The game time was approaching ten o'clock in the morning. In front of Dragon City's magnificent giant Sun Temple, players gathered bustlingly around Petera's Square of Light. Except for a platform in the center that was 150 feet long and 150 feet wide, and could not be approached because of guards blocking it, the square was
The area was almost crowded with people. Although there were many NPCs living in Dragon City, most of them were players, all kinds of players... In addition to players whose main occupation was combat, there were also players with life skills. They stood
Every corner around the square, including some buildings around the square, has been rented out by some wealthy players as 'viewing grounds'.
Although most of the players present have different skin colors, maybe they are thousands of miles apart in reality, but now here, they all have an expression of excitement mixed with some curiosity. They want to
Let's see what kind of group of people are able to fight against the Lord of Dragon City - most people don't know that the Mysterious Sage is also among this group of people.
There is a giant sun emblem inlaid with porcelain tiles on the platform in the center of the square. It is the holy emblem of the sun god Petera. In the players' minds, the sun god is just a high-level NPC that can provide them with convenient divine power.
, but for the mortals living in Olas, the Sun God has a special meaning, which is a power of faith.
The guards of Dragon City held halberds and silently guarded the order of the scene. The NPCs held their breaths, but the players did not follow this trick. There were some chatting on the spot, some eating, and no one flirting in public.
There are only a few, and in places with dense crowds, there will definitely be many people fishing in troubled waters, so the loud screams of those fishing in troubled waters have become a unique landscape in this place that used to be solemn and rigorous.
The whispers of players gathered into a huge torrent in the huge square. Duke Wheeling frowned and signaled the soldiers to stop this unserious noise, but the guards' suppression only had the opposite effect.
The players' voices became louder, including a lot of protests.
As an old-fashioned NPC, Duke Wheeling did not allow civilians to ignore his existence, no matter he was a player or something else. He stood up with standard movements, supported the exquisitely carved railings with both hands, and roared: "Silence!
!!!”
The sound of amplified magic swept through the entire square like rolling thunder, and many professional players were frightened to the ground. This is probably what it feels like to be struck by thunder on the ground.
The square fell silent instantly, and the strong contrast between front and back was almost unbearable... But fortunately, in this silent environment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded from the west side of the square, attracting the attention of all the players, otherwise
Based on the players' personalities, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Duke to step down.
"Damn it, it's just an NPC. Why are you dragging it?" The frightened player muttered and turned his attention to the west. The powerful escort lineup composed of fourteen Madissa dragon knights and fourteen holy judges was invigorating.
This cheered them up, and the arrogant attitude of the 'prisoners' also piqued the player's interest.
The twelve 'prisoners' held their heads high, and there was nothing on their faces that could be called fear or fear. For such tough guys, one would feel admiration from the bottom of their hearts just by looking at them.
Players began to make noises, some were whistling, and some were shouting, 'Another hero twenty years later!'... Although this sentence has no meaning here - if the NPC dies, God knows whether it will be reborn, and if the player dies,
It only takes a dozen seconds to fall off and regenerate, if he wants.
And in fact, this is just a trial, not an execution.
Duke Huiling sat down slumped; Card Xiu smiled slightly. He had probably expected this result since Huiling stood up, but he didn't bother to remind him, because he knew that for Duke Huiling's stubborn temper, reminding was the same as not reminding.
.
Devika was supported by two servants and came to the two of them, with a kind smile on her wrinkled face.
"These are the players, a group of strange guys!" he said in a hoarse voice with a smile.
Duke Wheeling turned his head away disdainfully. Since he didn't want to talk to this person, there was no need for him to put on a smile. He was a paladin first and then a duke. Card Xiu showed a smile that was almost exactly the same as Devika's, showing concern.
He asked, "Mr. Manzite, if you have anything to say, just ask us to go there. We are young people, how can we let you go?"
Devika smiled slightly, "Sometimes it's always good to move." He deliberately emphasized the word "moving". People who think they are sure of victory often have a mentality of toying with prey. This is a subtle feeling. Jia
Nan's AI can allow NPCs to do this, which shows that it is technically far superior to other games of the same period.
