The two cars on Lu Wu's side stopped. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the other party are about dozens of meters apart, facing each other from afar. The number ratio is two to nine, and the occupants of each car on the other side are full, on the contrary, Lu Wu did not bring too many guards because of Aqi's guarantee.

Although the other party didn't do anything for the time being, when Lu Wu was here, he could feel that invisible pressure.

"Is it Grumas?" Lu Wu asked Ah Qi beside him. Yes, it's not good, but if nothing else, he still has amber on his side. In addition, his cars are modeled after the small trucks on Earth, and after a simple modification, the electromagnetic turret is installed on it. While this turret is a nuisance in normal times and takes up storage space, it can become a powerful point of fire if there is a conflict.

"Impossible...... If Grumas did...... The entire Radiant Sun family ......" Ah Qi looked ahead in disbelief and said softly.

"It's coming!" Amber reminded. A figure on the opposite side had already jumped out of the car. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can see the traces of magic from the range of superhuman movements.

A gust of wind blew the dust kicked up by the vehicle away. Lu Wu recognized the other party as Colonel Doyle almost immediately. The eyes were as cold as ever, but there was no hostility on his face.

Using the power of the magic ring, he quickly found the faces of several other people on the side, all of them the faces he had met at the Hongmen Banquet today. These were not Grumas's subordinates, but Grummas's invited guests. Since Grumas had introduced him before, Lu Wu knew that most of these people were commanders of other cities on the edge of Nice City.

Of course, Gru, whose name is half as similar to Grumas, is not among them. One of them, the slightly fatter officer, was waving his hand at Lu Wu and saying hello.

"Don't be nervous, not an enemy. Lu Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he said that he was not afraid, he also knew that if it was really a battle, he would at least have amber protection, and it would be difficult for Ivan and Aqi to say.

Lu Wu stepped forward. Colonel Doyle stared at him for a long time, and suddenly drew his sword from his body.

Lu Wu now knew that although Colonel Doyle's weapon was a very ordinary cold weapon on the outside, it was actually the crystallization of the world's high technology. It's made from a special metal produced under strong interactions, and it's so hard and almost indestructible that the nano-coating on the blade can exert terrifying lethality when driven by enough force. Driven by the magic of the Fourth Law, or simply in the hands of exoskeleton armor, it can slice through almost everything in this world. And no matter how much you cut it, it won't be damaged.

On the platform of the public trade network, this type of weapon belongs to the kind of expensive goods with "double high" price and authority. In fact, with Lu Wu's current authority, he has no right to buy it.

Colonel Doyle slowly drew his sword, then reversed the sword and handed it to Lu Wu. Lu Wu stretched out his hand to take it in confusion. But Doyle didn't say anything, and after Lu Wu took the sword, he turned around and jumped back into his car without saying a word.

The nine cars started immediately, and they roared away under Lu Wu's puzzled gaze, and the slightly fat officer turned around and waved to Lu Wu and made a farewell gesture. In the blink of an eye, the entire convoy disappeared into smoke and dust, never to be seen again.

"What's going on?" Lu Wu couldn't come back to his senses.

"Ha, Grumas has offended. In the headphones, the master said with a chuckle. "They show their support for you...... That is, in the event of a conflict, then Grumas's reinforcements will never come from several cities around the city of Nice, nor from Doyle's special forces. Basically, as long as the battle doesn't last a long time, then the regular army won't be able to help Grumas in any way. ”

"Why?"

"Because Grumas dragged them into the conflict between you and Grumas, but the deeper reason is probably that he is dissatisfied with his approach. While they wouldn't attack Grumas directly for this, they would be happy to see Grumas finish if they could. The master said. "Don't be surprised, partner. I've seen a lot of the various practices of socially functioning sapient beings in groups...... If you have seen more, you will naturally understand. In fact, almost all societies that can be called 'civilized' operate in this way. Humans are no different. ”

Lu Wu returned to his car. This time, both Aqi and Ivan had already sensed that something was wrong.

"Your Excellency Lu Wu, what happened at today's banquet?" Ivan asked first. Yes, all the weirdness started when Lu Wu came out. Ivan had thought that the two sides would simply collapse (which is normal, Grumas would be rare if he had no ambitions for the Floating Fortress), but now it is clearly not the case.

Lu Wu sighed and briefly explained what happened at today's banquet.

Ivan's expression quickly became solemn, although from the very beginning, he did not mind plotting against Grumas, for example, joining forces with the local legion against Grummas, Ivan fully agreed with and actively promoted it. But it's one thing to plot against others, and after understanding that Grumas was ready to plot against Lu Wu a long time ago, things were completely different.

To describe it, the danger has increased dramatically, and it must be treated with caution.

