After some training, Ike, who was finally slightly satisfied, put away the sword in his hand, looked at Du Barry who was already lying on the ground with some amusement, and then turned his head to look at Enaiya and Enes who were panicked, and shook his head helplessly, "Although there is a lot to say, but you are no longer my subordinates now, especially Du Barry, as the chief of the iron machine team, if I heard that you have disgraced this name, don't blame me for going to you in person." ”

"Yes! Ike-sama! The two of them hurriedly stood up straight and shouted. Even Du Barry, who was lying on the ground, quickly got up from the ground after hearing Ike's words and didn't seem to continue training, and responded loudly like the two of them, but the flattering look on his face couldn't get rid of it.

"Go ahead." Ike smiled bitterly, once upon a time, Du Barry was a new star of the Iron Machine Team and a junior who had high hopes for everyone, and there was no way to find fault with it in terms of potential or combat, and the Holy Maiden of Steel personally taught this point to see the excellence of the three Du Barry, but in the past few years since Ike left, what kind of unladylike person did he meet, so that the originally strict Du Barry, with the remaining two, became like this.

Seeing that Ike seemed to be thinking, the few people who didn't want to stay longer quietly glanced at each other, and the more calm Enaiya saluted Ike respectfully, "The stairs in front go all the way up, and at the top of the tower is the guard place of Lord Arian Hurd, I wish the two adults good luck." Seeing that Ike didn't say much, three golden teleportation arrays immediately appeared under the feet of the few people who gave a sigh of relief, and they disappeared from the field of vision of the two of them in an instant.

"Are you scared?" Seeing Ike look at the exit at the top of the stairs without saying a word, Levi stepped forward and spoke.

"A little." Ike nodded honestly, "The teacher is an existence beyond the limits of human beings, I have a hunch, once I pull out my weapon, the teacher will definitely fight with me with the consciousness of killing me, and now if I fight with a strong person of the level of the teacher, let alone disrupt the battle, even whether we can escape is a luxury... ”

"You made a pact with Lord Arian Hurd?" Levi frowned, and at a glance he could see why.

"Well, the next time we draw our swords, it's time for the two of us to fight with all our might in the name of steel." Ike smiled wryly.

"Brave or strategic, what do you think about to make this agreement?" Levi couldn't help but increase his tone, this kind of death-like approach is not like what Ike, the commander known for his wisdom, can think of, and he does not deny his impulsiveness when encountering certain situations, but most of his actions after impulsiveness are also supported by strong strength. But like this, I have to say that this is the first time Levi has seen "Do you have any hole cards?" ”

"Of course there are hole cards... Ike hesitated for a moment, "It's just that I haven't got it yet... ”

“。。。。。。 Then don't make a move. After a long silence, Levi finally stepped out for the first time, and gave Ike a cold look, "If you want to get that power, don't die here." ”

"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough, especially if I die under my teacher's sword." Ike retracted his sword from its scabbard and put it on his back, "Then Levi, I'll leave it to you next, it's up to you to die for the two of us, before I destroy the bell。。。。。。 ”

"I'm in charge of keeping Lord Arian Heard at bay."

。。。。。。

Step by step to the top of the tower, each heavy step seems to have a weight of ten thousand pounds. In the center of the top of the tower, a huge bell was quietly hanging on the iron frame, and a faint seven-colored light appeared on the body of the bell, and the rich superior magic gathered near the bell could even be faintly seen with the naked eye.

"Are you coming?" In front of the bell, Arian Hurd, who was wearing white armor, spoke calmly, and under the mask that covered his face, he could imagine that indifferent face just by his voice. "Ike... And Levi, if it's the two of you, Dubari and the others really couldn't stop it. ”

"Teacher, can I ask you why you're still here?" Ike looked at the Fullmetal Maiden respectfully and replied, "Project Phantom Flame has been transferred to the Erebonian Empire, so you have no reason to stay here, right?" ”

"Naturally, I have my reasons for staying here." Arian Hurd replied without hesitation, "And the reason is very simple, this is a request made to me by the Holy Son himself, who is the most precious person. ”

"That Kia... That's a lot of work. Ike smiled wryly.

"No, this is a means of the Preservation Support Section of the Holy Son, who is the Supreme Treasure." Arian Hurd shook his head, "War ghosts, sword saints, there are so many masters gathered in front of you, if you continue to advance, I'm afraid no one can guarantee that you will be safe and sound." ”

"So Kia asked you to stop them from moving forward without killing Lloyd?" Ike immediately understood why.

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be you, although I was a little surprised, but the mission remains the same. Knocking the enemy back, that's my job now. Arian Hurd stared at the two men at the bottom of the stairs, "Come on, are you coming one by one?" Or are they on it together? Or, do you want to talk to me now? Looking at Ike without a trace of movement and Levi walking forward, the pupils under Arian Hurd's mask showed a hint of understanding, "Is that so... ”

"That's it." Lévy also responded with calm words, "Reinhardt, come forward and ask for advice!" ”

“。。。 Ike really has gathered a lot of great companions. It seemed to be a silent smile, and the oppressive atmosphere around Arian Hurd suddenly sent, and then an extremely terrifying aura came from the armor, like a beast that has been released from the cage, and the breath can be clearly touched at any time even if it is more than ten meters away.

A riding spear appeared in the void, and Arian Hurd, who was holding the riding spear tightly, surging golden fighting energy continued to beat everything around him like a wave. Under the almost substantial fighting spirit, even Levi, who was holding the Rock Eater tightly, kept breaking out in cold sweat in his hands at this time, not because of fear, but in the face of the instinctive reaction of the body of a strong man who was indeed stronger than himself, and the cells of his body were refusing to continue to fight with such a strong man.

"Even so, do you still want to fight alone?" Looking coldly at Levi in front of him, Arian Hurd shook his head, "Ike over there, this time is not an agreement between you and me, let's go together, if you don't want to die here now." ”

"I can't help it." Gritting his teeth, Ike also walked up with him, and under the grip of the long sword, the red and black long sword wrapped around the thunderbolt instantly unfolded.

"Ready? So... The Seventh Pillar of the Serpent's Apostle, Arian Heard of Steel... Follow the wish of the Son of Zero, stop some of the enemies here, and fight it out! ”
