Chapter 170: Choice XI

Above the empty sea, three wind ships are cutting out of the pouring cold rain.

The herald crossed the deck, pushed open the hatch and entered the command bridge located in the magic pod, walked through the crowd, walked up to the command bridge, approached the several officers standing there, and whispered, "Captain, there is a herald from a special channel. ”

The young officer looked back: "What number?" ”

"Five."

"Target?"

"Codename Greyland."

The officer's face changed and he looked at the others around him, and the political commissar also had a look of surprise on his face. The two exchanged glances, then nodded.

The young captain turned around, turned his back to the core crystal on the command bridge, and ordered everyone:

"The whole ship obeyed the order, deviated from the current course, and turned north-"

"Target coordinates H133275 and H130289, full speed."

"Target coordinates H133275 and H130289, full speed, received."

Immediately, there was a river in the bridge of the command ship, and the magically encrypted message was sent out through the communication crystal, and transmitted to the other two wind ships thousands of meters away.

The captain turned his head and looked over the rainy sea of clouds, where the undulating and rolling clouds outlined the dim boundary between the sky and the sea.

But in that direction, in his field of vision, above the clouds in the distant sky, a little dark red brilliance suddenly flashed.

The trail of fireflies slowly moves along the clouds.

Is that......

"It's the Liupanshui ship," the communications officer below immediately spoke, "he's signaling us that they're turning towards the Elpahim target area." ”

"Second detachment," the captain turned to look at his partner, "how many of our ships have entered the Rainbow Sky Gap at this moment?" ”

"At least half of the forces in Crosswind and Luanse are in a state of emergency deployment, and our fleet is heading north via Fenris or the Southern Route," the political commissar said, "At least the second and third detachments we can contact at the moment, but there are also many others who are entering this area or have already entered. ”

"Okay," the former decided: "Turn on the wind elemental detectors, and we'll send them a signal as well." ”

The herald hesitated slightly.

"By the specifications of the Charter City operation?"

"No," the captain shook his head, "this time it's higher than the last one, and this time it's a decisive battle." This is the No. 5 secret order, which is broadcast directly to the full frequency band, and the identity can be disclosed. ”

"Tell them that Stargate Harbor has recruited every Chosen One to respond, and that this is a war for allβ€”"

……

The huge mass of ships is like a towering wall above the empty sea, through the cold rain, slowly moving towards the north.

The Flowers of Heaven stood alone in the heavy rain, which soaked through his clothes and dripped down his armor, but he put his hand on the side of the ship as if he were unconscious, and silently watched the crimson sail in the distance.

Ahead, the outline of a continental margin has emerged from view, and the obscure edge of air and land has cut through the clouds and zigzags northward, as if there is no end in sight.

There is the Rainbow Sky Gorge, whose appearance has hardly changed since the time of the Ethorin Scourgeβ€”

Eternal Night's somewhat calm tone came from the communication crystal: "Heaven, we have entered the Rainbow Sky Gorge, and we are only one hundred and twenty miles away from Gula Harbor. ”

"Can you increase your speed?"

"Yes, it's just ...... weather"

Heavenly Flower Fall looked up, and the rain that fell was so cold that it almost turned into ice, and the rain was mixed with snowflakes, as if it was a sign that they had entered the northern realm.

"No matter what," he began, "the whole ship is full sails, full speed ahead, the silence of the communication is lifted, and the identity is revealed to everyone." ”

He paused, "Tell them what we're here for." ”

The northern part of the Sea of Clouds seems to have suddenly become noisy.

The Second Fleet of Moon Dust, which was cruising in the direction of the Rainbow Sky Gorge, seemed to suddenly find that a shining spot of light had appeared on its Wind Element Detector.

The detective almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes, and he couldn't help but rub his eyelids vigorously and look at them again. Then he screamed and bounced out of his seat:

"There was a huge amount of wind elemental reaction ahead, a huge amount! Huge amount! ”

The entire fleet sounded the alarm almost immediately, and a piercing siren sounded through the clouds.

The fleet slowly turned, and with the flagship Maragor as a reference, eleven large and small wind-skiers lined up a standard battle line formation to the south.

The gunners took their positions one after another, and one by one they opened the gun doors.

But on the command bridge, the fleet commander looked at his deputy, and the two of them looked a little stunned at the moment with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"What should I do?"

The fleet commander looked at the image of the officer on the top of the crystal, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

The other party claimed to be the first detachment of the People's Navy of the Republic in Aitalia, numbered 133 ship, and demanded that they immediately be lifted from combat readiness and respond to the call.

But this is diametrically opposed to the order from the side of the descendants of Flor, only the opposite is the opposite, how dare they attack the navy of the Republic?

