Pillars of Ita

"They are coming." Alyssa's tone was calm and restrained, as if she was stating a fact that was destined to happen.

Her eyes were staring at the distant pine forest, looking at the longing figures from there through the night. The people of the Falcon Group, AOA and Enigma finally couldn't hold back and began to take action.

Dalil turned the sword blade in his hand, letting the cold light on the sword reflect in his eyes. There was a line of small patterns engraved on it with elven characters, like flames growing on the blade, engraved - When the severe winter comes, the shadows and accompanying.

The blade of the sword is as bright as a piece of ice.

After the battle, all three of them had lost some of their physical strength, but Miss Catman was still able to keep her composure, and the maidservant stood aside with a calm expression, staring at the back of her own lady——

Sylvide was placing one hand on the side of the ship and holding a scope with the other hand. She squinted at it and then turned back to Alyssa and asked: "How about taking a rest?"

"Miss Sylvide, are you coming?" Alyssa blinked and asked in disbelief.The Ship Officer is the best navigator, helmsman, cartographer, and even serves as the communications officer and some logistics duties on the Seven Seas Traveler. However, except for self-protection, the opponent rarely participates in battles.

Generally speaking, Siesta will protect her, and the maid is also one of the most important combatants on the ship.

Sylvide pulled out the silver handgun - after giving the lion handgun to Ai Xiaoxiao, she replaced it with a new one, of course there was also a pair, and the other one was also in Fang Plover's hand - and opened it with her thumb. Hammer, then patted the holster of the long gun hanging on one side, smiled and said: "Let me try it."

Alyssa glanced at the former silently.

Her black gem-like eyes were mixed with a touch of lavender, which was the change brought about by the shadow dancer's professional ability, which allowed her to penetrate the secrets behind the shadows and even enter the world behind the dark door - but Sylvie De was shrouded in shadow without any change. The ubiquitous ether veins only flickered with undetectable light dust, like an invisible barrier, making the shadow stop around this noble daughter.

Miss Nightingale curled her fingers and gently swept the hanging curled hair from front to back. Her pale face seemed to reflect the cold moonlight. There was not much expression on her face, but she knew in her heart that it was the power of the blessing of the elements.

"The blessing of the earth comes from Alphonse, the tyrant of the elements. She must not only have the ability to perceive - she may not be satisfied with just standing behind everyone and being protected by everyone, but also wants to fight side by side with us... …”

She thought to herself, and couldn't help but sigh at the good luck of their captain.

On the other side of the Star Gate, it was already difficult to find such a valuable girl, even including herself.

She nodded slightly towards the other party and retracted the long dagger tightly in her hand: "I will help you sweep the formation."

Sylvester smiled gratefully in response.

After all, Alyssa is not a powerful woman like the Holy Knight, nor is she a tireless maid. She is just a nightingale with not very high physical fitness. The continuous battles have indeed made her feel a little strenuous, not to mention her contribution in that battle just now. The most.

She doesn't really need any special rest, she can just be ready to replace Sylvester at any time.

"That's that... I'm responsible for covering the puppet sister." Tianlan quickly raised her hand.

She seemed to have realized that it was more unsafe to stay alone. Besides, the poet did have some auxiliary abilities, such as three poems that inspired courage and cold jokes that disturbed the enemy's mind. Regardless of the level, they would always be boosted by the magical harp. Use it.

Dalil glanced at her while holding his sword, "In the Shadow Grove, the priests are all walking with us. Little Tianlan, how does your ability compare with the chants of the priests?"

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make sure I won't hold you back, Sister Muppet."

Dariel nodded.

Baggins also pulled out his scimitar and made a sword dance: "The ship is short of manpower. Can we also participate in this battle?"

The sailor glanced back. Although the repair of the Seven Seas Traveler was running against time, this battle was related to life and death. As long as the Falcon Corps, AOA and Enigma were defeated, they would have a stable period of time. .

When Sylvide heard this, she looked at Tata beside her. Miss Goblin also came here from the main control room at some point, looking at everyone and gently nodding.

Adni stood behind everyone, her face hesitating for a moment. Her purpose was not to put herself in danger. She couldn't help but wonder whether her previous decision was a correct one?

Was it right or wrong to decide to be with these people in the first place?

But she quickly realized that even if she was alone, she would not be able to escape so easily. If she had not relied on the help of everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade, she would not have been able to discover her father's laboratory so quickly.

