Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1261 The Breath of War

"Conscription Order".

Ye Nai opened the light green booklet in her hand and saw a short line of text inside, which represented the New Tree Shadow City's call for elves. Another group of elves needed to go to the front line. They could not even participate in the frontal battlefield, but were the ones who transported materials and supplies in the rear.

"They will die."

Ye Nai closed the book.

Even the elves with two lives are no exception. Xinshu Cinema is not strong enough to fight against the most powerful soldiers, and can only rely on the fruits brought by tourists to hold on to this land.

"For New Tree Studios, is this an acceptable sacrifice? Ellu's decision... is cold, but right. The elves all have a second life, and it is okay to sacrifice one of their lives in exchange for a staged victory. of."

Receiving the draft order meant that she had to report to the military camp the next day. Ye Nai has no objection to this. Whether she joins the army or not, it has no impact on her.

"But has Ellu noticed the changes in Xinshu Cinema? She is an instructor, so she should be able to detect it. If she is more optimistic, she should have set corresponding traps."

A strip of white cloth hangs from the door of the shop.

Compared to the battle in the Hermit Valley, these white cloths have become more hidden now. If Lu Ning had not undergone transformation, he might not have noticed the white cloths tied around the city. They take advantage of the cognitive shielding of people in this scene and are invisible to ordinary people.

However, Kukash did not show up. These white cloths all appeared suddenly, and Ye Nai didn't know when this white cloth was hung at the door of her shop.

He really didn't hide that he was already here and was announcing the next murder.

"Luckily so am I."

Ye Nai put the brochure away, opened the store, and sold the remaining items at a discount. Then she closed the store and went to exchange for the license to open the store.

"Ye Nai."

On the way home, an elf called her. Ye Nai recognized this elf as her neighbor and seemed to be the person in charge of the street. However, compared with when she first saw him, this elf looked younger and healthier. The most important thing was that he had more hair on his wrists. A strip of white cloth.

It's like an infectious disease...

"Mr. Dana, what's the matter?"

"I reported your joining the army," the elf said. "I'm here to explain to you that I think every elf should contribute to the construction of New Tree Studios, including you and me. "

"Are you ashamed? There's no need, Mr. Dana. I'm from outside. I know what the outside world is like."

"……what's the situation?"

"At any time, people wearing completely different clothes may suddenly appear, and then they will kill you without any explanation. Death comes without any reason, because their fighting power far exceeds our imagination." Ye Nai said seriously, " Even Xinshu Cinema is not safe.”

"Isn't it safe here too?"

"It's all the same, Mr. Dana. It makes no difference whether you die quietly outside or die fighting here. After one war, there will be another."

After saying that, Ye Nai didn't stop and returned home. She didn't have much luggage to pack, and Ye Nai still had to stay in Xinshu Cinema for a while.

Sure enough, Kukash had already hidden, and she could no longer find him from the traces of time. If she could fully control the power of time, maybe she could bring out Kukash, but unfortunately, space is still the most convenient thing for her at the moment.

"Here he will take the final step to the stars."

【Need support? 】

"It's not necessary. You can continue with your plan. The threat of Jingshen cannot be ignored."

[I have a premonition, although to me, premonitions are always just some kind of hallucination after overwork. 】

"What is it?"

[We have no differences at all, the issues are the same. 】

"Wouldn't that be better?"

[Yeah, maybe better. 】

Even new recruits need to enter the battlefield immediately after a short period of training. Although Xinshu Cinema is currently focused on defense, the defense line is very wide. There are a large number of defensive points outside Xinshu Cinema, echoing the command inside Xinshu Cinema. The supplies needed by the garrisons in these places are transported out by Xinshu Cinema.

Due to the special nature of the "Glory Silhouette", this transportation road is full of unknown dangers, because it is impossible to predict when the enemy will come out, so the team transporting supplies needs someone as an early warning - or to put it more bluntly, a line-filling team .

The probability of an actual attack is not that high, but if it does happen, there is a high probability of death. Ye Nai also participated in several transportation missions after being drafted into the army, but was lucky enough not to encounter them.

But the mood in the team has never been very high. This kind of transportation work does not give people a sense of honor for participating in the war. Instead, it will accumulate negative emotions due to the fear of each departure and the fatigue after returning. Because of this, the transportation team will not go on consecutive missions, but in shifts. system.

When the mission notification came again, several elves sleeping in the dormitory woke up from their dreams.

"how come……"

"Isn't there still a few days left?"

Several elves looked at each other in panic, but Ye Nai, who was sitting on the upper bunk, remained silent and just picked up a charcoal pen and drew a cross behind a row of vertical lines on the wall next to her.

"The transport team on this mission was attacked and completely wiped out! We are on an emergency mission! I taught you!"

The person who issued the order had a stern look. Compared to the soldiers who knew nothing, she knew a little more and was more afraid. Although regular troops follow every transportation, who knows the strength of the enemy that appears this time? There are many enemies that the regular army cannot defeat. It is just the difference between some of them dying and all of them dying. What I encountered this time was a very strong "silhouette". No one from the departing team survived. This team will set off immediately as a backup team. In addition to continuing to perform transportation tasks, one of the tasks is to check the scene where the previous team died.

Ye Nai put on her military uniform, picked up the staff and saber assigned by the elf, and walked out of the dormitory.

"Everyone, hurry up! We need to leave immediately!"

Someone responded, giving the herald more courage. She shouted again and watched the elves in the house run out in panic.

These elves are not actually soldiers at all, just people who can fight.

Such a mixed team, if there were not many elves responsible for supervising the army, would probably collapse quickly if they really fought. But Ye Nai didn't care about this. After setting off with the new baggage, the team saw the wreckage left behind after the previous team was destroyed at sunset. The flames burned most of the traces, and a few bones were incomplete. Some elves even vomited out, probably because they had a pretty good life at New Tree Studios, and these elves were no longer used to all kinds of disgusting scenes.

