The battle is over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Empire had indeed sent reinforcements as Yoshitsumi Miyu had said, and although many of the principality's adventurers had already been sent back to their hometowns in the previous battle, the battle that took place on the last day of the third month of fire in 795 was brought to an end with a third huge explosion. As in the previous case, this explosion did bring great damage, but unlike the previous ones, the unlucky guys under this explosion became the Imperial people themselves - not to mention the chariot located at the center of the explosion, most of the Imperial cavalry around it were killed and wounded, and although the captain of this cavalry team, Larsen, was lucky enough to save his life in the explosion, but he had been blown up to the same appearance as the previous Dusk, and then he was captured by the remnants of the principality who came later. The west gate of the Fars fortress was also completely destroyed in this explosion, but facing the west side of the fortress with the empty gate wide open, the imperial soldiers who arrived later did not choose to attack, but gathered a few remnants of the soldiers who fled back, and then retreated to the grassland.
Because the military of the principality, which had already received the news of the Fars Fortress, finally reacted and mobilized thoroughly, and inside the fortress, more and more players began to appear, and these people ...... Most of them are members of the Sword of Justice.
The superiority of the defenders and the aftermath of the failed surprise attack are finally revealed.
"This attack should not be something that Freedom Wings has planned for a long time."
In the sunlight after the smoke cleared, Duan Shanyue, who was commanding the scene, talked in a low voice with the people next to him: "Otherwise, they wouldn't have come with just such a few people."
"If you come too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it here."
He was answered by a knight with a sword and a scale, fiddling with his weapon with some boredom, and sometimes looking at the dilapidated west square: "According to their description, just two more people...... Here it is estimated that it has been knocked down. ”
"Hey, isn't that what you want to see?"
"Don't you want to?"
"Ahem...... I'm too old to fit into this kind of high-intensity fighting......"
"Come less, that guy...... Aren't you active here, too? ”
Looking at the players who were running back and forth, busy repairing the fortress, Broken Mountain retracted his gaze looking for someone: "Now that I think about it, it was also their bad luck to run into that person...... But why is Wings of Freedom almost not involved? Such a great opportunity......"
"You ask me? I asked who was going. ”
The knight-like man patted the hilt of his sword, then lowered his head and said, "I only know...... They picked a good time. ”
"yes......"
Broken Mountain's eyes also became sharp: "Turn back...... Talk to them well. ”
Due to the emergence of the League Cup, the war between the two countries, which was originally very fierce, was also temporarily put on hold, but this kind of thing was not decided by a few big guild people, but the result of some tacit consent under the common choice of the free world player community - the fight or something was put aside first, and the game was finished first. This kind of thing is also a common thing in the history of the game in the past, and the general big and small forces will also choose this method of temporary peace, and those who ignore it and want to make trouble for others during the game time will mostly be recognized as a despicable thing, and thus spurned by players. However, with the development of the times, many unwritten rules are no longer known, and ......
"It's useless, people say it's a normal event in the game, what else can you do?" Uncle Knight said with a senseless face: "And...... I see, this time it's really the Empire doing things on its own......"
"You mean...... That chariot? ”
"Before the free world...... Nothing like this has ever appeared. ”
The knight's eyes sank: "I didn't expect the Imperial people to come up with a new technology tree...... The appearance of this thing is very likely to change the existing situation, and even the entire situation of the battle. ”
"Hey, looks like we need to work harder." Broken Mountain shook his shoulder: "Losing to others in science and technology is a very tragic thing......"
"We're already ahead, and it's acceptable to be caught up, but ......"
The knight blinked: "Magic of the Empire...... You know. ”
"Huh, hehehe......"
Broken Mountain also laughed: "It's okay, maybe there will be some mechanical civilization developed by the empire in the future, and then there will be a war between magic and machinery or something......"
"Oh, that's exciting to think about."
As he said these words, the uncle's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, he looked at the square in front of him, and suddenly shouted in a certain direction: "Hey, you guys! What are you going to do? ”
"Ah, aren't you going to clean up the battlefield here?" A few players in the distance replied in a daze.
