"The Nanyang army has arrived in Adam City, and the branch in the city can't resist it, and has safely evacuated through the teleportation array. ”

"The branch of the Academy of Magic has been captured, Dean Green has been captured, and his fate is unknown. ”

"The Imperial Magician team has already occupied Nishizawa City, and there is no trace of the branch leader among the escaped magicians, so something may have happened to them. ”

……

News from the front line reached Sophia's ears one after another, each of which signaled that the final threat was one step closer. This former aristocratic lady had to open the map of the continent with her own hands, marking each fallen city and chapter. The lines of attack of the two enemy teams were already clear: the Imperial team headed west, and the South Ocean team went north. They will eventually converge in the hundred miles of wilderness east of Mercenary City, and at this rate, Mercenary City will face a final battle in less than a month.

Sophia sighed, closed the map, walked out of the top-floor office, came to the house where Meryl was "held", and knocked softly on the door.

"Come in. A soft female voice came from the room.

"Miss Meryl, excuse me. Sophia said apologetically.

"Just call me Senior Sister. Meryl smiled, pulled Sophia to sit down, and offered a cup of tea.

As Sophia was thinking about how to speak, Meryl sat down and said, "I was wondering how long you would come to me when you came." ”

"You know everything?"

Meryl nodded: "It's going on outside, and it's hard for me not to hear it." But I want to ask you a question, do you really think Lin Qian has ...... Gone?"

"Senior sister, do you have any news of Lin?" Sophia suddenly felt hope in her heart when she heard this.

Meryl knew that she would be wrong, but she couldn't bear to cut off her hope, and explained: "I don't know if Lin Qian is dead or alive, but judging from the results of my fight with him so many times, even if he is indeed in danger, he will arrange countermeasures earlier, not to mention that he will not rest assured that a big beauty like you is here." ”

Sophia's face was slightly red, and it made sense to listen to what the other party said, after all, Sister Xiaoyi and the others had not come back from looking for Lin, and they couldn't confirm what his situation was now.

"So we just have to try to do our own thing, maybe at the critical moment, Lin Qian doesn't know where he will jump out of nowhere. Meryl was older after all, so she comforted Sophia in a few words, and seeing that she was no longer so frowning, she asked without waiting for her to think about it, "What are you looking for me this time?"

"Oh, I want to ask Senior Sister to be the garrison officer of our Mercenary City, I don't know if Senior Sister is willing?"

"Aren't you the best candidate?" Meryl wondered, "I've heard Lin Qian compliment you on your commanding abilities. ”

"Really?" Sophia felt sweet in her heart, and then said helplessly, "But the opponent is also a few demigod-level strength now, and I still need to fight with all my strength when I really meet the opponent, and I really can't care about the command." ”

Meryl nodded: "It's okay, I agreed to this matter, who made me his senior sister?"

Sophia may have been in a good mood, and finally made a joke: "If Lin really comes back this time, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish." ”

"Wish?" Meryl herself didn't know what she wanted.

"I don't believe that he was not moved by your senior sister that night, if it weren't for Long'er listening, he would definitely not give up. After Sophia finished speaking, she walked out with a smile, leaving Meryl with an embarrassed face.

"What a vinegar jar......," Meryl blushed and came to her senses. That day, my father wanted to go to woo Lin Qian by himself, but I didn't expect to be heard clearly by others, but I just ...... That's not what she wanted. Although Lin Qian is very attractive to these little girls, she is already in her 30s and is not interested in that little man, and more importantly, she does not like men.

A few days later, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King came back from the Dragon Valley dejectedly, and it turned out that the Dragon Lord bowed his head and remained silent after learning the news of Lin Qian's death, and he couldn't shirk it for a long time. The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers was a little anxious, and his tone of voice was a little impulsive, but the Dragon Lord took advantage of his anger and recalled all the clansmen, and even the dragon mercenary group led by Ysera, who had been staying in the mercenary city, was also called away.

"Is there any news from Long'er?" asked Sophia hurriedly.

"No," the Phantasm King shook his head, "but I vaguely heard that the old dragon was partially rejected when he used the dragon secret technique to recall his people. ”

"It's me who rejected the Dragon Lord!" Raymond, who had broken half of his arm, suddenly walked in and said with a human salute, "Lin is my friend, even if something happens to him, I will protect everything he left behind for him, I am different from other people." ”

Sophia returned the salute and said solemnly: "It's an honor for Lin to have a friend like you. ”

"It's a pity that our strength is still a little bit worse. "The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers knows very well the strength of the Imperial Magician and the Nanyang Army, plus those four demigod-level figures, his own side now has an overwhelming advantage in the number of mercenaries, but the duel between the masters is probably still not an opponent.

