The sky was black, the islands were black, and a strong hurricane full of moisture could almost overturn a warship, and it was impossible for ordinary people to move forward in such an environment, let alone search the entire island. However, none of this had any effect on Icarus, who walked slowly across the island with a nonchalant face on her face, as if the harsh weather around her was completely non-existent.

The surface of the island is mostly made of solid rock, and the rest of the soil is devoid of vegetation. The further you go to the center of the island, the more black rocks become, and eventually they simply cover the entire ground.

Icarus stopped in front of a jutting rock, pinched off a small piece of it and examined it carefully - don't imitate it, good boy, unless you want to hurt your right hand in this way to avoid doing your homework.

Rocks are mainly crystallized with carbon, but there are other elements mixed in with them. However, this thing is much harder than coal, and it feels like nature can turn it into a diamond with a little processing. But the question is, this is an island in the sea, not a mine deep underground, how did this thing come to be?

This island is clearly different from the ones I've seen before. While the other islands are similarly barren and rocky and black, most of them remain in their original nature, and if they can drive away the effects of demonic spells, it will not take long to regain their vitality, but this island is ...... How to put it, even the island itself is "dead", a veritable dried corpse that can be burned with a little fire.

There are oddities, and Francis's hunch seems to be right. Icarus crumpled the fragments in his hand into powder and let them go with the wind. Running the probe at full power, it continued to walk into the depths. It's just that even the normally stunned Queen of the Sky noticed that something was wrong, but there was still no reaction from the detector.

Icarus examined his system with a slight suspicion, and found no signs of unusual malfunction or external interference, which meant that the detector was working properly. It's just that the suspicious parts of this island have been hidden by someone in some way.

The Sky Queen's beautiful green eyes turned a seeping bright red, and the whole person had entered a state of imminent combat alert. However, it wasn't until she walked into the pocket valley in the middle of the island that there were no swords-and-guns wielding human soldiers, fangs and claws, monster hunters, and cold-looking demon guards to stop her and collect protection money;

So far, I haven't found the slightest suspicious place, which makes the Queen of the Sky a little embarrassed.

It would have been nice if the master had been here, she would have been very keen to spot the problem and give me instructions. But since she's not here at the moment, let's think about what kind of action she'll take the way the Master thinks.

After standing in place for a long time, Icarus suddenly made an earth-shattering move: he saw the Queen of the Sky wearing a silver armor suddenly shake off the pink wings behind her back. Countless rays of light gathered on the surface, and then they were densely packed and launched like raindrops.

Full-screen barrage bombardment, what's going on!?Alicia, who is far away in Buckle, is already desperately sneezing at the moment, and she can't even stop it, hey!

The black rocks crumbled apart in the fire, and many of them ignited sporadic flames. Fortunately, the debris was swept away by the hurricane as soon as it was blasted into the air, and there was no such exaggerated tragedy as the Queen of the Sky setting fire to the entire island.

However, the unexpected is that. Beneath the torn ground, a dull roar of rage suddenly erupted, forcing Icarus to stop his blind sabotage.

The ground trembled slightly, and intensified to a very obvious degree, and in the blink of an eye it became a strong earthquake that no one could stand. Icarus flapped his wings lightly and flew into the air, staring down closely. There, countless rock fragments suddenly soared into the sky like volcanic eruptions. Then a behemoth emerged from the crack and threw its head up into the angel with a piercing roar of rage.

This creature has a humanoid form, but its whole body is made of that kind of black rock, and it doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of communicating with others, and it is obvious that it is an elemental creature that has been concocted by someone to guard the secrets that may exist on the island.

Sure enough, there was a problem. Perhaps for the army that landed on the island, this body was so hard that it couldn't cut at all, even if it was injured by magic, it could absorb elements from the rocks all over the battlefield and repair its own monster, and it was completely inexplicable, but for Icarus, it was just a little more time to bombard the girl into slag. The impenetrable Artemis left a large number of bright wakes in mid-air like a meteor shower of fire-based spells, and slammed into the ground so hard that the entire island couldn't help but shake slightly.

——————————————————I'm a dividing line——————————————————

As a member of the royal family left behind in the city of Mangla. Imrith attended the New Year's celebrations under the arrangement and protection of General Fair. By the time the little girl representing the royal family, especially Her Majesty, who was said to be in Buckle's battle with a certain natural aura, had finally completed her mission and was freed from the visitation and blessings of her subjects.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. You've done a great job. Fairby respectfully bowed to the blonde Lori in front of him and said, "That's all for today, please go and rest in peace." ”

"You mean there's tomorrow?" Kezi, who was following closely behind Imrith, immediately looked at Feldau with a not-so-friendly look, "With such a deliberate reduction in the amount of time Kezi spends alone with his master, is it possible that you are a ghost animal uncle who is always trying to get close to his master?"

