Amy Ulysses retreated and retreated.

Are you kidding!

No matter how much the Glorious Man's physique is beyond the mortal, he will never, absolutely not be able to withstand a salvo of the city's defense artillery.

After all, flesh and blood are flesh and blood after all, and there is still a considerable distance from steel and iron bones.

But then again......

Even if it is a pure steel creation, under this level of firepower, I am afraid that what remains will only be a piece of debris.

The latest steam pressurization system, coupled with the alchemical enchantment of the pre-ancient kings, can destroy half of the city wall if a cannonball kills a person.

Therefore, without any hesitation or hesitation, the boy who had personally experienced a round of justice from heaven in the precursor of death, after breaking free from the shadow of death, immediately turned back, pulled up his friends who had not fully reacted, and followed the guidance of his intuition, walking through the whistling cannonballs and flying dust.

After about fifteen seconds, they finally moved away from the focus of the artillery fire.

It's just that whether it is Amy or Joshua, their images are sloppy and can't be sloppy anymore: the tattered trench coat on their bodies is dyed earth yellow by mud and sand, their hair and face are so gray that they can't see even a little bit of their original color, and they look like refugees begging all the way in the desert from a distance, no matter how noble their original identities are, all that is left at the moment is embarrassment.

But the two people who lived for the rest of the catastrophe had no time to take care of it, and their face image was irrelevant compared to life.

"It's a city defense gun. Looking at the flying artillery fire and the dust in front of him, Joshua O'Neill said in an affirmative tone, "It's really thanks to your quick reaction, otherwise when we really form a covering fire net, I'm afraid we will have to be with this group of fish belly." ”

"Don't worry, I won't die. Unlike his friend's forced composure, Amy Ulysses's face that was obscured by dust and couldn't see his true face appeared on his face, and he even had the heart to make a harmless joke, "At least I won't die here, and if I need to, I'll write you an epitaph— Here lies a brave man, the forerunner of the O'Neill family, where he died with the enemy, the great cannon fire is the music for him, the canopy of heaven is the fireworks for him, in the holy war of order and chaos, he declares with his life: Shoot at me!"

The Glory of the "......", who had lost the quality of silver hair, looked at the equally embarrassed young man in front of him with his red pupils rather delicately, staring at his bright black pupils, "You're enough." ”

Amy Ulysses just smiled and didn't answer.

But incredibly, Joshua's nervousness and fear after walking around the border of death vanished in the good-natured laughter of his friends.

"But...... Thanks. ”

He whispered thanks to the young man beside him.

"Who are the two of us," Amy patted her friend's shoulder affectionately, "It's not easy to find a high-quality meat shield like yours, if you really want to repay me, remember to sell more blood when you fight in the future - rest assured, ordinary people will only be in danger of life if they have more than 1,500 milliliters of bleeding in a short period of time, and the physical fitness of the glorious will only be better, so it doesn't matter how to sell three or four thousand milliliters." ”

The unit of "......" milliliter seems to be recorded in the alchemical texts, and although Joshua lacks a real sense of this, it is not difficult to imagine from the young man's tone what kind of concept three or four thousand milliliters are for the human body.

It's going to die, no, it's going to die!

"The joke of adjusting the mood and atmosphere ended here, and the boy turned away, staring at the flames of war and the flying dirt not far away, "Although there is some hindsight, how they crossed the wall of sighs - those deep divers with special abilities may be quite tricky, but in the end, they are only similar to ordinary glory and sword wielders, and there is no possibility of breaking through the wall of sighs at all." ”

"Who knows. The red-eyed Glory Man spread his hands, "Maybe there are any hole cards." ”

"The stock of ammunition should be full, after all, Hemtica has not used city defense artillery for hundreds of years since the fall of the Misty Zone, and the accumulated firepower should be enough to plow the upper sector inside and out again and again. Amy Ulysses analyzed the situation, "If it's just a simple number, under the suppression of large-scale firepower, it can't make waves at all, but I'm afraid of it...... These are just cannon fodder used to test the truth and reality. ”

"It's a possibility. "There is no doubt that those half-human, half-fish monsters have intelligence and even intelligence, and judging from the formed army, it seems that they also have their own civilization, and it is not surprising that they will use tactics in foreign wars," but the title Deep Diver ...... Wouldn't it be more intuitive to be a fishman?"

"Perhaps. The boy was noncommittal, intuitively speaking, the name Fishman was indeed more appropriate, but for some reason, he was always stubbornly unwilling to admit this title in his subconscious.

So, Amy, who couldn't convince herself, took the initiative to divert the topic.

"We can't interfere in the battle if we stay here now," he said, which is also a fact, in the midst of the artillery fire that does not distinguish between the enemy and us, rushing out rashly can only die, "Do you have any plans?"

