Under the sun, the sky is clear.

If we do not count the two sides from the formation of the army, this "agreed" battle did not even last an hour, and it quickly came to an end - blocked by trenches and flames, fired by rows of bright spears in turn, and bombarded by the light swords falling from the sky......

The elven warriors, who had not been able to cross the flames until the last moment, were slaughtered in a one-sided manner without being able to confront the enemy face to face.

It's just an hour, but it looks like a lifetime... The same is true for the Azorean elves, for the soldiers of the shooting army.

In a trance, when the command sounded, forcing a part of the soldiers to stop from the mechanical and numb, endless firing, reloading, firing, reloading, regaining their senses and seeing everything in front of them... I simply forgot to breathe.

In an hour, more than 10,000 Azorean elven warriors were all killed, and only two small figures remained in the sea of blood flowing in the fire.

"Puff ——!"

The silver light dissipated in the sunlight, and the elven boy, who had almost exhausted all his mental strength, fell to one knee on the ground, desperately opening his vision that was obscured by sweat and hair, and began to blur.

"Anson?!"

Hearing the movement behind her, the blindfolded Lori Zade screamed in a panic, and subconsciously wanted to look back.

"It's okay!

The elf boy hurriedly stopped, and opened the shield composed of silver light on both sides of his backhand in front of him: "Sister, look at the front!"

"Bell!

The moment the words fell, the ancient knife in the hand of the blindfolded elf girl had already bounced off the beam of light in front of her.

"What are you going to do next, Anson?" vigilantly raised the blade in his hand, and there was more panic in the excited girl's voice: "Why, why can't I hear everyone's voice, where is the battle going, what are we going to do next?!"

Everyone......

The elven boy looked at the devastated battlefield and struggled to get up from the ground while gasping.

"Everyone... They have already completed their mission one step ahead of us. The elven boy who couldn't stop breathing, stared at the black and gold lion battle flag on the other side of the sea of fire:

"We're holding you back, sister. ”

As the words fell, Lori Zade's expression calmed down, leaving only the sound of a raging fire in her ears.

"It's time to do what we have to do, sister. ”

Speaking plainly, the pale-faced Anson was already standing beside the blindfolded elf girl, holding up the pendant with the only solitary guard, and pulling up a silver light out of thin air:

"Flesh and bone as a monument, blood as a sacrifice... Sister, it seems that she once made such a promise. ”

"Yes. ”

The elf girl, who answered softly, withdrew the long knife from its scabbard, hid it at her waist, and held the handle of the knife in her right hand. He bowed and stepped forward, his expression resolute, and he wanted to pounce.

"Alas... Since my sister has agreed, it is not okay not to be a good image. ”

"Yes. ”

"When the matter is over, let's go to see the peach blossoms together, in a foreign country in the spring breeze, the types and smells of flowers should be different from those in my hometown, so it's not interesting, right?"

“...... Be. ”

"Okay, that's settled. With a tired smile, the elf boy's expression changed instantly:

"Azorean elves, in the name of the Eagle King......"

"Draw your sword and meet the enemy!"

"Bang ————————————!!!!"

"Bell, bell, ......bell!"

At the same time as the salvo sounded, the blindfolded elf girl who charged at Anson's roar had already bounced off several incoming beams of light and broke through to the sea of fire directly ahead.

Half of Anson Zade's body had turned into silver light, and he followed closely behind the sword-wielding elf girl like the tail flame of a meteor.

The cold blade in the girl's hand seemed to be a living swordfish swimming in the sea, leaving visible ripples in the air with the petite figure running wildly and waving her wrists.

The beam that collided with the swinging blade was split in two;

The white light that collided with the raised blade was bounced off as if it were refracted in a spark;

The tail flame that brushed over the shoulder, leaving a bloody mark on the girl's shoulder;

The scattered streamers are all blocked by the flowing silver light "shield";

"Rush, ——!"

The flowing silver light turned into a spiral spear, and once again tore a passage through the sea of fire, and this time, the elven girl who no longer had any scruples rushed through the sea of fire without hesitation.

The flames swept by the silver light tugged behind her, like a raised cloak dancing in the air.

Under the gaze of thousands of shooting soldiers, the two figures rushed through the sea of fire and entered within fifty meters with a volley of uninterrupted tidal fire.

