After an end of a dispute with a natural abort in the unremarkable Shura field, Alicia finally returned to Mangla in anticipation from her courtiers. This time, her Majesty could take care of the affairs herself—thought the courtiers, who apparently underestimated the blonde's lazy ability to avoid work. On the 10th of the first month, when Jura informed her that she had recovered with the help of the court priest, Alicia decisively stuffed the documents into the embarrassed Imrith again, and took Jura and Randy to the magic teleportation array headed south.

The fleet to the front line consisted of a dozen conventional transports, surface warships, and two prototype submarines that the Alliance hastily built. This type of submarine is a complete knock-off of the Dark Empire, and due to its lack of technology, it has not been mass-produced, but only two have been concocted to collect data in battle and then refine it.

Alysia and the others were on one of the submarines.

The hull layout is not very reasonable, the speed is not as fast as that of the enemy, and the maneuverability is not very good, but the firepower, armor, and shields have a strong Western Continent style, and they are all gasping at a glance - this is what Randy said about the submarines produced by the Alliance.

What's going on with this familiar weapon design style......

After several days of sailing, and two resupply breaks at Base Alpha and Wailing Bay, the fleet finally arrived in the waters where Francis and the others were stationed.

"Welcome to the Christgaard, Your Majesty. Francis, who greeted Alicia at the entrance to the ship's bilge, turned dark. His eyes were even bloodshot, "I really didn't expect you to come with Miss Yura." ”

"Hey, uncle. Why do you look so haggard?Is it that the girl who has been dating for years and is planning to propose to her next month suddenly runs away with some rich and handsome man without a sound?" "So, in a fit of rage, you used the money you were going to get married, and you got two or three tavern girls to do things like beep and beep and beep all night, so you got what you are like now?"

“...... Everyone can testify that you have been working hard these days, and I should ask you for moral compensation?"

Alicia smiled and let go of her hand, took half a step back, raised her head and said, "Okay, although I don't know what you and your subordinates are busy with, it's hard work." What did you do with the earlier communication to the expeditionary fleet in my name, Francis?"

"Although I couldn't find any flaws in the language code in the communication, I knew it was fake right away. Francis said and shrugged his shoulders. "So I didn't do what I was asked to do. ”

Jikerem, who was standing behind his good friend, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Wait a minute! I thought it was strange when you were very skeptical about communication at the beginning, how did you tell the difference?"

"It's very simple, because with our little queen's temperament, uh no. I mean, she's going to stand in front of the communicator and grab the microphone and yell at us, instead of just having her subordinates write and send someone to read it to us. ”

"Although there are a lot of slots in it, in a sense, it is......

Alicia patted her cheek vigorously to return her embarrassed expression to normal, and then said, "OK, I see." So what's it about keeping you busy these days that you're not getting enough sleep, and there's a passing primordial machine in the nearby sea that has just appeared on the scene and killed the little underwater monster that is tasked with the arduous mission of driving a giant robot to protect the world?"

Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army shook his head solemnly: "It's not just a little monster. There were also a lot of enemy warships scattered around. His Highness Icarus had discovered the opposing forces several days earlier. We are also on high alert at all times. But they didn't mean to attack, probably because they realized that the difference in combat power between the two sides was quite large. However, I don't think it's necessary for the other side to mobilize their already small forces to come all the way to this place where birds don't lay eggs to watch us strongly, so there must be an article on that island. ”

"The island, Francis, did you find anything interesting on a nearby island?"

"Ah, almost. In a few moments, it will be the regular report of Angel, who is the leader of the team on the island, so you can ask her. ”

The group quickly moved to the bridge. Out of curiosity, Yura and Randy followed, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it - there were several soldiers watching Randy, and even if she suddenly tried to wreak havoc, she could still subdue him on the spot.

However, the handsome silver-haired man with a paralyzed face did not show any dissatisfaction with this treatment at all.

A few minutes later. Angel's contact came in. The young knight was somewhat surprised by the fact that the answer was not Francis but Alicia: "Your Majesty. Why are you here!?"

"I'm here to inspect my work and issue a fine by the way. ”

"Isn't that the latter the real purpose of you?"

"Your complaining strength is really improving rapidly, Senior Sister Anqi. Alicia smiled at the corners of her mouth tilted slightly, "Well, let's not mention this first." I heard Francis say you found something interesting on the island, didn't you?"

