In order to cover us, or to say that several other teams with the same mission as us, the human kingdom launched a feint attack on the Demon King Army.

Ironically, if you can find the world of Olavia and travel to the planet where I once lived, you may be able to learn all this from the natives there—then the war was called the Battle of Dawn, almost all Everyone believes that it was the beginning of the human counterattack against the Demon King Army.

Until I left that world, people expressed the highest respect for the soldiers and generals who died in that war, and even the respect for them was much higher than the respect for the royal family.

This is not too much. People who have not lived in that dark age will never understand what a desperate environment it is.

Humans have lost more than 90% of their territory, and the other demihumans are even more miserable. There are many alien races who have lost their homes like Gewei. Only the fairies and the tribes live in rifts in space because of their geographical advantages. Only survived.

At first, I thought that uniting the fairies against the Demon King's army was the last resistance of the human high-levels.

In fact, not only me, but even the regiment leader, they also think so, and he also said that if the Fairy King agreed to the alliance so that the final battle against the Demon King Army really started, then they would definitely join the battle.

This is the bottom line of being a human being.

The day before the start of the operation, I saw an unexpected guest.

The princess of the human kingdom is also the one who summoned me to this world.

Unlike her dad, who was just taking care of herself, the princess is a very kind girl. I can't remember her name clearly. She seems to be called Duomier or something. She has long curly honey-colored hair and a beautiful face. The eyes are amber, which matches well with the curly hair.

She has a good reputation among the people, and she always seems to feel guilty for summoning me as an "ordinary person" to this world that is about to face destruction.

For this reason, she is also the only person in the palace who often chats with me. She also raised objections when I was kicked out of the palace, but it was obviously of no use...

If you guessed with a little bit malicious thought, maybe it was because she was too close to me, and the king couldn't tolerate the relationship between his daughter and a trash, so I was expelled from the palace.

Closer to home, this time he and she brought me incredible news.

The text in the letterhead sealed by magic was not an alliance letter seeking an alliance from the fairies to jointly resist and repel the Demon King Army.

It was a letter willing to dedicate all the resources, treasures and other human beings possessed by mankind to the Fairy King, hoping that the Fairy King could take the royal family and nobles on the attached list to the fairy country where the fairies lived, avoiding the war.

When it came to this, even the princess who had never shown an angry face in front of me frowned slightly, obviously very dissatisfied.

——Under the instigation of those great aristocrats who were greedy for life and fear of death, her father, the last king of mankind, actually did something equivalent to losing power and humiliating the country.

This will not work.

The future of mankind should not be destroyed by a group of people who are greedy for life and fear of death.

Realizing this, Her Royal Highness secretly visited my little mercenary's house and told the inside story and details, because I was the only mercenary she knew and trusted.

After she unlocked the magic on the letterhead and changed the content to the Alliance's Fight against the Demon King Army, she solemnly handed the letterhead and her token to me again.

Passing through the jurisdiction of the Demon King's army is an act of death, but she firmly believes that I can do it, and then if there are other messengers who have done this, and if there is a token sitting in the town, then the letter paper in my hand is obviously more credible.

Of course she didn't plan to stay behind and enjoy the benefits.

The next day, when we arrived at the barracks, we discovered that the princess had actually launched a pre-war mobilization in front of the entire army.

I asked the people in the barracks, and only then did I know that the princess had actually come to the front and fought **** battles with everyone as a front-line commander.

Regardless of whether that speech is useful or not, this alone has an amazing effect on the morale of the army.

I can't remember exactly what she said, but one sentence still impressed me.

"Even if I tore my body, drank my blood, chewed up my bones, and wiped out my existence in this world, they still can't obliterate my courage as a human being. My soul will guide you. keep going!"

Courage is contagious. After the first hero stands up, there will be no shortage of heroes on the battlefield.

Yes, she violated the feint strategy set by the head-shrunking turtles, and really led the army to go to war with the Demon King's army. This made the feint that would have been stinking for thousands of years become the eulogized battle of dawn.

That is the beginning of everything, the last line of defense for human dignity, and the origin of human courage.

