Chapter Eighty-Five: The Smoke of Gunpowder in the Valley
"Knock knock—" There was a dull drumming in the distance, and Ellie got to her feet dizzily, and the rumbling screams of killing reached her ears. The girl looked around in confusion, it was a green meadow, and it was from here that she had just woken up.
"Where's this? Didn't I compete in the academy? The girl touched her forehead, her head was still a mess, she thought about everything she had been through, and slowly, she finally understood why she was here.
"Seems to be what Dean Bill said?" Ellie's thoughts gradually became clearer, and she remembered that Dean Bill at the time said that Osford had the only ancient teleportation array in the whole continent and something like that, as if it was used to teleport everyone to the mission location, but where was this place.
The girl looked around and saw that she was the only one here, and that the rumbling noise around her had caught the girl's attention.
Ellie struggled to stand up, perhaps from a coma for a long time, and her body was a little stiff. Climbing over the hillside, the girl came to the cliff, and below was a huge valley, from which the sound came from. The girl poked her head out, and the scene in front of her made her cover her mouth.
It was a war, and it was a one-sided war.
Where is this and why is the war going on? Ellie hadn't heard of a recent war going on in any country, and the unthinkable was happening before her eyes. The girl looked carefully, the two sides on the field were wearing uniform armor, the steps were magnificent, and the soldiers were strong, which was a strong soldier who was the absolute first front no matter which country it was placed in. And on the other side, unlike those uniform soldiers, they wore mottled equipment, like a ragtag army. Some of them even had incomplete armor, some only had a pair of leather pants, some only had a leather coat, and they had a variety of weapons, and even some shovels and pickaxes, which made the girls feel that they were not soldiers, but more like a group of ordinary peasants, who fought with the powerful soldiers who were uniformly dressed.
This war can no longer be called a war, but a massacre. It lasted less than half an hour, and the one-sided scene made the battle like a peasant cutting wheat, and the ragtag army was quickly dispersed, followed by a chase and escape, and the ragtag army that handed over the back to the enemy was brutally slaughtered.
Ellie froze, she had never watched a war so realistically, the suffocation of being on the battlefield terrified her, the murderous soldiers made her tremble, so many people were killed in a short period of time, countless lives were lost, the smell of blood filled the valley, the earth was dyed red, and the corpses were everywhere.
The deafening sound was no longer a roar of battle, but a miserable wail, and the sound tragically irritated the girl's eardrums.
"Vomit-" Ellie finally couldn't help but start vomiting, the excitement in the face of her was too great, and her stomach couldn't stop spasming when she came back to her senses, maybe because of fear, maybe because of blood. The girl was a little glad she hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning because she was a little nervous, otherwise she would have vomited it all. The girl kept retching, yellow bile kept gushing out of her throat, and the violent twitching of her stomach made the girl's beautiful face distort a little.
The girl trembled and lay on the ground, the scene of the slaughter could not stop hovering in her mind, she did not dare to look up again, she was afraid to see those who died without looking at her, those who died tragically with round eyes, staring at her, as if telling this tragic life. She turned over and lay on the ground, looking at the blue sky, only the spotless blue could make the panic in her heart less, she hoped that what she had just seen was a dream, as long as she woke up tomorrow, she would go back to the day the game started, no one was slaughtered, no war, everything was just a dream.
After a long time, the girl felt better. But she heard the sound of the grass, which frightened the girl, she sat up, and suddenly saw a hand sticking out of the grass without warning, and the girl immediately became vigilant. Then, with that hand, he pulled to the side, and several men in military uniforms appeared in front of the girl from behind the grass that had been torn apart.
Ellie recognized the outfit as the group of soldiers who had slaughtered the villagers' army just now, but there was no blood on the bodies of the people in front of her, so she thought that she had not participated in the battle just now.
Ellie was a little scared, did they come to hurt themselves, and they were killed by them like those people in the valley? The girl clenched her fists, she was no longer the ignorant little girl she was at the beginning, and she also had a very strong force.
The soldier who walked in front should be their leader, he looked at the girl's vigilant appearance and was not angry, after all, if a girl is still smug in this forest, it is not far from death, he looked at Ellie, and his mouth moved: "Hello, is it Miss Alicia?" ”
Ellie froze, she wondered why they knew her name.
"Rest assured, we have no ill will." The man looked at the girl without letting down his guard at all and continued, "We are soldiers of the Bradas Empire, and we have been ordered by Empress Fiona to invite the young lady to our army, and the Empress said that you are her sister. ”
With that, he took out a talisman, which Ellie recognized, because she had one of her own. There were only three pieces of this amulet, and it was made by her favorite sister Mia. One piece was given to Sister Mia herself, and the other two were given to Sister Fiona and herself.
"Female ...... Queen? "Ellie froze, when did her sister become empress? The sisters never told her. And this is already Bradas, the land of mountains, which is quite far from Osford.
"Yes, that's right, Empress Fiona is the person we respect the most."
The soldier looked yearning, and it seemed that he really admired Fiona.
"If you don't have anything else to do, come with us, and we'll escort you to our barracks."
"Good...... All right. ”
Ellie felt that she still had to go, because it might really be her sister who was looking for her. She knew that her sisters were powerful, but she had no idea that Sister Fiona would become the Empress of Bradas in the Land of Mountains.
Ellie left the cliff under the escort of several soldiers, and although they were a meter away from Ellie, the girl did not give up her guard until the soldiers led her to a very luxurious tent. This is the barracks, and there are marching tents every few meters around it, forming a huge position, and wrapping a huge tent in the middle in a closed circle. The huge tent in front of the girl was twice as large as the ones around her, and the soldiers brought her to a stop when she was five meters away from the tent.
"That's the tent used by the Empress, and you can't get close to it, so please Miss Alicia go in by yourself, the Empress is waiting for you inside."
After saying that, he gave a military salute and left.
