Section B, Chapter 40: Breaking the Door (Lucina)

"The formation of the stormtroop is ready. Odyssey looked nervously at the soldiers who were standing in the detachment, ready to attack the ladder.

"Alright, we're off to go. Lucina, in the form of a ghost warhorse, carried her sister and flapped her wings: "Once you see that the gate has been breached, you can start blowing the horn of attack to attack the ladder." When the time comes, we will find a way to harass the enemy army. ”

"Please. Odysse bowed slightly, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his words.

Feeling that the eyes of the soldiers were focused on herself and her sister, Lucina only felt her blood boiling. However, the tightening of the reins reminded her that her sister, who suffered from a phobia of the eyes, was a little timid.

"Let's go?" Lucina whispered with a slight flapping of her wings, "You may be flying fast later, remember to hold on to the reins." ”

Rusha, who was on her back, lowered her body slightly and pinched the horse's belly in response.

Kicking the ground with her horse's hooves, Lucina flapped her wings and flew high.

Rising to the top until the landscape below was covered in snow and mist, Lucina swooped down in the direction of Snow Castle.

The polar winds that swept through the snow blew violently and at high speed, and Lucina constantly neutralized the air currents with magic to keep her wings balanced.

The silhouette of the Snow Castle and the Highlands looms into view. Gradually slowing down the dive and eventually hovering, Lucina observed the terrain below and the enemy's disposition.

It's still a bit too far away...... Lucina circled for a week, lowering herself again.

"Sister, watch out for the arrows. Lutha reminded her sister uneasily.

"We're flying so high that we're far beyond the effective range of the arrows. Lucina comforted her sister very confidently: "What's more, the wind is so strong, and there is snow and fog." ”

"But the dragon hunter ......" sister on his back tightened the reins, seemingly nervous.

Lusa was just worried too much...... "That dragon hunter's arrows are indeed accurate, but he won't-"

Before Lucina's words could land, a heavy, silvery-white javelin scurried past the wings. Hurriedly rising, Lucina only felt her heart tremble because of this sudden change.

"Good...... It's dangerous. Looking at the javelin falling rapidly in the distance due to the loss of kinetic energy, Lucina was shocked: "How can you throw the javelin so high into the sky?"

"That's not a javelin, sister. Lusha clenched the horse's belly uneasily: "I can see clearly, it's the dragon hunting arrow." ”

"Good...... All right. Calming down, Lucina focused her full attention and slowly fell.

Lusa leaned down and leaned on her sister's back, "Sister, that dragon hunter can't be the corruptor who killed Quell, right?"

"I don't think so. Lucina hesitated to convey her thoughts: "Dragon hunters with the power of dragon blood will no longer be able to learn spells, and their mana net should have been destroyed by the ritual." ”

It's best not to run into that Corruptor mage...... Based on Edge's description of Quael's death, Lucina could almost conclude that it was the same person who had unleashed permafrost in the tunnel.

Looking down and observing the terrain, and locking on to the location of the summoning Guladan, Lucina descended more and more slowly, waiting for another dragon arrow to arrive—intending to dodge it before the enemy redrew the bow and dived down in one gulp.

As she expected, after descending to the position where she had been attacked, another arrow quickly flew out of the snow mist. Despite the loud wind, the sound of the arrow tearing through the air was clear.

Leaning quickly to dodge the arrows, Lucina swooped down as hard as she could.

However, as soon as he began to dive, another arrow immediately broke through the snow mist from the same position. Surprised, Lucina used her inertia to barely move sideways to dodge the dragon arrow.

Good fast archery interval...... Nervous, Lucina shifted her flight trajectory and spiraled down after circling for a week.

Dodging the two dragon hunting arrows again, Lucina, who kept flying low, finally rushed to the expected summoning height. Just then, a rain of arrows struck, but they all fell back to the ground in the airspace far below Lucina's height due to their limited range.

The second rain of arrows struck, and Lucina hovered in place, staring at the dragon hunting arrows that would shoot at her at some point: to summon Guladan to the ground at such a high air, she had to cast a spell. Although the cast will be completed quickly, it will be necessary to concentrate during this time - this will make it difficult to dodge the attack of the Dragon Hunter Arrow.

After a second rain of arrows had no effect, the Corruptors shrewdly stopped wasting arrows. However, Lucina waited for a long time, but did not wait for the attack of the dragon hunting arrow.

"Isn't it the end of the arrow?" Lucina asked her sister in confusion.

"Probably. In the back of her mind, Lusha's voice was still a little timid.

"Then let's just start summoning. Not going to wait any longer, Lucina's adventure began to summon.

However, until the summoning guidance was completed, the dragon hunting arrow did not come again. Secretly rejoicing in her luck, Lucina unleashed the gathered energy and summoned Guladan to the city gates.

A burst of blue light shone through the snow mist. Immediately, the gigantic Guladan appeared in the light. Feeling the rapid loss of mana, Lucina hurriedly ordered the stone demon in her heart: "Smash the city gate, Guladan!

The earth-shattering roar of the stone demon loomed into Aya's ears. Through the snow mist, Lucina was excited to see Guladan stomp on the ground with all her might, and several of the Corruptors fell to the ground from the impact. Immediately, the bent stone demon smashed the gate with a heavy fist, lifting the iron gate and throwing it towards an arrow tower beside him.

The central structure of the tower was smashed by a slamming gate. As the tower fell, several of the Corruptors stationed at the top fell to the ground. Guladan shook his body and crushed another turret before trampling several nearby infantrymen to death.

Feeling that the loss of mana in her body was already severe, Lucina immediately canceled the summoning after staring at Guladan crushing a mass of enemies on the battlements.

It's really Guladan...... Lucina was so proud of her angel that she swooped down again to lower the distance to the ground.

The rapid and deafening trumpet sounded at the right time. Flying back over the staircase, overlooking the soldiers of Neverwinter City who were attacking from the stairs on both sides of the staircase, Lucina was immediately excited: "Now, Lusa-let's go to the enemy position to harass the enemy as originally planned, right?"

"Hmm. Draw down their archers like Guladan...... Maybe it works. Lusha gave her advice in her head.

"Oh, that's a rare thing - Lusha actually gave such a suggestion. Lucina replied appreciatively, "Let's go, Lusa." We'll split up later. Prepare your guns - if you can't kill too many archers, you'll be able to attract enemy fire. ”

After Lusa clamped the horse's belly in response, Lucina increased the frequency of her wings, hovered for a moment, and then rushed to an undestroyed arrow tower next to the city gate.
