Shadow has not had an easy time these two days, and he has been trying to establish a connection between the scattered troops. However, it was inefficient to rely on manual transmission of information, and Hannah and others were making trouble, and the broken network of communication between the coalition forces was not completed. The only good news for the handsome elf guy is that he has found a strong assistant who will not be completely inferior when it comes to secretly fighting Hannah.

Granna meets Shadow when the entire army is scattered by the mechanical birds and retreats backwards, after her original mission was to scout the details of enemy units, but in the blink of an eye, she became a temporary liaison. She and Shadow entangled with Hannah and the others while covering the retreat of the scattered coalition forces to Chebel City, and finally arrived on the outskirts of the city on the morning of the fourth day of the inexplicable mechanical bird's appearance.

"There's only so much we can do. Shadow handed the kettle to Granna, who was sitting on the ground resting, and said, "I hope Alicia can find a way to deal with that strange bird." ”

It was an open field, and in addition to the two men, a number of coalition officers and soldiers were stationed here. With the help of handsome elves and thief girls, they managed to get rid of Hannah and the others and the low-level monsters, and will return to Chebel City safely this morning.

However, the expression on Granna's face was extremely gloomy, and there was no pride in the achievement. She shook her head and said lightly, "It is true that we have saved many teams, but this does not change the fact that I left Her Royal Highness the princess behind enemy lines. As Her Highness's bodyguard, when she needs me most. I couldn't be there for her, it's so bad!"

"Let's face it, girl. Shadow stretched out her hand and gently touched the girl's head and comforted her. "Your Highness Sophia is likely to have been killed in the initial attack, and it is useless for you to go back. Rather than going back to find her dead body, it is better to increase your grief and even unfortunately even fall into the hands of the enemy, it is better to save your allies and preserve your combat strength so that you can launch a counterattack in the future to avenge Your Highness. ”

"Well, you're right. Grana muttered back, "I actually understand that, and that's why I'm going to act with you." However, I still feel very concerned about the affairs of His Highness in my heart. This is something that will not change for a while. ”

Ying Wenyan couldn't help but fall into silence, and was about to say something when the soldier in charge of the guard suddenly screamed in horror.

"The mechanical bird is coming!"

It's morning. Everyone had woken up and started preparing for breakfast and camp, so they moved quickly after being warned. The crowd quickly packed up their tents and other camping tools, and fled out of the distance with a puff of smoke, and the mechanical bird was barely half of itself peeking out from the other side of the horizon.

There was no hiding to ambush the enemy, no reconnaissance, and no fighting, the team was simply spreading its feet and running desperately. But it was precisely because of this that he managed to escape from the overwhelming enemy army.

"Damn. Have those blue-gray low-level monsters caught up with them?" Grana couldn't help but look back and chirp, "They don't need to rest!?"

The eyes of the large mechanical bird burst into a terrifying dark red light, and the surface of its body turned dark gray for some reason, whether it was evolution or some other reason. The wings of the many skeletons spread out and obscured almost half of the sky (although the gaps between the skeletons were large due to the lack of flesh and feathers), and the bare bird's head now had three long bumps that looked like feathers, and from time to time a large number of red lights flashed from its body, and then these red dots formed a deadly beam that mercilessly struck the target on the ground.

In just a few days, the mechanical bird has undergone tremendous changes. These changes are very abrupt, if we say evolution. It feels a little too sensational.

But in reality, this is indeed evolution.

From the moment you just entered Drowlivan. The mechanical bird was rejected by the entire shijie. It changed the composition of its body to resist the shijie's erosion, turned itself into a mobile turret to effectively hit small, fast-sized targets, and created a detection device overhead to track down fleeing enemies...... Alicia and even the entire coalition saw these changes clearly, and lost the confidence to defeat the other party.

So it's not a shame for Shadow and Granna to run with this army without their lives.

His long-cherished wish to liberate his hometown and save his compatriots, the Western Continent Alliance's plan to counterattack the demons and turn the tide of the war, and the expectations of all the intelligent races of the human race and even the entire Drowlivan to drive away the demons, will all be completely ended today? Shadow looked at the mechanical bird that was heading straight for Chebell City behind him, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Battleship, our battleship!" suddenly someone in the team shouted pointing ahead.

Ying Wenyan immediately turned his head to look, and sure enough, except for the Dawn, which had no main gun, all three air warships were dispatched. In the battle with the mechanical bird a few days ago, both the fighter plane and the fallen angel were damaged a lot, and even a giant dragon was seriously injured, but this time the fleet did not even have an escort force, making the three battleships side by side look very shabby.

This is the first time that the coalition forces have attacked Zuihou on the continent of Taranmere.

Before Shadow's sigh was over, the Kristga, the farthest range, had already attacked. However, the artillery fire did not go to the mechanical birds.

