[Christmas is here, and before I know it, another year has passed.] It's been a year and a half in Zongheng, and I would like to thank you for your continued care. In the coming days, please support me a lot. Zuihou is, Merry Christmas to everyone!]

The hillside is not high, and there are some stubborn bushes growing barely. The buggy could not climb up, so Shagut jumped out of the car and walked up with four soldiers. On the hillside, a fire was still burning brightly, and on it stood the hind legs of some kind of beast, the fat hind legs had been peeled and roasted to a golden brown, but there was not much meat left on the legs.

There was still juice dripping from time to time, so there was a sizzling sound in the fire, and the smell of meat wafting over made the soldiers who had not yet eaten swallow.

Beside the fire sat two men and a strange creature, and aside from the little beast that was round like a leather ball, the two men were not very old, both young men and women of fifteen or sixteen years of age. Shagut first looked at the boy sitting on his right, with brown hair and dark skin, who was destroying the barbecue, ignoring his own people. On the left, the girl stood up, her long silver hair dancing gently in the night breeze, and her pretty face, full of youthful vitality, showed a healthy flush. The tight-fitting shirt outlines the graceful curves, the slender and tight legs under a pair of denim shorts, and the lace-up flat leather boots make the whole person look very energetic.

"Good evening, sir. The girl nodded and smiled.

Shagut quickly glanced around, there was no cover nearby, and it seemed that the two men had no other companions. Beside him is a cape with a hood, the outer layer of the cloak is made of composite fiber, and the inner lining is tarpaulin. The quality of such a cloak is not bad, windproof and rainproof, and sometimes it is a simple floor shop when it is laid on the ground in the wild. Judging by the multiple wear and tear on the surface of the cloak, they have been in use for quite some time, and it seems that both men are travelers.

In addition to their cloaks, both of them had a backpack by their side. The backpack should be bulging and should contain the supplies used on the journey. There were no weapons, only something like a long root wrapped in a tarp next to the girl. From the silhouette, it looks less like a firearm and more like an aid like a cane.

Seeing this, Shagut could basically judge that there was no danger in these two people.

He sat down on the edge of the fire and said, "Good evening, what are you doing here?"

The girl said obediently, "That's right, sir. My brother and I were on our way to join a distant relative, and we happened to follow here. It's not early to see the sky, so here is a fire to grill and eat. Would you like some? Oh, look at me, we've almost eaten enough. ”

"It doesn't matter. Shagut licked her lips, and the girl looked prettier in the firelight. Especially the legs that are longer than ordinary girls, the skin on them is so tight and elastic. Shagut suddenly felt like a fire burning in his belly, he took two deep breaths and said, "It's dangerous to spend the night in the wilderness, we have a transit base here, you can go back with us for the night." ”

"How embarrassing is this, my brother and I"

Before the girl could finish speaking, Shagut interrupted, "You didn't hear me clearly. I'm talking about you, not this kid and that strange creature. ”

The boy was still eating when he heard this, but the ball-like creature looked at Shagut and made a protesting sound.

"Well, that's not going to work. My brother and I are dependent on each other, and we will never be separated no matter what. The girl sighed.

Shagut Haha smiled and said, "I didn't say you could refuse! Stay with me tonight, Lao Tzu won't treat you badly. If you don't agree, then after I kill your brother and this strange creature, you probably won't object, right?"

The girl still smiled and said, "That's not okay." But I have another suggestion. ”

"We're going to be a long way from here, and it's not impossible to walk through it this way, but it would be nice if we had a car to get around. I would also like to thank the commanders for giving us this means of transportation, and as a thank you, I suggest you leave now. I wonder what the chiefs think?"

Shagut was stunned, thinking he had misheard. He stood up, and the four soldiers behind him immediately dispersed, and they were trained to raise their rifles and aim them at the pair of teenagers beside the fire.

"It looks like you're not going to take my advice, so you're going to have to give up. Xiao Ji, do it. The girl said succinctly.

Shagut looked at the boy, but the boy had disappeared in place. The barbecue, which still had a circle of tooth marks, remained in the air and slowly fell. Shagut's heart was shocked, and he was looking for the boy's trace. Suddenly, I felt a sinking on my shoulder, and when I looked at it again, the young man jumped on his shoulder at some point. With a strong step, he pounced on the soldiers behind him.

Then he struck a blow to each of the four soldiers with his fists and feet, one punching the chest and the other kicking the cheek. The boy was agile, and with a punch and kick, he fell back to the ground, and he walked past Shagut, picking up the rotten barbecue on the ground with a look of pity.

Shagut couldn't react, and the four soldiers behind him were also confused. The boy's attack was fast, but it didn't seem to be strong, and they didn't feel the slightest pain.

"It's a good skill, but it's a pity that it's a fist and a leg, little ghost. Shagut smirked.

The girl picked up the long strip on the ground and said with a smile: "That's not the case, if you are hit by Xiaoji's explosion, ordinary people will die." ”

The words fell, and four muffled sounds sounded behind Shagut in a row. He looked back and saw that the four soldiers had been attacked had exploded, and blood and bone fragments had exploded from their bodies. Even the screams were missing, and the soldier fell to the ground, becoming four corpses in different postures.

