In the afternoon, the sun was still blazing in the wild.

There was a huge bird in the sky, and the wings that covered the sky, a gust of wind blew up, uprooted the trees on the ground, and went straight to the sky.

The interstellar beasts in the woods fled everywhere because of this unpredictable disaster.

Behind a small hill somewhere, more than a hundred people were crawling on the ground, hugging the rocks around them one by one, and a bowl-shaped transparent wind shield was propped up above their heads, helping them reduce some pressure and prevent them from being blown away by the strong wind .

Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, the **** team finally reached the border of Lanyue City this afternoon.

Lanyue City is different from the Imperial City. The guard strength is enough to defend the border area, and it is not enough to radiate all around like the Imperial City, and slowly remove the threat of interstellar beasts.

In the distance, they could see a long city wall.

The city wall is about ten meters high, and about a hundred meters away from the city wall, a transparent light curtain can be seen, with a faint glow flowing in the sunlight.

That is the barrier released by the guardian magic circle. After the beast wave three years ago, it has been protecting Lanyue City.

It can be said that without this barrier, Lanyue City would have been razed to the ground by interstellar beasts.

The imperial city also has similar protective barriers.

However, they were on a military shuttle at the time, and they were not as real as they are now.

Outside the protective barrier, there are large and small interstellar beasts, all of which are one or two stars in strength.

It was a bit tricky to get past, but the unnamed bird\'s wings spread caused a lot of damage to the vegetation on the ground, causing many interstellar beasts to flee.

This created an opportunity for the **** team.

The players are still looking up at the sky. The huge flying interstellar beast just now is so close to them that they can see the feathers on its wings.

It\'s just that the bird stayed away from them, because when a piece of its feather fell off and landed next to them, they realized how big the feather was - more than a meter long and half the height of a human being.

If it weren\'t for the nearly two weeks of military life and the severe suppression by the vice-captain, this group of players who were not afraid of the sky would probably have been screaming.

At least, after the cloud players in the live broadcast room saw the bird, the barrage exploded.

This is like a beast that only appears in special effects in a movie, and it can be seen in a holographic game! Not only to see, but also to touch!

One player took advantage of the reduced wind pressure and sneaked back the feather not far away.

Li Lai saw this scene and did not stop it.

Because the huge bird in the sky should be a four or five star beast, its feathers are a good material, and it has a deterrent effect on one or two star beasts.

As for why it appeared over Lanyue City?

It is estimated that winter is coming, and they are migrating.

This one is probably just the vanguard, and more large birds and beasts will fly by in the future. They generally do not attack the creatures on the ground, but when they appear, it is best to stay away.

When the figure of the flying interstellar beast was gone, Li Lai released his mental power to observe the surroundings, and at the same time used the communication device to contact the consul of Lanyue City.

Without the assistance of the consul, they would not be able to enter Lanyue City.

"The Imperial City **** team has arrived!"

When the consul received the news, he immediately rushed to the city wall without stopping, and at the same time notified the army that had been arranged to respond.

When I was about to get into the car, I accidentally encountered a wind elemental master who had returned from outside, and was also the spiritual elemental master who taught Xu Yuheng the wind skills yesterday.

"Oh, William, it seems that another star beast broke in today in the west?" The Archon stopped and asked him about the situation.

"Yes."

William\'s face was slightly tired and haggard.

"This situation is getting worse and worse, and if it goes on like this, the soldiers will not be able to endure it."

"I understand." The consul sighed and cheered up quickly, "The **** from the imperial city has arrived."

"There are many elementalists in the **** team. Maybe I can apply to Your Majesty to let these excellent warriors stay and help us, and your burden will be greatly reduced."

William paused, then smiled and said, "That\'s great, but... the loss rate of the **** team in previous years was very high, I don\'t know this year..."

He didn\'t continue to speak, but there was a bit of regret in his expression.

The consul nodded heavily, and then quickly patted his shoulder and said, "This time, there are also the brave people who came along, maybe they can bring surprises."

"Brave?"

"Yeah, I came out of the summoning circle, and this time I came with the **** team."

"Oh, it\'s that legend of the brave...Are they powerful?" William asked.

The consul shook his head. He had received some messages, and he knew that the strength of the brave was indescribable.

He didn\'t say much about this topic, only said: "Go and rest, I\'m going to meet them at the city gate."

"At least this year, if the Elementalist branch is built in the city, the children will no longer have to venture to the imperial city."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard William say, "I\'ll accompany you. If there is an accident during the reception outside, I might be able to help a little."