There was an earth-shattering explosion on the horizon in the distance, and the dazzling light of the fire could not even hide the light emitted by the rising sun, and the ground trembled slightly, and countless dust and debris flew high in the sky, even from so far away that the handsome elf could see clearly.

Weishenme wants to fight the low-level monsters that are immediately behind the mechanical bird? There is no point in doing so, you have to find a way to deal with the mechanical bird first. Could it be ......

Shadow suddenly stopped, raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone stop moving!"

"What's wrong?" Grana looked at Ei puzzled, "now is our chance to escape into the city?"

"Nope. The handsome elf guy turned to look into the distance and said lightly, "It's the opposite." Now is our chance to stage a Jedi counterattack drama with Elysia's girl. ”

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line for changing lenses――――――――――――――――――

The mechanical bird's beam attack was too terrifying, and in order to avoid more losses in the opponent's full-screen barrage, Alicia decisively hid the remaining air units on the Aurora. She herself took the initiative to attack with three rough-skinned and thick air warships, intending to divide the victory before the demon army and the mechanical birds converged.

"Regardless, Ulrique's actions seem too hasty. Before Alicia prepares to leave the bridge with the assault team and head to the deck, Randy stops the girl and says to her, "If I'm right, it's likely that the mechanical bird won't be able to survive in this Shijie for long, and he's definitely going to crush the coalition before then." It's not just the coalition forces right now. Even the demon army is scattered everywhere because it is advancing too fast. You should understand, right?"

"Ah, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Alicia nodded vigorously, "Just take down the mechanical bird here." We can completely defeat the scattered demon armies in one go! Cannon fodder that cannot form a numerical superiority is just mobile experience. Francis, the fleet will be handed over to you, and Randy will help deal with any emergencies. ”

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, who has always been a fool, also put away the cynical expression on his face at this moment. He bowed solemnly to the little queen and said, "The subordinates receive the order." Even if this body is gone. May the blessing of the creator always be with you, Queen Bixia. ”

Alicia nodded at him lightly, "Hmm." But it's good to have momentum, but it's not okay to get a bento? If we fail to hold back the hatred of the mechanical bird and cause serious damage to the battleship, we are absolutely not allowed to be strong, and we will evacuate the battlefield immediately, you know? This is an order. ”

“...... Be. Francis took two deep breaths, composed, and replied in a low voice.

When Francis stepped aside, Alicia raised her hand to wipe the hair from her shoulders behind her. Looking around at his familiar and deeply trusted friends, he shouted, "So, let's get on!"

"Oh!!"

It is unclear how much damage these special wooden weapons can do to the mechanical birds. Alicia has put a lot of combat power into this assault team, and if the damage is insufficient, it can be used to make up for it.

First of all, the front row: Elijah, Angel, Li Huayin, Elysia and Elena transformed from slime - don't ask Weishenme that Elysia will have a genetic sample of a female swordmaster, I can only say that the habit of collecting beautiful women's hair for collection or something is a matter of personal discipline.

Next in the back row: Hetchtier, Imrith (including Kezi and Yu'er), Fabiano, Cecilia, Kuroko Shirai, and Vachisi. Cecilia and Vachis, both of whom Alicia prepared to deal with the low-level monsters they might encounter, were both very good at their potions and summons.

Zuihou is a remote support that is served by Tsukige and Asami.

Unfortunately, Xana's summoning state was still in a cooling, and Elysia had to give up the idea of letting this anti-heaven force open the way, allowing Elijah to take the lead. The group made their way to the surface deck of the Christa, and Mikoto Misaka was already waiting there according to the little queen's jihua.

"How's it going, is it possible?" asked Alicia as she walked up to Sister Cannon, who had just finished her hand training.

Mai Trin nodded, "Feasible." But when I think of so many of you deliberately posing as a group to push the boss, I feel funny. ”

"Just laugh if you want, it's not a big deal. Alicia pouted indifferently, "Besides, only by deliberately making a big show can you attract the attention of the other party more." But you, don't miss it then?"

"Who are you supposed to be talking to?"

The hull of the ship suddenly shook slightly, but it was the mechanical bird that tried to fight back and missed, and the beam of light grazed the shield at high speed, causing a little tension.

Imrith walked over with a little worry: "Sister, ......"

"Wait, it's too early. ”

As the two sides get closer, the hit rate of the mechanical bird also begins to gradually increase. However, since it was attacking three targets at the same time, the firepower was relatively scattered, and the ship's shield could hold up for the time being. However, the thick pillar of light that the mechanical bird spits out of its beak cannot be stopped by anyone. Something had to be done before the battleship could come into its range.

The mechanical bird suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth, and the irritable energy that kept tumbling inside seemed to explode at any moment, and the dazzling red light stabbed everyone and raised their hands to protect their eyes.

