"Um... we don't need to go to this point, right?"
Back when the time was earlier, the confrontation between two men at the entrance of the fortress gate had completely attracted the attention of nearby people. Among the crowd watching the excitement, the soldiers of the Principality from inside the fortress and some unidentified passers-by might have something to say in their minds.
There are still some doubts, but most players still know the identities of these two people.
The news of Variety Star Lord vs. Savage King also spread to the surrounding area at this time.
"You don't have to think too much, Brother Mo."
The venue has been completely occupied by onlookers from the fortress, and the square near the entrance has been completely surrounded. The two people surrounded in the venue also slowly opened up their stance, and one of them, a man holding a black sword, looked at him.
Staring at the opposite side coldly, he made a weird gesture: "Just treat it as... a normal martial arts competition."
How is this possible...
Looking at the people around him who had started shouting, and the red girl who was pushed aside by them and was spinning anxiously, Duan Qing showed a helpless smile: "Can you... change the time?"
"Brother Mo, is there anything else important?"
"No...well, I'd rather find someone."
"That Ilot? Is he your friend, or your new mission line?" Qingtian's voice was still cold, as if the worldly world was no longer within his consideration: "Don't worry, people won't run away.
It won’t be too late for you to look for it after that, besides...it won’t take you a long time.”
"Ten minutes... no, probably five minutes is enough."
With these words, he began to walk forward slowly, dragging the weapon in his hand to the ground, making a clicking sound when it collided and rubbed against the stone slab. But Duan Qing, who saw this scene, still did not pull out the giant knife behind his back.
, just waving his hands and stepping back: "That's not the key to the problem..."
call--
In the splash of sparks, Duan Qing's wretched figure flashed out from the sudden explosion of the sword. After rolling a few times, he suddenly stood up straight: "Hey, sneak attacks are not what a man would do..."
"I came over at the right moment, does it count as a sneak attack?" Qingtian ducked down and made a sprinting stance: "Brother Mo laughed."
"wait……"
call--
The same sound of breaking through the air roared past in front of everyone again, hitting Duan Qing's body that had just stopped and had not yet stood firm. However, unlike what the bystanders imagined, this time the attack still did not hit.
Center - The black evil wind swept horizontally from the height of his waist, and was dodged by a standard iron bridge.
"If the fight continues like this, I will be wronged..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
With this loud shout, the black blade turned into a whirlwind and blew violently in the direction of Duan Qing. While blowing away the surrounding earth and rocks, it also forced the nearby onlookers to take a few steps back.
He avoided this sharp edge. However, Duan Qing, who was at the center of the storm, was still unharmed because he had already run to the side like a bird that saw the opportunity early.
"Stop, stop, stop! Brother, what did I do wrong? Can't I just change it?"
Whoosh!
Duan Qing, who was half-crouching on the ground, quickly stood up, and the blade of the knife passed through the tip of his nose, and then stopped the moment he was about to hit the stone slab. Qingtian, who was holding the handle of the knife with both hands, shouted loudly, and the tip of the knife hit him.
He instantly flipped the angle and thrust it toward Duan Qing's chest. Then he turned his backhand and slashed at the figure who had fallen to the ground to dodge in desperation——
clang!
With a crisp impact, Duan Qing, whose back was about to touch the ground, kicked off his feet and flew through the air, sliding to the ground not far away.
"I... five minutes are already here, right?"
"If you keep hiding like this, even if it takes ten to five minutes... you won't be able to solve the problem."
The black giant knife pulled out several blades around Qingtian, and then thrust it straight into the ground. Duan Qing, who was on the ground not far away, didn't say anything and just got up on his own: "Alas...
"
"Just now...I heard from the person next to me that you have a nickname?"
"It's all nonsense, so don't listen." The man in black, standing on his hands, raised his chin and replied coldly: "Brother Mo, have you thought about it?"
"Various Star Lord...that name sounds quite domineering."
"I know you used to be... this ability shouldn't be difficult for you."
"Haha." Duan Qing laughed: "No wonder..."
"Has anyone ever told you that you are not suitable for using a knife?"
Qingtian's face turned dark.