Fifty meters... According to Loren Turin, it is the maximum range of power of the "Bright Spear", and it is also the final range of the salvo.

"Gather your line and keep shooting!"

Staring at the blindfolded elf girl who rushed through the sea of fire, Carl Colin was expressionless: "Command the two wings to spread out the encirclement behind the trench line, and tell them to wait for my signal." ”

"Shoot platoon by row on the middle line, retreat slowly, and block the enemy as much as possible. ”

“...... Yes, sir. ”

The herald, who originally wanted to refute, finally chose to obey the order.

"Bang ————————————!!!!"

In a uniform roar, the firing corps that had gathered the line changed from a three-row array to a twelve-row array; the soldiers in the first platoon who had completed their firing immediately retreated to the rear, while the second platoon immediately completed a salvo while the front row retreated......

With the help of such uninterrupted volley coverage, while retreating, do everything possible to block the enemy's advance, and the effect is ......

Very little!

The blindfolded elf girl who ran straight forward seemed to be able to see the trajectory of each beam, and even if it was a continuous burst of shots, she would be bounced away with a faster slash.

"Bell ......——!"

The Byrne soldiers, who were desperately shooting, could only see the sparks that continued to explode in front of the elf girl, blocking all the beams that shot at her like an impenetrable shield!

Forty meters... 30 meters...... Twenty meters ......

Standing in the front row, Carl Colin stared at the rushing figure - of course he remembered the other party, and he also remembered the invisible slash that cut off his legs and arms.

Within three feet, everything is cut down.

That's ......

"Heart-slash!"

"Poof... Puff puff puff ......"

In the midst of the lightning, the blade swung an invisible trajectory, bouncing off a whole row of volleys, and even "returning" a few beams intact.

At the moment when the blood gushed out, dozens of shooters on Carl Colin's side fell at the same time, and only he was still standing in place with a blank face, holding a "Bright Light Spear" that served as a horn.

The elf girl who charged with her sword seemed to have jumped within ten meters in the blink of an eye.

The witcher could even see her immature countenance, and without hesitation... A resolute expression.

Knowing that he is destined to die, he has to swing the final slash;

Just with... It was the same that night.

Facing the elven girl who came with a sword, the witcher raised the "Bright Light Spear" in his hand.

Reload, aim, shoot.

"Bang-bell!"

The roar of the launch and the sparks of the blade's deflection beam exploded almost simultaneously.

Lori Zade gritted her teeth, the blade sheathed again, and flew forward.

It's over.

"Sister-sama——!"

"Bang ——————————————!!!!"

The moment the salvo was heard, the blindfolded elf girl who heard the shouts woke up suddenly.

Anson?!

"Bang ——————————————!!!!"

Just as Lori looked back in horror, there was another volley.

This time the voice is not directly in front, but from behind, from left and right... Coming from all directions.

Lori Zade, who was unscathed, seemed to have lost her soul in an instant, from a sharp samurai to a frightened and helpless girl, desperately looking around.

Anson... Anson's voice... It's gone?

Why, why can't I hear it, why can't I hear Anson's voice anymore?!

"Anson! Anson——! Anson......"

The screaming blindfolded elf girl stumbles and falls, inadvertently touching the body of the fallen "Anson".

At that moment, the panicked Lori Zade, the corners of her mouth showed a serene arc.

Great, great, great......

Silently watching the blindfolded elf girl put down the long knife in her hand, holding the body of Anson Zade, which was riddled with holes and gradually cold, Carl Colin silently raised his hand behind him.

"Boom——————, boom——————, boom ————————"

With the sound of neat footsteps, the shooters marched forward with their shields and "bright spears" raised until the soldiers on both flanks had completed their convergence, and then turned at the same time.

A huge circle surrounded Lori Zade, who was clinging to the corpse of the elf boy, in the center.

The smiling elf girl desperately held the cold corpse in her arms, and the blood spilled from the wound on her forehead, dripping down her cheeks after soaking through the blindfold

It looked like he was in tears.

"Shield ——!"

"Boom ——!!!!"

There was a muffled sound of neatness, and the shield-bearers kneeling on one knee smashed the base of their right kite shield into the cold earth, propping up their shields against their shoulders and torsos.

"Spear ——!"

