The sun shines on the desolate land, and looking down from the sky, the whole world is within sight.
"This, this is the world outside the high walls...!"
Holding the railing in front of him, the boy widened his eyes in excitement, greedily looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him. Is this the scenery outside that he has always longed to see?
"What...should we do...now?"
The girl next to him held onto the railing anxiously and asked in a low voice. They were currently in a gap in the armor under the airship, and it was because these two people were children that they were able to get in. But even so, when the airship rose to a high altitude, the girl immediately felt that the situation was not good.
The biting cold in the sky, coupled with the howling wind, made it difficult to breathe. Fortunately, Fang Zheng's airship was slower than the plane, otherwise the two kids would have been thrown out of the airship and nowhere to go.
But even so, they could no longer bear it.
"I……"
Hearing the girl's question, the boy was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he had never thought about this before.
"Wait a little longer. This thing can't keep flying. It will eventually land! We can leave then!"
The boy answered with great pride, but the girl just looked at him helplessly, not knowing what to say. However, the boy didn't care about the girl's gaze at all, he just stuck his head out and looked at the land, rivers and lakes below.
For him, this was the moment his wish came true!
He finally saw the outside world with his own eyes!
The sword flashed.
"drink--!!"
With a cry, Toudou Qilin sheathed her sword, and behind her, a huge steel monster instantly broke into pieces and shattered. When Toudou Qilin stood up and looked around, she saw that the battlefield was still in chaos.
Eloy led a group of people dressed like primitive tribal soldiers and was fighting against another group of people dressed similarly to primitive tribes. However, Eloy's enemy was not only the other side, but also a group of strange and powerful mechanical monsters.
After the two sides reached an agreement, the girls followed Eloy to investigate the general. Then, under Eloy's leadership, they successfully found the female general who was ambushed by the assassin. However, the assassin was obviously not a pushover. Although the assassin's surprise attack caused considerable losses to her team, she still cheered up and led the soldiers to reorganize and plan revenge. Eloy and the girls naturally joined the female general's team.
After successfully removing the enemy's three sentry points, Eloy volunteered to sneak into the enemy's base, then detonated the explosives inside to blow up the wall of the enemy's base, and then the girls rushed in with other soldiers. Then, a melee began.
To the girls, the spear-wielding primitives were not a threat, but the metal monsters were more troublesome. However, to the girls, they were only slightly troublesome.
Not to mention Toudou Qilin and Nagakura Imari, even the injured Julie and Kakaguya Satsuki were able to deal with these metal monsters with ease - it must be said that the herbs Eloy gave them were still very useful. Of course, there were misunderstandings between the two sides in the beginning. After all, the girls watched Eloy grab a handful of fruits from a red plant on the roadside and stuff them into their mouths, and then told them that this could heal their wounds.
Of course the girls...don't believe it.
This isn't an RPG game, can you eat fruit to recover health? Even if it's an RPG, there are at least health bottles.
In the end, after Banjiu Shayue cast a magic spell and confirmed that the fruits were not poisonous, she and Julie still gritted their teeth and ate the fruits.
I have to say, it’s really unpalatable.
But what surprised the girls was that although this fruit tasted terrible, it really had a healing effect. After eating it a few times, their wounds had already begun to heal... Of course, although it was not completely healed, it did not affect their movements at the moment.
So the two of them joined the battle.
Banjiu Shayue was relatively conservative, and just used magic to provide defensive support in the rear, while Julie once again demonstrated her unpredictable speed and skills, shuttling through the crowd and knocking down those metal monsters and primitive soldiers one after another - well, according to Eloy, these people seemed to be believers in some cult worshipping the sun god, never mind, none of this mattered.
"careful!!"
At this moment, suddenly, accompanied by shouts, a heavy metal collision sound was heard, and then everyone saw a dark, huge, crab-like metal tank crawling out from the ground, and then a series of bullets flew out from the machine guns hanging on both sides of it and hit the battlefield.
The fierce firepower of the chariot immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. The Nora soldiers brought by Eloy also dodged in a hurry, and then turned to the chariot to launch a counterattack. However, their spears and bows and arrows were obviously completely useless in front of this dark and solid steel chariot.
"Qirin!"