"The iron rod you used before looks very good, but this knife..." Duan Qing said with a smile: "Just looking at the shape, it's not suitable for you to use."
"The change just now is already your limit, right?"
"...What Brother Mo said is true." After bowing his head in silence for a while, Qingtian said in a low voice: "But...so what?"
With a bang, he pulled the tip of the knife out of the ground, then raised one hand flat and pointed at the opponent opposite: "You didn't even return my hand, do you have the qualifications to say this?"
"To put it bluntly, you just want me to take action, right..." Duan Qing shook his head gently: "So... there is a problem."
"Brother Qingtian has been here for so long, so he must be a powerful person, but he came to fight with me and deliberately didn't use the weapons he is good at..."
Duan Qing grinned: "What do you mean?"
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Qingtian was silent for a while, then raised his head: "...It's very simple."
"I want to prove... that I am better than you." He said, "That's all."
Yes, another guy with great ambitions...
There was a wry smile in his heart, but Duan Qing made a solemn expression on the surface: "I see, I understand."
He moved his hand backwards: "In this case, I won't take action..."
"It doesn't seem appropriate either."
"Okay, okay, okay, finally let's do it for real!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I've been waiting for so long..."
"Come on, let's place your bets. Let's see how you feel. The Variety Star King pays three for one, and the Savage King pays five for one..."
As the crowd's voices gradually grew louder, Qianzhihe, with tears in his eyes, finally ran to Qicai Lingguang's side: "Brother, go and persuade those two people..."
"You're here, I'm still trying to persuade you."
Smiling bitterly and touching the girl's head, Colorful Emmanuel turned around and asked a player next to him: "How is it? Who do you think can win?"
"I have no idea."
The one who answered him was the autumn grasshopper who had been on the same team with Duan Qing before: "I can't see anything, the time is really too short. But..."
"That guy has a lot of experience in virtual games, which is true."
"That means... all his stories are true?"
"I don't dare to guarantee this. After all... there are many things that I don't know." The autumn grasshopper crossed his arms and replied: "If you are interested, you can also ask our president. In fairness,
Sword...you are welcome to come at any time."
"Stop talking about these things, aren't you just trying to get us into the meeting? I won't be fooled!"
Qicai Lingguang said angrily, then looked at the two people who were facing each other again in the field and said: "It's you... why are you back here?"
"Are you asking knowingly? Are you deliberately making me angry? Why else can I..."
"But there is also a team competition, right? Listen to Free World, this time, the team competition will be very exciting..."
"That will be a few days later. At least the individual competition must be determined to a level that can hold offline competitions, and the players must rest for a while." Autumn Grasshopper replied: "So I still have a few days.
You can rest..."
boom--
A huge roar echoed in everyone's ears, but the roar did not come from the battle field where Duan Qing was, but came from the distant fortress. When everyone looked up in shock, a huge
, a circular circle formed by air waves was sweeping the sky above the fortress, and even the blazing midday sun seemed to be blocked by the impact of this huge explosion.
"...It seems that there is no time to rest."
The next moment, a rain of gravel caused by the explosion fell from the sky and hit all the players on the head.
"Whoa, ah, ah, what's wrong, what's wrong..."
"It exploded? Where?"
"It hurts, it hurts... holy shit, I'm bleeding. It hurts so much to hit someone with a stone."
"There! That's the top level of the fortress, I remember that's..."
An answer just emerged in everyone's mind, and the running and shouting of the guards began to appear in the crowd of adventurers: "Attack! Someone is attacking!"
"Alert! Alert!"
"Don't panic! Run away, guys! The Imperials are outside, raise your spears and swords, it's time to teach them a real lesson! Hey, you adventurers..."
As the command sounded from far to near, Captain Sranko, who was guarding the door, ran into the crowd of players: "Don't just sit around here! Get ready for me..."
"Captain, do you want to close the door..."
"Nonsense! Are you going to invite them in without closing the door?"
"Yes Yes……"
Looking at the scene that had become chaotic due to the sudden accident, as well as the several guards who were busy under the command of Silanke, Duan Qing held his forehead and slowly closed his eyes: "Are you reliable?
ah……"
Guluulu——
Among the scurrying crowd, an object flying from nowhere suddenly fell onto the empty stone slab, and then slowly rolled to the soles of the crowd. Such details were very important in such a chaotic scene.
