Surprised me into a goddess of light

If she can do that kind of thing, why can't I?

The white hands slowly approached Sophia's face, then moved to the neckline, and then down.

I was about to tap it a few times to see how Sophia would respond, when I heard a giant bird's cry, and the flying altitude dropped rapidly.

In the feeling of weightlessness, I was slightly startled, and immediately withdrew my hand, took a few steps back, pretending nothing happened, Sophia also woke up, and slowly sat up.

Damn giant bird!

I looked at the bird's head slightly angrily, but saw a deep circular canyon in front of the giant bird, which looked like a huge footprint from a distance, and the giant bird was flying towards the canyon.

Was it caused by the aftermath of Alexander's battle?

I walked quickly to the bird's head, and Sophia also walked over, looking at the deep canyon in front of me: "This...is a strange terrain, Eve, what happened?"

"I don't know."

I pointed to the giant bird under my feet: "It seems to have found something and is taking us there?"

The giant bird continued to fly, and after a short while, it went deep into the bottom of a thousand-meter canyon and landed on a huge rock.

The holy light of the bird's body illuminated the dark valley bottom, and the two of them looked along the line of sight of the giant bird, and saw a strange black mist that kept surging.

Seeing the two coming, the black mist seemed to have an active consciousness, and slowly approached the two while surging.

Sophia immediately grasped the long sword, looking alert: "Eve, be careful!"

But I noticed an inexplicable familiarity from the black mist.

Until the black mist came within three meters, it finally stopped moving.

I also remembered the source of the familiarity, and asked tentatively, "Apache?"

The black mist didn't respond, just suspended quietly.

Apache, as a member of the Dark God, just obeys the order of the Dark God to follow and protect me. He has no contractual relationship with me, and I cannot contact or identify him through means other than Snow Heron.

However, judging from the canyon that was collapsed by Alexander and my intuition, this black mist is Apache...

It's terrible, but it's good that he's not dead, he seems to be recovering, just very slowly.

It's a pity that most of the light and water magics I have mastered are aimed at the real body. Apache's situation is not even ashes, and I don't know dark elemental magic, otherwise there may be a way...

I thought about it for a while, and wanted to take away this cloud of black mist, but this mist-like energy is very inconvenient to carry, and trying to put him into the space ring also failed.

Suddenly, I remembered the small iron box with a silver crack that Samuel left me.

650

Going to Taranto, I took out the small iron box, opened it along the silver crack, and sent Apache's black mist into the box with wind magic.

As expected of an item that used to store the dark godhead, although the small iron box looks small, it seems that there is something else inside, and it can easily absorb all the black mist.

But in this way, because the space ring can't store life, the small iron box can't be put into the space ring either.

I didn't pay much attention to it. I just closed the small tin box and put it in my jacket pocket. I guess it won't be lost.

It was an unexpected joy to 'retrieve' the Apache, and Sofia and I climbed back on the back of the bird and flew to the city of Burrell.

In the morning, the two and one bird finally left the endless Helen Mountains and entered the plains.

Snowflakes fluttered ahead, revealing the outline of a city.

Under my order, the giant bird flew straight over the city gate without slowing down.

During the war, the guards guarding the city were very cautious. They had noticed the flying giant birds and monsters early on, but there was a white holy light around the giant birds, and the hostility was unknown, so they didn't attack at will, but the magic guides The guns are ready to go.

Several generals assembled on the city wall with solemn expressions, ready to deter the giant bird with artillery fire.

With the defensive strength of the city of Burrell, the flying monsters at the peak of the third tier are very difficult enemies. If you can't fight them, don't fight them. Driving them away from the city is the best choice.

However, just as they were about to fire the cannon, they saw the giant white bird suddenly disappear, and two figures were holding hands, falling lightly from the position where the giant bird disappeared.

I ended the summoning of the divine light bird, and took Sophia to the city wall with lightness and levitation.

