"Attack! Give me offense! ”

At the same time, near the Friedham Stone Forest on the outskirts of Liberty City, the temporary campsite that had been used as a transit point had now become the center of the battlefield, surrounded by groups of men in black. Some of the newly built facades and decorations along the street have been torn to pieces, and most of the wooden fences and temporary protective facilities that serve as fences have been destroyed, but all this is not the most important thing in the eyes of the smiling uncle at this time.

"Wheat! You go to the right wing, it's about to be overwhelmed over there! ”

Holding a brand-new tabula rasa shield in his hand, Uncle Smiling shouted loudly to the wind blowing wheat waves around him, while directing the other players who were still gathering here to perform their respective defensive tasks around the camp, the air waves set off by the explosion accompanied by the brilliance of various magic flashed around that direction at the same time, and the corpses of several players flew into the air, but compared to the player brigade that was still rushing forward, the white light turned by these people seemed to be just a drop in the ocean: "Dare to attack our camp?" It's greasy, isn't it? ”

"It doesn't matter if it's the Frey Empire or the Magic Empire...... I'm going to have to die here today! ”

"Rush up to the brothers, let them see how powerful our West City Gate is carrying the handle!"

"Cut me! Cut them back into the Starwind Plains! ”

"I said ......"

Looking at the edge of the increasingly fierce battlefield, a sword helped Uncle Smiling cut down the braised crab of the enemy in front of him and sighed slightly: "Do these guys like this camp so much?" One by one, they are so desperate......"

"Probably our previous service was better."

Two steps forward to block the next enemy's attack, Uncle Smiling flipped over the shield and flew the person's body, and then before the gap in the local battle line was blocked again, a sword pierced the waist and ribs of an enemy next to him: "Didn't you hear them shouting 'our' camp?" Since they want to see this place as their home, we don't have much to say......

"Impossible, just a few of us?" The braised crab raised his sword and slashed, helping Uncle Smiling slowly withdraw: "We don't even have the name of the guild......"

"So that's the importance of word of mouth."

Commanding the shieldmen around him to form a unified defensive line, Uncle Smiling replied with a smile: "No matter what our background is, whether there are any golden signs, as long as we do well enough, we will definitely be able to get the approval of others, sooner or later is actually not a big deal for me, after all, I have enough leisure time now, if there are no other problems, I may spend the rest of my life running this small camp......"

"If there are no other problems."

Repeating this sentence, his eyes fell on the figure of the enemy who was also retreating: "It's a pity, someone will really come to the bad thing at this time......"

"The appointment with Mo Shang Qingshan is about to arrive." The braised crab's face gradually became solemn: "You can see what it looks like now...... Do we still have a chance to evacuate? ”

"And the hell weather." The smiling butcher looked up at the gloomy sky: "Although I knew that something would happen here sooner or later when Qingshan asked me those questions, I didn't expect it...... This last black cloud came so quickly. ”

"You mean...... Is there a player behind it all? ”

"Isn't it rumored that there are players among the Restorationists involved in this matter for a long time?"

Pointing to the black-clothed people who had retreated to the depths of the stone forest, the smiling uncle holding the big shield slowly straightened up: "Wait, don't look at us that we are quite relaxed now, maybe we will ...... later"

His words disappeared abruptly, and at the same time, he looked at the crowd of people in the distance, his mouth gradually opened a little, and the earth-shattering shouts became louder and louder with the appearance of those black-clothed people who appeared at the end of the horizon of the water and sky, suppressing the clamor of the players who were originally active around, but the fireballs with fire were the first to rise from the clouds in that direction and fell in the direction where the stone forest camp was located: "So many people? ”

"And the fireball so far away...... Get down! Get down! ”

Boom Boom –

The incessant sound of explosions then flooded the small makeshift camp, turning most of the surviving buildings into fragmented rubble, and in the light and shadow of several unlucky players, Uncle Smiling, who was still struggling under the roar of the cannonballs, took the lead in standing up, coughing and retreating to the river behind the camp: "Ahem, cough, cough...... Give me all back! Pulling the distance, regrouping, we'...... Belch. ”

In the explosion that seemed to never stop, a fireball still flying in mid-air turned in a strange direction, and then pulled a long trajectory, accurately landing on the surface of the shield raised by Uncle Smiling, mixed with a muffled roar, and then blasted back all the orders he originally wanted to shout, and also made the scarred shield warrior roll down to the back of the camp, the shield that flew out of his hand and the figure that looked like he was covered in smoke seemed to be signaling the fall of their teamfight commander to the other players who were about to crack: " But, damn it! ”

"The brethren fought with them!"