Once the gray fog disappears, those outside will also discover this place.

She lowered her gaze slightly, not to mention that she really needed to use the Seven Seas Traveler to get there - she looked at Siesta's back to one side, and felt a little relieved - if these people are related to that one...

The girl's eyes gradually became firm. She took her forging hammer from the hook of her belt and held it in her hand, tightening her palm.

Sylvide noticed the changes here in detail, looked at her and said: "Miss Adni, you just need to protect yourself."

"Don't worry about me, everyone," Adni shook her head, "I'm not powerless. Since I agreed to join you, at least we are still allies on this ship. How could I hide alone? On the side.”

Her words did not dispel the doubts in the hearts of Alyssa and Sylvester. Both of them were obviously aware of this young lady's other thoughts, but at least she won everyone's temporary favor. The ship officer lady also represents the Seven Seas Brigade. He nodded slightly to her.

"Then we are each responsible for a direction," Sylvide said. "The air combat deck will be left to you, Miss Dariel. When the Empire launches an attack later, they will definitely use flexible structures as the guide. We must ensure air superiority. .”

Miss Catman nodded.

Everyone went to their own precautionary areas, and Alyssa took over the work of the maid. Before leaving, Siesta glanced at her with some suspicion, and the meaningful look seemed to carry some warning-if the young lady had any shortcomings, Only you are asking...

Miss Nightingale only responded with an elegant smile.

She turned back and looked at the profile of Miss Ship Officer. When the moonlight stopped on the tip of the noble daughter's nose, she couldn't help but be startled - how could there be such a peerless face in this world? ——She took a gentle breath and asked:

"Is she always so worried about you?"

"Shesta has been with me since childhood," Sylvester looked at her and replied, "In my heart, she is the only relative besides my father."

"What about Captain?"

Sylvester smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.

"I'm just curious about where you and the captain are now," Alyssa asked, "Is there 'that'?"

Rao is as astute as a ship officer. She couldn't help but cough lightly when she heard this: "...Miss Alyssa."

"I understand, I understand," Miss Nightingale said with a very gossipy look, "But are you really not worried at all?"

"worry about what?"

"For example, the sea witch who suddenly arrived——"

Sylvester looked back at her.

A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he only smiled slightly: "You said Miss Miya... after all, she knew Ed before any of us. I know that there is a pure land in everyone's heart, and some memories have been buried. It will be remembered forever.”

"I won't blame anyone for this, but what about Miss Alyssa?"

"Me?" Miss Nightingale's light purple eyes flashed with confusion, and then she became a little panicked.

"What does this have to do with me," she coughed and shook her head vigorously, "I'm not interested in your captain at all. I only like truly mature men, forget about that dull guy."

"Ed, he did you a big favor. I know you feel a little guilty for staying in the Seven Seas Brigade."

Sylvide interrupted her softly: "We all know that there are military factors in this, but Miss Alisa, you don't have to bear any burden. There is nothing wrong with speaking your mind frankly. If the competition is fair, I won't I'll mind."

Alyssa was immediately defeated. "Miss Sylvide, let's get down to business...ahem."

Sylvide watched the other person blushing all the way to the root of her neck, and couldn't help but feel amused secretly, but since the young lady herself was not frank, she certainly had no obligation to take the initiative to tell the matter.

Naturally, she is not generous enough to share her love with others.

She pursed her lips slightly, raised the magic gun in her hand, and aimed it in the direction of the forest. The moonlight fell on the silver gun body, coating it with a layer of fluorescence, "Are you very concerned about Siesta's affairs?"

The blush on Alyssa's face did not fade, and she secretly scolded herself for unnecessary actions. She originally wanted to use this question to distract Sylvide, but unexpectedly, she dug a hole and fell into it.

However, she was still a little confused, thinking that she had nothing to feel guilty about, but why did she feel panicked at that time?
Is she really interested in that guy? But Miss Nightingale patted her cheek with her hand and thought that this must be impossible. "I'm just interested in gossip and news," she warned herself, and asked: "You How do you know I want to ask this?"

"You don't usually ask about Siesta," Sylvide smiled, while looking in that direction - the legendary forger who rashly broke in in the darkness went in the other direction, along with Baggins.She asked: "Do you want to ask Miss Adney?"

Alyssa glanced at her in surprise, and for the first time she felt like she had been seen through by an aborigine, "She pays unusual attention to Siesta, and you also noticed."

