Chapter Seventy-Seven: Rescue
On the ground, the entire Emerald Magic Academy was alarmed by the battle that took place in the air. Ignoring the warnings of their instructors, the students leaned on the windows one by one to look at the sky, and when they saw the figures of the black dragon and the angel passing by, they would let out excited exclamations at the same time.
Although the dragons and angels know that they are real, they are almost invisible in the secular world because the dragon kingdom and Sky City have been closed for a long time.
Now it was not only the dragon and the angel that appeared in the sky above the Emerald Magic Academy at the same time, but also fought, how could it not make the young elves excited. When the aftermath of the dragon's breath and combat skills hit the protective shield opened by the academy, it made the academy scream continuously.
"Look! Is there an elf standing on the back of the black dragon? ”
The sharp-eyed elf saw the clear sky on the back of the black dragon Bariel, and he pointed at the black dragon and shouted to his classmates about his discovery.
The students cheered and shouted.
At this time, on the way down the mountain, the battle in the sky alarmed Dai'er in the carriage.
"Dragons and angels, how did they end up here? There was a fight over the academy! ”
Hearing Dai'er's words, the sheriff, who was still napping, opened his eyes suddenly, and then leaned on the window to look at the sky, and said indignantly: "The cunning black dragon dared to snatch my place while I was not paying attention. Jenfnie, I can't protect Princess Dale back to the Empire with you, and Her Majesty needs her loyal mount even more. ”
After saying that, the sheriff didn't wait for Jenvernie's consent, so he jumped out of the car window, and disappeared in an instant.
Jenverni failed to catch the sheriff, so she had to let him run back and explain the identity of the Black Dragon Bariel to Dale: "A lot has happened since you left the Empire, and now the Black Dragon Bariel is serving his sentence for the crimes he committed. As for the angel, I don't know where he came from. ”
Dale looked at the battle in the sky again and said, "Dark night, you stay!" Maybe Miss Sunny Sky has a place for you. ”
The darkness peeked out of the brim of Dale's hat, and she jumped to the window, took off her hat and saluted Dale gentlemanly: "Follow your orders, my princess." ”
"Go for it......"
Dark Night turned and jumped out of the car window.
Dale poked her head out, and the sheriff and the night were no longer visible. She looked at the battle in the sky again, and her worried expression did not decrease: "First the headhunters appeared, and then angels and dragons appeared, what happened to the Emerald Forest?" ”
Jefferney said, "What is wrong with this world? But rest assured, Your Highness, I think that with Miss Sunny Sky here, everything can be resolved perfectly.
The most important thing now is to protect your return to the Empire, and only by returning to the palace will you be able to provide you with the maximum help of the Emerald Forest. ”
"Are you going back?" Dale muttered, not knowing what she was thinking.
The carriage drove quickly along the mountain road, and a group of elven patrols rode past the side on reindeer, galloping towards the Emerald Magic Academy.
The battle that took place in the sky didn't last long, and the purpose of Clear Sky was only to test the true strength of the angel Siforth. Once she had the data, she fired an arrow, which turned into a rope in the air, tying the angel from head to toe with a broken wound.
The angel fell from the sky, and the black dragon Bariel rushed forward, hooked the rope with his claws, and swooped down towards the Emerald Magic Academy.
Just as it was about to touch the outer shield of the academy, a gap opened in the shield.
The black dragon Bariel, who rushed down from the gap, stretched his dragon wings and slowed down, steading his body as he approached the ground. He threw the angel Siphos into the square, and half-spread his wings to pave the stairs for the clear sky.
At this time, Abbot Vidal came to the square with a group of elven mages.
Clear Sky walked down from the black dragon's back and said to Dean Bidar: "Please take the angel Siphos into custody, and then send the elves to the Holy Lun City Sanctuary of the Golden Shield Empire, and inform the Angel of the mistake made by the Prophet Holy Book Theresia."
Then go to the Orlu Academy St. Lun City Branch to find Angel Malus and ask him to come to the Emerald Magic Academy. ”
Clear Sky took out a badge and handed it to Dean Vidal.
Abbot Vidal immediately handed the badge to the elven mage beside him, telling him to go to the Golden Shield Empire immediately.
Then ask the clear sky, "What's next?" ”
"Give me a sturdy room, and I'll interrogate this troubled angel."
The angel Siphos was escorted away by the elven mage, the black dragon Balel flew away from the sky, and the academy gradually restored order.
