Section E: Chapter 33: The Control Room (Children of Ice)

Disturbed by the sound of the winch, Captain Odyssey ran wildly, and finally reached the stairs after squeezing through the crowd, and rushed down in three steps and two steps. The soldiers who greeted him surrounded the control room, which made Odys feel an ominous premonition: Could it be that he really heard it right, and there was really a mole?

"Lord Odyss!" As soon as he rushed down the stairs, his attendant greeted him with a frightened face, "Why did you come down here? I was just going to report to you—"

"I don't have time to deal with you!Get out!" Pushing the squire away, Odysse selectively ignored his overwhelmed look of horror and rushed straight into the crowd with a full of anger.

"What's going on here?!You noticed the winch was turned?!" Odysse squeezed through the crowd and hurried to the control room. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: there were two or three people banging on the door, and around them sat several soldiers who were gasping for breath - it was clear that they had just tried the same thing. The door was clearly locked from the inside, and someone might be leaning against it to prevent it from being knocked open.

"Legionnaire Commander...... A soldier and a girl went in. A soldier with a tired face sitting next to him replied in a low voice: "After hearing their warning, we all rushed in." But the door suddenly closed, and I couldn't open it no matter how I hit it. ”

"You get out of the way. Gritting his teeth, Odys pushed the soldier away. I tried my best to hit it several times, but the door panel did not move at all, and there was no intention of collapsing. Unwillingly, he punched the door of the house, and he suppressed his annoyance and listened carefully to the movement in the house: strangely, he couldn't even hear the sound of the winch turning.

"Do you see the enemy?" asked the Legion Commander anxiously, frowning. Having received a negative answer, he quickly considered the current situation: the two men who had entered were probably engaged in a struggle with the enemy, and had no time to stop the winch. At worst, it could even be dead. You have to open the door as quickly as possible and get in for support. Thinking of this, Odysse immediately ordered several soldiers to come to the axe and hammer and force the door open.

There seemed to be a chill in the crack of the door, could it be that it was frozen by the enemy? Inadvertently probing the hinge structure of the wooden door with his hand, the stunned Odys immediately remembered the situation when Edus was trapped in the room before: So, the enemy in the control room may not be a mole but a black ice mage? If so, then the two who went first would definitely die.

Feeling that the form was getting more serious, the Legion Commander glanced anxiously at the iron gate that had been slowly rising: no, no matter how fast they moved, they would not have time to enter the control room before the gate opened. However, the forces on the walls could not be delayed, so they had to lead these surrounding soldiers to hold the main gate to delay as much time as possible - the enemy's strength was too strong to withstand the onslaught for long.

I had just heard the horn signaling an attack on the back door, but it should not be a big problem that there were troops to guard it in advance...... Clenching the hilt of his sword, Odys nervously looked at the spearmen who were waiting in battle, and quickly planned the most effective defensive formation in his mind.

Dashing forward with his shield in hand, Bernie tried to speed off the enemy to turn the winch around. However, the clone was shrewd, and kept walking briskly around the winch to keep its distance from the guards. After a few laps, Bernie's movements became sluggish and he no longer had the stamina to keep sprinting. Gulping to adjust his breathing, the exchanger glared at the enemy in annoyance, but was forced back by the soul-shocking blue pupils.

Seeing that Bernie had given up on the idea of pursuing for the time being, the clone let out a provocative laugh and stood still. Gritting his teeth in anger, he gritted his teeth helplessly, and helplessly grasped the shield handle, staring at the enemy's body below the chest: What should we do now? If this guy delays time like this, we will definitely lose this battle.

Keeping an eye on the enemy's movements, Bernie looked anxiously at the frozen door. The hard ice sealed all the cracks in the door, and a white chill kept coming out - I had just poked my sword several times, but I couldn't leave a trace on the ice. Now Bernie secretly prayed that the group of soldiers outside the door would smash it as soon as possible.

"That...... Mr. Bernie?" Carefully touching Bernie, Lisa whispered in his ear, "Shall we block him at two ends?" I see that corpse has a shield and a sword, just right for me to use. ”

"No, this guy is too dangerous. Without even thinking about it, Bernie whispered back to the girl's proposal: "Just hide behind me." ”

"But I want to help? I have the blood of the Children of Ice. Unable to give up, Killissa took advantage of Bernie's desire for protection and extreme concern for the safety of the outpost to try to convince him to accept the battle plan: "It may be dangerous, but aren't you there to protect me?

"What do you mean...... That's right. Somewhat embarrassed by this, Bernie finally chose to accept the plan after weighing the pros and cons. Lowering his voice to the lowest, he whispered to Qi Lisha, "Okay, go get the sword and shield." In a moment I chase him to the left, and you intercept him to the right. Don't try to attack with a weapon, you must have a big attack flaw if you haven't practiced swords. Do you understand?"

Nodding vigorously, Qi Lisa quickly armed herself. Deliberately dodging the enemy's Youlan gaze, Bernie lowered his body slightly, and rushed towards the enemy from the left side.

As planned, the clone circled to the right. However, his speed was so fast that he dodged Qi Lisa's interception and slashed his neck with the blood-stained dagger. Just when Bernie was terrified and thought that the girl was about to suffer, she actually dodged by a fall, only to be cut through her scarf by a sharp blade.

Fortunately, it was okay! The hanging heart finally relaxed, and Bernie immediately picked up his pace and rushed towards the enemy at maximum speed. Seeing that the situation was not right, the clone turned and wanted to leave. But as soon as he took a step away, he fell to the ground with the sound of metal thudging: Qi Lisa threw out the shield in her hand and struck her enemy in the knee.

"Well done!" said Gilissa, and Bernie burst forward with delight, stabbing down on his foes. But the clone rolled on the spot, dodging the attack with great dexterity. Reflecting the sentinels' movements during training, Bernie immediately slammed his shield into the clones trying to get up, and then stabbed down with all his might.

The blade pierced through his chest, and for the first time he felt the touch of the sword being squeezed by his organs, Bernie pulled it out in a slight panic, and watched the black blood gushing out of it quickly retreat. With the convulsions of the body, the mad blue pupils gradually dimmed, and finally closed after a while.