A general defending the city seemed to have noticed something, and quickly shouted: "Stop! Don't fire!"

Immediately afterwards, other generals and many soldiers also saw clearly the two figures flying from high above: one of them did not recognize each other, but the other was the well-known Princess Helen Sophia of Wales.

When the two were flying, the wind howled in the air. Sophia seldom had the experience of this kind of free fall. She couldn't help but think of when she jumped off the cliff, her whole body was tense.

"Eve, next time don't rush directly over, in case the defenders regard us as enemies, it will be very dangerous..."

Compared with her nervousness, I am much more relaxed when flying often.

I hugged Sophia's slender waist tightly, leaned close to her left ear and said, "It's okay, Sister Sophia, I'm just in a hurry, and this kind of conventional magic cannon, even if they bomb it together, can't hurt us."

Sophia knew that my magic power was very strong, so she hummed lightly, but the hot air in her ear was itchy, which made her even more nervous for no reason.

This tension didn't last long. After a few seconds, the two of them landed on the city wall, and I let go of Sophia's body.

The surrounding generals and a large group of guards immediately surrounded them, knelt down on one knee, raised their heads and said excitedly: "See Your Royal Highness, you are finally back!"

Sophia said: "Get up quickly, are General Kelly and Minister Moon Shadow back?"

In the army, Kelly has never called himself a prince, and emphasized that everyone only talks about military positions, even Sophia will pay attention to this.

A general replied: "Last night, General Kelly, Minister Moon Shadow, General Conor, and General Wade all returned together, but they have all rushed to Taranto now."

I felt relieved when I heard this. Fortunately, Kelly and the others came back safely, but Sophia seemed to have expected it a long time ago and was not surprised. She just murmured, "Taranto city?"

This is the most southwestern border town among the more than ten cities in Will, and it was also the city surrounded by Alexander's 15 troops before.

Sophia's face was serious: "Has Alexander's army started to attack?"

"There is no news for now, but General Kelly speculated that the opponent was about to go to war, so he hurried over as soon as he came back." The general said.

I looked at Sophia's worried side face and said, "Sister Sophia, let's go to Taranto as well."

Sophia looked at me squarely and said, "I can go, Eve, this has nothing to do with you, you just stay in the city of Burrell, no, the mainland is too chaotic now, and it's not safe here, it's better for you to go back to Apocalypse Academy as soon as possible .”

"Sister, your business is my business, how can it have nothing to do with me? I have also been to Taranto, you must remember that when we lived together in the Haven Tavern, how could Alexander destroy such a beautiful city?"

I paused for a moment, then continued with cold eyes: "Besides, Alexander and I also have grudges, personal grievances."

Sophia didn't understand why Eve had an enmity with Alexander the Great, but she knew the cruelty of war and said seriously: "Eve, no matter what, I won't allow you to go to the frontline."

I snorted and said firmly, "Sister, even if you don't let me go with you now, I will definitely go there myself."

Sophia felt helpless: "Why do you have to go there?"

"I've already said the reasons... But, even if there are no reasons, it's just that my sister is going, and I have to follow."

Sophia was silent for a moment, then sighed.

She realized that she couldn't persuade me, so she stopped trying to persuade me, and turned to look at the generals defending the city.

"How about the Seran Empire?"

As the strongest country in the eastern part of Valoran, the Seran Empire was Alexander's main attack target. To be precise, the outcome of whether small countries such as Will could hold their own did not depend on themselves, but whether the Seran Empire could block the main force of Alexander's army.

If even the Seran Empire is defeated and Alexander frees up his hand, the small countries in eastern Valoran will not be all enemies at all.

"The situation is not optimistic. In just over a week, one-third of the Seran Empire's territory has been lost. If this continues, they may not last for a month before being completely captured by Alexander."

