Chapter Eighty-Six: The Oretari Mountains
Iori's team assists Ella and the twins in building the cave's defenses and cordons, and figurs out how to maintain communication with the rest of the team. By this time, Rosier's team had joined Pat and engaged in a battle with Roses.
"It's a bit of a misfortune that you're here!" Mette hid behind a large boulder to dodge Roses' attack, "We have been a little bit of a collision with Roseos these days, and we came to the door today!" ”
Rosier's squad quickly got into the fight, scattering to find rocks for cover and quickly assembling their batteries.
"If you want me to say, this is just the right time." Rocsille picked up her hand cannon, "I can't help you!" ”
She jumped out of the rock and fired a bullet at Roses, rolling down to another rock, just in time to pass Roses's bullet.
"Did Roses use these things too?" The orange-haired guard of the Gula family snorted disdainfully, "Don't you look down on the family?" Still using our family's technology? ”
"They don't want to see mercenaries, they use magic as well." Another black-haired man had barely poked his head out when he was forced back by a bullet hitting the rock, "Oh! It's dangerous. ”
"They probably won't want to fight us this time." Pat's calm voice rang out from Rosier's side, "But if they can do it, they'll want to try to take the lives of a few people." ”
This startled Roselle, who didn't notice that there was someone else in the direction she was rolling, but luckily it was Pat, and if it was an enemy, she would be finished.
However, it was precisely because the other party did not have a murderous aura that she did not notice it.
"They think it's beautiful." Mette snorted coldly, "Want to take a few lives from under me?" I'm not as good at defending as Kate, but as the saying goes, the best defense is offense! ”
As soon as the words fell, Mette rushed in the direction of Rossos at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch, and this unexpected action caused a riot in Roses, and for a moment the attack on Rossier and their attacks slowed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rosier's team and four of the Gula family's guards rushed into the battlefield to contain Roses' firepower with Mette.
Naturally, Bora and Pat don't miss the time their companions have to fight. Bora muttered some incomprehensible incantation, and the air around him distorted, and a flaming bird flew out of it, its wings flashing with a few sparks at the tips of its wings, drawing a beautiful curve in the air.
Pat closed his eyes tightly and grasped his greatsword with both hands, and the blade slowly condensed into a golden light, and after it bloomed with a dazzling light, it turned into a golden barrier covering the sword.
They didn't hesitate any longer, and Pat dragged his greatsword and joined the battle with Bola's summoned beast.
In just ten minutes, Roseos withdrew completely, leaving only the shocking scorching marks on the ground, indicating the battle that had just taken place.
"Anyway, it's a good thing you're here." Mette happily hooked Rosier's neck, "If you weren't here, we'd have to stalemate for a while, and all that energy would have been wasted." ”
"That's what we're here for." Rocsille grinned and said, "If you can't help, you might as well not come." ”
"Well, let's not talk about it for now." "As you can see, we're lucky, we found Rossos in the Oretari Mountains as soon as we arrived, and we were just a little bit of a fight before, but today we have stepped up our offensive, and I think we're already getting close to their core." ”
"Lord Hua Shao ordered us to assist you in the battle." Rossielle straightened her face and gave a military salute to Met, "Rosiel's team will fully cooperate, please send it at will!" ”
Mette and Rocille discussed their next move, and Pat crossed his arms over his chest and watched them talk with a smile in his eyes. Bora sat aside, the fiery red bird that had shrunk to the size of the emerald bird he usually carried with him, standing in his hands, with its head held high and proud.
Bora touched its head with her fingers, fed it some red hedron shards, and put it back in the space where the summoned beast would normally be. Summoned beasts with elemental attributes like to carry items with their magic power of the same attributes, and the crystals used as their food have been purified, so there is no need to worry about any impact on them.
"Although I don't hate climbing mountains, it is really heartbreaking to see the people of Roses on the mountain."
The dark-haired bodyguard sat on Bora's side, grumbling with a smile on his face.
"Get rid of these annoying guys." The orange-haired man sat down on the other side of the black-haired guard, "The air is going to be polluted by these guys, it always seems to smell the stench." ”
"Wow - Logu said it was disgusting." A man with short white hair sat down on the other side of Bora, "This is the famous Oretari Mountains, and I'm going to leave a shadow because of your words?" ”
"That's your problem!" The orange-haired man named Logu glared back fiercely, "I didn't say this mountain range is bad!" Dis! ”
"And who knows—" Diese grimaced, "what do you say, Litai?" ”
The black-haired man pretended not to hear and looked at the sky and hummed a song. The last brown-haired male sat cross-legged in front of Bora, looking longingly at where the bird had disappeared.