"No, no! With such a fierce artillery fire, isn't it sent to death now? ”

"Then what should I do, lie here and wait for death?"

"Hey, hey, uncle!"

Surrounded by heavy black smoke and dust, the braised crab crawled and rolled in front of the black shadow that fell to the ground: "Are you still alive?" ”

"Ahem, ahem...... There is still half a breath. The middle-aged man lying on the ground gasped for a few breaths, and then listened to the buzzing sound that still echoed in his ears and the shouting of killing that was getting closer: "They...... Is it going to rush up again? ”

"According to the normal routine, we should be ready for a new round of impact." As if he had come to the conclusion that the other party was fine, the braised crab let out a big breath, and looked at the smoke-shrouded battlefield behind him, but it gradually became bitter: "Our people have been plowed, it should be unstoppable, I see ......"

"Knights! Attack—"

A loud shout interrupted the words of the braised crab, and also made the other players present turn their eyes in unison, and what caught their eyes was the left flank of the battle line, and the figures of the principality guards who returned to the battlefield at this time, as fighters who were set to be much higher than the average player, these guards from the Tania City Guard did burst out with amazing combat power, and the black-clothed enemies who originally rushed forward again were also easily blocked by the phalanx composed of only a few dozen heavily armed guards:" Smiling Butcher Your Excellency! ”

The loud shout gradually approached, and at the same time appeared the figure belonging to the captain of the garrison, Jason: "We are responsible for the defense here, you better retreat quickly!" ”

"How is it possible, this is not a principality town, just a small camp for adventurers." The smiling butcher replied with difficulty, "You have no reason to guard this place for us......"

"But we have orders from the Commander." Captain Jason, who usually goes by the pseudonym Hansen, said without looking back: "And...... It is a soldier's duty to protect you, and we will not abandon you. ”

"Although this sentence sounds very touching, you N...... The lives of you people are not comparable to the lives of us adventurers. The smiling butcher smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we don't survive, we're just a good man in twenty years, but if you die...... How can I explain this to your commanders? ”

"Don't worry, we'll make it back alive." Jason replied loudly, "Please tell Aoyama-sama that we will definitely complete our mission and then join them in the city." ”

"Please leave, Uncle Smiling." His voice slowly lowered: "We are soldiers, and this is our duty. ”

“…… All right. ”

After a slight silence for a moment, the smiling butcher slowly stood up with the help of the braised crab, and made a retreat movement towards the players around him, while looking at the battlefield that was still intertwined in the distance: "I will let the other adventurers leave, but I will stay here." ”

"What?" Jason, who was walking forward, hurriedly turned his head: "What are you doing here?" You have to leave, too! ”

"If everyone leaves, who will oversee your mission?" The smiling butcher smiled: "Don't forget Aoyama's words before leaving. ”

"But it's dangerous here, and you're so badly injured." Jason's face sank: "You should go to a doctor, instead of staying here and dragging us back!" ”

"You even say I'm a dragger? After living so much and taking risks for so many years, I can't think I haven't heard of it. ”

"I'll admit you've helped us a lot in the garrison mission, but it's war! Even if you don't think about your own safety, at least you should think about winning the battle! ”

"War? That thing has nothing to do with us adventurers, the only standard of action we have in mind...... It's to bring all my companions back alive. ”

"You're arguing with words, what else can this be if it's not war? If you don't leave, the next wave of bombardment will come soon...... Guardsman! Take these two away! ”

"Wait......"

