Rhode Island Park Project

Mandela found his broken staff from the car, gritted his teeth viciously, and lifted up the huge rock spikes rising from the ground like a ferocious wild cat that no one could approach.

"You bastards! How dare you let me leave the leader—"

Blood was dripping slowly from the panting Mandela's jaw. The wound on her forehead caused the blood to flow down the girl's cheek, across her entire face, and finally drip onto the ground in the wilderness.

"Earthquake spell. Set up ground pattern detection."

The rising rock spikes caused chaos in the mobile team's vehicles for a moment, but the leading vehicles had already stopped near Mandela, and the people in the cars had gotten out fully armed and conveyed their orders right in front of her.

It was as if a layer of spreading water waves spread across the ground, and suddenly conspicuous concentrated ripples appeared in several places. A moment later, rock spikes rose from the center of the concentrated ripples.

However, as expected, the well-prepared vehicles had avoided the location of the rock spikes and formed a large circle around Mandela.

"It's you guys—!"

Mandela glared at the enemy in the distance with anger on his face, his chest heaving violently.

The familiar scene made her realize who were the culprits who almost killed her and still caused her to overturn and leave the leader.

But she also realized one thing.

These were the elite soldiers under Shi Huaiya's command. The more she revealed, the more methods these people would use against her.

...We can't let them surround us.

Mandela raised his staff again.

This time she used all her strength. The ground bulged above the ground, and a ghostly shape emerged. A huge mouth opened on its head, and it rushed towards the encirclement in front of it with a silent roar.

Mandela, who was not tall, created a creature that was nearly two stories high.

"Rock Shaping. All teams, attention, armor-piercing explosive rounds. Sorcerers, restrain that thing."

"Shut your mouth aa ...

Mandela, with eyes wide open and roaring, half-knelt on the suspended rock fragments, surrounded by rapidly rotating rock fragment shields, and rushed to the front of the encirclement behind the gargoyle-like creature.

“Protection!!”

The heavily armored shield guard raised his shield and stepped forward to block the huge gargoyle. A layer of shield lit up in front of the gargoyle first.

"Bang!!!"

The most violent collision without any buffering or avoidance.

The spell shield shattered in an instant, and the shield guards that formed a shield wall became loose and messy under the impact.

But that's all.

The expected scene of the shield guard being blown away did not occur, and it was not even certain whether the other party was injured.

Mandela glanced at the mud, water, quicksand, and various restrictive spells surrounding the gargoyle's feet and body, gritted his teeth unwillingly and made a "tsk" sound, then quickly rushed towards the mobile team vehicle parked nearby.

The engine wasn't even turned off. Mandela rushed into the car and stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle roared out of its original position.

"..."

The rest of the mobile team members were dealing with the last gargoyle that had gone crazy, while the commander looked at the pink-haired Zarak girl who had just gotten out of the car.

"Ms. Lin Yuxia."

In fact, not only were they able to prevent the enemy from entering their car, but the mobile team's car was also equipped with a safety lock, which could have easily shut down the car that was being driven away.

But his action was stopped by Lin Yuxia.

Lin Yuxia just calmly placed the communicator in front of the man, and Luo Hang's calm voice came out of the communicator.

"There's no need to rush, sir. Even a wild cat can scratch a person if cornered. There's no need for us to make any more sacrifices here.

Follow her, then wear down her strength and will little by little, and finally catch her safely.

We have the depth and the personnel to finish this chase, don't we?"

"……receive."

Luo Hang continued with a satisfied voice:

"Yuxia, I'll leave this kitten to you. I hope to see her appear in front of me alive. Of course, you also need to be careful."

"I know."

……

Deep Pool Fleet.

Entering the rugged hilly and mountainous areas is undoubtedly a huge test for vehicle driving.

However, also relying on the blessing of the terrain and after several spells cast by Abrana herself, their convoy finally got rid of the pursuers behind them, and no one would know their whereabouts for the time being.

But this doesn't solve the problem.

"We need to plan a new evacuation route. Leaving from the southwest corner along this mountain road will allow us to reach this alternative concealed route while using the mountains as a cover for reconnaissance."

The school officer consulted with Abrana in the car.

"That makes sense."

Abbrana responded calmly, "But have you forgotten how we were forced to abandon our best plan?"

"..."

The officer was silent for a moment. "That kind of thing can't happen repeatedly. No one can completely guess another person's thoughts."

Abbrana stretched out her slender finger and drew a red line on the tablet.

"Go this way."

"..."

Of course, the two lines on the map do not coincide.

The route chosen by the colonel took into account both concealment and driving difficulty to ensure that they would not stay in this area for too long, and the exit was also close to their backup evacuation route.

And the route that Abbrana chose was the most difficult one.

It is difficult and dangerous to travel, and it requires a lot of time in the enemy's hinterland. The exit and evacuation route also require a big detour. The entire choice is full of extremes.

The officer glanced at Abbrana, who was sitting in the back seat with a calm expression.

"You are the leader."

You decide.

The officer turned around, and the entire convoy began to move in the direction indicated by Abrana.

But the fact was just as the colonel had expected. The mountain road was rugged and steep, and the convoy had to drive slowly and carefully. But even so, three cars rolled down the hillside on the way, and the cars and the people in the cars did not have to think about it anymore.

