Lateran Empire, Eastern Frontier.
Since the Empire issued the lockdown order, the borders have been completely closed.
Those caravans from Central Asia were either trapped in the city or blocked outside the border.
Those who approach without permission will be shot without mercy, and they will be killed or alive.
As a result, the entire eastern border was completely closed.
Under the defense of the light prismatic tower laid by the Holy See, not even a fly, let alone a human being, could even think of sneaking in.
No one dares to cross the border, unless they are dissatisfied with their longevity and seek death.
It has been peaceful and quiet since the border was closed.
It was not until nearly half a month that the situation changed.
There are forces from the east that continue to send troops to harass the border, which is getting worse and worse.
On this day, the scale was even greater, rarely seen in the world.
Three troops and horses marched in three directions along the border and launched a violent attack.
These soldiers and horses can't see half a person, they are all composed of zombie mutants, as well as all kinds of strange and alien creatures.
The number is so large that there are nearly ten million.
On the middle road, two hundred kilometers away from Ankara, in the vast desert sea wasteland, millions of alien creatures gather.
These creatures look half corpse, half beast, strange in appearance, and extremely ferocious and ferocious.
Some are running across the earth, and some are flying in the sky, rushing away like a black torrent.
The strange roar was earth-shattering and its power was indescribable.
However, just as this alien army approached two hundred kilometers inside Ankara's territory, a harsh whistle sounded in the air.
Golden beams of light, like raindrops, are dense and seamless, coming together.
Bang bang bang A low muffled sound came out.
The earth trembled and golden light shone.
The indescribable burning power spread out.
At the slightest touch, those half-corpse, half-beast aliens, without any ability to resist, all turned into ashes and died.
Even a ninth-level being could not withstand the golden beam attack and died tragically on the spot.
In just five or six minutes, more than half of the entire alien army had been wiped out.
And they seemed to be fearless and rushed forward without fear of death.
The attack power of the Light Prism Tower is so powerful that it cannot be resisted by flesh and blood.
Sixty or seventy kilometers away from Ankara territory, the entire alien army had been wiped out.
Looking around, the ground is full of charred remains and ashes, and the surrounding area is filled with a stinking smell that is nauseating.
All the alien creatures were wiped out, and no one alive could be seen.
Even so, the attack from the Light Prism Tower has not stopped. tsk tsk A shrill whistle sounded.
Hundreds of golden beams came through the air, locked onto a certain sandy area, and attacked.
The golden beam contains blazing burning power, melting the gravel directly and penetrating into the ground.
The roaring sound continued.
Within a few breaths, a huge black light emerged from the ground.
The dim light flickered, actually blocking the continuous attack of golden beams.
Inside, a woman's anxious shout came out.
"It's too powerful and I can't stop it."
"Replace me"
With a hiss, the dim light dissipated.
Immediately, nine figures appeared, including men and women.
If Li Ba were here, he would find that these nine people were all his elite men.
There were the five most humble guests, Yang Jian and Huang Kun, Feng Xiao, Yang Ranying and his wife, and two senior military officials, Shi Shi and Hua Wenhao.
These nine people all exuded the unique aura of the powerful men in the holy realm.

At this moment, Yang Jian stood in the middle, and the other eight people stood around.
Above Yang Jian's head, there is a jade-carved Nine Palace Formation Disk, glowing with a hazy aura.
The light enveloped them, and the auras of the nine people merged, as if they were one body.
At this moment, no movement was seen from Yang Jian.
With the blessing of his mind, an invisible barrier was formed in an instant.
Bang bang bang The golden beams of light came like raindrops and hit the mental barrier blessed by Yang Jian, making a dense muffled sound.
"I can't hold on for long, brother," Yang Jian shouted.
With the blessing of the Nine Palaces Formation Disk, nine people formed the Nine Palaces Battle Formation and gathered everyone's strength.
He found that the telepathy barrier he had created was still difficult to block the intensive attack of the Light Prism Tower.
"Back off," Shitou said in a deep voice.
In the current situation, no matter how hard they tried, they could not sneak into the enemy's territory.
If they continued, they would be in great danger.
It is better to withdraw first and then think of other ways.
None of the partners had any objections.
Immediately, under Yang Jian's greeting, he and Feng Xiaoyang quickly changed their positions.
Feng Xiaoyang came to the center and presided over the battle formation.
"Walk" After he shouted loudly, the wind suddenly rose and dust filled the sky.
The nine figures disappeared, and a cyan hurricane appeared out of thin air and roared away.
Of course Leba, who was in the capital of Rome, would not know that because of his disappearance, his men gathered their strength to find a way to sneak into the Lateran Empire.
For this, a huge price was paid, but nothing was achieved.
Colosseum.
In the control center, Li Ba was wearing a black tuxedo and a purple headscarf, accompanying Heverl.
Looking at the big screen, a bloody competition is taking place in the arena.
There were constant cheers and screams, and the scene was lively and noisy.
Once upon a time, he was also a member of the gladiators on the field, fighting with all his strength against the monsters.
Now, her identity has changed.
Miss Heverl, the second heir of the Ross family, is a personal attendant, given her surname, and enjoys special honors.
The gladiatorial competition continues.
The battle was extremely bloody.
The twenty prisoners who also came from Balague Prison did not have the good luck of Li Ba leading the prisoners.
They failed to survive three games and were already dead or injured.
The prisoners who were struggling to their death let out heart-piercing screams under the attack of the monster's ferocious minions.
The nobles in the surrounding stands not only showed no sympathy at all, but on the contrary, they were all shouting excitedly as if they had been given blood. bunch of lunatics Li Ba curled his lips.
He felt extremely disgusted from the bottom of his heart towards these nobles who treated their own kind as human beings.
"House, you hate gladiatorial matches, don't you?"
Heverl happened to catch the micro-expression on his face, looked over with a pair of sapphire-clear eyes, and asked with a half-smile.
"Oh, no."
Li Ba bowed and denied it against his will.
"House, an excellent follower needs to open his heart to his master without any reservations."
Heverl stared at him and said slowly: "I want to hear the truth."
Li Ba was stunned, thought for a moment, and said calmly: "Yes, I don't like gladiatorial matches very much."
"Why is it because you have experienced it yourself?"
Heverl asked.
Li Ba smiled, pointed at the big screen, and said to the nobles who were shouting hoarsely, "Miss, have you noticed that they look very ugly now?"
Haiweier looked at it, was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I don't like gladiatorial matches either, but there are some things that I can't control.

