Two days later, the Legion of Glory led by Alvin finally got out of the deep mountain with difficulty and came to the border of Karthus.

Of course, the former frontier.

Now this place has long been reduced to a war zone where the Empire and Karthus compete with each other, and they are not sure which side this area belongs to right now, so they have to temporarily rest in this mountain depression with tall and dense vegetation.

On the way here, after the battle with the Azure Dragon Knights of the Empire, they encountered a lot of troubles along the way, such as endless barbarians, evil monsters, and various beasts in the dense forest.

So, after the forced march and repeated battles, at this moment, there were less than 600 people left in the Glorious Legion, which they originally claimed to have more than a thousand people.

So far, it can be said that they have lost more than half of them, and they are still exhausted. More importantly, the purpose of their trip, the holy sword and so on, has not been seen after all.

"..."

Standing under the shade of the dense trees, feeling the coolness in the shade, Shirley, who was also chilled in her heart, looked around and looked at the team brought out by herself. For a moment, she couldn't help feeling sad, not knowing what to say Just something.

When she came out, she also swore to her father that she would be able to complete that task beautifully and get the crucial holy sword to go back to fight against the emperor Barnhardt of the empire and that terrible evil sword.

But it turns out...

This time, they got nothing but lost soldiers and generals!

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more sad she became, she couldn't help but subconsciously stare fiercely at the back of the legendary great magician Jessica.

Then, her originally sunny and carefree eyes gradually became obscured.

Shirley knew that person, and the other party claimed to be the legendary magician, but what happened?

To grab the dark wand, but the wand couldn't be taken out, and then to grab the holy sword, but the holy sword was snatched away by the enemy first. From the beginning to the end, the opponent basically didn't play any role, even fighting At that time, the opponent's strength was far inferior to Hein's. She didn't even know if the legendary great magician who couldn't even break her own seal was really the real deal!

or…

Is the other party really helping their Karthus kingdom with all their heart?

Thinking of the fact that the other party is obviously the teacher of Egbert, the head of the Empire's Black Dragon Magister Group, but every time the Empire has let them complete each conspiracy one step ahead, she couldn't help thinking about it, and gradually, she looked at the other party His eyes became a little different.

"Hello!"

"Shirley?"

"??"

"Shirley, what are you thinking?"

At this moment, Alvin patted Shirley on the shoulder lightly from behind, finally bringing her back to her senses.

"ah!"

"It's Alvin..."

Shirley almost unconsciously kicked towards the back.

However, when she saw that it was Erwin, she managed to relax gradually, and stopped tightening the string in her heart.

"Give!"

"are you tired?"

"Drink some water first!"

Alvin shook his head, then stretched out the water bag in his hand and handed it to the other party.

"Thanks…"

"!"

"Ahem!"

Shirley was not polite, took it directly, raised her head and took several big gulps, and didn't stop until she was a little choked.

"ha!"

"I just called you several times, but you didn't respond, what were you thinking?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

Alvin first looked around at the soldiers who were sitting in the col and recuperating, looked at the members of the 'Glorious Legion' who were in a state of embarrassment, lying or sitting on the ground, and remembered that when they just set off from Karthus, With all the rhetoric and guarantees they said, a trace of sadness could not help but flash across his face.

To be honest, facing this skinny reality, at this moment, Alvin wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"It's nothing..."

"I was just thinking..."

"After returning to Karthus, how should I explain it to my father?"

After a pause, Shirley sighed again.

"There were more than a thousand people when they came out, right?"

"They are all elite veterans of Karthus, and now..."

"There are only a few hundred left..."

"I even lost the holy sword, and I will definitely be scolded when I go back!"

After handing back the water bag, Shirley simply sat down on the grass beside her and stared blankly at her feet. She didn't tell Alvin that she was actually doubting the identity of the great magician Jessica just now. things.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she had a certain fondness for Alvin beside her, and Erwin had been rushing to the front line against the empire, and even beheaded quite a few soldiers of the imperial army, contributing to Karthus. If it's too big, I'm afraid she even suspected Irwin just now.

"Besides, it doesn't count that the empire has obtained the magic sword, and now it has also obtained the holy sword Langulisa. Tell me, what should we Karthus do next?"

