Chapter 40: The Storm Empress
To the northeast of the Fortress of Agnatia and the Fortress of Negrita have also fallen into large-scale chaos.
The half-nerve Scroll Knife Wen who was originally stationed here was suddenly beaten away by the streamer on the opposite side, so that the mentality of the defenders of the fortress was immediately unbalanced.
You must know that even the demigods can't withstand the attack from the opposite side, even if it is the defenders of the entire fortress...... It's also a food delivery!
As a result, some generals soon could not restrain their troops, and large-scale defections began.
The Iron Cross mercenaries stormed the storm outside, and soon took down the fortress of Negrita.
"Hahahaha." Andrea was ecstatic, "This Blue Sword mercenary group is really not ordinary, could it be that all the fortresses leading to Constantinople have been cleared?" Just waiting for us to go over and receive it? Hahahaha! ”
"Regiment Commander, we still have to expand the results of the battle as soon as possible." Herman reminded beside him, "Egnatia's side can't hide it for long, and soon the other mercenary groups will get the news." ”
"Yes, let the brothers speed up!" Andrea ordered.
Soon, however, another piece of news was brought by the scouts: the Freewind mercenary group led by Matthews was already attacking the nearby town of Sohos.
Andrea:???
"How is that possible!" He lost his voice and said, "Could it be that Matthews also has a brain?" Do you know to send scouts out to investigate? ”
"No, I don't think he's just sending someone to follow us." Herman said solemnly.
After all, there is such a thing as a wife having a child...... It's really not a normal excuse either.
"Damn!" Andrea slammed his fist against the wall, "It's so treacherous to follow us!" Let's end the battle as soon as possible, don't count the gains, and set off for the next fortress right away! ”
In any case, as long as you can capture one more fortress, your voice and gain in the Crusader camp will increase by 10%, after all, this is a real record.
After a while, the voices of the mercenaries outside suddenly became noisy, as if an enemy from the air was coming.
Andrea and Herman hurried out the door. The enemy in the air is basically a high-level transcendent. If it's a demigod, then everyone has to run away as soon as possible.
Before they could organize the mercenaries, they saw Asker and the others fall from the sky, some of them gliding and landing on their wings, and some of them were teleported down by Mia, and appeared directly in front of the two captains.
"You're pretty fast." Looking at the interior of the occupied Negrita Fortress around him, Aske said lightly.
If it were someone else, he would probably think it was a kind of mockery, but Andrea pretended not to hear it, and said with a grin:
"Your Excellency, thanks to the fact that you defeated the demigods stationed here before, we have saved a lot of effort."
"Just do it." Asker said.
In the past, he would definitely bargain with the Iron Cross and get them to give some of the benefits. It's just that with the current demigods of almost all the members of the Azure Sword, it's not good to worry about those petty profits.
Not to mention that now that the Crusaders are going to regain Constantinople, who is it making wedding dresses for.
Seeing that Asker did not ask to be divided with the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, Andrea was also relieved.
He knew how difficult the leader of this mercenary group was, not to mention that there were psychic warlocks who were good at negotiation in the team, and Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess who couldn't afford to offend, if he really put down his face to bargain with them, then Andrea could only endure the pain and hemorrhage to help the other side save face.
After chatting with Andrea for a few words, and revealing that the passage from here to Constantinople was completely unblocked, the Blue Sword and the others set off again to return to the town of Thessaloniki.
————————
As soon as she returned to the town, Sheila couldn't wait to go to Hearthfire Island, ready to start storming the demigod threshold.
As soon as the island of Hearthfire became cloudy, a light rain fell, and Sheila's body began to visibly turn into a cyclone, and finally volatilized into the air.
"That's nice." Nola, who was guarding the side, sighed, "After becoming a demigod, you can basically go to all places in this world, right?" ”
"Are you still thinking about traveling the world?" Asker said casually. He remembered that the girl had joined the world because she wanted to travel the world.
"I don't want to think about it now." Nora stretched and said with a smile, "After all, from the east to the west, so many realms have come over. Constantinople, Sparta, the HRE, and Iberia and Atlanta......"
"Indeed." Asker has to admit that everyone has indeed run a lot in the past four years.
"One last skill is missing." Nora finally said, sighing, "Looks like I'm going to have to work harder, huh?" ”
She noticed that Asker's face had changed, because the moment Sheila entered the demigod rank, the spectrum of the laws of the universe also began to vibrate.
Heart of the Storm.
Sheila's title is Heart of the Storm, which is similar to "the eye of the tornado", which makes Asker think that if this guy returns to the country in the future, he may be able to give him a nickname similar to "The Storm Queen".
As Sheila reappeared in the cyclone, Nora hurried over to check on her.
"It's healthy." Nora said after the inspection.
"If I'm not healthy, I'll start conceptualizing my body." Sheila said calmly.
"Body conceptualization can indeed remove a lot of negative effects, but it's not a panacea." Asker reminded her, "One is the loss of reason, and the conceptualization of the body will accelerate the consumption of reason; On the other hand, it needs to be actively opened. ”
"If you're controlled by some kind of force that you can't begin to conceptualize your body, that's needless to say. In short, although this ability is easy to use, it is not completely invincible. ”
"Hmm." Sheila knew that Asker was reminding her not to get carried away in front of her grandfather, so she nodded her head and said she understood.
"By the way, what's your fifth law skill?" Asker asked.
"Giving off strong sunlight." Sheila replied.
"Huh?"
"Electromagnetic storms, streams of high-energy charged particles, and plasma clouds brought about by solar activity, to be exact." Sheila explained.
Asker: ???
"How's it going?" He asked.
"A head-on hit can probably melt people away." Sheila replied.
She demonstratively flew into the sky, then stretched out a hand and aimed at the ocean far away from Hearthfire Island.
A pillar of light suddenly erupted from her hand, like a solar bolt from the Gundam series, and hit the reef in the distance, and everyone saw that the reef was melted away in an instant, and then swallowed by the surrounding water.
Medea's face was a little ugly, because it was the same place she and Asker had spent last time.
"That's amazing!" Hidlifa exclaimed, "If this hits the walls of Constantinople, won't it be able to break through in an instant?" ”
"It should work." Sheila said modestly.
"There's a problem with this skill." "The trajectory is in a straight line, and the body movements that need to be aimed at are easily predicted by the enemy. ”
"I can try to improve it and get rid of the pre-launch aiming motion." Sheila said in thought.
"Hmm. Until then, though. Asker smiled and said, "Let's go see your grandfather first." ”
