Chapter 19: Confusion
In the middle of Syracuse is a heavily guarded castle. It's as old as the whole of Syracuse, and it's been standing here ever since. No amount of war has left the castle silent in history.
And somewhere in this ancient castle, seven black figures sat together, discussing something fiercely.
In the doorway, a pale blue figure casually played with her beautiful hair, and smiled sarcastically at the sight.
"In my opinion, the greatest enemy today is still the mysterious Nightmare King. Even an existence like Lord Xueyi can't resist that Nightmare King's move! ”
One of the figures let out a strange laugh, seemingly fearful of the Nightmare King, but his tone was full of mockery of Xueyi.
"yes, yes! The Nightmare King is very strong, terrifyingly strong and terrifying, and the Phantom Clan is afraid that no one is his opponent, otherwise how could he only let Lord Xueyi come to guard this kind of place alone? ”
The other dark shadow chimed in, but his tone was more straightforward, and it sounded infuriating.
But Xue Yi was indifferent, as if it was not her who they were laughing at, still playing with her hair and smiling.
"That's it! You racists usually just talk about it in private, but now that it's on the table, aren't you afraid that the Phantom Clan will abandon humanity? ”
The voice of the black shadow sitting in the first seat was a little annoyed, and even a faint magic power could not help but be released around him. And as soon as he opened his mouth, the two people who were laughing at Xue Yi before seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem, and they involuntarily closed their mouths.
At this time, Xue Yi looked at them with a smile in her eyes, and stood up slightly straight.
"Go on! To be honest, I don't care about the relationship between humans and phantoms. As your captain said, without the help of the Phantom Race, I am afraid that you humans have been wiped out by now! ”
"You're ......!"
"Alright, shut up!"
The figure sitting in the first seat scolded, and then agreed with what Xue Yi said.
"That's right! If we humans didn't have the help of the phantoms, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out by now! After all, it is impossible for the human race alone to fight against the three races! After all, humanity is now in a state of surroundment, and if it weren't for the high-end combat power provided by the Phantom Clan on the front line of the battle against demons and giants, I am afraid that it would not last long! Humans alone are still a little too weak! ”
Xue Yi opened her mouth, just about to say something, but suddenly, turned around and stared out the window.
"I want to ...... Now shouldn't be the time to quarrel, we've got guests coming! It's not just a nightmare...... And demons! ”
—————— Meng Meng dividing line——————
The cold wind howled, carrying flakes of snowflakes, hitting the faces of the soldiers defending the city, making a slight noise.
At this time, there were only a few soldiers scattered on the city wall, their faces were red and purple, and they no longer felt it to the touch.
But they have long been accustomed to it, used to such cold and snowy days. But at the moment, they are complaining.
After all, at this moment, the vast majority of soldiers are in the banquet. As soon as they thought of that banquet, these lonely soldiers couldn't help but complain about why they were in the second batch.
And why complain about the second batch, the reason is very simple - because the first batch of good wine and good food, by the second batch, there is not much left. And the wine or something—something that is high-end to Syracuse—will only be symbolically left by the second batch.
In this regard, these soldiers have a lot of resentment.
They gathered in twos and threes, around small stoves—the only thing they could rely on in the cold wind. In the cold wind, that little light on the city wall can really give people a special warmth, but it can also be ......
However, this small stove does not give them warmth in the true sense, but it is also a kind of comfort for the soul, so that they will not be lonely.
"Ah...... I'm really envious of those guys! To be able to go to the first batch, why is this time so bad luck? I've always had good luck! ”
A soldier rubs his hands around the fire, complaining to his companion. The other soldier kept puffing into his palm, then hugged his cheek and rubbed it vigorously to restore his frozen face.
"That's not because you guys have a girlfriend! A lifetime of good luck has been spent in this place, so how can it be possible to enter the first batch this time? You're a cash-in-one! ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The soldier giggled, and then drew great interest from the other soldier.
"You guys seem to have been dating for a long time! When to get married? Ask my brother to go back for a drink! ”
"Yes! If you get married...... Well, there's still a month! I have a little more than a month to retire from the army, and then I can leave this hellish place and go home and get married! When the time comes, brother, I will ask ......"
The sound stopped abruptly, and all that was left was the exclamation of another soldier.
A skull flew high with searing blood. But under this ice and snow, the blood quickly cooled down as well.
Just like the soldier's life, cooled down......
