Chapter 696 Tilan wielding the holy sword

At noon the next day, when the light filled the room, Tilan slowly sat up from the bed.

She got up a little late today. She leaned against the head of the bed, feeling a little lazy and not wanting to move. She

pressed her forehead lightly with her fingers, and the slight coldness made her more conscious. Then she looked out the window with her light blue eyes. The trees in the yard had sprouted buds, and it was the beautiful spring season.

She had been immersed in the memories of the past for too long last night. Mental fatigue was not as easy to recover as physical fatigue. In fact, this kind of viewing used her own time and space-related powers to reproduce the traces left on the crystal, which consumed a lot of energy.

After stretching on the bed, Tilan still felt a little sleepy and wanted to retreat back to the quilt to continue sleeping, but now she was the leader of the Star-Seeking Covenant, and many people were paying attention to her behavior. If she really slept until the evening, it seemed a bit damaging to her image.

Thinking that she should have lunch and then come back to rest, Tilan reluctantly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

After washing up, she put on a decent and simple blue and white dress, arranged her hair in front of the mirror, and slightly adjusted the big blue ribbon around her waist with her fingers, then walked out of the room.

Arriving at the office in the city, sitting in the office, Tilan first quickly looked at whether there were any important things recently. After annotating and replying to some key matters, the rest of the unimportant matters were delegated to the deputies and assistants to complete.

"I'll trouble you with these." Tilan said goodbye to everyone in the office and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

"Hello, Lady Heshia~" The familiar cat-tail girl came to greet Tilan. The small black tail behind her was tied with a bow, elegant and a little naughty.

"It's Mimi." Tilan nodded. This person had been a member of the col settlement for a long time, but later went out for a while, until two years ago when the insect plague was rampant, she returned here again.

"What do you want to eat today?" Mimi saw Tilan preparing to go to get a meal and took the initiative to ask.

"I see there is still a lot of food in the backstage. I can make some for you. This is not taking advantage of privileges, but personal friendship~" As a member of the col settlement, Mimi knows Tilan's style and does not like to be special.

"Then make some sweet and delicious food." In the winter months, she, like everyone else, mostly eats bread and bacon, and there are few fresh fruits and vegetables.

"No problem, please wait." Then Tilan found a corner by the window at the edge of the cafeteria and sat down, waiting patiently.

The sun was shining outside the window, and a few small birds with bright yellow feathers were chirping happily, occasionally flying to the windowsill and flying away quickly.

Sitting here, Tilan could still vaguely smell the faint fragrance of flowers. Her eyes swept over the tender leaves on the branches and the brown and rough bark, and her mood slowly calmed down.

With her eyes slightly closed, Tilan propped up her head and closed her eyes for a nap, enjoying this moment of silence, not thinking about the past and the recent turbulent events.

A few minutes later, the slight sound of a porcelain plate being placed on the table sounded, causing Tilan to open her eyes.

"It's ready, Lady Heshia."

Mimi arranged the plates. One of them was white and tender tofu cubes like pudding, sprinkled with chopped green bay leaves and seasonings, and poured with a little soy sauce and vinegar. Another plate was roasted vegetable strips, including parsley, parsnips, potatoes and a little meat slices. The staple food was fragrant and distinct rice. Just as Tilan requested, it was a bit light, but it did not completely abandon protein intake and maintain nutritional balance.

"Thank you, this is exactly what I want." Tilan nodded slightly happily.

"Hehe, as long as Lady Heshia likes it." After saying that, Mimi shook her tail behind her and continued to work in the background.

After enjoying this perfect lunch, Tilan returned to the office and continued to handle government affairs until 3 pm, when she finished her work and left the room to take a walk to see what Orles was doing.

Following the vague perception in her consciousness, Tilan walked through corridors and houses and came to the corner of the city. This was the livestock farm in the city, with many fenced open spaces and tall sheds. Many livestock used to spend the winter here in the past. Now that spring has come, there are fewer animals and it seems a bit empty and idle.

Passing through several places where straw was piled up, Tilan heard a familiar flute sound, and then walked towards the sound, and finally saw Orles sitting on a tall haystack in the wide shed.