Sylvide nodded. "Shasta is from the Empire, and Adni is about the same age as you. Your father has met Sir Lynn, and her father may be the partner we are looking for with Sir Lynn. She Do you recognize Siesta?" Alyssa frowned and expressed her doubts.

"Miss Alisa, can you recognize your playmate from 20 years ago?"

"Of course I can't, but Miss Siesta..." Miss Nightingale hesitated before saying, "What was she like when you first saw her?"

"She was a little girl just like me. I was less than five years old at that time. My father who went to the empire brought her to me and told me to protect her..." Sylvide replied.

She took aim with the gun for a while, but was not satisfied, so she took it back and inserted it into the holster.At the same time, he took off his magic gun, opened the safety, put it on his shoulder, and aimed in the direction of the forest.

"I have never treated her as a servant," Sylvide seemed to know what Alyssa wanted to ask, "It's just that Siesta voluntarily wore a maid's outfit. I didn't want to despise her kindness, so I put my I entrusted my daily life to her care. Over the past ten years, she and I have grown up together, no different from ordinary people."

"So actually you have also doubted her origins," Alyssa asked. "In fact, everyone has speculated on Miss Siesta's identity, but because of her own wishes, she is unwilling to talk about the past of the empire, and we also I didn’t ask any further questions.”

"Now we all know Miss Leila's situation. Sir Lyn is not her real father, but..."

"Shh, Alyssa." Sylvester interrupted softly.

Miss Nightingale looked at her.

The noble daughter was holding the magic gun out of the side of the ship. She tilted her head, resting her cheek on the butt of the gun, and squinted one eye. In the direction where the muzzle of the gun was pointing, the first wave of figures had already appeared in the shadow-filled forest. Those are the people of Falcon Group, AOA and Enigma.

"They are here."

Sylvide spoke and pulled the trigger at the same time. The hammer hit the medicine chamber with sparks, igniting the multiple magic circles behind it and stimulating the magic crystal that had been placed there. The blooming elemental energy pushed the bullet out of the gun chamber. , turned into a screaming air current.

She is a professional gunslinger, and the magic gun she uses is no more 'ornament' than the one in Miss Nightingale's hand. Higher-level elemental crystals bring more powerful power. This kind of magic gun equipped with high-level crystals Although it cannot be widely used in the hands of ordinary troops, it is surprisingly lethal in the hands of professionals.

The magic gun she used was called 'Silver Fire', which was a rare model on the market. Although her level only caught up with the large army after receiving the blessing of the elements, and she had not had time to replace it with a higher-level magic gun, this magic gun was The guided gun is also enough to pose a threat to these people below.

Fang Yu couldn't bear to let his ship officer use defective products, not to mention the gunslinger's attack ability was one of the best among long-range professions.

The only flaw of the magic gun is that it is too easy to guard against. As soon as it is fired, the sound and light effects will naturally attract the opponent's attention. Sure enough, as soon as the Seven Sea Traveler fired, the people below were aware of it.

An Enigma nightingale subconsciously rolled to one side, and the bullet hit a cloud of ash where it was originally. Seeing this scene, Sylvester put away her gun with some annoyance, feeling a little pity - she looked aside Alyssa:
"I won't interfere with Siesta."

"If you have questions about her past, ask her frankly, but if she doesn't want to answer, I won't force her."

"She was never my servant."

Alyssa nodded slightly and pulled out the pair of daggers from the scabbard again. Sylvide's shot gave her some new ideas. Of course she couldn't stop the opponent by herself, but if It's different when you have a sharpshooter covering the back.

She looked at the other person: "That was the power of elemental blessing just now?"

Sylvide nodded slightly.

The straight-line distance from the Seven Seas Traveler to the bottom is more than 500 meters. It is difficult for even a top ranger to effectively detect the enemy at this range. After all, the opponent is not an ordinary person. The first wave of attacks released by Enigma, AOA and the Falcon Group must be The elite Nightingales, Rangers and Shadow Dancers in their team.

These people are already good at sneaking, not to mention that in a suitable environment like a dense forest in the dark night, if Sylvide had not fired the shot just now, Alyssa herself would not have noticed that there was another person there.

The accuracy of that shot is self-evident. If not for the opponent's alertness, Enigma would have been reduced in number at this moment. Considering Ms. Ship Officer's normal level, this obviously cannot be attributed to the opponent's superb gun skills. Then only That's a possibility.

