Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

But the attack did not work. Apart from some sparks blown up by the cyclone, the opponent's shell did not even tremble.

This type of monster has no obvious weaknesses, and its only fear is the element that counteracts it.

In other words, if it was Guard Officer Jeppard who was here, the situation might be much better, but with just her, there was no possibility of victory.

Of course, there is another option...

She looked at her comrades who were trying to stand up and cover her attack.

The monsters in the Rift are not very intelligent and will only instinctively attack any enemy that enters their "field of vision".

As long as someone is willing to sacrifice and attract attention to the main force, there is no need to worry about being unable to evacuate.

Doing so can not only minimize the casualties, but also enable them to reunite with the Jeppard Garrison Commander, and then there will be more options whether to return to occupy the area or make new tactical plans.

In this way, the sacrifices made before will be worthwhile.

This is also what her mother has always taught her: the foresight that a ruler should have.

When faced with a choice, one should choose the option that is most beneficial to the situation without any personal feelings. Only in this way can most people survive.

Those Iron Guards would not disobey her orders. As long as she said that someone needed to stay behind to cover the tactical evacuation, they would not hesitate at all.

That's right, she just had to tell them to sacrifice themselves so that more people could survive.

This is also the tragic drama that has been repeated for Beloberg.

Not only will no one blame her, but they will also praise her for making the right choice afterwards.

As for the sacrifices, their deeds will be recorded on stone tablets and remembered and praised.

...So, just give the order. It's not your first time attending a comrade's funeral, is it?

It seemed like there was a witch's whispering in her ears, trying to confuse Bronya's mind.

However, these thoughts were all extinguished by Bronya the next moment.

She calmed down, her eyes showing a desperate ruthlessness. Her original defensive counterattack suddenly turned into a fierce offensive, catching the Flame of the Outer Universe off guard.

"Everyone, time is running out. Please lend me a hand!"

Her reckless use of ammunition allowed her to quickly escape the oppressive situation. The power of her shared destiny also invigorated the Silvermane Iron Guards beside her, increasing the power of their weapons.

"learn!"

Feeling that they had enough strength, the Silver Mane Iron Guards quickly surrounded the Flame of Outer Universe, and fiercely stabbed the opponent's weak connection after being hit by the Wind-Wrapped Bullet with the long spears in their hands, stirring up large sparks.

As the target of attack, the Flame of the Outer Universe was also in a passive position at this time. Once it wanted to attack someone, it would be blocked in time by the rushing Silver Mane Iron Guard Officer.

Even with just a few rounds, it was enough to turn the opponent into ashes, but the little bugs in the distance always interrupted it in time.

The attack that failed to successfully accumulate power lacked a decisive burst, so it was surrounded by many ants and had to wrap its arms around them and keep defending itself.

Although these rift monsters do lack sufficiently high intelligence, they have almost instinctive combat instincts.

After realizing it was under siege, it stopped attacking blindly and instead curled up its arms and legs, as if embracing its core, and rings of fire ignited in an instant.

The already sultry air also heated up at this moment, and even the air near it began to appear distorted.

"No! Get back away! It's about to explode!"

The battle-experienced Silvermane Lieutenant Dunn shouted hurriedly and quickly stood in front of the stunned Bronya.

"Lieutenant Dunn?!"

The battlefield was ever-changing. In just a moment of hesitation, several Silver Mane Iron Guards who were already at an extremely dangerous distance had no time to react and were swept across by the fully charged fire ring.

Their bodies were ignited in the next second, turning into human-shaped fireballs, and the raging flames illuminated the surroundings in an orange-red color.

The soldiers howled in pain, but before they could even roll on the ground and struggle, the suddenly rising flames completely turned them into ashes, leaving only charred marks on the ground.

Lieutenant Officer Dunn, who witnessed this scene, was almost furious. He threw the halberd in his hand violently. The flame from the outer universe that was hit by it staggered at this moment, and the ring of fire stopped spreading.

Bronya was filled with grief, gritted her teeth, and fired the bullets in her hand one after another, but they were all blocked by the flames from the outer universe that had reacted.

