Chapter Eighty-Six: Night Attack

Life at the bootcamp can never be described as easy.

I wake up very early every day to start the day's training, and I have to go to bed early in the evening. Although it is said to be a training camp, it is almost completely required by the standards of the barracks. Occasionally, there was a sudden attack by an instructor at night.

This is definitely not for the instructors to be idle and want to toss the recruits, but to get them used to the phenomenon of night raids that will happen at any time in the future.

The attacks of the Honkai forces have always been day and night, and for them there is no need to distinguish between day and night.

Because they don't need to rest, the sun doesn't make them miserable, and the night doesn't obscure their view. These spirits of the undead who hover the gates of hell are not bound by the rules of the living.

They can launch any level of invasion at any time and in any place, so in the training camp, night attack prevention training is necessary and will be maintained. It's not every night, but it's normal to have it once or twice a week.

It's boring and nerve-wracking. In such a life, time passes quietly like flowing water. Every morning after opening your eyes, it means that a new day's boring life begins, and every evening means that the boring day is over, and tomorrow's boring life is coming.

Such a life was hardly endurable for a recruit who was still twelve or thirteen years old. They are still in the most lively stage, and their temperament is the most playful, and it is really difficult for them to live such a life in such years.

But it's also their fate.

People who were born into the Mandate of Heaven family, they always invisibly enjoyed the protection of the powerful family of Mandate of Heaven.

Although they may not be rich or rich, they are all free of food and clothing.

You must know that in this world, 'worry-free food and clothing' is something that many people can't do.

While they enjoy the protection of the Mandate of Heaven, they must also repay the Mandate of Heaven and contribute to it.

The children of Destiny are lucky.

The children of destiny are miserable.

Today is already the end of the month, and the moon at this time is already Xuanyue. On a night like this, there is no light at all. On a night like this, it is a night when everyone will be extremely vigilant.

Because as darkness comes, something that can only be done in the darkness will happen.

As the night gets deeper, so does the darkness. It's like a boundless beast pressing down on the whole land.

The silence and thickness seem to be the best interpretation of this night.

Such a night was too heavy, and nothing seemed to be able to bear such a weight, and when the heavy night was so heavy that not even the hard black poplar could bear such a night.

Bite!

Like the sound of a piece of iron being broken, a pitch-black leaf broke away from the branch, falling straight like a broken sword, and vaguely seemed to hear a burst of breaking through the air.

Bite!

There was another soft thud.

A brown leather glove gently pinched it.

"It turns out that this fallen forest, there is also autumn?" Gerald gently rubbed the leaf. The previously hard and fragile leaves seem to have taken on a softness.

"Perhaps, they still want to regain some of the feeling that they once lived." Mia stood quietly under the black poplar tree, looking up at the tall tree that seemed to lead to heaven.

She put on the Valkyrie's night walking clothes, and at this time, at night, even if there were torches, it was difficult to see her figure.

"Uncle, I've heard people say that this forest had a guardian in ancient times. When the Honkai (God) attacked, the Guardians bravely resisted the Honkai, and with the help of the woods, they drove the Honkai out again and again. The invincible Honkai can't advance an inch here. Later, Honkai bewitches the Guardian and promises him to live forever. The Guardian refuses, and chases Honkai away once more. Later, when Honkai saw that he couldn't bewitch him, he turned to bewitch the forest. Honkai said, "Guardians will die eventually, but you will live forever." Who will protect you when she dies? Then I will destroy you all. You now have a chance to stop giving the Guardians the power to come to me, and I will give the entire forest a gigantic size, a tall body, a hard body, and hideous foliage. These are the supreme powers, and you will no longer be powerless trees to be cut down. ”

These are the abilities that all trees dream of. Because as long as they have them, they will no longer be cut down.

The trees agreed. At the time of the next Honkai invasion, the forest betrayed the Guardians, who no longer provided power. The Guardian, who had lost her support, fought alone to protect the Guardian who had betrayed her and couldn't wait to plunge into the dark forest, but the Guardian finally died of exhaustion.

Honkai drove straight in, and in an instant, it occupied the forest that it had been impossible to enter for many years. It fulfilled its promise to give the trees their huge size, tall bodies, hard bodies, and hideous foliage, but he did not give the trees the ability to move, leaving them empty and useless, and taking the price of their mobility...... That's life.

The whole forest was dead from then on, and no animal wanted to stay there. Not just because of the ugly betrayal of the forest, but also because the whole forest is a dead forest.

It is true that humans can no longer cut them down at will. They are harder than iron, and who would want to look at such a thing as one such tree can cut down a hundred other trees?

Honkai quickly left the woods. The reason why Honkai wants to occupy that place so much is entirely because of the presence of the Guardian, and the Guardian is dead, and this forest has no place of interest to Honkai at all.

When the Honkai all left the place, all that was left was the wreckage. ”

Gerard listened silently as Mia finished her long story.

"Making a deal with (demons) Honkai? Hehehe...... What an interesting fairy tale. It's the first time I've heard of Honkai Akaneki talking. Maybe I still have a chance to greet its whole family in front of Honkai? Gerald's hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, his fingers lightly tapping into the already shiny wooden hilt.

For such legends, the Mandate of Heaven deliberately included a lot. Most of them are folklore, but there are signs of collapse everywhere. Many times, these legends led Destiny to discover some powerful and terrifying ancient Honkai beasts.

