A Race to (Be) The Top

Jingzhe City ushered in a brand new day, Ling Xiaolu walked on the brick ground of the castle, looking at everything here curiously.

The patrolling guards passed by, and Ling Xiaolu carefully identified each face.

"No, no, no..."

He couldn't find the guard who entrusted him with the task the night before, and wondered in his heart, shouldn't NPC death be refreshed again?

"Morning, Commander!"

The guards greeted him in unison, interrupting his thinking. This was the second time Ling Xiaolu saw the commander himself. After he nodded to the guards, he looked around, as if he was looking for someone.

"Tiss." A voice that Ling Xiaolu didn't hear much, but which left a deep impression came from the other side of the wall.

The commander turned around and faced his new wife, he couldn't help smiling.

"Good morning."

Sadia came over: "What are you doing here?"

"One of my guards is missing, I'm going out to look for it."

The commander took his wife's hand as he spoke, and led her away from here.

Just as Ling Xiaolu wanted to catch up, he stopped abruptly.

Ji Meng came to kill——Ling Xiaolu admired his aura of killing wherever he went: "Didn't we agree to go on a mission together?!"

Ling Xiaolu said contemptuously: "Did you come here on a snail? Because of you, everyone left just now."

The two bickered, and followed the route the commander left to the main hall. They didn't see the person they were looking for, but they saw someone who shouldn't be here.

"Beifeng? Why are you here?" Ling Xiaolu asked curiously.

"Where the goddess is, I will be there." Bei Feng glanced at Ji Meng vigilantly, "Except for me, all the members of the Knights have also moved to Jing Zhe."

Ji Meng had no idea about this, and said perfunctorily, "Oh, welcome."

He pulled onto Ling Xiaolu to leave, but was stopped by Beifeng.

"Ji Meng."

Ji Meng turned his head: "Is there something wrong?"

"The knights stationed in Jingzhe City will officially declare war in the family war at the end of the month."

Ling Xiaolu was amused: "Where is the goddess, are you going to occupy it?"

"It's not occupation," Beifeng corrected him, "it's protection."

"I understand what you mean," Ji Meng finally understood the meaning of his words, he hated the twists and turns, "I joined the battle yesterday because Jingzhe is my main city, as for who the owner of the city is has nothing to do with me."

After listening to Ji Meng's statement, Bei Feng was relieved a lot. In the family war, one more appointment and one less appointment are crucial to the battle situation.

"You guys want to have a frightening sting, what about father Kou?" Ling Xiaolu asked.

"If he is willing to settle peacefully, we can exchange the Spring Equinox City with him."

Thinking of Dou Kou's heroic demeanor of desperately opening the way for the goddess yesterday, Ling Xiaolu was not optimistic about this proposal at all.

"I think you are afraid to prepare for a hard fight."

"One failure is two, two failures are three times, we are determined."

What else could Ling Xiaolu say: "I wish you all good luck. By the way, did you see the commander just now?"

Bei Feng was taken aback, pointed in a direction, and watched the two go in that direction, there seemed to be a little conflict in the middle, and they started fighting while walking.

Bei Feng: ... two strange people.

Ling Xiaolu and Ji Meng found the commander who was alone in the combat command hall.

"Should I hand him the sword directly? Is it that simple?"

"What does the mission statement say?"

Ling Xiaolu folded his palms together and opened them again, imitating the movement of opening a book: "Let me see the task panel... Well, that's right, just write to hand over the sword of the unknown soldier to the commander, then I will hand it in?"

He stepped forward: "Hello, Commander."

The commander who was working at his desk raised his head and saw a stranger: "Excuse me, are you...?"

Ling Xiaolu respectfully handed over the saber he got the night before: "Someone asked me to give this to you before dying."

The commander was stunned, and after a while, he looked down at the saber and continued to be in a daze.

Ling Xiaolu turned around in puzzlement: "So... it's over?"

"Is there a reminder that the task is completed?" Ji Meng asked.

Ling Xiaolu shook his head: "No."

Ji Meng also stepped forward: "Do you recognize this saber?"

The commander replied quickly: "Of course, this is my saber with my initials on the hilt."

He turned his saber around and showed the hilt to the two of them.

"It was entrusted to me by one of your guards. Do you know his name?"

The commander shook his head slowly: "What did you just say?... before dying?"

"Yes, I searched around the castle just now and didn't see this person."

