A cold slap on the face made Pace's mind a little dazed. He paused for a moment before slowly turning his head. A pair of blood-red eyes appeared in his sight.
After the sight became clear, Pace found that Perlis was looking at him with a little emotion. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she was very dissatisfied with Pace's behavior.
But Pace didn't care about that. He stood up madly and grabbed Perlis's shoulders.
"Ugh! What are you doing..."
"Little Princess!! I fell to my death!!" Pace shouted in panic, "I fell off the Star Track!! There is ground below! There are spikes on the ground!! I fell to my death!!"
Wait... Pace suddenly slapped his forehead and fell off the Star Track... Star Track...
Wait! It was Perlis who pushed herself down!
"Ah! Little Princess! You killed me!!" Pace shouted and came to his own conclusion.
"Hmm..." Perlis looked at Pace, who was frightened like a ghost, speechlessly, "Young Master, you may not be dead yet."
"Not... not dead!? That's the ground! And there are spikes! I can see it clearly!"
"Where is the ground..." Perlis gently pointed behind Pace, "Look over there."
Half believing and half doubting, Pace slowly turned his head. When he saw what was behind him, he instantly calmed down:
"This is..."
Looking ahead, a huge lake that reached the horizon appeared in front of Pess. The warm yellow light from the sky was cut into golden dots by the rippling waves, like gold powder sprinkled on white paper, shining with dots of light. At this moment, Pess was living on the grass beside the riverbank of this huge lake. Looking in the direction of the wind, there were some white huge buildings on the horizon, forming a circle, like a city wall surrounding the lake.
And above the wall of the skyline, Pace saw the trace of the [Star Track] - from here, it was not very high. The track was now empty: the Star Track had long since sailed out of La Vatino and continued to the Federation.
There really was no ground...Perlis must have seen the location of the lake before pushing herself down. Judging from the decision made at that time, jumping into the lake was indeed the perfect choice.
"The Eye of Hiplanda is located in the northernmost part of La Vatino and is the largest lake in the entire continent of Ardmir."
A slightly weak voice came from his ear. Pace looked in the direction of the sound and saw Carly leaning against a rock not far away. Her stomach was wrapped in a bandage and the wound seemed to have been almost healed.
"Miss Carly..." Pace muttered.
"You are such a worry..." Carly looked at Pace with a hint of blame, "You fainted after falling into the lake. Little White Flower brought me to the shore, but when I saw you didn't show up for a long time, I went down and fished you out myself..."
Hearing this, Pace turned to look at Perlis beside him. The latter also looked at him with a look full of blame, making Pace feel embarrassed.
"Little princess, that..."
"Young Master is so useless..." Perlis said angrily, "You are a man! And you still want a girl like me to jump into the water to save you!"
"Fortunately, my Little Brids has a drying function, otherwise if Little White Flower catches a cold, I will definitely punish you!" Carly agreed.
Hearing this, Pace lowered his head to check his body: the arm that was cut by the old guard had been properly bandaged, and his clothes were completely dry, as if he had never fallen into the water. But he could feel a little wet in his mouth, obviously because he had swallowed a lot of lake water before.
"Fortunately, you vomited all the water yourself, so you don't need artificial respiration." Perlis looked at Pace seriously and nodded, "Otherwise you would be dead."
What do you mean! I, Pace Monarch, don't deserve a resuscitation!
Pace slapped his face in frustration and sighed.
"Feel sorry..."
"But it's really dangerous..." Carly looked at the sky and sighed, "Luckily, the factor released by Little White Flower's [Factor Burst] helped Little Bird charge up, otherwise I might not be able to use that [Frozen Light]."
"Hehe, it's a tacit understanding, Carly!" Perlis smiled happily, looking a little cute and silly. "In comparison, it seems that the young master needs to work harder."
"Um... Little Princess, stop talking..." Pace covered his head in pain, "It makes me feel so guilty..."
"Okay, it's not your fault," Perlis said as she stood up and looked towards the other side of the river. "What we should consider now is how to get out of here."
As far as Perlis could see, she saw some old brick buildings. The old bricks and tiles were used to build up one house after another with potholes. These houses were pieced together and covered the entire river bank.
"The Great Cage of La Vatino, the ruins of a kingdom, a paradise for thugs..."
