The recalcitrant viper managed to buy enough time for the cobra and rattlesnake, and by the time Lias had struck the viper, both the cobra and rattlesnake had escaped the range of the forbidden spell "Doomsday Judgment". Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Lias can also rely on supermagic skills to extend the attack range, considering the attrition, Lias finally gave up the idea of continuing to pursue the cobra and rattlesnake.

Of course, the remaining magic power could not be wasted, so Lias decisively smashed several meteorites into the base camp of Mantes's side, directly smashing the entire military camp into a big hole.

However, General Dirks and others, who were originally staying in the base camp, had already realized that the situation was wrong when a vision appeared in the sky, so they evacuated the base camp very decisively. Therefore, with the exception of some material losses and casualties, most of the middle and high-ranking generals on Mantes's side survived, and the chain of command remained sufficiently intact.

However, at this point, the generals of the Mantes Empire, including General Dirks, knew very well that they could no longer fight.

Lias's forbidden spell attack not only killed two legendary-level powerhouses, but also completely demoralized Mantes' side.

Looking at the panicked soldiers, who had been worried that the enemy would throw a meteorite at their heads again, General Dirks sighed heavily: "...... We've been defeated. ”

Yes, they were undoubtedly defeated.

"General! What do we do next? ”

The adjutant standing behind General Dirks asked with some uneasiness.

"What else can I do?"

General Dirks said helplessly: "Send people to find the two crowns of Cobra and Rattlesnake, and at the same time notify the commanders of each legion to station directly in place and collect the scattered soldiers as much as possible." ”

"But what if the enemy takes advantage of this opportunity to attack?"

The adjutant hesitated, still a little nervously asked.

“…… When the time comes, I will fly the white flag. ”

After a moment of silence, General Dirks said slowly: "With the style of the United Kingdom of Malt, it will not kill us all. ”

Looking at the back of General Dirks, the adjutant stood for a long time, then gave a military salute to General Dirks, and then strode to carry out General Dirks's orders.

Glancing at the departing figure of the adjutant, General Dirks shook his head, and then beckoned to a signal corpsman on the side: "You immediately write a battle report of what happened here and send it to the other legions on the front." ”

"It's already being done! Checkmate! ”

The signal corps hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute to General Dex.

"Good."

Nodding, General Dirks added, "By the way, add a paragraph at the end. Until our army has the means to deal with the enemy's forbidden curse strike, it is not appropriate for our army to launch another operation against the United Kingdom of Malta! ”

Glancing at General Dirks in some amazement, the Signal Soldier nodded, and continued to send the telegram.

"That way, that's probably enough."

General Dirks sighed softly and turned to look into the distance.

That direction is where his hometown is located.

After a long time, General Dirks slowly pulled out his matching gun from his waist, aimed the muzzle of the gun at his temple, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Bang ......"

While Mantes's side was immersed in confusion and pain, the coalition forces on Malte's side, which had returned to Tux's fortress, were plunged into a sea of joy.

Before Aisha arrived, even with the support of Alice's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the soldiers stationed in the fortress of Tux had no choice but to hide in the basement and sewers, enduring the shelling of Mantes' side again and again.

With the exception of the heavily fortified walls and gates, all the buildings above the ground were destroyed by the Mantes Empire. So in the most difficult days, even General Karaman could only be like the soldiers, nibbling on unpalatable black bread and drinking water with a certain strange taste.

Such a day is naturally extremely difficult. What's more, at that time, everyone led by General Karaman did not see the slightest chance of victory.

But just after Aisha and his party arrived, the coalition forces not only successfully launched a counterattack on Mantes' side, but also killed three legendary powerhouses one after another.

The situation has been completely reversed!

So, after the coalition forces returned to the fortress of Tux, everyone celebrated with great fanfare. The aroma of the recently delivered food is tantalizing to the chefs, attracting saliva from people who haven't eaten a good meal in days. The shelf-stable ale was all taken out and generously served to all; The soldiers changed their uniforms, the teachers and students of Alice's School of Magic and Wizardry also changed their leather armor, and everyone put on their usual clothes to celebrate this rare victory in the original square.

However, while most of the people were making a fuss, Aisha found Helen accompanied by Dio and Teresa.

"Aisha! And Dior and Teresa! You are the heroes of this battle! ”

Helen smiled and hugged Aisha, and then she noticed that Aisha's expression was a little wrong: "...... Uh, what's wrong? ”

Aisha, who had a tight face and clenched her fists, looked nervous: "Actually, there is one thing I have long wanted to ask you, but I have never found a suitable opportunity. Now, I want you to be honest with me...... Sister Kalian, is there something wrong? ”

"Why do you ask?"

Helen hesitated visibly before asking.

"I've asked President Millie about a few of them, but none of them have heard from Karen Senpai! It's not normal, is it? ”

Aisha stared at Helen's eyes tightly, and said a little intermittently: "According to Sister Kalian's personality, even if she can't fight side by side with everyone, she should leave a message for her friends!" However, no one can know about Sister Karen's situation now, which makes me very worried......

"Senior Sister Kalian, is something wrong?"

"This ......"

Helen's face turned a little strange.

"Helen! I know you're the most well-informed! ”

Aisha grabbed Helen's sleeve very nervously and asked excitedly, "Sister Kalian, what's wrong with her?" Where did it hurt? Still is...... Or is she already dead in battle? ”

"Aisha! Calm down! Sister Kalian, she didn't have an accident! It's true! ”

With a wry smile, Helen began to soothe Aisha: "She's still fine!" Nothing! ”

"So, what the hell is going on?"

