Upon hearing Adrian's sudden statement, the entire room instantly quieted down, and everyone turned their gazes towards him, their expressions full of surprise and anticipation.
William was the first to break the silence, "Adrian, you can't joke around at a time like this, we've already suffered heavy casualties, any wrong decision will bury the entire city."
Adrian snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm just brute force like you guys? Don't underestimate the Free Chamber of Commerce, we naturally have some cards in our hands, it's just that I don't want to take them out until the moment of last resort."
Alexander frowned and asked in disbelief, "You had a solution to the Luminary-class mutant beasts long ago, so why were you reluctant to say anything until now?"
Adrian slightly raised an eyebrow, his tone was still condescending, "This thing is extremely precious, if you use it up, you will never get it again, originally I was prepared to wait until you all couldn't carry it anymore before using it, but I preferred to solve the crisis quickly and explore the relics that Ian said. Now that the situation is pressing, taking it out is a bit of insight for you guys!"
Although the crowd was a bit dissatisfied with Adrian's tone, they couldn't care less at this moment and urged, "What exactly is the item? You hurry up and explain it!"
Adrian smiled mysteriously, then took out a small black box and placed it in the center of the table. He carefully opened the lid of the box, and a crystal clear blue crystal lay quietly inside, emitting a faint but palpitating energy fluctuation.
William's face changed slightly, "What is ... this, why does the energy emitted give me a feeling of fear!"
Alexander also looked at the crystal in shock and couldn't help but say, "You actually hid it so deeply!"
The corner of Adrian's mouth lifted slightly with a bit of self-satisfaction, "What do you guys think has allowed the Free Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold for so long? This crystal can burst out with Astral level attacks, but don't be too happy, this thing is completely scrapped after use, and I'm heartbroken."
The crowd was speechless, but more than anything else, they were glad at this moment.
Just as the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, heavy hissing and sirens once again sounded outside the city, clearly a new round of mutant beasts' attack was coming.
Ian quickly stood up and said in a deep voice, "We don't have much time, hurry up and set up the tactics, and try to gather all the Luminary-class mutant beasts together, and have them annihilated in one blow by Adrian using the crystal!"
William, Alexander and Adrian quickly exchanged opinions and quickly finalized the tactical plan.
Everyone walked out of the room and quickly returned to their respective positions.
Outside the city, the beast tide once again launched an onslaught, with the black pressurized beasts coming in like a sky and earth.
The three Luminary-class powerhouses once again leapt onto the city, fiercely fighting with the Luminary-class mutant beasts in the beast tide.
William held a huge sword and used his strong power to attract the enemy's attention; Alexander used a flexible and swift attack to quickly gather the enemy; Adrian's attack was even more bizarre, using the power of shadows to constantly interfere and drive away, gradually gathering the Luminary-class mutant beasts into their intended positions.
The battle was exceptionally intense, and the three of them worked together more and more harmoniously, gradually guiding all the Luminary-class mutant beasts together.
"It's now!" William roared.
Adrian quickly took out the Astral-class energy crystal, raised it high, and snapped, "Die to me, all of you!"
With a loud bang, the crystal shattered apart, and a blue light so intense that it was impossible to see straight instantly swept across the battlefield. An irresistible and powerful force swept out, instantly engulfing the gathered Luminary-class mutant beasts.
William and Alexander were so shocked by this amazing power that they took several steps back, their gazes filled with shock.
A moment later, the light dispersed, and only a scorched black land remained at the original location, all Luminary-class mutant beasts had already gone up in smoke.
The remaining mutant beasts were immediately thrown into chaos, and Ian quickly led the warriors in the city to rush out of the city walls and launch a large-scale counterattack. At this moment, the human side's morale was high, and they did not hesitate to charge into the mutant beasts and launch a fierce attack.
After a short fierce battle, the beasts finally collapsed completely and fled in all directions.
The crowd looked at the victorious scene in front of them and cheered.
William patted Adrian's shoulder and said with admiration, "Adrian, thanks to you this time, I didn't expect the Free Chamber of Commerce to have such a powerful card!"
Adrian grunted, but also smiled slightly, "Don't thank me too much either, after all, we still have to explore the ruins now, remember, you guys can owe me a big favor!"
The crowd laughed, after this life and death battle, the attitudes between the three major forces had also undergone a subtle change, the wariness between each other had decreased a lot, and there was more trust and respect.
Ian looked at this rare and harmonious scene and felt slightly relieved in his heart, then stepped forward and said, "Since the crisis has been temporarily lifted, it's time for me to honor my promise. Early tomorrow morning, we will set off for the ruins."
........
As night fell, in a hidden room in the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel, the four of them, Ian, Adrian, William, and Alexander, sat together, and Ian, with a heavy expression, said to the three of them, "Since we're going to the ruins tomorrow, I'm also going to tell you all the truth about the Mutant Beast's attack on the city, and after listening to it, you'll decide on your own whether or not you want to go to the ruins."
