"It's not good to go on like this..."
At the same time, on another roof located at the west gate of Freedom City, Liangchen Meiyu stood with a sword, looking at the battlefield that was becoming anxious, and murmured: "The players in Freedom City are all sleeping day and night.
Did it come out?"
"Yes, boss." A tall player standing next to him replied: "I heard that because there are fights every night, they are used to looking for work and fun at night..."
"Their online numbers are increasing."
Before the player could finish speaking, Liangchen Meiyu waved her hand towards him: "If it continues..."
"The southern entrance has been occupied by us, boss."
Another Wings of Freedom player suddenly appeared in the constant back and forth of the battlefield, trotting up to Liangchen Meiyu: "We will open this avenue into the city soon! Those coalition forces who retreated to the city
It has been cleared by us, and even the principality troops that appeared out of nowhere have withdrawn. Once the army from behind arrives, we will be able to completely occupy this city gate..."
"That's too late."
Sighing and listening to the sound of people coming from far away in the city, Liangchen Meiyu, who was holding a colorful sword, said with a serious face: "The players have started to go online. Once they join the battle one after another... the battle situation will tilt towards their side.
"
"How is that possible?" The tall player on the side laughed disdainfully: "Those passers-by can't beat us at all."
"But they are infinite."
Pointing to the figures flashing by in the distance in the street, Liangchen Meiyu sighed and shook her head: "They are familiar with this place, and they were resurrected in this place. Even if we can annihilate them more than a dozen times, we cannot guarantee that our side will be completely
There were no casualties.”
"Our background is all NPCs." He looked at the figures of the men in black who were passing by: "Once the damage to the restorers reaches a certain level, the outcome of this battle... I don't need to tell you.
?”
"Then... what should we do?" The player who just ran over to report the good news immediately put on a bitter face: "The president has already led his people to rush in, and the pirates from the military counselor's side should also have landed..."
"So...you have to learn to be flexible."
Nodding her forehead, Liangchen Meiyu showed a meaningful smile: "Since the battle should not drag on for too long, then... let's use our existing advantages to accomplish the set goals."
"Object, target?"
"Following the route provided by the previous restorers...I have marked several locations."
Taking out her adventurer's manual, Liangchen Meiyu clicked on the areas with red crosses on it: "The road to the south has been opened, right? Very good, pass my order... don't continue the fight.
Sneak in from Lasu Street and occupy these places for me first."
"The people inside... not a single person will be left alive."
"……yes!"
The chain reaction caused by the withdrawal of several guilds in the city due to the previous riots finally took effect, completely tearing apart the originally weak city defense, and the increasingly fierce urban battlefield finally began to flow, and then along the
Following the edge of the city gate that had just been breached, it spread towards the periphery of the city ring. The chaotic streets and alleys once again became the center of the battlefield, but this time many unknown people from various forces outside the city were mixed in.
With the efforts of Duan Qing, Likas and others, the local players who had just gone online finally understood the situation and joined the fight against the foreign invasion: "Someone is attacking our Free City!
"
"Where are my brothers? Call me all over!"
"Who is this idiot who has no eyesight and dares to invade our territory?"
"That's them! Those guys in black clothes...ahhhhh!"
boom--
The magical suppression from the Restorationists soon began to take effect in every corner of the city, releasing huge fireworks into the dark sky, but they obviously underestimated the rebellious spirit of the indigenous players in Liberty City, grinning and cursing.
The combined sound of voices and swords never stopped in their ears. It was not until the number of nearby players increased instead of decreasing, and the number of men in black began to decrease, that the attack wave that had broken through the city gate finally came.
There was no sign of stopping, and with the appearance of several magics such as giant ice walls and wind walls, the separated warring parties finally completely retreated to both sides, temporarily withdrawing as Duan Qing and the others had seen before:
"This is……"
"Why don't we fight? Labor and management haven't fought enough yet!"
"Chase! Chase me! You have offended the abbot and you still want to leave?"
"Wait a minute! They didn't leave!"
A loud shout rang out from the street in a corner of the city, and at the same time, a figure belonging to the wind-blown wheat wave appeared and fled in a hurry: "They have changed their target! Everyone, be careful!"
"Who are you from? Where do you belong?"
"We escaped from outside the city! When we ran to the city gate, they were still entering!"
"What? The city gate has been captured? Where are the Black Dragon Gang people?"
"I don't know, but I saw someone helping those men in black enter the city..."
"It seems...those are your guild members."
Amidst the sudden curses from all walks of life, Duan Qing showed a bright smile to Xue Ling Huan Bing beside him: "It's really a big deal. You have just joined a new force and you are working so hard..."
"Didn't I meet you in the end?" The cloak-covered woman was silent for a while, and finally curled her lips secretly: "Including Tanya's time... you have ruined our good things twice."
"Hey, hey, it's not certain who will win this time." Duan Qing pretended to be innocent and spread his hands: "And...why don't you go and help your friends?"
"...They don't need my help." The ice-cold woman remained silent for a longer time this time, and then said dullly: "They...don't know I'm here either."
"Is this so..."
As if aware of the other party's complicated mood, Duan Qing stopped teasing him this time, and looked past the noisy group of players behind him, and looked at the sky further away, where the faint black shadows were in the dark night.
The depths were constantly flashing, and from time to time a few imperceptible metal sparks could be emitted. The next moment, a shout passed through the crowd who were still arguing about whether to continue the pursuit and reached Duan Qing's ears.
: "Oops! The Rast Tavern was attacked!"
"What did you say?"
"The men in black appeared on West Street, and there were many players, they... they..."
