Chapter Eighty-Eight: Winter Twilight (Part II)

"Don't be in such a hurry, it hasn't come here yet. Roland sighed as he looked at the lightning bolt that was about to try.

God knows how interested she would be in challenging the evil beast, obviously not the type suitable for fighting, but there is no fear that ordinary people should have in the face of evil beasts. "As you did with the first one, don't be pushy, you're just luring the beast and focusing its attention on you. Keep your altitude high! It can't fly, but it's also dangerous when it jumps!"

"Yes, yes," Lightning said confidently, "I figured out the details of the first one when it came, and rest assured, it couldn't even touch the corners of my clothes." ”

As he spoke, the hybrid beast was already approaching the wall, crossing an obstacle area, and leaping towards the undefended section, and climbed onto the wall. This time, however, no militia members paid any attention, and they remained in their defensive sector, waiting for the next order from the Orion Observers.

"Then, the special operation against the hybrid evil beast starts now!" Roland said in a deep voice.

The lightning that had already flown out stopped again, and looked back at Roland.

"What's wrong?"

"You ...... that," Lightning thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's a little strange." Forget it, I'm off. ”

Looking at the little girl's figure quickly moving away, Roland smiled awkwardly and asked Anna and Nightingale behind him, "Do you think it's strange too?"

"Hmm. The two nodded in unison.

All right...... It seems that the lines of middle two are still middle two even if they are placed in the other world, "Then you guys should go too, pay attention to safety." ”

"Your Highness, too," Nightingale bowed, then took Anna's hand and stepped into the mist.

Roland put his hands behind his back, standing in the wind, trying his best to pretend that the big boss should be. He knew that many people would sneak back to him in the midst of a respite from battle, so that, despite the numbness of his feet, he stood at the highest point of the wall for all to seeβ€”the prince was with them at all times. Since he can't personally go into battle, he can at least motivate people in this way.

This beast attack has exceeded the intensity of any previous attack. According to the Iron Axe, in previous years, in the entire Demon Month, only one or two mixed species would appear, but counting the current one, this year, the border town has encountered four mixed evil beasts. The duration was also extraordinarily long, and the evil beasts kept appearing from the Hidden Forest, rushing towards the city walls in groups of dozens.

Fortunately, the production of flintlock pistols has increased significantly in the last month, and now the musket team of 100 men is fully armed, otherwise it is really impossible to guarantee such an efficient killing speed. If it's a bow and crossbow, I'm afraid it's hard to wind it now. In a protracted battle, the advantage of muskets for a relatively small physical exertion will become more apparent. Of course, the sharp increase in the consumption of gunpowder was enough to cause Roland a headache, and he was already thinking about dismantling all the more than 20 packs of explosives in the warehouse and retrieving the gunpowder for the musket team.

On the other side, lightning had already struck the head of the hybrid beast. She pulled a stone out of her pocket and threw it at the beast. The stone landed accurately on the opponent's head, and the sudden blow caused it to jerk backwards, only to realize that the attack was actually from the air.

The lightning defiantly lowered its altitude, passed in front of it, and flew close to the ground towards the center of the town. Although the hybrid beast has a certain ability to think, the little girl in front of her is obviously judged to be not a threat. It immediately swooped up, spread its wings, and glided nearly 100 meters in a few take-offs. The lightning immediately pulled himself up, turned around in the air, and went around several bungalows and turned into another street.

In this way, she lured the enemy to the central square of the town, which was also the location of the attack she and Nightingale agreed upon. Due to the lion's keen sense of smell, even nightingales in the fog can be spotted, so they must try to get the beast's attention as much as possible before Nightingale and Anna attack.

The lightning was perfectly done, and the hybrid was now clearly furious, and the growing manic animalism overshadowed the little sanity, and it opened its mouth wide and jumped into the air several times, but the lightning, which did not have any weight on it, was far more agile than the beast, and she teased each other up and down, so that every time it jumped in vain.

The nightingale had also reached the square from the other direction - unlike the lightning, after entering the fog, she completely ignored the houses and fences on the way, and proceeded in a straight course. Anna's flame is only ten paces (5 meters) away, and must be approached from behind the tail to reduce the chance of being spotted by the beast.

There were quite a few mistakes in dealing with the first hybrid, but by this moment Nightingale was fully familiar with Anna's attack, and when she was still thirty steps away from the beast, she increased her speed to the limit, and the ground seemed to be shortened in an instant, almost crossing the remaining distance in one step, and when Anna came back to her senses, the monster's tail was almost in her face.

"It's now!" cried the nightingale.

The black and white world around Anna faded like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, she was back in that familiar town square. The green flame crept into his fingertips, then expanded into a massive flame cage, enveloping the beast in it.

The nightingale retreated quickly, and the heat in her face was already burning pain.

In the heat that could melt steel, the beast didn't even have time to struggle before it turned into a ball of fire and crashed to the ground.

"Looks like they've solved it," Wendy, who was acting as a temporary guard instead of Nightingale, pouted at the turquoise flames rising in the distance, "It seems that I didn't do anything......"

"If you could, I hope you don't have to go to war," Roland said, still standing with his hands behind his back, pretending to be relaxed. Having said that, he knew in his heart that if there were no witches to join the defense line to help fight today, the militia would inevitably be in chaos in the face of the hybrid beasts that could fly over the walls.

Even Nanava had come under the city walls, under the protection of Baron Tigus, to quickly heal the wounded warriors. It was the first time Roland had revealed the power of witches in front of all the militiamen, and he was very pleased with the results. Nanawa, known as the healing angel in the ranks, apparently took the prestige of the witch community to a new level, and the crowd erupted in cheers after Anna and Nightingale teamed up to kill the first hybrid on the city walls.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible for everyone to not mind this, and such a situation was very rare. After there is a preliminary consensus among the militia, his next plan will be much easier to implement.

Suddenly, the gunfire on the walls thinned out, and Roland noticed that the beasts were beginning to withdraw from the walls. Did they retreat? He couldn't believe his eyes. At that moment, a ray of light from the sky pierced through the thick clouds and spilled onto the ground, followed by a second, a third...... Soon, the gray sky was pierced by thousands of rays of light, and all the rays merged with each other, becoming dazzling and incomprehensible. The earth suddenly brightened.

"The day the sun rises again is the end of the evil moon. 」

There was a brief lull on the walls, and then a wave of cheers swept over the border lines. Gradually, the townsfolk came out of the house and shouted. For this long-lost sunshine, to spend the winter safely for themselves, and for their prince, cheer. All the voices finally converged into a torrent that resounded throughout the border town!-
