War, and the intervals of war.

After ordering her men to clean up the battlefield, Michelle stood alone by the wall and looked out. As far as the eye can see, it is full of war, war. Even if it is a war of cold weapons, fire is still indispensable as the protagonist.

The slanting smoke was scattered on the battlefield like the fire dropped by the gods, and one by one it rose towards the sky, merging into the gray-black iron clouds. There was also the hot oil boiled on the walls, the asphalt burned under the walls, the incontinence before death, and the countless corpses that began to decompose...... It all comes together into a strong flavor.

If you still smell it and don't feel anything, it's a sign that you're used to the battlefield. This was the exact opposite of what the druids had hoped for, but Michelle had lived in the area for hundreds of years. Stopping the demons from destroying the world time and time again, she has gained the approval of nature. Michelle could have beaten the tide back on her own if she wanted to—but at the cost of attracting the more powerful beings of the Abyss to her by doing so.

Then there was a great war, and the aftermath was extinct in a radius of thousands of miles...... It is precisely because the strong restrain each other that ordinary people can survive in the cracks.

The smoke couldn't block her vision. Michelle saw that at the end of the plain, the tide of demons was still pouring in from the mountains of the Broken Ridge, and the number seemed to be endless! This made her worry about Shen Yan even more, because today was the second day that the demon had started attacking, and it was also the third day after Shen Yan left...... He still hasn't heard anything back.

Michelle inexplicably began to become worried, and wanted to turn into a dragon and go out to find it.

It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and she was very entangled with Shen Yan a few days ago. Now that Shen Yan left, Michelle's heart became empty, and she couldn't sleep at night...... knew that such a state of mind was not good for a legend, but she didn't want to make up for this "flaw".

Perhaps in terms of strength, she is a level 30 title legend, and Shen Yan is just a little warlock who has not yet hit the road. But Michelle has great confidence in Shen Yan, even more than Shen Yan himself - in fact, Shen Yan doesn't know that the people around him have high expectations for him - including the Hell Lord Filna, Aunt Ana, the God of Suffering, the legendary magician August, and so on.

They stared at Shen Yan silently, as if they were watching a person with an unlimited future just embark on the road.

The mood is a little awe-inspiring, and a little anticipation...... Maybe some of them didn't think so clearly, but it didn't prevent them from being illuminated by Shen Yan's light and involuntarily approaching him. Shen Yan is really different from the "world protagonists" who made a fortune in the past, in the eyes of those who have a heart, he is high-profile and flamboyant, and radiant!

The important thing is that he has no reverence!

You know, someone used arcane to go back in time to see Shen Yan's past and successfully caught some fragments. But when he saw the scene where he gave incense to the supreme god Io, the powerful existence he observed was directly scared! The important thing is that his rank has also dropped by one order! This shows that some supreme god is aware of this...... And he really doesn't want anyone to know!

- The news that the nobles and the gods of law suddenly retreated greatly when they were attacking the middle god power high rank, this news was known to many gods, and various conspiracy theories spread among the gods. Everyone deeply felt that there were demons on the outside, sneaky on the inside, and the situation was difficult...... I can't guess at all, it's just from some god's hand.

In short, Shen Yan didn't come back, and Michelle was anxious to become a dragon scratching the wall.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, she is still the "he" who is the leader of the Marksman Corps. The elven shooters behind Mitchell pretended not to squint, but in fact they all knew that the boss was in a daze again...... But their reverence for the boss is undiminished!

So this is the fourteenth Demon Tide War! Legend has it that the boss happened to be hanging out near the fortress when the first demon tide arrived, and he was drawn into the war. A hundred years have passed, and the elves of the legion have changed several times, but the boss still insists on not leaving until now. Moreover, the legion led by the boss has always been the unit with the greatest results and the least losses in the fortress. If the boss had been human, he might have become the commander-in-chief.

"Forget it, you stay here, I'll go back and rest!" Michelle said in a bad mood and planned to leave.

"Sir, the ...... Do you want more? A soldier asked.

Looking at the thing he was pointing to, every elf in the legion had that expression of wanting to stop talking...... It was a demon flying dragon king that was more than twenty meters long.

"I'll send you to the front tomorrow!" Michelle threatened and turned to leave.

Yesterday was the first day of the Demon Tide War, and the first to hit were the flying demons like black clouds crushing the city, the main forces of which were moa birds and demon dragons. Although it is menacing and the number seems endless, for the Bronze Fortress, this is the appetizer of the Great War. As a result, the other legions held their ground, with archers and tortoise shield infantry appearing first.

At that time, Michelle led the archery army on the city wall of the Central and Western Front, flying into the sky like a jungle of arrows, and flying dragons and dinosaurs fell like rain under the city!

