The goal of this mission is to rescue the merchant Johnston and his family, and it is the Lopwen army that has made the Johnston family prisoners, and it seems that the execution order signed by the city lord himself is the execution order......

What is it like to face a boss who is theoretically the commander in chief of the enemy's three armed forces?

Not to mention that Julian was planning to take them to infiltrate the fallen city of Naua, and I really didn't know how the Light of the Stars got in touch with him.

And this kind of operation?

Looking at the surprised expressions of the Seven Killing Stars and Ann Yizhi, Julian turned to Tianji Star and said:

"It seems that Miss Dimensity didn't tell the team who I am?"

"To be on the safe side, the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Only before the task is completed......

Adding such a sentence in his heart, Tianji Star replied.

As the saying goes, the heart is separated from the belly, and this matter is far from being as clear as it seems.

"It seems that the light of the stars is indeed worth working with."

Then Julian turned around and said:

"Although you don't know me, the names of the two are like thunder."

He looked at Ann and pointed at the symbol on his forehead to be exact:

"The master alchemist Nikolai. Meyer's new apprentice, Mr. Ann Ichchi, your story has spread almost throughout the multiverse. ”

Although it doesn't necessarily have a good reputation......

"Of course, Mr. Seven Killing Star, the new apprentice of the Mystic Sage, your name is also thunderous."

Seven Killing Star really wants to ask whether he is famous or An Yizhi is more famous, this thing really doesn't want to compare with An Yizhi all the time. But considering that it would be very difficult for the other party to ask such a question, he didn't open his mouth.

"You two must wonder why I'm here as a facilitator, right?"

The two nodded, and the Seven Killing Stars said:

"If the rumors are correct, it was you who personally declared the war, and you personally signed the Johnston family's execution papers, and the Magical Melody Guild was established with your nod and consent."

"You've heard the rumors right, Mr. Seven Killings."

Julian smiled.

Ann pinched his chin with one finger, and he said:

"Personally..... but not voluntarily, right?"

Julian was stunned, and then returned to normal:

"It is rumored that Mr. An is quick and witty, and it is true."

It's not hard to guess that since Julian, as the lord of Lopven, appeared here to meet secretly with several people, this in itself speaks to a fact.

For example, this city lord is probably only a nominal city lord, and has almost no real power.

If he is really the kind of city lord with real power in his hands, he can't cooperate with the light of the stars at all, and he just wants to save the Johnston family and let it go, why bother going around such a big circle, avoiding people's eyes and acting secretly.

Of course, there are also factors that are forced to compromise under the pressure of public opinion, but in that case, he only needs to send someone to meet with the light of the stars, and he can't risk himself to come in person.

So it seems that Julian. Luo Puwen was very miserable as the city lord, and even worse than the missing city lord of Yamen City, not only was his rights completely wiped out, but he didn't even have a few credible subordinates.

From a sentence, a little clue to restore the original appearance of things, this is the field that An Yizhi is good at, and the only thing he is better at than this aspect is to scrape......

- After all, scrape the ground and peel the skin.

Seven Killing Stars is not a dull person, and listening to An Yi's finger and twist and turn, he immediately understood what was going on.

It can be said that all the people present are smart people, and they all know that Julian is a puppet city lord with no real power, but everyone pretends to be confused, and it is not polite to call it directly.

But Julian himself didn't care, saying:

"My family has gone downhill since my grandfather's generation, and by the time I accepted the position of city lord, I had no real power."

For Julian's family, who single-handedly established the city of Lopvan, this was simply a great shame, but he himself thought about it and said unabashedly:

"Almost all rights are held by parliament, and I'm just a mascot."

He smiled and said:

"There's nothing wrong with being a mascot, you don't have to worry about my mood."

Is Julian really willing to be a mascot?

Not necessarily.

Since he has teamed up with the Light of the Stars and participated in the rescue of the Johnston family, he must have gained some benefits from it, otherwise he would not have been able to act.

As he himself said, peace of mind is a mascot.

Ann pointed out Sirius's plan, trying to find something that would make Julian profitable, but it didn't seem to be profitable.

Johnston's family fled, and even if the Lopwen army lost the city of Naua, it still damaged his reputation as the city lord, which is why the council did not simply abolish the position of city lord, they needed a scapegoat when the situation was unfavorable.

So, is there any benefit to helping outsiders dig their own corners?

An Yizhi couldn't think of it for the time being, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, as long as he was careful not to be sold, the rest of the light of the stars was naturally responsible for worrying, he just wanted to be a thug this time.

"Lord Julian, let's get down to business."

Now that they have known each other, Tianji Xing said:

"Why did you say things had changed?"

Before Ann Yizhi and Seven Killers entered the door, Dimensity had a brief conversation with Julian.

"There have indeed been some changes, but they are still in Mr. Skywolf's expectations."

