"- What is that?"

Asked by the young son beside him, the father, who waved his cane to drive the sheep, looked up at the whistling south.

It was nearly evening, and in another hour the night would fall. The father, the child, and two faithful old sheepdogs were herding the bleating sheep back to the village, and then out of the birch forest in the south, an alien emerged from the woods.

It wasn't a beast, it didn't look like limbs, it looked like a giant green beetle, with a wonderfully rounded outline, cloaked in a bright red sunset, and it was suffocating smoke and screaming at high speed.

His father reflexively grabbed the hunting knife at his waist, thinking it was some kind of dangerous species he had never seen before, and instinctively assumed a defensive stance. Then, he relaxed the strength of his whole body.

"That's ......"

He saw the long "body" dragging behind the thing, and there was a bright window that emitted a light far brighter than an oil lamp or a candle, and he could clearly see the richly dressed young women sitting in it enjoying dinner, all with smiles on their faces.

"It's a locomotive. ”

The shepherd removed his hand from the handle of the knife and quickly drew a cross on his chest towards the glittering icon of the relict and the image of the Mother Goddess on the train car.

"Don't be afraid, it's not something to be scary. ”

"But ......"

The youngest son did not let go of his father's words, and he had seen the locomotive once or twice, but this strange appearance obviously did not match the image in his memory.

"It was to the northern front line to comfort the warriors who fought against the orcs. Probably to prevent those long-haired monsters from sneaking up, so it looks different from ordinary locomotives. ”

"Is that so?"

Nodding to his son, who was looking up at him in a daze, the shepherd continued:

"When he went to the city not long ago, didn't Alphonse's eldest son say that His Highness the Holy Maiden was going to take many girls from large families to the front and bring everyone's blessings to the soldiers? ”

Without further questioning, the shepherd took his son and two old dogs on his way home, and when they got home, supper should be ready, and "I saw the locomotive on which Her Highness rode the Virgin" as a topic of drinking.

With a relaxed and happy mood. The shepherd knocked on the buttocks of a detached sheep. Mouth hummed a country slang song.

No matter what he does, he will do it perfectly, which is the advantage of Li Lin and the characteristic of V.E.

In order to meet the unbelievable requirements of the royal navy. The company has invested a lot of technical strength. Including a high-power engine with an output twice as much as the conventional model. After laying armor on the inside of the carriage shell and attaching a few special carriages, the train was able to maintain high speed. And in order to meet the needs of our valued passengers. The wagons are also arranged according to the class of the Zeppelin, and the neoclassical decoration gives it a mobile palace-like feel. In addition to the standard shower fire extinguishing device, fire extinguisher, and exhaust device, a liftable armor plate is installed at the window position, and the 15mm thick armor plate will be raised to protect the passengers as soon as the commander presses the emergency pedal.

If you take into account a battalion of marines and the armed cars at the front and back of the train, it is really foolproof.

It would take at least one infantry regiment, a cavalry battalion, and adequate intelligence and logistical support to take this train - such a national-level operation is unlikely to take place on this train, at least in the current political situation.

As for the idea of pulling out the road spikes, or planting bombs on the tracks, it is debatable in front of this train, which is equipped with a lot of induction and railway repair equipment, not to mention that there are "those guys" there-

"There are too many seasonings and too much meat, which affects the physical health index and is not good for the maintenance of the body. ”

"Shut up, I usually eat working meals, it's rare to have a good meal, how can I do if I don't eat enough?"

"How many years have you not had a good meal?"

"It's noisy, eat obediently. ”

"Yes, let's eat together with a friendly person, right?"

flower praying mantis;

Pocket worms;

Scorpion;

giant needle ant;

The elite of the killer group "Arachnid" named Worm, the combat power of one "Worm" is enough to rival a small team of human soldiers, and such "Worm" is equipped with 4 such "Worms".

In the face of such combat effectiveness, there can be no accidents.

That being the case-

"Open your mouth ~~~~~~"

The muscles of the whole body were tense, cold sweat was constantly oozing from the forehead and armpits, and the static electricity in the air was so strong that the skin was paralyzed, and the spasmodic mouth seemed to be open.

"This is specially made for Roland, try it. ”

The girl enthusiastically held a dinner fork with a golden roast lamb chop on it, releasing a tantalizing aroma, and the surrounding eyes became more dangerous and scorching.

Why is Nona here?!!!

