Li Ran neatly folded the blood letters with complicated emotions.
He raised his head and suddenly found that the war hall had been tidied up.
Various documents are neatly arranged in categories, and tables, chairs, and map markers are also placed in their proper places.
Eureka squatted by the fire, clumsily holding a shortened log and trying to put it into the gradually weakening fire.
She has been transformed into the undead for too long, and she still has the appearance of a girl. Because she has long forgotten the peaceful days, she appears to be incompatible with human life.
"Eureka, come here."
"Eh?"
The girl turned around and was startled.
The fire illuminated her rosy face, and it was hard to tell whether it was the firelight or the original color of her cheeks.
Eureka threw the whole block of wood into the fireplace, stood up, came to Li Ran and leaned down.
The long sandy golden hair flowed down the man's shoulders. The girl ignorantly followed Li Ran's gesture and looked at the map on the long table. She had no idea that the fragrance on her neck had already dazzled the man.
Li Ran felt a little restless. He swallowed and told himself that he had more urgent things to do.
He circled the Iron Ridge Mountains with his pen and asked the knight:
"According to intelligence, there is a trapped Archangel and his combat team in this area. Do we have the ability to rescue him?"
Eureka showed a thoughtful expression and said seriously:
"The Iron Spine Mountains are the most complex mountainous area in Talengard, and are also the area where the entrance to the underground world is located. If we send troops to march from the underground to the surface, we can easily avoid sight on the ground and complete the infiltration operation."
"However, there is still a risk of being exposed if you act rashly. Black Cliff's stalkers can act as the vanguard, taking advantage of the darkness to conduct reconnaissance of the target location to prevent them from being discovered and exposed by the demon's army."
Li Ran nodded and agreed: "We must pay extra attention not to be discovered by Talengard. In order to march quickly, we must also prepare a mobile force for easy evacuation."
He thought for a while and said: "Eureka, inform Hart that I have authorized him to use the Pillar of Promotion to build the Dark Knights' army. The cooling time of the Pillar of Promotion is fifteen days. Don't waste any time to upgrade to a lower level.
From now on, our resource output will give priority to ensuring the army building consumption of the Dark Knights."
"Let Starwind Shadow, Griffin Claw, and Shadow Lancer troops conduct a joint operation. We will set off immediately to rescue the Archangel!"
...
Dark clouds obscured the starlight, plunging the Iron Spine Mountains into even more complete darkness.
In the valley, apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was only the roar of demons that sounded from time to time.
A demon force that arrived first had surrounded the abandoned castle. In order to fight against the archangel hiding inside, Talengard also sent a great demon warlord to overdraw his magic power and use space teleportation to arrive at the outskirts of the castle in advance.
After this night, the demon army will arrive for reinforcements. At that time, three great demons will launch a hunt for the archangel, and the demon army will extinguish any resistance in the castle.
The demon paused its attack, but the shadow would not stop moving.
The shadows of the whirling trees began to sway and gradually extended to the foot of a rock.
Except for the more advanced stalkers, no one can detect the secret actions.
He secretly walked along the ridges and the backside of the woods. When he encountered a level inhabited by demons, he used his stalker skills to climb over the cliffs that were difficult for ordinary people to pass.
After two hours of sneaking, An Ke finally arrived at the castle in the deep valley.
The ruined castle is dark.
Demon blood and corpses were scattered randomly on the walls and courtyards. A tired crossbowman stood on the tower, nervously looking towards the direction where the demon army was stationed.
They don't need to be alarmed. Every next attack by the demon army may be their doom.
The long wheel battle exhausted everyone's energy, and most people fell asleep on this bloodless night.
He walked around the castle silently.
Finally, she saw a faint glimmer of light in a window of the main castle.
She used the shooting holes, wooden slats and window sills of the main castle to climb up, and then climbed in through the window.
The moment she landed, her eyes flashed.
A long sword burning with light blue holy flames was about to cut off her hair, and it suddenly stopped in front of An Ke.
"You are not a devil."
A clear spring-like voice sounded, with simplicity untainted by worldly desires: "But you also have a disgusting smell on your body. Why do the servants of the Faceless Men appear here?"
"Is this your attitude towards the savior?" Anji said lightly.
She jumped up and sat on the windowsill with her legs crossed.
The dark clouds were blown open by the willful wind, and the moonlight spilled into the room along the darkly dangling calves, illuminating the archangel's bloody wings, golden half-armor and white battle skirt.
The archangel's beautiful face looked angrily at the uninvited stalker.
As a servant of Elrath, the dragon of light, the faceless men created by the angel and Malassa, the dragon of darkness, have been enemies for generations. The instinct flowing in her blood deeply stimulated her already tired and nervous mind.
The archangel gradually regained her composure, her expression was neither happy nor sad, and her voice became ethereal:
"Please forgive my offense. My resistance to the shadows is my instinctive reaction. Who are the saviors you are talking about? As far as I know, the entire Griffin Principality has fallen. If it is the Faceless Men hiding underground,
If you want to lend a helping hand, please forgive me for refusing."
The angel's face showed a determined look: "Light will never be obscured by darkness. We will not accept the erosion and charity of Marassa. The soldiers of Elrath would rather die on the battlefield."
An Ke shook his head helplessly, these loyal servants of Elrath were always so ignorant and paranoid.
She originally wanted to make a few jokes, but the current situation was urgent and she had to make a quick decision.
The leader of Star Wind Shadow had to fold his arms, put on a business-like look, and said seriously:
"In the fallen land, there was an adult who broke the curse and ignited the fire of light - congratulations, angel, Lord Li Ran has restored Star Wind City!"
The angel was immediately shocked by the unbelievable news, but then showed doubts: "Is this true? That sir...how did he know that we are trapped here?"
The corners of her lips curled up into a sly smile, and she was waiting for the other party to ask such a question.
The dark believer pretended to imitate the way the devout Pastor Alrath prayed. After performing a sacrament, he closed his eyes and solemnly said:
"Lord Li Ran received Alrath's divine revelation in Starwind City and learned about your situation. The holy legion has arrived and will rescue you from danger. From now on, you should serve Alrath as if you were in danger.
Ra Sipan, give your body and mind to Master Li Ran."
The archangel prayed to the God in his heart, and seemed to get some kind of specious response. No matter what words the dark elf in front of him said, he ignored them.
She closed her eyes and meditated. After a moment, she opened her quiet eyes and said lightly:
"How will he save us?"
"You only need to lead your army to attack, and God's legions will rescue you."
The archangel frowned slightly. At this moment, she quite suspected that this dark elf was a spy sent by the devil to deceive her, but the words that contained hope were hard to ignore.
Finally the final moment has come.
The archangel stood up, her blood-stained wings emitting pure brilliance in the moonlight, and she issued an ultimatum to the troublemaking stalker.
"No matter who your master is, please tell him that Archangel Tia will lead an attack and fight to the death for the glory of Elrath."