Ye Nai squatted down next to a corpse with only half a chest left.

Because it was torn into this shape, the body escaped the flames. Ye Nai observed that the edge of the wound that had begun to decay slightly showed signs of tearing, rather than being chopped with a sharp weapon or smashed with a blunt instrument.

"Collect the wreckage, send a small team, and prepare to send it back! Others continue to transport, the target is Outpost No. 19!" the officer leading the team ordered.

Not alert? Is this officer so sure that the enemy has escaped?

Ye Nai was a little confused, and then, in the air that was about to recede from the heat at the end of summer, a burning smell suddenly filled her nose.

The experienced soldiers immediately fell to the ground, and the inexperienced recruits had not yet realized what had happened. Three beams of flames the size of millstones suddenly appeared from the surrounding open space and crisscrossed through the ranks of the elves. The high temperature instantly killed at least half of the elves, and when the pillar of fire faded, several soldiers wearing red robes suddenly appeared.

Red Ghost Force - A group of mages who are proficient in assassination. This group of people is the kind of troops whose mission is to kill. They will not listen to any words at all, and they will definitely hunt down and kill all the civilized creatures they see. Their methods were insidious and cunning, perhaps because in their era, it was impossible to survive otherwise.

Crimson magic blades took shape in their hands, hidden on the faces under the red ghost's face. Only the eyes were still radiating bloodthirsty light. The officer was still alive, and he was loudly issuing orders to organize an attack, but how could this ragtag group of men under him gather into a team capable of fighting? The officer raised his staff and tried to command the team with his own attack, but the next second a red flying blade swung past his neck.

This officer is also a young man who has never fought in a war.

With this thought in mind, Ye Nai raised her staff and gently laid it on the ground.

The earth shattered and walls of earth rose from all directions, separating the remaining elves and red ghost troops. Although the crimson blade can damage the earth wall, it is not as easy as cutting into the human body before. This barrier bought Ye Nai time—and of course gave some elves some opportunities to escape.

"I remember...Professor Pan seemed to have died in their attack? Even if he wasn't, that's pretty much it."

At this time, the scene when I first came to this scene clearly appeared in my mind again. Although it was embarrassing at that time, it was still a time after the war ended and vitality was restored.

It’s only been a little over a year.

Ye Nai waved the staff gently, and flames spurted out from the cracks in the ground. At the same time, the Red Ghost troops had also discovered the fluctuations in her magic power, and rushed over with magic blades in hand. The robes they wear are obviously extremely resistant to magic, and they don't need additional protection to pass through the flames.

But at this time, Ye Nai had already turned a stone into a pointed bullet shape.

This group of mages has extremely high resistance to magic, but their physical defense capabilities can only be said to be average. For her now, all she needs to do is throw away the stone bullet and shoot it.

There was a short roar, accompanied by several crashes on the earth wall. The first one had just climbed over the earth wall, and saw the head of Ye Nai's Red Ghost troop behind the wall suddenly exploded, and his unbalanced body fell down with the inertia. Falling, splashing another color of red. Then came the second and third whistling sounds.

After a while, the surroundings became silent, leaving only the sound of flames burning and exploding from time to time.

"There is another...captain." Ye Nai said, "He used elimination magic to hide himself again. His quick reaction makes him a master of assassination."

No one responded, and the assassin had already hidden his figure, looking for the most suitable way to approach her.

"How was this invisibility technique developed? The invisibility ability is the strongest among the hidden magics I have seen. Smells, sounds, and even contact with the world are all hidden, and it is impossible to capture a trace of movement. . Red ghosts...are really a bunch of ghost-like guys."

She was very sure that this was not some trick of hiding in the gaps of space. After all, all the surrounding spaces were within her observation. This is an amazing magic, because it even evades the weakness of invisibility's greatest enemy - wide-area bombardment.

Ye Nai threw away the staff, held the blade of the saber at her waist, and closed her eyes slightly.

"Karihara..."

In the scorching air, the breeze created by squeezing away the air brought a little coolness.

"Jumonji Slash."

The moment the saber was unsheathed, it shattered into pieces due to the powerful force, but the sword still slashed out. Two vertical and horizontal cracks spread out in all directions with Ye Nai as the center point, and a man in red robe was opening the crack in front of her. above the path.

The crimson magic knife, the robe, and the people inside were all cut open by this slash. The ghost face slipped from his face, revealing a young face. There was no expression on that face, as if it were a dead person.

"But you still have to reveal yourself when attacking. After all, this kind of invisibility has blocked even contact with the outside world."

Ye Nai threw away the hilt of the knife in her hand.

Killing this red ghost army was enough for her to gain the attention of the upper echelons of Xinshu Cinema and move into a higher position. In this way, it will be more convenient to squat and guard Kukash near Ellu. Ye Nai is not worried about the lack of substantial gains these days. After all, fishing requires patience.

And things developed just as she expected.

In this world, people who can deal with "silhouette" are always precious. This slash was quickly noticed, and Ye Nai's identity also changed from an ordinary soldier in the army to one of the officers trained in special operations. . Although the method she used cannot be copied exactly, it can be reproduced on other soldiers through the assistance of other means. This value is much higher than a powerful combat power.

But after going around in a circle and returning to this position, Ye Nai also felt a little bit amused. But the good thing is that in more important military meetings or operations, she can finally join the upper-level circle and receive direct instructions from the team led by Elu.

In such a war atmosphere, time has arrived in autumn. Houses draped in white cloth already occupy about a quarter of New Tree Studios. At the same time, Elu also issued a very abrupt order to conduct a census of all residents of Xinshu Cinema and re-register them.