"Woo..."

"I'm really an idiot!"

"Useless fool!"

"Fool!"

As she spoke, Shirley began to sob and whimper in a low voice.

She thought that she was clearly the princess of the Kingdom of Karthus, but as a member of the royal family, she had not fulfilled her obligations and responsibilities. Her teacher, Keith, had a headache, but now it’s healed. When the national crisis came, she was shocked to realize that her own existence was so small and her abilities were so weak. If she could be stronger, how could she be able to do so? Reduced to what it is now?

"..."

He opened his mouth, Alvin had thousands of words in his mouth, but in the face of the cruel facts, he didn't know what to say.

"Do not worry!"

"It's not all your fault, I'm also responsible..."

"I'll go and explain to the lord."

"Besides, their sacrifices are all worthwhile. I believe that even without the holy sword, we will have other ways to resist the empire!"

"Everything will get better slowly."

"I promise!"

In the end, Alvin could only say such empty words that even he himself was unwilling to believe.

But think about it, now the only holy sword that can fight against the magic sword and the empire is gone. When Karthus faced the emperor Barnhardt holding the magic sword and Leon, the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights holding the holy sword, they What should I use to resist?

To be honest, in Alvin's opinion, even if the head of the Blue Dragon Knights didn't have a holy sword, he could almost beat them all by himself, and he didn't even have a second sword?

And after the other party has the holy sword, how terrifying it will be is something he dare not imagine.

"..."

Shirley didn't respond to Alvin, but buried her head deeply between her arms and legs, she didn't want to raise her head to look at the tired soldiers around her and the same look on their faces. Sadness and despair.

She knows, Karthus, I'm afraid it's really going to be over this time...

Even if the useless legendary great magician Jessica really contacted the surrounding countries, it would be useless for them to unite and fight against the empire with Karthus, because the time is simply too late. Judging from the current speed of the empire's attack, I'm afraid that the city of Karthus has already fallen without waiting for the other party to win over and unite the surrounding countries!

In fact, last time, the city of Karthus almost fell.

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial army was advancing too fast at that time, causing the logistics to be unable to keep up, and being beaten by Alvin and the others from behind, she would have become a pitiful wretch of a subjugated country now. princess.

"Shirley..."

Seeing the helpless look of the other party, although Alvin wanted to stretch out his hand to hug the other party into his arms and comfort him, but when he saw Leah in front of him who was concentrating and working hard to use divine magic to heal the wounded Na, looking at the back of the slender but strong nun, in the end, he had to take back his outstretched hand embarrassingly.

"well…"

Then, all kinds of words, just turned into a short sigh.

"Well?"

Is there a situation? !

Just as Alvin was about to look around and greet the wounded soldiers, suddenly, when he looked up, he found: in front, two of the few Karthus soldiers who were originally assigned to watch on the hillside, now But Shi ran quickly towards them in a panic?

"!"

"The enemy is catching up?!"

At this time, Shirley suddenly jumped up, and then, she didn't care about wiping the tears at the corners of her eyes, she just stared round her eyes, ran to the front first and asked, gritted her teeth.

"No, not the enemy!"

"In short!"

"Princess!"

"Your Excellency Erwin, and General Keith!"

"Hurry up and go up with us to have a look!"

As he spoke, he looked at the generals and mages who surrounded him. The two soldiers turned around and ran towards the top of the hill in front of them, panting.

"!"

Xue Li didn't say anything, just stomped her feet, picked up her weapon and chased after her.

"Hello!"

"Shirley, wait for us!"

No way, upon seeing this, Alvin, Hein, Jessica, Liana and the others could no longer care to appease the soldiers who stood up on guard and looked uncertain, and followed Shirley directly. up.

soon!

After turning over the hillside and running to the top of the mountain, without the barrier of the mountain, and looking in the direction indicated by the soldiers on guard from the sparse canopy, Alvin and the others discovered in horror:

It turned out that at some point in the sky, between the white clouds, there was a huge floating island? !

"ah!"

"Goddess of Light!"

"That…"

"What the **** is that?!"

Liana was the first to exclaim, but soon, she covered her mouth with her hand, and just continued to watch with rounded eyes.

"!"