"Please don't compare me to His Royal Highness Prince Locklip!"

Imrith waved her hand weakly and yawned, "You two don't make a fuss, I can't open my eyelids." General Fair. You've worked hard too. Then I'll leave ...... here."

A familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the hall, interrupting little Ise's words.

"Ah, here. After asking for a long time, I finally found you before the break. A girl with long light blonde hair and a delicate-looking body curled up in the arms of a handsome silver-haired man with a dead fish face and said to Imrith with a happy face. "It's a pity that Her Majesty is not here, which is a small pity. ”

Imrith rubbed her temples vigorously to stimulate her groggy head so as not to fall asleep directly, and subconsciously raised her hand to the visitor and beckoned, "Ah, Sister Yura, Brother Randy, you haven't slept yet?"

"Randy was probably going to sleep this night, but I had slept enough. Yura's body seemed to be very weak, and she had little strength to speak, so her voice was not very loud. "But now after all, it's the New Year, and at least you have to send your blessings before the benefactors rest. Happy New Year, Her Royal Highness Princess Imrith. ”

"That's right. Happy New Year, Sister Yura...... Mi, Mi woo——!?" The blonde Lori finally woke up, and the whole person suddenly lost the slightest sleepiness, and went straight to Randy to carefully look at the girl in his arms and asked with concern, "Yu, Sister Yura." Aren't you in a coma. When did you wake up!?"

The girl struggled to make a smiling expression and said, "Just now, I woke up all of a sudden. ”

"You've omitted the most important part. The golden shadow who was closely following the two of them and was in charge of spying on Randy said nonchalantly, "Randy woke you up with a sweet and romantic deep kiss, and we guards can see it clearly from the side." ”

"Mi woo ——!?" Imrise's pretty cheeks instantly turned red, and she looked very cute, "Sure, is that really the case?

looked at the beautiful little girl who turned into gossip mode in front of her. Yura couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Ah, actually, ......"

"Eat jelly. It must feel like eating jelly!" After the master, a certain red-haired and ponytailed evil god girl turned the demon into a member of the paparazzi, "Or is it more moist and soft than eating jelly?"

"So ......"

Imrith's dazzling and beautiful two-colored pupils were shining brightly at this moment, and after grabbing Yura's hand tightly, she asked excitedly, "What about the dizziness, the suffocation, and the heart is really beating fast?"

"Please, okay with what people say!?" said Yura, embarrassed and angry, "It's not like that at all!"

The master and servant, who were almost in a state of frenzy, suddenly cooled down, and turned their heads to look at Xiao Dian next to them: "Huh, but?"

"I'm kidding. The expressionless beautiful girl said lightly in the strong onlookers of everyone.

Dark, when did you get spoiled by Elicia's girl!?

After a short cold moment, Yura coughed lightly and said, "I don't know the details myself, I just remember that I slept for a long time, and then suddenly woke up in a daze. Fortunately, Randy was by my side at the time, and it was only after listening to his explanation that I figured out the situation now. ”

Because it was New Year's Eve and Yura was unconscious, Fair kindly had Randy taken to Yura's hospital room - of course, the necessary surveillance could not be stopped. It's just that Randy behaves normally, sitting on the edge of the bed silently holding her lover's hand, and she never let go until the moment she suddenly woke up not long ago.

"Well, all in all, as long as you wake up. After the excitement passed, a deep sleepiness enveloped Imrith again, causing the little girl to yawn incessantly, "Our fleet has defeated the forces of the Dark Empire and is advancing into the deep sea. After a few days, Sister Yura, you can recuperate and then rush to join the fleet. It has always been your wish to liberate the people of your hometown with your own hands, and I believe that this day will not wait too long. But until then, let's get some rest, shall we?"

"That's right, I'm sorry for delaying your sleep. Well, good night. ”

"Well, good night. ”

——————————————————I'm a dividing line——————————————————

Why is her armor waterproof, and how nice it would be if it were soaked in water!Francis looked at the proud figure of Icarus, who was shaking off the droplets stuck to his wings while wiping his hair with a towel, and then asked casually, "So." Your Highness. Did you get anything out of this trip?"

