"So have you decided?"
Some time later, around the martial arts training ground, a voice named Hu Mobei slowly spoke out in the silent silence and gathered stares: "Have you decided who the next candidate will be?"
"Have you decided to replace him?" The answer was the old man Hu Yandong who had been sleeping in the other corner but opened his eyes at this time: "I see this general under your command. It doesn’t seem like there’s any life-threatening danger.”
"Do you really want to fight to the death?" Shaking his head, Hu Mobei did not show any anger because of the other party's words: "Fighting to this level is enough, he The blow he received was enough to represent victory or defeat."
"I'll leave the rest to you." Looking at the shield warrior who was still standing motionless in the center of the circular field, his voice also rose as he turned his gaze to the surroundings: "Our Northern Army has already attacked. Being the first to fight, I have paid a sufficient price, so——"
"Isn't it also the turn of you and the other two armies to contribute?"
The swaying wind began to become restless for a moment as Hu Mobei's words fell. The cheers and noises from the surrounding tribesmen also rose again around the martial arts training ground as the atmosphere tightened. Facing the overwhelming pressure from the mountains and plains, Gedman still maintained his unmoving posture at this time. Only the sound of Asahi Dongsheng, who was approaching from behind, constantly slapping his back was still mixed in: "Okay! Good on you! You actually hid your strength! How dare you show off with me during sparring!"
"You-" He pushed the other party's heavy body, and then came closer as if he had just discovered something unusual: "You... hello, are you okay?"
"Of course...it's okay." After moving the shield a little distance, Goldman's answer sounded much more difficult now: "It's just...the sequelae after the explosion of power...that's all, let me Just stand here quietly for a while."
"Okay, okay, you're already great." Pouting his lips, Asahi Dongsheng closed his eyes and patted the opponent's shoulder again: "I tried my best to kill a humanoid BOSS, even in most cases. Players at the professional player level are already heroes in duels, so you should get off the field and take a rest."
"I told you that I'm fine. I just need to relax a bit." After replying with a deep breath, Gedman raised the arm holding the scrap metal sword tightly towards the back: "This is not Now that’s the crux of the matter.”
"As long as this duel ceremony continues, we won't be able to hold on forever."
As he said these words, his gaze lowered slightly as he was surrounded by the shouts of countless Hulun people: "How long do you need?"
"I don't know either, Naxia has been staying in the tent and hasn't come out." A certain stone in his arms then made a voice belonging to Duan Qing: "But the magic circle should be ready, even if this clue If the verification is not successful in the end, we will have nothing to lose.”
"...That's good." He closed his eyes again, and Gedman, who seemed to be enduring pain, breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "The next thing that needs to be considered is how to end this farce well - —”
"What did you say?"
Before he could finish his words, a declaration loud enough to drown out the noise and abuse around him rang in Gedmane's ears: "I haven't even played yet! How could it be over after you've finished your handsome show? I What to do with the lens?”
"No one is interested in watching your performance, and even if there are, they are the Hulun people who want you to die." Pointing at the onlookers around him who were waving their fists, Gedman turned away with a look of helplessness. He turned his head and said: "The situation is urgent, so please stop acting on your own terms, okay?"
"Of course it's not good! My sword has been thirsty for a long time!" Asahi Dongsheng, who unceremoniously crossed the shield warrior's shoulder and stood in front with a righteous expression, replied with eyes wide open: "At least let me do the same. Just challenge a boss alone! You, a cumbersome shield warrior like you, can do it, why can’t I?”
"If I am a clumsy warrior, then you are a stupid warrior." Covering his face helplessly, Goldman sighed deeply: "Or do you think it is easy to challenge the BOSS alone? It's a small matter to be embarrassed, but it's a big deal to lose your life."
"No, the scholar cannot be killed." Wiping his nose, Chao Ri Dongsheng turned around and stuffed the flag he was carrying into Goldmane's arms: "You have taken all the limelight? How could I accept this? Just stay aside and watch carefully, it only takes me a few minutes to solve it."
"Then what? Are more bosses jumping out to chase and fight?" Gedman, who was pushed back and grinned, replied angrily: "There are tens of thousands of masters from the four legions. What I just said The defeated Hu Khan was just one of the leaders, not to mention that there were a total of nine elders in their Presbyterian Council, and now only three have come..."
"Forget it, let him go out for fun if he wants to." Duan Qing's voice suddenly sounded between the two people, and there was a hint of sigh in the interrupted voice: "Don't get here. In the end, just missing arms and legs will be fine."
"The plan remains unchanged, we will start the ceremony as quickly as possible." As if sending some kind of signal, the calm voice was a little more decisive: "I will not object to anything you do to show your personality. action, but-"
"When the determination of our Qingling Adventure Group is revealed, please don't fall behind."
The sound of the communication once again disappeared at the other end of the distant Hulun tribe. Duan Qing, who turned off the magician, then nodded his head to Xueling Huanbing on the side. He moved toward the still quiet tent door behind him. After glancing at Chu, the movement about to leave also paused for a moment: "Na - Violet, do you really don't need us to stay here any longer?"
"Just make sure no one disturbs us." Then Nasia's low response came from the tent: "You can do whatever you want with the rest."
"We can ensure safety, but it is difficult for us to keep the news from being leaked." Looking at the scene of some Hulun soldiers lying on the ground in front of him, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "So our There’s not much time left.”
"Then let's proceed as planned."
There was silence in the tent for a while, but the woman's voice that rose again sounded a little more piercing through the air. Duan Qing, who turned around hurriedly, stretched out his hands as if sensing something, and held out his hands. Something flew out of the door curtain and was caught in his arms: "And - take this."
