Neule concentrated and looked closely,

The air on the side of the hot air balloon rope has subtle ripples that are difficult for ordinary people to notice, and only with excellent eyesight like his can detect it.

The ripples are getting closer and closer, and the battle-hardened earl can judge the direction of the enemy's attack just by the air current.

He jerked out his hand and grabbed the sharp spike in the air, his palm slit, dripping warm blood.

"Sure enough, cunning bastard, hide in a hot air balloon after killing someone, your trick should be over!"

A strong wind struck, and Neulai raised his saber to block the next attack,

His arm was shaken to the core, his hand holding the saber cracked, and the collision between his limbs and steel produced sparks, which showed the fierceness of his opponent's strength.

The monster appeared as soon as it was forced, looking like a combination of an ape and a deep-sea fish, hairless, covered in pale and soft skin.

It had no eyes, two arms with sharp spikes at the ends, and its most powerful weapon of attack was its long, scorpion-like tail with a wicked hook.

"You're ugly!"

Neulei could only vent his anger with his mouth, and he used all his strength to save his life, only to watch as the hook on the monster's tail stung towards his neck.

At the last moment, Colonel Charlotte rolled out of the corner and pulled out Neulai's dagger.

With a "click", the arthropod-like tail was severed in the air, green slime splattered from the fracture, and the monster's terrible screams tormented the eardrums of the two.

Charlotte picked up her tail: "Give it back to you!" ”

She sliced through the monster's tough skin with her dagger, then stabbed it with a hook at the end of its severed tail, and the poisoner was struck with her own venom, and her nervous system began to paralyze.

Neulai felt the pressure on his hand suddenly lighten up, and he roared and pushed his enemy away, slashing his saber diagonally downwards and upwards.

One blow slice the throat, the second slashes the solid vertebrae, and the third slashes off the head completely.

The strange thing is that the body of the monster without a head is still writhing, Charlotte frantically swings the dagger, and after stabbing dozens of holes, the monster does not move at all, she feels that it is not enough to relieve her anger, and she is still attacking.

"Stop, it's dead, Colonel, if you keep stabbing a few hundred times, your men won't come back to life."

"Smack! I don't care about you! ”

Charlotte slapped the Count's hand away, and fell to her knees and continued to stab until the long dagger curled up the blade, and did not stop until she had no strength, and her whole body was splashed with stinking green slime.

Charlotte looked at the corpses strewn across the pod, and she was disappointed to find that the Count was right,

No matter what you do, you can't save the lives of your subordinates, and there is no second chance in this cruel world.

Throwing away the dagger, Charlotte, who was on the verge of mental collapse, fell to her knees and cried bitterly:

"I'm sorry...... It's all my fault! ”

Neulai pressed her shoulder: "No, Colonel, you have done a good job, there is no need to blame yourself. ”

"Lord Earl...... I really want to...... Forget it when you're dead! How do you explain to the parents of these children when you go back? ”

"If you fight, you will die, this is the duty of our soldiers, don't run away, when you go back, face the scolding of those relatives, they need a window to vent, remember, you are the head of the Air Force."

"I'm sorry...... I'm too weak to make you laugh, sir. ”

"No, Colonel, you're strong."

This world is so cruel, there is no mercy at all, there is no such thing, there is no one to be blessed, and there is no one-way disaster.

With a terrifying sound, more bat monsters flew out of the cave, like flies entrenched in a dung pit, and the number of them made the scalp tingle.

A fireball hits the balloon itself, and the flames quickly spread and invade the pod along the rope.

The enemy, who had received reinforcements, began to storm wildly, and the entire sky seemed to be engulfed in flames,

There were hundreds of hot air balloons that burned and fell, and many of them couldn't stand the heat and jumped one after another, falling into puddles of meat sauce on the rocks of the islands.

Charlotte's attempt to extinguish the flames with ballast sand was ultimately in vain, the balloon burned through several holes, and the speed of its descent was gradually accelerating;

Neule lit a cigar and calmly awaited the judgment of fate.