The three of them were silent for a while, and at this moment, a petite figure flew up directly from downstairs, she was veiled, with snow-white hair, quiet and indifferent like a little fairy.

"Sha'er?" said Sophia, who was agitated, put her arm around her thin shoulders and asked, "Why did you come so soon?

Salantis nodded slightly: "Met halfway." ”

"Halfway?" Sophia wondered, did she know something was going on here?

"This is my home. ”

Others may not understand this sentence, but Sophia, who has been with her for a while, understands. What Salandis wanted to say was that she didn't know the news of Lin Qian's accident, but went home normally, and ran into Boris on the way, so she rushed back alone, but this sentence also showed her attitude of fighting side by side with everyone.

"It's good to be back. Sophia pulled her affectionately, completely devoid of the hostile attitude of two years ago. Sha'er's child is too painful, her weak and hoarse voice exudes a sickly beauty, but her attitude is very distinct, this contrast not only attracts Lin Qian, but also makes several sisters care for her.

Seeing this, the Phantom King and Raymond walked downstairs with amusement, leaving room for the two sisters to talk alone.

He ...... Is it really dead?" asked Sarandis with wide eyes, her eyes being her only window to show her expression, the rest of the place was covered by a veil.

Sophia knew that she would ask this, so she hesitated and said: "No, Lin is just life and death unknown, I believe he will not easily leave us alone, besides, Sister Xiaoyi and they haven't come back yet, we have no way of knowing what Lin encountered." Sha'er, do you believe Lin will die?"

If it was the previous Salantis, she would have replied a long time ago: "Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with the facts." But now she understands the meaning of Sophia's words, which is nothing more than seeking a psychological comfort, just to be able to live with peace of mind every day.

"A fact that has not been seen is not a fact, unless he dies in front of me. Salantis was a clever use of her previous assertions, but they were just right here. This sentence does not seem to be contrary to intentions and false, but also makes Sophia full of hope, the so-called ability to chat is a technology, and it is an art to be proficient in chatting in your own way.

Sure enough, Sophia no longer bothered about Lin Qian's current situation, and began to care about the battle situation they were about to face: "The other party has Ofashid who is proficient in puppet magic, Noir who is proficient in space magic, Curtis, the third elder of the elven clan, and Aqir whose strength has stepped into the demigod level, it is difficult for the two of us to win." It would be nice if Elena and Fradai were here......"

Salantis listened silently, she didn't know how to take over the conversation at this time, maybe choosing to listen could give the other party some catharsis.

After another ten days, all the mercenaries had been assembled, and Meryl was in charge of deployment and command, and a temporary defensive fortress was built outside the mercenary city. At the teleportation array, there was a continuous flash of light, which was the withdrawal of the branch personnel in each city. In order to preserve their viability, all cities chose to retreat strategically after being breached, in order to concentrate their forces on the final decisive battle.

On this day, there was a roar of beasts from the passage of the valley, and then the people of Mercenary City saw thousands of elves riding beasts coming, led by the queen of the elves, and then the current elven elder Cynthia.

Sophia and Salandis took "Luan" out of the city to greet them, but the queen sighed a little sadly when she saw it: "The last time I sat on it with Lin Gongzi, it was two years ago, but I didn't expect him to be uncertain now." ”

Sophia wanted to cry when she heard this, but as the backbone of the guild today, she couldn't be so weak, so she endured her compassion and said, "Your Majesty can choose to lend a helping hand at this time, and the little girl is grateful." On behalf of the Magic Guild, I solemnly swear that you and your descendants will be the Guild's friends forever!"

The queen accepted the salute calmly, and she rushed to the aid of the future of the entire elven race, and she could indeed afford it. She glanced at Sarandis, picked up Sophia, and said, "Actually, my dispatch this time is not all because of Lin Gongzi. On the one hand, it is for my little princess, and on the other hand, the elven rebels have not yet been cleared, so I take this opportunity to clean up the portal and completely erase the remnants. ”

The two talked a few more words, and Salantis said respectfully, "Mother, please get in the car." ”

The queen smiled slightly, touched Salantis's head and muttered, "Good boy......" A few years ago, how could she have imagined that the indifferent little princess who was silent all day would become like this now. When she left here two years ago, the scene of Sarandis kneeling was still vivid. All of this is thanks to Lin Qian, they are now more like a mother and daughter, a pair of mother and daughter with feelings.
