At night, Elichar has become a boiling city that never sleeps, and the sound of killing and fighting has painted the dark night sky a ray of red, as if the sky was burning.

The reign of the Emergency Committee, like the night sky, is also being burned, and it is about to be reduced to ashes.

However, Marshal Mencius, the supreme military commander of the Emergency Committee, turned a blind eye, and rode the wind through the murderous Dongcheng District, crossed the Boulevard of the Cross Star, ignored the rebuilt Azure Palace in the square, and headed directly towards the wealthy area to the southwest of the city.

There is his home, there is his lover.

However, when he was only a few kilometers away from his home, he stopped, sighed heavily, and looked at a tall tower a hundred meters away from him. At the top of the tower, an old mage stood in the wind wearing a robe, like a statue that had been standing there for a long time.

The old mage didn't look at himself, but Mencius understood that it would be too unrefined and unseemly to go straight away as if no one had ever seen anyone at this time.

"Headmaster." Kyle Mencius, the chief graduate of the Central Academy of Magic forty years ago, bowed his head to the old man.

"It's back, Kyle." Paloon Avaram, who had been the principal of the Central Demon Academy for almost half a century, bowed slightly, and at first glance, he really thought it was an exchange of greetings between old friends.

"I have to go back."

"That's why I'm here to wait for you."

"So, are you going to fight me here?"

"It depends on what you want to do. Or, we'll just be here and do nothing, so we don't have to fight. I've never been good at fighting, you know. ”

"I'm sorry, but I have to go back to my family now."

"Really...... Unfortunately, then, it's my duty to keep you from going anywhere. In that case, join me in witnessing the dawn of a new era. ”

Mencius couldn't laugh or cry. His so-called "going back to the family" refers to his wife and children, but the old principal must understand that "family is family and is the gate valve faction". However, he has no way to defend himself now. When he had to become a core member of the emergency committee because of his family, he was no longer eligible to defend himself.

Mencius couldn't even say things like "You're old, you're not good at fighting, I still have the ancient lord's banner in my hand, you're no match for me at all." When an old man who is about to celebrate his 100th birthday is as full of fighting spirit as a young man, he can't help but be in awe and feel related to him, who is also a man. Men are teenagers until they die, and this kind of romance is indeed only understood by men.

So, the old man and the older old man activated the magic at the same time. The impact of vigorous energy shook a huge roar in the sky, and the shock wave spread out with a rippled air wave, and a large number of houses in the rich area were affected on the spot, glass windows, tiles, street lamps crackled and shattered, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens, dogs, ghosts, and wolves.

Arantis Nahis, who was sneaking past the place, walking as close to the walls and shadows as he could, was nearly smashed by the downed street lamp. Fortunately, he himself has always been quite vigilant, and his means are extraordinary, and he finally stepped on the grace of a cat at the last moment, and took a few steps lightly and sensitively. The street lamp smashed the floor tiles where Alan was originally located, he sighed with palpitations, and looked up at the two old mages in the night sky who had already fought in the dark, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not choose to go over to help.

On the one hand, there was that level of magic warfare, and he didn't think that he could have any decisive effect by helping in the past. On the other hand, he, like Marshal Mencius, is also a married person with a family, and there are many kinds of fetters and concerns. So, after the siege of Dugu Fort was completely relieved, he was not with Carol and them, but secretly left the army and rushed to the Xiafei Mansion in Nancheng.

Carol and Eloville are both very good officers, and with the great Lady Colorel watching, it doesn't matter if I'm not there. Liz should need me more than she needs now. Of course, if there is no one else who can lead those students except himself, Alain will also suppress the longing for his wife in his heart, grit his teeth and finish the battle first.

He is such a person full of responsibility and positive energy, otherwise he would not have become an excellent bureaucrat and is deeply trusted by his mentor.

However, there are gains and losses, after graduation, he put almost all his energy into the study and handling of various government affairs, and his reliable practical experience can even be traced back to his student days, so naturally he can't become a combat-type spellcaster who is particularly good at fighting.

But it doesn't matter, although he is not good at filmmaking, but he is majoring in change science, disguising himself as a garbage can or walking silently around the street corner like a cat is a normal operation, and there are still means to hide his quick action. Naturally, the elite of the garrison corps is responsible for the security of the wealthy area in Nancheng, but after all, he is an ordinary person, if he is really discovered by the other party, he, a three-star star, must have bribed the examiner, how can our dignified representative of the backbone of the Qing school do such a thing?

What really made him feel a little tricky were the few black-robed mages patrolling here. Alan knew that those should be the legendary "Death Eaters", the killers of the aristocratic sect. I heard that the Field Service Department was also completely wiped out by these ruthless gatekeeper lackeys, and if it weren't for the timely arrival of Sesilu, he himself would have become the prey of these black dogs.

Alantis did seriously consider whether to kill a few black dogs to avenge his comrades in the Field Service Department, but after thinking about it for a second, he felt that it was better to retreat quickly.