Icarus nodded slightly, "Yes." The medium-sized island was as strange as you might have guessed, with black rocks on its surface that looked like they had been somehow transformed from the corpses of the plants and animals that originally lived on the island. And I also encountered an elemental creature that seemed to be guarding in the depths of the island......"

"What, elemental creatures!?" the officers and men on the bridge gasped in unison when they heard this.

"It's not a big deal. I finished it in just 5 minutes. The Queen of the Sky continued with a nonchalant face, "Since it was obvious that the other party was guarding something, I conducted a thorough inspection of the island after cleaning it up, and found some kind of magic circle under that layer of black rock. ”

"Can't you decipher the purpose of the magic circle?" asked Francis, slightly puzzled, in his opinion, as the messengers of God, angels should be geniuses in this regard, even if they have a strange personality.

"That's not my specialty. Icarus shook his head decisively and said.

Speaking of which, she wears battle armor, which means that she is actually a warrior. It's no surprise that warriors don't understand magic. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces stroked his chin in understanding and said, "I see. Then I understand, I'll send an expert to study the magic array on the island when the weather improves. What did you find in the archipelago on the left?"

Who wants the Queen of the Sky to show a puzzled expression. Tilting his head slightly, he replied, "I have found many sources of energy underwater, and the number has increased a little bit compared to yesterday. It's just that...... These energy fluctuations, while very close to or even exactly the engines of enemy ships, always felt something wrong with me. ”

"Because the goals are so obvious, it's almost like they're deliberately drawing us in. Jikerem answered from the side. "Francis. It is clear that the enemy is trying to divert our attention from the island, and you are right to have His Highness Icarus reconnoiter again. ”

"It's no good to pat me, the commander-in-chief who is about to be punished by the little queen to repair the decks of all the warships in the alliance. Francis shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly and smiled, "By the way, how much do we have left?"

"Don't worry about supplies for the time being, it's enough for you to launch a large-scale battle on the scale of a decisive battle. "The problem is that the battleship is very damaged in this environment, and I won't be surprised if a ship suddenly falls apart one day if it is not repaired." ”

“...... Are our warships all inferior models that are casually pasted?" Frascia couldn't help but sigh with her hand on her forehead, "Well. But for this terrible weather, our warships are indeed as fragile as models. No wonder the guys in the Dark Empire are developing submarines. It's just forced!"

Jikerem nodded and said solemnly, "That's right. Since it was determined that we could not stop our advance, the enemy blew up all the facilities in the base before retreating. Our warship hasn't undergone any overhaul for almost a month, which is very dangerous in the current environment. I strongly advise the Commander to halt the advance for the time being, and to set off again after the follow-up troops have built their bases and have had sufficient rest. ”

"I know, I know, you don't have that old face, it makes people feel panicked. "I really didn't plan to move on, but the previous communication in the name of the little queen was really suspicious, so our curiosity was piqued." ”

"But did you know that my friends and I were frightened by your apparent desire to lead the fleet to find out!?"

Francis sneered and easily ignored his good friend's complaints, stretched his body hard, yawned deeply, and said, "Well, don't worry, I still have this bit of proportion." It's not early, everyone hurries to bed. I don't want to be kicked open by Angel or Angel or Angel when I'm sleeping soundly tomorrow, break into the neighborhood, drag myself out of the bed, throw it straight to the bathroom sink, pour cold water on my head, and wake myself up. ”

“...... Are you sure that girl is Angel as a junior, and not a childhood sweetheart who has despaired of your playboy personality and plans to wake you up one last time and accept someone else's confession?" said Jikrem embarrassedly.

"What's going on with this kind of cup setting, even if Blue Star's today is the Qixi Festival of the Celestial Empire, you can't fix me like this!?" Francis grabbed his good friend by the collar with a frantic face and said angrily, "Do you know how long I've been looking forward to having a girlfriend!?"

"Of course I don't know, but your right hand ...... Or maybe the left hand knows it. ”

"I'm sorry, can we stop talking about this topic?" In the cold sweaty gaze of the officers and soldiers on the entire bridge, Francis decisively let go of his good friend and said with a nonchalant expression, "What, it's not appropriate to talk about this during the New Year, and there is something to do tomorrow, so let's go to bed early." ”

Jikerem no longer continued to embarrass the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and handed over all the work to the adjutant in charge of the night watch.

Icarus, who never sleeps, took out a watermelon and held it in his arms, quietly waiting for the next mission...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