Shirley didn't speak, but her eyes were full of shock and disbelief just like everyone else's.

"I know!"

"Is that the floating city?"

"I heard that the mages in the magical kingdom to the north are researching a device called the floating city, which seems to be called..."

"correct!"

"It seems to be called 'Tisreo'?"

"Did they finally finish it?!"

At this time, without waiting for other people to comment, Hai En, who had studied everywhere, was very eager for knowledge of magic, and had paid attention to the situation of the magical country in the north, and knew a lot of secret things, suddenly exclaimed loudly stand up.

"No!"

"That's not Tisreo!"

However, before he could continue talking and explain the confusion to everyone, the legendary great magician Jessica suddenly interrupted him.

"Tisreo's progress is not that fast, nor is it that big!"

"I have been to the construction site of Tisreo, and I have also participated in the construction and planning of that floating city, but from this point of view, its size is at least ten times that of Tisreo!"

"Plus the shape is also wrong, so it definitely can't be Tisreo!"

After affirming that she had participated in the construction of Tisreo, Jessica then firmly expressed her opinion.

"Not Tisreo?"

"Then which faction's floating city is it?"

"It's not from the Empire, is it?"

Hearing this, Erwin also hurriedly asked with an ugly face and exclaimed.

"I have no idea…"

However, Jessica shook her head slightly.

"I haven't heard that the Empire or Egbelt have any plans or actions to build a floating city. It's a big project, and it can be seen from the construction of Tisreo."

"but…"

"I can't guarantee whether it belongs to the empire or not."

"You also know that a considerable part of the forces of the demons are active in the army of the empire, plus that magic sword..."

"Everything shows that the empire and the demons have a cooperative relationship. If the demons are secretly helping the empire, with Egbert's knowledge, it should not be impossible to secretly create a floating city for a few years. ?”

The more she analyzed, the more ugly and depressed Jessica's face became.

Because she thought about it, these few years are the most critical period for her to prepare and use the reincarnation technique, and it is also the time when her ability to monitor this continent is the worst, and if Egbert and the empire secretly let the magic If the clan cooperates to build a floating city, it doesn't seem to be completely impossible?

"That is to say..."

"Could it be from the Empire?!"

Hai En screamed, his face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't have much hope that they could win the empire.

"But!"

"It shouldn't be 100% sure, right?"

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually becoming desolate, at this moment, Liyana, who managed to climb to the top of the mountain with the help of Alvin, let go of her hand in a hurry and comforted her with a forced smile.

"I have no idea…"

Jessica shook her head painfully.

"snort!"

"What's the use of you talking about this here?"

At this time, Shirley, who had been hit many times, had gone to extremes and felt self-pity, and had already planted the seeds of distrust of the great magician Jessica, finally broke out.

"It's not hard to know who it is!"

"Go up and have a look and you'll know?!"

So, after loudly refuting those guys who would only talk on the sidelines, she turned around and rushed down the mountain quickly.

"!"

"not good!"

"She wants to force her way up?"

Of course Jessica heard Shirley's intentions and the dissatisfaction in her words.

However, in her opinion, regardless of whether the huge floating island belonged to the Imperial Army or not, as long as the opponent can operate such a huge floating island, the people on it must not be small characters.

Anyway, even in Jessica's heyday, if she wants to operate such a huge floating island, she needs at least the support of a large group of powerful mages!

"quick!"

"Alvin, go and stop her!"

So, knowing that Shirley would face terrible consequences if she rushed in rashly, she hurriedly urged Erwin.

"yes!"

First there was a shock~lightnovelpub.net~ Then, without any fuss, Alvin jumped out from Liana's side and chased down the mountain at a very fast speed.

Unfortunately…

Not long after, everyone on the top of the mountain saw in astonishment: Xue Li rode her big white eagle into the sky alone, and flew towards the floating city at an extremely fast speed without caring.

And behind her was Keith who was also riding the other and only remaining white eagle in the team.

Obviously, Alvin couldn't stop Shirley.

As for whether he did not catch up, or was unable to stop him, it is temporarily unknown...

Therefore, the people on the top of the mountain could only watch the two Eagle Knights flying farther and farther away in the sky until they completely disappeared from their sight.
