Chapter 16: In Blood and Fire

The order was ruthless.

It was clear that he didn't take Andrea's life seriously.

She felt like a rag that someone could throw away when she ran out.

All kinds of emotions came to my heart.

irritability, depression, madness, hatred, regret......

She was really disgusted by the order.

But can Andrea refuse?

No!

She has been trapped in it, unable to extricate herself, and can only watch herself being forced into the abyss step by step.

"Cologne, let's hurry up."

Andrea took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and said in as calm a tone as she could.

She wanted to end it as soon as possible.

Just have a result.

No matter what your fate is, at least you don't have to be as anxious and worried as you are now.

"Okay."

Dalton opened the way with his head in front of him, and when he answered, he didn't even look back.

In the past, every time he talked to Andrea, no matter what he was doing, he would keep his eyes on Andrea's face.

Instead of not even looking at it, as it is now.

Andrea was so preoccupied that she didn't even notice it.

The feelings and relationships between people are gradually worn out, cold, and finally become extremely stiff in such little details, under such neglect again and again.

It's like a stranger you've never known, you've never known.

Dalton was already a little unrecognizable and couldn't tell whether the person behind him was Andrea he knew.

That innocent, innocent, kind, beautiful little girl with an incomparable bright smile.

sighed softly in his heart, and his emotions were extremely complicated.

Shaking his head, Dalton put aside the distractions and stopped thinking about Andrea.

He shifted his attention and left the big guy on the road, and recalled the hints he had left for him, repeatedly determining what to do next.

The information left by the big guy was not hidden, and he bluntly said that it would be more dangerous to do so.

If he doesn't want to, he can quit, just keep it a secret.

But Dalton doesn't care if it's dangerous or not.

He just wants to make those who persecute Andrea not like Andrea to pay.

A raging rage burned in Dalton's chest.

The speed accelerated, and even the road was not opened, and when it encountered thorns and weeds, it directly crushed the past.

Andrea followed, and suddenly there was no good way to go, but she couldn't complain, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

No way, that's what she asked.

Soon, the two of them arrived near the col and stopped to observe.

The entrance to the col is narrow, and when you look inside, the hinterland is wide and open.

If you look down from the sky, the col in the night looks like a fierce beast that is about to devour people.

Those thatches that grew on flat ground, more than one person tall, and were as straight as a sword, were illuminated by the "moonlight", and the shadows were full of shadows, cold and gloomy.

The chilling atmosphere inside the Col is accentuated.

Maybe there was a ghost in his heart, standing at the mouth of the col and looking in, Andrea's legs and stomach trembled a little, and she didn't dare to go deep for a while.

"What's wrong with you?"

Hearing footsteps stop behind him, Dalton asked, turning his head.

It's almost time to reach your destination, so don't make a fuss at this time.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

Andreya's voice trembled slightly, and she quickly bit her lip, helping to restore her composure with a painful stimulus.

She raised her right hand, pulled the sideburns of her right ear, and inadvertently rubbed the front and back of the emerald to activate the function of transmitting voice messages.

At the same time, he asked, "Are you sure your big guy is here?" ”

Dalton shrugged his shoulders and said truthfully, "I'm not sure, but I think I'm here." That was the end of the trail he left behind, and he didn't go anywhere else. ”

"Really?"

Andrea looked into the col and said, "It's so big, it's so smooth, except for weeds and shrubs, there are no wild beasts, it's really a good place to rest and spend the night." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

Dalton echoed Andrea's words, "The big guy is the big guy, and the camp site is better than us." ”

As he spoke, he turned around, put his hands to his lips, made a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly at the mountain pass: "Big man, we have come to join you, begging for acceptance." ”

In terms of acting, the five brothers are not professional, but they are really not bad.

As a member of the Brothers, Dalton can be described as conscientious, and he still meticulously carries out his role even when he doesn't know what plot is being played out elsewhere.

Even if it's a one-man show, you can't drop the chain.

The shouts echoed through the col, but there was no answer.

"Could it be that you are not here?"

Dalton muttered to himself, then strode into the col and searched inside.

Andrea reluctantly followed, and walked along the flat ground in the col with Dalton, shouting the big guy one after another.

In the cave, Iris watched the scene with interest.

What?

You ask Dalton why he can't find the cave?

Iris. In order to better lurk, Clark waited for his role to play, but took out a mimic door panel from his small bag and blocked the hole.

Not to mention the naked eye, the reconnaissance witch weapon can't be found.

For the sake of having fun, for the sake of blowing up, Iris is willing to do anything.

It doesn't matter if you pay for your own dry food.

"Where are you hiding?"

To Iris's surprise, she didn't even find Link.

This guy is hiding so well.

Next time, be sure to play a game of hide and seek with this guy to see who can hide better.

Well, it was so happily decided.

Tracy. Rukia watched Dalton and Andrea spin in the col with cold eyes, and became more and more convinced of her instincts.

