Above Kukai, three windships were cutting through the waves from the pouring cold rain.
The herald walked across the deck, pushed open the hatch and entered the command bridge located in the magic cabin. He passed through the crowd and walked onto the command bridge. He approached several officers standing there and said in a low voice: "Captain, are you there?"
An order from a special channel."
The young officer turned around and said, "What's the date?"
"No. 5."
"Target location?"
"Codename Gray Realm."
The officer's expression changed when he turned around, and he looked at the other people around him. The political commissar also had a surprised look on his face. The two exchanged glances, and then nodded.
The young captain turned around, with his back to the core crystal on the command bridge, and ordered everyone:
"The entire ship obeyed the order, deviated from the current course, and turned northward——"
"Target coordinates h133275 and h130289, full speed."
"Target coordinates h133275 and h130289, full speed, received."
The command bridge immediately became a scene of flowing water, and the magically encrypted message was sent out through the communication crystal and passed to the other two sailing ships several kilometers away.
The captain turned back and looked above the heavy rain and the vast sea of clouds, where the undulating waves of clouds outlined the dim boundary between the sky and the sea.
But in that direction, in his field of vision, above the clouds in the distant sky, a dark red brilliance suddenly flashed.
A trail like a firefly slowly moves forward along the clouds.
That is……
"It's the Liupanshui ship," the communications officer below said immediately: "He is sending a signal to us, and they are also turning towards the El Paxin target area."
"Second detachment," the captain turned around and looked at his partner, "how many of our ships have entered the Rainbow Sky Gorge at this moment?"
"At least half of the forces in Hengfeng Port and Roance have entered a state of emergency deployment. Our fleet is heading north via Fenris or the southern route," the political commissar said: "Currently we can contact at least the second detachment.
With the third detachment, there should be quite a few others who are entering this sea area or have already entered."
"Okay," the former decided immediately: "Turn on the wind element detector, and we will also send a signal to them."
The herald hesitated for a moment.
"According to the specifications during the Charter City operation?"
"No," the captain shook his head: "This time it is higher than the last time. This time it is a decisive battle. This is Secret Order No. 5, broadcast directly to the entire frequency band, and just disclose your identity."
"Tell them that Stargate Port calls for every selectee to respond. This is a war for everyone -"
…
The huge fleet of ships was like a towering wall above the sea, passing through the cold rain and slowly heading north.
Flowers Falling from Paradise stood alone in the heavy rain. The rain soaked through his clothes and dripped down his armor. But he seemed to be unaware of it and put his hands on the side of the ship, only silently watching the distant and near fields.
Red sail shadow.
Ahead, an outline of the land edge has appeared from the field of vision. The unclear edge of the sky and land passes through the clouds and extends northward in a zigzag manner, as if there is no end.
There is the Rainbow Hollow, whose appearance has almost never changed since the days of Eshorin's Scourge——
Yongye's somewhat calm tone came from the communication crystal: "Heaven, we have entered the Rainbow Sky Canyon, and are only one hundred and twenty air miles away from Gula Port."
"Can you increase the speed?"
"Okay, it's just the weather..."
Tian Hua Luo raised her head. The falling rain was so cold that it almost turned into ice. The rain was mixed with snowflakes, which seemed to prove that they had entered the northern border.
"It doesn't matter so much," he said: "The whole ship is full of sails, moving at full speed, lifting the communication silence state, and revealing the identity to everyone."
He paused and said, "Tell them why we are here."
The northern sea area of the Sea of Clouds seems to have suddenly become noisy.
The second fleet of Yuechen, which was patrolling in the direction of Rainbow Kong Gorge, seemed to suddenly find a shining spot on its wind element detector.
The detector almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes, so he couldn't help but rub his eyelids vigorously, and took a closer look. Then he screamed and jumped up from his seat:
"There is a huge amount of wind element reaction ahead, huge amount! Huge amount!"
The entire fleet sounded the alarm almost immediately, and the shrill sirens resounded through the clouds.
The fleet slowly turned, using the flagship Malagor as a reference, and eleven large and small sailing ships formed a standard battle line formation towards the south.
The gunners took their positions one after another and opened the gun doors one after another.
But on the command bridge, the fleet commander looked at his deputy, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. At this moment, they looked a bit dumbfounded.
"what to do?"
The fleet commander looked at the image of the officer on the crystal and was in a dilemma for a moment.
The other party claimed to be the first detachment of the People's Navy of the Republic stationed in Aitaria, No. 133 Neijiang Ship, and asked them to immediately lift their combat readiness and respond to the call.
But this is completely contrary to the order from the descendants of Flor. It's just the opposite. How can they dare to take action against the Republic Navy?
