In Stafford in the far east, deep underground in the Gobi ruined city that looks like a ruined eaves from the outside, in the underground hall of the organization's lair shrouded in darkness and cold, there are several An organization leader sitting safely on a stone seat and a group of black-clothed agents standing in twos and threes in the hall were having a meeting.
However, unlike previous meetings, the atmosphere at today's meeting was a bit heavy, so much so that no one had spoken for a long time. No matter it was the leaders or the agents, no one seemed to want to speak first.
"cough!"
"Everyone is here?"
"very good!"
"Then let's talk about it!"
After looking around and realizing that everyone who was supposed to come had already arrived, finally, a fat organization leader with a cruel and ferocious expression leaned on the stone seat, and then looked around at the people present with a cold expression. He hummed and spoke first.
"What else is there to say?"
"Right now, the group of 'Giant Sword Judgment' knights from the Holy City of Labona have arrived at the small town on the border."
"Although they patrolled there for three days and three nights and stopped moving forward,..."
"Our detailed work has just been reported. They seem to be making some preparations. It is very likely that they will come to Stafford tomorrow?"
As soon as the fat leader finished speaking, the thin figure sitting a few seats away, wrapped in a black blouse and turban, looked like a mummy, but with stern eyes, was stroking the smooth stone seat. While holding the handrail, he continued with a solemn expression and gritted his teeth.
"really!"
"Based on the distance, if they set out tomorrow morning, they will arrive here by noon tomorrow at most."
"When the time comes, a fierce battle will be inevitable."
"Everyone must know that it only takes ten of those giant swords to defeat West Leaf Road and escape in embarrassment!"
"But now, there are twenty-nine of them... no, thirty!"
"What good ideas do you all have for this?"
After the conversation began, the other leader, who was muscular, wearing armor, and had a kind face, and seemed to be a general of an army, also frowned slightly and asked in a somewhat irritable tone.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Having said this, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
Then, the agents and organization leaders gathered together in twos and threes to discuss something in low voices, but no one picked up what the leader just said.
Because they don’t have any good ideas!
In the past three days, when the female knights of the 'Great Sword Judgment' Order arrived at the border town and openly showed their malice towards the organization, they also sent out warriors from the organization, that is, the latest batch of The swordsmen went to test.
But the result...
None of their team of nearly thirty people could come back, and they were all captured alive by the giant swordsmen, and the opponent was still in that almost harmless way?
So, the leader of the organization now asked them to think of a solution, but at this moment, how could they come up with it?
"Hey!"
"Where is the giant sword?"
For a long time, a leader who didn't look too old, with a thin, smooth face and a gentle and decent temperament, suddenly sneered, and then hummed in an unkind tone and said:
"Listen to everyone!"
"Leader Elena..."
"Deputy Captain Miria..."
"Garadia, Eye of the Knights..."
"And Flora, Jane, Tineb, Huilian, Cynthia, Tabatha, Yuma, etc..."
"Judging from the current list of members of the Great Sword Knights..."
"Aren't they all traitors from the previous term of our organization?"
"Just like the Claire we captured, aren't the so-called golden-red 'Judgment' armors hiding those 'Silver Eyed Witches' trained by us?"
"That's a bunch of bitches!"
As he spoke, the face of the leader, who was originally white, beardless, gentle, and quite decent, suddenly became ferocious and vicious.
Obviously, he seemed to have rebelled against the previous warriors and played a cruel trick on them. Then he established the so-called "Knights of Great Sword Judgment" and colluded with the church in the holy city of Rapona. Are you feeling very dissatisfied and unhappy that you are now attacking them?
But unfortunately, no matter what he thinks, there are some things he needs to face after all.
"really!"
"but……"
"Correction, to be precise, it should be a former warrior?"
"If Claire hadn't been caught..."
"We're just afraid we're still kept in the dark, right?"
Having said this, the fat leader also laughed ferociously, and then cast a very dissatisfied look at a guy in black clothes, a black hat, and wearing black sunglasses who was standing in the crowd of agents.
"leader!"
"I just learned about it, and it was only after Guralis and Miada became those giant sword knights that I figured out the key, and then hurried back to report."
"But you are right, this is my responsibility."
Seeing the fat leader cast a dissatisfied look at him, Lulu, who was wearing black clothes, black hat and sunglasses, hurriedly stepped forward to explain and took the responsibility at the same time.
"okay."
"It's not Lulu's fault."
"This is something none of us expected."
Hearing the inappropriate voice, a leader with deep wrinkles and vicissitudes of eyes spoke out, and stopped the fat leader from continuing to say some inappropriate words.
"Who would have thought..."
