"It's not early, I have to hurry tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Without looking back, Lily walked over to a leafy linden tree, climbed the branches, and lay down on it. "Go to sleep, I won't forgive you easily if you drag on any longer?"

Yuffie used a spell to dispel the remaining dampness in the carriage, and she had been staying in the cramped carriage all these days, and Lily suspected that she had not rested at all. Bell burped, spread the tarp on the floor, and spread out the somewhat worn rolls.

"You just sleep with me!" Bell patted the cover and fell on it, "I'll tell you about it tomorrow...... Previous ...... Danger ......" he let out an even breathing sound, apparently asleep.

Ed couldn't laugh or cry. He stared at Bell for a moment, then lay down lightly.

Alphonse stood still under the tree. His sapphire eyes roamed around, occasionally meeting Lily, then parting moments later. Lily could see some concern in those eyes. Do machine people have human emotions? She silently jotted down the question and decided to bring it to Master next time.

She closed her eyes and listened to the gentle sound of the wind, the undulating chirping of insects, the smell of a burning campfire, and the running water of a stream not far away, and slowly fell asleep.

Yufie's voice sounded in his ears.

"Wake up, Lily, hurry up."

Lily opened her eyes. She never slept too deeply in the wilderness, even if Alphonse did the vigil. She looked around—the campfire had not yet been burned, and Yuffie was standing where Alphonse had been, with a hole about a meter in diameter that had appeared at some point.

"Come down quickly, watch your step, we don't have much time to prepare." Yuffie whispered, "Come in here, and go on, and I'll be right there." ”

Lily rolled over and jumped down, the slope of the cave was steep, but not too deep. Carefully descending inside, she took a few steps against the narrow rock wall, and then rounded a corner, and a soft light suddenly covered her vision. The cave in front of him was about two meters square, and Alphonse stood in the inner corner, a ball of light floating on the roof of the cave, providing illumination. She raised her hand and touched the 'rock wall', which was slightly uneven, as if it had just been flipped.

A few minutes later, Bell muttered and walked down, ending with Ed and Yuffie holding hands. The young man looked at Lily with a puzzled look in his eyes. Lily shook her head, signaling that the boy didn't have to worry.

"What the hell is going on?" She stroked the back of the obsidian greatsword and looked at Yufie.

"There's a guest coming." Yuffie replied softly, holding out her slender right hand, "Lily, Bell, Ed."

And Alphonse, take my hand and close your eyes. ”

Lily did as she was told. The girl's hand barely had a body temperature, and she felt a strange touch stretch up from her arm to her brain—and she suddenly 'saw' the scene outside, overlapping with the scene inside the cave, dazzling. She quickly closed her eyes, and the view inside the cave vanished.

She seemed to float in the air, spinning, advancing, rising or descending freely from time to time. At the same time, the sensations of her feet and body told her that she was still standing on solid ground. The clash of the two senses made Lily feel a little dizzy, and she reached for the wall, opened her eyes slightly, and saw Bell let go of Yufie's hand and sit on the floor.

"I'm sick from my flight." The Beron urn grumbled angrily.

"Shh Yuffie lowered her voice and put her finger to her lips, "They're coming." ”

Lily closed her eyes again. Thick clouds obscured most of Tess' and the stars, but her vision could cut through the darkness. A group of men cautiously walked along the edge of the forest, some dressed in pitch-black leather armor and trousers, others dressed plainly. Each had a crossbow or long sword in his hand and a sharp dagger stuck in his waist. She counted eighteen in all.

And in front of them was the campsite of Lilianor's regiment.

"Yufie ......?"

"It's the enemy." The girl replied briefly, "I'll talk about the specific reason later, can I trouble you about the battle?" ”

"Then you still need to ask." Lily lifted the greatsword and waved it lightly, "Let's say, it can't be the 'robber' found by the stubborn uncle, right?" ”

Yuffie was silent for a moment, looking away slightly, "You guessed it. ”

"Hmm......" Lily glanced at Ed, the boy still not seeming to figure out what was going on. Is it okay to kill it? ”

"Try not to be better...... But, after all, it's an enemy. Yuffie sighed softly and placed her hand on Lily's chest. Lily lowered her head, finding herself gradually becoming transparent, and finally her entire body, along with the stone sword, disappeared into thin air.

She touched her cheek with her unseen hand rather interestingly, and saw Bell slowly disappear from her eyes.

"Wait a minute, be careful not to trip." Yuffie took her hand and walked towards the passage on the other side of the stone chamber, "Of course...... A few 'witnesses' are still needed. ”

They poked their heads out of the exit of the passage, less than twenty meters from the attackers. No one noticed them.

Yuffie stretched out his fingers and silently recited the incantation. The spell struck the group closest to them, and they shook a few times and fell headlong to the ground with a few muffled sounds.

The attackers looked at each other, unable to figure out what was happening for a moment. Lily leaped out of the aisle and arched herself. Yuffie flicked his finger quickly and silently threw out the second spell.

A cloud of light burst through the attackers, and the few people closest to the source covered their eyes and screamed. The light turned into a bright dust that enveloped their bodies—bright as beacons of a harbor at this moment in the night.

Lily rushed at the other party quickly, swinging the stone sword in her hand. The spine of the sword roared and struck a man in black in the back, sending him flying - a blow that didn't do its best, but it was enough to make it impossible for an average person to get up for a short time.

"Your Grandpa Bell is here!"

The voice of the Perons arrived before him. Bell held the scimitar behind him and slashed at the assailant's wrists and ankles with the back of the knife. The crisp sound of bones breaking, and the cries of the attackers in pain, rang out one after another.

The attackers appear to have only minimal training and are far less effective than Lily and Bell. But they did not hesitate, and even pounced on them without fear of death. Several paper bags flew towards Lily, and she turned her head, the paper bags shattering behind her back, white dust outlining her figure.

Enemies surrounded her from all sides. She tried her best to block the attack that pierced the vital point, but the dagger cut a dozen centimeters in her leg. There was a faint numbness from the wound, and the whole leg seemed to be a little disobedient.

Bell turned his knife and slashed one of the attackers at the waist. Despite losing the entire lower half of his body, the man in black still clung to Bell's legs. Lily heard Belon's muffled grunt of pain coming from the crowd.

"I'm sorry." Her gaze turned cold, and her eyes seemed to glow in the starry night, "We don't want to do this. ”

More than a dozen magical missiles shrouded in brilliance grazed her side, repelling the crowd that surrounded her. In a dogfight, magic can easily cause accidental damage, and Yuffie and Alphonse can only choose spells that are less powerful but easy to control.

Lily threw the stone sword straight forward, and the obsidian greatsword whirled, knocking over an unlucky one. And then came the real storm.

She was like a leopard weaving back and forth through enemy lines, fists, elbows, knees, feet, and even heads and teeth, with lethal weapons in every part of her body. The attackers swung their swords and attacked the air in vain. Crushing a throat bone, breaking the bridge of her nose, breaking her neck, slamming her jaw, or removing a joint from her shoulder with her bare hands—no enemy could survive her for ten seconds, and the wails were one after the other.

After a few moments, none of the attackers were able to continue the fight. Lily clapped her hands—stained with blood and a small amount of minced flesh—and felt a little distraught. She likes to fight, but that's with powerful monsters or beasts, not with these kindred.

"It's over." She shouted at Yuffie and walked over to her greatsword, regaining her grip in her hand.
