Chapter 475 Jing Family
In the pub, the old bartender's eyes narrowed.

Regarding "Mo Ke", it was obviously a name that someone casually declared when he just walked in. Theoretically, there is no corresponding major general.

Jiang He looked calm as he sat down on the chair. There was a file on the bar, which was unsealed. He took out the document as if no one was around. It was an appointment letter for a major general in the military.

The seal containing the special dawn power has been stamped, but the column for appointing the other party is temporarily vacant, waiting to be filled in later.

——Western Border Investigation Team, Special Major General.

The middle-aged man frowned at someone's slightly arrogant behavior and said, "Cangwu Fortress is a snake trap. The target is naturally the Dark Duke. If you think that you can rest assured with only Merrick, I suggest you re-examine your surroundings."

The old bartender raised his hand awkwardly. As the regional governor, his immediate superior was the King of the Western Territory, and he was currently in charge of one part of the closing chain.

"There is the Jing family's immortal battleship in the sky." The old bartender reminded him in person, not caring much about Jing Ran's murderous look.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Jiang He wrote down his code name on the appointment letter.

Seeing the other party give in, Jingran's expression softened a little.

"Yu Clan is wanted. In the entire Western Territory, only Jing Clan can protect you. But this is not free. You need to serve. You must give and receive. This is the most common equivalent exchange."

The old bartender picked up the wine glass again. The word "only" was obviously an exaggeration. Even though the number of princes in the empire was less than half a hundred, it would not make the Jing family the only one in the Western Territory.

Jiang He ordered a glass of the main drink here, Mirage Wine, and asked, "Can I understand that the Jing family cannot compete with the Yu family head-on, so they need to act in such a sneaky way?"

Jing Ran's face turned pale, and he said, "The Jing family is a respected family, and the Yu family is just an upper-class family. How can the two be compared?"

"Duke Yu is just a general under King Jingyang. The Yu family has been marrying daughters of the Jing family as their principal wives for generations, and that's how he got the position of guarding the western border."

"He is in a position but does not fulfill his duty. He has suffered two strategic failures. He should be stripped of his title, dismissed from his post, and exiled. Now he is teaming up with the imperial court and is fickle. He deserves death!"

The old bartender rolled his eyes secretly. The overly strong clan pride of the members of the aristocratic families really should be changed. Otherwise, they would easily give up the initiative in the conversation if provoked.

Jiang He sipped his wine and pondered. It was obvious that Duke Yu's distortion of the whole matter in the battle for the bones was not just due to the Yu family's power, but there were important figures in the court working in secret behind the scenes.

I have been traveling with Yu Jianyue these days, and he has told me a lot of top-secret information, including the "Resurrection of the Blood Moon" sixteen years ago and the centralization of power in the imperial center. The current Prime Minister Bai Gui strongly advocates change. Before this, to be promoted to the hero level, one does not need to go to the Imperial Capital and personally participate in the ceremony of being awarded the title.

This time, Duke Yu escaped unscathed from the responsibility for two defeats and even became a hero who turned the tide. This unusual behavior attracted the attention and vigilance of the leader of the aristocratic family in the Western Territory, the aristocratic Jing family.

The result of the preliminary investigation was that Duke Yu was involved with the imperial court and had deviated from the position of the local power, the Jing family.

The problem is that the Yu family was able to guard the Cangwu Province on the western border, and was obviously highly valued. They had been intermarried with the Jing family for generations, and such relatives should be the most trusted among the trusted.

After a round of derogatory remarks, facing Yu's naked betrayal, Jing Ran calmed down his extremely angry emotions. He glanced at Yu Jianyue who was not far away and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is true for you, Mo Ke, and Duke Merrick as well. That's why the Immortal Battleship is still in the sky, so we can sit here and talk."

Jiang He did not comment.

It's just a dog-eat-dog fight between the two sides. The fact that they can tolerate and intend to use the Dark Duke only shows that in the conventional sense and on the moral level, the Jing family is not a good thing either, and they are birds of a feather.

Jing Ran turned his head to look at someone and said seriously, "No matter what the reason is, the Yu family has put a lot of effort into arresting you, so I will protect you. As long as Duke Yu agrees, I will oppose it, even if it is just for the sake of opposing it."

"In about an hour, Duke Yu will arrive at Cangwu Fortress as acting lieutenant general and take full control of the defense."

"I will investigate his intentions in causing the war to fail."

"The Yu clan has secretly sent out elite forces to search for the famous spearman Dali, and your mission is to stop them."

Jing Ran handed over a note and said solemnly: "Major General Mo Ke, you have half an hour to exchange for military merit."

Jiang He took the note, on which was written an address - Dark Canyon, which was once the territory of Prince Severis.

"Jing, it seems that they are not very interested in famous guns." Jiang He asked bluntly. Suspicion means there might be a trap.

Jing Ran sneered and said, "The unknown strong man who killed Prince Severis did not take away the wreckage, which means the worst thing has happened."

