The box watched as the black and white line flowed through the forest like a tide, slowly covering it in this direction.

"Box," Sky Blue said loudly as she ran out of the forest, "there are more and more of them, and we have to find a way to do it, or they will take the refugees back." They're still killing, it's so hateful......! ”

But the boy looked in the same direction, as if he hadn't heard it.

Deël wiped her dirty little face and was biting her lower lip to look at him.

"Mr. Aidan Ryan," said the little girl's sister, the blind girl standing beside her in a daze, "...... I'm sorry, I know that's excessive...... But...... Can you help everyone again, help Miss Sand Night...... Yes, I'm sorry...... But Deelle and I really can't do anything about it......"

The box glanced at them.

He silently lowered his head, and glanced at the pitch-black sword at his waist again, and he held the sword with his hand, and the sword responded with a special feeling.

It was as if there was a voice calling out to itself.

The bloody aura that filled the air seemed to activate a certain power on the sword, and that power pointed directly at people's hearts, and seemed to penetrate the thoughts in his heart.

The box pressed the sword, raised his head, and looked silently ahead.

Not for anyone, but there had never been a moment in his heart that he was so desperate to change something. The camp that was in flames seemed to be a reflection of his heart's desire—

He couldn't watch these people die in front of him.

You need strength –

A voice said.

Yes, he is in need of strength.

……

"Miss Sand Night, Miss Sand Night? We'll take you out of this place first......"

Sand Night struggled hard, breaking free of their hands, and she staggered to her feet, turned away, and looked at the two of them with dark eyes. There seemed to be an indescribable majesty in her silent gaze, "Go and save people," she began, and her voice was hoarse at the first sentence that barely looked like her own. Facing the two who were still stunned, she raised her voice and repeated again: "Go and save people." ”

"But you ......"

The chill permeated the forest, and the air turned into rime at low temperatures. Sand Night breathed white air in his mouth, and his tone was extremely calm: "Go and gather everyone and go to the forest." She silently removed the longbow from behind her, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were revealed one by one because of the excessive force.

The two were stunned for a moment. "Go," Sand Night's voice suddenly stern, "don't you listen to my orders?" ”

The two of them woke up like a dream, drew their swords, and rushed towards the camp. But Sandnight grabbed one of them with her right hand, "Sister Deelle...... Those two girls have no ability to protect themselves, you go find them, protect them, and take them out of this place......" The man nodded in a panic and stumbled away.

Only Sand Night was left alone, and she suddenly remembered that Xiaokong was still in the camp, so she couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly, and staggered to hold on to the trunks of the trees, one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking in that direction.

Mercenaries and knights are storming the camp, the sound of battle filling the woodland. The metal shields of the knights reflected the firelight, and the cold eyes under them watched the scattered and frightened refugees, and the mercenaries swarmed up, pressing those who had no power to resist to the ground, "If there is resistance, kill them on the spot—" in the cold voice, as if with a righteous reading.

As soon as the refugee struggled, the mercenaries pressed their knees against his back, raised their daggers high, and stabbed them hard. The blade sliced through the skin, sending warm blood splattering out, soaking the hair on his neck and staining it in the snow.

No one cares, and the dead will be resurrected in the temple anyway, where they still have their manpower. As for those who have lost their starlight, they are watching the fading temperature and life with their eyes that are gradually freezing and consolidating, but so what, the self-proclaimed judges do not care.

The mercenaries picked up their swords covered in blood and were slowly getting up from the cold corpses, when he suddenly felt some strange silence in the air, and when he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman with black hair, whose face was as pale as a witch in the forest, coming out from behind a bush. And Sand Night silently stopped in place, her longbow in her hand, looking in this direction.

The mercenary reacted, drew his sword and faced her, exchanging glances with his companions, as if reading that the woman was weak. In the dark eyes of the sand night, there was only a faint one, and he slowly raised his longbow and aimed at these people.

The mercenaries let out a low whistle and rushed in unison.

Sand Night let go of the bowstring, and the arrow flew into the crowd like a black shadow, and one man fell in response.

She turned slightly sideways, raised her right hand, drew an arrow from her back, and then faced the other direction, opened her bow and arrow, released the bowstring, and another running man tumbled and fell, splashing a snowfro.

She fired her bow left and right, and the mercenaries fell one after another, but finally someone rushed at her, raised his sword, and stabbed at her. Sand Night shook a little, but still used the bow to open the sword, the iron sword reflected the cold light and staggered with her, she raised her head at this time, a pair of dark and cold eyes fell on the other party's eyes, and the other party was slightly stunned.

A blood-stained dagger appeared in Sha Ye's hand at some point, and a cold light flashed, and the mercenary clutched his throat and fell down, warm blood gushing out from between his fingers. Sand Night grabbed the man and turned him around to block him.

