Klein: "What are you doing? @Su Lin"

Klein: 【Image】 【Image】

It was a beautiful young girl with slightly pale but lustrous skin, black hair hanging down to her vest, and books held in her arms.

At this moment, amidst the coming and going crowd, the girl looked up and stared blankly at the six-winged angel above the church.

Klein: "Why are you showing yourself in front of Melissa? Do you have any idea how important covert operations are?!"

After finishing his prayer and agreeing on future action plans with the Earth Angel, Ms. Arianna, Klein arrived at the home of Dwayne Dantès by swapping positions with his marionette, Enuni.

Through the angle of the window and the pigeon marionette bitten by a cat above the church, Klein saw the scene of Su Lin perched high on the clock tower. Coincidentally, Melissa turned her head at this moment and saw Su Lin.

The pigeon watched as a white bead fell to its feet, opened its mouth, and spat out Klein's voice: "Wait, what are you doing?!"

A phantom of Su Lin appeared on the white bead rolling on a rooftop, and he made a gesture of lifting his foot.

"Speed is power." The phantom Su Lin said to the pigeon fluttering to take flight: "Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

The phantom dissipated, and the pigeon marionette in mid-air vanished along with it, leaving behind only scattered pigeon feathers.

Klein: "For Melissa, these supernatural things are still too early!"

Su Lin: "You look exactly like a mother hen who worries about everything."

Su Lin: "Didn't she come into contact with the supernatural by the end of the book?"

Klein: "As her brother, I would rather she not come into contact with these."

Su Lin: "I just pulled the church bell rope. I couldn't help it if she happened to turn her head to look."

Klein: "Sigh."

Xiao Yan: "Your sister is very beautiful. A script has been born in my mind at this very scene."

Klein: "You'd better shut up."

Su Lin: "This is not something to be said..."

Xiao Yan: "The moment the girl looks back, an angel meets her gaze. In an instant, it is eternity. A fantasy-style romantic comedy has begun."

Klein: "You king of trash talk..."

Elaina: "How should I put it? It's indeed very lethal to those young girls. It's like a scene from the female-oriented anime I watched recently."

Song Song Shuhang: "Kissing relatives?"

Zhang Zhang Chulan: "Song Song Shuhang, are you still alive..."

Song Song Shuhang: "I was saved by Senior Bai who rushed back."

Song Song Shuhang glanced at Elaina on the lion head of the bow of the Sunlight Lion. The other party was whistling, turned her head guiltily to look at Song Song Shuhang, and then quickly turned her head away.

Klein: "Hehe, what Melissa likes most are gears and machinery."

Logically speaking, whether it was Benson or Melissa, Klein would be very happy if they found someone they liked.

However, Klein shivered. No, no, no. These two are absolutely incompatible. Melissa is not the type to be love-struck. Besides, people in this era are full of awe for mythical creatures.

Klein began his technique of changing the subject.

Klein: "Business is important. The Feysac Empire's fleet is here. I'm logging off first."

Not long after, when a vast, thick cloud layer arrived above Backlund, it gradually dissipated to reveal the airship fleet hidden within.

Fifth Epoch, October 13, 130, Thursday, Backlund.

A large and orderly Feysac airship force cut in from the North Borough and arrived above this metropolis.

These were the special envoys from the Feysac Empire, and they were about to "deliver" a declaration of war to the Loen Kingdom.

Just as people living at the bottom do not know the information possessed by those in power, news between gods will not be passed to the human world. Even the acting angels do not know the essence of this war.

This script written by the Visionary Angel Adam was both accidental and inevitable. Or rather, even without His guidance, this war would have broken out, perhaps in the future or perhaps in the past.

In terms of human society, social class contradictions are constantly intensifying. Whether it is Loen or the Feysac Empire, the contradictions between all classes in the country are in an intensified state, and there is an urgent need for a war—

An external war.

Transferring internal contradictions to the outside is very reasonable and is also a common political means.

Loen's King George III was happy to see this war begin, which meant that the people would become his anchors when he became a god under his encouragement.

Moreover, for the sake of the ritual to become a god, George did many things to intensify contradictions. This war was what he craved. Even if the Feysac Kingdom didn't come to his door, he would still go to war.

First was the repeal of the "Corn Laws," dealing a fatal blow to the political power of large landowners. Industrial capitalists and workers benefited, and the conflict of interest between agriculture and manufacturing officially began.

