The siege training lasted for three days.
"That's enough." Rasul put away his sword. "If you continue, this child's spirit won't be able to bear it."
"That's it for now." Ask nodded, and Nora immediately stepped forward, holding the bruised and battered Peggy in her arms to treat her.
"Why are all the members of your team like monsters?" Rasul carried the sheathed sword on his shoulder. "They are all determined and unyielding. They will never back down no matter how painful it is. And they are all beautiful girls..."
"It's not good for a woman to be too beautiful. It's like fine porcelain. You always worry that it will be broken if you're not careful. It's better if it's a bit stronger..." He stuck out his tongue and licked his upper lip. "No more playing. I have to go."
"Thank you very much." Ask nodded. "Thank you for your guidance over the past three days."
"You're welcome. I just wanted to see how long she could hold on at first, but I didn't expect she could actually hold on until now." Rasul waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, let her have a good rest."
"After all, the time for peace is running out." He put his hands in his pockets, holding the long sword crookedly in his left arm, "A more brutal war will come soon. If she can't learn that sword technique as soon as possible..."
That swordplay? Ask stared at his back. What was this guy hinting at
"Your men have to work hard too. If they die in this war, my sparring with them for the past few days will be wasted." Rasul's figure disappeared around the corner.
"How is Peggy?" Ask pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked Nora.
"My spiritual energy is depleted a lot, but it's not a big problem. I may need to rest for a while." Nora replied, her voice seemed a little hesitant, "Asker, the war that person mentioned..."
"Well, it's coming soon." Ask stood up, "You all should get ready."
When they returned to the military camp, all the girls were present, and even Hood, who had been in the workshop, was called out.
"I just received a notification." Ask hung up the phone and said solemnly to everyone, "The Latin Crusaders are coming again."
"This is a real full-scale offensive, with a total of about 20,000 people."
"The vanguard has arrived at the ruins of the town of Olympia, equipped with a large number of power armors, firearms, and..."
“… mortars.”
A loud noise like thunder exploded from outside, and the floor under everyone's feet seemed to tilt instantly, bringing with it some terrible aftershocks and shock waves.
Hood lost his balance and fell to the ground. Eleanor quickly pulled him up and turned around to ask everyone:
"Is everyone okay?!"
Ask rushed to the window and pulled open the curtains.
He saw black smoke rising from below, as if a mortar shell had hit the Olin tree, causing a slight earthquake throughout the city inside the tree.
"Everyone follow me." Ask said quickly, "Hood, you are a non-combatant, immediately go to the training ground on this floor to hide. It is the closest to the tree trunk and is not easily hit head-on."