But he saw a flash of surprise on his deputy's face, and the other party raised the communication crystal in his hand and said excitedly, "There's news from the guild." ”

"They asked us to immediately respond to the call of Stargate Port and join the naval sequence."

"What did they tell us to do?"

The deputy looked at him and hesitated: "Obey all orders......"

The commander was slightly stunned, but as if relieved, he nodded slightly.

"We accept."

The entire Rainbow Sky Gorge is sailing on every wind boat here at this moment.

In their wind elemental detectors, the stars were lighting up, pulling out long tracks from south to north.

The captains who didn't know what was going on were watching with some amazement at the dark red light rising from the dark clouds.

What's going on here......?

That's on the minds of almost all Aboriginal captains.

……

Bai Xue put down the communication crystal in her hand, and with a light touch of her hand, she turned off the light screen.

Only then did she turn her head, look at the people around her teasingly, and said proudly: "How is it, light dye, do you hear me?" ”

Guangran glanced at her angrily, but did not answer, only silently took out a seal from his pocket, pinned it to his collar, and said in a sullen voice: "The president's order has arrived, just carry out the order, what are you doing with so much nonsense." ”

Bai Xue raised her eyebrows proudly: "Are you angry?" ”

"Bai Xue, do you know why other people prefer Her Royal Highness the princess a little more?"

"You-"

A smile froze on Bai Xue's face, and he looked at each other with a bite of silver teeth.

But Hikaran looked at her, shook his head, turned around and walked forward, and dropped a sentence: "I'll go to the branch, you mobilize the others." ”

As if hearing this, Bai Xue reacted, snorted angrily, and walked towards the side of the corridor.

But everyone in the hall was ready, and they were retracting their gaze from the crystal, and they all turned their gaze in this direction, and landed on Bai Xue:

"Miss White."

"Miss Bai Xue, what do you command?"

The knights pressed their swords to their hilts, and Silver Vislan's usual way of acting was to walk in a straight line, and now that the situation was clear, all they were waiting for was an order.

Bai Xue looked at everyone in the hall, put on his helmet with both hands, and then pulled up the shield, sweeping over everyone with a flickering cold light.

Then she spoke angrily:

"Everyone, follow me."

"Target Star and Moon Tower, all those who stand in your way, whether it's the Crowclaw Sanctuary or the Descendants of Flore, will be killed."

She pressed her hand on her saber: "Let's goβ€”"

At this moment, the same scene is playing out among countless different guilds in the north.

The moment the windows in the system closed, the Electors wore the seals of the Star Gate, and were walking out of the halls of the adventurer's guilds, from the towers of the Craftsmen's Guild, from the libraries of the Silver Tower, and from the halls of inns and bars.

They silently gathered together and marched towards the nearest target set out on the call-up order.

So from Kapka to Rodale, and even between the countryside of Al Pahim and Gulla, the natives watched in amazement at what was happening in front of them.

The Electors, who had seldom formed an organization in their eyes, were silently converging into a torrent.

But in Al Pahin, the surprise in the hearts of most of the indigenous people is not over, and the artisan union in the third district has opened all the doors at the same time.

Those high-level craftsmen are rushing out, and in the airport, the floating battleships belonging to the artisan association are also leaving their berths one after another.

Echoing this is the brightly lit Sanctuary of the Three Maidens in the lower part of the city, where clergy and Templars in different neighborhoods are converging back to the temple from all directions.

The whole north seemed to move in an instantβ€”

……

Tower of Stars and Moon, inside the Hall of Echoes.

The Moon Crystal trembled slightly, emitting a buzzing sound from within it, and the muffled murmur that was constant was the only sound in the hall at the moment.

The Grand Speaker stood aside, and when he saw Fang Yu withdraw his hand, he spoke: "You are late, the one of the three crystals located in Gula has already been activated a day ago. ”

"I know," Fang Plover was not surprised, the Patriarch of Altori had already said this, but he looked back at the Great Wizard and didn't seem surprised by the other party's calmness: "Mr. Speaker, it seems that you don't trust the Ravental Temple?" ”

Flagg replied, "Yes, I had some suspicions, but it didn't have anything to do with us in the first place. ”

"And now?"

"Now the Star and Moon Council will stand firmly on His Highness's side, and whatever you may ask us to do, we will do our best to meet them."

Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at his Miss Dragon Soul again, it seemed that the connection between the Star and Moon Council and Miss Tata was deeper than he imagined.

It's a pity that Tata himself doesn't know all this, his heart is like a cat's claw, but he can't know the answer.

