“Brother, you don’t have to tell me.” Su Yu shook her head and revealed a slightly sad smile. “As long as you can come back, it’s enough for me!”
Su Han could clearly feel that his sister had changed a lot in the past few months.
There was less innocence in her eyes and more maturity.
There were often people who said that many things could change a person overnight.
Perhaps after experiencing the great changes in Saint Laurent City and the two blows from his departure, she had no choice but to face the many dangers by herself.
It was just that he did not know the relationship between them…
His sister reached out and smiled. “Can you hug me?”
Su Han was stunned. He reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace.
He immediately felt the moisture on her lips on his neck. Then, he felt a wave of pain. His sister fiercely bit his neck.
It was as if she wanted to go deep into his flesh and blood.
Su Han patted her back and said softly, “I’m sorry.”
It was as if there was some boiling hot liquid flowing along his neck and into his shoulders and chest bit by bit.
Sobbing sounds came from beside him.
“Am I still your sister?”
“Yes.”
“Do you still recognize me as your sister?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Why don’t you die? Or come back after a few thousand years!”
“Then I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find you…”
Her sister looked up and smiled when she wiped away her tears. Her eyes were still full of tears.
“Brother, you’ve grown taller!”
“You’ve become prettier.” Su Han smiled.
…
After Su Han killed the main forces of the orcs outside Thunder City, the remaining orcs were like stray dogs, unable to form any combat strength.
The Northern Alliance Army also set up camp in Thunder City.
The reason why the orcs did not continue east was because Thunder City blocked the only way east.
Thunder City was the pass from the western region to the east. If they occupied this place, it would be equivalent to stopping the throat of the eastern and western regions.
Ever since the Orc Army was killed, the Northern Alliance Army had not made any move for two days. The outside world was still anxiously watching.
…
The Human Empire, the Imperial Capital.
Ever since thousands of years ago, the Imperial Capital had been the center of the Human Empire. The spirit lineage was the royal family of the human race for thousands of years. They controlled the entire Human Empire and had supreme status and power.
However, ever since the incident that happened more than ten years ago, the Human Empire had inevitably begun to decline.
Imperial Capital, Imperial Palace.
The Supreme Human Emperor sat on the throne. He had white hair and a pair of blurry eyes. He was already very old.
All the nobles stood below the stage.
Beside the Emperor stood a short man. There was a scar on his face that extended from his left eye to his neck.
“Your Majesty! A total of 41 city-states in the western region have submitted to the Northern Alliance Army. The Northern Alliance Army is currently stationed in Thunder City, cutting off our connection to the western region. The ambitions of the Northern Alliance Army are clear as day. If we don’t take any measures, once they advance east, they will point their swords at the Imperial Capital!”
Below the stage, an old minister spoke solemnly.
The expressions of all the nobles present turned ugly. They were filled with worry.
When they received the news from Thunder City yesterday, the Imperial Court was in an uproar. Who would have thought that the hundreds of thousands of orcs who were eyeing them like tigers were actually killed by one person?
Such methods and ferocity had never been possessed by anyone since the establishment of the Human Empire.
On the stage, the Human Emperor glanced at the crowd below the stage impatiently.
“Regent, didn’t I say that you would take care of everything? Why bother with me?”
Below the stage, everyone’s expression changed.
The Human Empire was already at a critical juncture of survival, but their Emperor was still like this.
Everyone’s faces were more or less filled with astonishment and anger.
They turned their gazes to the short man standing beside the Emperor.
The older generation of court officials were no strangers to this man. More than ten years ago, when the previous Emperor passed away and the current Emperor seized power, he was by the Emperor’s side.
This man was very mysterious. Over the past ten years, many forces had investigated his identity, but in the end, they all failed.
He usually did not appear in the court. He would only appear when there was a major incident in the Human Empire.
A few months ago, he was the one who took action and uprooted the forces of Vivi and the others. Even the tier-7 Great Mage, the Saint Laurent City Lord, was defeated by him.
The people did not know his real name. They only knew that His Majesty the Emperor called him…
Number 4.
The short man walked up to the stage and looked down at the officials below.
“I know what the leader of the Northern Alliance Army wants. However, I will destroy everything before he gets what he wants.”
He narrowed his eyes and said, “From today onwards, inform all the cities in the eastern region to impose a curfew. No one is allowed to leave the city. All the soldiers stationed at the border will return to the city and await further orders!”
The moment he gave the order, the nobles below the stage were already in an uproar.
“Regent! What do you mean!? If the Northern Alliance Army advances east, how are we going to stop them? Moreover, the elves at the southern border and other races in the east are also eyeing us humans. You are trying to kill us humans!”
A Duke pointed at the regent on the stage, his fingers trembling in anger.
The regent on the stage narrowed his eyes.
With a puff, a small hole appeared on the Duke’s throat.
In an instant, the Duke’s face revealed a pained expression. He fell to the ground and soon lost his breath.
Seeing this scene, all the nobles and officials present were silent, their faces pale.
Killing people in the Imperial Court was already lawless.
“Does anyone still want to question my orders?” the regent asked in a deep voice.
Below the stage, there were no more sounds.
…
Thunder City.
In the prison cell, a white-haired man was tied to the wall by thick chains. His entire body was covered in cracks, and blood flowed out.
However, Su Han knew that he wasn’t dead. A tier-7 person wouldn’t die so easily.
“Wake him up,” Su Han said calmly.
A human warrior from the Northern Lands immediately picked up a bucket of salt water and threw it at his body.
With a shrill scream, the white-haired man opened his eyes. His eyes were ferocious.
He was Number 5’s clone!
“Su Han!” he roared.
Su Han looked at him calmly, “Interesting. Although you are not the main body, you are not simply a clone that shares a soul. The relationship between you and the main body is more like the relationship between a bug and its mother. Although you are independent, you are under his control. Am I right?”
Number 5’s clone trembled, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
How did he know!?
