NIKKE, when the stars bloom

However, even though she knew what Phoenix was thinking, the Queen of Heretics ignored it and continued speaking according to her own thoughts.

[Give a child a gun, and the child has the possibility of killing an adult.

But a child is still a child, and when he finds that the adults standing opposite him also have guns, he will be afraid. When he finds that the enemy not only has guns but also wears high-standard bulletproof clothing, he will shrink back.

The strength brought by external factors cannot conceal the cowardly nature.

I want to know what your true nature would be if I took away your abilities that shouldn't exist.】

As soon as the Queen finished speaking,

The entire Tianhuan City was shaking, collapsing, and changing violently as if an earthquake had occurred... Then, the two underground passages where fighting was still going on were switched to the surface of the city.

Chapter 279 Don't worry, I'm blind

The sea of ​​consciousness returned to silence...

There would be no Lilyvis, no Alnick, and even less of an Indivialia who would be submissive to the queen.

While Nikki and the others were fighting, Phoenix calmly sorted out his thoughts under the protection of Helen.

First of all, let's make sure

——The fact that Tianhuan City was constantly forcing itself to advance northward was definitely the Queen's will. Judging from this, the Queen had a distance limit for invading her sea of ​​consciousness.

Combined with the clues that the consciousness map breaks through the limit and continues to expand, it is not difficult to infer that one of the conditions for Lilyvis to invade herself must be that the consciousness map can be connected to it.

But this does not prove 100% that the queen is in Tianhuan City.

With Lilivis's strength, even with the protection of Honglian, Shirayuki, Dorothy and Labi, she could still come to talk to her.

Unless for some reason she is unable to show up or take action.

Which possibility would it be?

How can the "deprivation of ability" mentioned by the Queen be achieved? ? ?

The lieutenant closed his eyes and thought, while using the consciousness map to see the battle situation between Alice and Nian.

However, just as this thought arose, the annoying noise and pain were like a trap that was triggered, catching the man off guard.

The next second, the brain's protective mechanism transcended rationality, bypassed the man's self-consciousness and forcibly stopped the idea of ​​using his supernatural powers, in order to protect himself from being tortured again.

This is what Lilyvis calls "deprivation of ability". Suppressing Anik, establishing a mechanism to punish superpowers, and...

Phoenix's left hand reached out to Helen's fair arm beside him, and then, ignoring the girl's stiff body, he followed the clues all the way down. After touching Florian, he grabbed with his five fingers and lifted the gun barrel hard.

Well, it's a bit reluctant.

It seems that the power of the prosthesis has also been adjusted to the average value of a normal male.

[Is it a forced sale? ]

After wiping off the remaining blood on his face, the lieutenant returned to his normal self, grinning unhappily and saying something half-jokingly and half-threateningly.

[Okay, the one with the bigger fist has the final say. Don’t feel wronged if you meet someone with a bigger fist next time.]

Phoenix opened his eyes and put on his night vision goggles. After confirming that everything in front of him was still pitch black and invisible, he calmly took off his helmet, accepted his current bad condition, and said:

"Helen, how's the fight going between Alice and Nian?"

"Eh?"

Hearing the commander's strange question, Helen, whose right eye was still a dark green emerald, was full of doubts, but she still answered honestly with the purpose of "obeying orders":

"The passage is moving upwards, the entrance and exit are cut off, Alice and Nien are unharmed, and the remaining eight Letchers on the field cannot pose a threat to us, Lieutenant."

"Can you see where Lavi and the others are now?"

"They are one step ahead of us." The noble girl said, looking up at the top of the board. After seeing the floating dot-shaped Rabi above her making military sign language, she quickly translated:

"They... have reached the ground... safely... awaiting instructions."

"What about you? How do you feel? How long can you last?"

"If we don't engage in high-intensity combat, I can hold out for a few more hours, Lieutenant."

After listening to Helen's story, the man nodded, and calmly gave the order amid the violent explosion of the single-barreled bullet and the excited exclamations of Nian and Alice:

"Let Isabel go to the south to investigate. I want to know what happened to Honglian and the others. Remember, I want to investigate the situation, not fight unless necessary.

Then notify Rabi and the others to check their ammunition balance and redistribute it."

After saying this, Phoenix suddenly raised his voice, and his tone was so stern, which was completely different from Helen's gentle instructions.

“Walqiulei——!!!”

"exist--!"

The young girl came trotting over in a hurry, her wrists red and swollen, and a revolver on her waist that looked like it would fall off at any time.

Because her eyes were not prosthetic, the student who was unable to share the perspective did not know that her instructor had changed in terms of his abilities. She just felt that Nien and Letcher were much faster in close combat, and often performed some incredible and difficult shooting moves, such as shooting behind him.

It does look quite handsome, but compared with Alice's "simple" shooting skills of one-on-two and one-on-three... how to put it, maybe it's a little bit fancy.

"Instructor! How can I help you?"

When Walqiulei excitedly ran to Phoenix to report, expecting the instructor to assign her a task, Alice and the other two had already cleared the remaining eight Letchers and were surrounding the commander, chattering about the source of the blood on someone's face.

"Okay, okay, it's just a normal side effect."

The lieutenant gently pushed away Alice's soft little hands that were pinching his face, and said helplessly:

"Well, Huaer Qiulei, bring me a bottle of water."

"Eh?"

……

……

Gudoo - Gudoo -

Phoenix successfully drank a 600 ml bottle of water, and the ceiling of the passage slowly unfolded during this period, exposing the bright night sky full of stars to everyone's eyes.

