168: 閃烈なる蒼光
Receiving Nolan's orders, Yuna stepped into the training room.
With her left hand, she removed the white raven mask from her waist and put it on, then pressed the switch in the suitcase with her right hand.
With a "click", the suitcase fell to the ground and was completely spread out, from which the silver-gray compressed Valkyrie armament inside could be seen.
Yuna unbuttoned her neckline, loosened her skirt, and took off her maid jacket in a chic manner, revealing the close-fitting white combat uniform inside.
It is a swimsuit-like bodysuit that exposes the shoulders and arms, and the bottom reaches the thighs, revealing the white thighs and black over-the-knee socks.
She stooped to untie her Mary Jane shoes and tread her over-the-knee socks into the open suitcase.
It wasn't something to step on, Valkyrie's gear parts were fixed wherever they were in her suitcase, and the place she stepped on was exactly where the flight boots were stored.
After injecting the magic to activate the memory metal, the next moment, the silver-gray armor quickly spread from the soles of her feet, spreading to her ankles, calves, and knees, and finally shaping into boots.
Then she reached out, and the rest of the suitcase was removed to form her handguards and jetpack components.
In addition to these main parts, the secret compartment in the chest also contained a short sword made of demon-breaking silver iron.
Yuna took it out and hung it on either side of her waist along with the Sun Knight Sword she had with her.
In this way, without the help of others, the Valkyrie Avalanche made of memory metal was quickly replaced.
In fact, if you don't take off your coat, this speed can theoretically be faster.
However, considering that there was still plenty of time to prepare this time, I chose the most convenient way to attack.
Activating the card pendant on her chest to mentally resonate with the equipment, Yuna looked towards the corner of the maintenance room and stretched out her hand in that direction.
The avalanche-type winged flight component was stored there, which automatically activated when summoned by the mind, flew towards Yuna, and successfully docked with the backpack behind her.
She dragged her life-tall winged flight assembly to the weapon rack, looked at the dazzling array of weapons in front of her, and asked Nolan:
"What weapons are you going to bring this time?"
"Our main enemy is the Aeolus forces of Shattered Star City, so let's use our assault equipment."
Nolan replied, "That being said, your mission is not to kill the enemies, but to break into Flamel and get in touch with them, so don't dwell on them for too long.
"Understood." Yuna took the glass shield and steel spike from the weapon rack and walked out of the maintenance room.
Arrive at the bow to rendezvous with Nolan, who is on orders with Team Bryant.
"The Crow's Nest and Bryant Squad will escort you and help you break into Flammel."
Seeing her coming, Nolan handed over a gray raven mask, "When you meet Bach, give him this mask so that I can communicate with him directly." ”
Yuna hung the mask around her waist, and at that moment, Reinhardt's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"If necessary, I can help you hold back the Aeolus troops in Shattered Star City."
Reinhardt and Rosalia approached, their griffons stamping on the bridge and chirping loudly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's not yet time for your excellency to make a move."
Noren looked at Flamel, only to see a few figures faintly passing in the night sky in that direction.
It was a patrol of the Aeolian Force, and the Crow's Nest had caught their attention as it approached the front line.
At this time, they were quietly following the retreating Crow's Nest under the cover of night, as if they wanted to find out the details of this big creature and the location of its landing.
However, under the detection of drones, their whereabouts have long been under Nolen's control.
"Team Bryant, your mission is to escort the White Raven to Flamell."
He turned his head and asked, "This time it's a real battle, are you ready?" ”
"Ready." Bryant muttered, he and his squad were fully armed.
"Go ahead, and I'll share the enemy's locations with you along the way."
Nolan said, bowing slightly at Yuna.
Yuna noticed, and the winged flight assembly behind her unfolded.
"Yuna Askar, White Raven, Valkyrie with Avalanche, go."
She silently said to herself, and the cyan circle spread out under her feet and back, and the next moment it soared into the air and flew in the direction of Flammel.
By this time it was already dark, the ground was shrouded in night, and visibility was significantly reduced.
Only in the distance were the faint light of Flamel and the Tower of Flamel, signposts in the darkness of the night.
Equally obvious in her view is the figure of a team of Fengshen marked by drones in front and below.
