Pillars of Ita

"Guy generator pressure is stable."

"The mainmast is normal."

"The cable system is normal."

"The hull is stuck!"

When the sail once again rose from the mainmast of the Seven Seas Traveler, the hull made a low roar and began to float slightly. Daryl and Alyssa cut off the giant branches blocking the hull, then grabbed the ladder and climbed up. Get on the ship's side.

The Seven Seas Traveler, which had lost its support, tilted slightly, but under the control of Ms. Tata, she released one wing sail with a "whoosh" and flapped it slowly to bring the ship back to the right position. Driven by the buoyancy generated by the Guy generator, it began to move toward the forest canopy. Floating above the layers.

"Put down the right wing sail."

"Hull balance."

"The sails are ready!"

There was a burst of cheers on the deck, Tian Lan was jumping for joy, turned around and stretched out her hand, high-fiving Adni beside her. Even the latter couldn't help but be infected by the poet lady, but she immediately looked at her hand and was startled.

The foundry girl raised her head, wiped the sweat with the back of her hand, and looked into the distance in silence.

She also had a share of credit for the repair of the Seven Seas Traveler, but she couldn't say that she gained any joy of success, only a faint sigh of relief. Adni looked at the dark forest, and the tight strings in her heart seemed to relax for a moment.

But this feeling immediately made her a little uneasy, and her heart trembled: "What's wrong with me?"

Even if they are temporarily out of trouble, who can guarantee that these temporary allies will be reliable? In her opinion, the chosen ones are always fickle. Although there is a contract, sometimes a contract is nothing. Neither the title of Dragon Alchemist nor the title of Sir Ma Wei's daughter was enough to make her feel safe.

She has so few allies in this world that she is almost alone.

"You have to be more careful," she told herself, "Adni."

Adni looked up and saw that the Seven Seas Traveler was slowly taking off. However, according to previous statements, they could not be said to be absolutely safe at this moment, or rather, the next moment would be the most dangerous moment.

There are some Imperial people below who are just about to make a move. If those people really have any thoughts about the Seven Seas Traveler, they will definitely take action before the Seven Seas Traveler takes off completely, and the last chance is now.

She realizes this, and so can everyone else. Far away in the valley, Marshall, Ronos and Gray Wolf watched the Seven Seas Traveler slowly take off. They watched each other raise the mast and lower the main sail, and their eyes couldn't help but glance to the other side of the valley.

Gray Wolf looked at that place and was the first to speak: "Just let them run away like this?" There was obvious reluctance in his tone.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing." Marshall looked at the light curtain in the valley. After a day, the light curtain covering the obelisk was becoming a little illusory, and even the obelisk inside was illusory. a bit.

But they didn't doubt that he was there, they just thought that this was a scene that must happen before the Mysterious Barrier disappeared. The power of the barrier had declined to a limit, which meant that it would open at any time. There was a more important goal in front of him, and he was unwilling to create extraneous problems.

"That's right." Gray Wolf sighed. They had already agreed on how to divide the profits and control other guilds in the valley, so the three brigades didn't have to fight each other.

He just looked at the people from other guilds who were ready to make a move, and said, "Just let them have fun——"

Of course, Gray Wolf didn't think that these people could stop a team with dragon knights, but they deliberately did not reveal this news in order to allow the other party to weaken some of the strength of these guilds. Otherwise, it would be difficult to suppress these guilds with their strength. trouble.

In short, no matter which side suffers a loss, it is something that the three elite brigades are happy to see. Gray Wolf believes that the other party will not trouble them because of this matter. If the people in the Seven Seas Brigade don't even care about the obelisk, how could they care about this?

Among the three of them, Ronos was the only one who remained silent, causing both Gray Wolf and Marshall to look at the leader of the Falcon Regiment twice, as if the other party had become interested in him since they learned of the dragon knight's existence. He has always looked so mysterious.

However, although the three elite brigades were united, they did not trust each other, so the gray wolf did not ask the question out of trouble.

"Hephaestus' people took action."

One sentence attracted the attention of three people at the same time.

Hephaestus is the god of fire in Greek mythology, the god of forging and masonry. The seventh-ranked guild in the first division uses his name as the symbol of the union, but the one here is of course not the main guild of Hephaestus. Like them, they are also members of the subordinate brigades affiliated with the branch guilds.

But the opponent's number was much greater than theirs. This time, four brigades from three branches came, but the rankings were basically unclear. Only one of the four brigades entered the top 20.00%. Others in Enigma, AOA, and the Falcon Group look like trash.

However, the advantage of having more people is that at least when the combat craftsmen of these teams release their flexible structures, they look mighty and quite spectacular. Moreover, they are not the only ones who take action. Hephaestus' people take action. Like a signal, the battle craftsmen from four or five guilds were connected to join.

