Is there really a group of people who take great risks to go to dangerous places that everyone fears and lend a helping hand to a group of people they don't know before an unknown horror comes?

Few people would believe in such a thing, it just sounds a little too psychedelic and absurd.

Now, however, in the face of the dark clouds that hung over the whole of Vane, and the terrible changes taking place around the world, people felt that such things had become more acceptable.

In front of a large curtain with a deep enough color, even the faint flame will appear to be dazzling.

Faced with such a team, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Boult made an unprecedented choice.

After much deliberation, the close relative of the royal family of Teresa revealed his attitude to the marching Goddess of Dawn through a secret ceremony.

He said that the Duchy of Boult was very willing to support such a courageous and kind move, in addition to providing a part of the navy to escort the ship, the Duchy of Boult was also willing to open a seaside commercial port as a temporary docking point for the fleet of the Dawn Society, in addition, they would also try to mobilize some vehicles and volunteers within the Duchy to help and rescue the survivors in the direction of the city of Seren.

In the past, such a decision of the Duchy of Boult would have aroused the displeasure of the Kingdom of Deresa.

After all, allowing a fleet that does not belong to the countries of the plains to dock at the port is in itself a great risk, and can even be characterized as an affront to the interests and status of the countries of the plains, but this time, the politicians who like to chew their tongues on these aspects have invariably remained silent.

Especially those who have some knowledge of the emergency committee's decision-making, or even participate in it themselves.

In the face of this decision made by the Grand Duke of Boult, many people expressed their doubts and dissatisfaction, but it was limited to them - they certainly would not participate in this so-called rescue operation, and in the face of the impending crisis, they still need to do a lot of things, including but not limited to stockpiling food and weapons, withdrawing their savings in the national bank and converting them into more daily necessities, or trying to move farther away from the rugged hills and safer places......

Of course, there are those who are indifferent, there are those who are evasive, and naturally there will be those who respond positively.

The Duchy of Boult is not far from the city of Salem, and even many of the residents of the Principality have distant relatives and friends trapped in the city, and this part of the population responded extremely quickly to the appeals of the Dawn Society and the Grand Duke of Boulten, and before the Goddess of Aurora arrived at the port, a large number of idle vehicles began to assemble in the border area of Boult.

The sea breeze blows in your face.

After Frey Mayer finished reading the document in his hand about the internal situation in the Duchy of Boult, his tense face became much more relaxed, he looked at the time, then at the sea ahead, and then reached out and touched the top of his head.

Probably because he was too busy during this time, and because he used his brain too much, he felt that his hair was falling out a little.

"Professor, don't touch the top of your head again, your hair will fall out if you go on like this."

Sally staggered in from outside the cabin with two books and a pile of papers, and as she spoke, she put down what she was holding, and seeing that Meyer's cup was already empty, she skillfully poured a cup of tea for her mentor.

"Ha, Darthwell used to say that I should lose my hair so that I could be more convincing in my speech."

"But you're only in your thirties!"

Sally retorted, "My uncle's hair is thicker than yours!" ”

Hearing this, Mayer couldn't help but smile, he turned his head, stopped continuing the topic of hair, and asked instead, "How did you read the two books that were arranged for you before?" ”

"I read the first book halfway through, and as you said, I took notes after reading it...... There are some things I don't know much about, I've written them down and put them in the book, so I'll ask you when you have time. ”

Mayer glanced at the two books that Sally had put down, and seeing that one of them had indeed become a lot thicker, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay Sally, you can pick two questions at random, maybe I can answer them now." ”

Hearing her mentor say this, and seeing that he was indeed not busy now, Sally thought for two seconds, and then threw out a question: "In the book "The Mines, the Workers, and the Origin of Crystallization Mine Interests", there is a special chapter that records a series of protests and strikes by miners in various parts of Van En, and while reading this chapter, I noticed some notes you left in the past. ”

"Well, I was taking some notes, which of them are you confused about?"

"I have seen that you have commented on the two major events of the St. Stille strike sixty years ago and the Hain strike fifty-eight years ago, and I think that the conclusions of these two events in the book are too hasty and even a little vulgar...... At the same time, it is believed that the miners' organizations that contributed to these two incidents did not do a good job. ”

Sally recalled, "So, what do you think of these two events? ”

After listening to his student's question, Frey Meyer nodded slightly, he picked up the teacup and took two sips, and then replied: "The whole of Van En is inseparable from the mining and refining of crystalline ore, and the production of magic crystals can never be separated from miners...... In this regard, they are irreplaceable, and of course, the miners have made various attempts over the past thousand years, the main of which are strikes and demonstrations. ”

"The St. Steele strike sixty years ago and the Hayne strike fifty-eight years ago were actually very similar in nature, and the end result was similar."

Sally nodded hurriedly: "Well, they all failed, and...... The miners were also suppressed by the army and the Guard. ”

So Meyer put down his teacup, and he patted the metal wall of the cabin lightly: "The actions taken by the miners are spontaneous and simple, and the actions taken by the miners in exchange for small profits through protests and strikes, and the desire to give and transfer a part of the profits from their country and the government, have been repeated countless times...... Of course they succeeded, but every time they achieved their goal, the temporary union dissolved, and over time, everything they had won was gradually taken away from them, and eventually a new cycle began. ”

"Sally, you may think that I have some unclear meaning for you to read a book like this at this point in time, but this is actually the same as what the Dawn Society is trying to do."