The straight-line distance between the two sides is about 500 meters, which is a distance that is difficult to detect with the naked eye at night.
However, at the same time that Yuna locked on them, the Anemo team immediately changed formation, and it seems that they also have the means to detect their opponents without relying on the naked eye.
It's better to say that as wind mages, relying on the fluctuations of the wind to find enemies from a long distance is their specialty.
"The Wind of Insight has spotted the enemy, and the target is approaching in the direction of Flammel!"
The leader of the Wind God Team is a seventh-order wind mage, and he gives orders to the team members through the "Sound Transmission Wind Field".
"Did you actually use flying alchemy equipment in a vain attempt to smuggle in...... Oh, it's kind of interesting, but it's a pity that I met our Fengshen troops.
"The order from above is not to allow anyone to enter or leave Flammel, stop her, and if she resists, kill her!"
"Yes!"
The remaining five members of the Anemo team dispersed under the cover of the night, and then aimed at Yuna to cast spells.
A large amount of wind elementals began to gather in their hands, but the strange thing was that the casting process did not cause significant elemental fluctuations and changes in wind direction.
Combined with the natural camouflage of the night, all six of them turned into hidden snipers lurking in the shadows.
"Sixth-order wind spell 'Dead Silence Shot'......" Yuna knew in her heart.
This is the signature wind spell of the Grimni family in Shattered Star City, and it is characterized by being extremely stealthy when casting spells, so that people will not easily detect it.
When she was in Flamel before, there was a wind mage who tried to use this kind of sneak attack on the Peak Messenger Regiment, but she could see it clearly from the sidelines.
Now the person who was sneak attacked was replaced by her, but this time with the help of Nolan's drone, she can still counter the sneak attack of the Fengshen team.
Moreover, she is not the only one who can see the movements of the Fengshen team, but the Bryant team that follows closely behind also shares the vision of the drone.
Before the dead silence could shoot, the Bryant squad had already fired their beam snipers onto their respective targets.
I saw that six circles of white and bright light arrays unfolded behind Yuna, and in the next moment, six beams of destruction pierced the night sky and came straight towards the six members of the Wind God team!
"What!?"
Unexpectedly, the mantis catching cicada and yellow finch were behind, and the captain of the Fengshen team was taken aback.
Because of the interval between departures and the different dynamics of the jetpack, Team Bryant hangs behind Yuna and is not detected by the Wind of Discovery.
And by the time the Bryant team's cannon opened its light array and opened fire on them first, it was already a little too late to react.
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
"Whew-"
The members of the Fengshen team were concentrating on casting spells, and their awareness of defense at this time was the lowest, and they were caught off guard by the sneak attack of the destruction beam, and in an instant, three people melted into the torrent of light elements.
Only the captain of the seventh-order squad reacted in time, and quickly interrupted the spell casting and flashed to the side, which dodged a catastrophe.
And the other two survivors were not because they dodged, but at a distance of about 800 meters and under the conditions of volley shooting, two of Bryant's squad had a slight deviation in their shooting.
The two beams of destruction nearly passed by the members of the Anemo team, allowing them to escape.
But Rao was like this, which also frightened the two of them into a daze, and the dead silence shot that was being aimed came out of his hand, and he didn't know which horn it had shot into.
"Confirm hit target."
"Confirm hit target."
"Confirm hit target."
The good news of his teammates came one after another in the communication channel, and the rest of the people who missed the hand reported a little nervously:
"I'm sorry, Captain, I ......"
"It's okay, half of the enemy's combat power has been lost, everyone is doing a good job." Bryant reassured.
This escort mission is the first actual combat of their team, and the conditions are relatively harsh, so it is reasonable for someone to make mistakes.
And he missed, but it wasn't like he missed the shot.
Because he is aiming at the one that shows the strongest in the drone detection, it should be the captain of the enemy.
The seventh-order mage was still experienced in combat, and the moment he opened the circle at the muzzle of his cannon, he immediately evaded it, and he was able to dodge the shot of the destructive beam.
He immediately continued to order: "We have already played a numerical advantage, continue to fly forward to suppress, and we must not let them interfere with Lord White Raven's mission!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone's hearts perked up and rushed towards the Fengshen team.
