"This is called a battle plan."
Some time later, at the entrance of Han'an Village, Tres with a weathered face suddenly appeared in a far corner of the snowy field, and then stood expressionlessly in front of Duan Qing and Qianzhihe amid their surprised expressions.
: "Unplug all the informants in the surrounding villages and towns, and unify the forces of all parties...After these are completed, we plan to officially put the expulsion of the restorationists on the agenda."
"Is it...the schedule to attack Fenghua Town?"
"Fenghua Town? That's not the headquarters of the Restorationists."
Shaking his head slightly, Tres pointed to the east where they were: "The organization that calls itself the Magic Council should still be hidden in the Little Andachel Mountains in the east of the Fenghua Plain.
In the eyes of those who have made any move, Fenghua Town is just an accessory in their expansion process..."
"But the strategic significance there is huge."
Pointing to the adventurer's manual in his hand, Duan Qing said in a serious voice: "The coalition forces of the two countries have been waiting in the north of Fenghua Town. They have not made the next move. According to my judgment...
They were probably worried that they would be attacked from both sides, so they didn't continue heading east."
"Fenghua Town is indeed the center of this battlefield, but our Magic Council has no intention of investing more energy there." Tres Fa'ao said in a slow voice: "The purpose of the Magic Council is to solve the threat of the Magic Empire.
, we will only target the places where the rise of the restorationists is most intense..."
"With all due respect, Fenghua Town is likely to be the place where the Restorationists will invest the most energy in the next step." Duan Qing lowered his eyebrows and interrupted the other party: "Without your support for this combat plan, our chances of success would be very low.
It will undoubtedly be much lower..."
"If we hadn't supported this war, you might have died long ago!" Tres's voice amplified by two points: "The restorationists have successively sent out several dangerous people on the list, and they have been sent out every day.
It is raging everywhere in this land, and if there were not the great magician of the Seven-person Council sitting in charge, the balance of this war would have tilted long ago!"
"...In other words, her mentor is also busy fighting at the moment, right?"
"……I have no idea."
The tight air froze a bit as Duan Qing confronted the magician, and then relaxed again as he turned his head and sighed. He looked at the red-haired girl Tres with a sad face.
Then he put down his hand, and at the same time gave up the idea of continuing to refuse: "Ms. Freya should still be fighting somewhere on Hulan Mountain. I don't know the specific situation, but you can rest assured.
Those guys from the Restorationists shouldn’t pose any threat to her..."
"..."
"I understand your eagerness to take back the homes of those townspeople, and I support you in doing so." Facing the silent players, the magician waved his staff slightly: "But
If you want us to participate...well, given the current shortage of manpower..."
"Since your task is so heavy, how about we share some of it with you first?" Facing the brooding magician, Duan Qing suddenly suggested in a low voice: "Exchange of equal value is what adventurers always like to follow.
The rules are just that the order of help this time is..."
"...You want to help us?" Tres raised his eyebrows as expected: "Just based on the strength of you people?"
"Our strength and level should have been proven in previous missions." Duan Qing smiled and looked at the mountains behind him: "Would you like to report to you our mission report in the past few days? Or maybe a description
What does Tingsi Forest look like?”
"Tingslin? You actually went to Tingslin?" Then Tres's expression became even more exciting: "Such a dangerous place...how did you get up there?"
A unique small-scale combat meeting finally came to an end in this way, and then turned into a bragging meeting among adventurers. Even Qian Zhihe and Yu Meng, who had been standing by without saying a word,
In the end, Duan Qing's description of the strange forest opened his eyes. Tres, who had been listening attentively to Duan Qing's adventures, kept nodding his head, and at the same time looked at the things Duan Qing handed over from time to time.
The bone equipment kept admiring, until he heard the other party describe the furnace, his eyes gradually brightened: "So... is it that thing?"
"Although we don't know the specific purpose, we also think that it is something that the restorationists want to occupy." Duan Qing responded calmly: "We also discovered a lot before we finally died... and escaped from that place.
There are figures of the Restorationists, but they should have all died at the hands of those ancient beasts, and there was that last burst of energy..."
"The consequences of that energy wave are far from over."
The end of the staff's handle drew several curved marks on the snow, and Tris's voice also deepened: "Many colleagues, including me, later wanted to go to the location of the energy source to find out.
But that place is now surrounded by a huge energy field, making it difficult for even people at the level of great magicians to approach..."
"Is it... some kind of defensive measure?" Recalling the mechanical sound he heard beside the temporary furnace, Duan Qing asked with an unnatural expression: "The kind that no one can enter?"
"Probably." Tres continued paddling: "But according to your description, it may indeed be some kind of 'cutting-edge technology' left over from the ancient magic empire, a self-defense mechanism activated after suffering a severe impact.
…”
"That is to say... we can leave it there temporarily?" Duan Qing then looked at the horizon where the mountains are: "No one can get in now, and I don't know when it will be repaired.
…”
"But the restorers are still gathering in that direction." Tres shook his head slowly: "If your description is correct...that thing will be the center they want to seize next."
"The battlefield will be tilted in the direction of Hulan Mountain." He looked at the tracks he drew with his staff and sighed slightly: "Our strategy... looks like it needs to be changed.
.”
"Let's go back to the original intention of what we were talking about at the beginning." Duan Qing also showed a confident smile: "I am also accompanied by Master Freya's apprentices, several magicians who are of equal strength to me, and behind me there are
There are three entire adventure groups—can these powers be enough to help you?"
