588 Eye of the Storm, Arrows of the World
"Do you hear that? Hold on to the little ones for me! ”
At the same moment, in the sea east of Liberty City, dozens of pirate ships flying skull flags braved the coming storm and were rapidly approaching in the direction of Liberty City: "Go to work!" The landlubbers of the Free City are in a meeting! They don't have time to care about our whereabouts! ”
"Now is the best chance."
One of the players standing next to the pirate captain nodded in agreement, then turned to his companion beside him, "Yes, Your Excellency, Strategist?" ”
"According to the information given by the Restorationists, now is indeed the best time to attack the Free City." Yan Dong, who was known as the military advisor, nodded, and his eyes gradually looked at the outline of the city looming in the sky: "Not only because of the change in the situation, but also because of ...... This coming storm. ”
"How did they know that the tide was going to go down?" The half-box cigarette that raised his head looked at the darkening sky above: "This sky is dark...... It doesn't look like a storm is about to pass. ”
"The sources of the restorationists, we don't have to bother, just follow the established plan and continue to carry out our mission." Tapping the monocle next to his eye, Yan Dong gestured to the pirates who were still howling loudly around him: "Just like these guys around us...... God knows when the Restorationists hooked up with them. ”
"The Restorationists seem to have many potential allies in the past, and the dozens of ships in front of them should be just the tip of their iceberg." Seeing the pirate captain leave his side, half a box of cigarettes involuntarily lowered his voice: "Now we have our support in the player community again...... If you don't do it, you may really have a place on the world stage in the future. ”
"More than that, according to our calculations...... They have more power than that. Yan Dong showed a low smile: "Our victory is inevitable, and the Battle of Liberty City is just the beginning, when we are busy with this battle...... There's a lot more to do. ”
"Hey, that's what I'm saying, how can our footsteps only stop at ......"
"You two are actually chatting!"
The voice belonging to Gardenia suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, and at the same time, the scene of a certain female warrior hanging behind half a box of cigarettes was displayed in front of Yan Dong: "You guys are lazy! Do you know how busy we are right now? ”
"There are so many people, and there is no shortage of the two of us to be busy." Half a box of cigarettes replied helplessly: "What about God Chase? ”
"He was seasick and had already run to the warehouse."
"It's so useless......"
"So hurry up and move the magic cannon! Where is there time to ...... in a while?"
"I haven't seen you so active in my life, why have you become so motivated today?"
"You me! I just like it, can't I......"
"Alas......"
Seeing the two pairs of people leave the side of the ship, Yan Dong, who was holding a magic spell, sighed faintly, then turned his eyes to the outline of the horizon, and became silent again, the constant shouts around him and the shrill laughter from the pirates appeared in his ears from time to time, but there was no sign of disturbing him, until the pirate ship at the front of the fleet broke through the waves and was about to reach its destination, he took a deep breath.
"There shouldn't be any more accidents, right?" He whispered, "Except for that person......"
Rumble!
A dull thud from the center of the city broke through the sky, and then turned into red ripples and gradually dispersed, although it was finally swallowed up by the cloudy sky, but it still attracted the attention of most people, including Yan Dong, and a large number of players around the stronghold outside the city also saw this scene, and the action that was originally in the firefight also stalled for a few minutes, but with the help of several temporary commanders, they quickly turned their attention back from the worries in the city: "Don't worry about the rest! Concentrate! ”
"If you don't want to die, let's kill these guys in front of you first!"
"Left! Left! Where are the people in the Crane Dojo? ”
"......Shh Forget it, what about the people of the Hongxing Gang, make it up for me! ”
"All the evacuees go this way! Don't run from the front! ”
In the battlefield that has become chaotic due to the gloomy sky, the figure of the smiling butcher uncle also appears around this stronghold, directing the retreat of other scattered players while paying attention to the surrounding movements: "A group of reinforcements are coming behind them!" Looks like a magician...... Who's going to deal with it? ”
"Leave it to us." One of the leading players on the side laughed and pointed forward: "Give it to me!" Let them see how powerful our Red Lotus Gang is! ”
"Red, Red Lotus?" The smiling butcher was stunned: "Why are you here?" ”
"Why, have you heard of our prestige?" The player who was directing his men to fight forward looked back and smiled, "Have you ever heard of the Rust Tavern in the south of the city?" Our station is there, and now this battlefield is also where Lord Rust took us to guard......"
"Rust Tavern? Why did that guy ......"
"Tell you a secret that is not too big or too small...... The owners of the major taverns are all members of the Shadow Society, and the entire Free City can also be said to be a city dominated by the Shadow Society. The player looked back at the tall city walls, then replied with a low smile, "It doesn't matter if we fight around the city, because it's our own family's fight, but if someone dares to threaten the safety of Freedom City...... Then they will be the opponents of the entire Shadow Society. ”
"You'd better hurry up, outsider, and do your part for the shadows...... It's what those of us who eat and drink under the fence of the Free City should do. He put away his gloomy smile, and then gestured to the smiling butcher, "I don't know where you're from, but you'd better take your men into the city and hide, or else...... It's better if you're dead, those NPC GIs don't look like they're something that can be resurrected. ”
"In that case, the people from the Vicis Tavern should be outside the city, right?"
"Of course, but their stronghold is in the north of the city, so you should leave it alone."
"So...... Do you know the identity of the enemy? ”
"This kind of thing ......"
"Report! Oh no! ”
A sudden intrusion voice interrupted the man's answer, and also attracted the attention of others, including Uncle Smiling: "Oh no! Please help the master speed back to the city! ”
"Back to the city? Are you kidding? Lord Rust is still fighting ahead, how can we leave them alone? ”
"But...... But ......"
