NIKKE, when the stars bloom

"Alice, please don't be angry with your mother~"

Ludmila: “???”

Walter Qiulei: “???”

Alice: "..."

The little girl, who was still angry a second ago, suddenly turned into a frightened bunny after hearing Isabel's crazy words. She hid behind Ludmila, leaving only half of her head and a pair of big watery eyes exposed.

"Her Majesty the Queen."

"The crazy March Hare lady has come to our door!"

PS: The March Hare, a character in "Alice in Wonderland", is a rabbit that only goes crazy in March and is acquainted with the Mad Hatter who goes crazy at any time of the year.

Chapter 267 The Eve of Battle

It was five days after Isabel found Walqiulei, which was also the seventh day since Phoenix and others had rushed day and night to the Far North.

"Including the half day we fought, it was a total of seven and a half days. With the hot temper of the Fire Dragon Nihilista, it is impossible for him to still stay in the Sky Ring. The seriously injured Xiaocao may still be recovering in the Sky Ring."

In the crowded safe house No. 045, Phoenix stood in front of the three-dimensional projection sand table, looking around at the twenty-one Nikkis and Walter Qiulei, and said:

"As far as I know, there are currently four heretics who can move freely. One is Honglian's sister Normantches, and the other three are the fire dragon Nishilista, the jellyfish Liberelio, and the Cinderella Anakiole.

Assuming the worst-case scenario occurs, that is, four heretics arrive one after another, and Xiaocao leads the Leicher from the inner part of the Sky Ring and the Far North to surround us..."

Having said this, under the expectant or solemn gazes of the crowd, the lieutenant looked at Wal Qiulei in the corner, touched his chin, and spoke in a casual yet helpless tone.

"Then I will most likely be dead. At that time, all the living people will obey the orders of Commander Walqiulei. Honglian, Shirayuki, and Dorothy can act as they please."

"..."

There is no doubt that the outrageous plan proposed by someone was beyond everyone's expectations, so that the atmosphere in the room, which was not lively to begin with, became even colder.

"Hmm - what do you mean 80% sure to die? How can a commander give Nikki a tactical plan like this?"

Hearing the commander say such an unlucky thing right off the bat, how could Anis hold back her temper? She immediately gave him a classic example of a subordinate who overthrows his superior.

"We are mobilizing before the war! Mobilizing before the war!"

"Commander, even if you don't value it, please care about the morale of your subordinates!"

Anis's words could be said to represent the thoughts of most people present. Phoenix first looked at Mihara, then at Rabi, and finally at Helen, Honglian and others.

Unanimously, everyone's faces looked unhappy. Obviously, they were really dissatisfied with the commander's attitude of taking their lives too lightly.

"Ok."

Realizing that he might have accidentally angered everyone, Phoenix had no choice but to straighten his face and change his relaxed tone to say seriously:

"Then I will speak the truth, and I hope I won't hurt your self-esteem. First of all, Master, Anke, Signa, Delta, the four of you go out first..."

……

……

time,

In the blink of an eye, it was after the meeting.

Honglian, who had called Phoenix to the northern snow hill in a private capacity, was now staring silently into the distance, as if she was looking at her sister who was dozens of kilometers away.

“Why do you have to go to such lengths?”

The swordsman said this without glancing at the man beside her, as if she was subconsciously avoiding some unspeakable thoughts.

On the other hand, Phoenix was no fool either. He naturally understood that the other party was worried about his life.

After all, the main mission of this trip is to bring back his sister Qianghua. If something unexpected happens to him, the initiator, during the process, Honglian will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

So the lieutenant comforted him considerately:

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Even if you are not here, and Qianghua is not here, there are other heretics stationed in Tianhuan, and I will do this sooner or later.

It’s just a question of who comes first and who comes later.”

He said this sincerely. But it still didn't count as an answer for Honglian. She just kept asking:

“Why do you have to go to such lengths?”

"..."

As we all know, Fei never likes to discuss serious topics with others. Seeing that Jiumengzi asked again and again, and there was a tendency to ask again and again, the lieutenant immediately squinted his eyes and answered unhappily.

"Because I still want to travel around the world with you, okay?"

"!"

Phoenix was only half-truthful in what he said, but Honglian unexpectedly shook her white hair suddenly because of this sentence, turned her head, frowned and looked at the lieutenant.

"If you want to travel the world with me, I will travel the world with you.

As for the last sentence, I don't like it, so I'll just pretend you never said it."

"..."

Because I want to travel the world with you...

Because I still want to travel the world with you, okay...

"no!"

After a moment of silence, the man realized the seriousness of the problem and shook his head and said, "If you don't add the last sentence, the meaning of these two sentences will be different..."

call--

Unexpectedly, before Phoenix could finish his words, he heard a gust of wind whistling past, mercilessly irritating his newly repaired eardrum.

The next moment, a pretty and peaceful face appeared in front of the lieutenant, almost nose to nose.

"What's wrong?"

