Act 135: Breaking the Cocoon II
Freya saw Brende subconsciously turn her head, but suddenly her chest thrust forward as if someone had pushed her from behind, and a blood-stained silver spike pierced out from under the breastplate, Brende snorted, her eyes widened, as if she had been hit hard, and opened her mouth to say something to her, but as soon as she spoke, the blood foam that flowed backwards from the pierced lung lobe immediately gushed out from the corner of her mouth.
"Don't-!" Although it is not the first time to witness life and death on the battlefield, this time it is different, this time she is the commander, and everyone's life and death are in her hands - Brende's trust in her is not an outstanding commander, and this trust is only exchanged for such a cold death.
One qiē just because of her decision.
This is wrong.
She could see the silver monster converging behind Brende like mercury, first the torso, then the head, and it was formed in the blink of an eye, and on the silver face, a large crescent-shaped mouth seemed like a silent mockery—it seemed to mock her, mocking the commander's cunning and weakness—and she had warned her, but it was still a little late, a little too late.
The pale and calm countenance of the dead Lace, the burning village of the pine mountains, and the bloodied, wide-eyed Brende, all seemed to overlap in front of her.
"Monster!"
"Monsters!" Freya felt as if her blood was congealing, and she subconsciously and stiffly drew her sword, the role of commander had long been abandoned to her, she was like a warrior who felt the burning pain in her face, and wanted to put her life to avenge her companion in order to make up for her shame.
But it was at this time that a roar came first. Instead, it drowned out her voice.
"Monster!" She heard Alaya, the same rugged fellow who had always seemed to have trouble with Brende, make this sound like a roar, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost didn't think about it, and an elbow struck the wolf away from him, and then turned back and slashed at the silver monster with a sword. Roaring from his throat: "You damn brute! ”
Such a scene seemed to freeze in front of her eyes, slowing down, stretching, and making her wake up at once. Just because she's still the commander, everyone can lose their minds because of anger, but only she doesn't have that power.
Day after day, she remembered the time she had spent studying in the Royal Knight Academy, and the tall back who had opened the door to another world for her; She is from the countryside of Buchi and is a clumsy girl. When she arrived at that place that she had never heard of or dared to think of before as a recommended student, she was left with only trepidation and anxiety in her heart, and when everyone was shining around her, she had to work hard in the dead of night to remember those knowledge that seemed taken for granted in the eyes of others, but so much knowledge, just because others were so good, and she could only follow the trend and put in double the effort than others, but even so. She was still the same Cinderella who was careful with the long skirt behind the princess.
But she still didn't choose to give up, or rather. I never dared to give up.
'The nobles will eventually give up Buch, because the weak have no right to choose. ’
'Freya, if you want to change the fate of everyone, you have to go to this place. ’
It was like a lightning bolt in the dark night, and it was like a voice that belonged only to herself, telling her in her heart:
Freya. You can't be sorry for your efforts, you have persevered in the hundreds of days and nights in the academy, and you have done it even if you had never dared to think of it before.
You put in double the effort than everyone else. Isn't it just to prove the current one? You can do it, you are no worse than anyone else, and one day, the Buchi people will be able to take control of their own destiny and take back the lost land.
'Brando......'
This dream-like murmur came to his lips but turned into a stern order: "Alaya, I order you to come back!" ”
Brende's mouth was full of blood, and he looked at her in surprise, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't have the strength to make a sound.
Alaya's sword had slashed into the monster's right arm.
A sword slashed, cutting the mercury-like arm like a hot knife cutting butter, but it had no effect, and as soon as the blade passed, the wound was restored as before.
The silver monster turned its head, its expression unchanged - or not at all, only its large, cracked, silently mocking mouth - and it let out a hollow sneer, and with a wave of its left hand, a beam of silver metal manifolds swept towards the knight's neck like a long whip.
But the black blade of the sword suddenly sliced between the two of them.
'When-' The narrow blade of the sword turned around and caused the stream of metal to completely hit the spine of the sword, scattering into countless silver particles like water droplets.
Nimesis put away her sword cleanly, and then she looked back at Freya with some surprise, the face of the girl from the countryside of Buchi was flushed, and there was still self-blame and regret in her expression, but there was only determination left in her bright light brown eyes.
She had seen such a look before, and in another dream, and occasionally when the clumsy little girl was trying to keep up with the crowd.
"Quick...... Retire ......"
Brende finally managed to make a sound.
"I'll never leave you fool, Brende!" Alaya replied angrily.
"Protect the Commander......" Brende's mouth closed as if he wanted to say it.
Freya was so sad that she wanted to cry when she saw the young knight who could barely speak, but she knew that she could not lose her cool at all—there must be a glimmer of life in a desperate situation—this is a famous quote from "Introduction to Warwards' War", and at this moment, the girl's mind flashed like lightning, and the scenes of the past that she had memorized by rote flashed in her mind and became extremely clear.
