Chapter 654: I Slept Late Last Night
After completing all the maintenance work on the ships, Alicia arrived near the Isle of the Dead again with the expeditionary fleet. Originally, she thought that after the withdrawal of the coalition forces, the forces of the Dark Empire would take the island back without much effort, and re-establish a dense network of soldiers and hunters crawling on it, waiting for her arrival. But the truth turned out to be contrary to the girl's expectations, and the enemy did not fortify it in any way, as if the island had been abandoned by the other side.
Thinking that the enemy was playing some tricks, Alicia sent Icarus to scout the island, but not even guano was found on it. Perhaps the Dark Empire's current naval strength is indeed unable to confront the coalition forces head-on, but the strategic significance of this island is too important, so it has formed a speechless situation in which the coalition troops landed on the island and the Dark Empire protested with strong onlookers not far away.
Angel and Poison Island have once again landed on the Island of Death with a scientific research team, tasked with figuring out how the magic circle works. The Dark Empire's warships then tried to get close and harass with artillery bombardment, but there was an angel-shaped anti-submarine early warning aircraft in the sky that could never stop 24 hours a day, and their efforts were unsuccessful.
Due to the effects of the hurricane, the long-term standoff against the expeditionary fleet was not good, so Alicia once took the initiative to attack the enemy. But it was clear that the other side had no intention of fighting, and they retreated as soon as the coalition forces moved, and when the coalition forces returned to the vicinity of the island, they followed and stole their brains, which really made people hate it.
Three days later, Angel returned to Christaga with the research team.
In addition to Alicia and her two handsome men, who are good friends with each other, there are also Randy and Jura.
"How. Senpai. As soon as the group had taken a stand, Alicia stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Ask to return so soon." Isn't it possible that you have gained something?"
Hearing this, Angel smiled helplessly and shook her head: "I'm very sorry, Your Majesty." The experts told me that I couldn't do more sophisticated analysis with the simple tools I had available, and that it would be a waste of time to stay any longer, so I had to lead the team back. In addition, the research team has completed the recording and copying of the magic circle, and blew it into powder before leaving. β
"But the weather isn't getting any better, and we'll have to blow up more islands like this. Standing behind Angel, she kept a warm and healing smile and said lightly like Yamato Nadeshiko.
The people nearby couldn't help but fall into a state of collective horror for a moment. Alicia held her cheeks and made a stunned expression: "It's so scary, Sister Yanzi, you look so scary!"
"Don't make a fuss. Angel knocked the little queen on the head angrily and said, "Are there any unusual signs of the enemy's troops these days?"
"Absolutely. Those guys don't want to get around our defenses all the time, and then come at the island with a salvo of artillery fire that will blow you all into the sky. Alicia carefully held the dumb hair that had been crooked by Angel just now and replied, "But other than that, the other side has not made any big moves, and I don't see any intention of fighting us head-on." β
Francis answered in a timely manner: "But it is certain that the enemy is gathering forces near us. What should the other party be doing, it is better to be careful in the future. β
Hearing this, Angel turned to look sideways at Yura, who was standing quietly at the back of the line, and smiled and said, "Even so. They would never have thought Miss Jura was here. If you really dare to launch an attack on the fleet. In the end, it was definitely them who were unlucky. β
After everyone turned their eyes to themselves, the shy and weak soft girl quietly hid behind Randy with a slightly red cheek: "That, what, I'll try." β
Everyone was suddenly cute, but Randy, who was next to the girl, still had a very standard facial paralysis expression.
Alicia clenched her fist at the edge of her mouth and coughed gently, "Ahem! The cute show about the sick girl is still put aside first, let's discuss serious things." Through Icarus's reconnaissance these days, it has been discovered that the enemy is massing towards this sea area on a large scale, and it is very likely that we will fight to the death before we enter the sea area of the most critical super giant magic array. Jikerem, do you have anything to say?"
The admiral who was named put down his raised right hand and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive your stupidity. I don't quite understand what the point of the enemy doing this. Their combat power had suffered great losses in the previous battles, and now they should take the initiative to avoid the edge of the coalition fleet, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and the super giant magic array will definitely be very widely distributed. The enemy can use the time we scattered around to regain their strength, so that even if we manage to defuse the hurricane, the opponent's combat power should be almost restored. β
"What about the combat power of the Eastern Continent?"
"Huh?"
"If we finally succeed in destroying the magic array and lifting the hurricane weather, do you think the Tang Empire in the Eastern Continent will be watching the show in a daze across the sea instead of sending a fleet over to find out, and by the way, we will teach this country that has repeatedly attacked its coastline a lesson?" Without the cover of the hurricane, even with the support of the demons, how long do you think the Dark Empire can hold out under the combined attack of the Eastern and Western Continents?"
