1371 Stirred up muddy waters
Since the last free world version update, the term "train" is no longer a new word in front of the majority of players, and the initial novelty has slowly lost its original appeal in the eyes of more and more players after trying and traversing it. The number of trains that appear in various parts of the continent at the same time began to increase over time, and finally became a common mode of transportation in various countries and regions of the Free Continent, but for the sake of cost-effectiveness, this way of traveling and transitioning the map was also in stark contrast to the player's growing strength.
Regardless, these magical creations, mimicking the railroad transportation of a century ago in the real world, are still the main link between the major nations and the guild powers, but the ends of these ties are usually set up outside the city, and rarely connected to the interior of the city.
"So they connected those tracks to the docks?"
Led by the rising sun, he found the other direction of Freedom Square, and Duan Qing, who was lying on the roof of a house somewhere between the black city buildings, stretched out his head and whispered: "Are they already rampant enough to change the terrain of the city at will?" β
"If you have enough prestige and influence, you can legally change the structure and topography of the city." Xue Ling, who was also hidden above the house, shook his head disdainfully: "This is not the main problem, the main problem is why they sent such a big man in. β
"I guess it's for the delivery of goods." Looking at the looming container cars that appeared at the far end of Liberty Square, Geedmayne pinched his chin in surprise: "This wagon can carry much more goods than our normal carriages and the like, and this way is really suitable for transporting large quantities of goods." β
"I see, it does make a lot of sense." Nodding knowingly, Duan Qing's gaze fell back on the players who were constantly clustered around the square below: "Then a new question arises: what do they want so many supplies for?" Is it to wage war in the city of freedom? β
"I've never heard of starting a war to transport things to the enemy's hinterland and then start it."
Let out a helpless sigh, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who retracted his gaze, then pouted and replied, "And if they have the ability to transport so many supplies along with the train, they will probably be able to occupy this city, right?" What else is going on with all this extra effort? β
"Either they don't bother to take over the city, or they have other aims." Frowning and shaking his head, Duan Qing's face gradually deepened: "Of course, there is a third possibility that can explain the phenomenon in front of them, that is, they have not contributed anything at all. β
"This train could have come here." His gaze drifted to the unknown direction ahead again, and Duan Qing said his next guess: "They just robbed one of them and took this opportunity to come here." β
"Ning Lan also knows a thing or two about this kind of train." Pacing gracefully to Duan Qing's side, the code Ning Lan, who came here at some point, then took on the task of explaining again: "This kind of train should be a cargo box train all over the free continent, using magic devices and energy as fuel, except for the simplest power combination device, the braking device and safety device are the most rudimentary design, only suitable for the simplest cargo shipment and transportationββ"
"Okay, okay, we understand the commonalities between us and the rest of the cargo."
Hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt the other party's explanation, Duan Qing sighed involuntarily, wiped the cold sweat like the others, and then sank on the roof with the breath that was silent again, and quietly watched the train that unloaded batches of goods began to leave silently: "But there are so many things they sent, looking at this amount, there should be no problem in supplying a force to fight." β
"In the era of cold weapons, there are no consumables, at most they are food, grass, medicine, and magic consumables." He lowered his voice and read these words, and the expression on the face of Gedmayne on the side then became gloomy: "But if you count the 21st-century firearms simulated by alchemy creations, and the long-range attacks of bows and arrows that have just been developed......"
"And magic bombs." Asahi Dongsheng, who was lying at the front, then added: "That's a real big killer, if you can get a box of that kind of small bomb, maybe you can finish off the entire Free City." β
"Do they want to blow up the bridge? Don't scare me. β
"It's impossible to blow up the bridge."
Pointing to the figures of the players who were constantly disappearing at the edge in the depths of the Freedom Square in front of him, Xue Lingphantom whispered with a cold face: "Look, they are still sending people to that bridge, presumably they are still continuing the plan of the raider." β
"From the time we came here, the bridge was in the hands of these people." Also noticing these scenes, the brow on Gedman's face also furrowed: "After so many days, the players they sent in are not ten thousand, but eight thousand. β
"If the Bridge of Freedom is a place where the number of people can be used to pile up, it will not be reduced to the 'Three Wonders' by players in the free world." Xue Lingphantom Ice let out a cold snort: "Just look at the people in the second place in the world and the people in the Borderlands, their local gangs have not attacked for such a long time, how can these people in front of them succeed?" β
"The second in the world is their advantage in terms of local prestige and degree of investigation, but it cannot be said that the restorers do not have an advantage." Duan Qing shook his head: "The knowledge they inherited from the Ancient Magic Empire will also play a role in solving the mysteries of this city to a certain extent after all. β
"Especially when the existence of a certain great magician is confirmed."
I don't know what he was thinking about, the gray-robed magician then quietly retracted his head, and the hidden roof, which had lost its voice for a while, gradually lost the traces of these people in the light and shadow of the sunlight and the sea breeze, reflecting their figures in the streets and alleys far away from Freedom Square: "The map of the Bridge of Liberty did appear in the previous League Cup games, and it was the one with the Morna test, if it was really designed like this in the real free world, Let the player who passes that test pass the bridge of freedom......"
"With so many players invested, it's also like a wheel battle in the Raiders dungeon level, plus so much material support, the magic technology of the Magic Empire...... The possibility of a strategy is really high. β
"The most critical problem is that we don't know what the copy of the Bridge of Miracles looks like and how difficult it is, even if their current strength can't support them to pass through that long passage, they can be regarded as excluding all competitors at this time after they have blocked the square......
