In addition to his sister being an important woman who influenced Roy's life, there was also a person of the opposite sex who had a great influence on Roy.
The other party is Roy's true love and one of his teammates on this mission—Bryony.
During this trip, the mission performed by Roy and others was very covert.
There are seven people in a team, and all of them are level three beings.
Among them, there are three magicians and four heavenly knights.
In addition to their team, according to vague information that Roy learned from certain channels, the combat command headquarters also sent many similar elite combat teams this time.
I don't know what the significance of these tasks they performed is.
It should be to complete a certain battlefield plan of the great true spirit magician Thane, his great-great-great-grandfather.
Influenced by their great-grandfather, most of the magicians in the Grant family follow the three paths of truth: fire, light, and machinery, and many magicians have secondary training in alchemy.
Roy is not good at light magic, but he is very proficient in fire and mechanical magic, and has dabbled in alchemy.
Roy's true love, Brienne, is a light magician. The two of them got to know each other on the battlefield of the Wings of Light.
At the beginning, Brienne was a third-level light magician in a holy tower affiliated with the Mamet Alliance.
After Thane successfully intercepted a group of legions of the True Spirit of Light Neytiri, Brienne successfully joined the Tower of Ashes True Spirit under Roy's recommendation.
In addition to Bryony, a very important partner to Roy in this seven-person team is his good brother, the third-level sky knight Hawk.
As for the others, Roy is also familiar with them, and some of them have cooperated in combat more than once and are considered friends.
However, after all, Bryony and Hawke are not as important to Roy.
"When we set out, the combat headquarters strictly requested that we should not use any summoning method to summon weak servants to assist in the battle, so as not to expose our aura."
"Hawk, put your shadow crawler away quickly!" Roy couldn't help but cursed at the voice transmission of a burly knight.
A burly knight named Hawke, it is hard to believe that he is actually a dark attribute knight who is good at darkness and stealth.
Facing Roy's scolding, Hawke rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this just to find a more suitable infiltration route? Who knows if there are demonic tide creatures patrolling around here."
"Found it, come with me quickly!" Hawke said, and turned into a black afterimage with a "swish", and quickly flew towards the location of a broken meteorite belt.
When Roy and others saw this, they could only follow in a hurry.
This time, the combat command assigned Roy and others a "strange" mission. They were required to find the broken plane in the surrounding star field, and they were also asked to install the strange oval-shaped mechanical device at specific coordinates.
Roy and others obtained a total of two of these oval-shaped mechanical devices.
It stands to reason that as long as one is successfully installed, they have completed the task.
But if both can be successfully placed, the achievement will obviously be even greater!
It is obviously not easy to complete such a covert mission deep in the dangerous frontline battlefield.
The reason why the combat headquarters does not send creatures above level 4 to do this is because the laws of creatures above level 4 fluctuate too much, and their concealment is not as good as those of level 3 creatures.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Master Thane's world-destroying plan, the Ash Legion headquarters did not send out any demigod-level creatures this time.
Each of the teams dispatched are all composed of third-level knights and magicians.
Moreover, Roy and others could not see through the details of the mechanical device, which was even directly made by Thain himself.
In recent years, he had refined a total of 57 pieces before the demonic tide army launched a full-scale attack.
There is no need for all of them to detonate and activate. Only half of them need to be activated smoothly, and Thane can start implementing the doomsday plan.
It can only be said that the more these mechanical devices are activated, the better the effect will be.
In the current civilized war, even Thane's direct blood descendants are inevitably required to perform such life-threatening tasks.
In the face of war, there is no such thing as blood or kinship.
If the combat headquarters asks you to go, you have to go! There is no negotiation!
…
War is full of cruelty and bloodshed.
And not everyone is the protagonist.
Obviously, the same applies to Roy and others.
When the installation of the first mechanical device was completed, two of Roy's seven people had already died.
Fortunately, the demon tide creatures that were chasing them did not notice what they had left behind in the previous area.
Among the two people who died, there were no two close friends, Briney and Hawke, which made Roy breath a sigh of relief.
But as to whether to install a second mechanical device, the team of only five people had some differences.
Driven by reason, Roy wanted to give up, because their team had obviously been discovered by the surrounding Demon Tide Legion, and subsequent missions would undoubtedly be more dangerous.
Also abstaining from the vote was his old partner Hawke. This guy was injured by a demon tide creature during his previous lurking. Even if he did not die directly, his condition at this time was extremely poor. Naturally, he had no intention of continuing to fight.
.
But the remaining three people all supported the placement of the second mechanical device, including Roy's true love Brienne.
"We were invaded by a demonic tide. How could we give up on the mission assigned to us by the combat headquarters out of fear of death!"
"These mechanical devices are so mysterious, and the attitude of the combat headquarters is so cautious. They are obviously extremely important props related to the surrounding battle situation! I choose to continue to perform the mission!"
"If you want to leave, please leave first. I can complete its activation and placement by myself." said a third-level magician named Teste.
He was the other third-level magician present besides Roy and Brienne. Roy knew that his wife and son had both died in the previous Wings of Light war zone.
This third-level magician wears a black mask on his face and has one eye completely corroded by the magic tide factor. He has a deep hatred for the magic tide civilization that cannot be suppressed.
Even if he died together with the demon tide civilization, he would have no regrets.
In addition to Test, another third-level knight named Mario, and Brienne, all agreed to continue the mission.
3:2. If they don’t want to abandon their teammates, their team should continue to carry out unfinished tasks.
Mario is a third-level knight who wears a red hat, has two beards, and seems to be quite taciturn.
His choice to continue fighting should be related to the two teammates who died before.
Those two people, a man and a woman, are both knights and have a deep emotional bond with Mario.
He, who has always been low-key and taciturn, silently stood by Test's side this time.
As for why Britney chose to continue the mission, Roy didn't know.
Roy discovered that there was actually a lot he didn't understand about his true love...
