Boom!
Loud explosions echoed in the wilderness outside the Thebilis Castle, accompanied by the sight of orange-red colors unique to magic flames rising up with rubble all over the sky, and faint shouts of killing. The sound also echoed in the sky above the wilderness along with the billowing smoke, intertwined with the countless sword energy flying around. His eyes were withdrawn from the chaotic battle in front of him. The figure belonging to the colorful aura then retreated to the huge wind rock on the other side of the wilderness with several players. He opened the adventurer map and kept looking at it. He looked around the area with himself as the center point, and finally stopped in front of a high cliff near his right side: "Probably..."
"This is it."
Following the traces drawn by his fingers, two more bright fireballs passed through his field of vision in a swinging arc, and two staggered explosions immediately rose at the forefront of the cliff. The zone turned into a sky full of fire with the screams of several players: "You, you can actually discover my ambush?"
"Don't belittle my intelligence. Anyone can do such a probing attack."
Looking at the leader of another team of players who was shouting not far away from him, Colorful Emmanuel turned around and let out two deep laughs: "After all, there are only a few people in this place who can ambush people." Even if there is no one there, we will throw two fireballs there to try."
"Hey." Then the player named Sanshanliangduan could only sigh helplessly: "So you guy..."
"You and I are not the same kind of people at all, why are we still fighting here?"
"Everyone has the opportunity to develop tactical literacy."
Commanding several people around him to rush to the other side of the battlefield, Colorful Spiritual Light turned around and showed his smile again: "If I didn't have a few more powerful magicians under my hands, I wouldn't be able to carry out the long-range bombing. It’s applied so quickly.”
"What, how many more times do you want to be humble?" Sanshan Liangduan, who was confronting him, shouted again: "My people are about to be killed by you, do you still want that old face?"
"Why, you only have so many people in the Ax Gang?" Colorful Spiritual Light, who was pointed at the nose, replied nonchalantly: "Except for the group coming from the left rear, the group coming from Cotan Avenue, and the people on the cliff Besides the ambush, you should have other viable forces, right?"
"After all, this is not our territory. How can we bring everyone from the Ax Gang here?"
After muttering these words in a low voice, Sanshan Liangduan then moved his gaze to the direction of the battlefield where the swords and figures were shining: "But... we did prepare some back-ups."
"For example - the Allies."
Ruoyouruowu's shouts of killing then reappeared in the northeast of the battlefield, with a large surging crowd quickly approaching the location of the two warring parties, condensing exploratory firepower such as fireballs, ice arrows, and bow arrows. As the distance between the two groups of figures narrowed, they began to appear in each other's air. Some even landed scatteredly in front of the colorful streamer: "...They are people from the Holy Crystal Alliance."
"What about the promised cooperation?"
Looking at the three intertwined crystal symbols on the chests of those people, Qicai Lingguang sighed heavily: "You are overdrafting the trust that has been hard-earned between our gangs."
"Although I don't know if there are any other agreements between you and that Psalm, when we talked about the Castle of Tbilisi, we encountered almost no obstacles." He crossed his arms, representing the axe. The player who was helping grinned and raised the long sword in his hand: "We all agreed to kill you first, and then divide the rest equally."
"... Are our Red Lotus Gang so hated by people now?"
Slowly closing his eyes, Qicai Lingguang, who had been silent for a while, sighed in a low voice: "Even if it was because of the previous incident of snatching the test, we should have given you many other benefits later... …”
"Of course the reason is not just this little bit."
Gradually raising the corner of his mouth, Sanshan Liangduan, who was approaching with an axe, let out an inexplicable low laugh again: "If Kaobelli Mountain gives in, we will give in. We don't have any big objections. As for the The territory that was voluntarily given up later was probably because you were unable to bear it on your own."
"The crux of the problem is that you are still a group of outsiders after all." He pointed to the east behind him, where a large number of player troops were about to surround him: "I personally admire you for being able to build a world with your own hands. But if a carp like you jumps in, we in muddy waters may not be able to afford it in the future."
"So you want to use this action to completely eliminate us?"
"Yes, I hope you can understand."
Pointing with his thumb up at the outline of the Thebilis Castle that loomed behind him, the warrior carrying the axe laughed several times: "This operation is a task directly sent from above. Our family Everyone who comes here has heard about it, no matter how many benefits it offers, just the extension of this territory is not something that we people can refuse."
"I understand." After appeasing the increasingly restless members of his side behind him, Qicai Lingguang's expression became a bit colder: "This is also one of the reasons for ostracizing us, right?"
"That's right, you are the only ones without an imperial backing."
He clapped his hands, and a large number of flags rising on the far horizon began to appear behind the player who was speaking: "Only 'nobles' can participate in this banquet, how can we let you group of helpless people go?" Where are the damn guys coming in?"
"...Nanshan Sect." Looking at the symbol of a golden mountain range highlighted on those banners, Qicai Lingguang spat out: "Well, in the final analysis, they are just bullying us for not having resources... Aren't you afraid of attracting the empire's attention? "
"We won't tell you about the future battlefield situation and profit distribution. This person is about to be eliminated."
Raising his hands, the leader of the Ax Gang named Sanshanliangduan finally swung his long sword with his fangs exposed: "Go back to your mountain. We will see you in the next round."
"Boss, what should we do?" Looking at the figures of countless players who were surrounded from three sides getting closer and closer, the braised dog meat standing behind Qicai Lingguang said urgently: "All the brothers in front are also dead. Let’s just fight them!”
