Chapter 951: Grassland
In fact, Hannah didn't think that the "Final Battle Weapon" contained in the wooden box that emanated with amazing magical fluctuations in Alicia's convoy was real. The cunning blonde queen had set many traps in a similar way to trick the demons around, and this time it was most likely the same trick. Still, Hannah couldn't sit idly by, what if it did exist?
The Alliance, which holds the initiative on the battlefield, can cooperate with Alicia to carry out a large number of dazzling actions that will seriously consume the brain cells of the command personnel on both sides of the enemy, so as to toss the enemy and her own people to tears.
It's just that the alliance side is more crying and laughing, and the demon side is simply heartbroken.
As a result, Hannah, who hastily used the teleportation scroll to rush from the front line to the area behind enemy lines, was cautious, repeatedly trying to probe the wooden box along the way, but all attempts were unsuccessful due to the obstruction of the guards and trial students.
Hannah increasingly felt that the crate was a deliberate decoy from the Alliance, or Alicia, because the timing of its appearance was too coincidental in every sense of the word. But seeing that the alliance was about to launch an offensive in the summer, and with the blonde girl herself personally escorting, no one dared to pat their chests and assure that the strategic weapons in the wooden box were definitely not real, so Hannah decided to attack the team before it reached a nearby station.
As for whether or not she could get a strategic weapon that God knows exists and take out a blonde girl, Hannah had no hope at allβshe had no intention of sending out all her forces in the first place. There is no intention of showing up on the battlefield.
In the opinion of the short-haired woman, the probability that the wooden box is a trap has exceeded sixty percent, and it is safer to keep one hand when acting. Even if the contents of the wooden box are real, and this weapon has been transported to the front line, it has dealt a devastating blow to the demon army. It only accelerated the downfall of the bat's wings.
Under the methodical pressure of the coalition forces, Ulrique, the grasshopper of the autumn queen, could not escape the fate of defeat in the end, no matter how long he jumped. At least, that's what Hannah thinks.
On the other hand.
Ralph's advocacy of leading the remnants of the defeated army to evacuate from the Eastern Continent was not recognized by Ulrique, although it did preserve a lot of valuable combat power for the demons. The new Demon King was very angry at the defeat of the last battle in which a lot of troops and energy were invested, and Ralph's "hasty" retreat was tantamount to giving up the entire Eastern Continent to the Alliance without even trying to regroup and launch a counterattack, how could this be tolerated?
The Red-Skinned Demon was not only not rewarded for preserving his combat power, but was instead punished. Most of his property was confiscated. If it weren't for the fact that he had unscrewed the heads of a few officers of the sealing team who tried to fall into the ground, washed the floor of his house with blood, and made others suddenly realize that he was a level 8 powerhouse, I am afraid that these guys would have been captured even the human girls who had been living a happy life with Ralph every day since they were taken captive in the Eastern Continent.
Arranged to carry out Hannah's mission in the most dangerous places, Ralph placed the girl in a secretly established base village in the territory controlled by the Teranmere Alliance, and then very passively carried out the mission to earn money and pass the time in the village. It looks extremely decadent.
Despite this, Ralph was still a very rare and formidable force, and Hannah decisively recruited him into the ranks of the raid on the Union convoy. Even if this guy doesn't have the slightest motivation, he can at least contain Elicia's Icarus, so that this pink angel can't cause big trouble for others with the map cannon.
But Hannah never expected it. Ralph had another idea in mind.
It is a grassland full of green life. The thriving weeds are almost half an adult's height, swaying slightly in the sunlight with the spring breeze, which is a pleasant sight to behold. And Hannah and the troops she had gathered were in ambush here.
"The target convoy appeared. The soldier in charge of observing the surrounding situation reminded from the front, "The other side is not very fast, but it has sent many scouts around, and it seems that there is a certain vigilance against our attack. No Elysia has been found yet, and the enemy masters who can be identified so far are Golden Shadow, Franlinos, and ...... Shadow Lady. β
Ralph's squinted eyes widened slightly. Quietly glanced at Hannah next to her. The short-haired woman was clearly not surprised by the appearance of the shadow, she only bit her lip slightly complicatedly. Then he said, "Keep watching." Also watch out for the sky, maybe Icarus is in the sky. I don't want to wait for the coalition convoy and instead wait for a deadly barrage. β
However, Alicia did not seem to have put Icarus into the sky, and the entire convoy maintained sufficient vigilance and relatively steady speed to move forward in this sea of green, like a mighty fleet.
The convoy was getting closer, and the little blonde queen still hadn't appeared. Hannah couldn't help but be very worried about this, and she felt more and more that the other party had already deduced her intention to attack today, and had already prepared accordingly. The short-haired woman bit the nail of her right thumb and muttered to herself, "Why didn't you see Alicia?
