“souler！”

Slender, white fingers swept through the air, bringing up the electric light, and countless lightning bolts danced with it, whistling and flying forward, and the thunder and lightning slammed into the soldiers' bodies, preventing them from moving further. Marlene looked at the enemy in front of her solemnly, then took a half step back, and at the same time raised her right hand and waved it forward. And with her movements, dozens of soldiers in pitch-black armor and fully armed who stood in the girl's hands strode forward, they raised the weapons that looked like spears in their hands, and aimed straight ahead, and soon, the gears at the top of these spears began to rotate rapidly, and bright magical brilliance spread along the body of the spear, condensing at the top, and then, with a dull, deafening roar, countless dazzling golden rays of light erupted from it, like a torrential rain piercing into the ground in front of them, Powerful waves of air swept through the petals and blades of grass dancing in the air, the scorching heat melted the hard earth and rocks on the surface, and the dazzling light rose and fell to form a golden ocean, and when it was all over, there was nothing left in front of him.

"Hoo ..............."

It was only at this time that Marlene breathed a sigh of relief, and then she regained her concentration and once again stared at the unrecognizable battlefield in front of her, and then nodded in satisfaction. Then, Marlene turned and smiled at the soldiers behind her.

"You guys are doing well, our mission is over, the enemy will not attack again in a short time, now, line up, return to the camp."

Hearing the girl's order, the soldiers in front of them put away their spears again, and then they saluted Marlene respectfully, and then quietly and quickly regrouped and turned to walk towards the barracks in the rear. And it was only at this time that a girl in white light armor who looked about the same age as Marlene trotted all the way to Marlene, and then handed over a kettle.

"Miss, thank you for your hard work. This time it went just as well. ”

"Thank you, Riley. This time, the new weapon trial-produced by the family is still good in terms of performance, whether it is power, range or coverage area, it is very effective, and the safety is much better than before. However, the cost is still a big problem, we have only participated in seven battles in the time we have been in the Prosperous Plain, but we have consumed magic crystals worth 500,000 gold coins——— it seems that the improvement of the 'Spear of the End' will continue. ”

"Yes. I understand, Miss, I will report your opinion to the patriarch as soon as possible. ”

Hearing Marlene's words, the girl hurriedly nodded in response, and then she pursed her lips a little unhappily before continuing.

"That's right. Miss, the Fortress Commander approached me just now, hoping to invite you to dinner with me, but I have already helped you refuse. Really, that savage man, who doesn't look in the mirror to see what virtues he has, actually tries to eat swan meat and beat the eldest lady with the idea of a toad, hum......... If it weren't for the fact that he was a subordinate of Amund's division........."

"That's not what we should be concerned about, Riley."

The girl's words were not finished. was interrupted by Marlene. She looked up at the blue sky in front of her, the pungent smell of fire coming from the breeze, and the originally green grass in front of her was now full of scorched marks, like a shocking scar on her skin. Looking at the scene in front of her, Marlene sighed imperceptibly, and then she turned her head away, and then asked.

"What about the latest news on the front?"

"Yes, here. Miss. ”

Hear Marlene's inquiry. Riley hurriedly took out a letter and handed it over. Marlene took the letter and opened it, her eyes darting over the letter. Then, Marlene's expression was slightly stunned.

"It's really funny, the Southern Legion mobilized nearly nine thousand men to besiege the Fortress of the Top of the Mist? There are also a lot of soldiers here in the prosperous plain......... I see, it seems that the reformers are not all stupid, and the commotion in the south a few days ago must have made them anxious, and they used to complain about our work, but now it is their turn to feel for themselves, these things are not so easy to do......... Well, these are not the main forces of the Southern Army..............."

Marlene muttered to herself as she stared at the information in front of her, and then she smiled softly.

"Riley, how many people are there in the total number of the Southern Legion attacking the northern defense line of Pafield this time?"

"Yes, eldest miss, according to the information from within the family, there are five legions, a total of 43,000 people."

"The number of enemies in the Flower Field is seven thousand, and the number of enemies going to the top of the clouds is eight thousand......... Coupled with the 6,000 infantry of Geldar and the Southern Navy blocking the Strait of Sorrows——— at least more than 20,000 people are still missing, this is strange, on such a large defensive line, I really don't believe that these 20,000 people will disappear out of thin air like this, but ........." said this, Marlene's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she stopped talking to herself.

"Looks like we've done our job, Riley, get back and sort out the 'Gun of the End' and give a report, which I'll see after dinner. If all goes according to our expectations, then we can choose to leave here and go to the front. ”

"The front line?"

