Chapter 253 253. The Truth
Xia Feng had heard of Baidi City.
According to the official records of the eight legions' battles—
Thirty years ago, in the unprecedented battle that took place in the Bailu Sea, the entire Baidi City, which served as the central fortress to block the Evil Clan’s army, rebelled!
There were as many as 100,000 troops stationed inside and outside Baidi City. It was precisely because of this large number of elite troops surrendering to the enemy that the Bailu Battle, which had a chance of victory, ended in a disastrous defeat.
Baidi City fell, and the E'e army marched southward with unstoppable force, forcing the imperial legions to retreat to the border of the fifty districts.
In order to prevent the Egret Sea from falling into the hands of the Evil Clan and thus posing a greater threat by occupying the north of the empire, the empire had no choice but to use the [Heart of the Empire] to launch a devastating attack on the Egret Sea!
Eventually, the space-time turbulence in the Egret Sea area fell into an extremely violent state, where no life could survive. The Evil Clan army was therefore forced to abandon the large tracts of sea territory it had occupied and retreat back to the Evil Realm.
The Battle of the White Heron, which had caused panic among the people of the empire, came to an end.
This was also the largest, most casualty-inflicted, and fastest-ending battle in nearly a thousand years.
In the past, a medium-sized or larger battle would not end without fighting for dozens or even hundreds of years.
The Battle of White Egret lasted only two years from start to finish.
It is precisely because of this particularity that it was included in the textbooks more than 20 years ago.
Xia Feng had naturally also studied this aspect of imperial history. As the turning point of the entire battle, the Baidi Incident was notorious and everyone hated it.
As the lord of Baidi City at that time, Wei Zhong's name was directly nailed to the pillar of shame of the empire.
Every once in a while, netizens would pull him out to ask about his ancestors.
Unfortunately, the 100,000-strong rebellious army was directly annihilated by the [Heart of the Empire] at that time, and no one survived, so they could not be brought to the military court to receive the proper trial.
"So, what's the connection between Baidi City and the garden?" Xia Feng frowned and looked at the helmeted man, asking doubtfully, "Thirty years have passed between these two events, right?"
Hearing Xia Feng's sudden question again, the helmeted man was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, his pupils shrinking suddenly, "Can you read minds?!"
He quickly gathered his scattered thoughts.
The black-robed, K-faced man in front of him was very dangerous. Not only could he move freely in this environment, he also had the ability to read minds by force.
Any ability involving the spirit and mind is not simple.
Although the helmeted man was a true fifth-level warrior, he did not dare to act rashly in the face of such a strange K-faced man, not to mention that he was seriously injured.
Xia Feng smiled and was about to ask something else, but he seemed to realize something and looked up into the depths of the forest.
Through the bronze deconstruction eye, in the black and white vision that was deconstructed into randomly scattered lines, he saw a team of more than 20 people.
They were covered in black, tattered armor that was impenetrable, with long swords stained with blood hanging on their waists. They were rushing towards this side quickly.
Behind the armored team, there were hundreds of evil beasts of different shapes. Most of them had white fur, and their faces with multiple pupils were covered with more or less red scales.
The armored team's speed gradually slowed down visibly, and they were surrounded by a group of evil beasts.
Without communicating with each other, they quickly changed their formations. Their combat boots blew up the dust, and twenty people turned into streams of light and scattered. They drew their swords and stirred up blood shadows, which frightened the nightmare beast team into a panic.
But the number of nightmare beasts was still too large. The more powerful nightmare beasts behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and pounced on an armored warrior, biting his neck and causing blood vessels to splatter.
The armored warrior's helmet was also broken, revealing the face of an old man with white hair.
Several more soldiers fell, their armor bitten to pieces, and their old, hunched bodies were swallowed up by the terrifying evil force without even being attacked by the evil beast, causing irreversible decay.
Finally, with a desperate roar, he asked his colleagues to stab him and send him to his final death.
At the same time, Xia Feng and the other two were approaching rapidly. The man in the helmet took the lead and rushed into the crowd to block the attack of the evil beast for a warrior.
In the armored team, a tall figure covered in red armor turned around and noticed Xia Feng and the other two who suddenly appeared.
He was obviously stunned for a moment, and his hoarse voice sounded a little surprised, "You are human?"
The battle didn't allow for much distraction, and getting no answer, he charged into the fray once more.
Xia Feng thought about it and followed closely. Although he didn't know what force these armored warriors belonged to, he didn't care about that. He just wanted to help them kill the evil beast first.
Stepping forward, the K-faced man galloped across the battlefield, slashing the heads of evil beasts with one blow.
Judging from the spiritual pressure of these veterans, half of them are fourth-level spiritual masters, but unfortunately, their physical condition is too bad.
Although Xia Feng was only at the third level, he had the strength of a fourth level, and was not affected by the adverse environment. He even seemed to be assisted by God, and he fought his way in and out of the battlefield seven times.
Although Miss Mu kissed him every day during this month, which was ridiculous, her progress in improving her strength did not stagnate. Both her strength and spiritual pressure increased significantly.
Xia Feng stretched his muscles and felt more energetic.
The black robe holding the bloody knife fluttered in the wind. He finally looked at the pile of evil beast corpses piled up under his feet and the bloody battlefield overflowing everywhere, feeling quite heroic as if he was looking down on all the other mountains.
He wants to fight a hundred more!
The veterans in armor all looked up at the center of the battlefield. In less than half a minute, all the K-faced men on the pile of corpses were killed by the evil beasts.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion.
The old soldier wearing red armor walked forward slowly and clasped his fists to show his gratitude. These people seemed to be reluctant to talk.
There was silence for two seconds.
The red-armored veteran said in a deep voice, "Judging from your swordsmanship, it seems you are all from the military?"
The helmeted man, with dull brown eyes, nodded and clasped his fists. "The fourth pillar of the empire, under the command of Shadow Dragon Walker of the Yinlong Legion, the fifth-level festival envoy, Lin Musen."
Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong did not speak. Strictly speaking, they were indeed military personnel, but they were affiliated with the Holy Department.
Seeing that the two black-robed men wearing poker masks were silent, the red-armored veteran didn't pay any attention. He just took a deep breath and asked seriously with a trembling voice:
"You are from outside the island. Can you tell us about the current situation of the war? Have we driven the Evil Tribe out of the Egret Sea?"
"out?"
Lin Musen frowned and said doubtfully, "The Evil Clan was driven out of the Egret Sea long ago. Senior, what do you mean by this question?"
"Huh?" The red-armored veteran was stunned.
The veterans behind him also jumped up, their gray and dark eyes suddenly brightened, like a ray of light in the abyss. They trembled with excitement and said in unison, "You... you mean to say that the Empire won?"
"It's not a victory, we just pushed the evil tribe back."
"That's fine, that's fine!" They breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, taking off their masks to reveal their old faces.
Although he was as thin as a shrunken branch, his face was bright and he laughed heartily. "By the way, little kid, when did the battle end? A month ago? Or two months ago?"
“.”
Seeing this, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong looked at each other, and a bad guess came to their minds.
The helmeted man's eyes were slightly suspicious, and he frowned as he looked around. Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on him, he paused and said four words in a deep voice:
"Thirty years ago."