The fallen corpse even piled up a large ramp along the foot of the wall. Don't look at the small group of bipedal wyverns that need a small team of experienced adventurers to exterminate, in front of the real elite army, the wyvern is a dish! Until the armpower of the archers is exhausted, the demons don't even want to break through the city walls...... Except for a few particularly powerful demons, such as the Wyvern King.

That guy has a wingspan of about 30 meters, and it looks like a real dragon!

The Demon Wyvern King wreaked havoc along the city walls, his huge claws grabbing the iron can-like infantry and dropping them from the air. Archers can't see through its thick skin, and magicians can't keep up with its speed...... For a while, no one could cure it!

As a result, when flying over the Mitchell Legion, the Legion Commander was shooting arrows and paddling with everyone at the same pace, while discussing the recipe with the cook, just in time to talk about the two-legged wyvern.

"You said that the wings of a charcoal-grilled wyvern can also be eaten by elves? Tastes similar to roasted fruit? ”

"Hmm!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the Legion Commander's hand slipped...... Then the Wyvern King lay here.

…… It's a pity that after being identified, the wings of ordinary demon wyverns are indeed edible, and they are crispy and similar to potato chips when baked; But the Flying Dragon King's is not good, and the wings are full of muscles. Roasted out is a tendon, and the elf's stomach can't digest it.

*****

"Whew~", back at the residence, Michelle can finally remove the disguise on her body and relax a little.

Let her suppress herself to the level of "Mitchell" to fight, more tiring than full firepower.

If you're not careful, you'll miss - like the hapless Wyvern. This time, the prelude to the magic tide gave her a feeling of being strong on the outside and dry on the inside. Although it looked imposing, the first wave of attacks did little damage to the Bronze Fortress, except for leaving a large pile of corpses above and below the walls.

The generals were all singing the praises of the "strategy" left by the king, and it seemed that the plan to advance to the shovel-shaped plains and the broken ridges had been a great success, and victory was at hand!

In fact, as the few people at the core know, this is actually bad news - it means that the demons are more disciplined and less of rushing forward. The first wave lacked attack power, which means that the demon is trying to control the desire to attack, and continues to accumulate power - until it can drown the entire fortress in one fell swoop!

Then this morning, the legions stationed on the Shovel Plains returned to the fortress through the Dwarven Passage, bringing back not only three thousand soldiers, but also news that the King's Heroic Spirit had ordered a retreat......

Now it's embarrassing.

Just now he was still boasting about how wise the king's strategy was, and in the blink of an eye, the king's "heroic spirit" retreat order came, and he also brought back the sword - legally as long as the king himself did not raise objections, this wartime order was absolutely valid!

What should I do? The top brawls into a mess...... The problem is that it is not only the generals who have seen the heroic spirits, but also 3,000 soldiers! That's 3,000 mouths that like to snort blindly, and now the entire fortress except for the alien legions, rumors have spread.

I didn't expect "retreat" to become an option. After Michelle returned to her room, she began to seriously ponder whether she should leave the fortress at this time and go to find Shen Yan...... Well, maybe he's "back to the city" again? Wouldn't flying to the Penrin Peninsula now scare him?

Just when she was very entangled, an unexpected person appeared at the Fourth Legion station.

Sandy Constance.

"Shen Yan is not here? I never saw him...... Is he okay? Sandy said with some disappointment. Sandy looked dazed, with gunsmoke on his face — like most recruits who had just experienced their first battle. "Then I...... I'd better wait for him to come back. ”

Although Shen Yan had been classified as a deserter in the barracks, Sandy insisted that Shen Yan was just going to do his own thing, and that he would come back sooner or later to join the fight.

Seeing Shandi, Michelle also remembered a lot of things that Shen Yan entrusted to her. "Don't worry, he'll be back soon...... Are you trying to ask how to arrange your fake death? Don't worry, today just started. When the battle gets a little harder, I'll go find you. ”

"No......" Sandy hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "Actually, what I want to say is...... I don't want to leave! I can't leave these people behind and run away alone, I want to fight! Here, in the fortress, keep fighting! Until the war is won, or the war is won!

…… I'm sorry, please help me relay to Shen Yan and thank him for his advice. Saying all his thoughts in one breath, Sandy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that what you think?" Michelle nodded approvingly, "Okay, I see! You're a good guy. ”

After saying that, Michelle flew up and knocked Sandy unconscious with a punch! Sandy was stunned for a moment when he saw "Mitchell" suddenly turn into Michelle, and his body went weak before he even had time to resist.

"Bastard, isn't that proof that I'm lazy when you say that." As a veteran fritter (orchard expert) and a veteran paddler, Michelle can't tolerate a stain on her career.

She threw Sandy into a bag in the house, then took a fruit and turned it into a bird.

"Go and inform the commander of the Western Front, just say Sandy Constance...... Lying on the side of the wall and looking out, he stumbled and fell. Since he is a member of the Constance family, he can't be too embarrassed, so it's better to report his death in battle. ”
