Regardless of whether or not the Abyss really exists near Taven City, the erosion that is happening to Octavir now is certainly not fake, which shows that the Abyss is indeed affecting the girl trying to recover the crystal weapon, and it is very urgent. So even if the other party is operating from a distance, if there is a serious problem with the most critical crystal weapon, it must be impossible to sit still.

It's like suddenly losing touch with the abyss or something.

At that time, the abyss will most likely jump out of the shadows or rush over from afar to find out, maybe it will be difficult to take out the enemy with the current combat power of Taven City, but at least try to defeat it, so that the guy will give up the intention of using his brains and making small moves.

If it is done properly, it will be better to cause trouble and lead the abyss to fight with the coalition forces, but it should not be so easy to operate.

"That's right, but are you sure that the abyss will take the bait?" Octavier couldn't help but frown and muttered after listening to Nangong Rong's brief introduction, "After all, the abyss must have known your ability for a long time, and after the crystal weapon in my hand lost control, I would definitely be the first to think that it was you who did it, instead of running over to check the situation in a panic." ”

"What if the crystal weapon has only lost its connection with the abyss, and has not changed much in itself, and is still producing abyssal energy to eat away at your body?

The young man's rhetorical question made everyone in the room start to think seriously, and the eldest princess even said with a strange expression on her face: "Uh, could it be that you want to create an illusion that the transformation of the crystal weapon has just begun?" If the other party is really in a hurry to recover the crystal weapon, then this situation will definitely not be regarded as not seeing, and then it is possible to choose to stop it in person, and then you can lead it out?"

Nangong Rong shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Anyway, the person who should be anxious is the other party and not us, as long as Octavir you are willing to give up that evil and dangerous power, I can ...... at any time"

Before the words fell, the girl's eyes suddenly bloomed with a terrifying red light, and she roared like crazy: "Don't you think!"

was so shocked that Charlotte next to her hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, so she didn't let her do anything about rushing up and exchanging scolding with the young man on the spot.

The startling of the other two girls in the vicinity did not last long, Octavir quickly regained consciousness and shook his head vigorously and said with a puzzled face: "What just happened, why did Charlotte clamp my arm to restrict my movement?"

The knight repeatedly confirmed that he felt that the girl had really returned to normal, and then let go of the other party, and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, you don't remember anything?"

"What do you remember?"

The bewildered look on the girl's face didn't look like she was cheating, Nangong Rong couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand and sighed deeply: "It seems that she is not lightly ill, did she become like this when she went outside the city before and waved the Phantom Phoenix Ming, and the abyss is also impatient." Of course, it may also be that the abyssal energy that was originally intended to lurk in Octavil's body and slowly erode her reacted to the energy that I deliberately left, and began to come alive as if I had been woken up. ”

It is not surprising that the eldest princess who is affected by the abyss regards Nangong Rong, who is the greatest threat to the abyss, as an enemy, but if this situation still occurs on the battlefield, it will be too bad, Charlotte doesn't want to mess up or something like that, so she immediately looked at Nangong Rong and asked seriously: "Can you find a way to cure her?"

"Of course, although the pain just now will inevitably appear again and the burden on the body will be relatively large, but after all, we can completely get rid of the erosion of the abyss. Speaking of this, Nangong Rong suddenly paused for a moment for no reason, "The premise is that she won't use that weapon again." ”

Sure enough, just as the young man was worried, Octavir immediately shook his head very resolutely when he heard this: "No, at least until I repel the three coalition forces this time, I will not give up using it no matter what." ”

"I think so. Nangong Rong spread his hands without the slightest surprise at this and said, "Then you can only use the Illusory Phoenix Sound once, and I will treat you once, and at the same time, you must also pray that the abyss will not speed up the erosion during the battle, otherwise you will not even be saved when you become the opponent's puppet." ”

Well, even though he wasn't saved, he didn't have to kill the puppeteerized Octavir. With his special ability, Nangong Rong could [snatch] the control of the eldest princess from the abyss, and then do something strange to her...... This doesn't count.

Theoretically, Stephanie, who is also influenced and controlled by the Abyss as a child of the plane, can do the same to her, but the boy thinks that he will definitely be blown off by the black-haired girl's crossbow arrow before he can complete the goal.

It's better to leave it to the alliance group who are also bigwigs to do this kind of thing.

Obviously, Octavir didn't see that Nangong Rong was opening her mind at this moment, she bent down to pick up the crystal version of the Illusion Phoenix that had fallen to the ground because of the pain, looked down at the other party and said unhurriedly: "That's enough, as long as you can hold on until you repel the coalition forces." Of course, if the abyss really jumped out halfway and tried to take back this thing and intended to control me, Nangong Rong, you don't have to hesitate to be ruthless to me directly. ”

"Husband, as long as you don't make another stupid mistake and drive me to another world, but stay by your side, I promise that you will never let the abyss affect and control you. ”

Don't even think about Rogge's final boss coming.

The young man's slightly ridiculous statement made the eldest princess angry, and she glanced at the other party with an unhappy face: "I'm really sorry before, hey! In addition, I am already fully dressed, if you want to expel the abyss energy, will you ...... again?"

"I admit that your benefits are indeed very eye-catching, but the purpose of the examination is to see if there is any abnormality, and as for the treatment, we only need to hold hands. ”

A blonde Lori who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic suddenly jumped to her feet on the screen and shouted loudly: "How can you be so unreasonable, here it is clear that there should be no guilt at all and lie to her that not only the top but also the bottom must be taken off clean, right, a guy like you who can't even make up reasons and can't use this to prescribe more drugs on prescriptions can only be a quack doctor forever?

