From Xue Nai's departure to the present, the time left for Efnir to breathe has allowed Efnir to recover a small amount of strength. Of course, it is still far from her full state, but for the current Afnir For Furnier, it was enough.

Evenier's leg was injured in the previous battle. In addition, she had injuries of varying degrees all over her body. If it were placed on other people, it would be a serious injury that would make her unable to move. However, it is unbelievable that Evenier was still able to deal with the apostle and fight back.

The reason is that the strange phenomenon that Evenier discovered on her body repaired the most serious injuries in her body and stopped the bleeding. A certain degree of fighting power.

All of this is unbelievable, like a miracle, if this kind of thing hadn't happened to Evenier herself, she would never have believed it.

As for the reason for the change in his body, Evenier didn't know at all.

Strictly speaking, since the battle with the angel Qinglan a month ago, Evenier has developed a very subtle difference from other agents.

The most obvious point is: the absolutely incurable residue, a turning point of self-healing occurred in her traumatized right eyeball, and thus gave birth to a special "dust state vision", which indirectly greatly improved Evenier's combat ability on the battlefield.

And today, Evenier once again discovered that her apostleization brought her the power of "controlling and blocking", and her body also inexplicably healed the heaviest injury in an instant after being seriously injured.

No matter which point is singled out, it is an abnormal phenomenon that Evenier could not understand and imagine.

She seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck.

"Xue Nai, we are all in poor condition, so we have to fight side by side, okay?"

"Of course... I've been looking forward to this day..."

Even though she was already weak in speaking, Xue Nai's eyes were still clear, she leaned tightly on Evenier's shoulder, leaving her bloodstains on Avenier's side face.

She tightly clenched the water-colored longbow in her hand.

"Persevere, Xue Nai, I have a way for us to break through the encirclement safely."

"Well... I'm sure Naoko will be able to do it."

Efnir pursed her lips, hugged Xue Nai tightly, and at the same time drew out her pistol to quickly fight back. She rushed straight to one of the apostles. The direction she was heading was not where Saori or Aisha and the others were, but the weakest side of the apostle's encirclement net.

In the battle until just now, in order to prevent Xue Nai from escaping from the encirclement of the apostles or to build a united front with other agents, Fujisaki Ryoka's encirclement strategy focused on defense and containment, so the encirclement network built in the direction facing Aisha, Saori and others was more three-dimensional and strict, blocking Xue Nai's retreat layer by layer.

But after Avnir appeared, this most reasonable arrangement immediately became full of loopholes.

Concentrating on strengthening the defensive force means ignoring the offensive force.Compared with the direction where Aisha, Saori and the others are located, the power deployed by the apostles in other positions is much weaker. This is an opportunity in Avenier's view.

"Block her from the front!!"

Fujisaki Ryoka immediately understood Avenier's plan, and she quickly issued an order. The encirclement net of the apostles spread and squeezed, and several people surrounded Avenier in the direction of advancing at the same time, and the apostles stopped Avenier in his footsteps.

"Now is the time for a head-on collision! Xue Nai, I want you to keep an eye on those two people at all times. Your task is to contain them and look for opportunities to kill them. I will tell you when and where to shoot arrows, and cooperate with my attack just like in training. Can you do it?"

"Ah."

Xue Nai didn't have much strength to speak, her mouth was dry, and she could hardly taste the fishy sweetness in her mouth.

But her firm and tenacious willpower supported her. She forcefully squeezed the remaining power of order in her body, and the arrows condensed inch by inch.

"There is no need to use too much power of order. There will be gaps in their defense walls when they move, and there will be short gaps when they use power to fill and generate. I will find this opportunity for you, and you will be responsible for the attack."

Evenier gently pushed down the palm that was holding Xue Nai.

"Your arrows are more accurate than my guns."

This is due to the difference in the beacon itself, even a well-trained warrior cannot compare with Xue Nai's arrow in this situation.

Light clusters and explosions erupted everywhere, and Efnir swiftly passed through the middle at an incredible angle, avoiding all the obstacles without any risk. At the same time, she slid her hands away and let go of the arms around Xue Nai in the air, creating an "opportunity" for Xue Nai to open her bow in less than half a second.

The water-colored arrow light was fleeting, piercing through the gap created by the movement at an extremely tricky angle between the slowly moving barriers, and the apostle who had gathered for support was forced to stop moving. Although the arrow did not hit her, the arrow directly caused the apostle to tear a small hole in the encirclement net that had been pulled and weak in an instant.

At the same time, Efnir launched an assault in another direction.

At this time, the battle heated up again from the most intense moment. The sound of large bombardment resounded high in the sky, and the rain curtain was flying, and then it was broken by a large amount of air pressure and shock waves.