"This task is also entrusted to you."
*******************************
"What...is happening outside?"
The dark scene was replaced by yellow light. Surtu, who was lying on the simple wooden bed, opened his eyes again. His hazy spirit was accompanied by the consciousness that he had never woken up in the past few days, and the faint sound coming from the distance. The noise mingled together: "Someone... fighting?"
"You're awake." Then a glass of water appeared on his lips from the old man on crutches: "After only such a short period of time, you have digested the power of Dragon Ni's blood. Your physical fitness is indeed better than that of ordinary people." Much stronger."
"The Blood of Dragon Rebellion?" His mind seemed to have become clearer with the water entering his throat and the conversation. Surtu, who sat up, looked at the old man next to him with a horn water glass in his hand: "That's What? I... during this time..."
"Okay, okay, you must be confused now." After temporarily suppressing the doubts on the other party's face, Elder, who put his hands back, turned and walked towards the depths of the mill-like room: "And in your case A lot of things did happen during the period of coma."
"It seems that it is not easy to explain these things to you one by one."
He used the crutch in his hand to hit the ground with clear sounds, and finally turned his head again as if he had decided something: "Well, considering that you are the current leader of the once glorious Sioux tribe, Let’s start with the most important thing about the identity of the clan leader.”
"Your tribe is still alive and well now. It survived a lot from the final attack of the wind wheel cannon." He held a bottle of wine in an emerald green bottle in his hand, and his eyes focused on the bottle also Revealing the meaning of memories: "Of course, because of the relationship between you harboring the divine envoy, the relationship between you and the Hulun tribe has become not so good now."
"Harboring the Divine Envoy? What is that?" Covering his head and groaning in pain, Surtu gritted his teeth and asked his question: "What's going on with the Wind Wheel Cannon?"
"It's this thing behind me." Raising his head, the old man pointed with his crutch at the mechanical entities that were still rotating in the windmill: "Thanks to the adventurer in your tribe, it Finally, it came in handy before the first round of attacks by the beast tide defeated our front line. Although...well, well, it seems that the people in the tribe did not tell the truth to your tribe. This is their fault. wrong."
"Beast Tide?" It seems that he has heard of this name. Surtu's expression immediately became serious and ugly: "Beast Tide appears near here? But this place is obviously——"
"That's right, this place shouldn't be an attack point for the beast tide."
Nodding his head and interrupting Surtu's words, Elder Elder walked back again with the crutch in his hand: "Even in the windless season, the beast tide will not easily attack and occupy those places where the monsoon is permanent. land, because once the monsoon returns, they still have to give up the living space they finally occupied."
"Except for the places closest to the edge of the continent, there are actually very few places in the Wind Continent that are not affected by wind waves." The old man's sigh became more obvious when he said this: "But due to the Hulun people's long-term seizure ' and 'Collection', this territory that has been occupied by the Hulun people for a long time is no longer a grassland protected by the wind."
"Now that all the energy in the earth's veins has disappeared, this place has become the most suitable location for the beast tide to occupy." Pointing to his feet, Elder's voice was also full of indifference and sadness: "Everything is reincarnation and Retribution is the backlash of those who try to break free from the shackles of the wind and end up losing the protection of the wind. The choice made by the original patriarch when he migrated here finally pulled the thread of fate back to ourselves."
"Although I don't quite understand what you are saying now, I feel that the situation has become very bad." The same thought flashed in his eyes, and Surtu lowered his head quietly: "No wonder before During the banquet, the head of the Hulun tribe will make such a request...are you already prepared?"
"So be it, although I don't know what the specific details are." Turning around to hide his expression, the old man raised his head and looked at the huge mechanical dome that was still running in front of him: "The second wave of beasts will be here soon. will come, we may not have time to pursue these matters.”
"Will it be coming soon?" Another huge cheer and applause in the distance came to his ears. Surtu looked in the direction of the door in surprise: "But this... isn't this the sound of a fierce battle? ?”
"No, that's not the sound of war." Elder replied with a hint of smile in his tone: "That's the duel ceremony that is taking place."
"It's a few adventurers from your tribe who want to challenge the duel ceremony of the entire Hulun tribe."
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of knocking on the door then came from in front of the two people. The dull and sudden knocking also interrupted Surtu's startled question that he wanted to ask again. He first looked in the direction of the door, and then looked in the direction of the door. He glanced at the stooped back of the old man who was gradually walking forward with a cane: "Who is it? We are not accepting outsiders now."
"I am Baibu Wushuang."
A dull response then appeared outside the door, and the answer also contained a somewhat emotionless feeling: "I came with a token from the Lufen Chamber of Commerce."
"Lufen Chamber of Commerce? No wonder those guards didn't stop you." A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and the old man turned to look at Surtu's face with a strange smile: "Your subordinates are really smart, choosing the most valuable ones." Someone who might not be stopped comes to act as an emissary.”
"Then-" He lengthened his voice again, and the old man resumed his indifferent attitude: "What are you here for?"
"Can you open the door and meet me?"
Seemingly unaffected by this attitude, Baibu Wushuang's voice still sounded unhurriedly outside the door: "I have something to give to the resident inside."
"No, this is a tribal area." The old man rejected the other party's request: "I don't know how many people you brought, and whether there are any lurkers nearby. I need to ensure the safety of this place."
"Hmph, this kind of ordinary wooden door..."
Seemingly dissatisfied with the other party's reply, the response from outside the door was followed by a dismissive snort: "That's it - I put the things I have to hand over at the door, and then I leave. "
"Just help pass the stuff to him."