I don't know if it's the influence of the beast part in the blood, or the influence of the education received in the military academy on the personality, or the unique rush after entering the spring period, in short, Nona is keen to express her affection for Roland, and she makes no secret of it.

She didn't care about flashing flashbangs to blind people, but Roland did!

"You know what?"

Gloria smiled as she continued to add force to the knife, and the bright red steak was chopped into countless pieces.

"In the past, when we caught a wild cat stealing, they were thrown into the river and drowned. ”

"It's a good way, and it's a good time. ”

"I feel the same way. ”

"It's a little cruel, but it's a deterrent. ”

The corners of her mouth twisted slightly, and Venia, Valrhona, and Spider threw a meaningful glance at Roland.

(This train...... Is it the Shura Train?)

Surrounded by beautiful girls of all kinds of attributes - as a man, you should be happy about this, but I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage. Roland was particularly old-fashioned when it came to the affairs of men and women. The situation of black lights and blind lonely men and widows is restrained and restrained, and they don't dare to think about it at all when they have a relationship with multiple girls for the first time.

Besides, in the current situation, if you move casually, you may encounter life-threatening consequences, and you will shoot at someone or something...... It would be nice to be able to leave the whole corpse behind.

"Come, Roland, eat nothing left. ”

"No, not necessarily. Uh......"

Keep pushing on your abdomen to avoid making a sunken sound, and maintain an impeccable upright sitting posture. Roland asked:

"Why is Nona here?"

There is no war at the moment. But as a test pilot for all kinds of new armored vehicles and even large mobile weapons, Nona will not be idle enough to mix in this special train at will.

There must be someone in the middle of it, but why would he do it? Just to create a Shura field?

No way.

In addition to the appearance, Li Lin must have other arrangements.

“...... Tough words. Is it for Her Highness?"

Shrugged like a towel. Nona whispered in Roland's ear. The voice is extremely calm.

"After watching the performance on the platform, you know that the saint is much more troublesome than your fiancée. If you are not careful, you will be drawn into a power struggle between the church, Charlemagne and the consortium. ”

She pretended to be intimate and spoke in a low voice, to prevent Gloria from hearing the words.

As believers, this kind of disrespectful words will inevitably make them disgusted, and it will be extremely troublesome if it is leaked to society, so it can only be transmitted in this way.

Li Lin didn't have a good impression of the church, and he didn't want to have a good relationship with this group of fanatical believers.

It's okay to use and cooperate occasionally, and it's better to build a further relationship?

(As long as the church does not abandon the doctrine of disparaging elves, there will be no substantial progress in the relationship, but the church is not clear about this...... No, they don't care about that kind of thing, all the church cares about is maintaining a "world where the church is the core." ）

Ethnic conflicts aside, the relationship between government agencies and religious groups is not likely to be at peace with Yalfheim and Ymir.

It is clear from reading the speech of the Holy Maiden at the station that the Church and the Holy Maiden have a huge influence on the people, and that influence even transcends the economy and politics, enough to turn thousands of ordinary people into thugs and attack any opponent of the Church. This is the central force of the Church to maintain the functioning of its system, and at the same time what the "National Socialist" Alfheim cannot tolerate the most.

In Alfheim, both the consuls and the council were willing to listen to the voices of the people, but there was also a premise: absolute ruling authority.

All grassroots units, including every community in the city and every village in the countryside, are absolutely obedient to the orders of the central power.

Such a system would facilitate the use of the energies of the entire State and at the same time prepare for future expansion, which is a necessary means for a regime in which minorities rule over the majority.

There is no room for reconciliation between the two sides, not only in terms of doctrine, but also in the most basic powers, and the struggle will not end until one side submits or falls.

(In order to prevent the saint from playing any tricks on me, in the name of the guards, transfer both Nona and Arachnid to the train?)

Understanding this layer, the rest of the things are also clear at a glance, Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly.

There really isn't anything to escape from him, I'm afraid that apart from Nona and the others, there are some unknown "backup measures" on this train, and he is perfect for everything, and he will definitely prepare one or two backup plans to deal with emergencies.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the carriage door, and a young girl in a female priest's robe walked up to Roland and declared with impeccable courtesy:

"Rear Admiral Roland Dark, attendant of the Mother Goddess, and Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Giel wishes to speak to you. ”

(I'm really afraid of anything.) ）

Roland got up and tidied up his appearance, and withdrew from the dining car, which was no different from the Shura field. (To be continued......)