Ralph indifferently stretched out his hand and patted the woman's shoulder: "Hannah, you're thinking too much. It's not that Alicia doesn't show up, it's that she shows up, but we don't see it. β
"Uh, what do you mean by that?"
"It's simple. The little queen was not tall, so she was covered by weeds and could not show her head. The red-skinned demon plucked his nostrils with a bored face and said, "Do you know what it means to be smart but be mistaken by cleverness, that's it." β
Burst embarrassment.
Hannah, who was full of black lines, finally recovered from the petrified state after a long time, wiped the cold sweat from her head and coughed and said, "Hmm." That seems to be the case. No matter what, wherever the Elysia are, our actions must go according to plan. Relph, Icarus is up to you, and of course our little queen may send some other forces to prevent the Pink Angel from being suppressed by you. Please be careful. The others waited for my order, counted down to the third, and then started to light together!"
At the same time, the inside of the coalition supply convoy.
Indeed, as Ralph said, Alicia was only hidden by the weeds due to her height and was not seen by the demons, and she definitely did not mean to play some mysterious disappearance.
Today is the fourth day of the trial, and the people have to cross the lush grasslands to reach the inhabited reclamation area, and then go straight through the country roads to the military stations set up between the many small villages. This is not a difficult thing to say. Although there are many dangerous beasts and even monsters living on the grassland, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke each other, they will naturally not come to trouble humans, but because of the vegetation, it is easy to carry out ambush warfare, and it is an ideal place for demons to block the road and rob in spring, summer and autumn. So it got the nickname of "Abyss Prairie".
This is naturally the reason why the Golden Shadow Society sends many scouts on guard missions, but it is clear that this has not had much effect.
The sudden flames devoured the weeds like hungry monsters, and instantly formed a prairie fire. It stands to reason that the fire would not have been so fierce under normal circumstances. But the flame was black. It was the Flame of Hell that was often used by a certain teenage evil god named Ketugaya. This terrible flame will swallow everything in the world, even water will be ignited on the spot like gasoline, and the green and juicy green grass will not be a problem.
Hannah didn't plan to attack from the start, because the short-haired woman knew very well that if she wanted to find the whole of Drow Leeven from the front, only Elijah could succeed, uh, no, I mean fighting this black-bellied blonde girl in the open, it was not at all in Hannah's character, she would only trample the little queen under her feet after the victory...... Well, none of the above counts, it's actually just because Hannah is well aware that she has enough power at hand, but she doesn't know what hole cards Elicia is hiding. Therefore, it is safer to use the strategy to consume the other party first.
"It's the Flame of Hell!" Xiao Dark, who was in charge of commanding the team, couldn't help but have a shocked expression on his face, "Everyone immediately started clearing the weeds nearby to create a barrier. Move fast!"
The soldiers and students then scrambled to swing their weapons at the surrounding weeds, but Alicia unhurriedly climbed to the top of the cargo box of a carriage - Hannah and the others, who had been watching the convoy all the time, soon spotted her - raised her staff and whispered a spell.
The breeze surrounded the girl, caressing her dress and hair, and the whole person did not make any movements, but seemed to be dancing with the wind, and the scene looked beautiful and ethereal; the breeze gradually strengthened into an air current, and some debris was immediately rolled up and thrown into the air, but this had no effect on the girl, and the debris did not even come close to her, as if it did not dare to desecrate her sacred image at this moment.
An arrow with a dangerous pale green glow at the tip of the arrow shot straight at Alicia's throat from afar, like a meteor that pierced the sky. Icarus hurriedly threw away the chairman with a painful expression in his arms without hesitation, and spread his beautiful pink wings in front of the little queen, and Ilya rushed over from not far away almost at the same time, puffing up his fighting armor and staring at the arrow that would come into contact with him in the next second, and put on a posture of full defense.
But both of their POSS were in vain. The lightning-fast arrow was hit by another arrow that flew out of the diagonal thorn, and under the interaction of the two powerful forces, it turned into a cloud of fragments, and sprinkled Ilya's head all over his face.
With an indifferent expression on his face, Yuege's superb archery skills were once again astonishing, and even the enemies who were sniping at Alicia in the distance couldn't help but let out a clear and audible exclamation full of disbelief when they saw this.
The exclamation immediately turned into a miserable howl - dare to expose your position in front of the High Elves who are good at long-range shooting, aren't you looking for death?
The crowd didn't know that she was covering up for Alicia, and she had already entered the realm of selflessness, concentrating all her attention on a very, very ...... Ordinary spells?
