Under the setting sun, the black-haired boy held a slightly dry tree in his hands, looking at the desert ahead in the night breeze. The vast land has a panoramic view. The primitive natural landforms gave Roya a kind of heart that has never been seen before. The wonderful feeling of passing, as if he is the only one in the world.
A journey of one person, which is relatively rare for Roja, but thinking that he has always been fighting alone, Roja's heart calmed down again.
After all, crossing the border is a hazard if there are too many people. Unless there are too many people in a country where the refugees can't be blocked by a wall, the smaller the number, the easier it is to move, and the less likely it is to be detected.
In addition to the number of people, the other thing that determines Roja's chance of escape is his own ability. For this, the black-haired teenager has already made some preparations.
Since a few days ago, Roja has been replenishing his energy, and the blood of the king who has been promoted to the gold level has been constantly restoring Roja's state at all times, and the re-fusion of the [Crown] source quality is also It has reached the final stage. Although the connection with the ancient gods has not been completely established, the use of the crown stone is no longer a problem.
"frozen soil."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the whispered young man looked at his hands and nodded silently, feeling a lot of peace of mind.
With the level of Source Level 2, the power of the crown stone possessed by Roja has been much stronger than in the past. As far as attack power is concerned, the black-haired boy is now no less inferior to the ancient gods, and the overall combat effectiveness It is far beyond the level.
With such strength, although it is impossible to compete with the king of races, it is not necessarily difficult to cross a desert. On the other hand, after the projection disappears, Noelle, who returned to the human side, may have already announced the plan of the boy. , Related rescue operations will also be launched.
As long as he persists for a few days, Roja has a chance to meet the rescuers who have entered the desert, and the possibility of leaving this alien territory will be greatly increased.
The teenager hesitated on the edge of the desert, and decided to take a rest for a while. After all, compared with the environment he is now in, the desert night conditions, which is almost a life-forbidden zone, are even more unbearable.
Simply finding a canopy as a base, Roja began the final rest, while in the human fortress thousands of miles away, the blond angel fell into unprecedented hesitation.
-------------------------------------------------- ---
In Tuck Fortress, Noelle Hiztrick held a letter from the Holy See in his hand, recalling the events of the past two days, and stared at the distant plain silently.
After the saint's short-blade skills were lifted in the early morning yesterday, the blond lady angel immediately returned to her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw the enchantment and the priests who protected it in the center.
Obviously, the Holy See had long anticipated Noel’s waking up. The girl had just woken up, and the curse group composed of dozens of high-ranking transcendents had already activated the spell, and completely destroyed Noel’s possibly damaged body. Covered in the light of healing, the emergency contact with Saint John on the other side has also begun.
"Grandpa! Roja is in the depths of Tucker Plain! Please also immediately..."
"I know, calm down first."
Across the image, Holy See John calmed down the girl who was worried about Roja and asked for details about the boy's information. Correspondingly, Noelle also learned about the plan of the Holy See and the decision of Holy See John.
The action to rescue Roja must require the strong from Source Level 1 to show up to participate in the battle, and going to the front line is a very risky thing for the strong from Source Level 1 scattered everywhere.
The existence of the king of alien species made everyone jealous, and it is also the reason for the faint disadvantage of human beings in the current battlefield situation. However, after weighing the pros and cons of the rescue of Roja, Holy See John did not deny it, but decided to implement it. , The reason is also very simple, that is, in the view of Saint John, mankind cannot lose the owner of the blood of the king.
The combat power of Source Level 1 is naturally precious, but what I have to say is that none of the powers of Source Level 1 in humans can truly and positively confront the King of Alien Species. This is the current stalemate. The reason is also the human side’s culprit.
Once the king of aliens really wakes up and leads the army to launch an offensive against humans again, then the humans who are disadvantaged in the highest-end combat power will definitely fall into a disadvantage, and may even encounter the extinction of the race.
Regarding this, the internal and external parts of the coalition are worried, and they have also formulated a series of plans to deal with this extremely likely situation, and the most important of them is the plan called the Cultivation Plan, which aims to increase the number of human sources. .
Since the quality is not enough, then the quantity should be used to make up for it. This is the best method that mankind can think of at present. Under this guiding ideology, including Noelle from the Church of St. Mestre and Charlotte from the United Nations Special, Lilian of the Austin Empire, and many new stars of the golden generation have also become the focus of human training.
In this plan, humans have to cultivate more than five Kings of Origin Level 1 race in at least three years, so as to ensure the survival of the race and make the other side fearful.
The aliens are waiting for the absolute king of the race to wake up, and the human side is accumulating strength. The two sides are now much calmer than a year ago. This is how the battle situation came, but the reappearance of Roja changed the Holy See. John's thoughts.
