When the elf lady opened her eyes from her bed, the shining moon named Tallins had already hung on the treetops, like a bright silver disk. The leaves hung in the windless night, quietly motionless. The elf lady
Her eyes glowed in the darkness, like those of a cat, allowing her to see in dim light.
She grabbed the holy elven bow beside the bed with her backhand. The silver-white bow arms were painted with forest and animal patterns, and reflected an arc of cold light under the moonlight. The holy bow Quida Nosin is the seventeenth king of the legendary forest elves.
, the longbow once used by Star and Forest's favorite, the Guardian King Quedano Xin Linyu Arhan, the most outstanding leader of the forest elves died in a terrible battle in the magic war, and the blood of the dead flowed in
Above the long bow, he will forever rest together with the woodland he protects.
Ke'er saw her long bow and smiled with satisfaction.
While the female ranger was admiring her beloved bow, the first floor of the hotel was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
"Whoever hasn't received a weapon, come over here!"
"Hey! Buck—"
"I said, did you bastards stop what I was talking about?"
"Hey! Buck the weapons seller——"
"I've had enough! Asshole!"
The hotel was coated with a layer of golden warm light, and the wine glasses collided with each other, spilling fragrant ale. The players were arm-in-arm, noisy, and a human ranger wearing a gray cloak and carrying a long bow sat next to a lot of shining swords.
He looked depressed. The blades were sharply polished, the crossbow glowed darkly, the texture on the bow was clear and beautiful, the daggers were sharp, and the swords were shiny. Each one was made by a skilled craftsman and was worth a hundred gold.
The wrought iron was leaning on the man's shoulder on one side. The beard was covered with ale foam. The dwarf burped and said loudly: "Burp--man, give me a glass of the strongest dwarf liquor."
Let’s make a big fuss and scare Count Weiss’ pretty boy half to death——!”
"I'm not a bartender!" The ranger was so angry.
Xiao Fen asked him to distribute exquisite long swords, long bows, daggers and crossbows here to those players who were willing to participate. He originally thought this was a good mission, but he didn't expect that these unruly guys would call him a seller.
Buck of weapons. However, the black-robed mage and the swordsman 'Ye Gucheng' obviously don't care about this. They only need one manpower, one manpower and more manpower.
As for Buck? Isn’t that the Buck who sells weapons?
"Go to hell." Ranger Buck cursed angrily.
"Say what?"
"He, he, he...said he, he, he...doesn't sell wine, iron." Manshi held a cold, dark horned helmet on one side and stammered in reply while thinking about it.
"Shut up!" the dwarf said with a mouth full of alcohol: "Why is he here if he doesn't sell wine!"
The ranger slammed the table angrily, and was about to get up and have a fight with the tree trunk. Suddenly a white light flashed, and a paladin little princess came online in front of the wooden table. The little girl glanced left and right, and happened to see the big man and the
The helmet in his hand showed a strong curiosity in her eyes: "Shitou Shitou, haven't you put on this helmet yet?"
Manshi glanced at the little girl and grinned: "I, I... I'm still looking, looking..."
"What the heck!" Stumper simply grabbed the helmet from his hand, jumped up on the table and put the helmet on his head: "How about it, I swear by Omodin's axe, you will feel great!"
The dwarf was drunk and asked carelessly.
"You, you... what are you talking about, I, I... I can't hear you clearly?" Manshi shook his head and asked in a loud voice.
"How do you feel, Big Stone?" the little girl put her hands to her mouth and asked loudly.
"What?"
"Ask you how you feel——!" The dwarf roared, causing the hotel to become silent for a moment, and everyone looked over. Manshi shook his head and said angrily: "It's okay, it's okay, that's it.
It's like... there's a layer of something between you, fog, mist."
In the corner of the hotel, a goblin wearing a dusty red robe was using magic to conjure up a lifelike girl in scantily clad clothes. There was a burst of exclamation around him. The players all screamed: "That's great.
, one more." The goblin raised his chest with great enjoyment, but before he could cast the next spell, Miss Black Dragon swept him away with a backhand knife.
"It's so noisy, insect!"
The little female dragon only said one sentence. She turned around and saw Vladis sitting across from her. The two dragon ladies were each tasting the best wine in the hotel, licking their lower lips with their tongues and talking about the same kind of things.
It was a private topic. Vladis's golden eyes sparkled, showing that she was satisfied with her current life. She looked at Miss Black Dragon and said: "Meili, I heard that you were kicked out."
There was a rare expression of irritation on Maali Bailey's face, and she argued with a sharp voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Vladis. I just wanted to come out and see the outside world. But you, actually became
A human mount is so unpredictable." She mentioned the last sentence in a sarcastic tone.
Miss Red Dragon snorted and explained to her companion seriously: "It seems that you really need to come out and see the outside world, Meili. My relationship with them is called 'renting out your own property within the validity period of the contract.
Labor force', which is a means of contract for them (human society) and has the force of law."
"What is the legal effect?" Miss Heilong asked doubtfully.
