Surprised me into a goddess of light

After hearing such a heavy news before the meal, the delicious white rice tasteless immediately, and even the two big chicken legs specially added by Auntie Dacai were not tasty.

While chewing slowly, I meditated.

The frontal battle was fought so badly, I don't know if Xavier has received my letter;

Even if he receives it, I don't know if he will use the 'weakness' I gave and threaten Alexander;

Even if he threatened, I don't know if Alexander really valued the two children so much.

As long as one of the three links is not satisfied, Alexander's aggression cannot be stopped, and the probability of winning the war relying on Xavier is too low.

I sighed silently, quickly finished the food, returned to the room, sat on the bed and meditated seriously, wanting to break through as soon as possible and become a third-order magister.

The strange thing is that I haven't seen Sophia during this time, and I don't know where she went.

The calm lasted until night. When the food in the military camp was fragrant, I opened my eyes on time and went out to eat.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Xuelu shook again.

I sensed the mental frequency, and was surprised to connect again.

"Xiao Ye, why are you free to call me?"

Xuelu heard the familiar cold voice of Shizayoi, and said straight to the point: "Eve, Alexander has retired."

"What? Retire?"

"Yes, this afternoon, when the capital of the Kingdom of Purdue was about to be captured, Alexander's army seemed to have received some news. They suddenly chose to retreat, and retreated hundreds of kilometers in one breath. Now they have basically withdrawn from the Kingdom of Purdue. borders of the country.”

"In addition, in central Valoran, the Alexander army faced by various countries seems to have withdrawn..."

I was shocked for a second. If you say that you stop the siege and withdraw the army from a city, you can still use military formation scheduling and tactical operations to understand it. But facing a country that is already about to conquer, handing over all the land is obviously giving up the occupation Performance.

Did Xavier really use that method...and, Alexander chose to cease fighting and surrender?

No wonder no army came to attack Taranto today.

The haze in my heart disappeared immediately, and I was relaxed and quite happy.

Sure enough, that letter was the most important.

The significance of defending the city of Taranto is far less than a battle between Xavier and Alexander, or letting Xavier capture two 'weak' hostages.

The outcome was determined by the Seran Empire last night.

Now it appears that Xavier has his hands on it.

671

In the evening when the surrender was received, some gossip suddenly came out of the military camp, saying that it was a frontal battlefield. The Seran Empire finally defeated Alexander's army. Alexander was seriously injured and was about to withdraw his troops back to the country.

I don't know where these news came from. At first it was just a rumor. The soldiers snorted it after hearing it, but for some reason it spread more and more widely. In addition, Kelly and other generals have never come forward to clarify. The three became tigers, and the credibility is getting higher and higher. So much so that the entire military camp and even the civilians in the city began to spread.

When people were imagining victory, various versions of the reasons came one after another. Among them, the most widely circulated one was the number one powerhouse in the world. Fabras Xavier couldn't understand the Emperor's ambition, so he left school angrily and shot the Emperor with one move. Threatening the life of the great emperor forced the Alexander Empire to abandon the Northern Expedition and return home.

Although the content is a bit mysterious, given Xavier's strength and prestige on the mainland, this version has been widely recognized by soldiers and civilians. Some (storytellers) even described the battle process of the two sides vividly and thrillingly as if they were on the scene. .

Of course, this adventure is only for 'Alexander'. After all, he was defeated by Xavier in the story and almost died.

A few people still doubt the authenticity of the news, and the bards have begun to compose hymns of praise to Xavier.

At this time, the definite news of the Seran Empire was sent to the high-level of Will along with a declaration of victory.

In the middle of the night, Kelly and the generals appeared on the walls of Taranto.

Under the city wall, soldiers and people who had already heard the news gathered in a crowd, and heard Kelly read out the declaration of victory:

This afternoon, the Seran Empire officially announced that after more than three months of anti-Alexander war, it finally won a complete victory. Sprun City was officially handed over and signed an armistice agreement...

After receiving the official confirmation, deafening cheers erupted in the city, and the crowd hugged each other excitedly.

I stood at the corner of the city wall with a quite calm expression. After all, I had guessed the result of the victory before, but Sophia next to me was still a little dazed, as if she hadn't reacted.

Kelly's voice continued: "Here, the Seran Empire represents the Anti-Alexander Alliance, and I sincerely thank Dean Xavier and the Apocalypse Academy for their contribution to the peace of the continent..."

The exciting declaration of victory was not long, and soon after reading it, Kelly and others left the city wall to discuss the follow-up matters of the victory of the war.

Some people found that the declaration did not mention the specific reasons for Alexander's defeat, but at this moment, not many people pursued it seriously, and they were all immersed in the joy of victory. It's just that the praise poems for Xavier in the streets and alleys became more vigorous. spring up like mushrooms.

