"I knew this was going to happen...... After a whirlwind swept by, Lloyd and the others flew out upside down and fell sideways next to the "big clock" - although Hyliga on the side said cool words, but there was a sense of relief in his heart - this battle...... In other words, in this trial, the "Saint of Steel" lost.

According to the agreement, she should obediently give up the passage here, and let Lloyd and them stop the resonance of the "big bell". At this point, even Kia, who had been watching the battle from the perspective of God, had no reason or position to stop Lloyd and the others from doing it—she could only watch this reality quietly somewhere in the middle of the Orchid Tower, and accept it.

There was no doubt about it—even if they multiplied the combat power of Lloyd and the others, it would be difficult for them to defeat the Fullmetal Maiden—not only because it was the highest level of combat power of the Society, but also because of the fear that if they lost, they would lose the most important thing. However, Helliga is well aware of Arian Heard's personality and what she really thinks. If it was only for trial, not for fighting, she would no longer be invincible. As long as Lloyd and the others can survive that incomparably powerful blow.

Of course, it's hard to say that such a rule is not some deep desire in Kia's heart, Helliga thought. At least for now, there is a high probability of this. If that's the case, Lloyd and the others should be better prepared for the next battle.

"Yes...... Did we win? However, the price of victory was not small at all - except for Hyliga and Filipino, who were watching the battle, Lloyd and his party were each injured a lot. Among them, Arios Marklein is the most serious. As the strongest of all the people present, he was naturally the target of the Fullmetal Maiden - with the support of the "Wind" principle, Arios was also exhausted and unable to fight again.

In addition to him, Guy, Lloyd, Randy and others were too close to the "Fullmetal Maiden" due to the way they fought, and they were all damaged to varying degrees. As a user of the Stigmata, Vaji has also received some special attention, and is now using potions to restore his strength. Of course, since Tio and Ellie and the others are not capable of fighting, Arian Heard doesn't pay much attention to them - maybe it's because of Kia's wishes. All in all, the two of them were the only ones who were safe and sound among the people who participated in the war.

"Qualified. In this way, you do have the qualifications to fight with masters such as the "War Ghost". I'm afraid the Son's worries are unfounded now. Arian Heard said calmly - a gust of wind blew, and under the shattered mask was a face that was all over the country, accompanied by beautiful long hair swaying in the wind, and everyone was in a strange mood.

"That is—she won't meddle here anymore." Heiliga added, jumping off the high platform next to her, "You can rest assured—Sigmund Orlando is not a figure of the same grade as her. ”

"But, unlike me, he's going to fight with all his might—especially because of your presence, Randolph Orlando." Arian Heard nodded, and then said to Randy, "Maybe your determination will play a more crucial role than anyone else's. Both sides. ”

"Two?" Randy repeats the statement. However, Arian Hurd doesn't seem ready to explain what the word means. She turned in the direction of Heliga: "I suppose the Imperial side should be moving forward according to your plan, right?" ”

"There are some things that can't be rushed, and you have to make him decide to do it naturally." Heiliga sighed, "I don't know the exact result—"

"I've got the message here. The siege of the "Watchtower" has been lifted, and "Thin Wolf" and "Monster Thief" have confirmed the appearance of the "Gray Rider" before retreating. Arian Hurd said, "That way, your agreement with the Abyss has been fulfilled." ”

"Not bad...... So I've got to go back as soon as possible. Heiliga nodded, "Before, Duke Kane didn't take Kruchen State seriously, but it was impossible for him not to care about the movements of Notia State. I had to prepare in advance. ”

"In that case...... You just go ahead with your actions. Arian Hurd nodded, "It just so happens that I made a decision just now. ”

"What?"

"When the civil war in the empire is over, I will go to you." Arian Heard said, with sincerity in his eyes, "Originally, I didn't intend to let anyone know about this matter, because I had judged that it was impossible to change the ending...... But your existence, after thinking about it, makes me have to admit that the whole thing has new possibilities. If you can pass a higher level of trial by then...... I hope you'll be a part of it. ”

"If you're talking about your full strength...... I think I'm pretty sure. Helliga frowned—Arian Hurd clearly had something to say.

"Well, then, please be prepared to do a multiplier than that." Arian Hurd apparently saw that Heliga was tricking her and wasn't fooled. She finally nodded to Lloyd and the others, and then nodded in the direction of Crossbell, as if to greet Kia. Then, in a burst of light, the teleportation technique that accompanied the association disappeared.

"That...... What the hell just happened? What the hell are you talking about? Guy heard it in a fog.

"Leave that one alone...... Anyway, you should stop the big bell over there. If you lose the resonance between the two sides, the barrier on the outskirts of the city should be broken. Heliga reminds them that after a very hard battle, they seem to have lost some of their main purpose.

"Oh yes...... Everyone, ...... quickly" Hearing this, Lloyd hurriedly reacted, and led a group of people to try to stop the resonance of the bell. Taking advantage of this gap, Faye walked to Helica's side, and the two quietly exchanged ideas.

"Just now the Lady of Steel said...... Lane's situation? ”

"It looks like the plan has worked...... Although it probably took longer than expected, the results did not make a difference. "And, according to her, Lane took the initiative to summon the Grey Rider to participate in the incident, and the Executors tacitly chose to retreat for the time being. Judging from the results, the deal with Vita Klotide can be regarded as a conclusion. ”

"After that, does it mean that the 'association' is no longer the same as your well water?" Fei thought about it and asked such a question.