Someone's whispers sounded in my mind again.

It was her wrong judgment of the fighter plane that led to the death of her comrades.

If they had made the sacrifice earlier, several Iron Guards would not have died and would have been able to return home and reunite with their families.

"Lady Bronya, the situation is too critical. We must retreat immediately!"

Dunn spoke up immediately after noticing that the other party was not in the right state.

"...But if we retreat now, all our gains tonight will be lost, and the sacrifices of our comrades will also..."

Bronya's tone was bitter at this moment, and her heart was confused and sad. During the battle so far, many shortcomings in her prior preparations had been exposed.

Moreover, since there has been no sign of reinforcements arriving until now, it is not difficult to guess that Garrison Commander Jeppard is probably also being held up.

In that case, if she led the Iron Guards to evacuate directly, it would put the garrison officer Jeppard who was defending the front line on the other side under greater pressure and casualties.

"Please remain calm. Garrison Commander Jeppard is very close to us. If we can reunite and counterattack in time, we can retake this street in an hour at most. Only then will the sacrifices of our brothers be worthwhile!"

Dunn was extremely anxious. While trying to persuade the other party, he once again blocked the fireball spewing from the outer universe. The handle of his shield was already extremely hot, and blisters were probably forming on his palm under the gauntlet.

But despite this, he still did not abandon his shield, but continued to stand firmly in front of the opponent.

The girl behind him represents the undefeated spirit of the Silvermane Guards. If she were to die here, the blow to the rear would be unimaginable.

Not to mention the current Great Guardian who will definitely be furious about this, even he himself will not forgive himself.

In comparison, temporarily losing a tactical objective is of no consequence.

Therefore, while trying his best to persuade them to evacuate, he also looked at his comrades who were fighting together, and at the same time he received this signal.

Almost at the moment of delay, they rushed forward silently, circling around the Flame of the Outer Universe as if it were a futile effort, tempting it to store its core again.

Only in this way can the rear be evacuated safely...

No matter how sad Bronya was, she was protected by Lieutenant Dunn and retreated to the rear.

On the battlefield that was gradually receding, she caught a glimpse of another erupting ring of fire that was about to engulf the soldiers she trusted, and her heart seemed to be burning with flames.

However, in a second, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground.

Chapter 16 The wind is blowing~

The eye of the storm, centered on the flames of the outer universe, instantly swept the surrounding Silver Mane Iron Guards high into the sky, and the ring of fire swept below them, burning everything that stood in their way.

Just a second away from being buried in that sea of ​​fire, it made people feel dazed and unbelievable for a moment.

It was not until they smelled the burning rubber from their combat boots that they woke up and realized that this was not a hallucination before death, but an undoubted reality.

"Did Lady Bronya save our lives?"

This thought arose in the minds of the Iron Guards almost at the same time.

However, some people also saw Bronya being led away by Lieutenant Dunn, with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Isn't it Lady Bronya's power?"

The young Iron Guard murmured subconsciously.

But immediately afterwards, a playful laugh seemed to be heard in their ears, which made people feel favorable but also made them feel a chill in their hearts.

"Next, we're getting ready to land. Don't twist your ankle!"

The voice gently reminded them and made the Iron Guards prepare to land.

The wind wrapped around their bodies lifted them down, leaving their backs only when they reached the right height and wrapping around the Iron Guards' feet, preventing them from becoming sitting ducks as their melted soles would stick to the ground.

The veterans were amazed by this extremely subtle control. More importantly, this power turned into a blessing that allowed them to move faster.

The fireballs that were difficult to dodge in the past were now as slow and light as balloons played by children.

Some Iron Guards even instinctively made defensive moves after dodging.

Who is it?

Being able to convey one's voice accurately on such a battlefield, and even protect them from being burned by the ring of fire and bestow blessings?

But no matter which one it was, the surviving Iron Guards were surprised.

However, perhaps sensing that the enemy had suddenly become more annoying, the Flame of the Outer Universe quickly ignited its core.