The apostles still have scruples when besieging Xue Nai. For their goal, they want to capture Xue Nai alive, but this hinders their offensive to a certain extent. They can only intercept and surround them, and let Hatsukawa Fuka as the main force of the battle press on step by step, trying to achieve their goal.

But the appearance of Evenier obviously broke this delicate balance.

The apostles, who had no worries, launched a rapid and fierce energy bombardment towards Efnir. For a while, the rain curtain was swept away, and large pieces of rubble and dust ignited in the ruins.

But such intensive bombing failed to hit Efnir even once.

……

72. Breakthrough

Efnir hovered in the attitude of an apostle. She did not leave the ground too far, and constantly took advantage of the firepower and visual barriers brought by the abandoned buildings to avoid the attacks of the apostles, and quickly walked through the dust and explosions.

The change of "dust" reflects the flow of every ray of energy in the eyes of Evenier as a virtual image of lines and dark spots, just like using a script plug-in in a video game, the flow of "dust" has completely exposed the apostle's attack before the attack is sent out.

As long as the apostle's attack can be foreseen, the efficiency of evasion can be greatly improved, and at the same time, the speed of Avenier's advancement can be increased.

She walked through the ruins as fast as lightning, and attacked one of the apostles with zigzag lines.

"Concentrate attack!! Stop them!"

The continuous fighting and the sudden emergence of Evnir almost made Ryoka Fujisaki, who had always been sure of winning, lose her composure. This was partly because her own will judgment was influenced by the inhibitor, but more, it was because of the sharply deteriorating battlefield situation.

She has seen less and less hope of winning this mission.

In her opinion, Evenier should have been completely unable to act long ago, but why did he still have dazzling fighting power?

Moreover, no matter how intensive the attacks of the apostles are, they will never be able to touch a single hair of Evenier. It is obviously enough to destroy the fierce siege of the city's border defenses, but it feels like a salute for Evenier's return. Weirdly funny.

It was a very strange state, as if Evenier possessed the power of foresight—Evenir could take the lead in responding to the attack before it came, and quickly escaped or fought back. On the contrary, almost every attack from Evenier could accurately block the apostle's way of advancing and retreating or directly pass through the dense defensive formation to injure the apostle behind.

No matter how fierce the attack is, it is still useless if it cannot hit, and no matter how weak the attack is, as long as it breaks through the defense, it will immediately become a deadly poisonous snake.

Moreover, there is more than one poisonous snake.

——Xue Nai's arrows always appeared at the most tricky angle and at the most appropriate time, tightly sealing the encircling apostles and the apostles who were targeted as surprise targets.

When fighting side by side with Avnir, Xue Nai's depleted combat power suddenly received a huge improvement that could not be ignored. She changed from a little rabbit who was forced to flee alone and panicked to a giant python waiting for a hunting opportunity.

At this time, Evenier had already quickly approached the weakest point of the defense line - under the deliberate restraint of Avenier and Xue Nai, the apostles from the other two directions did not catch up in time to support, only one An apostle confronts Evenier and Xue Nai.

"Don't even think about breaking through here!!"

She roared and rose with a huge light curtain. The sudden burst of energy almost squeezed her arms, but the fight only happened in an instant—the energy attack almost flew out against Evenier's face, curling her hair. , the next moment, the apostle stared blankly at the oncoming fist.

There was a bang, smoke and dust rose from the ruins on the ground, and Efnir jumped down from mid-air, leaving behind her a bright trail of galaxy light.

The apostle girl fell into the middle of the ruins, her life and death unknown.

Fujisaki Ryoka opened her eyes wide and stared blankly.

This time, she finally saw clearly how Evenier broke through the power they were proud of—it was not a "breakthrough" at all, she could see clearly that Avenier didn't attack at all, but just lightly touched the energy barrier.

Just touch it.

The energy defense barrier, which was stronger than the concrete fortification building, disintegrated and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed, and the apostle, when he was hit by Avnir, immediately lost all his strength, and his combat weapons disintegrated and disappeared.

Just through the simplest touch, can annihilate the energy matter transformed by the power of the apostle, and disarm the combat arm?

This is Evenier's "power"?

In this way, it makes sense for the absolute strength of Evenier outside the city and the inconceivable performance of killing Fuka Hatsukawa in one blow - the apostle will be deprived immediately Weapons and armor, there is no chance of winning at all.

The most powerful power of an apostle is the control of energy materialization and the increase in physical strength brought about by apostleization, but Evenier can completely destroy and annihilate these two powers. It can be said that facing Evenier Such an opponent, they have already lost before they even started fighting.

"So... so... so... is it so..."

The more Fujisaki Ryoka doubted, the more she felt that all these things made sense.

