Meeting site.

The people of the Legion and the Lion Court had basically arrived, and Ryan swept the crowd one by one with his gaze a little sluggishly, and the few people beside him could see through it.

Returning here, Eluffa was a little confused.

…… What is he looking for?

Seeing that both Joey and Sherrond had expressions full of meaning, Eluva frowned and looked at Jutman, who had worked with Elves before.

“…… In short, this matter should not bother the queen. ”

“……？”

Joey on the side couldn't help but laugh, but Ryan didn't react.

Until Randall attended.

When the Prime Minister of Lion Court stepped into the venue, the surrounding air immediately became tense, and accompanied by the heavily armed Lion Court Knight, everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged man led by him.

Loveley: "......"

Elufa: "......"

This is the aura of those who hold power today.

Obviously deliberately planned the wartime chaos of the Crownless City, but he was able to appear here in a grand manner, even if there were workshops present to find the looting craftsmen for no reason, he dared not speak out at this moment.

Randall walked all the way to the innermost position in the rear, his resolute chin with a lingering smile, coldly looking down on the lords present.

This time he didn't say hello to his royal daughter.

Treated like a sheep, Loveley had no expression on his face.

Ryan retracted his thoughts and closed his eyes, then stepped out of the front of the crowd and, after standing still, raised his head straight at Randall there.

"Before we begin," Ryan said, with a solemn expression, "I hope that the Prime Minister of Lion Court will explain what he has done before, which will be crucial to whether we can cooperate in the future." ”

“……”

The atmosphere in the venue suddenly seemed to freeze.

In the entire atrium, I'm afraid that only Ryan dares to question Randall in person like this.

"Heh... Do you want to ask about letting the city go unchecked? Randall smiled heavily.

"Exactly." Ryan didn't evade his gaze.

It's not to confirm the other party's thoughts, but everyone present may not be able to accept it, and even if they win in the end, all the gains will be taken away from each other.

This is the only thing that must be ensured.

"Hehehe......" Randall looked appreciative, "isn't the answer to this matter obvious in front of you, as a 'temporary generation', this is my own dereliction of duty." ”

“……”

Of course, everyone thinks so, but even Ryan wouldn't say it so explicitly, and I'm afraid only Randall himself would dare to admit it directly.

Ryan raised his head and asked, "I can understand that you are admitting your fault?" ”

"Of course," Randall squinted at the crowd, "I said the Lion Court would consider handing over the Crownless City, huh...... Judging from this incident, I am really not suitable to run this city. ”

“……”

The atmosphere on the field froze for the third time.

When he first said this, even if Randall emphasized it twice, no one really took this absurd agreement as a fact, probably except for Rowe, who was another person who couldn't see what he wanted at all.

Does he really plan to hand over the Crownless City?

So why deliberately orchestrate your own dereliction of duty?

"Speaking of which," Randall suddenly spoke again as the crowd pondered in silence, but this time he looked at Loveley, whom he had previously despised before, "I was in the city at the time, hum...... Speaking of which, my life was saved by Rowe Brooke. ”

Loveley's eyes were deep.

Why did he deliberately mention it? No one would think that he had really entrusted his life to Luo Wei, after all, Luo Wei's actions were completely unpredictable, how could he be aware of it.

But......

I see.

Rowe's eyes, who were hiding behind Vimir, turned cold, originally he didn't understand why Randall was in the city during the shelling, but now after being reminded by the other party, everything made sense.

He did it "on purpose".

Just imagine, if the city was really destroyed by artillery bombardment when Randall was there, what was the nature of it?

Attempted murder of the Prime Minister of the Lion Court Kingdom.

Rowe certainly believed that Randall had a way to get out of the way before the bombardment arrived, and in this way, both the Craftsmen's Guild and the Hoof Fire Empire were all sinners who plotted to kill the kingdom's prime minister.

Can the Lion Garden, which has been spinning under the wheels of steel for twenty years, sit back and watch the prime minister in power be killed abroad?

Those fanatical followers who believe in Randall's policies are bound to set off a wave of vengeful anger throughout the country, shouting that the empire has broken off the ideal of the lion, and then the lion garden will immediately enter a state of war readiness, and the whole kingdom will be united into a weapon of war with the anger of the people.

If this is the case, there will be no arbitration for neutral forces such as the Lan Temple, and the Lion Court will send troops to eliminate all hidden dangers outside the territory.