"Don't move those things, yes, just the stuff you have."
Pointing to the pieces of iron in the hands of the players on the opposite side and the remains of the pile of chariots behind them, Uncle Knight continued to shout, "Just put them all there."
"But the people of the principality asked......
"I'll talk to them."
Looking at the figures of those players walking back stupidly, he retracted his eyes, but there was a laugh belonging to Broken Mountain in his ears: "What? Are you reluctant to let others move this iron lump? ”
"What's the word, put it here to deter the enemy, you know?"
"Oh, I thought ...... You want to research it now. ”
"I'm only in charge of fighting, and I'm not a scientist...... And this place won't be repaired for a while, so it's a bunker if it's put ......"
Neither mentioned any potential reason for each other, the two of them laughed at each other, and the conversation gradually turned to other places, such as the situation of the League Cup, the current situation of Tania, the future of the Duchy, and their own future, etc., until the sun set and the light gradually dimmed, and a few of the players with a few of them strode up to their side: "You two, you look idle?"
"Isn't that waiting for you?"
The knight player, who had already sat down, got up from the ground and patted his ass: "How's the investigation going?"
"Fortunately, nothing unusual was found in any way." The warrior named Chestnut replied: "The only trouble is the underground sewer, it is said that ...... That Irot ended up killing at the entrance of that place, so no one could guarantee that the sewers were safe now. ”
"Well, it's very troublesome down there, I want to search it all......" Broken Mountain and the knight glanced at each other: "It's impossible for a while."
"General Dusk stayed at the east gate." Another player named Crimson Flame said on the other side, "Many people advised him to go back to the capital to recuperate, but he insisted on staying here, especially after hearing about the outcome of the battle......
"Humph......"
After a period of silence, Uncle Knight let out a cold snort: "He is afraid that he will be unlucky when he goes back, plus the last incident, this is the second time that the Fars Fortress has suffered, if those short-sighted councilors make trouble...... I'm afraid that even the Pamirs can't bear it. ”
"No, the principality is not like an empire, there are not many people available anymore." Broken Mountain Yue muttered: "They shouldn't do such a thing as cutting off the meridians, it's just ......"
"With Dusk's current situation, can he cope with the battle that follows?" He turned his head and asked, "How are his injuries?"
"I don't know, he's resting in the tavern right now, and I can't confirm his condition yet." The man before replied, "But...... Presumably it's no big deal. ”
"Dead and rebellious, there are few people in the fortress who are useful." Broken Mountain sighed: "With the current situation, it is estimated that the Duchy will not recruit many officers to come here...... Alas. ”
"In the days to come, we'll be busy."
There was another unspeakable silence, and the knight from the Sword of Justice suddenly patted his helmet: "By the way, there is a man ......"
"Quartermaster Virtak, how's he doing?"
"He's fine." A strange expression appeared on Chestnut's face: "Hmm...... It's better that he's safe on his side. ”
"When we asked, he and his arsenal didn't look like they had been attacked. Although there are traces of a battle nearby, that feeling is ...... It's like nothing happened in that place. ”
"Hmph, I'll just say...... There is no famous character in this fortress, and there is no good stubble. The knight player sneered, crossed his arms and looked away, but Broken Mountain continued to ask, "What else?" What happened to the rest of the NPCs? ”
"Adjutant Razlu must have been killed, along with a few of his staff...... The garrison chief Nuland was killed in battle, and the logistics officer, Chait, heard that his body had been found in his barracks, and it seemed that he had been killed...... The captain of the garrison in Dongcheng, Zuhuo, heard that he is still alive, but we have not found him until now...... Ah, by the way, and Master Flo. ”
Chestnut's words paused: "He still works there alone, and he seems to be fine."
"There's news......" The crimson flame on the other side immediately answered, "He was the one who killed Ilot."