The panting player didn't say the next word for a long time. He was so anxious that the captain who heard the news grabbed his collar. However, before people could digest the meaning of the news, another shout rang out again.
On the other side of the street: "Oh no! Wei..."
"The Vixis Tavern is under attack!" The new informant gasped loudly: "No one from the East City Club is here. The place is about to be occupied by men in black..."
"Brothers, go and support!"
*******************************
"So...you sent someone to the Dongcheng Society to ask for help?"
"Well...I didn't know the battle would turn out like this..."
"No need to apologize, I didn't expect the other party to change their tactics. But then again... what do they mean by specifically choosing a tavern to fight?"
"Of course it is to attack the power of the Shadow Society, and also to attack the locations of the major player guilds..."
In the chaotic streets, Duan Qing, who had finally squeezed out of the crowd, was chatting in a low voice with Heimai who was passing by: "All the major residences in the Free City are centered around taverns, so the latter one is understandable, but the shadows will
The power...didn’t you hear before that the owners of those taverns took their people out?"
"Maybe... maybe they were forced to retreat." Black Corn scratched his hair: "Coupled with the attack from the dock, all parts of the Free City are already in danger. As the main ruling military force of this city,
, it is understandable that they are not where they are..."
"I always feel that there are other reasons for this. I hope things are not as I thought."
Glancing in the direction of the Free City players who were still struggling with what to do, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that without good leadership and command, this group of rabble is only suitable to pile up here to resist those outside the city.
Temporary attack, if they can transfer efficiently, maybe we can compete with those restorationists to grab these key points..."
"key point?"
"The things that happened in the City Lord's Arena have proved that there is still a huge secret hidden in this city." Duan Qing said in a deep voice: "In order to get some secrets, the restorationists launched an operation to occupy this city.
But for some reason, they seem to want to occupy some places besides the City Lord’s Mansion..."
"...How is the situation in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Oh, I forgot that you have to save Gal." Duan Qing smiled and raised his head: "Why, you became loyal after being taken in by that old man?"
"Always do something more meaningful than salted fish." Black Corn pointed at the group of younger brothers behind him: "I have been adopted by that old guy for so long... Isn't it too unkind to leave him alone at this time?
Some?"
"I agree with you, although the result may not be satisfactory."
Looking back at the city center in the distance, Duan Qing pointed to the back of the city lord's mansion where the flames were rising: "That place should be barren of grass now. If you go there now, not only won't you find a single living person, but you might even be trapped in it."
…”
"We don't have a name adventure group. When have we ever been afraid of death?" Black Corn grinned: "What's more...since no one evacuated over there, it also proves that no one has broken in, right? Maybe there will be more
We can find a few survivors..."
"...That makes sense."
Duan Qing, who looked thoughtful, nodded: "That time the combination of magic just blew us players back. Several leader-level throne holders still don't know whether they are alive or dead. Although I think that old man may not have the same survival skills.
But you can go take a look..."
"I'm looking forward to a miracle from you, okay?" Duan Qing raised his hand with a smile as he said this: "Rescuing that old fox might really trigger some huge mission reward."
"Then I'll lend you my good words." Black Corn also nodded, and then waved back, gesturing for the younger brothers behind to follow him: "I hope your next actions..."
"It can be just as smooth."
The figures between the two people gradually staggered, and finally disappeared from each other's sight accompanied by the shouts of the surrounding players. Duan Qing and Xu Yu Liushang turned around and looked at each other, and then pointed to that side of the pier: "
It’s our turn next... Of the current Freedom City, only the north side should be unattacked, right?"
"Yes, sir." Ningyu Ninglan, with her hands folded, replied with a smile: "The battle at the city gate has stopped here, and the remaining people have temporarily retreated. The stronghold where the problem is currently occurring seems to have
They are all located in the south of Liberty City..."
"Then you go to the north of the city and take a look." Duan Qing gestured to Ciyu Ninglan: "See if they really want to occupy all the taverns..."
"Most of the taverns in the north are the territory of Tielin and Eduan. Except for Borderland and Devil's Paradise... very few players are active there." Whispering Liushang, who folded his arms, did not directly refute Duan Qing's suggestion.
, but analyzed in a low voice: "They are not really traitors, are they?"
"...Everything is difficult to confirm now, so we need more clues." Duan Qing replied in a deep voice: "But no matter who the traitor is, their purpose is certain, so the only thing that needs to be known is...
That’s what their purpose is.”
"What, do you already have a clue?"
"Their offensive line has proven a lot."
Pointing to the city map in his adventurer's manual, Duan Qing whispered to the others: "Here, here, and here... This is the place that is currently being attacked. Apart from strategic considerations, they attacked and
There is no advantage in occupying the place, the only thing that is special is...the distance between them is the same."
"...Magic circle?" Xu Yu Liushang whispered: "These places... seem to be evenly distributed in every direction in the city?"
"The Restorationists are now powerful enough to rival the two major countries. Not everything can be favored by them, but now they have used such a careful plan to occupy this city. There must be some higher meaning and value in this.
." Duan Qing clicked his finger around the ring-shaped city: "Twelve thrones, twelve throne holders... Huh, this number doesn't seem random now."
"This is...the dark magic cabin?"
Looking at the position where Duan Qing's hand stopped, a figure suddenly appeared next to him and exclaimed: "Is their next destination the black magic cabin?"
"It's one of the next destinations."
Looking at Likas jumping off the roof, Duan Qing replied with a smile: "When we continue to track..."
"We will know if there are twelve places they want to occupy."
