ACT081: First Night at the Border

In an unused warehouse on the outskirts of Hitchgannes, Lytis counts the supplies and equipment she has prepared for the operation. In order to quietly transport these things out of the city, she and Wendy went to great lengths for fear of being discovered by her grandfather, Edward. Fortunately, the old man was staying in the presidential palace for a meeting at this moment, and the rest of the family was also busy transferring the property in advance, so her small actions on her side did not attract the attention of others.

"Lytis, maybe we can go to Uncle Eddie for help, he's ...... after all"

"Wendy, if he knows about our plan, he will definitely stop us, and then arrest you and me and send it to Grandpa, and then we will not have another chance. ”

Without any official support, Lytis had to find a way to go it alone. In addition to Wendy, who is always on her side, she also enlists the help of people like Weiss who have some strength and a simple background. Of course, she didn't know that she had accidentally hired a powerful demon.

Lytis's actions made Eras feel that this little human girl was very interesting, so he planned to take advantage of his time in the mortal world to help them a little. The reason why demons have the word "evil" in their names is because they often act as "thugs" for the gods, and their surnames have nothing to do with "evil".

"I know, you think I'm doing it right now, but if I do nothing and just run away and watch everything happen, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"But I still don't think you should have carried such a big thing down by yourself......"

"How can it be alone, isn't it Wendy, you? You said you would always be on my side. ”

"Yes, I will always be on your side. ”

Looking at Litis who winked at her playfully, Wendy showed a rare smile on her face, and then reached out and touched the other party's head like a sister doting on her sister, and Lytis took the opportunity to lean up and wrap her arms around Wendy's waist, and then put her face on the other party's plump chest, showing a very enjoyable expression. But at this moment, the door of the warehouse suddenly opened, and Weiss was just about to raise his feet to come in outside the door, so he fixed there, and then made a half-noise, silently preparing to close the door.

"Sorry to interrupt. ”

The ambiguous posture of the two obviously made Weiss misunderstand something, but from the visual perspective of a man's surname, it is far better to bump into the lily blossom than to run into the sentimental one, although he is a little disappointed in his heart, but at least he is not blind to the dog's eye.

"Wright, why don't you go in? We shouldn't be wrong, right?"

Seeing Weiss's strange reaction, Ling Lan looked at the door number on the side, and was sure that they had not made a mistake, while Lena stepped forward directly and kicked the door open, and found that there were only two people inside, Lytis and Wendy, with a small wooden table in between, and their faces did not seem to be very natural, so she turned her head and asked Weiss.

"Weiss, what did you just see?"

"Uh...... Dazzled, I thought it wasn't them. ”

Hiding his embarrassment slightly, Weiss walked into the warehouse with his companions. Lytis gritted her teeth and glared at him, eager to explain the situation right away, so that this thing would not be foolish, let alone spread some strange rumors, but because there were other people present, she had to use her eyes to suggest that Weiss shut up.

"Everything is in the car, let's go!"

The group got into a large modified truck, driven by Eras (a fan) who offered to drive it, and drove away from the warehouse. Soon after they left, a figure emerged in the grove near the warehouse, and the other party glanced at the truck heading east, jumped on a motorcycle, and followed......

Because it is a stealthy operation, and the main purpose is to eliminate the anomaly points at a fixed point, the short and capable team is more suitable for this operation. Along the way, the truck relied on the "special pass" obtained by Litis and pretended to be a special force transporting classified equipment. Don't look at Weiss, they are all very young, but as long as they show their chess pieces and real documents (except for photos), no one dares to intercept their truck.

"If all goes well, we'll get to the border in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and we'll have to change to the buggy in the car for the second half of the day. I replaced the powertrain of those two cars with an air-pressure engine, which can be driven by the stored gas in the high-pressure tank. Because they are not conductive devices, they are not affected by Mana Storm. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so well prepared, wouldn't you have already prepared for a rainy day?"

"How is that possible! The engine is not specially prepared for this situation. More than 300 years ago, the dwarves made a kind of pneumatic drive car, because of the complex process, so the production is very small, these two are I dismantled from the two antique cars that my grandfather treasured, I hope he will not be angry when he knows. ”

β€œ......”

Looking at Litis who was smiling like a little fox, Weiss sincerely sympathized with Mr. Edward in his heart.

