Seeing that the two were silent, Ofina did not interrupt their thinking, and she controlled Rogge's hand to grab the strawberry and put it into his mouth.
While Rogge was mechanically repeating the action of grabbing and putting down, he was thinking about the possibility that the commander was just having fun and didn't care about the life and death of the Warcraft.
For a moment, there was only the "buzzing" sound of the monster above the head hitting the protective shield, and the sound of the little girl chirping. The two were surprisingly harmonious.
After a while, Rogge spoke first, "What Nana said makes sense, but I feel that the commander may have ulterior motives."
Filia took over, "These reasons are not in conflict and may exist at the same time. Anyway, there are indeed problems with the flying monster's actions. Rogge, I will tell Uncle Anderson about this and let everyone be more vigilant."
"good."
"Right." Filia paused and asked, "If we use the abnormal magic core to provide energy for the protective shield, will there be any problem?"
Rogge replied: "Probably not. If there is a problem, it has already occurred. Previous research by the dean and Nana showed that abnormal magic cores are no different from ordinary magic cores under normal circumstances. We speculated at the time that the abnormal magic core might need to be activated. Now it seems that activation is conditional, at least with distance restrictions.”
"Anyway, if the commander could use the abnormal magic core, he would have done it long ago." Ofina concluded.
"Yes, if the commander can disable the abnormal magic core, Holk City has already fallen. He has no reason not to use it. The only explanation is that he can't do it." Rogge said.
"Well, indeed. I'll go first then." Filia walked out of the hut.
…
Thunder and lightning flashed frequently in the sky. It was Lei Yin and Madeleine who were still harassing the group of monsters.
Everyone had enough food and drink to rest, but Madeleine was still fighting, which made Ofina feel a little guilty.
Canxing is also outside the protective shield.
While Ofina was repairing the protective shield, Canxing fought bloody battles to the end and lost the best chance to return to the city.
Canxing decided not to return to the city and joined Lei Yin in guerrilla warfare. With two spirit king-level spirit beasts accompanying each other, safety is greatly improved.
Rogge was not worried about Canxing's safety, he was just worried that it would use too much force.
If we want to fight against the Poison-spotted Wood Dragon, Canxing, who is currently the strongest, should be the main force.
After Elena finished her meal, she returned to the core cylinder and stared at the energy converter herself, adding magic cores from time to time.
This is a simple but boring job, but Elena is meticulous and very serious.
The girl was still sitting like a cute duck, with the flickering firelight shining on her profile, making her eyes even more beautiful.
Grann, who turned into a follower, couldn't help but be fascinated. He squatted next to Elena and just watched her work, as if he couldn't get enough of it.
There was a soft snoring in his arms. Rogge smiled slightly, took out half a strawberry from Ophina's hand and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet.
The girl said she wasn't tired, but she was the one who put in the most effort among everyone, and her energy had long been used up. After replenishing the backlash of the angel's arrival, I persisted for a while and soon fell asleep.
Rogge was not too sleepy yet, thinking carefully about what he had to do next and the dangers he would face.
…
The first ray of sunshine in the morning illuminated the earth, but it did not shine into the hearts of the soldiers of the Hork City defense army.
The group of monsters overhead showed no signs of decreasing, and were still "bombing" the protective shield indiscriminately.
However, as long as the small figure next to the core of the cylinder is there, the soldiers firmly believe that the protective shield cannot be broken.
The mess on the city ground was cleaned up with the joint efforts of the military and civilians. If there were not still some blood stains left, it would be as if the scene of hell yesterday had never existed.
Rogge did not participate in cleaning up the battlefield. He only collected the body of the leader of the Blade Demonic Locust. Those two pairs of blade-like wings were made of the best material that was as good as the legs of the Sirius Demonic Spider.
Rogge took a nap for a while and just woke up. He handed Ophina in his arms to Filia and used the levitation technique to fly out through the hole in the roof.
He hovered in mid-air, holding in his hand the arcane device he bought in the Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom for observing distant things, looking for traces of the Poison-spotted Wood Dragon.
Soon, Roger found it.
On the poison-spotted wood dragon's deadwood-like body, the wound was no longer visible at the part cut by Ofina yesterday, but the skin there was brighter in color, like newly grown bark.
Rogge adjusted the device and looked at the commander, feeling shocked.
This commander was a familiar face, he actually knew him.
This "person" is wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothes, with long dark brown hair flying in the air. Her face is heavily made up, and it can be seen that she has just put on makeup. She is beautiful, but lacks a soul. Great wind
Even looking up, Rogge could see that the neckline of the aristocratic dress was very low. He still remembered that when he saw her for the first time, a rainbow spit out from the peaks and ravines.
She was Duruco's dance partner at the college's orientation party, Countess Josephine.
How could it be her? Rogge was secretly shocked.
This Josephine had been seen several times in the academy after Rogge came back from the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts. Unexpectedly, she had an affair with a strange demon.