Randy nodded indifferently when he heard this: "Cutting off the connection between several continents and then breaking them one by one is the most critical part of the Demon Race's strategic goal of conquering Zollivan, if the magic array is destroyed and the hurricane disappears with it, it will be tantamount to a fundamental major blow to them if the Eastern and Western Continents get in touch again." Therefore, the other party will inevitably defend this super giant magic array with all his might. β
Alicia didn't pay too much attention to the handsome silver-haired guy's interjection, she looked around her hands and slightly slanted the corners of her mouth and said, "That's it." What we will face next will be the last madness of the enemy, who has gambled on all his national fortunes, and who is cautious and at the same time heroic and determined to move forward. Gradually expand our advantage and force the desperate opponent into a dead end!(Suddenly revert to the usual lazy expression), but before that, let's take a good rest. β
β...... That's my line. Angel covered her forehead and sweated violently.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
The coalition fleet continued to advance after bypassing the Isle of the Dead. The enemy, on the other hand, retreated at a distance while gathering forces, and at one point sent detachments to try to sneak up on the newly established maintenance base in the rear - a trick that really worked for the coalition forces, and surface warships that were not adequately maintained in a hurricane were like paper paste. However, Alicia is also well aware of the weakness of the fleet, and she does not hesitate to divide all the black-winged decadent birdmen and three-headed dragons on the Imrith to protect the unfinished fortified base, so that the enemy can only stare dryly.
Anyway, we don't have much else, it's just that there are more high-level troops than you!
Regarding the little queen's decision, Peacock Dance, who has been playing soy sauce on the Krista after entering the deep sea because the hurricane was too fierce to fly, expressed his dissatisfaction. But she couldn't help it. The wind outside is really terrible, the last time the little red female dragon who was friends with the night was accidentally blown away by the wind dozens of meters away when she took off from the deck, and the appearance of constantly rolling and making a terrible roar is just like the scene in the American funny animation.
And the harpy, who is light and soft, and her strength is not too strong, if she flies out. It will definitely disappear into the sky like a meteor in the blink of an eye, and it will never be found again......
Therefore, most banshees are bored and help the orderlies to do chores, and Peacock Dance is no exception. Now she was packing up the sheets that had been sorted out in each room and placed at the door, ready to be washed by the orderlies.
But when he walked outside a certain room, Peacock Dance couldn't help but frown: the basket at the door was empty. The sheets were not made out in advance like the occupants of other rooms.
"Tsk. It's really going to give me trouble. The banshee leader couldn't help but smack her lips, raised her sharp three-toed claws and knocked on the door and said loudly, "Hey, is there anyone inside?"
Silent.
No one. Peacock Dance tried to twist the doorknob, but didn't want the door to open in response: "Ah, it's not locked?, it's idle anyway, so let's change the sheets for these lazy people." I'll come to them later and ask for a service fee!"
Sister Mai, did you also take Elysia to the break!?
The handsome and beautiful banshee pushed open the door and walked in. As a result, he was immediately stunned - on the sofa in the center of the room sat a girl with long light blond hair, who seemed to be sleeping.
Ulla.
Peacock dancers naturally know each other. But she didn't expect that Yura was actually living in the cabin of an ordinary officer and soldier. Isn't it supposed to be the presidential suite where these guys with the protagonist's dedicated body live?
Walking forward, careful not to scratch the girl's smooth skin with its claws, Peacock Dance gently shook Yura's body and said, "Wake up." Hey, don't sleep big beauty, you didn't sleep enough before?"
No response.
Sure enough, it needs some strong stimulation. Peacock Dance took a deep and hard breath, and yelled at the girl in front of her, "If you don't get up again, I'll snatch your baby Randy away and do [beep!?"
The Harpy and Medusa have a unique behavior of snatching males of other races to breed offspring, but ...... That's only in spring and summer. It's too cold to make such a joke in the winter.
Obviously, Peacock Dance only intended to tease and scare the innocent, shy and weak but very strong girl in front of her, but the girl she was looking forward to screamed in her sleep "can't be like this" and jumped up from the sofa with a panicked cute expression on her face.
Jura was still asleepβno, more like unconscious than asleep.
Peacock Dance immediately became alert, and was about to flip Yura's body to examine her carefully when the door to the hidden room was opened.
The man standing outside was Randy, plus two soldiers watching over him.
