The standoff in the ruins had been going on for hours, and the patience of both sides was being severely tested.

But in terms of numbers and equipment, the Empire's side was at a significant disadvantage.

On this archaeological trip, they only came to more than 200 people in total, most of them are really scholars and students who only engage in archaeology, and the total number of transcendents of all ranks is less than 50, and the strongest legend level only comes five.

There are more than 100 transcendents on the barbarian side, and there are also seven legend-level people, occupying the absolute upper hand.

Moreover, the Empire is only equipped with a total of 5 sets of transformation armor, and the other transcendents only have various holy relics with different functions.

On the other hand, on the barbarian side, there are more than a dozen people wearing transformer armor, and many more are equipped with magic weapons that are very advanced at first glance.

Even their armor looks much more domineering and more beautiful than the Empire's side, and the helmets, chests, shoulders and other positions are equipped with decorations such as beast heads and claws, and the colors and patterns are more gorgeous, as if they can slash 999 levels.

In comparison, the transformation armor on the Empire's side is much more modest and rudimentary......

In addition, the size of the barbarians is generally taller and larger than that of the Empire, which leads to the confrontation between the two sides, and the Empire side does not look very imposing.

This is also something that cannot be helped, as the strongest two forces on the continent, each side has its own advantageous areas, and the empire is strong in terms of transcendent systems and holy relics; The Barbarians, on the other hand, have the upper hand in technology and magic technology.

Suddenly, a burly barbarian with a metal wolf's head on his chest seemed to be impatient, cursed in his mouth, lifted a heavy hammer with a magic guide in his hand, and moved two steps in the direction of the floating altar.

The transcendents on the Empire's side were taken aback, and the four prestigious legendary-level powerhouses took a step back one after another, reaching out to hold their respective weapons.

On the contrary, Klee, the youngest and shortest, took the initiative to step forward, drew her sword, pointed at the man, and threatened fiercely:

"If you dare to move again, I will stab you to death with a sword!"

The barbarian was slightly stunned, let out two dry laughs, and scolded:

"Pity the technetium dwarf, the Russian (1) smash the worm into an iron wedge!"

Klee said she didn't understand at all......

It turned out that it was the other party's leader, a guy with a helmet made like a metal tiger fur hat, raised the spear in his hand, blocked his own chest, and drove him back to his original position.

Then he said in imperial Chinese with a strong accent:

"My guy doesn't follow the rules, but I can understand him, and waiting is really irritating."

"But we won't do it until the final order comes down."

He behaved extremely aggressively, and didn't seem to take the people of the empire seriously at all.

The empire also quickly dragged Klee back, and whispered a few words of persuasion to let her endure it any longer.

Klee was disdainful of this, and the people on the other side had nothing to fear except that they looked fierce and vicious.

It's a big deal to run away and find her father, she firmly believes that there is no trouble in this world that her father can't handle.

At dawn today, it is the time when she and her father agreed to meet, if she is late by then, her father will definitely be angry, and when he is angry, he will not love himself, and he will become a wild child without his father's pain.

And she didn't know how her father would lie when he saw the dark circles on his face due to lack of sleep.

It's a pity that the rest of the empire doesn't know about the existence of Rohr, and they are still waiting, waiting for the leaders of the two sides to discuss a concrete result.

Professor Kant on the Imperial side was negotiating with the leader of the barbarians, and from time to time he asked the secretary to send telegrams to ask for the opinions of his superiors.

The other party was a curious, very strange old woman, half of her face was made of metal, all the way to the waist, skinny, and the standard imperial gentleman Fan Professor Kant formed a sharp contrast.

From the beginning of the two calmly reasoning and normal debate, it gradually developed into yin and yang, slandering each other, then spraying, personal attacks, and finally escalating to racial discrimination.

But he still maintained the last restraint and did not directly do it.

After another half hour or so, the secretaries of both sides handed the translated message to their respective chiefs at almost the same time.

The telegram from the Empire's side made it very clear: take this holy relic at all costs!

Elena, the Sage of Fire, Iron, the Sage of Metal, and Mark Hughes, the Sage of Mystic, had already led an army of more than 500 transcendents to board the airship and rush towards the border.

The sleeping seals of the demigod Higra and the demigod Yusaac are also being lifted.

In short, the empire looks like it's going to get serious......

Professor Kant couldn't help but smile wryly on his face.

No historian wants to witness a war, let alone be the trigger.

He stole a glance at the curious old woman of the barbarians, and she had almost the same expression on her face.

Obviously, the order on the barbarian's side should be about the same.

