Time has changed, and the sunset is like a tragic scene, with blood-colored webs covering the entire zenith.
There were clearly six people staying in the wooden house that was supposed to be a resting place, but at this moment, it was like a prison without seeing the light of day, filled with dead silence.
"Damn it! Why are you retreating? Don't they know that I still have the ability to fight?" Gallius, who retreated from the battlefield, was already red-eyed and could not calm down his current mood.
"It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous!"
He raised his bandaged left hand, smashed a deep pit into the ground, and roared to vent his dissatisfaction.
Six hours have passed since the birth of the Final Beast. Compared with the giant beast that transcended mythology, the resistance of the world is no more than a mayfly shaking a tree. On top of this, heroes from all walks of life have also proven with practical actions that Even if you try your best with your mortal body, you can't stop the spread of "disaster".
The desperate cries sounded the countdown to collapse. Although the surviving warriors clung to it unwillingly, they could only watch the final beast trample over the bones of their compatriots, step by step. One step closer to the land they are always watching over.
After that, the king ordered the First Army to abandon the line of Fort Auphania and evacuate the army from the first front. The king's orders cannot be violated, which is why Galius is so angry.
"But in that case, even if we continue to fight, it won't help." Nervana, who was covering her head with her hands and curled up at the foot of the bed, was still trembling. Until now, her spirit has not been able to recover from a Escaped from one bad news after another.
The defeat of the brave man, the birth of the Final Beast, and the deaths of thousands of soldiers. Facing the cold and desperate reality, she felt an unspeakable unwillingness, as if the feeling of being teased by fate not only made Nerua... Na felt powerless, and it deeply hurt her soul, making her mood unable to calm down for a long time.
"The sage who has penetrated the world, Yue Ran Yimeng, as well as seniors Barong and Villafa, plus nearly half of the Imperial Army soldiers who have been damaged, our current combat strength is only ten or ten, and we can only stop the Demon King. The army's offensive is already quite reluctant, not to mention the huge beast..."
"Even so, is it possible to end all this by just ignoring the enemy and temporarily retreating to a stone's throw away? Do you know... Nervana!" Garius gritted his teeth.
"Two hours ago, that "evil thing" completely razed the city-state protected by the fortress to the ground, right in front of my eyes. But I couldn't do anything. Not only that, I was like a clown, running around in pursuit of the enemy. "Gellius said, his unwillingness made it difficult for his brain to calm down. He clenched his injured left hand into a fist and smashed it against the ground again.
But this time, it wasn't just the land beneath him that was cracked, even the bandage wrapped around his fist was stained blood red from the cracked injury.
"That's enough, Galius!" The elf swordsman raised his scabbard to stop Galius from continuously hurting himself.
At this moment, Elena's face showed a majestic look that was consistent with her temperament. With just one word, her words were majestic, like an invincible majesty, which completely suppressed the people in front of her.
"What do you think we are doing here? Now that things have come to this, instead of blindly being incompetent and furious, it is better to seize this hard-won opportunity to recuperate. You are also a qualified warrior after all, and you should see your situation clearly! Or, you Have you forgotten how your master died?"
Garius' hand froze in mid-air, as if he was caught in memories and unable to extricate himself, and finally gradually dropped while trembling.
Seeing that Garius looked downcast like a child after being scolded, Elena lowered the sword in her hand and sighed. She also knew that Gellius's temperament should not be like this. It was because of his deep feeling of powerlessness from this battle that he created such an irrational current situation.
Thinking of this, Elena shook her head, and then turned her attention to the man meditating beside her.
Prior to this, the seventh-ranked magic soldier "Mondlem's Loop" brought by the Ice King had already completed the repair of "Oplesser's Round Sky". With the recovery effect of the chief magic soldier, Barong The color finally returned to his face. The appearance that had aged due to the passage of blood has also returned to its original appearance, except for the white hair that has not changed. Like a scar that cannot be healed, it ultimately leaves behind a painful "memory".
But even though the injury was no longer visible on the outside, after meditating for several hours, Barong still showed no signs of waking up, which inevitably made several people present worried.
"As a result, in a place I don't know, Senior Pharaoh Vera is also walking with a heavy load. If the witch hadn't arrived in time to save him, I'm afraid both of them would have been in disaster." He poured out his inner thoughts. , Artoris, who was standing aside wearing a bandage like Garius, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I am deeply sorry for my unreasonable behavior when we first met more than ten years ago."
"Hmph~" The witch leaning against the window didn't take much notice of Artoris's thanks.
"Gu just sensed the aura of the demon soldier and wanted to come here to recover it and rescued this kid by the way. Little sister, please don't think that Gu is so kind and misuse or even damage the token that Gu handed over. I didn’t settle the score with that kid, so it’s certainly understandable that I left him alive.”
Her eyes wandered from the outside world back to her eyes, staring at the white palms without any trace of blood, and the Ice and Snow Witch showed a stern yet charming smile.
"Baron Bokar? This so-called real name is much more offensive than Adele."
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn after not seeing each other for so many years. In fact, you just don't want Barong to die so easily." Looking at the old acquaintance in front of the window who had different opinions, Elena straightened up and crossed her arms. Chest, he said seriously.
"Although I don't know what the relationship is between you two, in my opinion, as I am familiar with both parties, you must have seen something from Barong before you chose to stay. Otherwise, given your personality, I would probably After you collect what you want, you will leave without looking back. Except for the things you really care about, nothing can keep you who insist on leaving, not even "that person". "
"Don't mention that guy in front of me!" As if she had touched some painful spots, the witch's attitude changed slightly and she warned Elena.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't be angry." Seeing the other party showing anger, Elena's voice immediately softened, as if coaxing a child, she apologized in a good voice.
Although Artolis didn't know what kind of relationship Elena and Ice King had in the past, at least now it seemed that the relationship between the two was obviously unusual.
Just like this, several people were tossing around word by word, which somewhat eased the awkward atmosphere at the moment, but the despair lingering in their hearts could not be dissipated so easily.
There is still a hopeless situation in front of us, and we don't know when Barong will wake up.
