ZXC turned around and shot an arrow into the forest. The arrow cast a long shadow in the cold night and sank into the forest. The arrow's feathers cut through the air and made a short whistle.
The arrow entered the forest, and the figure in that direction flashed away. The gray hunter frowned at this scene, turned around and said to the crowd: "It's the scout of the Falcon Regiment."
"Everyone, that's not right," the group leader Marshall also frowned, "Why are the people in the Falcon Group getting closer and closer to us?"
Most of the others felt strange. They glanced at each other and saw doubtful looks in their eyes. Although the Falcons were ranked ahead of them, there was a gap in strength, but not to this extent. As they moved forward in a straight line, there were still some people left behind.
Under the circumstances, how could he catch up so quickly?
Marshall turned back and gestured to the battle craftsmen in the team, "Let go of the clockwork goblins."
The other party did as he was told and carefully controlled the three clockwork fairies to take off.
Everyone else stopped and watched the golden structure rise to the canopy of the tree, leaving only a subtle buzzing sound.
The combat craftsman also raised his head and looked upward, but the vision of the clockwork fairy flying at the top of the eyepiece turned black the moment it broke out of the forest canopy. He was shocked and quickly turned his attention to the other two clockwork fairies, but
Immediately afterwards, the other two clockwork fairies also lost their sight.
ZXC was on guard at the side and keenly heard a blast, like the sound of a single-shot magic gun being fired. After the fire appeared, the clockwork fairies that lost power rolled down from the forest canopy one after another.
Three clockwork goblins hit the tall tree trunk one after another.
"Over there!" The gray hunter shouted sharply, unfurling his bow and arrow. He only saw a fleeting dull red light from the layers of forest canopy - but that was not a real light source.
, but it is just the final direction of the sound source that he captured through the system.
He immediately shot an arrow in that direction, but the sharp arrow sank into the branches and leaves, making no sound.
Like a pebble thrown into the dark sea, it doesn't make any waves.
Behind the layers of branches and leaves, a silver structure suspended here quietly recorded this scene. The feather arrow in Fang Plover's field of vision crossed with 'it', and the air flow even caused the screen to shake - that
As long as the Gray Hunter is a little bit luckier, this arrow might be able to hit his battle elf.
But in fact, even so, it doesn't matter.
This lightweight silver spindle-shaped structure is streamlined overall. It is the first generation of fighting fairies-Silver Bee transformed by Fang Pilgrim. It is certainly more powerful than the general Clockwork Fairy Type II or even Type III.
It is more expensive, but it is not irreplaceable in this combat system.
Even if one is lost, there will be more that can be replaced in the future. Every 'eye' densely distributed in the forest at this moment is an area that AOA's combat craftsmen cannot touch.
So is every Mirror Imager and Screaming Banshee surrounding AOA.
"We are being watched." Marshall's face darkened, and the AOA combat craftsman behind him immediately took out several other clockwork fairies - as we all know, each of the Summoner's summoned creatures is unique, and for the Alchemist
That said, most mass-produced constructs are just consumables.
But then, whether they released the clockwork fairies to the northeast, southeast, northwest, or southwest, they all ended up with the same result.
As long as the Clockwork Goblin rises to the canopy, it will be destroyed in just a few seconds.
Amidst the interlacing fire and light, the destroyed Clockwork Fairy fell like raindrops from the forest canopy.
The two battle craftsmen of AOA are sinking deeper and deeper. So far, their clockwork fairies have not succeeded in breaking through the blockade even once.
But how is this possible?
Broken parts fell from the sky, and the iron guards had to raise their shields to cover their heads. The metal parts hit the big shields and made a plopping sound like raindrops. ZXC also fired a few arrows, and the arrows hit one or two silver.
The bees brought them down and landed on the moss-covered ground not far away.
Marshall walked over and pulled out the arrow, inspecting the strange structures in his hands without saying a word.
"What is going on up there?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask, "Many clockwork fairies have been released, but no information has been sent back at all?"
"...We haven't broken through the blockade yet."