Link. Grande was definitely hiding somewhere in the col at the moment, ready to ambush them.

It should be estimated that it was exposed before the message was delivered during the day.

Link. The reason why Grande didn't get rid of Neiying in advance was that nine times out of ten, he wanted to lure them over and catch them all one by one.

Tracy. Rukia doesn't know Link. Where did Grande get her confidence, but the more so, the more careful she had to deal with it.

Think about it, Tracy. Rukia decided to start with a wave of firepower.

It's been exposed anyway.

"Let's go through a few rounds first."

She gave the order, her tone indifferent.

For wizard apprentices, the main role of 0-ring witchcraft is really to learn the rules of witchcraft and assist in research, rather than fighting.

In the highly developed wizarding world, almost all of the decisive battles between wizard apprentices are runic items and witch weapons.

In rare cases, such as when there are no magic stones, such as one-on-one ring battles with restrictions, such as running out of rune items and witch weapons, it is only by relying on 0 ring witchcraft to compete in it.

Tracy. Of course, Rukia would not have known that there was a very high probability of a trap in the col, and still looked into the grass with a hard face.

Naturally, the grass is beaten first to see if the snake can be frightened.

"Yes."

The six members of the "Pure-Blood Will" also did not take Dalton. Colon and Andrea. Norman's life was one thing.

Various accessories were taken out and assembled into individual weapons similar to mortars or grenadiers.

The two three-person teams have a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.

Responsible for the maintenance of bearings and coordinates of reconnaissance,

Responsible for the adjustment parameters of the firing,

Responsible for the supply of self-detonating fire mines for reloading.

"Fire!"

Tracy. Rukia gave the order, and the two trios exploded in a row, firing fire thunder at the col one after another, covering the bombardment.

One after another, self-detonating fire thunder roared through the night sky and fell into the mountain col.

Or explode in the air, or blow up on the ground.

"Hide."

Suddenly attacked, Dalton reacted quickly.

He ran to the bottom of the mountain, still reminding Andrea, who was stunned by the attack she launched without saying a word.

The explosions rumbled incessantly, and the flames burned.

The self-detonating fire thunder blasted two rounds, blasting out one crater after another.

Seeing that Andrea was still stunned and didn't move, Dalton couldn't help but be a little anxious.

The battle between heaven and man began in his mind.

To save, or not to save, this is a question.

After all, it was the friendship of the past that prevailed.

Having found a place to hide, Dalton couldn't hold back and turned and rushed towards Andrea, trying to drag her to safety.

"Cologne, don't come here."

Andrea heard another whistling sound overhead, and finally came back to her senses.

When she looked up, she saw a group of two self-detonating fire thunderbolts coming at her.

She knew the existence of the alchemical product that completely killed people here,

Her panic was far greater than that of Dalton.

Seeing Dalton desperately trying to save her, his heart suddenly ached, and tears rolled down uncontrollably, and he yelled wildly.

What a fool.

If she dies, she will die, after all, she did it herself.

I didn't want to get involved with Dalton.

However, it was too late for her to repent.

Dalton and the self-detonating fire thunder arrived at her side at the same time.

Boom.

In Andrea's intense remorse, two self-detonating fire thunderbolts exploded one after another.

Fortunately, Dalton held up the defensive shield of all the defensive rune items on his body in time, and resisted the explosion damage of the self-detonating fire thunder.

The two of them were not hurt except for their disgraced faces.

"Why are you so stupid?"

Dalton hurriedly ran out of the foot of the mountain with Andrea in his arms, shouting as he ran, "Don't you die there?" ”

Staggering, Andrea looked at Dalton who roared in anger, and big tears kept rolling down like broken pearls: "I'm sorry, Cologne. ”

The two of them ran together in their arms, and they couldn't get up fast.

At this time, the whistling sound came again, and the bombardment of self-detonating fire and thunder came in waves, without stopping at all.

If they continue to be entangled like this, neither of them will survive.

"Forgive me, Cologne!"

Andrea snapped up her resolve and murmured softly.

As the words fell, she wrenched Dalton's arms and pushed him aside to run in the other direction.

As she ran, she activated all the defensive rune items on her body.

Target Dalton and put on layer after layer of defense for him.

Even the water shield technique and the wooden shield technique, which were not very proficient, were used in time.

After doing this, Andrea raised her head and scolded at the bright "moon": "Stinky bitch, the old lady is gone!" Come on, you have the ability to kill me! ”

The successive oppression, persecution, and bombing without prior greeting have aroused Andrea's heart of resistance.

Dalton's recklessness completely catalyzed the spirit of resistance.

Andrea knew that she didn't have any way to fight back and retaliate, so she could only vent the anger in her heart.

"Tsk, stupid man."

