"This is finally my chance to get promoted......

- Silver-haired paladin

……

Frey lifted his head and looked at the behemoth above his head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Crusader's airship?"

The bottom of the huge airship in the sky is adorned with a large red cross, and the airship is propelled not by the most advanced turbojet engines, but by the four rotating propellers on the left and right sides of the hull.

Instead of the anti-gravity device used in the Knights of the Round Table's strategic air ships, the airship is controlled by the buoyancy provided by a streamlined balloon above it.

If there was no large red cross at the bottom of the airship, Frey would not have recognized it as a Crusader flying machine, and would even have been mistaken for an outdated civilian airship.

But the monsters around a few people didn't care what was in the sky or what it represented, in their eyes, there were only a few pieces of fresh meat that kept bleeding bright red blood, and saliva was constantly dripping from their open mouths.

"Whew!"

After a brief pause, a hybrid monster rushed at Frey's again.

This action made all the layers of monsters that surrounded Frey move, and those who sprinted on the ground and jumped into the air all pounced on Frey and the others from all directions.

This overwhelming offensive also made several people frown.

Knowing that the dawn was just around the corner, this last dark night, no matter how dark it was, in the cold, the flame of hope sown in the hearts of several people had already been ignited, illuminating a looming way out in the boundless darkness.

One more breath, one more second, that's the key to salvation.

Several people also leaned back to back, holding the consciousness of fighting to the death, clenching the weapons in their hands.

"Boom!"

But before the two sides could make contact, a thunderbolt slashed from the sky, slashing in front of Frey, and a puff of black smoke rose in front of Frey.

The black smoke cleared, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Frey.

With waist-length red hair, silver-white armor, white inner thighs over boots under the skirt, and silver spears in his hands, Frey could even smell the scent of roses.

"Anna?"

Hearing Frey's voice, Anna didn't look back, not even answering a word.

I saw Anna spread her hands, her head slightly raised, and slowly floated into the air, wrapped in golden holy light, her long black hair and white skirt were windless.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! ……”

Suddenly thunder and lightning fell from the sky, constantly splitting into the crowd of mixed monsters.

The hybrid monsters that were struck by lightning were all scorched black and emitted black smoke.

This heavenly punishment-like attack also made the originally menacing hybrid monster scream in panic, running left and right, completely not daring to approach a few people for half a step.

One by one, the crusaders wearing silver armor and armbands marked with red crosses also jumped off the airship one after another, and landed on the ground with a "bang", kicking up puffs of smoke and dust on the ground.

"One team, two teams! You are responsible for going to the lord's treasury to rescue the belongings, three teams and four teams! You are responsible for going to the City Guard headquarters to rescue equipment and supplies, and the rest of the brigade is free to move freely and sweep away the monsters of Fortress X as soon as possible! Joan of Arc, with her blue hair, commanded the crowd.

With that, he also pulled out the silver alloy twin knives on his back and rushed into the monsters that were frightened by the lightning strike and fled in all directions.

A group of Crusaders also acted separately, led by the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th brigades with a direction of action, radiating through Fortress X.

"Where's Olaf?" Anna looked back and didn't see Olaf.

"Olaf...... He's dead. Frey's expression was a little solemn.

Hearing this answer, Anna's expression did not change, but calmly took out a cigarette from the small tin box, put it in her mouth and lit it.

"Whew......" Anna was obviously much heavier than usual when she spit out her cigarette this time, and her eyebrows moved slightly.

It took two more puffs before he stopped a crusader soldier beside him, "You take a few men to retrieve Olaf's body." ”

"What! Centurion he ......"

"Hurry up, dead is dead." Anna interrupted the crusader soldier, still with a haughty expression with her chin slightly raised and her gaze slightly lowered.

"Yes! Captain! The soldier didn't wait long, and shouted to a few soldiers passing by, "You guys come with me!" ”

……

As night fell, and after a period of "rescue" and sweeping, a large number of Crusader soldiers also returned to the airship.

In the command room of the airship, Moda with round-framed eyes read out the information he had organized.

"Lord Anna, in today's battle of Fortress X, according to the data presented by the various brigades, 275 soldiers were killed, 603 were wounded, the casualty rate was 22%, the wounded rate was 50%, and the centurion of the thirteenth brigade Olaf was killed, and the body has been recovered.

However, he successfully 'rescued' a large number of gold bars and silver coins from the treasury, and a large number of battle weapons and equipment from the city guard headquarters, and the monsters of Fortress X were completely destroyed.

In addition, a large number of hybrid monsters were captured, and three living creatures were also unexpectedly harvested......"

Anna sat in her chair, the ash of her cigarette hadn't bounced off for a long time, and she was obviously looking ahead in a daze.

Moda, who grew up watching Anna, certainly knew what this performance meant to Anna, who was not good at expressing feelings.

He also stopped summing up, "Anna-sama? ”

"Huh? What's wrong? Anna came to her senses.

"Lord Anna, sacrifice is inevitable for the sake of the final victory, don't think so much."

"Well, I know that." In the absence of outsiders, Anna also let out a long sigh, but after a while she returned to her original appearance, "Take me to meet Frey, judging from his previous breath, although it is weak, I can already feel that power." ”

"Yes, Anna-sama." Moda then put down the information in his hand and walked out of the command room with Anna.

"Captain Anna......" Seeing Anna walking towards him, Frey wanted to get up to greet him.

But as soon as her body moved, Anna stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on her chest, "You still lie down obediently, I just want to see the power in your body." ”

"Yes, Captain." Frey also stretched out a hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, he dialed up a blue energy.

"The power of the Great Sky!" Moda on the side looked at the blue energy of Frey's fingertips and his eyes widened.

Anna's eyes also opened slightly, but soon returned to their original deep gaze, which was impenetrable.

And in the far corner, the silver-haired paladin, who had torn off the Knights Templar's expression on his armband, looked at the blue energy in Frey's hand, his eyes were almost glowing, and his mouth was curved into a greedy smile, but soon the ecstasy in his heart was suppressed without the people around him noticing.

He didn't know what the power of this blue energy was, but as a paladin, he knew the "power of the Great Sky Liulan" in Moda's mouth, which was the forbidden force of nature in the Holy Land.

Someone who discovers the owner of the Force of Nature and reports it to the Holy Land?

Originally, the silver-haired paladins felt that they were bound to be kicked out by the Templars, so they had to join the Crusaders.

But this unexpected discovery made him laugh out loud, not to mention making up for his mistakes, it is possible to be directly promoted to the rank of chief.