"That couldn\'t be better."

The consul readily agreed and invited him to get on the old hover car and head towards the city gate together.

When they arrived at the city gate, William took the consul directly to the top of the city and looked out of the city from afar.

Almost at a glance, I saw the traces of the **** team, they were meeting with the **** team.

Because of the bird, the interstellar beasts outside the city gate all fled, leaving a large open space. It seems that they should be able to come to the city safely before the interstellar beasts gather again.

The consul nodded in relief and heard William ask, "Who is leading the team this time?"

"It\'s Li Lai, it seems to be your junior brother?" The consul smiled, "He is still close to being promoted to the second star. You are both wind element masters, maybe you can have a good conversation."

William nodded thoughtfully, watched the **** team meet with the response team, and then boarded the **** team of the hover vehicle.

According to the previous numbers, the size of the **** team is controlled at about a hundred...

Are they unscathed this time?

This discovery made his pupils shrink. William looked at the consul and asked the number of people in the **** team this time.

The consul recalled for a moment and said, "About two hundred people."

Then he also discovered the problem. Seeing that the five or six hover vehicles were full, and the rest of the **** team members who could only run away, he was also a little surprised.

"It seems that the loss rate this time is not high, only about half, and there are still hundreds of people who have survived!"

His face was full of relief, and William nodded in agreement.

Although half the damage rate is not bad, but compared with the uninjured one he just guessed, this figure is still acceptable.

The consul was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. After the **** team entered the protective barrier, he called on William, and ran down the city wall excitedly, standing at the door to greet the **** team.

The first to enter the city were the soldiers carrying ten elemental teachers. With the blessing of the wind element, their running speed was even faster than the suspension car.

After rushing into the city gate and seeing Lanyue City\'s army, a group of disgraced people almost cried with joy.

Even the players cheered with joy.

Damn, I can finally go offline!

Although the game is fun, it can\'t stand it without being offline for a long time!

However, before going offline, the players first determined the status of the mission.

[Elementalist Branch Lanyue City (Elite)]

[Description: This is a branch task of the epic mission [Elementalist Branch], please **** ten Elementalist teachers to Lanyue City, and establish an Elementalist Branch (10/10)]

[Quest reward: a lot of experience points, reputation, land construction order (fragment)*1]

Ten Elementalist teachers have arrived in Lanyue City safely. Next, as long as the Elementalist branch is established, they can get the land construction order fragments!

After two weeks of hard work, it was all worth it!

Just when they were about to go offline and have a good sleep, they were stopped by Qingyan.

"Just bear with it first, now is the time to brush up on your favorability. If you miss this village, you won\'t have this store."

Yes! There is also a good feeling!

As soon as they heard that it was beneficial, everyone resisted and did not leave, and followed the large army to gather under the city gate.

The consul first chatted with Li Lai, and then looked at the soldiers in the **** team, his eyes dazzled.

A full 80 elite soldiers! Coupled with Li Lai, a powerful wind element master, he is definitely a well-trained and powerful soldier.

They have proved their strength with practical actions to be able to survive the crisis on this road safely.

Of course, there are more than 30 brave warriors that he was not very optimistic about before.

Their breath is still very weak, and the strongest is the level of ordinary people who have not undergone training, but they actually followed the whole process.

It has to be said that it is truly a miracle!

"Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, you are very good! It is estimated that you can be promoted to colonel when you go back this time."

The consul smiled and said authentically.

With Li Lai\'s status and ability, it was not easy for him to keep him, and someone would always go back to report his work, so he had no idea about Li Lai, and only took a fancy to the soldiers he brought over.

Who knows, Li Lai shook his head.

He looked at the players with admiration and sadness in his eyes, and he said, "This time the task was completed so perfectly, thanks to the brave men, it was their sacrifices that brought all this."

"When I get back to the Imperial City, I will beg Admiral Joyce to apologize."

The consul was stunned for a moment, and pleaded guilty?

Obviously brought everyone to safety, what\'s the crime?

Probably seeing his ignorance, Li Lai sighed, looked at the players, and whispered to him: "Sir, take a good look at the heroes and feel it with your mental power."

The Archon is a half-star elementalist, but he is a martial artist and cannot use mental power, but he has his own way of judgment.

He understood what Li Lai meant, changed his perspective to look at the players, and was shocked!

What the hell!

He widened his eyes and looked at Li Lai in disbelief, suspecting that his senses were wrong.

Li Lai nodded at him.