At the same time, materialized elemental crystals continued to emerge in the area that had been swept by the fire ring many times, and they quickly combined into one bird-like crystal creature after another.

"Oh no, it's going to start summoning its companions!"

An old soldier hurriedly spoke up to remind the other party, hoping to provide some insignificant help.

This move was the main reason why the Silver Mane Guards suffered heavy casualties every time they attacked it in the past.

Since the Flame of the Outer Universe is the core of the Flame Domain, as long as it is within the Rift, it can continuously mobilize crystal elements.

Whether these powers are used as its own "fuel" or to summon "companions", for it, it is as easy as breathing.

In just a moment, the streets that originally seemed spacious and wide were instantly crowded with Yanhua creations.

They continue to fly high into the sky, like flocks of birds, and the high heat they emit constantly transforms the surrounding environment into an area more suitable for their birth.

No matter how you kill them here, after just a few breaths, the Yanhua creatures will be born again, and they will use the energy that escaped when they died as a "beacon" to continuously attract the surrounding elements to gather.

Therefore, once the Yanhua field is formed, they will only kill more and more, until they are overwhelming, like dark clouds covering the sun.

No matter how good the Iron Guards are at fighting, they will often be dragged to death by the monsters. To a large extent, the high casualty ratio is not without reason.

In order to solve such a problem, we must implement a decapitation strategy.

However, judging from what happened just now, the person who was hiding behind the scenes and helping them might be a "harmonious" person who is better at assisting others.

In this way, the root problem cannot be solved at all.

Just as the Iron Guards gritted their teeth and prepared to ask the other side to give up saving them, a clear and gentle piano sound rang out.

It flowed like a mountain stream, from the creek to the lake. The cool feeling that seemed to cleanse the depths of their souls lifted their spirits, and the burns of varying degrees on their bodies were all healed at this moment.

The gentleness of this power made the veterans present even more determined not to let such a "gifted person" die in vain.

Just as he was about to shout, he saw a streak of azure arrow light streak across the sky, like a shooting star...

The moment that azure light arrow landed on the ground, an eye of the wind that was far larger than the previous one was formed instantly. The strong suction force sucked in the surrounding Yanhua creations along with the flames from the outer universe. Then the Iron Guards witnessed the birth of a giant wind vortex.

Those monsters that had given the Iron Guards so many headaches in the past were now rolled around without any resistance like rags thrown into a washing machine. The blue mist elements in them had suddenly taken on a hint of ice, and in the blink of an eye, they formed icy wind vortexes wrapped with cold blades.

When the wind vortex ended, all the Yanhua creations had disappeared. The clash between the elements caused them to turn into the most basic particles and disperse. The outer universe flame in the core of the eye of the storm was dying, and the fire source that continued to burn on its body completely dissipated at this moment.

The huge body also drooped on the ground, looking like it had completely lost the ability to resist.

Witnessing this unbelievable scene, the Iron Guards were in a trance, and only came to their senses when the voice sounded again.

"Sorry, it took me a little while to find a suitable Eternal Winter Stone, but luckily I found it in the end."

This time the sound was not carried into their ears by the wind, but was real and came from not far away from them.

The Iron Guards subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, where stood a pretty-faced bard.

"Hey, good evening everyone. I'm Wendy, the best bard in Belloborg, maybe even the best bard in the world."

"She" boasted without any shame, making people think for a moment that they were listening to "her" performance on the street.

Perhaps noticing their lack of reaction, the other party smiled cunningly again.

"Huh? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? There shouldn't be any problem with the way I made my entrance, right?"

This made the thin-skinned guards quickly look away, not daring to look at others so rudely anymore.

As the most experienced veteran among them, he solemnly thanked Wendy for her help.

Dunn and Bronya, who had originally planned to evacuate, naturally witnessed this scene. They quickened their pace and hurried back, and the latter even made eye contact with Wendy.

"...It's you, Wendy..."

Bronya didn't know how to describe her current mood.

She felt both guilty and happy, and the complex emotions intertwined in her heart made her speechless for a moment.
