Flames blazed and smoke billowed up.

The fire did burn well.

Penny Lo Penny?? Glenn stood silently in front of the northern gate of the Rock Fortress, a breeze shield around her, shielding the choking smoke from the air, and dozens of Steel Ranger warriors stood behind her, each wearing a full-coverage magic helmet, the goggles on these warriors' helmets glowing red, indicating that they were alerting all the magic around them.

The fire spread from the armory in the northern city, burning down some of the guard towers and barracks, and isolating the entire inner city into several parts, which could have been contained by the troops of the Rock Fortress, but with the collapse of the Great Shield, the order in the fortress has been lost, and even if someone wants to stand up and turn the tide, it is impossible to achieve much in the face of the already raging fire.

This fortress is finished.

Penny Lo Penny?? Glenn lowered her head and looked at the two corpses, and after a long silence, she raised her hand and gently rubbed her fingers.

She had imagined countless times what she would do if she had the power to take revenge, she had imagined that she would use all means to torment those sinners and prolong their suffering, and how she would enjoy the pleasure of revenge, but now she finally knew that when she did have the opportunity, she would not have the patience to do so.

She didn't even have the patience to let those people take an extra breath of air.

The last two people on the list have been removed, Penny Ros?? Glenn exhaled softly, suddenly feeling a little empty.

Dealing with some people with their own hands is her and Gawain?? As part of Cecil's deal, she could give everything in the Rock Fortress to the Founding Archduke, and the people of the city were born or died by the Cecil family, but only a few of them, including the first Viscount Carol, to die, had to be disposed of by her.

"Ma'am, emptiness after revenge is a normal phenomenon," Sölderling's voice suddenly interrupted Penny's state of distraction, and she heard the High Elven Ranger speak to herself in an extremely cold but calming tone, "Don't be confused by this emptiness, you are finally free from hatred - there is still a lot to do after this." ”

"Thank you," Penny calmed down and thanked Thorderlin, "Mr. Ranger, as an elf...... You must be more knowledgeable and mature than I am. ”

"Elves have a slightly different mind from humans, and I can't say who is more mature, but I do know more than you. Also, I don't have to use honorifics for me. ”

"Okay - I know you were Gawain?? Duke Cecil's comrade-in-arms," said Penny, who seemed to need something else to distract herself, "what kind of man do you think Duke Gawain is?" ”

"I'm still his comrade-in-arms," Thordrin smiled slightly, then shook his head, "and what kind of person Gawain is...... This is a difficult question to answer. His resurrected personality is a little different from 700 years ago, but it still often gives me a feeling that I can't see through, he is always thinking about things beyond our eyes, 700 years ago, he was thinking about the shelter outside the wasteland, 700 years later, he simply began to think about another era, so if you want to follow him, then I can give you only one advice: try to keep up with him, even if you don't understand, it's better than falling behind in thinking and confusion. ”

Those who strayed seven hundred years ago will be devoured by the wasteland, and those who straggle seven hundred years later will not end much better, and Sölderling has a strong instinct about this.

Penny Lo Penny?? Glenn was lost in thought for a moment, and Sölderling suddenly looked up at the streets of the inner city that were shrouded in smoke and dust, his hand already resting on the bowstring of the short bow.

The surrounding Steel Ranger warriors raised their arms and turned on the safety of their thermal ray guns and shields, while the Heavy Fireman had slung the individual orbital bomber on his shoulder and pointed it towards the end of the street.

A group of knights and soldiers, embarrassed by the smoke and fire, appeared there.

Penny looked up and saw that the commander of the group was none other than Sir Maryland's most trusted knight of the Guard.

The knight of the guard also saw the Baroness Ropenet on the other side, and at the same time saw the neat and silent black-armored warriors in strange armor behind the lady - those who were full of magic and well-equipped obviously could not be the men of the Rock Fortress, and the presence of these people was enough to prove that what Sir Maryland said before leaving was true.

Find Penny Lo Pope?? Gülen and the "sabotage team" she brought into the city was not difficult, because this team stood swaggering in the open space of the northern city, but in the chaos it wasted too much time to gather a group of soldiers who could listen to orders and had the courage to fight: a large number of soldiers had died on the southern city wall and on the guard towers and arrow towers in the city, and the rest of the people were also in disarray, and almost no one still obeyed orders, and the more than 100 people around the Guards were almost all the men who could be found in the castle.

After seeing the two corpses at Penny's feet, the Knight of the Guards realized that the baroness had probably done what she wanted to do.

The two corpses, though dressed in the clothes of handymen and grooms, had familiar faces.

The Knight of the Guards didn't know why Penny had specifically killed these two Southern nobles, but he had to at least complete the mission that Sir Maryland had given him—

The fortress can no longer be held, the southern wall is collapsing, and those two energy beams are still constantly sweeping all the commanding heights in the city, and all the defenses of this fortress have been paralyzed before the Cecil people enter, but at least, he wants to make Penny ?? Gülen stayed here.