"That\'s right, all of them are elementalists, and most of them are spiritual."

He said solemnly, "At the time of departure, there were 81 people, and half of them died on the way... Now there is a team left on the other side of the Neria River, and I will go to pick them up tomorrow."

The consul still stared at him, feeling that Li Lai might be suffering from hysteria, but looking at the more than 30 brave men in front of him, he felt the fluctuations in their not weak elements...

He couldn\'t help covering his chest.

The consul understood why Li Lai had to take the blame.

The loss of nearly 50 elementalists, most of them are from the spiritual department!

What are you kidding? This is simply murder!

The consul looked at Li Lai\'s eyes suddenly changed, but he didn\'t show it too obviously, but his attitude was obviously a lot colder.

However, when he thought about the death of nearly 50 elemental masters, and then thought of Lanyue City, which was supported by more than a hundred one-star elemental masters, he suddenly felt sad.

"Li Lai, you should go to a military court!"

"Even Admiral Joyce... I\'ll report it to Your Majesty! You neglect your duties and make fun of the elementalist\'s life! You should be punished!"

The consul lowered his voice, but his grief could still be seen.

Li Lai lowered his head and listened silently, obviously he himself recognized the consul\'s words.

And William on the side was also surprised.

Anyone who sees so many unfamiliar one-star elementalists at once will be surprised.

Although the player\'s blood volume is low, the level is actually on the tenth level, which is a one-star elementalist.

By observing the elements gathered around them through mental power, William can roughly see what strength they are.

Therefore, he was as surprised as the consul, speechless.

Because of the proximity, the words of the consul who reprimanded Li Lai faintly reached the ears of the players.

After getting along for so long, it was a deadly friendship. They had a deep sense of belonging to Li Lai, the team leader. Seeing him being trained, they were immediately upset.

"This old man seems to be sending Team Li to court?"

"Fuck, just as Team Li brought us here, you want to put on Team Li\'s shoes? Can\'t bear it!"

"That\'s right, I can\'t bear it!"

The crowd was excited, but Qingyan still shouted in the channel: "Shut up for me!"

The team channel was quiet.

During this period of time, Qingyan still established a lot of prestige among the players, but at this moment, it was obvious that some people were not convinced.

At this time, I heard Qingyan say: "Didn\'t you hear that the Archon blamed Li Lai because the Elementalist died? Who are the dead people in our mission?"

"Aren\'t they all our people? They were all resurrected in the central town of Lanyue City, and they didn\'t die."

Qingyan said helplessly: "But they don\'t believe us, so they want to convict Li Lai."

She ordered her teammates who had died on the road earlier.

"You are all resurrected? Can you choose someone as a representative to prove that you are not dead?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the team channel said, "Sister Qingyan, I was just about to tell you."

"Someone in Lanyue City has built a mercenary group. The mercenary group is a guild. The leader of the group has a summoning order and can summon members of the same city to his side!"

They have been on their way for the past few days and have no time to understand these consultations. Now, when they are free, some people rush to share information.

"Now a mission to protect Lanyue City has been triggered. Although it is only an elite mission, the reward is full of 100,000 Aixue coins and 200 blood medicines!"

"The trigger person is the head of the first mercenary group in the game, called Yushu Linfeng."

"He has to protect Lanyue City and find 10 traitors to complete the task. Now is the time when manpower is needed. Would you like to contact him and see if we can help?"

Helping is of course polite, the most important thing is to get a share of the pie!

Moreover, the players from their imperial city, because of this escort, have all learned skills from NPCs, and their level is definitely better than the players in Lanyue City.

If Yushu Linfeng wasn\'t an extreme supporter of the city, there would be no reason not to cooperate with them.

The players on Qingyan\'s side lit up when they heard it, but Qingyan frowned.

traitor?

Besides the Roland Empire, are there other countries around here? So far, their exploration of this game is just the tip of the iceberg, and these are all very important information.

At this moment, in the void in front of Qingyan, a friend request popped up.

[Yushu Linfeng requests to add you as a friend]

Yushu Linfeng?

Qingyan raised her eyebrows and chose to pass.

On the other side, Xu Yuheng, who was staying in the military camp, watched Qingyan pass his friend request, and hurriedly sent a voice request.

Now the situation is urgent, he is not talking nonsense.

"I\'m Yushu Linfeng, the head of the Yu Siqing mercenary group. I watched the live broadcast of the **** team before. Are you still the captain?"

After getting Qingyan\'s affirmative reply, he asked again, "Have you told the NPC that players can be resurrected now?"