Flagg asked again, "So what are you and Your Highness going to do next?" Two of the three crystals and two anchors are gone, do you plan to find the other crystals and anchors in the rest of the time? But the other party has been arranging for so long, I'm afraid he won't sit still, it won't be an easy thing-"

"I understand," Fang Yu took a breath, obviously not unprepared for the situation, "but I at least know that there is a crystal in Elpahim, and another anchor may be there. We have to go to that place next, but at the moment we are not enough. ”

"That's why you're here?"

Fang Yu nodded.

But he still needs to wait for something.

In just a moment, his communication crystal lit up, and from within came a voice that was both unfamiliar to him, but somewhat familiar: "Ed, is everything you said true?" ”

"President Dawn."

Fang Yu said in some surprise, he had expected someone to contact him, but he didn't expect that the first one would be the helmsman of Silver Veslan.

He paused before speaking, "What I have recorded comes from the mouth of the Patriarch of the Diocese of the Crowtalon Temple in the Altoria region, and I am very sure that everything he says is true. ”

"You've done a good job, Ed," Dawn's tone softened, "Odin and I were right. ”

"President?"

"What are you going to do next," Dawn asked, "I've sent people to the Tower of Stars and Moon, how do you need us to help you?" ”

"President Dawn, Gulla's crystal has been activated," Fang Yu hurriedly replied with a straight expression, "We must go to Elpahim right now, I suspect that the second crystal is in that place." ”

"The power of the Elpahim natives is strong," Dawn muttered, "None of the Rainbow Alliance's major guilds in the north have a presence there, and if the Shadow Shadow controls the upper echelons of the Alliance and the kingdom, there will probably be considerable resistance for us to enter that place." ”

Fang Yu nodded, this was the reason why he came to Gula first.

But he was about to speak, when suddenly the Tower of Stars and Moon interrupted his words with a violent shaking, and the communication was interrupted.

Fang Yu could barely hold the communication crystal in his hand, so it flew out and landed on it. The communication crystal lit up, and in a moment, a hurried voice came from inside that replaced the voice of the morning light:

"Commander Ed, it's the ...... of the City Guards"

"The city guards are moving on a large scale, and they are already surrounding this direction."

"And the heavenly ...... There's something strange in the sky. ”

Fang Yu immediately heard the owner of the voice.

It was Blackcomb's group.

……

Hour Palm Fort.

The door to the study was gently pushed open by a ghostly hand.

The Governor of Gura Harbor looked at the uninvited 'guests' with some horror, as if he had forgotten the fact that he was being pressed to his seat, and subconsciously wanted to step back, but he was only writhing his fat body in place.

The 'guest' at the head looked at the wretched creature who was almost paralyzed in his chair, his face pale as chaff, and pursed his lips with some teasing, and with his hand he removed the cloak and hood that was draped over his head, revealing a pale and emaciated countenance from below.

The archon recognized the face in front of him, and the fleshy face was momentarily surprised and mixed, but then turned into a deeper fear: "You, you are ......"

"We had a good time working together, Your Excellency," the guest smiled, "but now we need one last favor from you." ”

The fat on the archon's face was about to tremble and twisted: "There is something to say, I can cooperate with whatever you need, I, I am the heir of the Contepera family...... Iβ€”I can help you with a lot of things...... Please, don't kill me......"

"Oh?" The 'guest' smiled: "Is it really okay to do anything?" Then we hope that His Excellency the Archon will rest with peace of mind and hand over the port of Gula to us. ”

"W-What!?"

The moment the 'guest' said the last word, the tone seemed to be elongated infinitely, his pale countenance distorted, and purple flames erupted from his sunken eyes, nostrils, and mouth, tearing through his skin in an instant, igniting his clothes and cloak. A silhouette gradually formed in the billowing flames, as if it were a tall humanoid creature, outstretched its right hand, and pressed his forehead under the horrified gaze of the archonβ€”

About a quarter of an hour later.

To the somewhat surprised gaze of the servants, their consul appeared at the castle at this point, and accompanied by the group, boarded a carriage that had been waiting there for a long time.

The carriage quickly left the Hour Needle Fort and headed for the town hall.

……

Putting down the communication crystal in his hand, Canghai Guzhou raised his hand, ready to give the order to cut off the communication between the whole fleet and the outside world.

But a hand reached out from behind to hold him down, and he looked back to see the cautiousness in Jory's gray eyes, "Listen to this recording." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Canghai Guzhou's eyes, but although the two had not been working together for a long time, they had formed a considerable tacit understanding, and he stopped: "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao Li shook his head and lowered his voice: "We can't attack the Skyfire Guild, there's a problem here, Guzhou." Before giving an order, you may want to ask the president for advice. ”

Canghai Guzhou was slightly stunned, but in fact, he also felt a little strange in his heart, "Do you think there is a problem with this order?" Suddenly, his face changed, for he saw a sword suddenly appear from Jory's neck.

