Become a martial girl

Chapter 344 Burning Before Dawn
The white wolf stood by Mengdie's side, its majesty made the people around dare not approach Mengdie and Aiya.Along the way, seeing the sorrow and chaos in the city, Mengdie clenched her fists unwillingly.She followed Aiya up the city wall, looking at the well-groomed Luwell army camps in the distance, secretly gritted her teeth.

Aiya first went to the command room and reported the situation in the city to Sisko and Linda.Sisko and Linda were overwhelmed by the military situation, so they just nodded and let Aiya go out.Mengdie leaned against the wall, snowflakes fell on her hair, adorning her like the goddess of winter.

"Strange, are the guards at the Gate of Blessing so strong? They haven't been breached yet?"

Mengdie pointed to the barracks on the north and west, and then pointed to the direction of the Gate of Blessing on the northwest, and asked.

Aiya walked to Mengdie and said, "That's not the case. According to intelligence, only [-] imperial troops broke through the Gate of Praise and the Gate of Admiration. That is to say, there are more than [-] other troops stationed at the Gate of Blessing." One side. The gate of blessing is the most difficult to defend among the three gates because it is very wide. I think that the reason why the gate has not been captured is entirely due to the command of the imperial god of war, General Del. Meaning."

"Prior to this, I have consulted various documents about General Del. In terms of military capabilities, that general is indeed very powerful. However, it is precisely because of his invincibility that this general There have been some acts of arrogance in the war of aggression in recent years."

Mengdie thought about it, and felt that Aiya's guess was indeed reasonable.During the battle in Copper Hammer City, General Del once acted very proudly, not paying attention to the enemy at all.Although she didn't see it in the belly of the dragon at the time, according to Huo Meng's narration, it shouldn't be wrong.

"There are two reasons why he didn't break through the gate of blessing. First, because the invisible enemy is always the most terrifying. If all three gates are broken, the Silver Moon army will feel at ease. But now this gate isolates the enemy army , will bring us a lot of invisible pressure."

"And the second point is that the general's arrogance is at work. It can be said that he is already playing with the Silver Moon Army, instead of treating us as equal soldiers to fight. If we can take advantage of this... ..."

Aiya spoke calmly.But at this point, her tone suddenly stopped.Mengdie originally just listened to Aiya's words.But when she heard her suddenly stop talking, doubts immediately arose in her heart, she turned her head and looked at her.

Aiya smiled slightly and shook her head: "I'm sorry, please forget what I said. I'm just a maid, and women shouldn't be involved in this war at all."

After finishing speaking, amid Mengdie's still suspicious expression, the maid slowly raised her head and looked at the sky.looking at—

Those slowly falling snowflakes...

"Two days... two more days... if heaven and man wish..."

The snow is still falling quietly like that.

--------------------------

Before leaving the city wall, Mengdie went to the command room and asked Sisko and Linda if they had any good plans to defeat the enemy.But the result is still disappointing.Because she was worried about Sasara, Mengdie decided to go back to the Knight's Mansion first to take care of her.Aiya continued to stay in the command room, assisting the two royal knights.

In the past two days, Mengdie has been busy.Every morning after getting up, I will escort Aiya to the city wall, and take care of Nia and Sasara after returning.The turbulent streets became more and more chaotic. Even with the white wolf by his side, sometimes there would be some civilians holding sickles and glaring at Mengdie.I believe that everyone's endurance has reached the limit.

The turbulent two days passed like this, and when night fell again, the lights lit in the city began to flicker.In these two days, the Sisko couple still failed to come back from the city wall.Mengdie, Aiya, Niya, and Sasara in a cloak could only gather around the round table and eat by candlelight.The white wolf lay at Mengdie's feet, it closed its eyes after gnawing on the meat and bones, and seemed to be asleep.

The hustle and bustle outside is still not quiet at night.With the situation of the first day, there are more soldiers on patrol.But in this way, it can only make those people panic and riot even more.According to Aiya, during the day, there were several incidents of civilians rushing into noble mansions and massacring them.In order to protect the safety of the three girls here, Mengdie could only put aside the patrol.

"Dangling...Dangling..."

The sound of knives and forks hitting dishes echoed dryly in the restaurant.Mengdie no longer knew how long this meal had been.maybe only half an hour?Or has it been five or six hours?

"... Aiya, the deadline is ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Do you really have no good ideas?"

