Chapter 450: Alyssa's Counterattack (5k)
In the tent under the moonlit night, Alyssa Arkat suddenly appeared in front of Katya, who frowned, and expressed her thoughts on the current situation. However, in the face of the girl's initiative, Katya hesitated for a while. But immediately refused.
"No, the pagan legion doesn't matter, you can't go to the battlefield, collect intelligence, and complete your own tasks."
The black-haired man said this with a firm attitude, and when she heard Katya's words, Alyssa was not surprised. In fact, the girl had already guessed her father's thoughts to some extent.
Although Katya has always treated Alyssa as her own, but the girl has a layer of identity that cannot be taken off, that is, Alyssa is the daughter of a comrade-in-arms who once died for protecting Katya, as long as this identity Now, it is difficult for Katya to really send the girl to the battlefield.
The guilt in his heart made the Marquis prefer to send his own son to the front line rather than let Alyssa take risks, but this is completely unacceptable for the girl. According to the information that Alyssa has, Roja has entered Eric's territory. , what might happen next, Alyssa can actually roughly guess.
Roja has been promoted to source level 3, and he is still accompanied by the elite of the pagan legion. In the form of the current battlefield, I am afraid that it is impossible to think of the front line. If you can't successfully persuade Katya this time, then the whole war Ellie Sha can only be a spectator, watching her elder brother fight against the enemy.
The army is different from other organizations. Without Katia's order, even Alyssa would not dare to leave easily. The girl who thought of this place took a deep breath and watched the middle-aged man speak again.
"Father... You want to transfer your elder brother to stop the Nishizawa family?"
"..."
Facing Alyssa's question, the black-haired man fell silent for a while, but seeing Katia like this, Alyssa was even more sure of her thoughts.
I have to find a way to get my father to agree, but how...
The thoughtful girl clenched her hands lightly, and did not immediately refute Katya's words, but continued softly:
"Father, there are many monsters on the border between the Ecclesiastical Nation and the Austin Empire. My ability can control them to a certain extent. Together with the pagan legion and the pro-military elite, I can still hold the enemy temporarily, as long as I wait until With the arrival of the elder brother, the situation on the battlefield should be able to restore stability."
"Maybe it is, but you are still underage and can't go to the battlefield. I will arrange others."
"Although I'm not an adult, but there are many examples of this age in the family history going to the battlefield, right? The elder brother is also, he was only ten years old when he took over the family, what am I..."
"No, you are different from those family members."
"!"
For Alyssa's reasoned and continuous petitions, Katya was a little anxious in her heart, and accidentally said something inappropriate, and the Marquis, who found that he had made a mistake, hurriedly recovered, but the expression on the silver-haired girl's face was already It was a big blow, and Alyssa's eyes were reddish, and she spoke again with a hoarse voice.
"Father, after so many years, is it still an outsider in your heart?"
"No, Alyssa, that's not what I meant, it's just that this mission is too dangerous..."
"Brother can take risks, why can't I? If you still regard me as a member of the family, then please give me this task and let me do my part for the family at this time of crisis."
The girl lowered her head as she said this, and Katya's face became tangled when she heard the words. Alyssa's request was unacceptable to the Marquis who remembered her former subordinates, but if she did not agree, it seemed that it would greatly hurt Alyssa's family. people's feelings.
Looking at the silver-haired girl's red eyes, Katya couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. Lord Marquis asked himself, if Alyssa was her biological daughter, he would have immediately agreed to her request. Although the result of the current rejection was protection, the process Does it represent discrimination?
After his face changed for a long time, Lord Marquis let out a long sigh. He looked at the silver-haired girl in front of him, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, Alyssa, I'll leave it to you over there. You don't have to worry about the command. I will send someone specially. As long as you persist until Roja arrives, you can come back."
"I see, thank you, Father."
"Well, it's very late, let's have a good night's rest, and we'll be leaving tomorrow."
"Yes."
The silver-white-haired girl clenched her fists excitedly in answering this. She leaned over and gave a salute. The figure slowly disappeared. When she reappeared under the moon, the tears in the girl's eyes had long since disappeared, and her face was already filled with an uncontrollable smile.
Although it was very difficult, Alyssa still won the gamble. The next girl will no longer be a spectator off the field, but will be able to stand with the black-haired boy.
"three days left."
Looking at the news of Roja in her hand, the silver-haired girl muttered to herself like this, looking up at the sky with longing.
-------------------------------------------------- --
The movement of troops and horses is often sudden and rapid, and this is the same for both the Caesar family and the Akate family. Immediately pull out, and quickly approach the distant border.
Although there are not many people, only a few thousand, the mobilization this time is extremely eye-catching.
