Release that Witch Chapter 1105: Leaf’s heart
Two days later.
Greycastle, Neverwinter City.
"That's what situation was like at the time ..." Ash explained the fighting process in detail, "When the fire went out, Lightning searched about 100 kilometers north and found some traces left by the enemy. According to the analysis of the scene, it should be It was caused by spider demons walking through the forest. The number is not large, about three or four. "
Because the forest communication was interrupted, Roland did not know the news of the Leaf attack until the evening of the next day. In the early morning of The next day, he immediately asked Tilly and Wendy to drive The Seagull to the terminal and took the party back to Neverwinter.
Ash is okay. It looks almost harmless, but Leaf is an airplane taken off by people.
Fortunately, Sunset has planted Symbiosis Seed in her body, although Leaf has been unconscious, but from the look of the symbiote, it does not show much pain, which also means that Leaf The mental consumption is much greater than the physical damage.
Roland depresses distractions and moves his eyes to the big map on the desk.
The entire attack had a clear picture in his mind.
Devil commander did notice the difference of Hidden Forest. After all, the railway line turned a corner from here and extended all the way to Taqila. But it did not choose to attack the trenches and barbed wire of the terminal, but instead set the target on the witch.
A small team of people moved a distance of nearly 500 kilometers. From Taqila ruins to the northern end of the forest, such a long march was destined to support impossible's large troops. Presumably in addition to the arson mission, the spider demons also carried a lot of red mist tank. In a sense, this can also be regarded as a motorized battle of the enemy.
Setting fire to the forest is just a cover for attracting the attention of witch. Now I want to come, no matter whether there is an emergency strategy for the fire attack, the controller of the forest is likely to stay in place, focus on the further development of the situation, and the enemy seize This is the moment.
Probably in the eyes of Devil, it is Leaf that supports the logistics supply of First Army.
As long as the forest controller is killed, the frontline crisis can be lifted, and it is retreating.
Although there is some deviation in intention, if you can count to this step, you have explained that Devil's understanding of magic power can accurately guess the ability form of Leaf, and make a beheading attack in a targeted manner. Taking into account the required advance and retreat time, each step can be said to be intertwined. If you don't have a very deep understanding of magic power application, impossible will achieve this.
He even suspected that Devil had seen capabilities similar to Leaf.
Although it would take at least a week or more for the enemy's surprise raid to return the same way, it is not difficult to catch up with the distinctive footprint of the trailing spider demons, but that has no significance. The Magic Chopper capable of autonomous flight can leave the team and flee at any time. The chasers are less likely to be bitten when they are sent. If they are sent more, they can only kill a few spider demons and some low-level Devil.
Similarly, there are no better countermeasures for the stealth operation of this elite team of the enemy. Most important witchs are protected by God Punishment Witches, and erratic such as Leaf, Macy, Lightning. All impossible does not leak water. Fortunately, there are not many high rank Devils with such capabilities, and there will be obvious signs of magic power when running at full speed. As long as the retreat is first, the enemy is not so easy to succeed.
Another interesting thing is the conversation between Magic Chopper and Ash.
Devil ... Does it speak human?
Also as high rank Devil, the captured Kabladabi does not have this ability. Without spiritual connection through Camila, even basic communication would not be possible.
Learning is the foundation of evolution.
There are countless things that can change over hundreds of years, but you still live as you did yesterday.
It is rumored that before the first War of Divine Will was opened, someone had contacted Devil ... It was a human who passed on knowledge to them.
Ash retelling words and rumors mentioned in Pasha alternately come to mind in Roland.
For some reason, he always feels that this Magic Chopper reveals a sense of pride when referring to hundreds of years, as if it has really witnessed countless changes.
Is it possible, it is Devil from Federation era ... even earlier to this day?
So it learned human language?
But ... it's incredible.
Just as Roland was meditating, the voice of Wendy suddenly came from outside the office.
"Your Majesty," she pushed open the doorway, "Leaf woke up."
"I'll be here," Roland stood up suddenly, looking at Ash, "Do you want to go together?"
Exceed nodded.
"Yes," he stopped as he walked around, "I forgot to say it before, thank you."
It seems to be unscathed, which does not mean that you have not been harmed. You will only notice when you are close. There are several shallow scars on the face and finger joints of Ash.
The whirlwind that can blow the Leaf naturally will not be as gentle as the spring breeze blowing on the surface. Such a minor injury does not logically stay on the Exceed for more than a day, but it still does not heal.
In other words, once a mistake is made, it can be fatally severe and difficult to recover.
The intensity of this battle is obviously not as simple as she said.
Ash accepted this thanks calmly, she just lowered her eyelids slightly, looked at Roland with golden eyes, "Treat Tilly well."
"Of course, even if you don't say it" Roland pursed his lips and understood the meaning of the other party. This is a matter of its own accord, just as she rescued Leaf. Exceed, which looks like a rectum, would have such a thought, he could not help but smile, "Let's go."
...
Into the bedroom of Leaf, the house is already full of people.
Anna, Nightingale, Tilly, Scroll, Mystery Moon ... Almost all of the first batch of witch of the joining alliance gathered here. Seeing the arrival of Roland, everyone gave way.
Among the crowd, he saw Leaf who had sat up.
Her emerald green hair is a bit messy and pale, but she doesn't have much embarrassment.
Her eyes are still bright.
"Your Majesty," Leaf whispered, "It makes you worry."
"You're fine ..." Roland breathed a sigh of relief. The previous coma was caused by mental exhaustion. But he also knew that this sentence was nothing but reluctant. Leaf also suffered a "curse" similar to Lightning. The internal trauma caused by forcibly interrupting the heart state of the jungle still exists, at best, it can only be said that it will not endanger life . "Specific situation I have heard Ash said, you should take a good rest, for the time being do not need to worry about the forest. As for your injury, I will definitely think of a way"
She shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, please let me back to the front."
"Leaf!" Nightingale couldn't help coming out of the channel.
"I know what everyone thinks, but I don't help situation in bed, does it?" Leaf speaks slowly, but the tone is very clear. "Whether it is Hidden Forest or Neverwinter City, the curse Will not disappear. In this case, rest is meaningless. "
"But ..." Wendy murmured.
"And as long as I stay in the forest for a day, the communication between the two places can be maintained, experimental field will not be deserted, and the supplies needed on the front line, I can also help with the transfer. This is more or less capable of defeating the goal of Devil. A little help. Compared to the two, which one is the better choice, can it be said at a glance, isn't it? "She gasped slightly and smiled hard." Relax, this time I see something wrong, Definitely choose to retreat first. "
Everyone is speechless.
Roland take a deep breath, too ... he should have guessed. If this is not the case with Leaf, how could it be possible to walk all the way from Impassable Mountain Range to Border Town with bare feet and bring all the surviving sisters back here?
She is like a forest, with a tough heart hidden under her soft appearance.
"I see," he nodded after a moment of silence, "but you have to promise me that you can't act alone at any time until the Magic Chopper with cursing power is killed."
After speaking, he looked to Ash, "Can you take care of her during this time?"
Ash and Tilly look at each other, and then reply, "Leave it to me."