The leader of the battle craftsmen answered with some difficulty.
"It's the same here..." The other person also looked ugly.
"But how is that possible? There are two of you." The person who asked the question looked incredulous. "You have released many clockwork fairies before."
The well-known 'Dragon Alchemist' only came to prominence in the Continental League, but no matter how high his attainments in alchemy are, it may not be useful as a combat craftsman.
There are not many rumors about the third division in the first division. Even if there are, the top 20% of the teams will not pay attention to those adventure groups in the newcomer zone. The huge gap between them is
A fact known to all.
It is the duty of the guild analysts to find potential candidates or opponents, not the members of the brigade. Their duty is to search for obelisks here, not to hunt down the Seven Seas Brigade.
Even though the Seven Seas Brigade caused great troubles within the empire, news rarely reached here.
There are many exaggerated rumors circulating in the community about the Seven Seas Brigade's defeat of the Dragon Knights, but none of them can be confirmed. Most of the battle scenes captured were far away from the battlefield, and there were no scenes of the Seven Seas Brigade taking action.
It can be seen that the ancient mobile fortress Ainbrok lives up to its name, and the hero of the Battle of Bain, Princess Brianne, is also as powerful as the rumors.
"The opponent at least has a kind of clockwork fairy that can fight," the AOA craftsman replied solemnly. "He can accurately capture the position of our clockwork fairy in the canopy."
The man frowned and said: "But isn't the clockwork goblin a very flexible construct? Is there no way to escape? You are also among the top craftsmen in the alliance. Two people can't help each other alone?"
The two craftsmen looked a little embarrassed, which was what made them feel unbelievable.
The other party is famous for its multi-control, but they actually don't have to give in too much. After all, they are 10 levels ahead. Controlling ten or twenty clockwork fairies is no longer a problem. Compared with multi-control and the precision of the operation, they are both.
I think I should be one step ahead of my opponent.
In other words, at least the two of them can work together to suppress their opponent.
But now the reality is just the opposite.
It was even difficult for them to detect the distribution of the opponent's clockwork fairies in the canopy, and the battle was one-sided. The opponent's attacks were always launched in the blind spot of their vision, and were often over in an instant.
No matter how many clockwork fairies they released, the information they grasped never exceeded the very beginning. This situation can only mean one thing -
It was the Dragon Alchemist who crushed them.
"How about trying a heavy-duty structure to penetrate the defense?" Someone suggested, "The opponent's Clockwork Goblin's attack power doesn't seem to be high, and it only poses a threat to the Clockwork Goblin. Otherwise, he should have sent those structures down to deal with it earlier.
We launched an attack."
But how many heavy-duty structures are there that can fly?
They are nothing more than the Annihilator series and the Screaming Banshee series. The former has no synesthesia ability, so even flying out of the canopy is meaningless, and the latter's protective capabilities are not much higher than the Clockwork Goblin.
There are also some large-scale air combat structures such as the Lancers, which mostly rely on aerial ships for combat. Casual combat craftsmen will not bring them because they are not easy to use in non-air and sea environments.
However, this suggestion reminded the two combat craftsmen.
Flying heavy structures cannot, but the Walker series may. There are several types of special structures that can be climbed.
But Marshall stretched out his hand to stop the two of them.
"Captain?" The battle craftsman was a little confused.
"That's not necessary." Marshall glanced towards the forest canopy and threw the construct in his hand to the ground. "The other party will not attack us, so keep moving forward."
Above the canopy of the tree, the square plover let out a soft cry.
He saw Marshall naming several magicians from the team, and then ordered them to start casting detection spells around them.
Waves of fluorescent ripples spread forward from the magic wand in the hand of the AOA magician. The spell generator built into the Mirror Imager is only a relatively low-level illusion, so it is naturally invisible to detection spells of this level.
The next moment, the forest immediately revealed its true colors.
"It's an illusion!"
The people at AOA immediately shouted.
They finally understood why the Falcon Group behind them was getting closer and closer. Now it seemed that someone was leading them to take a detour. While they were taking a detour, other teams that kept moving in a straight line were not getting closer and closer to them.
