Civilization Guardian Front

"Didn't the head of the group say a while ago that there are too many unknown threats in the current dungeon, so he decided to postpone the expedition?"

Following his question, many people in the main hall couldn't help whispering, guessing the reason why the group leader announced this decision...

"Does that mean we can't afford to pay the fine for refusing an expedition?"

"Don't talk stupid things, even the guild recommends that all D-rank and above family members reassess the risk, and even take the initiative to revoke the obligation of compulsory expedition temporarily, so there is no fine!"

"Oh... oh, that's it."

"However, since the guild has not given pressure, why should we organize an expedition in an extraordinary period?"

Although the voice of a single person is very small, the superposition of dozens or even hundreds of times will also form annoying noises.

Riveria's beautiful eyebrows frowned.

"Quiet, listen carefully."

When the deputy head spoke, all members immediately fell silent.

"The people of Orario, are feeling anxious right now..."

With his hands folded and his chin propped, Finn looked serious, and said in a low voice to everyone present:

"They're not sure if adventurers can protect them in the face of the drastic changes in the dungeon. If we continue to be held back by fear, the unease lingering in the hearts of the residents will soon spread."

"At that time, the whole world will be in panic... The adventurers in the city where heroes are born in the center of the world actually start to be afraid of the dungeon, so much so that they choose to use cowardly escape instead of brave face."

""...""Everyone was silent.

They who live in Olalie naturally know that the head's words are not intended to be alarmist.

Walking on the streets in recent days, the laughter that can be heard has decreased significantly. Among urban residents, more emotions have changed from optimism and positivity to fear of future uncertainty.

Although it has not yet reached the point of blurting out, it has already released a very dangerous signal.

The management agency has vigorously promoted the existence of "ancient heroes in this world", and it has indeed succeeded in relieving the pressure to a certain extent and guiding negative emotions to express on the bright side.

But no matter how much you tout it, it will not be as convincing as observing the actions of the adventurers.

Right now, large, medium and small family members have unanimously postponed the expedition, like ostriches burying their heads in relatively safe areas for adventure activities.Just ask, what should the residents who see all this think?

"So, we have to take this step..."

Finn stood up, raised his clenched right fist, and glanced at all the members below.

"Use practical actions to make the loudest cry and tell the world: No matter what kind of difficulties they encounter, adventurers will never back down! The stars of justice are still shining!"

Oh oh! ! !

Many team members echoed with enthusiasm.

"Well, don't be in a hurry to put on a decisive expression that is ready to go to the final battlefield..."

The morale was successfully aroused, and Finn's impassioned and impassioned aura was mostly restrained, and he smiled and gestured for everyone to return to calm with his hands.

Encourage in moderation...

Excessive emotion will only make them lose their judgment and cause counterproductive effects.

Besides, as the leader of a family, he is known for being calm and resourceful, how could he put a large number of members' lives in danger for the above reasons alone.

(I have some doubts, I have to confirm it myself...)

At the last family joint meeting, the representatives present unanimously agreed to "ask the adventurers who were active in the dungeon on the day of the rampage incident, whether they noticed anything unusual."After more than [-] days of investigation and interviews, more than a thousand responses were collected, and the conclusions made after careful comparison of the content of the messages were compiled and delivered to the report on Finn's desk.

As expected, there were no discoveries worth mentioning at all.

The number of adventurers active in the deep layer is rare, and each floor is active and extensive. Even if something happens, it is difficult for people to notice it in time.

The adventurers on the 28th-36th floor between the Mystery of Water and the deep layer heard some suspected large-scale migrations, but due to the number of enemies, the intelligence providers did not dare to follow them rashly.

The biggest harvest lies in the middle...

More than [-]% of the adventurers who are currently exploring in the middle layer have personally confirmed that they have heard or witnessed a large number of monsters moving.

However, when it comes to where the monsters are going, some say they are going to the vertical hole leading to the floor below, and some say they are fleeing upwards, and the two answers are divided equally.

Which answer is correct, or both?

Finn wanted to pierce the fog and see what was going on.

For this reason, organizing an expedition deep into the dungeon is a necessary measure.

At the same time, you can use this opportunity to achieve a more important purpose...

"If there is no rampage of the Water Mystery City, this expedition was originally planned to start two weeks ago. It's just that the abnormal situation in the labyrinth made us realize that there are still many things that are not well thought out in our preparations. then..."

"We have gathered many allies. Five first-level adventurers including the head of the Ganesha family, the "Cyclops" of the Hephaestus family... and more than a dozen medium-sized factions Valve's second-tier adventurer.In addition, the Demeter family and the Njord family fully support our supplies.This expedition will be a large-scale joint operation of the family. "

Hearing this, the members below couldn't help cheering loudly with excitement.

Knowing that the Loki family will not bear this too heavy responsibility alone, but will be assisted by countless important family members, the bravery inspired by the bloodiness of the members present at the scene was immediately given a shot in the arm.

half an hour...

"Wait a minute! Where's Chios, the leader of the Hestia Familia? Isn't he among the companions?"

Suddenly, some adventurers expressed confusion about the list of family members mentioned by the leader one minute ago.

The companion next to him immediately took up the conversation and said:

"It doesn't matter, he is also our ally, and he will definitely participate."

"I heard that he has been upgraded, and his strength should have improved a lot..."

