Nelly stopped attacking and switched to defending against Danacus's counterattack throughout the process, and Mina, who had withdrawn, rejoined the fight, cooperating with Dilly to try to strike when the enemy was counterattacking, which could reduce the frequency of Danakus's attacks and distract him as much as possible. www.biquge.info"Pannis drew a map of the location of the battle on the table, recreating the desperate battle a hundred years ago in front of the girls' eyes: "I was the one who took over Nelly's original mission, so I also felt how much pressure Nelly was under during this period of fierce battle. As for Vrard, he and Maya are at the end of the group, only occasionally launching a ranged attack, and the attack strength is deliberately weakened, just enough to be judged as an attack, and sometimes not even this standard. ”

"Looks like you can't help it anymore. Catherine nodded and said: "Think it's time to turn over the hole cards, you have actually been worried for the past few hours, what ability Danakus still has not used, so you have been patient, until Danakus began to fight back." Do you think that if he had other means, he would not wait until he was forced to start fighting back and refused to use it, so he thought that this was already his limit, and decided to use your last and strongest weapon, the Hunting Arrow. ”

"There is another reason, so to speak. Pannis said with a wry smile: "We have done everything we can, we have done our best, although no one has said anything, even Dilly has not complained, but I know that their endurance has reached the limit, and if they continue to consume like this, I am afraid that there will really be attrition, so I will make this decision." ”

"This ...... It's not like you at all. Catherine hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "If that's the reason, it means that you've given up." ”

"Heh, you can still see it. Pannisto stared at the flame of the oil lamp dancing in the room, and said softly with a hint of confusion in his voice: "That's right, when I made this decision, I knew that in fact, in this war, I had already lost. I had no more tactical preparation, and I no longer had any cards to use, and I knew that I had been cornered and had to pin my only hope on the enemy's weakness and illusory luck. If Danacus had other means at his disposal, or if there was any deviation in our hunting arrows, then everything would have gone in the worst direction, and of course, in this form, our war with Danacus had not yet been won or lost, and perhaps there was still a chance to win, but the war that belonged to me had been completely lost. ”

"The first time you've been forced into such a situation?" Catherine asked, biting her lip, "the first time you've faced failure?"

"Yes, it's the first time I've faced a desperate situation. Pannis said with a self-deprecating smile: "It may not be appropriate to say that the first time I faced failure, in my previous adventure life, there were many times when I encountered the result of mission failure, such as the time we were in the Flash Forest, in fact, even if it was a mission failure, but these failures did not hit me, because they were failures in another sense." But this time is different, this time it is a real failure, although I still seem calm on the surface, still in order to convey instructions, but I can no longer be calm in my heart, I began to blame myself, I began to doubt whether I have the ability to lead everyone to victory, and even began to doubt, maybe summoning everyone to this world of death is a mistake in itself, maybe there is a better choice, and I did not find it. ”

"Self-doubt is often the beginning of self-denial. Although Freya has not seen Pannis's most depressed appearance, but at least he has heard him mention it himself, Her Royal Highness the princess who is mentally mature enough can completely imagine his pain over the years, and only the collapse of faith, complete self-denial, will make a normal person become like that, but Her Royal Highness the princess does not know, how can a person like Kyle fall to the point of collapse of faith, and now, she finally understands that for others, it may be just an inconspicuous little thing, but for Pannis, or Kyle back then, it has brought her to the edge of self-denial。

"Well, I can understand that. Catherine nodded: "But, it's not terrible to face a desperate situation, even to face failure, no one will keep everything going well all their lives, there will always be times when you face failure, you know, I mean real failure." ”

"I'm different, I'm perfect, a perfect person is not allowed to fail, a perfect person should keep everything going well for the rest of his life, until the final gorgeous curtain call. Pannis laughed silently, pointed to his nose and said, "That's what I think, or rather, this is Kyle's idea, is it ridiculous? Hehe, the perfect Kyle, the brave Kyle, the Kyle who will never let his friends down, is actually just a coward who doesn't even dare to face failure, just one failure, will bring him to the brink of collapse." ”

"No, no. Just as Catherine stretched out her hand and comforted Pannis's hand, Lina suddenly slapped the table and said loudly: "There is a problem in your words, you are not without hole cards, you at least have one last hole card." ”

"Yes, let everything return to square one, let all efforts return to nothingness. Pannis pouted and said: "Let Danakus occupy the body of one of them, and then this person will kill himself at the last moment, indeed, this method has always been there, and no one has forgotten it, but for me, the tactic of having to sacrifice a teammate to see cannot be called a hole card at all, unless it is ......"

"Unless that person is yourself, right. Catherine was all too familiar with this kind of thinking, it was the standard chivalric thinking, and it was clear that the two of them had been partially assimilated after spending too much time with Nelly.

"Oh, maybe. Pannis scratched his head, smiled awkwardly and said, "So ......"

"Still not right. This time it was Vivian who interrupted him, the mage girl's eyes became sharp, stared at Pannis's eyes and said: "There is a concealment in your words, a perfect person, in the face of the first failure, may be lost and hesitant for a while, but it is impossible to completely collapse, if it collapses so simply, it cannot be called a perfect person, so, there must be something else happening." ”

"Of course. Pannis nodded, "Because the story isn't over yet." I just started to doubt myself, it wasn't that I didn't have the opportunity to adjust my mentality back, to be exact, I had already started to adjust my mentality, and at the same time I was communicating the tactics to everyone, so almost at the same time, everyone launched the strongest attack. ”
