My hero is myself

Veronica, who had failed the assessment more than a dozen times in a row, was standing in front of her with a living example.

Obviously, it is not the will of the Holy Fire that makes you invincible!

In the end, it still depends on our performance and finding a way to break through the defenses of this fortress.

"Junior, do you have any ideas if you want to destroy the city defense?" Veronica asked Roland.

The tasks she received before were more focused on decryption, exploration, and fighting monsters.

This time it was destroyed directly under the eyes of the regular army, which was very different. She actually had no experience.

Intuition... no reaction at all!

It's better to ask for help from the thighs she identified in advance!

"Yes, yes, use your prophecy to guide us!"

Harvey could hear that Veronica valued Roland, and he was instinctively unhappy.

"Classmate Harvey, if you have a good idea, you can tell it." Veronica blinked and looked at Harvey expectantly.

Suddenly the desert prince wilted.

Facing a heavily defended military fortress, what can he do...

We can't call our father and lead an army of [-] to surround three but one!

"I don't believe he can come up with any ideas..."

Harvey lowered his head and muttered, and did not directly provoke Roland again.

Sivir said excitedly:

"Wait until night, sneak in, and kill them all!"

In three nights, as long as we work hard, we should be able to paralyze this fortress, right?

Veronica kept smiling and did not comment on the fanatic's suggestion.

She was still waiting for Roland's reply.

Roland looked at Veronica in surprise.

This eldest lady is white, rich and beautiful, but she is not stupid and sweet.

Influenced by a family of officials since she was a child, coupled with her own high charm, this little girl actually has some commanding ability.

At least it's easy to control a desert wild roe deer like Harvey.

In fact, with Roland's skill, a few simple operations can make this kind of brainless and arrogant prince be sent away as cannon fodder.

The Leaf of Destiny also takes time to activate, and will occasionally malfunction...

But it is not necessary.

He's just an idiot whose brain is controlled by hormones. With or without his cooperation, he could have passed such a difficult task alone.

If he wasn't on an undercover mission, he wouldn't need teammates at all.

He originally thought he would have to focus on controlling his teammates, but with Veronica taking on the responsibility of captain, he just lazily acted as a strategist!

Roland selected one of the several alternatives that he had just thought of that was suitable for the current team configuration:

"This mission lasts for three days. It is obviously not the type of frontal combat and forced breakthrough."

"There should be some available resources nearby, and we need to find them to reduce the difficulty of the task."

"There is an aura in that valley that makes me uneasy. Maybe I can go check it out."

Harvey said disdainfully: "Isn't that direction getting further and further away from our mission... Is your prediction reliable?"

"It's not a prediction, it's an analysis." Roland replied.

"That sounds even more unreliable..." Harvey covered his face.

"There's still a lot of time before nightfall. Let's go to the valley to take a look. If we don't find anything, we'll come back and try Sivir's proposal."

There was a convincing calmness in Veronica's voice, "Classmate Harvey, you can also think of other directions on the way, and you can give me any good suggestions!"

"Uh... I see..."

In the beautiful girl's eyes that said "I believe you will work hard", Harvey was defeated again.

His fighting spirit has entered his brain, and he is really not suitable for thinking. His head is too big...

If you can't give me good ideas, just obey the orders.

The four-person team headed towards the valley prompted by Roland.

Veronica deliberately walked a few steps slowly, came to Roland, and whispered apologetically:

"Junior, thank you for your patience with that idiot. I really miss home and need to unite every fighting force."

Roland could hear the sentimentality in her words.

The eldest lady who has never known sorrow is really having a hard time being away from home for three years without being able to contact her.

From excitedly dedicating himself to his faith, to being lonely and unable to become a positive person and losing contact with his family.

During those difficult nights, the eldest lady also grew and changed, right?

As a support person who is not good at fighting, it is not easy for her to remain as optimistic and cheerful as she is now.

"I understand. This time...please trust your divination results."

Roland didn't directly say that he would win this battle, which would have seemed too arrogant.

……

……

There are many monsters wandering in the dark valley, which can be fatal danger to ordinary people.

But both combatants in the team performed well.

In addition, Roland showed off his very accurate hand crossbow shooting skills and eliminated a few fish that slipped through the net. They entered the depths of the valley quite easily.

There was a crack in the ground, constantly releasing dark aura outwards.

This is also the main reason for the breeding of monsters.

"This is an ancient tomb. The crack was caused by an earthquake... There are quite terrifying beings buried inside... It is also connected to several surrounding peaks..."

Veronica cast the Flowing Flame Golden Medal and saw a lot of past and present information.

But not until the end.