The general said in a heavy tone, and suddenly changed the subject: "But since yesterday, things have turned around. The support from the Ministry of Magic of the Felin Empire finally came to the front line of the Seran Empire, and successfully helped to block Alexander's attack. The situation has now entered a stalemate. , maybe...they might still beat Alexander back."

Eleven years ago, the Felin Empire defeated Alexander the Great. Although the emperor was stronger this time, the Feline Empire was the strongest empire that had stood in Valoran for thousands of years. Many people, including this general, had high hopes for the Feline Empire.

Sophia also relaxed a little, looked at me and said, "Okay, Eve, I agree with you to go to Taranto with me, but you must listen to me, don't take the risk of running into the battlefield, the battlefield Impulsiveness can kill!"

I nodded earnestly and agreed. After losing my goddess status, I don't have the strength capital to enter the battlefield casually, so I must be more stable.

My most important goal this time is to protect Sophia and the others. It would be best if the war is won, but in case Taranto cannot be defended, at least use the giant bird of light to take them away together.

"Sister Sophia, it's not too late, let's go now."

I summoned the giant bird of light, took Sofia away from the city wall, and continued to move towards Taranto.

651

At the same time as the meeting, the central part of the Seran Empire, the frontline battlefield where the battle with Alexander, the supreme command conference room.

More than a dozen senior generals of the Seran Empire, several directors of the Ministry of Magic of the Felin Empire, as well as the holy swordsman Glenn, the great sage of light Daniel, the holy magister of the water system Erika Lauren, the holy magister of the Felin Empire Di Well, Cassanina, the holy magister of the Seran Empire, and a total of five fourth-orders gathered here to discuss tactics.

It can be said that this is already the strongest force that can be mobilized in eastern Valoran, but with so many people gathered together, their speech and behavior are still full of anxiety, obviously not confident enough for their own strength.

After all, a week ago, a strong demigod killed Alexander in Sprun City. Although he failed, it was confirmed that Alexander was not in the middle of Valoran, but on the Eastern Front.

Since then, although Alexander has never made a move, his own strength can only be on par with his subordinate fourth-rank chiefs. Anyone can see that as long as the emperor shows up, this side will definitely not be able to stop it.

The blue-haired girl in a sky-blue magic robe, Erika Lauren put down the map, sighed, and looked at the old man with the sword beside her.

"Senior Glenn, I heard that your hometown, the country of Will, was also attacked by Alexander's army... It's all against Alexander. Maybe you don't have to continue to guard the Seran Empire, and you can go back to help the country of Will."

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the Selan Empire froze and their faces darkened, but they didn't dare to attack the holy magister Erika, they just looked nervously at the sword saint Glenn.

In the current situation, Sword Master Glenn may not be able to defend if he stays here. After leaving, the Seran Empire will definitely be more dangerous.

Glenn glanced at the map in Erica's hand, and said in a thick voice: "Don't think too much, Erica, although I am also worried about Will Country with my old bones, I can see clearly where the victory or defeat will be."

"Even if I go back and help the Kingdom of Well defend it, once the Seran Empire is defeated, the outcome of the Kingdom of Well, including the countries in the east of the mainland, will still be the same. Therefore, we must fight the battle ahead and do our best to help the Seran Empire."

Hearing Glenn's reply, the surrounding officers breathed a sigh of relief. Only Erica sat back in her chair with a blank expression and continued to listen to the officers' tactical discussion.

Daniel noticed her indifference, and said frankly: "Miss Erica, do you think we can't defeat Alexander, so you are a bit self-defeating?"

Facing the prestigious great sage, Erika's expression softened slightly, and she said calmly:

"The Battle of Sprun City, the Selan Empire was defeated, and the Holy Magister Florence was killed; the Somme River Ambush, the Selan Empire's attack failed, and the battle damage surpassed that of the enemy; the battle of Langdon Junction City, the Selan Empire suffered a disastrous defeat , lost more than [-] troops; in the battle of the Holy Frozen End Church, the Seran Empire was defeated, and the Water God Church was razed to the ground..."

