On January 18, 795 New Calendar, at the east gate of the Fars Fortress, a white-armored warrior with an indifferent face walked to the top of the city wall with a firm step, then took off his helmet and shook off the long black hair on his head. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info once again the morning sun through the breeze, sprinkled on the walls of this fortress, illuminating the city wall in front of you, but also dyed the long black hair fluttering in the wind into a piece of golden red, but the difference from the previous days is that this time the smoke of war and endless shouts under the morning light have gradually moved away from here, replaced by the sound of soldiers cleaning up the battlefield, and the boasting and laughter of mutual celebration between players.

"They still can't beat us after all, hahahaha!"

"Although it lasted so long, didn't you run away in the end......

"Alright, alright, now the principality is in front of our eyes! Without Fars, what will they do to resist us? Could it be the legendary Tania? ”

"I haven't been to that place, but I heard from the old members before that it was just a dirt city with a different worldly style, nothing special......"

"Then what are you hesitating about, there are imperial armies and chariots, it's not a matter of minutes to push off those stragglers, when the time comes, I'm going to rush to the walls of Tania and play with a sergeant major who planted a flag, hahahaha!"

"Well...... Don't think about it yet. ”

"Hahaha...... Yes? What's wrong? ”

"There is news from above, the military of the empire has given an order to rest, it seems...... I don't plan to attack for the time being. ”

"What? Such a great opportunity, the legs are split in front of us, why don't we go up? ”

"I heard that the Imperial people wanted to make some demands again to prove the legitimacy of their war, and the representatives were all sent out, and it seems that formal contact has been opened with the retreating principalities, so ...... Unless we want to be a soldier who doesn't obey military orders, and then be sent back to the camp by the Imperial Inspector Brigade, we might as well wait. ”

"Damn, I don't accept it! We have also fought to the death in Fars, why did we come to this critical time......"

"Okay, do you know more or do I know more, what's the use of just thinking about cutting people, really occupy Tania, and in the end, it's not those high-level bigwigs who share the spoils, there is absolutely no share between you and me. Rather than hoping for things that we can't reach in a lifetime, we might as well sweep the battlefield with Captain Ice Crusher, and maybe pick up some loot or something—this is Fars, and there are so many good things that the armory and the blacksmith shop alone are almost enough for us to make a fortune......"

"Those things don't belong to the guild yet, where is our share...... No, that's what our superiors mean? ”

"Of course, our boss's boss......"

"Freedom to fly has spoken."

Next to the woman with long hair flowing away, a short player quietly came behind her, then sorted out his clothes, and reported in a low voice: "Rest in place, wait for news from above, and then ...... Always ready to attack. ”

“……”

The white-armored woman holding the helmet did not speak, but stood quietly on the top of the city, slowly closing her eyes, as if enjoying the cold wind and slightly warm sunlight blowing in her face. The short Nan Xiaowu waited for a while, and after making sure that the other party didn't seem to want to explain, he took a deep breath and continued to report in a low voice: "Brother Fengqiao and Big Brother Crazy Star have gone back to clean up the battlefield and haven't come back yet, but they have said before that they will definitely waste their time here for the rest of the team...... Compensate back part of it. ”

"No need."

With a crisp sword groan, the woman backhanded the big sword with a cold aura in front of her, and then folded her hands and rested peacefully on the hilt of her sword: "Being able to keep fighting at all times is already our greatest gain, and the rest of the things are ...... We won't ask for it. ”

“…… Yes? This ......" Nan Xiaowu hesitated for a while, and then responded in a low voice: "But the military master and the other big brothers...... We've already approved our share, are we going to pay it back......"

“…… You can pick and choose if you want. ”

The sound of the sword groaning with a low hum constantly echoed in the air in front of the woman, and she felt it carefully, savored it, and then slowly opened her eyes as another group of players passed by the gate at her feet: "Now I ...... Enough is enough. ”

"That's not what I said, ...... Captain. ”

A male voice mixed with a smug laugh suddenly sounded in the direction of the other side of the city wall, and then gradually approached with his chuckle, and gradually came to the woman's side: "This is one of the most important fortresses in the principality, not to mention the reserves and materials it possesses, the high-end goods contained in those trophies alone are enough to open the eyes of us imperial players." ”

"Such a good opportunity to upgrade...... The man pulled out a sword flower from the saber in his hand, then withdrew his weapon, and looked at the woman's long sword, which had stopped trembling: "Why give up?" ”

“…… What are you here to do? The woman asked, without turning her head.

