"Captain, this..."
"It's so arrogant, who does she think she is..."
"The new ones joining our six teams..."
"Come when you want, leave when you want, what kind of place do you think our Wings of Freedom is..."
"If she goes out and talks nonsense, will it be harmful to our guild..."
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
Seeing the girl walking away so freely, some of the remaining people sitting over there became excited. Some people thought that the girl who had only been here for a few days and walked away with a straight face was too ignorant of the rules, and some people
Do you think it would be inappropriate for a newcomer to leave so casually? If she went out and made some bad remarks, would it have a bad impact on the reputation of the guild? The leading captain should be a rather dignified one.
Leader, a few words calmed down the passionate scene. He looked at the other people who had not expressed their opinions, and there was nothing much - they were all team members who usually had a good relationship with the lively girl. They
The current silence is undoubtedly the issue that should be paid attention to right now.
"Wuji, I know your difficulties, but it's not like you don't understand her character. Isn't it not good to be like this now..." The silence lasted for a while, and the person sitting next to the captain slowly opened his mouth.
Guokou, he was probably a military advisor in the team or something like that.
"...It doesn't matter." After a long time, the captain known as Wuji breathed out: "Such people are everywhere, and this kind of situation happens every day... What kind of big guy are you and me?
I’ve never seen this scene before, so there’s no need to change anything just for a new person.”
"I know you may be unhappy." The captain looked at the silent subordinates and said slowly: "If you think it is inappropriate or problematic, you can report it to the president in the future, but I still have to...
...." He paused and looked around at his team members: "The current arrangement is to maximize everyone's interests, and also to...not disrupt our plan."
The silence lasted for a moment, and everyone nodded.
"Aalong Ahu, these three pieces of equipment are still given to you today. You can discuss it yourself. I look forward to your performance." The captain emphasized his decision again, and then turned to the others: "The plan remains unchanged. Brother Xiong,
It's up to you to make arrangements in this regard." He said to the person sitting next to him: "I'm sorry to bother you."
The man who was called Brother Xiong should be, and then whispered: "I heard news from the guild headquarters. The top officials of the empire seem to be discussing whether to start a war..."
"Of course I have listened to that." The captain waved his hand: "The president is paying close attention to the trends of the military department. After all, there is still some relationship between us, so it is easier to ask. The news has not been confirmed yet, even if it is confirmed,
Whether it is beneficial to us still needs to be studied..."
"Yes, after all, we are in the principality now. If the war breaks out here, I don't know if it will..."
"No, it's such a long distance..." The captain shook his head: "Let's do our thing with peace of mind and let the big guys in the empire continue the discussion. Maybe they won't finish the discussion by the time we get it done.
..."
"It's also..."
The people at the tables fell into silence and thinking again, and Brother Xiong frowned again: "This matter tonight is still not good for that girl after all. I wonder if I should go to her to persuade her...
.”
"I'm sorry...forget it, you can go if you want, I don't care." The captain returned impatiently: "Anyway, today's decision...will not change."
"The future plans remain as usual."
***************
"Future plans... do not need to be changed for the time being."
Frey Empire Capital, Redcar.
Langdon Tavern, the same night, there is still a round table, but this table is a round table in a room inside the tavern. In the prosperous imperial city, top-notch tavern services are available, but for weak players, few are qualified
You can get a glimpse of the whole place. But basic private rooms can still be booked. The large rooms and various free-era furnishings allow players or residents of the free continent to talk as much as they want while quietly enjoying wine and other services.
Do public and private matters without worrying about being overheard by others.
At this time, there were several people dressed like players sitting around the round table, seemingly discussing things. Judging from the equipment on their bodies, they were all players in the player class. One of them was wearing a silver suit.
A man in battle armor with two gleaming silver swords hanging on both sides of his waist was sitting on the middle seat. His two beards were twitching in the air as he spoke, and coupled with his serious look, it was quite charming.
The temperament of some superiors.
The current president of the Wings of Freedom Guild, Fly Free.
"...Things like that are still the target we want at the moment. We have now found the approximate location. The people from the Sixth Team have already inquired about some information. Now they are organizing personnel to make detailed arrangements. Even if a war breaks out,
These will not be affected for the time being.”
He rested his elbows on the round table and slowly lowered his head: "And, if possible, we might be able to fight in the war..."
"The most important thing now is what the emperor and those ministers think, and whether they will agree to... start a war." A male player sitting next to him said, he was wearing a white
He was wearing a robe, wearing a monocle on his left eye, and holding something like a book in his hand. He adjusted his glasses with his hand and spoke carefully, but at this time there was something in his voice.
Worry: "From my personal perspective, I still hope... not to start a war."
"Don't be cowardly, our strategist! Fighting is a very interesting thing!" Another man wearing a black armor said. He has a hedgehog head flying to the sky, a big sword on his back, and his voice is surprisingly loud.
: "Men should aim at the battlefield! If we don't go to the battlefield to fight, how can we reflect the romance and strength of men like us, hahahaha..."
"Don't make any noise, Tieban!" a woman sitting on his side yelled, patting the table in front of him. Although her appearance was not stunning, her big eyes were still very attractive. And she had a full head of hair.