Sophia stared blankly at the cheering crowd under the city wall, and murmured, "Victory...is the war over?"

"Yeah, the war is over, we can relax a little bit."

I smiled slightly, and naturally took Sophia's slender and soft left hand, and stroked it gently.

Today, I am not what I used to be. Holding hands with girls has long been a daily routine, and I am not as reserved as I was back then.

While holding her hand, I pretended to look at the beholder machine: "It's getting late, sister, let's go back to the room and rest."

"Wait, Eve, I have to go to my brother to ask about the details of the Seran Empire's intelligence..."

Sophia frowned slightly, and her expression gradually became serious: "Alexander's sudden truce is too strange. Maybe he lowered our vigilance and will continue to fight!"

I blinked my eyes, thinking that as long as Xavier catches the 1.5 weaknesses of Rubis and Venasa, it is impossible for Alexander to retreat. After all, space magic is very convenient to catch people, but what Sophia said is also reasonable...

"Okay, I also want to know some specific information, let's find Kelly together!"

Sophia and I went to the barracks together, and saw that the main tent was brightly lit, and Kelly and others were having a meeting.

The two didn't interrupt rashly, but quietly walked outside the tent, waiting and listening.

The mentality of the generals was similar to that of Sophia, they were all discussing the possibility of Alexander's comeback, and felt that it was a little exaggerated for the Seran Empire to announce the victory so early.However, it is also understandable that the Seran Empire urgently needs to encourage the hearts of the civilians in the army. After all, they have been losing battles and are about to be beaten to the capital to destroy the country.

After discussing for a period of time, the generals all expressed their intention to go to the Seran Empire to see Alexander sign the surrender agreement three days later, but Kelly rejected it on the grounds that Will needed defense.

In Kelly's opinion, during the surrender ceremony, many countries will definitely send important figures there. If this is a conspiracy by Alexander to surrender falsely, or if something happened to the Seran Empire itself, the risk must be very high.

Other countries can't control it, but if most of Kelly and the generals are killed or injured, no, as long as a small part of them are killed or injured, Will will be hurt.

In the end, Kelly only agreed to the accompanying request of two generals, Conor and Vader in his direct line.

After the discussion, when Kelly walked out of the main tent, Sophia followed immediately: "Brother, I want to go to the Seran Empire together!"

"No."

Kelly refused without thinking, glanced at me, and said: "Sophia, I know you and Eve have been outside just now, and you have heard the discussion, and now it is not sure whether Alexander really surrendered, Seran The empire looks calm on the surface, but no one can guarantee safety, and I absolutely disagree with your past."

"If you can't go if it's not safe, why can General Conor and General Vader go? I am already very strong and can protect myself!" Sophia said seriously.

Kelly said: "It's not a question of whether you are strong or not. There are a group of Tier [-] powerhouses in the Seran Empire. No matter how much your strength has improved during this period, you have no resistance in front of them..."

Sophia wanted to refute, but I suddenly reached out and covered her mouth.

"Okay, we got it! Senior Kelly, it's not early today, go back and wash up and sleep, I will also persuade Sister Sophia when I go back..."

I covered Sophia's mouth with one hand, hugged her waist with the other, and dragged her away forcibly.

I have to say that the strength of the third-tier swordsman is really strong, Sophia didn't resist much, I almost couldn't move her with all my strength...

Kelly looked at the backs of the two leaving, with worried eyes, and sighed silently.

On the other side, Sophia pushed my hand away and said dissatisfiedly, "Eve, why did you stop me just now?"

I said: "Kelly will definitely not let you go, why should you tell him more, can I use the giant bird of light to take you there?"

"You mean to hide it from brother? That's not good..." Sophia hesitated instead.

"There's nothing wrong with it, the bird ride is as comfortable as a horse-drawn carriage, and much faster..."

Sophia had long been determined to go to the Seran Empire. It didn't take much effort for me to persuade her to go with me.

672

Depart late at night and return to the room.

Single room with double bed.

Unfortunately, the plan to wait for Sophia to fall asleep fell through again.

This time she didn't go to bed at all, she just sat on a chair and circulated her battle qi for a whole night.

In the past few days, Sophia's desire to practice has been high, and she is full of energy in practice. This is not the first time that she has stayed up all night. To be precise, she has not had a normal rest at night since returning from the Helen Mountains.

What's even more outrageous is her speed of practice. Although practicing hard can improve her strength faster, her speed of improvement is so fast that I can hardly understand... Not only is she faster than me in fighting qi, she is even faster than me. The magic progress rate of the six series of perfect physique is even faster.

The environment has a great impact on a person, just like the dormitory of top students/bad students often has a lot of top students/bad students together. Seeing Sophia working so hard, my mood to sleep suddenly disappeared. After taking a shower, I also accompanied Watching her stay up all night, sitting on the bed, meditating on the magic power seriously.