"How can a group of soldiers who are supposed to be dead, or who are clearly dead, be able to resurrect and then come to oppose us?"
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. What we have to think about is how to get through this crisis, and then..."
"If you can, think about it!"
“Can you take advantage of this crisis and turn it into something good for the organization?”
"Does anyone have any good ideas?"
After barely stabilizing the order of the meeting and telling everyone not to rush to shirk responsibility or hold people accountable, the skinny old man looked around again and asked.
"Jie!"
"What else can be done?"
"Let's just stop doing it. Let's take advantage of their coming to the far east to drive some demons to destroy the holy city of Rabona!"
"In that case, maybe they will have to come back for support and buy more time for the organization?"
"whispering sound!"
"What you said is very light!"
"The demons and awakened ones on the central land of Yuan Luz have been almost wiped out. They will arrive here at noon tomorrow. At this juncture, where can you find the demons to attack Ravana?"
"Besides!"
"The same thing happened to Nishino Livuru just this morning, and then she was beaten away again. Now it's hard to say whether she's dead or not!"
"that is!"
"Even Livlu personally brought so many demons and awakened ones away in despair. What's the use of even finding a few crooked melons and cracked dates?"
"cough!"
"There's one more thing, don't forget..."
"The traitors of the new generation of warriors, Gullaris and Mijada have become each other's people, put on that kind of armor, and changed from a 'big sword' to a 'giant sword'!"
"Forget it about Gullalis, her abilities are just average."
"But Miyada is rated as having the strength to challenge for the No. 1 throne. If it weren't for his young age and unstable mental condition, we wouldn't have let Alicia and Bissie be exposed so quickly!"
"really!"
"If it's Miyada, even without the kind of armor that can greatly increase strength, speed and perception, and can also unleash unlimited demonic power, she can still deal with most demons and awakened ones based on her own strength! "
"So, let's not mention the attack on Rabona for the time being. The organization currently does not have the ability to destroy that city."
"That……"
"Where's Isli in the south?"
"Has he agreed to our alliance request?"
"Isli?"
"Don't mention him either!"
"After Livlu killed our envoy, he still sent troops to Ravana, hoping to make a profit? But after Yisli also killed our envoy, he did nothing. You still don't expect it. He can go so far as to cause trouble for the giant swords or come to help us!"
"Jie!"
"In other words, the only things our organization can rely on now are Alicia, Bissie, and the power in the headquarters?"
"That's right!"
"There are still those few soldiers, but they have almost been captured. I guess the remaining few will not be of much use."
"Hey!"
"So, the situation is a bit bad..."
"How about we just send out the remaining few soldiers to attack them at night? They won't be of any use anyway, so it wouldn't be a pity if they died?"
"good idea!"
"Can you at least interfere with them and try to tire them out?"
"Better not!"
"Maybe they are meat buns beating dogs. It would be very bad if we add a few more giant swords to them!"
"Tsk..."
Just like that, in the underground hall of the organization's headquarters, a group of people began to discuss loudly about the upcoming war.
Some of them suggested storming and blocking the group of giant swords, some suggested setting up an ambush or sneak attack, some suggested attacking Labona to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and some even advocated trying to negotiate and see if they could divide the other side. What.
Anyway!
Under the discussions between the leaders of those organizations and the agents in black, various reliable and unreliable methods emerged one after another. Various strategies came and went, but in the final analysis, no one could win in the end. Come up with a charter and strategy that is effective and convincing to most people present.
"Silence!"
"Stop arguing!"
"How is this inappropriate?"
Finally, when everyone was getting excited and arguing, the old leader with deep wrinkles on his face and aged eyes who seemed to have some authority spoke up, and successfully silenced the arguing black-clothed agents and others as soon as he spoke. Chiefs.
"That's right!"
"Don't mention the new generation of warriors."
"There is absolutely no comparison between them and those traitors from the old era who have accumulated countless years of experience!"
"Even without those armors, that Miriya alone can probably crush them all by herself."
"so……"
"Everyone, since you can't think of a good way, you might as well think about how to defend yourself tomorrow!"
Then, the armored leader, who was already a little impatient, overcame all the opinions and directly assigned the nature of tomorrow's battle, that is - defense!
"cough……"
"Then, it's decided."
"Everyone should go back and think carefully and prepare for tomorrow's war?"
And just after he finished speaking, the old leader also agreed with his statement and planned to wait until the defense tomorrow to make any plans.
"snort!"
And when he heard that the old leader had made his decision, the armored leader had nothing to say. He just snorted and patted the armrest of the stone seat before standing up.
"If it's defense, then leave it to me!"
"although……"
"Currently, the only active warriors that the organization can still use are Alicia and Bissie, and their strength is similar to that of Livlu. They can only contain ten or less giant swords at most? "
"but!"
