Just then, the lich did something that surprised everyone.

It flew from the rear to the top of the Lieutenant Commander's head, then stretched out a black misty arm and stabbed the back of the opponent's heart with ferocity.

A large amount of blood spurted from the waisted soldier's chest, and the metallic hand bones peeked through the heart, and the blood gradually closed into the hand bones strangely, and it seemed that the lich was absorbing his blood.

Newman didn't expect that someone would plot against him in this situation, he squirmed his lips and turned his head, staring at the pair of glimmering eyes in the black air, and his face quickly turned gray.

"Fei Nanxi, what are you doing?"

Xia was taken aback: "How can you kill people in a good manner!" ”

"Huh, man? I don't think so. ”

The body on the lich's hand twisted in an indescribable shape, and finally turned into an unsightly mass of material, completely unrecognizable as a living human.

Countless tiny particles of blood surrounded the lich's hands, sucked into its metal bones, but the state of the bones did not change in the slightest.

"Absorb the blood of living beings, I haven't done this kind of thing in a long time."

Fei Nanxi flipped his hand twice, looked at it and said:

"Although I used this vicious and powerful spell, I got some forged substance, and in fact I didn't absorb anything at all."

"You mean to ...... Is this a fantasy? ”

Natsu suddenly realized what he meant.

"Illusion? The same can be said. ”

The lich put his hand down:

"But it's not exactly the same, the situation in this space is somewhat similar to the memory fragment of the demigod knight, but the power of that square crystal is many times stronger than the memory fragment, and this is already an independent small world."

"The people inside! Why don't you talk back? ”

The young voice outside became stern:

"Something is wrong, second and third teams — go in and see what's going on."

"You liar, you're not kind at all!"

Dolinda shrank behind Camille in fear. Say to the lich:

"Such a cruel spell can only be done by those who are extremely vicious!"

The lich just shrugged his shoulders and didn't care at all about the little princess of the empire.

"-Prepare for battle!"

Natsu raised his sword and shouted to everyone.

"No, no, no, my partner. Don't do it. ”

The lich waved his hand:

"You'd better stand still as you did just now, don't show hostility to each other, and act as if nothing happened."

"Nothing happened......"

Xia looked at the distorted substance on the ground, his chest seemed to be blocked by something invisible, and his heart was indescribably awkward.

It's not that she hasn't killed people, and she's faced with flesh-and-blood, inhuman-shaped corpses; But seeing this cruel spell with your own eyes will still make you feel repulsed.

"Who are you?"

The gap widened rapidly, and two groups of heavily armed soldiers burst in from the outside, and a leader-looking man shouted at them.

"Huh? This is ......"

But he saw Dolinda right away. The expression instantly became exciting.

"What happened just now was an accident."

Dolinda had already stepped out of Camille's back at this time, and said with a solemn expression:

"I'm sorry about Major Newman's affair......"

"Major Newman? Who's that. ”

The leader of the soldiers said in surprise:

"May I ask if you are a relative of Her Royal Highness Princess Bellerell? I beg your pardon for being so unheard of that His Highness having a sister. ”

Dolinda's prepared lines were choked back, and she stood there coughing loudly.

"The 'existence' of that person just now has been erased."

Seeing this scene, Xia finally understood what the lich had just done:

“…… But how exactly is this done? ”

"It's a lot of energy, and I'm just doing some experiments."

The lich's voice came from his head: "Find a way to keep going with each other." The power contained in the crystal is too strong for me to completely crack it with my strength. I had to find a way to get through it. ”

"Do you mean that as soon as the time comes, we will be able to break away from this memory crystal?" Xia also transmitted the sound.

As the two spoke, the smoke and dust at the entrance of the cave gradually dissipated, revealing a thin figure inside.

"Salute!"

Except for the two leaders, the soldiers all stood up and saluted, neatly lined up on both sides. Standing in place without squinting to greet the arrival of the chief.

"Theoretically, yes, but maybe I need some kind of opportunity, after all, it's the first time I've seen this strange world of memory." The lich's voice sounded reassuring:

"I'm so grateful to you for summoning me here, such an extraordinary experience is hard to come across even in the abyss."

"Crystallization is just a medium, and it should be the rotten brain that really works."

It hides its body in inconspicuous corners:

"I'll try to keep it that way. If you are in danger, we will come to your rescue immediately, but you should be careful yourself...... This is no ordinary illusion, and you will die if you encounter a deadly attack. ”

"Got it."

Natsu saw a fair-skinned and tall young man appear at the entrance of the cave.

The young man had a pair of narrow eyes, which would be charming if placed on a woman, but it would be somewhat embarrassing if a man had such eyes.

