At the same time, Estell and her group were rushing towards Gransel.
"Hurry, Joshua!"
"Well, we must hurry!"
Looking at Joshua beside her, although she knew the situation was urgent, Estelle still felt a little sweet in her heart. Not long ago, she was captured by the society and taken to their air battleship because of a trap. Then Estelle escaped and met Joshua who had been missing for a long time. She also understood why he left her.
But in the end, he returned to his own side.
Although she learned about Joshua's past from the man called Sword Emperor, this did not shake Estelle's will and belief.
For her, Joshua is still her most indispensable existence.
"Grancel City is just ahead!!"
Hearing the reminder from Sherazad beside him, Estel also hurriedly gathered her spirits and looked forward. Not long ago, they saw the society's airship passing through the sky. Joshua therefore concluded that the society's target was the queen and princess of Liberl's capital, so they hurried to the capital. But even so, manpower could not catch up with the airship after all. Now these guerrillas could only pray that the capital could hold on and wait for their arrival and support.
However, when they arrived at the gate of Gransel, the sight before them was shocking.
“What… is going on?”
Estelle widened her eyes in surprise and looked ahead of her.
At the city gate, the society's unmanned combat machines had turned into a pile of scrap metal, and the hunters in red combat uniforms were lying all over the ground. Even the society's airship had turned into a pile of rubble. Everyone hurried to the wreckage and stared at the battlefield in surprise.
"How come? They failed?"
"Has the king's capital been secured?"
“Huff, huff, huff…”
However, just when the four were confused, a chuckle came from above their heads. Looking up, they saw Ling in a white dress sitting on the city wall, looking at them with a smile.
"Oh, Sister Estelle, what a pity that you guys are a step late. Ah, did you find Brother Joshua? Congratulations."
"Ah, thank you... No, what on earth is going on?!"
"Just like what you saw, big sister, the gang of rats attacked the capital. We received a request for assistance from Her Majesty the Queen, so we came to help defend it. I am in charge of the south gate, Tio is in charge of the east gate, Illya is in charge of the west gate, and Fei is working with sister Enaya to help the kingdom army evacuate the people of the royal city and eliminate the first wave of hunters who sneaked into the royal city."
"And what about the palace? How are Her Majesty the Queen and the Princess?"
At this time, Sherazade also hurriedly asked, and Ling shook her head.
"I don't know about that. Big brother gave it to Xiao Hei to take care of. I hope she doesn't mess it up this time."
"We have to hurry."
Upon hearing this, Joshua's expression changed and he hurriedly spoke to Estel, Sherazade and Agaji.
"Although Miss Xiaohei is very powerful, the team leader this time is the Seventh Pillar of the Serpent Apostles, the Saint of Steel, and with Levi and the Illusion Bell by her side, I'm afraid the situation is not good..."
“——!!!”
However, before Joshua finished speaking, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted, and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. Then they saw a silver light with a long trail in the direction of the royal city, flying straight up into the sky. However, at the same time, a golden beam of light appeared instantly, and then hit the silver light ball in front.
"boom--!!"
The next moment, a flaming explosion covered almost two-thirds of the sky, dyeing everything bright red.
"That's the royal city!"
Estelle's expression also changed drastically.
"Let's get there quickly!!"
As they talked, the four of them rushed in hurriedly, and looking at the fireworks in the sky, Ling curled her lips.
"Well, it looks like she screwed up again."
Fang Zheng was also shocked when he received the news from Xiao Hei.
"What the hell? You screwed up again?"
"I didn't expect that, big brother!!"
Xiao Hei was also speechless at this moment.
"There was a Steel Leftover Girl among them. Although she wasn't very powerful, she was thick-skinned and could not be killed no matter what I did. She was so annoying that I finally got fed up with her, so I locked up their inherent barrier tightly and planned to kill them all with one ruthless blow. But the leftover girl actually summoned a Gundam, broke my inherent barrier, and ran away with the other two!!"
"…What did you say? Gundam?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Hei hurriedly began to explain.
"Yeah, it's that kind of large humanoid robot, and that robot is weird, it seems to contain some kind of order of this world... In this case, there's nothing I can do!"
"Well... then you really can't do anything."
Fang Zheng did not doubt that Xiao Hei was making excuses. After traveling through so many worlds, he certainly knew that each world was inclined to its own. In other words, when the power rules of the local world and the other world competed at the same time, the local order rules would definitely have absolute priority. Xiao Hei's inherent barrier was completely based on the laws of the other world. If it confronted the laws of the local world of the Semlia continent, it would definitely have no chance of winning.
"So you should come, big brother. The immortality of that woman is very strange, as if it is some kind of curse, but I can't remove it even with Rulebreaker, so it's not my fault. So it's not that I, Xiao Hei, didn't work hard, but that the other party has a Gundam!"
"All right."
Fang Zheng nodded. What Xiao Hei said was not wrong. After all, she was just a heroic spirit. Her fighting ability was great. But when it came to fighting at the level of order power and law, Xiao Hei was not even as good as the two demigods Nymph and Yui.
Although Rulebreaker can break all magic curses, the problem is that at the level of rules, any power can only be countered by the power that also has rules, order and laws. Assuming that the undead curse on that woman comes from here, then only Fang Zheng can deal with her.
