"This is it, it's one of the spillouts of the Shijiu River, but the sluice hasn't been used in years."

Pol stopped in front of a rusty iron door, and looked around, and in the darkness was a fairly large space, and not far away the long dried underground river could be seen.

"Floodway?" The voice of the Paparal man sounded like a ghost, "Then you are not afraid that someone will open the floodgates and release the water and drown us all in it?" ”

Alyssa reached out and put her forehead on her forehead and sighed, "Winter is the dry season in Talen, Parker. ”

Paparal's round face was a rare redden, but fortunately no one noticed it in the dark, and he hurriedly changed the subject, "Okay, but you know, in the warm Sanshak, there is no dry season and a good season, and there is plenty of rain all year round. ”

"The Hour Needle River is an artificial canal, and in order to solve the problem of water use in Gulla, people bring water from several rivers in the north of Gulla," Pol said. However, in the summer, flash floods and the river overflows, so it has several floodways in the city to divert water during the rainy season, and this is one of them. ”

Fang Yu left aside the argument between them for the time being.

They were actually on the embankment on the side of the floodway, looking around - the underground river here was supposed to be part of the underground drainage system they had seen not long ago.

Not far behind him, several members of Tapolis walked behind and were talking to Sandya and Momiji.

However, it is not surprising that they are always from the same guild and always ask about each other.

Fang Yu looked at it for a moment before pointing to the closed iron door and asked, "What is the place outside?" ”

"Outside is Princess Margaret," replied Pol, "but this area is quite remote, and I've been here a few times by myself, and I don't see a few people even during the day." There are primary and secondary floodways in the canal, and a secondary floodway like this may not be used once in more than ten years, and I used to work on the canal management committee for a while, but I discovered this place by chance......"

He said as he stepped forward and put his hand on the rusty doorknob, inhaled hard, and pushed forward.

At this time, the bottom of the iron door rubbed against the ground and made a piercing scraping sound, and the dust fell from the ceiling, slowly retreating, opening a gap.

Outside it appears to be a wood, and the entrance is hidden in a lush woodland, and the exit is greeted by a dense thicket.

There was a tree-lined avenue, like the one commonly found in parks, and there were several street lamps with magic crystals hanging from them. At this moment, the street lights in the park have been lit up, and through the not-so-bright light, an overgrown river channel in the distance is faintly visible.

There was also an arched bridge over the river covered with vines.

Pol stepped aside, looked at them with some wariness, and said, "Inside is the inner city, I can only send you here." ”

Fang Yu didn't answer, he gently held his hand, and a silver constructor flew out from there.

A little bit of dark red light flickered in the crystal and flew out of the door after half a circle in midair, deftly passing through the canopy and disappearing.

Pol watched with some amazement—he had never seen a clockwork elf like this, let alone a craftsman who could manipulate a construct so dexterously.

Fang Ou asked the Calamity to walk around the neighborhood and confirmed that they were already in the inner city.

He also sensed that there was a barrier above the inner city, which should be a forbidden space, so he made the Calamity lower its altitude in time so as not to alarm the warlocks in the inner city.

Retracting the Calamity, he glanced at Pol, and the surprise in the other party's eyes fell on him, making Fang Yu feel a little proud in his heart.

But it wasn't his success in showing off his skills, which were no longer worth mentioning in his eyes, but the fact that he had succeeded in what he wanted to achieve, which made him feel a little closer to the 'cunning' of Sylvede and Miss Scarpe.

Although it was just a feeling, Fang Yu also felt that this was a great improvement.

He then nodded his head and said, "Yes, but if you don't mind, I hope you can do us a little favor." This should be a no-go thing for you, and of course you have the right to say no. ”

Pol was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, he didn't want to make a fuss, but he also vaguely felt that these people had no malicious intent.

What's more, Fang Yuan's hand before made him realize that this seemingly young alchemist did not seem to be simple, Pol pressed his hand to his chest, and thought silently for a moment, where he was holding the thirty Kaolinian-Ihurian gold coins that Fang Yuan had paid him. After a long time, he looked up and asked:

"What's the busy?"

"Help us deliver a letter," Fang Yu smiled, "Returning from here to the Outer Harbor will pass through Silver Ou Lane, if you have time, you can bring this letter to the people there, okay?" ”

Pol breathed a sigh of relief, but it was just an errand run. He didn't even mention the payment, and nodded directly: "Yes." ”

Fang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little sorry that Sylvid was not here, and did not see her captain behave. He took a letter from his bosom and handed it to the other party. "Silver Gull Lane, two hundred and thirty-one."

Bol didn't say much, silently put away the letter, nodded to them, turned and walked into the passage.

He happened to be staggered by Momiji and Sand Night in that direction, and because of the distance, Tapolis and his party couldn't help but look at each other in surprise before they could figure out what was going on here.

Momiji stepped forward, looked out the door and asked, "Arrived?" ”

Fang Yu nodded.