"This strategic 'weapon' is hidden so deep that there is no mention of it in the information... Is it because it is not used to deal with erosive bodies?"

Sorrow and anger welled up in her heart. Before the battle, Fujisaki Ryoka never thought that she would be defeated in such an embarrassing and humiliating way.

But she had to make a choice.

Evenier and Xue Nai easily broke through the big net laid by the apostles, and the latter were their companions who were fighting other agents on the outer layer.

At this time, Aisha, Saori and the others launched a fierce attack in one breath, firmly restraining all the apostles, preventing the apostles from turning back and besieging Avenir and Xue Nai.

The tide is gone.

When Efnir appeared, this battle was doomed to failure.

No matter how unwilling to admit it or face it, Fuka Fujisaki can only accept this fact.

"Stop chasing!"

Staring at the back of Avenier's departure, the agents and soldiers attacked fiercely to cover Avenier, Fujisaki Fuka gritted her teeth hard, burning with unwilling anger, her eyes almost ooze blood.

Slowly and with difficulty, she raised her hand and gave orders to the other apostles.

"Prolonging our front will be bad for us, the pursuers will withdraw, we are going to leave here!!"

She lowered her volume.

"This time the battle has failed..."

But they must guarantee their chances of a comeback.

But at this moment, the ear-piercing air explosion suddenly resounded across the sky, and the next moment, a loud explosion swept across the entire former Sakagawa garrison. Fujisaki Ryoka looked up in amazement, and saw gunpowder smoke slowly rising somewhere at the end of the street.

This is... a missile attack!

The troops outside Sakai did not carry weapons of this size at all, so this time, the water support from Suzuta City probably arrived.

Is there any way to escape now?

……

73. Anti-encirclement

The battle between the apostles and the proxies and soldiers is divided into two main battle lines.

One of them is the encirclement net for Evnir and Xue Nai, and the other is the interception net for Aisha, Saori and the soldiers on the train.

Efnir just escaped from the encirclement net, but he was not completely out of danger-there were interceptions from the interception net on the periphery.

But Fujisaki Ryoka knows that if Evenier can easily penetrate the encirclement net, then it will be easier to escape from the pursuit of the interception net, because Aisha, Saori and others will create this opportunity for Evenier.

The apostles' outer interception network can hold back the support of Aisha, Saori and others, and conversely, Aisha, Saori and others can also use this to restrict the actions of the apostles.

Now the apostles have lost their last chance of victory.

Aisha and the others immediately launched a fierce counterattack and suppression after confirming that Avenier had successfully broken through the siege. The apostle's battle line was retreating steadily.

Under the all-out pursuit of the agent, the apostles, who had already been shaken by the defeat in the battle, suffered another casualty.

"withdraw……"

Fujisaki Ryoka almost gritted her teeth, fixedly staring at Evenier's sight from afar with extremely unwilling eyes, and then said these words with difficulty.

The gazes of her and Evenier met in the air.

Efnir was panting slightly, her purple eyes were cloudy but bright, and she was indifferent to the embarrassment, as if the result was inevitable, neither the joy that appeared after being saved nor the fear or fear of what happened in this battle I'm glad.

What Fujisaki Ryoka saw in Avenier's eyes was the "expectedness" of all this and the "plainness" honed in countless battles.

There are even some inexplicable meanings, as if the eyes of some kind of dangerous predator when aiming at the prey made Fujisaki Ryoka feel a chill down his spine for a moment.

"Captain! We...we haven't lost yet!"

The apostles under him have also been greatly shaken by the current situation. They are unable to make a judgment. One side is anger and hatred, and the other side is the dilemma of being forced to give up everything.

"I am willing to continue fighting! Captain! I must make them pay the price!! The murderer who killed Yuko must pay in blood!"

"That's right! Captain! We can't just retreat like this!"

"If you go back like this, Captain, you will..."

"Enough, don't say any more..."

Fujisaki Ryoka pursed her lips and looked away.

It had been a long, long time since she had experienced such a creepy delusion.Taking a deep breath, she raised her gaze again and stared at the two people in front of her eyes: "In any case, it's too late to say anything now. It has become an established fact that Evnir escaped from our hands. With the help of other agents, she will soon return to a safe place completely, and we will inevitably face the most violent artillery fire from the Xijing City troops—they have been waiting for a long time."

Due to the fact that Evenier and Xue Nai were still behind the battle line of the apostles, the train troop had not used large-scale bombing strikes since entering the battle, this was to avoid accidental injury.

And once Evenier and Xue Nai successfully escaped, the other party would unscrupulously launch a large-scale coverage attack.

Things will be even more difficult for the apostles then.

"It's a fact that we can't keep Evenier. Let her be our last resort and retreat from here as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Xijing City launches a counterattack, our entire army will be wiped out."
