: Resolve the situation

"How did you...become like this?"

Artoria looked at Yue Yulou's current appearance and her heart couldn't help but tighten. Even the slightly raised hair on her head trembled slightly. After all, the form of the Ashes Angel has nothing to do with the word "decent", let alone Yue Yulou still exudes a faint hell atmosphere at this time... "Haha... there are so many people here, so I'll explain it to you after going to a quieter place."

Yue Yulou did not answer Artoria's question, but walked towards her slowly. When the members who were rising and rising sun were approaching the goddess in their minds, they immediately showed off their weapons and protected Artoria. However, Artoria shook her head gently and signaled her subordinates to disperse, then quietly watched the man in front of her slowly walking towards her... "Hmm? This is..."

Suddenly, Yue Yulou, who was halfway through, stopped suddenly because he found that the ground under his feet was not eroded anymore. However, the moment he raised his head in confusion, he immediately understood what was going on. He smiled relievedly, and then brought Kakashi and others to Artoria... "Maybe... I really should think about it."

"Is that true? Then I look forward to your answer...Safi."

Artoria also discovered this abnormality. Although she didn't know why she could stop the erosion from Yue Yulou, her inner happiness was more than surprised, because it meant that she had more bonds with him and the distance between the two was closer.

"Okay... don't stand here stupidly, go back to the guild headquarters first."

After waved his hand gently and signaling that the crowd could disperse, Artoria turned around and led Yue Yulou and his group to the headquarters of the guild. However, although the two were walking side by side, the team behind them was clearly divided... In fact, it was not that the senior executives who were rising and falling down on Kakashi and the others, but there were a few characters in Mu's team that looked really not so "kind", especially the orc who was wearing an animal leather jacket, had a tangled muscles, a ferocious face, dark skin like steel, and exuded a terrifying aura, which made everyone avoid it... "Safi... is that assassin named Kakashi? Where is that mage?"

Artoria turned slightly and looked at the people brought by Yue Yulou. Among them, Kakashi had met her once. Although she didn't know another mage holding a green staff, her intuition told her that the person should be a player. As for the remaining five people, obviously none of them might be a player... "Haha, actually you should have heard his name, his name is... Crassud."

"What! He is 'Plaint' Crasud!"

Although he knew that the player was not weak, Artoria still did not expect that this young man who seemed a little weak would be one of the top players in the game, the famous necromancer, Crasud, who is known as the Pluto. After hearing the words of his president, the senior officials who have risen and never set off were so shocked that they could not say a word... Crasud was also a little vain, rolling his eyes "enviously" by Kakashi beside him.

"Why is he with you, and it seems that he has become your subordinate. You were not..."

However, Artoria was a long time after all, and she was a person with extremely firm heart, so she quickly recovered. However, she was still very confused. After all, in that battle, Crassud was one of Yue Yulou's main opponents. The battle between the two occupied a lot of scenes in the entire battle... "Well... they are not my subordinates, they are just like-minded. As for the past... Since everyone is like-minded, they naturally won't care so much."

Yue Yulou didn't seem to want to talk too much about his team members, but Artoria seemed to have not heard the hints contained in his words and asked in confusion:

"Even if Kakashi and Krasud are not your subordinates, those four NPCs should be your followers, right?"

Followers, as the name suggests, are that after the voice of a certain race in the game reaches a certain level, they can gain some npc recognition and voluntarily become the player's help in the game. The npcs who can become followers are very strong. However, because those Npcs have very high requirements for players' strength, so far, not many players have their own followers.

"Follower? Well... you can just say that."

After thinking for a while, Yue Yulou still felt that he would temporarily position the four new members of Mu behind him as their followers in front of others, so that he could also dispel some of Artoria's doubts. However, although Artoria's doubts were indeed mostly dispelled, when she thought of Yue Yulou's purpose of coming here with such a powerful team, she immediately showed a look of hope in her eyes... "Huh? The mask on your face is... Didn't you say that the suit on your body would corrode all non-sacred objects? This mask is also a holy weapon?"

After listening to Yue Yulou explain why that strangeness happened around him, Artoria immediately thought of the pure white smiling man mask on Yue Yulou's face. Although this mask was not inconsistent on Yue Yulou's face, it always gave her a very uncomfortable feeling, especially the two black tears under the eyes that were narrowed like crescent moons on the mask... "Oh... this is just a small trick of Zagu, something similar to blurring technique. In order to cause less trouble, I asked him to release one on my face. Haha... I have been talking to you before, and I forgot that there is this thing on my face..."