"...It is equivalent to our dragon oath. It is a way of doing things that 'even though you don't want to complete it,' you still have to complete it." Vladis's pointed face showed when she misunderstood the sacred dragon oath in this way.
The expression on her face was very much like that of her father. The lady licked her flame-like lips and replied: "It's like I sell my ability legally and reasonably and get paid. The key is this -"
She squinted her eyes, with a dazzling light in her prismatic pupils. Miss Red Dragon grabbed a lot of jewelry from the invisible dimensional bag, and put the artwork on the table. With a clatter, the golden wealth flashed
It took Mayri Bailey's eyes.
"ah--"
Miss Black Dragon let out a frustrated sigh. Although she also got her own part from the treasure, it was only a small part. Compared to the money Miss Red Dragon got from selling herself, of course it was just a drop in the bucket.
, she looked at her own kind with envy and jealousy, wishing that all the treasures on the table would fall into her pocket.
"Meili, we have been good friends since childhood. Of course I will not get rich alone without you." Vladis licked her lips and said, her golden-red eyes flashing: "I have an idea, you
Do you want to hear it?"
Maelle Bailey nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
…
Xiao Fen opened the door and took a look outside. The cold moonlight streets and the bustling hotel were two different worlds. He closed the door and returned to the table - several high-level players were sitting together, looking up.
Looking at him, there was a map on the table, with several areas of the fortress marked in several colors.
"Ready?" he asked the others in a low voice.
Everyone nodded.
The black-robed mage went over his plan in his mind: Earl Weiss has declared martial law in the past few days, and there are twice as many guards in the town as usual. The Hand of Despair has also deployed two detachments to station in the inner city.
In the Outer City, it is almost impossible for such a big plan not to leak out. However, the other party probably just thinks that this is a player's trouble. After all, the nobles have indeed aroused a lot of dissatisfaction over the issue of handling refugees.
This was actually a strategy of Xiao Fen's. On the one hand, he spread some rumors, and on the other hand, he mistook it for real. This made it impossible for the other party to figure out his true intention, and thus there was no way to infer the intensity of the attack.
This time, in addition to those who actually participated, there were also some people who joined in the fun, as well as passers-by who simply had a grudge against the Hand of Despair, or players who were born to be free reactionaries. The mage treated them equally and divided them into formations without restraining them.
Weapons were also issued because he really needed to use these troublemakers to attract the attention of Earl Weiss.
The number of these people is about three hundred. In their view, this type of beheading and rebellion is simply extremely exciting - it is just a virtual world anyway, and Earl Weiss has indeed been too provocative in the past month.
People were unhappy. The core of the attack was still on this side. Xiao Fen raised his head and glanced at the players in the hotel: most of them were selected from players who were willing to help the refugees.
He looked back and asked, "Do you still remember the plan?"
Everyone nodded.
The wartime Thorn Castle was reinforced with three layers of magic by the noble mage privately raised by Count Weiss. The main effects are dimensional anchors, no-flying, energy field and soil and stone reinforcement, prohibition of teleportation, flight, and most energy spells from the outside to the inside.
The magic effect of attacking and passing through mud, stone, and wall barriers. The center position of the three magic shields should be among the three surveillance towers, which is also the focus of the initial attack.
The attack will open layers of protection, so that the mage can send more troops into the inner city, and then attack Count Weiss's castle from there. Because the news leaked, there is no need to consider a surprise attack - because of the terrain of Thorn Castle
The road from the small town to the outer city will become a difficult point to overcome. Players may face a large number of desperate hands to block it at the beginning. At this time, the purpose of the core force is to open a passage.
The final difficulty is the dragon knight captain, Karen Atikalan. Although he is still an Erathizer dragon knight with limited qualifications, his strength will definitely not be below the legend. This will be the most difficult battle for shining gold coins.
, as for the rest, it is to wait for the opportunity for the Shield of Truth to attack south.
Xiao Fen looked at these people, a confident smile appeared on his pale face. He took out a magic letter from under the sleeve of his robe in front of them and lit it. As long as this letter is sent out, it means the truth.
With the shield directed towards the Obersius Prophecy Society, Rex, the sage of arcane magic, is about to take action, and everyone present will have no way out.
Taking a step forward is an endless confrontation with the Hand of Despair and the Rune Island Empire - although most of the people present do not understand this.
At this time, a man opened the door and barged in: "The hands of despair have begun to block the streets, Ye."
Ye Gucheng raised his head in horror and saw the black-robed mage nodding slightly towards him.
He stood up——
"Let the night begin, everyone."
…
When Ke'er came down from the second floor, she saw her sister standing at the corner of the stairs looking at her. The female mage smiled and said with a regular smile: "The time is just right, take a nap cat." Our elf ranger.
Immediately her face lost its expression, and she couldn't help but said coquettishly: "Sister, you are the most exaggerated. This is obviously a curse from the artifact. What can I do..."
Yun Na smiled and said nothing.
Ke'er looked down and saw that the players in the hotel were making final preparations: checking equipment and wiping weapons. The previous noise turned into silence at this moment, and there was a strange atmosphere in the air, as if it wanted to call people's blood.
It surged through my chest and throughout my body.