Bai is a force that may change the direction of history. Intelligence personnel on one side of the Church are constantly coming and going throughout the day, while the Duke of Berkeley has personally come to observe the situation in the camp of Caesar on the other side.
Involving a huge country at the least cost is tantamount to diverting a thousand pounds. In Roja's previous life, such a task may not be realistic, but in Shia, the power of high-level extraordinary people can be converted into military power to a certain extent.
Berlik himself is a source level 2 extraordinary person, and the soldiers he leads are also elites in the territory. Although there are fewer than ten thousand people, the actual combat effectiveness is almost five times that of the standing corps. If you want to repel such an army, in the west Duke Ze seems to need at least the allied army to split up.
As long as it can attract tens of thousands of troops, Duke Caesar's mission will be completed. After that, whether the Austin Empire sends troops to rescue because it is under siege, or the lack of troops in Edgar City is disadvantageous to attack the city. The purpose of seriously hurting the country's strength can be achieved, but what he didn't expect was that after a day of waiting, the information he got surprised him.
The Allied Forces of the Church and Nations sent troops, but not only did they not reach tens of thousands of troops, they were even smaller than them.
Obviously, this way of coping is far from Berkeley's idea, and it also puzzled him. The elite of the Arkat family was damaged in the early days of the war. This is what Berkeley has already investigated. The Marquis of Arkat must be in the rear. Under the command, such a remnant should not be able to stop them.
Abandoned son?
The middle-aged duke, who thought so, shook his head. It was really hard to imagine that someone would use the elite of the family as cannon fodder, but if it was not an abandoned son, who would lead this army? Where did the odds come from?
Now it is not only the flag of the army, but Berkeley's own flag is also erected in the army. The intelligence department of the teaching country should not misjudge their strength too much. Is there some famous general or strong man?
So many questions have not been answered. The only thing that can be known is that the troop sent is from the Akater Territory. The Duke of Berkeley is not surprised by this, just quietly waiting for the confrontation, but what he did not expect is Another mishap occurred.
After a day, the mighty army of the Akart family crossed the plains and quickly approached the Duke Caesar army, but unexpectedly did not directly face the army of the Caesar family, but turned and quickly approached the border. The nearby forest, and then plunged into it.
? ? ?
For this sudden mysterious operation, let alone ordinary soldiers, even the well-informed Duke of Berkeley was dumbfounded for a while.
The forest march, this kind of situation also exists in the history of Shia, the most famous is the mountain legion of the ancient Austin Empire, but today, without the ancient equipment and technology, the forest march has become a taboo in the military.
Entering the forest to cover the marching route, and then rushing out for a surprise attack at night is also a tactic, but before that, a large number of humans entering will anger the monsters with territorial awareness, not to mention near the border that neither side is willing to clear, here Almost a paradise for monsters.
The use of wrong tactics that do not conform to the local situation, followed by the war between the army and the beast tide, this is a mistake often made by generals with little actual combat experience to misjudge the local situation, the Duke of Berlik never thought that he would be in such a Seeing this kind of situation on the battlefield, he even suspected fraud for a while, but the secret report from the spy made him feel relieved.
"The Akart family sent an underage child this time? Haha, no wonder they made such a low-level mistake."
After learning about the main characters in the enemy army in detail, the Duke of Berlik can be said to be furious. He is naturally unwilling to face an overly powerful enemy, but to send an underage child to deal with him, in the Duke's view But it was an insult to him, and with this information, the strange movements of the enemy can be explained.
"On paper, it's understandable for a little girl who doesn't know the military to use such stupid tactics. I'm afraid we don't need to start this war."
The Duke of Berkeley, who made such a judgment, shook his head secretly at Katya's use of people, sighing that a general was incompetent and exhausted the three armies, and the generals in the army could not help laughing. Such news was mixed with optimism. In the army led by Caesar The spread made the soldiers gradually let go of their vigilance and prepare to see a rare joke.
When the sun rises tomorrow, it is estimated that when Akate led the army to flee the forest in embarrassment, driven by monsters, this is the common judgment of everyone, but what the soldiers did not know is that in the sunset forest, with them. Imagine a completely different scenario is quietly happening.
-------------------------------------------------- -----
In the forest at night, the girl illuminated by the silver moon has a completely different beauty than usual.
The silver threads shining in the moonlight are scattered, the red pupils have a soft smile, the exquisite body is decorated with exquisite armor made of mithril, the slender waist is tight, and the calf usually hidden in the skirt is also exposed. out.
In the dark night, the girl's body seemed to be shrouded in a hazy light, like a fairy in the forest, full of dreamlike beauty, and the appearance of wearing armor made her like a Valkyrie who fell into the mortal world, mysterious and sacred. , these two completely different temperaments appeared in Alyssa's body at the same time, harmonious and unified.
