"Don't be in a hurry, now is not the time to act," Roland said. He could only sigh when he saw Lightning flying excitedly.
Only God knew why he was so interested in fighting against that demonic beast. It is clear that he is not a fighter. But, compared to ordinary people, this little girl did not even show the slightest fear.
“Just follow the same pattern we used when dealing with the latter, do not try to be brave, you are just a lure so that he will focus his attention on you. Always maintain a high level of alertness! Even if it cannot fly, when it jumps, it is still a very serious threat! "
" I already know about that," Lightning spoke in a confident voice, "This isn't my first fight with something like this. Rest assured, I already know my limits. This time, he couldn't even touch my clothes. "
During their talk, the mixed species was getting closer to the wall. It had already passed through the barrier, and jumped towards the unguarded area, trying to climb up the wall. This time, however, it was ignored by the militia. They continue to defend their own sector, always waiting for Captain Hunter's next stab order.
“Then, we started a special operation mission against this mixed species!” shouted Roland.
Hearing this, Lightning who had already flown paused for a moment and looked back at Roland.
"What's wrong?"
"Your sentence is ..." Lightning thought about it once more, then shook her head, "It seems a bit strange. Forget it, I'm leaving."
Seeing the little figure of the little girl flying away quickly, Roland turned his head towards Anna and Nightingale and asked shyly, "Did you also think it was weird?”
"Well," they both nodded.
Alright ... It seems that even in this place these two sentences are strange, "You two can leave right now. Be careful!"
"Your Majesty, be careful," Nightingale bowed to Roland, then she grabbed Anna's hand and pulled her into the fog.
Roland put his arm behind his back, standing upright while facing the wind, trying to replicate how BOSS looked. He knew that many soldiers, when they had time to catch their breath, would secretly glance at him. Therefore, even though his legs were numb, he stood firmly at the highest point of the wall, clearly visible to everyone - indicating that the Prince was always by their side. Since he could not put himself in battle, this way he could still be an inspiration to them.
This time, the intensity of the demonic beast's attacks had exceeded all of his previous attacks. According to Iron Axe, during the Demon Moon last year, there would only appear one or two mixed species. But this year, there were already four attacks in Border Town. The duration of this attack was also very long, even now, groups of twelve or even larger would emerge from the forest, always constantly running towards the city walls.
Fortunately, flintlock production has increased in the past month, and now I can dispatch a team of a hundred people armed with flintlocks. Without them, I would never be able to guarantee such a high killing speed. If we had to use the bow arrows, I was worried that killing them would all be very difficult.
In the long run, the advantage of weapons, which require less physical exertion, will become more real.
Of course, the large consumption of gunpowder was enough to make Roland dizzy, he had ordered over twenty packs of explosives from the warehouse, which made a huge hole in his reserve, he had ordered, so he was already thinking about rationing gunpowder.
To provoke it further, Lighting flew always at a low altitude and right in front of his head, slowly luring him towards the center of the city. Although the mixed species definitely had the ability to think, but seeing this annoying little girl flying in front of him, he did not feel any threat. So he immediately pounced, opened his wings, and in a few jumps he quickly crossed over a hundred meters. Lightning saw him preparing to jump, immediately flew a little higher and turned around, always guarding some huts and the path between himself and the beast.
This way, after seven or eight turned around, he could finally lure her to the center of the city, which was the location of the ambush that Nightingale and him had agreed upon earlier. As a former lion, his sense of smell was naturally very sensitive, even he could find Nightingale even when he was in her foggy world. Due to this matter, they had to draw the attention of the demonic beast from them, before Nightingale and Anna could begin their surprise attack.
For this type of work, Lightning was a perfect fit. He was able to infuriate mixed species, so he jumped around like a madman, with his mouth wide open, always trying to catch these annoying flies. But Lightning, who did not have to bear any burden, was always some distance away from him, always flying up and down seductively, making each jump fruitless.
At the same time and from the other direction Nightingale also arrived at the town square - compared to Lightning, in her foggy world she could ignore all the houses and fences, too, always move in a straight line towards its goal. Since Anna's fire was only able to cover up to ten steps (5 meters), she had to approach the mixed species, so she closed it from behind, hoping not to be found.
As they had to face the mixed species for the first time, this part was extremely troublesome. However, now it was already their second fight against this kind of mixed species and Nightingale was already very familiar with Anna's attack. So when they were still thirty feet away from the beast, he increased his speed to its limit, covering the distance in an instant, as if it was only in one step. When Anna could see again, she discovered that the tail of the mixed species was already right in front of her face.
"Groan, now," cried Nightingale.
Around Anna, the black and white world swapped like waves. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the familiar city square. It directly released its green flame from its fingertips and expanded it into a huge fire cage, covering the entire demonic beast.
Facing this flame, Nightingale had to immediately retreat, even just feeling a heatwave, was enough to make her feel like she was on fire.
Closed by the fire cage, which was even capable of melting steel, the mixed species did not have time to struggle, it instantly turned into a fireball and fell violently onto the ground.
"It looks like they can already solve the problem," Wendy said as she discovered the green flames in the distance. In Nightingale's absence, it was her turn to protect Roland, "It seems like I won't get any part in the drama ..."
"If possible, I would be happy if I could stay like this," Roland replied, still maintaining his straight stance, pretending like he was driving on an easy road. Therefore, he still knew, that without the help of the witches defending the city, the jumping mixed species would make the militia once again go awry.
But today, even Nana has come to the wall, providing quick treatment to the wounded soldiers. His father was always by his side, protecting him. Today was the first time Roland had publicized the power of a magician in front of all the soldiers, and he was extremely happy. In line, love for their angel Nana rises to new highs, but when Anna and Nightingale kill a mixed species together, the crowd also begins to cheer loudly.
Of course, he clearly knew that not everyone did not mind them, such situations with militias were extremely rare. But when they are fully accepted by the militia, he will keep trying to get them accepted by the whole city.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire began to subside, and Roland noticed that the demonic beasts were starting to evacuate from the wall. Did they finally back off? He could not believe his eyes. But at this moment, a beam of light broke through the thick clouds, covering the ground, followed by a second, then a third ... Immediately, tens of thousands of rays of light broke through the holes in the clouds. Then all the beams of light merge into one, becoming dazzling and invisible. The earth suddenly became bright.
"The day when the sun rises again is the end of all evil."
There was a brief moment of silence on the wall, but then, a wave of cheers swept through the wall, heading towards the Border Town. Gradually, the townspeople came out of the house and also started cheering. Welcoming the long-missed sunshine, celebrating their survival in winter, or to thank the Prince. In the end, all the cheers merged into a flood, echoing throughout the Border Town!