The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly retreated into their respective camps.

"In a moment, please leave Lord Ince and Lord Andro behind, and the rest of you, please do your best to cover Lord Koro leaving with that dagger......"

Professor Kant, after relaying the final order of the Empire, made his own arrangements.

The two eighth-order powerhouses who were named and left behind were stunned, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded.

After the ruins of this narrow passage are interrupted, it almost means that you will be loyal to the Empire.

Although both of them wore face armor and could not see the expressions on their faces, they must have been extremely ugly.

"May the glory of the empire live forever!"

"Die generously, right now!"

The two of them said each other, and then took out the token like an emblem from their bosoms and handed it to Professor Kant, hoping that he would help pass it on to his family.

Professor Kant shook his head.

"I'm not leaving, I'm staying with you."

"No, you're just a researcher with no combat power, you have to leave!"

A transcendent said with some excitement.

But Professor Kant shook his head, very stubborn.

"Dying in a ruin, sleeping with history, is the best place for an archaeologist, and it should be the price for me to disturb their rest......"

"My notes are in the tent, so if you have the chance, remember to take them with you."

Klee also wanted to persuade this old man, who had been taking care of herself all this time and patiently imparting all kinds of knowledge to herself.

But she was too short and her sense of presence was too low, and she jumped up and down in time to speak, and no one cared about him.

"Okay, don't mother-in-law, do it!"

At the moment when Professor Kant gave the order, the chests of the transcendents on the imperial side lit up with secret magic arrays, and all kinds of flames, lightning, and balls of light, with dazzling special effects, smashed towards the barbarians.

"I'll send you up."

After being left behind, the eighth-order powerhouse spoke, reaching out to hold Klee's shoulder, and then threw her hard, throwing her towards the altar in mid-air.

Although the barbarians were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Empire, they reacted instantly.

Several barbarians with metal wolf heads on their chests and umbrella-shaped weapons in their hands shouted, and the umbrella-shaped weapons in their hands quickly unfolded, forming a light blue light curtain, covering everyone on their side and resisting the attack on the Empire's side.

The legendary powerhouse on the Empire's side also made a move, and a strong man with an arquebus pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun instantly lit up with a miniature arcane magic array, and a pointed bullet wrapped in lightning erupted from the muzzle.

In the blink of an eye, the bullet hit the opponent's light curtain protection, spinning at high speed, rubbing a large string of dazzling sparks with the light curtain, and cracks appeared on the light curtain.

A barbarian with a lion's head and shoulder armor on his shoulder drew his long knife from his waist, shouted angrily, and raised his knife to slash at the bullet that was about to break through the barrier.

But before his knife could fall, he saw a short dagger made of black mist emerge from his vest and stab it into it, piercing him on the spot.

"It's a spell! These cunning Imperials! ”

"Kill them all! Kill them all! ”

The barbarian powerhouse who had stopped Klee before also made a move, and he raised the spear-like weapon in his hand, spewing a golden ray of light from it, but instead of attacking the Imperial Yankees on the opposite side, he aimed at Klee who had just landed on the altar.

"Be careful!"

Professor Kant shouted heartbreakingly.

"Dadada!"

Klee's slightly immature voice came from above.

I saw several sword qi shoot out from the saber she had stored in the hilt, slashing towards the pillar of light that rushed towards her.

In the blink of an eye, the pillar of light was shredded into a large pile of tiny pieces, falling from the sky and falling to the ground with a crisp sound like broken glass.

"Stop that shorty!"

The barbarian powerhouse roared and was about to jump onto the altar, but several dark figures suddenly appeared under his feet, spreading their arms and hugging his legs tightly.

Although the people of the empire stopped him, they could not stop the other two barbarian powerhouses who were also wearing metal tiger helmets, and the attacks that rushed at them were blocked by each of them.

The two people who jumped onto the altar, emitting a pale golden light, brandished the hammer and long knife in their hands, bringing out the sound of whirring wind, and striking Klee left and right.

"Our true barbarian warriors, with the protection of our ancestors, your cunning secret arts and spells are useless!"

"Die! Shorty! ”

The two of them shouted in their mouths, and the heavy weapons hit Klee motionless in place at the same time, as if they were stunned.

But with a muffled bang, their weapons collided.

What they hit was just a phantom.

Klee appeared behind the two of them at some point, and the sword in her hand pierced mercilessly into the abdomen of one of her opponents, and then pulled it down, cutting a narrow wound in the other's chest.

Then she kicked them off the altar with both feet, reaching for the end of the dagger.
