"You are finally here, my friends."
At the same moment, near the West Gate of the City of Freedom, several guys who looked like players pushed open the door of the carriage they had just arrived in, and jumped into the crowd of people who were running back and forth in the streets and alleys, but there were still people greeting the members. : "I've been waiting for a long time."
"If it weren't for the incident you caused, we wouldn't have waited until now to come."
Lifting up the huge shield behind him, the big shield warrior named Cangyun Barrier then looked along the direction of the street at the magic armor that was still raging around and the layers of black clouds roaring in front: "Of course , we only heard about your action plan to make a big fuss here later, so you and your eldest sister probably won’t care about being late.”
"I can't say for sure."
Shaking his head, a certain bald knight player who came to greet him had a subtle smile on his face: "In name, we all have the final say, but in fact, we are all listening to whose orders we are now. , as President Arashiyama, you should also know very well - if you want to find something to say, you should go talk to her."
"Hmph, it sounds like we will be afraid of her." With a cold snort, Cangyun Barrier tugged hard on the collar button of his armor that seemed to be too tight: "The eldest son of the Lou family has long been abandoned. A former professional player who also disappeared for three years because of cowardice - if it weren't for the fact that she had some kind of friendship with her man, do you think I would ignore her... Huh?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The hilarious sound then appeared after the hesitant sounds of recognition and footsteps. The deliberately magnified and unrestrained smile also attracted the attention of the running players involuntarily. The figure of the bald knight who was almost startled was originally walking in front. Then he turned around hurriedly, and what he saw was the big shield warrior holding his stomach and pointing in front of him: "This, isn't this Boss Duan? Hahahahahaha! What's wrong with you? You have it too. When you die?"
"……It is you."
Duan Fenglei, who was getting used to his physical condition after being reborn, squeezed his wrist hard and said, "I don't know who is so brave enough to say this in broad daylight." I laughed so hard that I didn’t expect it to be you, a late deserter.”
"What? Can't I just laugh?" He still didn't stop patting his stomach hard. Cangyun Barrier's tears seemed to have flowed down his slightly gray hair and laughed out a few: "The boss of the dignified world, The once all-powerful head of the Long family actually dies at the hands of NPCs now? This is simply a huge anecdote, a huge anecdote!"
"The boss of Jianghu and the head of the Long family cannot be used as shields and avoidance of death. They still have to surrender their lives when it's time to surrender." He said with a nonchalant expression that he had just been injured everywhere due to the fierce battle, but now he was Those body parts were intact as before, and Duan Fenglei's expression, which did not accept the other party's ridicule and provocation, remained as calm as ever: "What's more -"
"The battle in front of us is not a place where old guys like us can't die just because we can't."
He threw away his arms and at the same time cast his solemn gaze towards the center of the energy storm that was still blowing over the city square in the distance. At this time, dazzling lightning was also falling all around. The dark clouds spread, and the electric light that vaguely extended towards the horizon turned back even more strangely at the next moment: "It seems to have become more serious, the erosion of this other world..."
"Okay, okay, let me listen to your spiel first." He temporarily put away his exaggerated laughter, and then the big shield warrior named Cangyun Barrier also set his sights on the sword light and magic penetration. In the airspace passing through the black clouds: "What is the origin of the BOSS you are targeting this time?"
"Stop pretending to me, you guy. You should also know some inside stories." Waved in the direction of the bald knight in front, Duan Fenglei took the lead and ran towards the battlefield where he had been fighting for a day and a night: "I I’ve heard about what happened in Tania, the capital of the principality, and I heard that something similar to Redkar, the capital of the empire, happened in that place that I haven’t bothered to manage in the past two days... Ha.”
"It seems that you can be regarded as a veteran adventurer who has experienced two battles." Without any regard for the opponent's ability to keep up with his footsteps, this boxer who looked equally experienced began to fight. Running at a high speed: "You should be very clear about the origins of the instigators behind this change and the enemies raging here."
"Hey." He let out a cold snort of disdain, and the steps of Cangyun Barrier also passed the surprised sight of countless players: "So you are now lacking a hard worker to fight monsters, right?"
"Normal shield warriors simply cannot last several rounds in such a battle situation." He was answered by the voice of Duan Feng Lei in front of him without looking back: "The opponents this time come from different dimensions, and the laws of their world are different from ours. The laws currently used in the free world are all different, and I'm worried that even if you represent the highest level of shield warrior, your final fate will be the same as them."
"Don't do this to me, I won't be fooled by you." The load that was much higher than that of ordinary people made the shield warrior's footsteps particularly clear on the street, and at the same time, his voice became Much higher than others: "I won't brag foolishly until I see the real situation. Otherwise, if I am hanged back in such a humiliating way like you, I won't know where to go in terms of face." Where to put it!"
"As you wish." Instead of continuing to use cynicism as before, Duan Fenglei's figure then disappeared between the darkness that was getting closer to the energy storm and lightning: "Anyway, I have reminded you of everything that should be reminded. Considering that you are more I’m still a little older—”
"Of course I won't force myself on you, Comrade Han Sanshi."
The cold wind suddenly became much fiercer in the next moment, and at the same time, it also submerged the running figures of a group of people who were advancing at high speed. The Duanfeng Lei in front suddenly sounded a loud shout, followed by the collision of metal. The clanging sound unique to time came from far in front of the battlefield where the vision was blurred. The suddenly widening position and distance made Cangyun Barrier's vigilance become more obvious. Then an abnormally bright lightning flashed on the surface of the raised shield, and the sweet shout from the lightning followed. Along with the floating long blue hair, it swept down from the surface of the big shield in Cangyun Barrier's hand, and echoed with a melodious and clear sound: "Drink!"