The other soldier did not pay attention to the sadness of his companion's downfall, and quickly drew his gun from behind his waist and aimed it at the huge shadow behind his companion.
Silently ...... Another head flew up again, and a huge shadow appeared behind the soldier, holding a huge axe in his hand, as ruthless as an executioner.
At this moment, more than half of the dead and wounded on the east wall almost in the blink of an eye. But soon the humans organized a defense, but to no avail, the defense circle was immediately torn to pieces by those monsters.
Originally, some soldiers wanted to set off the alarm to warn the whole city. But just as he was about to pull, he found that the unknown creature had completely destroyed these alarms, leaving no room for it. I had to send someone to inform the soldiers at the banquet.
But there were too many banquet halls, after all, it was impossible for so many soldiers in the entire Syracuse City to gather in the same banquet hall, so many banquet halls were arranged to disperse the pressure.
But this also causes that if you want to report one by one, it will inevitably take a lot of time. But this is the only way, the only way for those soldiers.
Outside the city, the Nightmares use their bodies as ladders, allowing countless other Nightmares to easily climb the towers and launch surprise attacks.
Then, above the clouds, the light was blazing, and countless meteors fell, turning into fireballs and falling on the surface.
The indiscriminate attack inflicted terrible damage on the human soldiers, directly reducing their numbers by half. But it also caused great damage to the nightmares, but because the nightmares were rough and thick-skinned, there were not many nightmares that actually died. Except for those who were extremely unlucky enough to be hit by a meteorite, most of them were only seriously injured.
The demon in the clouds also showed a smile and looked at the seven legends in front of him.
—————— Meng Meng dividing line——————
Sakura looked at this sea of fire and was indifferent in her heart, because she didn't have much affection for humans either...... It's better to say that she doesn't have much affection for life, she is used to seeing life and death.
But she is used to seeing life and death, but it doesn't mean that others are also used to seeing life and death.
When a meteorite landed beside Charr, it smashed a soldier not far away into black, charred flesh, and then tumbled all over the place. This caused almost everyone, including Charles, to vomit, except for Sakura, and Asama, of course......
Sakura stared at Asa Yu, and then couldn't help but squint. She took a great interest in the girl who was listening to the song with her headphones on her faceless face, and since forming a squad, she didn't know anything about the girl except that she liked to listen to songs and read books.
Sensing the flames of war in front of her, Sakura just wanted to walk forward and join the battle, when she suddenly remembered something, and her steps in mid-air couldn't help but freeze.
“...... Stay safe and don't rush to the top of your game! ”
Yuan's words echoed in his ears, making Sakura Meng grit her teeth and say angrily.
She herself understands, not to mention that her current body is still a little weak, even if she is in a complete state, without the help of fate, it is impossible to resist the blow of the legend.
"Squad...... Stay safe! Don't step into the battlefield, maybe die! I can't keep you safe right now! I can't even protect myself......"
Sakura, who was entangled in her heart, didn't even realize that what she said didn't match the preface, and when she realized this, she frowned slightly, and stepped forward to pat Sakura's back.
"How could you not protect us?"
"Because I can't resist the attack of the legend, if the legend wants to kill you, then I can't protect you at all!"
Sakura pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Asami. And after hearing this, Qianyu couldn't help but smile.
"But legend, why would such an existence attack us? Why do you have to be able to defend against the attacks of legends? ”
"Huh?"
Sakura winked cutely, puzzled. Asa Yu smiled, then explained.
"Your role is not to fight against legends, the existence of legends at that level naturally also has legends on the human side to fight. We just need to fight the normal nightmares well. ”
"In addition, although the fate is asleep for the time being, it does not mean that you have to rely on the fate for everything, what you did before you obtained the fate, you can do it now! And don't forget, you still want us, your squad! ”
Sakura was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and gently hugged Asa Yu into her arms...... Oh no sorry! It was to throw himself into the arms of Qianyu...... After all, the height difference is somewhere, so it looks quite happy.
Feeling the delicate body that rushed into her arms, Qianyu blushed, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
(Still a kid...... But she was almost exposed just now, but luckily she didn't find out ......)
Qianyu slowly turned her head and looked at Snow City, which had turned into a sea of fire behind her, her eyes flickering slightly.
The flames shone on her long pure white hair, dyed a fiery red, like a burning red lotus......
ps: Monday's chapter, I'll make it up on Saturday...... Don't worry, I'm still very disciplined......