'The monster is coming at you—'
It wants to kill us. ’
But it is not enough to rely on the Pale Son. ’
Don't mess up, Freya. ’
The silver monster withdrew its bloodied right hand from behind Brende's back and glanced at Alaya who pounced on it like a mad dog, but it didn't care about the humble human, its gaze remained on Freya, if there was a gaze at all.
Alaya's second sword arrived as expected, and at the same moment, Brende fell to his knees as if he had been drained of his strength after being let go of the monster.
This qiē just happened in a moment of lightning.
"Sister Nimesis. Please go and cooperate with Alaya! Freya whispered suddenly.
Nimesis paused slightly, she didn't look back, but she asked, "Are you sure you're doing, Freya?" ”
"We still have a chance to save Brende."
"Are you sure of that?"
"I'm sure."
The female knight nodded slightly, "You are the commander, I believe you." He said. She drew her sword and stepped forward with Alaya to meet the silver monster.
Freya opened her mouth, standing in the cold wind, her fingertips a little white, she still didn't understand, she didn't understand why Brando, Miss Nimesis, believed in herself so much. Obviously, there are many people in the academy who are better than themselves, why did you choose her, just to play a game of ugly ducklings? Or is it because they see their past in themselves?
None of these are reliable. Brando may still be possible, but Sister Nimesis is not such a boring person, she once inquired about the other party's past, and she was so good that people couldn't be jealous, if there were stars in the sky, then Nimesis must be the one that shone the most.
No matter how confident Freya was, she wouldn't think she had anything in common with such a person, and Brando was the same. In addition to Sister Nimeisis, can you find someone better than him?
She had a hard time believing it.
She can't read a lot of things. Sometimes she felt that the world was too complicated for her, but fortunately, Freya at least understood a little.
For her, there is only one Buch.
It was just a moment of trance, and she reacted, leaving little time for her. She had to make a decision right away. She raised her head, as if she had mustered up all the courage to raise her voice calmly, and gave such an order:
"Sister Nimesis, Alaya, stop that monster." Then she took out the trombone from her waist - the trombone of the Cruz people, the testimony of the glory of the Order of the Sword, and the fact that Brende and Little Pelo gave her the trombone for safekeeping, which in itself was a heavy trust, and Freya did not hesitate, puffed up her breath, and blew hard.
"Woo-"
The long sound of the horn resounded through the valley, trembling and distant, as if it contained whispers from ancient times; When the horn sounded through the mountains, not only the wolves in the valley, but also the knights who were fighting alone.
As if subconsciously, they listened.
"Knights of the Knights of the Broken Sword, don't fight alone, move closer to me, converge at the bottom of the valley, we are united, there is still a chance to win."
A voice echoed between the valleys.
The girl's voice was so calm that it was even beyond her own imagination, and before this, she could never believe that she would remain calm in such a situation.
The young men of the Knights of the Broken Sword looked around as they fended off a strong enemy, and sure enough, they saw the silver banner that had been torn to pieces between the galloping wolves.
The flag is still there, and the sword is still fighting.
The knights roared in unison.
"Back off? Don't even think about it, don't be a self-righteous commander in front of me, who do you think you are," only Alaya was still roaring: "Brende, hold on, I'll save you right away!" ”
Freya didn't hear what he said, she stared at the monster, Alaya attacked the silver monster like crazy, Nimesis was on the side, the female knight often did not attack, but only dragged the silver monster's attack, as if Freya had ordered, covering him to save Brende.
The monster seemed to sense the strange movement on the battlefield, and it looked up, although there was no expression on its face, but for the first time, the girl from the country of Buchi really felt the anxiety in its heart.
"Don't try to catch me, monster, you've lost your chance."
She stared at each other and said word by word.
After saying that, she held the temporary 'battle flag' in one hand and turned around and retreated to the bottom. Of the several people present, only Nimesis, who had been paying attention to the movement behind her, and Brende, who was kneeling on the ground, noticed her move.
There was a gleam in the female knight's eyes, but Brende was the first to react.
"Stop it!" The young knight kneeling on the ground seemed to tremble for a moment, and suddenly let out a hoarse roar: "Alaya, otherwise I will break off my friendship with you!" ”
Nimesis subconsciously wanted to turn around, but no sooner had she turned around than a mercury-like curtain had completely separated her from Alaya on the other side.
"Don't want to run, the trick of a thousand years ago won't work now!"
A grim voice passed over her and instantly lunged in Freya's direction.
"Don't do anything stupid, Freya, do you know what you're pinning on!" The knightess's heart was cold, and she suddenly understood Freya's true intentions, but what she didn't expect was that the child had learned to lie to her.
In the next moment, the mercury curtain had knocked her and Alaya flying.