Hearing Helen's words, Aisha finally calmed down, but she still asked with some concern: "Why is there no news from Senior Sister Kalian?" ”

"Uh...... Where does this begin? ”

Helen, who was frowning, said with some distress: "Well, let's put it simply, Senior Karen is fine, Senior Karen has an accident." ”

"Huh?"

Aisha was stunned for a moment.

"Here's the thing......"

Seeing that Aisha had finally calmed down, Helen began to explain slowly.

As early as when the Mantes Empire began to attack the United Kingdom of Malte, Cullen had already returned to the family with the adventure group and mercenary group he had cultivated, and began to make a name for himself on the battlefield.

With the excellent members of the adventure group as the backbone, and the reorganization of several mercenary groups under his command, Karen's performance on the battlefield is quite excellent. With his own troops, he harassed the troops of the Mantes Empire again and again, buying a lot of time for the Grand Duke of Flame to mobilize his legions.

However, just as the Flame Grand Duke finally mobilized all his legions to the Taks Fortress to prepare for a counterattack, Cullen was ambushed by the enemy and was assassinated during the breakout.

"Upon hearing the news, Grand Duke Stanfield was furious and personally led the army out of Tuques Fortress to pursue the enemy army."

Helen sighed before continuing, "And after Karen learned the news, she left Alice's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a hurry. Because she was in such a hurry, no one knew what she was leaving school for. As for me, it was only after I came here that I unexpectedly learned about Senior Karen. ”

"I see......"

After hearing such news, Aisha's brows were furrowed, but she knew very well how deep the relationship between Sister Karen and her brother was: "Sister Kalian, I'm probably very sad now......"

"Hmm."

Helen nodded and said softly, "Senior Sister Karen should be in Oak Town now, because Senior Karen's body is there. ”

“…… I'm going to find her! ”

Aisha clenched her little fists suddenly, "Sister Karen-senpai must be in need of her friends' support now!" ”

"I knew you would say that."

Helen shook her head helplessly: "I really can't help you...... Well, I'll explain it to you on General Karaman's side, and remember to say hello to Karen for me...... It's wrong, it's wrong, it should be to help me say condolences to Senior Sister Kalian. ”

"Hmmm! I will! Then I'll leave it to you here! ”

Aisha nodded at Helen and left in a hurry.

"Really, it's rare that you've made such a big contribution, and this is a good opportunity to get in touch with General Karaman......"

Looking at Aisha's departing back, Helen shook her head helplessly: "How can you resist the huge Testrosa family like this." ”

At this moment, Helen looked into Aisha's eyes, obviously with a little worry.

"Maybe it's for this reason that Her Majesty Dio and Her Majesty Teresa will appear by her side."

Nemo and Hansen, who were holding a glass of ale, walked over together, looking at Aisha's distant figure, Nemo said with emotion: "However, although Aisha is not suitable for being the master of the house, it is very suitable for being a friend!" ”

Helen directly rolled her eyes, looked at Nemo and said, "What, is your family also planning to form an alliance with the Aisha family?" ”

"It's not just our family, after seeing the strength of His Majesty Dio and Teresa's Crown in these days, I believe that many families will be willing to form an alliance with the Testrosa family with such strength!"

Nemo raised his glass to Helen and drank the ale from it.

“…… I'll drink with you. ”

Hansen suddenly squeezed between Nemo and Helen, then nodded at Nemo, and then drank the ale in his cup in one gulp.

"Oh, don't worry, I don't have any idea about Helen!"

Nemo was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Compared with the Henderson family, my family is just a small family, I don't dare to climb high." ”

Hansen glanced at Nemo directly, but didn't explain anything.

After shaking her head, Helen directly grabbed Hansen's arm, and then said to Nemo: "Hansen and I will be engaged soon, remember to give us a big congratulatory gift when the time comes!" ”

"It's really fake!"

Nemo looked at Hansen and then at Helen with an incredulous expression.

"What are you talking about?"

Millie, the president of the student council, walked over with Nina, a member of the disciplinary committee, and asked curiously, "Are you also discussing the mechanical beasts of the Mantes Empire?" ”

"Well, we're just talking."

Nemo shook his head, then asked with some curiosity, "Did the student council conclude anything about those weird automatons?" ”

Millie didn't speak, just glanced at Nina beside her. And Nina, whose eyes seemed to be glowing, nodded and began to speak.

"Based on the analysis of the wreckage, we have come to the conclusion that the mechanical beasts of the Mantes Empire are all controlled by humans."

"These people are usually located near the core of the body, but there are also some automatons whose manipulators are located in the head."

"The special thing is that these automatons don't need to be controlled by mages like our golems and build golems! Even ordinary people who don't know anything about magic should be able to learn how to control it after a period of training. ”

"As a result, this automaton is more popular than golems and golems......"

While Nina, who was in a frenzy, was still talking, Nemo had already discussed it with Millie: "It's decided? Can even ordinary people control those mechanical beasts? ”

"Hmm!"

Millie nodded heavily, "Through the analysis of the captives, we have confirmed this. ”

"I didn't expect it......"

Nemo picked up a glass of ale from the table next to him and took a sip of it to suppress his shock: "Those alchemists who were expelled in the first place were able to do such a thing......

"Although the country may already know the news, I think it is necessary for us to report it again." Millie sighed, her face looking quite serious: "The various inventions of the Alchemist Guild of the Mantes Empire over the years are enough to pose a great threat to our Maltes United Kingdom. ”

After glancing at each other, everyone saw the heavy look on each other's faces.