Even Marshall, Gray Wolf, and Ronos couldn't help but feel a little lucky when they saw this scene. Fortunately, they had calculated against these Kaolin people. Otherwise, these people would have turned the spear against them, and it would have been really difficult for them to deal with it.

Alyssa and Daryl stood on the deck of the Seven Seas Traveler and saw this scene, their faces were a little solemn. The Seven Seas Traveler was slowly taking off at the moment. According to Ettaria's usual way, the other party had to pick them up if they wanted to stay. war.

But the air battle on the sea of ​​clouds is not good news for the weak party. The narrow deck limits the performance of her and Dariel. The same is true for the maid girl Shesta, the only one among them who has the wind element. Miya is the only one who is adaptable and can fight outside the deck.

This is the nobility of those who are adaptable to the wind element——

And even Miya, the sea witch is unlikely to be able to block the opponent's attack without using the dragon knight's ability. She may have no problem protecting herself, but protecting the Seven Seas Traveler is a bit impossible.

Once the opponent launches an attack on the core cabins of the Seven Seas Traveler, not to mention just one Sea Witch, even all the people on their ship will be overwhelmed and not enough. The personnel of the Seven Seas Traveler are too spread out. The shortcomings were revealed at this moment.

Of course, under normal circumstances, if Fang Plover is still there, they cannot be afraid of any frontal aerial confrontation. The dragon alchemist alone has the same frontal ability as the combat craftsmen of several brigades. This is the empire's side below. A fact that has already been witnessed.

They gathered so many people and so many flexible structures just to prevent this.

But at this moment, only Alyssa and others understood that they could no longer count on the support of the combat craftsmen. The leader was in a coma, and Miss Tata alone could not control the flexible structure without the combat craftsmen.

Miss Dragon Soul's ability to control the Seven Seas Traveler through Fairy Heart is already the limit.

And more importantly, the next breakout battle must be won cleanly. If the fight is too ugly, or the construct commanded by Fang Plover is delayed in showing up, it may lead to conflicts between Enigma, AOA and the Falcon Regiment. people's doubts.

The following people alone are fine, but if the other party is also attracted, the situation of the battle will be very difficult for them.

"Let me do it." Miya also understood that at this moment, caring about her identity would be a waste of time. "It may be one thing that my identity is exposed, but it will be more troublesome if I am left here. I will try to reveal it. Part of the dragon knight’s ability, but my dragon knight is still dormant. In fact, I can’t really control my own power, not to mention this is still the first world——”

She looked at the others: "I can only scare them first, everyone seize the opportunity."

"I understand." Tata's voice came from the microphone, "There are still some Lancers bound to the Fairy Heart on the air combat deck. Do you need me to release them to buy everyone some time?"

"No need," Miya said, "It's better to save them for a more critical time."

"Okay," Miss Longhun said in a calm voice, "Everyone, the first batch of air combat structures have entered the attack range. They are Banshee models. The carrier boats behind them are carrying landing personnel. Pay attention to the enemy. Invading the deck.”

Everyone nodded.

When the stars' lights rose into the sky, Marshall, Gray Wolf and Ronos, who were watching this scene from a distance, also noticed something unusual, "Why didn't they fight back?"

"Hephaestus's flexible structure has invaded the inner defense line of the sailboat. What is the famous dragon alchemist planning? He brought the opponent closer and dealt with it. The six-winged seraph Hephaestus Where’s Elvir?”

Gray Wolf frowned, keenly aware of something wrong: "He doesn't have this need. Their first goal should be to leave this place. As soon as the sailboat takes off, Hephaestus's people will take advantage of what they have." No matter what, why should they bother?"

"I suddenly thought of a question," Gray Wolf thought of something and suddenly said: "During the previous confrontation with us, the Dragon Alchemist seemed to have disappeared in the second half of the battle. I remember from when, he should have been on the other side's side. When the Dragon Knight took action, the Seraph never appeared again."

He looked at the other two people: "Is there any problem here?"

"What's the problem, everyone," Ronos, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up in a rare move, "Even without the Dragon Alchemist, how can you deal with a dragon knight? How about comparing it with a dragon knight? Get up, what does a mere dragon alchemist mean?"

Gray Wolf said with a smile: "That's what I said, but there is indeed something strange in it. Let's first see how the people of the Seven Seas Brigade plan to deal with the offensive of Hephaestus. We might as well make preparations first, just in case. What opportunity are we really allowed to seize?”

"It's up to you," Ronos shrugged, "I'm not interested. Anyway, the obelisk has already discussed it. I'll show up again when the barrier disappears."

After saying that, he ignored the expressions of the two people and took the people away.

Gray Wolf and Marshall looked at each other, and the former couldn't help but cursed secretly: "This guy!"

