"I have long said that the expectations for this matter are very low, but you just don't listen."
"How did I know that Cheng Yaojin who showed up halfway was so powerful and so bold? Even a player can't do it."
The border between Cosma County and Ferron County has now become the temporary logistics headquarters of the Fleur Empire. Due to the previous defeat of the principality, the imperial army, which still uses the Snow Wolf Army as the front line, has already moved the most intense battle line. It was pushed deep into Felong County, even to the west of Zaraha City. Although the principality organized several counterattacks a while ago and relied on the defense of Zaraha's remaining city to barely resist the empire's attack, it could not change the fact that most of Ferron County was occupied. Therefore, for the border between the two counties, For the location of the Imperial Base Camp, there is no doubt about its safety.
And this place has now become a camp for adventurers from the empire and a paradise for adventurers.
"According to the reports of the remaining members of the fourth team, the situation in Fenghua Town has been suppressed by the local Mages Council and the Warriors' Home after the situation in Fenghua Town turned into chaos. Earth Mage Jin even dealt with many people forcefully. We didn’t even give face to the envoys sent by the principality. From this point of view, our plan has basically failed.”
Still wearing a white scholar's robe, still wearing one-sided glasses, but the book in his hand seemed to be a different one - the player named Yan Dong flipped through the pages of the book casually, but his attention was obviously not on it: "We should reflect. "
"The plan provided by the planning team does not seem to have any negative effects." Flying freely put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside the tent: "At least this is the case for the empire. The situation in the principality, we are originally There is no need to think about it, because... we, the Wings of Freedom, were the ones who were kicked out in the first place.”
"The hostility was a long time ago."
"But there is still a problem." The white-robed scholar did not raise his head, because this was his habit when thinking: "Our hostile behavior should not be blind, as this will make everyone target us. If... ..”
He lowered his voice: "If the empire loses, we will be very passive."
"Of course I understand this." Freefly also lowered his voice: "The operation in Fenghua Town is just a gambler's investment. At first, we did not expect that Wizard was also coveting there... ..”
"According to my analysis, Wizard did not set control of Fenghua Town as their goal." The white-robed scholar interrupted the other party's conversation: "Wizzard has always aimed to rely on the power of mages, fighting for power, seizing territory, and It's not their strategic style, and it can be seen from the fact that they finally withdrew from that area...So what I mean is, we shouldn't do this kind of opportunistic behavior."
"You..." A look of displeasure appeared on Freefly's face, but it was concealed the next moment: "Then based on your thoughts, what should we do?"
"The plan of the four teams in Fenghua Town did not make any wrong moves in the general direction. The reason why it failed was that in addition to the strong intervention of NPC forces, the intervention of some individual players was also one of the reasons for our failure." There was no wave in the white-robed scholar's voice: "And our personal strength is not strong enough to block these factors."
"Insufficient control of abnormal factors was a key factor in our failure."
"As expected of our military advisor, his analysis makes perfect sense every time." Freefly nodded lightly, and then changed the subject: "But...such reasons seem to be impossible to make up for with the brain. At the end of the day...is it still because we are not strong enough and need to continue training?"
"Stealing chickens requires strength as a guarantee. What's more, we are a small group of people deep behind enemy lines and do not have the strength to suppress resistance at critical moments. Even if the plan is excellent, it will be difficult to completely complete it. Captain of the fourth team 's failure is one example, and...the allies he contacted were also a bit..."
"Weak."
"That red soul?" Freefly said: "That was contacted by Brother Liangchen. It is said that he is his friend in real life. He is very powerful in Fenghua Town..."
"In this game of the free world, heroes must be judged by heroes in the end." The white-robed scholar shook his head and closed the book: "Judging from the final result, their personal strength was not enough to defeat their opponents, and they were on the spot. The choice seems to be for their own selfish interests. So in the future we should also pay attention to the cultivation of personal strength and...the selection of allies."
"Hmph, hum, I understand." Freefly clapped his hands up and down: "This suggestion is long-term. We have also begun to train some potential talents, and this time the League Cup... is a It’s a very good stage.”
"A stage for testing."
The neighing of war horses sounded in the camp not far away, and then the thunderous sound of horse hooves passed by the tent next to them. Since the adventurers did not have a formal status in the imperial army, their camp was also arranged in the army. The periphery of the camp is even divided into two parts from the Imperial Army's camp, so whenever troops go out for battle, players will hear soldiers with high morale passing through their doors in their rest area, Head to the battlefield with a variety of bugles.
The sound of horse hooves at this time was probably a sign of another attack.
"A new attack is about to begin. Let's proceed as planned." Freefly opened the curtain of the tent and said, "Just ignore the little things."
"...That's fine." Yan Dong also stood up: "If we can really break through Fars Fortress, everything will become clear. Then... we will be busy. "
Freefly burst into laughter.
"The speculation about the clown..." Before setting off, the scholar in white robe suddenly said: "What do you think...?"
"...Ignore him, let's deal with our matters first." Freefly was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Even if it is true, he is still far away from us."
"Whether it's distance or strength."
The scholar in white robe said nothing.
"I know your worries." Freefly looked at the troops retreating and said softly: "But this is not what it used to be. When one and two people climb out of history, they just want to earn some fame again, so that they can win in this world. They will just continue to mess around in the world. After all, they will not pose much of a threat to our development. We now have so many resources at our disposal, and even the outcome of the war is under our noses. We still have With so many weapons and equipment and so many players, as long as we can suppress the old guys in the free world, we will definitely be able to win the UEFA Cup this time and seize the number one spot in the league."
"Hmph, Jianghu has grown old. It's time... for us to take over."
"So, regarding the registration arrangements..."
"Why, you still don't believe my vision?"
