Chapter 71: The End, Sword of Honor
[Thank you hjingggfgss, there is always a reward for Diao people who want to harm me]
The battle at the gates continued.
Although the hard-working "ultimate" did not cause any substantial damage to the God of War Axe, in the end, Cheruth also experienced a little bit of the means of compressing magic to increase its power, which was directly reflected in the fact that Cheruth's effective attacks on the God of War Axe became more.
And after the Axe of the God of War experienced what happened just now, it was not very enthusiastic about chasing Helo.
Needless to say, the axe of the god of war has once again wavered in the truth of the incident. If the other party really had the intention to assassinate Peter III, with this little girl's current strength, there would be no need for the later black-clothed assassins on the street, and they would be able to directly take down the head of Emperor Prud on the spot.
However, even if he felt that the wolf sisters must have some hidden feelings, the axe of the god of war did not waterproof Cheruth because of this, in fact, his purpose has changed from the initial pursuit of the fleeing Hero and the wolf to catch the little girl in front of him, as for the reason......
As a hero-level fighting powerhouse enshrined by the royal family, even if he didn't use all his strength and didn't use the power of the law in the city because of his scruples about accidental injury, if he couldn't even catch a little girl, it wouldn't be too shameless.
Cheruth didn't have a lot of combat experience, not to mention that she had to concentrate on controlling her strength to fight at the moment, and she had no time to think about anything else, so Cheruth didn't see the change in the purpose of the battle of the God of War's axe, but she felt a little strange that the opponent's attack suddenly eased down.
Confused by the authorities, Zero, who was watching from mid-air, quickly discovered that before he knew it, the battle between the Axe of War and Cheruth had been pushed from the position near the city gate to a place already some distance away from the city gate.
"Cheruth, run, he wants to get you!"
Zero immediately alerted anxiously.
Cheruth was startled, and then realized that she had been lured deep into the enemy.
"Array!"
The axe of the god of war didn't care about being shattered, and roared directly, and the soldiers who had just been forced to take shelter from the limelight because of the aftermath of the battle between the two appeared at the gate and city wall again, and this time there were even more people.
"Catch them!"
With the order of the axe of the god of war, the soldiers under the city gate raised their spears and shields, while the soldiers on the city wall showed their bows and arrows in unison, and even a few magicians who were rare in the Prude army this time appeared on the city wall, and several layers of enchantments around the city gate that did not look easy to break through.
That's not good.
Cheruth quickly withdrew from the battle and flew into the air next to Zero, and the Axe of War did not pursue, but watched them with confidence.
Of the two little girls, at least the weaker chestnut-haired girl would definitely be able to be captured, and as for the purple-haired one, although her speed was indeed not as fast as her, it was not much worse, as long as the soldiers at the city gate could hold her back for a moment, she was confident that she would catch up and force her back into the city.
The Axe of War's judgment of the situation is also what Chelus is worried about, and her situation is even worse than the Axe of War thinks, the continuous damage to her body caused by the excessive pure wind magic to the body makes all parts of her body constantly feel tingling and even paralyzing, so that the time limit for replicating ability has not expired, and her body may not be able to stand it first.
"Nanoha, can you help me drag it a bit," Chelus said, looking at the Axe of War, "Well, as much as you can, it's good to interfere a bit." ”
Zero nodded, she knew that it was impossible to hold back the God of War Axe with her own strength, but as Cheruth said, it was still possible to interfere with it.
"Cheruth, do you want?"
"I'll try, open the defenses on the other side of the gate, and we'll go together. ”
Cheruth barely managed to squeeze out an encouraging smile at Zero, in fact, she didn't know if she could succeed or not.
Zero looked at Cheruth and nodded earnestly.
"Well, I'll do my best to hold that guy back. ”
As a "tool", but in the end, he did his best for the people he valued, but gave up the mission of seeking happiness for more people...... I seem to be very disqualified.
However, as Zero watched as Cheruth closed her eyes and prepared to gather a cloud of compressed wind magic, she strangely didn't feel any regret in her heart.
Maybe if they knew what kind of being they were, they would think of themselves more like "tools" than people like those people...... But, at least for now, she is their friend "Nanoha", and they see her as a "person" who is no different from them.
It's just that the "human" experience at this moment is enough to make Zero greedy...... Even she forgot that she was a twelve-year-old child and an orphan.
The axe of the god of war saw the movement of Cheruth raising his hands, and immediately thought of what Cheruth wanted to do, his face changed drastically and rushed over to stop her, Cheruth knew that the other party would not give her enough time to prepare, while distracting and gathering magic power, while using speed to dodge the axe of the god of war, Zero was also very smart not to release the light gun needlessly, but to play the function of the two magic guide bracers themselves, constantly releasing dazzling strong light, interfering with the sight of the axe of war.
It's obviously the first time to cooperate, but there is an inexplicable tacit understanding.
Seeing that Cheruth was about to complete the unshaped mass of magic, the axe of the god of war was furious but helpless, so he had to shout for the city gate to hurry up and defend.