The commander slowly slid across the scabbard with his fingertips, and suddenly he pulled the sword out of the scabbard with force, and the blade shot out a dazzling light.

"what?"

Ling Xiaolu made a surprised sound, and a dialog box appeared in front of him, which read:

>>You are about to enter the memory world of <The Last Wish of the Unknown Guard>, please select nearby participating players.

Except for Ling Xiaolu, the only player nearby was Ji Meng, and Ling Xiaolu ticked his name.

>>Once the mission starts, no new players will be able to join, please confirm your choice.

confirm.

>>The old world opens...

The surrounding scene has changed, strange yet familiar.

"Am I color-blind?" Ling Xiaolu looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Ji Meng, "Everything I see is yellow, including you."

"I think you are the same," Ji Meng also looked around, "It should be the visual effects of entering the old world."

"Ah, I know where this is, I just went there this morning," Ling Xiaolu recalled, "This is the training ground behind the castle."

Soldiers on the training ground are doing hard morning exercises.

Ling Xiaolu searched the crowd, and suddenly excitedly exclaimed: "I found it! It's him!"

He ran up to one of them excitedly: "So you are here! Do you remember me? What's your name?"

The guard didn't respond to Ling Xiaolu's series of questioning, instead he raised his sword and slashed down vertically.

"Ah!" Ling Xiaolu thought he was going to be hit by the sword, but he had no time to dodge, but the sword pierced through him, as if it had struck a cloud of air.

Ji Meng also came over: "Don't bother calling him, it's useless."

He looked around, and no one showed any abnormal behavior because of their appearance: "Didn't you notice? To the people in this world, you don't exist. They can neither see you nor hear you."

Ling Xiaolu was disappointed: "Is that so? Then what are you sending us in for? Is it just to watch a show?"

He looked at Ji Meng, who had a real sense of presence beside him: "Isn't that even you and I can't touch it? Let me try."

Before Ji Meng could react, he aimed at Ji Meng with an ancestral deer fist and punched him: "Hoo!"

Ji Meng: ...

Ling Xiaolu looked at the fist in the middle of Ji Meng's chest, put away his fist in embarrassment and pretended to touch it: "The chest muscles are good."

Quietly raised his eyes to see that Ji Meng's face was red again, and immediately apologized with a smile: "So I can touch it, I thought the two of us were phantoms."

Ji Meng endured it for a long time before deciding not to argue with fools.

Ling Xiaolu quietly moved a few steps away from the source of danger. Although he didn't see much color in his eyes, he could still deduce that it was late autumn, and there should have been a thick layer of withered and yellow fallen leaves on the ground.

"Is there no way to let people in this world know our existence?"

Ling Xiaolu pondered for a while, then quickly turned around on the spot.

Ji Meng frowned: "What are you doing?"

The rotation of Ling Xiaolu brought up the wind, and the wind rolled up the fallen leaves, forming a small vortex on the ground.

"Huh!" Ling Xiaolu stopped, "I tried my best."

Everyone around was training seriously, only the guards noticed this unusual vortex.He stopped what he was doing, a puzzled look on his face.

"The guards over there! If you don't train well, why are you deserting?"

Only then did Ling Xiaolu notice the existence of the commander on the training ground.

"Report to the commander! Just now... just now..." The guard pointed at the ground in great confusion, "It's clear that there was no wind, but the leaves were blown up."

The commander followed his fingers and glanced at the calm ground: "Where is the blow?"

"It's just... I really saw..."

The commander interrupted him: "Guard, I hope you can remember that deserting the battlefield is very dangerous, for any reason. Playground, ten laps, now."

The guard stood at attention: "Yes! Commander!"

Ling Xiaolu looked at the backs of the guards running in circles: "I think the commander is a little unreasonable."

Ji Meng scolded him: "Isn't it because of you?"

Ling Xiaolu looked around: "Well, I think it's a good thing for the commander to be more strict..."

He looked around and found that the surrounding scene had changed again, this time it was the wilderness suspected of spring, with the breeze blowing, the grass growing and warblers flying.

"Huh? We changed places."

It was the same group of people as before, lurking in the long grass, doing field ambush training, and Ling Xiaolu, who had experience, saw the guards at a glance.

Suddenly a golden hamster broke into the grass where the guard was crouching, and rubbed against the guard like a chicken without a head.

Unexpectedly, the guard lifted the hamster carefully with his hands: "Little guy, where did you come from?"

The hamster is not afraid of people, and it is excitedly arching in the palm of his hand, and circling over and over again.

