It turns out that those so-called "enemy ships" hidden near the archipelago are fakes. One of the oldest methods used to successfully deceive Icarus and the reconnaissance ships sent by the coalition fleet was to pull a large number of energy-emitting devices behind several small wrecked ships to disguise themselves as fleets and move underwater. However, after Francis decided to search the sea area thoroughly, the other party's little tricks naturally ended here.

Having determined that it was impossible to confront the coalition fleet, the enemy stationed there decisively chose to retreat. Even though there was no base here and only a small harbor, the other party still blew it up before leaving, which made Francis smile bitterly.

The bad weather showed no signs of improvement, so both reconnaissance of the archipelago area and landing surveys of medium-sized islands were carried out with captured submarines.

Angel and Poison Island were ordered to go to the island as escorts and the magic array experts in the fleet - Icarus was sent to reconnoiter farther away, and the dragons such as Tsukaya were responsible for the safety of the fleet, so this chorre was handed over to this pair of good friends.

Sailing below the surface of the sea is much smoother, with the tsunami above the mountains and the earth shattering the whole apocalyptic scene, and the underwater is just a bump, like a high-flying passenger plane will catch the air.

"It's 30 seconds before it surfaces!" Angel said loudly to the experts and the accompanying soldiers when the lights in the cabin came on, "If you don't want to turn into a rolling hoist later, sit back in your seat and fasten your seat belt now." Listen carefully, because the enemy blew up the harbor that was hiding in a hiding place. The submarine could only drop us off near the beach - note, I'm talking about the near beach, not on the beach. You see what I mean, right?"

"Luckily, it's not summer. The person sitting next to Anqi had a sighing expression on her face. "Otherwise, we will inevitably have to show off our benefits. ”

Hearing this, An Qi couldn't help but cover her forehead and said speechlessly: "Compared with Xiu Fu, what we should be more worried about now is whether someone will be swept away by the waves after getting off the boat, ......right?"

"Definitely not. Tsuiko immediately said to his friend seriously, "Even if all of us are swept up in the sky, the wind and waves will definitely not be able to take you." Because of the heavy armor and thick armor, you are an existence that sinks when you enter the water!"

"Don't talk about others as if they are another kind of Dinghai Shen Needle!"

The daily life of the two could not continue, and the light in the cabin suddenly went out, and then everyone only felt that they were at the scene of a violent earthquake in an instant. In the sifting of chaff, it was as if even the brains were about to squirt out of the nostrils. Fortunately, the tremors quickly subsided, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - and then collectively knocked their teeth hard, and a few unlucky people even bit their tongues.

The waves are bursts and bursts. Then the vibration generated by the submarine after being slapped by the waves is naturally one after another. The small warship slowly approached the island at the risk of running aground, and finally stopped more than 30 meters from the beach.

As Yanzi said, Angel is really an existence that sinks when she enters the water. Fortunately, the water here is not very deep, and it can barely show her head. This eliminates the need to use artificial gills. Others have learned by example. Immersed most of his body in the seawater, he walked forward. Although the cold waters in the winter are unpleasant, it is much better than being swept into the sky by a hurricane and acting as a kite and pretending to be a ninja.

"It's good, everyone has arrived safely. After landing on the beach, Angel carefully counted the number of people and nodded with satisfaction, "There is a small cave on the simple map drawn based on the reconnaissance of His Highness Icarus, and His Highness has carried the supplies we need there in advance before carrying out today's reconnaissance mission. Let's go to the cave and make a fire, dry our clothes, and then start researching. ”

The Girl Knight's proposal was unanimously approved: everyone who was drenched in the wind curled up and shivered, looking 100% ready to erect a classic flag that made the cute girl take the initiative to take care of the classic flag when she was sick in bed with a cold and fever......

I'm sorry. I didn't say anything.

After drying their clothes, the group soon went to the vicinity of the crater that Icarus blasted out of the previous battle against the elemental creatures and investigated the magic circle at its bottom. Of course, only those experts are really working. Others are either playing with their hands or simply playing soy sauce.

"The search of the entire island has ended and nothing unusual has been found. Led a small group of soldiers to search for possible enemies hiding on the island, and after completing his mission, he returned and reported to Angel, "It looks like the other side has indeed withdrawn." ”

"yes, that's good, at least we don't have to worry too much about spending the night on the island. Angel said, turning her head to look at a busy crater, "And then, it's their job." ”

Tsuiko leaned over to his friend and looked at the bottom of the pit and said, "How is it, has there been any progress during my absence?"

"I don't know, they haven't reported to me yet. An Qi put her eyes on the purple-haired royal sister beside her and said, "Why don't we ask after the two of us?"

Nod decisively.

When the two girls walked side by side, the head of the research team immediately greeted them: "Ah, Lord Angel, you have come just in time. I was just thinking of sending someone to report back to you. ”

"Did you find anything?"