A quiet night passed.

At dawn, the morning sun shines into the room from the window, bringing some new light to the house where the lights are turned on.

I was immersed in the rapid improvement of the magic power in my body, and continued to practice without caring about the time.

When the sky was getting brighter and dinner was being served in the barracks, a strong wave of battle energy suddenly rose in the room.

Is Sofia going to break through again?

My mind was shocked, and I opened my eyes, but was startled by Sophia!

She didn't know when she stopped practicing, she didn't sit on a chair, she stood in front of me, bent over, her face was close to each other, the distance between the tip of their noses was only one centimeter, and she stared straight at me with a strange... eyes full of desire staring at me.

In the next moment, this look disappeared instantly, without any trace.

Sophia straightened up, only the usual gentle and familiar smile remained on her beautiful face, as if the strange eyes before were just an illusion.

"Sister, when did you walk up to me without saying a word, it's quite scary..."

I collected myself, panted slightly and patted my chest, feeling that my heart rate had doubled just now.

Sophia showed apology on her face: "I'm sorry, Eve, I saw that you practiced so seriously, so I walked over quietly, but I didn't expect to scare you... Besides, you are probably about to break through."

"Me? Breakthrough?"

It was only then that I noticed that the fighting energy fluctuations just now did not come from Sophia, but from me... Around me, a light blue halo of fighting energy has already overflowed.

Because I was concentrating on meditation, I even forgot that I was also running the 'Duqi Lake'...

Thinking about it carefully, Sophia has just been promoted to the middle rank of the third rank, and it is impossible to continue to break through so quickly, otherwise, it is not difficult to understand, but definitely embarked on an evil path of madness.

I immediately discarded distracting thoughts, stopped guiding the magic power, let my body meditate naturally, and turned to concentrate on guiding the battle energy in my body.

Wisps of battle qi circulated in the body, turned into raindrops, and poured into the lake of battle qi in the lower abdomen.

The 'rain' gradually became urgent, and gradually became a torrential rain.

Amidst the crackling sound, the lake rippled violently, expanding rapidly in size, and the light blue light around me also deepened and turned dark blue.

Until the lake expanded about three times, the fighting energy in it seemed to have reached the limit of its capacity, and finally stopped growing, and the rainstorm gradually ended.

This breakthrough went very smoothly, and within about 2 minutes, I clearly felt that the battle energy in my body had reached the second-order median level.

"Success."

I opened my eyes happily, and stood up cross-legged, only to feel that my body became lighter and my muscle strength quietly soared a lot... although there seemed to be no muscles.

Sophia looked at me with a smile: "Eve, congratulations on your progress, it happens that we should have breakfast too, pack up and go to the cafeteria together."

"it is good!"

I stretched out, my bones cracked slightly, I didn't feel the stiffness and fatigue of sitting for a long night, I put on my shoes and went to wash up flexibly.

The two finished breakfast together and happened to meet Kelly and set off.

Taranto City is not far from Sprun City of the Seran Empire, but it is not close either. It takes about a day for the third-tier powerhouses to travel. Kelly and others must not leave on the last day, but to go there in advance to inquire about information and understand situation.

I watched Kelly and the two generals get on their horses and gallop out of the city. I turned to Sophia and said, "Sister, Kelly has already left. When are we going to leave?"

Sophia pondered for a while: "Eve, we will fly over with the giant divine light bird and we will arrive soon. Do you have anything that can hide your identity? Let's deal with it first to avoid being discovered by my brother at that time."

"Spurrun City is so big, as long as Kelly doesn't follow closely, he won't be able to find out, and what if he finds out? He's gone, he can't tie us back..."

I said indifferently, but I still agreed to Sophia's request to hide my identity, and returned to the room with her, and took out the dyeing potion and Hanazawa potion.

"The functions of these two medicines are to adjust the skin tone and mask the smell respectively. This one is used for painting, and the other one can be drunk directly."

The two dealt with it roughly, then changed into two sets of gray robes common in the mainland, put on hats and masks, checked each other, and walked out of the room.

Facing him, there was a female mage standing still and waiting.

Moon Shadow looked at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Your Highness Sophia, Miss Eve, you look like you are going to travel far...Are you going to Sprun City?"

Sophia seemed to remember something, and said with a vigilant look: "I just said why did Brother Kelly leave so simply, he asked you to wait for us here in advance, right?"

"Yes, General Kelly asked me to keep an eye on you and monitor you for two days, resolutely not letting you pass. Unless you can defeat me and several top magisters under my command, you will definitely not be able to leave."

Moon Shadow clapped her hands, and immediately seven powerful third-tier magisters came out from the corner of the camp and stood behind her.

I frowned slightly. What Kelly meant was to forcibly ground the two of them. Could it be that Sophia and I are going to fight with these allies?
