[I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't run away... so I can only find a sense of security in the live streaming room.]
Is this for real...? Which of these two is the real one...?
[Haha, I've slapped myself now.]
"Then it must be real on my end, why are you guys using question marks?"
Blank Man: [That's a bit of a foul, isn't it? Is that fair?]
Li Ji looked at the SC he received, clicked his tongue, and pretended not to understand, greeting Marna:
"Tsk tsk, alright then, Marna is back in the team. You should have just said you had the title of Arena Knight earlier. Two of us against four of you, is that fair?"
But it was this one question, "Isn't this fair?", that made the previously mysterious Blank Name suddenly fall silent, not even uttering a question mark.
This put Li Ji in a rather awkward position, making it seem as if he was the one bullying someone.
"No, Old Deng, why aren't you saying anything? Hurry up and say something! The three of us can't take on the four of you? Fine, Viviana, you should also step back. It seems a bit bullying for you to be the one genuinely exposing the fake."
Seeing this, the blank account was speechless.
He wanted to speak, but he genuinely didn't know what to say.
He was originally quite confident that he would give each of the knights a piece of his collection, just so that he could keep Li Ji at the entrance of the rift from the very beginning.
But this situation seems... not quite right!
The Radiant Knight was still within his understanding, since what interested him was the matter of the Radiant Knight.
But where did the Black Knight and Marna come from?
What about Shining Light? What about Whipblade Knight? What about Flametail Knight?
Shouldn't these be the people who come out?
By the way, aren't the Black Knight and Marna a bit too advanced?
At this moment, he felt like he had missed watching several episodes, causing the story to no longer match the original plot.
Marna is one thing, but she did make an appearance and interacted with Shining and others from Rhodes Island, so she might have secretly joined later.
But where did he find this Black Knight?
No shame!
This drama has absolutely no tension whatsoever...
Even with the four of them combined, they couldn't even get a runner-up.
The two people next door have five championships.
What champion are you? And what champions are they?
Hmm... But if you think about it this way, to be honest, the dramatic aspect is off the charts... What a load of rubbish!
At this moment, the blank account could only remain silent. These two were already the pinnacle of competitive knights, and no matter what, they could never surpass them.
The words "Cavaliers vs. Cavaliers" are used to describe the showdown.
It was over the moment the Black Knight and the Radiant Knight appeared.
……
Looking at the still silent, blank account.
Now only the four knight actors awkwardly remain in the shadows below.
The actor playing one of the Four Horsemen: "Heh. Can we make peace?"
"I've already called for reconciliation? At this very moment? Dude, you're not kidding, are you?"
This amused Li Ji. The other party was clearly different from most of the delirious puppets in the rifts; he could actually say something like reconciliation.
If he weren't in such a hurry, Li Ji would have liked to arrest them and have a good talk with them.
"Can it be resolved in three minutes?"
He asked the two knights beside him.
"Although there are still limitations like templates, it's enough as long as it can be moved around freely."
"It's more accurate to say that 'three minutes' is a bit of an underestimation of the two of us. You guys go first, we'll come find you after we've dealt with this."
After receiving affirmative answers from the two men, Li Ji felt relieved and led his men to retreat from the other side of the crevice entrance.
All they can do now is race against time!
"Prioritize aiding civilians; all collectibles that can be retrieved will be recovered, and individuals are allowed to distribute them as they see fit!"
Chapter 43: The Announcer
Gaul, Antioch.
An unsettling dark light flickered across the sky, and a blinding bolt of lightning ripped through the night, like a giant blade wielded by a god, tearing the heavens in two.
Following closely behind was a deafening thunderclap, the sound like a thousand war drums beating simultaneously. The thunderstorm was like an enraged giant, wielding a giant hammer of lightning, and wantonly smashing the earth.
The electricity in the street even formed a raging river of electricity under this constant bombardment, devouring all life on the street.
Even the trees along the roadside were burned to ashes in the lightning and thunder.
Even if the house is shaken and rubble is flying everywhere after being struck by lightning, it is only a superficial injury caused by the aftershocks.
