Chapter 679: The Way Back to the Homeland
A trail of blood on the side of her cheek was the first wound Xiuya had suffered since the start of the war. But this injury is not due to the living corpse, but to the girl in front of her who is covered in blood!
Of course, Xiuya knew that the blood on her body was not herself, but a ripper. Coating itself with the blood of the Ripper, hiding among the living corpses and waiting for an opportunity. The simple and efficient assassination, if it weren't for his extremely accurate sense of the elements, might have left this dangerous girl out of the past.
Silver Ranger Moni, a name that almost everyone in the black land knows. During the two years that Shuya was fighting the Black Lands, the Silver Ranger was always at the front of her army. It's a human being, but it's mixed with a different race. Where there's Moni, there's the beast Girutan, it's almost an open secret. The duo suddenly appeared on the black earth, and at first, they were just different, and they had not yet come into the sight of Xiuya.
But as they advanced to the hinterland of the black earth, the two of them began to become active. They organized an alien rebel army, taking advantage of the terrain and environment to inflict continuous damage on Xiuya's army despite being outnumbered by their troops, but still using the wolf pack strategy.
This kind of damage may not be much for the entire army once or twice, but in the end, the accumulated value is considerable. That was the first time that Shuya realized that if she continued to push deeper into the earth like this, the alien rebels would bite the army to pieces like wolves. Unable to do so, Xiuya restrained the army and stopped advancing in a hurry. Instead, they set up a stronghold in the area under their control, intending to advance with heavy troops, and use dense forces to make the opponent's wolf pack strategy useless.
At the same time, the Blood Rider sent an elite force to hunt down the girl with long silver hair, led by Xiuya.
But on the black earth, this silver is as elven as elf-like. The girl constantly used guerrilla methods to lead Xiuya's team around the black earth, and in the process, the girl attacked Xiuya's team from time to time. And she resolutely does not touch strong people like Xiuya and the like, and specializes in attacking subordinate personnel. A successful blow was far away, and in the complex jungle environment of the Black Land, even Xiuya could not intercept her, let alone contain her on the battlefield she had designated.
And so it goes, months at a time. When Xiuya returned to the stronghold, she found that only she and two high-level blood riders were left in the team she had brought out, and the rest of the people were actually killed by her in the process of chasing and killing Moni.
After that, Xiuya marched forward. But at this time, the girl's figure began to be active in the enemy's camp again, and in the following time, the two fought one after another I don't know how many times, during which the winners and losers were half. By the time Shuya received the council's use of troops against Valhalla, her army had only advanced three hundred kilometers from its original stronghold. At this insignificant distance, she had been in a stalemate with the alien rebels for more than a year, something she had never thought of when she marched into the Black Lands.
The most critical reason is naturally the obstruction of the silver-haired girl. And that touch of silver also won her the title of Silver Ranger.
The picture of the memories flashed by, and Xiuya said coldly: "Are you finally willing to roll out of the black earth? This is not a jungle, you can leave your life behind!"
The blood-stained girl showed a mouthful of white teeth: "If you can do it, my sister can come." As he spoke, he kicked the blade lightly, and the blade of the gun bounced. The girl staggered her hands and held the handle of the gun in a whirlwind, pulling out a perfect circle.
The suction power rose sharply, pulling the nearby rubble, corpses, and Shuya towards Moni.
"Storm of guns?" Xiuya and her are also old rivals, and as soon as Moni moves, she knows what her opponent is going to do. When both hands were pressed down, the elemental power slammed into the ground and Shuya flew up, spilling out of Mony's skill attack range.
So the "storm" that was ready to go could only disperse, the gravitational pull disappeared, and everything fell back to the ground.
In mid-air, Xiuya's hands stretched out, as if caressing her lover's face. Her movements were so gentle, but after being caressed by Xiuya's hands, a frost spear appeared in the air, and then shot at Moni one after another! As the frost lance flew, a dreamy blue flame rose from the tip of the spear, and the blue flame of light flashed past the frost lance in an instant, turning into a pale blue beam of lightning. Elementalize the Frost Gun, doubling its speed and power. Moni didn't dare to take it lightly, and the death assault swept away, and two beams of light flew away.
Two beams, one striking the ground, the other sinking into the nearby building. But more beams were shooting at Moni, who moved nimbly, and her figure kept flashing on the ground. She calmly avoided each beam, her figure moving forward and retreating like a ghost. Although the beam that Shuya ejected was numerous, it was not dense enough to restrain Moni.
So Moni wandered between the gaps in the beams, and at the most dangerous time, even a beam of light was less than 1 cm away from her body!
In the blink of an eye, Xiuya had already shot all the frost guns, and her body had just begun to fall to the ground. Wanting to organize another wave of attacks, Xiu Ya's heart moved, and her head slammed to the left. On the wall of the building on the left, two spots of crimson lit up in the dim space, and then a huge shadow rushed in.