"I'm here to see our heroes." Liangchen Meiyu quietly covered up the stab wound on the wrist she had just received when she stopped the reporting soldiers: "By the way, I will bring you the reward decided by the imperial side." ”

"Adventurer Snow Spirit Ice: In view of your heroic performance in the Battle of Fars Fortress and your courage to die in the capture of the East Gate, you are hereby awarded the Imperial First Class Meritorious Service Award and the title of Honorary Sergeant - General Bernard, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Front." He raised the parchment in his hand, read it for a while, and then folded his hands and handed it to the woman: "Congratulations to the captain of our snow team, it seems that the title of 'Ice and Snow Goddess' will also spread throughout the army of the empire." ”

“……”

The woman did not answer immediately, but took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out: "You guys......"

"It's really well-intentioned."

She stretched out a hand, took the beautifully decorated piece of parchment with slow movements, and then squeezed it hard, and put it back on the hilt of the sword in front of her: "Presumably...... Last night's assault order and candidates were also specially arranged by you, right? ”

"That's to make the most of the characteristics of each member of our guild." Liangchen Meiyu replied in a soft voice: "Not everyone is good at fighting tough battles, your tactics and calm personality ...... It's already the most suitable for that situation, plus this long sword I gave you...... I can guarantee that there aren't many people in melee who are qualified to be your opponents. ”

"There weren't a few people...... Is it? ”

The woman's voice sighed lowly, and then she looked up at the sky, as if immersed in some kind of memory: "The people of the rivers and lakes and the sword of justice have long been withdrawn, and the broken mountains and rivers have not appeared, and we were able to win last night's victory, almost entirely by the opponent's abandonment, like this...... Can it also be said to be a manifestation of strength? ”

"They didn't show up, that's their business." Liangchen Meiyu covered the light in her eyes with her hand, and then said with a low smile: "As for how to keep them from appearing...... That's what we're capable of, and no one can say anything. ”

“…… You? ”

"Don't worry, this battle is a battle that we fought in a dignified manner, even those clowns on the forum can't say anything vicious." The corners of Liangchen Meiyu's mouth curled, and she once again showed a warm smile: "At that time, we will also mobilize the power of the 'masses' to tilt the wind of public opinion to our side." ”

"Rest assured, I will do my best to bring the whole free world ...... Delivered to you. He took another step forward and walked to Xue Ling's side: "You don't have to work so hard to ...... yourself anymore"

"I didn't want that." The woman quietly took a step to the right, and then with two cold gazes, she forced back the man who wanted to get closer: "No matter what other plans you have, after this battle...... I'll leave. ”

"The next time for the snow team will be used to prepare for the League Cup." She said coldly: "I don't want to see the news that we were all eliminated at the beginning in the final final. ”

“…… We are all entangled in the free world, and we are not a guild that is affected. Liangchen Meiyu spread her hands and comforted: "Isn't the broken mountains and rivers of the rivers and lakes a proof?" The old man who broke the wind and thunder was already old, and he couldn't set off too much wind and waves, and the same was true of Arashi Mountain and Dawn Glory, and the only sword of justice that needed to be paid attention to had been thoroughly studied by us early, so ......"

"The final of the team competition is no longer a problem for us, the only thing we need to pay attention to is the individual competition." His voice also deepened: "In the past few days, I have sent people to prepare to see when they will arrive in Hualan City......

"What are you going to do?" The woman suddenly turned her head and asked in a cold voice.

“…… Just wanted to study them again. The man immediately waved his hand: "Nothing else." ”

“…… I warn you, there are other people who are in charge of the game. The woman's voice lowered a little, but her tone became colder: "Don't try to disrupt the order of the entire game world, even if it is for the benefit of the company, such a thing can't be done, the specific reason, you people who have been working for so long, should know better than me in your heart......"