"Are we about to start?" she asked, blinking.
The female mage nodded.
"Hmph." Ke'er snorted from her nose: "Captain, really, you know how to let the little girl have her own way." She was obviously complaining, but there was clearly a look of expectation in her eyes. The elf lady is not a peaceful person by nature.
How could such an exciting thing be missing the presence of this young lady?
Yun Na's eyes wandered, looking at her sister who didn't mean what she said.
"You were similar when you were a child, but she couldn't compare to you in terms of naughtiness." The female mage seemed to be recalling and smiled slightly.
"who?"
"Sophia."
"How is that possible?" Ke'er argued unconvinced, but she didn't have much confidence in front of her sister: "I'm much more mature than that damn girl, at least a little bit..."
"That's right, at least the little girl didn't go out every once in a while and beat her up until her nose was black and her face was swollen."
"...Please don't mention that kind of thing again."
Miss Elf said with a blushing face.
…
As the night gradually darkened, Silver Moon Tallinth became larger and rounder in mid-air. The cold moonlight bathed the entire Thorn Castle in a layer of holy white light, making the night in May and June not as beautiful as one might imagine.
It's so dark. A detachment of the Hand of Despair in the town is blocking the streets everywhere. The next step is to check various inns. They have indeed been authorized to assist the town guards in their operations.
Ying Long, the captain of the 17th team, stood on a stone bridge across a quiet alley, looking at the hotel named 'Bronze Dragon's Pipe' below. He had received a tip that at least dozens of players were gathering here - despair.
Of course, the Hand and NPCs do not have the right to preemptively attack other players. But as long as these people dare to appear on the streets at night with weapons (Thorn Castle is under martial law), then they have an excuse to attack.
He has been squatting here for nearly an hour. The hotel below was noisy at first, but now it has become quiet. Ying Long has a premonition that the other party is about to take action.
The dark guard immediately became more vigilant.
"Old Long, how long do we have to stay?"
"This is so boring, I might as well go to the front line and fight."
A row of rangers wearing long black cloaks on the bridge complained to him one after another. The core team of the Hand of Despair is well-organized, but such peripheral teams are generally composed of loose organizations. Team leaders like Ying Long are nothing more than hanging up.
An organization with a name and an order issued actually has no real rights.
Of course, the benefits will be better than those of ordinary members.
He glanced at his companion angrily: "Just wait, it's two silver coins per hour! Do you get such a high profit from doing tasks?"
"The subsidy is higher on the front line. There is a subsidy of three gold coins every day." A ranger whispered.
Yinglong smiled contemptuously: "For those of you who have never been on the battlefield, the only place on the front line where there is fighting is Kubao. Let me tell you where I retreated from. Do you want to know what the situation is like there?"
Everyone fell silent at this time. The brutality of the battle in the Dry Castle over the past week has exceeded the imagination of all desperate hands. It has almost become a nightmare for the Thorn Knight. The Dragon Flame Mercenary and the Great Sword Saint Alanus were talking among them.
More like a ferocious beast, they squatted there quietly. Like a meat grinder, they minced the eleven attacks organized by the Hand of Despair since the rainy season.
The Knights of Thorns left thousands of corpses behind, but failed to make any substantial progress. It was not until this moment that they understood that overthrowing the rule of Dragon City was not that simple.
It was at this time that Ying Long saw the door of the hotel open from the corner of his eye. He saw a mage in black robes slowly walking out from inside.
"The staff should also be considered a weapon, right?" Ying Long thought for a moment and took out a blood-red gem from his arms. Because of the spell shield, the geomagnetic direction of Thorn Castle has been completely repositioned, so the homing pigeon is in
This area is completely unusable - he activated the gem and whispered: "Captain Kelant, the target has been found in the Tulip area and has been confirmed to be carrying weapons. Requesting to switch to siege state and attack order -"
There was a moment of silence, and then a middle-aged man's voice came: "Are you sure you are carrying a weapon?"
Ying Long nodded: "Yes, Captain."
"This mob." The voice cursed: "You can attack, password: fox."
The Dark Guard immediately put down the gem. He raised his head and snapped his fingers at his companions: "Prepare to attack, command: fox." But the next moment, he saw the black-robed mage spilling a piece of glass beads from under his sleeves.
The beads flashed in mid-air and turned into a looming set of eyeballs floating in the air.
Yinglong almost felt a tremor rising from his heels, his hands and feet were cold. He had been fighting on the front line all year round and immediately recognized this spell: "V-level spell, there is a senior mage! Kill him!"
The Dark Guard subconsciously shouted out.
The Dark Rangers immediately stretched out pieces of longbows from the bridge——

(ps: The next chapter will be late, everyone knows it. I also announced a few small bugs on the card. One is that the full saving throw +2 seems to have been forgotten, and the other is that the duration of the divine ability of the Hand of Doomsday is ten rounds. Regarding bugs
I will answer some of the district's questions one by one in the spare time.
I continue to ask for monthly tickets, and I’m almost at the fifth place, but I found an embarrassing problem, Canaan’s subscriptions are almost out of monthly tickets, crying)
