Bang.

The fall of the peaks of the snow-capped mountains caused an earth-shattering shock.

The impact almost caused the surface to sink, and the snow and dust raised from the sky covered the surrounding area for dozens of kilometers, and the entire Far Northern Plateau was sunk in a white haze.

The earth shook and roared, the bottomless cracks were torn one after another, and the farther peaks were toppling and collapsing. The city of lights on the plains at the southern end is dying like a faint candle about to be buried in the wind and snow.

In this scene, human beings are not even qualified to stand up.

……

After nearly ten minutes, the tremors began to subside.

As time passed, the entire snowfield slowly fell into a quiet atmosphere, as if nothing had happened.

Just then, a hand came out of the snow.

After holding the ground with great difficulty, the owner of the hand broke through the snow above his head and crawled out with his body.

"Ahem...... Huh...... Ha ......"

Lying on his back, the young man gasped for breath with his eyes blank, coughing with chest tremors from time to time. He didn't know what he had just experienced compared to the pain and hypothermia.

As a member of the Wizard Detection Team, continue to explore north from the Arashi Temple, and then ......

When the earth tore apart and the surface collapsed, every second after that he felt like he could die at any time, and even now, he felt incredible that he had survived.

"Ahem...... Cough! ”

Blood coughed up in his lungs, but he didn't dare to delay, because there were four members with him—this was a combined team of adventurers, knights, and churches, in addition to the rationality of the match, but also to adapt to the multi-force joint operation in the future.

And he is an adventurer.

Looking at the white snowfield, his vision was a little dim, and he couldn't even distinguish between the south, east, west, and northwest, as if he was looking everywhere.

At this time, he remembered what the alliance had given them before leaving, and hurriedly took it out from his chest wrapped in frozen fingers.

It was a pink crystal pendant.

“……”

Triggered by magic, the pendant exudes an ambiguous aura outwards - it is said that this thing was made by a succubus, and its biggest role is to guide the location of nearby targets of the opposite sex.

Let the squad be matched with men and women, perhaps for this reason.

Soon, he found the goddess official of the Burning Sun Church in the snowdrift, and after pulling the other party up, her face was as pale as a piece of paper. Probably only after experiencing this scene together can we understand what it feels like.

The priest reluctantly made a flame lantern, and the two quickly found the remaining three, and although everyone was in a bad condition with each other, they didn't want anything to be alive.

A group of people staggered and hugged each other.

"What was it just now?" Said the missionary, who is also from the Church of the Burning Sun.

The adventurer helped him and accidentally caught a glimpse of the other's pink crystal pointing straight at him.

“……？”

"I don't know," the knight from Mount Kali coughed, "it's too quiet around to be just a landslide." ”

"If I'm right, it's north over there." The elf bowed and pointed in one direction.

The five of them looked over, and at night, that direction was completely submerged in the wind and snow, and the height raised was hundreds of meters, and the five people couldn't see the reason for staring for a long time.

And at this moment, two huge balls lit up faintly in the snow.

“！！！”

Several people shivered, and involuntarily took a step back, goosebumps broke out all over their bodies.

They found that their gaze was too low, and they all raised their heads at this moment, and they were speechless in shock.

The previous shock was terrifying.

And at this moment, in the wind and snow in the sky, the unknown hidden behind the snow curtain, unable to see the specific face, is like an ancient god watching indifferently.

And it's terrifyingly huge.

The adventurer realized that his lips were trembling, and he heard a dripping sound, and turned his head to see water dripping under the goddess's robe.

That's what it is...... Ancient magic weapons?

Last time, how was the legion able to defeat ...... Such a huge existence.

Before a few people froze in place, two huge balls in the snow curtain moved, and the whole body looked like a huge castle shrouded in wind and snow from a distance.

It...... Moving?

With an extremely slow pace, the air resounded with a heavy whine of metal.

『Dock ————』

The sound of the wave set off an impact, and a strong wind suddenly blew on the snowfield, and several people stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground again.

And the huge figure in the wind and snow, like a mountain range, steadily lifted its steps forward from a distance.

After a long landing time -

Bang!

The earth shook again.

……

An hour later.

No crown city, temporary command office.

The shock beneath his feet came again, and Ryan held himself steady on the table and looked up to see the beams of the room shake into the dust.

"It's the third time, and it's going to be every thirty minutes."

And this also shows that the magic guide weapon is gradually approaching the Crownless City. The sound of stepping on the earth shook the people of the city, and even though a lot of preparations had been made in advance since the incident, it had barely stabilized until now.

It's not that I can't understand the reaction of the people.

Compared to the weapons of the Hoof Fire Empire last time, the movement caused this time is really exaggerated.

"How's the probe team doing?"

"The farthest group has also been brought back," Elifa replied, "and the five have been frightened, and have already let them rest." ”

"Take them to the courtyard to rest," Ryan nodded, "it won't be affected by the earthquake." ”

The present world alone has brought such a big impact, and this situation must not be dealt with with by the experience of the previous time.

This is still the result of being greatly hindered by Rowe.

Ryan couldn't imagine what they and the city would face without what his best friend was doing in the shadows.

Because of this, there is no chance of victory at the moment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, why is this best friend always so clever, and the existence that is now regarded as a great enemy by many forces is just deflated in advance by him.