……
In a secret room in the Emerald Magic Academy, the angel Siforth is tied to a cross. His limbs were nailed with peculiar nails that restricted the flow of magic, and his armor was forcibly pulled out, and the wounds on his body oozed pale golden blood.
Shelley stood aside, with various torture instruments hanging on the wall behind him.
Clear Sky and Dean Vidal sat in their chairs, and the black cat that ran back was lying on the table, enjoying the massage of the mouse in the dark night.
Seaforth stared at the clear sky and asked unconvinced, "Who are you?" ”
"Who am I...... It doesn't matter right now. Clear Sky looked at the angel contemptuously and said, "According to the assessment of your strength in the last battle, even considering that you are injured, the combat power you show is still lower than my estimate of you.
It's reasonable to think about it, Sky City shouldn't send powerful angels to monitor the Magic Spring, and the fact that one of you can be hunted by the Headhunter also proves that your strength is seriously inconsistent with your arrogant attitude. ”
Being looked down upon, the angel Siforth said angrily: "My companion's death is because the magic spring is in a cave. I was defeated by you because I was badly injured and I had a black dragon to help you.
Otherwise you won't have a chance to catch me at all! ”
"The Magic Spring is in the cave!" Dean Vidal said, "This news can greatly narrow down the range of our calculations for the location of the Magic Spring. ”
Dean Vidal nodded: "We can exclude non-mountainous places. ”
Angel Siforth didn't expect that his words would be taken away by the other party with such important information, and he was even more angry: "Elf! You are doing this to me, which is a serious provocation to Sky City. Don't provoke the hostility of the angels when facing the headhunters.
Let me go and ask for my forgiveness is what you should be doing now! ”
Dean Vidal didn't want the relationship with Sky City to deteriorate, so he said, "We can let you go, but you must tell us the news of the headhunters truthfully." If your message can help us eliminate the headhunters, the angels can reap the honor and gifts of the forest elves. ”
"You have no right to interrogate me!"
Seeing that the angel was so stubborn, Clear Sky said to Dean Vidal, "Leave it to me, and I will let him tell him everything he knows." ”
Dean Vidal whispered, "I don't want to use torture instruments against angels. The Emerald Forest does not have the strength to deal with the headhunters while being attacked by angels again. ”
Clear Sky smiled: "Those torture instruments are just for example, and the angels will not succumb to simple torture to extract confessions. It takes some means and some patience to get to the truth.
I'll leave it to my subordinates, and they'll let the angels speak. ”
Shelley said confidently: "Miss Starry Sky, when I worked in the CIA, what I was best at was to extract confessions. Leave this angel to me! ”
"No, I have another important task for you." Clear Sky didn't dare to hand over the good angel to Shelley for interrogation, she said to the sheriff and the dark night, "The angel will be handed over to you, and I will let the spirit orb assist you." ”
Hearing the roll call, the sheriff and the night stood up: "Follow your orders!" ”
Clear Sky summons a spirit orb and places it in front of the sheriff. Seeing the spirit orb, the two pairs of eyes of a cat and a mouse suddenly lit up uncontrollably, this treasure is really a fatal temptation to the shadow parasite who is a spiritual transcendent creature.
The spirit orb, which is also a spirit-like transcendent creature, also emits a resonant-like light, and the light emitted by the cat's and mouse's eyes is even more dazzling.
Angel Siforth recognized at a glance what the cat and mouse on the table were.
"ShadowClan! You who can bring dragons and ShadowClan to their knees...... Who the hell is it? ”
Dean Vidal was also taken aback by the name of the ShadowClan, he didn't expect the two little things on the table next to him to have such a big origin.
Shadowclans, angels, and dragons are equals.
Clear Sky smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. If you don't want to suffer, just tell me what you know. ”
"Angels will not give in."
Angel Siforth's mouth was very hard, and the clear sky said to Dean Bidal: "The interrogation is not something that can be completed in a short time, if the dean you are not worried about my people, you can send your trusted assistant to assist in the interrogation." ”
Dean Vidal insisted on accompanying Qingkong to the interrogation for fear of irreversible consequences. But the current situation is that there is no way to ask for key information without using extraordinary means. I have more important things to do, and I really haven't experienced staring at the interrogation process.
"Okay, I'll send an assistant to assist in the interrogation."
Sunny Sky gives the task of interrogating the angels to the sheriff and Night, and she accompanies Dean Vidal out of the secret room. As soon as the wall behind him closed, an elven mage hurried in.
"Lord Dean, His Majesty the King of the Three Leaves sent a messenger...... The territory of the Headhunters was discovered southeast of the Royal Court, and the nearby Royal Court patrols engaged the Headhunters.