After returning from the Secret Garden, Philia ordered the Sun Knight Myron who was loyal to her to secretly investigate all the people in the academy who had a relationship with Truco. Josephine was one of the key figures. Nothing was discovered at that time. abnormal.
Could it be that she just recently got involved with the strange demon? A person's name instantly appeared in Rogge's mind, but he was still a little confused.
Rogge didn't know much about Josephine. In his impression, she was a typical aristocratic woman who loved vanity and comparison. She was a little clever but not very wise.
At this moment, Roger saw Josephine's black and red eyes staring at him, with a sly smile on her face. Josephine's expression was one of hatred and excitement at the sight of prey, which was strange.
Normally, when Josephine saw Roger, she wanted to eat him alive. Roger could understand, after all, he vomited all over her, which made her seduction plan fail. What happened to her and Truco later was unclear to Rogge, except that she was abused.
Josephine placed the blame on him, and Roger reluctantly confessed.
But today, Roger always felt that Josephine was no longer just Josephine. Her expression was both strange and familiar.
What was strange was that Josephine had never been excited about him, but what was familiar was the look in her eyes that Roger seemed to have seen before.
Suddenly, Josephine's lips moved.
The bright red to almost scarlet lips were opened, and a slender tongue that seemed to be a little too long licked around the lips, like a jackal about to eat.
Josephine said something, and Roger looked at her mouth shape, and it should be: "We meet again."
Then, she smiled again, and the smile gradually changed from normal to exaggerated, and finally settled on a weird and twisted level. It was definitely not a human smile.
In an instant, Roger knew who she really was.
…
Next to the core column, Anderson was on alert.
Yesterday, he ordered that no one else should be allowed to approach the core column, in order to guard against incidents similar to the demonization of soldiers in Garin City.
It happened anyway.
This morning, a soldier fired a crossbow at Elena while his companions looked at him in surprise. Anderson, who was hiding in the dark, rescued her in time and killed the soldier before he blew himself up.
Since then, Anderson has never left the core column.
To be on the safe side, Ofina checked the energy converter, accompanied by Rogge and Filia.
Roger told everyone his findings.
"What? The commander is Josephine?" Anderson's eyes widened in surprise.
"To be precise, Josephine is no longer the original Josephine. Filia, do you still remember when you killed the leader of the Shark Demon? I am sure that the Josephine she is now is her," Rogge said.
Filia was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that the speculation about possession by strange demons has been confirmed, and if the possessed object is killed, the possessed person will not die."
"Our opponent is a real strange demon." Rogge paused and said, "But I feel that Josephine's consciousness has not disappeared. They currently have more of a... symbiotic relationship."
"reason?"
"Because she hates me, but you killed the strange demon leader, so it shouldn't hate me."
Filia nodded, agreeing with Rogge's point of view.
Anderson stroked his beard, "So according to your analysis last night, Josephine's target is Rogge? This... pattern is too small, right?"
"It's definitely not the first target." Ofina checked the energy converter and confirmed it was correct, then joined the discussion, "We just came here yesterday."
"Yes." Rogge said, "Josephine...or the alien demon's first goal must be to cause chaos in the empire, and it must have a deep-seated purpose."
"There are three purposes for this:"
"First, the strange demon wants to destroy the empire."
"Second, the strange demons use chaos to hide something."
"Third, the strange demons use chaos to find something."
"Our appearance was an accident. Josephine hates me. The strange demon regards Filia as its prey. Nana hindered its movement yesterday and injured the poisonous wood dragon. And I have something, which is the strange demon. Want to get it.”
"So the alien demons were unable to break through the protective barrier and did not lead the group of monsters away."
"What do you have?" Anderson asked.
Roger told Anderson about Sonia.
"Roger's analysis makes sense. In this case, we cannot let down our guard. We must persist until support arrives. From now on, you and I will stay here together to ensure that the core cylinder is foolproof."
"Understood." Everyone agreed in unison.
…
The sun sets, the moon rises, the twilight falls, and the entire day is uneventful, with the group of monsters still not leaving.
This is the most dangerous night. As long as you survive tonight, support will arrive, and the group of Warcraft will no longer be able to attack Holk City.
Anderson asked everyone to keep their eyes open, be alert and ready to fight.
Time passes minute by minute, from late night to early morning, the sun is about to rise, the protective shield is still strong, and the magic core is sufficient.
The soldiers became more and more relaxed, while Rogge became more and more nervous. The green fire bow was in hand, the arrow was on the string, and he was ready to shoot at any time.
Although he had only been in contact with the strange demon possessing the leader of the Shark Demon for a short time, Rogge could see how bad his character was.
It is ferocious, cruel, and takes pleasure in torturing humans.
Physical torture is direct but low-level, giving people hope and then dragging them into the abyss when they see the light is the highest form of torture.
Now is the moment of hope, and Rogge believes that if the strange demon still has a trump card, it will be used at this moment.
As he expected, changes occurred suddenly.