"Ned is starting to get mad at Bora's summoned beast again." Dees snickered, "Seriously, Bora, you have to be careful, Ned might steal your summoned beast one day." ”
Bora was unmoved, and the three guards laughed at Ned in embarrassment.
Mette beckoned everyone to take a short break in place, ready to pursue Roseos in one go. Rocsille carefully disassembled the cannon and put it back in her bag little by little. Hand cannons aren't meant to be held for long-distance pursuits, and if you're going to run while fighting, she prefers a small and nimble pistol.
"Are your injuries healed?"
Pat came to her at some point, staring intently at her disassembling the cannon, as if he was quite interested in it.
"It's all right." Rocsille turned her head and gave him a smile, "I said there was no problem, but everyone in the infirmary made a fuss when they heard that I was affected by the god's fighting aura, and they all made a fuss and pulled me for a detailed examination." ”
"Did you do that?"
"Of course I did." Rocsille stuck out her tongue, "Haven't you heard of it?" Healers are always the people who can't be offended, and they are for my good, how can I not appreciate it. ”
"That's how it should be." Pat nodded, "It won't hurt your body to do a check-up. ”
"Yes."
In the process of chatting, Rossiel had completely put away the hand cannon. She pulled out the other parts from her bag and began assembling the weapon she was going to use next.
"These weapons don't take up a lot of space, and there are pockets of space, why do you have to assemble them yourself every time?"
Pat's question caused Rossiel to tilt her head in thought for a moment.
"We always have to be familiar with our weapons." "Disassembling and assembling allows us to understand our weapons and detect if they are abnormal." Many times you can't tell what's wrong with the weapon just by looking at the outside of it, but the parts inside are old and worn. ”
"That's a reasonable thing to do." Pat said approvingly, "And it will be able to keep your mental state at the right level of tension for the fight." ”
"That's right." She finished assembling herself, lifted it up and looked at things in the distance, "This is Lord Hua Shao's proposal, everyone was not used to it at first, but forced themselves to get used to it, and over time, they felt uncomfortable if they didn't disassemble and assemble it themselves." ”
"It's not that I'm boasting, there are a lot of people in the church, but there are almost no people like Hua Shao." Pat touched his chin thoughtfully, "Moreover, extremely smart people will always think too much and affect their body and lifespan, but Hua Shao doesn't look like he will have a short life. ”
"Don't say that in Morfi." Rosier glared at him, "It sounds like he's cursing Lord Hua Shao, there will always be those who find fault." Lord Hua Shao is really smart, so she won't know the combination of work and rest. Besides, there's Lord Huck watching. ”
Roselle's fried hair seemed quite interesting to Pat, who didn't think he was cursing the woman with great talent, but he was used to these topics in the church, and he didn't notice the impact it had in the eyes of others.
After all, he didn't bother to think about these sophistications between the families in front of Rosier.
Rossiel pinned the pistol to her waist and took out two daggers and strapped them to her arms. These two daggers were given to her by Reins, and in the mercenary's opinion, there will always be times when they can't rely on magic or technology, and primitive hand-to-hand combat is also essential. Rosier was quite precious to these two daggers, and would often take them to Rheins for advice.
Although about half of the time they will be chased away by their chief engineer of Murphy because they disturbed the other party's two-person world.
"Cleaned up?" Mette also asked the others at this time, "Pack up and get ready to go, but you can't let the little cubs of Roseos escape." ”
Rocil stood up, checked the security of her gear, and followed Mette's side. Pat walked to Roselle's side, seemingly casually, with his hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Mette had a stick of grass in her mouth that she didn't know where it came from, and she looked much more ruffian than Lillian. Roselle once heard Reines mention that Kate and Mette were both from knightly families, but Kate received a serious education and was therefore gentle and polite; But Mette is different, she learned the etiquette of fighting first, and then she learns etiquette, so she always feels a little informal.
"Let's go." Mette spat out the grass and grinned white, "Show these idiots in Roseos what happened to you." ”
