Home of the Brave

Afraid put her arms around her sister's cold body, shrugged her shoulders, and let out a silent cry.

The atmosphere infected everyone, tears appeared in the corner of Xia Luwei's eyes, and the female bodyguards were crying in low voices. Dai Yang felt very uncomfortable. He looked at the Miko who was secretly wiping her tears next to her, and quietly pulled her back to a farther place, and then asked in a low voice.

"Miranda, is there no way I can help them? Wingmen are the dependents of Storm after all. Is there nothing Albers can do about it?"

"That's what I said..." Miranda's eyes flashed with water, and it was obviously not that Dai Yang's proposal had not been considered. "Albers had already demonstrated miracles when healed Afraus. There weren’t many things like that... Besides, Aretha had already turned his back on Albers’ beliefs and devoted himself to Flaus’s outlaws. If you ask Albers for help, maybe it will cause disasters for them."

"Really? But I don't think Albers is like such a small-minded god, should you confuse with your big boss?" Dai Yang eagerly persuaded Miranda, but the imprudent name provokes The sight of the Miko condemned.

"Anyway, no matter how you say it, they can't be worse than they are now."

"That's right..."

Miranda frowned and murmured a few words, seeming to be moved by Dai Yang, shook her head and walked to the flat ground in the distance, stretched out her hand to press the crown on his forehead, and prayed to Albers. In fact, the forehead adorned with precious jade is actually a treasure of the God of Storm. Miranda can communicate with Albers at any time through it, and it is also a sign of her being a witch.

Not daring to interrupt Miranda's prayer, Dai Yang carefully guarded the position two or three steps away behind the maiden. I originally planned to shoot immediately if there was any chance, but soon noticed that the flow of the wind became strange. The wind across the grassland seemed to concentrate on the witch, and there was an indescribable warmth in the wind. Dai Yang didn't know if this was Albers' power, but from the expression of Miranda who stood up, it seemed that the result was not bad.

At the same time, being led by the warm wind, everyone's eyes turned towards this side one after another. Even Afrah stopped crying, held her sister in her arms, and looked at the maiden who was entangled by the wind with extremely expectant eyes.

"...As a result, Albers agreed?" Dai Yang asked her in an excited voice when Miranda passed by.

"Don't be too happy, you have to work hard later." Miranda gave him a sideways glance, and then walked to Sister Afra.

"Witch, Miko-sama, please...excuse me..." At this time, Afrah's expression seemed to be about to cry, excited and nervous, and even her voice became stammered. "Arisa...that, Albers's will is..."

"Be calm, Afraid." Miranda made a quiet gesture to Afra, first closed her eyes and adjusted her emotions, then opened her eyes and looked at her, and said: "Listen carefully, then , I will deliver the oracle of Albers."

"Yes, yes!" Afrah knelt to the ground on the spot, not daring to move a little.

"Afra, Wings of God, you, do you expect your sisters to be redeemed?"

"Yes, yes!" Afraid pressed her forehead to the ground, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Even in exchange for your life, are you willing?"

"Yes, I do." Afrah answered without hesitation.

"Then, lift up your sister, and wait here for the miracle to come."

Miranda ended the oracle with these words, and then exhaled as if tired, and walked towards Dai Yang.

"...As a result, can only save one person?" Dai Yang let out a disappointed sigh, but the witch gave an unexpected answer.

"It depends on you, Yang."

"Huh? Look at me?" Dai Yang asked, pointing to himself.

"Yes, the death of all things is the law of nature. Even with the power of Albers, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life. Fortunately, the fire of her life has not yet been extinguished. If she finds a way to attract fire, she may not be able to get a new life.... That's it. It is the oracle given to me by Albers."

"Uh, what should I do specifically?" Dai Yang asked in confusion.

"Use Gungnier." Miranda stretched out her hand to the sky spear lying in the distance. "Gangnier is a holy weapon forged by the ancient gods. The non-attribute divine power contained in it can be a sharp blade that destroys vitality or a fire that rekindles vitality. As long as there is a way to summon enough divine power to successfully complete the reincarnation Ceremony, both can be redeemed, but the problem is..."

Miranda looked at the man with a worried expression.

"Gangnir's supernatural power output will put a huge load on the body, Yang, can you really hold it?"

"What, it turned out to be like this..." Dai Yang, who had listened with a cautious expression, heaved a sigh of relief. "In short, just let Gangnier release his supernatural power to the maximum, right? That's okay!" Dai Yang patted his chest confidently. "It's not that I boast. I've long been accustomed to pressure. Just look at the deficit-filled business book at home."

"...That's two different things, okay?"

The severe discomfort caused Milan's shoulders to hang down. She tried to control her emotions and decided not to waste time on such stupid questions. "I'll prepare to the extent necessary for the ceremony. Go and bring Gangneil over. Go and go." Miranda waved to Dai Yang like a puppy.