"Don't worry."
He raised his hand slightly, and the colorful aura seemed to notice something, but then he showed a strange smile: "Let our brothers retreat first and retreat to the cliff in an orderly manner."
"But that's a dead end over there!"
"We're not really trying to run."
Facing the billowing smoke and dust composed of hundreds of players, Colorful Spiritual Light, which suppressed everyone and kept retreating, opened his arms: "Look, they came from three places, are they standing?" It’s a little…well, too scattered?”
"Since they dare to underestimate our background, they must be taught a lesson."
With his words, a loud whistling sound suddenly appeared between the two groups of people with disparity in strength who were about to collide and converge. Accompanying it was a bright and thick huge pillar of fire that rose out of the air. The flame cylinder, with countless red light bands wrapped around it, suddenly split into two halves to the left and right along the arms spread out by the colorful spiritual light. The miraculous light pillar then turned into smaller triangular pillars along with the crowds who were blown away by the flames, and then bloomed again into more tiny flame fragments under the control of powerful magic power, standing on the same spot. The only member of the Red Lotus Gang who was not harmed by the flame pillar then raised his head and shifted his gaze from his gang leader to a girl's scream that suddenly sounded above the cliff.
"Red Lotus Judgment!"
*******************************
"...Did you feel the vibration on the ground?"
At the same moment, in a tavern in Tbilisi Castle in the free world, Duan Qing, who was holding a wine glass, suddenly raised his head and looked up from the swaying wine in front of him: "Is it somewhere else? There was an explosion?"
"The Castle of Thebilis is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone to make trouble here - you were the one who said this before." Chao Ri Dongsheng on the side replied with a look of contempt on his face: "Why, where are you going without fear of death? Are you there to join in the fun caused by these people?"
"Well, we really don't have that position now." So Duan Qing also withdrew his gaze: "Let's continue the previous topic... Where did we talk about it before?"
"The Kangqiao Gang is not an elite guild. It is more appropriate to describe them as the gang you often talk about." Gedman, who was mentioned, also put down his glass: "It is precisely because of this , they also have a better understanding of the flow and direction of other gangs.”
"Shortly after we arrived here, several gang members seemed to have appeared near the castle." Having said this, he gestured towards the door of the small tavern: "They seem to want to enter the city. .”
"Going into the city? What's wrong with going into the city?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "When ordinary players enter the city, can they find any faults?"
"Of course there is no problem for ordinary players, but they are not ordinary players." Gedman curled his lips and replied: "Do you think there is no price for doing this? If you rob families outside every day and get something for nothing, you will definitely be punished. The Imperials treat him as a criminal."
"A bunch of guys with a bad reputation."
Spreading his hands towards Duan Qing, Asahi Dongsheng, who also looked helpless, also lowered his voice and commented: "Not to mention that the official will want them, the normal player group will also want them. What we see now in these cities The gang members are just the result of their collusion with the local NPC forces."
"They have finally climbed to the point where they can get away with it in the city. How can they give up their territory to others at will?" Gedman pinched his chin and continued: "As long as there are players from other gangs nearby, hostility will definitely be the first. It was put on the table at once.”
"It's a showdown between evil parties." Duan Qing nodded in agreement: "Those people from the Kangqiao Gang... Since they are so nervous, they must have discovered something that is very detrimental to them. Bar?"
"It's not just a gang that's coming - under normal circumstances, this is a sign that they want to encroach on the gang's territory." After drinking all the wine in the glass, Goldman put down the hand holding the glass: " I don’t know how many people came this time, and the target is most likely the Castle of Tbilisi and the local dark forces of players. Although I don’t know where they got the courage to do such a thing, the preparations here have already been made. alright."
"Are there any other gangs?"
"Of course there is a similar distribution of underground forces in The Tbilisi Province, but only the Kangqiao Gang occupies this castle." Asahi Dongsheng curled his lips nonchalantly: "As for the specific situation...how do you have the nerve to ask? Exit? Aren’t you an old player who is known as The Castle of Thebilis?”
"So you told me not to always ask me such super-standard questions." Duan Qing had two drops of cold sweat on his face: "Instead of counting on a guy like me, it would be more appropriate to ask Mr. Goldman."
"Well... they did realize that we are also tracking the whereabouts of certain people." Gedman showed a recalling expression: "Although the background of the Minister of Transportation that we are currently employed by has not been sold, but..."
"If the identity of the assassin is related to these gang members, then cooperation between us will be easy to achieve."
The atmosphere began to become silent as these words appeared, and gradually spread among the wine tables in the corner of this small tavern. Duan Qing, who had his hands folded on his chest, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally led Looking at the other two people's attention, he raised his head again: "That person's name...I remember it was called Yu Chen, right? He was an unknown figure who used to belong to my old enemy Chihun, and later relied on Using his knife-throwing skills, he made it all the way to the offline finals of the League Cup..."
"When you said that, I seem to have some impression." Goldman's eyes lit up: "It turns out it's him."
"That's certainly not certain."
Looking at the crowd outside the tavern that seemed to be moving faster, Duan Qing's voice became deeper: "We are just making random guesses based on the accident that happened last night. There is no reason or basis at all..."
"No, there is now."
A cold voice then appeared in the ears of several people, and along with it, a figure with long white hair belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing quietly appeared at their drinking table. She didn't know where she went, and she scratched herself. The white novice uniform was pressed down, and then a circular emblem engraved with wings was placed in front of them. 8)