Julian explains:

"Initially, it was thought that only a small number of Lopwen soldiers and members of Magic Melody were hindering the operation, but the council was reluctant to hand over Naua's city to the Magic Melody Guild, they wanted Magic Melody to continue to be a big stick in their hands, not a beast that could bite themselves, so the army that had planned to withdraw from Naua is still stationed on the city walls, and a reinforcement of 12,000 men is on the way to Naua, which is expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon."

To put it simply, after the capture of Naua, the agreed conditions were to be handed over to the Magic Melody Guild as a station, and with the addition of another town that had already been captured by them, the power of the magic melody was unprecedentedly expanded.

However, the Lopwen Council did not want the Players' Guild to grow bigger, so they reversed course and not only did not withdraw the army, but instead sent additional defenders.

This means that Naua's city is not now a system-recognized player guild location, but is still an NPC city.

Don't underestimate this difference, the difference in nature will lead to a big difference, at least the Magic Melody Guild higher-ups can't use the residency function to arm and improve Naua, which will help rescue the Johnston family.

But the Lopwen army did not evacuate, which means that An Yi pointed out that they are likely to clash head-on with the regular army!

That's not a good thing.

Don't look at the last dungeon in which three players plus Fast dared to break into the barracks of 2,000 people, in fact, it was very difficult for people to win the day, and Apple Tea was chased all over the ground. If it weren't for An Yizhi's skeleton that attracted the attention of the vast majority of the troops, the two of them might have been surrounded by the army and chopped up.

The combat power of these two people also belongs to the upper echelon among the players, and even they are so embarrassed, let alone other players. Moreover, the number of Lopwen troops stationed in Naua's city is far more than 2,000 people, and the scale is not of an order of magnitude.

"The good news is that there are traces of the two sons of the Lionheart in the southwest, and the council is worried that their prestige will cause instability in the vicinity of Naua, so they have transferred the Wyvern Knights to clean it up, without worrying about how they will affect the plan."

One city of Naua is not all, there are many villages and towns around, and the prestige of King Lionheart is very high, if his son recruits troops in the name of King Lionheart, it is enough to make the city of Naua unstable, and maybe they will seize the opportunity to take back the city of Naua.

The Lopwen Council will not let go easily, the geographical location of Naua's city is too important, not only an important transportation hub for land trade routes, but also the gateway to the entire Sadmir region. If anyone can easily give up such a feng shui treasure, it is called unscientific.

This is a big reason why the Council has backtracked against the Magical Melody Guild.

"So, are you going to use a backup plan?"

Tianji Xing muttered, then looked at An Yi, who nodded in understanding.

In fact, Sirius had already anticipated that this might happen, after all, the value of Naua's city was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.

The backup plan in this case has not changed much, mainly because some people are attacking outside the city to attract the attention of the city defense army, and most of the other members are saving people as originally planned.

The only problem is that the person in charge of attracting attention must be strong enough and make a big enough noise, otherwise not only will it fail to attract attention, but it will also lead to the meat bun beating the dog and no return, and all the members involved in the project are in danger of being wiped out.

However, this is not a problem for An Yizhi, he has the Book of the Dead, and this item alone is enough to be qualified for this position.

Sirius is not wronged, 2,000 yuan must be worth the money, not only in the original plan An Yizhi is a strong reinforcement, in the backup plan, An Yizhi is also an insurance.

"Is Mr. An in charge of luring the enemy?"

Julian showed a regretful expression:

"It's a pity that I don't have the slightest fighting power, and I really want to see how amazing the famous Book of the Dead really is."

An Yizhi pointed out that he had the Book of the Dead in his hand, and he really couldn't hide the fact that he had a bit of power, and even Julian, the mascot city lord, had heard of it.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom and contained a bundle of slender golden metal rods the size of chopsticks. One jumped out of it and handed it to Ann:

"Mr. Ahn, you can use this item at the beginning of the operation, and it will teleport you outside of Naua."

[Master, that's a space beacon, there should be a main operating staff]

Through a psychic connection, Hela reminded silently.

Space Beacon (Vice)

Attribute: Consumable

Effect: Teleports the wielder to a designated area, which can only be used once.

Description: After activation, it is equivalent to the effect of fixed-point teleportation, and cannot be teleported across borders, with a maximum teleportation distance of 100 km.

Looking at the attributes of the item, An Yizhi replied to Hela in his heart:

What is the main operating staff? 】

[The space beacon is similar to the principle of magnetizing the sewing needle, the metal rod is just an ordinary metal rod, and only by 'magnetizing' it with the main operating rod can it be transmitted, and the main operating staff has the right to control all secondary beacons]

In this way, is it necessary to be careful that the other party may cause harm?

"Thank you Lord Julian, then I will be disrespectful."

Looking at Julian's smile, Ann put away the space beacon with one finger, secretly wary of it in his heart.
