Chapter 958: Random and New Entrants
For Alicia, exams aren't a big deal, as the Garden of Hope is more practice-oriented. And even if the little queen really encounters a question that she can't do during the written test, she can also use the spiritual link to let the mercury lamp outside the exam room or Ba Asami help find the answer - of course, whether the chairman and the senior sister are willing to help her cheat or not will not be discussed. In short, the blonde girl is the type who can easily pass the exam without much revision, but her grades are only "passable".
Therefore, although the strongest student in Class A is considered to be Alicia, the best student with the best grades is Fabiano. It would have been crazy to have another teacher, but the little queen's mentor was Chrissy, and then ...... There is no then.
The blonde girl, who ushered in the summer vacation after successfully getting her report card, temporarily put aside her student status and became the noble little queen of the Birea Empire again. After saying goodbye to her worried friends, Alicia arrives in the heavily armed city of Paula, accompanied by Elijah, Michelle, William, and Imrith, and prepares to lead a massive assault on the Desperate Lands by the coalition forces.
This will be a battle that will determine the fate of the entire Dzollivan in the future, and it is also a battle predicted by a certain little Shota Prophet Stick that it is very likely to be defeated, and it is easy to imagine how great the pressure on Alicia is now is. Despite this, the girl still did not choose to back down, because she knew that if she withdrew, things would get worse.
Naturally, Mindal's prophecy was not made public, and only those who were in the soy sauce tribe that day were known. As a result, others, such as most of the Coalition non-commissioned officers, were simply excited about the massive and epic battle that was about to begin. There is no need to worry at all. After all, in their view, the concentration of all the forces of the coalition forces with great superiority to counterattack the Desperate Land is clearly a major event that will go down in history. Anyone who changes will feel extremely excited.
The morale of the Coalition officers and soldiers who were told by the upper echelons that they were going to attack the Land of Despair after assembling in Paula City was extremely high, and they all hoped that they would be able to go straight to the demon's lair and completely crush the enemy's forces and achieve final victory. The ubiquitous reporters soon smelled an unusual smell and flocked to Paulade City like a tidal wave, trying to dig up some scoops and super shocks.
For example, what kind of large-scale operation the coalition forces are about to launch, such as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Francis, who teased a few more girls on the beach today, such as what the latest more than ten frigate-type air warships will look like. For example, what style and color is the fat dress worn by the little queen Elysia who is scheduled to arrive in Paulolai City with these warships today...... Well, that doesn't count.
In short, anything that can catch everyone's attention is the object of attention of reporters, no matter how outrageous. And as long as it is the focal point, there will definitely be these people. No matter how heavily guarded they were, they couldn't stop them.
The magic teleportation array connected to Baolai City and all parts of the Western Continent is located in the basement of the Mage Association in the city, and in addition to the guards arranged by the association, the city lord also specially arranged a team of elite soldiers to protect it. Given the prestige and power of the Mage Guild (don't forget that the Rez Cup is organized by the Guild), no one would come here hungry to find trouble, even if there were occasional malicious spies who wanted to wreak havoc. The magicians left behind in the guild are not the kind of three-legged cats that can be sent away casually.
Journalists have never been very interested in teleportation arrays. But today is an exception.
After Alicia and her entourage emerged from the teleportation array, the head of the Paulair City branch of the Mage Guild immediately greeted her with the city lord and bowed respectfully to her.
"Well, we don't like to be too polite, so let's stop here. Alicia waved her hand casually, then tilted her head with a look of pain and confusion on her face and asked, "Now, I think I hear a lot of people running in the corridor outside. Did something happen?"
The expression on the face of the person in charge suddenly became quite exciting, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no, no." Nothing. You don't have to worry at all, Your Majesty. Sa, Lord Francis and the rest of the military are waiting for you outside, please go this way......"
This guy is definitely hiding something, the blonde girl pursed her lips slightly, but she didn't expose it, turned around and nodded at everyone and led everyone to follow the person in charge and walked outside.
There are many relief paintings on the walls of the corridor of the Mage Guild, telling thrilling stories, from the ancient war of gods and demons to the recent resistance to the rebellion of the Protoss in the Western Continent. Along the way, looking at the image of herself that often appears in several modern deeds at the end of the relief painting, Alicia suddenly felt a faint pain for no reason.
[Looking at the figure of myself in this kind of relief painting that records history, I always feel as if I have become ancient.] γ
The embarrassed Alicia was about to say something, but the footsteps at the end of the corridor grew louder and louder, and there was a series of frenzied shouts with a hint of pain.
"Stop!
"Hurry up and stop, or we're going to use force!"
With the sound of something knocking to the ground, the shouting turned into a heavy muffled sound of a human falling and a wail of pain, crashing into the hallway.
