Chapter 19: What to Fear
Each of the warriors obediently reported their rankings and had hunted the Awakened, and as Isu expected, there were indeed many warriors of twenty-five and below who had no experience at all. Such a situation suddenly chilled the hearts of all the warriors.
Miria was silent for a moment, then began to calmly divide into groups.
Appointed herself, Ysu, Flora, Jane's top 10 fighters, and 11th ranked Wentini as squad leaders. Then divide the fighters into the team one by one according to their ranking.
Of these, Ysus' team has one more than the others' teams, while Miria's has one less than the others.
The strongest member of Izu's team besides her is Belonica, who is ranked thirteenth.
I don't know if Miria deliberately used the public for personal gain, and taking care of so many people in this way made Ysu feel very troublesome. Of course, you can't object to it.
"Very well, so let's take advantage of today to remember what your companion looks like. Miria continued.
"Speaking of combat, in fact, there is no special strategy, a squad against an awakened person, this is the most basic principle, no different from the past. β
"If there are more than two Awakened Ones, we will fight with two or more formations..."
"Or don't force the battle to open the distance, in short, you must keep the state that there is only one awakened person to fight. β
"The battle will start tomorrow, so let's recover your body from the fatigue of the long journey today. β
As Miria spoke, each of the warriors found a room in their own squad and began to rest.
The inhabitants of Pietta had long since taken refuge, and the town was full of empty houses, which made it easier for the warriors looking for a place to rest.
The organization was also kind enough to send a large amount of spare equipment to be stockpiled in a warehouse in the town, so that the soldiers could replace their torn combat uniforms.
However, gathering nearly the average warrior of the organization to complete a mission is probably unprecedented in the history of the organization.
It's just that the nature of the task isn't so likable.
Flora mysteriously grabbed Ysu before leaving.
In Isu's puzzled gaze, he asked, "Are you really faster than Miria?"
In the end, I couldn't help but accept the fact that Izu was cheating.
Isu looked at the five people in the room and suddenly felt that her head was big, she had no experience of taking care of others. After all, when she was a trainee, Galadia had always taken care of herself, and after becoming a full-fledged warrior, she rarely teamed up with the next warrior, taking care of herself alone, and now she has to take care of five fighters at once, and she always feels a little overwhelmed.
"That, Belonica. Izu, somewhat embarrassed, talked to the second strongest member of her squad.
"What's the matter, Captain. "Bellonica wears a very clean ponytail and gives the first impression that she is very kind.
"Well, can you take care of them for me?" Actually, Izu wanted to go outside and talk about it, but it was strange to suddenly call someone out.
"Oh~" Belonica looked at Isu with a strange look, "Captain, you haven't had the experience of taking care of others, right?"
"......" was actually seen through, and Isu was silent. Just nodded silently.
"No problem. Belonica's answer made Isu breathe a sigh of relief, and Izu's appearance made the team members laugh, which eased the tense atmosphere before the war.
In fact, there were so many soldiers who looked like they were going to do it immediately, because they were too nervous, so they needed to rely on that way to relieve their emotions.
Izuy sighed and shrugged at her teammates, ready to go out.
In fact, Isu always had the illusion that he was being targeted by something. But the cold feeling of having a pair of eyes behind her was deeply seared in her heart, and she had to be vigilant.
Although Isu's perception ability is not strong, she can also sense that the five demonic qi that she is most familiar with among all the warriors are concentrated together.
Miria, Jane, Divi, Helen, Claire.
Even if Izu isn't a very curious person, she wants to find out what they're up to.
And the benefits of her hidden demonic aura are manifested, even if she gets close to them and eavesdrops outside the cave where they gathered, they will not be discovered.
"Do you think... What are the chances of success in this battle?" asked Claire.
"This operation... The chance of success is zero!" Miria's answer instantly elicited Helen's shout of "What?!", and even Ysu outside the cave was a little surprised.
I thought that there was a certain possibility that the task received by the warrior would be completed even if it was difficult to complete, but at the same time, Isu also believed that Miria was not a person who would talk casually.
In other words, Miria was almost correct in her conclusion that her chances of success were zero, and she sentenced all the warriors who came to this place to death.
"If only there were a majority of the Awakened, it would be fine... Wrong... I mean, the odds are low, but the chances of success aren't zero..."Miria continued, her voice a little low.
"But, the man who is behind it all... No matter how well a strategy is formulated and how much combat power is built, everything will become meaningless. β
"That man..."
"The Silver King of the Lands of the North... Isli the Abyssal Oneβ" Claire took over.
Is it really Isli who is making trouble behind all this, Isu clenched his fists.
Suddenly, Isu shuddered for no apparent reason. The cold meaning in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
I always feel that the unknown thing staring at me seems to be getting closer and closer to me. At the same time, I felt that there were three unfamiliar demonic auras entrenched outside the city, and there was a tendency to move.
"Enemy attack!!" the three demonic spirits rushed in the direction of the town of Pieta. Isu understood the situation in an instant.
"The Awakened are coming!!" Powered by demonic power, Izu's voice was terrifying. The warriors who had not really rested also rushed out of the room at the first time, and the five people in the cave also rushed out immediately.
Miria had also felt the three demonic auras that were not weak.
"According to the group, Milia group, Jane group, and Wentini group will face each other, and the remaining two groups will be assisted!"
Miria, as the instructor, gave the order almost instantly.
All the fighters, frightened or excited, experienced and inexperienced, drew their greatswords behind them.
At this moment, man is the sword, and the sword is the man!
"Izu and Flora do their job of protecting!" another order, apparently to protect those lower warriors.
War is on the verge of breaking out, and the three battle teams are glued together with the three awakened ones who are already awakened bodies.
Countless empty houses were destroyed and rubble scattered to the ground.
But Isu's whole body was more nervous for some reason, and it wasn't the three awakened who were putting pressure on him.
What is it that makes you so jealous?!
