Chapter 39: Elders

The speed of flying in the sky is very fast, but that is only relatively speaking, when the departure place and the destination are far away, no matter how fast you fly, it is impossible to arrive directly at the biu. So Nangong Rong chatted with Octavir for a while at the beginning, and then began to close his mouth boredly and listen to Nakiris and the eldest princess talking, and then fell asleep.

Well, the boy wasn't really asleep, otherwise the connection between him and Nakiris, but he was in a strange half-asleep state. For Nangong Rong, this feeling is no different from falling asleep and dreaming, the only thing that makes him unhappy is that this kind of rest is as uncontrollable as dreaming-because Nakiris can release a little stimulation at any time to wake up the boy.

Like now.

Nangong Rong, who was in a daze, woke up in a not too severe pain, and grinned dissatisfied: "What are you doing, hey, I just dreamed that something good was going to happen!"

Instead of using the spirit link, Nakiris replied directly with his mouth, "Do you mean rolling a pink-haired girl into bed with a pink haired girl to do some [beep--] loving things?"

This time, Nangong Rong was completely awake in a cold sweat in the real sense, and all the drowsiness and tiredness were thrown out of the clouds on the spot by the young man, if it weren't for the physical limitations, he would probably have jumped crazy at this time: "Why do you knowβ€”β€”!?"

"Ah, be reasonable, you have a connection with me along the way, okay, everyone will know what is going on in each other's minds. What's more, you're still that kind of extremely violent courtship reaction, I don't think it's even hard to notice, OK?"

It seems that sometimes the mount is too smart, and it doesn't necessarily mean that all of it is a good thing, why didn't the almighty and kind goddess give me a stupid circle of nine beings who are so powerful as Akuya that it is okay to deceive me as a mount? Nangong Rong, who was silently tearful in his heart, could only attribute it to the goddess's naughty belly, and then chose to accept it wordlessly.

"Don't be silent all of a sudden, say something. Seeing that Nangong Rong didn't squeak for a long time, Nakiris couldn't help but break the silence and said, "Tell us who that girl is, is it a real girl or is it your imagination?

Tired from the long flight, Octavir was already sitting on the dragon's back, unscrewing the kettle he was carrying and was pouring water on his head without any image, only to be squirted out by Nakiris's "surprise attack" without warning, and then the water was swept back by the oncoming wind and slammed on the girl's beautiful and delicate face.

Fortunately, after joining the army, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess got rid of her good habit of putting on makeup every day, otherwise she would have completely turned into a big flower face at this time, and even so, the girl was still in a hurry, wiping her face with a handkerchief while saying viciously, "Nakirisβ€”β€”!"

However, the snake girl Lori was completely unmoved by Octavier's roar: "What is fierce, is there something wrong with what I said? Or is it normal for Nangong Rong to be completely uninterested in you, don't you feel very sad about this situation? Taver, you are a serious 17-year-old flower season, and you can't even attract a civilian boy in such a good year, I can't help but want to cry for you!"

I have to admit that what Nakiris said does make a lot of sense, and Octavir opened his mouth several times to say something, but finally swallowed it back. After all, the girl carefully recalled the situation when she got along with Nangong Rong before, and found that the teenager did not show any nervousness, longing, or even simple appreciation for herself, this guy was so bland that it was like having the most ordinary communication with an ordinary female classmate, and this kind of thing would never happen to others.

Of course, the eldest princess had also heard some rumors about the relationship between Nangong Rong and Vilentina, and coupled with Nakiris's previous description of the girl in her teenage dreams, she was even more sure that this guy must like Vilentina - in other words, the boy already had a heart, and it was forgivable that Octavir would behave like that.

But the girl's heart is such a strange existence, although Octavier is relieved in the general truth, but for herself who surpasses Virentina in terms of identity and appearance, she has never been able to "enter" Nangong Rong's sight, but she is still angry. The more the boy is not interested in the girl, the more the girl wants to be able to attract the other party, and some people even do not hesitate to put it into action directly, so the perfect ending in the light novel, that is, the legendary Hou (Divine Beast) Palace route, is so grandly opened.

Ahem, the last sentence doesn't count. In short, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has already shown a stubborn character of not hitting the south wall and not looking back when she is still a soft and cute natural stay, although the girl has changed a lot after experiencing various things, and the soft and cute natural stay has long since ceased to exist, but this stubborn character has been retained, and ...... It was a perfect seizure on Nangong Rong.

But not now, at least when you arrive at your destination and find a chance for the two to be alone. Octavier, who had already made up her mind to let Nangong Rong bow down under her pomegranate skirt like everyone else, quietly calculated in her heart, but it was a pity that she seemed to have forgotten a very important thing, that is, she hadn't worn a skirt for a long time, and Nangong Rong hadn't seen it once.

"Okay Nakiris, you don't talk to no one when you're dumb. Octavir clenched his fists and coughed as he put on a serious look and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of dream Nangong Rong had, we have reached the sky above the target, let's get ready to land." Don't make a quick dive and be mistaken for an attack and then be shot down by your own artillery or something, and you'll definitely laugh off the teeth of the Alliance elite lurking nearby. ”

After circling around a few times, the flying dragon and the snake girl Lori began to slowly lower their altitude and fall towards the ground, and Nangong Rong also took this opportunity to look at the reinforcements on the ground.