Momiji pointed to Pol, who was leaving, and asked, "What's going on with that?" ”

"I'll ask him to help deliver a letter," Fang Yu also looked in the direction Pol had left, "Silver Gull Lane, two hundred and thirty-one." ”

"He agreed?" Momiji was a little surprised, how much the young man didn't trust them, she saw it in her eyes.

"It's just a matter of passing the way." Fang Yu replied.

Alyssa glanced at him as if she had seen an invisible, sky-high tail, and couldn't help but be a little amused.

A flash of surprise flashed in Momiji's eyes at this time, and she remembered what that address represented, "The people of Silver Vislan?" ”

Fang Yu nodded seriously, although he had some prejudices about the people of the Rainbow Alliance in his heart, he still wanted to try the attitude of Silver Veslan. In the Super League, Silver Vislan is indeed the most prestigious and well-known one, and they are at least not as impersonal as the other major guilds, and they also have a certain number of free callers.

Many even believe that Silver Vislan is the one who has truly inherited the original intention of the Precursors.

Although these are only on the bright side, for Sophie's sake, Fang Yu will also give the other party a reminder. But as for whether the people of Silver Vislan were willing to believe it, it was their own business, and he couldn't have risked his door at this time.

In fact, he had a better choice, which was to contact Her Royal Highness the princess of the silver Vislan directly, but unfortunately he couldn't do it right now.

He also wrote a letter explaining the situation of Bol and his co-workers, hoping that the people of Silver Vislan would help.

They should have acted in the usual way of the Silver Veslan, the Silver Veslan is a knight who pursues justice, not to mention that sheltering some indigenous miners in this harsh winter is not a burden for them at all.

"Is it okay?" Momiji asked, in her opinion, Silver Vislan was also a member of the Rainbow Alliance anyway.

Fang Yu shook his head. The Rainbow Alliance is not a whole within it, and the alliance between the Grand Guilds is more based on interests than anything else. While most of the time they have aligned interests, more often than not, there are many differences and contradictions within the Great Guild Alliance.

He found that his knowledge of the Descendants of Flor was too shallow, and he saw the other party as an enemy, forgetting that there were many different voices within the enemy. Even though some of the high-ranking members of the Descendant of Flor may have defected to the forces of darkness, not everyone is a believer in darkness, and there is no such possibility.

He knew Odin, and Ragnarok was a member of the Descendants of Flor, but could Odin be a follower of the Dark Saints?

This is undoubtedly a ridiculous thing. But he never thought deeply about it from this direction, which was his dereliction of duty as the head of the regiment, but fortunately he reacted in time.

That's why he decided to go to Gula and his party.

He was more familiar with the Rainbow Alliance than with the Descendants of Flore, and he had been in contact with several factions within the Rainbow Alliance—the Spear of the Silver Forest, the former Tapolis, and now the Silver Vislan. It was too late for him to learn more about the Descendants of Flor, but the Rainbow Alliance could give it a try.

Silver Vislan is the way to go.

He needs a point of borrowing, of course it is best to succeed, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

Fang Yu once again turned his gaze to Sand Night's side, the other party was still answering the question of White Night and the others about Tapolis, and did not notice the conversation between Momiji and him here.

"Miss Sandnight." He spoke.

Sha Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he looked over.

"Outside is the inner city, so please guard this passage next."

Fang Plover needs some reliable people to guard here, there are forbidden sky spells in the inner city, and there should also be things like space laws. If they want to leave the inner city without alarming anyone, they have to go back the way they came.

But before Sand Night could answer, Bai Ye on the side spoke first: "Mr. Ed, why don't we stay and guard here." ”

He paused, "My people don't cooperate much with you, but Sand Night and Xiaokong may be able to help you." ”

Fang Yu looked at them with some surprise, he didn't trust these Tapolis people very much, but the fake conscription order should have a certain deterrent effect on these people. And he'd made it clear before that the Jeffrey Redcoats might not know what was going on right now, and that the Cultists were behind the Ravental Temple.

Unless there are dark believers among these people, the chances of them fighting back are slim.

Moreover, Sandnight had privately told him before that these people were not the middle and upper echelons of Tapolis, and he believed that even if a dark cultist infiltrated Tapolis, it would be impossible for them to control every single one of them.

The Dragon-worshipping cult or the Crow'claw Sanctuary must have bribed some of the higher-ups, but they could never have foreseen that the Seven Seas Brigade would come to Gula, and certainly wouldn't have laid out the pieces so precisely among the middle- and lower-level members beforehand.

He thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay." ”

……

A sharp siren sounded over Crosswind Harbor.

In the port area, a number of wind boats are hanging down their sails, slowly sailing away from the trestle, and from a distance, those wind control warships that are connected from end to end, like a white practice, are converging outside the crosswind harbor.

As for the state of emergency in Xingmen Port, of course, the military was not without a plan, and at the moment when the communication between the two sides of Xingmen was disconnected, the entire Hengfeng Port operated in accordance with the emergency plan.