"Forget it," Marshall shook his head, "The people in Gray Field are not the same as you or us. They are still living in the era of FOX. They will not bow their heads until the Gray King leaves the throne. .”

"Then what do you think?" Gray Wolf asked.

"Let's see and then talk about it," Marshall replied simply. In fact, they were not the only ones, even the people of Hephaestus were confused. They had already imagined that their vanguard would be attacked head-on, and even prepared the first wave of people who would jump gangs to land. Ready to give up.

They contacted a large number of selectors from other guilds and formed a team of 30 combat craftsmen. They used more than five waves of attacks to attract the attention of the Dragon Alchemist and then break through the opponent in one fell swoop. line of defense.

But the imagined attack did not appear. The Dragon Alchemist seemed to have disappeared. None of the sharp alien air combat structures that belonged to the opponent appeared before, let alone the nightmare-like six-winged machine. Seraph - Helwell.

"what happened?"

The commander of Hephaestus was confused for a moment. As a tactic planner, his intuition made him couldn't help but be alert. After all, people who play tactics tend to think things overly complicated, and he was scared to death for the first time. All tight.

Isn't this a trap?
But the combat craftsmen didn't think much of it. Since there was no one to stop them, they drove straight in until a woman in a white robe suddenly appeared in front of the Seven Seas Traveler, suspended in mid-air.

"One who is adaptable to the wind element!"

Everyone was startled.

In Aitaria, every person with wind element aptitude is extremely rare, especially among the chosen ones, they are almost synonymous with high-level combat effectiveness, because the wind element aptitude is too suitable for air and sea combat, so even if it is a holder I actually don't have any talent, and the forces behind it will invest a lot of resources in cultivating it.

But Miya who appeared in the field of vision of the battle craftsmen gave them a different feeling. After all, floating in the air and sea with the adaptability of the wind element was a completely different concept from standing in the sky, not to mention the girl in white. With a move of her hand, a silver net appeared behind her.

"Knight Domain!"

The commander of Hephaestus saw this scene through the communication crystal and his scalp exploded. Although Knight Domain was just three words, it was self-evident what it symbolized. The opponent had a dragon knight, and he immediately understood why the people from Enigma, AOA, and the Falcon Group retreated.

Only one thought popped into the other person's mind at that moment: "Damn, I got tricked by these idiots!"

If the Seven Seas Brigade really has a dragon knight, then their behavior at this moment is undoubtedly hitting an egg against a stone. If the other party is happy, it is natural to kill them. Even if the other party is not in that mood, the elites of these guilds they invested in should be all gone.

The commander subconsciously wanted to order the previous waves to withdraw. As for the vanguard, he could no longer control that much. In his opinion, the people and structures that entered the battle in the first wave were basically no different from dead objects. Fortunately, Most of the people in the first wave of main attacks still have a lot of resurrection times.

I hope the other party is not in the mood to pursue him, otherwise Hephaestus may suffer heavy losses this time.

But before Commander Hephaestus had time to issue that order, a sudden thought made him stop. Not only him, but Marshall and Gray Wolf who were far away in the valley at the same time also jumped from the rock where they were sitting. stood up.

"This is how the same thing?"

Gray Wolf immediately looked back at the AOA leader beside him.

Marshall's eyes were solemn. In his opinion, the abilities displayed by Miya were in the realm of knights, but this realm was a bit too 'small' - not to mention the flickering silver net that blocked all the enemies in front of Miya. , in fact, it cannot even protect the entire Seven Seas Traveler.

It felt like the dragon knight's ability was displayed by the girl in white, as if it was not yet complete.

The commander of Hephaestus was still confused, but the experienced Gray Wolf and Marshall almost immediately thought of the possibility - the opponent was not a dragon knight, or the core of the dragon knight had not yet awakened and was in a dormant state. .

"A dragon knight whose dragon soul has not yet awakened," Marshall came to the conclusion almost immediately. "The other party is still a dragon knight in the growth stage. No wonder we haven't heard of her. We were deceived by her."

"Dragon knights in the growth stage are also dragon knights," Gray Wolf said in a low voice, "It's okay, let Hephaestus' people help us with the thunder first."

"Aren't you going to let them go?" Marshall turned around and asked.

"It would be fine if they didn't blackmail us. After all, a high-level professional who has not yet awakened his dragon soul can still be lethal," Gray Wolf took a breath and said, "But right now, I can't swallow this breath."

Marshall nodded after hearing this. Indeed, he actually thought so too.

The Empire's bounty on the Seven Seas Brigade was extremely generous, otherwise they wouldn't have cared about it in the first place.

