"Looking at your appearance, most of your equipment has not been changed for a long time. We are all teammates now, so you can take this equipment and use it first."
"No, no need. Most of them don't like it...well, no, I mean, these things may not be in line with them, so..."
"Then...why don't they come over and take a rest?"
"Maybe... maybe they are a little scared of strangers, and they are used to going out on patrol, hahahaha..."
In the early morning of January 2, 795 in the New Calendar, Duan Qing, who had temporarily packed his bags, was greeting each other with other players in the camp. While sorting out the information obtained last night, he was chatting with the Legend of Flame: "The people in our group are still there. Some teammates are still coming in this direction, so you don’t have to worry about our safety."
"You don't need to be so polite. We are now comrades-in-arms." Legend of Fire replied with a smile: "If you hadn't pulled me away from the battlefield before, I might still be on the way here from the rebirth point of Kalon Pass. Woolen cloth."
"How many teams are there like yours now?" Duan Qing raised his head: "Are they also active around Xifeng County?"
"There are not many teams now, and some of them have been scared away by the restorationists, but after the large coalition forces arrive, this place will definitely become more and more lively." Legend of Flame paused while packing up his luggage: " The war at that time may turn the entire Xifeng County into a battlefield, so the terrain survey work that we are currently doing will become very important..."
"This problem is easy to solve. Why don't you just find a local as a guide?" Duan Qing pointed around the camp: "Even if you don't consider the NPC issue, you can just find a player who was born in Xifeng County. Yes, not only Fenghua Town, but also Blue Mountain Village, Green Stone Village, and even Xifeng Town, as long as anyone has taken risks here..."
"Those people are very few now."
With a deep sigh, Legend of Lieyan put down the package he was packing, and his eyes that were originally full of smiles became much darker at this time: "Of course we have also tried this, but the people in Xifeng County The residents have long since fled with the invasion of the Restorers. Those players who relied on these NPCs to survive have no source of adventure and will naturally not continue to stay here. In the final analysis, the work we are currently doing It’s just voluntary labor for the principality. There are no tangible benefits in front of us, and few players will be willing to follow us here..."
"There is a lack of supplies from local residents, and it is too difficult to kill the restorers. This kind of place like a novice village... really can't keep people." After saying this, he sighed lightly: "The current situation has changed It's better than before, because the Restorationists have begun to restrain themselves. If they had fully occupied Xifeng County before... we idle teams wouldn't even be able to get in."
"The team that stays here..."
Looking back from the hazy wilderness still covered with snow in the distance, Duan Qing showed a strange smile again: "Since there are still resistance forces here, there must be players around them. As long as you find them, your problems may be solved. It can also be solved easily..."
"So we can go together!"
Patting his luggage, Legend of Flames laughed and stood up: "Since we have the same purpose, why don't we form a team? Anyway, I'm not sure about the positions I told you last night. !”
"...You still want to go look for it with us? No, no, it's not appropriate..."
"What's inappropriate? Once we're brothers, we'll all be brothers from now on! What's more, we already have a patrol mission, so it's okay to go look for it with you on the way..."
The shouts and shouts gradually echoed around the field as the team gradually spread their voices. Finally, they set off with the crowd who braved the cold weather, and Duan Qing, who had a wry smile on his face, had to stay behind in the end. He joined this team and followed the suggestion of Legend of Flames and slowly marched towards the predetermined destination. The cold snowy wind kept passing by the front and back of the team, driving away the wild beasts around them mercilessly like a guard. While demonstrating the growing momentum of the entire team, the bleak scene of the Fenghua Plain was gradually revealed. In front of everyone. Perhaps because they were used to such a scene, none of the players in the team moving towards the south side of Fenghua Town showed any discomfort. They were already carefree and relaxed their voices, loudly discussing the events of the last battle. Lieyan Legend, who had a cheerful face, also gestured with his arms and boasted to his teammates how awesome he was last night. It wasn't until Duan Qing, who had disappeared at some point, returned to him again that he He put away his proud smile: "...Why, are those two little girls still unwilling to show up?"
"Well... maybe it's because they are shy." Duan Qing, who walked back to the team, replied sheepishly: "Maybe I saw that there are mostly men here, so I am a little embarrassed."
"We are all brothers, how could we have such an idea?" The light in his eyes quickly disappeared, and Lieyan Legend, who kept laughing, slapped Duan Qing on the shoulder: "Listen to those sharp-eyed buddies before. Say, the two women you brought are very beautiful! Compared with them, our brothers should be ashamed of themselves... That's right! Do you want to introduce them to us? "
"Well... I'm not very familiar with them." Duan Qing scratched his cheek and replied: "One of them is a member of another guild, and he only occasionally acts with us..."
"...Forget it, since the opportunity between us has not come yet, there is nothing we can do." Turning the hilt of the sword in his hand, the voice of Legend of Flames also returned to its former calm: "Don't look at how desolate this place is now, this place is extremely desolate. This is not our world, and those Wings of Freedom people who like to grab territory may still be watching us from some corner of the Fenghua Plain."
"The player in charge of the investigation, I see that you have released a lot of them before. As long as they can withdraw in time when they encounter the enemy." Looking at the silver-white mountains in the distance, Duan Qing exhaled a breath of cold air: " Compared to you, we are more afraid of death now. Our resurrection point is not in the principality. If we die accidentally..."