But he saw a look of surprise suddenly flash across his deputy's face. The other person raised the communication crystal in his hand and said excitedly: "There is news from the guild."
"They asked us to immediately respond to the Stargate Port call and join the navy."
"What did they ask us to do?"
The deputy looked at him and hesitated: "Obey all orders..."
The commander was slightly startled, but he seemed to be relieved and nodded slightly.
"we accept."
The entire Rainbow Sky Gorge is now above every sailboat sailing here.
In their wind element detector, little bits of light were lighting up, drawing out long tracks one after another from south to north.
The uninformed captains were staring dumbfoundedly at the dark red lights rising from the dark clouds.
What on earth is going on...?
That was the thought in the minds of almost all aboriginal captains.
…
Bai Xue put down the communication crystal in her hand and turned off the light screen with a tap of her hand.
She then turned around, looked at the people around her teasingly, and said proudly: "How's it going, Guangran, did you hear that?"
Guang Ran glanced at her angrily, but did not answer. He just silently took out a seal from his pocket, pinned it on his collar, and said in a low voice: "The president's order has arrived. To execute the order,
Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Bai Xue raised her eyebrows proudly: "Are you angry?"
"Bai Xue, do you know why other people like Her Royal Highness the Princess more?"
"you--"
The smile froze on Bai Xue's face, and she gritted her silver teeth and looked at the other person.
But Guangran looked at her, shook his head, turned around and walked forward, saying: "I'll go to the branch, and you can mobilize the others."
As if after hearing these words, Bai Xue reacted, snorted angrily, and walked towards the side of the corridor.
However, everyone in the hall was already prepared. They were looking away from the crystal, and all turned their gazes in this direction, falling on Bai Xue:
"Miss Snow White."
"Miss Bai Xue, what are your orders?"
The knights pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords. Silver Vislan's usual style of acting was to walk straight. The situation was now clear, and all they were waiting for was an order.
Bai Xue looked at everyone in the hall, put on his helmet with both hands, then pulled up the face shield, and swept over everyone with his cold eyes.
Then she spoke angrily:
"Everyone, follow me."
"The target star and the Tower of the Moon will be killed without mercy by anyone who stands in their way, whether they are the Crow's Claw Temple or the descendants of Flor."
She pressed her hand on the sword: "Let's go——"
At this moment, the same scene is playing out in countless different guilds in the north.
The moment the windows in the system were closed, the selectors put on the seals of the Star Gate one after another. They were coming from the halls of the adventurer guilds everywhere, from the towers of the Craftsmen Guild, and from the books of the Silver Tower.
In the hotel, people filed out of the halls of large and small hotels and bars.
They gathered together in silence and headed towards the nearest target predetermined in the recruitment order.
So from Kapka to Rodel, and even to the countryside of El Paxin and Gula, the indigenous people all looked at the scene that happened in front of them in surprise.
The electors, who rarely formed an organization in their eyes, were silently gathering into a torrent.
But in El Paxin, the surprise in the hearts of most aboriginal people has not ended yet. The Craftsman Association in the third district has opened all its doors at the same time.
Those high-level craftsmen were filing out, and in the airport, the floating battleships belonging to the Craftsmen's Association were also leaving their berths one after another.
In response to this, the Temple of the Three Goddess located in the lower city is becoming brightly lit. Priests and Templars in different neighborhoods are passing through the streets and alleys, gathering back to the temple from all directions.
middle.
The entire northern border seemed to be moving in an instant——
…
Tower of Stars and Moon, inside the Echo Hall.
The Moon Crystal trembled slightly, emitting a buzz-like sound from within it, and the constant low murmur was the only sound in the hall at the moment.
The Speaker stood aside. Seeing Fang Plover retract his hand, he said: "You are late. Among the three crystals, the one in Gula was activated a day ago."
"I know," Fang Yu was not surprised. The Patriarch of Altori had already said this. But he turned back to look at the great magician, and he didn't seem surprised by his calmness: "
Mr. Speaker, it seems that you do not trust the Crow's Claw Temple?"
Flagg replied: "I did have some suspicions, but this matter originally had nothing to do with us."
"What now?"
"Now the Council of Stars and Moon will stand firmly on His Highness's side, and we will do our best to meet any demands you have."
Fang Yu couldn't help but glance at his Miss Dragon Soul again. It seemed that the relationship between the Council of Stars and Moon and Miss Tata was deeper than imagined.
It's a pity that Tata himself doesn't know all this. He feels like a cat is scratching his heart, but he can't know the answer.