As for letting the order of the uncrowned city go unchecked......

Loveley lowered his head, sure enough, to make the Lion Court Army more sworn to follow him.

"The Prime Minister sensed the danger before the crisis and ordered the Lion Court garrison to evacuate the precarious city of Uncrowned, while he himself remained in the city to resist the thugs of the Craftsmen's Guild, and was eventually killed."

In terms of manipulating people's thoughts, as the prime minister, he naturally has his means, otherwise how could there be so many fanatical believers in the country who unswervingly pursue an iron-blooded policy for him.

Although the Crownless City is a strategic location, it is by no means necessary and the only strategic location, Randall can't spend so much effort just for a city of craftsmen, he stands on the strategic vision of the entire continent.

In this game, it is true that no one can keep up with his height.

Loveley: "......"

I've learned a lot, Prime Minister.

There weren't many people present who could comprehend this layer, but Randall chose to say it at this time, there is no doubt about it...... It's a conspiracy.

Luo Wei couldn't help but admire this one a little, the princess and the little ghost were still too tender and thin in this regard, even if someone could understand him, they couldn't help him at all.

Because the "attempt" has already happened.

Randall could have shouted that it was Lowe Brooke, a subordinate of the Five Princesses, who desperately saved his life, not only to achieve the same effect, but also to strengthen the belief of the royal family of the Lion Garden, after all, the Lion Court is still a kingdom that values glory in its bones.

Rowe Brooke's sacrifice must not be brought to shame.

At this time, he deliberately said this to Loveley, and the royal family of Lion Court would not ignore it when they learned about it, and no matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a great favor to Randall.

Majestic as a lion, with eyes like a falcon, and cunning as a wolf.

Vimere stood there and blinked.

What, what, and what? Did something happen?

Luo Wei twisted her head down with a dark face in the back, I haven't even passed the first seven, and I'm still looking around curious, right? Can widowhood be a little more professional?

Most of the people on the field didn't understand like she did.

That includes Ryan.

"Can you make a promise to let the Crownless City out after the events of the Craftsman's Guild are over?"

"Of course." Randall smiled, "This incident clearly shows that someone is better suited to rule the city than I am. ”

Ryan gritted his teeth and exhaled, he didn't understand what Randle was planning, the other party's oppression made him feel as heavy as a mountain, but as long as this could be guaranteed, at least there would be no conflict between the two sides at this stage.

But he was still very careful.

"Are you willing to commit to this with a magic contract?"

"Hehe......" Randall looked at him, as if he was a little disappointed that he didn't understand, "The words I say in public are contracts. ”

“……”

I'm still too tender......

Ryan looked at Elifa and Vanessa and the others, and only after receiving a nod from the lords did he breathe again.

"Now, let's talk about the invasion of the Floating City—"

Through Lovery's arrangement of the angel's picture, it is embodied on the magic guide panel, and there is a lot of discussion in the atrium.

The plan for attacking is undoubtedly very simple and crude, it is nothing more than to hit the old nest of the craftsman guild as soon as possible, and the legion has long been familiar with the road after many battles, and the problem is not in the tactical arrangement.

Rather, there are two points worth noting.

Lovery tasked Ayining to tell the story of the ruins, and combined with the information that the legion's transmission was blocked, it was speculated that the floating city was also spontaneously relicting the surrounding area.

“…… That's the general overview above. Ayining said steadily.

Luo Wei pursed his lips in the crowd, although he didn't show it too obviously, but after several attempts to make contact, the other party didn't pay much attention to him.

And the other information, which was discovered entirely by the Legion.

"We've seen it up close," Vanessa said coldly, her eyes open, "and we've found that floating city is invisible. ”

Invisible?

No entity?

Receiving an affirmative answer from Vanessa, everyone present looked at each other.

How can they fight in cities that they can't touch?

Eluffa stood up at this moment and said, "The dragons we scouted did pass directly through the outer wall of the island, maybe the main body of the city is not really there, but since there is a consideration of ruins, our speculation is that there may be a way to materialize it." ”

"That'...... How? An adventurer asked.

They had never come across a ruin that they could walk through directly.

"I don't know." Eluffa said frankly.

Suddenly there was a loud discussion around.

That's why we held a meeting to discuss countermeasures. With the help of all parties and the strength of the craftsmen, it was too early to say that it could not be done before I tried it.