"I heard that in the previous battle that took place in the City of Freedom, many players used the resurrection point to break into the city." Legend of Lieyan narrowed his eyes: "It can be seen that recording the resurrection point somewhere is a very important matter. It’s something learned.”
"I hope they can provide accommodation services when we find the hiding spots you mentioned." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "Otherwise..."
"After traveling so far, we have truly become homeless."
He raised his head and looked at the windy and snowy sky. The snow that had been falling for two days and two nights had no intention of stopping. It spread along the horizon of the wilderness to the end of the field of vision and broke out around the wind-flowered plain. As time went by, the battle gradually spread to other parts of Xifeng County, until at a certain moment, it once again affected Duan Qing and others in the form of encounters: "...There are enemies!"
"The Third Reich...are those new guys! Don't be afraid, hit their left side first!"
"There are also four to five teams on the other side, and we don't have the advantage in numbers..."
"Don't you dare to take action if you don't have the upper hand? Come on, don't lose your reputation as a laborer...little fish!"
The light of magic then appeared over the snowfield, turning the scattered sparks into fierce flames of war. The two teams, which were nearly full, quickly mixed together, forming a wild melee of fifty people. It seemed that he was afraid of the existence of a certain force. Duan Qing, who was among them, did not use his full strength to deal with the enemy. This also made the originally unsuspicious battle gradually become more complicated and confusing: "Protect Xiaoyu, don't let it happen again." She was disturbed!"
"Take that slope down! We want to be condescending!"
"Where's Lazy Cat? Why hasn't he...what? He's gone to the toilet?"
"Don't be so stubborn, do you understand if you go around and sneak up on them? Go around...forget it, they have already retreated..."
"That guy let me go!"
Being knocked behind his own camp by one of the opponent's shield players, Legend of Flames shouted in a high voice. His body that was shaking gradually disappeared behind the defense line of his teammates: "Where's the treatment? Hurry up and give me some help." Two mouthfuls!”
"I said... Captain Lieyan." She also retreated to his side, and then Duan Qing's voice sounded in a low voice: "We can't retreat anymore. Behind us is the Fengye Forest you mentioned. If someone from the other side is killed, Found this secret..."
"I know, I know." Enjoying the white light bathing himself, Legend of Fire sighed and replied: "But how the situation develops now... is not something we can have the final say on."
"... Do we need to move to the north?" Duan Qing hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "According to the message our group leader left before... they plan to go to Fenghua Town first, and then join us. of."
"...Fenghua Town?"
His eyes stayed on Duan Qing for a few seconds, and a puzzled expression appeared on Lieyan Legend's face: "You don't really think that the restorers have retreated from that place, and you think it is our territory? Just because The garrison and the Wings of Freedom guys they left behind are enough for us to drink a pot..."
"I don't want to go to that place either. The problem is...this is the leader's request." Duan Qing replied with a wry smile: "If we hadn't met you, we wouldn't even know how to get here safely..."
"...What is the name of your adventure group?"
Legend of Flames, who seemed to have made up his mind and stared at Duan Qing for a long time, finally gave up his entanglement with the other party. Then in the middle of this fierce battlefield, he calmly asked what he had always wanted to ask: "Last night. I already asked when I was here, but you just refused to say..."
"You are not spies sent by Wings of Freedom, are you?"
The explosion flames that lit up again in front illuminated the faces of the two people looking at each other, and then gradually returned to each other's darkness in the fading light and shadow: "How... is it possible? We are..."
"I've been to Starwind Plain before, and naturally I've also been to that seaside city."
Interrupting Duan Qing's subconscious words in a low voice, Legend of Fire's expression completely lost the cheerfulness before, replaced by a shrewd expression and sharp eyes gradually revealed: "In my impression, There is no one like you in every gang there. I also checked their battle reports on major forums last night, and the words "Moshang Qingshan" have never appeared there..."
"Are you from the City of Freedom?" The corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "This self-introduction... was false from the beginning, right?"
"..."
"And during this period of time together... you have been inquiring about information about various areas in Fenghua Town."
Before the silent Duan Qing could answer, Legend of Flames spoke again: "Not only did he name several important NPC characters, but he also wanted to find out where they were. At such a critical moment, he actually wanted to instigate them. Let’s go north to Fenghua Town…”
"It does sound very similar to that." Duan Qing seemed to finally have some reaction, and nodded expressionlessly: "I was a little too hasty."
"So...you admit it?" His right hand slowly rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, Legend of Lieyan's face darkened: "In order to eliminate this possibility, I forcefully made a request to act with you. , I thought you would hide for a few more days, but I didn’t expect you to lose your composure so quickly..."
"Give you a chance, leave here now." He ignored the fierce fighting around him and walked up to Duan Qing with a serious expression: "Otherwise..."
boom!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air immediately sounded in the center of the battlefield, not far from the two people. However, this ear-piercing scream did not come from either of the two people, but from the one between them. The sword energy, which was as thick as a big tree, passed over the head of the room and then pierced the already tense battlefield atmosphere. It fell far away into the crowd of players who were fighting fiercely, and screams came from both sides. The sound then flew away in their respective directions together with the exploding snow.
"Varied……"
"So many adventurers...it looks very lively."
As the surrounding players hurriedly turned around and looked back, the figure of an uncle wearing a tattered windbreaker gradually appeared at the other end of the sword energy trajectory, and then in the gazes of Duan Qing and Lie Yan Legend, Step by step out of the forest: "Such energetic guys..."
"Are you interested... in setting up an adventure group in Fenghua Town?"
