A night full of murderous intent was spent in horror and tension.

Sophia moved Owen and Alice to the same room for healing and protection, but after all, men and women are different, and it has not been so convenient to care for them together for a long time.

It was at this time that someone volunteered to take care of Alice - this person was Christina who had been involved in another incident not long ago. For the sake of Christina's sincere request and expectant gaze, Sophia quickly agreed. Since Christina was originally Alice's personal soldier, it was naturally the best choice for her to take care of Alice, and Sophia didn't have to take all the affairs on her shoulders, after all, even if Sophia was stronger, the pressure she could withstand was limited.

However, the ideal will always exist only in the imagination. From midnight to early morning, Christina was still missing, which made Sophia feel like she was being "released from the pigeons".

"What is that girl doing, taking so long to get a dress?" Sophia nagged in her heart. "Take the clothes" was the reason for Christina to leave for a while, and then it was gone. Normally, the waiting time is enough for Christina to go back and forth 50 times. "Did something happen to her?" said an ominous thought to Sophia. But now Sophia couldn't get too far away from Owen and Alice, and if this was the enemy's ploy to divert the tiger, the two incapacitated wounded would be in danger. Therefore, Sophia could wait until after dawn, when there was enough light to greatly reduce the chance of being attacked, and then decided to go out and find out.

"Please keep your post, and you must not let anyone approach without my personal order. ”

"Yes. ”

Although there were as many as 40 troops deployed around the room, Sophia cautiously and cautiously admonished the officer in charge of the guard, and then casually put the padded jacket on her body and walked out of the field.

At the edge of the Elven Forest, fog rises in the morning, and although Sophia has not lived in the Avenger camp for a long time, she has experienced several morning fogs and has long been accustomed to it, but this morning's fog has made Sophia feel very unusual. In particular, the biting cold wind in the thick fog did not seem to have formed naturally at all. Under the invasion of the cold wind and fog, Sophia shivered, hugged the only cotton jacket on her body that could protect against the cold, and walked forward evenly.

Sophia walked to the clearing near the school grounds. Although we are under emergency martial law, we still have to live the life we need to live and the work we need to do. At this time, more than a dozen male and female villagers of different ages and sizes were busy, some were cleaning, some were checking equipment, and some were pushing rickshaws full of horse fodder...... When they saw Sophia coming alone, they all politely and briefly saluted Sophia before continuing their work. For Sophia, although she has become the de facto leader of the Restoration, she has never put on the role of a princess, so she often walks around the camp alone without a single guard, and the soldiers and civilians in the camp are accustomed to this.

At this time, Sophia came to an uncle in his 40s who was sweeping the floor, and asked with a smile, "Hello, uncle, do you know where Christina lives?"

"Your Highness, who are you talking about? ”

"Hmm...... It was the residence of the female guards beside Captain Alice. ”

"Oh, over there--"

Uncle pointed in the direction of northeast.

"Thank you. Sophia politely thanked Da and walked in the direction he was pointing to the northeast.

But after walking more than ten meters, Sophia suddenly stopped.

The others were apparently aware of Sophia's pause, but they didn't look sideways or pay the slightest attention, and instead went about their work on their own, paying no attention to Sophia at all. This act of trying to cover up further confirms that the speculation in Sophia's mind that she does not want to see is true.

"Everyone!" Sophia sighed deeply and said to everyone present, "do you have any plans to quit before you do it?"

The cold air seemed to be frozen in an instant.

The last layer of window paper was punctured. No matter how deep it is hidden, the suffocating murderous aura and hostile gaze can never be concealed. Hearing Sophia say this, the people who were still working a second ago put down their work one after another. Now that you know that you have been exposed, there is no need to continue to disguise.

In the cold wind and dense fog, the killing machine that was approaching step by step was particularly thick. Sophia, who had just asked him for directions, broke the broom in his hand and pulled out a spike that was hidden inside. The others also took out all kinds of deadly murder weapons from the grass, instruments, and clothes, and surrounded Sophia in a half-moon shape. No one heeded Sophia's advice to quit before launching a sneak attack.

"Alas......" Sophia sighed again. At this time, she was barehanded, and the only thing that could be called a "weapon" was a silver cross tied around her neck, but Sophia knew that in this case, she could not avoid a killing.

......

A few minutes later, Sophia, covered in blood on her padded jacket, returned to the place where she had placed the unconscious Owen and Alice. Sophia knew that although the dozen or so people just now were all of extraordinary strength, it was obviously unrealistic to rely on these people alone to attack her, which showed that the enemy was carrying out some more terrible plans. "Divert the tiger from the mountain" - this was the first thought that came to Sophia's mind, so after solving the trouble, Sophia immediately turned back the way she came.

However, Sophia is unsuccessful in getting back to Alice and Owen because she finds herself lost in the fog.

"It is really the 'pure' and 'kind' Princess Sophia. Not only are people good-looking, they speak well, and they do things beautifully. ”

A female voice suddenly sounded in the mist, and although the language was full of praise for Sophia, Sophia could hear that it was all ironic rhetoric.

"Who are you?" Sophia snapped at the sensing that someone was not coming.

"It's already hard to protect themselves, and they even worry about my safety and run out alone. It's really hard for you to play those fake and bloody hypocrisies to this part. The voice in the fog continued sarcastically.

"Are you Christina?" At this point, Sophia had already guessed the identity of the owner of the voice.

"You enjoy the feeling of saying that you want to lead us, saying beautiful words, but slaughtering your own subjects without mercy. ”

"You arranged all those people just now, right? Christina, I should have suspected that you had a problem!"

"Really, then, it's up to everyone to pay for your own indecision. ”

"Who the hell are you, and what have you done?"

"Hey, guess. ”

As soon as Christina's words fell, a round of sharp arrows suddenly sounded in the cold fog and pierced the sky, and dozens of sharp arrows covered Sophia's location from all directions.

In the cold mist, only a loud "boom" was suddenly heard, and Sophia, who awakened the soul of the Valkyrie at the critical moment, used a move "Queen's Holy Shield" to offset the attack of the rain of arrows, and then threw the shield burning with the flame of extinction into the sky, using the "Heavenly Punishment", throwing countless small stray fire bullets around. The Valkyrie's flames drove away the bitter cold and dispelled the white mist.

The field of vision suddenly widened, and Christina, who was hiding in the cold mist, and the twenty crossbowmen who secretly released cold arrows, were all exposed.

However, Sophia discovered something even more serious: the entire village, nay, almost the entire Avenger camp, was frozen up.