Tracy. Rukia looked at this scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then ordered, "Fulfill her!" Targeting her, saturation bombing. ”

However, she still didn't use the "keychain" at all.

"Yes."

The six members of the Pureblood Will responded in unison.

In the course of the bombing, they assembled several more throwing pieces of equipment.

A single bombing round can now fire six self-detonating fire mines.

It's too late, it's too soon.

As the words fell, six self-detonating fire thunderbolts had been shot out, blasting above Andrea's head in an instant.

Dalton fell to the ground and struggled to get to his feet, trying to get Andrea back.

But she could only watch as she was bombarded by six self-detonating fire thunderbolts, and her figure was drowned in the flames and dust attached to the violent explosion.

By the time the dust had settled and the white light had fallen, Andrea's figure had disappeared.

All that remains is scattered flesh and limbs, crackling flames, and a disgusting smell of burnt.

The academy promises not to die, but it doesn't say that it guarantees not to be harmed!

"Uh~ah......"

Dalton let out a wounded beastly roar, but could do nothing,

You can only walk and climb, jump into a cave, and hide yourself.

Tracy. Rukia didn't bother with Dalton.

The purpose of the bombing was not to punish Nei Ying, nor to vent his anger, but to find Link who might be hiding in a corner of the col. Grande.

"Stop."

More than a dozen rounds of bombing have bombed almost all the places in the mountain cols that are convenient for Tibetans, as long as they can be taken into account.

But he still didn't see the target.

In this case, either she misjudged it, or she relied on defensive witchcraft to survive the explosion damage.

"Approaching for reconnaissance."

Tracy. Rukia has issued a new directive.

The two members in charge of reconnaissance immediately broke away from the battle, and each controlled the circular flying saucer and the bionic eagle, and conducted a thorough reconnaissance scan of the small mountain col from different directions, different heights, and multiple reconnaissance modes.

Dalton, huddled in a cave, was unsurprisingly found.

There is still no sign of the target.

"One group, two groups, cross alert, forward."

The bombing didn't surprise the target, and the reconnaissance didn't find the target. Rukia could only do what she didn't want to do.

Field searches.

There's really no way around it.

In this way, the side turns from darkness to light, losing an advantage.

The two trios were well trained and immediately ready for battle, one after the other, and marched towards the small col.

Link lies on his stomach at a distance from Tracy. A few dozen paces away, Rukia was buried in the dirt, covered in a special cloak.

In order to hide, he didn't even dare to fall on anyone in the afterglow of his gaze.

Not even the atmosphere dared to breathe.

Rely purely on eavesdropping to understand the enemy's arrangement and movements.

It was only when he heard the seven people set off one after another and headed for the small mountain pass that he exhaled softly.

People of "pure-blooded will" are not fools.

It's impossible for every move to match Link's expectations.

If you suspect fraud like this, the practice of blowing up a dozen rounds before saying it is beyond Link's expectations.

Link had just even mentally prepared for the failure of the ambush and was ready to activate the backup plan.

Quietly withdrew, without a fight.

Iris. Clark is so clever that he can act with a camera when he wants to.

Fortunately, the "pure-blooded" people were too resolute in killing him, knowing that it was a dangerous place, and they were reluctant, but they still had to go to investigate.

There is still a chance that the ambush plan will succeed.

After all, the place where the trap is buried is in the middle of the col, not the kind of horn suitable for burying traps in the general sense.

Moreover, in addition to the comprehensive stimulation of mental power and magic power, the delayed self-detonation fire thunder will not be affected by the explosion of other self-detonation fire thunder.

In the cave, Iris was in a bad mood when she saw the previous wave of bombardment, the whistling sound, and the splendid scene, but it was not caused by her.

Fortunately, it won't be long before she can blow up too.

Tracy. Rukia safely entered the col and, with a wave of her hand, sent both groups out to search.

She herself walked around the craters, scrutinizing the uneven ground.

With the topography of the mountain col, there are only two places where people can be hidden and ambushed.

Either a cave or an underground.

Tracy. Rukia was checking for excavations.

Link. Grande is a high-level affinity for both water and wood, and it is impossible to use earth witchcraft.

He wants to hide himself, lay traps, except for ready-made caves and potholes, he can only dig with his hands, and there will inevitably be traces.

Gradually, Tracey. Rukia circled around and walked to the central part of the flat, most flat area of the col.

"Report, no target found."

One group searched the left side of the col and found nothing.

"Report, no target found."

The second group will rebel but will soon be subdued by Dalton. Coren tossed it aside and stepped forward to report.

Perhaps the time came for all seven to gather in the middle of the flat ground.

"Good, good, good!"

Iris laughed wildly and didn't hesitate to detonate the trap.

The added version of the time-delayed self-detonation fire thunder, the ordinary time-delay self-detonation fire mine, including the big killer, is activated at the same time.

A deafening roar rang out.

Mushroom clouds evaporate and float.

It's silent.