"Liao Zhishan's incident is the best warning." With both hands, she drew her longsword, and then left the place along the other side of the wall with the short player: "Do it yourself." ”

"Humph......"

Looking at the back of the white armor that was gradually moving away, a cold snort came out of the man's nose: "No one does this for you, how long do you think you will stand firm on it......"

"Big brother—"

A shout from afar sounded behind the whispering man, and he turned to look, only to see a player with a big sword on his back panting and running in front of him: "Report big brother...... The team members who had gone to the armory returned. ”

"Good! How's the catch? ”

"They, they didn't bring anything back......"

"What?"

"The Imperials forcibly broke the door of the armory and then broke in with us." The player spoke very quickly, as if reproducing the anxiety of the crowd at that time: "But...... When we went in, we found nothing. ”

"Inside...... is empty. ”

"Impossible! The battle was so fierce that they still had time to remove all the loot? Liangchen Meiyu monster shouted: "Are they all gods and men?" ”

"This, this ......" the player replied with a smile, "We don't know why, we only occasionally heard a rumor in the forum section of the principality players......"

"The Principality's armory is actually a projection of magic." He whispered, "The actual location is not our Fars Fortress. ”

Bang!

The man gasped and glared at the other party for a long time, and the last punch slammed into the edge of the tattered city wall: "...... Good, good! ”

"This time you've won, Broken Wind Thunder."

He looked at the retreating figures that could still be seen in the distance of the plain under the city wall, where the Talonian Avenue pointed: "Let you be proud for two more days, you ......"

"Lost dog!"

***************************

"Alas......"

On March 11, 2135, when the sun was warm, a man in an ordinary cheap sportswear stood on a street corner in Hualan City with his hands in his pockets, like an ordinary passerby, whistling idly while sighing and looking up at the sky: "Is it that I have done too little good things recently, so I don't have enough character to save up......

"Even such a thing can happen...... Alas. ”

He muttered to himself in frustration, and at the same time tried to pretend that no one would notice, and just stood there dryly: "If only you didn't recognize me, there will be a prevarication when the time comes......"

According to the method discussed before, Duan Qing finally nodded and agreed to this offline gathering, and then put on a set of clothes that he only could get his hands on, and came to the pre-agreed place, waiting for the arrival of the others - due to the inexplicable changes in Tania City, the lives of all the members and prospective members of the Fool Adventure Group in the past few days can only be described in four words: bleak, not only completely cut off the source of business, but even ordinary appearances have become unattainable. They suddenly became wanted criminals, hiding in all corners of the city every day, and sometimes had to give up the commissions they had received, in order to avoid the guards who had received a secret report and chased after them, not to mention that now that the fortress has become more noisy because of the loss of the fortress, all the people in the city have entered a state of grass and trees, and they are even more suspicious of these suspicious characters. It was as if they had already been regarded as collaborators. So even though the whispering and secret whispering Ning Lan were excited every day and enjoyed this life of hiding, the rest of the team was still miserable by such a depressing life, and then put all their anger on the "culprit" who caused this incident.

So under the oppression of the power, Duan Qing had no choice but to agree to the decision of the team to meet offline, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a way to avoid the growing crisis of life in the city.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Bored and a little scared, he stomped on his toes, leaned against Duan Qing on the corner of the street to estimate the time, and then looked at the left and right here with some trepidation: "It can't be that you really can't recognize me, right?" ”

"Hey, you're ......"

A female voice from a distance around the corner of the street reached Duan Qing's ears along the breeze blowing on the side of the street, and then, like a freeze-frame animation, stopped all his somewhat anxious movements: "Do you know an uncle named Mo Shang Qingshan?" ”

"No......"

The body became stiff inexplicably, Duan Qing quietly turned his head, and then followed the source of the voice, and saw a girl wearing a white knitted hat with her hands behind her back, as if asking passers-by: "It seems ......"

"The hour of judgment has come." He muttered to himself.