"Hello, I just want to relax the atmosphere, don't be so strict..." Dai Yang muttered dissatisfiedly, and then walked towards Gangneil over there.

Ever since Wuming was beheaded from Aretha's hands, the Sky Spear Gang'nir dissipated Shenwei and Shenhuang, lying on the ground like an ordinary spear. However, Dai Yang didn't put the legendary holy weapon in his eyes, lifted his leg and kicked the sky spear into the air, and copied it down.

"This is Gangneil..." Dai Yang looked at the sky spear in his hand, his expression seemed rather disappointed. With a wave of his hand, the originally silent Gangnir burst into a radiant divine brilliance, and saw the vast divine power entwining the black-haired young man, whose power is not the same as when Aresa held it.

Seeing the sight of the black-haired young man taking the sky spear so easily, the female guards over there let out a grand exclamation, and their eyes were full of awe when they watched Dai Yang. And not only them, but Afrah over there also showed a look of astonishment, and the female knight ran over worriedly.

"Yang, are you okay?" Xia Luwei held Wuming nervously, posing as if she was ready to cut the sky spear into the air at any time.

"...Well, it doesn't matter." Dai Yang held Gangneil with both hands, slightly sweating appeared on his forehead, but it didn't seem to be strenuous. "This guy is very vigorous, and constantly wants to crush the divine power... It feels like riding a fierce horse, but it's still manageable."

"Over there, don't offer treasures, come here." Miranda's voice sounded not far away.

When Dai Yang subdued Gangneil, the maiden had also completed the preparations for the ceremony. She found a flat area and used her divine power to draw a circular circle on the ground. In the center of the magic circle are sisters Afra and Aresa. In addition, there is a small circle above and below the circle. Miranda asked Dai Yang to stand in one of the small circles, while she occupied the other small circle, and arranged for Xia Luwei and the female guards to stand outside the circle.

After everything was ready, Miranda carefully ordered Dai Yang.

"This is the magical'Secret of Reincarnation'. It shouldn't be used in such occasions, but since it is Albers' oracle, it can only be executed... Wait for me to lead the ritual, your responsibility It is to output Gungnir’s divine power as much as possible. Because the'Turning Mystery Apparatus’ needs the support of huge divine power, so the more divine power output, the better...Ah, that said, but don’t force it.” The witch suddenly thought, and Warned the man.

"If I find something wrong, I will stop the ceremony immediately, so I don't have any weird thoughts."

"Yes, I see." Dai Yang answered honestly. "I will try my best to control it."

"Okay, then prepare..." Miranda took a deep breath. "let's start!"

※※※

With Aretha's defeat, the balance of victory completely fell to the adventurers.

The adventurers bewitched by the black-haired youth started the final hunt for the remaining imperial soldiers.

Large-scale resistance has long ceased to exist, and Imperial soldiers can only gather in small groups in small groups, struggling hard in the hunting of adventurers.

Since the use of blunt weapons would damage the value of the armor, adventurers used more rope nets and sap against imperial soldiers. Imperial soldiers are often surrounded by several times as many adventurers first, then knocked out from behind, and finally stripped and thrown away. In such a season, being abandoned to the Bell Grassland, whether you can return to the empire alive depends on your luck, but in any case, it is a blessing to be able to save your life.

On the other hand, for adventurers, this crazy hunt also brought them quite good rewards. The Imperial Army’s standard weapons have always been sought-after on the black market. Together with other fragmentary trophies, it can be said that they have almost made up for the deficit in the city of Samu.

More importantly than these, the adventurers who have always been despised by the regular army have the opportunity to avenge their enemies. This pleasure can't be bought with money. Almost all the adventurers were enthusiastically involved in this unprecedented siege. The imperial soldiers fled around like mourning dogs, and the scene almost made the gods laugh.

Gradually, someone noticed something wrong...

Gradually, the enthusiastic shouts of the adventurers disappeared...

Gradually, the imperial soldiers stopped fleeing in panic...

The hustle and bustle of the battlefield suddenly quieted down, so quiet that even a needle could be heard on the ground.

Only the invisible wind is flowing slowly in the air, and everyone's eyes unconsciously face the direction where the wind gathers.

Then, what appeared before their eyes was a cyan beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth. The beam of light descended from nine days, penetrated through the layers of dark clouds above the head, and projected on the grassland in the distance. The glorious divine light cut through the gloomy sky, and the vast divine might diffused from the beam of light. All those who saw the scene felt an unspeakable and violent move in their hearts. Many people even lay on the ground and cried bitterly. .

Whether it is an adventurer or an imperial soldier, everyone on the battlefield is like a statue, just staring blankly at the square corner where the miracle has come with tears.
