In the afternoon, the sun in the field is still blazing.

A huge bird passed by in the sky, with its wings covering the sky and the sun, a gust of wind blew up, uprooting the trees on the ground, and directly flying them into the sky.

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

Behind a certain small hill, more than 100 people crawled on the ground, one by one hugging the rocks around them tightly. The bowl-shaped transparent wind shield stretched above their heads, which helped them reduce some pressure and prevent them from being blown away by the strong wind.

Led by Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, the escort team finally reached the border of Lanyue City this afternoon.

Lanyue City is different from the Imperial City in that its guards are strong enough to hold the border area, but not enough to radiate around like the Imperial City and slowly eliminate 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, shining faintly in the sunlight.

That is the barrier released by the guardian circle, which has been protecting Lanyue City since the beast tide three years ago.

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

The imperial city also has a similar protective barrier.

But they were on a military shuttle at the time, so they couldn't see it as clearly as they do now.

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

It was still a bit tricky to pass, but the unidentified bird spread its wings and caused a lot of damage to the vegetation on the ground, causing many interstellar beasts to flee.

This created an opportunity for the escort team.

The players were still looking up at the sky. The huge flying interstellar beast just now was too close to them, so close that they could see the feathers on its wings clearly.

It's just that the bird was still a little far away from them, because when a piece of its feather fell off and landed beside them, they realized how big the feather was - it was more than one meter long and half as tall as a person.

If it weren't for the nearly two weeks of military life and the severe suppression by the vice-captain, this group of fearless players would probably have started 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 movie special effects, and it can be seen in holographic games!Not only can you see it, but you can even touch it!

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

Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai saw this scene and did not stop him.

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

As for why it appeared above Lanyue City?

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

This one is probably just a vanguard, and more large birds and beasts will fly by later. They generally don't attack creatures on the ground, but when they come and go, it's best to stay away.

After 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 governor of Lanyue City.

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

"The imperial escort 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 troops that had been arranged in advance to respond.

When preparing to get in the car, he accidentally ran into the wind elementalist who came back from outside, and he was also the spiritual elementalist who taught Xu Yuheng the wind skills yesterday.

"Oh, William, it seems that Ximen has another interstellar beast breaking in today?" The consul stopped and asked him about the situation.

"Yes."

William's face was slightly tired and haggard.

"This situation is getting more and more serious. If this continues, the soldiers will not be able to survive."

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

"There are quite a few elementalists in the escort team. Maybe I can apply to His Majesty to let these outstanding fighters stay and help us. By then, your burden will be greatly reduced."

William paused, then said with a smile: "That's really great, but... the loss rate of the escort team in previous years is very high, I don't know this year..."

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

The consul nodded heavily, then quickly patted him on the shoulder and said, "This time there are also brave men who will follow, maybe they can bring surprises."

"Brave?"

"Yeah, the one who came out of the summoning circle came with the escort team this time."

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

The consul shook his head. He had received some messages and knew that the strength of the brave man was beyond words.

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

"At least if we build an elementalist branch in the city this year, the children won't have to venture to the imperial city anymore."

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he heard William say, "I'll go with you. If something happens 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 suspension car and head towards the city gate together.

When they arrived at the city gate, William flew directly to the top of the city with the consul, and looked out of the city from a distance.

It was almost just a glance to see the trace of the support team, and they were joining the escort team.

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

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

"It's Li Lai, seems to be your junior?" The consul smiled, "He's almost promoted to two stars, you are both wind elementalists, maybe you can have a good chat."

William nodded thoughtfully. Looking at the escort team that met with the support team and then boarded the suspension vehicle, he roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred of them.

According to the number of people in the past, the size of the escort team is controlled at about a hundred...

Could it be that they were unscathed this time?

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

The consul thought about it and said, "About 200 people."

Then he also discovered the problem. Seeing that five or six suspension vehicles were full, leaving only the members of the escort team who could only run, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

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

He was full of relief, and William nodded in agreement.

Although half of the loss rate is not bad, but compared to the no injury he just guessed, this figure is still acceptable.

