At night, in the island of fire.

In front of Asker's desk are two documents, on the left is the information provided by Malkina, and on the right is the mission file given by the Fantasy Dragon.

He opened the scroll on the left first, and sure enough...... The top is blank.

It should have been used in some special way to hide the information, no wonder Malkina said "whatever you want" to see it (if you can understand it, I lose).

Next, just give the document to the dragon of fantasy and wait for him to find out. It is equivalent to saying that the original Azure Sword everyone had to investigate the results alone, and now a demigod has come to help with the task, and the reward is not affected, perfect.

Asker picked up the file on his right again.

Honeycomb.

In Motegana, on the other side of the Gabo River in Italy, a drone hive of the Holy See was spotted.

The vocabulary on the file is named ". S", the Chinese name is "drone hive". As the name suggests, it is a mobile factory specializing in the production of drone swarms, which is roughly equivalent to an aircraft carrier in the 21st century, and is one of the symbols of the top military strength of the technology camp.

But it's a lot better than an aircraft carrier. Aircraft carriers can only carry, transport, and supply aircraft, and this thing can not only replenish, but also have its own manufacturing functions, with the help of a high-speed logistics network throughout the Apennine Peninsula, can continue to produce drones.

If you are slapped by this thing within 1 kilometer, it is almost equivalent to slapping the face of the brood in StarCraft, and if you produce troops in front of you, you will directly crush the Imperial Alliance, so the two demigods plan to destroy it in advance.

Of course, although the demigods are awesome, under the restrictions of today's demon tide, there is also a risk of being consumed alive by being surrounded by an infinite number of drones, so they need to be less than Lv.15 Transcendents to help clear the miscellaneous soldiers.

As for the transcendents within this level, in terms of consciousness, operation, and tactical level, the Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment is undoubtedly the top level, and the record of capturing Stuttgart City during the Imperial Civil War is here, so it is no wonder that the Fantasy Dragon would recommend them to the two demigods.

Thinking of the fact that the Holy See army had unexpectedly not attacked them recently, for a while, Asker really couldn't think of anyone other than the Azure Sword who was more suitable to accompany the two demigods on their mission.

After thinking about it for a long time, Asker planned to take on this task, and he should think of it as a large-scale team training and actual combat activity before the results of the Utopian Dragon's investigation.

Suddenly, he noticed in the distance outside the window, a blonde female knight in the moonlight swinging her sword.

Is it Eleanor? She's still training?

Ask, who was a little speechless, put on his clothes and went out.

In the moonlit training ground, Eleanor was still waving the branches, her white will flowing slowly on the surface of the branches, trembling with her sword-swinging movements.

Suddenly, the branch was grabbed by a hand.

"Is that you?" Eleanor looked at him in a daze.

"You're in a bad mental state." Asker said in a deep voice, "I'm close behind you, and you haven't noticed. ”

"I didn't, you let it go first." Eleanor frowned and said, "I must master this sword art as soon as possible. ”

"Staying up late and overdrawing your spirit won't work." Asker said.

"And what better way do you have it?" Eleanor asked him rhetorically.

Asker fell silent. Of course, he had also played the number of majoring in the law of will, and tried to learn this swordsmanship...... Didn't learn.

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard?" Asker sighed, "If you're just trying to win your father's approval......"

"It's not." Eleanor let go of the branch, "Do you see the gallows outside the barracks?" ”

"See." Aske said that this girl wouldn't have a sense of justice again, so he could only reluctantly comfort her, "That's not your fault." ”

"I didn't say it was my fault." Eleanor looked at him strangely, "Didn't you say that this was the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”

"Ahem! Yes, that's right. Aske coughed awkwardly, "Then why you're practicing so hard?" ”

"I want power." Eleanor said.

Asker: ..................

This answer was so straightforward that he didn't even think of how to respond for a while. Eleanor looked at him faintly, sighed too, and said softly:

"Asker, you know, too. At this point in the war, we still have no hope of victory, and too many people have been sacrificed. ”

"When I first learned of Uncle John's death, my heart suddenly felt empty, and I felt like I was going to convulse. But when I stood in front of his tombstone, I saw not only his tombstone, but ......"