What's interesting is that it is not just Olavia. In my subsequent career, I have encountered similar situations in many worlds. When human beings are forced into desperation, they will burst out with unimaginable courage and strength.

Okay, I know there is something wrong with the topic, let's go back to me at that time.

As messengers, we naturally will not be swept into the battlefield by large forces.

The princess arranged a dragon cart for us, intending to bypass the main battlefield and sneak in from the side. Not only us, but other messengers seem to have their own arrangements. In short, I feel that the princes and ministers seem to have come up with all the methods, just to get a letter to reach the fairy king.

The war was very fierce...No, considering the gap between humans and those monsters, it would be better to describe it as tragic, like a meat grinder, with layers of flesh and internal organs laying on the ground.

Even if we did not go to the battlefield formally, but just bypassed from one side, the tragedy and shock are unforgettable.

At the beginning, it was a young man who helped us drive the dragon cart. I once met him by the princess's side. He should be the princess's escort.

The princess went to the battlefield in person, but not only did not strengthen her guard, but instead assigned her guard to us, we can see the hope she has placed in me.

As we passed through the enemy’s defenses, we saw a lot of Demon King’s army rushing to the front: there are monsters similar to red goblins but are actually much stronger, a terrifying **** as high as three or four stories. Demon, there are terrible beholders, and the warlord great flame demon like a tornado of flames soaring into the sky.

Obviously the situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable, but for some reason, I feel that the thin front can withstand the onslaught of these monsters.

The later facts also proved that I was right. The power of determination is indeed terrible.

Although we were careful enough, we were still discovered by the enemy during the smuggling of the defense line.

It is a monster called a butcher. Its body seems to be stitched together from a lot of corpses. But unlike ordinary stitching monsters, the butcher is more calm and cruel, and more resistant to magic. .

I didn’t even notice that we were being stared at by this monster, but the young guard noticed it. He pushed me sitting beside him into the car, but he was chained to the huge butcher. The hook caught.

The thick barbs of the child's wrist pierced the guard's lungs, and I saw blood blisters appearing in his nose and mouth.

"Be sure to... complete the princess..."

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged from the dragon cart by the butcher and fell into the dust raised by the dragon cart.

At that moment I really wanted to turn around and knock down the butcher.

But reason told me that without a pastor, the young man was no longer saved. And the butcher is very strong, I am definitely not an opponent by myself.

Don't show that expression. At that time, I was just an ordinary person. Even though I had some talent for swordsmanship, I only mastered a face-to-face sword skill called Jackdaw's counterattack.

Even with Gewei's help, more Demon King's army must have gathered by the time the butcher is defeated, and it will be difficult to leave by then.

In fact, even if you are driving a dragon cart, it is not so easy to escape.

Fortunately, my partner was very powerful at that time. Her shooting magic was accurate and ruthless. Although it could not cause too much damage to the enemies of the Demon King Army, damage to the ankles, eyes and other vital points still made them gradually lose their ability to chase.

After completely escaping the enemy’s pursuit, in order to prevent the sudden death of the dragon riding for three hours-although this cold-blooded creature can burst out considerable power, its lasting ability is very poor, and it is easy to get a rest in time. It will die suddenly-I deliberately let it rest for a while, and then move on at a slower speed.

In the area occupied by the Demon King’s Army, Gewei and I dared not sleep on nights. In the end, we simply took turns driving the dragon cart and rested in the carriage alternately.

In the end, I only slept for three hours, and Gewei was a little longer. Of course, I did it deliberately, because a stable mental state is more important for a magician than a warrior.

When the horizon lit up slightly, we also entered the grassland area.

I thought the crisis was temporarily lifted, but the facts are not that simple.

A huge ghost harrier began to appear in the sky. It was a **** creature that looked a bit like a manta ray on earth. Is its wingspan more than seven meters long? It is the most disgusting spy and eyeliner of the Demon King’s army. It can fly to Conducting reconnaissance at high altitudes can also prey on owl eagles trained by humans for reconnaissance.

In addition, I have seen two-headed hounds in the grass more than once.

There is no doubt that the enemy has realized that someone has sneaked into their control zone and is digging three feet to find us.

During this period, we also passed through the place that was once a human city-there are almost no human beings there anymore, and all human beings have been raised as livestock.