The wind is broken, and the air is agitated!
Xiuya turned around quickly, and couldn't care about Moni anymore. With the wave of his hands, hundreds of ice chips whizzed away, followed by hundreds of frost guns and four or five frost rays!
With a lion-like body and a pair of eagle wings, the beastly Girutan roared and pounced on the nebula. But just as he was about to collide, he suddenly flew vertically into the sky, and another turn bypassed Xiuya.
Xiuya's face suddenly became rather ugly, and she glanced sharply at Moni's position. Sure enough, the figure of the beast swept by. Moni had already jumped on top of it, Girutan flapped her wings away, and Moni still had time to wave goodbye to Xiuya.
Xiuya was stunned, and then roared: "Stinky girl, I will definitely catch you!"
Unfortunately, such a threat pales in comparison. Xiuya fell to the ground, and with a wave of her hand, a frost gun pinned a living corpse that was not yet dead to a nearby lamppost. She reluctantly looked in the direction the pair had gone before sighing softly. With a snap of his fingers, an ice golem appeared. Xiuya found a fairly clean place to sit down, watching the ice golem pull up the off-road vehicle trapped in the roadbed little by little.
Suddenly, a charming smile appeared on Xiuya's face. She stretched and said, "That's fine, it seems that this journey won't be too lonely." ”
Under the night sky, Girutin flew out of Juan with Moni and flew for another 10 minutes before descending to the ground. Coming to mid-air less than ten meters above the ground, Moni jumped. Girutan also lifted his beast transformation, his wings scattered into thousands of flying feathers, his body continued to shrink, and when he landed again, he had become a naked teenager. Next to the two, their off-road vehicles were quietly parked.
Lala's chubby body came out of the car and saw Moni screaming with joy. Bounced quickly to Moni's side, and smelled the blood on the girl's body, Lara bounced off a little more, with a look of disgust. looked at Lala, and then watched the boy take back his cloak from the car and cover his body, covering his body. Moni said, "You were thoughtful and drove the car out in advance." ”
"Get used to it. The boy grinned, then jumped into the buggy and threw himself into the back seat. In just a few moments, the sound of continuous breathing was already heard.
Moni didn't say anything, just slammed her scabbard a little on the ground. Suddenly, a green wind lan appeared out of thin air from under her feet, and the wind lan blew all over her body, blowing away the dirty blood of the Ripper on her body, leaving not even a single odor.
Her long silver hair fluttered again in the night, and Moni grabbed Lara and threw her back into the car, then jumped into the driver's seat herself. Placing the Death Assault aside, Moni started the car. So two pillars of light appeared in the night, and after a sound of the engine running, the off-road vehicle drove crookedly again.
Drive to the place of knowledge under the night.
The night is deep, but even the deepest night is gone. So at that time, the dawn quietly came. When a light rises on the eastern sea, it indicates that a new day has arrived. On the sea surface of the Western Continent, the blue sea reflects the skylight, and from a distance, it looks like pieces of broken white porcelain. But as the sky grew, the porcelain tiles joined together, and finally formed a continuous ray of light on the horizon.
The light is continuous, not to mention thousands of miles.
By the time the first light passed through the window, Zero was fully dressed. Pushing open the door, looking up at the pillar of Dao light that kept shooting down from behind the radiation cloud, Zero stretched his waist. Then his expression became serious and cold, and the leisurely days had passed. Months have passed since the Battle of Roaring Bay, and all the wounded have largely healed. The preparation of materials and the training of personnel have also come to an end.
Today is the time to set sail again. But this time, the end point is not in the sea, but on the western continent.
Zero looked in the direction of the port, which was crowded with people.
When they arrived at the port, members of the Poseidon Order and Trident arrived one after another. Then there is the group of people with zero own abilities, as well as the three captains of Cinderella, plus Mr. X and Mamiro, and the combat power gathered on the Sea House is unprecedentedly strong.
Zero looked at the excited faces and said lightly: "Everyone, it's finally time for this moment." There are many things I want to say, but now I want to say the most. It's going to be a tougher battle than Roaring Bay, and I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know how many people will be able to get back here. The Papal Chamber is certainly ready, but I'm sure it won't be long. Our flag can be planted on the land of our homeland, now let me take you."
"Go home!"
With a strong wave of his hand, he pointed in the direction of the Western Continent.
The next moment, everyone roared.
"Go home!"
"Go home!"
At eight o'clock in the morning, the harbor of the Sea House was a busy scene. Supplies and ammunition were loaded onto several supply ships, while the Walrus and Mamiro's ships sailed out of port first. The two large ships will have to leave through the Devil's Passage, while the others will leave through the Whisperers Channel, and after this departure, as Zero said, I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know how many people will return alive.
But no one hesitated anything, this voyage had a completely different meaning for them than before. Although the island is also their home, it is not really home. The real home is on the western continent, on the islands ruled by Sauron. The road home is naturally not a smooth road, but even if it is full of thorns, it can't stop them from missing home.