That's right. It's just a very ordinary spell. In the Age of Discovery, which relied on the power of the wind, this spell was most popular with sailors. It's called, Hurricane.
If anything, Hurricane also has good damage. But in comparison, people prefer the effect it produces. Whether it's blowing at the sails to speed up the voyage or blowing at the wind turbine to help solve the city's energy problem, whether it's lifting the girl's short skirt or scraping away the fat time they wash and hang outside, it's a very practical spell.
What, you said something strange was just mixed in there? Don't worry, that's definitely an illusion!
Alicia's choice to use the hurricane spell here is not to sell cuteness, but to slow down the spread of the fire. As for whether or not you can blow the fire to the demon, this infernal flame is actually a kind of magic. Naturally, the bat's wings as a spellcaster can be canceled at any time, so the little queen decisively has no hope.
The strong winds against the odds didn't stop the flames from advancing, but they bought enough time for everyone to clear the barrier. Seeing the failure of the fire attack, Hannah had no choice but to give up. Instead, the pre-arranged ambush troops were sent out.
The breath of death instantly enveloped the entire grassland, and the weeds that were originally full of vitality withered one after another, and some of the animals that lived in it and couldn't avoid it quickly fell to the ground and twitched to death, which made everyone stunned.
"It's coming. The legendary Black Knight!" Alicia reminded aloud as she set her gaze to the place where the aura was at its thickest. "Get ready, everyone!"
Just like what Grod's intelligence mentioned, this terrifying undead was heavily armored and heavily armored, and he was afraid that he would break his own tiger mouth if he slashed at it casually. The large metal mace on his right hand was covered in dark red stains, and it was obvious that it had taken the lives of many Coalition soldiers, and the shield on his left hand was full of traces of various swords, guns, and halberds, but none of them could penetrate it, and the mount under his crotch was not a nightmare, but it was no small to be reckoned with, at least no one would want to get up close and personal with this skeleton horse clad in metal spiked armor.
The aura of death brought by the Black Knight was so powerful that even the low-level monsters did not dare to stand near it. However, this guy has the ability to summon an army of the undead. A large number of non-breathing creatures surrounded it also earned face for its shining debut.
"Okay, what now?" Sophia, who was looking at the black knight from afar, was suddenly shocked to find that her body was trembling. Hurriedly holding back the unexplained fear in her heart, she looked at Alicia in the carriage and asked, "Do you want to use your shiny beam to wash the floor?"
"What's the matter with the shiny beam ultimate, are you and I some big-eyed tentacle monster from the void that has been turned into a cute girl!?" Alicia said with an angry look at her friend, "Let's see what Hannah plans to do first." Our reinforcements are already nearby, so there's no need to rush. β
So, where are the reinforcements you arranged?" Sophia opened her mouth and finally swallowed back the question, then turned her head to look at the black knight who was quickly leading the team approaching and said, "So, who are you going to send to deal with that guy?" The aura of the black knight's death attribute should be some kind of law-level realm, and ordinary people's combat ability will be greatly reduced after entering. Could it be that Icarus was going to be used in the first place?"
"Big man, I think Xana-chan should be enough to deal with this guy. Her flame happens to be the nemesis of the undead. β
Alicia closed her eyes as she spoke, concentrating on the summoning, and in a short time the sky, which was a little dim because it was shrouded in black and intense death, suddenly burst into a bright light, and a petite girl figure descended proudly on the land that was about to be completely corroded with a scorching red flame.
Without Alicia's orders, Xana, who was extremely sensitive and disgusted by the aura of the undead, twitched her eyebrows twice in dissatisfaction, and then immediately raised the sword in her hand and flapped a pair of bright fire wings, and rushed straight towards the black knight with the momentum of Mount Tai. The intense death aura that spread like a black mist was ignited on the spot by the holy flame, and a dazzling flame trail was drawn behind Xana.
The undead on the ground, no matter how fierce the battle with the living, would be quite indifferent, but at this moment they all panicked. They ran around like headless flies trying to get away from the rapidly approaching meteor in the sky, looking like a swarm of ants that had exploded their nests from a distance, which was funny and hilarious.
The black knight naturally felt the powerful pressure from Xana, and pointed his mace at the girl and let out a dull and angry roar, as if in response. Even though it has become an undead, it is still a great hero in his lifetime, and will not easily admit defeat to his opponent before he has even fought, no matter how powerful the opponent is.
Xia Na, who thought that the other party was just an ordinary brainless undead, couldn't help but show a surprised look on her face, but it was quickly replaced by a serious expression. Since the Black Knight is not just a simple powerful undead and seems to have a little bit of self, the girl will also face each other squarely, and ...... And defeat it with all your might!
Because this is the greatest respect that can be given to the tragic hero. (To be continued......)
