Global Mining.

Chapter 309: Black Iron Guardian Council

South Canyon Village.

When the nearly 100,000 players who were mobilized by the Royal Clan to defend the village looked at the endless siege, their hearts sank! The siege was far inferior to this. What was going on in this village?

But Ma Yinglong still has hope, that is the reinforcements from the Jackal Tribe! As long as the Jackal Tribe defeats the jackal monsters outside first, they can support the village.

Just at this moment, a black shadow streaked across the night sky as the singing voice was heard in the air. Everyone was confused: "Who is this?"

The next moment, two walls of fire separated the battlefield!

Ma Yinglong suddenly realized that when encountering something that players cannot handle, it is not the players' business at all, so there is no need to panic?

As expected, a torrent of water suddenly gushed out of an old mine outside the village, and several NPCs emerged riding what looked like long, pointed surfboards. Wherever they passed, the water knocked down monsters and covered the entire area in frost, creating two separate control zones, one hard and one soft, in addition to the fire wall! Even more amazingly, the water flow wasn't continuous; it gathered in a ball beneath the surfboard, like a "water wheel." The surfboard itself seemed to be made of ice...

At this moment, all the players in the village were stunned!
Ma Yinglong wasn't confused at all, and immediately instructed Feng Xingcuo: "Can you take the initiative to attack and defeat them one by one?"

Feng Xingcuo was excited: "Sure, a frozen monster moves very slowly. Even if our level is lower, we can still defeat it if we fight ten of them against one!"

Ma Yinglong laughed: "Then rush out and quickly gain experience!"

— Announcement from the Southern Canyon Village garrison: Regiments 1 to 8 will initiate the attack. Regiments 9 to 17 will take over if strength is insufficient…

The Kamimae team was stunned when they received the undercover live broadcast from Canyon Village.

"Reporting to the young master, we can confirm that the one breathing fire is the guardian dragon god of Tieyan Village! However, the one singing is probably on the dragon's back, but its identity is still unknown."

"There are six people on the water polo ice boat, all with Dachun-like greasepaint on their faces. Two of them are village elders, one is the village alchemist, and the identities of the other three are unknown..."

The young master was stunned: "Why would the Dragon God want to spit fire on the battlefield..."

"Young Master, we can wait for the fire wall to disappear..."

……

At this time, Sariel, who was rushing to Black Iron City, was also busy. The All-Seeing Eye who stayed in the village sent a live broadcast. A strange ice ship was frozen in the fire wall isolation area with all the people on board!
The Tenth Master was stunned: "What is this?"

Sariel was surprised. "This water ball magic is very similar to the mermaid's water ball magic. Could it be taught by the Sirens?"

Uriel was shocked and said, "But this spell requires extremely high mana. These six people don't look like powerful mages at all."

Gabriel said, "It's just a village. It's unlikely there are such powerful people. They may have just been dispatched temporarily. Seeing these Chinese players rushing out immediately shows that this ship can't sustain."

Michael asked, "Sariel, how long will this black dragon's wall of fire last?"

Sariel was genuinely stumped by the question. "The black dragon killed the players I brought with me earlier. When I resurrected and came back to find the mermaid, it was still burning for at least half an hour. Then I went to Iron Flame Village and didn't notice it anymore."

Uriel was getting impatient. "We have hundreds of thousands of siege monsters. We can't wait for more than half an hour just to block two walls of fire. We can just find an entrance and use the bodies of the cannon fodder to fill it. The wall of fire is only 30 meters wide."

Michael really couldn't wait any longer: "Then fill it out."

……

Black Iron City.

Dachun summoned angels to "guard" all the NPCs on the street and help them return home.

At the same time, I was really sleepy and couldn't help wanting to sleep.

At this moment, Ailian sent a message: "The mermaid, the Black Dragon God, and the second person have come to Black Iron City to answer the call of the guardian god!"

Dachun was startled: "Didn't the church agree to find Nanxier?"

Ailian said: "Who knows? It doesn't matter to us, right? They are all one of us."

Dachun suddenly wanted to laugh: "That's right!"

Ailian added, "Over in the village, my Biliana has also formed a tacit understanding with the mermaid and is hiding from the public. The Dragon God has also spit out two fire walls to isolate the battlefield. Shirley and several elders have also improved the magic ship and are currently in actual combat. There are no major problems. We just need to wait for the villagers to recover from the weakening in the crisis."

Dachun was completely relieved: "Okay, you take over my body and rest if you can. I'm going to rest now."

Then switch to the secondary account and take a look before logging off.

——System prompt: You have shared my master-level space technique through soul link...

This is what we want to share!
Just then, there was another knock on the door: "Brother Chun, are you busy? Breakfast is here!"

Ah, it’s better to sleep after eating.