"Its range has increased!" Fabiano exclaimed. "And it seems like we're the target. What now?"

"Don't panic!" Alicia commanded calmly, "Sister Angel, take out your wooden shield, and Hitil, you fly to the front of the battleship with your sister in your arms and let her use her shield to block this attack!"

After a few seconds of silence, the purple-haired Lori with a serious expression pointed at Angel and Ba Asami, who were dripping in cold sweat, and looked at Alicia and asked, "Which senior sister?"

"Is it time to show your daily routine, hey-!?"

After successfully making the little queen show a frantic expression of flipping the table, Hitil, who had eased the tension a little, grabbed Angel and suddenly disappeared in place. When he reappeared in the eyes of everyone, he was already more than twenty meters away directly in front of the battleship.

In the previous battle between the coalition forces and the mechanical birds, one mountain became the unlucky victim. It was hit by a pillar of light from the mechanical bird's mouth. Then it burst like a popped balloon under the horrified gaze of everyone. Although the mountain was not large, and a park could be made around it with a concrete wall around it, it was a mountain, not a small mound, and at least the Kristga's shields and armor provided no match for its thickness.

The coalition forces were careful when fighting. Never give the mechanical bird any chance to attack the air battleship with a pillar of light. Who would have thought that today they would take the initiative to send it to the door. Naturally, the mechanical bird attacked unceremoniously on the spot.

The pillar of light shot straight towards the Christa, and then suddenly it was blocked by something and scattered into a flood of fireworks.

Angel only felt that her arm was about to break. Mindal was right, the shield made of wood provided by the Shijie tree was indeed able to withstand the attacks of the mechanical birds. The terrifying pillar of light had the heat that could instantly roast people, and the shock wave of energy could not be appreciated head-on with a pair of sunglasses, but the girl knight behind the shield did not feel this, only the reaction force generated by the shield when resisting the attack was very exaggerated, and she could barely support it.

Fortunately, Hiltier helped Angel stabilize her body in time, and the two of them finally blocked the attack of the mechanical bird with their joint efforts.

The pillar of light dissipated. Although the mechanical bird, which did not achieve the expected results, could not make any expressions, it couldn't help but raise its head. It seemed to be very stunned.

"It's now!" exclaimed Alicia while the other party was stunned, "Varcis, summon Aether out of the air!

"I—I know!" The weak soft girl was obviously so nervous that she was about to faint to the ground, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on summoning the Titan.

When Aitai appeared, he was already in a tall battle form, and viciously grabbed the slender neck of the mechanical bird and fell violently. The two behemoths fell to the ground in unison, causing a strong earthquake and causing the nearby low-level monsters and Grana and the others to stagger.

The Krista lowered its altitude, and Alyssia immediately took the lead and jumped off the deck first. Although the mechanical bird struggled to get rid of Aitai's entanglement, its shape was not suitable for fighting, and it had energy far beyond the opponent but could not exert it with all its might, and was suppressed by the giant Lori.

However, this suppression was only short-lived, and the mechanical bird quickly concentrated its energy on the surface of its body, forming something like a fighting armor, and forcefully bounced Aitai to the side.

"Hurry up, that girl has only been around for a few minutes!" shouted Alicia as she lunged forward, "we must get the mechanical bird's attention in time for her disappearance." ”

"I don't know what you're having, but I just need to stop you here, right?"

An abrupt voice suddenly sounded above the dirt slope ahead, but it was Hannah who appeared in front of everyone with many men and grinning low-level monsters.

[Hell, why is Hannah here? Yes, she must have been hiding in the rear during the coalition counterattack a few days ago, and now she is just in the background. What should I do, do I have to divide some of my men to deal with her?]

Just as Alicia stopped her group to pull out a few regular weapons (as they had wooden toy weapons in their hands), Shadow and Grana arrived from the right rear with a group of poorly equipped but still energetic coalition soldiers. The handsome elf guy looked at Hannah, who had a painful expression on his face, and was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he pinch the bridge of his nose and sighed: "This is also fate." Leave it to us, Alicia, and keep doing what you have to do. ”

The blonde girl didn't shirk either, she took out some whiteboard weapons from her bracelet and threw them on the ground and ran away without looking back: "Shadow, let's invite you to eat lollipops when you go back...... Oh no, I mean you're going to dinner! Granna, help take care of him. ”

"Oh, Haode. Ah, did you just say that you want to invite someone to dinner!?" The thief girl cried out with her head in shock, "When did you become so generous with the creator god above?"

"Hey, weishenme, it's rare for me to be serious, but all the people around me are still continuing to show off their daily routines as usual!?" (To be continued......)

PS: Before I know it, another year has passed, and I would like to sincerely thank you for your long-term support. Happy New Year's Day, and please take care of it this year!
