That was years ago ... It's been so long that I can't remember the specifics. I only know that it was an era of beacon fire. As far as the eye can see, there is a ruined wall that has been burned by fire, and the fiery red color fills the entire memory。。。。。。。

"Huh? Let me help the other hunters? "In the Northumbria Autonomous Prefecture, a resting hunting regiment is hiding in a small forest, resting, and the head of the 'Northern Chasseurs' is chatting with a young girl with long pink hair.

"Well, this matter has spread in the hunting circles of the Northumbria Autonomous Prefecture, and as a relatively well-known hunting regiment in the Autonomous Prefecture, I have also received a request." The head of the regiment replied.

"So it's a mission, right? But why did you call me to go? Compared to me, the deputy commander and everyone will have stronger combat ability regardless of experience. The girl with long pink hair replied.

"Reserving combat power is one reason." The regiment commander explained, "The recent days have not been peaceful, and it is impossible to completely allocate combat power. Secondly, there were not many people in the regiment who met the conditions he said. Neither I nor the deputy head of the regiment are of the same kind ... And in the end, among our group, if you want to say that you have a talent for learning, Sarah, you are the strongest. The bear-like head of the hunting regiment pointed at Sarah and said, "What you lack now is experience and a way of fighting." We're ashamed to say that our fighting style isn't for you, but even so, your progress over the past few days can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. In time, we will soon be able to catch up. So I discussed it with the deputy commander, and it just happened that you could use this opportunity to learn the fighting methods of other hunters. After all, it was the order initiated by that person, and presumably there would be no incompetent recruits, so Sarah, you should take the opportunity to find a way to fight that belongs to you in addition to the mission, how about it? ”

"Even if you say so, Commander, I prefer to be with everyone." Sarah scratched her head a little with her head, "Besides, I don't have the confidence to be able to get along with other hunters... After all, that guy sent such a strange mission? Didn't he know that the hunters were all sent out en masse? ”

"This guy is weird, a big part of his mission is done like this. But it is unimaginable that none of the missions he accepted were failures, including many that even the Red Constellation and the Favonius Brigade found a little tricky. ”

"Which two are the strongest?" Sarah replied in surprise, "Captain, you won't lie to me, will you?" ”

"You haven't been a chaser for long, so naturally you don't understand his name." The regiment commander shook his head, "His name may not have much effect in normal times, but it is indeed a resounding sign in the hunting circle, as for getting along with other hunting regiments or something, you don't have to worry about this, if he didn't even think about this, he wouldn't have such a big reputation." The head of the regiment took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Sarah, patting Sarah on the shoulder heavily, "This is the time address of the contact, I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity... By the way, I forgot to mention the person's name. Ike 'Riding a Spear', that's what we call him. ”

。。。。。。

In the empty tavern, Sarah, who was alone and heroically drinking beer, glanced at the entrance from time to time. The clean table was already stacked with several empty beer glasses and a few plates of appetizers. In this war-torn era, it is difficult to have customers during the day, except for some strange people who come to drink at night. Fortunately, the owner of the tavern seems to understand that it is better to say less, even if he sees a girl drinking in broad daylight, in addition to being a little curious, he is more glad that he can do more business.

Squeak –

Some old wooden doors were pushed open, and five people staggered in. Four men and one girl, none of them looked very old, and even the girl seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old. The originally empty tavern was suddenly a little crowded because of the relationship between this group of people, the tavern owner had already run back to the room inside, so many people appeared in the daytime, plus the previous Sarah, she didn't have to think about it to know that there was a problem, in terms of the ability to save lives and watch people, it seems that few people who can run a tavern all year round want to compare, especially in the war years.

"You're Sarah from the Northern Chasseur, aren't you?" A young man who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen at the head walked straight to Sarah and sat down, "I have heard about you from your regiment leader, although the time is a little short, but please advise me more about the next time." ”

"Wait!" Sarah abruptly interrupted the youth's conversation, staring at the youth incredulously.

