Chapter 696 Tilan Wielding the Holy Sword

At noon the next day, when light filled the room, Tilan slowly sat up from the bed.

She got up a little late today. She leaned against the head of the bed, still feeling a little lazy and not wanting to move.

She pressed her forehead lightly with her fingers, and the slight chill made her more conscious. Then she looked out the window with her light blue eyes. The trees in the yard had sprouted new buds, and it was the beautiful spring season.

I was immersed in past memories for too long last night. Mental fatigue is not as easy to recover as physical fatigue. In fact, this kind of viewing utilizes one's own time and space-related powers to reproduce the traces remaining on the crystal, which consumes a lot of energy.

After stretching on the bed, Tilan still felt a little sleepy and wanted to curl up in the quilt to continue sleeping. However, now she was the leader of the Star-Seeking Alliance, and many people were paying attention to her behavior. If she really slept until the evening, it seemed to damage her image.

Thinking that she should have lunch and then come back to rest, Tilan reluctantly threw back the quilt and got out of bed.

After washing up, she put on a decent and simple blue and white dress, fixed her hair in front of the mirror, adjusted the big blue ribbon around her waist with her fingers, and then walked out of the room.

Arriving at the office in the city and sitting in it, Tilan first quickly checked if there were any important matters recently. After annotating and replying to some key matters, he delegated the rest of the unimportant tasks to his deputies and assistants.

"Thank you for taking care of these." After saying goodbye to everyone in the office, Tilan went to the cafeteria to eat.

"Hello, Lady Heshia~" The familiar cat-tail girl came to greet Tilan. The small black tail behind her was tied with a bow, which was elegant and a little naughty.

"It's Mimi." Tilan nodded. She had been a member of the Col settlement for a long time, but later she wandered around and returned here when the insect plague broke out two years ago.

"What do you want to eat today?" Mimi asked when she saw Tilan preparing to get food.

"I see there's a lot of food backstage. I can make some for you. This isn't taking advantage of privileges, but personal friendship~" As a member of the Col settlement, Mimi understands Tilan's style and doesn't like to be treated specially.

"Then let's make something sweet and delicious." During the winter months, she, like everyone else, mostly ate bread and bacon, and very few fresh fruits and vegetables.

"No problem, please wait a moment." Then Tilan found a corner by the window at the edge of the cafeteria and sat down, waiting patiently.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window. A few birds with bright yellow feathers were chirping happily. Occasionally they flew to the windowsill and then quickly flew away.

Sitting here, Tilan could still vaguely smell the light fragrance of flowers. Her eyes swept across the tender leaves on the branches and the rough brown bark, and her mood slowly calmed down.

With her eyes slightly closed, Tilan propped up her head and took a nap with her eyes closed, enjoying this moment of quietness and not thinking about the past and the various turbulent events in the recent past.

A few minutes later, the slight sound of a porcelain plate being placed on the table made Tilan open her eyes.

"It's done, Lady Heshia."

Mimi arranged the plates, one of which contained tofu cubes as white and tender as pudding, sprinkled with chopped green bay leaves and seasonings, and a little soy sauce and vinegar. Another plate contained roasted vegetable strips, including celery, parsnips, potatoes, and a little meat slices. The staple food was fragrant and distinctly grained rice, which was a bit light, just as Tilan requested, but did not completely abandon protein intake and maintain a balanced nutrition.

"Thank you, this is exactly what I want." Tilan nodded slightly happily.

"Hehe, as long as Lady Heshia likes it." After saying that, Mimi shook her tail behind her and continued to work backstage.

After enjoying this perfect lunch, Tilan returned to her office and continued to handle government affairs until 3 pm. She finished her work, left the room, and prepared to take a walk to see what Orles was doing.

Following the vague perception in her consciousness, Tilan passed through corridors and houses and came to a corner of the city. This was the livestock farm in the city, with many fenced open spaces and tall sheds. In the past, many livestock spent the winter here. Now that spring has arrived, there are fewer animals and the place seems a bit empty and idle.

After passing through several areas where straw was piled up, Tilan heard a familiar flute sound. She then walked towards the sound and finally saw Ores sitting on a tall haystack in the spacious shed.

