"The strength is good."
On the night of March 28, 796 of the New Calendar, in the rain curtain in the city above Tania, the shield warrior named Cangyun Barrier then put away the large shield in his hand and looked at it with a scrutinizing gaze. Looking at the handsome swordsman dressed in cloth robes in front of him, he said: "No wonder he can dominate the world. It turns out that he is really a bit weak."
"It's an honor for us to be valued so much by the President of Lanshan." He answered the other party's words in a normal voice, but the smile on Lou Tingyu's face, who was standing with his sword across the sword, was still full of obvious pride: "Of course, If Lan Shan can just retreat and leave this place with the empire, our gratitude will be even more overwhelming."
"Retreat? Impossible." Putting the big shield in his hand heavily on the ground, Cangyun Barrier then gave a thumbs up in the direction of the fierce battle behind him: "Thousands of brothers They are all dead, and even if it is counted as a sunk cost, I have no reason to give up at this time."
"Speaking of which, what is your purpose in Lanshan?" The sword in his hand made a beautiful sword flower, and the player named Lou Tingyu then dispatched the members of the congregation who came behind him to increase their numbers in other directions. : "You don't really think that you guys can break through our defenses and knock Tania down with your strength alone?"
"I admit that this idea is a little too fanciful."
After scratching his head, Cangyun Barrier looked towards the city of Tania surrounded by deep rain and darkness: "Although it is not as magnificent as Redcar, such a large city, as a It’s impressive enough for the capital of a principality.”
"We only came with nearly 20% of the people this time. It is impossible to compete with a city with a population of one million." He grinned when he said this, and his burly figure showed his calmness. "This time's action is just that we follow the order of Princess Rena and cooperate with the investigation team."
"Cooperate with the investigation team's actions?" The heat wrapped around the sword blade in his hand finally dropped with the temporary cessation of the fight. Lou Tingyu, who spread his hands, tentatively asked his question: "But the investigation team simply did not There is no action, they are just watching from behind your back as you come to die."
"I can't answer this question for you." Putting away the smile on his face, Cangyun Barrier raised his shield again: "Want to know what our purpose is?"
"Let's ask about the shield in my hand first!"
A muffled sound that was different from the previous sound of metal collisions then appeared in the corners of this street, and was soon submerged in the fierce battlefield that took place near the southern gate of Tania. The scene of sword blades and shields colliding together was also heard. It didn't produce any brilliant light, and it didn't look as fierce as the battlefield next to it, which was intertwined with magic and the roar of the principality soldiers. The staggered steps followed by the staggered bodies slowly separated towards the two sides of the muffled sound. What followed was a deliberately suppressed shout, and the seemingly ordinary long sword in Lou Tingyu's hand. Then a brilliant light shone in the dim streets and alleys, and the sword slash that turned back and crossed also had a faint red feeling: "Storm of wind and rain!"
The incessant sound of clanging clangs then appeared on the surface of the large shield raised by Cangyun Barrier. What seemed like a red slash also sent out the continuous effect produced when multiple attacks hit. The superimposed force state then A deep mark was also left in the center of the shield of Cangyun Barrier, pushing the seemingly rock-solid shield warrior back: "...What?"
"Stormy storm!"
Another loud shout appeared in front of Cangyun Barrier, accompanied by Lou Tingyu who stepped forward and raised his long sword again. The sword energy like mist and rain also appeared in front of Cangyun Barrier. A series of thin needles were formed pointing at him, reflecting the mid-air on one side of the alley into a neon red like haze: "Are you surprised or surprised? Your Excellency, the president of Lanshan?"
"Sword energy like rain..."
The red mist and rain instantly fell in front of Cangyun Barrier, making an incessant knocking sound on the surface of his shield and armor. The big shield warrior, who was unable to block all attack points with his shield, could only watch his blood bleed. The amount of energy slowly decreased, and at the same time he whispered in a shocked tone: "Even in the age of masters, this kind of sword energy use skills cannot be realized in the free world."
"That's right! This is my trump card!" The drizzle composed of sword energy began to slow down gradually, and Lou Tingyu, who pointed his sword straight ahead with one hand, laughed louder and louder: "If even this If we don't know these 'secrets', how can we be among the top clubs in the league?"
"It's hard to say whether the 'League's First Popular Club' is a popular club, but the 'secret' you know is definitely not a good thing." Cangyun slowly stood up with his body oozing with blood. Barrier's voice was full of sighs: "Otherwise, if you look at the rivers and lakes next to you, they don't even care about Tania's life or death."
"Hey, hey, don't get involved with us." A faint shout came from far away from the battlefield in this alley. Five Elements Quetu standing there then waved away the dust that spread around him with a smile: "What means you are willing to use to fight is your business and has nothing to do with the current position of our world."
"Hmph, these people can only watch the show now, and they don't have the courage to compete with us head-on." Looking at Wuxing Quetu's face with disdain, Lou Tingyu also threw aside his raised sword: "After this war, we will definitely transcend the status of Jianghu and become the largest guild in the principality."
"Hmph, the ambition is not small." He gestured towards the back, and Cangyun Barrier's burly figure once again assumed a fighting posture: "But even if you can use skills that are not of this world, can you achieve the final victory?" Victory is not yet certain.”
"Ha, you mean, how many more rounds can you continue to withstand my 'Guan Yu Sword'?" Lou Tingyu laughed loudly: "Stop dreaming, this is an indiscriminate attack, even if No matter how tightly defended the shield warrior is, it is impossible to prevent all injuries!"
