this fortress and grow up to have children. Although the fortress named black flag was not the strongest fortress of the Empire, it was undoubtedly the strongest city in Northwest China. In history, the orcs sent troops to sweep the northwest of the Empire several times in their heyday. Only the fertaos relied on the black flag fortress to keep the territory.

The instinct from the blood of dwarves made Tam like this huge rock fortress, which made him feel extremely safe. In fact, apart from the Morley palace, where the emperor lived, the imperial Royal mage academy, where countless mages gathered, is almost non-existent, which is more solid than the fortress of ferta'o.

Except for the relatively humid and cold environment, these are nothing compared with safety.

But suddenly, he felt a thrill.

In the distant sky, a red streamer suddenly appeared. The streamer was so fast that it was like a meteor across the sky. Tam stood at the top of his residence and saw the meteor from the gap between the three mountains. But he didn't feel any beauty, but felt the incomparable danger.

He put out his pipe and was about to observe, but the result shocked Tam. Just a few breaths, the red light had crossed a long distance to the surrounding three mountains.

The huge fluctuation of power triggered the defensive array around the imperial capital in an instant. There was only a slight hum, with a radius of nearly 100 kilometers. The huge array covering all the areas around the three mountains floated in the sky. The huge magic began to mobilize, trying to suppress the unstable red meteor.

But it's useless. The meteor is like a spear that can't be broken. All the barriers and obstacles are broken through like things that don't exist. The twenty-four and a half solid air barriers are easily torn, producing the sound of glass breaking. But before the sound is transmitted, the red streamer has reached the top of the imperial city wall.

The defense above the wall of the imperial capital is more stable than that around the mountain. Golden chains rise from the white wall and turn into cocoons of light in an attempt to cover the red streamer. However, when a flame blooms, the dense chains turn into energy fragments and are smashed.

At this time, Tam had just loudly warned the guards on the tower that he was going back to the mansion to prepare for the defense of the two young and bold underground men. But at this time, the red streamer had come to the top of the mansion which was comparable to the fortress in terms of defense besides scale.

There were no sonic booms or hurricanes. The air was pushed aside by an inexplicable force, and then forced to stabilize. The red streamer was so powerful, but in fact it was silent, that many residents of the uncreated imperial capital did not notice the arrival of the red streamer.

Tam turned his head in surprise. He looked at the red streamer, and then let out a scream - the bright light almost blinded his eyes in an instant, but even so, it made the golden primary rock warrior temporarily blind.

However, before that, Tam had seen the identity of the other party, which made his heart tremble.

Joshua!

The contemporary master of Radcliffe family!

He actually came to the imperial capital. He broke through many defensive arrays with this kind of insolence, which was just like invasion and invasion, and came to the imperial capital!

What on earth does he want to do?!

Before Tam could understand, the soldier had already raised his sword. His movements have always been faster than the enemy's thinking, and this time is no exception——

When the sword is waved away, the power of Jiao Gaozhi's breath is activated, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees is concentrated into the invisible shock wave. The obvious and incomparable path of the huge sword extends towards the black solid fortress from top to bottom.

The waves spread and the impact came. In an instant, the main body of the fortress was "roaring" and suddenly sunken. The place where the shock wave hit the front suddenly disintegrated into powder. The gold lava neatly divided the black mansion into two parts.

The sword was so precise and swift that when the last wave of sword wind swept by, the whole center of the fertaos mansion was completely cut open. Through the huge gap, you could even see the interior of the mansion. It was so shocking that the maid sitting on the ground and the guards of the tower all around were also unstable because of the tilt of the mansion that they almost fell out of the tower.

But none of the innocents died. Even the neighbors around the fortress were not disturbed by the power controlled to the extreme. In less than two seconds, the two young family members in the basement of the feltaos were completely burned into nothingness by the hot sword wind like the sun, and even the smoke and dust were not left.Tam is not dead.

Among the ruins, the lower part of the body has been burned out by the fire, and the half dwarf who turned into fly ash is buried in the sand of the diorite. He stares at the soldier who takes back the sword in mid air, his eyes full of wonder and anger.

"The feltaos will take revenge!" The half dwarf's temper is harder than the stone. Even though his fear muscles are shaking unnaturally, he can still spit out threatening words. Tam, who was buried in the ruins, spat out a mouthful of blood caused by the anti earthquake. He resisted the strong sense of lethargy and looked into the air with half blind eyes. He issued a vicious curse: "you unruly guy, all the nobles in the northwest will - poof!"

Speaking of the general, he would spit out a mouthful of blood, and then a pupil scattered, died.

In this regard, Joshua did not say anything, make any response, he just turned his head and looked to the south, the direction of the moreley palace.

And in the next moment, the space is broken.

The angry legendary strongman came to the soldier.

"Joshua!"

Israel Diamond was dressed in a nightgown and had an unknown lip print on his neck. Because of some unspeakable reasons, he came so late a second, and the result was the death of all the members of the feltaos in the imperial capital: "what are you doing?"

"Long time no see, your majesty."

Standing in the middle of the sky, behind him is the gradually collapsing black mansion. Joshua calmly greets the legendary strong man with an angry face in front of him. The servants of the fertaos reverberate over the northern part of the imperial capital from the screams of panic and fear, but this is not equal to the words whispered by the soldiers: "as you can see, it's just revenge."

Some things will never change.

It's like this.

It's not that Joshua can't understand the tortuous struggle rules of nobles. He clearly understands that this is the cultural precipitation of hundreds of years. In fact, Alfonso himself is ready to die, and his son and Deputy easily accept this fact.

But he won't. He never thought that much. He's Joshua. He wants revenge. No one can stop him.

"... hum."

Israel glanced at the fertaos' residence and put out all the hot aftershocks and lava with a cold hum. He noticed that there was no fourth casualty except the death of three semi dwarfs, and his mood gradually calmed down. He turned to look at Joshua and said in a cold voice, "although merciless and unfair, But this is the tacit rule of all the strong in the whole continent. If everyone is like you, how can order be maintained? The extraordinary attack each other's homes at will? Do you also want the main city of Moldavia to be attacked by others? "

And Joshua's answer was more straightforward: "just let them come."

The soldier didn't hesitate: "business matters, if they want to negotiate, I will gladly accept. If they want to coerce me, then even if they come to fight, I will not die. But if I take action against my subordinates, I will take revenge directly. "

"You just think you're better than them, so there's no scruple. That's your rule."

Israel laughed angrily, and his majesty didn't want to talk nonsense. He showed a smile that made Joshua feel familiar: "well, don't you always want to challenge me?"

"Then come on!"

Then, the latter showed the same look.

"Good."

The next moment.

Both disappeared in the imperial capital.

In the early hours of the morning, the clouds were shining brightly