But before the soldiers could launch a senseless attack, Thorderlin spoke first, his voice piercing the entire smoky street: "The battle is over, the soldiers of the Rock Fortress - the walls have collapsed, there is no need to continue fighting. ”

The knight of the guards drew his sword at his waist in silence: "I have my own mission. ”

"It's rare to see a knight like you in this era," Thorderling frowned at the knight of the guard, although the soldiers and other knights brought by the other party were obviously shaken and flinched when they heard the words that the city wall had collapsed, but the knight's attitude was still resolute, which made him sigh, "If those southern nobles had the same courage and consciousness as you...... Ah, they'll probably be dead on Gravel Ridge. ”

The knight of the guards didn't seem to hear these words, but continued to be silent and took a step forward.

However, at this moment, the air near him suddenly distorted, and then a strange-looking, hammer-like thing appeared out of thin air, and the magic rune on the front of the hammer flashed, and a special ejection structure slammed out, slamming into the head of the Guard Knight - the latter had actually reacted slightly, but the attacker's stealth ability was too high, and when he reacted, he could not avoid it, and after the hammer fell, the venerable knight flew out on the spot, He was unconscious in mid-air.

The knights and soldiers who were guarding around didn't even react to what was happening.

A swift shadow shuttled through the air, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was already behind Thorderlin, Amber's figure condensed from the shadows, she carried a strange weapon made of mechanical structures and runic devices, and only after confirming that she had run to a safe area did she breathe a sigh of relief: "Mom...... It's so exciting...... I thought I was going to be killed......"

Thordrin glanced at the half-elf thief out of the corner of her eye—mainly at the "Mechanical Warhammer" in her hand, and suddenly felt that after the "Explosive Shot", there was another Transcendent skill that could be improved into one of the abilities of the Steel Rangers.

- Who genius came up with such a thing......

Amber looked up after a few breaths and said to Sölderlin, "Gawain...... The battle has ended on the lord's side, and the Supreme Commander of the Rock Fortress has been captured. The battle is coming to an end, reduce the size of the damage. ”

In this case, this half-elf will still say "lord" well.

Thorderling nodded after hearing Amber's message, and then looked at the "defense forces" of the Rock Fortress that were at a loss and had begun to disagree: "Soldiers—now you can lay down your arms, your highest commander has fallen, and surrendering at this time is not a loss of honor." ”

Ordinary soldiers didn't really care much about "face" when they surrendered, and his words were mainly shouted to the knights who were still a little hesitant.

It turned out that most knights were no slower to surrender than ordinary soldiers when there were steps to go down.

The last of the Rock Fortress's defenses laid down their weapons, the Steel Rangers began to take prisoners of war, and Thorderling came to the side of the comatose Knight of the Guard, looking down at each other.

"It is not honorable to stop the heroic deeds of a knight in this way, but the lord has orders to minimize unnecessary losses and casualties after victory, knight, your courage is admirable, but the battle is over," Thorderling said, shaking his head slightly, "you will understand sooner or later - after indoctrination, you will eventually become a glorious citizen of Cecil." ”

Outside the Rock Fortress, on the bow of the "Aurora" on the Whitewater River, Gawain and the Byron knights were watching the fortress walls that were collapsing in the artillery bombardment, and the disarmed Sir Maryland stood beside Gawain with a pale face, looking at the nightmarish scene in the distance.

The calibrator beam was still moving in the sky, and the last two towers in the Rock Fortress were collapsing.

In the river beside the Aurora, Tyr leaned out of the churning splash, and the river lifted her into the air like the palm of his hand, and the Kraken from the deep sea stared wide-eyed at the "rainbow cannon" on the deck of the Aurora.

In fact, she had been looking at it this way for a long time, and the beam of light formed by the pure and violent magic glittered in her eyes, which obviously aroused the great interest of the kraken.

A flare rises from the Rock Fortress, followed by a second.

Gawain exhaled softly, "The battle on Sölderling's side seems to be over, Penny??" Gülen's team survived unharmed. ”

The cannon fire from Heights 2 gradually subsided, and the huge calibrator rainbow cannon finally extinguished its devastating focusing crystal, and the constant roar of various water pumps, amplifier groups, and magic cores under the cabin slowly subsided, and finally, the "magic array" on both sides of the warship also closed its steel wings.

Silence on the Whitewater River.

Gawain glanced at the Byron knight next to him: "We can go to receive our north gate." ”

The Byron knight laughed, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a sudden splash.

Gawain saw a mermaid jump out of the water and slap on the deck of the Aurora, and then a carp stiffened and rolled over, Miss Tyre supported her body with a fish's tail, stretched out her hand and pointed at the rainbow cannon on the deck, her eyes staring at Gawain: "Give me the whole one too!" ”

Then she seemed to think that it was wrong to say this, and added: "You can just say what you want!" ”

(Note: The Powered Stick, a modified version of Cecil's Stalker skill "Stick", uses a mechanically powered hammer to slam an enemy's head, causing a temporary or permanent stun.) ）