Flagg asked again: "Then what do you and His Highness plan to do next? Two of the three crystals and two anchor points have been removed. Do you plan to find other crystals and anchor points in the remaining time? But
The other party has been setting it up for such a long time, so I’m afraid they won’t sit still and wait for death. This won’t be an easy thing——”
"I understand," Fang Yu took a breath, obviously not unprepared for the current situation, "but I at least know that there is a crystal in Elpaxin, and the other anchor point may be there as well. Next we must
We need to go to that place, but just relying on our strength is not enough right now.”
"Is that why you're here?"
Fang Plover nodded.
But he still had to wait for something.
In just a moment, his communication crystal lit up, and a voice that was both unfamiliar to him and somewhat familiar came from inside: "Ed, is everything you said true?"
"President Chenxi."
Fang Yu said with some surprise. He had expected that someone would contact him, but he didn't expect that the first one would be the helmsman of Silver Vislan.
He paused before speaking: "Everything I recorded came from the mouth of the Patriarch of the Diocese of the Crow Claw Temple in the Altore area. I am very confident that everything he said is true."
"You did a good job, Ed," Chen Xi's tone softened: "Odin and I were right about you."
"President?"
"What are you going to do next," Chen Xi asked: "I have sent people to the Tower of Stars and Moon. How do you need us to help you?"
"President Chenxi, Gula's crystal has been activated," Fang Plover looked straight and replied quickly: "Now we have to go to Elpaxin. I suspect that the second crystal is there."
"The power of the El Paxin natives is powerful," Chen Xi mused: "Almost none of the major guilds of the Rainbow Alliance in the north have a base there. If the shadow people control the upper levels of the alliance and the kingdom, we will enter
I'm afraid there will be considerable resistance there."
Fang Yu nodded. This was the reason why he came to Gula in the first place.
But just as he was about to speak, suddenly the Tower of Stars and Moon shook violently, interrupting his words and interrupting communication.
Fang Yu could hardly hold the communication crystal in his hand, and let it fly out and land on the ground. The communication crystal lit up, and for a moment, a rapid voice came from inside instead of Chen Xi's voice:
"Captain Ed, he is a city guard..."
"The City Guards are mobilizing on a large scale and they have surrounded this direction."
"And there's something strange in the sky...there's something strange in the sky."
Fang Yu recognized the owner of that voice immediately.
That was Blackbo and his party.
…
Clock Tower.
The door leading to the study was gently pushed open by a ghostly hand.
The chief executive of Gula Port looked at the uninvited 'guests' with some horror. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was being pinned to his seat, and subconsciously wanted to step back, but he just twisted in place.
Just moving his fat body.
The leader of the 'guests' looked at this poor guy who was almost paralyzed on the chair with fear, his face was as pale as shaking chaff, he pursed his lips in a mocking manner, took off the hood of the cloak on his head with his hands, and
A pale and thin face was revealed below.
The consul recognized the face in front of him. The fleshy face showed surprise and joy for a moment, but then turned into a deeper fear: "You, you are..."
"Our cooperation was quite pleasant before, Your Majesty the Consul," the 'guest' said with a smile, "but now we need you to do us one last favor."
The mass of fat on the consul's face was trembling so much that it was distorted: "If you have anything to say, I can cooperate with you in whatever you need. I, I am the heir of the Contepera family... I, I can
I’ve helped you with a lot of things... Please, don’t kill me..."
"Oh?" the 'guest' smiled: "Really anything is okay? Then we hope that the consul can sleep here peacefully and leave Gula Port to us."
"Wha, what!?"
The moment the 'guest' finished speaking the last word, his tone seemed to be stretched infinitely, his pale face became distorted, and purple flames spurted out from his deep-set eyes, nostrils and mouth, and in an instant
The skin was torn apart, and the clothes and cloak were ignited. A silhouette gradually formed in the rolling flames, as if it were a tall humanoid creature, stretching out its right hand and pressing it on the Archon's forehead under the horrified gaze -
—
About a quarter of an hour later.
Under the somewhat surprised gazes of the servants, their Lord Consul appeared in the castle at this point, and accompanied by a group of people, boarded a carriage that had been waiting there for a long time.
The carriage quickly drove out of Clock Tower and headed towards the city hall.
…
Putting down the communication crystal in his hand, Canghai Guzhou raised his hand, preparing to order to cut off the communication between the entire fleet and the outside world.
But a hand reached out from behind and held him down. He turned around and saw the caution in Qiao Li's gray eyes, "Listen to the end of this recording."
A hint of surprise flashed in Canghai Guzhou's eyes. However, although the two of them had not been working together for a long time, they had already formed quite a tacit understanding. He stopped and asked, "What's going on?"
Qiao Li shook his head and lowered his voice: "We cannot attack the Skyfire Guild. There is a problem here, Guzhou. Before issuing an order, you'd better seek the opinion of the guild president."
