Chapter 1078: Gunshots on the Plains
Her Royal Highness Anna was not the most prominent of the witches in terms of size, dress, or appearance - she tied her supple hair into a ponytail to facilitate the construction, and although the overalls were the only style designed by His Majesty, they did not seem to have much thought in mind about beauty and comfort, the cuffs and collar were tightly tucked together, and the long stay in the wilderness made her clothes dusty and looked a little dusty. If it was the first time I had seen such a scene, I am afraid that I would not be able to associate it with the Queen of the Grey Keep.
But Moriel was envious in her heart.
Because even if you don't know the identity of the other queen, you will understand that she must be an important person - all the high-ranking officials of Neverwinter are around Anna, such as Karl Van Burt, the minister of construction, and the head of the general staff, Edith Kant, etc...... The direction of the railway, the speed of progress, and the construction arrangement need to be decided in consultation with Her Royal Highness Anna. In other words, even if she wasn't a witch, she was still the focus of everyone's attention.
Although she didn't understand what they were talking about, Moriel still felt that Her Highness Anna, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, holding a map and pointing out to everyone, was really handsome.
In particular, the lake-blue eyes shine through when they concentrate on their work, like flawless gems.
In front of such a person, whether it is a recruit or a veteran, it should be involuntary to pay attention.
Moriel thought about it, but in the end she didn't bother Her Highness Anna, but drove the magic servants to avoid the crowd and unload the rails in the yard area.
"You're going to the forest again?" As soon as she lowered the track, Savi poked her head out from behind a pile of bricks.
Moriel suddenly had a bad premonition.
She ran to the brick stack and scanned it, and sure enough, she saw a familiar piece of cards.
"Yo, isn't this little Moriel," Andrea grinned.
Next to her is a witch who seems to be overwhelmed, Maggie.
"You're lazy playing cards here," Moriel yelled, "What would you think of our Maleficent Charm if someone else found out? I'm going to tell Mistress Tilly!"
"Yes...... They forced me here," Maggie said, bowing her head and pointing her index finger in both hands.
"Who's lazy?" said Savi, unconvinced, "I brought these red bricks off the train, otherwise the workers would still be unloading." How can you be lazy when you're done with things and relax?"
"It's just as important to know that work is just as important as afternoon tea, and it's an elegant way to do things with both at ease. Andrea stroked the ends of her golden hair, "Besides, with Maggie here, no one will find out about us - after all, it is not permissible for Lord Tilly to be involved, so don't worry." By the way, are you going to join us? Four people are more interesting than three. ”
"Of course not—" Moriel was about to refuse with righteous words, when she was interrupted by a rush of sirens.
"Woo———— woo————woo————"
Three cornets represent the discovery of the enemy!
She hurriedly looked northeast, but there was nothing to be seen in the endless field except for the mottled snow and weeds that had not yet completely melted.
"It's either Sylvie or Lightning who spot the enemy, and you won't be able to see a sign of the warning at that distance. Savi reminded.
"Oh no—Her Highness Anna!" Moriel suddenly remembered the Queen of the Grey Keep, who was still on the front line of the railway. She had heard more than once that Anna's abilities were of irreplaceable importance to both His Majesty Roland and Neverwinter, and that was the case, so she had to bring them back safely.
Before she could take two steps, she was grabbed by Savi.
"Her Highness Anna is naturally guarded by his side, and you can't help in the past now. The latter shook his head, "Even at the speed of the flying devils, there will be at least ten to fifteen minutes of preparation time from the time they find the enemy to the time they engage the enemy, which is enough for them to be ready to hide." Moreover, according to the principle of avoiding danger, if a combat mission is not arranged in advance, the first thing to do in the event of a sudden enemy situation should be to protect yourself first, and then move closer to the nearest First Army, Tachira Divine Punishment Witch or other combat groups. ”
"So you don't have to go anywhere, just focus on protecting me," Andrea said by now, standing on top of the brick stack with her spear, "and that's my job." ”
As Savi had said, when Moriel climbed up the brick stack, the huge construction site was empty, as if the previous hectic scene had never happened. In the trenches, the heads of the people could be faintly seen, the black muskets were erected, the train stopped, and the whole front was suddenly filled with a sense of slaughter.
"Sylvie, is that the enemy you discovered?" Andrea pulled out a listening sigil from her bosom, "How many?"
“...... No, it's a warning from the lightning," after a while, the other party's answer came from the sigil, "The enemy seems to have only four dinosaurs carrying mad demons, and the direction is on your right side, and there is no sign of a high-level devil." ”
"It's only four, it looks like it's just a chance encounter. ”
"Perhaps, but don't let your guard down. "In five minutes, you should be able to see them." ”
A moment later, the Devil arrived—four dark shadows standing out against the clear sky, and no doubt they had seen the railroad lines on the Fertile Plains. Strangely enough, however, the enemy did not attack immediately, but circled in the distance.
"What are they hesitating about?" said Savi, frowning, "It's not like the devil's style. ”
"Can you hit them?" asked Moriel.
"No, it's too far away," Andrea shrugged, "and even if you toss all the coins, none of them will stand up." Of course, it's not like there's no other way—"
Moriel automatically ignored the passage she didn't understand, "What way?"
"For example...... Change to a larger caliber gun. She smiled and gestured to the brick stack, "Can I borrow your magic minion?"
Only then did Moriel notice that there was a firearm of astonishing size, the barrel alone was more than a meter long, and she immediately understood what the other party meant—it was impossible to handle such a heavy weapon with the strength of one person alone.
"Could it be...... You also take this with you when you play cards?"
"It's all thanks to Maggie," Andrea said, "and carrying any weapon that might be used with you is just a basic requirement of a warrior." ”
Moriel was silent, and she raised her hand to summon a magical minion, grabbing the giant firearm and placing it above her head, causing Momota to lower herself and spread out into an oval-shaped cushion.
"It's a shame I didn't bring you with me last time," Andrea leaned up and tried her hand, "This gun mount is much more comfortable than ashes." The head is going up a little bit, yes, that's the angle. ”
"And now?" Moriel adjusted the shape of her minions.
"Just right. By the way, can you shrink its arms, as small as finger thickness. ”
"That's fine...... However, it will not be able to grasp heavy objects. ”
"It's okay, just keep it that way. Andrea tucked the minion's arm into her ear, then grasped the handle of the gun, "Don't forget to plug your ears too!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled the trigger.
A loud bang exploded from the muzzle!
After a few breaths, a demon turned into a mist of blood in the air.