"By the way, you didn't blow up the royal city again, did you?"
"Of course not, I opened the inherent barrier this time!"
"That's good...what's the situation now?"
"Well... just now, Estel and Joshua came back and brought news. Then, Chlos found us and hoped to borrow the Blizzard to go to the floating city and fight against the association's aerial battleships..."
"No problem, you guys go to the floating city first, I'll be there soon."
Originally, Fang Zheng thought that his little girl was enough to deal with the rats in the society, but he didn't expect that there were guys who held the laws of the continent of Semlia among them. It seems that there are still a few mutant species among these sewer rats.
"Well……"
"What happened again?"
"Brother, I just received news that the Empire has assembled a division of troops outside the borders of Liberl, including a tank unit..."
"Didn't they say that the entire Liberl region has been affected by the Ordinal Stasis phenomenon? Where did these people get the tanks?"
"It seems to be a steam engine..."
"oh……"
"Brother, Chloë said she wants to negotiate with the other party on behalf of the queen. Do you want to come with us?"
"No, I'm not suitable for this kind of occasion."
Hearing Xiao Hei's suggestion, Fang Zheng shook his head. He was now preparing to take control of Crossbell. If he appeared beside Cross at this time, then when Crossbell became independent in the future, it would be very likely that the Empire and the Republic would think that it was closely related to the Kingdom of Liberl.
"Just you, Illya, and Ling will go with you. I think the Empire is just pretending, but if they are not pretending... I allow you to activate the ground suppression system on the Blizzard."
"Understood, big brother!"
After ending Xiao Hei's call, Fang Zheng sighed and looked at the sky in front of him. Then, he snorted coldly with a gloomy face.
These bastards in the association are really annoying.
Very good, in that case, then I will go and completely destroy their plan!!
At the same time, high in the sky above Liberl, the Blizzard was ready.
The imperial army approaching the Haken Gate did not pose any threat, because just when the two sides were confronting each other, the previously sloppy blond idiot suddenly appeared and revealed his true identity. It turned out that the blond idiot was the son of the Imperial Emperor, the Prince of Erebonia - Oliver Lezer Anor.
At his signal, the empire finally chose to retreat, and this blond, mentally retarded prince once again boarded the Blizzard as a representative of the empire.
"It seems that you Imperials still have some brains."
Xiao Hei sat on the chair and looked at the blond prince with a smile.
"You know, Big Brother gave me the authority to activate the ground suppression system on the Blizzard if the Empire launches an attack on the Kingdom of Liberl. Now it seems that you all escaped, which is really gratifying."
"Haha, after all, we still have to pretend to be politically correct."
Olivier, who had been dressed in royal aristocratic garb, now changed back into the clothes he wore when he was disguised as a minstrel.
"By the way, what exactly is the ground suppression system?"
“…”
In response to Olivier's question, Xiao Hei, Ling, and Tio looked at each other.
"I won't tell you."
“…”
Without receiving any intelligence, Olivier shrugged his shoulders without any concern. As a member who had participated in the liberation of the capital, Olivier certainly knew how terrifying the Blizzard was. It could easily break through the height limit that other airships could not reach, and it could also attack the ground from high altitude at will, and it was extremely accurate - you have to know that projecting from a height of 10,000 meters is not as simple as simply throwing a stone from the top of a tower.
Although Olivier's specialty was not guide technology, he knew that this was far beyond the technological scope of the empire.
At this moment, suddenly, Theo's flat and unmoving voice sounded.
"Radar response, five association airships detected."
"Kill them!"
"clear."
Soon, on the screen, everyone saw five red airships approaching the Blizzard.
"Target locked, fire!"
Along with Theo's report, the next moment, everyone saw five yellow beams of light flash suddenly, almost simultaneously penetrating the five airships, and then the five airships exploded in the air at the same time, turning into fireworks.
"How amazing... They can actually launch an attack from such a distance..."
Seeing this scene, Captain Yulia also took a breath of cold air. From the screen next to her, she could see that the five airships were still nearly a thousand meters away from the Blizzard. Strictly speaking, at this distance, it was impossible for them to even spot each other. However, the Blizzard not only easily locked onto the target a thousand meters away, but also killed it instantly.
They didn't even need a gunner to aim, they could automatically lock and shoot. Captain Yulia could even guess that until the moment of destruction, the five airships probably didn't know where the threat to them came from.
Just as everyone was sighing about this, Theo's voice sounded again.
"At eight o'clock, a warship with a total length of 250 meters is approaching."
"That's the Society's Ark!"
Hearing this, Joshua's face also became solemn.
"It has a powerful main gun, and its hull is protected by countless automatic turrets. Its attack and defense are impeccable. I suggest that we speed up and disengage directly!"
“That’s not necessary.”
However, Xiao Hei directly rejected Joshua's proposal.
"Big Brother means to annihilate them all. That's perfect. We should also show the Society that their little triangular cat tricks are nothing to us! Tio, activate shield overload and load the Guristas Inferno Light Missiles!!"
As he spoke, Xiao Hei walked to the command desk and looked at the screen in front of him fiercely.
"Let the association see the power of our Starlight Technology!!"