Two of the three fleets will pounce directly on the Rainbow Sky Gorge, and the other will enter the Sea of Clouds to monitor the situation from the direction of North Kaolin.

In Linde, another fleet would also move south into the Great Wake region, directly holding the entrance from St. Huyen to the Sea of Clouds.

The special garrison troops stationed in Xingmen Port also entered the highest state of alert at the first time.

Crosswind first sent a communication request to Goland and Elpahim to take over the backup communication band from the Super Athletic Alliance, but there was no response to the request, on the contrary, the alliance also cut off the military's control of the community in the first place.

After about five minutes, the two special fleets left the harbor, one heading straight for Goland, the other into the Sea of Clouds, and then turning northwest, past Fenris, and heading straight for the Elpahin region.

However, it still takes time to move under emergency regulations, and according to the calculations of the Hengfeng Harbor Emergency Command, it will take at least twelve hours for the fleet to reach its destination.

The other fleet that entered Elpakhin was not expected to enter the combat zone until seventy-two hours later.

And those seventy-two hours were the deadline set aside for every Alliance official in the Crystal Hall of Elpahim at this moment.

However, the Crystal Hall at this moment was very different from the previous situation, as early as half an hour earlier, the Alliance had closed the inside and outside access to the Crystal Hall, and almost all the non-staff personnel were driven out of this area, except for the necessary personnel.

The main crystal tower, which connected the inside and outside of the stargate, stood in the center of the hall at this moment, and it shone slightly, and under this light, the staff in the hall was about two-thirds less than usual.

The rest, almost all of them are core members of the alliance.

However, only a small percentage of these core members know what is happening, and most of the operation and maintenance personnel are not very aware of the current situation outside. They knew that there was something wrong with the contact of the stargate, and it stands to reason that the military should have sent a request to their communication channel, but this request was not conveyed to everyone, and people were a little surprised, but they also did not know what was going on.

As for the jurisdiction of the community in the hands of others, the whole community is now under martial law, internal and external communication has been suspended, and it is almost impossible to get any useful information from above.

However, although everything was still expected, in the core area of the crystal hall, the faces of several alliance officials were not as good as they imagined.

"Why was the plan brought forward?"

"There are still four days left before the time to open the barrier, and Goland's side may not be ready, is it too urgent to cut off the communication on both sides of the stargate so urgently?"

"Yes, we will startle the snake, the military will not be unresponsive, and we will have less than seventy-two hours at most. If we had prepared the ceremony in advance, the Archons might not have agreed. ”

"Just for a bunch of hairy boys, is it worth it? They've been to Altori, but they don't necessarily find out the secrets beneath Snowstone, and the people of the Templars have dealt with it cleanly. ”

Several coalition officials whispered.

But it wasn't until someone walked up to the iron bridge next to the crystal tower and walked in their direction that everyone noticed the identity of the comer, so they quickly stopped the discussion and bowed their heads in that direction.

"Your Excellency," the officials said in unison, not very far away, but full of humility and respect. ”

The man looked at the crowd of officials gathered here, and took off his hood, revealing the face of a young man, who, though wearing a cloak, was still dressed in the costume of a sightseer underneath, and looked like a tourist.

"You don't have to worry," the young man began, "my father has his own plans, and the military has long been suspicious of us, and now it is just a fuse. The news we released earlier was to paralyze some people, but we had already anticipated the plan in advance. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at a picture projected from the main crystal tower. That's the Descendant of Flor's livestream of the action, and it's the main source of information in the community right now.

"Look at it," replied the young man, "an era has come to an end, and another great drama has just begun, and each of you will be a witness to it." ”

The alliance officials looked at each other, and they all saw the excitement in their eyes.

……

Fang Yu was holding the communication crystal in his hand and said in a low voice:

"I'll leave it to you over there."

"You'll put a hundred hearts, Brother Ed," Sky Blue's voice was coming from the communication crystal, and she seemed to be faintly heard patting her chest assurance, "It's not a big problem here, it's just a small thing." ”

But Fang Yu didn't believe that this poet lady who was running a train with a mouth full of mouths, and the level of trouble in the team, except for the Paparal who was beside him with a ghost in his heart, and he didn't know what to think about with his black eyes, it was none other than this little girl.

"Sylvide." He asked in a low voice.

On the other side of the crystal, Miss Ship Officer was smiling and glancing at Sky Blue, then nodded, "Here, Captain." ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Your mission is crucial, and if we can get out of Gula smoothly, it's all up to you."

Sylvide looked at the tall and majestic building not far away, nodded slightly, and answered.

Fang Yu knew that his ship's junior high lady was reliable, and there were Luo Yu and Luo Hao over there, so there should be no problem in theory.

Of course, he didn't enter Gula without intention, and it had almost become a subconscious habit of him to consider the situation that had not yet happened as the worst-case scenario.

He put down the communication crystal and looked ahead.

Shortly after passing through the park, they entered the central area of the inner city, the spire of the Edan Rian Church, almost a block away.

He looked up in that direction.