Looking at the old town in the distance, Perlis once again recalled the story of the [College War]. The glorious Grau Yad Kingdom was destroyed in a battle, leaving only La Watino, a city that was once used as a shelter, crumbling in the wind of the wilderness.
After the defeat at the Battle of Aston Plains, Celica Yad Pershipons, the wife of [Attack King] Rosedes Yad Pershipons, led the remaining forces of the royal government to hide in this internment zone. The reason for making such a choice is that La Wattino is surrounded by a huge [Sentinel] to protect it.
The defense project was originally built to prevent people in the containment zone from escaping, but at this moment of national destruction, it became their last line of defense.
If they simply wanted to find a gap between the sentry towers at the border of La Vatino to escape, it would definitely not be a difficult task. After the fall of the royal government, it was unlikely that the new forces would completely take over every sentry tower. As long as they found a relatively safe gap, there was no problem for Perlis to lead a group of people across the wall that was only more than ten meters high.
But the problem is that even if they pass through the wall of La Vatino, they still have to face the vast Grau Yad wasteland. They don't have the supplies to cross the wasteland. Without transportation, they will starve to death in the wasteland within a few days. Even if they have transportation, the harassment of scavengers will eventually wear out her energy, and then she will be at the mercy of others.
Therefore, there is only one choice left -
"Let's take the [Wasteland Line]."
Perlis turned her head, her blood-red eyes sparkling.
......
3) The Edge of the Big Cage (Part 2)
Carly seemed a little surprised when she heard Perlis's suggestion, but after thinking for a while, she nodded slightly.
"Indeed, the safest way to leave La Vatino is to take the [Wasteland Route]."
"But I guess it's not that simple," Perlis looked at the old town in the distance and thought, "What kind of people are the new government of La Vadino... Hmm... Actually, I don't know much about it."
"From what I know, the situation is not optimistic," Carly, the Eye of the Federation, gently waved her hand, looking helpless, "But as long as we have enough money, three tickets should be achievable."
"It's great to be rich..." Pace said with emotion, "Why does this feel much safer than taking the Star Track..."
"The group of people who control the new government are not good people," Perlis said faintly, "If I were to make an analogy... it's probably that the Inquisitor of Thebit took advantage of the situation and overthrew the Iron Lord, and then established himself as the King of Thebit..."
"Forget it, I suddenly feel a little cold..." Pace shrugged.
"Anyway, we have to move first," Carly said, supporting her body with her hands and slowly standing up. "Try not to stay here. Wilkin's guards may not have been released yet..."
Before Carly finished speaking, Perlis suddenly felt a murderous aura, and her intuition made her turn in the direction behind Carly instantly - as expected, on an old clock tower in the old city, a faint flash flashed extremely discordantly.
"...If Prince Aloi..."
"Carly!" Perlis shouted sharply, and the butterfly knife instantly turned out the blade, "Be careful!!"
"Eh?"
With the instant acceleration of the factor's potential energy, Perlis threw Carly to the ground. At the same time, a bullet whizzed in -
"Om-"
The sharp bullet instantly blew away a piece of grass where Carly had just been, and splashed into the air.
If Perlis hadn't pushed Carly away, her head would probably have been smashed into a rotten watermelon.
"Hmm!" After realizing what was happening, Carly frowned and waved her hand, "Little Birds!"
Countless points of light poured out from the container on her ring, and instantly spread out a huge network around the group of people. According to the display of the HUD on her contact lenses, Carly was slightly surprised to find that they had been surrounded by an encirclement without realizing it.
"Little white flower! Four o'clock!"
"Received, combat control." Perlis flicked her butterfly knife and flew directly towards the four o'clock direction. The enemy hiding in the bushes was surprised at first, but before he could react, Perlis was in front of him in an instant -
"bass--"
A red light flashed, and a burning scar instantly appeared on the man's chest. He fell to the ground with a scream, covering his scar and rolling around.
After the man lost his ability to fight, Perlis turned around quickly. Behind her, countless soldiers in ghillie suits had stood up. They held some strange scimitars in their hands and had war makeup on their faces to make it easier to hide in the grass.
"Young Master!" Perlis shouted at Pace, "Protect Carly!"
"Got it!" Pace immediately got up, built his factor energy axe from the ground, and then quickly ran to Carly's side, standing guard for her.