If there is anyone in this world who is Saint John who can be sure that he can defeat the king of aliens head-on at Source Level 1, then there is only one answer, which is to choose the awakened person of the blood of the king. This is not a guess, but there is Reality based on a large number of records.
Although no one knows now, but in fact, as the only awakened person of the blood of the king, Roja is a special existence called the king of the election in ancient records. He was the supervisor of the various races in the ancient times, and also One of the manifestations of Shia's authority and power, at the moment its strength reaches source level 1, no foreign race can compare with it.
Compared with the highly uncertain plan of cultivating more than five source level 1, saving Roja and waiting for him to be promoted to source level 1 is the real hope of mankind in the eyes of Saint John, and the only one to end this war. Possibly, for this purpose, the gray-haired old man is willing to risk his life.
On the other hand, even if the responsibility of the entire mankind that the Holy See must bear is abandoned, it is just a king alone. John the Holy See cannot abandon the son of the only partner of the family for hundreds of years. As an elder, the old man It is even impossible to personally bury his granddaughter's lifelong happiness.
In public and private, we must try our best, and in order to achieve this goal, the action cannot only be the Holy See, but the support of the entire coalition army.
In order to be able to get support for joint action, Holy See John has sent letters to the Speaker of the Country of Scholars, Antonio, the President of the United Nations of Roses Business, Bruce, and the King of the Knights of Pand, Friedrich, a massive, multinational rescue operation. The curtain is about to begin, but only the Austin Empire is excluded, and the reason is very simple.
"Lucas Aqiman, this person cannot be trusted. He has a strange attitude towards the Acate family."
For Noelle’s question, Saint John gave such an answer with a dignified face, and the girl was also convinced. However, what Noelle did not expect was that a letter from Charlotte made everything It gets complicated.
According to Charlotte's letter, after learning about Roja and the rescue operation, Miss Elf immediately used her blood to perform an astrology, but the results were not optimistic.
"The astrology shows that our actions will not go too smoothly. It seems that something is missing, or help... It should be the woman."
Such words appeared in the letter, and they immediately attracted Noelle’s attention. After all, Charlotte’s bloodline [Missing Man] is the ability to see everything in the world like the goddess of fate. As for what Miss Elf said That woman, Noelle naturally understood who it was.
Lilian Aqiman, this is the name of Noelle and others’ dead enemies, and the general who currently controls one-third of the forces on the frontline of the Austin Empire. However, compared with the past, Noelle and others are with her The relationship has actually eased a lot.
One of the reasons is naturally the friendship of the human coalition fighting together, and the other reason is the sympathy of several people and Lilian's initiative during the time when Roja disappeared.
In more than a year of fierce fighting, Lillian led his troops to rescue Noelle, Wilhelmina, and even Charlotte, the worst relationship, several times. As a result, several girls dispelled many prejudices against them. And Lilian's weight loss over time after Roja's disappearance made the girls inevitably empathize.
Because of this, Charlotte didn't resist very much when she mentioned her this time, and after reading Miss Elf's letter, Noelle also struggled.
The Holy See believed that the Emperor of the Austin Empire was not trustworthy, but Charlotte warned that such contradictions were difficult to resolve. After the discussion, Holy See John gave the decision to Noelle.
"The relationship within the Austin Empire is so complicated that we have no way of knowing. Let's act according to your ideas."
Under the words of Saint John, Noelle was entangled in his heart. After all, Charlotte’s astrology just said it was not going well, and it was not necessarily unsuccessful. But if the plan was informed to the Austin Empire, the result would be good. The bad will be difficult to determine, and if there is a slight mistake, Roja is likely to be in danger of life.
Looking at the plain outside the window, Noelle's body was stiffened by the pressure, and his heart was very tangled. However, before she could make a decision, the emergency military situation on the front line suddenly came, and one after another sent it to her desk, letting Nuo Al had to pause his thoughts to check, but then he found something was wrong.
"Wait, this, this is..."
In the command room of the fortress, Noelle, who was reading the letters, exclaimed. As the number of letters increased, the blonde girl’s eyes became wider and paler, because the girl discovered that all the military sentiments in front of him were summed up. , The content is actually only one.
That is the army of aliens is mobilizing, and the target is the Harvey Desert.
"They... found him? How could it be possible!"
Noelle, who sensed this, stopped. She stared blankly into the darkness outside the window. For a moment, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her inner worries began to increase sharply. However, after thinking about it for a while, the girl forced her. He calmed himself down, and analyzed the current situation with his fists.
"It seems that head-on confrontation is inevitable, in that case..."
