Qing stared at the fire on the ground. The rumored vast desert of Istania was just a vast expanse of darkness at night. The airship passed over the ridge above the clouds, and Idos was just a small area on the edge of the desert behind it.
Viewed from this height, the ancient city is just like a coin reflecting the light of fire, lying on the heavy earth. On the other hand, the starry sky above our heads is still a bit vast.
Another golden firelight streaked across the night sky, illuminating his eyes. That was the 'Ice Iron', which was releasing its airship and alchemy rails, triggering sparks of magic and igniting fireworks in mid-air.
Seventeenth ship.
A total of forty airships will be deployed during the entire operation, and only half of them have arrived.
A tall, honest man who looked like an iron tower walked up from below the cabin and looked at the scene outside. He walked up to Qing and said, "Team 3, if I could have participated in such an operation three years earlier, I would have been as excited as the newcomers in Team 7."
"But as for now," the big man shook his head a little bored: "I only care about when to close the team, how much information this battle can earn me, and how much subsidies the club will give us."
He looked at the floating clouds outside, and golden lines also reflected in his dark eyes.
Qing doesn't like to talk, and his community ID also has three ellipses. Over time, the team members like to use the nicknames "Three Points" and "Team Three" to refer to him for short. However, as a star player in the guild, of course, the ID cannot be so nondescript. His current ID was actually obtained by his assistant.
As for his assistant, she is a little woman who likes the color of the sky.
However, Qing still had some words for his team members. He replied without looking back:
"That means you're old."
"I'm old, that's not the case." The big man leaned back and held the back of his head with a pair of generous hands: "Fighting with those from the Rainbow Alliance is still interesting. What fun is there in bullying children?"
"After all, we are different from them. What we are interested in is the third world, right?" He cast his gaze sideways.
Qing didn't answer. The joke wasn't funny at all.
If the structure of the chosen ones is a pyramid, people like them are not at the top of the pyramid, but they are not considered at the bottom either. But those who have the ambition to climb up but do not have the strength to match it are probably just such a group of people.
Do they care about this?
Let’s focus on how to improve your ranking first.
He asked: "So what's going on with this operation?"
"Fight the air pirates, as you can see."
"When did the headquarters become interested in air pirates?"
"Isn't this the alliance's suspension?" The big man shrugged: "What else can we do, make some extra money."
"Let's leave this reason to convince outsiders." Qing Mo replied. He is not as good as those at the top of the pyramid, but he can still be considered an elite player - he has a thorough understanding of these things.
The big man laughed: "Well, I just heard people talk about it - it should be related to the Battle of Changxia."
"Obelisk?"
The big man nodded.
"Does this mean that the rumor is true?"
"I don't know if it's true or not," the big man shook his head: "That's just what he said."
"Then what does this place have to do with the obelisk?"
"There are two obelisks in Corin-Ithurion, two in the Oshur Empire, one in Lotao and the Hill of Giant Trees, and one in Covenant Mountain." The big man replied: "One is in Fenris. It has been confirmed that it is underground. There are also two theories, one is in the south and the other is in the north."
"In the north is the Traveler Swamp, and in the south is the Istanian Desert. I heard that the headquarters has received a tip that Idos has clues related to it - maybe he is already in the Blood Shark Sky right now. The thief is in his hands."
He pointed down.
"Is the obelisk really that important?" A voice came from behind the two of them.
Qing looked back and saw a short woman standing there, but she was a little older than him, but still a bit delicate and charming. She was his personal assistant.
The big man smiled slightly, and did not go further. He only replied: "There must be very important interests behind the obelisk, but that is not something we can understand. But for the domestic competition area, this is an important reshuffle. Chance."
"It's also an opportunity to compete with the Rainbow Alliance." Qing added.
The woman shook her head: "I don't understand what you men are thinking. We have been fighting with the Rainbow Alliance for so many years, but we have not achieved any results. Instead, we have wasted a lot of resources. I think that for many problems, it is easier to sit down and divide the interests. .”
As she spoke, she took out a notebook: "Qing, you haven't officially appeared for a long time. This battle is very easy. The guild has a live broadcast plan. Do you want to show it off? Increase your popularity among fans."
Qing took the book noncommittally, this was just a job for him.
As for the matter between the descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance, he did not refute his assistant's words. He actually sees it better than many people - as the two largest forces in the country, why do the Rainbow Alliance and the descendants of Flor have to fight to the death?
The reason is actually very simple. Whether it is the descendants of Flor or the Rainbow Alliance, the issue between the two has never been a matter of profit distribution.
It's a matter of survival.
This sounds ridiculous at first. The Descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance have survival problems, so wouldn’t the other guilds not know whether they are alive or dead? But the fact is that there is a Rainbow Alliance of equal size next to the descendant of Flor's bed.
This problem is the same for the Rainbow Alliance. Therefore, unless either side gains an absolute advantage, the fight will not stop.
