As the night grew darker, it was already pitch black outside the portholes, and the dim light in the cabin illuminated the small cabin. Foss stared intently at the compass-like instrument disc as he compared the course with the worn-out map in his hand.

Millie, the little girl, curled up on a sheepskin blanket at the back of the cabin, draped in a thin cotton cloth, looked like she was sleeping soundly.

"Where are you now?" Haruka walked softly to the front cockpit.

"We should be almost at the border of the guard, and we should be able to see the garrison's camp right away. ”

"That's right. Haruka approached the porthole, and from a distance, a faint glow of fire could be seen ahead. "Ahh ”

"Huh, can you see it already, shouldn't it be that fast?" Fox looked at the dashboard in front of him in confusion, and then looked at the map again.

"Look over there!" Haruka pointed to the porthole ahead, and as the ship moved forward, the distant fire became more and more obvious.

"Strange, the route I calculated should be correct, we should still be the closest line of defense... Before he could finish speaking, Haruka suddenly flew up the escalator, and then stood on the platform on the top of the airship.

"Boom-" There was a deafening loud bang accompanied by a violent shaking of the cabin.

"Daddy... Frightened, Millie staggered to Fox's side and hugged his leg tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Haruka will protect us. Foss gripped the rudder tightly, and through the porthole in front of him, he could clearly see a pale blue barrier looming over the front of the ship.

And outside the cabin, Haruka unfolded the enchantment and wrapped the airship. As the airship got closer and closer to the firelight ahead, a large number of stray bullets struck at them.

"This is ... "It turned out that the fires were not campfires in the garrison, but the flames of war on the battlefield. Countless demonic beasts are attacking the defenders below. The defeated soldiers fled in all directions, and countless fireballs in the sky rained down like a rain of fire, illuminating the otherwise dark night sky bright red.

"The human army is such a miserable picture ... Haruka shook his head helplessly, but fortunately, the demons' attention was focused on the defenders on the ground, and now might be the best time to break through this area! Haruka thought about it, and lowered his head and shouted into the cabin: "Foss! Find a way to avoid these fireballs in the air, let's rush over in one go!"

"Okay! I'll do my best! Hold on!" the skiff started to speed through the fireball rain. Soon broke through the area of engagement. Watching the firelight fade away, Haruka and Foss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Haruka lifted the barrier around him and slowly climbed out of the cabin.

"Thank you. Fox took some water from his side and handed it to Haruka.

"These are nothing. ”

"Miss Haruka, do you not only know healing magic, but also enchantment magic?"

"Well, I learned it from a big bastard who wasn't very friendly. ”

"Well, that's really reassuring, to have a powerful adventurer like you to protect us. ”

"If you praise us, let's wait until we reach our destination safely. ”

"Also, after watching the scene just now, do I feel that humanity is about to end?"

"This... I know that too. ”

"If the mark is correct, the defenders' position should be ten kilometers west of the Wallency fortress, but the place where the battle just now is at least nearly a hundred kilometers away, which means that the defenders have been routed for so many distances in this short period of time. ”

"Indeed, the strength of human beings is too small in front of the demonic beasts, how long can the entire continent support it if it goes on like this. ”

"Hopefully things will be better on the Albanian side than here. Foss touched Millie, who was shivering.

"Sleep a little longer, little girl, the night is still long. Haruka crouched down and said to her.

"I miss my mom... ”

"It's okay, when you wake up and your eyes open, you can see your mother. Haruka put her arm around her, and carefully pressed a careful magic array on her body, Millie suddenly became very sleepy, and slowly fell asleep in Haruka's arms.

"Miss Haruka, you can rest for a while, I'll wake you up if there's a situation. ”

"No, now is not the time to sleep, in order not to reveal where we are, I can't activate the perceptual magic, so I can't grasp the situation outside, and I may encounter situations anytime and anywhere. ”

"Well, that's hard work for you. Fox reconfirmed the information on the dashboard and the map in his hand, "If we can get through the road safely, we should be able to reach the eastern continent tomorrow morning." ”

"So, can you show me the map?"

"Give. ”

"Is this the blue line our route?" Haruka unfolded the map that Foss handed over.

"Yes, that's right. ”

"Is this the Valency Fortress, which means we're going to bypass it on the south side and keep going southeast?"

"Yes, because the demons are invading from the north side, the probability of encountering the demons on the south side may be smaller. ”

"I see. Haruka gave him back the map......
