CH.9 The Rescued Hetila
With the roar of the machinery, Hetila slowly opened her eyes.
"I'm here ... She sat up suddenly, and Millie almost knocked over the basin in her hand.
"Are you awake?" looked at him, and saw Haruka leaning against the right porthole of the cabin.
"Haruka?!Why are you here?!I'm here... She looked around in confusion, at the front of the cabin, where Foss was intently holding the rudder.
"I just wanted to ask you, why did you hang on the body of the monster and fall unconscious. ”
"Warcraft!?By the way, I was ordered to lead my subordinates to kill the female beasts that haunted the front line, but I was attacked by the demons. She stood up at once, but the wound caused her to stumble and fall into the cabin.
"Don't get excited, when I saved you, you only had one breath left, and although I treated you with healing magic, your body still wasn't completely healed. ”
"Did you save me? What about the demons before that, and the mother beast... ”
"A guy with a big sword, and a guy with a shield in armor?"
"That's right, it's those two demons who have beaten the dragon knight troops, who are the elite of the kingdom, and almost wiped them out. ”
"It's been a bit of a waste, but those guys, including the she-beast you mentioned, have all been wiped out by me. ”
"Really!?you're alone?!" Hetila was a little incredulous, although she knew that Haruka was very strong, but she didn't expect to be able to do this.
"Surprise or something, let's talk about it when we get to our destination. Haruka turned her head to look out of the porthole, it was already daylight outside, but even the day looked as dark as evening because the sky was covered with heavy dark clouds.
"Is this a destination? Is this an airship?"
"That's right, these two are my clients, and I was ordered to escort them through the demon-occupied areas in the central part of the country to the eastern continent. Haruka pointed to Millie on the side, and Fox at the helm.
"Client, are you an adventurer again?" said Hetila with a wry smile.
"It's just a matter of going with the flow, and I'm going back to Herti College as soon as possible. ”
"You will accept such a ridiculous task, but others are not willing to even get close to the front line, let alone crossing the war zone. ”
"Big sister, are you very familiar with Haruka?" Millie, who had not spoken on the side, finally couldn't help but speak.
"That's right, we're old acquaintances. ”
"Look at your uniform, are you the dragon knight of the kingdom?"
"That's right, I didn't expect you to know a lot at your young age. ”
"Then are you as powerful as Haruka?"
"No, no, no, my strength and her are not in the same dimension at all, after all, she is the Black Sword Ji of the entire continent of civilization. Hetila said with a smile.
"What?! Is she the super-powerful hero Black Sword Ji who saved the city of Wells and single-handedly rescued Princess Altinia in the Demon Invasion Campaign?"
"I'm pretty famous. Haruka brushed his nose with his hand a little shyly.
"Daddy!Daddy!!Did you hear that!!It's the Black Sword Hime!!No wonder it's so powerful!!Monsters aren't her opponents at all!!" Millie yelled excitedly, jumping around Forth as she kept jumping.
"It's such a faux pas, I didn't expect you to be such a big shot. Fox was visibly frightened, and even his hand at the helm let go of his hand in surprise, and the whole airship lost control and began to shake slightly.
"Don't get so excited, it's your job to take control of the ship. Haruka reminded.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. Foss regained his grip on the rudder. "I really didn't expect that a hero like you would come and escort us, we really... ”
"There's no need to exaggerate so much, I was worried that I didn't have a way to go to the east, but you actually helped me!"
"Daddy, Daddy, with the Black Sword Lord, no matter who the opponent is, we won't be afraid, right?" Millie shouted excitedly at Flusse.
"That's right, you've really found the strongest bodyguard. Hetila nudged Haruka and said with a smile.
"Great! so we'll be able to see Mommy soon!" Millie tugged at the corner of Foss's coat, the little girl had been curled up in the cabin in a state of trepidation since entering the battlefield, but now she looked like a completely different person.
"Thank you so much, Lord Kurokenhime, you are really an angel sent by heaven. "Foss looked very excited.
"Okay, okay, you can rest assured. Haruka waved his hand a little proudly.
"So let's talk about it first, can you show me the map? Hetila braced herself up and stood up.
"Ah, please, that's the map. Foss handed over the map.
"Where are we now?"
"Well, it should be near no man's land on the western side of the Surfara Kingdom. ”
"Here, it's close to the fallen Valency Fortress. Hetila frowned.
"Is there a problem?" Haruka stepped forward.
"In fact, not long after you left the fortress, the northern defense line was completely annihilated overnight, and there are reports that in addition to the large number of demonic beasts, there are also demons who also participated in the invasion, and the guy who is Thorath, after hearing that the demon king army is pressing, actually chose to withdraw overnight, as a hub linking the east and west of the entire continent, this fortress is of great significance, he, a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, gave up so easily. ”
"That bastard. ”
"The fortress fell so quickly that the continent was cut into two parts by the demons, and the garrison's defense line continued to shrink to the west. ”
"Such an important place was handed over to this guy, it seems that the emperor of the empire is also dizzy. ”
"There's no point in discussing this now, what I'm worried about is that we are very close to the fortress now, and the demons will definitely hoard a large number of troops here, once we meet the main force of the demon king army, I'm afraid this is not a good thing. Hetila pressed his hand heavily on the map......