Looking at the map on the wall, the blonde girl's eyes gradually sharpened. After a moment of silence, Noelle sat down again, took the pen and wrote the beginning of the letter.
"To Lilian Aqiman..."
-------------------------------------------------- -----------
Something is wrong.
In a white desert, the black-haired boy looked at the corpse of the alien in front of him, and his face gradually became serious as he thought about it.
Two days have passed since Roja entered the desert. According to the plan made with Noelle at the time, Roja has completed nearly half of the journey. However, today, the black-haired teenager is inexplicably uneasy. Such a situation aroused Roya's vigilance, and after carefully observing the neighborhood, the teenager also found some clues.
In front of Roya at this time, a pair of dead alien bones were exposed to the sun, seeming to silently narrate the fact that this is a life forbidden zone, other people probably won't stop for this, after all, and so on. The situation is too common in this desert.
In this desert, there are all kinds of bones of animals, aliens, humans. The earliest ones may be traced back to a thousand years ago. However, the corpse in front of you is a bit different. The reason is very simple. That is, it was killed by a monster.
There are monsters in the desert, but monsters such as snakes and scorpions will be dragged back into the nest after killing aliens, swallowing the rare food in the desert from start to finish, instead of being exposed to the wild, such a miserable image is obvious It was done by a monster in the sky, but in this desert, it was unreasonable.
Due to the weather and light in the desert, there are only a few scavenging monsters. Large-scale attacking monsters do not exist, and they will not take the initiative to come to this barren land. But now, the aliens they killed are placed in Roya. In front of him, the teenager can only think of one possible reason.
That is, they were brought by people.
"A scout for aliens?"
Talking to himself like this, the black-haired boy looked at the road ahead with a solemn face for a while, and a thought began to quickly take shape in Roya's mind after combining various evidences.
I was discovered.
At the moment of confirming this, the black-haired boy subconsciously wanted to leave the desert immediately, but just after turning around, Roja stopped and realized the fact that he could not leave.
Now Roja can be sure that what awaits him is a trap of alien species, but it’s probably too late to retreat. More importantly, he has left this desert full of quicksand and cannot be deployed to fight with alien species on the plain. Meeting people is undoubtedly a nightmare.
Even if the intention is already known, the desert is now the only area where Roya can move freely, and all the teenagers can do is go out with a gamble.
After understanding this, the black-haired boy immediately decided to speed up. However, what he didn't expect was that the moment he took his steps, the feeling of the world suddenly changed, and the familiar feeling of oppression struck again. But this time, Luo Ya was no longer able to laugh at it.
That is a huge, indescribable certain pressure, like an invisible snake, swiftly bite Loya from a distance, and in this coercion, the black-haired boy's golden pupils also brighten. As soon as the curse power flowed, it turned into a majestic icy air, which surrounded Roya.
Under the entanglement of the cold air, the black-haired boy looked far away, looking towards the place where the pressure was. Under his gaze, a body covered with weird scales, like a hill, also appeared in Luo. In the eyes of Asia.
It is a terrifying monster beyond Roja’s knowledge of aliens. Its tall body is comparable to giants, with almost no exposed skin on its body. Its thick scales extend to the face of the blue fangs, and the most uncomfortable thing is It grows on the third hand on the shoulder.
The three-armed giant alien, when he saw the existence of this horror, Roja immediately remembered one of the messages Noelle had brought to her, that was the three existing alien monsters.
There are aliens with wings that can fly and the appearance is close to birds, aliens with sword blades, deformed bodies and blood-red eyes, and finally, invulnerable three-armed giant aliens with almost absolute defense.
After seeing the enemy's form, Roja immediately knew who was facing the sacred side, but what I have to say is that the young man's mind at this time was not placed on this fearsome monster, because Roja knew, The protagonist of this encounter is not him.
Although it is the king of source level 1, Roja, who has reached source level 2, is not a deadly threat. In fact, this indescribable coercion is not owned by it, but in it. On his shoulders.
It was a creeping dark thing. It had a similar texture to the black sphere that Roja had seen before. However, its power was completely different. It continued to gather and separate, emitting an unimaginable huge magic power, and was being hit by Roja. After staring, he quickly stopped his movements and began to transform into a human form.
Under this change, a strong body and strong arms appeared one by one, and the pressure in the air also increased rapidly. However, at the moment when his head was about to take shape, the body of the black-haired boy suddenly burst out infinitely. Light and heat, he stretched out his hand, pointed at the alien lord on the shoulder of the monster, and faintly recited the name of the skill.
"Molten Core."
Amidst the indifferent words, the roaring firelight came out of nowhere, running through the sky, burning the sky.
