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

"But you're the only one who believed Ms. Lingke's words, right? Especially since Uncle Yang warned you."

"T-How can you say that! By the way, where is Miss Lingke? I want to see her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl in the Iron Guard group wearing a cat hat suddenly shrank her shoulders, quickly lowered the hat, and tried to slip away.

However, the sharp-eyed San Yueqi saw him on the spot. She shouted like Phoenix Wright in Ace Attorney, "Wait, I object! There's another accomplice over there. I demand that she be brought here to face justice!"

“——Were we discovered?!”

Miss Lingke was both annoyed and panicked. She opened her mouth to make some excuses, but all the words she had prepared in her mind were shattered by March 7's accusations.

"Ling Ke?! Are you really colluding with extraterrestrial forces?!"

Sister Pera even showed a painful expression of betrayal.

"No, no, that's not it! I just wanted to stand up for Sister Pyrrha...but I didn't expect that he would actually be--Hmm!"

When Ling Ke was about to reveal the other person's real name, she covered her mouth, fearing that if she offended Lord Barbatos again, she would be sent to the north to watch the aurora for the rest of her life.

Although she likes her job from a professional perspective, no matter how much she likes it, she doesn't want to continue doing it with this sin that will make her exiled!

"So-called retribution, this is probably what they refer to, right?"

The hostage Wendy spoke slowly at this moment.

"No, no, no, the problem now seems to be you. Even if you are the God of Wind and you are weak, you can't be killed by just a rope!"

Sanyueqi waved his hands and covered his head with his hands, feeling a headache.

"Hey~ I'm just an ordinary bard, I don't have that kind of powerful power."

There was a hint of mischief in the corner of Wendy's eyes.

"So, breaking free from the rope doesn't require any great strength!"

Although people are still complaining about this, on the other hand, now that the "kidnappers" have surrendered themselves, the misunderstanding has been resolved naturally.

Pera, who found out it was just a false alarm, came over with Lingke, her face flushed, to apologize.

The cat-like blonde girl was already ashamed like a steam girl. As a social person, she had done something wrong, but she was also forced to apologize like this, and in front of so many people, her shame was about to explode!

Therefore, if we were to use a portrait to describe Lingke now, it would probably be her fur that is withered and yellow, her ears are like those of a listless Scottish Fold cat, and her depressed little face reveals a sense of despair.

If there was another companion, it would be the pink-haired girl who used to exude happiness, but now she was babbling and apologizing along with him.

Each of them had a sign hanging on their chest.

It says "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wrongly accused anyone" / "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have caused trouble."

Although the dejected beauties have their own charm, Wendy still prefers to see others smile.

"Okay. Don't take it too seriously. I'm not a stingy guy. It's actually quite fun playing with you guys—" Before she could finish her words, Wendy cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

And Pyrrha stood beside him with a smile on her face, tilting her head slightly, and asked from the magical angle of UP woman's power.

"Then may I ask, Master Barbatos, have you had enough fun? Your companions are still waiting for your return."

"Alright, alright. It's my fault for making such a big scene without any prior notice. It must have caught you off guard, right?"

"Hearing what you said, we can only endure it no matter how hard or tiring it is—"

When Wendy caught a glimpse of the slightly resentful look in the girl's glasses, she spoke with a guilty conscience.

"... Ugh, thank you for your hard work."

"That's not it."

Pyra shook her head, stood on tiptoe slightly, and whispered in her ear.

"Just say: 'I'm back'. That's definitely what everyone wants to hear most."

The girl's whisper was like some kind of soft feather, gently caressing the ear canal, and her warm breath made people's hearts flutter.

It’s a pity that Wendy’s heart has now been replaced by the star core. It is a "monster" that only knows how to imitate humans but cannot understand human emotions.

After the imprint of consciousness is erased, it is like a blank disc, and any external emotional sound will leave an echo on it.

Perhaps one day, when the disc of emotions is completely recorded, the song that the girls miss will slowly play.

But now, Wendy could only pretend not to understand.

"—I never left."