It's just that in the past, going home was just a distant dream. Today, however, Zero gives them hope.
As long as there is hope, the heart will not sink! As long as there is hope, there will be the motivation to overcome obstacles. Even if the road is to be dyed red with blood, they will not hesitate to do it.
Because these people have been away from home for too long.
After nine o'clock, all the supplies were loaded, and the huge fleet sailed away from the Sea House. Bidding farewell to the pirate's second home for a while, everyone silently said goodbye to the sea house on the ship, their hands on their chests, and sang the sea god's sacrifice song in unison. This is a war song that can only be sung at the Poseidon Festival, and it is a song sung to commemorate the people who died at sea, and to bless their souls to enter the kingdom of the Poseidon.
And now, a short, desolate song of sacrifice sounded on the sea. Even if they are from different continents, they are also moved by the hearing of Zero and others.
Three days passed quietly.
Another dawn has dawned in Fasiro.
Such a dawn is nothing special for the city, Facero was built only in the last ten years, and in the history of the Western Continent, Facero belonged to a young city. The city is young, and naturally glows with extraordinary energy. Because of the strong sea breeze facing the harbor. Most of the buildings in Fasero are two- or three-storey buildings, but there is a row of windmills erected on the side of the sea.
Windmills are mainly used to generate electricity from the wind, which is the main source of energy for Fasero.
Fareero has a square where a statue of Sauron is erected. The city's buildings surround the square, and four main thoroughfares divide the city into north, south, and northwest sections, each with the same number of streets dividing the city into neat squares. A ten-metre-high wall was built on the coastline of Facero, which acted as both a levee and a defense against the threat of artillery fire from the bay.
Pirates did not visit the city less, and the walls were mostly covered with traces of artillery fire. However, since the establishment of Facero, it has not been captured by pirates once, thanks to the Knights of the Holy Seal stationed not far from the city. Under the protection of these knights, Facero has lived through ten years of turbulent seas.
However, the Knights only stationed a force of three hundred men and ten paladin mechs in Facero on weekdays. Recently, however, the residents of Farzero have noticed that the city's army has suddenly increased. Not only did the full strength of the 4th Regiment pour into Farcelo, but the forces of other legions continued to converge from the path of fate.
For a time, the garrison of the Knights alone in the little Faceroli was nearly 3,000 people!
The large number of troops gave the residents a taste of war, and they also heard about the great battle that had taken place on Roaring Bay a month earlier. In the service, the Knights of the Papal Hall suffered heavy losses, and even lost two captains. And now that the Knights are stationed in large numbers, people are speculating whether the pirates are coming. It's not impossible, and as ridiculous as it sounds, who would dare to say that those daring people wouldn't?
So these days, the residents of Fatero stay at home honestly except for their usual work, when they have to go out for work. The heavily armed knights on the streets walked by from time to time, and their presence gave the inhabitants a sense of security.
Today's dawn was quiet, and on the city wall, two teams of soldiers were changing guards. It was at this time that a black dot appeared on the horizon of Facero. So the soldier on duty immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and immediately in the binoculars, a pirate ship jumped out. Behind that ship there were a dozen more medium-sized ships, and behind them was a row of dark shadows.
Pirates are coming!
The soldier immediately raised the alarm, and then looked closely, and he found that the pirate ships had all been replaced with uniform flags. Those flags are painted with the image of Poseidon, the god of the sea. Although the soldiers did not know what the pattern meant, the unified flag would only represent one meaning.
Army!
The pirates have been transformed into armies!
The commander of the 4th Division, Sine, who received the news, and the commander of the 11th Division, Yadifi, who rushed to support, came to the city wall together. The two legion commanders with very different temperaments both showed solemn expressions when they saw the unified banner of the pirates. Judging by the shadows of ships that appeared on the horizon, the incoming fleet numbered at least a hundred. Not much, but not easy to deal with.
Especially after the battle of Roaring Bay, the Papal Hall received information that there was an additional group of capable people on the pirate side. In this group, there are basically eighth-order, and there are even ninth-order capable people appearing. Such a group alone, if used well, will have a destructive power comparable to the combat power of one or two legions of the Knights!
At this time, the pirate fleet divided into ten ships to form a small group and headed towards Farcelo, and before they could enter the range of Farcelo's fire, the enemy fleet had already opened fire. It was just a round of fierce shots, and apart from being able to blow up a column of water on the sea in front of the pier, it did not pose a substantial threat to Facero at all.
But after a round of shelling, the pirates' daxiao came from the sea. Even though they couldn't hear them laughing because they were too far away, every soldier on the city wall felt a burning fire on their faces and anger erupted from their eyes.
There is no doubt that the pirates were mocking the defenders of Fatero, and that bombardment was a naked provocation!
Sine slowly turned the nameless ring on his tail finger and said lightly: "Since they are eager for war, then I will give them a war!"
