“Oh?”
The man in black continued, “We received news that the girl had a brother. A few years ago, they came to Saint Laurent City and were received by the president of the Mage Association. The girl was then arranged to attend Saint Laurent City Academy. However, according to the information, the girl’s appearance in the past was very different from her current appearance. It was only when the orcs broke through Saint Laurent City that the girl changed. At the same time, she awakened some strange power.”
After hearing this, the City Lord fell into deep thought.
He felt that Su Han’s sister was very familiar. A few months ago, when the group of people who followed that woman to search for the Divine Treasure returned, they seemed to have mentioned this name.
It was related to the emperor.
The City Lord frowned. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “You’re saying that she has another brother?”
The man in black said, “Yes, her brother’s name is Su Han. He’s a tier-1 mage. However, I feel that it’s not that simple. For someone to be able to get an audience with the President, he must be hiding his identity.”
“Su Han!” In an instant, the City Lord seemed to have caught onto something.
He immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, “Take me to the dungeon. I want to meet those accomplices.”
…
The dungeon.
In the dark dungeon, the humidity was very heavy. Almost every cell here was holding a prisoner.
They were all the people who were implicated after the incident broke out.
Shrill screams came from one of the cells.
The jailers were interrogating some prisoners.
The City Lord sat in the warden’s lounge drinking tea expressionlessly. He was not in a hurry at all.
After a long time, the screams gradually subsided.
The warden walked in and cupped his fists at the City Lord. He said respectfully, “City Lord, they confessed.”
The City Lord narrowed his eyes and stood up. He felt that he was very close to the truth.
…
When the City Lord left the dungeon, he could not hide the excitement on his face.
“As expected! It’s just as I guessed!”
He got all the information about what happened when they were searching for the Divine Treasure from those people.
Although they did not get the Emperor, they could basically confirm the Emperor’s identity.
The Emperor had always been protected by the previous Royal Great Mage. After the Divine Treasure incident broke out, a pair of siblings left the village. No one knew where they went.
And one of the siblings was the child of the First Prince and the Oracle.
The Royal Great Mage was a world-famous Great Mage, but few people knew that the famous tier-7 Great Mage, the City Lord of Saint Laurent City, was his disciple.
The expression on the City Lord’s face became more and more excited.
“No wonder! No wonder the City Lord of Saint Laurent City accepted these two children! So that’s how it is!”
All the chains were connected. Su Han and Su Han’s sister, one of them must be the Emperor!
If he got them and handed them over to the Emperor, then his future would be bright, and he wouldn’t have to live in such a remote city!
The smile on the City Lord’s face gradually deepened.
“Emperor! You must be mine!”
…
Several thousand kilometers away from Thunder City.
Two meteor-like figures flashed across the sky.
One was a youth dressed in a black robe, and the other was a beautiful woman dressed in white woolen clothes.
It was precisely Su Han and the Northern Land Spirit.
“Su Han! The orcs have committed countless crimes against this land. There’s slaughter and plunder everywhere.” The Northern Land Spirit took a deep breath, her heart heavy.
Su Han, on the other hand, was expressionless.
They flew all the way here. Everywhere they passed, be it villages or towns, they were reduced to ruins and a sea of fire.
They could even see many orcs who had left the group burning, killing, and plundering the human villages and towns, committing all kinds of evil.
The entire western region of the human race had become a living hell.
“Su Han, what are you thinking about?” the Northern Land Spirit asked.
Su Han slowly said, “Although I bear the will of all races and am their king, I must make them understand that I am first the Second Human King, and then their King!”
His eyes narrowed.
“I cannot treat everyone equally.”
Above the clouds, facing the huge airflow, the Northern Land Spirit said loudly, “Thunder City is still a long distance away. According to the map, more than 100 kilometers ahead of us is a medium-sized city of the human race, Wind City!”
Su Han nodded and said, “Let’s go and take a look!”
The two of them accelerated. After more than ten minutes, the two of them suddenly broke through the clouds.
Immediately, the scene below completely appeared in his eyes.
The entire city was burning. The Orc Army had already broken through the city walls and were fighting the Human Army inside and outside the city walls.
It was obvious that this battle had been in a stalemate for a long time. However, without reinforcements, Wind City would not be able to hold on for too long. The difference between their combat strength and the fierce Orc Army was huge.
Wind City.
In the City Lord’s Hall.
One by one, fully armed knights were holding large swords as they defended the City Lord’s mansion.
“Lord Del, Wind City has been broken through by the Orc Army! Our soldiers won’t be able to hold on for much longer. Quickly retreat with our people. If we do our best to cover, we still have a chance to break out of the encirclement!” a Grand Knight said anxiously.
The Lord Del of Wind City looked at him solemnly. The shouts from afar grew louder and closer. It was obvious that the orcs had already attacked.
“Lord! Now is not the time to delay!” The surrounding knights became even more anxious.
Del suddenly raised his battle flag and kicked the knight to the ground. He pulled out the greatsword on his back and said solemnly, “Dozens of years ago, I, Del, followed His Highness the First Prince and fought bloody battles at the border. Time and time again, I defeated the Orc Army and sent them back to their hometown. Now, you are talking to me about some bullsh*t retreat!?”
He strode out, and the power in his body rumbled and spread out.
“Don’t think that just because I’m old, I can’t raise my sword anymore. Today, I’m going to tell you that I, Del, can still kill!”
He led his personal guards out of the City Lord’s mansion and charged towards the Orc Army that charged in.
For a moment, the sounds of battle shook the sky.
After the City Lord’s elite troops entered the battlefield, the situation instantly improved.
A large number of orcs were restrained in front of the shattered city wall, unable to take another step forward.
But at this moment, outside the city wall, an orc that was at least three meters tall pushed open the orc crowd and walked in with a rumble.
Del’s expression changed drastically.
The aura that the three-meter-tall orc emitted had actually reached tier-6. If he was young, he might have been able to fight him, but now, he was already unable to do so!
“You are the City Lord of this city?” The orc revealed a savage smile.