"Oh?" Broken Mountain's eyes froze: "Isn't that just right?" Let's go, we'll meet him. ”
"It's not suitable, big brother."
Crimson Cangyan immediately stopped the other party's pace: "That blacksmith's temper, you don't know it, and it's ......"
"He's seeing people right now."
"Who?"
"He'......"
In the twilight, the face of the broken mountain was like a sunset about to set, and slowly sank.
*******************************
"Yes...... Is that so? ”
In the damp hall, the blacksmith who had listened to Duan Qing's story slowly put down his hammer, and his bronze bell-like eyes also closed: "Si Lanke...... Hehe. ”
"This ...... Master blacksmith, you don't have to ...... either"
"I'm not upset."
The sound like a lion's roar echoed around this hall, making Duan Qing also feel the urge to cover his ears. However, judging from the other party's expression, this was already his whisper: "The soldiers of the principality have such a fate, it is already his glory, at least...... He died on the battlefield instead of being driven back to his hometown by the parliamentarians. ”
Speaking of this, Master Flo turned his head and looked at Duan Qing's face: "The saddest thing should not be me, but Dusk......"
"And the owner of the pendant in your hand."
Duan Qing fell silent.
"You've done a great job, boy."
His gaze turned around on Duan Qing's face, and Master Flo seemed to be somewhat satisfied with his reaction: "Since that drunkard has handed over the final commission to you, then...... I also respect his choice. ”
"No, it's us who need to be respected."
The Colorful Aura who came with Duan Qing whispered, "We should respect his choice, even though he usually has some ...... for us adventurers Prejudice, but he saved us all with his life......"
A large palm stopped in front of him and pressed back what he wanted to continue: "Needless to say, I...... There is no intention to blame anyone. ”
Flo's gaze swirled around Duan Qing, who was still silent, and then froze on his upper body: "You...... Doesn't look like there's any good armor......"
"I'll give you one, how about it?"
"What?"
A look of surprise gradually emerged from Duan Qing's face: "This ...... Is it appropriate? ”
"Think of it as the reward for your commission."
Under the light of the fire, a smile appeared on Master Flo's face: "It can be regarded as my gratitude to you."
He lowered his head, as if groping for something beside him: "But speaking of which, your outfit ...... Are you a young man from Greenstone Village? ”
"The Master actually knows about Greenstone Village?"
"Of course I do." Flo, who bowed his head in search, said, "That guy from Valar...... Okay? ”
"Uncle Vaal you know, too?" This time Duan Qing was really surprised: "He's not, he's not ......"
"It seems...... You have a good relationship with him. ”
Master Flo smiled even more happily: "I actually know about him...... Did he tell you personally? ”
"Yes, albeit only in a few words." Duan Qing scratched his head: "But I remember...... When I heard what he said, I was also surprised......"
"Hahahaha...... I like you more and more. ”
The master looked at Duan Qing and threw the thing in his hand to the ground: "You...... Is there time? ”
"Huh?"
"Wait a little here." The burly man with gray hair and beard suddenly stood up and walked slowly in the other direction of the hall: "I'm going to build you a piece of equipment."
"Wow......" The colorful aura on the side immediately said: "Thank you, master!" Brother Mo, you have made a fortune, you can directly get the master's work without a lottery......"
"Uh......"
With an expression that he didn't know what to do, Duan Qing looked at the figure of the blacksmith who had disappeared into the darkness, and asked with some confusion, "Is this ...... It's a bit too much, I'm just a friend of Val......"
"Your value is much higher than you think."
With the sound of the box moving, the blacksmith's voice came from afar: "I can feel it."
"Doesn't he say that to everyone......"
Covering his mouth, Duan Qing whispered to the colorful aura next to him, and before the latter could laugh, the footsteps approached again.
"Don't think I'm talking nonsense, boy."
Flo, who was two heads taller than Duan Qing, looked down at him, then patted him on the shoulder and grinned Duan Qing: "I'm telling the truth......
"The wielder of the boning knife." (To be continued.) )