Hearing this, Laili couldn't help blinking her eyes curiously, and looked at the eldest lady beside her in confusion.

"Miss, isn't this the front line? Where are you going? ”

Hearing her maid's words, Marlene couldn't help but smile slightly.

"This is just a monkey's playground, Laili, pass the time in moderation, the other party has no intention of stopping there. Although they have deliberately made it possible to attack the Parfield defense with all their might, the lack of troops is really their flaw......... These are just decoys, and the real purpose of the Southern Army is not where we are. Although I don't know who came up with the plan, this time ..............."

At this point, Marlene paused, she seemed to remember something, but she didn't continue. And hearing that her eldest lady was halfway through her words but there was no follow-up, this also made Laili a little surprised, she turned her head curiously and looked at the eldest lady beside her. "What's wrong this time? Miss? ”

"Nothing, Riley."

Hear your maid's inquiry. Marlene smiled and shook her head.

"I just think he's right this time."

"He? Miss, which 'he' are you talking about? ”

"It's a secret."

Marlene replied with a smile, then she put away the report in her hand and put it back in her arms, and Marlene turned and walked in the direction of the camp.

"Alright, Riley. Pack up and check the wear and tear of your equipment and we're ready to go, the Guns of the End have been adjusted, and the Reformers' assault on the Flower Fields has come to an end, so it's clear that they don't plan to use this place as a target anymore, so we must act now. This time, I'll surprise him. ”

The bright sun falls from the sky, giving people a lazy feeling. But for Garcia, he didn't feel comfortable at all, on the contrary, the man in the scruffy military uniform was half-leaning against the fortress wall, staring crookedly at the flag fluttering on the horizon in the distance, and then the man opened his mouth and yawned widely. Then he raised his hand, stretched his waist, and then leisurely got back to his feet. And at this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, and then a soldier hurried up the city wall.

"Report to your lordship, enemy forces have been spotted ahead."

"I have eyes, how many?"

"There are seven infantry companies in total, and the number is about three thousand five hundred."

"Hey."

Hearing his subordinates' report, Garcia couldn't help but sneer. He picked up the flask at his waist. Then he raised his head and took a big mouthful, and then he shivered comfortably. Garcia then burped contentedly as he put the flask back on his waist, but this time, his half-asleep, squinted eyes reopened.

"I really didn't expect that the other party would give me face like this, 3,500 people, hey, I really want to go out and eat it. By the way, who is leading the team? ”

"It's General Dade who personally leads the team!"

"Huh?"

This time, Garcia's expression finally changed slightly, and he let out a strange "um", but quickly reverted to his original expression, and then he lazily reached out and waved it. "Well, I know, you go down, inform those guys, it's time for them to contribute, and those bullshit aristocrats, tell them that if you want me to write their honorable name on the post-war report, just *** lift my pants and work hard, don't even be a girl!"

"Yes!"

After listening to the commander's order, the herald immediately turned and left. And it wasn't until the footsteps behind him completely disappeared that Garcia reached out, touching his bearded chin while frowning, looking at the army on the horizon in front of him with a puzzled gaze, while whispering to himself.

"This is troublesome, I didn't expect that the old immortal would personally lead the team, what kind of wind is this blowing? Isn't he in charge of the feint? If this old guy is in charge of encircling and containing, who will lead the others to break through? With this old guy's style, he shouldn't just find someone to stuff it in. ”

While talking to himself, Garcia's expression gradually became a little serious.

The little girl............ I guess that's fine.

In the woods, there was not a single hint of wind, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating speckled brilliance that spread like a dazzling carpet in the trees. Lijie hid in the bushes, looking at the horizon not far away through the gaps in the leaves, at this moment she felt extremely nervous, her heart was beating rapidly, there was no trace of majesty around her, the heat was unpleasant. Li Jie even felt that the spirit master robe she was wearing was as heavy as a lead block now, and even her body was a little stiff because of the lack of movement for a long time.

And beside Lijie, Anne was lying on the grass leisurely, basking in the sun like a docile puppy, looking at her very comfortable appearance when she squinted her eyes, if it weren't for the girl's slightly swinging arms and calves, it would even make people wonder if she was asleep. Not far from Anne's side, the other spirits were also quietly hiding in the bushes, some excited, some nervous, and some expressionless. As for the others, they have already been in place.

At this moment, it is already the end of the day.

It's almost time.

