Fang Plover rustles a red line on the map with a quill.

The wind whistling outside the window was passing through the empty wooden lattice, shaking the lamps on the ceiling, making the light in the room uncertain. In the darkness and distance of space, the screaming sound echoed ethereally, like a witch whispering.

He put down his pen and looked at everyone seated, the changing light reflecting more than a dozen faces with different expressions. Everyone looked at this side, men and women, tall and short, and most of them, he didn't know.

"Let me introduce myself, although you may have heard some things about me, good or bad, but there is an element of exaggeration. My name is Eddard, and this is me and our adventure party, it's called the Seven Seas Brigade, and it's from Dorifin, and it's from Fenris, and it's been to Istania, as you know. ”

"So, is it the Dragon Alchemist?" At this time, a tall and thin lady laughed and teased.

Fang Yu nodded.

Most of the Electors' path to fame is accompanied by a variety of nicknames and titles, some positive and some negative. Ye Hua was once called the 'Weaver of Elffindor', which was used to describe the meticulousness of the Ranger King, and the other person who also won a similar title was KUN, who later became known as the 'All-Knowing'.

and Odin's title of 'Reckless', and today's 'Witch of the Sea' Mia, who is probably one of the titles he is most familiar with. However, dragons are the most powerful creatures in Aitalia, and any title associated with dragons is mostly first-class, especially dragon slayers, who are almost always accompanied by the Ten Kings.

But his 'Dragon Alchemist' had a bit of a sarcastic connotation, and the well-meaning discussant used it to express that he had fought off Nicol Bolas's Shadow, and those with malicious intentions used the term mostly with a naked mockery.

Although the term was less and less mentioned after the Van Rik affair, it was still enough to make him feel a little embarrassed when it was occasionally used.

But this is becoming less and less common.

Momiji glanced at him with some surprise.

Among so many people, except for the people of the Seven Seas Brigade, she was the only one who probably knew that the other party was not angry and embarrassed. But at this moment, compared with the cognition, the big boy in front of him is much more mature and calm than before, and she almost didn't recognize it.

'Surely he couldn't have introduced himself so freely in front of everyone before,' she couldn't help but think.

It was a somewhat different kind of smell, and that kind of aura she had only seen in a few people, such as Miss Eugudora and the president, in the past.

Calm and calm -

Such composure also affected others, making everyone involuntarily quiet and look in this direction. Of course, it was understood that it was only the Dragon Witch's Shadow who was defeated in that battle, but even so? Because how many more people can do such a thing?

Especially, considering that the other party was just a newcomer at the time, how long did it take from the Dawn Star incident to Van Rik?

'How did this guy get stronger again, how many levels is he?' Momiji couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Although she may have realized this a long time ago, it was only an analysis of the video after all, and it was far less intense than the feeling of putting herself in the shoes at the moment.

Calm is almost always built on the strength behind her, she thinks that she has grown a lot these days, although she may not be as good as the other party, but she will not be pulled down too far. But at this moment, she actually had a faint feeling that she couldn't see through the other party.

Fang Yuan's appearance made the tall and thin lady look at him and be slightly stunned. "My name is Burning Qihua," the tall and thin lady smiled and replied, "the leader of the Howling of the North Wind Adventure Regiment." ”

Fang Yu bowed his head lightly and looked at the others.

In the center of the room was a long table, and everyone at this table had their origins, whether they were Free Electors, or members of a former Free Guild like Tapolis, or even Natives, adventurers, freelancers from Marland.

They came to this place for all sorts of purposes, either for justice and compassion in their hearts, to respond to the call of the goddess, or simply to fight and rebel, to simply get along with the alliance, not to see the actions of the Ravenclaw Temple, in short, they all came here.

Everyone has different ideas, but for the time being there is a relatively consistent purpose, with a common enemy.

"At this moment, on our opposite side, the enemy's strength is far superior to ours."

Fang Yu lowered his head, silently stared at the red line on the map, and spoke.

"The rangers found the Grey Knights from Gura Harbor stationed in the forest to the north, about three or four thousand men, and an equal number of mercenaries. The Grey Knights from Charter City and Elpahim are to the east of us, about the same number. ”

"And as for us......"

As the light of the fire fell on the face on the side of the red leaves, and the shadow climbed along the curve of the bridge of her nose, she turned her head sideways, stared at the conspicuous red line and the mountains marked with gray lines below, and whispered, "There are about 1,000 people who have been redeemed, more than 600 people on my side, and about a few hundred others who have come to support us one after another, and about 2,000 people together." ”

"That is to say," replied Miss Nightingale, tossing the dagger in her hand, "even if you don't count the Descendants of Flor and the Rainbow Alliance, there are almost ten times as many people in the Ravental Sanctuary as we do. ”

"But that's more than that," she added, "and that's just a drop in the bucket compared to its power in the North." The temple has been rooted in this place for a long time, not to mention that they have grown into a behemoth in the past year with the connivance of some people. ”

"Indeed," said Miss Nightingale, agreeing with the words of her head of the regiment, "we are an insignificant force before them. ”

"Isn't that alarmist? I don't think they're going to be able to pull out any more troops, they're going to have to take care of the big army to the north, don't they? Someone asked.