The commander of Hephaestus reacted a little slower. However, although he did not expect why the other party would be in such a situation, he still immediately seized the opportunity. A bold idea appeared in his mind, "She is not strong. , there is no need to fight her head-on, let the people in the back unit directly bypass the woman and attack the sailboat!"

He made up his mind immediately, so there was no need to withdraw attacks in subsequent waves.

At that moment, Commander Hephaestus felt a little lucky, but fortunately he hesitated.

At the same time, Miya was frowning deeply. She did not expect that her dragon knight ability had weakened to this extent. In fact, even when she was still in the growth stage, the 'Siren' was not so weak.

But being reborn twice in a row, traveling through the door of the world twice, and returning from the second world to the first world seemed to have caused great damage to her Dragon Knight core. It seemed a bit difficult for her to use all her power now. It’s beyond my capabilities.

However, the wolf girl remained calm and commanded the silver net to sweep forward. The flickering light filtered through the structures. The machines controlled by humans immediately turned into parts all over the sky and fell from the air. Come down.

No matter how weak her power is, Yu's power is still far beyond the level of these people in front of her. She just lost the ability to control the overall situation, but it does not mean how much time it will take for her to deal with these little bugs.

But now it is impossible to protect the Seven Seas Traveler. Miya looked up and saw the stars in the night sky converging into light streams, bypassing her upper and lower sides, towards the Seven Seas Traveler behind her. And left.

"I can only hope that I have bought enough time for the Seven Seas Traveler." Miya knew that she had no time to return to defense. "I hope that Miss Dragon Soul can seize this opportunity in time and let the Seven Seas Traveler fly to a sufficient height."

Once the Seven Seas Traveler enters full speed, these small air combat structures cannot catch up with it in any case, unless the opponent also sends a fleet, but the Empire will set its sights south, and almost all of the nearest Chosen fleets in the first division are there. The rainforest line.

On the deck, Alyssa and Dariel were both ready for battle. This was the number of times they had fought in the past two days, and they were used to this rhythm. Tian Lan hid behind Siesta, holding her seven-stringed lute - a spare one - as if only the maid could give her a sense of security.

Even Adni, Sylvide and Boatswain Baggins came to the deck. Everyone knew that this final battle was crucial to the Seven Seas Traveler and directly determined whether they could successfully escape from this place.

The twinkling stars in front were getting closer and closer. They were actually just the glimmer of light emitted by a large number of flexible visual crystals. When the other party approached a certain distance - the ship officer lady leaned on the side of the ship and raised herself With the magic gun in his hand, he put one of the constructs into the scope and was about to fire.

A dim red light reflected in her eyes.

Sylvester was slightly startled.

In fact, it’s not just her——

Everyone on the battlefield, including the combat craftsmen of the empire who were controlling countless flexible structures into the battle, as well as Gray Wolf, Marshall and his team who were watching the battlefield from a distance and giving orders.

Even Miya, who was looking back, saw that shocking scene.

A red light bloomed with the Seven Seas Traveler as the center.

Jita's face, who was guarding the core cabin of the Seven Seas Traveler, changed drastically. Miss Scholar subconsciously looked back.

The next moment, she turned around and rushed out of the cabin with her robe, and ran towards the captain's cabin along the bright halo in front of her. She pushed open the door of the rest room, ignoring that her glasses almost slipped off the bridge of her nose. , holding the frame of the glasses with one hand, staring dumbfoundedly at the countless red lights converging on the central point.

And the source of all light veins is pointing to the bed where Fang Plover is.

Her leader was floating in mid-air, and dazzling red light was continuously radiating from his body—to be precise, from the position of his heart.

Those red lights passed through the bulkhead, passed through the Seven Seas Traveler, spanned a distance of thousands of feet, and formed an extremely strong hexagonal light curtain within a mile radius of the Seven Seas Traveler, like an indestructible Same as the shield.

Guarding the perimeter of the Seven Seas Traveler.

I saw pieces of structures and small airships crashing into the suddenly generated red wall of light, turning into pieces of brilliant fire.

In contrast, the red light curtain did not move at all, and even the impact did not produce a single ripple on it.

Everyone froze, and the commander of Hephaestus seemed to be petrified - he didn't even need to look at the communication crystal projection, because as long as he looked up, he could see the huge The hexagon stretches across the sky.

no doubt--

"Dragon Knight..." Gray Wolf was stunned when he saw this scene, "Dragon Knight Domain...?"

There is a second dragon knight on that boat! ?

Marshall on the side was also dumbfounded. He wanted to ask how the people in the alliance did intelligence work, and where did this 'little-known' adventure group come from?
A reserve dragon knight and a real dragon knight, so what kind of cat and mouse trick is the other party playing with them?
If you had said that you had this ability, they would guarantee that they would not even come into this valley.

……

Hey hey hey, a little late