"Miss Peacock Dance, what are you doing here?" Despite not being part of the elite troops under Elicia's command, the Harpy was still a formidable presence for ordinary soldiers. Coupled with the identity of the banshee leader of the Peacock Dance, the slightly older veteran on the left immediately asked respectfully.
"Don't you know if you read it, of course I'm collecting the sheets. Peacock Dance pointed to the large basket of messy sheets on the ground. "Since you didn't put out the sheets, and the door happened to be unlocked, I came in and planned to change it for you and charge a little service fee. β
β...... Actually, the last one is your purpose, right?"
"You have to take care of it!" Peacock Dance said angrily, and then said with a serious face, "Let's not talk about this, Yura's appearance seems to be a little strange, and no matter how much I call her from just now, she won't wake up." β
Randy stepped forward and gently stroked her lover's hair and said indifferently, "It's probably because she's too tired, we went to bed late last night." β
"Although I would love to look at you with great contempt, as if I were looking at scum. But it's not that simple. Peacock Dance was speechless for a while and said eagerly, "I yelled in front of her, but she still didn't react." It doesn't look like you're sleeping, does it?"
"That's the wrong way you shouted to get up. After Randy dropped a classic line that was almost like a complaint, and smashed Peacock Dance into embarrassment, he leaned down and whispered close to the girl's ear, "Yura, get up and eat dessert." β
A miracle happened. Yura, who had not moved in the harpy's angry shouts that were almost against her face, suddenly opened her eyes. His face was full of excitement and anticipation: "Do you want dessert!?
You're actually Cecilia's long-lost sister with a sweet tooth......
After seeing the thunderous expressions of the other people in the room, the girl, who seemed to realize what was happening, suddenly blushed her cheeks and screamed headlong into Randy's arms, "Woo, shame on you." I really want to find a hole in the ground to get into. β
Please think about us who were almost killed by you, hey!" Peacock Dance casually grabbed her fluffy blonde hair and shrugged, "Well, since it's not a big problem, let's trouble you two to clean up the sheets and let me wash them." Also, be sure to put it in the basket at the door next time?"
"Yes, I'm sorry for the trouble. β
After coming out of Yura and Randy's room, Peacock Dance unexpectedly meets someone in the laundry room who wasn't supposed to be there.
Elysia.
The orderlies who were in charge of washing the sheets were instantly terrified when they saw the little queen walk in with the sheets.
"Wait, wait!" said Peacock Dance, who had just put down the basket and was about to leave, and shouted to the blonde girl in a frenzy. "Why did you bring the sheets to wash yourself!?"
"Because no one has come to collect it. Alicia said with her head held high.
"Speaking of which, the hallway where your room is located is off-limits to unrelated persons, so it's not surprising that no one has gone over to take it away. Peacock Dance weakly raised his forehead with his hand. "But that's not the reason why you came here through countless corridors with the sheets in your arms, and the stunned eyes of the officers and soldiers, right?
Alicia didn't answer Peacock Dance's question, but casually handed the sheet to a soldier next to him with an expression of honor on his face, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth and said with a wicked smile: "Is it okay to put it close to your nose and smell it, or to carefully look for my hair on it as a collection or something?"
ββ!!The honor on his face instantly turned into a pain on his face, and the poor orderly couldn't help but spray all over the ground on the spot, almost fainting.
"You're enough!" Peacock Dance unceremoniously slammed a knife on the top of the girl's head, "You can wait until you get back and throw all your brains into the arms of that kid named Elijah, now let's live in peace for a while." β
The standard mode of holding the head and squatting to prevent tear-eyed injured small animals began to start, but the banshee leader gorgeously ignored it.
After accompanying Alicia to watch the orderly send the sheets into the water magic circle and start cleaning, Peacock Dance began to casually chatter, "Na, you know what? That girl named Yura is really exaggerated when she falls asleep. β
"Hah, how do you say that?"
"Just now......"
A few minutes later.
After listening to the general description of the Peacock Dance, Alicia nodded lightly: "I see, no matter how much others shout and scream, she won't wake up, did Randy wake her up with a word of 'eat dessert'? β
"Isn't it? Maybe that's the power of love in the legend. Peacock Dance sighed crossed, "But seeing Yura not react at all really scared me a lot, it felt as if she had hung up." β
"It hasn't been long since people woke up, and the big war is imminent, don't say such unlucky words. Alicia pursed her lips as if to get rid of all the bad luck, "It's probably true that as Randy said, they were so active last night that Yura was tired." Hawkers, after all, my girlfriend has been in a coma for so long, and now that she has finally recovered her health, it is understandable that she can't help but have a little passion with her. β
"Well, that's right. Let's go peep at night......"
"Dismissed!" (to be continued......)