And...... If Luo Wei had explored deep enough before, it would have been a good idea to go directly to the city itself.

It's not up to one or two people to decide exactly what to do.

There were different opinions, and the craftsmen seemed to be accustomed to such heated arguments, and only in this way could the best solution come to the surface.

"I miss it so much..."

A faint voice came from the floor, interrupting the discussion in a penetrating manner.

Ryan and the others followed the sound and looked into the sky, and a metal magic ball slowly levitated and landed on the ground in the atrium.

Then, a figure was projected from inside, and only half of the transparent body could be seen, but Luo Wei's eyes were stunned.

It's not ......

"We've had heated arguments here countless times, but I didn't expect you to set the meeting here."

The craftsmen recognized each other immediately.

"Zolman ?!!"

"Huh...... I didn't expect you to remember me, Daniel.'"

Ayining frowned, and glanced at Luo Wei slightly for the first time.

It was none other than the Artisan Guild who had been killed by Luo Wei's own hands and burned out by the flames of Shaye's fire, Zolman.

Hey...... Hey!

Vimere was also stunned for a while, isn't this the "useless thing"?

Luo Wei shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, didn't he say that he would go to hell to occupy a place, why, people don't accept it?

Hacked to death twice and didn't die thoroughly, this guy is really a master of the resurrection game.

Zolman slowly calmed down, his hands open outward.

"As a former colleague, I sincerely advise you not to resist uselessly."

"A few of your dragons in the sky have been captured by us and successfully transformed into our slaves."

Vanessa's eyes narrowed.

Eluffa reached out to stop her, listening to what the other person wanted to say.

"I think you have learned the invisible truth, as you can see, the sky is only a shadow, and any efforts you make are but a vain."

"But don't worry, we'll soon bring disaster to the Crownless City once again, and we'll cower there begging the gods that don't exist to protect you."

There was a moment of silence on the field.

"If you want to lead us to defend the Crownless City, isn't this a little too clumsy?" Vimere said suddenly.

Of course, it was Luo Wei behind her who told her what to say.

Zolman glanced at her, feeling a little familiar, but smiled indifferently.

"Of course you can comfort yourselves, but don't forget what we've been here for."

"So, is the reason why you came out in such a panic to explain really tenable?" Vimill tightened her eyes, "After killing Rowe?" ”

Luo Wei: "......"

The latter sentence was improvised by her.

Zolman remembered who she was at this time, and closed his eyes coldly.

"At this point, if you want to believe it, try to touch the unattainable bubble."

He turned his back to Randall and raised his hand with interest.

"Lord Icarus's glow will surely shine on the earth!"

Then he narrowed his eyes, and his voice became cold.

"Welcome to witness the greatest wonder of the Second Continent, the Rising Crown City."

Rise to the crown city?

The information that the goddess of mechanics disappeared from the battlefield had already been informed of the presence there, but hearing that the goddess was recovered by the craftsman society still made people chuckle in their hearts.

I'm afraid it's hard for the legion to withstand another crusade of the goddess, let alone in the opponent's base camp.

This led to knowing that the other party was bluffing, but it still had a big impact on everyone present, after all, many people had not been able to come out of that battle, and the negative emotions were somewhat spreading.

Zolman looked at the scene and seemed satisfied.

"What we can give you is merciful......

His voice paused suddenly, and then he glanced behind him with a slight surprise, an action that caused everyone present to raise their heads.

"What's wrong? What's going on!'

Zolman seemed to be oblivious to what was happening in the projection that he didn't expect.

You can even see that his translucent body is faintly becoming tangible.

“？”

Vimere took advantage of the confusion to glance back, and Luo Wei shook his head without warning.

And Zolman in the picture is really becoming a real entity.

Is it ............?

……

To the southwest of the Crownless City, the Silent Night Forest.

A huge circle covering the forest was activating, and Elus stood on a high cliff at the edge of the wilderness, the leylines behind her glowing.

The strong wind of the ceremony whipped her long hair and skirt.

The witch looked at the huge city in the sky, watching it gradually turn into a physical entity in a blur, as if enjoying the scene, and gently brushed her fingertips over the corners of her mouth in the shock.

The depth of her eyes intensified the fate of this place.

Then gently reveal a seductive smile:

"How can there be a gambler who sits at the table and puts his chips at home..."