Lijie looked up and glanced at the sun in the sky. At the same time, she mentally counted the time, but in front of her eyes, there was still no trace of the enemy, there was silence all around, and the far end of the horizon was only the air that was slightly distorted by the heat wave, and there was not half a figure in sight.

Could it be that I am mistaken? Shouldn't this be? Lijie was very sure that she was absolutely not mistaken, in order to figure out the route of the enemy's possible surprise attack. Not only did she go through all the maps of the fortress, but she also made a point of checking with Garcia Commander and those soldiers, if she wanted to pass through it as quickly as possible in the shortest time, then this path was undoubtedly the best choice, and it was because of this that Lijie was so sure that the main force of the other party would definitely choose this path.

But now...............

"Rustling ......"

Just as Lijie was thinking. Suddenly, the bushes around her shook, and then Joey felt out of it like a ghostly shadow, and he quickly ran to Lijie's side, and then smiled at her.

"Here it is, Miss Lijie, just as you expected!"

"How many?"

"Three thousand five hundred people, hey, it seems that Uncle Marfa is right again, I said why is he such a crow's mouth. It's really a trouble to have so many enemies, but if your plan can really succeed, then our brother will also make money, hey, less than 200 people killed 3,500 cavalry, if this is rumored——— who will dare to underestimate our Starlight Guild in the future? ”

"What about the flag? Whose flag is it? Is it a two-headed lion? ”

"Ah, it's not, the flag is white on a blue background, and a white dove in the middle."

"White dove?"

Hearing Joey's return, Lijie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Sure enough, things went wrong. Originally, she and Garcia and Seven Love all thought. Such an important task as a raid must be entrusted to the most capable commander. As a commander, Dade should choose to go into battle in person, after all, the feint attack is just a cover, and even this is not a conspiracy but a conspiracy, so whoever is replaced to be the commander who contains the forces of the fortress is actually the same. But now, it's not General Dade who is leading this team? So who will it be?

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's always going to be fought anyway, isn't it?"

"That's right, how long will it take for them to arrive?"

"In a few minutes, they'll be not far from here."

Hearing Joey's words, Lijie came back to her senses, and then she nodded vigorously as she clenched her fists.

"Joey, go and inform Lando, Mr. Marfa and Miss Seven Love, the enemy is about to arrive at their destination, let them start the operation according to the original plan."

"Understand, rest assured that it's on me."

"Ah, by the way, Joey, you traps............ Is there really no problem? ”

"Put a hundred hearts on you, Miss Lijie, no matter how stupid I am, I won't be stupid enough to joke with myself about this thing."

Hearing Lijie's uneasy inquiry, Joey smiled, and then he waved his hand, and the whole person burrowed into the grass like a ghost shadow again, and disappeared. And it wasn't until his shadow completely disappeared that Li Jie retracted her gaze and looked forward again, I don't know if Lu Dao is an illusion, soon, she felt that the earth was slowly shaking, and there was even a faint sound of horses' hooves in her ears, but Li Jie soon knew that Lu Dao was not her own illusion——— because at this time, Anne, who was lying on the ground leisurely and looked like she was taking a nap, suddenly turned over and jumped up, she opened her eyes, and pressed the pure gold heavy shield pressed on the ground with her right hand, The whole person looked ahead like a beast about to gallop out.

Lijie's eyes widened and she looked in Annie's direction.

Soon, at the far end of the horizon, which was originally empty, black figures appeared from it, and thousands of well-equipped cavalry rode their horses and whips all the way to gallop all the way, in this group of cavalry, Li Jie could clearly see a white dove logo with a blue background and white borders waving in the wind, it was obvious that this was the symbol of the commander of this army. It's about to arrive, it's about to arrive, watching these cavalry get closer and closer to her, Li Jie can't help but become more and more excited and nervous, she stares at these cavalry, and at the same time calculates the casting distance of herself and others and the running speed of these cavalry, as well as the space and position needed for the next battle, and at this time, these cavalry have galloped all the way to a short distance in front of them. Lijie could even clearly see the patterns of the armor they were wearing, and the hot air that those horses speezed when they sneezed, but even so, she still held her breath, waiting for the best time, these cavalry didn't seem to care, or they didn't notice the presence of Lijie and the others, they just stared ahead, and ran forward quickly. For them, time is of the essence right now, and they probably don't have any extra time to waste here.

Soon, more than half of the cavalry had rushed past Lijie's side, and it was at this time that the girl finally made up her mind.

It was at this moment that Lijie finally stood up, and then, she raised her right hand.

It's now, get ready to attack~!!