Aside from the eyes, his slightly pale skin and solid physique made it clear that this man was not easy to mess with, and although his stature was slightly thin, his hands and legs looked powerful when he moved, and the greatsword behind his back was even more intimidating.

The young man walked between the two rows of soldiers and stopped, his sharp gaze swept over the crowd one by one, and finally rested on the face of the silver-haired girl.

"This man is so rude."

Xia has long been accustomed to the attention of others, but it is still a little uncomfortable to be stared at like this.

Fortunately, the other party just looked at it for a while and then looked away, and after seeing Dolinda's appearance, all his attention was focused on her.

Perhaps because of Dolinda's resemblance to the princess "Bellerel", the young man's voice was slightly softer. But there is still a hint of skepticism:

"I just received a report that someone here has found Her Royal Highness the missing Princess...... But I don't seem to see myself here, can you tell me what the reason is? ”

"I'm sorry, we lied because we wanted to be rescued."

Natsu walked up to Dolinda and quietly pinched her. Motioning for her to follow her.

Dolinda felt a little strange after being pinched by her, and looked up at the silver-haired sister, but she was a very smart girl, and immediately understood what the other party meant, so she closed her mouth.

"Lying to be rescued...... If you are in the imperial capital, such behavior may lead you to jail. ”

The young man suddenly understood, lifted his chin and said:

"But this is the New World, and we don't have the bad temper of those nobles, so we won't do anything to you."

"Provided with. You must explain where you came from! ”

His voice became serious:

"This place has been designated as a military exclusion zone to protect the immigrants, how did you get to this place through three tight lines?"

"And you! Show your face. ”

His gaze turned to the lich:

"There are a lot of sneaky dark mages in the New World who do dirty things from time to time, and I hope you won't be one of them."

"It's my summon."

Xia took two steps forward, and a golden rune appeared in his hand.

The lich knew what she was thinking, and immediately dispersed the black aura above her head, revealing a hideous metal skull. A golden rune also lit up on his forehead.

"Oh? It's actually a metal-based revenant. ”

The young man looked at her with some surprise:

"I'm surprised that a beauty like you would be a necromancer."

"You bad guy. Don't stare at the master with squinting eyes, and kill you! ”

Erin's voice rang out suddenly.

"What's going on?"

Xia finally sensed that something was wrong:

"Wasn't the previous voice an auditory hallucination that I had after I fell unconscious? Erin followed me into this space, too? ”

She looked around, but she didn't see little Lori.

"Erin, Erin?"

She tried to call out in her head, but there was no response for a long time.

"Oh, it's quite arrogant."

The young man thought she was pretending to be cold. didn't care, walked up to Dolinda, bowed slightly, and said:

"With all due respect, may I ask what your name is?"

"You talk to him like this......" Natsu, who was full of doubts, sent a message to Dolinda, teaching her how to talk to the other party.

"My name is Dolinda."

Hear her instructions. Dolinda, who had a bottom in her heart, puffed up her chest very imposingly, stretched out a hand and pointed at the soldier next to her:

"I was sent to this place because of something, and you are not qualified to know about it, hurry up and send a team of soldiers to help me! All of my people are dead, and now Camille is the only one left around. ”

Dolinda and Camille's names are household names in Harlem, one is a royal princess, the other is the first female swordmaster of the empire, Xia taught her this to confirm the other party's reaction.

"If you're just a nobleman, I'll arrest you right now."

The young man squinted his eyes and said:

"But you do seem to have some connection to the royal family...... So I decided to give you one more chance. ”

"--This is a military exclusion zone!"

He said viciously:

"Even if His Highness Bellerel comes down, he can only stay and watch, and he can't point fingers at us! Now that the Armageddon is about to take place, as the military commander in charge of this war zone, I can't let go of any suspicious factors! Prove your identity to me here now, or I'll send you straight to Tarragona!" ”

"You bastard!"

Camille couldn't hold back any longer, pulled out the long sword at his waist and launched a slash directly.

"Hmph, have you finally shown your true colors?"

Young people get it.

He took off the greatsword behind his back with an invisible speed, slashed the longsword in Camille's hand with a single blow, and raised his wrist to place the blade around her neck.

"Dangchang!"

The blade flew out and slammed into the rock wall, making a screeching sound.

"I don't know where you're from, but you're studying Imperial orthodox swordsmanship. That's why you shot at me and kept your life alive. ”

He looked at Camille, who looked dumbfounded, and said:

"But there won't be a next time...... Answer my question just now, or I wouldn't mind killing you outright. ”

"Let her go!"

Dolinda shouted, flying down on the blade of the greatsword.

The moment the blade made contact with her, a golden glow erupted from her body, shaking the greatsword to the side.

"Amulet?"

The young man took a step back, his face changing. looked at her in disbelief.

He didn't know much about this kind of talisman artifact, and only direct members of the Harlem royal family could wear it, and the number was very rare.

Even if you don't know the origin of the other party, you can already be sure of one thing - even if the other party is not the real princess, she must have a very important identity, otherwise there will never be a magic talisman on her body.

"You dare to put a sword on the neck of my personal guard, you are really daring!"

Dolinda's princess burst out in full force, pointing at his nose and shouting:

"Come on, arrest this officer who wants to rebel against me!"

She said this to the soldiers.

The soldiers standing on either side looked at each other. No one moved.

Of course, they understood the meaning of the Dharma God Talisman, but this was not the real Princess Bellerel after all, and they still had a lot of respect for this chief, so no one really started to arrest anyone.

"You ――――――――"

Dolinda stamped her feet and shouted:

"I'm going to tell my father and ask him to put you guys ...... woo-woo-uh-huh" She was halfway through her words when Xia reached out and covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, sir."

She took Dolinda into her arms and apologized to the young man:

"We did have important things to do before we came to the New World. However, it is not possible to tell anyone else why...... Can you understand my struggle? ”

She stroked Evelyn's blonde hair and said softly:

"You saw it too. We're few in number, and we're pretty limited in strength—"

She gave Camille a stern look at Camille, who was full of unconvinced face, and stopped her little movements: "I hope you can be properly accommodating and let us out of here; Of course, we don't need any guards, we just go by ourselves. ”

"It's impossible to let you go."

The young man took a deep breath. Answered:

"But you can enter the barracks temporarily, and I promise you will receive the best possible treatment until you receive an official order from above."

"I'm sorry, but your name is Camille?"

He held out his hand to Camille, who was still sitting on the ground:

"I thought you were an enemy just now, and I used a little more force. Hope it doesn't hurt you. ”

"Smack!"

Camille opened his hand hatefully:

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands! Stinky man. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and took off his military hat.

A long red hair fell from the top of her head, and the original cold officer suddenly turned into a pretty beauty.

The bridge of her nose is slightly higher, and her cheekbones are also a little prominent, but this adds a bit of heroic charm, with her tall body and thin limbs, Xia who has seen a lot of weak beauties only feels that her eyes are bright.

"My name is Tracy."

The young female officer said:

"Tracy Orma, part of the Second Navy of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, holds the rank of colonel."

"I misunderstood you before, and even if you accept the punishment, you will not complain; But I will still faithfully perform my duty, and I ask you to enter the barracks with me, and I will not let you go until I have received clear instructions. ”

"It's understandable where the responsibilities are."

Natsu once again stopped Camille and Dolinda, who wanted to run away, and smiled brightly at her:

"If you're not too busy right now, I'd like to know something from you...... Do you see that it is convenient? ”

The female colonel was slightly stunned, then nodded and agreed to her request:

"Okay, I have something I want to ask you too, maybe we can exchange some things that the other person wants to know."

"Follow me."

She gave a strict order to the soldiers, telling them to watch the other six, and led Xia out of the cave.

"What do you want to ask?"

She came to a place where no one was around, looked at Xia and said:

"I can't tell you what is related to military secrets, and I will decide whether to answer other questions according to the situation."

"First Question ......"

Natsu slowly approached her.

Then he raised his hand very abruptly and pinched it on her arm.

"You seem to have a lot of strength, but you're in good shape, how the hell do you do that?"

She kneaded the pliable muscles there and asked in an ambiguous tone:

"Since we both have secrets, in order to dispel each other's doubts, we might as well start with the question of women, which may make us closer."

Initially, Tracy's body was a little stiff and she didn't seem used to being touched.

However, seeing that the other party didn't make any excessive moves, his body slowly relaxed again.

"If you're going to ask me about something like that, it's hard for me to stay with you."

She puffed out her face and said:

"I'm a soldier, I need a lot of strength and a lot of physical strength, and my body and appearance are just inconsequential factors in battle, and I don't think there's anything to discuss."

"Besides, I'm busy right now."

She turned and walked back: "When you get back to the barracks, you can go to the performance troupe in District 23 and have a look, there may be something you are interested in." ”

How could Xia just let her go?

I saw her footsteps move slightly, and her figure immediately blocked in front of Tracy, the whole process was extremely fast, and she acted quietly, which shocked the female major.

"It turns out that you are the most powerful person in there, I was really blinded just now."

Looking at the quaint long sword she was carrying behind her, Tracy showed a hint of war intent in her eyes:

"I'm not interested in those effeminate noble ladies...... But if you're willing to go with me, maybe I'll talk to you more about what you want to know. (To be continued.) )