"Everything is now in an unknowable stalemate, in case they do become the first to conquer the Bridge of Miracles-"
The sound of sparse footsteps slowly appeared in the ears of several players who were gathered between the dark alleys, and the footsteps that interrupted the discussion between several people began to become more and more dense, and Duan Qing, who hurriedly held his breath and silenced his voice, then watched the figures of countless players pass by in front of the dark alley where they were, drowning the light at the entrance of the alley with countless bright swords and shouts pulling their throats: "Quick!" Fast! β
"Raise your eyebrows, just today!"
"It's good to teach those guys who occupy a place all day long and don't leave, we are not the second in the world to be messed with!"
"Their progress must be interrupted! Give it to me! β
The figures in the light formed a straight line at the entrance of the alley, and soon the shouts of killing spread to the front of the square not far away, and the sound of battle, which was almost indistinguishable from the daily life of a normal Liberty City, began to sound in the northwest direction of the square in turn, interspersed with the roar of the magic explosion and the screams of the players from time to time. Looking blankly at the heat wave and colorful magic arcs rising in that area, Duan Qing and the others who were hiding in the corner of the street did not retract their stunned expressions for a long time, and the melee picture that gradually crowded the corner of the street and alley began to force them back continuously, and only after a long time did they break away from the gradually chaotic urban street battle with the aftermath of the battle: "What, what's going on?" β
"Why did they fight before we could make a move?"
"And they're the second best people in the world? Aren't they on the side of the Restorationists? β
"Who told you that they were on the side of the Restorationists? And even if they were on the other side, with the character of that group of people, it would be very easy to do things like rebellion! β
"Our battle plan is still too simple."
Finally finding a safe corner away from the hustle and bustle, Duan Qing, who was out of breath, then stood up straight with his arms crossed and his body, which looked a little tired from running: "Look for a gap, take advantage of the chaos to rush into the enemy formation and fish in troubled waters - judging from the situation observed today, the battle plan to rush into the Bridge of Miracles may not be so simple to achieve." β
"Snatching the entrance back, we can't do it with this little manpower." Hearing this, Asahi Dongsheng also raised his head: "Only a big guild like the second in the world can probably have capital comparable to it." β
"It's not like we're not unprepared, it's just that our reinforcements haven't arrived yet." His face became much more serious, and Xue Ling's voice became a little stiffer again: "However, judging from the current situation, our strength is probably not enough to support us to win the final victory." β
"No, maybe there's a chance." Before Duan Qing could express his opinion, Gedemayne on the side took the lead in raising his thick eyebrows: "There is no need to change the combat policy of fishing in troubled waters, but this combat method needs to be applied to a larger battlefield pattern, and there is already a second force in the world, as long as more people are involved, more troubled waters will be createdββ"
Rumble!
The piercing sound of the explosion muffled the whispered exchange between several people, accompanied by a wave of sound that rushed towards the horizon of the distant Free City, and the aura of a dragon-like aura composed of the rising wind then let out an earth-shattering roar among the countless torn pieces of flesh and blood, sending the tip of the spear wrapped in it and a figure wrapped in the tip of the spear into the sky that countless players were looking at. The cyan headband and the cyan armor all over the body appeared from the clear sunlight, and the spearman with a body like a spring contracted freely pulled out a dazzling spear flower between the bursting breath of scattering and disintegration, and the spear shadow pointing forward then turned into a straight and dazzling emerald meteor in the center of the Freedom Square in front of him, along with the falling posture: "Double Dragon into the sea!" β
The cyan meteor turned into a green dragon and returned to the embrace of the earth with a piercing air roar, and the brick and stone fragments stirred up by the cyan dragon's bombardment then flew around the square in the scene of countless players and black-clad guards being blown away, and scattered to every corner of the chaotic battlefield with dust and blood mist. The faint tremor did not completely stop because of the dragon-shaped spear qi brought by this attack, but flew towards the blue sky again with the dance of another long dragon, and the green dragon Gangfeng, who had already broken away from the spear, then also turned in a big circle in the boundless roar, and then fell again in the direction where the killing sound was most intense on the other side of the square: "Don't be afraid! I will blaze a trail for you! Brethren, give meβ"
"Fancy tricks are of no use in the face of absolute power."
The voice that shook the entire space then echoed in everyone's ears, and at the same time, a dark hole appeared in the sky over the entire battlefield, and the black light flashing from the center of the hole then also passed through the shackles of space, and instantly dispersed the cyan dragon that was about to land: "The fun ends here, little ones." β
"So, what's that?"
The deafening voice could not suppress the exclamations of the players present, and the panic sensation was transmitted from the center of the square where the black hole emerged to the surroundings, and the spearman who was facing this endless abyss-like scene then retracted his brave steps that were about to continue forward, and his body seemed to be no longer upright under the huge pressure: "Difficult, are you the legendary one-"
"We know what you little mortals think."
Like a black cloud of billowing smoke, the black hole that replaced the sunlight enveloped every corner of the square with the sound of rolling thunder: "We have never regarded you as a kind of existence, but you have repeatedly provoked us. β
"You still don't believe in the difference that fate bestows."
The black energy stream stretched out from the center of the black hole along with the passage of the voice, and the next moment, along with the rolling thunder sound, covered the entire space where the spear warrior player was located: "The one who doesn't believe in fateβ"
"He deserves to be punished by fate."