"Theoretically, yes...... But I don't think they're going to do anything out of the ordinary. Besides, it doesn't matter if they want to do it, under the premise that "Robbery Flame" has promised not to participate in the action, the rest of them will send it when they come. Compared to this, I'm really a little worried about the attitude of Duke Kane's side. ”

"The state of Notia is under attack, and the logistics base of military capacity is in danger of being lost...... Coupled with his long-standing reliance on Chloe, he will definitely make Riene, who has the God of Horsemanship, also targeted by him. Fei said, "What's more, there's Vita fanning the flames over there......"

"yes. So, you have to hurry up and prepare actions against him. Heliga nodded, "When we get back later, we'll contact Ryne and them first, and then we'll get started." ”

In the middle of the conversation, Lloyd and the others had already stopped the bell. As in the case of the monastery, the mysterious cloud of energy that shrouded the air disappeared after the bell was stopped—but it was another thing that Lloyd and the others were more concerned about than this.

As the energy cloud dissipated, the energy beams that stretched from the sky above the city of Crossbell ceased to function. Immediately, the defensive barrier that had already crumbled due to the lack of half of the energy resonance—gradually crumbling with the loss of light.

"Good!" Lloyd couldn't help but wave his hand—pulling at the wound just now, and couldn't help but grin his teeth. I have to say that the frontal attack of Arian Hurd, who did not play the killer, even if there was Arios to attract firepower, and Randy and Guy to help contain it, such a blow was still a bit too much for Lloyd. Also in this situation are Randy and Guy - and Vaji and Arios, who have regained a lot of strength due to the protection of stigmata and "reason" respectively.

"Congratulations...... To be honest, I guessed it would be like this at the beginning. If she's serious, you don't have a chance to win. With a wave of her hand, several soft magical energies shrouded the people with different injuries, healing them," her attitude actually reflected the attitude of the "Holy Son" in her mouth—Lloyd, you should understand what this means, right? ”

"Kia......" Lloyd whispered in disappointment, and only he could understand the taste.

"Alright...... At this point, you should be able to storm the Orchid Tower and settle the account with President Dita. "As for us...... After a little bit of personal business, I'll leave here. I don't think Kia would want me to stay here anymore. ”

"Is something going on over there in the Empire?" Lloyd hesitated and asked, "If we can help if we can do anything else......

"It's the Empire's civil war that has progressed—it's hard to say the exact conclusion, but in any case the current situation is in my favor." "If you help...... Not...... I don't think you should have much position to get involved in a direct conflict within the Empire. But I don't mind bringing in a little help. It's just that, in this case, isn't it inappropriate to do so? After all, you must be short of manpower here. ”

"Hmm...... I'm afraid that the guerrilla association will not accept commissions from the private sector for some time to come. Arios nodded, "After the overthrow of the Dita government, those things are enough to keep people busy for a while. ”

"In that case, you can help me be a messenger." "I need a reliable channel of messaging that can avoid the surveillance of the Imperial Intelligence Agency as much as possible—even if they have now been broken up and have lost their de facto organizers, there will inevitably be another similar organization to take their place." ”

"No wonder you wanted us to ...... with Lady Imelda," Lloyd suddenly realized, "but you should know her situation, and with us, how can you convince her?" ”

"Take this when you see her." Heliga handed Lloyd an envelope, "There was something on it that she must be interested in." Plus, there's a token from Master Yogurus, who has promised to be part of one of my future plans. Is this an invitation? All in all, her underground channels should be very helpful to us. Because of Kia, I won't go in person this time, and I hope you can find time to help later. However, I still plan to go to the Black Moon side for myself, and there are some things that I haven't solved completely yet. Of course, I haven't forgotten what I promised Lixia. ”

"I see...... We get it. Rest assured, this letter will be in the hands of Mrs. Imelda. Lloyd patted his chest and assured.

"Other than that, you can take this." Heliga gave Lloyd a small token, "It's better to keep it all the time...... When you need it, you'll know it. ”

"I see." Heliga didn't explain, but Lloyd knew for a long time that this man always had his own reasons for doing things. Since he said so, then he just had to do it.

"Besides, it's something I warned you about before. Regardless of which side emerges victorious, once the Empire emerges from its current turmoil, Crossbell will inevitably become a military target for the Empire. The Republic can't just watch, and for that, you have to be prepared. ”

"Even so, we don't want Kia to be their so-called shield." "She's just a normal child. Crossbell's choice and responsibility should be borne by his people. ”

"It's your choice...... I won't interfere too much. Just a word of advice. Heliga nodded, "Alright...... It's time for you to go. President Dita should be panicking by now...... I'm waiting for you to go out and ring the death knell for him in the end. Of course, there is no guarantee that he will not lose his heart and finally hide a trick for you. I remember that among the three magic machines, there seems to be a government office at the top of the Orchid Tower, right? ”

"Hmm...... We'll be careful. Guy concluded, "You too...... On the Empire's side, although we can't help, we sincerely wish you a victorious start. ”

Two fists touch lightly - a teenager and a girl, a group of people with persistence and dreams, opposite each other.
