Chapter 82: The Two Reunited (I)
"What's that!" Looking at the huge ball of fire that clearly appeared in his field of vision, Jost exclaimed, "Brother Gil, look! ”
"That's ...... Conductive ...... Rocket? Jill looked at the airship burning and disintegrating in the air, and muttered, "No...... Not at all like ......"
"yes, and didn't he just say that the airship they robbed didn't have weapons on it? It couldn't be that he didn't find it during the inspection, he couldn't have made such a low-level mistake. Duolun shook his head too, it was too weird.
"Estelle, don't get excited, this thing can only be used once." The unfamiliar voice that the three of them had never heard before was vaguely transmitted along the other end of the communicator, "Since you have killed one, run quickly, and the remaining two ships will definitely be fine with the air thieves." ”
"We're not air thieves!" Jost blurted out and shouted into the communicator, "Well, we'...... Forehead ......"
"They said they wanted to be a transport company." Joshua's voice sounded very far away, small, but Jost heard his voice and calmed down.
"Huh? Is it. Just that tomboy, huh...... Wait, why do you know" Listening to Estelle's questioning from the communicator, and Joshua's panicked defense, the Capua family trio stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say.
"Ah, forget it, I'll ask you later." Torona made up his mind, "Brethren! The red attack boat to which the target association belongs! Let them see what we are capable of! ”
"Oh!" The echo sounded in the small Lynx bridge, sonorous and powerful.
The dark green figure made a difficult aerial maneuver and swooped down on the Associated Airship that was chasing after it.
"So that's ......," Joshua understood, after listening to Haliga's explanation, "that kind of thing...... Can it be stored? ”
"yes...... Advanced scroll makers can store energy so well that it doesn't drain too quickly and doesn't get accidentally activated...... But I haven't recovered yet...... Well, it didn't reach that level, so it could only be prepared on an ad hoc basis a few days before the operation. In fact, I had three of them with me, two of which I used when dealing with Levy, and the rest would have become a piece of waste paper in a few days if I didn't use it, so I might as well give it a try. ”
"I see...... But to be able to blow up the empty ship directly, isn't this power a bit too great? Estelle hadn't recovered from the shock she had just had, "even if it's close......"
"yes...... This is the most powerful of the three scrolls...... And just now I chose to excite quickly, and in an instant I released all the energy, probably because the high temperature destroyed the ship's engine equipment. And if you change the lightning chain and ice pick, it won't work so well on the ship. Heliga nodded, to put it bluntly, this flame scroll is almost completely used to target the high temperature paste face of the big target at close range, how can you lose?
"You two, stop chatting, it's time to land." In the viewfinder, the beautiful scenery of the Merway Sea Road was clearly visible, but Joshua had no time to appreciate it, his fingers quickly moving up and down a few buttons on the console, "Get back to your seat." ”
"General Cassius." Inside the fortress of Reston, a communications soldier eagerly knocked on the door of the commandant's office where Cassius was, "The air force formation has received a noteworthy message. ”
"Oh?" Cassius frowned slightly, took the report, and read it carefully, "The air battle that took place in our airspace? ”
"Yes." "One of them is the reconnaissance boat owned by the former Capua family that was looted last month...... According to our observers, the current controller of the airship is very skilled in handling the ship, and it is suspected that the previous owners of the airship, the air thieves Capua, are manipulating them. ”
"Expected. It's not surprising that if they snatched the airship, they would definitely do something. It's just that it's a little too early to be exposed? Cassius thought for a moment, "You go on, what about the other side?" ”
"On the other side is a never-before-seen red attack boat, which is probably superior to the regular guard boats of our Liber Air Force based on observation, but far inferior to the El Seyu." The soldier replied, "But despite their great advantage over the airship itself, their skills are really ...... It's hard to compliment, I'm afraid it's the level of newcomers in our Liber Air Force, so although it was a formation of two attack boats, it was beaten back by the Lynx, which was inferior to itself in terms of performance and numbers, and was not primarily used for combat. ”
“…… Okay, I got it. Go back to your job. Cassius nodded, knowing it.
"Yes!" The soldier saluted and left.
"Unknown forces...... Hehe, that's clearly the attack boat of the association...... However, it seems that they did not find too strong helpers, even if the Capua family has excellent skills in operating airships, but they are beaten to the point that they are powerless...... In addition......"
As if he remembered something, Cassius was stunned: "If there are attack boats, then there must be a base camp for them to camp and rest...... King said that day that the base where Estelle had been captured had been destroyed...... Is there anything else? Or is it ...... and ......"
Before I knew it, it was sunset. The sea still washes the sand. The most eye-catching thing in this warm picture is undoubtedly a red airboat parked on the shore. The hatch opened, and the two men stepped down one after the other. The former is dull, the latter is solemn. This discordant pace can't help but add a touch of embarrassment to the idyllic beach.
"Farewell, Estil, I hope you don't have any more attachment to me." After hesitating for a long time, Joshua spat out such a sentence, as if he had made up his mind a lot, "I am very happy to meet you again." But the two of us were never supposed to be together. Having someone like me will only hurt you...... To be honest, you're just a burden to follow me. So ......"
"You're lying." In the past, Estelle would have been deceived by Joshua's clumsy acting skills, but now that she knew all the stories of the other party, she had already made up her mind, and she simply rejected Joshua's uncertain words: "Listen, Joshua...... After hearing many stories, I have long understood one thing, and that is why you left me before...... The heart is broken, so there is no sadness about the death of my sister? So the days with me are also nothing? Will Joshua's presence hurt me? I'm just a burden to follow you? She showed no mercy and lifted the last layer of disguise on Joshua's face, "All of this is a lie, right?" ”
"How can it be a lie...... Words ......" turned around, and Joshua, who was fiercely trying to deny the girl's words, unconsciously stopped talking, and seeing this scene, the smile on Estelle's face became even bigger: "Okay, you listen to me." If you want me to say...... Joshua was just scared. ”
"......" Joshua was powerless to refute. He never imagined that he would be so powerless, so unwilling to admit it but had to admit it, even if he had already thought of a hundred or a thousand reasons, at this moment, he could only listen quietly, listen to the girl in front of him, and mercilessly expose his lies.