Second was the unified examination for government employees. The power of traditional nobles was diverted and weakened. Government employees with the civilian class as the mainstream participated in the competition for power, and the bourgeoisie was partially affected.

Finally, through the incident of "royal family members trafficking humans," he admitted his mistake to the Orthodox Churches through this legitimate reason, introduced church forces into the military, and the nobles had to grit their teeth and acquiesce to this fact.

And various other events, big and small.

Any one of these things taken alone could cause a huge impact, but they have been staged one after another in the past few years, and there is simply no time for natural digestion.

As for the Feysac Empire, that is even more interesting.

The royal family of the Feysac Empire, the Einhorn family, holds the Red Priest (Hunter) pathway. The benefits they can seize through war are no worse than those of George III. Through this war, they can create quite a few demigods and even one or two angels.

The occupation of the key territory of Sonia Island can allow them to set their sights on the entire continent from now on, and the entanglement of colonial interests will no longer exist. Their interests in colonization will be maximized.

If this war is won, Loen will never be able to compete with the Feysac Empire again. After the opponent disappears, the loss of grain export revenue brought about by Loen's repeal of the Corn Laws can also be made up for.

But all of this is just a superficial phenomenon.

The Feysac Empire is dominated by the Church of the God of Combat, while Loen is dominated by the Night and the Storm.

After the Evernight Goddess accommodated the "Death" pathway and noticed this, the God of Combat, who is in an adjacent pathway, could not sit still.

He could not ignore this matter and would inevitably make a fierce response.

This is a dispute of sequences, a dispute where there is me without you, and there is you without me.

As the organized airship fleet pointed their full muzzles and guns downward, this dispute officially began!

But places like the Saint Storm Cathedral of the Church of the Storm seemed to have some preparations. The sound of the wind suddenly became intense, turning into one giant cyan-black blade after another, whistling towards the target, just like anti-aircraft defense missiles.

And when these giant black blades were about to slash into the air sacs of the airship formation, an invisible defense stood out, blocking all attacks outside.

In the violent strike, this transparent "wall" became shaky, but it finally held up.

Bang!

Strings of fire snakes poured out from the machine gun muzzles on the airship hulls, the muzzles and throwing ports opened one after another, ammunition was loaded, and bombs were ejected.

A hurricane rose, and the explosive sound spread in all directions. Countless bullets turned into scrap iron and fell, and the shells exploded in mid-air, turning into balls of fire.

Like a man-eating wave on the sea, waves of hurricanes intensified and attacked the airship fleet in the sky. Those airships were like flat boats on the sea, ready to be wrapped and swallowed by the waves at any time.

Just at this moment.

From the lead airship, a flash of light like blood and rust blended together, covering all its companions and connecting them one by one.

These airships became a whole, combined from small boats into a giant ship, no longer shaken by the wind and waves.

There was a Sequence 3 "War Bishop" on it! This is the authority of the War Bishop!

The first impression Hunter gives people is provocation and setting traps, but when it reaches a high sequence, the high-level power belongs to war, and war is the art of gathering crowds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The artillery connection was completed one after another. Under the influence of the War Bishop's authority, the trajectories of these bombs became unpredictable even to themselves.

Disorderly, but they would hit the target.

Boom! Boom!

The salvo of the ship's guns was like a ritual salute, fully displaying the joy of the God of War.

After a burst of firepower, the airship fleet did not linger in the area covered by the Church of the Storm, but fired along the way after entering the North Borough, and then planned to turn to the West Borough immediately.

The North Borough has Backlund Technical University and Backlund Medical College, which belongs to Loen's talent center.

The West Borough is the political center of the Loen Kingdom. The Kingdom's Upper and Lower Houses, various departments, City Hall, and the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance are all clustered around Memorial Square.

In the Feysac Empire's strategic deployment, the route of this surprise attack can maximize the realization of strategic significance.

There is no such regulation as international conventions in this world. Maximize the killing of enemies, regardless of whether there are civilians present.

Of course, if Su Lin and Senior Zhongli were not present in these two areas, their goal might have really been achieved.

Inside Backlund Technical University

A smile appeared on Melissa's lips. Was it just a hallucination or was it real? Who knows? Perhaps this means today is a lucky day.

Perhaps that was an angel of the Evernight Goddess...

She thought silently in her heart, because that meant Klein might be sleeping in the kingdom of the Evernight Goddess.

This made Melissa's faith even firmer.

"After I return to the embrace of the Goddess, our family can still be reunited..."

