The sunlight that floats on the surface of the skin is very gentle in winter, and the whole town of your is enveloped in a lively atmosphere.

When I entered the town, Li Fang, I found that it happened to be a local festival in the past two days, and people were celebrating it in a traditional way.

Pedestrians have smiles on their faces, and many children walk through the forest in groups of adults with strange masks in their hands.

There are a lot of things that Li Fang has never seen before, most of them are mountain delicacies and handmade small pieces. In the hustle and bustle, various sounds mingle into a lively tone, and various smells form a strange incense.

And in the crowd immersed in the festive atmosphere, wearing a cloak that can cover the whole person, Annabelle senses the demonic aura and walks through the lively streets with Li Fang, who is also dressed.

The meeting point is in a deserted building on the edge of the town of your, which looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

Except for the sound from afar, there was not the slightest festive atmosphere in the deserted building. The damp corners of the ground are covered with moss, vines climb the crumbling courtyard walls, and all kinds of nameless grasses are scattered scattered, and the overall situation is a bit of desolate life.

Sunlight poured through the hole in the roof, the dust in the air was visible, and in the bright circle of light, three tall and slender men with blond hair and silver eyes waited for the great sword to gather, and Annabelle was the last to arrive.

Walking in, Li Fang unexpectedly found that there were two familiar faces.

"Finally meet again, Anna-senpai." Cynthia smiled slightly, her petite face full of joy at reunion.

"I didn't expect you to receive the task of defeating the Awakened so soon." Quintina took the initiative to step forward, in addition to showing a wry smile of misfortune because of the mission, she actually had the joy of saying goodbye in her heart, and she would feel much more at ease to have such a companion whose real strength was comparable to that of a single-digit warrior on this mission.

"I'm so lucky to see you again." Annabelle greeted the greetings of the two and showed a reassuring smile: "Has Cynthia been ranked within NO.30?" ”

"Well, I just came up short, and I'm currently NO.24." Cynthia, who had a double braid and was only taller than Li Fang's forehead, replied.

"Anna, senior, what is your current ranking?"

"NO.16, I also just got promoted."

"That's amazing! Obviously, I used to be the leader. ”

Annabelle couldn't help but wonder, if it weren't for Li Fang's equipment bonus, the gap between her and Cynthia would be getting farther and farther now, and this junior's talent was much better than herself.

Then she turned to look at Quintina, a warrior about her height who wore shoulder-length hair haphazardly tied back her neck.

"Are you also responsible for sensing demonic energy this time?"

"Well, it seems that because of this, I was chosen again." Quintina seemed to have a stomach full of grumbling when she spoke.

"Could it be that there are very few big swords that have the ability to perceive demonic energy?" Li Fang couldn't help but ask.

"It's not much, and my ranking is just right." Quintina's tone didn't seem very uncertain.

"There have never been very many warriors who can sense demonic energy from a distance, and among all the fighters I know of at the moment, I can count them on one hand."

Behind Cynthia and Quintina, the woman who had been silent suddenly explained.

She was a little taller than Annabelle, with long hair with slightly wavy ends, but her expression was a little cold. She looked at Annabelle, who had brought Li Fang to her, and asked, "This child?" ”

"He's not on the mission, I'll put him here." Annabelle explained.

"Yes." The big sword with the wavy shape at the end of his hair nodded slightly, and continued: "Now that the people have arrived, although it seems that you know each other, let's introduce yourself first." ”

"My name is Deborah," her eyes sparkled with confidence, "I'm the current NO.9, an offensive fighter with three crusades against the Awoken." ”

Seeing this, the three of them began to introduce themselves.

"Cynthia, NO.24, is a defensive warrior, and this is my first mission to defeat the Awoken."

"Quintina, an offensive warrior, ranked No.27, has two crusades against the Awoken."

"Annabelle, Assault Warrior, NO.16, has experience in a crusade against the Awoken."

This is probably the "standard configuration" of the general Awoken crusade team, but if there is a shortcoming, it is that for the Awoken named Penny who is going to be defeated this time, Deborah as the captain is ranked a little lower, after all, Kimir reminded Penny that she also had some strength during the warrior period.

Although the strength of the awakened will hardly increase again, their awakened strength is based on the basic qualities they had when they were big swordsmen, and their comprehensive strength was doubled!

It is conceivable that if the warrior period is a high-ranking sword, the strength after awakening will be very strong.

"Since I'm the highest-ranked of us, can I lead this operation?" Deborah's tone was polite, and her gaze was focused on Cynthia, who was still inexperienced.

The two highest-ranked fighters on the team are both offensive fighters, which is the strength of this team, and Cynthia, as a defensive fighter with both strength and experience, Deborah wants her to play as hard as she can and not be the one who drags behind.

As for Quintina, in Deborah's thoughts, she only has the role of finding the awakened and a little containment, just observing from the edge during the battle, and the main forces are herself and Annabelle.

The highest-ranked Greatsword automatically becomes the captain of the team, which is the default rule for all Greatsword who has gone through the Awakened Raid.

There was no objection from the crowd.

"I'll talk about the tactics of this crusade mission first," after confirming the identity of the captain, Deborah immediately spoke: "I heard from the agent that the target of this crusade is not the Miscellaneous Fish Awakened, and she was ranked No.13 when she was a warrior. ”

"So in this operation, Quintina tried not to enter the center of the battle, and if she had the opportunity, she would block the movements of the Awoken. Cynthia, you're the only defensive warrior, so if necessary, try to block some attacks for me and Annabelle. Annabelle and I were in charge of the frontal attack, supporting each other in case of danger. ”

This is another tactic to be just front, after listening to Deborah's words, Li Fang was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement. This arrangement only ensures that the four-man raiding team can fully exert their maximum offensive ability, and ignores the safety of Quintina and Cynthia.

As long as they participate in the battle, they will definitely be killed by the awakened first, without cover and lacking the ability to protect themselves.

"Anna and I have seen that awakened person before," Li Fang said, he wanted to remind this greatsword who was also quite good-looking.

"She can change an arm into a lot of whiskers, each whisker is very tough, it can extend about a hundred meters at most, it is estimated that the size will be relatively large, and her strength is still very strong, so it is best not to be caught by her whiskers, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable."

"En......" Deborah pondered for a while, carefully considering the information provided by Li Fang, and then said: "That tactical change, we will work in pairs, front and back, the front will be in charge of Kuntina and I will be in charge, and the Awakened will be handed over to Annabelle and Cynthia in the back. ”

"If the actual situation still changes, then you should pay attention to cooperation and adapt to the situation. Do you think it's okay? ”

"No problem." Cynthia responds that she has no problem at all with being able to fight alongside Anna's seniors she knows and trusts in the first Awoken crusade.

Quintina actually wanted to team up with Annabelle, after all, she had seen with her own eyes that the strength shown by Annabelle in the last battle was not inferior to that of single-digit fighters, but considering the balance of power between the two groups, she pressed her own thoughts.