The other could not calm down at all, and every time a hot air balloon fell, every time an Air Force soldier fell, it was like a stab in Charlotte's heart.

For this new type of troops, she has exhausted her most precious years,

Now I can only watch in despair as the talents that have been cultivated with great difficulty wither one by one.

Years of hard work have been burned, and hope in my heart is getting slimmer.

"It's a pity that the Imperial Air Force, the youngest soldier, is about to be wiped out, so let's bury it together."

Neule spat out a puff of smoke: "Annihilation? Don't be so pessimistic, Colonel, there are still a lot of people who are insisting. ”

From a distance, there were still twenty or thirty hot air balloons that survived the attack, and the shooters in the pods took turns shooting at the bat monster without the slightest intention of giving up.

Seeing an enemy approaching, Neulai bent down and picked up the rifle from Scarlett's corpse, and when he found that it was loaded, he aimed and shot directly, but unfortunately missed.

"! Your Majesty is right, my garbage gun is really hopeless! Then he continued to reload with a cigarette in his mouth.

The Count's optimism awakened Charlotte,

(Rather than sink in despair, kill more enemies before they are destroyed, as Valstad's famous Jiangyang thief Qasim said, killing one is enough to make money, killing two is earning.) ）

Charlotte picked up a rifle, and each pull of the trigger was equivalent to avenging her sister, and she became more and more courageous, and she was completely out of the woods.

A mad bat monster crashes directly into a burning hot air balloon, and instead of a wizard rides on its back, it is another small monster.

The two of them shot at the same time, one of the bullets blew the bat's head, and the little monster on its back jumped into the pod with a whoosh, the guy was strong and agile, and Charlotte was knocked unconscious.

Neule was stung in the leg by a stinger, and he stabbed him through the heart before he could get the poison.

"Colonel! Wake up! ”

No matter how much he called, Charlotte still closed her eyes. Soon, the power of the venom was revealed, and Neulai's leg muscles began to twitch uncontrollably.

He sat down in the pod, took off his shirt, and whipped the flames that were approaching Charlotte, even if he was on fire.

At this moment, another small monster jumped from the bat's back into the pod, waving its claws and stingers at the two of them.

"Colonel, I will protect you until the last moment."

Neule sat on his knees, shielding Charlotte with his body and saber:

"Come on, son of a bitch! Come and practice with you! ”

The toxin quickly spread throughout his body, his palms were weak, and he couldn't even hold the hilt, and the saber fell.

In despair, a tall, masked man tumbled into the pod and struck his foe in the head with a swift blow, causing it to scream.

The man picked up Neulai's saber and slashed it in half, splitting the little monster's sturdy body in half.

This was obviously not the power that an extraordinary man could attain, and Neule thought to himself:

(Your Majesty...... You're here to save us? ）

The masked man apparently possessed some sort of sensory ability, quickly discerning between living and corpses, taking off his cloak and slapping the flames on Neule and Charlotte.

With amazing strength, like lifting two kittens, he lifted the two of them one by one.

Neulei felt himself flying, and quickly landed, only to be thrown into the pod of another hot air balloon, and an Imperial Air Force soldier crouched down to examine their wounds.

The masked man borrowed a knife, rolled up his sleeve to reveal his snow-white arm, and slashed it down, and blue blood dripped onto Neulai's wound.

"No...... Your Majesty, I don't deserve it from you...... Stop ......"

"Please lie flat and don't move." The masked man's voice was as beautiful as a silver bell: "My blood can detoxify, I hope it's still too late." ”

Neule was dizzy, struggled, and said in a daze:

"Your Majesty, why has your voice become younger...... Broken hands and broken feet have also grown...... Is this a dream? ”

The masked man removes his mask and hood, revealing a doll-like face:

"You're stupid, Uncle Neulai, you can admit that you're wrong."

"Little ...... Xiao Ai? What happened to Colonel Charlotte...... Is she still alive?"

"The Colonel just fainted, you still worry about yourself."