Dachun stood up immediately: "Here I come!"

Dachun handed over yesterday's meal tray, and the younger brother smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Chun is busy, so breakfast is fried buns and mooshu soup. It's convenient and simple to eat and doesn't worry about getting cold."

Dachun smiled: "Actually, I'm not busy anymore. It's better to keep it simple."

"Then take your time, Chun Ge. Remember to rest."

Dachun was truly delighted by the internet cafe owner's thoughtfulness. Okay, if I have some free time these past two days, I'll definitely treat him back. Since I haven't showered yet, I'll treat him to a sauna. This time, I'm going to rub out half a ton of mud...

……

Sariel followed the Mermaid Dragon God to the Black Iron City.

The alarm in Black Iron City was escalated again.

The Black Dragon God said angrily: "You are really dissatisfied with me!"

Sariel said anxiously, "Don't get excited, Dragon God. Let the Lord of the Throne speak."

The mermaid said in a high-pitched voice, "I am Helen, the mermaid guardian of Silver City. I heard that Black Iron City was in urgent need of a guardian, so I brought my brother Black Dragon to answer the call..."

All the players defending the city walls were in an uproar!
As soon as the words fell, a wizard wrapped in a ball of wind soared into the air from the city. "Black Iron Flower, the Imperial Cultural Envoy Fafna welcomes Lord Silver Throne and Sage Sariel. Please proceed to the church to present your story."

Sariel was very pleased with her attitude. An NPC of City Flower's rank wouldn't attack a siege monster. After all, siege monsters were designed to grant players merit for leveling, so she couldn't snatch them away. She could only indirectly grant players various magic resistance and mana recovery shields. But if a NPC of the Black Dragon God appeared, she had to fight him if the Guardian God wasn't around, even if she couldn't defeat him.

The mermaid was very satisfied: "Then please!"

Sariel surveyed the city with satisfaction, and immediately spotted a glimmer of holy light in the middle of the city. Was that the fly? It was actually quite powerless...

……

At this moment, the church that heard the voice in the air was in an uproar!
The God of War Tata, who was visiting Our Lady Dalma in the church, was even more shocked. Isn't this black dragon the target of his collar mission?

Listening to the bishops' ridiculous rebuttals, War God Tata instantly came up with a plan. Sariel was second only to Silver City, and even the Guardian of Silver City could be replaced. Taking on another Guardian of Black Iron City would be unstoppable, but he could seize the opportunity. "Lord Dalma, I have an idea..."

……

The Black Dragon God landed majestically in the church square, and a group of church bishops immediately came out to greet him.

The mermaid also slid down from the dragon's back and said, "Did the bishops hear what I said in heaven just now?"

The bishops looked at each other in bewilderment. "But Your Excellency, you are already the patron saint of Silver City. The Archbishop has never had a patron saint of two cities, so we dare not make a decision."

The Black Dragon God smiled, his mouth blazing with flames. "Then what do you think I am?"

The bishops' expressions froze, and they subconsciously cast holy shields to protect themselves.

Sariel took the initiative to explain: "It's the evil god! If the Silver Throne hadn't subdued him as his brother in the wilderness, I'm afraid—"

The Black Dragon God interrupted, "Watch your words, kid! It's not that I can't beat you, it's that you're so cute and beautiful!"

The mermaid snorted, "Brother, are you dissatisfied? We are by the sea, unlike the inland area. How about we have another fight?"

The Black Dragon God laughed loudly: "Come on, the previous sister was not strong enough, I want to know her true strength!"

Sariel immediately advised, "Lord of the Throne, my brother, and all the bishops, this is a city area, we can't fight!"

The bishops were also frightened: "Two great gods, you can't fight!"

Sariel began to persuade them, "My Lords, there is no doctrine that remains unchanged for a thousand years! Doctrines are always evolving. Lord Helen's succession as the Guardian of Silver City is a result of the reforms humbly and noblely promoted by the previous Guardian, especially in the current critical situation where the city's Guardian is vacant..."

Mother Dalma spoke up: "Sage, if we don't agree, will this black dragon start a fight in the city?"

You are very sensible!
Sariel sighed, "Ma'am, this is not something I can stop, and it's probably not something you can easily stop either."

Dalma said in a deep voice, "So, only this Lord Helen can stop it?"

Sariel felt that her tone was not quite saintly, but he could only sigh and continue, "At present, it seems so."

Dharma said in a deep voice, "Absolute power brings absolute dictatorship. Let's not even talk about the consequences of a god ruling two cities. The current situation alone is already threatening dictatorship! That's why I oppose it! If this Black Dragon Evil God insists on fighting, then go ahead and kill him. The charge will be that the Silver Guardian God condoned the evil god. I'm afraid that Master Divine Throne won't even be able to continue serving as the Silver Guardian God!"

