After hanging up Zhang Longjian's call, Lu Yu hurriedly opened his computer to check the latest international news hot spots, searching for information on the Shenwu Realm game online.
Searching for Shenwu Realm game, he only found a web game called Shenwu Realm, but no useful information was found.
The international news hot spots seemed normal, too normal to be believed.
There were no major events, but small incidents kept happening, with various celebrity hot topics drawing attention, giving the impression of a cover-up.
Reports of foreign wars that used to frequently appear in the news were now completely absent; even if they appeared, it was only simple text descriptions, summed up in one sentence, with not a single picture.
The foreign videos and images that could be found online were all released at least two months earlier, and recently, there has been a significant reduction in the number of privately shot foreign videos and images.
Moreover, according to the information on chats and forums, it seems that travel abroad has been restricted, with many people asking when flights will resume.
Looking out of the window at the peaceful world outside, Lu Yu seemed to see the storm looming in the darkness.
If chaos is really rampant abroad, it would be impossible for the country to keep it covered up indefinitely. The truth will eventually come to light.
Lu Yu opened a proxy software, preparing to check foreign websites to understand to what extent the situation has developed.
If the situation has developed to a dangerous level, he would consider rapidly strengthening himself at all costs to ensure his safety.
Several proxy softwares proved ineffective, so Lu Yu found the latest proxy software online, showing an update date at 11:45 AM yesterday, which was only four or five hours ago.
After paying the usage fee, Lu Yu successfully accessed foreign networks, gleaning information about the current situation abroad from snippets of text and a few images and videos.
Although information was also being suppressed online abroad, it was clearly not as well as in Hua Country, and there were still a lot of ambiguous messages circulating on the network.
Lu Yu also saw a video of a firefight, where knights with rifles shot and killed foreign police officers, while they themselves were hit by several bullets but remained unharmed.
As for how Lu Yu knew the unharmed person was a knight, it was because the video's title was "Knight vs. Police."
This video was a recruitment video from a knight organization, hoping more people would join their group.
Halfway through watching the video, it suddenly disappeared, with a prompt saying it was unavailable for viewing.
Most of the netizens mocked the visuals as special effects, while a few questioned the video's authenticity. These few were familiar with the scene in the video, knowing a gunfight occurred there a few days ago.
The video's publisher didn't step forward to explain it either, and not long after the video vanished, even the discussion forum disappeared.
As Lu Yu opened other pages to browse foreign information, a red alert suddenly appeared on the computer, and then the network was cut off, and the computer was forced to shut down and restart.
After restarting, Lu Yu found that all the pages he browsed and the images he saved were gone, as the computer had been remotely formatted.
Looking at the spotless desktop of his computer, Lu Yu's eyelid twitched.
In a corner room, a network worker glanced at the just-cleared IP address while taking a sip of coffee used for staying awake, continuing to monitor other people's activities on the internet.
In this place, there were at least hundreds of network workers like him, responsible for monitoring the trends of domestic networks, controlling network dynamics, and filtering the circulation of domestic and foreign information.
He had processed many IP addresses that were trying to use proxies to watch foreign videos.
Two months ago, handling one case required reporting and had a real-world visitation requirement, but over the past two months, too many people were processed, so the real-world visitation step was omitted. How long foreign information can be suppressed will be managed accordingly.
...
The day after Lu Yu left Beifeng City, a team of hundreds of cavalry arrived there, each riding a Dragon Scale Horse at the Demon Might Realm, led by a cavalry officer mounted on a Verdant Wind Steed at the Demon Spirit Realm.
Upon learning of the cavalry's arrival, the City Lord of Beifeng City was somewhat surprised, "Why is the Black Dragon Army coming here? Haven't I already reported that the demon disaster is resolved? Why is the Black Dragon Army still coming?"
The City Lord of Beifeng City urgently met with the cavalry officer, "Captain Lin, you grace us with your presence; my apologies for not welcoming you from afar. May I ask the reason for Captain's visit to Beifeng City?"
"There's no need for courtesy, City Lord Lu. I am here for personal matters, so there's no need for tension." Lin Feng said, "The timely intervention in the demon disaster is all thanks to you, City Lord Lu; otherwise, the demon spread would have had unimaginable consequences."
"Not at all," Lu Jingfeng replied modestly, "As long as the Black Dragon Army is stationed in the Tianfeng Province, Tianfeng will never face the threat of demons."
The Black Dragon Legion, one of the largest armies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, responsible for suppressing all internal unrest, with its range covering all provinces.
Although the rank of Captain is not high, it depends on where one is a Captain; in the Black Dragon Legion, a Captain's position is far superior to the one in Beifeng City.
Though Captain Lin Feng, standing before him, has not yet reached the Core Formation Realm, Lu Jingfeng still had to treat him courteously.
Without mentioning anything else, just the army formation of three hundred Black Dragon Army cavalry led by Lin Feng can counter Core Formation Realm Martial Cultivators head-on.
Even Martial Cultivators who are newly in the Core Formation Realm are no match for them. Lu Jingfeng would have to avoid a direct clash with the strongest charge of the three hundred Black Dragon cavalry.
This is the strength of the army formation and the reliance of the Great Zhou Dynasty in ruling vast territories.
The position of the Great Zhou royal family is maintained by the strength of royal bloodline, the continuous emergence of talent, and the rise of mighty figures.
But the ongoing rule of the Great Zhou over vast territories for thousands of years depends on the army formations that can unite soldiers' strength into one, achieving qualitative change from quantitative change.
An excellent commander can maximize the cohesion of soldiers' strength and exploit the advantages of army formations to the greatest extent.
Although Beifeng City's army also has army formation training subjects, Beifeng City's army formation is not comparable to the Black Dragon Army's.
The army formation of Beifeng City's army is just a formation, and the leader hasn't practiced the special cultivation technique that can gather soldiers' strength.
Such a special cultivation technique is only practiced by leaders of formal legions of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Beifeng City's guard army can only be considered an irregular army, and even the troops guarding the Qingyan Mountains are irregular.
Seeing that Lin Feng seemed to be waiting for someone, Lu Jingfeng suggested, "Why don't Captain Lin come to the City Lord's mansion for a visit; if you are looking for someone, I can help."
Lin Feng replied, "No need, the person I'm waiting for has already arrived."
Lin Feng, who had not dismounted while talking to Lu Jingfeng, immediately dismounted upon seeing the person he was waiting for and walked toward him outside the camp.
Following Lin Feng's lead, the three hundred cavalrymen also dismounted, standing beside their Dragon Scale Horses, looking reverently at the approaching figure.
