"Boss, I'll leave the crystal to you, let's go to the dock to set it up first. ”

With these words, Edith rushed to the docks with all the members of the army.

As Alyssa said, after capturing them all, the troops stationed in Port Solan were noticeably more relaxed. The covert infiltration operation is no stranger to them, and since the establishment of the unit, because Alyssa has taken the elite route, the team has very few members, which directly leads to the fact that they have been given missions that are close to suicide.

For example, a small team infiltrates the port of Solan and destroys the tightest port defense of the Byron Empire...... Edith really wants to complain about the bigwigs in the rear line, it is better to let them directly assassinate the king of the Byron Empire. According to common sense, they should have died countless times a long time ago, but fortunately they have a captain who can not be described by common sense either.

When everyone is in a desperate situation, Lieutenant General Alyssa is always capable of turning the tide.

The difficulty of breaking the defense line of Solan Harbor can only be described as a life of death, so much so that Edith believes that this is really the "last" mission issued to them by the rear. The door to peace may really be in front of him, Edith doesn't know what others think, but he has long hated war.

"'Hunchback', you go survey the terrain. ”

After Edith eliminated one of the lone night watchmen on the docks, he gestured to the rest of the team, "The others...... We're going to have the dock 'cleaned' up before the captain returns. ”

......

Edith was in charge of cleaning the docks, and he met Sicia near the castle lord's manor, and then ......

As Alyssa walked through the night, she suddenly remembered. In the depths of her mind, there were two very different worlds, but between them, there was a blurred area. It was this ambiguity that led Alyssa to split the memory in two. Now, she's almost sure she's been here.

Alyssa arrived at the manor, and Cecia was sneakily holding her saber and leaping from the second floor.

Then Cecia saw Alyssa on the outskirts of the manor, and she beckoned to her awkwardly, hunched over, and slipped out. As soon as she came to Alyssa, Cecia apologized to Alyssa in a crying tone: "I'm sorry Alyssa! I didn't expect the adjutant to secretly tell my father about my plan...... Good thing you're okay, I'm worried about you!"

Cecia handed the sword back to Alyssa.

His father was overjoyed by the capture of Alyssa alive, and he summoned the people who had pretended to be "city lords" to hold a banquet in the manor. Only then did Cecia realize that all her imagination was a trick her father used to deceive her alone. He had long expected that he would contact Alyssa in private, and would make Alyssa "fall into the net" as planned.

Alyssa may not believe in such an obvious trap, but no one knows her daughter better than the castle lord, and her naïve and unrealistic fantasies are not suitable for the battlefield.

Thecia felt a strong sense of guilt for her father's act of concealing herself, and she felt that she had betrayed her innocent friendship with Alyssa. So Cecia made up her mind to release Alyssa and her troops after everyone had fallen asleep, even if it was against her father's wishes.

She believed that the way to end the war was not to bring despair to the enemy, but to bring hope to all.

"I didn't count what I said before, I heard that your subordinates were all escorted to prison, so I'll take you to save them!......?"

Sicia suddenly realized something, and asked instead, "I heard that you were escorted to prison by them, why did you ......?"

"Your soldiers deserted while escorting me, and I took the opportunity to slip away. Alyssa said casually.

"It's Alyssa!"

Cecia's happy appearance made Alyssa a little stunned, why would anyone cheer the enemy fleeing from her own soldiers? She felt that if Sicia had not taken the title of the daughter of the city lord, she would have been regarded as a traitor to the enemy.

"Let's go. ”

"Hmm...... Where to go?"

"Prison, of course, to get your subordinates out! I had asked the adjutant to entertain them well, but my father found out about my plan and sent them to prison. ”

"Cecia. Alyssa stopped the other party: "I heard that there are a lot of crystals in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"Do you like crystals too?"

"In Herutia, if you want to pay a friend for it, you must bring a crystal to show your sincerity. Alyssa spoke. She remembered that this was what she had said to Cecia, and when she heard it, she ran back to the manor without suspicion...... Sure enough, after she spoke, Sithia left a sentence of "wait for me here" and turned to run, and Sicia jumped lightly up the window on the second floor and returned to her room.

It wasn't a dream, just a projection of her disorganized memory.

After Cecia vanished, Alyssa turned and walked over to a tree—if this was a projection of that memory, then she might be able to see it this time.

"But you know your mission, don't you?"

The woman in the skull mask asked, the scythe carried by the Grim Reaper glowing silver in the moonlight. Alyssa got her wish and found the "Grim Reaper" in her memory in the same location.

"Alyssa, be careful, there is a demon in your heart. 』

This is what the Knight of the Round Table, Ramov Lancelot, told her before she stepped on the battlefield.

In fact, Alyssa is not alone, because whenever she wields her sword to reap the lives of her enemies, she is able to establish a connection with the "demon". In fact, she never rejected the demon that Ramov spoke of, because that demon taught her how to be strong, and the demon knew her and understood the restlessness in her blood.

But now, Alyssa has a new understanding of "demons".

"Wars are never resolved peacefully, and if you give up here, all the efforts of the Herutian Alliance will be in vain. "Death" seduces: "You can't resist the smell of blood, wake up, Elisa, what's good about the end of the war? Where else can you kill so freely? and even be considered a hero after killing to your heart's content...... There's nothing better than listening to your own heart, and you should be able to hear it—the sound that is surging in your blood. ”

Ramov-Lancelot believes that this is the dark side of her heart, half of her soul corrupted by monsters.

But......

Perhaps demons and "death" were not projections in her mind, they were real. It exists in every corner of the war, and spares no effort to perpetuate the war.

Alyssa suddenly remembered the name of her enemy.

"I have one more question...... she whispered.

"Huh?"

"You, Greila or Sindora?"

Alyssa's sword slammed out of its sheath, pointing at the throat of the Grim Reaper, and the world in front of her was sliced apart by the sword, leaving a blood-red space. Alyssa was on a single-plank bridge, and at the end of the bridge, a monster made of blood stared at her with a twisted gaze.
