"Well, there's really nothing to prepare. I just want to remind you once again not to be negligent. After thinking about it, Zhuang Xiaoyuan didn't think of anything else that needed to be prepared.

Although there was an unexpected factor such as the hiding of the stronghold, it basically had no impact on Zhuang Xiaoyuan's plan. Because what they need to do is determined from the beginning and doesn't need to be changed at all. Now it's just one more step to find the opponent's stronghold.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best this time. After all, the other party is not a small role that can be manipulated at will. Smiling, Karina's eyes flashed with seriousness, this time, she really planned to go all out and not hide anything at all.

"Attention both sides of the tournament, both sides have arrived at their respective temporary bases and confirmed the existence of the Crystal Pillar. On the premise of protecting your own magic crystal stone pillar, please destroy the opponent's magic crystal pillar with all your might.

Now, get ready for both sides, the Red Country vs. the Orange Country Forest Regional Team Attack and Defense Battle is about to begin. The total duration of the match is three hours, and after three hours, the winner will be determined based on the damage to the magic crystal pillars of both sides.

If neither Crystal Pillar is attacked, the winner will be determined by the remnants of both sides. Now the countdown begins. 10.9...... III.II. One. The game begins. ”

As the referee's announcement was heard, the amplification effect of the amplification magic guide spread throughout the forest. This second match between the Red Country and the Orange Country has finally officially begun.

"Maddie, I'll leave it to you. If you find something wrong, let us know right away and we'll be back as soon as possible. The sound of the referee announcing the start of the game gradually disappeared in the forest, Zhuang Xiaoyuan raised his hand and put the Wang Sword in his hand on his shoulder, and made a final reminder to Maddie with a serious face.

"Leave it to me. I'm not going to let them get close to the Crystal Pillar so easily. If you can't do it, I'll be the first to warn you. Nodding in the affirmative, Maddie made her assurance.

Giving the magic crystal pillar to Maddie for protection, both Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kailina are very relieved. Because Maddie is not the kind of person who will hold on for the sake of face, and her ability can be trusted.

With Maddie here to protect the Crystal Pillar, a few enemies will never be able to hurt the Crystal Pillar. And if the number or strength of the enemy is too large for Maddie to resist, she will definitely sound the alarm at the first time.

In fact, among the three of Zhuang Xiaoyuan, both Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kailina are the kind of people who are very suitable for acting alone and prefer to fight alone. Although it can't be said that there is no team fighting spirit at all, compared to Maddie, the two of them are indeed far behind.

For Maddie, personal strength, personal honor and disgrace do not matter at all. As long as the team can win, whatever it is, Maddie can do it. Even if it is to give up his comrades-in-arms and abandon the car to protect the handsome.

So, out of these three, if you classify them according to positioning. Zhuang Xiaoyuan can be used as the backbone and the brains of the three-person team. Karina is a proper executor, and she can also do the work of filling in the gaps. And Maddie is the commander in chief during the battle, and the last guarantee.

Because, among the three of them, only Maddie has the courage to break when he is decided, and the absolute sanity of a strong man to break his wrist. can 100% and resolutely implement the strategy set by Zhuang Xiaoyuan without any human feelings.

In this regard, Zhuang Xiaoyuan really had to be convinced. Even if he has experienced the end of the world, even if he has left his mark in several worlds, even if he has experienced several time and space journeys, Zhuang Xiaoyuan cannot make this kind of decision to abandon his comrades.

For Zhuang Xiaoyuan, sometimes victory or defeat can be given up, and the world can also give up. But the people who are recognized by her are absolutely impossible to give up. The experience of world travel did not make Zhuang Xiaoyuan completely rational and absolutely decisive. On the contrary, it made her cherish friendship, family affection, and family and friends more.

And Maddie is the exact opposite type of Zhuang Xiaoyuan, although she also cherishes friendship and family affection. Although the same importance is attached to relatives and friends. However, in the face of true righteousness, when public and private affairs are placed at opposite ends of the scale, Maddie's choice will not be individual, but collective.

So, although they are also called as brave men, Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Maddie are completely different types. Maddie is the kind of natural partner for justice, but Zhuang Xiaoyuan is definitely not the kind of person who implements justice.

If necessary, if it is for the people he cares about, maybe Zhuang Xiaoyuan will become the kind of unscrupulous villain at some point.

Zhuang Xiaoyuan himself has absolutely no position of righteousness or evil. Perhaps because of the education and morality of human beings themselves, Zhuang Xiaoyuan showed a good side in ordinary times.

However, that's just because there has not been anything that touches Zhuang Xiaoyuan's bottom line, if it really touches some kind of bottom line. Zhuang Xiaoyuan will never mind using any non-positive means to achieve his own goals, even if such behavior will destroy the world.

Of course, although the personality concepts are different, this does not prevent Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the three of them from cooperating with each other. After all, they now have the same goal, which is to win the battle for the crown, the legendary crystal crown.

"Well, I'll go first. If something happens, remember to say hello in advance. Receiving Maddy's assurance, Karina nodded in satisfaction, summoned her own mount, the unicorn, and was the first to leave her own defensive stronghold. Without looking back, he rushed into the forest.

"I'm gone, too." Seeing Karina's back disappearing in the forest with the unicorn, Zhuang Xiaoyuan also waved his hand to Maddie casually, and entered the forest in the opposite direction from Karina.

"It's all gone, and who will be the first one to come next?" It wasn't until Zhuang Xiaoyuan's figure completely disappeared into the forest that Maddie withdrew her gaze, lifted the thick shield stuck in the ground, and turned around and came to the magic crystal pillar.

Casually patting the steps next to the Magic Crystal Pillar, brushing away the dust and yellow mud on them, Maddie sat down on the steps, looking up at the sky, leisurely looking forward to the opponents who might appear later.

When Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others had dispersed according to the original plan, Maddie left behind to protect the magic crystal pillar, and Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Kailina entered the forest to start searching for each other's magic crystal pillars, and the orange country on the other side also started its own actions.

Seven Warriors were left behind to guard the Crystal Pillars, while Ulrike and Kramy, who were Heroes, also scattered and disappeared into the forest, beginning to search for the stronghold of the Red Nation.