In addition, some mercenaries who performed the same tasks as us were also arrested and hung on the wall after being concocted brutally.

For them, dying in torture is a relatively happy thing, otherwise they have to watch themselves being eaten into a skeleton by the birds of hell, and finally they can breathe in the desperate pain... from hell. Those birds seem to have a certain ability to eat a person within a certain period of time, even if there is only one head left, it will not cause the other person to die.

We have also encountered deserters, the infiltration mission is not suitable for everyone, it causes great psychological pressure on people, it is easy to drive people crazy.

When people's sanity breaks the bank, they naturally want to escape back to the only remaining territory of mankind.

It's a pity that from the news I learned in the future, none of those who became deserters could escape the Demon King's line of defense. On the contrary, the mercenaries who rushed to the fairy kingdom had a higher survival rate.

Although it's not bad actually...

As we continue to move forward, the probability of encountering an enemy gradually increases. Probably they have learned about the relationship between the destination of our trip from the captured mercenaries.

Sometimes in order to be able to move forward quickly, you have to fight against enemies you encounter. In particular, although Gewei’s camouflage magic can deceive the ghosts’ eyes, it is difficult to hide from the double-headed hounds, which are known for their smell. It is said to be a lower subspecies of Cerberus, which is very troublesome to deal with.

The worst time, I even had to face off with three two-headed hounds alone; you must know that my swordsmanship jackdaw counterattack is a swordsmanship that can only be effective in one-on-one, one-on-three is simply unfavorable to the extreme.

Of course, at the end of the day, I desperately solved them at the cost of injury. In this **** battle, I grew faster than I expected.

If you want to say it, it was probably the most dangerous period of my life, even when I faced the devil later it was not that bad.

On the third day after sneaking into the area occupied by the Demon King Army, Gewei and I were in a terrible state.

Because of lack of sleep, my whole person is half-dream and half-awake; while Gewei is always in a trance because of over-casting, let alone singing magic, even unable to concentrate.

Even a novice like me knows that this situation is not good: regardless of the caster, even if it is a swordsman like me, when the spirit is abnormal, the battle is prone to flaws-a small trance is enough Ruin my fragile life.

If this continues, the next encounter will be the end of our lives.

So when we found a small lake, we decided to take a break.

I grilled fish on the shore, while the girl bathed in the lake.

During this time, because of the running-in of the battle, the relationship between me and her has become better, or better understood.

At the same time, the mutual understanding is deeper than in the mercenary group.

I used to think Gewei was a lively and cheerful girl, but in fact it was not. She occasionally looked at the sky in a daze, even if the expression on her face did not change much, but her long hair dancing in the wind set off The side face still makes a girl feel very sad. Even if I haven't asked her the reason, I can probably guess that she is saddened by her hometown that has fallen into the hands of the Demon King's army.

In addition, she is also very gentle. Although there is some subtlety in cooking and eating, it is the kind of type that is obviously very good, but it is not very delicious, but she is very good at sewing. The lining of my leather armor is that she will sew it for me. It's rather surprising to me that I still carry needles and threads when performing this kind of task.

Of course, she is not pretending to be lively and cheerful. When she saw the sunrise on the grassland for the first time, she was so excited that she was like a five or six-year-old girl, and she even woke me up to watch the sunrise together; When I met groundhogs, they would deliberately dig out people to look at them. The nickname was to see if they could be used as food reserves... Of course she didn’t let me roast them and taste them in the end, but let them go. .

What we talked most on the road was Gewei’s hometown, the once glorious country of the white elf, and the story of Gewei’s childhood.

She would always use singing tones to tell the beauty of the country built in the forest by the white elves. The name of the white elves that was created by the ancestors of the white elves was full of artistic sense, and then she would share it with me stupidly. The embarrassment of her childhood is not taboo at all.

Whenever that kind of time, I would quietly listen to her from the sidelines. To be honest, I quite like that feeling.

I once thought that I fell in love with each other, but I soon realized that it was not "love", it was just a pure liking. If I had to say it, it was at best the intimacy of my friends due to the suspension bridge effect.

"Xu, help me tie my hair, right?"