"Go and join the big army. Joshua patted the dust on his hair, then raised his eyebrows, "As you said, those fish people probably have a corresponding backhand, and if they continue to stay here, not only will it be meaningless, but it will easily lead to trouble." ”

"This time I voted yes. The boy chimed in.

It's just that...... Not long after the two of them had taken a step, the ground began to tremble.

The silver-haired, red-eyed Glory One seemed to want to stop and find out the cause of the change, but the moment his pace slowed, Amy Ulysses grabbed him by the sleeve and tugged hard.

"Let's go—"

He quickened his pace: "Don't look back. ”

Don't look back?

Joshua's heart was full of doubts, but he did not intend to ignore his friend's warning, and he did not hesitate too much to recognize the potential danger he had just caused, and quickly followed the young man's footsteps.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to ask: "What happened?"

"It's not very clear," Amy Ulysses didn't hide anything, "it's just that I think something very bad is going to happen if you stay there." ”

"For example?" Joshua didn't know the nature of the teenager's abilities, and asked completely subconsciously.

But unexpectedly, the answer was obtained.

"Like......" Amy paused, "the flood or something." ”

"The Great Flood?"

The voice full of doubts had just sounded before it came to an abrupt end.

Because—

The sound of the raging waves of the sea has been ringing in my ears.

"What is this?"

He followed in the footsteps of the boy and did not look back.

"As you can see," replied Amy, not heeding the language of her own words, "this is the prelude to the Great Flood." ”

Yes, the Great Flood.

Although he knew that the Deep Divers must have the confidence to dare to launch an attack on Hemtika, he didn't realize it until the death harbinger was launched again...... The so-called hole cards are not those empty and pan things, but real power, but enough violence to flip the table.

Tens of meters, hundreds of meters?

No, no, no –

The waves set off by the deep divers far exceeded the limit of what the eye could observe, the deep blue water and the dark canopy of the sky were almost integrated in the lightless world, although the wall of sighs that was said to be unbreakable still standing, but even the high wall towering into the clouds could not contain the waves that covered the sky, in the whistling sound of the sea churning and stirring, the huge waves repeatedly slapped on the wall, and the deafening roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the fishy sea water overflowed from the top of the sky dome, and the head and face were smashed down like the sky was tilting.

The entire upper area was like an ant's nest in a rainstorm, washed away by a sudden flood.

And...... And rightfully with the many deaths that come with it.

Perhaps it is for this reason that he looks down on the whole from a detached perspective, just as he glimpses the resurgence of the old rulers in front of the wall of sighs.

It's just that...... And that's all.

The future is so close that he alone cannot reverse it.

"Boom!"

The thunderous sound that shook the world shook the very foundation of Hemtika's existence, and for a moment, the bluestone-paved streets were full of cracks, and the lighting provided by the fire clay amulet and fire crystals could not find a single intact building in Amy and Joshua's shaky vision.

"Where are you going?" The silver-haired red-eyed Glory One noticed that the route the two of them had traveled had deviated from the meeting place they had originally planned to go, and the deviation was a little, no, very large.

It almost presents a sharp turn of 90 degrees.

"The Tower of Supreme. "Completely unexpected answer.

"Wait—" But after a little thought, you can understand why the Tower of the Supreme was chosen as the escape site—if the Flood did come, the tallest building in Hemtika would undoubtedly have the highest safety factor, "and yours is the real thing." ”

"Let's talk when we get to the place. ”

There's not much time left, and Amy doesn't plan to be distracted.

"Yes. ”

A symbolic response, followed by the silver-haired red-eyed Glory.

Under the pressure of life and death, the two of them crossed several blocks in front of them at great speed, and reached the empty Supreme Tower.

As the headquarters of the Order in Hemtika, it is natural that there is a way to resist the erosion of darkness, and the supreme light enshrined in the center of the hall on the first floor as a symbol of the Order's faith spreads a soft and bright light in the darkness.

"Let's go, thirty-two floors. ”

Through the lifting frame, the two came to the hanging garden.

On the one hand, it was chosen because the height is more than enough, and on the other hand, considering that there are many external windows on this floor, it is relatively convenient to observe.

Or jump out of a window to escape.

After all, it's still unknown whether a steam-powered lift will be able to continue to be used after being blistered in water.

"You say," Joshua looked out the window at the world engulfed in darkness, grimacing, "Is there a way for the council to deal with this great flood?"

"It's hard to say," it stands to reason that at the beginning of the pre-ancient kings' time, they were almost dragged into the sea by the Leviathan, a sea beast from the depths of the Sea of Chaos, and the rulers of Hemtica should have prepared for such a situation, but judging from what was seen in the precursors of death, it seems that this is not the case, "who can say anything about the big man, all we can do is wait and hope." ”

Amy also looked out the window at the darkness that was surging like a tide of fog, and a touch of color of unknown meaning flashed in her dark eyes.

It's just that...... After all, will the future foreseen by the death harbingers change?

He wasn't sure.

If he could, he hoped the answer would be

- Yes!