The people whispered, "Yes, they have invested too much attention in us, and they are not afraid that Nicol Bolas's army will profit?" ”

The leader of the redeemed ones, who was standing behind Fang Yuan, clasped his hands, twisted his body when he heard this, and looked in this direction with some malice.

But Alyssa shook her head slightly: "There is such a possibility, but it cannot be ruled out that they see us as a greater threat than the army in the north for their own selfish reasons, or because they are too blind, especially if we may gain an advantage." ”

"When we are prepared, we need to imagine the worst-case scenario. And do you really believe that the Temple will promise the same as all the benefits of the land against that prophecy? ”

Everyone looked at each other, of course they didn't believe in the Ravental Temple, otherwise they wouldn't be here. And the greed of the temple in this process is what stirs up the flames of rebellion in the hearts of the people.

"In the name of righteousness you can do evil things, so it is." The knight with Marlan nodded. ”

"And that's not all," Alyssa said again, "don't forget the Guild Alliance, and the Super Athletic League—"

But people can't help but be a little silent.

They came to this place because of the blood in their hearts, and their dissatisfaction with the ruling group in the north, the Super Athletic Alliance and the Grand Guild. Before arriving, they didn't think too much about it, maybe the enemy was several times their own, but this is Aitalia, the big deal is death, but there is always a chance for the refugees.

This is the righteousness of the human heart, and their perception of sacrifice. But the reality of the black clouds overpowering the general made these kind people a little breathless for a while, they looked at each other, and from Alyssa's somewhat cold words, it seemed that they heard a time from the past.

In the fascinating history of Mount Covenant, how could countless people not choose it that way? They threw themselves into the war to protect the weak and the righteous, and for a moment it seemed that the whole world responded to the voices of support and positivity, and as the electors of the new generation, few of the people sitting here may have participated in the struggle at that time, but they also witnessed the glory of the community for a while.

Even many people, maybe it is because they are chasing the touching in their hearts in the past that they have come to the world behind this star gate. And that's one of the reasons they're here right now.

But what about the outcome of that struggle?

Silence is the self-evident answer at this moment.

The former electors set off the mighty struggle with the blood in their chests, but the blood often could only support for a while, and in the long-term struggle, in the face of continuous differentiation and setbacks, the former hopes eventually turned into weakness little by little. Some of you may remember the people who cried like children after that final defeat, some chose to leave, and some fell silent.

The names of the past have also disappeared one by one.

That history fell apart, and pieces fell into the abyss of darkness.

At such a moment-

But someone punched the wooden table, and in the midst of a loud bang, he angrily exclaimed, "So what? We didn't come to this place with the intention of defeating those people completely, but should we just walk away and leave a joke for the world? ”

"Even if there are heroes on Earth, it's only Attaria," the man said loudly, "Isn't it Starlight, it's a big deal that I put my life in this place and was kicked back to the Stargate." But I also have to teach those people a lesson and get the refugees to safety—"

In the silence, people gradually began to discuss.

That's right.

And how many people have been heroes?

What people fear is not death or departure, but the loss of the meaning of self-fulfillment and need.

"It reminds me of the Battle of Mount Covenant," someone whispered, "I didn't expect that one day I would have such a moment, and if you think about it, that is what I came to this world for...... I almost forgot. ”

"yes."

"Who wouldn't want to be a glamorous person, but most people are just ordinary people."

"I thought I was chasing a dream, but in the end, it was so easy to achieve." People smiled wryly and shook their heads, "But we are not willing to be depressed, if it is just for a living, why do we come to this world?" ”

"Let's fight for it, win or lose—"

People remember Mount Covenant, and perhaps one day they will remember what happened here.

In people's heavy eyes, there was gradually a glimmer of starlight. Although they actually know in their hearts, how much attention is paid to the first world? Maybe it won't be long before people forget what happened here.

But a voice that wasn't too high rang out, gradually drowning out everyone's voices:

"Fight it, win or lose – that sounds courageous."

"But, folks, that's not all I want."

Everyone was stunned and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from. Fang Yu was standing at the wooden table, silently watching these brave people, and shook his head slightly.

There, the boy's gaze seemed to be a little calm—it seemed to be the same person he had always been, the one who boasted in front of Miss Scarpet, the one who had refused the invitation of the Witch of the Sea to go to the Second World without any means, and promised to find Sir Marvi.

He spoke, "A hundred Covenant Mountains, in fact, it doesn't mean anything. ”

"But it only takes one victory to shake something that looks indestructible on the surface......"

The crowd was silent.

There was an eerie silence in the room.

The Battle of Mount Covenant was raging in the past, but what was the result? How can they achieve what even those pioneers failed to do?

They came to this place only to make a meager sound, or rather, they were just unwilling to bow their heads easily. People need an opportunity to fight, and now that opportunity has emerged, it doesn't really matter where it will lead them.

But now the young man told them that they needed a victory?

Why don't they understand this?

It's easy to say, but the point is, how do they go about victory?

