……

"Damn, why did you just run into the time of retreat!" Frey looked into the distance and frowned.

When the Crusaders had just abandoned the strong walls and fortifications to retreat, it was a good opportunity for the monsters that happened to attack it.

"Joan of Arc, you can help Captain Anna up first." Frey commanded, looked at Joan of Arc in the distance, and quickly helped the trance-stricken Anna to walk towards the docked battleship.

"Hurry up! Hurry up with all of them! Seeing the monsters attacking from afar getting closer and closer, Frey, who kept urging the soldiers to board the ship and retreat, shouted.

I saw that in the darkness in the distance, the sky and the earth were all black and oppressive monsters.

On the ground, a tidal wave of ghouls, a meatball-like butcher, and an evil warrior whose eyes glow red in the darkness.

In the sky, among the fierce beasts with a handful of red hair on their heads, many small bone dragons also appeared.

It's not like the news from the royal capital at all, whether it's the number or the type, it's not weaker than the previous one.

And it also arrived almost an hour faster than in the intelligence.

Frey watched as the soldiers fully boarded the battleship, and was the last to board the battleship, taking out the detonating device from the previous reservoir interception.

But it didn't detonate right away.

"Jiawen, you come here to take this as a farewell gift to T Fortress and a funeral gift for the dead soldiers."

"Deputy Head Severey!" Gavin gratefully took the grip-like detonator from Frey's hand and held it tightly in his hand.

"Boom!" As Jiawen pressed the detonating device in his hand, the ground shook violently.

At the reservoir interception on the south side of the fortress, stone chips were scattered under the action of explosives.

The water level of the reservoir, which is several meters above the usual water level, also leaks down with the sudden appearance of irregular large mouths.

Rolling towards the low-lying T Fortress.

"Uhh Ugh! ”

A flash flood that suddenly erupted from the side broke away the army of monsters approaching T Fortress.

The smaller ghouls and the skeleton warriors were swept away by the flood that surged several meters high.

The butcher, who could have supported the flood for a while, was also hit by the "friendly forces" who came along the flood and was washed away with him.

"Uhh

The monsters that were not swept away by the flood also retreated.

But the monsters that continued to pour in unknowingly in the back squeezed again, all of which squeezed those monsters who survived the catastrophe into the torrent again.

"Haha! Brutes! Go to hell! Gavin on the battleship laughed out loud as he watched the monsters on the ground in the distance being washed away by the flood and barked like water dogs.

But Frey on the side, seeing the large number of wing-shaped monsters chasing from the sky, still chasing after them under the suppression of the battleship's anti-air firepower, still had serious eyes.

"Prepare for battle!" Frey drew his sword, stood at the end of the battleship, and let out a roar.

"Yes!" With the sound of neat responses behind him, the sound of drawing swords also sounded behind Frey.

Jiawen, who detonated the reservoir with his own hands, looked at the wing-shaped monster attacking from afar, and gritted his teeth even more excitedly, "Come on!" Brutes! ”

But Frey always felt that something was missing.

"By the way, Captain Anna." Frey looked at it for a while, only to realize that Anna was absent from the battle for the first time.

When I looked back, I found that the soldiers who had drawn their swords could not see Anna's figure, and they were no longer as fearless as before, with a somewhat worried look on their faces.

Frey was not worried about the soldiers, but he was very worried about the safety of the ships.

The small bone dragon in the distance, which is huge, although it is called "small", is only for the real ancient dragon.

Compared to the red-haired beasts next to him, it was almost the same as ants and beetles.

A monster of that size was enough to wreak havoc on any part of the battleship's machinery.

Now that Anna can't participate in the war, I'm afraid that the battleship's own protective shield alone will not be able to withstand the monster's attack.

The shield was breached, and Frey was not worried about the soldiers getting into a chaotic battle, but only that the small bone dragon with its large size would destroy the propulsion system of the battleship.

I am afraid that the battleship that will lose power and be forced to dock in place will fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

After the flood subsides, the monsters chasing on the ground will also surround the Crusaders.

At that time, the Crusaders, who had lost their walls and fortresses, would surely die.

As for the rescue sent by the Holy Land, Frey really didn't dare to hope for it.

"Joan of Arc, where is Captain Anna?" Frey searched, only Joan of Arc.

"Lord Frey, the monster soldiers should be able to handle this, so let Anna-sama rest and rest." Joan of Arc said reluctantly when she saw that Frey wanted to go to Anna again.

"No, I'm not worried about the soldiers, but if the protective shield of the battleship is breached, I'm afraid that those small bone dragons will pose a threat to the battleship, and if the battleship loses power in such a place, it won't be a monster."

"Huh! Then go quickly, Mistress Frey, Mistress Anna is in the command room. Hearing Frey's words, Joan of Arc became nervous.

"Then the operational command here will be handed over to you first."

"Yes! Mistress Frey. ”

……

"Click" Frey, who came to the command room, twisted the door open.

But he didn't see Anna sitting in her usual captain's seat.

Pushing the door open, I saw Anna bent down and sitting in the corner with her bent legs in her arms.

His eyes stared blankly at the ground slanting downward.

Didn't even realize that someone had entered.

If it was usual, Anna's super perceptual ability, even if someone walked through the partition wall, could feel it, but now it is so dull.

"Captain Anna?" Frey walked slowly and tried to call out to Anna.

Anna didn't answer, only stiffly glanced sideways at Frey, then turned back and continued to look at the ground diagonally below.

"Captain Anna, the battle is about to begin." Seeing that Anna didn't react, Frey half-crouched in front of Anna and said a word.

"Hmm." Anna didn't even lift her head this time, and whispered in response.

"Commander Anna, I know you're having a hard time right now, but if the battleship's protective shield is broken through and the battleship's propulsion system is destroyed by the small bone dragon, it's going to be over."

"Hmm." Anna whispered again.

"Captain Anna, what's wrong with you!" Seeing that Anna was still the same, Frey grabbed Anna's shoulders with both hands and shook it.

Anna, who was shaken by Frey and raised her head, suddenly hugged Frey, and tears burst out of her eyes.

"Whew, Frey, I'm so tired, I really want to take a break."

"Captain Anna, I know you're tired, but can you hold on for a while, you're the strongest in the Holy Land, and the current crusaders really need your protection." Suddenly hugged by Anna, Frey kept stroking Anna's head with one hand, like coaxing a child.

"Nope! I've had enough! What Holy Land is the strongest! Obviously, I have been training hard since I was a child to become stronger, just to protect what I want to protect!

But it never held!

Uncle is gone, mom is gone, and now even this annoying stinky uncle is gone!

What the hell am I for! Who's the strongest!

Whining...... Someone like me who can't hold anything! How could anyone need it! ”

"I ...... I need you! Seeing Anna, who has always been extremely strong, holding herself, sobbing with red eyes in front of her, completely exposing the weakest and softest side in front of herself, Frey's stimulated desire to protect made Frey's throat move and swallow a mouthful of saliva, her mind was hot, and her lips pursed, and she kissed Anna's soft lips uncontrollably.

"Hmm!" Anna, who was gagged, also opened her eyes unexpectedly wide, and was speechless by Fu.