It took more than half an hour for the team to finally complete the two-kilometer mountain road and drive out of the mountainous area.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But it's not without good news.

"It seems our opponents didn't anticipate our route this time."

There was silence all around the exit, except for the Shenchi convoy that had just driven out of the mountains.

A faint smile played on the corners of Abbrana's lips, and her tone returned to its usual leisurely and affectionate tone.

The officer sitting in the co-pilot seat didn't say anything.

No normal person would ever imagine such a hellish place, but they had to take the risk and take a long detour to the evacuation route.

If they had followed his plan, they might not have been discovered, and they would have been rushing along the evacuation route by now.

"Boom boom——"

what sound?

The officer turned his head and looked in the direction of the distant sound, then quickly reacted and his face changed drastically.

"It's the sound of an engine!! Full speed, everyone! Now!"

"boom--!!"

The explosion swept towards the defenseless Shenchi convoy along with the convoy of motor vehicles rushing out of the hillside. The school officer sitting in the car looked at Aburana in the back seat, and Aburana also looked at him.

The carefree smile that had just appeared on the beautiful and enchanting Draco's face disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Poker face.

School officer: “…”

Abrana: "..."

Chapter 3: Abbrana, Stubborn (k)

"Go! Don't stop, don't slow down!!"

The deafening explosions and the beast-like roar of engines, the roars and wails, everything intertwined and turned into a white-hot battlefield in the blink of an eye.

The ambushed Shenchi convoy was almost cut off in the middle. The people in front walked out of the mountains, while those behind were still stuck on the hillside. There were rugged and steep mountains on both sides, leaving almost no room to hide.

Almost as soon as they met, the Shenchi team suffered heavy losses.

Abrana sat in the back seat of the SUV with a stern expression. A strange purple fire rose from the tip of Draco's tail, which seemed to be stained with the starry sky, and spread to the entire car, but nothing was ignited.

This is the flame of life, and it is also the flame that belongs to Abbrana.

She could make it burn anything, or she could make it burn only what she needed.

The purple flames that leaped out from the entire off-road vehicle swept over all nearby objects like a living thing, crossbow bullets, spells, and the mobile team that rushed too far forward... everything was swallowed up by the purple wave in an instant, without any ripples.

Light and sound, fire and heat, the crossbow bullets and spells that should have been powerful did not cause any movement. Everything that fell into the purple fire disappeared silently. In the clean area, only a few mobile team vehicles in the front were intact. Then they turned around with the roar of the engines, turned back from the front of the convoy in the deep pool, and rushed towards the mobile team.

"E3, D4, D7, F2, stop approaching! Slow down immediately! Otherwise we will shoot!!"

"boom--"

The crossbow bullets were first fired from the unresponsive vehicle, flying towards the mobile team in front. In the car that should have belonged to comrades, the soldiers wearing mobile team uniforms had strange purple fire burning in their eyes, and they controlled everything silently like ghosts.

"E3, D4, D7, F2, eliminate friendly identification! The enemy has control spells, all units pay close attention to the purple flames! Report immediately if you are contaminated by the flames, otherwise you will be treated as an enemy!"

"Officer."

Abbrana, who was still sitting in the back seat of the car with great grace, watching everything, said indifferently,

"I need an opening that will allow me to break through while stopping the pursuit. If I have to open the way forward, then this time I'm afraid only a part of the force will stay behind to cover the retreat."

"..."

The officer gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

He picked up the communicator: "Red Iron Squadron, knife formation, prepare to dismount and charge."

The officer quickly hung the communicator back in its original position, reached out of the window, pressed the roof of the car, and jumped out of the car with a nimble body, half-crouching on the top of the off-road vehicle that was howling in the wind.

He drew his sword from his waist, and four deep-pool vehicles accelerated from both wings and rushed towards the front of the colonel. Figures jumped out of the cars one after another, drew their swords, and the colonel who was half-crouching on the roof of the car disappeared in an instant.

A stormtrooper team consisting of more than a dozen swordsmen rushed towards the mobile team in front, and the speed of the charge even surpassed the roaring convoy in a short time.

"Prepare to engage the enemy—!!"

Shouts were heard among the mobile teams as melee soldiers jumped out of the speeding vehicles one after another. The battlefield, which was originally shrouded in explosions and spells, suddenly became a scene of intertwined sword lights.

The school officer led the charge in front of the team holding long swords with red marks. With the swords raised, the dazzling sword lights intersected in an instant, cutting everything around like a chessboard.

"Stop him! We can't let him break through the line!!"

The commander of the mobile team roared in shock and anger, "These are the Red Iron Guards! The Duke of Wellington even sent his own guards into the deep pool!"

The officer continued to charge through the convoy indifferently.

As the captain of the Duke of Wellington's Guards, the colonel has the strength to rival Victoria's most elite troops. Coupled with the cover of well-trained team members, even a large number of mobile team soldiers can hardly stop his edge.

At this moment, a flash of red sword light suddenly stopped the officer who was advancing like a hot knife through butter.

The officer looked at the young blue-haired dragon girl in front of him in surprise and suspicion.

"who are you?"
