930 The place to be fought
Although the Border City is nominally controlled by the apostles, in fact the Longhua Empire, the Maurya Dynasty, and the Pan-American Alliance all intend to seize this place, and the Spirit Race may also intervene in the battle for the Border City.The practical significance of the border city as a magical fortress is far less important than its current symbolic significance.

As the aftermath of mana dissipated, a group of people suddenly appeared on the magic teleportation array in the border city.The surrounding military mages who were in charge of guarding the teleportation array immediately surrounded several people in the teleportation array.However, the two people in the middle of the teleportation array were still arguing non-stop at this moment.

"Master, please listen to my explanation..."

"Explain what, explain... Do you want to say that the situation was not allowed at the time, or tell me that this is actually an order from Ayumi?"

The two who were arguing were Bu Fan and Ran Qing. Originally, Bu Fan planned to come to the border city alone.Unexpectedly, except for some circumstances when capturing the teleportation array, Ran Qing and the others eventually followed to the border city.

"Who are you guys?" The military mage looked at Bu Fan and his party with a surprised expression on his face.The few people in front of them obviously had just experienced battle, and some of them were still wounded. "This is the border city of the Longhua Empire. Who are you and why are you here?"

In the end, the military mage's interrogation of everyone indirectly calmed down the dispute between the two.Ran Qing looked around vigilantly. Although she knew this was a border city, she knew nothing about the situation here.

"My name is Bu Fan, and I'm a member of the apostles..." Bu Fan was calm and composed, and even reported his family name in a well-behaved manner.The guards were taken aback for a moment, and then they all showed surprised expressions. As a Longhua native, they were both familiar and unfamiliar to Bu Fan. "I'm here to find Old Master Shi...to take over Border City."

Bu Fan's sudden arrival caused commotion, not only because of people's curiosity about Bu Fan, but also because of the close relationship between Border City and Bu Fan.You must know that before Shi Kai ruled the southwestern border, this area had always been under the jurisdiction of Bu Tingni, and at the same time, the construction of the border city could also be said to be facilitated by Bu Fan.

After Xu You and Shi Kai heard the news, they quickly rushed over with their people.Shi Kai and Bu Fan can be regarded as long-forgotten friends, and the two haven't seen each other for many years, so they can't be very affectionate when they meet.Xu You on the side kept a straight face, turning his head to look at Ran Qing and the others from time to time.

"Grandpa, didn't brother Gao come with you?"

When Bu Fan saw Shi Kai's other disciples, he couldn't help thinking of Gao Qiang.Shi Kai sighed with emotion, and said to Bu Fan with a smile all over his face: "Ruirui is here again, and that bastard is at home serving his wife."

Hearing the news, Bu Fan was overjoyed, and then briefly asked about Gao Qiang's recent situation.Shi Kai brought his daughter and son-in-law with a word, but instead boasted about their fat grandson, Bu Fan had to accompany him all the way with a perfunctory smile.

The layout of the border city was the same as back then, and the group soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.Bu Fan troubled Shi Kai to arrange for Ran Qing and others to recuperate, and then several persons in charge entered the conference room, and it was time to discuss how to solve the following matters.

"Now outside the border city is the army of the Longhua Empire, and because of some concerns of His Majesty Long Yu... when the border city is attacked from behind, it is far weaker than facing the enemy head-on." Shi Kai created the magic fortress of the border city by himself. For those of you, you can't help but sigh when you talk about the only weakness of this border city.

Although it is a pity that the border city's unknown flaws, at that time only such a compromise could be exchanged for the opportunity to build a border city.Bu Fan knew these things very well at the time, and Shi Kai mentioned it again at this time to remind him that the situation was critical.

"The most troublesome thing now is the army of the Longhua Empire outside the city." After Bu Fan had a certain understanding of the current situation of the border city, Xu Youcai took over and continued to add: "There are the Pan-American Alliance and the Peacock Dynasty in the west, and the Spirit Race also It is very likely to intervene, and the border city can be said to be a place of contention."

Although the border city has its importance, it is obviously because of its current representativeness that it can become a place of contention.

First of all, the area where the border city is located is the inherent territory of the Longhua Empire, so the Longhua Empire must not allow any losses here; moreover, the Maurya Dynasty has always had the ambition to expand outward, and now not only has the Pan-American Alliance as foreign aid, but also coincides with Longhua The turmoil on the southwestern border of the empire is exactly the time for it to attack the Longhua Empire.Finally, the army of the Pan-American Alliance stationed in the eastern province of the Mauryan Dynasty, the army that first provoked the war, is now on the sidelines.

To sum up, if the apostles want to control the border city, they must solve the Longhua Empire, the Maurya Dynasty, and the Pan-American Alliance.As for the apostle before he intervened, the apostle does not need to worry about this for the time being.

"From what I said before, I'm a little curious...why didn't the army of the Longhua Empire attack the border city?"

Regarding the question raised by Bu Fan, I am afraid that only the army commander outside the city can answer it.However, since the other party didn't have a few wars, it was presumably either to preserve the border city, or there was something hidden in it. "I think it's better if we go out of the city to find out what's going on?"

"There's no need to find out, it's Wu Shan and his son Liu Ping who command the army outside..."

What everyone didn't expect was that Shi Kai already knew who was in command of the army at his doorstep.Bu Fan was taken aback when he heard the news, he didn't expect that it was an acquaintance who seized the weakness of Border City. "Since Wu Ping is outside, I think this matter can be perfectly resolved without bloodshed."

Liu Ping, whose alias was Wu Ping back then, was a roommate who lived and ate with Bu Fan. The relationship between the two can be said to be very close.It's just that the two have been in different situations many years later, and Bu Fan is not sure how much of the relationship they had back then is left now.

Bu Fan immediately said that he needed to go out of the city, and everyone didn't make much sense about it, after all, this was one of the most ideal solutions.Only Xu You has a different opinion on this. He thinks that Bu Fan should not take risks at this time.

Xu You seemed to be able to glimpse into Bu Fan's heart, knowing that the last period of time was very important to Bu Fan.If any accident happens to Bufan at this time, his plan concerning the entire Central Realm will be forced to abort.Although Bu Fan himself didn't want to admit it, but at this time, Bu Fan couldn't afford to gamble.

"Don't worry, there will be no danger, besides..." Seeing Xu You's firm attitude, Bu Fan had no choice but to turn his head and look at Shi Kai.The old master nodded for a moment, and then Bu Fan said to Xu You: "The old man will go with me at that time, and you can also be ready to respond at any time. I think this can be done."