Although she wanted to say that Feng Ping was looking at everyone equally, considering that people on the scene might be worried about privacy, Wendy wisely chose not to say it out loud.

"Then do you know something about the ancient battlefield in the north?"

Pera also changed the subject at the right time. She was very patient and believed that Wendy would make his choice and there was no need to rush him.

Just like reading a favorite book, when faced with many favorite characters, people always have a process of thinking: who do they like the most?

Even if you finally come to the conclusion that "I like them all", it is better than never thinking about it in this way before.

"Yeah. The wind over there has brought me a message. I'll rush over there to resolve the problem first, and then let everyone have a good time during the Wind Flower Festival."

Wendy nodded. This conversation did attract the attention of the pioneers.

As the team's representative, Walter naturally stepped forward as spokesperson and asked, "Tell you all, is there anything we can do? If it's the aftermath of the star core, or the monsters that have been eroded, perhaps we can lend a hand."

When Pera was about to decline, Wendy's eyes lit up.

He knew that these righteous train crew members would definitely offer to help.

So, in Pella's numb and accustomed gaze, Wendy had already held Walter's hand, with a touching look as if to say, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"This guy, he really can't change his personality of preferring to stay behind the scenes..."

Although I know that no matter what happens, Wendy will always be there to cover it up, but his behavior of not caring about other people's opinions really makes people worry that he will just sneak away one day.

Or rather, he had already done it once, so it wouldn't be strange if he did it again.

"Then, could you please tell us the information over there?"

Dan Heng is more pragmatic. Since he has accepted the task, everything naturally takes completion as the priority.

Even March 7, who was originally dejected, pricked up his ears and listened carefully when he heard that there was work to do.

When Pella, the intelligence officer, caught Wendy's gaze, she spoke helplessly, "Here's what happened. During the decades of Beloberg's battle against the Legion of Destruction, the north of Beloberg served as the main battlefield, with numerous automatons and Destruction soldiers gathered there.

Although due to the cold wave, most of them are buried under the snow and cannot be reached by people.

But with the containment of the star core, the source of the cold wave, the relentless snowstorms ceased. Under the current large-scale climate change, most of the snow on the surface has melted, and the relics of the past that were originally buried there have revived.

"So, all we have to do is help clean up the battlefield?"

March 7 answered subconsciously.

"Hmm... you could say that, but this matter is currently being handled by Lieutenant Xi'er and Guard Officer Jeppard. The monsters can't break through the front lines, so we need to eliminate these powerful enemies one by one. According to our detection, there seems to be a creature affected by the Rift in the center of the ancient battlefield."

When mentioning this, Pera couldn't help but think of the "defeated Cocolia" in that battle.

According to intelligence sent back by some in-depth investigation agencies, in the disaster-stricken area affected by the source of the rift, there once was a solemn rift phantom wandering there.

In the past rumors of Beloberg, it was also said that these rift phantoms were the echoes of the will of the past guardians.

If the rumors are true, perhaps that phantom could only be her...

Chapter 103: Barbatos, even if I kill you a thousand times it won’t be enough!!!

They set off as soon as they were told to. Both the Trail Blazers and the iron guards on Pella's side were people who valued efficiency and hard work.

Therefore, after leaving the originally joyful activity scene, everyone drove into the endless green fields.

This place was covered by several mountains a few months ago, but now only a flat cross-section is left, and no one knows where the mountain has been thrown.

This intuitive display of power finally surprised March Seven, who had no respect for Wendy at first, but she quickly put it out of her mind.

After all, when Wendy is not doing her work, it is not surprising that she is regarded as a street urchin who hangs out on the streets all day, and seems to be very casual and lazy in everything she does.

Especially after revealing his identity, he no longer even pretended... Or perhaps, apart from his initial self-introduction, he seemed to be quite casual all the time?

Because of this reason, he gets along pretty well with the Trail Blazers. He just needs to get a cell phone so that he can visit them on the train one day.

While rushing to the ancient battlefield in the north, the Iron Guards' vehicles had a small problem, which gave Walter the opportunity to show his skills.