The fiery red long hair, although wearing a suit of armor, is designed for women in a lightweight style, which not only protects some key parts, but also highlights her voluptuous figure. The ID of the man in iron armor clearly says "half a box of cigarettes", but the woman's
Calling him Iron Ban is probably a deliberate nickname given to him: "Don't associate a fighting maniac like you with us, okay? If you want to commit suicide, you can do it yourself..."
"Hey, you don't understand the joy of fighting at all, so women..."
"You——what——what——" the woman gritted her teeth, looking like she was about to get angry.
"Okay, okay, don't argue." Wings of Freedom saw that the situation was not good, and quickly took action to stabilize the situation: "The war will not happen because of your and my wishes. It is better to wait for the latest news. After all, Bing'er and the others have already
They're on the road, so it's not good to let them come back." He sat down and let out a breath: "Let's take a look first and wait for the reply from the birds..."
As the capital of the Fleur Empire, Redcar is naturally extremely prosperous. Even at night, the brightness of the lights still illuminates this centuries-old ancient city as if it were daytime. Under the illumination of various magical lights, people are everywhere enjoying the night.
The crowds of life, bars, banquets, competition venues, amusement parks, and all kinds of entertainment activities can dazzle every country wanderer who has just arrived here. But on this night on the 5th of the Earth Month in the New Calendar 795,
However, in the imperial palace of the empire, there were no scenes of singing and dancing, and the joy of emperor and ministers.
White window lattice, golden walls, on both sides of the extremely luxurious palace gate, in addition to the guards standing as usual, there are also two majestic statues, which are said to be the statues of the two generals beside the founding emperor Queen Frey.
They stand on both sides of the palace gate to show that they share the honor and disgrace of the empire.
Statues like this can be seen inside the palace. Under the bright yellow magic lamp, there are statues like soldiers and officers placed everywhere. They are placed symmetrically on both sides of the red carpet in the middle, and on the carpet
At the end of the extension, the big chair where the emperor sat was placed on a high black platform. The high platform extended to all sides, gradually lowering as the steps spread, and then formed a larger platform, and then the steps extended again and continued to extend...
....Each platform is surrounded by some fixed seats. As the area of the platform expands, the number of mounts naturally increases gradually. Since it is night, the magical lights illuminate the surroundings of the seemingly ordinary high platform.
It was so transparent that it seemed to be plated with a layer of gold. At this time, in addition to the emperor's seat, there were still several people sitting on the seats on the top platform.
The materials of those seats are naturally excellent. The layer closest to the throne is made of a kind of ore dug out from the relics of the Magic Age. Perhaps these stones were used to store magic materials at that time, but
After hundreds of years, it has lost its function, and instead turned into a raw stone like black jade. The bright black color looks particularly solemn in this vast space and heart-stopping height.
But the person sitting on it now seems a little restless.
"Member Smith from the intelligence department has returned. After confirmation, the information he brought back is very reliable. Gentlemen, what are you still hesitating about? This is the best opportunity..."
"No, no, no, Minister Susas, our arrangement of garrison fortresses in the southwest of the border - you may call it reality - has loopholes. It may have been discovered on the Principality's side..."
"So what? As long as it's possible, we have a reason. As for capabilities...don't you think our army has defeated those loosely aligned ragtag armies, Chancellor Caldera?"
"As long as we don't have a proper reason, we will be resisted by your so-called miscellaneous army, respected Mr. Minister." With the swing of his gray hair, the old prime minister in a noble dress slowly shook his head and continued to respond to the other party in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
Attack: "We know the characteristics of those miscellaneous armies very well, and I think... you should know it too." The old man said unhurriedly: "And there is a rebellion in the north of the empire...
....”
"You should be able to distinguish the priorities, Prime Minister." At this moment, another voice came from the other side of the Prime Minister, that was the voice representing the highest officer of the Imperial Ministry, Marshal Reid.
"Those small rebellions can be solved with only one of my capable generals and some brave soldiers..." The marshal is old, so Suya is already gray, but he is wearing imperial clothes.
The black background of the ** general's military uniform fully demonstrated the killing momentum of the soldiers. His voice was low, but the power was not reduced at all: "However, if the intelligence is confirmed to be true, we do need to use our strength to
...to express our wishes."
The prime minister lowered his head, his old face hidden in the shadows, as if he didn't want to argue with them anymore, and seemed to be thinking about an appropriate response. But the silence only lasted a few seconds, and another frivolous voice intervened.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your... er, argument. But I have to remind you that there are a lot of people who want... war."
That was a young man sitting on a seat in the corner. Compared with several other people on the same height platform, he was obviously much younger, and his identity seemed even more out of place compared to those present.
——He is the deputy minister of the Imperial Ministry of People's Welfare and the deputy minister in charge of water conservancy.
But his name is Simon, so he's sitting here.
The long black robes were scattered around, making his slightly sickly face fairer. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and the white gloves belonging to the nobles were taken off casually by him, then he held them in his hands and flicked them gently: "We
All around, around Redcar, around the empire, and... some people in the principality all want war."