I'm a civilian official, and I'm really not good at fighting. Alain said to himself.

Fortunately, the battle in the East City, the shouts of the academy district, and the fierce battle between the two archmages in the sky all attracted the attention of these nearby Death Eaters, and Alain finally reached Hemingya Street, where he was located, and he could even see the conspicuous red eaves of his house - which was designed by his wife Liz herself.

His emotions at this time are quite complicated, full of longing, anticipation, excitement and even a little bit of nervousness that he can't understand, looking at his small home that he hasn't come back for a few months, he actually doesn't dare to go over. However, all of the above emotions disappeared, and he turned into panic and fear, thinking that he had seen the open door of his home.

Now is a very moment, no matter how good the security of the rich area is, there is no saying that the door is not closed in the middle of the night!

Burglar? Or is something else going on? Alain wanted to rush over immediately, but the more he was at this juncture, he calmed down, took a few deep breaths, gave himself another cat grace, slowly leaned against the wall to the courtyard gate, buckled the staff, and prepared a land burst spell - the most lethal attack magic he had ever mastered. When he was about to enter the courtyard, three people came out of the house first.

A middle-aged uncle over forty-five years old, a young girl under thirty, and a strong half-orc half-orc, all dressed in light and suitable for movement. Orcs and girls aside, the middle-aged uncle led by him, Alan always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"That's why I said, Captain, Lu ...... That lord's army could come at any moment, and we have limited time, so we can't afford to make any mistakes. The young girl's face was full of dissatisfaction, and she was still complaining when she left the room.

"However, General Dunbolay has also said that what we are about to embark on is an epic journey that has never been seen before in history, and we need enough supplies. In addition to drinking weapons, valuable and easy to carry are also one thing. In this way, the gold coins are not as valuable as these antique crafts, and this green corundum galloping horse statue of Boranti in my hand, when passing by the sea of falling stars and the ocean of the setting sun, if I can get Mirabex to sell, maybe I can exchange it for more than three months of food for the whole army. ”

Alain quickly recognized that the corundum galloping horse statue in his hand was one of his wife's favorite objects, and of course, he had always thought it was just an imitation. Either way, though, these guys are all robbers who break the door, and they don't look very strong.

Arantis pounced, first a ripple of air smashed into the face of the strongest-looking orc, and then the other two who flashed the magic shot screamed for a moment, and then quickly took out the alchemy rope from the magic tactic pocket, activated it with activation and threw it over.

The activated rope tied the three of them together, and the green jade statue in the middle-aged man's hand was snatched back by Alan with an arcane hand before it hit the ground, and the latter stepped forward, stepped on the middle-aged man's chest, and whispered, "Who are you?" What about the owner here? Speak! ”

"Don't, don't, there's something to say, let's ...... We're not thieves! The middle-aged uncle at the head immediately began to raise his hand and beg for mercy almost with an instinctive reaction. When he saw that Alain's staff was already approaching his throat, the sharpness of the demonic weapon had even cut the epidermis, and in an instant, a simple, pitiful, aggrieved and helpless old face was squeezed out of his face, and he lamented: "We are really not bad people!" ”

"Yes, yes, this uncle is not easy to say, but I'm really not a bad person, and I have been against them when they first started doing this." The woman also kept exculpating herself.

"Shut up! Said one by one. Alain snorted unceremoniously.

The middle-aged uncle and the young girl rolled their eyes, and they were sure that although the person in front of him had a good level of magic, he didn't have much experience, and his character should be good. Otherwise, when you say "shut up", you should make up for a slap in the face or even worse.

The middle-aged uncle began to organize the language; The girl kept her mouth shut, feeling safe; As for the orc, he had completely fainted after being hit by Fang Cai, and of course it was really unclear whether he was really unconscious or not.

"Say, who are you? Where is the owner of this house? What did you do to her? ”

At this time, the uncle finally recognized the other party by the light, and hurriedly said, "Ah? Lord Arantis, is it Lord Arantis? It's me, Planck! Your loyal friend, Planck, the old boatman, yes! I visited you last time in June, don't you remember? ”

Alandis finally extracted memories of each other from a cell in a groove in the cerebral cortex.

In June, before the coup d'état and the civil war had begun, he had just become the director of shipping. It seems that there is such a person who has come to visit him with luxurious silver tableware, and claims to be "an old friend of Master Lu Xi, so you are also good friends with Master Alain" Yunyun.

Of course, the gift was not received, but it was not thrown out. Arantis understands that what he does is the normal operation of the Federation businessmen all along, and this Captain Planck has been a passenger captain and served in the navy, and now he has started to operate transport ships again, and he has some connections in the world, and his ability is indeed good. Such an excellent seafarer, he was still happy to communicate with each other, and the two men had a great conversation, and they also had an in-depth exchange of views on various matters concerning the reorganization of federal shipping and air trade. In addition, he was full of praise for the jade horse and expressed considerable admiration for the lady's taste.