The shooters, standing behind the shields, silently put the brass "spear body" on the shield, and there was no more panic at the beginning.

"Loading ——!"

Sticking their cheeks to the wooden holders, the shooters turned on the final firing device.

"All—on standby!"

As the words fell, the herald turned to look at Carl Collin, awaiting his final orders.

The expressionless witcher looked at the blindfolded elf girl surrounded on all sides and said nothing.

Lori Zade trembled, laid the elven boy's body flat on the ground, picked up the ancient knife that had been discarded by herself, and slowly got up.

A resolute face with blood and tears, facing the direction of the witcher.

"Within three feet, everything is cut ......"

The elf girl who put the knife into the sheath and spoke softly slowly lowered her head, her hair hanging down to cover her face.

Carl Colin, whose expression remained unchanged, waved his right hand sharply.

"Heart-——! Slash"

"Shooting ——!"

"Bang ————————————!!!!"

"Bell ——!"

At the moment of thunderous noise, the soldiers only had time to see the sparks from the collision of the blade and the beam;

After an instant, the uninjured elf girl was still standing in place guarding the corpse, the blade of her right hand slowly sheathed.

On the contrary, it was the shooting soldiers who surrounded the area, and several of them fell to the ground screaming because they were hit by the bulleting streamer.

"Go on. Carl Colin said coldly:

"Don't stop until the duke's order comes. ”

"Adult ......"

Looking at the elven girl in the center of the battlefield, the herald frowned slightly-there was only one enemy left, and at this time, shouldn't he immediately report to the duke and consider capturing him alive or sending out the Wings of the Sky to encircle and suppress him......

But when he saw Carl Colin's dead man-like expression, he didn't dare say a word.

“...... Yes, sir. ”

"Bang ————————————!!!!"

Another volley, Lori Zade stood still, bounced off all the beams, the collar and gown around her neck soaked with sweat, and her right hand trembling slightly.

Even for the Azorean elves, the power of the samurai, which relies on the power of the void and consumes spiritual power, has its limits... In particular, the way of a samurai as powerful as the "Heart Slash" is particularly intense.

But the soldiers of the shooting corps still did not stop, even though people continued to fall and the frequency of self-explosions in the queue increased, they still did not stop.

"Bang ————————————!!!!"

A roaring sound sounded, and countless beams of light rushed towards the thin, petite, sword-wielding figure from all directions.

"Poof!"

Unable to react, Lori Zade was pierced through her right knee by a beam of light, and the moment the blood gushed out, the elven girl fell to one knee and dodged a blow aimed at the center of her eyebrow.

"Poof!"

The beam grazed his wrist, and his bleeding right hand still held on to the hilt of the knife, refusing to let go.

"Poof!"

the third, the left shoulder, which fluttered with the blood, and the elven girl's arm;

Fourth, the blindfold - the tail flame that brushed the cheeks burned the ribbon of the eyepatch, and the loose hair covered the elven girl's pupils;

The fifth, the arm, the broken arm, flew out of the shoulder with the beam of light from the shoulder that was gushing blood;

Sixth ......

7th ......

...... Lori Zade sat on the ground, gasping for breath, her unseen eyes staring at the sky, desperately open, as if trying to see something.

"Smack. ”

The cold touch pressed against the center of her forehead.

The slightly startled elf girl quickly calmed down.

"Your Excellency, it's ......"

"Outside the Duke of Byrne's palace... Gatekeepers. Carl Colin, who was holding a bright spear in one hand, looked down at Lori Zade, who was kneeling next to the corpse of the elven boy, and stepped forward the "tip of the spear" slightly:

"According to our agreement, after a long wait, I brought the will of the duke. ”

"I see. ”

The hair was scattered, and the blood stains revealed the girl's eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and her immature face was cute like a doll, very well-behaved.

"Well, what does the Duke mean ......"

"I'm very sorry, but the Duke doesn't want to see you. Carl Colin whispered, "The Duke also said that you must die." ”

"I'm the one who came to kill you. ”

"Bang ——!"

The thunder that disperses the flowers reverberates under the clear sky.

The elven girl with scattered silk stretched out her limbs lying among the flowers, with her younger brother sleeping lazily under her pillow, looking at the scattered petals and smelling the fragrance that permeated the tip of her nose......

Satisfied... I closed my eyes.