The stranger's control over the range of his skills was extremely precise; not even the slightest error was observed.
"Enemy units are being cleared out. The current strength is normal, and no obvious obstacles have been observed."
Wearing sunglasses, the stranger strolled leisurely, watching the earth swept by lightning, smelling the faint stench emanating from the air scorched by the lightning, and casually sent out a message through the communication system.
"The Warlock Cleanup Team operators, including Alien and Chengshan, have taken control of Antioch and recovered the collectibles [Rusty Blade - Individual], [Diffusion Hand], and [Accumulation Hand]... Alien requests permission to evacuate the other operators."
They are currently in the Antioch region of Gaul, which is also the point of convergence of the "herd response" of the fissure.
As this is the main area where monsters spawn, a clearing team consisting of two people is formed. One person is responsible for clearing the nearby monsters, while the other is responsible for clearing the monsters that the strangers missed in the distance.
At this moment, Yike and Chengshan are standing on the high tower of Savis Shopping Center, keeping a close eye on the "refresh point" every move.
"Dear citizens, please remember that if you leave your homes in Antioch, your safety will no longer be guaranteed. We reiterate, please do not go out on the streets."
The stranger delivered his final announcement to the entire Antioch district via the radio station in the Savas shopping center, speaking fluent Gaulish.
After that, another barrage of attacks ensued.
"The Hand of Spread is such a perfect piece for you, Mr. Elliott. The Brilliant Fragments can be released seamlessly... I feel that this is the level you should be at normally, Mr. Elliott."
Cheng Shan secretly glanced at the strange guest who looked like Thor reincarnated, and his eyes seemed to brighten a little.
Although Mr. Elliott usually doesn't say it, she knows best that for the person in front of her... the Chain Sorcerer template is actually hindering his performance as a war machine.
If it weren't for the problem with this Chain Warlock template, Mr. Elliott might have been able to solve the Antioch problem all by himself.
"That's great, I also want to find a collectible that suits me."
Of course, I'm envious.
Ke Chengshan did not slacken his control over the floating units at all.
Although the stranger's announcement was made to all civilians, the enemy was not deaf.
They could also hear the announcements from the loudspeakers and various advertising spaces, and they all moved into the building to avoid the thunderstorm. However, once they entered the building, the aliens' abilities were somewhat restricted.
This is one of the main reasons why, despite the request from the stranger to evacuate everyone else, Cheng Shan was not allowed to leave.
Because after the enemy took refuge in the building, it was Chengshan's floating units that made their dazzling appearance.
The floating units controlled by Cheng Shan are able to accurately strike enemies inside buildings, thus fulfilling the basic requirements of the elimination mission.
Soon, news also came back from Li Ji's side:
"Received. Evacuation is permitted. Keep Cheng Shan informed of our movements and ensure our safety."
……
Li Ji is about to arrive at the area where the playwright is active, and good news from various neighborhoods is frequently being transmitted to him through the system.
Not only are there messages from operators in the system, but even the live chat is filled with discussions about the situation in their respective zones.
[Is someone undergoing tribulation in Antioch, or has Zeus or Thor manifested in the world? Why is there such a loud thunder?]
Good heavens, Antioch is experiencing a thunderstorm, while Horn is teeming with tiny creatures. The streets are now a sea of green... you can't see anything but tiny creatures.
[We're seeing nothing but damage output from the enemy; I haven't seen a single operator appear yet... The enemies on the street have almost been wiped out by crossbow bolts.]
[The Premier is still spouting nonsense on TV, saying that various districts are gradually restoring order, but our streets look like they've been hit by an atomic bomb.]
[Speaking of Arashi, have any of you seen Arashi or her teammates in any of your areas?]
[It seems like it's never appeared before, why do I always have this feeling of being abandoned...]
"Indeed, I have received so many messages, but the French authorities do not seem to have taken any significant action, and the rescue efforts seem to be treated like child's play."
Looking at the comments section, Li Ji couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "Raven, is this how Gaul usually handles major disasters and emergencies...?"