This is not only a battle of spirits, but also a life and death struggle.
He raised his head and looked at the bunches of golden light flashing and then disappearing under the vast night sky——
In the entire China Division, there are no more than three guilds that can come up with plans for a battle of this scale. But for a behemoth like the Flor's Guild Alliance, such actions should be considered less than thirty or fifty times in the history of the alliance.
And in the future, there will be more...
Of course, the same is true for the Rainbow Alliance. There is also a self-contained silver Vislan, and Elite.
These are the only opponents for the descendants of Flor in the country. Others, such as the Eastern Communist Party and the Southern Alliance, are at a lower level. Of course, the Southern Alliance also has aborigines, as well as Ye Hua, who is a relatively special existence in Kaolin-Ishulian.
But all this was just before the Battle of Changxia.
After the Battle of Changxia, it was a different scene.
Although the Rainbow Alliance and the Descendants of Flor were temporarily dormant after the battle, they were just licking their own wounds. The whole body was affected by one move. This battle that took place in the vast forest of the Dragon Roar Mountains, In fact, what really opens is this curtain:
The intensity of the Changxia War has exceeded any guild conflict in the past. The five major guilds that the descendants of Flor joined in the battle, with the Jefrit Red Team as the main body, invested 1,400 fighting groups, totaling 21,000 people, and each person lost one-third of the Starlight on average. above.
The Rainbow Alliance also has the Silver Forest Spear and the Rose Crusaders, and the casualty rate is higher.
The fierce battle actually means the beginning of the real break between the two camps——
However, there are intact eggs under the nest. When these two behemoths finally make up their minds and start fighting, how can other guilds in the entire domestic competition area be spared? Against this backdrop, almost everyone has sensed a hint of uneasiness.
The so-called crisis in the southern border is actually just another reflection of the current situation.
After the BBK alliance reached an agreement with the Prime Minister's party and intervened in the south, the former self-contained Southern Alliance also disintegrated. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed. The descendants of Flor took the lead in launching the offensive, and the Rainbow Alliance was naturally not to be outdone.
In fact, the Eastern Communist Party has reached an agreement with the Rainbow Alliance. This business alliance that originally operates along the Baozhang Coast naturally has an unusual affinity with the Rainbow Alliance in El Paxin in the north.
At this point, several major forces in the country have actually made their own choices passively or actively, and the remaining guilds, large and small, naturally cannot stay away.
Nowadays, all the guilds with some ability are looking for is to try to go to the second world to seek the best interests in this changing situation - or to join either of the two camps.
There are only three so-called neutrals left: Silver Vislan, Elite, and the military. If we ignore the Stargate Port, how long can Silver Vislan and Elite last?
The ten major guilds are all recruiting troops to the First World. Silver Vislan is originally biased towards its old club, the Rose Crusaders. Once other guilds join the war, Elite will obviously not be able to 'clean up' on its own.
Now from El Paxin to White City, from Grande to Forge Hall, the atmosphere is tense not only in the southern border?
And the beginning of everything was just a small battle on Covenant Mountain.
Qing opened his own dragon knight system.
A piece of light blue light refracted in his eyes, and rows of data, menus, and various analyzes were swiped down from top to bottom - but he closed these pages one by one, and in the end only a live broadcast page remained.
After setting the one-minute picture delay, he clicked to start the connection.
"You'd better smile," the assistant shook his head: "Now, unlike in the past, people will like you even if you have a straight face. It's better for the players to be more approachable. You can also interact with the fans."
Qing looked at the other party, a little dumbfounded.
Just then a beam of golden light flashed across the night sky.
He looked in that direction and saw that the 'Kingslayer's' brigade had entered the battle - the former was the branch of the 'Godslayer' in the first world. After all, it was one of the ten major guilds, so it had such a background. Although his guild is also among the descendants of Flo, it is inferior.
So these old people had to take action. The top masters who returned from the second world sounded like a good gimmick, but only after actually going to that place did they realize that they were nothing among those people.
This is probably the biggest misfortune for those in the middle of the pyramid.
Not going to a higher place may sometimes be a blessing.
The picture in the live broadcast room came into his eyes.
He casually entered a title on it: 'Airborne combat plan, live broadcast (opponent, Blood Shark Air Pirate) -'
Then he neither answered the assistant's words nor communicated with the fans. He only glanced at the big man next to him and said, "I landed in area A4. You go to area A5 to pick up the others."
The big man nodded.
Qing turned around and took a step forward. He adapted to the wind element and returned to the sea like a fish. This is also his biggest capital, as well as his capital as the leader of this brigade. For a guild like theirs to be able to cultivate a dragon knight with adaptability to the wind element, it is already a matter of pride.
He turned around deftly in mid-air and glanced in the direction of the aeroplane. In just a blink of an eye, the three-masted sailboat turned into a small black dot.
The next moment, he also fell into the clouds, and his vision was dark.