Putting down the fork, Mengdie suddenly asked.Her question made Aiya pause for a moment.Half a second later, Aiya tore off a small piece of bread and poured salad dressing on it: "How did you think of this?"

"Because you seem to have a way."

The salad dressing stopped, Aiya's hands were hanging in the air, her eyes were fixed on the bread on the plate.At the same time, Nia and Sasara stopped what they were doing and looked at the maid.

......... After a long time, the salad dressing was put back on the table again.Mengdie was greeted with a gentle smile: "I'm a girl, how can I find a good way? There is no shortage of talents in the kingdom, and the clumsy skills I came up with will only make people laugh. And, The method I came up with doesn't work at all. Or rather, no one can do it at all."

"Really? Then you might as well talk about it." Mengdie didn't give up and chased after her.But no matter how she asked, Aiya always shook her head and smiled without answering.Seeing her resolute refusal, Mengdie knew that there would be nothing to ask if she asked again, so she could only sigh and put away the dinner plate in front of her.

That is at this time...

"Huh? Sister, are there fireworks outside?"

Mengdie was surprised and moved to the window to look out.There seemed to be some red light looming in the direction of the castle on the hillside.It is really beautiful to reflect the dark sky into red.

"Cough... have people set fires now? The security situation is really getting worse."

With just one glance, Mengdie could tell that it was not fireworks, but fire.With such turmoil in the city, it is not uncommon for someone to set fire to it.

"what!!!"

However, after seeing the flame, Aiya behind her let out a desperate scream!
"The Grain Depot! That's Yinyue's Grain Depot burning! Silver Moon's year's worth of grain has been stored!"

From meeting again to now, Mengdie saw Aiya showing such a frightened expression for the first time.She pushed the dishes in her hand, and rushed towards the door without even thinking about it!
"Damn it, burn the army rations!!! Is the Luwell Empire trying to kill them all?! Nia, Lasha, you two are not allowed to go here or there. This is not a request, it is my order! White wolf, you Take care of them, everything is waiting for me to come back!!!”

After explaining, Mengdie immediately followed Aiya's footsteps and rushed out of the knight's mansion.At this time, attracted by the firelight, many people woke up from their sleep and looked at the "fireworks" over there with an expression of not knowing anything.What would happen if they knew that it was their rations that were being burned?

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The fire alarm bell rang, and many soldiers left their posts and rushed to the place where the fire was burning with buckets.Aiya is a girl with a weaker body.As soon as he was hit by the impatient soldier, he couldn't stand still and sat down on the ground.

"Bitch! Get out of the way!!!"

The soldier who knocked Aiya away dropped a swear word, and continued running towards the direction of the fire with the bucket in hand.

Mengdie who arrived later stepped forward to support Aiya.At this time, there were still many soldiers rushing here with buckets behind them.Mengdie quickly picked up Aiya, jumped into the side path, and rushed to the place where the fire broke out under Aiya's command.

From the night when she first came to Yinyue, Mengdie has been confused by the strange architectural layout of the city.I still remember that in order to find a necklace in the grove outside the city, Mengdie had to bump around in the city for several hours before reaching the city wall.But such a layout does not seem to be very difficult for Aiya, she points here and points there.Bypassing many dead ends, it was as if a silver moon's global map was reflected in his mind, leading Mengdie to the sea of ​​flames.

"You are amazing! You can recognize all the paths!"

Aiya was held in Mengdie's arms, looking a little embarrassed.But after thinking about it, the one holding him was a girl anyway, so he didn't mind much.

"As long as you live here long enough, you can remember it too. Ah, turn right from the front, there is a two-meter-high step there, jump directly up."

Mengdie nodded, and quickly rushed to the corner with Aiya in her arms...

"Um?!"

suddenly!Mengdie stopped in an instant!She stood in front of the corner, standing still as if she was thinking about something!Aiya was surprised, just when she was about to ask, a figure suddenly emerged from the other side of the corner, rushing into Mengdie's arms in a hurry.

"what!"

The figure didn't seem to notice the person in front of him, panicked and fell forward.Mengdie moved her feet aside, and at the same time raised her right foot to firmly press against the man's abdomen, preventing him from falling to the ground.

"Are you OK."

Withdrawing her feet, Mengdie did not continue to move.She stood aside, watching the man silently, watching him stand up slowly.

(the smell of smoke...)