"Yes, something very special. Angel paused as she spoke, as if she was sorting out the documents in her hand, "There is a huge magic array on the island, and our experts believe that it was set up by the demons. Because in addition to the fact that there are many demon characters in the magic array, its design style is also completely different from that of Zhuo Erliwen. The exact function of the magic circle is still unknown, but at least its corrosive effect is unquestionable - the entire island's animals, plants, and even the island itself have completely died, turning into some kind of hard, black, combustible rock. ”

"Coal?"

“...... It's a little harder than that. It's almost time to catch up with diamonds. Angel smacked her lips slightly, "Also, though the function has not yet been determined. Experts believe that this magic circle is most likely just a part, a part installed in some super giant magic circle. ”

Hearing this, Alicia was shocked and asked, "Do you mean that there is a demon who is so powerful that he has drawn a huge magic circle that can be seen on the many islands scattered throughout the ocean, and the one on your island is just one of the parts?"

At least that's what the experts think. That's all I have to report, Your Majesty. ”

"Well, it's hard work, senior sister. ”

After cutting off the communication, Alicia grabbed her scalp and turned around with a painful face: "Cheers, everyone." I think we've hit the jackpot. ”

Francis also only heard about the super giant magic array today, and was obviously still in shock: "Uh, how much is the jackpot?"

"You're going to be a good deal for the whole of next year. The little queen said angrily with a bun face.

"Oh no. You can't do this to me!" The poor commander-in-chief of the coalition forces finally came to his senses, and crawled to the feet of the blonde girl and hugged her calves, "If I detain it again, I will have to live with my wife." ”

After graciously kicking Francis away, Alicia turned her gaze to the calm Jikrem next to her, "The current state of the fleet is not very suitable for fierce battles, is it?"

Jikerem immediately nodded vigorously: "Yes, Your Majesty." Most of the warships are in urgent need of maintenance. As the head of the surface fleet, I am categorically opposed to engaging enemy forces not far away in such a situation. ”

"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter. Without even looking at Francis, Alicia ordered, "Order the fleet to prepare to retreat and come here after the maintenance is completed." It's certainly not a simple thing to be able to make the enemy value it so much, and if I'm not mistaken, they can't be transferred. ”

Jikerem faithfully carried out the little queen's instructions, and then pulled up his good friend who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead, and asked, "It seems that you have some kind of speculation about that super giant magic array, can you tell us about it?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the vicinity looked curious, and even Randy's dead fish face couldn't help but change slightly. He glanced faintly at the blonde girl.

"Well, it's not speculation. At best, it's speculation. "As you all know, the main reason why we are passive in the battle on the ocean, apart from those artificially bred aquatic monsters, is that the hurricane that never seems to stop severely limits the ability of the battleship. I've guessed before that this hurricane was created by some demon who controls the Dark Empire. It's obviously some kind of wind spell, and I don't think that thing will be stupid enough to cast it in person, and become a dead house boss who can't leave easily or the spell will fail and the hurricane will disappear with it. Therefore, the magic array that can operate on its own has become the most ideal choice. ”

"I see, are you saying that this possible giant magic array is used to create hurricanes that affect the entire ocean?" Randy said in an emotionless voice, "Indeed, in terms of scale alone, people don't want to believe it. Then, just destroy the magic array on that island now......"

Alicia shook her head lightly and said, "As long as you destroy a part of it, you can paralyze the entire magic array, I don't think it's that simple." You see, there are so many parts on a battleship, and if one or a few parts break down, it won't have much impact on the battleship itself, and in the same way, even if we blow the magic array on that island to slag, this irritating hurricane weather will probably not stop there. At this time, what needs to be done is to occupy more sea control to expand the search area, find the core location of the super giant magic array and destroy it, instead of staring at a large group of menacing bystanders. ”

Randy nodded and said no more, and the beautiful little queen gave the order to evacuate the islanders after a brief silence to confirm that everyone no longer had doubts.

————————————————————I'm the dividing line————————————————

In a hotel in a downtown area.

"Mistress Hannah. Shadow knocked on the door and asked, "I have something important to report to you." Is it convenient now?"

