"Really, I didn't expect the banquet to end so soon."
As the crowd of players retreated like a tide, they continued to pass through the dark void. The figure of a certain swordsman man who was fighting with people near the portal gradually became clearer as the tide of players receded. With the long sword in hand, he followed the people belonging to the City of Freedom who kept emerging from the portal, and kept retreating towards the depths of the Void Library, taking a distant look, and finally with a somewhat relaxed smile, he faced the place where he had been before. The sword player who was fighting with him and had just separated from him said: "It's getting late, young man, you should have had enough fun."
"It's time to go home and rest." In the scene where the vertical and horizontal sword energy blocked the slashing light of a big sword, he yawned loudly in the direction of the panting big sword player: "Even if you're not tired, I'm almost tired of playing."
"Hmph, I'm obviously the winner." The sword player, who was trying hard to control his breathing and didn't want to show any embarrassment, puffed up his chest with a sneer on his face: "It's obviously me who killed you, this old immortal. The main combatants have been dragged here so that the battle at Tyran Tower has nothing to do with you. My goal and role have been achieved! Jian Beidong!"
"Haha, what a brat." Jian Beidong, who picked up his own sword and looked at the opponent sideways, couldn't help but chuckle: "Well, since you think you did a good job, then treat it like you It’s a great victory, boy of the Chu family.”
"When you get back, remember to hold a celebration party and announce your name."
He turned his body sideways, and his squinting gaze gradually disappeared in the movement of turning around: "You can write battle reports and military exploits as you like. You can even consider writing the news of 'defeating' me in the battle report. , just say, 'The big shot who once dominated the professional world lost to the rising star of the Chu family' - well, how about it, is this title exciting enough?"
"What on earth are you planning?" Sensing something unusual from the other party's reaction, the young warrior restrained his sneer and stared closely at the other party's figure who was about to leave: "The joint army of the old guilds rarely appears in front of others. You...don't you gather here this time to capture the Tower of Tyran?"
"It seems that you still need to do more homework, little guy." The figure leaving with the wave of players paused for a moment, and then the swordsman named Jian Beidong made a sigh-like sound: "If you really If you want to grow up, I can give you some advice."
“You can start by understanding the situation.”
He left these last words, and his back that gradually moved forward disappeared into the crowd that was still flooding the place. The tired sight of a large number of players who were retreating in an orderly manner could not be far away. As the remnants of the Magic Empire who stayed in place passed by, the vague anger and hatred quickly disappeared in the footsteps of their respective retreats. Wrinkling his nose and looking at the direction where these people disappeared, the great sword warrior who was stranded in the same place finally put away his cold eyes. He ignored some of the defeated soldiers of the Magic Empire who still remained in the same place, and turned to teleport. The other side of the door walked over: "Every day, I know how to exaggerate and use these mysterious methods to scare me... Hey, you guys!"
"Why don't you continue chasing?" He looked at the large number of subordinates of the Magic Empire appearing on the other side of the portal, and a look of impatience flashed through the corners of his eyes: "Are we just going to let them go like this?"
"After all, our losses this time are also huge." In the scene where the surrounding Magic Empire pursuers did not continue to advance, the voice of Liangchen Meiyu was the first to ring in the player's camp: "Although the losses on the other side are not small. , but if we continue to choose to pursue at this time, the effect will not be as great as it was at the beginning."
"Don't think I'm easy to bully. I can still understand this situation." He strode up to the president of the Wings of Freedom. The sword warrior's hand that wanted to tear off the collar of Liangchen Meiyu also felt suppressed. After hesitating, he stopped: "With so many people, can we really not defeat them? Even if the Void Library hides its strength, our magic warriors and magic sentries are enough to defeat them -"
"These people are also our last reserve force. We can't throw them all out." Not paying attention to the ferocious look shown by the other party at this time, Liangchen Meiyu stretched out her hand and twisted her collar with a proud look on her face: "Don't forget There are threats that we still need to deal with, and these threats have not yet been completely resolved.”
"Come on, aren't they just a bunch of rats running around in the tower?" He slapped his hand aside, and the anger on the face of the sword warrior, known as the Young Master of the Chu family, could no longer be concealed: " If you can't even handle these rats, you guys deserve to be retired."
"In fact, they really should retire." Touching his nose, the swordsman player named Liangchen Meiyu hid his sight deeply: "I'm afraid you who have been fighting outside don't know about us. The battle situation in the tower - most of the masters, including the clan leader, have now been killed in the previous ritual formation."
"Wha, what?" Then the young swordsman, who was glaring and looking for trouble, looked slightly stunned: "All, all killed? What happened?"
"Report!"
Before anyone answered his words, a player who quickly ran out of the player group appeared in front of Liangchen Meiyu and the sword warrior. The panting expression quickly calmed down after a while, as if that appeared on his face. The panic seemed to have been prepared for a long time: "Report to the president! Malok has appeared! He has controlled the magic circuit on the 80th floor! He is currently escaping to a higher level!"
"Most of the energy defense of Tyran Tower was consumed due to the effect of the living ritual, and that guy took the opportunity to launch an attack." The player's voice was still very low, but what he said still became louder in the ears of others. Extremely clear and loud: "Lord Ivost is continuing to struggle with him, but it seems that he will lose his target soon, so-"
"Look, that's it." Without immediately responding to the player's report, Liangchen Meiyu turned around and gestured to the livid face of the great sword warrior who was close at hand: "The current internal defense of Tyran Tower is very empty. If something really happens, both of you and I—"
"Report, report!"