The black lines and cold sweat on the head of the person in charge were already clearly visible, but he still forced a calm smile and turned around and made a gesture of invitation to the indifferent Alicia: "Come, over here." β
"Wait a minute, please. Even though Alythea, her bound sister-in-law, and William all remained silent and pretended that nothing had happened, the outspoken Elijah couldn't help but point in the direction of the voice and said, "It's clear that something is going on over there, isn't it really okay to leave it alone?"
Alicia decisively took the black-haired boy's hand and patted his arm and said, "Husband's, Elijah." The journalists of the Western Continent are the ultimate beings who are pervasive and omniscient. They should have known that we would be arriving in Paulade City today, and they are now trying to break through the guards to come and conduct interviews. Most of the sounds you heard just now were from reporters and guards fighting each other. β
"Uh, Ellie. Don't you think that kind of superjournalist is a bit exaggerated?"
"Who said that. Not an exaggeration at all. Like Uncle Snake, who is obviously full of muscles but likes to sneak into a small citrus box to sneak into confidential places to get exclusive news materials, or a certain monster cute girl with black wings who usually walks around the world with a fan camera and flowers, do you dare to say that they are not out-of-specification existences?"
Although it sounded like this, looking at the strange expression on the face of his beloved beautiful girl, the boy decided not to believe it easily.
At that moment, a petite female figure burst out from the corner of the hallway, and almost instantly made up her mind and made a startling moveβshe flew up and kicked the knight's armor next to her, causing it to lose its center of gravity and creak down to its side.
The woman's speed is fast. Before the armor could hit his body, the soles of his feet were smeared with oil like lightning, and the guards who were chasing after him were not so lucky, as they had barely had time to see what was in front of them before they could turn the corner, and the armor had already fallen and hit the foot.
In the midst of earth-shattering rumbling movements. Alicia couldn't help but shrink her neck and close her eyes, waiting until everything was quiet before opening them again.
A few of the hapless guards were already lying on the ground with crooked eyes, and the culprit's armor had been torn apart to look like a pair of broken blocks, and the female reporter who had been hunted down had already arrived in front of the little queen and her party. Extremely excited, his eyes lit up as he stared at the blonde girl, squirting heavily. But he didn't say a word.
"Well, I don't give interviews right now......"
Before Alicia, who was dripping in a cold sweat, could finish speaking, the human female reporter in her twenties and quite agile over there couldn't help but pounce decisively and hugged the embarrassed little queen fiercely, her cheeks crimson and desperately rubbed against the former's golden hair: "Woo, ah, although I have seen many photos, but in comparison, real people are much cuter! Such a beautiful and delicate Queen, I really want to bring it back and dress up beautifully with all kinds of clothes and then hug and roll the sheets!"
"Where did you come from, Uncle Loricon, who is keen on cosplay!?" Alysia, who couldn't break free, finally burst out with a light blue arc of electricity and knocked the woman over before she got out, and after a long sigh of relief, she turned her head to look at the person in charge next to her with a painful expression on her face and said, "This is the security measure you arranged in advance? Should I sigh that the reporters in the Western Continent are too tough, or should I be glad that the demon's spies are too incompetent?"
β...... I'm sorry. β
The little queen didn't really mean to ask. She waved her hand casually and said nonchalantly, "Well, it's like this anyway." It's useless to say anything. Let's go meet up with Francis and the others, or we'll be really blocked by the reporters later. β
"So, what about this female reporter?"
"Naturally, she will take it with her and do an exclusive interview. Alicia smiled wickedly at the corners of her mouth, "As the first reporter to rush in front of me, I must give her a little special reward." β
The woman who seemed to have been stunned couldn't wipe off the scorched marks on her body, and immediately turned over and sat up, extremely excited: "Is it true!? Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
After squinting at her and being silent for a few seconds, the blonde girl, who unconsciously remembered an acquaintance, decisively launched another electric shock, turning the other party into a smoking mosaic.
ββββββββββββββββββI'm a dividing lineββββββββββββββββββ
Although Angel is Alicia's personal guard and follower, she still doesn't make the list of members of the team to greet the little queen. However, the maiden knight also knew that her rank was not high, even if she was Elixia's guard, there were many high-ranking officers lined up above. Therefore, Angel sat quietly in the living room of the naval base with the Golden Shadow and the others, drinking tea and waiting, she knew that the little queen would definitely come to meet her and the others in the end.
Sure enough, it wasn't long after the noise and noise outside had quieted down. The door to the living room was pushed open, and the leader of the way was none other than the beautiful little blonde queen.
