Chapter 312 The Tranquility Before the Storm

……

Five days later.

The busyness in the Crownless City has temporarily come to an end, and the exploration of the underground waterway and the area outside the city has been completed.

A total of 261 similar magical beacon devices have been excavated by the alliance forces in the underground waterway. The area at a depth of 500 meters underground in the city has been explored almost everywhere. .

From the results, the number of this part is very small.

At the same time, although the exploration outside the city has a vast area, after the target is placed on a huge ancient magic weapon, it needs to be detected only once after a long distance, and all tasks have been completed today.

And the result is——

No.

No ancient magic weapons were found.

When the news came back, Ryan summoned everyone immediately.This time, not only the alliances of various forces, but also the adventurer union, major churches and knight orders, as well as influential craftsmen who did not join the craftsman union also participated, which was more than any previous courtyard meeting. .

But the atmosphere during the meeting was not optimistic.

In the past two days, the surrounding areas were explored almost the same. At first, everyone was relieved. At least the magical weapons were not so close to the city, and they were not buried in their own territory like the Dragon Clan.But as we explored further, things gradually began to develop to the other extreme——

Artisans will disappear.

Together with ancient magic weapons.

"How can it disappear?"

"The weapons of the Hooffire Empire are almost half the size of the alert mountain. Our detection distance is already much smaller than this volume, so it is impossible to miss it."

"Then where else can they hide?"

"..."

In addition to detecting the magic reaction, all the camps of the legion are also actively preparing for the battle these days, but now the enemy has disappeared from under their noses.

Many power lords had worried expressions on their faces.

Not knowing where the enemy is is the most terrifying problem.

"Could it be...they gave up on occupying the Crownless City?"

After the voice came out, the scene was a little silent for a while, and many lords looked at Ryan, always feeling that he spoke very little in today's meeting, and hardly spoke much.

Looking to the other side, it was clearly next to the main seat, and the vacant bench proved its absence.According to the information, the unpredictable guy has been accompanying his girl who looks easy to bully around Wuguan City for the past five days, although the inexplicable healing ability has indeed helped a lot.But observing from the side, I always feel that the help of these two people is just an excuse, and shopping seems to be their main purpose...

I might not know which street I am having fun with right now.

The most frequently heard line from the information is "la la la la la ~"

At this time, a craftsman stood up.

"If the craftsman will escape, what shall we do next?"

The participants thought for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning behind the words - if the craftsmen would no longer show up for some reason, the biggest trouble would be inside the city without a crown.

The Lion Garden Army is still occupying Wuguan City.

Is Ryan worried about this?
Up to now, with the failure of the war started by the Hooffire Empire, Marcus has been wanted all over the world, and the Hooffire Empire has already withdrawn from the alliance.And the Lion Garden side didn't have much contact with them in the first place, and after occupying Wuguan City, they didn't have any obvious voices, and all communication relied on tacit understanding.

But this is a problem that has to be faced. If the craftsmen will no longer pose a threat in the short term, how to take back the city from the lion garden will become the top priority.

"We can't wait like this!"

Another craftsman stood up.

"Nowadays, there are more and more people who support the rule of Lion Garden. We must shift our strategic direction as soon as possible, otherwise, every day that passes, the possibility of us taking back the city becomes smaller!"

Many craftsmen bowed their heads after hearing this.

At this time, they don't even have the identity to talk to Shiyuan, but they are just a group of refugees left behind after the fall of the ruling government.

"If the results of the detection are correct and the artisans are indeed hiding, I... think this matter can be planned early."

"It's time to find a way to talk to Lion Garden first."

"I think so……"

"..."

The craftsmen didn't have much contact with politics, but they also knew very well that if the situation was allowed to drag on like this, they would really lose the city they were so proud of.

As more and more craftsmen spoke, Ryan stood up from his chair and walked out holding the hilt of his sword.

It seems to be a decision.

But surprisingly, he didn't go to the middle, but pressed the hilt of his sword all the way to the craftsman who said he wanted to "shift the strategic direction".

"Is this your purpose?" Ryan said.

"What, what?" The man was stunned for a moment, then looked around, "This city was originally ours, so what's wrong with speaking on behalf of craftsmen?"

Ryan sighed silently.