The guard couldn't help smiling, and gently stroked the hamster's soft fur.

"Guards!" The commander noticed the movement here and shouted sternly.

The guard quickly put down the hamster and stood up: "I'm sorry, Commander!"

The commander saw that he was still the same person from last time: "Why is it you again? Deserting on the battlefield is dangerous, don't you remember?"

The guard consciously made a mistake and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Commander!"

"Leapfrog one hundred times!"

"Yes! Commander!"

The guard secretly lowered his head and winked at the hamster, turned around and leapfrogged away.The hamster chased after him for a few steps, then stopped, staring blankly at his back.

Ling Xiaolu spread his hands: "It's not my fault this time, it's all the mouse's fault."

"It's a hamster!" Ji Meng corrected him angrily.

"Hamster, mouse, stupidly can't tell the difference." Ling Xiaolu looked back, but the hamster had already disappeared.

"I have a hunch that this scene is about to end again."

"Be careful!" Ji Meng held him down and threw himself on the ground, a huge dragon whizzed past the backs of the two, and the wind it brought up made the corners of their clothes flying.

Ling Xiaolu: ...Knowing that the scene needs to be cut, can you cut it without being so defenseless?

"Strange," Ji Meng squatted up vigilantly, "These dragons seem to be able to attack us."

"I know, now is the part of killing monsters, how can you not do the task without killing monsters."

Ji Meng tried to strike a thunderbolt on Feilong, and sure enough, he saw that the dragon's blood volume decreased.

"You got it right once."

"What is Meng!" Ling Xiaolu refused to accept, "It is obviously a well-founded reasoning!"

"Go! These dragons are going to attack the village!"

Ling Xiaolu followed Ji Meng down the mountain without thinking: "Hey, I found that these dragons look exactly like yours."

"That's a monster I tamed."

"The monster is really miserable, but because it grows fat, it will be tamed by you."

Ji Meng glared at him while running: "What does it have to do with getting fat?"

When the two ran to the foot of the mountain, the village was already in flames.

"Broken! It's too late!"

There was the sound of fighting not far away.

"It's them!"

The two rushed to the source of the sound, and they really saw the commander leading a small team fighting the dragons to the death.

"They have too few people!" Ling Xiaolu exclaimed, and at a glance, he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and many people on the commander's side were injured.

"Shouldn't have prepared, just happened to pass by, to help!"

There's no need for Ling Xiaolu to say, he showed his bear claws early in the morning, and flew into the battle.

"Aerial combat, I have no advantage."

He spoke discouraging words, but his hands and feet were not slow at all. He aimed at a low-flying dragon and jumped onto his back.The dragon felt that there was more weight on its back out of thin air, and it spun and rolled to throw the intruder off. Ling Xiaolu stabbed his claws into the dragon's back firmly, and howled in horror:

"I drop a horse, I have a fear of heights!"

Ji Meng rewarded the dragon with a thunderbolt from the ground, and released Leilulu at the same time.Lei Lulu leaped into the air, aimed at the flying dragons, stepped on one foot, kicked on the other, jumped from one dragon's back to another, playing the battle as a game, having a great time .

The dragon Ling Xiaolu was also beaten by lightning, and obediently carried Ling Xiaolu to spread its wings and fly against the group of dragons.Ling Xiaolu didn't do anything else, he aimed at the dragon's eyes and attacked. The blinded flying dragon couldn't tell the direction, and after flying a few times, it turned and fell to the ground with its head down, kicking up waves of dust.

A giant dragon fell not far from the guards, and he was shocked until he was scarred from the battle.Holding the saber that had been broken in half, he nervously raised his head to look around, but he couldn't see the existence of Ji Meng and Ling Xiaolu, and naturally he didn't understand why the dragon would fall from the sky by itself.

After Ling Xiaolu solved a problem, he looked up and his heart stopped suddenly: "It's dangerous!"

The guard sensed the danger with a tacit understanding, but when he turned around, he saw the giant dragon swooping towards him at high speed in mid-air.

Ji Meng rushed towards him recklessly, but was still a second behind.

The guard's eyes widened, and he looked at the commander who blocked the fatal blow for him in disbelief.

The commander looked down at the dragon claws piercing his body stiffly, then raised his head stiffly.

"You... the guards... haven't told you many times... deserting on the battlefield... is a very dangerous... thing..."

He slapped the blood-stained saber in the guard's arms, and fell down slowly and soundlessly.