The woman stared at Phoenix's pupils, and her sinister tone almost had the word "threat" written on both sides of her mouth.

And what about men?

Faced with Honglian's naked threat, the unscrupulous man, whose desire to survive was always at the top, didn't even think twice and shook his head vigorously and resolutely.

"No difference."

"Not at all."

……

……

Two or three hundred meters away, on the other side of the snowy hill, a man and a woman were quietly performing the old drama of the overbearing president falling in love with me in public.

Meanwhile, in the safe house, Shirayuki was concentrating on modifying Honglian's favorite sword - Hanano Tohiruku.

"Is this enough blood?"

At the table, Ms. Walqiulei, who learned that her blood could remove the NIMPH restrictions and bring freedom to Nikki, was not worried about her own future safety. Instead, she asked curiously:

"By the way, why must my blood be put into Honglian's sword? Can't we use blood bullets? I heard the instructor say that there are such bullets."

"No."

When it comes to discussing weapons manufacturing, Shirayuki's mouth is easily opened.

There was no need for Huaer Qiulei to ask more questions, the foodie took the initiative to explain:

"The disarming agent bullet is more like a special alloy that fuses blood and metal. This technology was top secret in the human coalition at the time, and I don't have any relevant information in my memory.

Take a step back and say that.

I have seen the fight between Honglian and her sister. Nomantchesch is a level better than Honglian in terms of reaction speed, mobility, and fighting skills.

And Honglian...she was able to cut bullets with a knife a long time ago."

"Knife to cut bullets?"

After listening to Bai Xue's explanation, Walqiulei's worldview was once again forced to refresh.

"But you also said that Honglian couldn't beat her sister... Then wouldn't it be useless to put blood in the knife?"

"I just said that she couldn't beat him, but that doesn't mean she couldn't stab him."

As the foodie spoke, he stroked the front end of the blade with his hand, and a hint of non-malicious disdain appeared in his dull dark golden pupils.

We are all commanders, how can this little girl be so stupid? If it were Phoenix, she probably wouldn't need to explain so much...

No, that's not right. That man would never ask such a question.

……

……

"Considering that the blade structure cannot be damaged and the blade strength cannot be affected, I finally decided to add a metal capsule on both sides of the blade tip."

After completing the modification of the melee weapon, Bai Xue held the hilt with her right hand and pointed at the tip of the knife with her left hand, and said to Hong Lian and Phoenix who had just returned to the house:

"You only need to pierce the Normantchesch's body with the tip of the knife to a depth of fourteen millimeters. The metal capsule will burst due to the compression, and the blood in the capsule will flow into the opponent's body.

It doesn’t matter what position you are in, understand?”

"know."

The swordsman nodded nonchalantly, his eyes and brows were half drunken, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Don't worry, I won't be willing to die in the future."

Chapter 268: Fighting

People who practice martial arts can be roughly divided into two types:

One is the Chaos School, which does not follow any rules and believes that killing people is good martial arts. The methods include but are not limited to: Iai gun-drawing technique, secretly poisoning people, and a series of jaw-dropping operations such as dump trucks.

The other type is the sentimental school that cultivates one's character based on martial arts.

There are many rules and high morals, but the people in the faction have more or less some fatal flaws of literary youths.

——Red lotus and rose are the best examples at the moment.

Under the shining of pale golden morning light, in the snow-covered Far North, amidst the rustling snow, two pretty figures, one black and one white, became the protagonists of this boundless land.

"Have you sorted out the household chores?"

Facing Honglian's visit again, Normantches still joked in a good-natured manner, just like a gossipy sister who was sufficiently curious about her sister's love life.

However, Honglian, who no longer had the will to die, changed his previous lazy attitude and even skipped the nonsense part before the battle. In an instant, he drew his sword and slashed at the rose a hundred meters away.

The harsh sound of metal friction suddenly echoed in this vast icy land.

In just a blink of an eye, the snowfield that was originally as flat as a lake exploded with sixteen or seventeen clouds of ice crystal dust that were several stories high.

The visual effects are as shocking as the fighting scenes in fantasy movies.

"This... are they really using the mass-produced improved close combat Nikki???"

Hundreds of meters away, at a higher place.

Anis, who witnessed all this, couldn't help but mutter to herself, her face looking as ugly as if she found a half-carved cockroach corpse with teeth marks in the sandwich while eating a hamburger.

"Hmm! We are all Nikki, can't they hold back a little? We are making so much noise, it makes us look like a bunch of random soldiers! Don't you agree, Rabbi?"

Rabbi: “…”

As the ultimate trump card of the Pure Land of Bliss, Rabbi didn't know how to answer her friend's question, so she could only look at the ground helplessly, looking around and talking about something else.

"Commander, I still think you shouldn't stay here. A battle involving heretics is too dangerous. If they suddenly make you their first target, we have no way of guaranteeing your safety."

What the adjutant meant was simply that "it's still not too late to retreat now."

But Phoenix's unintentional answer made all the Nikkis fall into deep powerlessness and guilt.