"One...two...three..." Perlis's red eyes swept over the enemies one by one, counting their numbers.
Should Perlis be surprised that he attacked right away? No, she was not surprised at all.
This is La Vadino, the great prison of a lost nation.
"Thirteen... Fourteen... Fifteen..."
Who are these people? La Vatino's government troops? Domestic thugs? Looking at their professional stealth outfits, they don't look like the above characters. If that's the case, why did they attack directly when they came up?
"Twenty-two...twenty-three." Perlis finished the count, flicked the butterfly knife lightly, and held it tightly in her hand.
We have to hold back a little...at least leave a few people who can speak, and we have to get the truth out of them.
The group of stalkers slowly approached Perlis, looking as if they were facing a great enemy, as if they knew Perlis's identity and were extremely wary. They stared at Perlis intently, afraid to miss her every move.
Even so, it was not enough—
"call--"
Perlis swung the butterfly knife, and her slender legs moved lightly, without even stirring up the dust on the ground, and she was already in front of the first stalker and slashed at his arm -
"bass--"
"Ahhhhhh!!" The stalker who was hit fell to the ground in pain, and the weapon in his hand fell out of his hand.
Without even glancing at the man who had fallen, Perlis slowly walked towards the remaining stalkers, her slender fingers constantly playing with the butterfly knife in her hand, her misty blood-red eyes staring coldly at the stalkers. Perhaps because Perlis's sudden step frightened them, the remaining stalkers did not continue to move forward, but instead stepped back slightly.
"La Vatino's thugs," Perlis said softly, a chill invading her voice, "tell me your identities, or..."
The killing intent sense lit up again, and Perlis instantly swung a knife towards her three o'clock position, hitting the bullet flying in the air -
"boom--"
"clang--"
The sniper bullet was once again deflected by the blade, causing a metallic explosion.
Ah... did they change positions... Perlis thought, according to the time interval between the sound and the arrival of the bullet, it should be closer... at most about fifty meters. If we shrink according to this distance, we will be able to accurately determine the sniper's position next time...
Under the gazes of countless stalkers, Perlis slowly raised her head. She still held the butterfly knife horizontally, and a cold light flashed in her blood-red eyes:
"How about it? You want to stop here?"
The aura of [Pure White Flames] burst out instantly, and the stalkers took several steps back with fear on their faces.
Just as everyone stepped back, a burly figure slowly walked out:
“Hahahahahaha, as expected of the Blade of Babel, so arrogant.”
The man who came out gently pushed aside his ghillie suit, revealing his sophisticated face: a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, a smart and practical crew cut, and three stripes of black battle makeup on his face.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Ryan Tyras," the burly man slowly stepped forward, looking calm and composed, "Big Daddy."
"Oh? For a thug, it's a good title." Perlis looked at the man walking towards her, her face expressionless.
"Oh, is that so?" Rein walked towards Perlis fearlessly, frowning his high brows, "Then, as the [Blade of Babel]..."
"You talk too much!"
Everything seemed to happen in an instant. Rein reached into his cloak at a speed that was almost like an afterimage, and pulled out a single-shot grenade launcher. Perlis instantly concentrated her energy and slowed down the time in front of her. Even at such a close distance, it was not a problem to cut the grenade open.
"boom--"
Fire burst out, and a grenade shot out from the barrel of the gun and flew towards Perlis. Without hesitation, she lightly swung the butterfly knife, and the blade covered with strong factor energy hit the grenade.
However, what she didn't expect was that this was not an explosive bomb.
"Bam—"
A flash of red light passed by, and a puff of smoke burst out, instantly filling half of the river bank.
"呲呲..."
Oh no! Perlis frowned, and before she could take any further action, a loud shout pierced through the smoke -
"Attack!!! (Kingdom language)"
......
3) The Edge of the Big Cage (Part 3)
The sound of rioting was accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps. After the smoke burst out, the stalkers seemed to be like fish in water and quickly began to charge towards the group.
With her vision blocked by the smoke, Perlis couldn't quickly identify the enemy's position. She could only roughly determine the location based on the footsteps, but she had no confidence at all that she could stop everyone.
If anyone slips through, with the fighting power of the two injured soldiers, Pace and Carly, they will definitely suffer...
Just as Perlis was hesitating, Carly's voice came from behind her:
"Little white flower! Close your eyes!"
