Chapter 86: Crystals

After making your way through the dimly lit sewers, after cutting through an iron fence once more.

Ji Chen saw a flash of brightness appear in front of him.

I was shocked.

To the exit...

On the map, four red dots stand above the exit, like guards.

It doesn't look like they're defenseless here, either.

"Have you heard? Many invaders suddenly appeared in the sea of blood, and I heard that the water village that had been broken through was marching towards the holy city..."

"Hmph, those intruders will be punished by Master Craig."

"Don't talk about it, let's take good care of this place to prevent intruders from invading the city through the sewers..."

"Who's going to get out of this stinking sewer..."

The soldier hung his head in disbelief, and a bone blade pierced his chest.

Before he could say the second half of the sentence, his body fell to the ground weakly, and a whimper came out of his throat.

In the oblique view, dozens of monsters with dragon heads and snake bodies climbed up from the sewers, and a man walked slowly on the stairs formed by him.

The soldier's last thought was that it turned out that there really were intruders in the sewers...

Ji Chen looked at the corpses of the soldiers on the ground, this wave of raids was very successful, and did not alarm other enemies.

What's next...

He looked in the direction of the city gates.

The other players have probably already reached the outside of the city, but it is difficult for them to break through the walls and enter the city with their strength alone.

At this time, a warrior who did not want to be named was needed to help them a little.

A strong fortress, often broken from within.

As long as the gates can be opened from the inside, it is only a matter of time before the city is captured by the players.

He knew it in his heart, even though he had already infiltrated it himself.

But with his strength alone, it would be difficult to break through the blockade of so many Craig soldiers and find the warehouse where the crystals were stored.

Therefore, it is necessary to use the power of other players.

With this in mind, Ji Chen and the others groped towards the city gate.

...

The player rushes across the field and sees the walls of the Holy City in the distance.

"How come there is such a high wall, without the artillery of the Bauhinia Alliance, how can we attack it!?"

"I remember that in the ancient days of Blue Star, didn't they build siege equipment with local materials before attacking the city?"

"It's not hard to build a ladder, but it's hard to get into it with just a ladder..."

Just as they looked at the walls at a loss.

Sharp-eyed players suddenly see that the drawbridge has been lowered and the city gates are slowly being opened.

While they didn't know what was going on, they knew it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Madness flocked to the city gates.

The Craig soldiers on the city walls were dumbfounded.

"Send someone down to see what's going on, close the gates and drawbridges!!"

"Alice."

A beautiful singing voice rang out, and they all froze in place.

By the time the Craig soldiers came to their senses, the gates had been fully opened, and a large number of players and classes from outside the city had flooded the gates, drowning them.

After taking control of the city gates, a head-to-head battle begins.

And the culprit of all this has gone deep into the city.

"Stop the intruders before they break into Master Craig's bedchamber!"

"It's very likely that they want to grab the crystal, pay attention to protect the crystal warehouse!"

A large number of soldiers shouted as they ran through the road.

In the ditch next to it, blisters rose.

Ji Chen slowly rose up from the water, a smile on his face.

The Holy City is full of waterways, connecting all parts of the city.

He can travel around through the waterways without noticing, and most of the Craig soldiers' attention is now drawn to other players, creating an excellent opportunity for him to infiltrate.

And what these soldiers say, the crystal warehouse ...

His eyes lit up, and he led the army in the direction where the soldiers had come.

...

In the majestic and luxurious dormitory, the non-commissioned officer is reporting on the battle situation.

"Lord Craig, the invaders have taken control of the city gates and are fighting our soldiers throughout the city."

"Soldiers have also been sent to guard the crystal warehouses to prevent someone from sneaking up on them,"

After saying that, the non-commissioned officer hung his head deeply, not daring to look at Craig, who was sitting on the throne.

After a long time, he said slowly.

"Do you know how the gates were opened?"

The voice was cold, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, like a glacier on a mountain peak.

"The soldiers who survived said they heard a strange singing, and then they went into some kind of hallucination or distraction, and when they came back to their senses, they found that the gates and drawbridges had been opened from the inside."

The non-commissioned officer immediately replied in a sweat.

"Oh? It seems that someone has sneaked into the city in advance, and as for the singing... It's probably the effect of some kind of spell or treasure. ”

"I'm curious about such a magical effect... I will give you ten bands of the Praetorian Army, and I will find them and bring them before me. ”

Craig said lightly with a slight interest on his face.

It was as if this question was more interesting to her than the players who were invading.

"Yes!"

...

In front of a Gothic cathedral-like building, hundreds of Craig soldiers who had been stationed here had fallen to the ground with no breath.

Ji Chen stepped over the corpses and stretched out his hand to push open the door of the church.

Hundreds of wooden boxes were piled up inside.

He casually asked the Naga warrior to pry one open and stared at it.

The wooden box is full of crystals that glow pleasantly.

With a wave of his hand, he took it all away.

"Ding~ You got 4700 crystals."

A full 4700 units!

That's the equivalent of looting ten warships!

Blood to earn!

Even a single miniature crystal mine will only produce 2100 crystals, and the crystals here are equivalent to two multi-miniature crystal mines.

Craig didn't know how long he had been operating in this secret realm, but the number of crystals collected must have reached a very considerable amount, and many of them were piled up in various warehouses.

And this warehouse is just one of many.

This adds to the 2,200 units that were looted earlier, for a total of 6,000 crystals.

The goal of 10,000 crystals is half accomplished!

Ji Chen nodded secretly.

Next, as long as he grabbed another crystal warehouse, then the goal of his trip was preliminarily completed.

Thinking of this, he left with his army and headed for the next warehouse.

Less than half an hour after they left, the non-commissioned officer arrived with a heavily armed Craig Forbidden Army.

Looking at the corpses of soldiers everywhere, a trace of gloom flashed across his face.

He knew he was late.

In the midst of the chaos, he analyzed the traces of the battle.

Judging from the situation of the corpses, a considerable number of the Craig soldiers stationed here were killed without the slightest resistance, which is completely consistent with the description of the soldiers guarding the city gate before.

It seems that the one who looted this warehouse should have been the enemy who opened the city gates.

After the goal is determined.

The non-commissioned officer waved his hand, "The enemy Lord Craig wants hasn't gone too far, so we'll make sure we catch it." ”

"The will of the adults is my goal, and the sword of the adults is the direction in which we are heading!"

"Full speed ahead!"

The Craig Praetorian Army shouted feverishly and chased after the non-commissioned officer.