"stop!"
Instead of following up with a shield attack as usual, Cang Yun Barrier, who was holding a large shield with both hands, quickly identified the identity of the player with long blue hair: "Whispering? Why are you——"
"Next time, remember to cover up your figure, otherwise you will be mistaken for a member of the magic armor." He breathed a sigh of relief, and his figure and face were full of battle scars, and then he also put away himself Hua Yan Long Sword: "Also - why did you come just now?"
"It's not me who has the final say on my figure, and those magic armors over there are so big, so they shouldn't be indistinguishable, right?" He said this angrily, and Cangyun Barrier's gaze followed. He also turned from the blue-haired swordswoman in front of him to the surroundings of the storm that kept making sounds of fighting: "As for the itinerary... You also know Tania's current situation. We are members of the empire, no matter where we stand. Whether it’s the empire’s standpoint or the principality’s, this trip is full of obstacles and worries from countless people.”
"Fortunately, Her Royal Highness finally nodded in agreement." He grinned at the other party, and at the same time blocked an attack from an unknown place in the distance with a shield and flew into the air: "The railway is impassable, so I had to borrow it later. Got a carriage."
"Who told you not to participate in the first place? Otherwise, we might be able to use the same teleportation resources to send you here together." His attention turned to the surroundings of the battlefield, and his brows were still wrinkled little by little: "Now the battle The situation has entered a stalemate period, and the addition of one or two top professional players can no longer make a big difference... How many of you have come in total?"
"Zhao Liu'an still needs to stay in Tania to take charge of other affairs, so there are only a few brothers with free time." After saying these words that made people want to disappear, Cangyun Barrier slammed the big shield in his hand against the one in front of him. On the ground: "Why, are you looking down on my old bones? Let me remove all those shield warriors. It's enough for me to stand here alone."
"Now is not the time to show off." He frowned more and more, pointing to the storm that was still raging around him and saying: "The laws here have been integrated with the laws of reality, and the combat perception of many players has been eroded. It’s disturbed by the sense of distance and the illusion of distance! Before we find a way to crack it, we can only——”
"I see. Is this why you recognized me wrong?"
He said this in a low voice, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on Cangyun Barrier's face, which was nailed to the spot: "Hmph, hehehe, even though so much time has passed, that guy is still the same as before. , it’s a perfect strategy at such a critical time.”
"...that guy?"
"Yes, that's the guy."
Looking at the black energy storm that kept flying in front of him and the bizarre scenes that vaguely appeared from the depths of the storm, Cangyun Barrier took out a magic rune hidden in it from the inside of the upright shield: "This thing The guy left it with Princess Reina and handed it to me before he left. He said it was something that 'seems to be of little use, but will actually produce miraculous effects at critical moments'... bmph."
"I originally thought this guy was making a subtle mockery of me, who only knows how to use a shield and nothing else."
Like a solid barrier standing in the storm, he held the shield in a defensive posture and then raised the magic rune in his hand high: "I didn't expect that in the end it would be a 'stolen' that had been clearly arranged."
The purple threads began to flow along the surface of the runes, and finally gradually turned into strange and brilliant magic symbols among the black storms. These symbols that were deeply reflected in Xu Yu Liushang's eyes were then moved by some inexplicable power. Under the influence, they were rearranged and combined, and finally transformed into a black hole that was deeper than the surrounding black energy, stretching towards the sky above the battlefield around the square.
*******************************
"Okay, okay, let's divide the spoils."
The faint sunshine slowly rose again at the eastern end of the train as it continued to extend forward, and even the sounds in the carriage began to become full of life again. Asahi Dongsheng, who had regained his energy from the previous rest, also took the lead. He jumped to the left and right of everyone, and at the same time unfolded the package that had never been touched behind him: "You have already arrived at this place, you shouldn't be afraid of being seen by others, right?"
"It's not that I'm afraid of being seen by others, it's that I'm afraid of being robbed by others." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who slowly woke up from sleep and shook his head, sounded a little weak at this time: "After all, they are all unequipped equipment. , if someone accidentally discovers and snatches it away during the battle, it’s really hard to say about the ownership... Why are there so few?"
"Nonsense, haven't we held a combat meeting before?" Pointing to several things gradually revealed in the package, Asahi Dongsheng's expression became a bit more reasonable: "In order to fight with the world's second largest industry, They negotiated terms and allowed them to work and contribute in the previous battle, but we paid a very painful price! Letting me give away the things here is even more uncomfortable than killing me! "
"Come on, I've never seen you feel so distressed when I delivered it before." He also opened his own package, and Gedman's eyes were full of contempt at this time: "I remember someone also said 'The battle after that may be fierce, so we need to get rid of all the bulky things first' and the like..."
"This, this is of course!" Asahi Dongsheng stood up with his hands on his waist, and the pained expression on his face instantly disappeared: "It's all selling anyway, isn't it the same no matter what you sell? "
"As long as you don't take advantage of this opportunity to embezzle it." He snorted mercilessly, and Gedman, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, also threw his shield aside: "The best way is to Check your results with the list of weapons and equipment assigned to everyone at the beginning. I am not afraid of checking anyway... Hello."
"That one over there, don't you have the list in your hand?" He tilted his head and his eyes fell on Duan Qing, who looked dull next to him: "Don't be in a daze, it's your turn."
"Ah? Oh." Duan Qing, who seemed to have just woken up from the pull of Xue Ling Huan Bing, looked towards the west behind him and then replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, although everyone is not completely here yet - —”
"Let's start dividing the spoils first."