"Captain, enemy attack! There is more than one that can fly! ”
Seeing the three colleagues fall in a blink of an eye, and they also walked in front of the ghost gate, the members of the Fengshen team only felt cold sweat, and even their teeth were chattering.
"How can this be......" The captain of the Fengshen team also looked ugly.
It's so dark, how can the other party accurately lock on to themselves at such a distance?
The most common detection spell is the wind-based "Wind of Discovery", is there also a wind-based mage in the opposing team?
It's not right, if the other party is using a wind spell, with the sensitivity of all their wind mages to the wind element, they will definitely realize that they have been detected.
Could it be a more subtle soul detection spell......
Countless thoughts swirled through his mind, but after a moment's hesitation, Yuna broke through their defenses, and the Wingflight Component Five Acceleration Circle opened up in full swing, whizzing over their heads.
"Stop her first, no matter what!" Captain Fengshen came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted.
Team Bryant was still at a distance, and was a little out of touch with the people at the front because of a round of sniping on the spot.
If you go directly to chase that winged target at this time, even if they are now remnants, they can play a 3v1 scene in a short time!
As a veteran of the Anemo Force, he felt that he had undoubtedly made the right decision, and immediately chased after her, reaching out to her back, silently reciting the spell casting.
Yuna was ignoring the Anemo team and flying in the direction of Flamel when she suddenly felt her flight speed stagnate.
Under Captain Anemol's spell, a large number of wind elementals gathered behind her, and they continued to compress and rotate in the air, eventually forming a cyan to black tornado.
Seventh-Order Wind Spell "Green Devouring Serpent": Creates a tornado that continuously attracts surrounding objects, and its furious wind elemental grinds enemies into powder.
At the same time, the other two members of the Anemo team were also casting spells on her.
Countless wind blades flew towards Yuna, and these dense wind blades completely enveloped the airspace, blocking all of her dodge routes.
"It's really troublesome...... "I didn't expect the enemy to be so ghostly, Yuna's gaze darkened.
Due to the effect of the "Green Devouring Snake", Valkyrie's flight speed has slowed down, and he can no longer escape the pursuit of the Anemo team.
However, this problem is not without a solution.
As long as the spell "Gentle Shield" on the winged flight component is opened, its all-round shield can not only defend her against attacks, but also block the effects of external spells to a considerable extent.
That way, she was able to drive the jetpack again, distancing herself from Aeolus and the cyan tornado.
It's just that everyone is riding on their faces, and it's not their own style to run away without a fight.
In particular, the seventh-order wind mage led by him is also considered a powerful combat power of the enemy, and if he can easily kill him, it is equivalent to solving a big trouble for his allies.
Since you insist on fighting and seeking death, then I will ...... Fulfillment, right?
The next moment, the green snake that was getting closer and closer swept Yuna in the air into it, and countless wind blades followed, striking with a sharp whistling sound.
"Got it!"
Feeling that the spell had indeed hit the target, the leader of the Aeolian team smiled evilly.
The Aeolus squad is a rare opponent in air combat, and even if there is an occasional accident, it will definitely cost the enemy dearly!
His smile quickly froze, though.
After the violent wind blade storm tore apart, the green snake gradually dissipated, revealing the winged figure in the air.
The shield in her hand turned glass-colored at some point, and she was wrapped in the rainbow-colored shield of the shield, and she didn't take any damage from the storm.
"How is that possible!"
The leader of the Wind God team lost his voice and said, "What kind of shield is this, which can actually be unscathed under the attack of seventh-order spells?" ”
And what answered them was a circle of blue-purple magic circles spread out by the glass shield in her hand.
"Whew-"
The thunder elements in the air converged on the glass shield under the guidance of magic power, and formed a cyan pillar of light at the tip of the shield.
Countless arcs of lightning pulsed across the surface of the shield, and the pillar of light quickly thickened and lengthened until it condensed into a huge cyan blade nearly fifty meters long.
The glass shield is fully charged, and the seventh-order spell "Sword of Thor" unfolds.
"Don't worry, it won't be long." She whispered softly, as if to explain to someone.
"In an instant...... It will be over! ”
The words fell, in the horrified gaze of the Aeolian team.
She swung Thor's sword at them, her massive lightsaber slicing through the air.
It was like a shining light that split the night in two.