However, it was such a beautiful scene that the soldiers who followed the girl didn't dare to look at it at all. They were trembling, and even tried to breathe lightly, lest they anger the behemoth under the girl.
"Huh? So it is, you were injured by such a guy, but human life is very short, he may have already
You die in one step. "
In the peaceful and quiet forest, the silver-haired girl looked at the sky in the deserted place and spoke like this, as if she was chatting with someone, and under her, a huge eight-legged deer was lying in the vast expanse. Inside the cave, let the girl touch her.
Half of the huge monster's body is underground, but only the part that sticks out of the ground is as huge as a hill, its hideous antlers are like strange towering trees, and its four red eyes make people shiver just by looking at it. Around him, in the darkness, there are countless beast pupils that glow.
The Lord of Calamity, this is the name given to this monster beyond common sense by the mountain people on the frontier. It is also a troll of the Austen Empire hundreds of years ago. Before it was expelled by the powerful knights, it was considered It is the incarnation of disaster and death, but today, this monster who has never shown kindness to humans lowered its head and chatted with the girl in the dark.
With a thrilling and beautiful girl and a terrifying legendary monster, such a surreal chat combination makes people suspect that they are in a dream. Before coming here, even the pagan legion who knew Alyssa's ability did not expect, what the girl said Asking for help is to find such monsters.
She stroked the fur under her body and gently injected life energy into it. The silver-haired girl continued to chat with the huge monster. The silver bird was flying around her, and the night wind kept blowing until the moon rose to the sky. In the middle, Alyssa finally exhaled and raised her hand.
"Well, that's about it."
After stroking the giant deer under her body twice, the silver-haired girl walked out of the huge cave, and behind her, the incarnation of Calamity also stood up again after a long time. Muscles and fur quickly grew out of the cavity, and powerful momentum and magic power fluctuations began to surge into the sky like a hurricane.
"Ow—!"
The eight-legged giant deer stood up, and its huge body could not cover even the towering trees that were hundreds of thousands of years old. .
However, the next moment, with the call of the silver-haired girl, everything came to an abrupt end. The huge monster restrained its breath and lowered its head, and made an intimate tweet in front of the girl, while Alyssa reached out and rubbed the giant deer in a soothing way. the mandible.
"Then, it's almost time to go, let's treat it as a celebration tonight."
Saying so, Alisa looked into the distance, and as if answering the girl, the huge monster also stepped forward.
-------------------------------------------------- -------
"Haha, did you hear the voice just now? The idiots of the Church seem to be in trouble."
"That voice looks like a big guy."
In the camp of the Caesar Army, the soldiers were chatting and laughing with each other. Not long ago, a thick roar of fierce beasts could be heard from the forest where the Akat family army entered. Arrived, the warriors who had already heard the rumors woke up and went back to sleep, lamenting the folly of the enemy.
There is no doubt that the other party has angered the owner of the forest, and in this land, this kind of behavior also means death to some extent, because the one who is entrenched on this border is not the ordinary king of monsters, but the one who once ran rampant in the Some ancient monster of the empire.
The guards discussed the legends of monsters with each other, and looked into the distance waiting for the remnant soldiers holding torches to escape from the forest. After all, in the eyes of everyone, there was no chance of winning the battle against the terrifying monster. However, to their surprise, The speed of the enemy's escape from the forest seemed to be too fast.
Looking at the little lights that quickly rushed out of the forest in the distance, the guards were puzzled. However, gradually, everyone's expressions began to change, because they found that the ground began to tremble, and the light that flashed in the darkness did not seem to be torches. , but a pair of monsters with strangely bright eyes.
"Ow—!"
The familiar cry came again, but this time it was unusually clear. The dark clouds drifted past, the silver moon reappeared, and the head of the huge monster above the forest stuck out, watching the silver-haired girl's enemy from a distance, and also for Caesar. The army brought boundless fear.
"that is!"
Under the strong premonition of crisis unique to high-level superhumans, the Duke of Berkeley rushed out of his account and looked at the giant in the distance. The face of the middle-aged man was as dignified as water for a while. Until this time, he finally understood why the enemy chose Entering the forest, I finally knew what the opponent's chances were, but it was too late.
The night of beast roars and bloody aura began, and in the distance, under the same night sky, a thousand-person team moved quickly on the road by the moonlight. The black-haired boy on the horse frowned tightly, recalling Looking up at the sky with the received letter.
"Must be faster."
Talking to himself like this, Roja, who was worried about the girl, let go of the reins and walked quickly forward.