The consul rubbed his hands excitedly. After the escort team entered the protective barrier, he called William, ran down the city wall excitedly, and stood at the gate to meet the escort team.

The first to enter the city were soldiers carrying ten elementalist teachers on their backs. With the blessing of wind elements, their running speed was even faster than that of a levitating car.

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

Even the players cheered happily.

Whoops, it's finally offline!

Although the game is fun, you can't stand it if you don't go offline for a long time!

But before going offline, the players first confirmed the status of the task.

[Elementalist Branch Lanyue City (Elite)]

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

[Task rewards: a lot of experience points, reputation, land construction orders (fragments)*1]

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

Hard work for almost two weeks, everything is worth it!

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

"Be patient for now, now is the time to increase your favorability. If you miss this village, there will be no store."

Yes indeed!And favorability!

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

The consul exchanged pleasantries with Li Lai first, and then looked at the soldiers of the escort team, his eyes dazzled.

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

Being able to safely survive the crisis along the way, they have proved their strength with practical actions.

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

Their breath is still very weak, and the strongest is the level of ordinary people who haven't been trained, but they followed the whole process.

This has to be said, it is really a miracle!

"Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai, you are amazing! I think you can be promoted to colonel this time when you go back."

The consul smiled authentically.

With Li Lai's status and ability, it was difficult for him to keep him, and someone had to go back to report on his duties, so he had no idea about Li Lai, only the soldiers he brought over.

Unexpectedly, Li Lai shook his head.

He looked at the players, with admiration and sadness in his eyes, and he said: "This time the task can be completed so perfectly, thanks to the brave ones, it is their sacrifices that made it all possible."

"When I return to the imperial city, I will apologize to Admiral Joyce."

The consul was taken aback for a moment, pleading guilty?

Obviously brought everyone to safety, what is the crime?

Seeing his confusion, Li Lai sighed, looked at the players, and said to him in a low voice: "My lord, take a good look at the brave men and use your mental strength to feel them."

The consul is a half-star elementalist, but he belongs to the warrior department and cannot use mental power, but he has his own way of judging.

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 feelings were wrong.

Li Lai nodded at him.

"That's right, all of them are elementalists, and most of them are from the spiritual department."

He said solemnly, "There were 81 people when we set off, and half of them died on the way... There is still a small team left on the other side of the Nelia River, and I will go to pick them up tomorrow."

The consul still stared at his eyes, feeling that Li Lai might be suffering from hysteria, but looking at the more than 30 brave men in front of him, he could feel the not-so-weak elemental fluctuations in them...

He couldn't help covering his chest.

The consul understood why Li Lai had to plead guilty.

The loss of nearly fifty elementalists, most of them were from the spiritual department!

What are you kidding?This is simply murder!

The Consul's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Li Lai, but he didn't show it too obviously, but his attitude was obviously much colder.

However, thinking about the death of nearly fifty elemental masters, and thinking about Lanyue City, which was supported by hundreds of elemental masters above one star, he suddenly felt sad.

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

"Even Admiral Joyce... I will report it to His Majesty! You are negligent and make fun of the elementalist's life! You should be punished!"

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

Li Lai lowered his head and listened silently. Obviously, he himself agreed with the words of the consul.

And William on the side was also full of surprise.

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

Although the blood volume of the players is low, the level has actually risen to level ten, that is, a one-star elementalist.

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

So, like the consul, he was astonished and speechless.

Because of the proximity, the consul's reprimand to Li Lai faintly reached the players' ears.

Having been together for so long and having a lifelong friendship, they have a deep sense of belonging to Li Lai, the leader of the team. Seeing him being scolded, they immediately felt uncomfortable.

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

"Fuck, Captain Li just brought us here, and you want to wear small shoes for Captain Li? I can't bear it!"

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

The crowd was excited, but Qingyan yelled in the channel: "Shut up!"

The team channel fell silent.

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

At this time, Qingyan said: "Didn't you hear that the consul blamed Li Lai for the death of the elementalist? In our mission, who died?"

"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 the teammate who died on the road before.