It's just that Fang Yu didn't have the slightest confusion in his eyes, he only looked at everyone with a clear gaze, and replied word by word:

"Just because people couldn't do it in the past doesn't mean we can't do it too."

"At least on this battlefield, the chance to win is always there, and I can even take this opportunity, just ......"

He paused slightly.

"I need your help—"

Fang Yuan's voice was not loud.

But it was enough to make the Momiji on the side open his mouth slightly, and looked in this direction in some incredulity.

Even Miss Nightingale looked at him a little unprepared, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in her dark eyes—she didn't care about the meaning of the words, but about the other person she seemed to have never seen before. It was a confidence she had never seen before.

No, not for nothing.

It was just that for a moment she was reminded of the memories of those fragments on Fenris Island.

That's probably why she joined the team......

Ai Xiaoxiao also dropped the wooden cup in his hand on the ground with an 'oops', and hurriedly picked it up in a panic: Is the eldest cousin an arrogant person? But she never thought so, she just thought it was a little embarrassing and cute sometimes.

Azure glanced to the left and right with some weakness, wondering if her previous prank spell had unleashed the wrong person—she reached out and poked the Paparal man's thigh in pain, causing the latter to jump three feet high with a groan.

And among all of them, only the ship's master lady supported her cheeks with her hands, raised her eyebrows, and looked in this direction thoughtfully.

After a long silence, people seemed to finally come to their senses.

The tall, thin lady frowned and asked:

"How can you help you?"

Fang Yu replied, "Unconditional trust." ”

"Unconditional trust?"

Fang Yu nodded, his gaze passing through everyone, silently staring into the dark cold wind behind the porous window.

What he had in mind at that moment was, of course, more than just a Crowclaw Temple.

That's what he's been thinking about, what did he come to this world to seek? The alliance's obstruction again and again, sheltering the vested interests to bully the weak, the history of Mount Covenant is just repeating itself in a round.

And what justice is, he actually has the answer in his heart.

He just asked himself, was he really ready?

And that would be a step he'd never really taken.

He turned his gaze back to the crowd:

"I need you to take the initiative."

"Leave Grey Owl Town and attack the army of Grey Knights stationed in the forest."

Leave the fortifications and take the initiative to attack an enemy ten times your size?

Everyone gasped, what kind of crazy idea is this?

……

In the darkness, the cold wind cut through everyone's face like a knife.

Fang Yu stood above the city, straight as a javelin, and was bowing his head, silently staring at the dark crystal in his hand.

There had been no updates in the community for several hours since the three goddesses were apparitioned, and a snowstorm seemed to obscure the sources on both sides, and everyone was speculating about what the confrontation was all about.

But there is no doubt that the garrisons of the Ravental Sanctuary in several directions of Gula Harbor have far outnumbered the strength of the ransomed and refugees in Greyowl Town at this moment.

What's more, most of the people in the community haven't gotten first-hand information about Tapolis and the support of the Free Electors—

Of course, Fang Yu didn't plan to make it public. He only raised his head, silently staring at the darkness between the sky and the earth, the bitter cold wind was sweeping the battlements with snow foam, and it was as if the light of the communication crystal in his hand was the only dark red fluorescent light in the darkness.

He listened quietly to every firm, indifferent goodbye that came from the crystal.

It was the valiant warriors, who were exchanging cherishes at the last moment of their departure:

"Blackber," the voice of the leader of the Redeemed came from a somewhat dry and rustling voice, which was probably unaccustomed to the use of communication crystals, "As you can see, the Redeemed are ready to go—"

"I'm Momiji," and after a moment, Momiji's voice also came out of it: "I think you should have heard of me, the head of the seventh column of the Oak Knights of Tapolis, Tapolis is already in place. ”

There was a low murmur of discussion. Tapolis' name in the North is undeniable, at least until it falls apart, as it is the largest guild of free electors in the entire North. And after it was broken into pieces, instead of disappearing, it grew stronger and stronger under the leadership of the general leaders of each column, making the name even more legendary-

Among them, the seventh column led by Momiji, the third column led by Zifeiyu is particularly outstanding, and the 'Silver Coin Lady' whose name is only known but not seen, but few people have heard her name - Yugudora. Some legends say she's greedy like a dragon, others say she's one of the North's top drafters, not inferior to even the elite of the Grand Guilds.

"It turns out that she is Momiji."

"'The Magician of Hellland', the Seventh Column of Tapolis has made a name for itself under her leadership, and even I have heard some rumors about it in Elpahim."

"I just didn't expect this to be the 'Hellland's Magician', and it doesn't seem to be much older than the Dragon Alchemist."

People whispered.

Until the voice of the tall and thin lady came: "Scorching Bloom, Howling of the North Wind Adventure Troupe - Mr. Captain, I can entrust my team to you." ”

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

Then a voice came from the communication crystal.

"Sirisha, the Grey Rhino Adventure Group is ready."

"This is Amu, the former Poetic Language Free Guild has arrived at the preset position."

"Core ......"

"Grieger......

In this firm answer, Fang Yu pulled down the goggles, and a silver light was flying out from under the corners of his flying clothes, gradually blending into the night.

In the midst of that snowstorm, in a place that no one could see, the war in the north began.