Basically, it is no different from the army responsible for defending the imperial capital of Ledana, the same uniform, the same flag, the same livery, the same equipment, the only difference is probably the flag embroidered with the family badge of the Duke in the center of the team. Of course, no matter what kind of banner they fly, it can't change the fact that this is an ordinary army, they are not equipped with Warcraft, and they lack the means to deal with the sneak attack of a small group of Warcraft troops, which can be seen from the actions of the soldiers who are lined up in close formation, cautiously watching the surrounding wind and grass with nervous expressions.

Against Warcraft, the dense formation is the best and worst choice, because it can not only give full play to the firepower advantage, but also cause staggering and terrifying casualties after the Warcraft rushes through the firepower net and burrows into the crowd. After encountering a small number of enemy monsters, as long as the terrain is not very bad and the quality of the soldiers is not very bad, ordinary troops can use this formation to repel the opponent, and the Duke's troops have indeed done it.

But the problem was that the Duke of Toronso had not brought men to fight a steadily advancing positional battle, and he was in a hurry to rush to Ridana for reinforcements, which was obviously not suitable for a quick journey, and while he was worried about it, the guards entered the Great Tent and reported to him that someone had come from the imperial capital.

The Duke, who was already in his sixties and headed straight for seventy, did not look at all signs of aging, although his hair and beard were all snow-white, but surprisingly, there was no wrinkle on his face, his eyes were also condensed and did not appear to be sluggish, and he was even more neutral when he spoke. Of course, this should have something to do with Tolonso's experience as an imperial general when he was young, the old man was a standard warrior who could not be repeated, and what is even more commendable is that he is not stubborn at all, and he quickly accepts all kinds of new weapons that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Of course, this also includes magical beasts, but Duke Toronso never expected that the flying dragon in front of him, which was not at all inconspicuous compared to Nakiris, would be controlled by Octavier himself, which surprised the old duke a lot, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards the girl.

The entourage behind him and the nearby officers and soldiers also immediately knelt on the ground in an uproar.

"Your Highness, why did you come here in person? You don't need to do anything like supporting us. ”

Octavir looked at the respectful old duke in front of him and felt quite helpless, because listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it was simply "Miss, can you stop making trouble, it's dangerous here, go back quickly] and something like that, it is obvious that people from the outside world did not take this as a matter even if they learned the news that the eldest princess joined the army, and most people probably thought that the reason why the girl joined the army was just to set an example.

As for the eldest princess's own ability, I'm sorry, it's completely out of the consideration of all parties, even the old duke who supports the royal family.

The girl felt helpless and felt that it didn't matter at the same time, her wind spell ability had awakened and began to increase her strength at an astonishing speed, whether others believed it or not had nothing to do with the eldest princess, anyway, we will see you on the battlefield when the time comes.

"I'm sorry, Duke Toronso, but the Alliance is now very tight on the front line, and I can't just draw troops at will, so I can only find a temporary partner to come over in person. Octavir stepped forward to personally help Toronso up, and now she could only express her gratitude to the old duke who was still loyal to the royal family, "Please don't worry, he and I have participated in several actual battles and killed enemy monsters with our own hands, maybe not as good as the elite of the alliance who attacked you, but at least the performance is not too bad." ”

Nangong Rong, who was trying to play the role of a passerby next to him, couldn't help but feel a pain when he heard this, because what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said was not accurate, at least the number of kills of the young man was still zero, and at that time, when Benny's men shelled the enemy army with scorpions, the young man specifically asked if he could gain experience points by killing enemy units, so the system that answered on the spot [You kid didn't hit anyone, where did the experience points come from] can testify.

But considering his auxiliary positioning, it doesn't seem to matter.

Old man Toronso looked a little thin in Nangong Rong's eyes, but the whole person also looked more energetic, he did not refuse Octavier's support, but after standing up, he gently patted the girl's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, that old man who only knows that naughty and mischievous is okay and calls me The old man hurriedly fled behind the emperor to hide her head and tail and deliberately sell cute, and now she can go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

The eldest princess's cheeks bulged out with dissatisfaction, but it made the old duke even happier.

"Well, I'm sorry Your Highness, it's easy for people to do this when they're old, so please don't be surprised. After laughing for a while, the old man Toronso calmed down and bowed his head slightly to the girl and said, "In short, although I have decided to go home to retire, but not to mention the kindness of the former emperor, you and His Majesty Ley have grown up under my watch, for me, an old man with no heirs, you are my children, how can I watch you encounter danger and ignore it? Even if I am the only one left in the end, I will climb to the imperial capital!"

"It just so happens, Duke Toronso, that we have come here to prevent this from happening. Octavir was obviously a lot more relaxed after seeing this trusted elder who loved him very much, and actually had the heart to joke, "After all, if you are alone, it won't affect the overall situation at all, I still hope to bring all of your troops to Ledana to give the alliance a little color." ”

The old duke became serious at this time, he did not have the habit of blind optimism, seeing that the Octavir had come and indeed planned to personally help the troops remove the threat of the alliance Warcraft troops, he couldn't help but become more serious: "Your Highness, it is naturally good that you have this mind, but I need to be responsible for so many soldiers in the whole army, so I can't let you and your partner act indiscriminately." If you really want to lift the siege of the imperial capital, please follow my command for the time being, can you do it?"

The sweat on the foreheads of several of the entourage behind Toronso came out, and some people were quietly pulling the corners of the duke's clothes, but the old man was completely unmoved, and continued to stare at the eyes of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

The girl nodded understandingly, and agreed very cheerfully, "No problem, I am willing to follow your command." Before the troops arrived at Redana, I was an ordinary soldier under your command. ”

This girl has really grown up. Toronso nodded his head in relief, and then turned his gaze to Nangong Rong, who had no sense of presence next to him, and then couldn't help frowning.