At noon yesterday, the management agency issued an announcement that "Sword of Dawn" Chios Pesheim had been promoted to Lv.3, breaking the record for a second-level adventurer and shocking the entire city.

"Ah~ I am willing to be assigned to the same team as Master Chios!"

""me too...""

Many members of the girl group clasped their hands together, praying to be assigned to the same team as Chios.

"Ahem!" Riveria uttered hastily, lest the girls' delusions continue to spread.

"Unfortunately, he has other important things to do recently. It is an important task assigned to him after our family representatives discussed together."

""Ah~~~! ? ""

The morale of the female members was hit hard.

"Haha, Chios is so popular!"

Grace, who has been watching the theater until now, picked up the beer glass and laughed out loud.

"really..."

The little blond man smiled, raised his glass and touched the rim of the glass with the dwarf, and drank down the delicious golden beer.

The words that came to his mouth were swallowed back by Finn.

Actually, what's even more powerful is...

(Seeing through my intentions for this expedition, I declined the invitation without hesitation.)

Chapter 590? The Gradually Fallen Sword Fairy

when!

The Sword of Despair swung away with great force the black sword edge that hit the face, and delivered it forward.

Chios quickly turned his neck away, dodging Aisi's thrust at the nick of time.Feeling the change in the air flow around his body, he immediately let go of the left hand holding the back of the sword hilt and returned to the waist to receive the opponent's punch that attacked the blind spot of sight.

Unexpectedly, just as the crisis was resolved, there was another sound of breaking wind in my ears.

Ai Si, who was approaching his arm span, suddenly kicked his ankle, forcing Chios to focus on stabilizing the center of gravity of the lower body.

At this moment, the girl suddenly turned sideways, using a shoulder impact that put her whole body weight on it.

bump!

Unable to take care of the balance of the upper and lower forces at the same time, Chios finally lost his defense and was thrown to the ground by Jian Ji.

"cut..."

He was about to exert force on his limbs, but the girl pressed them down.

The girl gasped lightly and opened her small mouth, as if intending to force a kiss, she moved closer to enclose the throat of the young man's neck.

The hands and feet are suppressing the opponent's resistance, and the only thing that can attack is the head. Aisi doesn't want to use the head hammer to hurt each other, so she has to use the way of biting to ensure that she wins.

Although the posture is a bit ambiguous, but it is effective...

Chios couldn't help but find it a little funny seeing Aisi biting forward in order to win regardless of her reserve.

After thinking about it, considering that his throat is in Aisi's mouth right now, he wouldn't be so stupid as to provoke her at this time.

"I surrender..."

Relaxing the tense muscles of his body, Chios stared at the dark night sky on the eve of dawn, and his tone softened:

"Congratulations, you have won a victory."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the force of his neck had slowed down.

(Oh, I really want to win...)

The defeat in the contest more than ten days ago seemed to make Ais quite unwilling.

Since that day, every time Chios met Ais on the surface, the girl insisted on dragging him to the city wall to compete.

Counting today's match, Ai Si finally stopped the bleeding for her embarrassing record of three losses and zero wins.

As for the reason for her successful counterattack, there is no doubt that it is on the opponent's side...

It's not that Chios deliberately released the water.

After being promoted to Lv.3, his physical fitness has been further improved, and he can slightly catch up with Aisi's speed. He no longer needs to stick to his position blindly, and has the option to take the initiative to attack.

Of course he knows that the odds of winning by focusing on defense are undoubtedly much greater than attacking the other's strengths with one's own weaknesses.

However, in non-life-and-death sparring exercises, simply sticking to the rules will not bring you any growth.

In view of this, knowing that he is not as agile as Ais, Chios resolutely gives up the absolute advantage of positional warfare and engages in sports warfare with high-speed displacement and on-the-spot reaction.

While fighting fiercely, occasionally you have to run and chase on the towering city walls.

The sparks of fierce blade collisions bloomed hundreds of times in just 2 minutes. In the end, in the close-range combat where the difference in hand speed was the most obvious, he was defeated by a single move.

Chios was not surprised by such a result.

Anyway, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he won't be the one who suffers...

"Since we lost, I will do whatever you want for the next 10 minutes..." Having said that, he glanced at Aisi with his purple eyes, and then provocatively said in a teasing tone:

"If you don't have the courage, there's no need to force it. You can spend this time counting the stars. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

Hearing this, Ai Si's eyes froze slightly.

He grabbed Chios by the collar and forced the young man to stand up.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Chios' mouth.

"where are we going?"

"...watchtower."

After a short hesitation, Aisi gave the answer in a deep voice.

After finally winning this competition, if she did nothing, wouldn't she be at a loss...

What's more, with Chios' bad nature, he promised that he would not laugh at her, but what he thought in his heart was definitely another matter.Maybe she won't laugh out loud, but Aisi has reason to believe that just a few glances from Chios are enough to achieve the same effect.

Thinking of this, Jian Ji secretly made up her mind that she must teach Chios a lesson.

Soon into the empty dark tower...

Putting her hands on Chios' shoulders and pressing him to the corner, Ais looked as if she was looking for a suitable place to attack, looking down from the young man's face to the heels.

"..."

During the half-minute silence, Chios always had a faint smile on his lips.

This makes Ace very upset...

Since she was born, this is the first time she has seen such an arrogant and fearless person who looks like a winner even though he is a loser...