Shagut ran over, his face very ugly. The soldier's wound showed signs of explosion from the inside out, the muscles and blood vessels in the wound were blurred, and even the bones were blown apart. Judging from the condition of the wounds, the young man should have injected his own energy into their bodies while attacking them just now, and then delayed the explosion like a grenade, thus causing fatal damage from the body.

This kind of technique is no longer something that ordinary people can use. Only then did Shagut notice that under the firelight, there was not even a trace of mutant organization visible on the two teenagers.

In other words, they are also capable people!

"Damn, careless?" Shagut stood up, his body getting hotter and hotter, and even his right hand burned. A scorching flame appeared in his hand, and Shagut sneered, "But it doesn't matter, but kill four soldiers, don't think I'm rubbish like them!"

"You know, you know, the chief is a capable person. Unfortunately," the girl grinned, pulling off the tarp that had wrapped the strip around it, revealing an exaggerated-looking sword.

Shagut estimated that the long sword, still in its sheath, was nearly two meters long, and it looked even taller than the girl herself. The hilt alone is 30 centimeters, which is already the length of the hilt of a two-handed wide sword. But the width of the sword body is about the same as that of an ordinary one-handed sword, and it really looks like a strange long sword.

"Unfortunately, there are more than a hundred of those who have died under my death assault, especially the blood riders of your Dark Council. The girl said lightly.

The teenager corrected, "136 to be exact. ”

"You remember it clearly. The girl said.

A cold sweat finally broke out on Shagut's forehead, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"No one here will know us, but in the Black Lands, someone should know about me Moni and Girutan. As she spoke, the girl slapped one hand on the scabbard.

The scabbard of the long sword, called Death Assault, immediately flicked out and went straight into the night sky.

"Black earth, you're from that hellish earth?"

He naturally knew what was in the black land, and he also knew what it meant to be able to enter and leave it!

"Deceptive. By the way, it must be a lie. How could a little ghost like you haunt that land? It's so risky, I almost fooled you. This will not work, I have to punish you, and let you become a barbecue!" Shagut shouted, raising his right hand in the air.

The flame in his hand burned even brighter.

"Scareless? It's funny. ”

Moni leaned forward suddenly, put her right foot on the ground, and suddenly stepped into a circle of air.

The man slid straight in, pulling out a series of afterimages of movement behind him. The ground even cracked under the strong currents of air carried by her toes, forming a straight crack.

That's the first thing that came to Shagut's mind. It's also the thought of zuihou.

When the idea first came to mind, Moni had already come to her side. The dragging sword on the ground reflected the firelight and pulled out a cold light and swept across Shagut's waist, and the longsword brought a strong shockwave that created another crack in the ground.

After slashing Shagut, Moni continued to glide forward, reaching a distance of ten meters before stopping.

Then the sword pointed to the sky, just in time for the falling scabbard.

The sword is sheathed.

Behind him, Shagut let out an earth-shattering scream.

A large puddle of hot blood gushed out from his waist, and at the same time his vitality flowed out. Then the flame in his hand gradually extinguished, and with doubt and reluctance, the fallen angel fell to the ground. His blood quickly seeped into the cracks in the ground, and as Moni slid in a straight line and slashed horizontally, a cross crack in the ground was gradually stained red by Shagut's blood.

If this is the case, you will know when you see this blood cross that it is the traces of someone's signature technique "cross dance step". It's a pity that now, Xiuya is still enjoying her hot bath in Phoenix City, a hundred miles away.

The hillside was quiet again, except for the sound of cracked dead wood as it had been burned through the fire.

The next day, the patrol team found their bodies at the transit base, and the off-road vehicle driven by the team could not be found. However, through the monitoring system, the base soon found that the signal of the off-road vehicle was driving straight to the west. When the signal is out of the scope of the monitoring system, it disappears completely.

On the same day, outside Phoenix, a modified and rugged off-road vehicle also headed west.

In the car, Xiuya's long blue hair showed its true colors in the wind.

She also drove west.

————~\(≧▽≦)/~Lalala, I'm the dividing line————

On the same day, a loud trumpet sounded in the sea area of the Xizhou Continent.

In the bitter sea breeze, a banner of the Knights of the Holy Seal was fluttering in the wind. The white flag flew like a holy flame. There was a gaze staring at the flame, and gradually, that gaze began to burn.

The owner of the sight is a middle-aged officer, with a square face under a bald head, eyes under thick eyebrows that shoot sperm, flying flags reflected in the pupils, and eyes full of deep feelings. The moustache trimmed with a mould on his chin was the most heyday of his life, and the muscles of his whole body were well-defined, making the uniform of the Knights of the Holy Seal on his body look too tight, as if it would crack the officer's muscles at any moment.

Footsteps rang out on the deck behind, and then a soldier reported, "Colonel Madel, all the officers above the rank of second lieutenant have been assembled!"