“报告指挥官，步枪弹药余量342、冲锋枪弹药余量553、霰弹枪余量72、携带式导弹余量8、携带式榴弹余量7、狙击枪弹药余量52、机枪弹药余量455。”

Lapi, who had been waiting on the ground for a long time, immediately explained the team's ammunition situation to the commander, and added considerately:

"The theoretical kill limit of a low-level Letcher is 560. Taking penetrating fire into account, the actual kill number is less than 300..."

Suddenly, without waiting for the adjutant to finish his words, the Nikkis, who still had heterochromia, turned their heads at the same time and cast their gazes towards the sky to the south.

In the night, Dorothy, wearing a tattered skirt and armor, no longer cared about her elegant appearance. She stumbled to the ground as fast as she could, with her pink and green eyes full of indescribable and strange expressions.

"The fire dragon is back. Isabel is trying to trick it, but she can't lure it for too long. Do you have any countermeasures? If not, I'll take you away from here first."

"A fire dragon..."

"…First, tell me about your current condition. Are you injured?"

The habit of more than 20 years of life led the man to look in the direction where Dorothy was speaking, and his unintentional actions and words were nothing short of humiliation to Dorothy.

Her pure white skirt armor had been frequently hit by lasers during the battle with Libereo, and now had become a patch of white and a patch of black, with some burnt yellow damage in the middle.

Her hair was attacked by the fire dragons and could not bear the pressure of fighting two dragons at once in a short period of time, resulting in her hair being completely destroyed and even having many burnt marks.

She was already in such a miserable state, but the man in front of her actually asked her if she was hurt? ? ?

He must have done it on purpose...

"I'm blind."

"?"

When Tao's brain stopped working and she was stunned, Phoenix, with Pina helping to explain, couldn't help but paste the battle-damaged special edition of "Doro pouting and crying" all over his mind, and couldn't help laughing:

"Don't worry, I can't see what you look like now."

Dorothy: “…”

Looking at the man's lifeless and dull eyes, Ah Tao, who had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, pursed her pink lips and wanted to apologize, but she couldn't say it, so she had to change the subject and urged:

"Lieutenant Phoenix, instead of caring about me, you should think about how we can deal with the fire dragon."

"Ah."

As if to get the matter over with, the man paused for a moment before answering:

"I'm done thinking about when Isabel will be back."

Dorothy: “???”

Chapter 280: That woman, she knocked the fire dragon to his knees...

"My energy box is empty. I can only rely on Ark Nikki and Isabel. Why do you think I can trust you to deal with the fire dragon?"

Seeing that the second lieutenant didn't seem to want to discuss the battle plan with her, the proud Ah Tao's eyebrows suddenly raised, and her pretty face covered in black and gray was full of dissatisfaction.

"Now is not the time to be brave! If I take you away, your Nikkis might still have a chance to retreat. If you insist on staying here, they can only accompany you to die meaninglessly."

"Mihara and Yuni stay, the rest of you hide nearby, Rabbi is free to move around."

Since he didn't know the exact location of the fire dragon and Isabel, Phoenix didn't plan to explain his entire plan to Tao to ensure sufficient time.

"Ms. Dorothy, I suggest you cooperate with us in the ambush. Don't scare the lizard in the sky so much that she gives up the idea of ​​landing because she sees you here."

It must be said that the lieutenant is very good at speaking when he is intentionally speaking. His two sentences not only give Tao enough face, but also reveal a piece of information to the other party.

仾——He planned to let Nihilista land on his own initiative.

Landing on your own initiative...how is this possible?

Faced with a battle plan proposed by someone, Dorothy couldn't convince herself to believe it, either emotionally or logically.

Who would give up the huge air-to-ground advantage and choose to land actively?

Are you stupid???

……

……

"Roar----!!!"

The furious dragon roar that resounded through the sky was so frightening that even the clouds could not help but tremble.

In the sky, I saw a dragon and a man chasing each other, fighting and entangled.

Of course, this statement is actually lacking in rigor. For most of the time, Isabelle was responsible for playing the role of the escaping mouse, while Nihilista was the stupid big cat.

Although the straight-line acceleration of both parties is equally matched, once it comes to sharp turns, the huge fire dragon is inevitably a little clumsy in front of the petite nympho.

What’s interesting is that when Nihilista got tired of the idea of ​​slapping the “fly” to death and wanted to turn around and leave, Isabel would always raise her shotgun and shoot her two shots from a distance without knowing the consequences.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

She, the Fire Dragon and Lord of the Sky, was harassed by a fly and was helpless. If this were seen by other heretics, where would she keep her face in the future?

So, the angry Nihilista suddenly opened her bloody mouth and sprayed the dragon's breath into the sky as if it was free, dyeing the night into a blood-red sunset.

Seeing such a large-scale indiscriminate killing method, Isabel dared not hold on any longer. She had to turn her wings upside down and put several kilometers between herself and the opponent.

But even so, the scheming and cunning woman still kept her distance from her fiancé as close as possible to that between the fire dragon and his fiancé.

What she didn't expect was that it was this seemingly unnecessary action that invisibly helped Phoenix to use military sign language to her before the fire dragon arrived.

[Command, located, above, fire, no, horizontal direction.

There is a middle, going to the bottom, one, facing the direction, one, fighting...】

The signal sent by the lieutenant was very abstract, but the nymphomaniac had a sufficient understanding of her lover. Without blinking an eye, she easily realized what Phoenix wanted to express.

“Nihilista——!”

In the low sky, I heard the woman shouting with a sullen face:
