CH.68 The Ancient Kingdom (3)
"Why didn't the door close when the energy output was broken?"
A slash swept down several giant mosquitoes, Xia gasped slightly, but she couldn't stop, otherwise the giant mosquitoes around her would immediately swarm up.
"It should be that the door has its own protective function to prevent it from falling down and hurting people in the middle of the opening."
Stephanie replied as she flew along.
"How do you close the door in this situation? You won't be able to last long if you go on like this. ”
Seeing the swarm of mosquitoes surging in front of her, Xia's eyes flashed with blue light, and the giant mosquitoes around her collided again, and she took the opportunity to wield a long knife to harvest the lives of these mosquitoes.
"Master, have you forgotten that metal door? Even if it's broken, it's a great tool to block the door. ”
Stephanie came up with an ingenious idea.
"yes, why didn't I think of that?"
Xia's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly retreated back and returned to everyone.
"Listen to me! Now retreat to the passage while fighting, and find a way to close the metal door! That door can keep these mosquitoes at bay! ”
This time she didn't use psychic induction, but shouted out loud.
One is that her mental power is now consumed, and Xia finds that some people who are hostile to her can't hear her transmission, such as Mother Alyssa and Evelyn.
At this time, the two of them were fleeing in a hurry after Raven, Alyssa is a clergyman, and she knows some sacred spells, but she is not a specialized combat profession after all, she just puts a yellow circle of light on her body, and the slightly more ferocious of those giant mosquitoes may penetrate her defenses.
This small team is all brought by Evelyn, and there is a stupid Normanta among them, there is no mage in it, only Raven is vindictive; And these people were not wearing school uniforms, and the thin, flashy armor was pierced by the sharp mouthparts of mosquitoes, and many of them were not lightly injured.
"Ah———!!h
Evelyn screamed, her ass bitten by a fierce black mosquito.
"Your Highness the Princess!"
Raven, who was opening the way in front, hurriedly turned around and came back to answer, driving away the giant mosquitoes around her.
"It hurts, my back hurts so much!"
Evelyn fell to the ground crying.
Even if she has a double profession of LV70 or more, she is just a pampered little girl, where has she suffered such a crime.
"A few of you, come and pick up the princess, I'll cover for you!"
Raven kept wielding her sword, shouting at the guards whose faces were swollen.
A woman immediately came out of the guards and picked up Evelyn, who was crying and shouting, and a group of wolves fled in the direction of the metal door that Natsu said.
"Zero, use your power to levitate El in the air and come with me!"
Natsu came to Zero and Al, who had been staying in the tent, and shouted loudly.
"Know...... Finish! ”
Sensing that an enemy was coming, Zero launched a mental defense early, so neither of them has been bitten at the moment.
A white light shone around her and Al as they hovered in the air and rushed behind Natsu.
"Zero's ability is amazing!"
Originally, Xia had been fighting for so long, but after Zero joined, the battle situation immediately changed, and I saw that those giant mosquitoes were squeezed aside before they could get close, and they were like surfboards in the tide, pushing away the mosquito swarm in front of the three of them, and they were all the way to the dust in the black sea, and soon came to the open space in front of the metal door.
"Quick, hurry up and get in!"
The speed of the three of them was very fast, although they came late, but because they did not get into the battle, they arrived earlier than most people, and Xia Rang Zero hid with El in it, and she herself stood in front of the wide open space with a long black knife.
Only in an open area can her strength be fully displayed.
"Stephanie, how many more?"
As time passed, the giant mosquitoes in front of her kept falling, and Xia's body was sweating profusely, and now her body was not comparable to before, and it was not easy to hold on for so long.
"There are less than ten people! Agnes was escorting the two wounded back to the west, a few to the southeast, and the others had already entered. Stephanie replied quickly.
"Miss Xia, please go in and take a rest, I'll stop them."
Ruiwen stood beside Xia, and a crimson fighting aura erupted from her body.
Different from the light red she had seen in the dormitory before, now her fighting aura was more dark and thick, constantly exuding shock to the surroundings, and it seemed that her power had been increased to the limit.
"No, we're all together!" Xia didn't move under his feet, wiped the sweat from his face and said.
Although the first meeting with Raven was not pleasant, Xia still had a good impression of this attackable female knight, and she was described in the manual as a righteous and awe-inspiring knight of the kingdom, without a trace of evil qualities, but sometimes her personality would seem very stubborn, which is also what makes people hate and love.
"Miss Xia, your status is noble, and you are not suitable for such a dangerous thing, please go in! I'll do it here. ”
Ruiwen slashed away several giant mosquitoes with a sword, and said anxiously.
"Everyone is equal before life, everyone's life is precious, how can anyone say that who is more noble than whom?"
Natsu was unimpressed by her words.
It seems that this heroine has been brainwashed by the knight's creed of loyalty, and her mind is full of the discipline of identity and status.
"Every human life...... Are all precious? ”
It was the first time that Raven had heard this kind of remark from the mouths of the nobles of the kingdom, and she couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart.
"Shut the door, you guys! What are you waiting for? Her Royal Highness the Princess has come in! ”
Mother Alyssa fell to the ground with a gray face, gasping for breath, and turned around and yelled at the doorman, she had never been so tired of running the road, and felt that her lungs were almost about to explode.
"Wait a little longer! Captain, they haven't come in yet. ”
At the door was a male mage from the Xia team, who immediately said when he heard this.
"Mother Alyssa, are you kidding? Those people outside are desperately trying to cover us in the rear so that we can run in safely, and you actually want to lock them out! ”
A magician recognized her, and said angrily.
"I'm looking out for the princess's safety!"
Alyssa said with an imposing voice, and then bent down and said to Evelyn:
"Your Royal Highness, please order the door to be closed, there are too many of those terrible mosquitoes! A little while more will be dangerous. ”
"This ......"
Evelyn hesitated.
She just subconsciously had some sense of competition against Xia, so she was against Xia everywhere, but she didn't think of asking for the other party's life at all.
Of course, as for the others, including Raven, they are not in the scope of the little princess's concerns.
"Your Royal Highness, those bugs may be highly poisonous, do you feel that the bite is not only painful, but also a little itchy?" Mother Alyssa scratched her thigh as she spoke, and she was also bitten several times.
Seeing Evelyn touching her buttocks, her face changed a little, and she added another fire: "We should treat it now, otherwise it may be life-threatening!" She was alarmist, and then showed a terrible expression:
"Maybe not only will you die, but your whole body will turn black after death, and if you let those mosquitoes attack, it's like being attacked by a vampire, and the blood all over your body will be sucked dry, and you will become a thin corpse......
"Wow!"
Hearing her words, Evelyn finally broke down and cried loudly, "Turn it off, turn it off!" Close the door! ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!"
Her guards were the king's personal guards assigned to her, and they were all loyal dead soldiers who had made oaths, even though they had great respect for Natsu, but in their eyes this silver-haired young lady was not as important as the life of her master.
"Push hard!"
The guards were all warriors and knights, and the metal door had only been blasted open by Agnes, and the sturdy hinges were still connected to the door frame, so several strong men quickly pushed the door together, and the metal and the rocks on the ground made a screeching sound.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Albert rushed to the other side and slammed the door on his shoulder!
Not only him, but also the emaciated mage of Sadonan, rushed over, also behind the door.
Shizuki, Dora...... The entire team of active people came over and desperately resisted the gate to prevent the guards from closing it.
"You are all nobles of the kingdom, and you have openly disobeyed the orders of the princess, do you want to rebel?"
Seeing everyone's actions, Mother Elisa's voice trembled a little.
"Xia's identity, have you really forgotten jì? Eliza. ”
It was Natia Vida who had been using magic to heal the wounded, and just now she noticed the farce here, and came over and said to Mother Alyssa with a sneer:
"Even if it is the princess's order, don't you know the consequences of doing so?"
"You are, the ...... of the Guards"
Alyssa recognized the girl who had been in Natsu's dormitory.
"Ahh
One of the guards, who was struggling behind the door, suddenly flew up from the ground, then crossed a parabola, slammed into the wall, and passed out.
Then another one, then a third, then a fourth...... In just a few seconds, those who were fighting to the death against Abner and the others were all thrown away, and most of them hit their heads and broke their blood.
"Zero, don't kill!"
Al struggled to lift himself up on the mat and shouted at Zero, whose long hair was fluttering.
"They...... Don't let my sister ...... In! It's all ...... Villain. ”
Zero floats in the air, looking at Evelyn and Mother Elisa.
"Wait, wait! Ahh
Mother Alyssa was lifted up by an invisible force and slammed into the top of the metal door!
"Whoa, whoa, what are you going to do?"
Evelyn was also lifted up from head to foot, perhaps Al's words worked, she was treated better than everyone else, hit her ass against the rock wall, and then lay face down on the ground.
"Al, let that friend of your watch them and don't let these people do anything more; If anyone else can still fight, come out with me to pick up the captain and the rest of the team! ”
Natya Vida shouted to the people in the passage.
"I'll go!"
There was a moment of silence in the hallway, and the magician, who had first opposed Mother Elisa, was the first to stand up.
"And me!"
"Me!"
"I can still fight, and I'm going too!"
These people were all students who had been rescued by Xia, and some of them were injured and tried to struggle to stand up, but they were stopped by Natyavida.
"It's just to pick it up, you don't need so many people, otherwise the entrance is so narrow, and it will be even more difficult to retreat for a while."
She said, shaking her head.
Then he turned around with his staff and came to the side of the Abners:
"Can you hold on?"
"Small!"
Albert slapped his chest on the mountain:
"Joke, Lao Tzu just fought with a dragon not long ago, what are these little mosquitoes!"
"No problem!"
Sadonan straightened up as well.
It's just that his words behind him are not so loud:
“…… Who lent me a staff? Return it as soon as you get back! ”
"We've just run out of magic bullets."
Shizuki and Dora glanced at each other and lowered their heads sadly, guns were not effective against small enemies, but bullets were very fast.
When a gunsmith runs out of ammunition, it's almost like losing his credentials; The two were only first-year freshmen, with limited experience in handling, and Normenta and Al were not familiar with their guns, and their ammunition was not the same as each other.
"And then." A wounded mage threw his staff at Sadonan:
"Even without a staff, you fought heroically just now." He said, "I'm going to change my mind about Arcane Mages starting today, Sadonan-senpai. ”
Sadonan is actually one level higher than Daro, and now he is in the third grade like Xia and the others, and the mage is a second-year student, so it is not wrong to call him a senior.
"Thank you."
Sadoran took the staff, his eyes moistened.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Albert took the somewhat crooked broadsword, took a table in the hall as a large shield, and rushed forward, and was the first to kill.
Then more than a dozen people followed him, and Natyavida looked coldly at Evelyn, who was sitting there crying and getting up from the ground with a bloody face, and also walked out.
"Earthquake?"
Outside, Xia and Ruiwen were struggling to help those who rushed over, and suddenly their feet shook.
"No, it's outside!"
Raven saw a bulge in the door of the huge door.
"Boom ——!!"
There was another violent tremor, and another bulge rose in another place above the door, as if something huge was trying to come in from the outside.
“BOSS?”
Xia's heart was cold:
These black mosquitoes are already so difficult to deal with, and it would be really fatal to have another big guy who looks so fierce.
"Stephanie, what's that thing knocking on the door outside?"
She shouted in her head.
"I can't see the body, I can't get the information!" Stephanie replied with an ugly face.
At this moment, a sour sound came from under the door, and more than a dozen monsters that were much larger than ordinary black mosquitoes squeezed in through the cracks, and the black shells on their bodies were scratched, and they didn't care, they just squeezed in desperately.
"These are...... An elite monster with a comprehensive strength of LV95 or more! Master, we'd better hurry up and hide! ”
Stephanie's exclamation came through Natsu's head.