You fell for Luo Wei's tricks - he wanted to say that, but his best friend didn't want to share these things, sometimes he really wanted to complain about him.

Ryan pressed his sword and looked at the other party, "I don't think you represent a craftsman, but a craftsman's association."

"...What nonsense are you talking about? I've never..."

Between the lightning and the flint, Ryan drew his sword and slashed down without hesitation, but avoided the fatal part.

Blood splattered, and the man fell back in horror, but halfway his pupils suddenly shrank into a small spot, his skin suddenly turned gray, and a sharp horn poked out of his forehead.

The crowd who hadn't reacted from the situation were shocked.

Black flame body! ?

It was the first time for the people present to see the actual situation recorded in the materials of the Craftsman Association, but...how did Ryan know! ?

"Why...don't you just die obediently!"

Swah——

Facing the roar of the opponent who was about to lose his mind.

This time, Ryan didn't hold back.

He turned around with the sword in his hand, with the resonance device that Luo Wei lent him in his arms, and let the opponent reveal his purpose before making a move. I have to say that this move is really beautiful.

It seems that he is still far away.

"You have also seen his purpose, what can this explain, I believe I don't need to explain more."

Everyone froze for a moment.

Direct attention to the interior of the city.

Do you want them to fight each other?
"The Artisan Association did not escape, on the contrary, they are actively planning all this." Ryan said seriously.

This is not a brilliant skill, but without the props that Rowe lent him, it would be difficult to tell whether it was for the sake of the craftsman or something else from the dialogue alone.And now, Ryan has been waiting for the man with the black line to speak from the beginning.

It turns out that this is the feeling of playing with others.

Although Ryan felt that this feeling wasn't bad, he didn't plan to continue trying, feeling that he couldn't learn it...

But there is no doubt that the artisans will definitely plan to take advantage of the chaos to do something by taking advantage of the situation where the Lion Garden occupies Wuguan City and stir up their internal relations.

"It's a bit cunning to take advantage of the restless mood of the craftsmen and speak for them," Elufa said.

The craftsmen around expressed their shame, but it was not impossible to understand their feelings.

However, now, as long as the Artisan Association does not really disappear, the relationship with the Lion Garden will not be so urgent. In the next battle, if the value of the artisans to the city can be proved and the city system is gradually established, things will not be completely impossible. turnaround.

"Sorry... I was almost taken advantage of easily."

"Thank you for being able to see through his identity, Ryan."

It's not my fault.

Ryan watched the crowd regain their firmness after this, and his eyes became bright like torches.

"Then it's pretty clear what we're going to do—"

He looked at the crowd and returned to his usual demeanor.

"Expand the scope of the search and be sure to find them."

……

When the news reached the Sky Wings, Luo Wei and his party were having lunch with the fifth princess in the dining room.

"Understood." Lovely wiped his mouth and got up, "This judgment is correct, let's carry it out like this."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at someone in front of the chief seat, "You're really calm."

Luo Wei shrugged helplessly.

He originally planned to let Ryan handle it by himself, but Ryan came over two days ago and insisted on pestering him, saying, "I used my plan last time, it's time to use yours this time." Luo Wei didn't even bother to complain.

As the protagonist, why do you keep using your perseverance on me...

But since it is going to be done, it is not only as simple as resolving it, it would be a pity not to use it in turn.

In this way, it will be difficult for the artisans to take advantage of the Lion Garden to split the alliance. There was an experience of being almost fooled once, and the artisans will not be so easily shaken.

"However, Your Royal Highness, there is one thing that we don't quite understand," said Yingsu's messenger, "Why do we just need to expand the search range?"

From the perspective of feasibility, whether it is transferred back to the ruins of the God War, or ambushed in the sky, or even if there is the power of the gods, it is not impossible to store the weapons in another space, right?

"Because other conditions have been ruled out by us in advance."

Lovely replied indifferently.

Naturally, they will not wait until the news is completely settled before taking action. After the detection of most areas failed two days ago, including Ryan from the Alliance's side who came to Rowe, they are already preparing for the future.

The sky has been confirmed by the Lan Temple and the Dragon Clan; in terms of space, in the past two days, Ayining has turned around the surrounding area with Lu Yi, but there is no sign of space.

