Chapter 20: The First Battle in the True Sense of the Word
Sakura turned her head to look at her team, her right hand touching the long soft hair in her arms, and feeling the faint fragrance coming from the tip of her nose. Then her left pupil shone slightly, and her cherry lips opened slightly.
"Pick up the speed a little, those human soldiers won't last long...... Now I can't start my destiny for too long, and the trajectory of my destiny is blurred...... I may not be able to help you much. β
"What does it matter? Just fight......"
Charles stepped forward and patted Sakura's shoulder gently. Turning his head to look at the eastern city wall not far away, which had long been swept away by the flames of war.
Originally, the northern city wall, which was facing the north, was the most heavily defended. Even at banquets, the soldiers were deployed and defended the same as before.
However, the Nightmare Clan chose a place like the East City Wall, which was not particularly tightly defended, which caught the humans who had always thought that the Nightmare Clan would not carry out a sneak attack. This has also directly led to the collapse of the entire front, and I am afraid it will not be long before it ......
"I'm afraid there are still ten minutes left...... Nightmares can attack cities. It is very disadvantageous for us to fight directly on the front line, after all, the ordinary soldiers of the Nightmare Clan also have a strength close to that of a D-class master. β
"My plan is for our entire squad to use the terrain and engage in street battles in the city. It's about laying in ambush the traps, dealing as much damage as possible before dealing them a critical blow. β
Sakurami analyzed, then struggled for a moment, broke free from the arms of Charles, who had been holding her tightly all along, and gave her a blank look.
But she didn't notice that there was a trace of envy in the eyes of someone behind her.
No one objected to this proposal, because for the time being no one could come up with a better one.
"Hmm......"
Sakura looked around and groaned slightly. Then face the eastern city wall and point with your right hand.
"At two o'clock, there was a batch of gunpowder that had not yet been used. Asayu, please transfer that gunpowder and spread it all over the square in front of us. Wait until those nightmares come here...... No! Wait for my signal! Lin Zhi, when you see the pink light light up, you use your biggest flame to detonate them! β
"Okay!"
After saying that, Qianyu disappeared in place, and then the black powder sprinkled slowly fell from the sky.
"Let's go to the house behind us first, Lin Shi, you hide aside for the time being, and when those nightmares step into this black powder-covered area, you can set it on fire! Then let Asa Yu transfer you back, and finally...... Stay safe! β
After Sakura finished speaking, she walked towards the houses without looking back, just leaving Lin Zhi alone.
He smiled, then gently clenched his fist, placed it on his left chest, and slammed it hard.
It is the highest loyalty that a knight offers to his queen. Although he is not a knight, Sakuramu is not his queen.
"Charles and Hitomi, you are ready to retreat at any time!"
"Huh?"
They were puzzled. Sakurami then glanced at them and explained.
"The simple reason is that we simply can't stay here for long. Not because we couldn't hold out for long, but because ......"
She glanced at the brilliant splendor of the sky, where legends were fighting.
"Although I didn't really see it through the trajectory of fate, I always had a premonition of uneasiness. I'm worried about them...... It didn't last long. β
When Charles heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. Her hands clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, and some slightly whitish knuckles showed her uneasiness.
Even if these people don't obey her, they are her courtiers after all......
"Don't pay attention to the battle in the sky, that's not where we can meddle......"
"Then you didn't meddle in the battle between those legends last time?"
For some reason, Charles interrupted Sakura's words in a bit of anger. This couldn't help but make Sakura sigh, and then shook her head with a smile.
"That time was because of my fateful assistance, and with the help of Sister Xueyi behind me, I dared to be like this, okay? What's more, you don't want to think about what it was that time that made me take such a big risk to confront a group of legends. Otherwise, I'm going to fight with the legend because I'm funny...... Strictly speaking, I wasn't fighting. For legends, it's only tickling at best......"
Charles scratched his head in embarrassment, not daring to look directly into Sakura's burning gaze.
But Sakurami didn't look at Charles for too long, she turned her head to look at a boy who had always had a low sense of presence, and then whispered in a concerned tone.
"Mu Hitomi, I'll leave the healing to you. Give me a good treat! Our rear, I'll leave it to you! β
The boy, who had always been a little shy, nodded slightly, he couldn't salute like a knight like Lin Shi. But he still beat his chest decently as a sign of respect.
However, this action was too funny, and it made Sakura and Charles laugh.