That is the sensing ability from the elemental blessing of Alphonse, the tyrant of the earth. As long as the target is not out of contact with the earth, they are like prey walking on the spider web, following every spider thread to capture them. The news was passed to the noble daughter.

She had just discovered that elemental blessings could be used in this way, so she took the initiative to ask for help.

"Please be careful, Miss Alyssa," Sylvide said to Alyssa, "If you don't have enough strength, go back."

Alyssa nodded slightly, she had originally had this idea.

She jumped forward and once again turned into a column of black smoke and flew out of the ship.

And Sylvide's shot also reminded the people below.

"The other side has gunmen," the Nightingale reported in the communication channel with a cold sweat. "The level is very high."

He looked in that direction from a distance, estimated the distance, and concluded: "At least level [-] and up."

Enigma, AOA and the commanders of the Falcon Regiment who were far behind naturally saw the fire coming from that direction. To be honest, Gray Wolf, Marshall and Ronos didn't know much about the members of the Seven Seas Brigade. Don’t even know how many there are.

The information coming from the empire was vague, and even the number of people in the team was inconsistent.

The most famous people of this team are naturally its leader, the famous Dragon Alchemist, and the other party's ship officer lady, the daughter of Sir Mawei, the daughter of the rebel wanted by Corin-Ithurian. .

But there are different opinions about the latter's profession. Some say that he is a fairy user, others say that he is a navigator or a cartographer, and some mention that the other party uses a magic gun, so he has the profession of gunslinger, but about this lady's The level is not expected to be too high.

After all, the other party is an aborigine.

"A gunslinger above level [-]?" Gray Wolf's first reaction after receiving the news was to question it. The news said that the only high-level professional the Seven Seas Brigade may have is a wizard, a woman, who once worked in astrology. The academy makes a scene and uses a super-circle spell.

But a high-ranking wizard is nothing, and their levels are not low either, but what about the gunslinger who suddenly appeared at level 35 or above? It’s not that the leader of the Seven Seas Brigade is also Is it just close to level [-]?
How can there be so many members in a team who are higher than the leader? The big one will lead the small one, right?I have never heard of the backing of this previously unknown small team. Could it be the military in the third division?

But the military shouldn't be so blatant, right?

The three of them couldn't help but glance at each other. At the beginning of the battle, another high-level professional appeared. This Seven Seas Brigade was really surprising, not to mention that the opponent's craftsman leader's combat effectiveness was almost equivalent to that of a second-level professional. Professional——

They had just witnessed it with their own eyes.

None of the combat craftsmen from the three parties can achieve that level, and it is still unknown whether they can achieve it together.

Then with the addition of this new gunslinger, there are three strong opponents. What's more, in the previous battle, the opponent's shadow dancer and the paladin from the second division both showed good combat effectiveness.

And that girl dressed as a maid.

Of course, it is impossible for a team with its own aerospace ship to have less than seven members. In their expectation, it is possible to have at least 20 people. If everyone has this level, it will even exceed——

The three of them couldn't help but retreat for a moment.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired. Since the attack order has been issued, no matter what, it has to be dealt with in one round. Otherwise, how will other people in this valley think?
In fact, the teams from other guilds have not left yet, they are just waiting to see their performance. In the minds of those people, if the three of them work together, the people from the Seven Seas Brigade will be the most unlucky, but if they just retreat like this.

Maybe those people will have other ideas.

The guild behind them is certainly not as good as behemoths like Prometheus, Gray Field and SOLID, but in this place, under the temptation of the obelisk, who can say better?

Maybe those people will join forces with the people from the Seven Seas Brigade.

Therefore, although the gray wolf felt a little uneasy at this moment, he still made up his mind. In short, he would attack for one round first.He looked at Marshall aside, and it was obvious that the latter had judged the same. Among the three, only Ronos looked particularly uneasy.

Gray Wolf looked at the other party and felt that the other party had gone too far, so he couldn't help but ask: "Ronos, what are you worried about?"

However, the other party only shook his head and said, "Nothing, just do as you say."

After saying that, he turned around so that no one else could see his face.

He just suddenly remembered something.

That rumor is related to something that happened in the second world...

When the Imperial Dragon Knight fell in Ayinbrok, some people had already guessed that. Astrologers had more than once observed the line of fate falling between the two worlds, and the same thing had already happened. It's not the first time this has happened.

Could it be related to that woman?

The gloom on Ronos's face deepened.