It is difficult for others to notice, but Duan Qing noticed it, and the first thing he noticed was the discordant sound caused by this ethereal rolling.
That white ball looks familiar...
He opened his eyes and accurately found the source of the sound, and then... his pupils began to shrink.
His heart began to beat inexplicably, and Duan Qing's eyelids trembled up and down. He stared closely at the object that suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and all the muscles in his body tensed up. The tinnitus and the chaotic sound of the crowd were interactively transmitted to his brain.
, but it seemed that it was no longer within the scope of his thinking. He took a hard breath, and then while his subconscious gave him some kind of warning, he suddenly fell to the ground behind him.
boom--
Twenty seconds had not passed since the last explosion, and an explosion almost identical to the previous one was re-staged in the square next to the gate.
************************
"...alive..."
"Awake……"
"Wake up..."
"...Is it okay...?"
What……
Hazy vision gradually appeared in Duan Qing's eyes. He slowly opened his eyes, and then the moment his consciousness returned to his mind, he felt nerve signals coming from all over the body, and almost all the signals fed back were
It's the same thing, it's pain.
Severe pain all over the body.
"Ah..." A subconscious moan came out of his mouth, Duan Qing opened his eyes completely, and then found that he seemed to be lying under the fortress's patio, next to a stone pillar that had not yet collapsed. The tinnitus still occupied his hearing.
It is gradually fading away, replaced by a cry that is slowly becoming clearer: "Are you still alive? Stand up!"
What...who?
He turned his head with difficulty, and what appeared in his field of vision was the figure of the captain of the fortress guard named Sranko.
"Damn, there aren't many people alive...can you still hear me?"
whispering sound……
With both hands on the ground, Duan Qing moved his body, then raised his head: "What happened..."
"Explosion, it's an explosion!" The guy's loud voice rang out again: "Someone threw a bomb at us! It's not an ordinary bomb, but a magic bomb! Damn it, the Council of Mages explicitly prohibits such behavior, the empire
The beasts...have lost their face!"
"Emperor, where are the Imperial people?"
"They are attacking! The gate has been severely deformed. While you are still alive, get up quickly and hide behind..."
"Team, Captain..." A voice rang in Duan Qing's ears, and then amplified as the source approached: "Captain! Report to the Captain!"
"Cut the nonsense! Hurry!"
"The command room...the place where the explosion occurred is the command room!"
"I damn well know where these imperial brats will choose! Where is the general?"
"General, the general's whereabouts are unknown..."
"What! Is Dusk really...impossible? Labor and capital have both survived. How could the general be exposed to such a thing..."
"Captain! The Empire's cavalry, the Empire's cavalry is coming!"
"Whatever you are afraid of, come to me! Where are the people? You guys, get up quickly! I know these adventurers are unreliable..."
Hey, hey, what does this have to do with us adventurers...
Holding on to the pillar next to him, Duan Qing stood up with difficulty, and then he looked around and realized that the scene in front of him had been bombed into a mess. Bodies lying on the ground or hanging on the broken wall in the distance were everywhere.
Some belong to players, and some are soldiers from the Principality who were watching the fun just now. Some of the guys who survived were still screaming and crawling back under the rescue of their companions, and there were also shouts and calls for help from various guards in the middle.
.In a scene that was even more chaotic than before, only the area around him seemed to remain intact, and some of the soldiers running around reported to the captain next to him from time to time.
"Koval from the third team is missing, and Sloan is seriously injured..."
"Second team, there are only three people left in the second team!"
"Captain Custa is missing! Chief Fias sent an order, asking us to hold on here first..."
"Shou, keep your ass!"
As his vision gradually became clearer, a big hand passed in front of him, accompanied by Silenko's shout: "At least half of the people here are dead! The other half are wounded, and the door can't be closed yet."
Come on, what do you want me to do..."
He paused, then took a deep breath.
"%#a#, give them all to the labor and management, stay at the gate!" He yelled: "No one from the empire is allowed to come here!" (To be continued.)