Canghai Guzhou was slightly startled, but he actually felt a little strange in his heart, "Do you think there is something wrong with this order?" His expression suddenly changed, because he saw a sword suddenly appeared on Qiao Li's neck.
Canghai Guzhou's eyes calmed down, because at the same time, a sharp sword with a cold light was also placed on his neck.
"Lingluo, what are you going to do?"
"Commander," the man with the sword on his neck said, "We have also received instructions. If you plan to disobey the order, then the higher ups will let us take over the fleet."
"Commander, don't blame us. This is also an order from the club. By the way, don't ask for trouble. The people over at the resurrection point should also take action. Commander, don't waste your efforts."
Canghai Guzhou looked forward motionlessly and asked calmly: "What are you going to do?"
"Cut off the entire fleet's external communication, execute the order, and open fire on the Skyfire Guild's fleet."
"Okay." Canghai Guzhou raised his hand.
The man looked at them with a satisfied look on his face: "Wise move."
At the same time, on the lower deck of the Red Queen, two sneaky figures were passing through the crowded utility room.
Kaka and Liu Ying carefully squeezed through the passages filled with goods and came to a transom before stopping.
This is the anchor room. The huge iron chain passes above the two people's heads and passes through the anchor hole not far away. A pair of anchors from the Red Queen are fixed outside. The anchor room is empty, and there are clicks everywhere.
After looking around, I found a huge wooden box nearby and swept the dust off it with my hands.
"What on earth are you doing?" Six Shadows finally couldn't bear the other's whims. "Do you know that we have violated discipline? There may be some wartime laws and so on. You'd better explain this to me.
thing."
She held her forehead: "...Why would I listen to your nonsense?"
"Because I need your help. We are partners. You won't leave me alone, right?" Kaka put her hand on the wooden box and pulled it hard, but it didn't move at all: "Quick, come here and give me a hand.
"
"Shut up, I'm going back. Before those people find out that we have escaped, what makes you so brave?" Liuying gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Why are you always so helpless?
-sky!"
Kaka pointed at the transom on the ceiling, gesturing for her to keep her voice down. A figure was flashing on the grated transom, "I think you'd better not go back. There are some changes happening outside now."
"Change?" The girl looked at this man very suspiciously.
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
Kaka simply leaned against the box, turned around and said: "This operation has been full of abnormality from the beginning. Let's not talk about the live broadcast arranged by the descendants of Flor.
It feels deliberate. The final result of mobilizing troops and mobilizing a large number of people is not cost-effective in any case. This is not in line with our consistent style, isn't it?"
"It's not so much a show of strength, but a deliberate demonstration. Who are we demonstrating to? Who is worthy of our demonstration? No matter how you think about it, it's full of something wrong. I've heard some things before... Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Yes, but if it was just a guess before, now I have confirmed it."
Liuying felt his forehead began to bulge again, gritted his teeth and said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Someone started a mutiny on the bridge, and now the command of the fleet is no longer in the hands of our commander."
"What?"
Six Shadows' voices were eight pitches higher, but Kaka reacted faster and quickly covered her mouth with his hand.
The girl pulled away his hand with a look of disgust, "Let me go, bah bah!"
She took two steps back and looked at Kaka very suspiciously, "Why do I feel that you are lying to me? You have been with me from the beginning. How do you know what happened on the bridge?"
Kaka threw the gadget in his hand and whispered: "Have you forgotten what my profession is?"
Six Shadows looked at the clockwork goblin with some horror, and his beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "You, you, you, how dare you peek at the things on the bridge, if you are discovered, you will be finished, no,
I will also die with you——!" "Isn't this not discovered?"
"You bastard, after this mission is over, I must apply to sever my relationship with you. I want to change my partner, absolutely! No, I can't wait until the mission is over, I have to do this now-"
But before Liu Ying finished speaking, the Red Queen suddenly experienced a violent earthquake, causing her to fall to the ground.
But Kaka on the side seemed to have expected it. He was holding the wooden box with his hands. After the violent vibration, there was a roar like thunder. He held the wooden box and moved dexterously.
Zhu Er climbed up, then hung the iron ring on the anchor chain with his hand, stood on tiptoes, and looked out from the huge anchor hole——
A flash of light reflected his face as white as snow.
"What happened?" Six Shadows sat on the ground and asked tremblingly, "Have we been attacked?"
"No, they took action against the Skyfire Fleet."
"What, isn't the Skyfire Fleet our ally?"
"It used to be, but it may not be the case now. I can't even tell which side we belong to now," Kaka turned around and said.
"But..." The girl was a little unbelievable, but she finally believed everything the other person said before, "...what should we do now?"
"The two of us can't even protect ourselves," Kaka replied: "We have to help earlier."