Qingyan pursed her lips, "I said it, but no one believes it."

"None of you have been resurrected in situ?"

"no."

"That\'s good, don\'t let the NPC know this for a short time."

Qing Yan frowned, "Why?"

"The military in Lanyue City has traitors." Xu Yuheng did not hide it, "They may be hiding among the people who received you."

"Infinite resurrection is our trump card. Before we catch the traitor, we should hide it."

He nodded lightly, but did not cooperate, "Why should I listen to you?"

Xu Yuheng paused.

But soon, he heard Qingyan\'s tone soften, "If it\'s good, it\'s not impossible to cooperate."

Then, she gave him an analysis of the pros and cons, and introduced the advantages of the Imperial City players.

Xu Yuheng doesn\'t care whether Lanyue City or the Imperial City, as long as the traitor can be caught early.

Anyway, Bryce postponed the plan to blow up the magic circle. He called the players in the group today, and he can continue to shake people tomorrow and the day after.

In the end, he agreed to Qingyan\'s conditions. In addition to fifty blood medicines, he would also tell them how to build a mercenary group after the event was completed.

And after this mission is over, Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai must be cleared of his innocence as soon as possible.

This makes Xu Yuheng strange.

It turned out that it was not just him, there were other people who took NPC to heart.

After he shook his head and hung up the communication, he was ready to organize the players who were still on standby offline to go to the Elementalist teacher for a job transfer together.

At present, Lanyue City players can only complete the transfer in advance through him. Otherwise, they have to wait for the Elementalist teachers to go to the central town and build the Elementalist branch.

After he shakes the players from the Imperial City tomorrow, there are still some places that can be given to Lanyue City players, but he is not ready to give money.

Transferring to become an elementist in advance is their reward. They love it or not. After all, he has enough manpower now.

Just after Xu Yuheng approached the consul and explained his purpose, new news from Xiao Wu came again.

"Second brother, second brother, Traitor No. 2 sent a message to Bryce again."

Xu Yuheng moved in his heart.

This traitor No. 2 is the wind elementist William who taught him skills yesterday!

He contacted Bryce using a communication device that was not his own. His anti-reconnaissance ability was not bad, but he couldn\'t fight against the powerful artificial intelligence after all.

Xu Yuheng glanced at the information and couldn\'t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The NPC really noticed the player, and looking at his tone, he was really frightened by the players of all the Elementalists.

When he saw his last message, Xu Yuheng blinked, then laughed a little.

"Before the brave men grow up, they must be strangled in the cradle!"

Xu Yuheng shook his head, players... can you kill them? Wouldn\'t it be nice to be honest and conspiracy? What do you say you provoke players?

However, at the current stage, there are still two other main cities that have not sent people to build branches, and players who have not changed careers are very weak in combat...

But after thinking about it, the first closed beta is about to end. The traitor and the player probably won\'t be able to trouble each other.

"Little Wu, continue to monitor Bryce."

Xu Yuheng said in a low voice, "Apart from the seven known people, does he have contact with anyone else?"

"No more." Xiao Wu said crisply.

Xu Yuheng was a little disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn\'t be in a hurry, so he let Xiao Wu continue to fish, and if he could catch one, one was one.

At the end, he couldn\'t help but ask about his brother\'s situation.

The two broke up that day, and Xiao Li left crying. I don\'t know what\'s going on with him now, is he still hiding under the covers and crying?

"Brother is fine."

At this time, Xiao Wu said ignorantly, "It seems that I am in a good mood, and I have more chats with Xiao Wu."

Xu Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It\'s good if he can figure it out on his own, and I can feel at ease for the time being."

He nodded, thinking that he would see the consul later, and he had to tell him about letting him **** the team back, but he heard Xiao Wu\'s slightly innocent and curious voice.

"Second brother, second brother, have you kissed anyone?"

Xu Yuheng paused, and he glanced at the image of a small robot in the communication device.

This...is not right.

Although as an artificial intelligence, it is normal for Xiao Wu to be curious about kissing these human beings, but there must be an opportunity for him to ask such a question, right?

"Of course," he said after thinking about it, "but why are you asking this?"

"What does it feel like to kiss?"

The little robot raised its mechanical arm, held its cheeks, and said in a pure and ignorant tone, "I wanted to ask my brother, but I was afraid that he would get angry and hit me."

"Why did he get angry and hit you?"

"Because... I accidentally saw it secretly..."

Xu Yuheng\'s heart skipped a beat.

Secretly...see what?
