Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Orfina didn't disturb the thinking of the two, and manipulated Rogge's hand to grab the strawberry and put it in his mouth.

While mechanically repeating the action of grasping and putting down, Rogge pondered the possibility that the conductor was just playing, and did not care about the life or death of the monster.

For a while, only the "buzzing" sound of the demonic beast hitting the protective shield above his head, and the sound of the little girl's mouth chirping, the two were surprisingly harmonious.

After a while, Rogge was the first to speak, "Nana's words make sense, but I feel that the commander may have another purpose. ”

Filia took over, "These reasons are not conflicting, they may exist at the same time, anyway, there is indeed a problem with the operation of the flying demonic beast." Rogge, I'm going to tell Uncle Anderson about this and make everyone more vigilant. ”

"Okay."

"That's right." Filia paused and asked, "Will there be a problem with us using the anomalous core to provide energy to the shield?" ”

Rogge replied, "Probably not, if there is a problem, it has already appeared." Dean and Nana's previous research showed that anomalous cores are generally no different from normal cores, and we speculated at the time that they might need to be activated, but now it seems that activation is conditional, at least at a distance. ”

"Anyway, if that commander could use the anomalous core, he would have done it a long time ago." Orfina concluded.

"Yes, if the commander can disable the anomalous core, Holker City has already fallen at this moment, there is no reason for him not to use it, the only explanation is that he can't do it." Rogge Dao.

"Well, indeed. Then I'll go first. Felia walked out of the hut.

……

Thunder and lightning frequently burst in the sky, and it was Lei Yin and Madeleine who were still harassing the horde of demonic beasts.

Everyone was well fed and rested, and Madeleine was still fighting, which made Orfina feel a little guilty.

Canstar is also outside the shield.

During the time when Orfina repaired the shield, Canstar fought bloodily to the end, and lost the best time to return to the city.

Canxing simply didn't return to the city, and fought guerrilla with Lei Yin. The company of two spirit king-level spirit beasts greatly improved the safety.

Rogge wasn't worried about Canxing's safety, he was afraid that it would use too much force.

If you want to fight the poisonous spotted wood dragon, the current strongest Canxing has to be the main force.

Elena returned to the core cylinder after eating, staring at the energy converter herself, adding magic cores from time to time.

It's a simple but boring job, but Elena is meticulous and very serious.

The girl was still a lovely duck sitting, and the flickering fire shone on the side of her face, making her eyes more beautiful.

Granne, who turned into a follower, couldn't help but look stupid, squatting beside Elena, just watching her work, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

There was a soft snoring in his arms, and Rogge smiled slightly, and pulled out half of the strawberry in Ofina's hand and put it in his mouth, which was very sweet.

The girl said that she was not tired, but she was the one who contributed the most out of everyone, and her physical strength had long been used up. After replenishing the backlash of the angel's arrival, I persevered for a while, and soon fell asleep.

Rog wasn't too sleepy, thinking about what he was going to do next and the dangers he would face.

……

The first rays of the morning sun illuminated the land, but did not shine into the hearts of the soldiers of the city defense of Holke.

The group of monsters overhead has not decreased, and they are still "bombarding indiscriminately" against the protective shield.

However, as long as there was the small figure next to the cylindrical core, the warriors were convinced that the protective shield would not be broken.

The mess on the ground of the city has been cleaned up with the cooperation of the military and the people, and if it weren't for the slight traces of blood, it seems as if yesterday's hellscape never existed.

Rogge didn't participate in cleaning up the battlefield, he just put away the corpse of the leader of the Bladed Demon Locust, and those two pairs of blade-like wings were not inferior to the best materials of the Sky Wolf Demon Spider Legs.

Rogge took a nap and just woke up, handed Orfina in his arms to Philia, and using the levitation technique, flew out of the loophole in the roof.

He hovered in mid-air, holding in his hand the arcane device he had bought in the Spirit Summoning Sacred Realm to observe things in the distance, looking for traces of the Poison Spotted Wood Dragon.

Soon, Rogge found it.

On the dead wood-like body of the Poison Spotted Wood Dragon, the wound was no longer visible from the part that had been cut by Orfina yesterday, but the skin there was more colorful, like the bark of a newly grown tree.

Rogge adjusted the device and looked at the commander, shocked.

The conductor was a familiar face, and he actually knew him.

This "person" is dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes, with long black and brown hair flying in the air, and her face is covered with heavy makeup. Wind

Even when he looked up, Rogge could see that the neckline of the aristocratic dress was low, and he remembered that when he first saw her, he spat out a rainbow on the peaks and ravines.

She was Durucco's dance partner at the Academy's orientation party, Mademoiselle Josephine.

How could it be her? Rogge was secretly frightened.

This Josephine, who had also seen Rogge in the academy a few times after returning from the Spirit Beast Secret Garden, did not expect her to have an affair with a demon.