After his repairs and "magical" modifications, the automatic mecha vehicle, which was originally just a rough transformation, suddenly improved a lot of performance and even its safety.

If the conditions were not limited, it would not be difficult for him to make a giant city builder robot by hand.

However, after this incident, the Iron Guards, who were originally wary of the pioneers, changed their views on them. At least they showed special respect for Walter.

As for San Yueqi... this kid wasn't naturally the type to be respected. And Danheng was a quiet person, focused on driving, but that was also interpreted as "honest."

In the words of the Iron Guards, he was born for this job. He is quiet and just works hard, making him a perfect driver!

As for Wendy, he returned to his old job, playing the piano and singing poems, which was the only thing he could do for everyone as a bard.

In this slightly cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, we arrived at the battlefield in the north.

The group quickly found Jeppard who was in charge of battlefield command.

"Order to all artillery units—hold your positions and provide slow-moving barrage support in the direction of the infantry units."

He shouted loudly with a resolute expression, and his armor still bore some marks of battle damage. His heroic demeanor invisibly broke up the originally somewhat casual attitude of the crowd.

The accompanying iron guards quickly got into shape, and the members of the train crew also took the defense forces of this planet seriously for the first time.

Although the weapons used by the Silvermane Iron Guards seemed somewhat crude to the pioneers, their overall combat capabilities were actually not bad.

Especially in terms of fighting spirit, it is terrifyingly high. All of them are carrying out the belief of defending their homeland and constantly fighting against monsters.

Their fighting spirit was high, but not impulsive, so Jeppard's orders were basically carried out.

"The terrain here is narrow. All infantry units should form a double-row line formation—guards in front, archers in the back. Also, remember to prioritize evacuating the wounded. Avoid reckless advances."

After observing the map and issuing new instructions, Jeppard also looked at the people who had been standing here just now, especially Wendy who seemed particularly harmless.

Seeing that he was safe and sound, and still looked familiar to him, even Jeppard felt relieved.

"...Lord Barbatos, please inform me before you leave next time. Otherwise, we will be truly unworthy of the Guardian's trust."

"Hey. This time I just wanted to give everyone a surprise. Next time I'll definitely tell Bronya in advance."

Wendy smiled and patted the aurora arm armor on his arm, comforting him.

"Furthermore, I've brought you some brave and helpful pioneers this time. I believe that with their help, the Silver Mane Guards will be able to resolve the chaos in this area very quickly!"

"Oh, I see. You are indeed very thoughtful—"

Regardless of whether Jeppard really thought so, the train conductors who were praised by Wendy had to show some strength, otherwise they would be sorry for the trust she placed in them.

With the addition of the new force of the Trail Blazers, Jeppard was able to continue to stay at the command center. Although he personally preferred to lead the charge, as the commander of an army, he did have many inconveniences.

Therefore, he quickly stopped dwelling on this and informed everyone of the next tactical goal.

"After that, I need you all to coordinate with the infantry lines and open a path deep into the battle zone. Then, you will rendezvous with Lieutenant Xi'er, who has already set out. After eliminating any powerful enemies you might encounter, you will conduct the final decapitation operation—"

"No problem, we've done this kind of work many times, and we'll make sure these monsters don't get away with it~"

"What's with your sudden bandit vibe?"

Dan Heng glanced at the expanding March Seventh, and she belatedly revealed a somewhat naive smile.

"Huh? Does that make me sound like a bandit? It's rare for me to come up with something so powerful! Why don't you think of a better way to put it?"

"Ahem. Xiao Sanyue, Danheng, although the pre-battle slogan is important, the Jeppard Guard is still explaining it. Please remain quiet—"

Walter pushed his glasses and reminded.

"Ah! Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to interrupt you."

March Seven quickly covered his mouth and stood aside, while Dan Heng also stepped back behind Walter with his arms folded.

Jeppard had no intention of blaming them, but instead gave them a general account of the battle.

"Currently, the rear of the battle zone has been cleared and stabilized, sufficient to support the frontline operations. The temporary battle formation composed of the Iron Guard and the 'Earth Fire' is slowly advancing to search and rescue the wounded."