Card Xiu didn't care either. He was used to Devika's sinister and sarcastic tone. The competition between the two NPC camps in Dragon City was not a matter of a day or two. The hatred between the old aristocrats and the new aristocrats was
Mutual, in fact, as a member of a noble family with a long history, my family is very dissatisfied with the new nobles that I have made friends with. If I hadn't firmly controlled the Matissa Dragon Knight, I would have been removed from the lord's favor.
The position has been changed.
To be honest, Kaxiu didn't care about the lord's position, but he knew that he had already embarked on this path. Once he lost this position, he would lose everything, including his family and life.
Rex and his party were escorted to the center of the square. At this time, the players finally calmed down and stared at them with a look of fun. At the same time, the law enforcement officer stumbled to them with a large stack of parchment documents.
Opening one of the scrolls, he read: "Eleven members of the Knights of the Burning Sun, ten knights, one trainee knight, and the following arcane sage Rex..." The following words were overshadowed by the players' exclamations.
, a terrifying sound erupted in the square that was comparable to the voice of Duke Wheeling just now.
"What did he just say?"
"Secret Sage?"
"Who is that? Who is the Secret Sage?"
"Looks like one of the eleven sages in the mainland."
"What!"
"How could he be judged?"
"impossible!"
The noisy commotion made the five lords frown at the same time. This time, even the experienced Duke Devika, the steady scholar Seredo, and the graceful bishop Ms. Butana could not stand it. These players were simply too presumptuous.
Yes! They thought so at the same time.
The terrible noise also interrupted Xiao Fen's thoughts on the top of a building in the south of the square. He shook his head. Just now he was wondering why that old guy Manzite didn't take action earlier and later and had to wait until the trial.
Why did he take action on this day? Speaking of rallies, Long Cheng has had several rallies in the past. If he has always had overwhelming strength, then why did he delay it until now?
Is it because he has gained support from new forces recently? No! Xiao Fen shook his head. Apart from Alanus, the power on the table now is the power that Devika R. Manzite has long ago.
Whether it is the navy or the private army, as for the mages in the arcane area, they have actually been biased towards him for a long time... As for Alanus, Devika had many opportunities to kidnap his daughter before, right? So Alanus's power
It cannot be regarded as the sudden increase in power of the Manzite family. It can only be said that kidnapping his daughter to threaten him was a move that Devika had long thought of.
So why? Since Devika, an old guy, has decided to be his opponent in the near future, there must be certain factors behind the sudden decision... Could it be related to the north? Xiao Fen shook his head, it didn't seem like it.
When he was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, a slender hand stretched out in front of him. Xiao Fen was startled. He raised his head suddenly and found that it was Lun Si. Seeing her smiling face, there must be no good news.
"There's news! Hee hee!" Lunsi waved her hands and said with a smile.
Xiao Fen put a gold coin in her hand. According to Lun Si, this was called the information prompt fee... because once the mission started, she had no obligation or reason to provide information to Xiao Fen. Of course, if she took a small amount of money, she would
It's a different matter. In fact, this is Tisavika's default behavior.
"Manzite's private army is twenty miles closer to Dragon City." Lensi whispered.
"To get to the point, I don't need to know this." Xiao Fen shook his head. The shadow hand that controlled the city gate had long ago changed hands from Manzite. No one opened the city gate. What would happen even if those useless private troops came to the city? Could it be that
Do they dare to attack the city? Dragon City's heavy ballistae does 50D4+10 damage and has piercing properties, unless those private armies don't want to mess around anymore...
"Do you want to hear the next news?" Rensi stretched out her white and white hands. "One gold coin only has one news! Hehe!"
"But the news you told me is of no use to me!" Xiao Fen said angrily.
"How do you know what news you want to hear? Mr. Master, you can't bully a weak woman like me!" Rensi said pitifully, tilting her head.
"Tell me the news related to my mission!" Xiao Fen had no choice but to put another gold coin in her hand. He had already experienced this NPC girl who wanted money more than once.