"You are all resurrected? Can you choose someone to come over 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 established a mercenary group. The mercenary group is a guild. The head of the mercenary group has a summoning order to call members from the same city to his side!"

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

"Now here is a mission to protect Lanyue City. Although it is only an elite mission, the rewards are 10 Aixue coins and [-] blood medicines!"

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

"He has to guard Lanyue City, and he can only complete the task by finding out 10 traitors. Now is the time when manpower is needed, why don't you contact him and see if we can help?"

Help is of course a polite word, the most important thing is to get a share of the action!

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

If Yushu Linfeng is not the kind of extreme supporter of the city, there is no reason not to cooperate with them.

The players on Qingyan's side all had their eyes 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, which is very important information.

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

[Yushu Linfeng requests to add you as a friend]

Yushu facing the wind?

Qingyan raised her eyebrows and chose to pass.

On the other side, Xu Yuheng, who was staying in the barracks, watched Qingyan pass his friend request, and quickly sent another voice request.

Now that the situation is urgent, he has no nonsense.

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

After receiving a positive reply from Qingyan, he asked again: "Have you told the NPC about the resurrection of players?"

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

"None of you have resurrected in situ?"

"No."

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

Qingyan frowned, "Why?"

"There are traitors in the military of Lanyue City." Xu Yuheng did not hide it, "They may be hiding among the people who receive you."

"Infinite resurrection is our hole card. Before catching the traitor, we must hide it."

Qing Yan nodded, but did not cooperate, "Why does my mother listen to you?"

Xu Yuheng paused.

But soon, he heard Qingyan's tone soften, "If there are benefits, cooperation is not impossible."

Then, she analyzed the pros and cons for him, and introduced the advantages of players in the imperial city.

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 summoned the players in the regiment today, and he can continue to shake people tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

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

And after this task is over, Lieutenant Colonel Li Lai must be cleared as soon as possible.

This made Xu Yuheng feel weird.

It turned out that it wasn't just him, there were other NPCs who cared about him.

After he shook his head and hung up the communication, he prepared to organize the players who were still on standby offline to find the Elementalist teacher to change jobs together.

Now the players in Lanyue City 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, he still has some places to give to the players from Lanyue City, but he is not going to give money.

Changing jobs in advance to become elementalists is their reward, whether they like it or not, after all, he has enough manpower now.

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

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

Xu Yuheng's heart skipped a beat.

This traitor No. 2 is the Wind Elementalist William who taught him the skills yesterday!

He contacted Bryce, using a communication device that was not his own, and his anti-detection ability was not bad, but he couldn't beat the powerful artificial intelligence after all.

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

The NPC really noticed the player. Judging by his tone, he was really frightened by all the elementalist players.

When seeing his last message, Xu Yuheng blinked, and then laughed a little.

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

Xu Yuheng shook his head, the players... are you capable of killing them?Isn't it good to be honest and conspiratorial?Why do you say you provoke players?

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

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

"Little Five, continue to monitor Bryce."

Xu Yuheng whispered, "Apart from the seven known people, does he still have contact with other people?"

"No more." Xiao Wu said crisply.

Xu Yuheng was a little disappointed, but he also knew that there was no rush, so he asked Xiao Wu to continue fishing, and if he could catch one, he had to grasp Bryce's plan carefully.

At the end, he couldn't help asking about the situation with his younger brother.

The two broke up that day, Xiao Li still cried and left, I don't know what's going on with him now, is he still hiding in bed crying?

"Brother is fine."

At this time, Xiao Wu said ignorantly, "I seem to be in a better mood, and I have chatted more with Xiao Wu."

Xu Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he can figure it out by himself, and I can rest assured for the time being."

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

"Second Brother, Second Brother, have you ever kissed someone else?"

Xu Yuheng paused, and he glanced at the image belonging to the little 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 things that humans would do, but there must be some opportunity for him to ask such a question, right?

"Of course." He thought for a while and said, "But why do you ask this?"

"What was it like to kiss?"

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

"Why did he hit you in anger?"

"Because... I accidentally saw..."

Xu Yuheng's heart skipped a beat.

Secretly... see what?