After returning from the Secret Garden, Filia ordered Myron, a knight loyal to her, to secretly investigate all the people in the academy who were related to Durucco, and Josephine was one of the key figures, and found nothing unusual at the time.

Could it be that she has only recently been linked to the Alien Demon? A person's name instantly popped into Rogge's mind, but he was still a little puzzled.

Rogge didn't know much about Josephine, and he had the impression that she was a typical aristocratic woman, who loved vanity, liked to compare, and was a little clever but not wise.

At this moment, Rogge saw Josephine's black and red eyes staring at him, with a sly smile on his face. Josephine had a strange expression of hatred and excitement at the sight of her prey.

On weekdays, Josephine wants to eat him alive when he sees Rogge, and Rogge can understand it, after all, he vomited her all over at that time, making her seduction plan fail. What happened to her and Duruco later Rogge did not know the details, only that she was abused.

Josephine blamed him, and Rogge reluctantly confessed.

But today, Rogge always felt that Josephine was no longer just Josephine, her expression was both strange and familiar.

The strange thing is that Josephine has not been excited about him, what is familiar is that the look in her eyes Rogue seems to have seen it.

Suddenly, Josephine's lips moved.

The lips were bright red to a little scarlet, and a long, slender tongue that seemed to be a little overdone licked around the lips, like a jackal about to eat.

Josephine said a word, and Rogge looked at the lip shape, which should be: "Meet again." ”

Then she laughed again, and the smile went from normal to exaggerated, until finally frozen to the point of strange distortion, not a human laugh.

For a moment, Rogge knew who she really was.

……

Next to the core column, Anderson was vigilantly on guard.

Yesterday he ordered that no one should approach the core column, in order to beware of the demonization of soldiers similar to Garin City.

It happened anyway.

This morning, a warrior fired a crossbow arrow at Elena under the astonished gaze of his companion, and Anderson, who was hiding in the shadows, rescued her in time and killed the warrior before he blew himself up.

Since then, Anderson hasn't left the core cylinder for half a step.

To be on the safe side, Orfina checks the energy converter, accompanied by Rogge and Philia.

Rogge told everyone what he had discovered.

"What? The conductor is Josephine? Anderson's eyes widened in surprise.

"To be exact, Josephine is no longer the Josephine he used to be. Filia, do you remember when you slew the Shark Demon Leader? I'm sure that's what Josephine is now. Rogge said.

Filia was silent for a moment and said, "In this way, the speculation about the possession of the demon has been confirmed, and if you kill the possessed object, the possessed person will not die." ”

"Our opponent is a real demon." Roger paused and said, "But I feel that Josephine's consciousness has not disappeared, they are more like a ...... at the moment Symbiotic relationship. ”

"Why?"

"Because she hates me very much, but the alien leader was killed by you, and it shouldn't hate me."

Filia nodded, agreeing with Rogge.

Anderson stroked his beard, "So according to your analysis last night, Josephine's target was Rog?" This...... The pattern is too small, right? ”

"The first goal is definitely not." Orfina checked the energy converter to make sure it was correct, and joined the discussion, "We only came yesterday. ”

"Yes." Rogge said, "Josephine...... Or that the first goal of the alien demon must be to cause chaos in the empire, and there must be a deeper purpose. ”

There are three kinds of purposes for this purpose:"

"First, the demons want to destroy the empire."

"Second, what the demons want to hide with the help of chaos."

"Third, what the demons want to find with the help of chaos."

"Our reality was an accident, Josephine hated me, the demons took Filia as a prey, Nana hindered its movement yesterday and wounded the venom-spotted dragon. And I have something that the demons want. ”

"That's why the alien demons can't break through the protective shield, and they don't lead the demonic beasts to leave."

"What do you have?" Anderson asked.

Rogge told Anderson about Sonya.

"Rogge's analysis is very reasonable, in this case, we must not let our guard down, we must hold on until the arrival of support. From now on, you and I will stay here to make sure that the core cylinder is foolproof. ”

"Understood." Everyone agreed in unison.

……

The sun sets and the moon rises, the twilight is four, and the whole day is uneventful, and the monster herd has not left.

This is the most dangerous night, and as long as you survive tonight, reinforcement will arrive, and it will be impossible for the hordes to breach Holker City again.

Anderson asks everyone to keep their eyes open, their spirits lifted, and be ready to fight.

Minutes and seconds passed, from late night to early morning, the sun was about to rise, the shield was still strong, and the magic core had plenty of room left.

The mood of the warriors is getting more and more relaxed, and Rog is getting more and more nervous, and the blue fire bow is already in hand, ready to shoot at any time.

The demon who possessed the leader of the shark demon, although he had not been in contact for a long time, Rogge could see how bad his personality was.

It is brutal and cruel, and takes pleasure in torturing human beings.

Physical torture is direct but low-level, giving hope, and then dragging them into the abyss when they see the light is the most brilliant torture.

Now, it's the time of hope, and Rogge believes that if the alien still has hole cards, he will use them at this moment.

As he expected, a sudden change occurred.