Yue Yulou then gently wiped his face with his right hand, and the mask suddenly turned into a cloud of mist and dissipated into the air. At the same time, his original face was revealed Yue Yulou smiled at Artoria, which immediately made Artoria's heart tremble slightly, and a hint of bright redness quickly appeared on her face. Even she herself couldn't figure out why she cared so much about this man's every move... (Mysterious bloodline, everyone still remember...) "The guild headquarters is ahead, let's go in..."

After experiencing what had just happened, Artoria immediately did not dare to look at Yue Yulou and spoke again, but her eyes kept moving forward silently. She didn't want her subordinates to see her like that... And Yue Yulou seemed to know her thoughts and no longer talked to her. The two of them walked side by side in silence, but an unusual atmosphere quietly spread between the two... Soon, everyone came to the temporary headquarters of the Guild, which was rising and falling. Until then, Artoria spoke to Yue Yulou, but at this time, her face no longer had the expression she had just now, and only the majesty that was a while ago... "Haha, it seems that the situation is not as bad as outsiders say..."

Walking into the conference hall, looking at the spacious and bright hall, neat and solemn guards, and players with fighting spirit on their faces, Yue Yulou felt that Artoria had indeed done her best, at least better than most presidents.

"You are joking again. The current situation of the guild is known to the entire game industry. The previous sun rises and falls has long been majestic..."

After hearing Artoria's slightly sad words, Yue Yulou shook his head gently and walked slowly to the sand table. After a while of careful reading, he immediately locked his eyes on the small mound representing Peiqin Fort.

"This... should be a fortress, right? The defense line has been torn open so much... Is your troops not enough to take back this fortress?"

“That’s right…”

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Yue Yulou began to lower his head and think. After a while, he seemed to have thought of some countermeasures, and a smile appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth. When Artoria saw him like this, she thought he had found some breakthrough and immediately asked anxiously:

"What? Have you thought of a way to retake Peiqin Fort?"

"No...a cook without rice is not easy to do."

After hearing Yue Yulou's words, Artoria immediately thought that the other party was teasing her. She immediately showed a look of shame and anger on her face. Even the strand of raised hair on her head began to shake left and right. Seeing that Artoria seemed to be inclined to get angry, Yue Yulou quickly changed her words and said:

"Don't be angry...Don't be angry. Although I can't take back Pei Qinbao, I have the ability to solve the crisis in front of me..."

Looking at Yue Yulou's face, Artoria's anger suddenly subsided. She bit her lower lip and said in disbelief:

"Since Pei Qin Fort cannot be taken back, how can we solve the current crisis..."

Yue Yulou shook his head, then led Artoria and everyone around the sand table, and then he pointed to the sand table and said:

"Don't always keep your eyes on the gains and losses of the territory. For you, Peiqin Fort is just a strategic point that supports the defense line. However, there is no city in a considerable range around Peiqin Fort, which means that Peiqin Fort is the only town in this large area, that is, an isolated city. Therefore, Peiqin Fort is more suitable than a fortress, and it is not very effective for you. It is difficult to defend, but it is extremely important to the enemy... You see, there are almost no towns on the east bank of Peiqin Fort, that is,... this fortress is the enemy's only offensive fulcrum, supply point and resurrection point, so..."

Looking at the roar of everyone around who were looking down and thinking, Yue Yulou smiled slightly, waved his right hand gently at the sand table, and the small mound representing Pei Qin Fort suddenly disappeared... "As long as you erase Pei Qin Fort and then build a few outposts on the spot, there will be no problem. Even if the enemy wants to launch an attack from here in the future, he will not be able to gain any foothold."

When they heard Yue Yulou's words, everyone was stunned. Their minds could not keep up with Yue Yulou's rhythm at all. However, some skilled commanders still reacted. Montgomery looked at the sand table carefully, then thought for a while, and then nodded in agreement. However, he obviously did not think that Pei Qin Fort could be erased so easily... "Although this gentleman's view... is a bit different, he was indeed right. As long as Pei Qin Fort is destroyed, the enemy will lose its foothold, but... there are nearly 100,000 enemy troops stationed near Pei Qin Fort. It is more difficult to completely destroy the fortress than to retake the fortress..."

"Okay, Montgomery...Safe said that, then he will definitely do it."

But compared to Montgomery, Artoria obviously knows Yue Yulou's true strength better. She knew from the very beginning that Yue Yulou must have the ability to say that, so she looked at Yue Yulou thankfully and whispered:

"Thank you."

"It's just a little effort..."