What.
"It's the Mirror Imager," ZXC also reacted. "The previous explosion was also arranged by the other party. The Dragon Alchemist deliberately caused us to conflict with others?"
Marshall said nothing, as he had already expected this in his heart. He ordered his combat craftsmen to release the clockwork goblins to prove this point - the purpose of releasing the clockwork goblins was to find the correct direction to the entrance of the valley.
But the other party prevented them from obtaining correct information, which exposed their intentions.
Fang Yu naturally reacted at this moment.
They are indeed a top-notch brigade, he thought to himself.
Although there are countless adventure groups of chosen ones registered and still active after the Star Gate, there are only about 10,000 of them that can actually enter the rankings. Among them, those who are in the top 20%, whether they are AOA
, whether they are members of the Falcon Corps or the Mystery Brigade, they are all the top selectors in the world.
The Seven Seas Brigade has almost never had a real head-to-head confrontation with an opponent of this level before.
When the other party saw through his intentions, he didn't feel depressed, but instead became a little excited.
This is the adventure he wants.
Fang Yu took out the communication crystal, but he had not forgotten the real purpose of the Seven Seas Brigade at this moment, "Miss Miya, you may have to take action later."
"Hmm." The gentle voice came from the dimly shining crystal.
Then Miya said: "Ed, you don't have to worry too much that they will notice my existence. According to the level of the people in AOA and the Falcon Group, they are not worthy of discovering me."
"But the mysterious person is also there."
"So do they."
Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head. This was the wolf girl he knew well, and the sea witch in people's eyes - her tone now was exactly the same as that in the elven ruins, the same confidence, the same refusal to treat Jeffrey
The special red team and the silver forest crown are in the eyes.
He raised his head and saw a faint cyan trail falling from the sky in the night sky. Miss Scholar landed together with several Lancers.
"Captain!"
Jita jumped down from the Lancer, looking a little worried. She obviously understood that the situation was urgent.
But Fang Plover is obviously much more confident.
He shook his head at the other party and said, "Don't worry, can you do the plan I just told you?"
Miss Scholar nodded.
"How long can it last?"
"If you don't let the other party have contact, there is no problem for more than one day."
"That's enough," Fang Yu nodded, "Alyssa and the others should be able to hold on for a while, let's start now."
…
On the other side of the forest, Dariel was fighting against the mysterious person.
Enigma, Enigma, a guild affiliated with Prometheus, Fog's sub-main team, ranked 2877, is an absolute first-line team in the first division. Although it seems to be ranked low, don't forget that this is the first world, not the third.
Second world.
The average level of the members of Enigma is even higher than that of AOA, about one or two levels higher on average. Even though Dalil is a paladin from the Shadow Tree Temple, in a one-to-many situation, it is not the same.
The opponents of these top selectors.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to confront these people head-on.
Whether it is the Shadow Tree Temple or the Holy White Glade, the most distinctive professions under the two forest ladies of Amaya and her twin sister are naturally Druid, but apart from pure believers, the goddess of nature
Do not accept beliefs from pan-believers.
In other words, most of the chosen ones are not qualified to be summoned by the Lady of the Forest, so druids are rarely born among the chosen ones. It can even be said that they have never been born. However, there are still some chosen ones in the sacred forest.
the existence of pan-believers.
Most of them are rangers, hunters and paladins.
Dariel is one of the best.
There are absolutely not many people who can become the Holy Knights of the Shadow Tree Temple. In Feros, she is the only one she knows, and the others are more aborigines and even elves.
In addition to outsiders like the big cat people, the knights of the Shadow Tree Temple are actually better at fighting in nature and wilderness.
The surrounding ancient trees provide them with shelter, and the forest is their comrade in fighting side by side.
The shadow says that everything dies when winter comes.
And they are the minions of the forest's revenge.
I saw Miss Catman's figure constantly shuttling between the woods, and the surrounding vines stretched out from time to time under her guidance to hinder the members of Enigma. From time to time, she would appear next to these people, using the sword in her hand as if showing sharp fangs.
