Strange and familiar ceilings. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I opened my eyes at the end of summer, I was first attracted by the flickering candlelight of the chandelier.

Well, swaying?

Still thinking about what it was like to make the chandelier that was fixed to the ceiling shake so strongly, he sat up and looked around.

Only then did he become aware of the anomaly around him.

"What is this?"

The stone walls, the figures coming and going, the roar of artillery fire, and the dust that was shaken off from time to time, judging by the years of experience in Rainbow Verse in late summer, it seemed that this was the interior of a fortress under attack.

But why?

At the end of the summer, he remembered that he had just found an account that he hadn't logged into the game for years, and then logged in with the attitude of giving it a try, wanting to search for something valuable in this account, as he had done countless times before.

Yes, Late Summer is a number thief.

An existence that is deeply hated by all players, and it can be said that it is one of the few evils that has been brought to the new era by people from the old online games through various means, and then looted it.

Although entering the VR era, players' accounts have full security, but where there are people, there are loopholes, every year, VR game account theft cases still occur frequently, and he is a professional number thief player.

This time, he obtained an excellent account from his own intelligence source, although he has not been online for several months, but the things on his body are worth a lot of money, and he, since the last time he missed, was almost tracked down by the system to the IP address, it has been a long time since he did such a large order.

But this is not the same as saying yes!

Shouting in his heart, Late Summer cautiously observes his surroundings.

He clearly remembered that the last place where this account was logged in was Trastan, and now the territory of the Wendland Federation, it should be a prosperous commercial city.

And what's going on in this side war?

Did the monkey programmers at CCE make any epic bugs?

"Ah, you're awake?"

The doubts did not dissipate, but the thoughts of the end of summer were interrupted by a voice.

"Hmm...... Well! ”

It was just a casual promise, but when he saw the other party's appearance at the end of summer, it turned into an exclamation.

It was a dream-like beautiful girl, her long golden hair was gently tied up at the ends of her hair, her blue pupils were pure and innocent, her simple military uniform was not a fancy dress, but it was also elegant and exquisite, her skirt that was shortened to adapt to the battle swayed in mid-air, her pure white stockings outlined the beautiful curves of her legs, and her leather boots were covered with mud, but they did not contradict the impression given by the girl in front of her - the rose blooming on the battlefield, if it was described as such, the end of summer felt that it was very appropriate.

"What are you kidding!?"

Late Summer almost jumped, but the pain from his body immediately stopped him.

"Well, what's wrong?"

He asked with his head sideways, and the other party's waist-length hair fluttered.

"No, nothing."

At the end of the summer, which was stared at by the other party and felt a little embarrassed, something suddenly came to mind.

"That...... How's the battle going? ”

If your guess is not wrong-

"Well, it's not good, Wendland's attack has been going on for thirty hours, and the reinforcements are ...... Still not coming. ”

The girl bit her lip and tried to suppress the uneasiness in her heart in front of the end of summer.

It seems so.

At the end of summer, my mind suddenly brightened.

Wendland's attack, the Fortress of Terstan, the belated reinforcements, and, the beautiful maiden in front of him.

It was a memory of a long time ago, and I couldn't help but be in a trance at the end of summer.

The warm and humid southern forest, the dried straw smells of the sun, the summer breeze rustles through the leaves, the bonfire at night reflects the dancing figures of young girls and girls, and the occasional small fish caught by the clear stream licking the flames. Licking it gradually turns golden, and the slightly sour wine and slimy porridge warm the palm of the hand through the wooden cup.

and, the raging wars, the kingdoms that are losing and retreating. Army, the fortress that does not fall fell for the first and last time, until the end, the blood stained the rose, and there was no star flying in the world.

And at the end of the summer, as a former player of the Kingdom of Aster, he also began a wandering life, and finally became a profession spurned by everyone.

At the end of summer, when I remembered this, other memories also awakened.

It was the starry sky I saw when I was a child, the warm hands of my adoptive father, the hard work of my youth, the white and immaculate castle and the complicated and long prayers, and, finally, the sky filled with gunpowder.

This is belonging to Hilo. Ian Gray's memory.

At the end of summer, he thought that something was wrong with the game program of Rainbow Verse, and he reverted to the game's past scenario and campaign, but the memory was so real that he could feel the longing of Shiloh when he was young, the pride of becoming an official priest, and the regret before he died.

Late Summer didn't think the monkey programmers at CCE could do that.

So, he probably understood his current situation.

It is now the Second Age, the year 265 of the Cangyue calendar, the final stage of the Battle of the Fortress of Terestan. Of course, even if the strategic point of this so-called "fortress that does not fall" was abandoned and all the troops were reduced, the kingdom of Astor did not survive the summer of the following year - the final battle of the Bedwell Plains, with the fall of the last starry flag, the first country to stand up against the tyrannical rule of the Black Mad Lord, was finally annihilated in the dust of history.

As for the girl in front of him, after the fall of the Trestan Fortress, he was also captured by Wendland, and after fleeing in the Mordred Plateau, he led the army of the Eastern Front to fight Wendland to the death, which once gave the players of Astor hope for a turnaround.