"The gun spirit will inevitably fall."

"A Dali without a gun spirit is not a famous gun."

Jiang He's eyes changed slightly. Due to the existence of eternal death, the final time ring could not restore the completely annihilated soul. This was not good news for him, but if Dali was intact, the contender should be at the king level, not the lower creatures.

Jing Ran clapped his hands. At the wine table not far away, an officer stood up and said goodbye to a drinking buddy he had just met.

He had regular facial features and was about thirty years old, but his overall image was relatively odd, with a Mediterranean-like hairstyle, which should be an easy problem for this strong man. His left eye socket was empty, not because of an injury, but because there was nothing inside.

"Mediterranean" had a gentle smile on his face and nodded to someone.

Jing Ran introduced: "This is Jing Shu, a powerful hero without mythical form, who will act with you."

"He is my younger brother. Judging from his generational status, he is also the third uncle of Miss Yu."

Mediterranean said gently: "We can just talk about friendship as equals. In a sense, Miss Yu seems to be older than me."

Yu Jianyue smiled politely and did not respond.

The task was accomplished. Jingran took out an antique box from under the bar and handed it directly to someone.

After opening it, there were the most top-of-the-line custom-made equipment for a major general of the military, an Unbreakable-grade dagger with the only special effects of sharpness and sturdiness, an Unbreakable-grade bolt-action sniper source-force rifle with heavy-hit special effects and automatic calibration, in addition to that, there were various military supplies including ten Ultimate Bullets, and an Ultimate-grade white light armor that looked more like a shirt.

Behind the bar, the old bartender raised his eyebrows. No matter what, the aristocratic family had never disappointed anyone in terms of wealth and power. They casually gave away two immortal-level alchemical items at once. A top-notch family would never have such a luxurious background.

Jiang He picked up the box, took out a bullet to pay the bill, turned around and left the pub, and took out a "Border Handbook".

It provides a general introduction to the wild animals and rare treasures in the border area, focusing on describing various special terrains, and also has detailed level markings.

Bronze Age - Common, Rare.

Silver Age - sophisticated and perfect.

The Golden Age - the best and the most immortal.

The Heroic Age - epic and immortal.

Legendary Era——Legend, Holy Spirit.

Duke Merrick followed someone out of the tavern. He looked up at the sky and saw an Immortal-class Void Battleship hanging in the air above the clouds, looming. It was as if a black hole had appeared in his self-perception. He could see, but there was nothing in his perception.

"I think we might need a car."

Mediterranean clapped his hands, and Jing's unique "Dream Like Life Sutra" was activated. The dawn source power overflowed, and strands of light intertwined with each other, eventually forming a dawn-type field vehicle. Every inch of the material was exactly the same as the real thing.

Jiang He tilted his head, and Merrick said helplessly: "The core bloodline of the Imperial Jing family is born with special talents. After being developed through the Dream Like a Lifetime Sutra, it can show the power to turn the false into the true. However, every time a kind of existence is born, an equal amount of vacancies must be paid for." As soon as the words fell, a thin strand of hair flew up from the top of Mediterranean's head and turned into dust in the blink of an eye.

"Get in the car." Mediterranean said with a smile: "A real man doesn't need an image. I look forward to the day when I become bald."

Jiang He agreed with this and went straight to the back seat and said, "Let's exchange our military merits first."

Mediterranean sat in the driver's seat, and Duke Merrick sighed and sat in the co-pilot seat.

Yu Jianyue was very self-aware. He first ran to the side to vomit, and then sat in the back seat with a drunken face.

The Dawn Vehicle has a wild and rough appearance and looks like a moving rock, but its speed is quite fast. Its energy comes from source gold, and its running speed is comparable to that of ordinary gold.

The main field force of the Cangwu Army was destroyed. The huge blow made the Cangwu Fortress lifeless. The officers and soldiers who were once so arrogant now seemed to have their necks broken, and they basically walked on the road with their heads down.

Inside the fortress, the roads are straight, with Cangwu Avenue running through it. The streets on the left and right are neatly laid out, with a total of three auxiliary roads. The overall specifications are shaped like the Chinese character "丰".

In the center, the huge Wanjiangtai stands on the ground. It is made entirely of highly refined source stone and is incredibly strong. It is like the ballast stone of the fortress's overall defense.

In front of the Ten Thousand Generals Platform, a golden-armored figure has been standing there from the day the war began until today. The war envoys of the imperial royal family have always been known for their strength, loyalty and fearlessness, and the minimum standard for selection is that they must be golden creatures.

Mediterranean held the steering wheel, glanced at Duke Merrick beside him, and introduced:
"Iron Rule of the Empire: Military merit is above all else in wartime."

"Even future emperors are not allowed to interfere with the operation."

"Imperial Law Two: The Originator class is not allowed to cross the beacon line."