The phalanx of the battlefield loosened slightly with this small change in the rear, and then gathered together again in the whistling sound of the air again, because as the black-clad enemies retreated again, a new round of magical bombardment also enveloped the camp with a colorful light. Some players who didn't have time to retreat also hurriedly took out their various skills, and made defensive moves with the guards present, but the magical light that was still floating in the air turned in unison in some strange manipulation, and converged towards the place where Uncle Smiling and Jason were.

"I see......"

The terrifying aura shattered the despair that was about to envelop everyone's heads, and a sharp sword aura pierced through the middle of those fireball shells, and in the huge fireworks caused by the destruction of magic, the whisper that had sounded before still echoed in everyone's ears unhindered: "Guided magical fire covers...... The technology of the Ancient Magic Empire is really not to be underestimated. ”

"You ......"

Everyone turned to the ruins of the camp behind them, and a standing figure loomed behind the smoke, wiping the blade of the sword in his hand while unloading the huge wooden box behind him: "You are friends and subordinates of Moshang Qingshan...... Right? ”

"Uh, yes......"

"Then let's go, I'm here to pick you up."

The figure of the sword did not pay attention to the smiling uncle who stood up again, but looked up at the cloudy sky: "The storm is coming......

"We still have a lot of work to do."

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

"That's it, sir."

In the City Lord's Mansion of the Free City, in the City Lord's Arena, Ning Lan, who was smiling, explained what she knew lightly, and then said with a low smile: "The battle situation outside the city is gradually becoming fierce, and the farthest away Friedham Stone Forest doesn't know what it will become, but with the strength of Sword Beidong...... They should return safely. ”

"If all the major access roads are blocked, then the route of retreat is also a problem." Duan Qing said with a little worry: "If it is not handled properly, there may be significant losses in this convergence......

"No, it won't." Whispering Ning Lan replied with a smile: "You haven't seen what Jian Beidong looks like now, his strength is not what it used to be, it should be no problem for him to deal with this matter." ”

"Really?" The whisper on the side crossed his arms and shook his head: "You haven't seen the old-fashioned of those NPCs, and it's not an easy task to bring them back safely......

"It doesn't matter if you don't finish it." Duan Qing suddenly sighed: "Anyway, it shouldn't be a safe place in the city now......"

"Sir is right." Secret Ning Lan also smiled and nodded: "Ning Lan also saw a lot of abnormalities when she came, and now she wants to come...... I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Abnormal?" Whispering asked suspiciously, "Apart from these ill-intentioned guys sitting here, is there anything else worth noting in this city?" ”

"Of course it'......"

"Let's wait for the rest, we've kept others waiting too long."

Whispering these words, Duan Qing waved his hand to the teammates around him, then turned around and looked at a certain heavily armored figure who had been waiting behind him for a long time, Reiner, who stood still like a rock, didn't seem to have any impatience, and bowed to Duan Qing slightly, and then pointed in the direction of the maid player behind him with a questioning tone: "This young lady...... Are you also a member of your party? ”

"If you don't believe me, you can check the registration information of the Adventurers' Guild." Duan Qing smiled and returned the salute: "Our Fool Adventure Group treats people with sincerity and never deceives, so everyone here can rest assured." ”

"In that case...... Let's move on to the next one. ”

Nodding in the direction of the city lord on the high platform, the silver black knight said in a dull voice, and then turned sideways again, letting out the few figures who were already standing in the arena behind him: "The next to play is Lord Eduan, of course, he didn't choose to go down in person, so he still chose a few adventurers under his command to replace, please be ready." ”

"Hey."

As the converging line of sight gradually became clearer, the figures of several players were also displayed in front of Duan Qing in turn, as if they had expected Duan Qing's surprise, and the player in the lead also took the lead to say hello: "See you again, Your Excellency Qingshan." ”

“…… I see. ”

Looking at the guy named Jack, Duan Qing sighed deeply, then reached out to cover his face and pressed his forehead, which was becoming more and more painful.

"So it's you."
