"Hmm...... This is terrible......" Estelle, who had finally figured it out, swallowed - she was not afraid of the hunters who surrounded her, but she was worried that her operation had been completely exposed.

Because the Red Ark was so big, most of the hunters on board were sent to help the scattered executors in battle, so the ship's defense was very easy to break through at the beginning. Even Estelle was in a daze and inadvertently remembering the general location of the ark.

Knowing that this was above the Sky Dome and that the only way to escape was with the help of the ship's flying boat, Estelle moved towards the lowest airship warehouse after establishing her goal—although Levi was notified and turned on a large number of barricades in the cabin, Estelle was able to get around it and finally found an exit from the lower level.

On the lower deck, Estelle was completely shocked by the sight of the battleship in front of her - but soon realized that Estelle, who had walked to the deck to reveal the reality of her goal, wanted to hurry back to the ship - unfortunately, it was too late.

"Found her." Two hunters quickly rushed over with heavy melee weapons, forcing Estelle into a corner; The three chasseurs on the outside were armed with guns and the bullets were loaded. The hunter dressed as the captain who walked at the back of them looked a little angry.

"She is worthy of being the daughter of the Sword Master. In such a situation, I also want to escape, and I have the guts. Although the hunters were enemies, they were deeply impressed by Estelle's courage, but they still honestly admonished, "Stop making useless resistance, and surrender obediently." ”

"Hehe, stop making senseless resistance, it's really ugly." The captain gritted his teeth and said, looking like he had been looking forward to this scene for a long time, "How does it feel to be caught by me?" ”

“…… You are? Estelle tilted her head, for some reason, it was clear that it was a critical moment of crisis, but the sudden appearance of the hunter in front of her made people lose their nervousness in an instant, "Have we met......?" ”

"Goo......" For some reason, the man who was suddenly very disappointed, took off his helmet, revealing a fairly handsome face, with bruises on his forehead, and looked annoyed, "It's Kilbat!" The secretary of the former mayor of Delmon! The normal self-introduction should have stopped here, but this Kilbart coincidentally added a very funny sentence: "The person who has been arrested by himself does not remember?" ”

"That...... Captain, this ...... "The hunters under him broke out in a cold sweat, it was too embarrassing.

"But, it's a surprise that you're here! Haven't you been taken over by the Kingdom Army? Why is it here!? Estelle looked up and down at the confident man with confidence written on his face, still unable to believe the fact, "And look at the way you dress...... Do you want to be part of the battle? ”

"Hmph, when the coup happened, I took advantage of the chaos to escape. After that, I was taken in by the Society, and I vowed to be loyal to the Society forever. Kilbat said with an exaggerated expression, and it seemed that similar sycophants were not less filmed when they joined the association, "As for my participation in the war...... Weird, isn't it? After joining the Society, I was able to undergo the transformation of the enhancement program, and I also learned the skills that only the most advanced hunters can master. Now I can defeat even the guerrillas! With that, Kilbart raised the machine gun in his hand and pointed it at Estil.

"Whew...... Executors or anything for the time being, how can I lose with a little minion like you! Estelle set up her long stick, "Anyway, let's break through in one go!" ”

Estelle, who began to fight the hunters, soon noticed that something was wrong - the hunters did seem to have good combat skills, and they were physically better than the average person, making them difficult to deal with at first glance. However, in her opinion, which has experienced growth, this is just a superficial growth, and may be able to scare and scare laymen, but in the face of a powerful person like her, she is still a little stretched.

That being said, Estelle was limited by her weapons and style of play, as well as the Guerrilla Guild's dictates that she could not kill her enemies - even if that restriction could be lifted against the most vicious hunters, the kind-hearted Estelle would never have thought of doing so. Several chasseurs also received the order of the Sword Emperor to "capture her alive, but try not to hurt her", and did not use the advantage of weapons to kill her, but mainly consumed. After all, Estelle is not a strong person who is good at stamina, and her own strength level is far from reaching the corresponding level, coupled with the fact that she is imprisoned, the resentment of being captive and the anger frustrated by the executor are gradually worn out, and her movements gradually slow down.

"Good chance!" Observing this, Kilbart shouted, "Come on, hold him—ah—" and approached Estelle as he rushed to get kicked out of the way, embarrassed. By the way, Estelle had been trying to break through the gap from him, in other words, Kilbart was actually a dragger.

"Oops? It looks like we're in a tough fight, so I'll help you too. Just as the crowd picked up Kilbat and was about to hug him again, another hunter came up and said.

Estelle should have felt even more desperate when she heard this—but the moment that voice sounded, she somehow felt more relieved than ever.

"Haha, there's no need for that. Although she is a tenacious girl, it is only a matter of time before she completely succumbs. Just stay there and watch. Kilbart said as he shivered as he endured the pain in his abdomen and squeezed into a smile.

"I'm not talking to you." The man said coldly, and then, he quickly drew a pair of sharp blades from his waist—and with a flash of swords, the five hunters fell to the ground in unison.

"Really, what the hell are you thinking? They are already regular guerrillas, how can they be as reckless as before? The comer took off his helmet, revealing Estelle's face that had been haunted day and night—with a cold expression, but the emotion in his eyes betrayed his true feelings, "Is it necessary to take risks like this at such a moment?" ”

Joshua ...... It's Joshua......" Estelle pinched her face hard, "It hurts, it's not a dream......"

"If it's a dream, it's much easier. Is that right? Joshua pointed behind his back.

"Huh...... Finally appeared. Levi slowly stepped out of the cabin, his fingers caressing the sword in his hand, "Considering your abilities, it's not surprising that you've sneaked here, and I'm not surprised at all by the fact that you're on the ship...... I'm curious, how did you get here? ”

"Before I even boarded the mothership, I had already infiltrated a reconnaissance boat. Since there was no executor inside, my infiltration was surprisingly easy. Joshua looked at Lévi coldly, the warmth in his eyes gone, replaced by a wariness.

"Did you even expect the professor to use the Ark? Looks like your former executor, the "Dark Fang", has fully returned. "I never thought I'd be able to see through your way of concealing yourself...... It's just that the so-called invisibility technique, once it appears, is useless, right? ”

"......" Estelle looked nervously at the pair of men who had been like siblings — suddenly, as if she had seen something, her eyes glared straight to the other side — and another familiar face was smiling at her.