"In areas where the Dark Race's ancestors have crossed the line, any heroic creatures of the Empire who fail to fight to the death to stop them will be killed afterwards, without a cap."

"Iron Rule of the Empire Three: If a beacon zone is lost, the garrison officers and noble families at all levels will be dismissed from their posts and stripped of their titles."

"These three iron laws come from a legendary human being from the revival era of the empire five hundred years ago—Emperor Wuzong."

Mediterranean spoke with longing, saying, "In the past five hundred years, Emperor Wuzong has awakened four times, all because of challenges to the majesty of the Iron Law. The most recent one was about sixty years ago, when the ancestor of the blood clan sneaked into the inland of the empire. The strong men guarding the western border with equal life levels ignored it, which eventually led to the four provinces and billions of people becoming blood slaves. This is known in history as the Bloodfall Incident."

“Wu Zong thus awakened, killed two of our own heroes, and then fought with the legendary ancestor of the second clan in the air, before continuing to fall into silence.”

Jiang He looked out the car window. The empire had legendary life forms that could revive and fight at high intensity, so even if there were various problems inside, it could maintain overall stability.

Behind these three iron laws stood Wuzong, which gave them an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty.

However, the legendary life form needs to fight against the internal erosion of the gradually perfecting mythological form, and it is difficult to maintain the awakened state for a long time. The centralization of such a huge empire still seems difficult.

"Yu Jianyue is older than you. What does that mean?" Jiang He asked.

"You can also call me Jianyue." Yu Jianyue sneered.

Mediterranean's face was gentle, and he said: "This matter should be regarded as a scandal of the Yu family. In view of Duke Yu's choice, I will not shy away from it. Miss Yu was not born directly from the third generation son of the Yu family and the daughter of the Jing family..."

Yu Jianyue took over the conversation and said coldly: "I was indirectly cultivated. For the sake of potential, my direct parents died before the embryo was formed. The Yin-Yang Pisces Art can also be called the Yin-Yang Fish Art. Not only is the period before birth longer, but my mission in life is actually to be the reincarnation vessel of my great grandfather. Unfortunately, the gender is different."

In the mundane realm, the gender of a new life can be interfered with through technical means, but in the extraordinary realm, yin and yang are unpredictable. It is not a question of whether Duke Yu is willing to accept gender change, but that the two are simply not compatible.

To date, Duke Yu is already two and a half decades old, which makes him extremely old among the powerful human beings who bear the curse of eternal darkness. Everyone in the Western Territory knows that this powerful hero is extremely greedy for life, and his research on prolonging life, continuing life, reincarnation, blood transfusion, etc. is endless.

But Jiang He knew that these actions were nothing more than Duke Yu's attempt to cover up his own dark bloodline.

The Dawn Vehicle arrived in front of the Wanjiangtai.

Because he had annihilated millions of dark creatures in the war, Jiang He's military merit had been transformed layer by layer and had reached 16 duke-level military merits. Through the car window, he exchanged 8 epic martial arts books from the golden-armored warriors.

Mediterranean's expression was a little surprised. He felt that Jiang Wuyang's contribution in the battle for the bones should be re-examined.

Duke Merrick sighed painfully, thinking of the wildling army he had organized with all his efforts.

Money and goods are both in order.

Mediterranean stepped on the accelerator and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment." Jiang He said.

The next moment, the final time loop started.

Once in the Infernal Fortress, a horrific hellish disease swept through, causing the deaths of tens of millions of lives.

Time seemed to flow backwards, and the jade token captured the special mark of the kill, which was real and true. The Duke-level military merit soared from zero and finally reached 16 again.

Then the second time loop started.

Two Duke military merits, a total of 32

Jiang He chose to continue exchanging for epic skills.

The warrior in golden armor stared and refused to give it.

"The first iron law of the empire: military merit is above everything else." Jiang He said calmly.

The golden-armored warrior laughed angrily and said, "Do you think I'm dead?"

Jiang He hesitated for a moment and nodded.

——It turns out it wasn’t, he thought it was a puppet.

Golden armor warrior: “…”

Okay, okay (palms)

Jiang He got another 16 epic skills. Including the reward for making Black Judgment, as well as Pisces Sutra and Sword Sutra, the total number came to 32. His foundation is enough to rival that of several top-notch families.

[Tip: You have been blacklisted by the Spirit of the Empire - you will no longer be able to redeem military merits before the three-year review is completed]
Inside the car, Duke Merrick was stunned. One epic martial arts book was enough to become the inheritance of the family. If several books could complement each other, they would be more than enough to support the ordinary heroic forces.

Mediterranean couldn't help but look shocked. He dared to bet that the next two exchanges were definitely not real military merits, but the golden-armored warriors did not attack, which meant that an unprecedented loophole had appeared.

"Let's go." Jiang He said.

Mediterranean instinctively stepped on the accelerator, and the Dawn vehicle drove away under the dim gaze of the golden-armored warrior.