"So, is it because of this, that you're going to hurt my lady and take her collection while I'm not at home?" Alantilis was furious, raised the staff in his hand and condensed the demonic weapon into a standing sword, and was about to hack the other party to death, but he heard the other party say loudly: "No, no, no, no, your wife is not at home!" There's no one in your house anymore. ”

"No, no one?" Alan was stunned.

"Yes, there's no one. All this greedy uncle said that it was an ownerless thing anyway, so it was better to use it as military funds. Even if Alain-sama knew about it in the future, he would understand me. These are all his exact words! The young girl hurriedly added: "I have been stopping him, you can't wronged a good person!" ”

"Aren't you at home? However, when she is not at home, where can she go as a weak woman? Did you go back to your parents' house and hide? Now, do I have to go to Anririj? Alan relaxed a little, but the doubts in his heart were even greater, and he was even more angry when he looked at the few guys who broke through the empty door in front of him, and said sharply: "So, what the hell is going on, why are you here?" Let's get back to life! ”

Captain Planck exchanged glances with the young lady, his first mate, Miss Fantine, and secretly complained.

Their current boss, the 10,000 men led by Dunbolay Dandillane, had actually arrived near Orso, and had been hiding in the Red Pearl Island Chain in the northwestern part of the Heavenly Zone, carefully observing everything here. The main force of Marshal Tongmensius did not dare to do so, and only by scavenging the nearby farms and wild animals could they barely maintain the life of more than 10,000 people.

The broken ship of the Gate Valve Sect is really impossible to get on anymore, so the expedition to the legendary New World on the other side of the sunset ocean is on everyone's agenda. It's just that the little material in hand really can't last so long, and you have to collect as much material as possible, and a person like Planck who is well-connected, well-informed, and seems to have some friendship with all parties, and is not very conspicuous, was sent to Elichar City to see if he could collect some information.

However, before going out again, the deputy commander, Major General Gezet, grabbed Captain Planck and hesitated for a moment, before he said embarrassedly: "...... Plus, uh, I'm really going to get you in trouble, Captain. I have a private house in Hemingya where I have some of my private collections. In the future, it is estimated that this federation will not be able to come back, and everything we have here will have to be given up, but only those are the ones that I really can't give up! Anyway, Captain, I hope you take a little detour and get there and have a look, right. Bring back those treasures that you grasp. I swear by my magical name that I will try to repay you in the future. ”

It seems that those treasures are really important to the deputy commander. However, considering that General Gezeet will be one of our refugees in the future...... Ah no, the second leader of the expeditionary force who has been unshakable for a long time, his favor is of course very valuable.

It's just that he really didn't expect that Alantilis's new home after marriage would be in this neighborhood, and there were only two or three small buildings across Gezett's private house. It seems that this kind of private residence of General Gezet is really little known, and he himself has not come back much, and he has hardly taken pictures of his neighbors. Otherwise, Rassell's disciple and right-hand man is a neighbor with the Violet family's eldest cousin, which is enough to be on the social news.

In short, Captain Planck and his entourage, who were passing by here, took out the Gezet's collection and saw the Xiafei Mansion of the Alain family. This small building, which is quite warm and elegant, is dark and quiet during the holidays, and the garden is full of weeds, and it is obvious that it has not been inhabited for at least two months.

That green corundum galloping horse looks like the real thing! It is definitely the work of the sculptor of the Warring States period in Auckland, Brunti, in his later years. I remember that Mirabex in the Four Kingdoms of the Thousand Islands has recently become popular with the heroic art of the Warring States period in Auckland, and the statue can definitely be exchanged for a large amount of military supplies, that is, the food and materials for the expedition to the New World are enough.

Captain Planck had all these thoughts in his mind, and then he had everything that followed.

But what do I have to say about these things?

Captain Planck's face was bitter.

That's why I told you not to make extraneous branches!

Miss Fantine's face was full of grievances.

The orc boatswain continued to "faint".

"Speak quickly!" Alain exclaimed.

Just when the captain gave up all illusions and wanted to tell the truth, he heard a deafening "Woohoo!" from the garden gate. Then a large, fat body rushed in with a heavy but agile speed, and slammed headfirst into Alain...... No, on the back of his head to be exact.

Alain really lacks practical experience. He probably focused on the "bandit who broke through the empty door", and activating the activation rope and the stance sword at the same time did consume almost all of his mental power, completely ignoring the possible dangers around him. At this time, he was caught off guard, and was smashed forward, and the whites of his eyes exploded as if they were bigger than his eye sockets, and his eyelids then rolled, and then he fainted on the spot.

Captain Planck and Miss Fantine, the orc boatswain who had "just woken up" herself, looked at each other, but shrunk even tighter. Since the caster had fainted, of course the activation rope on his body was lifted, but at this time, they didn't even dare to breathe except for shivering.
