Miriam briefly mentioned the situation in the Tower of War server.
It was similar to the Tower of Death server that Irin was in.
The reason why Miriam's Knight Alliance was able to hold the first place in the server and second place in the world was because they were the only two guilds in the world that had an official base.
An official base was very important to a guild's ranking.
This was also the reason why the [Guild Base Token] attracted so many ambitious veteran apostles.
Other than that, Irin guessed that Miriam's Knight Alliance guild storage should have many treasures.
If it weren't for the fact that it was a Legendary-grade item, the drop rate would be so low that it made people cry out in shock. Yi Lin would really have suspected that Miriam had a Legendary-grade item.
At the current stage, the advantage of a legendary item could be said to be overwhelming.
Other than the Knight Alliance.
The Tower of War server also had many noteworthy factions.
Among them, the Crocodile Sea, which was mostly made up of magician apostles, held the third place in the server.
Even in the world rankings, it was ranked fourth.
It was worth mentioning that after a period of turmoil, the top five guilds on the Guild World Rankings had stabilized and had not changed much.
The top five guilds in the world were:
1. Apocalypse (Tower of Death)
2. Knight Alliance (Tower of War)
3. Crocodile Sea (Tower of War)
4. Temple of the Gods (Tower of Conquest)
5. Crocodile Tribe (Tower of Plague)
The Tower of War had two of the top five guilds. One could see how terrifying the Tower of War server was.
The outlaws that wandered around the English Channel, who called themselves "Bandits", did not have a fixed guild.
They were a group of crazy apostles who had spontaneously formed an idle force.
Near the English Channel port, many abandoned cargo ships were docked.
These cargo ships had been modified by the bandits and were mainly used to cross the English Channel.
Late at night.
The five of them gathered around the campfire and discussed their strategy for crossing the sea tomorrow.
"Can't we just force our way through?" Irin asked.
He felt that there was nothing to discuss. Simple and direct methods were always popular.
"I don't recommend it." Cyberras shook his head and said, "Many of them are what you call 'veterans'. They have strange abilities, and forcefully crossing the sea will only cause more trouble."
"Actually, with the strength of your Clock Tower, it shouldn't be a problem to wipe them all out, right?" Irin was very curious.
"Hmph." Griffin, who had been silent at the side, coldly snorted. "The road bandits have already formed a fixed circle. Those damned bandits have their footprints all over the continent of England. Once we completely offend them, it will bring endless trouble to the Clock Tower."
"Understood." Irin looked at Cyberras and Griffin who were wearing men's suits. No wonder they were dressed casually. They didn't want the bandits to recognize them as people from the Clock Tower. In other words, he couldn't even perform magic at will.
As for the reason, Irin pondered for a moment and quickly understood. The Clock Tower was a big business, and its headquarters were on the outskirts of London. It could not be moved. The road bandits were a group of homeless desperadoes. They were not afraid of the strong, but they were afraid of those who did not care about their lives. If they really fell out with this group of road bandits, the Clock Tower would not have peace.
Moreover, the Clock Tower was now in a hostile state with the Mythical Sea. The Mythical Sea was firmly ranked third in the world's guild rankings. It was obvious that they were not weak. The Clock Tower put more effort into preventing the Mythical Sea from causing trouble. If they offended the road bandits all over England, they would undoubtedly face a situation where they would be attacked from both sides.
It seemed that the Clock Tower was not in a good situation either.
No wonder the monarch Barthamelo Dylan would entrust the task of searching for the treasure to Miriam, Irin, and Gu Tianqing, these three outsiders.
"Eh? Is this the reason why Barthamelo gave me the 'color rank'? Now that I'm considered half a magician, I'm not an outsider but an 'insider'? "
A strange thought flashed through Irin's mind.
Cyberras said, "I have an idea."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
"Most of the road bandits are active at night." As the neighbor of the Clock Tower, it was obvious that Cyberras had a deep understanding of these outlaws. She already had an idea on how to cross the strait. "They call their activity at night 'foraging'. After they're done with their foraging, they'll return to their stronghold around six in the morning."
As Cyberras spoke, she took out a 'Great Britain Travel Guide' from her backpack. There was a colored map on the cover. She spread out the map and pointed at a point on the map. "They've set up a blockade along the coast of the strait. We have to break through their defenses when they're at their most relaxed. Don't get entangled with them for too long."