"Grumas is probably prepared. After a short silence, Aqi spoke. She now knew the purpose of Lu Wu and their coming here, or rather, she was also a member of this team. It's okay in the past, but now that she has even transferred her identity to the Sixteenth Legion, she must consider the problem from Lu Wu's point of view. Getting a Floating Fortress is definitely a worthwhile thing to do. "According to the plan provided by the local legion, they think that it is not appropriate to launch a surprise attack tonight or tomorrow. It's too hasty. ”

"The longer it drags on, the more prepared he becomes. Ivan objected. "And according to what was said over there, it's not that he doesn't have an army, and the real elite troops are still on the way. ”

"But ......"

"There's only one chance," Ivan said. "There should be time to ......"

"Don't forget, Grumas has a warlock by his side to protect him. Aqi said. "Those people have also confirmed, how do we deal with that warlock?"

"It's just a hired person, and it's not really going to be an all-out fight. ”

"It's just that he won't fight to the death, how can he not fight? He must be Grumas's trump card. If there is no way to deal with the warlock, even if you attack, you will only be killed. Aqi disagreed.

"Offense and defense are different, and it is precisely because the other side has warlocks that we have to take the initiative and raid. Ivan said. "Warlocks are very powerful, and if you give him enough time and room to maneuver, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. But as long as we can attack suddenly, as planned...... Things are not so dangerous. As long as he can make multiple simultaneous advances and defeat Grummas's men, then a single warlock will be alone. Even if the Warlock takes the initiative to defeat one of us, the others will still be able to deal with Grummas. So as long as Grumas still had a little brain, his choice was to let the warlock protect him in his retreat. However, in that case, there are only a few marksmen...... Or they can gather so much firepower that even a warlock can't protect Grumas. ”

"Will it work?" said Aki, still hesitant. "Anyway, Grumas has almost a heavy army under him. Can we break all of Grummas's resistance before the Warlock can do enough damage, especially the last step. ”

"Of course it works," Ivan stole a glance at Lu Wu and said. "It's okay for the others, but if it's Hongyi and Your Excellency Lu Wu, I believe it will be possible!"

……

The attendant lifted the curtain door of the tent and saw his mistress lying on a blanket with her head resting on her terminal. Her eyes hurt, but her ears were fine. So what she does now is lie there and listen to the voice.

Now, for example, she has just found a new point of interest. In fact, instead of wasting her time recuperating in lifeless suffering, she made it positive and fun. So she didn't care about the entry and exit of her entourage in the slightest.

The entourage of "Madam ......" waited for a while, but found that the hostess's interest was all on the terminal, so he had to remind him loudly. "That, Your Excellency Lu Wu wants to see you. ”

"Huh?" Butterfly Dream opened her eyes.

"How's your doing?"

"It's all right," Diemon said. "My vision has fully recovered, but I still feel a little bit of pain. I guess it will take a long time to recover. Why did he come to see me?"

Although in terms of social status, a "female scholar" is higher and more respected than the commander of a local army in the Fifth District of the Army. But the so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and on Lu Wu's territory, she must be polite to the master. So far, it has always been Diemeng who took the initiative to find Lu Wu, but this time it was the other way around.

"That...... His expression was very serious, as if he had something very important. The entourage was slightly uneasy. Lu Wu came very abruptly this time, or rather, it made people instinctively feel that something was not right. Of course, the most important thing is that her hostess is hard pestered this time. The ostensible reason was that it was a private matter to come to Nice - but anyone who saw her lying in a tent for two days without going out would know that she must have another purpose. It's too far-fetched to use physical discomfort or something as a reason,

"Interesting, let me meet this Lord Lu Wu. Butterfly Dream jumped. "Hmph, I almost went blind, this sin is very big, and I have to pay the price!"

A few minutes later, she met the guests. Unlike in the past, this time Lu Wu did not have the little girl by his side (of course, this is Diemeng's own opinion - in terms of appearance, she is actually not qualified to call Amber a little girl), alone, and, unlike in the past, Lu Wu has added a sword to his body.

Although ordinary people may not be able to see it, Butterfly Dream is not an ordinary person. She could tell almost at a glance that it was not a mortal soldier, but a sharp weapon usually used only by warlocks. In particular, it is important to note that although theoretically, it is possible to use such a weapon while wearing exoskeleton armor, in practice it is almost impossible. Because not to mention the issue of permission, the price of this sword alone is at least worth hundreds of sets of exoskeleton armor. So under normal circumstances, such weapons will hardly appear on the battlefield of ordinary people.

Did something happen?, she thought to herself, but that didn't stop a smile from blooming on her face.

"Your Excellency Lu Wu, may I ask you for your sudden visit...... Is there anything I can help me with?"

"That, Ms. Diemeng......" Lu Wu hesitated slightly, but he still got to the point immediately. "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a warlock?"