Your Majesty, please go to the Emerald Lake to discuss countermeasures. ”
Hearing this, Dean Vidal was very surprised, he didn't expect the headhunters to expand so quickly. According to the prediction of comprehensive information, it will take at least a week for the headhunters to touch the Emerald Court on the edge.
The battle between the royal court patrol and the headhunters will attract the headhunters to increase their troops quickly, and the war will escalate very quickly.
It's hard to breathe at the speed of events!
Dean Vidal said to Clear Sky, "I'm going to Emerald Lake now. Miss Starry Sky and your entourage can stay at the academy first, and when I return, we will do the calculations.
Alas...... It's all my fault!
It's all my fault! ”
Frustrated, Abbot Vidal followed the messenger away.
Sunny Sky and Shelley live in the dormitory that the college has arranged for them.
Looking out from the heights, the royal court patrol army was stationed inside the academy from the outside. The suspension bridge between the college and the mountain road was pulled up, and the castle was surrounded by towering cliffs. More griffons and pegasus hovered around the academy and the cliffs, and the elves riding on them stuck their detection magic probes into the crevices of the rocks.
There was no longer a relaxed atmosphere in the academy, and the instructors had to reveal the existence of headhunters to the students.
Now that the headhunters have arrived near the Jade Palace, the Jade Magic Academy is located on the edge of the royal court, and it will be surrounded and besieged by the headhunters at any time. Now that the academy has been cut off from ground communication with the outside world, the only thing that needs to be defended is the steep cliffs and the air.
The royal court patrols stationed in the academy quickly set up defenses on the city walls, set up watchtowers, arrow towers, and cantonment stations, and used the towering towers of the academy to set up magical support positions.
The senior students of the academy were organized and assigned to form spell groups under the command of the academy mentor.
Students in the middle grades are trained in military affairs with patrol instructors.
Younger students are assigned tasks to make improvised magic weapons and alchemical enchanted arrows.
By the afternoon, Dean Vidal had not returned. However, another patrol team was transferred from the Jade Royal Court, and with them came a cartload of supplies, including guns.
The forest elves, who are good at using bows and arrows, are very reluctant to use guns, believing that guns, like crossbows, are not righteous and bright weapons, and do not reflect the beauty of shooting. However, the Jade Court is also a major exporter of guns, and the advantages of alchemy technology and refining technology make the guns made by the Jade Court not only gorgeous and beautiful, but also have high shooting indicators.
Possession of a forest elf forged gun and a set of dwarven armor is recognized as standard for the upper class around the world. Even though the price of the Elf Gun is very expensive, it is still sold so well that demand exceeds supply. Therefore, even though the forest elves do not like guns very much, they still bow their heads to the money.
This time, in order to resist the attack of the headhunters, the forest elves exported their guns to domestic sales, and it seems that they are well aware of the advantages of guns over bows and arrows. Against a large number of low-level targets, cheap bullets can save the crafting process of alchemy enchanted arrows.
Clear Sky watched the patrols and the academy teachers and students in his room actively preparing for battle, and in the evening, a fire broke out in the forest around the Emerald Magic Academy. At night, the sight of the eye is full of skyrocketing fires.
The elves began to burn the forest around the royal court, which would prevent the Headhunters from getting any further and create an open area where the Headhunters could be easily discovered.
I don't know what happened to the forest protection organization.
In the midst of the great calamity, there will be demons dancing!
None of this was for Clear Sky to consider, though, and she relayed what she had seen and heard today to Luke through a conscious connection.
At this time, Luke had put aside all cabinet affairs and arrived at the City of Angry Waves from the City of St. Lun.
The exclusive airship landed directly on the platform above the city administration hall building, and then the Angry Waves Council was convened to announce the establishment of a special humanitarian task force to support the Emerald Forest, and Luke himself was the leader of the working group.
The councillors who had come to the meeting had yet to figure out why the Emerald Forest was suddenly in need of humanitarian assistance, and Luke flicked his pen...... The parliament approved a special appropriation of up to 10 billion Reichsmarks.
The first assistant and governor personally sat in the government affairs hall building, and all the political and economic departments of the entire Nutao City worked overtime at full speed.
Transfer of freighters.
Procurement of food.
Procurement of civilian daily necessities.
Coal, fire crystals, magic ore, medicines, steel......
All sorts of relief supplies were packed and shipped to Cape Harbor, where they were loaded onto ships for delivery to the southernmost port of the Empire.
From there to the Emerald Forest, it only takes three days to reach it at full speed.