Nangong Rong raised his hand to cover his watch expressionlessly, making the golden retriever's next words all turn into a muffled "woo" sound.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I seem to have forgotten to close the cage door and let something strange escape. ”

"Ah, actually, I don't care at all if you say [Where are you a black-hearted doctor?] here. ”

—————————————————— I don't care about the dividing line——————————————————

In the end, the Allied tanks did not reach the foot of the walls of Taven, and in addition to the steep slopes, the defenders dug wide and deep anti-tank trenches on the section of the road outside the city where armored vehicles could travel. After dropping more than a dozen chariots and the corpses of many soldiers trying to fill the pit near this impassable pit, the exhausted coalition forces finally chose to retreat.

If it weren't for the pitiful number of armor-piercing weapons in Old Man Toronso's hands, I am afraid that the casualties of the coalition forces would be even greater. Despite this, the Duke resolutely did not let Octavir take the initiative anymore, and he didn't even have the idea of letting Nangong Rong come over to create a puppet to help, he wanted to let the three rabbit cubs on the other side know that the eldest princess and her little friends were not the only ones in this city who could fight the coalition forces.

And if the royal family members are desperate to fight on the battlefield at every turn, where will they put their soldiers' faces?

After a day of fierce fighting, Toronso finally waited for dinner time that would allow his whole body to relax his nerves and experience the beauty of life. Originally, the old man invited Octavier, but the eldest princess seemed to prefer to accompany her younger brother, but in the end, he invited Nangong Rong, who was not very eye-to-eye with many officers who followed the concept of imperial supremacy, and his little female companion Lin Weiyin.

The old man felt a little headache, but in any case, the ability that the young man showed during the day was really amazing, even if it was only superficial and formal friendliness, it was better than falling out with him.

On the long table in the hall where Ley received Octavire, who had arrived in Taven City, Toronso hosted a banquet for his men and Nangong Rong and Lin Weiyin.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a feast, because the simple foods such as bread, pumpkin pie and vegetable soup are served, and it is naturally impossible to eat so luxuriously when the city is surrounded by enemies. Fortunately, the old man took out the treasured wine, and because of the victory, everyone was in a good mood, and several young junior officers were still toasting to Nangong Rong, and the atmosphere at the table was also warm.

Rye wasn't in attendance, apparently more concerned about the erosion that had occurred on Octavier. Without the siblings, the officers were even more open-minded, and if it weren't for Toronso's strict prohibition on everyone drinking too much, no amount of wine would be enough to consume.

Nominally, he couldn't get drunk so that he wouldn't be able to react quickly when the enemy attacked at night, but Nangong Rong always felt that the old man with a painful expression on his face was probably feeling sorry for his treasured wine.

The teenager who didn't let his cheap sister drink filled his stomach indiscriminately, and then put his energy into communicating with other people. Nangong Rong understood that this was a deliberate arrangement by Toronso, and using this opportunity to establish a good relationship with the officers would indeed have certain benefits for him in the future, but it was a pity that an adjutant who suddenly knocked on the door interrupted everyone's communication.

The hall was instantly silent, and even without anyone else's explanation, Nangong Rong guessed that this adjutant would definitely not show up casually during dinner or other non-working hours, and once he appeared, it meant that something quite bad had happened outside.

"What's going on?" said Old Man Toronso with a serious face as he looked at the adjutant who quickly walked in front of him, "Could it be that the reinforcements from the three rabbit cubs outside the city have arrived?"

"If that were the case, I wouldn't have made a special trip, anyway, you wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. But unfortunately, I would like to report on something else. ”

"I'm listening. ”

Seeing that the Duke had no intention of listening to the report quietly, the adjutant coughed and said with a serious face: "Our several scout teams scattered outside have sent strange news, and they can't be sure what is going on, because they have pieced together all kinds of fragmentary information after observing from a long distance and listening to the accounts of the fleeing people. ”

There was a whisper of conversation at the dinner table, but it soon disappeared after the old man spoke: "As long as there is a suspicious point, it is the most terrible thing to find a suspicious point but not pay attention to it." So, what exactly?"

"Some of the residents of the villages occupied by the coalition forces did not carry enough food and clothing because they fled in a hurry, and the more daring ones tried to sneak back to fetch them, only to find that the soldiers who remained in the villages had all turned into zombie-like undead creatures. Strangely, when the coalition convoy passed by, these undead behaved like living people, and there was no flaw at all. Our scouts attempted to kidnap an enemy soldier from a sentry near the village to see what was going on, but all of them failed because they were discovered. ”

"Everybody?"

"No exceptions. ”

Toronso suddenly pinched the gray but straight beard on his lips and groaned, trying to think about whether this was a mistake by the frightened civilians or an illusion deliberately created by the coalition forces to set some kind of trap, when he accidentally saw Nangong Rong's face become quite bad.

This couldn't help but arouse the old man's curiosity, so he said to the young man: "Nangong Rong, did you think of something?"

"Well, what do you say? Even if your scouts were all parallel goods—which is certainly not possible—it would not have been possible to kidnap them once, it means that either the average Coalition soldier is more trained than your scouts, or they have an instinctive reaction to the aura of a living person who approaches them. So I think it's very likely that those enemy soldiers have actually turned into undead, and can make them behave like normal creatures, and I happen to know one. ”

"Is that the abyss you mentioned to Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

The young man nodded very seriously: "That's right, the abyss has already eaten the troops left behind by the coalition forces without their knowledge, and it seems that they are ready to wipe them out at the same time as us." ”