As a dragon knight, he naturally did not need to enter the airship for landing operations. Qing Mo counted three times and then started the magic furnace. Far away on the boat, the big man saw a golden light flying out from the clouds and disappearing in an instant.
…
In the square hall, amidst the smoke and dust, several people were making loud coughing sounds without restraint.
They were not busy chasing Fang Plover, but someone first dragged out the man who was covering his eyes and crying, lit up the lighting crystal, and looked at the red and swollen eyes of his companion. The remaining people couldn't help laughing. Make a sound.
The man gritted his teeth and cursed a few words, but the person he was attacking was not the Fang Plover who caused all this, but his own people who had no sympathy: "Fuck you, if I hadn't shot that arrow just now, I would have been hit like this A little trick?”
"Hahaha, what is this called?" Others laughed lowly: "Flying geese all day long, and finally the geese pecked me blindly."
"It looks like that little guy is quite capable, Connor," one person said with a smile: "That flash bomb can be thrown away without any hesitation. It's not a matter of level, it's a talent that can be made."
"How about you ask him if he is interested in joining our guild."
"Come on," the man replied with tears, "It's just a little trash. I shot him with an arrow and he couldn't run far."
Someone held up the light of the lighting crystal and went over, picked up Fang Plover's lost thing, looked at it, and couldn't help but whistle: "Look what this is." He said as he threw the thing over.
When others saw it, their eyes lit up: "Screaming Banshee, your opponent is a combat craftsman."
"That man is not very old," said Nightingale, who picked up the Screaming Banshee. "I just saw him through the light. He was still a child. Now I am more interested in him. He is so young. A battle craftsman must be a selector."
"They're probably people from the Dragon Fire Guild," the tearful man wiped his tears and choked, "Are you sure you want to have anything to do with these people?"
Everyone was startled.
Then someone whispered: "What's the matter? It's not like the guild has never cooperated with the Dragon Fire Guild. It's just that what happened later, the higher ups quickly cut off the relationship with the other party. Money can make all the difference, you Do you really think someone has found out so clearly?”
"Shh," the leader glared at several people angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, you are tired of staying in the guild and want to experience the life of a savage?"
Everyone then fell silent.
At this time, the communication crystal in Nightingale's hand lit up. The latter picked up the crystal, and a rustling, intermittent voice came from inside: "...can you hear...?"
"...Fuck, the interference is a bit serious, what the hell is this place?" Nightingale patted the crystal hard twice: "Didn't you tell me it's an anti-interference crystal? Did the people in the logistics department get kickbacks again?"
He picked up the crystal and asked loudly: "...who is over there?"
"I'm Qing."
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Although they can be regarded as an elite team of descendants of Flor, they are more than one level behind the members of the brigade. What's more, the person on the other end of the communicator is the leader of the brigade, a dragon knight from the second world.
Everyone's breathing became softer. This was a legendary figure they had only heard of by name but never actually met. In fact, if all the major guilds were not sending top selectors back to Aitaria, they might not be able to meet these characters until they retire.
Another rustling voice came from the communication crystal: "...I heard that you encountered a little trouble over there. What is the situation...?"
Everyone looked at the broken screaming banshee.
The team leader signaled Nightingale to take the communication crystal, took the crystal and replied: "Team 3, it's just a small problem. There seems to be a combat craftsman in the tunnel. It's not clear yet whether the other party is from the Dragon Fire Guild."
Qing obviously didn't care about the other party's identity, and just asked: "Can it be solved?"
The team leader nodded: "It's not a big problem." It can be seen from the previous contact that the opponent is not very clever and is injured. It is only a matter of time before the opponent is solved.
"Okay," Qing responded: "You keep communicating, go solve the trouble first, and then come back to meet me. I looked at the map. The mission target should be closest to your area. Be careful of the nearby blood sharks. Steal."
Everyone in the group nodded.
The leader didn't waste any time and just waved his hand. The Nightingale immediately dropped the Screaming Banshee in his hand, then pulled out the dagger and walked towards the other end of the hall.
The others followed one by one, and the last one was the guy who was caught in the flash bomb and burst into tears. He was holding a crossbow and was responsible for cutting off the rear. After everyone passed through the long corridor, they saw the exit of the corridor that was cut off by a crossing underground river -
Just like Fang Plover who came here for the first time, everyone present was also stunned. However, the nightingale reacted the fastest and jumped down from the break first, then groped along the shadows on the side of the corridor.
Seeing this scene, the team leader also signaled to the others and extinguished the lighting crystal.
The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.
And at that moment, they heard a sound of metal clashing, which seemed to come from behind the bend in front, and then there were two rapid trembling sounds of swords, mixed with the nightingale's low scolding.
But after a few short sounds, everything returned to silence, as if all sounds had disappeared at once.
Everyone was stunned, and then saw Nightingale's name dimmed in the team channel.
