Chapter 27 On the Rooftop at Dusk

  Fina's terrifying saturation bombing thoroughly tore open the last iron wall of the Scarlet Flame Legion and turned the streets behind Mide and others into ruins, completely blocking the threat of pursuing troops.

  This is... from being surrounded to breaking out, then falling into despair again, and now it's hope. After several ups and downs, Siegmund couldn't speak anymore.

  Lilian was staring blankly at the sky illuminated by the brilliance of the magic bullet, as if she had forgotten that she was still on the battlefield.

  "This is 'Cross Slash', a kind of super-strong version of magic bullet, exclusively owned by Feena." Middy replied with a smile.

  Fina's firepower coverage appearing here is neither a miracle nor a coincidence, but also the result of Midie's careful calculation. Only in this calculation, there was no pre-war agreement. After all, this is a surprise attack, and the situation is changing rapidly, making it impossible to predict all responses.

  Midi was able to predict that Feina would be in the North because he was too familiar with this girl who had occupied the most important place in his heart, whether in his past life or present life.

  He knew that once the agreed gathering time had passed but the members were still not complete, Feena would never leave alone.

  He knew that even if faced with an army of ten thousand people, Feena would never abandon her companions.

  He also knew that with Fiona's current military judgment, she would definitely choose the north as the breakthrough point.

  But what he didn't expect was that Feina not only made judgments and took action, but also chose to trust herself. The red-haired girl did not lead the fifty warriors in a direct breakthrough, but instead waited patiently until Mide finally launched an internal attack and gave the signal, at which point she burst out with powerful firepower support.

  If it weren't for being one of the parties involved, who would have believed that this impeccably timed and seamlessly coordinated tactical operation relied solely on the tacit understanding between two people?

  Mi Di couldn't help but curve up the corners of her mouth and smile, a joyful smile filled with the happiness of being understood and trusted.

  This radiant smile contrasts with the rolling smoke and blood-soaked earth, the burning ruins, and the dark sky, yet it seems so out of place, but at the same time, it feels natural and matter-of-fact.

  Perhaps the outcome of this surprise attack was already decided from the moment Fiona chose to trust Middy.

  Let's go. Middy just said so briefly, Fiona is waiting for us.

  With these words, the raiders vanished into the darkness of night, leaving behind a burning Yorkshire as a gift to the Seth family and General Scarlet Fox.

  When the sun rose on the second day at dawn, the news of the first victory also swept through Astol like a whirlwind. It didn't need to be said that after going through the gates of hell together on the battlefield, many things would be understood without being spoken. Soon, the sky returned to its silence.

  Sigmund and Lilian left, but Fiona stayed behind.

  However, there was no conversation between the red-haired girl and the black-haired boy either.

  The two of them simply stood there in silence, gazing out at the distant crimson sunset, letting time quietly slip away. The air settled down around them, but it wasn't cold or heavy; on the contrary, it carried a nostalgic flavor, like the familiar yet strange scent that wafts up when you open an old book.

  Midi really likes this feeling, being with the red-haired girl, without saying anything, sharing the lovely sunset and lazy dusk together.

  But in fact, Feena was not calm at all.

  Just like when she saw Mide withstand the 35th level sword soul during the previous trial, the red-haired girl had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask and get to the bottom of, but she didn't want to take the initiative to speak up. However, Mide seemed to be extremely patient, which made her even more annoyed.

  Moreover, she found herself getting annoyed and flustered in front of this black-haired guy more and more often.

  Who knew this person had so many secrets!

  I said. Feena finally couldn't help but speak again, and once more in a nonchalant tone, she asked, "How did you know I was ambushing at the north?"

  Since you didn't choose to charge forward, then naturally you're laying an ambush. Midori replied with a matter-of-fact tone.

  So how did you know I was going north? The red-haired girl continued to ask.

  After a while, Midei's voice broke the silence: Because I know you will definitely support me in the most suitable position. Just as you believe that I will lead them out with certainty.

  You scoundrel...... A hint of anger crept into the tone of the red-haired girl.

  It's only natural, because Midy's answer was too vague and ambiguous, it can be said that it was deceiving. The girl's anger didn't stop there, the reason she got angry wasn't just because of this ambiguous answer, but also because when she first heard this answer, she actually felt happy.

  For a moment, Fiona had an urge to give him a magical bullet and clear the world of him, but in the end, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  What's wrong? This time, Mi Di really didn't understand what was going on.

  Nothing much. The red-haired girl replied loudly in a refreshing tone, as if she had let go of something.

  This guy must be hiding something from himself. After this battle, Feena was almost certain. Whether it was her understanding of herself or her coordination with him, or that gaze that made people feel uncomfortable, all of these things made Feena unable to help but wonder - had she and he ever met before?

  But now that this guy is unwilling to speak, it's better to let him off for the time being. After all, they've worked so hard to fight, consider it a reward.

  Anyway, there's still a long way to go.