The middle-aged officer nodded: "Got it." He turned and strode into the cabin.

Pushing open the door of the war room, the war room was already packed. The lowest rank among these people is second lieutenant, and they represent the entire chain of command of the fleet at the moment. Among them, Mader is undoubtedly the highest rank, as the deputy commander of the third regiment, and also the commander-in-chief of this fleet of three knights. As soon as Mader entered, he caught the attention of all the officers.

"Salute!"

After saluting each other, Madr looked at everyone and said, "Guys, today we will enter the Whisperer Strait. Once we have crossed this channel, our fleet will be able to gallop over the Roaring Bay tomorrow, exposing the pirates' nest to our fire. However, I have to remind you that today is going to be an uphill battle. ”

"As you saw yesterday, the pirates have given out warning signs. This is their territory, and they will surely meet our army in the Whisperer Strait. After all, the Whisperers Strait is the only battlefield they can defeat us, and once we break through the Strait and enter the Gulf, they have no chance of anything. So what can be said is that the pirates must be ready to fight in the strait by now. ”

Mader said, and the officers below showed nervous expressions, only the lieutenant colonels who had been fighting pirates for many years were expressionless.

"But ladies and gentlemen, our captains have made their way to the Devil's Passage, and will arrive at Roaring Bay in three days' time. So in any case, today we must break through the Whisperers Strait. Otherwise, when the three captains arrive in the bay, we are still entangled in the strait, then we are not worthy of being knights! For the flag of the Order to fly on the roaring bay! To let the pirates know our determination this time! For the sake of justice and justice in the Pope Chamber, today we can only win and not lose!"

Madr yelled, "Now tell me, knights. Are you ready? Remember the sacred vows you made when you became a full-fledged knight. We can give our blood and our hearts for the papal chamber at any time, so answer me, are you ready to go to war?"

All the officers shouted in unison: "Ready!"

"Let's go, then!" Madr slapped his palm on the table.

Ten minutes later, the whistle of warships sounded outside the Whisperer Strait, and then the warships lined up and headed towards the Whisperer Strait. Standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, Madr said loudly to the adjutant, "Pass my orders, the Whisperers Strait has a limited width and can only allow one ship to pass through, so it will be the best place for pirates to meet our army." Let the armored forces come forward, they will serve as the vanguard of our army. It's our sword, cut off all the interception lines for me!"

"Yes, Colonel. The adjutant immediately gave the order.

Madr stared at the entrance to the strait that was already close in front of him, and said to himself: "It's finally time for the general attack on the pirates. I've been waiting for this moment for too long!"

At the same time that the fleet of the Knights began to march towards the Whisperer Strait, on the high ground of the Strait, Kaede put down the binoculars and said with a smile: "The knights have come here, go and inform the deputy captain to let them prepare, we have to work." ”

Behind Kaede, a soldier nodded quickly, turned and ran away. So there was only one person left on the high ground, and when the wind blew, he said lazily: "Franklin, this guy really assigned me a good task, isn't it better to cut off the follow-up ships?"

He looked at his palm: "Forget it, I'm doing it alone anyway." Then it's okay to use the liliang of the hand of God, in this way, it will save a lot of trouble. ”

In the middle of the strait, in a hidden location. Franklin received a notice that the enemy fleet was approaching this side of the strait, and the faces of several soldiers next to him looked a little nervous. And no wonder they were, though for the other pirates, the Destiny had an incredible number of members. But now they had to face an entire army, a fleet of three knights, hundreds of warships alone, and at least more than 5,000 enemy troops. This is a confrontation with huge numbers, especially the enemy army and power armored forces, which is undoubtedly a huge psychological pressure for the soldiers of the Destiny.

"It's okay. Franklin said suddenly.

The soldiers looked at the captain in amazement.

To be honest, Franklin feels more secure than Zero, because he's there. It's just that the soldiers on the Destiny are very aware of Zero's abilities, especially yesterday, when the news came that Zero had finished the Seagod Order and taken the command of all the pirates, the soldiers were like gods. Otherwise, it would be really hard to put a counterweight on Franklin, the captain.

But in the past few days, in order to plan a fleet to meet the Knights, Franklin has formulated a complete set of jihua, which also impresses the soldiers. Now, soldiers, including Kaede, wear headsets that are suitable for shortwave communication, so that Franklin can be at altitude for real-time combat situations. So now everyone hears Franklin's voice.

"According to our Jihua, the enemy will not be able to drive all the fleets into the strait. We are expected to face about ten to twenty warships, so we don't have to face their full combat power. I remember what I told you before, we don't want to wipe out all our opponents, and we will definitely not have enough manpower. But drag them here for a few days, and we'll be doomed until Captain Zero leads the pirates to defeat the enemy regimental commander who has entered the bay through the Devil's Passage. ”

"At that time, as long as the fleet here hears the news of the defeat of the legion commander, it will no longer have the will to fight against us at all. ”

"So remember, our goal is not to wipe out our opponents, but to drag them firmly here. Franklin said in a deep voice: "By all means!"