Before the sword warrior could utter a rebuttal, another player figure who appeared on the edge of the crowd hurriedly ran to Liangtatsu Meiyu. He was also out of breath and then said something that really made Liangtatsu Meiyu's face change. But the content of the report was extremely brief: "President! Everyone in the second team has returned from the dead!"
"They also called in reinforcements!"
The battle from the depths of this unknown territory finally came to an end with this result. The battlefield with the portal as the dividing line finally disappeared into the free world with the peaceful and orderly retreat of the respective players. However, The circumstances of this battle were gradually revealed to ordinary players in the free world through battle reports from major guilds and disclosures from players participating in the battle. In this battle, all players from the new alliance except for the strong ones suffered heavy losses, especially the members of the Second Guild in the World. On average, each player lost more than one level. They originally wanted to retreat in an orderly manner, but they were naturally pursued on the other side of the Void Library, but in the end they were blocked by another reinforcement from the City of Freedom. The reinforcements composed of the Free City player force headed by them and the other half of the secret player group who did not know where they came from also gave a blow to the pursuing Magic Empire, instantly defeating their intention to sneak attack in secret and take advantage of the last point. Backed away. The power and mystery of the Magic Empire's side also disappeared a little with their reinforcements. The magic troops and magic devices that were deeply feared by players also revealed some useful information because of their participation in the war. The experience of Feng Lei and other masters fighting side by side and the final result of victory also greatly improved the defense and morale of the entire Free City in disguise.
Without the secret control of the Magic Empire, the countless ancient magic armors raging in the city gradually lost their original threat. However, all this dawn of victory and the confrontation between the two national-level forces were soon replaced by a larger The topic was washed away.
"The Bridge of Miracles...has been repaired?"
"That's right! The bridge changed its appearance overnight! It looks brand new!"
"The mysterious magical power that divided the team has also disappeared! Now everyone can pass!"
"So, that means - can we reach the other end of the bridge? Find the legendary new continent?"
The rumors of the New World spread like wildfire as more and more players discovered and confirmed them. Centered on the Free City, they quickly spread to every corner of the entire continent. The attraction of a new continent-level adventure place The power not only successfully diverted the attention of all players from fighting with each other, but also fully stimulated the greed and ambition of most guild organizations and groups. The guild forces headed by the Alliance then took the lead in issuing a statement, hoping that the major guilds could exercise restraint and use enough patience and orderly organization to deal with the rapidly rising enthusiasm among the ordinary player groups. However, the issuance of this statement was inconsistent with the so-called The players' enthusiasm had not taken effect long before they were completely pushed back to their original position by the actions from the new alliance.
"Jianghu is doing business, others should retreat."
"Why, you look down on Jianghu? Then, do we, the second best people in the world, have enough weight? We have the final say on this bridge now!"
"Do you think we have paid so much for Freedom City in vain? We deserve the priority to enter the Freedom Bridge. Either show proof of equal contribution, or let the guys in our hands speak for themselves. .”
"We are also doing this for your safety. After all, without any order and arrangement, any behavior on this bridge is reckless and suicidal. Therefore, we are acting in accordance with the rules of the world. If you have any opinions - —”
"Just come and mention it to me."
Standing at the forefront of the Bridge of Miracles facing the sea breeze, the blue hair was constantly fluttering and he whispered calmly. The sword blade that was constantly entangled in the hair also slightly revealed the unique fiery heat of Hua Yan. Glory, shining like a demonstration to the players behind him who came to report: "Do you understand? If you understand, go back. If you really want to have a way to prove yourself, please submit your application to the No. 2 team in the world. yes."
"Are you sure they're on that side?"
Looking at the players who came to provoke and retreating unwillingly, the woman who was silent for a moment then said in a low voice: "If we reach the other side as quickly as possible now, will we still find it?" His possibility?”
"You don't need to completely reach the other side, as long as you can reach the center of the bridge, it should be enough." Still maintaining a normal smile on his face, Aiyu Ninglan, who was standing next to Xuyu Liushang, quietly replied: "That More Mr. Na should be able to help you walk the rest of the way, or provide some information you need."
"Even so, we still have a long way to go." He frowned and kept staring at the front without wavering: "Regardless of the obstacles such as broken bridges and the threat of the endless sea, It is still the biggest problem we need to face, and if the space shield protecting the bridge disappears, we may have to deal with some unexpected troubles..."
"If it weren't for the same reason of wanting to find Mr. Ninglan, Ninglan wouldn't have chosen to travel with you."
The smile on her face shifted a little, and the folded hands of Ningyu Ninglan also turned to the front of Xuyu Liushang: "If Miss Yushang still has concerns, Ninglan will take the first step."
"Let me confirm again, he really transferred successfully, right?"
A slight feeling of anxiety flashed in his eyes for a moment, and Wuyu Liushang intentionally or unintentionally looked behind him at the large number of Jianghu and the second largest guild group in the world who were still blocking the bridge: "Of course I want to see him as soon as possible. , as long as the situation behind me can be completely stabilized without me—"
"With all due respect, Miss Yushang."
The rare self-address instantly interrupted the murmuring words, and the eyes of the blue-haired swordswoman who had not stopped secretly observing suddenly widened: "The purpose of breaking the old system and establishing a new alliance at any cost must be Everyone present already knows it well, whether it is the reason for its initial establishment or the recent major actions, everyone present has long been suspicious."
"If there is no good way to continue to maintain it, confessing your purpose is also an option."
She turned around, and her serious eyes met those of Whispering Talk: "The name of the master——"
"Perhaps it will also have more unexpected effects, right?"