At this moment, she was immersed in the playing of the flute. Around the haystack below were several brown thick-haired cows and a group of calves. Several birds were standing on the windowsill and curiously poking their heads out to watch.

This song was played by Tilan before. I don't know why Orles learned it by herself. Maybe she was a little shy, so she found a place to practice, and now she has practiced it a bit like it.

After the song was over, Orles was still trying to figure out the technique of finger pressing. At this moment, Tilan jumped up lightly, flew to the haystack from the side, and landed beside her.

"You played very well, Orles." Her voice made the other party look up in surprise, and then hugged Tilan happily.

"Tilan~" She simply called the girl's name, expressing her inner happiness.

After that, the two sat on the haystack, and Tilan asked Orles why she came here.

"Niu Niu, cute~" Orles gave a simple and plain reason. She liked the calves here very much. It happened that there were not many people in the livestock farm during this period, so she often came here.

Sitting next to Tilan, Orles chirped like a cheerful bird and talked about her recent discoveries and many interesting things. Tilan sat aside and kept nodding and listening. Orles kept talking until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time Tilan had already fallen asleep on her shoulder.

When Orlesi finished the last story and found Tilan sleeping beside her, her eyes were filled with tenderness and happiness. She carefully placed Tilan in her arms, making her sleep more comfortably, just like she used to sleep in Tilan's arms.

Tilan, sleep, cute.

...

When Tilan woke up, it was already dark, and there were a few small star-like lights on the top of the shed.

"Tilan, sleep well." Orlesi said that Tilan had just fallen asleep, and then the two of them got down from the haystack and went back to dinner and rest.

After two days, when Tilan felt that she could start exploring the last mechanical cluster gathering point, urgent intelligence came from the southern jungle.

"Although the main group is still cutting down and searching the jungle like a carpet, some mechanical bodies have already passed over the jungle and flew directly in our direction!" When the urgent telegram was transmitted to the city, someone immediately took this information to find Tilan.

In the corridor of the government building, Tilan opened the telegram, read the report on it, and immediately put the residents of the city into martial law, and notified the nearby settlements and outposts to also enter a defensive alert state and report any situation at any time.

The current Star Chaser Alliance still has sufficient supplies, and each settlement and outpost is equipped with a telegraph machine, which can communicate in time and exchange information very quickly.

After learning about the situation, each settlement took action, and soon Tilan received a distress signal from one of the settlements.

"A large number of mechanical cockroaches are attacking here, and support is urgently needed."

It seems that action must be taken. Tilan's eyes quickly found the location of this settlement on the map, and after noting it, she began to take off and enter combat status.

Seeing that Lololia wanted to catch up, she shook her head and refused, "Lololia, just stay here." She didn't want to lose sight of one thing.

Then the air currents in the high altitude quickly separated in front of her, and the girl's speed increased again and again, until she finally broke through the sound barrier, turned into a misty black dot, and quickly shuttled through the violent air currents.

About 3 minutes later, Tilan came to the sky above the settlement that was attacked. There were many mechanical cockroaches circling and flying here. They hovered in the air from time to time like dragonflies to re-determine their targets and directions and then swooped down. The foot knives on their flanks flashed with cold silver light, and often one impact would split the resisters and obstacles along the way into pieces.

Looking at the flying mechanical cockroaches, Tilan shuttled back and forth, like a meteor threading a needle, breaking the mechanical cockroaches one by one. In almost ten seconds, hundreds of mechanical cockroaches disintegrated and fell from the air.

The silver sword in her hand slashed the mechanical body in front of her again, then passed by and flew to the next target. After a few seconds, the cut mechanical body disintegrated in flight, revealing a smooth incision.

...

After a few minutes, when the members who stayed in the settlement could no longer hear the mechanical humming and fighting sounds from the outside world, they carefully poked their heads out of the bunker and found that the ground was full of cut mechanical fragments. At this time, the sky was clear and blue, and no more swimming mechanical cockroaches were seen.

They looked around, and after a few seconds they found the girl who fell on the high ground of the settlement. At this moment, the other party still held the narrow silver sword in her hand, matched with the spotless blue and white dress, as if she was out for a spring outing.

"Lady Heshia!" Everyone ran over gratefully and immediately knelt down to thank her.