At this moment, she was immersed in the playing of the flute. Around the haystack below were several brown thick-haired cows and a group of calves. A few birds were also standing on the windowsill, poking their heads out to watch with a little curiosity.

This piece of music was played by Tilan before. I don't know how Ores learned it by herself. Maybe she was a little shy, so she found a place to practice. Now she has become somewhat proficient in it.

After the song ended, Orlais was still trying to figure out the technique of finger pressing. At this moment, Tilan jumped up lightly, flew onto the haystack from the side, and landed beside her.

"You play very well, Orlais." Her voice made the other party look up in surprise, and then she hugged Tilan happily.

"Tilan~" Simply calling the girl's name expresses the inner happiness.

Afterwards, the two sat on the haystack, and Tilan asked Ores why she came here.

"Cow, so cute~" Ores gave a simple and plain reason. She liked the calves here very much. There were not many people on the farm during this period, so she came here often.

Sitting next to Tilan, Orlais chirped like a happy bird, talking about her recent discoveries and many interesting little things, while Tilan sat beside her and kept nodding her head as she listened. Orlais talked until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when Tilan had fallen asleep leaning on her shoulder.

When Orlais finished telling the last thing and found Tilan sleeping beside her, her eyes showed some tenderness and happiness. She carefully placed Tilan in her arms so that she could sleep more comfortably, just like she used to sleep in Tilan's arms.

Tilan, sleeping, cute.

……

When Tilan woke up, it was already dark, and there were a few small star-like lights on the ceiling of the shed.

"Tilan, sleep well." Ores said that Tilan had just fallen asleep, and then the two of them got down from the haystack and went back to have dinner and rest.

Two days passed like this, and when Tilan felt that he could begin exploring the last mechanical cluster gathering point, urgent information came from the southern jungle.

"Although the main group is still carpet-cutting down and searching the jungle, some mechanical bodies have already passed over the jungle and are flying directly in our direction!" When the urgent telegram reached the city, someone immediately went to find Tilan with this information.

In the corridor of the government building, Tilan opened the telegram and read the report. He immediately put the residents of the city into a state of martial law and notified the nearby settlements to also enter a state of defensive alert and report any situation at any time.

The Star-Chasing Covenant currently has sufficient supplies, and each settlement and stronghold is equipped with a telegraph, which allows for timely communication and extremely fast information exchange. After learning of the situation, each settlement and stronghold took action, and soon Tilan received a distress signal from one of the settlements.

"A large number of mechanical cockroaches are attacking here, and support is urgently needed."

It seemed that action was necessary. Tilan quickly searched the map for the location of the settlement. After noting it down, he began to take off and enter combat status.

Seeing that Lololia wanted to follow, she shook her head and refused, "Lololia, just stay here." She didn't want to lose sight of the big picture.

Then the air currents in the high altitude quickly parted in front of her, and the girl's speed increased again and again, until finally she broke through the sound barrier and turned into a misty black dot, quickly shuttling through the violent air currents.

About 3 minutes later, Tilan arrived above the attacked settlement. There were many mechanical cockroaches circling around here. They hovered in the air like dragonflies, re-determining their targets and directions, and then swooped down. The foot blades on their flanks flashed with silvery cold light, and often a single impact would cut the resisters and obstacles along the way into pieces.

Looking at the mechanical cockroaches dancing in the sky, Tilan moved back and forth like a fast-moving meteor threading a needle, shattering the mechanical cockroaches one by one. In almost ten seconds, hundreds of mechanical cockroaches disintegrated and fell from the sky.

The silver sword in his hand once again cut the mechanical body in front of him, then passed by and flew to the next target. After a few seconds, the cut mechanical body disintegrated in flight, revealing a smooth incision.

……

After a few minutes, when the members who stayed behind in the settlement could no longer hear the humming of machinery and the sounds of fighting from the outside world, they carefully poked their heads out of the bunker and found that the ground was full of cut mechanical fragments. The sky was now clear and blue, and no mechanical cockroaches were seen swimming around.

They looked around and after a few seconds they spotted the girl who had landed on the top of the settlement. At that moment, she was still holding the long silver sword in her hand, wearing a spotless blue and white dress, as if she was out for a spring outing.

