Just like the haze lingering on everyone's minds, the continuous dark clouds hovering in the central area of the Free Continent have not moved away from their heads as time goes by. The continuous heavy rain has finally accumulated over a long period of time.
It has become a disaster that everyone is in danger of. Centered on the relatively low-elevation Talon Plain, it gradually spreads to the surrounding areas. More and more flood control posts have appeared at the top of the fortress, belonging to the Fars Fortress.
The fiery scene began to become more and more obvious as the continuous heavy rain continued to fall, and this also made the soldiers who seemed a little relaxed after the training was cancelled, and their burdens became heavier and heavier.
In order to survive, a large-scale plan to dig canals and drain water was finally placed on the command table in front of Dusk. More and more new forces, including players from the principality, were eventually drawn into this flood fight by the marshal.
In the midst of combat.
"Fortunately, the terrain here is pretty good."
Pointing to the figures that were constantly directing rainwater into the surrounding ditches, Chaori Dongsheng, who was leaning on the edge of the barracks, sighed and said: "Even if it is located in the valley of Falon Mountain, the height of Fars Fortress is higher than that of Falon next to it.
The plain is much higher than the Talon Plain, and coupled with the existence of the Fenner River... it is relatively easy to save this fortress from a submerged future."
"Isn't it the identity of the Empire that we should be most grateful for?" Gedman, who was maintaining the surface of the shield in his hand and covered with bandages, then shook his head: "Whether it's because of face or fear of intelligence leakage.
, they will not hire us to do such a dangerous thing at this time, although this will cause us to be very idle, and our plans to set off have been blocked here..."
Because of the heavy rain, several people's plans to join up with the main force of Reina's investigation team were temporarily blocked in the fortress. As the nominal leader and leader of this team, Xueling Huanbing
Naturally, he understands this very well: "I have already expressed our wishes to Dusk, and I hope they will not continue to cause trouble for us."
"That's true, but staying shut all the time is not an option." Spreading his hands, Asahi Dongsheng's expression became mysterious again: "Otherwise, let's go out and find a hidden boss.
Give it a try? I heard that some ancient ruins suddenly appeared on Falon Hill in the north due to mudslides and landslides..."
"Stop." He stretched out his hand to block the other party's intention to continue. Gedman replied expressionlessly: "That place has long been proven to be an ancient underground passage leading to the fortress. You don't need to use this outdated method anymore."
information to deceive us."
"How, how is it possible?" Asahi Dongsheng put on a dry smile again: "Even if there is really some secret passage there, the value of us going to explore it is still very high, just in case it happens in the future.
When the two countries are at war, that passage might also become our trump card, right?"
"Don't underestimate the IQ of the people of the Principality. Everything you can think of has already been thought of by others." Gedman replied with a dark face: "The Principality recently used it as the outlet for the flood discharge of Fars Fortress.
Most of the water in the fortress has even been drained underground into the Felong Plain. If you go at this time, wouldn't you just become a dead fish in the flood?"
"Then, what should we do? We can't just stare here every day, right?" Asahi Dongsheng crossed his arms with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Brother Lin also has a teacher who can help with homework, how can we just do it every day?
Are you here to watch the rain?”
"If my injury hadn't healed yet, I could have sparred with you again."
It seemed that his teeth were itching with anger. He wiped the surface of the shield and rubbed his lips: "Since the opportunity to teach you a lesson is no longer available, let's discuss something more appropriate."
"Discuss? Discuss what?" Asahi Dongsheng stared at his confused eyes: "Is it still the battle that night? Come on, you have chewed the details three times. Except that the opponent is too strong, there is no
Apart from the conclusion of "comparability," what else can you discuss?"
"Gedman is right, we still have something worth discussing." The silence was finally broken. Xueling Huanbing, who was sitting in the middle of the table, then turned his attention to the silent man sitting in the corner.
Yun Meng's head: "Don't we have someone here who is very familiar with him?"
"Wouldn't it be better to let him explain?"
In the scene where several people were approaching Yumeng, an interrogation meeting was held vigorously under the auspices of the Qingling Adventure Group, but Duan Qing, one of the parties involved, did not appear in this lively meeting at this time.
Inside the event, Violet was still following the so-called training mission. Without any intention to cooperate with the training, the gray-robed magician, who was still at level zero, could only obey the purple-haired woman with a wry smile.
He meditated quietly on the instructions, until even he, a weather-beaten old player, began to feel a little bored. The knock on the door of their barracks reluctantly broke the rare peace in the rain: "Brother Lin
, are you here?”
"...Please come in."
With the tacit consent of Violet, who was called to follow but actually to monitor, Duan Qing, who was hiding a look of joy, also issued an invitation, and the warrior players who were bearing the words "Cang Yun Barrier" also pushed away.
They opened the small door in front of them, and then took off the black cloak used to protect them from the rain: "Still practicing? Brother Lin is really working hard."
"I know what you want to say. After all, it's not like that for a player with no level to mess around here." Duan Qing curled his lips and replied, "Just get to the point."
"The people from Jianghu are still accompanying the soldiers from the principality to carry sandbags in front." Cangyun Biba, who pointed to his back and sat down, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "They don't seem to be planning to object anymore.
Prepare to treat this sandbag battle as a training in the principality fortress... Hahahahaha! If you haven't seen Duan Shanyue's stinky face, he is probably going crazy, hahahahahaha
!”
"Who made the principality disappear when it needed them most?" Duan Qing also made two wry smiles: "Although I do know the reason why they didn't show up that night, it was probably because they were influenced by a certain tavern owner.
I’m so angry, I don’t know where to go to vent my anger.”