Sariel was shocked!

The black dragon was furious and blew a mouthful of dragon fire directly to the Virgin Mary 0.01 meters away: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Everyone was shocked!
The Virgin Mary was sweating profusely but remained righteous: "For the sake of love and fairness, and to oppose dictatorship, kill me!"

What a saint! Sariel has never been so disgusting and saintly as he is now. He always feels that something is wrong.

Huh? Battlefield tracking, go!

On the minimap, a player's figure immediately appeared behind the church's main altar door. It was Tata, the God of War! Was he hiding behind the crack in the door, spying? Was he causing trouble?

Sariel suppressed his anger and asked, "Then the Virgin Mary must have a solution to the problem, right?"

The Virgin Mary said, "Of course, we will form a temporary council of guardian gods. We agree that Lady Helen will respond to the call temporarily, and we also strongly request that the Black Dragon God join us to restrain it from killing indiscriminately."

Sariel was stunned: "Isn't this a dictatorship?"

The Virgin Mary said, "We are urgently recruiting candidates. We also have an angel and a legendary fish-man god to join the council. We will make a resolution through voting."

Sariel was stunned. "Where did the angel come from? And what is the Murloc God?"

At this moment, even the God of War Tata who was eavesdropping at the door was confused. Although he had just learned that the guardian god died due to inexplicable space turbulence, and he also knew that the church was anxious to find God, he didn't expect that there were actually two alternatives?
The Reverend Mother said, "The angel has been quietly contributing to a certain area and will be arriving soon. As for the Murloc God, he once played a key role in the development of Black Iron City. The people of the northern fishing village are preparing to hold a once-in-a-century Thanksgiving Festival in his honor..."

Sariel was completely confused: "How can a murloc vote?"

The Virgin Mary was furious: "Sir, you are forbidden to insult animals!"

Huh? She's an animal rights activist...

The mermaid finally expressed her opinion: "Merpents are also part of my sea tribe. I agree! I also welcome them to vote against me! This temporary parliament is temporary. We can't let the Grand Master think I'm from the sea tribe and might rebel and be dissatisfied with me. Let's talk about it after we get through this crisis."

All the bishops agreed: "This is best!"

Fafna also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for welcoming the two great gods to Black Iron City!"

Sariel had to admit that this was actually the best solution, but… Sariel glanced behind the door, feeling extremely unhappy. This Curry must be still harboring delusions because his lost collar was related to the black dragon. Just wait and see…

The Black Dragon God laughed heartily: "Does this mean you acknowledge that I am one of the Guardian Gods?"

The bishops nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!"

The Black Dragon God laughed and said, "As a guardian god, you must have a territory, right? I've set my sights on Tieyan Village. I'm the guardian god of Tieyan Village. Is that okay with you?"

The bishops looked at each other in confusion. "No problem, no problem. Tieyan Village has always refused to allow the guardian deity to move in. It's just right that Lord God Throne has gone."

The Black Dragon God laughed and said, "Wait a moment, wait until I kill these insects in the sky before joining. Anyone who dares to fly higher than me will die~~~"

Sariel was stunned!
The mermaid smiled. "This can be considered as a practical service for the people before my brother takes office."

—Black Iron City Announcement: The Provisional Council of Guardians of Black Iron City has been established...

God of War Tata breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was extremely concerned about the Thanksgiving of Beigang Fishing Village. He really didn't expect that Beigang Fishing Village had such a connotation?

Tata contacted Alfa immediately to inquire.

Alpha suddenly realized: "So the guy who attacked us in the water earlier was the Fish God. I thought it was an electric eel!"

Beta exclaimed, "We've traveled through time and changed history!"

Alpha said solemnly, "The database must have been modified online! Fortunately, our group is stationed in Beigang Fish Village. We must keep this secret and don't let the bastards know!"

Beta said, "We'll find out eventually, Tata. What you need to do is fight for the dominance of this Fish God and do your best to drive out the Shangri-La Chamber of Commerce!"

Although Tata War God was excited, he was also uneasy: "Since history has been changed, how much benefit will this Dachun gain?"

Alpha said solemnly, "There should be benefits, such as gaining a reputation that has been passed down for a hundred years. However, reputation can be distorted and discredited. We can blame Dachun for the Black Iron God's demise, saying that he murdered the Black Iron Guardian God. If we go to the God's Tomb in Gem City and trigger this time travel event again, it will be even easier for us to discredit him a hundred years ago!"

Beta said, "Actually, there's no need to travel through time for a hundred years. Baga has triggered several thieves, which is related to the newspaper. They have more conditions and motivation to discredit Dachun..."

"That's right, let's do it..."