It's as if you can predict it in advance......

……

Four o'clock in the morning.

In the silent courtyard, all the forces are all in place.

In addition to the lords of more than a dozen small countries and races around the area, all the craftsmen with heads and faces arrived, and in addition to Moira, the chief war officer of the Arashi Temple, also officially attended.

Of course, the most surprising.

She is the Five Kings of the Lion Court Kingdom.

This is the first time that the Five Princesses have participated in a meeting related to the forces of the Crownless City Alliance, and Loveley's arrival not only means that the magic guide battleship will be used as the key to the next attack to intervene in the situation, after all, the power of the magic guide cannon was obvious to everyone last time; And as the princess of the Lion Garden, she undoubtedly has a position that affects the decision-making of the Lion Garden in the Crownless City, which makes the craftsmen seem to have seen a savior.

Of course.

It's only reasonable......

Since being expelled from the royal capital's circle of power.

High EQ: She is a princess of self-improvement.

Low EQ: She talks like a fart.

But after all, as a royal family of the second largest country in the West, her presence suddenly raised the entire meeting to a higher level. Coupled with her delicate appearance as petite and lovely as a porcelain doll, and a princess puffy dress like a star holding the moon, many people on the scene showed their sincere admiration for her beauty and aura.

She is worthy of being the princess of the Lion Garden.

Even those who think so include Eluffa, the elven queen. The elves on the lake don't have so many royal etiquette, and compared to the untainable dignity of Loveli, the queen himself is almost like an earth emperor.

But looking down a little, she understood.

Heaven has given her a lot, but it has also taken away a lot from her......

And when they were amazed at the temperament of the five princesses and didn't dare to look up, everyone also found that the area occupied by the other party was clearly Luo Wei's location.

Other words......

That guy is really the one of the Five Princesses, right?

Hiding all the way, as if he didn't want people to know that he was doing things for the princess, and even now he didn't know where to hide.

"Please don't mind me, just think of me as a member of the crusade."

After the formal self-introduction, Loveli said with ease.

After saying that, she turned around, only to find that the group of people who came over just now and were still following behind her, and at some point they were gone.

“？？？”

What about people??

The hidden Saiya came down to tell her the answer, and Loveley's brow sank quickly, but she could only see the figure of the Royal Knights in the back, and wanted to see the back but not high enough.

You trash fish!!

What are you doing in the back of me!

She couldn't jump there in front of so many people.

Ryan could see on the other side that Luo Wei and the others were standing next to the royal knights behind Her Royal Highness, in fact, they were only two steps away, but they were just blocked by the crowd.

He shook his head helplessly and smiled, he really didn't want the opportunity to show his head.

Obviously standing here.

He's the biggest hero.

Retracting his thoughts, Ryan stepped out of his place and made his way to the center of the Circle.

"Everyone—"

He said in a loud voice.

"I don't think I need to say much about it, but I'm sure everyone knows very well why we're here. With the help of various forces, we have obtained information that has a general understanding of the current situation. ”

Looking around at everyone, Ryan took a slight breath.

"I'm going to tell you about the crisis we're about to face, and—"

"Then let me hear it too."

A gruff voice interrupted Ryan's speech, echoing through the courtyard like a bell.

People looked at the source of the sound, and from the large portal next to the square, a burly figure slowly walked out, with short white hair poked on his head, his face was embarrassed, and his body was covered with smudges, but his eyes were bright. There is also a red-haired skillful machine girl by her side.

Former Hoof Fire Empire East Marshal - Marcus.

When he saw this person appear, the crowd suddenly seemed like boiling water, and no one could forget that just a while ago, it was this man who led the army to storm the Crownless City head-on.

Most people dare not speak out in anger, but there are also some power lords who are not afraid of their edge.

"Why are you embarrassed to be here, Marcus." His Majesty the Demon Clan's General spoke.

Including Dundry and Vanessa, they all looked at the man with hostile eyes.

Marcus smiled mockingly.

He seemed to have completely lost the commanding momentum of a marshal, like a down-and-out ranger fighting alone, and paid no attention to the speeches and eyes of these people.

Instead, he asked in an unfixed direction:

"Where's Rowe Brooke?"

“……”

No one responded.

Ryan pursed the corners of his lips, now he knew why Rowe was hiding......

And that's exactly what happened.

Another low, majestic voice rang out from the direction of the portal at the entrance to the courtyard.

"Hehe... Looks like things are going to get interesting. ”

The people were unfamiliar with the voice, and when they looked up, the person who appeared there shocked everyone.

Surrounded by several knights in blue and white armor, a tall middle-aged man with broad shoulders walked out calmly and quickly, wearing a Lion Court military uniform.

He has curly brown hair, a strand of gray in the hair color, hard and calm facial features and a resolute wide chin, his eyes cannot be seen through, giving people the impression of a politician who is as stable as Mount Tai.

Loveley stood up.

The other party stood and touched his chest with his hand, and bowed his head to give her a lion garden military salute.

Then he raised his head with a calm smile.

"Good evening, Highness Loveley."

It's no wonder that Loveley is so excited, because the man in front of her is the one who makes her talk like a fart.

The current prime minister of the Lion Court Kingdom——

Randall Ospod.