The wet girl is wearing her spare clothes, which are made of some silk-like snow-white cloth produced in the former White Elf Kingdom, and there is no underwear such as a bra in another world. Now it is quite soaked in water Something reveals the meaning.

But the girl didn't mind showing her back and the same wet head to me.

"Why not use magic to blow dry?"

I say.

"Because you want to save magic power and relax your spirits at the same time, so that you can prepare for the next battle!"

The girl said naturally.

Her hair is very good, and unlike humans, the elves’ hair seems to be a little more slender. Even after it’s tied up, it doesn’t feel like a big hold. Instead, it has a slender and lively feeling. This is when she moves. It's especially obvious when I get up.

Of course I know what she meant.

In fact, the white elves seem to be unable to let anyone other than their parents and spouse touch their ears. But when I was braided just now, I encountered it several times, and Gewei did not respond to it.

"Xu."

"What's wrong?"

"From now on, can you keep helping me tie my braids?"

Sometimes I hate myself for being so clear, so when facing a girl's love, I can only perfuse it.

By the way, you learned the technique of braiding Jasmine at that time.

Huh? Why are you angry?

Well, let's skip this paragraph and continue on.

After that, while we were approaching the fairy kingdom, we also encountered several waves of enemies that needed to fight, but the battles were relatively easy.

It wasn't until we were about to leave the area occupied by the Demon King Army that we met a difficult guy in a real sense.

That's right, it was the butcher who met near the front line.

We fought and retreated and fled to the land of the fairies, but the enemy still chased them.

During this period, Gewei and I were almost killed by it several times. The feeling of shooting hooks from the dark at any time was really disgusting. It should have been the most difficult time.

At the same time, because of the pressure of the butcher, our attention and thinking abilities around us have dropped a lot, and we didn't even realize what it meant that this guy could chase into the territory of the fairy jurisdiction in theory.

Here we have to mention Olavia’s fairyland a little bit.

Before the invasion of the Demon King Army, the kingdom of the fairies was called Immortal Country or Dreamland. In fact, only one-tenth of it was on the planet Olavia, and the rest was in a space attached to the planet Olavia. In the rift.

Therefore, the kingdom of fairies can be regarded as the most mysterious place, and there are even legends such as the fountain of youth.

In addition, some fairies are very fond of collecting treasures, so the saying that there are gold and silver treasures in the kingdom of fairies is also very marketable.

Probably just by seeing this point, the human nobles will feel that they can only give away their treasures in exchange for the protection of the Fairy King.

The hub that connects the fairy kingdom and the planet Olavia is the tree hole of a giant tree called the Sirius Tree.

When that incredible tree appeared in my vision, I was really happy at that time.

But soon I realized that as long as there is a butcher watching around, there is no way for us to enter the kingdom of fairies.

"Gewei, listen to me..."

"I want to stay behind."

Before I could finish speaking, Gewei interrupted me and snatched my lines by the way.

"How can the work of the queen be entrusted to the caster, don't be willful at this time!"

As long as it can hold the butcher and create a little free time, Gewei can enter the fairyland.

And as a white elves, there is a certain friendship with the elves themselves, so letting Gewei to negotiate is the best choice.

"Xu, how long can you hold the butcher?"

"five minutes."

I estimated the combat power comparison and said a conservative figure.

This is something I can only bet on with my life.

"I can hold it for five hours."

I will probably never forget the look in Gewei's eyes at that time. It was a look full of determination.

She said: "Rather than having the consciousness of death, is it better for two people to go back and compare prices together?"

"But the enemy is the butcher..."

I don't believe in Gewei's five-hour statement.

"Don't underestimate the secret technique of the white elves! I just didn't intend to waste the magical materials of the secret technique... If this is the case now, it should be okay to waste a little bit, right?"

She smiled slyly: "Believe me, I won't die so easily until I get your answer."

Now that it's all about it, I can't continue to question anything.

So after we were ready, Gewei used a portable magical position against the butcher, and I took the opportunity to use the quest items given by the king to open the door to the fairyland.

Then, I saw it, as if it had just been ravaged by the chaotic fairyland.

——Before we asked for help, our only reinforcement had been defeated by the enemy.