The team leader pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained solemnly: "This magic array is very complicated, and there are many symbols in it that we have never even seen before. However, there are a few symbols that I have seen in ancient documents, which are demon characters. Therefore, nine times out of ten, this magic array was set up by the demons, as for what specific functions it has...... It's too short and it's too complicated for us to know. ”

An Qi was slightly shocked in her heart: "You said this is a magic array set up by the demons, can't it be an imitation of some guys with hot brains?"

"While there are such fanatics among the defunct Cult of the Damned, and even more so in the Dark Empire, they are humans and other native races of Drowlivan. The magic circle should also be designed in the style of Drowlivan. But this ...... To be honest, I just feel like I'm reading a book from heaven. The team leader rubbed his head and sighed.

Or maybe it's a Blue Star scientist deciphering the codes left by aliens or something, and there are often such blockbuster movies in Hollywood. Angel took two deep breaths and said, "Okay. I understand. Why did the demons set up a magic array in such a place, when did they set it up, and what is the function of the magic array? These are indeed very serious problems, but at present, the sea and air supremacy in the vicinity are all in the hands of the coalition forces, you can carefully investigate it without hurry, please. ”

"Of course, it's on us. ”

Anqi, who turned around and wanted to leave, suddenly stopped again: "By the way, ask." This magic circle can't be dangerous, right?"

"Danger? What kind of danger do you mean?"

"For example, if you have a self-detonation trap installed in it, if you open it in the wrong way, the whole island will be flattened or something?"

Under the cold sweat and embarrassed gaze of the group leader, Tsuneko immediately gave her friend a knife to the head lightly: "You've been by Elicia's side for too long!"

——————————————————The longer I stayed, the more undisciplined I became——————————————————

Buckell City, the first day of the new year. Although little business is expected. Uncle Parker's blacksmith shop still chose to go back on business as usual. Because in the words of the uncle, the blacksmith shop mainly deals in daily utensils, if it happens that someone's kitchen knife for cooking, scissors for clothes, and the knife used to save the world is broken, and the firewood knife used by the negative man is broken, and you want to buy a new one, won't it make others feel very troubled?

Uncle, your store is actually open to all kinds of cute girls, hey!?

"Hello!!" Alicia, who was sorting out the shelves in the store, suddenly sneezed hard for no apparent reason.

Michelle nearby asked with a concerned face, "What, Sister Ellie, do you have a cold?"

"Nope. Someone must have said something bad about me. The blonde girl sneezed several times before finally stopping. Rubbing his nose gently, he said, "Ah, could it be that Francis really listened to the fake message sent by Hannah, stupidly got into the enemy's trap and was beaten to the ground, and now he is loudly expressing a very strong desire to press me under him and snee, is it because I sneez? If you make it back alive, I'll definitely introduce you to a cute girl with a gentle personality! ”

"What's the fuss about casually selling your classmates!?" Chassi unceremoniously waved the feather duster in her hand and hit the little queen, but she was caught by her quick-eyed and quick-handed posture of catching the white blade with her bare hands.

"To help her overcome her fabled androphobia, of course. Alicia said loudly and confidently, "Only when the soft girl is passed by the ghost beast man [Beep--] and [Beep--] and [Beep--] can she evolve into a real warrior who wields a firewood knife and kills all the perverted perverts in the world, plus a pyramid scheme monster with red eyes, white hair and long ears, and then saves the world's love warriors!"

"That's just pure blackening, okay!?"

"While chopping people into mosaics, hehe, something weak. In the current world, this type of cute girl is the ultimate existence of some male protagonists, and if she can't conquer her, the world will be destroyed!"

Chasi couldn't help but step forward and press Alicia's shoulder hard, and sighed helplessly: "You're enough, you're really enough." ”

Sophia opened her mouth in time and smiled, "Well." Let's put that aside for now, let's get down to business. Alythea, how long will it take for the base in Wailing Bay to be able to contact the expeditionary fleet?"

"It's estimated that it will take four or five days at the earliest. Alicia replied as she began to organize the shelves again, "And if all is going well." If there is bad weather, or if the actual position of the fleet is far from the last report, then there is no telling when. ”

The pink princess shook the fan in her hand and muttered, "That's right, the only hope now is that Francis sees that the communication is fake and ignores it." ”

[No, if it was Francis's guy, he would definitely do the opposite after seeing that the communication was fake......]

At this moment, Gurney, who was tidying up the shelves on the other side, raised her hand weakly: "That." Her Majesty. It's a little strange for me to say it, but isn't it a little inappropriate for you to be in a civilian shop with an apron and a helping hand while discussing the situation on the front line?"