"This battle is the first battle for our squad, so ...... Be sure to play beautifully! I don't expect to win, but even if I lose, no one can leave......"
Sakurami looked up at the sky, then turned her gaze to the eastern city wall, where ...... Having broken through, the human soldiers fought and retreated, and it seemed that they were also going to enter the city for street fighting.
Sakuramu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then the human soldiers in the distance seemed to notice the difference under their feet, and quickly left the black area with a shout.
However, the Nightmare Clan was very tightly entangled, and there were many human soldiers left in the black area.
But there were nightmares that were about to leave the area and enter the alleys that had formed between the houses.
This situation made Sakura feel very troubled, and her heart was full of entanglement. Seeing this, Charles on the side couldn't help but panic, and gently shook Sakura's arm.
"What can I do? The nightmare was about to leave the black area...... But there's still someone in that area! This ......"
Charles became a little at a loss, and his voice took on a hint of crying.
She's always been a person who cares about her people and what she cares about, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Sakurami to confront those legends for some human soldiers. But she knew that this situation, even Sakura Dream couldn't handle it well.
After all, Sakurami is just a human being, not a so-called god......
Sakurami gritted her teeth and let out a long sigh, as if to mourn the soldiers who died for it.
"I'm sorry, Charles!"
Immediately after, a pale pink glow filled Sakura's surroundings. Lin Shi, who saw this signal from a distance, did not hesitate, and a huge fireball landed in that black area.
Countless lights intertwined, and a deafening explosion swept through the entire Snow City, and it seemed that even those legends in the sky were alarmed.
Countless nightmares were blown away, carrying several human soldiers with them. The powerful impact killed the humans on the spot, but the nightmare ...... The vast majority of nightmares were only badly damaged, and only a small number of unlucky or previously injured nightmares welcomed their deaths.
However, this huge impact is not easy for nightmares, and the huge force causes their bodies to be misaligned. Even with the strong resilience that Nightmare possesses, it will definitely not be able to stand up in a short period of time.
Seeing this, the human soldiers who had withdrawn to the safe zone did not pay the slightest attention to the sacrificed comrades. Even if this person was drinking with you not long ago, but when he really came to the battlefield, he didn't treat everyone equally, and no one was qualified to be special.
They can't wait to step forward and end the lives of those nightmares lying on the ground and can't move, and in this way they can avenge their dead companions.
If you kill one of me, I will kill you for revenge...... No, strictly speaking, there is no hatred in war, there are only winners and losers.......
Charles looked at all this cruelty, didn't say anything, just silently wiped the corners of his eyes, and then comforted himself.
"It's okay! If it weren't for their sacrifices...... The casualties will get bigger...... It's okay...... ......"
"This is war, and it does not affect the whole situation because of the death of one or two people. Sometimes if you can leave more troops at the expense of one or two people, this kind of deal is worth it! β
"Yes! Although it is also a life, this is war after all! War, it turned out to be such a cold thing! β
Charles watched the battle in the distance, the hideous expressions of the human soldiers. Then he turned his head to look at the wooden pupil behind him.
To her surprise, Mu Hitomi didn't show any disgust at this, and even stared at all this with a blank face.
(Am I the only one who is so disgusted with war?) Hitomi ...... What kind of story is hidden that we don't know! )
Sakura glanced at Charles, who was barely recovering, and clapped her hands gently, causing Charles's eyes to turn to this place. Then the corners of her mouth curved in a cruel arc, but it was so natural.
"Alright! Don't dwell on that kind of death, there is no point! Instead of standing in place and tangling, it's better to give me a happy fight! β
After saying that, Sakura rushed out first, and her petite body burst out with a power that did not match her. A blood-red thin sword appeared in Sakura's hand, and then quickly approached a nightmare struggling to get up, and swung it down gently.
Almost instantly, the nightmare was in two, blood splattering, and entrails flowed all over the ground.
The blood that splattered fell on Sakuramu's long pink dress, shining on her cruel smile. It's like a demon who has finally revealed his true nature, with a great interest in killing......
After killing a nightmare with her own hands, Sakura didn't feel any sick to the bloody scene like normal people. On the contrary, she was very interested in itβa thirst for killing, a twisted interest......
PS: Why is Sakura interested in killing...... The explanation I gave was that she was used to being killed in her dreams, you read that right, she was used to being killed...... Anyway, I mentioned it earlier......