She looked at everyone apologetically: "Sorry, I can only analyze so much."

Harvey curled his lips: "It's really a waste of time. Our mission was to destroy the city wall, but now we're wasting time hunting for treasure?"

"Perhaps there is a magical weapon underneath that can turn your fighting spirit into a horse and burn a large number of demons to death?" Roland said playfully.

"You're the one who turned your fighting spirit into a horse!" Harvey vowed to maintain the dignity of his fighting skills, "That's a deer, our clan's sacred deer, you bastard!"

"Let's go down and see."

Veronica's tone was firm, "I sensed more than one ancient tomb, and their existence must have meaning."

What she meant by this is open to multiple interpretations.

It seems to be saying that it is meaningful to complete the task, but in fact it is just saying that building the ancient tomb is meaningful...

If it was meaningless, we wouldn't build such a huge project in the mountains, right?

Roland couldn't help but smile a little.

What he said was not kind enough, but this future master of divination still improved his language art!

You are already a mature Riddler and can fool people independently.

……

……

Exploring the ancient tomb is much more difficult than the valley.

The monsters here exist based on the power of darkness. The closer they are to the ancient tomb, the stronger they become.

The good news is, Veronica can sense most dangers ahead of time.

Use the complex terrain of the underground palace to avoid monsters that are beyond their current stage.

Just lurking all the way, they approached the structural center of the ancient tomb.

There is no coffin here, but a piece of soil that is still moist after countless years.

A very beautiful leg was "planted" in the middle of the soil.

The legs are inlaid with golden scales, each with gorgeous and delicate lines.

The skin exposed in the gap is crystal white. It has experienced wind and frost and is still as smooth as a living person, maintaining vitality.

"Is this a ritual... waiting for resurrection?"

Harvey stared at this scene dumbfounded, remembering the operations of many ancient royal families in his own clan.

Although the methods are different.

But the core purpose is to retain the hope of resurrection that cannot be accomplished with current technology, and to wait for an opportunity to return to the human world.

Veronica activated the Flowing Flame Golden Medal again.

"The late emperor died unexpectedly, and the queen took charge..."

"...God's punishment comes from heaven, the back limbs are spread out in all directions, and the heart is on the highest mountain..."

"As long as the nine hundred and ninety-nine years of punishment are over, she will return to the world..."

Roland touched his chin:

"The highest mountain is the mountain where the military fortress is located."

Veronica opened her eyes, clenched her fists, her purple eyes full of excitement:

"Junior, your hunch is right. This ancient tomb, no, I should say this group of ancient tombs, is indeed the key to destroying the fortress's defense!"

"Are you sure that the nine hundred and ninety-nine years in the prophecy have passed?" Roland asked.

Veronica nodded vigorously: "This ancient tomb was built a thousand and a hundred years ago. When the fortress was built, the key ritual of placing the heart was destroyed, which prevented her from being resurrected."

"So, the Queen must hate those demons..." Roland showed a faint smile.

"Wait a minute, you mean that as long as we help the queen in this ancient tomb resurrect, she will take revenge on that military fortress? Will she definitely listen to us?"

Harvey felt that the two diviners were a little too optimistic. "I think this leg is very weird. If we provoke this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will destroy more than one fortress..."

"What if the floods come after we complete our mission?"

Veronica chuckled lightly, "The Pioneer Legion is right behind, and Apostle Faulkner is personally in charge. You must know that this is not a real battle, but a practical training arranged by the academy for us."

"No matter how powerful the sinner is, he will become ashes under the holy fire."

Sivir shouted fervently, fearlessly.

For the first time in his life, Roland wanted to praise the fanatics.

Yes, that’s it, believe in your holy fire unconditionally and move forward boldly.

Three against one, Harvey was uneasy and could only follow the team's actions.

"There are five ancient tombs in total. The first builders of the fortress have discovered it and sealed it to prevent the ancient queen from resurrecting."

"Our mission is to destroy his seal, then sneak into the fortress and let the queen's heart buried in the fortress come to light again."

"What follows is waiting for the ancient queen's revenge, waiting for both her and the fortress to suffer losses."

The information collected by Veronica was combined with the prophecy to formulate the entire action plan.

Due to geological changes, the seal of this ancient tomb has been destroyed.

They just need to continue cleaning and destroying the seals of the other three ancient tombs.

And finally sneak into the military fortress and find the heart of the ancient queen.

"In order to ensure efficiency, I suggest Harvey to observe the entry and exit of people in the military fortress. It is best to get a few sets of military uniforms to create opportunities for us to infiltrate."

Veronica knows Harvey doesn't want to enter the tomb and offers him another option.
