Boom.
The peaks of the snow-capped mountains fell, causing earth-shattering shocks.
The impact almost caused the earth's surface to sink, and the snow and dust raised all over the sky covered the surrounding area for dozens of kilometers. The entire Far North Plateau was trapped in a white haze.
The earth shook and roared endlessly, bottomless cracks tore open one after another, and the mountains farther away were toppling and collapsing. The city of lights on the plain at the end of the south is dying like a weak candlelight about to be buried in the wind and snow.
In this scene, humans are not even qualified to stand up.
…
After lasting for nearly ten minutes, the shaking began to subside.
As time passed, the entire snowfield slowly fell into a quiet atmosphere, as quiet as if nothing had happened.
Just then, a hand stretched out from the snow.
After grabbing the ground with great effort, the owner of the hand broke through the snow above his head and climbed out with support.
"Ahem...haah...ha..."
Lying on the ground, the young man gasped for air with blind eyes, accompanied by chest-trembling coughs from time to time. Compared to the pain and hypothermia, he didn't know what he had just experienced.
As a member of the Magic Detection Team, we continued our exploration from the Arashi Temple to the north, and then...
When the earth tore apart and the surface collapsed, every second after that he felt that he might die at any time. Even until now, he feels incredible that he survived.
"Cough...cough!"
He coughed up blood in his lungs, but he did not dare to delay, because there were four members with him - this was a combined team composed of adventurers, knights, and churches. In addition to the rationality of the combination, it was also for Multi-force joint operations after adaptation.
And he is an adventurer.
Looking towards the white snowy field, his vision was a little hazy, and he couldn't even distinguish between east, west, north and west, as if everything was the same everywhere he looked.
At this time, he remembered what the alliance had given them before the trip, and quickly took it out from his chest with his frozen fingers wrapped around it.
It was a pink crystal pendant.
"..."
Triggered by magic, the pendant exudes a somewhat ambiguous aura - it is said that this thing was made by a succubus, and its biggest function is to guide the location of nearby targets of the opposite sex.
Maybe it's for this reason that the team is made up of men and women.
Soon, he found the Priestess of the Burning Sun Church in the snowdrift. After pulling her up, her face was as pale as a piece of paper. Probably only if you have experienced this scene together can you understand what it feels like.
The priest reluctantly generated a flame lantern, and the two quickly found the remaining three people. Although everyone was in a bad condition, there was nothing more they could ask for if they were still alive.
A group of people swayed and supported each other.
"Just now, what was it?" said the missionary who was also a member of the Lieyang Church.
The adventurer supported him and accidentally caught a glimpse of the other person's pink crystal pointing straight at him.
"...?"
"I don't know," the knight from Cali Mountain coughed, "It's too quiet around here. It couldn't have just been a landslide."
"If my guess is correct, that way should be north." The female elf pointed in a direction with her bow.
The five people looked over. Under the night, that direction was completely submerged in the wind and snow. The height was at least several hundred meters. The five people looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason.
At this moment, two huge balls dimly lit up in the snow curtain.
"!!!"
Several people shuddered and took a step back involuntarily, goosebumps appearing all over their bodies.
They realized that their gazes were too low, and they raised their heads high at the moment, too shocked to speak.
The previous shock was frightening.
At this moment, in the snow and wind that filled the sky, the unknown person who was hidden behind the snow curtain and could not see its specific face was watching indifferently like an ancient god.
And terrifyingly huge.
The adventurer realized that his lips were trembling, and when he heard a dripping sound, he turned his head and saw water dripping from under the Priestess's robe.
This is...an ancient magic weapon?
How did the legion defeat such a huge existence last time?
Before a few people could freeze in place, the two huge balls in the snow curtain started to move. From a distance, the whole figure looked like a huge castle shrouded in wind and snow.
It's... moving?
Following an extremely slow pace, a heavy whine of metal filled the air.
"dock----"
The sound wave caused an impact, and a strong wind suddenly blew across the snowfield. Several people became unsteady and fell to the ground again.
The huge figure in the wind and snow was like a mountain range, steadily moving forward from a distance.
After a long landing time——
Boom!
The ground cracked again.
…
after an hour.
Crownless City, temporary command post.
The shock under his feet came again. Ryan stabilized the items on the table and looked up at the beams shaking off dust.
"This is the third time. There is a march almost every thirty minutes."
And this also shows that magic weapons are gradually approaching Wuguan City. The sound of treading on the ground made people in the city panic. Since the incident occurred, even though a lot of preparations were made in advance, it has barely stabilized until now.
It’s not that I can’t understand the people’s reaction.
Compared with the weapons of the Hoof Fire Empire last time, the noise caused this time was really exaggerated.
"How's the situation with the detection team?"
"The furthest group has also been picked up," Elufa responded to him. "The five of them were very frightened, and we have let them rest."
"Take them to the courtyard to rest," Ryan nodded. "It won't be affected by the earthquake there."
Just being in this world has such a huge impact. This situation must not be dealt with using the experience of the last time.
This was the result of being greatly hindered by Luo Wei.
Ryan couldn't imagine what they and the city would have faced without what his best friend had done in secret.