“…… Graves all over the hills. ”

Asker was speechless. As the condenser of the laws of war, of course he knows how cruel war can be, and this all-out war of the Empire against the Holy See may not be the largest in the entire world of iron and fire, but the intensity is the highest.

First the plague, then the civil war, and finally the expedition. By the time the expedition was over, the HRE Empire had already suffered a lot of damage. The population of the Duchy of Bavaria alone has shrunk somehow much, and it is said that even the map of the Duchy in the forums has been redrawn after this version, and most of the villages and towns have disappeared from the map, been abandoned, or occupied by supernatural beings and turned into copies.

Ten rooms and nine emptiness, no exaggeration.

"So, even if you say I don't do it myself...... I really want to end this war as soon as possible. Eleanor whispered, "If only I could have enough power......"

“…… Will you be able to stop the war? Aske asked her coldly.

In normal times, he might just make a joke and sidestep this "Eleanor-esque question" to the past.

However, now that the knightly girl was clearly in a state of frustration (and I don't know what the Duke of Bavaria taught her since childhood), Aske could no longer avoid it.

"Can't you?" Eleanor looked up at him, her eyes like pleading.

In an instant, Asker's heart softened, but the professional player's nerves quickly calmed him down, and he said resolutely:

"I can't."

Eleanor looked at him in silence and pursed her lips vigorously.

"Have you ever heard of a phrase?" Aske tried to soften his tone, "The war has never changed. ”

"As long as there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, and when the conflict backlogs to a certain extent, it must only end in war." He tried to convince Eleanor that "one cannot go against the tide, because it will be tiring and ineffective." ”

"So what to do?" Eleanor asked in a low voice, "Just watching the war go on like this?" Do we want more Franks to die? ”

"No way." "Unless you kill the Emperor, the old man is the key player in the current war." ”

Eleanor's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Hey, I'm kidding you." Seeing that she seemed to be serious, Asker hurriedly dissuaded and said, "Don't be stupid, assassinating the emperor is equivalent to making the enemy of the entire empire, two dragons and nine demigods, and then we won't even be able to leave the scum." ”

"Rather than thinking about how to stop the war, I think you should set a small goal that you can achieve first." He then proceeded to use the great method of "shifting the target", "such as how to protect the people who are most important to you in this war." ”

"The most important person?" Eleanor looked at him intently.

"That's right." Aske said, "Like your second brother Henry, and like your father." ”

"You have to remember that we're not superheroes, we can't save everybody. But as long as you save your most important people, then at least when you look back on this past later, you may feel a little regretful, but you will never regret it. ”

"Yes." Eleanor muttered, "I'm going to protect them." ”

"So I still need strength." She looked up again, staring at Asker intently.

Burst! Asker almost squirted, why did he go back to the original topic while talking?

"Hmph." Eleanor also chuckled a little smugly, "So, master swordsman, come and teach me." ”

"What time did you wake up this morning?" Aske asked her.

"Five o'clock." Eleanor reported a staggering number.

"What time did you sleep last night?"

"Two points." This number is even more staggering.

"So you're learning the Indomitable Sword? Or cultivating immortals? Asker turned his face and said solemnly, "Go to sleep!" ”

"Nope." Eleanor wasn't Peggy after all, so she directly refused, "Unless you help me improve my strength." ”

"So be it." Aske could only fold in half, "I'll teach you swordsmanship for ten minutes, and then you go to sleep." Otherwise, you can practice here, anyway, I'm sure you practiced all night, and you didn't learn as much as I taught you in ten minutes. ”

"Okay." Eleanor readily agreed, "What to learn?" ”

"I really can't do the Unyielding Holy Sword, but I can teach you the mysteries of the reed celebrity." Asker summoned a spear and a sword from the void, "Get out of position first, watch my movements......"

He was teaching Eleanor here, and in the distance, on the ground, next to a few grasses, a beautiful little mouse was staring at the two men, with resentment in their ruby eyes.

Why didn't he go to sleep yet? Staying here late at night, Eleanor is really ...... Although at present, it seems that it is just an ordinary teaching of swordsmanship.

The mouse combed his beard with his paws and continued to stare intently at the two of them.

No way! The head of the regiment is too easily deceived, I have to keep an eye on Eleanor, I can't let her seduce Asker secretly!