Attack the opponent in the same way.
That thin mage——
The tall warriors who are the leaders of Enigma all feel miserable. These attacks are not worth mentioning to them, but the opponent's attack methods are difficult for them to adapt to in this strange forest. Ettaria is
There are countless strange professions.
This is exactly the case when they occasionally encounter an unfamiliar profession and happen to fight in an environment that the opponent is good at. Without knowing the details of the opponent, it is difficult for them to launch an effective counterattack.
In the final analysis, it is because of this forest.
The mage finally seized an opportunity. He raised the magic wand in his hand and used the built-in module to instantly cast a spell. However, the flames only hit a shadow. He saw with his own eyes the sturdy cat-man.
Entering into an ancient tree.
The flames and arrows only hit the hard trunk of the towering ancient tree.
"Grass!" The tall warrior couldn't help but yelled. This was not the first time. Not to mention the ancient tree men who suddenly resurrected and slapped them, and the vines that spread like snakes and attacked them.
But once they launch an attack, the opponent will react exactly as they did. They seem to be in an illusion or fighting in a forest.
I heard that fighting druids is nothing more than this, but there are very few druids among the chosen ones.
"Knight of the Shadow Tree."
The scholars in the team finally found out the other party's true identity, "The other party is from the Shadow Temple. It makes no sense for us to fight her like this. She is deliberately delaying our time. The easiest way is to ignore it."
After all, the Shadow Tree Knights are not druids, so they cannot arouse the real anger of a forest. Moreover, even druids are not invincible. Even in the home field of the forest, there are many ways to deal with them.
There is no invincible profession in this world, and this is especially true for the Chosen. They are good at fighting and have often experienced a variety of different opponents.
The skinny mage quickly realized that the vines and giant trees summoned by the opponent actually did not pose much of a threat - and their real purpose was the obelisk, which was to enter the valley.
The other party is deliberately delaying their time——
"We have to change our approach," he said immediately. "The troops are divided into two groups. There is only one person on the other side. She is not actually a big threat."
The tall warrior understood immediately.
As soon as the Mystery people split up their troops, Dalil immediately felt in trouble. Unless she had the ability to pose a real threat to one of the troops, she would not be able to keep the split brigade anyway.
But after all, she is only one person. If she wants to cause some trouble, it is okay to stay and confront the other party. Not to mention posing any threat to the other party, she herself may be in danger.
Upon seeing this, Dalil made a quick decision and immediately took out the communication crystal: "Alyssa, I can't stop you here anymore."
"Don't worry," Alyssa's voice sounded very calm in the communication crystal, "I'll let her support you."
"she?"
"Shesta," Alisa said, "the maid is near you, and she is coming with the Falcons."
"But we are already close to the Seven Seas Traveler," Dariel said, "If I retreat again—"
"It's okay," Alyssa shook her head, "The stage at the head's side has almost been set up."
The voice in the communication crystal just fell.
Dalil heard a loud noise coming from beside her - she raised her head in surprise and saw a giant tree in that direction split from the middle, as if it was interrupted by a blow, and flew in one direction.
Got out.
In the direction in which the giant tree flew out, the forest made a heartbreaking cracking sound - in the distance, a piece of tree crown fell down one after another.
In the direction of the forest, Siesta, dressed in a maid's uniform, was flying out and came to the vicinity of Dariel. The maid glanced behind her and her eyes fell on her. There was not much on her face.
With an expression on his face, he quickly turned away.
But this scene obviously surprised Enigma's people. The thin mage and the tall warrior couldn't help but look in that direction.
But it wasn't just Siesta they saw.
There was another group of people chased out of the forest.
Those people were dressed in silver-gray attire, and their cloaks covered the guild's robes like wings. The mage squinted his eyes and immediately recognized these old opponents. "People of Sea Eagle Feathers," he immediately conveyed the message to the people around him.
, "It's the Falcons."
