What the hell is going on?

Lightning only felt the world spin, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she was surrounded by long, finger-thick black needles—non-reflective hedrons that were evenly distributed around the track like pitch-black blades.

Several more of the same explosions were heard from the direction of the camp, shattering the silence of the night.

This is...... Raid!

The enemy is using the Spider Demon to launch a sneak attack on the expeditionary force!

By the time she realized this, a second roar had already appeared, but this time it was noticeably much more muffled, and it didn't come from the air, but through the tremors of the ground to her feet, as if something heavy had been smashed into the earth.

"Oh no, ......no," Luo Jia snorted, "that's where the fortress artillery position is." ”

Is it really something the devil can do in the middle of the night when there are no lights to pinpoint the location of the camp and fire at the artillery in the first place?

And why hasn't the alarm been sounded yet?

"We've got to warn everyone!" Lightning didn't put on a special flight suit, and the sigil used to communicate with him naturally didn't carry it with him, so there was no other way to do it than to fly over it—although the explosion over the camp was noticeably more dense at the moment. She grabbed Loga, but couldn't pull her up from the ground.

"You ......" Lightning turned around, only to find that the latter had been driven into the leg with a long needle, and the wound was trickling blood, which had stained half of his pants red.

She felt her chest clench.

If Loga wasn't here to save her......

"What do you think," said Lorgar, "even if I hadn't met you, I would have been attacked as usual, and maybe it would have been worse—at least the stone needles that fell on the periphery were not stained with the blood of the devil, and it was only a skin wound." ”

What kind of skin trauma, obviously the bones have been broken, and the amount of bleeding does not know whether it has hurt the large blood vessels, if there is, even the long needle can not be easily pulled out. But put her here to find Nanava, in case the spider demon attacks again, Loga is almost a living target lying on the ground!

Lightning felt countless thoughts welling up in his head, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Listen to me," Loga pressed her shoulder, "you've got to get in touch with the big guy running on the railroad......

"You mean the Black River?" Lightning was slightly stunned, "but ......"

"Even if there is no alarm now, as long as you are not deaf, you should be able to hear the attack," the wolf girl gasped twice, and forced herself to endure the pain, "The key is the next counterattack - if I heard me correctly, at least half of the enemy's attacks are directed at the fortress cannons, and it doesn't sound like a simple stone needle projection." I don't know what's going on there right now, but what if...... If the enemy succeeds, we will have no weapons to suppress them. You know what that means. ”

This means that the spider demon can rain black needles into the camp with impunity, and there will be no safe place for the entire defense line.

Lightning nodded.

"Whew...... Then go quickly......" Luo Jia pushed her, "don't look at this as the first place to be attacked, it's actually not dangerous...... That blow wasn't directed at us. Look there......"

Lightning looked in the direction of the other man's finger, and saw that the wooden watchtower at the end of the track was only half left, as if it had been swallowed up in darkness.

"So leave me alone, go find the Black River—" the wolf girl gritted her teeth and said loudly, "only you can do it now!"

She was right, she wanted to inform the armored train cruising between the front line and Station Zero, there was no faster way than to fly over.

Lightning clenched his fists, took one last look at her, forced himself to turn around, rose from the ground, and flew towards the camp.

By this time, there had been scattered gunshots.

As Loga said, the whole camp had been awakened, and although it was not known where the enemy was coming from, no one would sit idly by.

The same is true of the witch's barracks.

The Witches of Divine Punishment themselves are the fastest reflexing group of warriors, not only do they not sleep for a long time, but they don't even have to take off their armor when they fall asleep, and they are rushing to the battlefield in twos and threes at the moment. She rushed into the house, just in time to see Maisie in a hurry.

"Where have you been!" the latter saw that it was her, and rushed up and hugged her, "Why don't you go out and tell me a goo!"

"I'm sorry," Lightning suddenly felt a sense of guilt, she had thought that Maisie was too thick to know what it meant to be afraid, but this was not the case - Maisie would not take the fear of the higher devils to heart for too long, but that did not mean that she would also forget about her companions. "After that, I have to go to the Black River now!"

"I'll go with you!"

"No, you are needed here. Although he wanted to agree, Lightning finally refused, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sylvie to take care of the entire camp alone, the more people who can detect the devil's movements, the better!"

Cheer up! She can't hold everyone back any longer.

"Also, before that, I need you to do something. Lightning put on his flight suit as fast as he could, then brushed away Maisie's long hair and cupped her cheek, "You must promise me that I must do it—this is the most important entrustment of the expedition." ”

"Goh?" Maisie blinked.

"Find Nanawa and take her to the end of the railway. Loga was seriously injured and lay in that area. Bring her back safely, understand?"

Maisie nodded her head vigorously, "Goo!"

"Then I'll leave it to you. Lightning touched her lightly on the forehead, then turned around and flew straight out of the house.

As the altitude climbed, she also noticed why the alarm wasn't sounded.

There was not a single one of the five watchtowers set up in the outer ring of the defensive line - it was clear that the first wave of enemy attacks was directed at the guard posts. Originally, these garrisons were supposed to be strong concrete bunkers, but Tower No. 1 had just been put into construction, not to mention complete fortifications, and even the barbed wire fence on the outside of the trench had not had time to be hung.

What made Lightning even more disturbing was that the gunshots that rang out came from inside the camp, which meant that the soldiers were engaged with the enemy in the camp. But so far, there is no sign of the entire line of defense being breached - although the enemy's attacks continue, but they are all long-range strikes, who are they fighting with?

But the more she did, the more she realized the importance of her responsibility.

I'm a coward, yes.

I lost to the high-ranking devils, and yes.

But I still have what I can do—

That's flying!

If you're afraid, let it be afraid.

I don't look north.

Even ordinary devils don't need to face it personally.

Now all you have to do is keep your head down at the railroad and fly, there is no reason to escape!

Lightning accelerated along the "Black River" all the way to the forest.

Hurry up, hurry up!

She kept urging the magic in her heart, and gradually, a long-lost feeling came to her heart—when the long-dormant level was breached, the whole world fell silent.

She finally entered the awakened silent realm again!8)