"Lady Heshia!" Everyone ran over gratefully and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

Although kneeling is not an option in the alliance's system, people at the scene don't care about that at the moment. They are so lucky to be alive. You know, they are prepared to sacrifice 80% of their people.

Normally, many people would die in attacks by small beast groups or looting of hostile settlements, let alone a powerful mechanical cluster passing by. In such a situation, it would be a blessing not to be killed.

"Are you all right? There are so many injured who need medical attention." The girl released the blade in her hand, causing it to dissipate like light sand, and walked towards the crowd.

"For now, everything is fine." The leader stood up and began to count.

"Several of them are seriously injured. I wonder if Princess Heshia can rescue them." They naturally hoped that their companions could be treated, but the seemingly weak girl in front of them was the de facto queen of this land. They did not dare to have too much hope, for fear of offending her by asking for too much.

"Let me take a look at the situation." Tilan walked to the safe hiding place in the settlement and saw several wounded people there.

Because they encountered the mechanical cockroaches, these people all had knife wounds. The minor ones were just cuts, while the serious ones had their limbs cut open. If they are not reconnected in time, they may have to use prosthetics in the future.

Faced with this situation, Tilan asked people to find broken limbs, and then skillfully manipulated the water flow to clean the wounds, and then began to connect the wounds and heal the broken blood vessels and nerves. With the secret method that seemed almost miraculous to outsiders, the wounded here recovered quickly, and after they woke up, they were extremely grateful to the girl in front of them.

No matter how brilliant and great the theory is, they don't care much, but they still respect and are grateful to the benefactors who saved them and prevented them from living with disability. Excellent doctors are rare creatures in this land, and because of the general indifference to life and the lack of the concept of elderly care, injuries and disabilities are basically not far from death.

"Thank you, Master Heshia."

"Long live Queen Heshia."

They were so emotional that they didn't know how to express their feelings and could only keep repeating these sentences.

Facing the grateful and awed people around her, Tilan nodded slightly. She did not humbly decline or say "you're welcome" as she had done in the past. Instead, she frankly accepted the gratitude and channeled it in the right direction.

"We must be prepared, as this battle with the mechanical cluster will last for a long time." He then asked the leading people to lead the residents here and prepare to evacuate.

After finishing the things here, Tilan jumped up from the ground again. The strong airflow poured into her ears, blowing her hair and dress rapidly. Then she went high into the sky again, raised one hand, and her slender fingers spread a light golden halo in the air, which then spread in all directions like ripples. The whole sky seemed to be flashed with golden fragments of light.

Then she turned around and flew in one direction again.

A few minutes later, she encountered another aerial array of mechanical cockroaches and blocked their way.

Facing thousands of mechanical cockroaches, Tilan chanted a chant-like spell, a silver vertical light appeared between her eyebrows, and then she raised her hands, and a dazzling silver holy sword slowly took shape in the air.

The sword's skeleton is extremely clear, precisely constructing a perfect load-bearing structure, followed by layers of magical imprints. These fine filaments, like circuit imprints, are spread all over the sword, and can use magic power extremely efficiently, converting it into various enchantment effects and abilities.

This is the crystallization of knowledge, the precipitation of civilization, and a gorgeous, durable and flawless creation.

[Inherited Secret Art: Holy Rose Sword]

Finally, a winding rose pattern formed on the surface of the blade, extending all the way to the hilt, creating a model of strength and beauty.

Judgement·Speed·Separation·Transformation·Blocking·Breaking through the air

Many high-level extraordinary protections appeared on the sword. When the fingers grasped the hilt, mercury-like light flowed through the entire sword body, and a silver curtain slowly opened in the sky.

She held the sword in both hands, slightly behind her shoulders, with the tip of the blade pointed at the mechanical cockroach that blocked out the sky in front of her. The girl's heroic figure bloomed in the air, her skirt fluttering, and a number of equally dazzling silver holy swords took shape behind her, like thousands of troops lined up in unison.

In an instant, the sword body trembled, and the silver holy swords flashed through the air like whistling lightning, piercing through and shattering the buzzing gray iron machinery.

The glittering fragments fell from the sky like a rain of light, dotting the earth in the orange evening.