Cyberras said a lot.
But it could be summed up in one sentence: Do whatever you want while they're asleep.
Irin thought for a moment and stared at the map. "Can we take a detour? Do we have to steal their boat? Miriam, Gu Tianqing, and I have mounts that can cross the sea. Miriam's unicorn and my motorcycle can barely fit two people. It won't be a problem to hitch a ride with you guys. "
"With that crappy car of yours?" Griffin snorted coldly. She could clearly imagine how awkward it would be for the two of them to squeeze on the Nightmare Terror. She refused without even thinking about it. At the same time, she added, "After we get ashore, we still need our Magic Bike."
"It's hard to go around them." Cyberras glanced at Griffin calmly. Her finger moved along the coastline and continued, "They've set up six strongholds along the coastline. These six strongholds surround the coastline for a full thirty kilometers. Each stronghold has a number of lookout points. "
"So professional." Irin was both angry and amused. These road bandits had even set up lookout points and camps. She could not help but be impressed by their professionalism. Irin listened for a long time and finally understood. "So, no matter how we come, they'll definitely be alerted, right?"
"Yes." Cyberras nodded. "Lord Barthamelo means to try not to expose Magician's identity. He wanted to minimize the impact of this incident. We'll keep a low profile and follow the Magician's principles. "
"Okay, we'll try our best." Irin lowered her head, smiled, and agreed. But after a while, Irin frowned and asked, "Wait, what's the Magician's principle?"
Griffin blurted out, "'Mystery should be hidden.'" After answering, she could not help but stare at Cyberras. "He's really been given the 'Black Class'?"
"… Yes, Lord Barthamelo is wise."
Cyberras lowered his head and said.
…
Seiberas set an alarm.
They got up and set off at five in the morning.
At night, the five of them took turns to keep watch. They rotated for an hour.
Irin skillfully extinguished the bonfire, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.
Outside the wilderness, the roar of an armored vehicle's engine could be faintly heard.
In the distance, flames flickered from time to time. No one knew what was happening in the wilderness.
Irin lay on the hard floor for an hour. Unable to sleep, she got up and walked out of the house.
On the roof, Griffin, who was lurking in the night like an owl, suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Irin in the night. "What are you doing out here?"
Irin said calmly, "The night is long. I'm not in the mood to sleep. I'll keep watch. I can't sleep anyway. "
With that, Irin jumped, easily grabbed the eaves, and flipped onto the roof.
"…"
Griffin was silent for a moment and shifted her position.
Irin looked up. The moonlight was bright. He took out a book, patted the dust off the cover, and began to read under the moonlight.
Griffin glanced at Irin expressionlessly.
She knew from many people that Irin was a very hardworking person.
He spent most of his time in the classroom and the library.
Irin was more hardworking than most serious Magicians.
Unfortunately …
Griffin closed her eyes and thought of Sir Barthamelo's words. She did not want to talk to this strange person.
"Cyberras, Griffin … Don't tell me you have a sister called 'Medusa', 'Chimera', 'Minotaur' or something like that?"
Crack.
The sound of Griffin clenching her teeth sounded in the quiet night.
She really wanted to explode, but she suddenly noticed a word in Irin's words. Griffin looked at Irin, who was reading under the moonlight, in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that." Irin did not look up and smiled. "I might have to cover one eye to pretend that I can't see that you are sisters."
"It's none of your business."
Griffin turned her head and said coldly.
"Heh, Cyberras has a rebellious sister. No wonder he has such good endurance."
Irin remembered Cyberras' expression when he silently cleaned up the melon seed shells for her.
"You can keep watch."
Griffin stood up, as if she did not want to continue arguing with Irin on the topic of "sisters". At that moment, she accidentally glanced at the book Irin was reading and was stunned.
Wait a minute.
That book looked a little familiar!
Griffin was furious. His voice trembled as he said, "You, you, you actually stole the books from the library?"
"I borrowed it." Irin corrected Griffin seriously. "I'll put it back later. It's a long journey. We can't waste time, right?"
"No." Griffin's face was wooden. She found it unbelievable. "How did you steal it!"