"The tavern owner also played some role and killed another unit of the Red Lotus Gang." It seemed that the topic was on the right track again, Cangyun Barrier put away his smile: "Those people...
Their strength is indeed not simple, they are worthy of being people that even the mountains are afraid of."
"...Where is the Red Lotus Gang? Have their identities been confirmed?"
"Of course it was confirmed, even the fact that they wanted to bury bombs underground."
After sorting out his face, Cangyun Barrier's expression gradually became serious: "I really didn't expect that a small gang within the empire would even dare to accept the commission to attack the fortress."
"It wasn't with that guy's strength." Duan Qing shook his head: "If it weren't for that guy Yinzhu taking the lead, those gangsters alone wouldn't have been able to break into such a large fortress."
"yes."
Taking a deep breath, Cangyun Barrier's gaze began to become deeper and deeper: "I also saw the appearance of the east gate. It is definitely something that only a super master can do. Being able to kill such a big thing with one sword
The entire metal city gate was chopped into pieces, and not even a few professional players in the league could do it."
"Of course, except you monster-level people." His eyes fell on Duan Qing: "Do you know him?"
"Maybe we know each other." Duan Qing shook his head and hesitated for a moment before replying in a low voice: "Because the two of us have changed our identities and appearances, we should not be able to recognize each other.
.”
"If you have any clues, you must tell me." Cangyun Barrier replied slowly: "This is a rare and good candidate. How can we not recruit him and give him a try?"
"Recruiting? What are you thinking about?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "Isn't that guy from Wizard?"
"ha?"
After staring at Duan Qing for a long time, Cangyun Barrier finally let out a strange cry: "He is from Wizard? How do you know? Isn't he a warrior? How could it be possible for someone like Wizard who only accepts mages?
Can such a master come out?"
"Wizzard does not only accept mages. After all, it is difficult for a pure magician team to win in large competitions." Duan Qing shook his head: "As for why he is a member of Wizard...it is Xiao Qian.
Tell me."
"She saw the sunset that night." Hiding the information he might know, he pointed to the east of the camp and said, "It's on the city wall in the direction Yinzhu left."
"……oh?"
After looking at Duan Qing with his chin raised for a while, Cangyun Barrier's expression gradually became more exciting: "I have heard that there is a reaction between magicians and magicians, but Thousand-fingered Cranes and Sunset Solitary Smoke"
"I know what you are suspecting, but Xiao Qian is already at a level that can rival any active master." Duan Qing nodded and replied, "If Xiao Qian hadn't appeared near the battlefield that night, Luo Rigu Yan would have pointed out in the end
Maybe my brain will get hot and I will help that Yinzhu in the end."
"If people of this level join forces, the final result of the battle is still unknown." Cangyun Barrier sighed in agreement: "But if they can really break in, there are still a few people left behind by me and us in Lanshan.
…”
"So it's meaningless to talk about words like 'if'." Duan Qing waved his hand: "Let's talk about a more practical topic... What are you going to do in this situation now?"
"Of course we don't want to stay in this fortress full of people from the principality." Cangyun Barrier patted his body: "After we have completed the tasks at hand, we will also find an opportunity to set off."
"Xiao Qian has disappeared recently. I'm afraid he is looking for traces of the Red Lotus Gang." Duan Qing also sighed: "Should we be well prepared to meet with His Highness Reina?"
"The issue of the Red Lotus Gang is indeed worthy of our further discussion." Slowly standing up, Cangyun Barrier opened the door again and walked into the rain: "If there is really no other way"
"Just pass the blame to them first."
Looking at the scene of the other party leaving in a hurry again, Duan Qing, who was sitting there, shook his head with some sadness. His thoughts of calming down and thinking were interrupted by Violet behind him.
And her figure gradually emerged from the invisible state: "What is the alliance...?"
"Uh, it's an organization within our adventurers." Duan Qing's stuttering voice began to become smoother as he danced his fingers: "We adventurers hold a martial arts tournament every year, and they are the managers.
existence like that.”
"Then the professional players you mentioned just now are also a group of people like this?" Different from the seriousness when teaching magic before, Violet's face at this time was full of interest: "
Were you once one of them?"
"It used to be..." Duan Qing's hesitant voice became longer: "In short, I have withdrawn from that circle now, and those people I knew have become history."
"I can't see it." Violet straightened up and stared at Duan Qing's face with her chin raised, then circled around him: "You still have an unyielding will... You must still have
You want to go back to that arena, right?"
"Oh, don't talk about me anymore!" Duan Qing, who didn't know how to answer, shouted hurriedly: "Do you want to continue meditating? If so, don't disturb me anymore."
"Today's meditation practice will end here first." She reached out and stroked her cheek, and Violet's mature and beautiful face became brighter: "While everyone else is away, the two of us will
Let’s start by telling some stories that are usually not told to outsiders, okay?”
"Are you that interested in me?" Avoiding the burning breath in the other person's eyes, Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "Instead of discussing these meaningless contents, we might as well talk about Yinzhu.
What do you think of that person?"
"...he is an enemy worth noting."
Her eyes gradually became sharper, and Violet, who had let go of Duan Qing, said in a low voice: "If he appears in front of us again, I will consider using my full strength to deal with him."
"No, no, no, there is no such clear boundary between enemies and friends among adventurers." Duan Qing waved his hand hurriedly: "I mean, what do you think of his purpose?"
"Isn't he here to catch that little guy named Yunmeng?" Violet blinked her eyes, and her expression became confused: "Is there any problem here?"
"So the problem lies with Yunmeng." Duan Qing sighed and replied: "A person who has been hunted by Yinzhu but has been escaping until now, and then rushed to discover the true intentions of the Honglian Gang before everyone else."
"You don't look like a person who doesn't know anything."