"Well, the Dragon City Navy has already started to take action. It was passing through the Central Cross Avenue just now. It is estimated that we will have reached the first cordon of the Holy Punishment Knights as we speak." Rensi said unhurriedly.
"Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Xiao Fen said as he stood up and waved his hands as a preparation before exercising.
"Does the navy have such a strong combat capability? This is a land war... don't let them die before they can reach the second line of defense." He turned around and asked.
"Money!" Lance held out her hand.
"..." Xiao Fen admired her so much that he shook his head. Anyway, even if Rensi didn't say anything, he knew that the navy, the noble private army, and Alanus's Dragon Flame Guild were just used in the beginning.
Just suppress the Holy Punishment Knights and the Mardisa Dragon Knight. After causing chaos, the mages hidden around the square will take action to kill Card Xiu and Hui Ling. Ka Xiu himself is only an 18th level character, Hui Ling is a little more powerful.
It's only over 20 levels. Even if Bishop Butanna who is 22 levels is included, facing more than three digits of mages, the consequences will probably not be that good.
After killing Kaxiu and Huiling, the Manzite family will concentrate their superior forces to eliminate their remaining forces, but Xiao Fen can't figure it out - the noble private army, the navy with half-measured combat effectiveness, as well as the Dragon Flame Guild and the Holy
How can there be an advantage in the comparison of strength between the Punishment Knights and the Garmadisa Dragon Knight Battalion? Even if they are barely equal, it is an exaggeration!
Devika has an ambush! Xiao Fen finally confirmed this idea. Although he didn't know what this so-called ambush was, sometimes being cautious could save his life.

Central Cross Avenue, north side——
Qianshan was passing the time in boredom. Behind him were three novice paladins in his team. Next to him was his eldest brother who joined the Holy Retribution Knights at the same time. Since he entered the game, this eldest brother had been taking care of him, a game idiot, until he
Become the captain of your squad.
He summoned his Swift Silver Falcon and stroked it gently with one hand.
"Xiaoshan, after we finish here, let's go to the Seven Mountains Wasteland to participate in the war with the orcs." The eldest brother patted Qianshan's shoulder and said kindly.
"Northern, will the leader allow it?" Qianshan asked. The eldest brother is also a player in China. In Qianshan's view, the same hair color and the same eyes always look particularly friendly.
"Any knight order will send some knights to the Seven Mountains Wasteland every year to participate in the war with the orcs. This is the responsibility of our paladins! By the way...it is said that there are 19 player quotas this time." The eldest brother said.
"19? There must be more than 400 players in the Knights. Will it be our turn?" Qianshan asked again.
"Don't worry, many brothers want to stay here to participate in the winter campaign against the Northern Lords, and there are plenty of empty places!" the eldest brother assured, patting his chest.
"Okay then, I will go wherever brother goes!" Qianshan said excitedly, Seven Mountains Wasteland! That is the birthplace of the Knights and the place with the highest concentration of paladins.
"Haha, don't forget that you are the captain!"
"How can that be possible?" Qianshan laughed, but at the same time, his attention was attracted by the sound of neat footsteps. He turned around, and the first thing he saw was the gold background cloud coat. It was the navy. This was what he had in mind.
The first thought in.
"Hey, it's the Navy! I guess they're here to join the guard, too. I'll say hello!" The elder brother walked over with a smile.
A flash of alarm flashed through Qianshan's mind. As the captain, he knew more. He shouted urgently: "Come back! No! His army is not included in the list of people participating in the alert!"
But it was obvious that he was already shouting too late. As soon as the elder brother said the word 'you', several halberds pierced his body...
"No! Bastard!" Qianshan's eyes were splitting, and he drew his sword and rushed forward. At the same time, he turned back and shouted to the three stunned new paladins: "Write an alert to the other teams!"
These were his last words...
The sky in Dragon City gradually became cloudy...

(PS: I will post Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 later, around 12 o'clock... As for why, everyone should know, quack!!! Also explain why Bo'andun uses two high-level spells in a row, you can think