"Her Majesty. Angel and the others hurriedly got up and saluted the girl, but the young knight's eyes were immediately attracted by a charred black humanoid mosaic object in the hand of Elija, who was following closely behind Alicia. "Well, isn't that a ...... Li Huayin?"
"I guessed wrong, no prize. Alicia grinned and sat down on a couch and said, "But there are many similarities between the two of them, so it's okay to leave them alone." β
After glancing at a mosaic of unknown body that was casually thrown into the corner by the black-haired boy, Angel decisively chose not to pay attention to the other party, turned her head to look at the little queen and said, "All in all." It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Majesty. You're about to graduate if you calculate the time, and life flies really fast. I really didn't expect it. It's time for a decisive battle with a demon. β
After motioning for everyone to sit down, Alicia leaned back on the sofa a little lazily, raised Erlang's legs, and pressed her fist against her cheek and said, "Although it is a little inappropriate to call it a decisive battle, it is also true in another sense. Sister Angel, although I am more interested in the progress between you and Senior Dibes. But let's take a look at the fighter unit first. Lace news or something, I'll inquire later. β
"I really haven't made much progress with him......" Angel said with a slightly embarrassed scratch of the bridge of her nose and her head down. Then he suddenly straightened out, "Regarding the fighter units on the Dawn, the number of fuselages and the proficiency of the pilots have improved a lot, but they are still not enough. I would like you to approve the construction of two more aircraft carriers, four air warships, as well as corvettes of the corresponding size, so that the fleet will have an advantage in a large-scale battle with demons in the future. β
"In short, the fleet is too small now, right?" Alicia smacked her lips a little in pain, "There's no way around it, most of the area of Drowlivan is the ocean. It is impossible for the coalition forces to completely abandon the development of surface ships and spend all their funds on the creation of air warships. Moreover, the manufacture of air warships is quite time-consuming, and it is impossible for the Grand Fleet or something to be done in one hand. But about this battle, Senior Sister Anqi, you don't have to worry. Because it is much easier and faster to build a surface ship. β
Jikrem, who thought that his fleet was only responsible for opening up sea routes, was immediately curious when he heard this: "Uh, may I ask Your Majesty, what do you mean by that? Could it be that there is some special new type of ship to join the surface fleet of the alliance?"
"Ah, of course. The blonde girl nodded affirmatively, "The advent of the warplanes has given the Alliance greater air superiority, but they don't have the ability to travel long distancesβin short, these big birds need large vehicles for carrying and replenishing to be effective in the vast expanses of the sea and land. There's nothing to worry about building a ground airfield on land, but what about the ocean?"
"Hmm, using the island?" said Jikrem with a deep groan, frowning, "No, it will increase the amount of supplies that need to be replenished regularly, and that kid Dibis will definitely go crazy about it." So it's supposed to be a battleship, right?"
Imrith, who was sipping tea next to her, couldn't help but squirt out a puff.
Hearing this, Alicia almost lost her center of gravity and planted herself on the sofa, and she hurriedly adjusted her sitting posture and said, "What, it seems that Senior Dibes has a lot of resentment about the supply mission." Well, anyway, let's not mention this, there are indeed three new ships that have been officially launched this time to join the surface fleet. They are the same design concept as the Aurora, they do not have great protection and firepower, they are large and conspicuous, and because they do not have the ability to fly, they can easily sink by fire, and need to be carefully protected by other warships. β
"Uh, Masaka......"
"Yes, a revised version of the Dawn that has been stripped of its flight capabilities and weakened some of its protection. The little queen got up and walked up to Jikerem, patted her subordinates on the shoulder and said, "Three surface aircraft carriers can provide three times the air power of the Dawn, whether it is to conduct air battles, seize air superiority, or bomb the enemy fleet, and control the sea. I didn't build a new ironclad or refurbish the old one some time ago, but I actually saved the money and used it for it. If so, just lie down at our feet and worship me!"
The upright Jikerem didn't realize that Alicia was just joking, he stood up decisively and knelt down without hesitation, and was about to bow to the embarrassed little queen who had five thunders, when the mercury lamp next to him, who finally couldn't stand it, decisively stepped forward and waved an artifact-level feather fan and slapped it on the girl's head: "You girl, give me enough time!"
"It's a real disappointment, I almost made Uncle Jikrem fall under our pomegranate skirt. Alicia covered her head in displeasure and pouted.
"Are you planning to make the whole world fall under your pomegranate skirt and then form some kind of organization similar to the LL cult?
"Hey, hey, LL isn't a cult, right?" Alicia, who was dripping in cold sweat, wiped her forehead and said, "Well, anyway, with the addition of these three aircraft carriers and their carrier-based aircraft, there should be no problem in naval battles......" (To be continued......