"Well……"
His eyes lingered on the village behind Duan Qing for a while, and the corners of Tres's mouth slowly raised: "Help each other... right?"
"Yes, we help each other." Duan Qing smiled slightly: "We will help you solve this seemingly bigger trouble, and you will help us solve the problem in Fenghua Town... How about this deal?"
"...a transaction with very equal strength and reward."
The curved lines drawn under his feet began to glow slightly, Tres lowered his head and sighed: "Since you want to participate so much..."
"Then just wait for my news."
Next to the village that was still echoing with the bustling crowds of people, an inconspicuous light suddenly flashed along with the drawing symbols the magician had left on the snow, and then disappeared together with the figure of the magician surrounding it.
In this vast snowfield.
******************************
The commission issued on behalf of the Mages Council was quickly handed over to Duan Qing.
After handing over all the remaining transfer tasks to Kidd, Duan Qing quickly led the others to leave the western part of the snowfield, and then rushed to Fenghua with the guidance conveyed to them by the Mages Council through various means.
The coalition forces in the north of the town gathered together, and a series of various experiences slowly unfolded along the way, extending outward along the northwest front of Fenghua Town, and sporadic battles also followed.
As the destination approaches, it spreads to the surroundings like an inexhaustible wildfire.
Among them are many players who have joined the Restorationists, as well as many people with extremely familiar faces.
"People from the Jianghu are here again! Tiangang people, prepare to fight!"
"What? Devil's Paradise has stolen our supply truck again? Are you all foodies? How many times will you suffer the same loss?"
"Report, report! A large number of Restorationist troops were found in the southwest, including suspected BOSS-level figures! The people from Lanshan have withdrawn first!"
"The latest news is that the new round of attacks by the Sword of Justice is still not organized. If a few small guilds nearby had not supported them, the coalition's defensive front in the east might have been defeated by the enemy..."
"The fortifications near the manor have been completed."
Walking together on the road to the camp where the coalition forces are located, the large army led by Duan Qing has been led by the guide sent by the Magic Council, and the person responsible for leading them to the center of the camp happens to be a magician player:
"This area is in charge of Tingyulou, and the ones to the east are in charge of people from Shuguang Glory. Although I don't know if it will play any role, it can at least allow their own people to stay here..."
"It's really a hodgepodge. There are people from every country." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head: "Aren't they afraid of conflicts between each other?"
"In fact... there have been a lot of conflicts." The magician replied with a wry smile: "Calming down the problems between these player forces has been something we have been busy with for a while, otherwise no matter how powerful we are,
The machine will also collapse from the inside. Fortunately, the enemy in front of us is strong enough and has been keeping an eye on them to alert them..."
"Judging from the comparison of players' forces, the strength of our opponent is obviously quite different, right? Excluding the Wings of Freedom, the only ones we need to deal with are those Restorers who can be regarded as powerful mobs...
…By the way, which guild are you from?”
"That, that... I'm from Wizard..."
"Weizad's? Has Fusheng Luimeng also come to this place? And is there a person named Yinzhu in your guild? He has been looking for Yuemeng before... Huh? Where is the person?"
"Ah hahaha... Maybe he got lost. The military advisor himself has been very busy in the past few days. We don't know his specific location..."
As if they were outside a market that stretched thousands of miles, Duan Qing and his friends just watched players passing by him one after another, carrying various tasks and call signs.
, constantly entering and exiting the dangerous battlefield, the Fenghua Town Mountain City in the distance also appeared in front of them again as the distance approached, but the calm appearance that originally belonged to it had been completely broken, with a faint glow of fire.
Explosions also followed their passing, appearing in the snowfields near the mountain town from time to time.
It was in such an environment that I met Christine again.
"Ah... dear adventurers."
Turning around in front of several magicians, Christine, who was still wearing a gorgeous blue robe, showed a warm smile on her face, and then abandoned the man who seemed to be talking to her.
Several figures slowly floated in front of Duan Qing: "Since Tania's last separation, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to meet you again. I thought I would not appear in this war, but I didn't
To think that you actually came to the door..."
"Welcome to this dance."
She spread her hands, and her overflowing smile later turned into a gentle smile: "I hope you... can leave a beautiful memory here."
"This is not a good sign, because we are not strong people."
His eyes secretly glanced at the figures behind her who were pulled down for a while. Duan Qing bent down and saluted with a wry smile on his face: "Even if the memories are left... I'm afraid it won't be much better."
"You are a party to the transaction and a collaborator of the Council of Mages."
Blinking at Duan Qing, Christine stood up and pinched a corner of the blue robe: "The content conveyed by Tres has been discussed by our Mage Council, and your strength has been obtained
Our affirmation, the assistance you can provide...is also one of the things we have been looking forward to. "
"……ah?"
"Gardevoir has told us everything you have done in the Free City."
Stretching out her right arm towards Duan Qing, who had just straightened up in surprise, Christine performed the standard magician etiquette with a slightly solemn expression: "Please allow me, on behalf of the Council of Mages, to express our gratitude again."
"Thank you for saving her."
The setting sun shines on the long aqua-blue hair that hangs down. It also shines on the several magicians who were originally standing behind this graceful woman. Players who are still shuttled around gather here.
With shocked eyes, they slowly gathered together, and then followed Christine's actions and lowered their heads together.
