The heavy infantry legion, upon which the empire relied to dominate for a millennium, was utterly defeated before the eyes of countless Roman generals who still yearned for the glories of the past and hungered to restore its honor! Like a bubble in a dream, it vanished completely.

Detonation? Galen was astonished. Could it be that what they had thrown into the grasshopper's head was a specialized bomb?

Lin Xiaoxiao finally crawled off the bed in the inner room. After walking out, she ignored the gathered dignitaries, took a slice of fish from the bag in her father's hand, and, while chewing, turned and headed back into the inner room.

Totori felt an inexplicable sense that something was wrong. Indeed, something was very wrong; the blood flowing from her waist had already stained her skirt, leaving a long, crimson trail.

Suddenly, the palace was ablaze with light and filled with clamor, punctuated by occasional screams. However, after a brief clash, everything returned to silence.

These were the reports Alta and his companions gathered after questioning numerous stragglers and refugees. The fall of the royal capital undoubtedly meant the Kingdom of Armenia had ceased to exist, which in turn seemed to signify that their last hope for vengeance had been extinguished.

"What did the Dragon Head talk to you about just now?" Lin Gucai asked Xiao Ming as they walked outside, chatting in what appeared to be a casual manner.

"It seems Fan Buhui brought a horse; isn't that a ready-made solution?" Zhang Yi said, pointing to a sturdy black horse tethered to the pillar on the left.

One had to realize that this pleasure boat was rented by the senior apprentice brother, and the people on board were defenseless civilians. What kind of deep-seated hatred could they possibly have against them to involve these innocent people?

In a 4-5-1 or 4-1-4-1 formation, the two midfielders pass within their respective zones. Cristiano and Kaka stretch the flanks, simultaneously ensuring that no offensive gaps are left in the half-court, maintaining a certain degree of pressure.

Just as Qin Yan reached out into the void and a long sword materialized, a sharp shout tore through the firmament from the scorched earth several yards beneath his feet. Instantly, a towering black demonic shadow with six eyes, emanating a demonic aura, surged violently from the dying body of Xu Tianlong.

"Sigh, if I weren't worried that someone at the hospital might recognize you, I wouldn't have been in such a rush to bring you back, leaving you with no one to take care of you now," Zhang Yuhua said.

Yang Fei'er knew that people in ancient times placed great importance on loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness; they might not consider their own well-being, but they could never disregard their family and brothers.

The iron hammer struck, and the jade seal shattered with a sharp sound. At that moment, everyone witnessed a bizarre sight: as the seal broke, the scepter suddenly emitted a dazzling light, which then slowly dimmed. Meanwhile, Jia Qianqian’s chest felt as though it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Under the gaze of thousands, a long blade was about to pierce Mi Lin’s back, but she, currently gathering celestial energy, could not move.

A crisp sound echoed through the air. Alan was merely a mortal with no cultivation, and having gone days without food while walking a hundred miles, he had reached the absolute limit of his physical endurance.

"Are you all right? Do you want to let the doctor check you again? Since we're already at the hospital," Du Moran said, offering a polite show of concern.

"No problem, let's sign the contract then," James said, waving his hand, and a middle-aged man resembling a lawyer stepped forward.

Ruan Xiangqin said, "Guozi, go find a hotel to settle the in-laws later; make sure it's a nice one." Guozi nodded in agreement.

The system had already explained things when the second world live stream was activated, so Feng Tian understood.

At this moment, Qiyu and Yunmeng had finished their cultivation and fully recovered. The two returned their crystal energy, opened their eyes, and stood up.

Xiao Tianyang was the son of the richest man in Shao City and the big brother of the local second-generation wealthy circle, while Wang Yunhan was the big sister.

He had been brought in by Ling Zhixin and did not need an invitation. Now that the manager came to ask for one, he naturally didn't have it.

Xia Xiaoyu seemed not to have noticed her mother's concern, staring fixedly in the direction where Li Ziyu and Jing Tianchen had departed.

Ke Xixi did not hear what the host said next; she only heard the news that her godfather had collapsed.

Perhaps due to the bright light above the hospital bed, or perhaps because of her illness, Li Xiaoxiao’s cheeks currently looked ghastly pale, as if they were made of flour.

But in the end, I couldn't hold on. I thought I could persist a little longer and had reached out to grab the pillar beside the operating table, yet I still collapsed to the floor. Chen Ze arrived just in time to prevent my head from slamming into the tiles, and then I heard his cries.

At this, those sitting on the sofa could no longer remain seated. They stood up immediately, staring intently at their surroundings, their eyes filled with disbelief.

When "Glamorous Life" was on the verge of collapse, Qin Yu’s appearance was like finding a treasure for Wang Yurong—a priceless one at that.

Qian Zhang loved meat dishes: red-braised lamb, red-braised beef tendon, and cumin-roasted lamb chops; he was truly worthy of being a descendant of the grassland people.

Lin Xingchen could not overcome the hurdle in his heart. Hypnotized by the Spring Festival Gala, he finally subconsciously opened his phone and accepted the WeChat friend request. A deluge of information flooded in, vast as the boundless sea, filling his vision.

In the alleyways, one could see refugees—some openly, some in secret—smoking opium, sniffing heroin, or just muddling through their days, their fates indistinguishable.

Chen Fei, however, kept his guard up, determined that if the opportunity arose, he would uncover the whereabouts of Yang Qingzheng.

When Sun Shining woke, the oil lamp was lit beside the bed. She sat up languidly, feeling a sense of disorientation, as if she were a guest in a dream. She had slept from dawn until dusk, yet she felt exhausted. She took two deep breaths, greedily inhaling the scent of the lamp oil, wanting to lean in closer to smell it more.

"I haven't told you yet the Emperor's intention behind the secret edict summoning me back to the capital." Ning Xiasheng, despite his high tolerance for alcohol, could not handle drinking so freely on an empty stomach; a hint of intoxication appeared in his brows, and the corners of his eyes were flushed red.

"Where does the immortal lady come from?" Qin Tian felt her hostility but could not fathom the reason, so he asked in a calm tone.