Two stabbing swords plunged into the mercenary's body, and Sand Ye pushed it forward, and the corpse slammed into the two of them, and she threw the dagger with her backhand, and the dagger was plunged into the throat of one of them, until it sank into the handle, and the man fell on his back. With the castration of the corpse, Sand Night Hand pulled out a pair of scimitars from his waist and brought up a snow light, leaving the man's head flying high into the sky.

She turned again, and the scimitar in her left and right hands came out, one in front of her and one in the back, and both of them fell in unison, and the hilt of the knife stuck in her chest shook to itself. Sand Night rolled on the spot in the snow to distance himself, raised his longbow again, and shot a man with an arrow.

And when she aimed her bow at the other man, the man finally shuddered, and with a look of fear in his eyes, he turned and fled. Sand Night narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and resolutely released the bowstring, and with a screeching sound, the feathered arrow caught up with the fleeing man from behind, who threw himself forward without saying a word, and fell into the snow.

Suddenly there was a sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air behind him, and Sha Ye didn't want to block the bow behind him, who wanted a burst of dizziness to attack, his hand was weak, and the huge force pressed down the bow, hit her, and actually lifted her out.

She rolled in the snow several times before she got up a little groggily, and the system let out a series of piercing screams, indicating that her physical strength had dropped to a dangerous level, and Sand Night glanced at the character panel, and all aspects of her attributes had been greatly reduced.

When she looked up, she saw a knight in a black and white robe, armed with a sword, standing not far from her. The other party's indifferent gaze looked into the distance before returning to her, and a sound of urns and urns came from under the helmet:

"He's given up resisting, you shouldn't have killed him."

Sand Night looked at the corpses in the snow with some sadness, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Aren't they defenseless?" ”

The knight shook his head and said sternly: "They are sinners. ”

"You are the sinners."

Shaya gritted his teeth, looked at each other, and made such a sound. She raised her bow, aimed it at the knight, and fired an arrow, but the knight swung it away with a sword. The arrow flew out and landed far in the snow.

Sha Ye watched this scene silently, there were still a few knights behind the knights, even in her heyday, it would take a lot of effort to deal with these knights, not to mention now. She felt a little cold in her heart, but she still clutched her bow hard, supported the ground with one hand, and staggered to her feet.

"Stubborn."

The knight looked at her, shook his head, and put away his sword, he was not going to come up and deal with a man who had lost his ability to resist. The mercenaries behind him had already swarmed up, trying to push Sand Night down on the snow, but Sand Night looked at the man who walked out from behind the mercenary, and for the first time there was an angry look in his eyes:

"Grid, why did you betray everyone?"

The man who had shown his loyalty to Mofine-Grey Flame not long ago took a step back in his heart, but he immediately regained his courage and looked at the resentful look in Sandnight's eyes, as if he were the one who suffered.

He said angrily: "It's not because of you, our original intention of establishing this camp is just to find a way to survive, and see what good things you have done?" You went to the town to save people, and you thought you had succeeded, so you were complacent, but are the adults easy to mess with? You Chosen ones don't understand anything, and all you do is asking for trouble...... No, you're just using us. ”

Sand Night looked at this person coldly: "Adults, Greed, are really affectionate...... But don't forget who got you into this situation. ”

"It's you, you sinners," said Greed, aloud, "I was once as guilty as you, but the Lord has forgiven me for my sins, and the Lord of the Storm will redeem me himself, and I am certainly different from you people." ”

Sha Ye looked at this person with a cold gaze, it was not that she hadn't thought about the evil in this world, but she didn't expect it to be so vividly manifested in this person.

Gred seemed to read a sense of shame in her gaze, the contempt made him feel uneasy, but the uneasiness was followed by rage, and although he knew that the other party was the Chosen One, he couldn't help but scold: "You damn bitch, blame you for doing everything wrong......"

He scolded as he raised his fist and punched Sha Ye in the face.

There was a scream in the wind, and the man let out a scream, and a feathered arrow shot through his right hand. Almost immediately, he covered his hands, knelt on the ground and wailed, "Someone, help......"

As if watching a farce, the Crowtalon Knights looked in the direction where the feathered arrows were fired, and saw only a young man with a somewhat pale face, standing there with his bow in hand. Sand Night looked there, his eyes shrank slightly:

"Sora?"

"Sister Shaye," the young man looked in this direction, "I'll protect you......"

"You can't even protect yourself," Sand Night said angrily, "Get out!" ”

She felt anxious for a while, remembering that Fang Yu had told her that there was not much starlight left in Xiaokong.