"Cover me! Shayue."
"good!"
Hearing Qilin's words, Banjiu Satsuki nodded hurriedly, then she raised her shining lightsaber and pointed it high into the air. The next moment, pure white beams of light fell from the sky and landed on Toudou Qilin, Julie, and Nagakura Imari. At the moment the light flashed, the three girls immediately launched an attack on the chariot in front of them from three angles.
“Da da da da da da!!!”
Sensing the approach of the three girls, the chariot immediately changed direction and fired at them. However, these bullets, which were strong enough to penetrate metal and rock, were directly bounced away before hitting the barriers on the three people. Then, Imari Nagakura took the first step. She jumped up, raised the long sword in her hand high, and smashed it hard at the metal chariot.
"boom!!!"
The moment the metal chariot was hit by Imari Nagakura's sharp blade, it collapsed to the ground as if it could not withstand the huge impact. At the same time, Toto Kirin also appeared in front of it. She stared at the black chariot in front of her, holding the scabbard tightly with her left hand, and placed her right hand on the hilt. Then, with a flash of sword light, the machine guns hanging on both sides of the metal chariot, which were spewing flames and bullets wantonly, were completely cut off, and the originally continuous firepower network suddenly stagnated.
Seizing this opportunity, Julie rushed over like a white wolf, holding the black sharp blade tightly in both hands, and swung it hard at the metal chariot in front of her. With the interlaced and shining sword light, the next moment the huge metal chariot was completely cut open and fell to the ground without any movement.
“Ohhhhhhhh!!!”
With the fall of the metal chariot, the battle finally ended. The wounded Nora people raised their weapons high and cheered for victory.
The leading female general also came in front of the girls, half-knelt on the ground and muttered something.
"Uh... She was expressing her gratitude to us, thanking us for destroying the evil demons and avenging the deaths of her people..."
Banjiu Shayue next to her also tried to hold back her laughter and started translating, which made the three girls look helpless.
In fact, when they showed their abilities, the female general seemed to regard them as "messengers sent by the great mother goddess to fight against the evil spirits", which really made the girls speechless. To be honest, this world made them feel very awkward. Because following Eloy all the way, the girls have almost discovered that this world once had a very advanced technological civilization, but later it was destroyed for some unknown reason. And now these primitive tribes seem to know nothing about the former technological civilization.
For example, the metal chariot they just knocked down, even if the girls don’t play games very much, they know that it must be some kind of automatic mobile turret similar to a tank.
However, when people in this world talk about this thing, it is called the messenger of the evil demon... It sounds so magical that it almost doesn't seem real.
After communicating with the female general and Eloy for a while, Banjiu Shayue came back.
"What are your plans next? The female general is going back to her tribe, and she warmly invited us to be her guest. And Miss Eloy is going to a place called Meridian City, apparently to look for someone."
"this……"
Hearing Ikaruga Satsuki's question, the three girls gathered together and began to discuss. After a moment, Imari spoke first.
"I think we should go to Meridian City. After all, we haven't seen a city here since we came to this world. Besides, there must be a lot of people in the city, so it will be convenient to get information."
"Then it is decided."
Hearing Imari's answer, Ikaruga Satsuki also nodded.
"Let's follow Miss Eloy and go to Meridian City!"
Time passes.
Soon, night fell.
“…”
The two children curled up on the decks, almost huddled up in a ball, about to lose consciousness. In the severe cold at high altitude, they couldn't hold on for too long. Not to mention that they hadn't eaten yet, even the black-haired boy who was very excited at the beginning, was now curled up in a ball, shivering constantly, and tightly grasping the railing beside him. He even felt that his consciousness was beginning to blur, and the scenery in front of him became dim.
"……three……"
The boy opened his mouth and wanted to call out his companion's name, but his weak voice was quickly swallowed up by the howling wind.
Just as the boy turned around to check on his companions, suddenly...
"call--!!"
A violent gust of air suddenly blew, and the next moment the boy felt as if he had been hit by an invisible giant fist, and was directly knocked off the deck. He spun into the sky, and the world in front of him just kept spinning and became chaotic. The boy reluctantly stretched out his hand, hoping to grab something, but... the next moment, his body fell from the sky.
Disappeared into the dark earth.