As for the ruins of God War...

Luo Wei and the others went there in person yesterday, and the sacrifices in the mine had been drained. Although there is still a way to go, as long as the artisans need to attack the city without a crown, they will not continue to hide.

Deliberately causing civil strife at this node also shows that the artisans will act immediately.

Vermier bowed her head and silently ate the chicken sausage on the plate. Compared to other people, she had a lot of fun these days... no, she had a lot of fun on the tour!Afterwards, he did not continue to be attacked, and he visited Wuguan City every day.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your answer," the people from Yingsu lowered their heads without asking any further questions, and said, "Do you have anything else that we need to bring to other forces?"

Lovely glanced at Luo Wei.

The latter pursed his lips, saying that it is good for you to make up your mind, and there is no need to ask my opinion.

Lovely turned his eyes back in disdain, and looked at the emissary of Yingsu.

"Tell them, and all the forces that can be conveyed—"

She stood at the table and said calmly.

"Prepare for war with the craftsmen."

……

In a dark stone hall.

"Damn it! Why did they have the ability to identify the black flame body, but they didn't show it until now!"

Zorman slammed the information in his hand angrily. Doesn't this mean that the other party has seen through their plan long ago and dared not admit it until now!
"It's okay."

At a distance of several hundred meters, at the end of the winding and rugged passage, the white figure surrounded by thorny metal turned its back and looked upward.

"The failure of your impromptu plan doesn't affect anything, it shows that the other party has already been prepared for us."

"Master Icarus..."

The white-haired girl turned around slowly, without any emotional change in her expression, she stretched out her hand and squeezed out a blurry ball of light.

Among them, the connection status of various beacons is jumping.

"Even if we have long since given up the layout of the underground waterway, they still regard it as a key point, as if they can predict behavior."

"That's..." Zorman bowed his head in shame.

Icarus looked at the ball of light in his hand indifferently.

"In any case, the time is approaching, even if limited by the power supply of magical weapons, I will fulfill my duties as a goddess of mechanics."

She waved away the strength in her hand and turned her back again.

"Most definitely."

……

night.

The clouds in the sky were very thick, and it looked like another heavy rain was coming.

Rowe stood on the edge of the battleship deck, silently staring at the [-]-meter altitude below.Now that it is decided to expand the scope of the search, whether to prove it or not, there must be an answer soon.

Hearing the sound of light footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw that the other party didn't bring any attendants, he curled his lips and knelt down on one knee.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Lovely came closer and asked.

"……Why do you say that."

"Because the current situation is very similar to last time," Lovely said, looking down at him, "when the situation develops naturally, are you planning to do something unexpected?"

"Then you think too highly of me," Luo Wei said sarcastically, "This time it's not just the beast tide, all countries and forces are involved, and it also involves issues related to the war of gods."

"As long as you know."

Lovely raised her eyes to signal him to get up.

But he continued to speak: "The miscellaneous fish should correct their mentality. If they do something without authorization and die casually, it would be a ridiculous laugh."

Luo Wei: "..."

Lovely folded her arms and turned sideways.

"Quickly, describe the situation below to my princess."

"How about I bring up a chair for you to see for yourself?"

"Bold, are you saying that my princess is not tall enough? Oh, I see, you want to be treated like a chair, right?"

Luo Wei sighed, intending to find something to perfuse her, but began to hear some kind of voice.

rumble rumble rumble...

"What sound?" Lovely frowned. "Sounds like the north?"

The roar could be heard on the battleship, Luo Wei steadied the kid beside him, and squinted to look further north on the Broken Ridge Plateau where the Lan Temple is located.

The clouds were broken by some kind of force, and there, covered with white snow, the towering holy snow waterfall mountain was collapsing.

Instead.

It was a metallic roar that shook the night sky.

"Om————! ! 』

An extreme ray of light soared into the sky, a huge mechanical body broke out from under the snow-capped mountains, the earth split in four or five, and the cracks spread from the broken ridge plateau all the way to the outskirts of Wuguan City.

In the entire surrounding area, earthquakes began continuously.

The goddess of mechanics, Icarus, descended above the ancient magic weapon, and looked indifferently at the cracked snow field in the south.

"let's start--"

"Go to the city without a crown."
