Chapter 7: The Beginning of the Puzzle Game

With its dark skies and ravaged earth, this planet, devastated by human beings, can no longer be described as beautiful. How long will it take for all this damage to the planet to go away? This question is clearly not in the minds of the rulers of this era, who use quality weapons without hesitation, without considering the effects of weapons, so that the starlight climate is seriously altered, and the situation is becoming more serious day by day.

Even so, the war in this world continues, tens of thousands of cities affected by the flames, and battles between different principalities are staged on a daily basis. Now it is this kind of battlefield that the two of them are heading to, this time in a war waged by the Thunder Emperor who had sent someone to capture the night sky, and the enemy was the Holy King's army.

Naturally very familiar with these two names, Rain, is very familiar with the future, after all, in the near future, the Holy King is one of the only continuing cultures of the Belka civilization, and at the same time, Rain is also familiar with the affairs of the Holy King himself, because the Overlord Claus will always talk to him about his childhood anecdotes with the Holy King when he goes on expeditions.

However, even if the overlord beautifies the Holy King himself, the place where the two armies fought must have been an endless hell of charcoal. Despite not having personally seen the rain on the battlefield, and having witnessed countless scenes like this, the war was brutal and merciless in the end.

"It's here. ”

The night sky that flew ahead stopped on a hill, and the rain behind her, carrying her luggage, stopped. The two of them watched together at the foot of the hill in a smoky city that fell silent, apparently the city had been lost.

"Don't worry, Lily herself is fine. Silver had already joined her and was now waiting for us to leave the confines of the battle between the two armies as soon as we arrived. ”

"No wonder you slowed down halfway through. ”

"After all, you are sick, and I have taken good care of you. ”

"It's so gentle. ”

"You're welcome. ”

Night and rain chatted like this, and walked into this city with a heavy atmosphere, and the whole city lost its vitality due to the trampling of the army, and people looked at their former dwellings with empty eyes. No one will be happy because of this war, and even the victorious side will definitely lose more than it gains.

Yu and Yetian originally thought about whether they would enter the city or spend a lot of effort to deceive the guards guarding the town, but they didn't expect that the only people who stayed to defend the city were ordinary soldiers, and there were not even those who had the qualifications of a little bit of demon guides. The two of them infiltrated into the city with great ease, and although Yu was surprised by the weak defenses, he did not delve into it.

Soon the two of them found Lily and Silver's current location through the connection between the Book of Night and the Silver, and the two came to a stop in front of a bombed-out church and waited for the people inside to come out.

"The hosts. ”

Soon Silver came out of the hollow corner of the church, followed by a young girl whose clothes were covered in ash. The girl's blonde hair was still bright even if it was dyed with gray dust, and the tired face that appeared behind them finally regained a little bit of brilliance when they saw the rain.

"Saved...... I thought the next time we saw each other would be on the dusk road. ”

"Coincidentally, I had the same idea a few days ago. ”

Lily stepped forward to hug this good sister in the night, and Lily occupied an important place in her circle of friends.

"Yetian, who is behind you?"

After hugging for a while, Lily noticed the rain as she grew up, and of course she couldn't see through the rain at a glance like Yetian did. After all, in her mind, there was the preconceived notion that Nagase Rain was a child who was nearly five years younger than herself, and no matter how good she imagined, she would never have thought that the teenager in front of her who was with her was Rain.

"I'm the chief of the Wind Cloud Knights, and I haven't seen Sister Lily for a long time. ”

Rain pretended to salute Lily, and several questions popped up on Lily's head when she heard him.

"Alas...... The Knights of the Storm is the name of my Guardian Knights, and of course this chief was added by this shameless guy. In addition, he is really Nagase, so you can understand that he grew up because of some kind of accident, or you can use your skills to check the dragon pulse later. ”

Seeing the smug appearance of the rain, Yetian reluctantly explained to Lily, and after listening to Yetian's words, Lily curiously circled around the person who was holding the rain, and carefully observed him.

"It seems to be a little similar. ”

"If it's a fake wrap-up for Nagase, or a strong version, you deserve it. ”

"Okay, let's stop advertising and get down to business. ”

The night had interrupted the rain and the man who had grabbed Lily hurried into the church, there was something to discuss before they left the city.

"And what's wrong with Lily Suzaku?"

When Yetian opened the door and saw that the mountains directly threw out the focus of this visit, Lily's letter had written an intelligence report about Suzaku to tell Yetian, and asked her to save herself from this battle circle.

"That's a good question, do you know that this city belongs to the side of the city?"

Lily's way of answering questions with questions made the night a little uncomfortable, but she was eager to know what happened to her enemy, and it was also a matter of her safety in the future.

"The city belongs to the Terrible. ”

Before she asks Lily to reveal the truth, her faithful servant Silver takes the lead in bringing the answer to everyone.

"Yes, the Thunder Emperor was originally confidently preparing for the attack of the Holy King's Army. After all, this time they had a new weapon and a strong knight with a hundred enemies, but as you can see, the defeat was like a mountain, and the city was breached in less than a day. ”

Lily's words seemed to have nothing to do with it, but Rain had already guessed the relevance of the matter, and since he could relate to it, it was impossible for the night sky next to him not to think about it.

"Just like when I was in the city of Chances, did Suzaku bring a new type of weapon to join the Thunder Emperor's camp?"

"Binguo, exactly. I also found out that she was moving between the principalities, giving them special technology and armament, which gradually turned the fighting between the nations into a state of instability, which spread the flames of war throughout Belka. Of course, I say that it looks like she, a woman, is making the whole world a mess, which is very ridiculous. It's just that I really have the feeling that there is an organization hidden in the back of the world that controls the situation of the entire continent. ”

"I think that's true, I'm afraid CROW is really manipulating the war between countries behind the scenes. As for the operation and reasons for the incident, it will be possible to know it only after further investigation. ”

Rain agrees with Lily's point of view, because in his opinion, with the technological power and strong personal strength of "CROW", it is really unscrupulous in this era. Unless all the forces unite against them, they are truly invulnerable.

"Then why is this city so close to being captured with the support of Suzaku himself. ”

Yetian raised a question, and this question was the focus of the highlights.

"She vanished, and just as I tried to get closer to investigate her, the person who had just happened to meet her turned into a red point of light and disappeared into the air. I also thought of her saying things like, "Oh no, why is the eagle dead?" ”

Lily's words make the night sky and the rain face face face each other, and I didn't expect Lily to bring such a shocking intelligence report to the two of them. According to this information, the death of the eagle will cause the four gods who follow him to disappear, just like the relationship between the demon and the wizard.

"So I'm free?"

Yetian was baffled by this unexpected state, and he couldn't even touch the rain that had been fighting "CROW" for so many years.

At this time, Woo suddenly woke up to the "strategy method" mentioned by the next generation of opium. Is this related to the so-called strategy? Is there any specific condition that needs to be put together for a person who deals with "CROW"?

These two questions surfaced in the sea of rain's minds, and this time back to this era has an extra layer of value, and the rain believes that the "strategy" that Yu said must exist, so the next thing is to find the "strategy" in this era.

"Sister Lily, Yetian, I have some information I want to share with you. ”

Rain decides to tell the story of his future fight with Duck, and this day will be a decisive day. The survival of "CROW" will be affected by the efforts of the three of them on this day, and they will never have imagined that their conclusion on this day will save the entire civilization of Belka and Midcherda.