Every time she said something, the faces of the generals would turn ugly, but they couldn't refute it, because it was all true, and it all happened within a week.

"There are so many defeats, and there is no victory. Great Sage Daniel, tell me, is it meaningful for us to stay here?"

Daniel looked solemn, and smiled lightly: "At least last night, we repelled the enemy."

Erika shook her head and said, "It's just that Alexander didn't make a move. If he went off in person, we would be like mantises, and it would be very difficult for us to escape."

Next to her, Cassanina, the holy magister of the Seran Empire, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Miss Erica, what do you mean? Before you can fight Alexander, destroy your own morale and shake the morale of our army here." ?”

Erica said lightly: "I'm just stating the facts. Once Alexander makes a move, these are things that must be faced."

Cassarina burst into a rage, slapped her palm on the table, and said in a cold voice, "If you're afraid of death, go straight away, why make so many excuses, did you want Senior Glenn to use you as a shield just now!"

The surrounding officers looked at the palm prints flickering with blue arcs on the table, their faces were pale, they were helpless, and wanted to step forward to stop Cassarina.

Compared to their own Katharina, Erica is a foreign aid after all, and they were afraid that Erica would really leave in a fit of anger.

Erica glanced at Cassarina and asked, "You don't think you can beat Alexander, do you?"

Katharina's face turned pale, and she said in silence for a moment: "In any case, we have to fight to know, and we can only hope for victory if we do our best. We can't just give up."

Erica ignored her, but looked at the old man in the magic robe who was sitting in the corner, keeping his head down and silent: "Mr. Dean, is there any news from Apocalypse Academy?"

As the most powerful force recognized by Valoran, Apocalypse is undoubtedly the hope in everyone's heart. At this moment, not only the voices of several fourth-order voices paused, but the surrounding officers also stopped discussing and looked at Dean one after another.

Dean raised his head from the Ministry of Magic communicator in his hand, looked around, his face was slightly stiff, and he smiled bitterly: "I talked to Dean Xavier before, and he promised to help our Felin Empire fight against Alexander, but he didn't say The specific time. Moreover, the Apocalypse Academy is located in the central part of the mainland, even if Dean Xavier is willing to take action, I am afraid that he will go to the central battlefield first."

"No specific time..."

Erika murmured and repeated, and sighed: "I'm afraid the Seran Empire will be destroyed by the time the Apocalypse Academy comes over."

The people around them were heavy-hearted. Although they were dissatisfied with Erica's straightforwardness, this was indeed a thought they had buried in their hearts, and they just didn't want to face it.

"Apocalypse Academy, Continental Convention, hehe..."

Erica smiled lightly and said, "You guys continue to discuss, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

She stood up from her chair and walked outside the meeting room.

However, just as Erica stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the forbidden magic barrier, she suddenly noticed a wave of exquisite combination of elements.

She quickly took two steps back, and the next moment, a pitch-black crack in space emerged from the opened door, and a pitch-black door was quickly torn open on both sides.

A gray-haired old man in a moon-white robe came out of the space door. Behind him was a cute little lady with golden hair and irises of different colors, one gold and one blue.

The moment they saw the old man, everyone in the conference room stood up excitedly, as if they were waiting for a savior, they all bowed down and saluted: "I met Dean Xavier!"

Katharina looked at the old man nervously and adoringly: "Dean, you are finally here!"

Xavier nodded: "Katharina, you are right, no matter what the result is, we have to try hard, and we can't just give up."

It seems that Katharina also went to school in Tianqi before, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Dean, shouldn't you go to the central battlefield near the college first, why come directly to our Seran Empire?" gone?"

Xavier smiled and said: "Because Alexander is here, Mr. Glenn also said that the outcome of this war is not in other places, but in the Seran Empire, so I naturally come here, and the central battlefield is handed over to Alfred. A sage is good."

I even heard what Glenn said before...