"Gray Wolf, why are you here?" The leader of the Falcon Group immediately came out and looked in this direction, his eyes finally resting on the mage, "Where are the people from AOA?"
"How do I know?" The mage named Gray Wolf frowned and couldn't help but look at Dalil who stopped on the other side.
At this moment, he had roughly guessed the other party's purpose of delaying them here.
People from AOA have previously revealed that the Seven Seas Brigade, which is wanted by the Empire, and their sailboat are stranded in this valley. It seems that the other party has already discovered them, and their purpose is to delay them here.
And clashed with the brigade coming from behind.
But the people from the Falcon Group obviously didn't believe what he said, and immediately asked: "Did the people from AOA discover something strange in the ancient times, and the obelisk is inside it?"
Although he had roughly guessed Fang Plover's intention, Gray Wolf's tone at this moment was not friendly at all:
"What does the AOA people have to do with us? Are you asking the wrong person?"
Although Sea Eagle Feather is backed by the CE club where Gray King FOX belongs, and its overall strength is much stronger than the Fog Guild where Enigma is, but Enigma is also a brigade under Prometheus after all.
Although the first division is three-legged, the Solid Alliance wants to be closer to Prometheus after all, not to mention that the brigade is ranked above the Falcon Group. He does not think that the people of the Falcon Group are qualified to show off in front of him.
.
"Haha," the leader of the Falcon Group sneered, "Who doesn't know your relationship with the people in the Alliance?"
As he spoke, he looked at Siesta not far away.
At this moment, the maid lady was putting down the gauntlets on both hands, and the hinges on the huge metal armor were slightly open, and cooling air flow was spurted out from it, covering her figure in a dense cloud of steam smoke.
And she also raised her head and glanced at her opponent coldly.
The people from the Falcon Group frowned. The three teams were actually old rivals. Since they were ranked similarly, they often faced each other in various competitions. They knew their opponents well. But they had never heard of it.
There is such a number one person in the Enigma Brigade.
In the previous brief battle, this maid lady gave them a big shock. The opponent's level was not high, but her strength was surprisingly high, especially her attack power. She relied on a pair of gauntlets to launch an attack in the first round of their team's attack.
The main iron guard almost failed to block it.
Fortunately, their opponents were very explosive, but they lacked durability. After one round of attacks, they retreated all the way, and they finally caught up to this place.
But unexpectedly, the other party turned out to be from Enigma.
The man pondered for a moment and suddenly frowned: "Wait, you are stalling for time. You have reached an agreement with the AOA people? I understand. No wonder you stopped us here."
Gray Wolf's expression changed. He was indeed stalling for time, but he didn't know where the AOA people had gone. Although he had indeed mentioned the joint proposal to the AOA people before, the other party did not accept it at that time.
His only purpose of delaying time here was actually because they split into two groups not long ago, and he stayed here to hold off Dalil, while the tall warrior had already led the others into the valley.
If there really was an obelisk in the valley, he naturally hoped to keep the Falcons here for one more moment, just to delay it for one more moment.
But I didn't expect that the other party would get it wrong and hit the target wrongly.
He couldn't help but look at the maid in a strange outfit not far away. He had actually seen the identity of the other party's aboriginal, but he was still guessing about the other party's origin - could it be said that there were still aborigines in the Seven Seas Brigade?
However, guesses are just guesses. Gray Wolf had no intention of taking the blame for Fang Plover. Upon seeing this, he immediately said: "They——"
But before he could finish his words, Dalil, who was on the side, saw this and spoke first: "Do you think we will let the people of your Falcon Group pass?"
"You——" Gray Wolf immediately turned around, not knowing what Dalil wanted to do.
But he reacted a little too late.
The people of the Falcon Group had already fought against Siesta before. Since they had preconceptions that Enigma and AOA had formed an alliance, and there was an obelisk in the valley, there was no need to say anything more at the moment.
Just start a war.
The man immediately stepped back and waved his hand:
"Our support is still behind, break through their defense line immediately!"
"We must not let the AOA people reach the obelisk first!"
