Chapter 553: Battle Results
"Jewel Goo?" Maisie brushed away the white hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of large, curious eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's a magic stone," Agatha picked up the stone on the ground and looked at it for a moment, "I don't know what type it is, but if you look at the color, it should be a high-quality Divine Punishment Stone before transformation." β
"The high-level devil's loot will definitely not be bad," Ye Zi smiled, "I just didn't expect it to hide the box in its body." β
"Well, if that were the case, would the other devils have such boxes on them?" said Maisie excitedly, "I'll go find out!"
"Be careful not to touch the jar where the red mist is stored!" Agatha admonished.
Half an hour later, Maisie ran over again with two black boxes in her hands, "Searched from the devil in colorful clothes!"
The nightingale still pulled out the magic stones, but this time the stones looked duller and smaller, but there were quite a few of them.
Agatha gathered the magic stones together and couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?" asked Nightingale, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Magic Stone...... It seems like too much. β
"Isn't it good to have more?"
She shook her head slightly, "There are thousands of Fear Demons that the Federation has slain, and if the magic stones are so easy to obtain, the Exploration Society will not be bothering to capture and raise Chaos Beasts." Why do they carry so many magic stones with them?"
"Probably over the past four hundred years, right?" said Nightingale with an ugly smile, "like an unlucky guy who managed to save up a sum of money and decided to go home and farm after this job, and we shot him dead, and the whole inheritance cost us." β
No one laughed out loud, and everyone realized the meaning behind this - if a huge race had never stopped producing magic stones for four hundred years, how far would their war resources have accumulated?
"Forget it, it's useless to think about it," Agatha broke the silence after a brief moment of coldness, "We don't have a second way anyway. β
......
The First Army finally arrived in the woodland under the guidance of lightning.
"You're all alright!" Wendy anxiously jumped from behind the lightning bolt and checked each sister one by one, "Anna, she's ......"
"Don't worry about the coma caused by the running out of mana," Nightingale comforted, "and everyone is fine. β
"I've said it a long time ago," Lightning's head was already bandaged, revealing only the fine bangs on his forehead, "but Sister Wendy still urged me hard." β
"Thisβthis is ...... What!" Brian looked at the corpses lined up on the ground in surprise, "Are they devils?"
"That's right, dead devil," said Nightingale, shrugged, "and you have to have the soldiers bring them all back, and not a single piece of meat, armor, clothing, or weapons to carry is missing, this is your Majesty's order." β
"Yes!" Upon hearing the order, Brian suddenly became serious, "I'll arrange for someone to do it." β
"It's a pity that we haven't been able to catch a living devil," Agatha sighed, "and the plan to make the sigil has been postponed again." β
"Living devils?" said Lightning, tilting his head, "probably yes!"
"What?" everyone looked at her, "where?"
"I'm not sure," she blinked, "if the devil could swim, then it might still be alive." β
......
In the afternoon, the paddle steamer left the river bank and turned around to return to Neverwinter.
The deck of one of the ships was filled with curious and bewildered soldiers of the First Army.
"This is the enemy we will face in the future?"
"It doesn't look good, except it's bigger. β
"Shhh
"That's right, those who died must be extremely vicious, at least much more difficult to deal with than the evil beasts, even Anna-sama has been tricked. The other nodded and added, "She was alone in blocking the breach in the wall, blocking the onslaught of the evil beasts. β
This statement was echoed by most of the soldiers.
"Ah...... I was there that day, and Lady Anna saved my life!"
"If it weren't for her, I'd have been trampled to death by a wild boar breed. β
"It's a pity that Miss Angel isn't here, otherwise they would have gotten better in no time. β
Standing at the stern of the boat, Nightingale and Agatha looked at each other, smiling and shaking their heads.
Now these ordinary people see witches as companions who can fight side by side, which is a new feeling for both of them - a witch empire who originally lived in a witch empire that treated mortals as slaves, and the other who was once in hiding in Tibet, ostracized and persecuted by the people...... Although the content of the feelings is diametrically opposed, it is no less incredible.
"What do you think?" asked the nightingale, with a sigh of relief.
"Do you mean a lost test item?" Agatha laughed, "I guess I guess I guess I was lucky." β
The soldiers watched the drowning maniac who was imprisoned in an iron cage.
As Lightning said, the hapless devil was swept away by the scorching flames of the hydrogen balloon's explosion, and only regained consciousness after falling into the water, but his body was so badly injured that he struggled for a long time before he could not swim back to shore, and was finally captured by the searching Maisie, who according to the latter, might not have noticed the other party if it had not been for its loud roar. Apparently the madman took Maisie as a rescue monster, and as soon as she landed, she became a captive of the witch.
Considering that Ife's magic and physical strength had reached the limit, and there might not be a way to trap the devil for too long, everyone finally decided to cut off the devil's limbs and let Agatha freeze the wounds. This way, enemies cannot kill themselves until the red mist is depleted, nor do they die immediately.
"I didn't expect to be able to successfully complete the task after such a big change, and I was indeed lucky enough. The nightingale pouted.
"By the way, aren't you going to rest?" Agatha gestured to her waist.
"It's much better after applying the herbs," she said with a nonchalant wave of her hand, "Before I met His Majesty Roland, all the pains of the Mutual Aid Society were solved by leaves." β
"Thankfully, everyone is safe," Agatha let out a sigh, "I was negligent in this operation. β
"High Devils? That's not your fault. "No one knew that they would be alone in this remote place." β
"That's something I don't understand...... After all, they have always hid behind large armies, never acted alone, and their numbers were extremely rare. In the decades of fighting the Federation, all the high-ranking demons who showed up were recorded, including less than twenty who died in battle. She paused, "I thought I wouldn't have a chance to meet them until the red moon came, but when I saw those magic stones, I was suddenly unsure. β
Nightingale quickly understood what she meant, but as soon as she figured it out, a chill rose in her heart.
"I don't know the lifespan, growth limit, promotion path, and reproduction method of the devils, but what have they developed into in the past four hundred years?" said in a low voice, "If the enemy can accumulate a large number of magic stones, can they also accumulate a large number of high-level devils?"