Although kneeling is not a ritual in the alliance system, everyone at the scene didn't care about that. They were so lucky to be alive. You know, they were prepared to sacrifice 80% of their people.

Usually, some small beast groups attacked and looted the enemy settlements, and many people died. Not to mention that a powerful mechanical cluster passed by. In this case, it was a kind of luck not to be silenced.

"Are you all okay? How many people are injured and need treatment?" The girl let go of the sword in her hand, making it dissipate like light sand, and walked towards the crowd.

"For now, it's okay." The leader stood up and began to count.

"Several people are seriously injured. I don't know if Her Highness Heshia can help them." They naturally hoped that their companions would be treated, but the seemingly weak girl in front of them was the real queen of this land. They didn't dare to expect too much, fearing that asking too much would offend the other party.

"Let me take a look at the situation." Tilan walked to the safe hiding place of the settlement and saw several wounded people here.

Because they encountered mechanical cockroaches, these people were all knife wounds. The shallow ones were just cut open, and the serious ones were all cut open. If they were not connected in time, I am afraid that they could only be filled with prostheses in the future.

Faced with such a situation, Tilan asked people to find broken limbs, and then skillfully manipulated the water flow to clean the wounds, and then began to connect the wounds and heal the broken blood vessels and nerves. Under the secret method that seemed almost miraculous to outsiders, the wounded here recovered quickly, and they were extremely grateful to the girl in front of them after they woke up.

No matter how brilliant and great the theory was, they didn't care much, but they still respected and appreciated the benefactor who saved them and saved them from disability. In this land, brilliant doctors are rare creatures, and because of the general indifference to life and the lack of the concept of elderly care, injuries and disabilities are basically not far from death.

"Thank you, Lord Heshia."

"Thank you, Lord Heshia."

"Long live Queen Heshia."

Because they were emotional, they didn't know how to express their emotions, so they could only repeat these words.

Facing the grateful and awed people around her, Tilan nodded slightly. She did not modestly decline or say "thank you" as she did in the past. Instead, she accepted the gratitude calmly and directed it in the right direction.

"Be prepared later. This battle with the mechanical cluster will last for a long time." Then he asked the leading few people to lead the residents here and prepare to move.

After dealing with the things here, Tilan jumped up from the ground again. The fierce air flow poured into her ears, blowing her hair and dress rapidly. Then she went into the sky again, raised one hand, and the slender fingers expanded a light golden halo in the air, and then spread in all directions like ripples. The whole sky seemed to have a flash of golden light.

Then she turned around and flew in one direction again.

A few minutes later, she encountered an aerial array composed of mechanical cockroaches again, blocking them in front of her.

Facing thousands of mechanical cockroaches, Tilan chanted a ballad-like spell, and a silver vertical light appeared between her eyebrows. Then she raised her hands, and a dazzling silver holy sword slowly took shape in the air.

The clear skeleton of the sword body precisely constructed a perfect load-bearing structure, followed by layers of brand patterns that flowed magic. These filaments were like circuits and spread all over the sword body, which could use magic extremely efficiently and transform it into various enchantment effects and abilities.

This is the crystallization of knowledge, the precipitation of civilization, and a gorgeous and durable flawless creation.

[Inherited Secret Art·Rose Holy Sword]

Finally, a tangled rose pattern formed on the surface of the blade, extending all the way to the hilt, creating a model of power and beauty.

Cutting·Speed·Separation·Transformation·Isolation·Breaking the Air

Many high-level extraordinary protections appeared on the sword. When the finger grasped the hilt, the mercury-like brilliance flowed through the entire sword body, and the silver curtain slowly opened in the sky.

She held the sword in both hands, slightly back at the side of her shoulders, and pointed the tip of the blade at the mechanical cockroach that covered the sky in front of her. The girl's heroic figure bloomed in the air, her skirt fluttering, and a number of equally dazzling silver holy swords took shape behind her, like thousands of troops, lined up in unison.

In an instant, the sword body trembled, and the silver holy swords passed through the air like whistling lightning, piercing and shattering the buzzing gray iron machinery.

The glittering debris fell like light rain all over the sky, embellishing the orange-red earth in the evening.