Canghai Guzhou's gaze calmed down, because in the same way, a sharp sword with cold light flickered on his neck.

"Lingluo, what are you going to do?"

"Commander," said the man with the sword around his neck, "we have also received orders, and if you intend to disobey orders, then let us take over the fleet from above." ”

"Commander, don't blame us, this is also an order from the club. By the way, don't ask for trouble, the people at the resurrection point should also do it, Commander, don't waste your efforts. ”

Canghai Guzhou looked at the front motionlessly, and asked calmly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Cut off the external communication of the entire fleet, carry out the order, and fire on the fleet of the Skyfire Guild."

"Okay." The lonely boat raised his hand.

The man looked at them with a satisfied look on his face: "Wise move." ”

At the same time, on the lower deck of the Crimson Queen, two sneaky figures were making their way through the crowded utility room.

Kaka and the Six Shadows carefully squeezed through the passages full of goods, and came under a gas window before stopping.

This was already the anchor room, and a huge iron chain passed over the heads of the two men, and passed through the anchor hole not far away, and a pair of iron anchors of the Crimson Queen were fixed outside. The anchor chamber was empty, and Kaka looked around, found a large wooden box nearby, and swept the dust from it with his hand.

"What the hell are you doing?" Six Shadows finally couldn't stand the other party's whims, "Do you know that we have violated discipline, maybe there are some wartime laws or something, you better explain this matter to me." ”

She lifted her forehead: "...... Why would I listen to your? ”

"Because I need your help, we're partners, you won't leave me alone, right?" Kaka put his hand on the wooden box and tugged hard, but he didn't move at all: "Quick, come and take the handle." ”

"Shut up, I'm going back, before those people find out we're slipping, what the hell are you doing with this guy's guts?" Six Shadows gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Why is it always so lawless-lawless!" ”

Kaka gestured to the window on the ceiling to whisper, and the figure flickered on the grille window, "I think you'd better not go back, there's something going on outside." ”

"Change?" The girl looked at the man suspiciously.

"Remember what I told you before?"

Kaka simply leaned into the box and turned around and said, "From the very beginning, this operation was full of anomalies, not to mention the live broadcast arranged by the descendants of Flor, it always makes people feel deliberate. The end result of the mobilization is not cost-effective in any case, which is not in line with our usual style, is it? ”

"It's not so much a show of strength, it's a deliberate demonstration, to whom? Who is there to make us demonstrate? It's full of things that are not right to think about it, and I have heard something before this...... Forget it, it's useless to say that, but if it was just a guess before, I've confirmed it now. ”

Six Shadows felt that his brain began to bulge again, and gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"There was a mutiny on the bridge, and now the command of the fleet is no longer in the hands of our commander."

"What?"

Six Shadows' voices were all eight tones higher, but Kaka reacted faster and hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand.

The girl pulled away his hand with a look of disgust, "Let go of me, bah! ”

She took two steps back and looked at Kaka suspiciously, "How do I feel that you are lying to me, you have been with me since the beginning, how do you know what is going on on the bridge?" ”

Kaka tossed the gadgets in his hand and whispered, "Have you forgotten what kind of profession I am?" ”

Six Shadows looked at the clockwork fairy with some horror, his good-looking eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "You dare to peep into the things on the other side of the bridge, if you are discovered, you will be finished, no, I will be finished with youβ€”β€”! "Isn't it undiscovered?"

"You bastard, after this mission is over, I must apply to clear up with you, I want to change partners, must! No, I can't wait for the mission to be over, I'm going to do this now-"

But before the Six Shadows could finish speaking, the Crimson Queen suddenly shook violently, causing her to fall to the ground.

It's just that Kaka on the side seemed to have expected it, holding the wooden box with his hand, and after the violent vibration, there was immediately a roar like thunder. He held on to the wooden box, and climbed up with dexterity, then hung the iron ring on the anchor chain with his hand, stood on tiptoe, and looked out from the great anchor holeβ€”

A sparkling light reflected his face in snow-white.

"What's going on," Six Shadows asked in a trembling voice as they sat on the ground, "Are we being attacked?" ”

"No, they did it to the Skyfire Fleet."

"What, isn't the Skyfire Fleet our ally?"

"It used to be, but it may not be now, and I can't even say which side we belong to." Kaka looked back.

"But......" The girl was a little incredulous, but she finally believed everything the other party said before, "...... What should we do now? ”

"The two of us can't even protect ourselves," Kaka replied, "and we'll have to help sooner." ”

"Who?"

"I'm actually already a little bit of an eyebrow."