On the way east, you can see the endless convoy of trucks, the stage evacuation plan of the political axe is rapidly evacuating people from the outermost stage, all the vehicles and drivers that can move are forcibly requisitioned by the political axe, and the airships and sea are also being used. But even so, the speed of the transfer is still much slower than the spread of the mana storm, and the large number of monsters is also a sign that the storm has entered its second phase. The army can only use the bayonets on the rifle to attack the opponent's various berserk mutant creatures when the equipment is good and bad, and many soldiers are beginning to ask for broadswords and spears.

The truck entered the central part of the GΓΆring province the next night and was unable to continue because of the congestion on the road. It is less than 300 kilometers away from the border line controlled by the Wehrmacht, and some people already know that the border is not the emperor [***], but a group of terrible monsters, so there is some chaos. The only good thing is that the people don't have to be forced, and they can take the initiative to run to the west on their own!

"Don't take the road, let's go around from the wilderness!"

Seeing that the situation on the road was so bad, Weiss motioned to Erras, who was driving, to drive the truck to the grass outside the road and continue to move on, and then he suddenly remembered the girls sitting in the back compartment, so he hurriedly dodged and got behind him, reminding the girls to secure themselves and sit with them. And then ...... He will be able to enjoy the "beautiful scenery" that jumps!

The ground with the pit is amazing!

At about 10 p.m., the truck finally found an empty village and was ready to spend the night here. After getting out of the car, Weiss took a look around with a flashlight, and found that this place was a little familiar, so he opened the map and glanced at the place name on it, it turned out that this was the Songmu Village they had been to, but at this time the villagers had all evacuated.

"The concentration of mana here is 4.3 times that of Hitchganas, it should already be the edge of the mana storm, I didn't expect it to spread so quickly! ”

"Don't worry, the monsters that just appeared in the second stage are not very strong. Eras, who hid his identity, said with a relaxed face, so that Wendy and Lytis didn't understand where this middle-aged "knight" got so much confidence.

"Hey, Whitehair, you can't be a military follower, are you?" asked Lytis in a whisper.

His words...... All I can say is strong, stronger than you and I think. Besides, I don't call me Whitehair, so it's okay to call me Weiss at will, right?"

"Alright then, Weiss, please answer me honestly, are you really just a nobody from Nanfengzhou?"

The reason why Lytis found Weiss and them is that these people have a simple background and have a certain strength of their own. She didn't dare to find those "big league teams" with the support of chaebol forces behind her, nor did she plan to go to the talent market to hire those third-rate people who couldn't get on the table, and the school's special enrollment had been recruited by the military in advance, and only Wendy stayed with Lytis because she was the adopted daughter of the Elric family.

In a sense, Weiss and the others were the most suitable candidates she could find, but after two days of close observation on the road, Lytis found that the person she was looking for was really "suitable" and a little too much! Don't look at this is a team of 5 people, but the people in the team are not weak, especially that Eras, her intuition tells her that this person's strength is unfathomable! As a civilian, it is not unusual for Weiss to be able to get the Black King, but it is very noteworthy to have such a master under his hands.

"I am indeed a commoner, and even poorer, to put it mildly, a companion whom I have met in the course of my adventures, and as for Eras...... His situation is indeed a bit complicated, you just need to know that I can't keep this great god. In addition, I vouch for my personality that I want to help you from the bottom of my heart. ”

β€œ...... I believe you, but please remember what you said now. ”

Park the truck in front of a tavern and unload the off-road vehicle for tomorrow. The mana concentration and living life here are constantly rising, and it will be very dangerous to continue to use the power channeling device, and even their weapons have been replaced with high-hardness ordinary goods.

Because the villagers were in a hurry, the beds in the tavern's rooms were not taken, and the girls were able to sleep under decent bedding, while Weiss and Eras were on duty on the first floor as night watchmen.

In the second half of the night, the increasing concentration of magic around him made people with low affinity like Weiss gradually begin to sense the existence of magic power, which made him can't help but see the hunting heart, and want to try the feeling of being a magician. So he tried to concentrate as the book says, and Eras snapped his fingers in his ear, interrupting his meditation.

"Don't die! This kind of environment even veterans have to be mentally minded, you rookie who has never learned magic at all, want to go straight to the devil?"

"I've heard that even ordinary people can drive magic in this environment, so I can't help but want to try it. ”

"Being able to drive and being able to use are two different things, everyone can pull the trigger, but is the gun that everyone can shoot?"

"It depends on what kind of gun it is......"

"Forget it, you know remember not to mess with the magic. Also, please go upstairs and wake up the little girls, we seem to have a 'guest'!" )