To use your Chinese language, it's the general trend and it's the last resort."
Li Ba was surprised when he heard this.
Havel smiled and actually introduced him to the origin of the Colosseum.
This arena was originally an official property of the empire and was welcomed by the majority of nobles in the capital in the early days of its opening.
Especially the human-animal fighting event was packed with seats.
Under normal circumstances, ten sessions are held every day.
As a result, there are countless survivors.
Later, the Ross family purchased the arena from the Crown.
The original plan was to reform operations and eliminate human-animal competitions.
However, many nobles in the capital jointly protested.
In the end, the Holy See was even alerted to intervene.
Although the Ross family had a strong foundation, they could not resist the dual pressure from the Holy See and the aristocratic circles, and had to compromise.
The human-animal competition continues.
However, the number of events is reduced to a minimum and is only held once every half month.
For this reason, the Holy See and the capital's nobles were very dissatisfied.
But the Ross family also gave reasons.
They hope to improve the quality of the event.
All gladiators must be carefully selected, so that they can bring the most exciting performances.
After all, Gloucester is the property of the Ross family.
They have the right to decide all matters in the arena.
As long as the game is not suspended, not even the Holy See can find any reason to interfere.
"House, when Colosse was in official hands, two to three hundred prisoners and slaves were killed or injured every day.
Now, the death toll has been greatly reduced."
When Heverl said this, she looked at Li Ba and said softly: "This is the only thing our Ross family can do."
Li Ba remained silent.
He could understand what Helwell said.
The interests of the Holy See and the vast number of nobles should not be violated, and neither could the Ross family.
Only by following the trend could they protect themselves.
On the contrary, no matter how strong the Ross family is, they cannot escape the fate of destruction.
"Let's go, it's been a busy day today, let's go home."
On the big screen, the last prisoner gladiator died at the claws of a monster.
Haiwei'er stretched out her waist and told Li Ba to leave.
She didn't seem to want to stay in Coroceto either.
Walk out the door.
Hedwig's special car was parked on one side.
Jenner and his guards stood respectfully on both sides.
Helping the mistress to board the carriage, Li Ba waved his whip and prepared to drive the unicorn away.
The carriage door opened a small crack, and Hedwell's lazy words came from inside.
"House, let Jenner drive.
You come in and give me a massage.
I don't know what's wrong with me these past two days.
My back is so sore."
Li Ba was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
"yes."
He threw the riding crop directly to Jenner, the captain of the guard who was guarding him.

After that, get into the car.
Including Jenner, all the Guards warriors cast envious glances at her back.
Personal valet, the closest servant of a noble.
In the Lateran Empire, young nobles were very open about sexual relations.
Male aristocrats will recruit young and beautiful female retainers, and conversely, female aristocrats will also recruit male retainers who are pleasing to their eye.
Before getting married, you can be with your followers and enjoy the love between men and women.
This is an open secret in aristocratic circles.
Also permitted by Imperial law.
This is how Fu Xiaodong became the closest substitute of Hades, the eldest daughter of the Ross family.
At the same time, Li Ba also learned from him about the sacred duty of being a follower.
Li Ba had no resistance to this.
On the contrary, his mistress Hedwig was eighteen years old and still in bloom.
No matter which angle you look at, she is a top beauty.
Li Ba, who was very open-minded about this aspect, didn't mind having a friendly match with his mistress.
Of course, the premise is that his mistress Heverl agrees and takes the initiative or hint first before he has a chance.
Otherwise, it is offensive and disrespectful.
Now, this opportunity has come, and Li Ba also wants to get to know the other party deeply and strengthen the relationship to facilitate future actions