With that, Mayer led Sally towards the outside of the cabin, and the two soon came to the corridor, through the porthole, Meyer stretched out his hand and pointed to an old armored ship sailing on the side of the Dawning Goddess, which had also been renovated to a certain extent, although the two sides were separated by a certain distance, Sally could still vaguely see the new crystallized cannon installed on the armored ship.

"The failure of those two struggles was actually due to the fact that the method of resistance chosen by the miners was completely outdated...... The group of people they are fighting against have already made corresponding changes and preparations. Faced with an ever-growing crowd and increasingly fierce contradictions, they gathered and organized their forces and formed more extreme and brutal means of defence, which the workers never imagined, so they failed and shed their blood for it. ”

"And the enemies we are facing now are no longer just a state or government that oppresses and tries to enslave the inhabitants at the bottom, they are more extreme and more terrifying, and it is difficult for us to even guess the threat and destruction they may cause." ”

Hearing this, Sally seemed to think of something, and she hurriedly asked, "That's why in those articles you published before, you mentioned that the steam technology initiated by the countries of the Lowe Plateau will bring some new changes...... The changes you mean include ......"

"It's not just a new technological development, it's also a change in the form of resistance."

Mayer stared at the armored ship in the distance: "I have participated in several battles with the Fifth Chasseur, and I have seen the power of these new weapons on the battlefield where magic and magic have dominated for thousands of years...... Unlike weapons that rely heavily on magic crystals, we are able to build a truly combative team at a lower cost and in a much faster time. ”

"I believe that this change is enough to terrify the Black Sun Society, because it means that the world is very different from that lost and distant era, and that even the most humble and weak beings in their eyes are capable of effectively resisting the threat that is coming, and our struggle will completely jump out of the narrow box of the past."

"We need to be armed, and we need an army...... And what we're doing now is that first step of verification. ”

……

Raging flames stretched a long line through the block, and these lines of flame based on alchemical potions, magic pages, and various flammable materials added a bit of warmth to the end of winter.

The strange smell was spreading with the heatwave, the smell of the slime of the Descendants of the Abyss being scorched by the flames.

The defense of the Tricolor Brotherhood is already in jeopardy.

These bandits, who had been forcibly gathered by the members of the Cult and the Black Sun Society in the past, were already scattered, they had indeed survived with the various weapons possessed by the Brotherhood in the past, and many important material points in the central city were under their control, but now, they had to pay the price for their "superior" location.

In just half a day, all the outposts set up outside by the Tricolor Brotherhood have been completely destroyed, and those members stationed in the outposts were swallowed up by the tide of the Descendants of the Abyss who are constantly advancing at the first time, and after receiving a large number of alarms, the members of the Black Sun Association who are responsible for leading the Brotherhood immediately became active, and they began an active confrontation with their understanding of the magic of the Abyss and the defense lines arranged by Xiuge before.

As time passed and the Descendants of the Abyss continued to advance, some doubts finally arose in their hearts about Berva and Shug.

"What about our leaders? Where did he go? ”

The excitement of the magic and the imminent arrival of the black sun was now cooling rapidly, and the young leader who had placed his boundless vision and loyalty in such a critical moment was gone, which inevitably gave rise to some thoughts in their hearts.

However, the army of the Descendants of the Abyss who were approaching step by step did not give them more time to question and think, and the defense line that could effectively deal with the death tide of the Descendants now seemed to be useless, and no one could have imagined that these silty monsters could use such abundant and powerful means to attack the defense line, whether it was a barricade or an obstacle, they could always find a new breakthrough.

Those twisted figures with a clear division of labor, different forms, and different abilities and preferences are enough to make the most arrogant and daring thugs run their heads.

When a magician member of the Society is torn off on the spot by an heir who has the structure of both a beast and an insect, the fighting spirit of the Brotherhood is on the verge of collapse.

"We need to evacuate! We can only go south now! ”

"But that's the site of the Law Commission and Iris Street!"

"Where else can we go but there? And aren't the leaders and the mages of Birva there? They must have a way to shelter us, we can only wait to die if we stay here, the flames won't last long! ”

Behind the precarious defenses, the members of the Black Sun Society argued fiercely that they could no longer stop the Brotherhood members from escaping, and that in the face of the endless Descendants of the Abyss, these bandits who lacked the discipline and will to fight had already begun to retreat, even if the Overseers killed several deserters on the spot, there was no way to stop this trend.

"Then take your weapons and retreat, and if those mages and soldiers stop us, then get rid of them all...... We must have more weapons than they do! ”

As the gap opened, the chaotic rout and retreat began, but it didn't take long for the flames to be torn apart by the advancing Descendants of the Abyss with their bodies and magic, and the retreating Brotherhood ranks began to be forcibly divided.

These thugs are about to be wiped out in despair.

But at this moment, the advancing descendants of the abyss suddenly fell into chaos, and then, behind the wall of fire where several huge gaps had appeared, there was an extremely fast shadow breaking through, it was a three-tailed giant rat running wildly, on the back of the giant rat, riding a gloomy young man, behind it, the thick shadow continued to spread, and a large number of pitch-black tentacles swept quickly, crushing those fierce twisted figures on the spot.

"The leader is coming! The leader has come to our rescue! ”

The members of the association who had fled were so happy that they could not help but cry out.
