Chapter 2109 Confrontation
"Is there really only four tons of coarse crystals left?" Claudia made a series of spell-casting gestures, gazing at Nick Hodge's gaze to trigger a slight fluctuation of magic power.
"There are really only four tons of coarse crystals. The rest of the coarse crystals were transported to Midgard yesterday afternoon. If you don't believe me, you can search for them yourself!"
Claudia remained focused on casting spells, and used the third-ring magical spell "Distinguish Lies" to observe the subtle changes in the mine manager's expression, and a look of disappointment could not help but appear in her eyes.
"That man, I don't see any signs of lying."
Chief Gouno stroked his fiery red beard, and whispered to Claudia that just now, he had also activated "distinguishing lies".
Claudia nodded slightly, frowning slightly, her eyes flickering, as if hesitating whether to kill everyone in the mining area.
Before Claudia could make up her mind, Mugel, the gray dwarf monk, suddenly sneered, breaking the stalemate at the scene.
"One ton of coarse crystals is only good for beggars! I don't think there is any need to talk nonsense, let's do it now, slaughter these ignorant humans, set fire to the mine, and go back to the employer as soon as possible!"
The other gray dwarves also clamored to go along with Mugel's instigation. Although the other three forces had not made a clear statement, no one came forward to sing against Mugel.
Joan could see that if the situation continued with this momentum, as long as the gray dwarves took the lead, drows, stone giants, and tauren would probably also join in, and a fire might be inevitable.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Qiao An has no choice but to take out the "communication stone" to call for reinforcements.
Medea, Giant Sisters, Camilla, Insect Master, Evelyn, Cosette, Patty, and Cato have already been pulled into the "chat group" formed by "advanced communication techniques" by him, chatting online, ladies The hot topic of discussion is the holiday discount promotion that "Cloud Network" will launch on October 1st - the National Day of the Far East - when they suddenly received a signal from Qiao An, they hurriedly used their "teleportation skills" and rushed to the conflict on site.
Three beams of teleportation light rose one after another, which immediately aroused the vigilance of Claudia and the others, and all of them gathered their eyes.
Medea and the giant sisters were the first to teleport over.
Then came the snake queen Camilla and her four attendants, namely the two high-level pure blood snake sorceresses who had followed her in the maze race and the two fierce demon snake warriors.
In the last teleportation beam of light, five figures with different postures emerged. Headed by Jules, the lord of Huayuan Township, "Bug Master", Evelyn the spider warlock, Cosette the moth poet, Patty the ghost girl, and Cato the crab-man monk—all of them The original crew representing Huayuan Township in the survival competition.
Seeing the appearance of these three forces, Claudia and the others couldn't help looking at each other, with surprise and confusion in their eyes, as if they couldn't figure out why Medea and the others suddenly appeared here at this moment.
"Hey hey! It's very lively here!"
The iconic wild laughter of the Snake Queen echoed in the tense warehouse area.
"Excellent, I like to join in the fun!"
"Lord of Stone" Gailrod frowned, and looked at the Snake Queen: "Your Highness Camilla, are you also hired by the Volsung family to destroy the mine?"
"What is the Volsunger family? I don't know it!" Camilla led her men to Joan's side, and said with a smile: "I am sister Cinderella's lackey, I don't care about anything else, anyway, my good sister asked me to bite someone I will bite anyone!"
Hearing the snake queen's "wolf and tiger words", Qiao An couldn't help raising his hand and resting his forehead, wishing that he would become a transparent person immediately...
Chief Gouno noticed that everyone in the Hall of Silence and Huayuan Township was also heading towards the camp in the opposite mining area, his face darkened, and he asked loudly, "Ms. Medea, Master Jules, do you want to help the magic crystal mining area?"
"Master Gu Nuo, I'm sorry, our Silent Palace has long been allied with the magic crystal mining area. If you insist on being an enemy of the mining area, we will have to take action to protect the ally." Medea's tone was soft, but her attitude was very firm.
"The position of our Huayuan Township is exactly the same as that of the Palace of Silence." Jules said lightly.
The tauren chief stroked his red beard, turned his head and exchanged glances with Claudia and Gailrod, his face became ugly.
With the power of the three of them, plus the gray dwarves, it is not difficult to unite to destroy the magic crystal mining area. It is precisely because of this consideration that they gladly accepted the entrustment of the Volsunger family, and even wanted to take the opportunity to seize the mining area property rights and obtain a huge financial source.
However, the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. The Magic Crystal Mine not only rejected their blackmail, but also invited the three forces of the Temple of Silence, Abyss Snake Cave and Huayuan Township to help out.
In last year's survival competition, these three major forces have publicly demonstrated their extraordinary strength. In addition, the security team of the Magic Crystal Mine, which won the last survival competition championship, is not weak. There is a conflict on the opponent's territory, and they probably won't be able to take advantage of it.
To take a step back, even if they can win this firefight in the end, they will have to pay a heavy price, and they may not be able to keep the fruits of victory, so it is really not worth it.
Olga, the high priest of the gray dwarves, noticed that his allies were starting to retreat, so he couldn't help roaring anxiously.
"The helper invited by the other party is just a third-rate force in the Underdark Region, and it is completely vulnerable!"
"Why are you still hesitating? Hurry up!"
Claudia rolled her eyes wide.
"If Garden Township, Temple of Silence, and Abyssal Snake Cave can only be regarded as third-rate forces, then according to what you say, they are not ranked as high as these three in this survival competition. Glasto, who was beaten to the bum, almost couldn't complete the schedule , how many forces should it be considered?"
"Wow! This woman's mouth is so poisonous!" Kao Ruijing couldn't help exclaiming.
Joan nodded sympathetically. Fortunately, he is not Claudia's friend. This woman's sarcasm is so sharp.
Priest Olga was so angry at Claudia's acrimonious ridicule that his face turned purple, and he raised his pickaxe and roared madly in anger.
"You guys are scared, we gray dwarves are not! Guys, kill all the trash on the opposite side!"
"Hosta!"
Joan has been paying close attention to the movement of the gray dwarves, and found that these crazy and aggressive dwarves took up weapons under the instigation of Priest Olga, and immediately launched the spells prepared in advance.
After chanting the incantation symbolizing "cluster", Joan's left little finger burst with a bang, turning into a thick blood mist and spreading in the air.
At the same time, the capsule encapsulating the "Devil's Blood Essence" held in the palm of his left hand also vaporized by itself, blending into the blood mist, providing an additional strengthening effect for the 6th-level spell "Flesh and Flesh Swarm", and making the blood mist in the air transform into blood. Insect swarm, evolved from ordinary wasps to "Yellow Spring Bee Swarm".