The player who came to report gasped for a while, and finally ran to the gang leader's side and lowered his voice: "There are many enemies in the city suddenly, and they have already fought with the city guards!" ”
“…… What the!? ”
**************************
"What? You say he's the archer who attacked you? ”
In the city lord's arena, looking at the figure that jumped off the field, he whispered and asked, "Is that the group of people you met on the way when we came?" ”
"I don't know how they got into this place, but there's nothing wrong with that." Looking at the huge longbow behind the figure, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "After all, there are players who use bows in this world...... It's the first time I've seen it. ”
"Sir, don't worry, it's the first time I've seen Ning Lan." Ning Lan, who was in the secret voice on the side, smiled and said, "I didn't expect anyone to use such an uncontrollable weapon in this world." ”
"You're not qualified to say that." Duan Qing stroked his forehead and replied, "And is this considered a comforter? Listen to the movement around you, the people here ......."
"I'm afraid it's the first time I've seen it."
The stands around the arena began to stir more and more obviously with the appearance of the mysterious figure, as if they didn't expect that there were really people in the free world who used bows and arrows as their main weapons, and it wasn't until the gesture of the city lord gradually suppressed their low voices that they realized another important issue that they were about to decide: "Since this is Joel's general, then...... Your Excellency the Special Envoy. ”
"Who are you going to send to fight this time?"
“……”
Facing the eyes of the audience, Duan Qing shook his head in a low voice: "You guys...... Who has the confidence to play this guy? ”
“……”
"That's it."
Looking around at the scarred teammates around him, Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "Since you don't want to go, then ......"
"Hey, we didn't say we didn't want to."
Holding down Duan Qing's body that wanted to stand up, the blue-haired whisper was the first to shout: "It's just that in the face of a mysterious and weird opponent, I feel a little bottomless......
"I should be sure to deal with this enemy." The bald horseman named Lost Dream also sat up from behind him: "My big shield should be the best weapon against this guy......"
"No, this guy should let me do it." The cloak covered by the snow spirit phantom ice whispered: "My trial is not over yet, it can be used as the next ......"
"Ning Lan is also very interested in this guy." The maid player on the side also smiled and said, "If Mr. allows, give Ning Lan this opportunity to fight with the archers." ”
"You ......"
Duan Qing, who lowered his head, was silent for a while, and finally showed a relieved smile: "What are you doing here, snatching my prey?" Or maybe it's because you see my miserable injury, so you underestimate my combat effectiveness? ”
"It was all a joke just now, don't worry." He stopped the murmur beside him and wanted to speak again, and then stood up: "What's more, ......"
"I still have a lot of questions for this guy in front of me."
The stands around the arena once again commotioned with Duan Qing's battle, and many expectant eyes gradually converged on the archer opposite, and the figure of the city lord sitting on the high place also stood up with interest: "Oh? Is the envoy going to battle in person? ”
"I'm not a god, but this duel will go on eventually." Duan Qing replied with a smile, "It is our mission to complete the commission, the name of the Fool Adventure Group...... You can't fall from my place. ”
"Good." So the city lord slapped his palm: "I'm looking forward to it...... Your next performance. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Duan Qing slowly put away his smile: "But before that......"
"The one over there." His gaze turned to the player who had stood up and given advice to Joel, "Which party are you from?" ”
“…… Looks like that's your real goal, Mo Shang Qingshan. ”
The player who was hiding his face with his hood replied with a chuckle, then slowly shook his head, "But...... Why should I answer you? ”
"A trick with the Borderlands?" Duan Qing shook his head: "Then change the question......
"The men who have been attacking me all over the city these days...... Did you send it? ”
“……”
In the silence that diffused from the arena again, the player sitting near Joel did not move again, but Tie Lin on the other side of the high platform immediately put down the wine jug in his hand: "Attack? What does that mean, old Joel? ”
“…… I don't know? This guy isn't mine. ”
Pointing to the location of the hooded player, Joel shook his head and denied, "He's just a friend brought by my apprentice, what kind of grudge does he have with the envoy...... How could I possibly know? ”
"Ha, the envoy who attacked the principality is not a trivial matter, you said that if there is no relationship, it will not matter?" Edun, on the other side, immediately shouted a loud accusation: "Are you insulting the wisdom of other people? ”
"What do you say? You're slandering! ”
"It's not a slander, it's an accusation from the envoy, who wants to clear up the relationship as before...... Just show me the evidence! ”
"You're ......!"
Buzz –
With the sudden shrouding of the silent breath, Huo Ran's face suddenly turned blue as old Joel who stood up, and then in a buzzing sound that gradually echoed between the fighting arenas, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes gradually moved with unknown meanings, and his gaze finally fell on the head of the city lord above, and finally wiped the corners of his mouth, and sat back silently again: "City lord...... Your Excellency, ...... you"
"I have a never-ending bickering between you...... Patience has reached the limit. ”
In the silent scene, the voice of the city lord once again echoed in everyone's ears: "If there is still nothing valuable...... You'd better shut up and let this duel go on in peace, you know? ”
"Yes."
Looking at the silent old Joel and Eduane, who answered tremblingly, the figure of the city lord nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed down and whispered to Reiner beside him, "So...... Let's go. ”
"War of the Thrones, Game 8!"
In Reiner's loud announcement, Duan Qing, who had not moved, slowly raised his head, and opposite him, the standing archer had already taken off his longbow early, pinched an arrow in the palm of his hand, and the hum of the bowstring then broke the silence of the audience, and flew to the other side of the arena with the sound of breaking the air, and then in Duan Qing's dodging action, he was deeply nailed into the stone wall full of cracks.
"Let's go!"