"No, it's just that I'm worried about interpersonal relationships..."
"Ha, so that's it." Freefly dismissed a subordinate who reported the report and began to walk forward: "Don't worry, Xue Ling Huan Bing is a person who understands the general situation. Her current performance is just to vent her dissatisfaction. , she understands my good intentions, and..."
"Do you think I can't see Liangchen's thoughts? If this arrangement continues to develop, it will only be beneficial, not harmful."
"I stay with them every day, believe me, that's right."
He turned around and blinked with a strange expression.
***************
"Do you know the registration arrangements for Jianghu?"
"Still inquiring, but...there shouldn't be any changes."
"Hmph, in that case...they'll have something to look at this year."
In Tania, the capital of the Principality of Ernifia, the "Dignity of the Common People" tavern was still in its old location, but this time, the people talking were replaced by Luo Rigu Yan and Fu Sheng Lu Meng.
"If you really practice according to my suggestions, I believe you will give them a huge surprise." The scholar in black put the cup containing non-alcoholic drinks on the table, and then slowly opened it Eyes off: "The alliance's usual routine has existed for too long. It's time to make changes, and the design of the free world is the most suitable place for change."
"I have indeed comprehended two skills." Luo Riguyan said in a whisper that did not fit the image: "According to your imagination... However, I should be able to comprehend more."
"Then it's your own problem." Fusheng Limeng shook his head, and then continued his previous topic: "In addition, there is the Sword of Justice, Lanshan, and those fools who are number two in the world... ..Roughly nothing has changed.”
"The only one that may make changes should be the Wings of Liberty." He paused, while sorting out the information in his mind: "It is said that they have promoted some new players this year, and they are preparing to use them as a weapon to participate in the League Cup, although I guess We don’t know how powerful their so-called trump card is, but it is an unstable factor for us after all..."
"It's unknown to us, and the same to others, so... don't worry about it." The strong man in red robe drank the strong wine in the cup, and then let out a loud breath of alcohol: "You, You just think too much, haven’t you learned a lesson from what happened in Fenghua Town..."
"That is a lesson, but it is a lesson that I underestimated." The scholar replied: "If I find those hidden mice in time, we should be able to..."
"Okay, okay, don't think about the past, let's deal with it now. The people in Jianghu have become fools in resisting the invasion of the empire. They must not have time to train new people. Although the Sword of Justice will be easier , but it’s not far behind, we..."
He leaned forward: "Should we take the opportunity to prepare?"
"It's too late to recruit people now." The scholar spread his hands helplessly: "Registration is just around the corner. Unless you are a player with sufficient strength, it will be unlucky to be dragged into the competition like this. It is better for us not to commit suicide. "
At this point, the scholar paused for a while: "If... someone like him comes to participate, I will not hesitate."
Although the tavern during the day is not as lively as it is at night, there are still many people visiting. However, the frequent customers at this time did not cover up the silent atmosphere here. After a long time, Luo Rigu Yan picked up his wine glass and took a heavy sip.
"is it him?"
"Not sure, but... there's no one else."
"Maybe... it's a newcomer who has just emerged?"
"Ha! It's not like you don't know how powerful he is. If just anyone could do it... the world would have exploded long ago."
"Okay." The man in red robe lowered his head and sighed, then looked out the window: "Anyway, I am still very happy. After all, he is a great person. His existence itself is enough to be a light bulb. Since he We still have no reason to live in this world..."
"I've stopped moving forward."
"That's good if you think so." The scholar laughed softly: "And he is probably only in his twenties with abilities now. Even if he was a legend in the past, it is impossible for him to catch up with this competition."
"Look, we can still waste another UEFA Cup, so... cherish it."
*********************
In the eastern part of the principality, on the outskirts of the Free City, a group of boys and girls were shouting and shouting near a dilapidated ruins, as if they were practicing. Not far away, a long-haired woman stood watching the training of these players. From time to time, he used instructions to admonish the people in the middle.
At a certain moment, a man wearing a shabby cloak came to this place at some point. He looked at the training of the group of young and competitive players, and shook his head after a long time.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you go south?"
"came back."
Jian Beidong rarely used his usual serious expression, and changed into a frivolous tone: "Xiao Xuxu, do you miss me, brother?"
"No, and in terms of birthday, I'm older than you..."
The woman shook her long hair and put away the rapier she had been wielding for command: "If nothing happens, get out of here and don't disturb my training here. These people have to sign up before the end of the month... ..."
"Don't you want to know how my mission went?"
"What does your mission have to do with me? Are you good enough to give me the reward?"
"Of course... no." Jian Beidong curled his lips, and then reorganized his emotions: "Then... do you want to know about my mission experience?"
"In no mood."
"Do you want to know who I saw?"
The woman pursed her lips.
"I saw him..."
"Oh, you're so annoying! Even if I beg you, can you just leave quickly..."
Under the hot sunshine, the long-haired woman turned around, yelled at the figure behind her, and then stared at him with angry eyes. But after a moment, she looked at the man with his arms crossed and stood upright with a sly smile, Eyes brightened.
"What...did you just say?" A hand covered in leather armor slowly touched her chest: "Is it...him?"
"It's him." Jian Beidong thought for a while, then scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Is it really him? Is he still alive?"
"Hey, hey, if he's dead, why have you been looking for him for so long... Hey, hey, calm down! Calm down!"
The young players on the training ground slowly stopped training in unison and watched as the instructor they respected and admired used their own weapons to chase and slash a man who appeared inexplicably until the other man tried every means to dissuade her. , and after trying to comfort her, the woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with some embarrassment, and then... turned her head and shouted.
"What are you looking at! Today's training will be extended for two hours!"
For a moment, wailing sounds filled the mountains and plains near the ruins.
