"It's getting late, we have to go on the road tomorrow." Lily walked towards a leafy lime tree without looking back, climbed up the branches, and lay down firmly on it. "Go to bed quickly, it won't be easy if you delay it any longer.
Do you forgive me?"
Yuffie used magic to get rid of the remaining moisture in the carriage. She had been staying in the small carriage these days, and Lily suspected that she had not had a good rest at all. Bell burped, spread the waterproof cloth on the ground, and then spread out some shabby clothes.
Bedroll.
"Just sleep with me!" Bell patted the bed and fell on it, "Tomorrow I will tell you about my... previous adventures..." He breathed evenly, obviously already asleep
Already.
Ed didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stared at Bell for a while, then quietly lay down beside him.
Alphonse stood motionless under the tree. His sapphire-like eyes looked around, occasionally meeting Lily, and then separated again after a moment. Lily saw some concern in those eyes. Do Mechanics have human emotions?
She silently wrote down this question and decided to ask her master about it next time.
She closed her eyes, listened to the gentle sound of wind, the undulating chirping of insects, the smell of the burning campfire, and the flowing water of the creek not far away, and slowly fell into sleep.
Yuffie's voice came to my ears.
"Wake up, Lily, hurry up."
Lily opened her eyes. She never slept too deeply in the wild, even if Alphonse took over the night watch. She looked around - the bonfire had not yet burned out, and Yuffie was standing where Alphonse had been, with a figure at her feet.
A pothole about one meter in diameter appeared out of nowhere.
"Come down quickly and watch your steps. We don't have much time to prepare." Yuffie whispered, "Go in here and walk forward. I'll be right back."
Lily turned over and jumped down. The slope at the entrance of the cave was very steep, but not too deep. She carefully descended inside, followed the narrow rock wall for a few steps, and then rounded a corner. A soft light suddenly filled her sight.
The cave in front of her was about two meters square. Alphonse stood in the inner corner. A light ball floated on the top of the cave, providing illumination. She raised her hand and touched the 'rock wall'. It was slightly uneven, as if it had just been
It has also been turned over.
A few minutes later, Bell mumbled and walked down, followed by Ed and Yuffie, who were holding hands. The young man looked at Lily with bleary eyes and doubts on his face. Lily shook her head, indicating that the young man did not need to worry.
"What's going on?" She stroked the back of the obsidian giant sword and looked at Yuffie.
"We have guests." Yuffie replied softly, stretching out her slender right hand, "Lily, Bell, Ed
And Alphonse, take my hand and close your eyes."
Lily did as she was told. The girl's hands had almost no body temperature, and she felt a strange touch extending upwards from her arms, directly to her brain - she suddenly 'saw' the scene outside, which overlapped with the scene inside the cave, which made her
She was dazzled. She quickly closed her eyes, and the scenery in the cave disappeared.
She seemed to be floating in the air, freely rotating, moving forward, rising or falling from time to time. At the same time, the feeling of her feet and body told her that she was still standing on solid ground. The conflict between the two senses made Lily feel a little dizzy.
, she stretched out her hand to support the wall, opened her eyes slightly, and saw Bell letting go of Yuffie's hand and sitting down on the ground.
"I feel dizzy while flying," the Beron man complained angrily.
"Shh." Yuffie lowered her voice and raised her finger to her lips, "They are coming."
Lily closed her eyes again. Thick dark clouds obscured Tess and most of the stars, but her sight could penetrate the darkness. A group of people walked carefully along the edge of the forest, some wearing dark leather armor and trousers.
, the rest were in simple clothes. Everyone held a crossbow or a long sword in their hand, and a sharp dagger in their waist. She counted them, eighteen in total.
And in front of them was the camping spot of the Lilinono Regiment.
"Yuffie...?"
"It's an enemy." The girl replied briefly, "We'll talk about the specific reason later. Can I trouble you about the battle?"
"Then there's no need to ask." Lily lifted up the giant sword and waved it twice, "Let's face it, it's not the 'robber' that the stubborn uncle found, right?"
Yuffie was silent for a moment and looked away slightly, "You guessed it right."
"Well..." Lily glanced at Ed. The boy still didn't seem to understand the situation. "Is it okay to kill him?"
"It's better not to compare...but we are enemies after all." Yuffie sighed softly and put her hand on Lily's chest. Lily lowered her head and found that she gradually became transparent, and finally her entire body and the stone sword disappeared.
in the air.
She touched her cheek with her invisible hand in amusement, and saw Bell slowly disappearing from her eyes.
"Be careful not to trip later." Yuffie took her hand and walked towards the passage on the other side of the stone room. "Of course... we still need a few 'witnesses'."
They poked their heads out from the exit of the passage, less than twenty meters away from the attacker. No one noticed them.
Yuffie stretched out her five fingers forward and recited the spell silently. The spell hit the group of people closest to them. They shook a few times and fell to the ground, making a few muffled sounds.
The attackers looked at each other and couldn't figure out what happened for a moment. Lily jumped out of the passage and arched her body. Yuffie quickly moved her fingers and threw the second spell silently.
A ball of light exploded among the attackers, and the people closest to the source covered their eyes and screamed. The light turned into bright dust and fell, covering their bodies - at this night, it was as bright as a beacon in the harbor.
.
Lily quickly rushed towards the opponent and waved the stone sword in her hand. The spine of the sword whizzed and hit a man in black on the back, sending him flying completely. This blow was not full force, but it was enough to knock most people out in a short time.
Can't get up.
"Your Grandpa Bell is here!"
Bellon's voice arrived before him. Bell held the scimitar behind his back and slashed at the attacker's wrists and ankles with the back of the blade. The crisp sound of broken bones and the attacker's screams of pain were heard one after another.
The attackers seemed to have only received simple training, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to Lily and Bell. However, they pounced on the two of them without hesitation, and even without fear of death. Several paper packages flew towards Lily, and she turned her head.
It shattered behind her, and white dust outlined her figure.
Enemies surrounded her from all sides. She tried her best to fend off the attack that stabbed her vital part, but a dagger opened a ten-centimeter gash in her leg. There was a vague numbness in the wound, and the whole leg seemed to be inoperable.
Bell turned the blade and cut off an attacker in half. Even though he lost his entire lower body, the man in black still hugged Bell's legs tightly. Lily heard Bellon's painful groan coming from the crowd.
"I'm sorry." Her eyes turned cold, and her pupils seemed to be shining dimly in the starry night, "We didn't want to be like this."
More than a dozen radiant magic missiles passed by her, repelling the crowd surrounding her. Magic could easily cause accidental damage during the melee, so Yuffie and Alphonse could only choose spells that were less powerful but easier to control.
Lily threw the stone sword straight forward, and the obsidian giant sword whirled, knocking over an unlucky guy. What followed was a real storm.
She shuttled back and forth among the enemy formations like a leopard. Her fists, elbows, knees, feet, and even her head and teeth were all deadly weapons. The attackers waved their long swords and attacked the air in vain.
Broken throat bones, broken noses, broken necks, heavy blows to the jaws, or detached shoulder joints with bare hands - no enemy could survive ten seconds under her hands, and the wailing sounds were one after another.
After a while, none of the attackers could continue fighting. Lily clapped her hands - which were covered with blood and a small amount of minced meat - feeling a little uninterested. She liked fighting, but that was with powerful monsters or beasts.
, rather than these same species.
"It's over." She shouted to Yuffie, walking towards her giant sword and holding it in her hand again.