However, just as Cheruth was about to release the magic power in her hands towards the side of the city wall, a golden streamer suddenly appeared in the sky, piercing her abdomen directly.
"Uh-huh......"
Cheruth's eyes widened, her head went blank, golden... Is it a hero-level fighting spirit? I have been paying attention to every move of the God of War Axe, where did this fighting spirit come from?
"Cheruth!!"
Zero screamed, and Cheruth, who was wounded in the abdomen, was unable to throw the mana in her hand out at all, and the uncontrollable wind magic exploded directly above her head.
At the moment before the storm spread again, a man wearing silver armor with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other appeared on a roof not far away, holding the shield in his hand high, and then a huge golden and transparent Douqi shield appeared in the sky above the entire city, and the violent storm continued to hit the golden shield like a wave washing over the reef, but all of them were blocked.
"Big, big brother?"
The Axe of the God of War looked at the man who had blocked the raging wind with his fighting shield and had a straight face and an unsmiling face.
The eldest brother of the Axe of the God of War, he is also a warrior of the Prud royal family, and the sword of honor of one of the four hero-level fighting powerhouses.
On the other side, Zero, who was also lucky enough to be under the golden shield, desperately saw that outside the Douqi shield, the petite body of Chess, whose abdomen was pierced, was like a large rag doll with no support, and it was blown out by the storm in an instant, and it was impossible to see where the wolf girl was blown in the fierce wind.
"Cheruth... Cheruth!!"
Zero muttered, manipulating the Floating Wizard Shoes as if trying to fly out to find Cheruth, but at that moment, a man in black suddenly burst out from below, grabbing Zero's hands and immobilizing her.
Zero realized that he was about to struggle, but he was hit in the neck by the man and fainted.
The axe of the god of war, who noticed the movement here, roared angrily, and directly swung the big axe and slashed over.
Seeing the God of War's axe rushing over, the man unhurriedly threw the fainted Zero directly into a small alley not far away, and then took out a magic scroll from his arms and tore it apart, and an earthy yellow magic halo appeared around him.
Magic Enchantment?Want to block the attack of a hero-level fighting spirit with a single magic enchantment?Unless it is a scroll made by a sage-level magician, it is enough.
The axe of the god of war was disdainful, now that little girl with wolf ears no longer knew where the storm she had made herself had blown away, if she let this side run away again, then this night would really be a complete harvest.
However, in the next moment, the movement of the man in black made him suddenly have a bad premonition, and the man in black pulled out two short knives from behind his back and crossed them on his chest, and his whole body instantly burst out with a strong crimson fighting qi in front of him, forming a fighting qi shield, and the earthy yellow halo brought by the previous scroll was combined with the douqi shield, making the originally transparent douqi shield become as solid and solid as if it had a physical entity.
This person turned out to be the peak of master-level fighting spirit who was only one step away from the hero level?!
The axe of the god of war was shocked in his heart, but the axe in his hand had already slashed on the opponent's fighting shield, and the fighting shield shattered, and the black-clothed man's body shook and seemed to be injured, but with the power of the axe of the god of war to shatter his own fighting shield, he flew out directly, and also fell into the small alley where he threw Zero just now.
Rumble!
On the other side, seeing the sword of honor fighting here, he waved the sword in his other hand expressionlessly, and a golden fighting qi slash fell into the small alley, and the sound of the ground cracking was heard.
By the time the Axe of the God of War landed in the alley, it was already a mess, and there was a long trace of fighting spirit on the ground, but there was no human figure.
"Hell, let them run. ”
Cursing, the Axe of War came out of the alley and jumped to the roof where the Sword of Honor was, just as the storm above him had subsided, and the night sky above Kells had regained its calm.
"Big brother...... I was careless and let them run. ”
The Sword of Honor withdrew its shield and calmly looked at the Axe of the God of War.
"It's so big that I came over to take a look...... Axe, it is not me who you should apologize for, but His Royal Highness Prince Hoth who gave you orders. ”
Although he was already the top powerhouse in the continent, in front of his big brother who had been carrying him since the era of this mercenary group, the God of War Axe always felt that he was the stunned young man who still needed his eldest brother to worry about, so he didn't raise his head to explain, just scratched his head with some shame, waiting for the reproach of the Sword of Honor.
Therefore, the Axe of the God of War didn't notice it at all, and at this moment, the Sword of Honor looked at him with the same reproach as usual but an indescribable complication, especially when it came to the last sentence.
The Axe of the God of War raised its head, and his upright personality and trust in his eldest brother made him not have any doubts about the last words of the Sword of Honor, which obviously had something else.
"Indeed, my fault, my carelessness...... I didn't expect these two orc girls I met today to be so difficult. ”
The Sword of Honor didn't speak, just tilted its head again, as if searching for something.
“...... It's gone. ”
"Huh?" The Axe of the God of War was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head in a trance, "Big brother, you said that girl just now?" I think she seems to be unable to control the storm herself, and she was seriously injured by her eldest brother just now, and it will be blown away It will probably be difficult enough to survive." ”