But the boy shook his head slightly, threw his bow on the ground, which was already devoid of arrows, and then drew his sword and looked at each knight proudly.

"Little Empty ......"

Sand Night was a little silent in her heart for a while, the kind of determination she read from the young man's face, she naturally understood that kind of intention in her heart - someone was willing to protect her determination like that, why not let people waver? But she shook her head slightly, what about the person she liked?

The other party has long abandoned the Knights.

Her voice went soft:

"Sora, let's go......"

But the voices in the woodland fell silent.

Mercenaries gathered around from all sides.

"Catch him!" Grad suddenly shouted, "That young man has been possessed by the Shadow Man, he is a monster!" ”

When the knights, who had been in the mood to watch the show, heard this shout, they suddenly became serious, they turned around, and drew their swords one after another. At the sound of the password, the mercenaries also surrounded the past, surrounding the small empty group, and surrounding the center.

A sword blade flashing with cold light pointed at the young man standing in the center, but the young man was not afraid, only one person and one sword, facing everyone. Like the same brave knight, who vows to protect the one in his heart.

Shaye gritted his teeth and looked at the man in front of him coldly, Greed covered his hands and said to her a little proudly: "Look at it, he is dead......"

In the distance, the knights raised their swords.

But at this moment, in the middle of the forest, a voice that floated like a ghost suddenly replied:

"Really?"

The voice was ethereal, with a hint of mischief.

Gred raised his head in a slight stunned position, and the mercenaries holding the sand night were obviously more alert, and had already turned back in that direction.

……

"You're holding your sword in the wrong way—"

A voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xiao Kong was taken aback, an enemy touched behind him, and he didn't even notice it?

He almost subconsciously slashed his sword in that direction, but one hand had already stopped him, and it was a hand with a silver magic glove.

"You can't hurt an enemy with a sword like this," said a young man almost about his age, as he stepped out of it and stood side by side with him.

The box turned around and looked at the other party as if no one was around: "Has no one taught you how to use a sword?" ”

Sora was only slightly hot.

The sword wasn't his weapon, but he came out of his tent and couldn't find anything more adequate.

However, what supported him to stand in this place was actually not an excellent swordsmanship, but just the impulse and courage to protect someone in his heart. He looked at the other and stammered:

"Who are you?"

"I am—" The box suddenly remembered the previous 'tragedy', and after a moment of silence, he replied again, "I am the box." ”

"Boxes?"

The box nodded.

He turned his head to look at the knights in the distance, pressing his hand to the hilt of his sword.

After only a moment's hesitation, he slowly moved his right hand down and pressed it against the handle of the other sword there, which was as black as ink and covered with crow feathers.

And the rubies inlaid on it shimmer with a dazzling and demonic light.

When that ethereal voice sounded—

A piercing note fell into the snow, as if a huge, resounding sound wave had exploded, and the snow fell from the trees, and everyone around the sand night was now staggering.

Caught off guard, Greed fell backwards almost with a scream, and the mercenaries who bore the brunt of the sonic shock staggered, and among all of them, Sandnight was the only one who was completely unaffected.

She didn't understand what was going on, but that didn't stop her from seizing the opportunity, and Sandnight struggled hard, knocking away from the mercenaries around her and rushing forward. Gridd, who was dizzy, woke up like a dream and shouted, "Catch her!" ”

The mercenaries didn't care about the buzzing in their ears and chased after them. But a short figure rushed out and slammed headfirst into the nearest mercenary, knocking him to the ground. The little figure took a few steps back, and the magic guide piano in his hand also fell to the ground, holding his head and crying out in pain:

"Ouch, my head!"

Sand Night immediately heard that this was the owner of the ethereal voice before.

When she looked closely, she realized that it was a cute blonde girl, and she seemed to have seen each other somewhere. When he turned back, he saw a row of Electors rushing out, and drew their weapons in front of him.

Sand Night was stunned, those people were her own men, the people she had sent out to pick up the Nanami Brigade earlier.

These people are back, so don't you say?

She looked back at the little girl with her head in her arms—

"Chest!" Sky Blue held her head and shouted in that direction: "Hurry up, there are more and more enemies!" ”

And Xiaokong listened to the voice from afar, and was slightly stunned, he turned around:

"I look like I've seen you......"

"Yes, I've seen you too."

"By the way, you, you're Mr. Ed's companion......?" Xiao Kong suddenly reacted.

The box is noncommittal.

But the boy had already understood that the other party was friend and foe, he looked at the knights in the distance, and asked hesitantly, "Then what should we do ......?" ”

"Help me keep an eye on those people."

"Look...... They? ”

The chest had grasped the pitch-black hilt of the sword in its hand.

The voice whispered in the forest:

"Remember the name......"

"I'm Edwin Kleve......"