"I said, I borrowed it, borrowed it, borrowed it." Irin repeated the important thing three times and rolled her eyes at Griffin, who did not understand the ways of the world. "If you mean the method, I think it's not difficult, right? The key to preventing theft should be the handwritten signatures. I noticed that there was something wrong with the handwritten signatures at first glance. I looked around. Every book has a corresponding 'magic technique' at the corresponding place on the bookshelf, which is the back of the book. As long as the book is more than five hundred meters away from the 'magic technique', the alarm will be triggered. "
"So it's very simple. Copy the exact same magic technique in the book, and it won't be triggered."
Irin said matter-of-factly.
Griffin's face turned red. Hearing Irin say it so casually, she pointed at Irin with a trembling finger and did not know what to say for a moment.
"Shh!"
Suddenly,
Just as Griffin was about to explode, Irin suddenly closed the book and made a shushing gesture.
Griffin was stunned at first, but a second later, she quickly understood Irin's meaning and lowered her butt on the roof.
Outside the village, in the east, beams of high beam light were rapidly approaching.
"It's bandits!"
Griffin frowned.
At this moment, she did not have the time to pursue the matter of Irin 'stealing' the book.
Irin stomped on the roof with her foot.
Ten seconds later, Gu Tianqing, Miriam, and Cyberras jumped out of the house one after another.
Cyberras moved like an agile hunting dog. She stepped on the wall and elegantly came to Irin and Griffin's side.
Griffin removed the blindfold on her left eye. Behind the blindfold, a strange eyeball was revealed.
The eyeball was green, and circles of standard magic techniques were engraved on it. As Cyberras squinted her eyes, the circles of magic techniques glowed with a faint green light. After looking into the distance for a moment, Cyberras put the blindfold back on her left eye and whispered in a voice that the people on the roof could barely hear.
"It's a small convoy of bandits. There are five armored vehicles, and each vehicle is a standard five-person tactical squad. It should be a team out hunting for food. "
Interesting.
Irin narrowed her eyes and looked at Cyberras' left eye that was covered again. As expected, the 'prying gaze' that Irin sensed before they arrived at the Clock Tower came from Cyberras. Something was wrong with Cyberras' left eye.
However, the convoy of bandits was quickly approaching the abandoned village, so Irin did not ask any more questions. He lowered his head and thought for a moment. He understood and shook his head helplessly. "Looks like we underestimated them. There are people in the hunting team who are good at tracking. They might have noticed our tracks and tire tracks. "
"Let's go!"
Griffin jumped off the roof as soon as he turned over.
"Why should we go?"
Irin was curious about Griffin's reaction.
"We can't expose Magician's identity!"
Griffin said.
Irin even pulled out her gun.
However, Griffin and Cyberras did not want to have a direct confrontation with the convoy of bandits.
Once they started fighting, it would be too easy to identify their abilities.
Plus, unless they were killed instantly, it would be hard to block the communication between apostles. The moment they made a move, the news that the Clock Tower was unethical and attacked the weak bandits would spread throughout the circle of bandits in an extremely short amount of time.
Irin sighed.
He felt that the Magicians living in the Clock Tower were having a hard time.
Other than around London, they did not dare to wander around other places.
The sudden change disrupted their plan to break through the blockade line and reach the port in the morning.
Cyberbras and Griffin pulled out the map again.
Although the two sisters were not on good terms, they could only put aside all distracting thoughts in front of their 'mission' and focus on the outside.
"We can only force our way through the defense line now. Our magic bikes cannot fall into their hands, or else our identities will be exposed. "
Griffin said.
"In the worst case scenario, we can charge all the way to the port and abandon the bikes in the sea. I don't think they would fish them up from the sea just for two motorcycles. "Cyberras sighed softly. They had underestimated the tracking methods of the bandits.
However, it was not hard to guess. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. These bandits had been robbing the area for a long time. How could they not have some trump cards?
While Cyberras and Griffin were having a headache over how to break through the defense line without exposing Magician's identity, Miriam looked up and saw Irin still standing on the roof. Her back was straight and her body was tall. She was even stretching her neck. She did not know what she was doing.
Miriam could not help but ask, "Why are you still standing up there?"
A small red dot quickly moved in the night and finally anchored in the middle of Irin's forehead.
Bang!
In the next second.
Irin was shot in the middle of her forehead and fell backward on the roof.
Below the roof, Miriam, Cyberras, and Griffin, who watched Irin fall with a bullet in her head, were all stunned.
