To the northeast of Fortress Egnatia, Fortress Negrita has also fallen into large-scale chaos.
The half-nervous Shu Daowen who was originally stationed here was suddenly beaten by the streamer from the opposite side and ran away, causing the fortress defenders' mentality to immediately become unbalanced.
You know that even a demigod can't withstand the attack from the opposite side, so even the entire fortress's defenders... are just sending food!
Therefore, some generals soon became unable to restrain their troops, and large-scale defections began.
The Iron Cross Mercenary Group stormed outside and quickly captured the Negrita Fortress.
"Hahahaha." Andrea was ecstatic, "This Blue Sword mercenary group is indeed extraordinary. Could it be that they have cleaned up all the fortresses leading to Constantinople? Are they just waiting for us to come over and take over?"
Ha ha ha ha!"
"Captain, we still need to expand the results as soon as possible." Herman reminded from the side, "Egnatia can't hide it for too long, and other mercenary groups will soon get the news."
"Yes, let the brothers speed up!" Andrea ordered.
However, soon, another news was brought by the scouts: the Freedom Wind mercenary group led by Matthews was already attacking the nearby town of Sohos.
Andrea:???
"How is it possible!" he said in a low voice, "Does Matthews also have a brain? He actually knows how to send scouts out to investigate?"
"No, I think he just sent people to follow us." Herman said solemnly.
After all, the fact that my wife wants to have a baby... is indeed not a normal excuse.
"Damn it!" Andrea punched the wall, "It's so treacherous to actually follow us! Let everyone end the battle as soon as possible, don't count the harvest, and set off to the next fortress immediately!"
In any case, as long as one more fortress can be captured, the voice and gains in the Crusade camp will increase by 10%. After all, this is a real achievement.
After a while, the mercenaries outside suddenly became noisy, as if an enemy from the air was attacking.
Andrea and Heman hurriedly went out. The enemy coming from the air was undoubtedly a high-level transcendent. If it was a demigod, then everyone had to run away as soon as possible.
Before they could organize the mercenaries, they saw Ask and others falling from the sky. Some of them glided down on their wings, while others were teleported down by Mia and appeared directly in front of the two captains.
"You are quite fast." Looking at the surrounding interior of the occupied Nigrita Fortress, Ask said calmly.
If it were anyone else, they would probably think it was a taunt to take advantage of, but Andrea pretended not to hear it and said with a smile:
"Sir Asik, thanks to you defeating the demigods stationed here before, you saved us a lot of effort."
"It's just a matter of convenience," Aske said.
In the past, he would have definitely bargained with Iron Cross and asked them to give them part of the benefits. But with the strength of almost all the members of Cangqing Sword's current demigods, it would be hard to worry about petty profits.
Not to mention that now that the Crusaders are going to recapture Constantinople, who are they making a wedding dress for?
Seeing that Asik did not ask to be divided into the Iron Cross Mercenary Group, Andrea also breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew how difficult the leader of the mercenary group was, not to mention that there was a psychic in the team who was good at negotiating, and Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, who couldn't afford to offend him. If he really put down his face and bargained with them, what would happen to Andre?
Yaya could only endure the pain and bleeding to help his opponent save face.
After chatting with Andrea for a while, and revealing that all connections from here to Constantinople were open, Cang Qing Sword and the others set off again, preparing to return to the small town of Thessaloniki.
————————
The first time she returned to the town, Sheila couldn't wait to go to Hearth Island, preparing to start hitting the threshold of demigods.
As a result, signs of overcast clouds quickly appeared on Fire Island. As the drizzle fell, Sheila's body began to visibly turn into a cyclone, and finally evaporated into the air.
"That's great." Nora, who was standing next to her, sighed, "After becoming a demigod, you can basically go to all places in the world, right?"
"Are you still thinking about traveling around the world?" Ask said casually. He remembered that this girl originally wanted to travel around the world before joining.
"I don't want to think about it now." Nora stretched and said with a smile, "After all, from the east to the west, so many lands have come here. Constantinople, Sparta, HRE, and
Iberia and Atlanta Ocean…”
"Indeed." Asik had to admit that everyone had indeed traveled a lot in the past four years.
"There is still one last skill left." Nora finally said and sighed, "It seems I have to work harder, huh?"
She noticed that Asik's expression changed, because the moment Sheila entered the demigod stage, the spectrum of the laws of the universe began to oscillate.
Heart of the Storm.
Sheila's title is Heart of the Storm, which means something like "the eye of the storm in the center of the tornado", which makes Asker think that if this guy returns to the country in the future, he might be given a nickname like "Queen of Storms".
As Sheila reappeared in the cyclone, Nora also hurried over to check her physical condition.
"She's very healthy," Nora said after the examination.
"If it's not healthy, I will start conceptualizing the body." Sheila said calmly.
"Conceptualizing the body can indeed relieve many negative effects, but it is not omnipotent." Asker reminded her, "One is the loss of reason. Conceptualizing the body will accelerate the consumption of reason; on the other hand, it needs to be actively activated."
"If you are controlled by some kind of force and cannot begin to conceptualize your body, then it goes without saying. In short, although this ability is useful, it is not completely invincible."
"Yes." Sheila knew that Aske was reminding her to guard against arrogance and impetuosity and not to get carried away in front of her grandfather, so she nodded to show that she understood.
"By the way, what is your fifth law skill?" Asked.
"Emit strong sunlight." Sheila replied.
"ha?"
"To be precise, it is the electromagnetic storms, high-energy charged particle flows and plasma clouds brought about by solar activity." Sheila explained.
Ask:???
"How did it work?" he asked.
"A head-on hit would probably melt someone," Sheila replied.
She flew into the sky in a demonstrative manner, then stretched out a hand and aimed at the ocean in the distance of Fire Island.
A beam of light suddenly erupted from her hand, like a positron siege cannon in the Gundam series, and hit the rocks on the sea in the distance. Then everyone saw that the rocks were melted away in an instant, and then surrounded by
Swallowed by the sea water.
Medea's face looked a little ugly, because that was the place where she and Ask stayed last time.
"It's amazing!" Hildrifa exclaimed, "If this hit the wall of Constantinople, wouldn't it be able to break open it in an instant?"
"It should be okay." Silla said modestly.
"There is a problem with this skill," Asker said. "The trajectory is in a straight line, and the body movements that require aiming can easily be predicted by the enemy."
"I can try to improve it and remove the aiming action before launching." Sheila said after thinking.
"Yeah. But before that." Ask said with a smile, "Let's go see your grandfather first."