Because of this, there is no chance of victory now.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, why was this close friend always so clever and clever, and was now regarded as a formidable enemy by many forces, but he was defeated in advance.
It’s like I can predict it in advance…
…
Four o'clock in the morning.
In the silent courtyard, all the forces were present.
In addition to the lords of more than a dozen small countries and races in the surrounding area, all the respectable craftsmen arrived. In addition, Moira, the chief war officer of Lan Temple, also officially attended.
Of course, the most surprising.
She is the fifth princess of the Lion Garden Kingdom.
This is the first time that the five princesses have participated in a meeting related to the forces of the Crownless City Alliance. Lovely's arrival not only means that the magic warship will be the key to the next attack, after all, the power of the magic cannon was witnessed by everyone last time; and she, as a lion The princess of Yuan undoubtedly has the position to influence Lion Garden's decision-making in Wuguan City, making the craftsmen seem to have seen a savior.
Of course.
It only makes sense...
Since being expelled from the power circle of the royal capital.
High emotional intelligence: She is a self-improving princess.
Low EQ: She talks like farts.
But after all, as a royal family of the second largest country in the West, her arrival immediately raised the status of the entire meeting to a higher level. Coupled with her delicate appearance, which is as petite and cute as a porcelain doll, and her princess tutu dress that looks like stars holding the moon, many people on the scene expressed their sincere admiration for her beauty and aura.
She is worthy of being the princess of the great kingdom of Lion Garden.
Even Elf Queen Elfa was among those who thought so. The elves on the lake don't have so many royal etiquettes. Compared to Loveli's unimpeachable dignity, she acts like a queen like a local emperor.
But looking down a little, she understood.
God gave her a lot, but also took away a lot from her...
After marveling at the temperament of the five princesses and not daring to look up, everyone also discovered that the area occupied by the other party was clearly Luo Wei's position.
That is to say...
That guy really belongs to the Fifth Princess, right?
He was secretive all the way, as if he didn't want anyone to know that he was working for the princess, and even now he didn't know where he was hiding.
"Please don't mind me, just treat me as a member of the expedition."
After making a formal self-introduction, Lovely said with ease.
After she finished speaking, she turned around, only to find that none of the group of people who had come just now and were following her had disappeared.
"???"
Where are people? ?
Saya, who had disappeared, came down to tell her the answer. Lovely's brows sank quickly, but he could only see the figures of the Royal Knights. He wanted to see the back but was not high enough.
You bastard! !
Why are you standing so far back?
She can't dance in front of so many people.
Ryan could see from the opposite side that Luo Wei and the others were standing next to the royal knights behind Her Royal Highness. In fact, they were only two steps away, but they were only blocked by the crowd.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled. This guy really didn't want any chance to show his face.
Obviously standing here.
He is the biggest contributor.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Ryan walked out of his seat and came to the center of the circular square.
"Everyone——"
He spoke loudly.
"I don't think I need to say more about the scene. I believe everyone knows very well why we are here. With the help of all parties, the intelligence we have obtained has a general understanding of the current situation."
Looking around at everyone, Ryan took a slight breath.
"Next I will tell you about the crisis we are about to face, and-"
"Then let me listen too."
A rough voice interrupted Ryan's speech, echoing in the courtyard like a bell.
People looked towards the source of the sound. From the large portal next to the square, a burly figure slowly walked out. His short white hair was messy and stuck on his head. His face was messy, his body was covered with stains, but his eyes were bright. He was accompanied by a red-haired girl who worked as a craftsman.
Marcus, the Eastern Marshal of the Front Hoof Fire Empire.
When they saw this man appear, the crowd was like boiling water. No one could forget that just a while ago, it was this man who led the army to attack Wuguan City head-on.
Most people dare not speak out when they are angry, but there are some power lords who are not afraid of their sharp edges.
"Why are you so embarrassed to show up here, Marcus?" the demon king's general said.
Everyone, including Dundry and Vanessa, looked at this man with hostile eyes.
Marcus smiled mockingly.
He seemed to have completely lost the commanding aura of a marshal, and looked like a down-and-out ranger fighting alone. He paid no attention to the speeches and gazes of these people.
Instead, he asked in an uncertain direction:
"Where's Lovie Brook?"
"..."
No one responded.
Ryan curled his lips, now he knew why Rowe was hiding...
And that's when.
Another low and majestic voice sounded from the direction of the portal at the entrance to the courtyard.
"Haha...it looks like things are about to get interesting."
People were unfamiliar with this voice, and when they looked up, they were shocked by the person who appeared there.
Surrounded by several Lion Garden knights in blue and white armor, a tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged man wearing a Lion Garden military uniform walked out calmly and quickly.
He has curly brown hair with a streak of gray in his hair, strong and steady facial features and a resolute wide chin. His eyes are impenetrable, giving him the impression of a solid politician and strongman.
Lovely stood up directly.
The other party stood with her hand on her chest, lowered her head and gave her a Lion Garden Military Salute.
Then he raised his head calmly and smiled.
"Good evening, Your Highness Lovely."
No wonder Lovely was so excited, because the man in front of her was the one who made her talk like farts.
The current prime minister of Shiyuan Kingdom——
Randall Ospold.