"Huh. Aunt Ginnie, what's wrong?" the blonde girl immediately put on a frightened expression and asked in a hurried tone, "Is it because of the apron?"

"Wait until the summer to do that! Uh, no, no, no, I mean after you get married to somebody...... No, how could such a thing be done!?"

Looking at the situation in front of her, where the little devil girl who was still a virgin was flirting with her innocent middle-aged sister-in-law who had been married, Sophia couldn't help but cover her face with a fan, and her whole body trembled desperately, holding back the laughter that might erupt at any time.

However, the pink princess still couldn't hold back after all, because Michelle decisively added her own natural stupid style of second-stage attack: "Woohoo." Sister Ellie, is it really necessary to wear an apron like this!?"

"Well, that's the most basic common sense!"

"Don't instill some strange knowledge into Michelle, how can you cultivate!"

Her Royal Highness, who was elegantly behaved, burst into laughter on the spot. Chassi, on the other hand, grabbed Alicia's stupid hair under Sun Xiang's embarrassed gaze; Michelle tried to persuade the two girls who were entangled to break away, but she tripped over something under her feet and fell into a ruddle; Gurney took her son's hand and posed as if she was working hard before little Danielle opened her mouth to ask; as for the moon song in the corner, it was once again gorgeously ignored by everyone.

Ilya, who had just entered the store carrying a box of tools from the back warehouse, decisively showed a puzzled expression at the everyday scene in front of her. And for Sun Xiang, the envious, jealous and hateful eyes completely made his whole person confused.

Just when the situation is getting more and more out of line, and it looks like it's about to fall into a disconnected situation. The main entrance of the store was pushed open. With the crisp ringing of the bell, a cold air took the opportunity to burrow into the room, which also calmed everyone down one after another.

It was actually Siggs. He first glanced at Michelle, who was about to reveal her fat when her skirt was lifted on the floor—Alysia immediately stepped forward to block the other party's view—and then coughed vigorously and said, "Your Majesty, here's a copy of the news from Mangla from Mangla. It is said that Yura suddenly regained consciousness in the early hours of this morning, and now ......"

When Alicia heard this, she immediately slapped off Chassi's hand that was holding her stupid hair: "You mean it really?"

"Of course. The boy Dibes sent me to inform you as soon as he got the news, and he really sent someone. Siggs pouted slightly unhappily, "You only need to send a message to the imperial capital to confirm this kind of thing immediately, and there should be no fake." Anyway, what's wrong with you. Is it up to that little girl named Hannah to make a fuss!? There is absolutely no way she can easily hack into the alliance's communication system, otherwise she wouldn't have caused such an exaggerated mess yesterday. ”

The blonde girl scratched her cheeks in embarrassment, smiled, stuck out her tongue, tilted her head, and said, "Hey, hey." Haven't I overthought it?"

"It's useless for you to sell cuteness to me. Siggs waved his hand casually, "Also, your precious sister said in the message that Yura plans to rush to the front line with the Expeditionary Fleet with the Deep Sea Dragons after recuperating, and Randy has asked to go along. She wants to ask your opinion on this. ”

"Since Randy hasn't had any anomalies in this amount of time, let him go. However, the necessary monitoring is still indispensable. Alicia stroked her chin and muttered, "As for Yura, her body should be fine, but what about her mental strength? I have been so affected, can she, a sick girl, continue to drive the Deep Sea Dragon?"

Siggs suddenly had a puzzled expression on his face: "This is the strangest thing. After Yura woke up, Imrith and the others immediately examined her in all directions, and found that the girl was only physically weak, and the rest of the place, especially the mental power, showed no signs of being impaired in the slightest, as if the mental power had recovered automatically during the coma. ”

"And my wild girl's mental power that refuses to obediently COS Sleeping Beauty to let Ilya put up a flag has not recovered because of this, right?" the little queen said with a smiling face, "Okay, I know that adequate sleep is the main means of restoring mental power, but ...... like hers I'd better make a smiling face. ”

Sophia closed the fan next to her and clapped her hands lightly: "But this is undoubtedly great news for the coalition expeditionary fleet that has begun to weaken today's offensive, as long as we make good use of Yura's deep-sea dragon to survive this time, and after the alliance's newly developed submarine is mass-produced and installed, we can officially counterattack the Taylandyr continent." ”

Everyone in the room was overjoyed when they heard this.

Alicia also nodded and looked at Siggs and said, "Then it's decided." After a few days of Yura's recovery, a fleet was sent to send her to Francis along with Randy's Outer Sea Dragon. Also, I will accompany them and inspect the condition of the fleet before the start of school. ”

"It's just an inspection, aren't you planning again?" said Sophia, staring suspiciously at her friend's pretty face.

"Absolutely not, it's really just an ordinary inspection. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to report to the Garden of Hope with peace of mind. (To be continued......)