"Oh, it's okay, come in. ”

Shadow pushed open the door and walked into the room. After three seconds, he closed the door again and retreated: "Call me when you have changed your clothes." ”

"Cut, it's a boring man, uh no, a male elf. Hannah, who only had a set of underwear on her body, planned to show off her delicate body curves wantonly, but he was quietly dodged by him, and suddenly pouted her lips without knowing whether she was really slightly angry or purely in disguise, and sat on the edge of the bed after putting on her clothes for a while and said, "Okay." There are no benefits this time, so you can come in with peace of mind. ”

Shadow cautiously pushed the door open and bowed respectfully to the girl, "Lord Hannah." Just now, his subordinates got in touch and said that the existence of the super giant magic array that maintained the hurricane was guessed by Alicia. ”

"Tsk, I didn't expect to be discovered so soon. Hannah bit the nail of her thumb and said hatefully, "We've been passive since we lost the naval battle. If you don't want to find a way to kill that girl, sooner or later, she will be beaten to the mainland. ”

"I'm sorry. Failed to take her head on the day of the New Year's celebration. ”

Hannah waved her hand helplessly, and said with a slightly distorted face: "This is all due to lack of intelligence, who would have thought that Alicia would be able to summon, and even more extraordinarily, use that mimic slime to transfer Dibes, who was the target of assassination." You only had a little combat power in your hands at that time, and there was nothing you could do if you couldn't beat the other party. But now that she should have done almost everything, she will definitely take Ya's life next time!"

Shadow immediately nodded vigorously.

"Now, apart from this news, did our great military advisor say anything else?" Hannah said lazily leaning back on the bed in a seductive pose, "It's not just here to remind us that something is wrong, is it?"

For the military advisor in Hannah's mouth. Shadow basically didn't know anything. At present, the only information that Shadow has is that this military advisor is a great figure among the demons who control the entire Dark Empire behind the scenes, and he invented the method of building a plane portal after the ancient war, so that the demons can invade Drowlivan again. He commanded the demon army to erect the Tower of Sacrifice in the Land of Despair, and developed a vast amount of necromancy to defeat the coalition and destroy the dwarven kingdom. After the humans invited Hertshitier, they set up an ambush and successfully "killed" her, and finally captured the entire Desperate Land as the front line base of the demons.

However, unlike Dronsha, where the demons live, Drowlivan has a vast ocean. The demons, who have no navigation in the technology tree at all, are trapped in a desperate place with grievances, and they can't advance or retreat in a very embarrassing way. However, the military advisor apparently saw far enough, he disguised himself as a human to infiltrate the fleet retreating to the continent of Taylandyr, and then used the brainwashing ability of mind control to quickly develop his power, set up a magic circle in the ocean to create a hurricane, conquer the continent by force, and then began to threaten the whole of Drowlivan.

This is a figure worthy of being called an epic legend - although he is a demon and whose identity is still uncertain - and Hannah is the only disciple he has taught.

Every time I think of these shadows, I can't help but sweat.

"Ah, what's wrong with you, you're covered in sweat on your forehead. Hannah curled the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled evilly, "Don't worry, the teacher is far from being as scary as you think. Even if I take your arm with a coquettish face and say that I am already your man, he will definitely not be angry and cut you up and feed you to the devil, but will let you complete all kinds of difficult and dangerous tasks that are not strange to die at any time to prove your love for me...... That's how it should be, right?"

What's going on with that last question?,Compared with it, the things in the middle that are off the line and out of specs are all weak and explosive, hey!

The painful expression on Shadow's face couldn't help but get even worse: "Well, the message forwarded by someone else also said that Master Strategist asked Hannah to prepare for 'that thing' as soon as possible. He's about to launch an operation against Alicia, and I hope you'll be able to match him perfectly. ”

"There's no need to worry about this kind of thing, I've already prepared everything. Hannah pulled out a nail clipper and carefully trimmed the nail that had been bitten just now, and said absent-mindedly, "I said, Ei, don't you ask what exactly 'that thing' refers to?"

The handsome elf guy shook his head indifferently and said, "When you should tell me, you will naturally let me know." Until then, I had no idea it existed. ”

Hannah nodded with the corners of her mouth slanted in satisfaction: "Very good, go gather people, we have work to do." ”

Shadow saluted Hannah and turned and strode out, her resolute appearance and lonely and proud figure deeply attracted the girl's attention—but when he was gone, the faint admiration contained in that gaze was suddenly replaced by cruelty: "Although you usually behave normally, how long can you continue to pretend with a calm face if the teacher takes the life of Elicia's girl this time?"

After speaking, the girl put away her frightening expression and slightly held her cheeks and made a shy appearance: "However, no matter what the final result is, this kind of mood of expecting love at first sight to make an unforgivable mistake and slowly cut him into slices is really unstoppable."