And those monsters are all badly wounded, and I don't know why they haven't healed.

And the heroes who seriously injured those Honkai beasts have long since disappeared, and the Mandate of Heaven can't even know their names, and can only find proof of their lives from the wounds of the Honkai beasts.

They were once alive, and they had beaten the mighty Honkaimon to death. Unknown has made significant contributions to the world.

When Destiny discovers such Honkai beasts, it will always erect a blank tombstone for them in the basement of the Vatican's papal cemetery.

There are already more than a hundred of these tombstones.

Gerald looked up and took a deep breath.

The cold breath poured into the nasal cavity, poured into the abdomen, and turned into a scorching breath and spit out.

Autumn is already deep. In autumn, it is the season of ripe fruits, but the trees that have long since collapsed have long since lost their fruits.

They don't even have seeds.

"Mia, do you think it's the heavens that are powerful, or the Honkai (God) is powerful?"

"It's already the same thing, so why bother to distinguish between the superior and the inferior." Mia's fingers brushed the rough bark of the poplar tree, "If there really is a god, it is also a high thing, and it has nothing to do with us at all." It's like an eagle in the sky who doesn't know that there are ants on the ground. They are creatures of two worlds and will not intersect at all. ”

"What if the Guardian agrees to Honkai's request."

"Maybe we're going to face a terrible opponent right now."

"Why didn't the Guardian agree to Honkai first, and then go back to deal with Honkai when he got life?" A young voice rang out.

Minai Hills couldn't help but ask.

"That way, the Guardian will be sorry for his heart first. The Guardian does not use lies, she has a noble soul, she is a proud elf. So even in the face of Honkai, she will not compromise and disdain to lie. Besides...... "A shadow appeared at the corner of Mia's mouth, "Honkai promises only eternal life, not eternal life. You can live forever if you become a dead soldier, do you think the Guardian will make himself like that? ”

Minai Hills stopped talking.

The three of them looked at each other for a long time in the cold night, and they were silent for a long time, and they did not speak to each other again. They each thought about their own thoughts, and it seemed that the story of the Guardian touched them somewhat.

"Mia, it's the end of the month." Gerald said softly.

"Hmm. Today it is twenty-nine, tomorrow it is thirty. Mia replied, "Or rather, it's tomorrow in four hours." She glanced back at the training camp. After a long time, a bad smile broke out between the snow-white teeth.

"It's almost started, right?"

Gerald nodded.

"Let's get started."

Mia laughed even more.

"In the past, we all put it in the second half of the night. I think they're pretty much used to it... So today, let's be a little earlier. ”

She took the torch from Minashires. The nocturnal gown on her body framed her round scale and soft figure in the firelight, as if you could feel the swaying of her body as she walked, and it seemed that you could imagine that if you held her in your arms, the softness was enough to make people intoxicated. If she is placed outside, it may be enough to cause chaos on the side, but in this heavenly destiny military camp where yin and yang are declining, there are not many people who appreciate her body.

She turned, and in front of her was a neat line of seven Valkyrie squads. Their eyes were full of anticipation, and their faces were full of bad smiles.

You must know that in this boring barracks, tricky recruits are the only entertainment for the Valkyries, how can they not look forward to it?

No, it's training recruits.

"So! We're going to have to be a little earlier for tonight's night attack! ”

This terrible oath echoed in the night sky, with the cold wind spreading into the distance. This seems to foreshadow the fate of these poor recruits who will be tormented by the instructors again tonight.

The wind drifted farther and farther through the colder night sky and into the window.

Xiu shivered and couldn't help but sneeze again.

It seems to be starting to get cold. Xiu thought so.

After Shuku closed the doors and windows, he was ready to change his clothes and go to bed.

Otto said that he was going out to buy a new batch of things tonight, and he secretly ran away while it was dark, and he didn't know if this guy was really so powerful, and he said that he would come and leave in such a tight place as the training camp, and the garrison of the training camp was like nothing.

But the bastard was gone, leaving behind a table full of wreckage. He's been obsessed with making new projectile carriers lately, and when Shuichi comes back, he smells all the sulfur and gunpowder, which makes him very uncomfortable. Usually because Otto was engrossed in his research, Xiu didn't want to interrupt him.

But! Otto ran away today, how long will it take to stop doing it at this time?

So he stuffed all the bottles and cans on the table under Alto's bed, opened all the doors and windows, ventilated the table, and moved directly outside the room to flush several buckets of water.

When he cleaned up the wreckage that Otto had left behind, he inevitably smelled of gunpowder, but if he was in the shower, it would be too late, and the water would be cold at this time - the barracks did not provide hot water like Caslana Castle.

Change your clothes and go to sleep. Xiu thought so.

So he took off his knight's uniform and prepared to change into another garment and fall asleep to-night.

"Bang!" The door was suddenly slammed open, and the three Heavenly Destiny Valkyries rushed in and suddenly dispersed, and pounced like cheetahs at three different angles.

He turned around with his hands in the holster on the bed behind him, drew his handcuffs and aimed them quickly.

In this case, both sides invariably stopped.

At this time, Xiu held the gun with a very regular gesture of holding the gun and aimed at the three Valkyrie instructors who were standing quietly in front of him.

And the instructors ...... Can't help but overdo it.

At this time, a cold wind blew, and Xiu couldn't help but shiver again.

He looked down and saw that he was naked......