"They are not the only secret weapons of the organization..."
"Hmph..."
After speaking sarcastically and looking around at the leaders and agents in black, he said no more. He just sneered and waved his cloak, then turned and walked away, following the sonorous armor. The sound of friction gradually faded away and he was the first to leave what he considered a messy meeting place early.
…
at the same time.
After chasing to the far west and burning down one of the three great abyssalists, the 'Western Leaf Road' and its henchmen, Anne was not in a hurry to return to Labona City immediately, but after thinking about it, she made a bold move. Decision: Go to the extreme south and burn the last abyssal, the guy who changed his job from 'Isli of the North' to 'Isli of the South'!
So, she, who always did whatever came to her mind, followed the other person's breath and teleported directly to a place in the south overnight.
However……
When she quickly came to a strange town in the south and quickly found the target person, that is, the 'Isli of the South', she unexpectedly found that the other person was outside on the second floor of an open restaurant. Enjoy late-night snacks and delicious food in the private seats?
Anne was of course very surprised by this.
Because, as far as she knew, whether they were monsters, awakened ones, abyssal beings, or even those great swords, those beings didn't like eating human food very much.
But now, that Yisli is actually right under her nose, enjoying a midnight snack like an ordinary person?
Such a strong visual impact made Anne almost think that her eyes were wrong.
Then, the same Yisli recognized her and calmly invited her to share the food. Anne's original thoughts were instantly defeated by her curiosity and gluttonous nature, so she took the seat and started to talk to herself. I just enjoyed myself.
"??"
(.)
"Weird! Why don't you eat?"
()
After eating for a while, Anne couldn't help but ask strangely when she saw that the other party was motionless. However, the movements in her hands did not stop. She just chewed the food and observed the other party's reaction in confusion.
"Ah!"
"For existences like us, these foods are actually no different from chewing wax."
"You should know that too, right?"
Yisli sighed slightly, then looked at Annie with a half-smile and shook his head.
In fact, as a demon in the world's population, as a top being among the awakened, as the feared 'abyssal' in the organization's classification, he has always longed to integrate into the world of ordinary people and live that kind of ordinary life. life.
However, the cruel fact made him fail no matter how hard he tried. The melancholy of being unable to integrate into this world was something that others could not experience, and it also filled his heart with helplessness and bitterness.
in particular……
After seeing the mysterious and powerful little girl in front of him today, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he thought about his fate.
"correct!"
"Lifulu is dead. You should have eliminated him not long ago, right?"
Suddenly, Yisli stared at the food on the table in silence for a while and then suddenly asked Anne.
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"How did you know?"
ヾ(^^*)))
Anne raised her head and stared at the other person curiously, and then asked with a puzzled smile.
You know, she didn't tell anyone about that matter, and she came here immediately after burning those two bad guys, but the other party guessed it, which really made her feel quite strange.
"intuition!"
"That……"
"Now, are you ready to destroy me?"
After a pause, Yisli felt something and asked again with a bitter smile.
"yes!"
(c)
"But you don't seem to be very scared!"
(°ー°〃)
Anne admitted openly, tilted her head and stared at the other person for a while, then made some strange comments.
"Afraid?"
"Are you afraid it will be useful?"
Shaking his head, Yisli sighed with emotion.
Since Lifulu could be killed instantly by the opponent, then Yisli would definitely be unable to resist the little girl in front of him.
It was a deep helplessness and fear at the same time.
But the fear does not come from the strength and death of the little girl in front of her, but from the loneliness of being unable to integrate into the world, the helplessness of being rejected and hostile.
Although he was known as the One of the Three Abyss in the World before, and also had the title of 'Isli of the North', he knew that they did not belong here, did not belong to this world, and would eventually be destroyed one day!
But, he never thought that that day would come so early?
"It's useless!"
(*^▽^*)
"but."
(′~`●)
Annie started to get confused.
"Now that people have eaten your food, it seems like they can't do it anymore!"
ε=(ο`*)))Alas
"But, it doesn't seem possible if we don't take action?"
(O ^~^ O)
Yes, it’s so confusing!
After all, the opponent is 'Isli', the 'Abyss One', a man-eating demon, and it is said that the opponent has destroyed many northern towns, especially those in the far north, and the opponent's kind What he did will definitely not be easily forgiven. Even if he doesn't burn the other party today, I'm afraid that Elena and Miria will definitely not be able to spare the other party when they free their hands someday?
However, now she was asked to eliminate this guy who had shared food with her just now. She always felt a little intolerable. She always felt that it was not good to smash the bowl after eating other people's food and refuse to admit it. ?