"The scattered sword energy will inevitably lead to a reduction in attack power. Although my size has also become a weakness, it has not prevented me from using my defense power to survive these rounds." Shaking his head, Cangyun Barrier began Walking forward unswervingly: "And -"
"How can a person with my personality choose a death-defying strategy like being a coward?"
He grinned and tilted his body slightly. A magic arrow shining with emerald green light also cut through the darkness behind him and shot straight in the direction of Lou Tingyu. past. The next sword move he wanted to launch stopped in mid-air. The disdain on his face had not completely disappeared. Lou Tingyu then hurriedly made an emergency evasive move, and struck with a shield, which was like a mountain. His momentum directly hit the swordsman player who was still dodging: "If you choose to dodge, don't let me guess the direction of dodge so easily!"
"……hateful."
The rolling movement then appeared deep in the alley where the swordsman's body was blown away. Along with it, he raised his head and cursed: "You actually carried out a sneak attack? We agreed to fight one on one. ?”
"Who has made such an agreement with you?" Patting his shield, Cangyun Barrier moved towards the direction where the opponent was falling: "This is a battlefield. There are no rules such as alliance competitions. If you want to win The final victory, of course, must be achieved by any means necessary.”
"...Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Wiping the blood from his flattened nose, Lou Tingyu's eyes became fierce: "I also have support."
"Here comes the arrow!"
He let out a loud roar, and then sent two arrows that appeared in the darkness to the front of Cangyun Barrier along the fingers he pointed out. The latter, who reacted quickly, also hurriedly blocked the big shield he raised. The front of these two arrows made a strong vibration in the air like gold and iron. The magic support attack from the side of Arashiyama quickly found the direction of the source of the two arrows, and used three or two intertwined wind arrows to suddenly shoot towards the roof of a house deep in Tania City. After falling, Lou Tingyu raised his sword again and condensed a fine red light again. The next scattered red light he wanted to wield was interrupted by the suddenly enlarged shield: "Wind and rain in all directions—— "
"Don't always shout the name of a move if it's not necessary."
The enlarged shield shone with strong resonance in front of Lou Tingyu, and finally condensed into a shield-shaped strong wind that knocked him away. It created cracks on the ground under his feet and then continued to move forward. Holding the shield with both hands, he hit the swordsman player who was rolling backwards hard: "Even a delay of tenths of a second may cause the skill release to fail."
"Attack?"
Lou Tingyu, who dodged the shield hit with one hand on the ground and rolled further away, covered the blood at the corner of his mouth and commented in a low voice: "Based on your status as a shield warrior, what qualifications do you have to fight with me?" Soldiers attack?"
"It comes from confidence and experience."
His eyes then flashed again the appearance of the shield growing from small to large, and the iron fist waved by Cangyun Barrier with a smile: "Compared with your strength, your experience is obviously insufficient."
"As long as I don't make unnecessary moves, it's more than enough to catch up with a swordsman like you."
boom!
Another dull collision echoed around the streets. Lou Tingyu, who was hit by the fist in front of the door, was "forced" to roll further this time, and his uncontrollable body was also on the ground. It left a deep trace, and after a while, the swordsman player got up again with the frustrated voice: "You...you——!"
"Feng Tian!" He looked at the arrows that were piercing the sky in the fierce battle with magic behind him, and then shouted in the direction of the source of those arrows: "Stop getting entangled with those guys! Support me quickly. one time!"
"President!"
A loud report replaced the answer of the archer who was hiding somewhere. Along with it, there was a figure of a player belonging to Tingyu Tower who hurriedly ran from the back of the street: "President, President!"
"The person I'm calling is Fentian, not you." Lou Tingyu, who tidied up his messy clothes and maintained his master's demeanor, then turned his head away from his arrogance and said, "Why did you come here to join in the fun?"
"Um, um... I have something urgent to report." Looking at the burly figure in front of the Cangyun Barrier that had not launched another attack in the distance, the player shrank his head: "The following was just transmitted News came in that they encountered some...situations."
"That Spartacus appears again."
*********************************
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Looking at the large number of players approaching and their expressions gradually emerging from the darkness, Duan Qing turned around and asked speechlessly: "Looking at the current situation, I think we are their target. .”
"They are all people from Tingyulou." Spartak, who twisted his fists and stepped forward, blocked Duan Qing and Yataniao behind him: "The relationship between me and them is also considered There are some festivals that have been entangled with me since the past few days, and I secretly followed them into this mysterious place."
"They have known about this place for a long time?" Duan Qing's surprised eyes widened again: "How is it possible? Could it be that they, Pa... and the mastermind behind the scenes have a behind-the-scenes deal?"
"I don't know that yet." Shaking his head, Spartak's shiny bald head then shone in the magic light that was gradually rising in front: "I followed them here -"
"It's also to investigate this matter."
A loud shout then appeared in the air between him and the group of players. Along with a suddenly aroused fist, it was erected in front of the passage near Duan Qing. The invisible wall formed by the powerful fist also followed. It became a solid shield on Duan Qing's side, blocking all the first round of long-range attacks from the other side of the passage: "Quickly move!"
"Huh? I thought you wanted to have another round with them."
"They sent a lot of people here, so there should be no point in continuing to entangle them." Keeping his hands moving forward and taking a few steps sideways, Spartak said without looking back: "Your enemies are also behind you. They You never know when it will come."
"Then where should we go?" Duan Qing rolled his eyes: "There are people in front and behind the passage, so we can't find an exit by ourselves... eh."
He closed his mouth, and then looked to the side and ahead along a finger raised by Spartak. The inconspicuous dark pipe hanging at the top of the passage was also being violently intertwined with the strong wind and magic. The iron plate covering the surface was broken, and the dark hole appeared vaguely in front of them.