"Is there anything on my face?" The young man asked strangely.

"You're that Ike?" Sarah opened her mouth in surprise.

"Is there anything strange?" Ike asked rhetorically.

"No... I thought it was Ike riding a spear... It's someone like our head ... Sarah replied in a thoughtful tone, "I didn't expect you to look younger than me... ”

"To be honest, I don't want to be like your leader." Ike replied disapprerovingly, pointing to the few people sitting behind him and replied, "These four people, the next team members, from left to right, are Joseph, Rune, Sivata, and then this is Dubari." Ike gestured to the little girl who was a little anxious and replied, "Although I don't want her to come, but she insists on coming, but I can guarantee her strength, no matter how bad it is, it should be more than enough to protect herself." ”

"Ha-" Sarah looked at this strange combination a little weirdly, the first three people were fine, although they looked young, but their sturdy bodies brought people a little sense of security, but looking at Ike and the girl, Sarah was unconsciously a little anxious, "Let me ask first, what is our task?" ”

"You should know about the war in Erebonia, right?"

"Of course, thanks to it, we have more tasks all of a sudden." Sarah replied in disbelief, "Do you want to intervene in the war?" ”

"Not really." Ike shook his head, "Our mission is to destroy a Order's stronghold, which is quite hidden, and thanks to the war between Liber and Erebonia, that stronghold has been exposed. It is said that that stronghold colluded with many officials of the empire, and there were strongholds in various parts of the mainland. Our aim is to destroy the stronghold between Liber and the border with Erebonia.

"The Order?" Sarah raised her eyebrows, a little relieved, but quite curious and asked, "Is it the Qiyao Church?" ”

"Not really. Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a hostile order to the Church of the Seven Dawns, and the members of the Order do not believe in goddesses, but believe in demons, believing that demons can give them omnipotent power, and can use them to transcend the limits of human beings.

"Demons?" Sarah was a little incredulous, "What do you mean ... Are these cults? ”

"From the point of view of the Seven Yao Church, it can indeed be said." Ike replied.

"So I'm doing a mission for the church?" Sarah looked at Ike and the others behind him, well, at least none of them looked like priests.

"Poof—"

"Don't laugh at Dubarry." The sturdy Joseph patted the girl on the head unceremoniously.

"But—"

"That... Did I say something wrong? Even if she was sluggish, Sarah realized that she was wrong, and looked at Ike suspiciously.

"To be clear, we are not members of the Church, and I, Joseph, and Dubarry, together with the same Chasseur, were recruited from other places like you." Ike replied, "As for why he went so far across the border of Rilibel and Erebonia, the main reason is to deceive the eyes and ears of the Order. In Erebonia, the Order seems to have infiltrated quite strongly, and I don't want to startle you. Secondly, in the selection of recruits, I only fancy the three of you, because this mission is a small force to break through, and it does not require too many manpower, plus the restrictions on attacking the stronghold building, I tried to choose the personnel who are not limited by the mission, so I chose the three of you.

"You like me very much?" Sarah looked at Ike suspiciously, "What if I can't get along with you?" ”

“。。。 You seem to be mistaken about something. Ike sighed, "You don't need to get along with us, I don't have the time to fix your relationship, in fact, the point of this mission is to be fast, before the Liber and Erebonian forces find out." All you need is to follow my orders and do your job, it's as simple as that. ”

"I see, it's really in line with the habits of a hunter." Sarah suddenly realized, "But why at this time." If this kind of order is used, wouldn't it be good to send the news to the army and let them exterminate it. ”

"First, the army is more restrained than you think, and if they had been dispatched, perhaps the people in the stronghold would have already fled. Second, I can't be sure if there is eyeliner in the army. And thirdly, this task was given to me by my superiors, and all I could think of was to complete it myself. Ike looked at Sarah seriously and replied, "So, do you have any questions now?" ”

“。。。 One last question... What's the name of that order? ”

"Judging by the description of the mission, the D∴G Order. Well, that's what they call it. ”