"Oh, I don't mean to express my judgment on this topic, everyone. I just want to remind you that no matter what your final decision is, please don't forget those people."
"Those who were identified by my subordinates, those who...want to be restored."
The silence lasted longer this time. Even Susas, who had been insisting from the beginning, said nothing. In the dull air around him, another contemptuous voice sounded tit for tat.
"So I've always thought... you and your subordinates are all alarmists!"
Everyone looked in the direction of these words, and there was a fat figure sitting there. In line with his bloated figure, his identity was the Empire's Finance Minister, Field Pamuir.
"I've always been suspicious of those things of yours! You..." It seemed that he realized that this occasion was not suitable for uttering some words. His voice, which was slightly sharp because of his obesity, paused, and then continued: "
I hope that war is not a bad thing. As the finance minister of the empire, I think I am the most powerful person to say this, because I know that our country is very rich and very... able to fight."
"Even if the so-called war factions in the empire are looking forward to it, so what? We have the ability, we have the reasons, we have the benefits... aren't these enough? Those young people want to make contributions,
Then let them go, anyway, we have enough military funds to let them go; those country bumpkins from the principality want to fight us, then let them come, I have long disliked them; as for those other people you call...
..”
The fat man's voice paused, then suddenly became louder.
"It's all your lies! Your rumors! Your...your fabricated, imaginary...illusions!"
Waving his arms seemed to take a lot of strength from the fat man. He squeezed into the solid black chair, relaxed his body, and then began to breathe slightly. The fair-skinned young man kept smiling in the face of his questioning, because
He was confident that others would not care about the fat man's remarks.
At this moment, the figure on the highest throne finally spoke.
"Sir Pamuir, please calm down."
The voice was not loud, but full of majesty, just like the image of the middle-aged man in the seat. He had his beard spread out like a lion, but it is difficult to imagine that white beard appearing on a man in his forties or fifties, who is in his prime.
On the emperor in his prime.
Drenir Frey Kadraft, the current emperor of the Frey Empire, is wearing a golden-red imperial costume that suits his status, and is holding a black gentleman's staff in one hand, seemingly casually
There was a sharp look hidden in his expression, which glanced at everyone present from time to time. After the Finance Minister's criticism, this mighty emperor shut up all those who still wanted to talk with one sentence. Because they knew
, the decision is coming tonight.
"Continue to investigate the authenticity of that matter, the border-crossing incident at the garrison fortress..." The emperor pondered for a moment before speaking: "Continue to put pressure on that old stubborn Haosman...
Let him make an explanation. As for those restorationists..." He sneered twice: "Just let them dance a few times. I would like to see how far they can go."
"As for sending troops, we will leave it to the ministers...to discuss together tomorrow."
******************
The night was deep, the news from the palace spread, and several people in the tavern felt relieved.
"Finally, the fight didn't start. Don't worry, don't worry." The woman named Nan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "This way our goal will not be affected..."
"The worries here can finally be put down, but don't be too happy. Our old enemies may have heard the news, and they seem to have made some moves recently..." The single-glasses military advisor then poured cold water on
All humane.
"Huh, Jianghu..." Freefly sneered and sneered again: "Since Tania's incident... sooner or later they will suffer..."
The man called Tiepan secretly stuck out his tongue. He knew that every time the president made such a sneer, it was a sign of his lack of confidence. After all, he was also the top team in the alliance that had suppressed them for a long time.
meeting......
"By the way, I don't know if you heard it, but that person is online today..."
Thinking of his old enemy, a rumor suddenly flashed into his mind. When he heard the news, he subconsciously didn't believe it, so he dismissed it as gossip, but now that he remembered it, he casually said it.
"Who..."
"You are like this, who can understand..."
The confused responses from everyone seemed to comfort the iron plate a little. He laughed and said: "It is indeed a rumor. I thought how could it be possible at that time? Hahahaha... Uh, what's wrong with you guys?
.....”
The man's voice gradually changed, because the others seemed to have thought of something from his question, and their expressions became strange. Freefly was stunned at first, and then gradually became solemn.
"Are you...that person...?"
"That one from three years ago..."
There was some solemnity in the air, as if they had a telepathic connection, and several people did not give their answers. They looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of luck in each other's eyes, and a sense of tension as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Hey, hey, have you heard this..." The man spoke loudly, his voice no longer as bold as before: "Is it true..."
Everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere became darker. The woman, as if she wanted to get rid of these unpleasant feelings, shook her head: "It must be a rumor..." and then walked out of the room.
"Hey, Gardenia, where are you going? Wait for me..." Tie Ban chased him out as if he had done something wrong, and his voice became more and more distant. But Monoglass sat there with a frown on his face.
He stopped and whispered: "If it is true...".
"Find some people to let this matter out, see the public's reaction, and by the way... also test it out."
After making some explanations to a subordinate, Freefly walked to the window and looked at the bustling capital city in the night. He thought about the guild's plan and the sudden rumors. For a moment, his heart was in confusion. In the end, he just raised his head and looked.
Looking at the bright starry sky that does not exist in reality, he sighed and shook his head.
"Is he back...?" He murmured to himself: "That legend..."