However, she was eventually killed by the rebellious nobles, and died on the podium before the war, at the hands of her own people, in front of Shiloh.

On the day of the blood-stained roses, even the stars sighed.

That's right, this girl is the youngest daughter of the current king Arthra I, Princess Erifels.

As an Asterl player, Shiloh naturally has an extraordinary vision for this princess, and in the game, he has seen the back of Her Royal Highness charging forward countless times, as if as long as he follows Her Royal Highness, he will definitely win. When he saw the princess being assassinated and killed, Shiloh, like other Astel players, suddenly felt the urge to uninstall the game and send the blade to CCE.

At the end of summer, or Shiloh thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Now, the fortress is still standing, even if it will be destroyed in three hours in history, and Princess Elyfils, known as the shining jewel of Aster, still stands alive in front of him.

Well, the thing to do is simple.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"Well, what?"

Princess Elifils saw that the young man in front of her suddenly called out to herself after a long silence, and did not react for a moment, as if she was frightened.

"Calm down, listen to me, reinforcements won't come."

First of all, he had to tell everyone the news.

In fact, in the subsequent review of the forum, if the defenders of the Trestan Fortress choose to withdraw, then at least a considerable part of the strength can be preserved, although it is impossible to reverse the situation in the battle of the Bedwell Plains, but if it chooses to support Princess Erifels and establish a regime in exile, then in the end, the situation of the Kingdom of Astel may not be so bad.

"Wait, what are you talking about? General Livias said that reinforcements would arrive before dawn! ”

Shiloh saw a look of suspicion flash in Princess Elifils's eyes, and he secretly screamed in his heart.

As a small military priest, he actually dared to question the command of the Aster Kingdom. The Supreme Commander of the Army, Richard. General Livias' strategy must have been very suspicious to the unsuspecting princess.

Shiloh didn't dare to say what he knew about the future, because that would only lead to him being accused of madness and demagoguery, and being hanged before Wendland breached the city.

If he could be resurrected in the nearest temple after death like in a game, then Shiloh naturally didn't have to worry, however, his intuition told him that death in this world was no different from the real world.

"Well, I mean, we have to consider the possibility that reinforcements will be held back by Wendland."

Instead, Shiloh decided to convince Princess Elipels, after all, as a number thief, of course, he not only stole the contents of the original account, but also defrauded the people who were connected to that account of money, so he thought that his persuasion skills had reached the point where he no longer needed to roll the dice for identification.

"The reason why the Terestan Fortress is called the 'Fortress That Never Falls' is that, in addition to the fact that it is strong and difficult to destroy, the terrain is also an important factor."

Reiner said slowly, catching a glimpse of an open map on the table not far away, and staggered to his feet, staggering to the table.

"Look, Your Highness Princess, this is the terrain around the fortress."

With the towering Pamela Mountains in the background and the fertile and rich Plains of Trastan in front, standing between the mountain passes, as a barrier to the southern border of the kingdom, the Terestan Fortress has almost all the elements that it should have as a dead place, but in the same way, if the enemy chooses to bypass the Pamela Mountains and march from the Mordred Plateau via the Zedi to the west, although the journey will be slowed down by about a week, the situation of the Terestan Fortress is not optimistic, and it is easy to be attacked from behind.

In the history of Shiloh's memory, at this point in time, in fact, some of Wendland's troops had turned westward to make second-hand preparations for the long-term attack of the fortress of Terstan, but these troops were far from the extent of encircling the fortress and blocking reinforcements.

"So, do you think Wendland has circled the rear of the Pamela Mountains, ready to cut off Aster's reinforcements and encircle the Trestan Fortress in this place?"

Princess Eliefils is worthy of being a daughter with an orthodox royal education, and it didn't take long for Shiloh to understand Shiloh's explanation.

"Although it seems to be a little insufficient from the perspective of time, we cannot ignore such a possibility...... Ahem, rude...... I don't think I can stand for too long......"

The wound ached as Shiloh spoke, and he coughed, a rusty smell oozing from his mouth.

"It's okay, please sit down."

Princess Elyfils watched Shiloh sit down slowly, and then spoke.

"So, uh...... Sorry, Mr. Pastor, I don't know your name yet. ”

"Shiloh, Shiloh. Ian Gray, I'm the chaplain of the Fourth Legion. ”

Showing the holy emblem in his pocket, Shiloh said, having said that, at present, the Fourth Legion is actually less than thirty percent of the establishment, and the rest is estimated to be buried in this Terestan Fortress.

Fortunately, the identity of the military priest has always been in an important position, otherwise, Her Royal Highness the princess probably would not pay attention to the advice of his mere grass people.

"Well, then Mr. Ian Gray, do you have any countermeasures in the face of such a situation?"

In a gentle, but majestic, tone, Princess Elyfils asked.

Shiloh wasn't arrogant enough to think he could turn the fortress around, but at least, he wanted to save the girl in front of him.

"Of course, Your Highness the Princess."