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air came. Before Melissa could react, suddenly, an iron-gray thing fell from the sky and landed in the center of the square.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, all the glass of the main teaching building was shattered, and with the scorching heat wave, Melissa staggered and stood firm.

Countless screams sounded, and Melissa threw all her previous thoughts to the back of her mind. Like other students, she fled in panic, not knowing what had happened.

This girl was only sixteen years old at this time. Like most peers in the Loen hinterland, they had never seen war.

Melissa hid behind a tree, rolling smoke appeared from the front, and she looked at the place where the explosion had just occurred.

The steam train head placed in the center of the school square was already torn apart. The symbol representing industry now only had a pile of parts and iron sheets that were not completely melted scattered on the ground.

But these were not the point.

"Carter, Eudora, Lex..."

Her classmates were scattered on the ground like these parts, including their limbs...

Su Lin watched this scene silently in the gaps of history, while those small white balls hidden in the campus collapsed into tiny light particles invisible to the naked eye and drilled into the bodies of these students who still had bodies.

At least they could save their lives for the time being.

The bombing continued, and the booming sounds came from the buildings of the teaching building and other parts of the campus.

Su Lin looked up at the airship above his head, letting them fly over his head and turn towards the West Borough. He had mixed feelings, and his ears were full of helpless cries and wails.

The white beads in this area shattered one after another, and the light elements outlined a ritual in this area by means of micro-manipulation, and the thick vitality rose.

Except for those who were smashed to pieces directly at the center of the bombing, the number of sacrifices this time would be very small.

Su Lin asked Klein if Adam would notice the clues.

"With Ms. Arianna providing concealment, He will treat it as one or two saints granting protection, as long as your tracks are not discovered."

Compared to being discovered by Adam as outsiders not in the script, Klein would rather reduce some unnecessary casualties. Of course, the premise is not to affect the overall trend.

Su Lin and Senior Zhongli can be exposed, but definitely not now, and even less can they be involved with Him now.

In the distance in the West Borough, some tiny golden lights almost invisible to the naked eye flew up and shattered some of the shells in the dense barrage. This was a rune laid out by Senior Zhongli in advance.

"Sigh."

Su Lin sighed again, gave Melissa, who was running towards the subway entrance, a secret blessing, and after paying special attention to several seriously injured students and teachers, Su Lin disappeared from the spot and no longer looked at this tragic scene.

The subway was indeed not yet out of service, but no one was checking tickets anymore.

When the subway arrived at the King's Avenue station in the West Borough, Melissa squeezed through the influx of people and rushed out of the subway station against the flow.

As far as the eye could see, it was a mess. Occasionally buildings collapsed, wall bricks and tiles were scattered on the ground along with some broken limbs and flesh. There were passersby who did not know whether they were alive or dead lying on the streets and in the ruins. Shouts, screams, and orders came one after another.

She brushed shoulders with a tall man with light brown hair and golden eyes.

"He will be fine."

A magnetic voice came from Melissa's ear. She turned her head to look behind her but found that it was all a crowd of people fleeing in panic.

When she arrived in front of the four-story building where the Kingdom's Ministry of Finance was located, only twisted iron frames remained on the glass windows of the exquisite building. Broken glass was scattered on the ground, and there were dense bullet holes on the walls, with some traces of explosions remaining in some places.

Soldiers were maintaining order, forbidding others from entering, including her.

Melissa's eyes turned red, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly.

"Why did you come here?!" A familiar voice came.

Melissa looked back and saw Benson's eyes filled with anger and panic. He seemed not to understand why she appeared here.

He was holding a thermos cup in his hand. It was like an illusion, Melissa saw a golden light flowing over the thermos cup.

When Su Lin returned to reality from Ms. Arianna's secret power and stepped into the Nightingale Tavern, Elsa with bright red wavy hair and Dren Esso with deep nasolabial folds greeted him with fear in their eyes.

Dren Esso only now understood that today's employee team-building was definitely not a coincidence.

The Feysac people attacked the university in the North Borough. This Nightingale Tavern was in the North Borough but was close to the city center, and was not affected much. Moreover, there was a Church of the Mechanical Heart not far away.

Of course, as long as it was not in the center area of the strike of that War Bishop, as a Sequence 4 Law Magician, he was fully capable of protecting this tavern.

He didn't need to, Dren Esso saw some stray bullets falling nearby, and the shrapnel was blocked by an invisible barrier.

In the morning, this existence said that he was going to the center of the North Borough. According to the telegram news just now, the center of the North Borough was the first place to be bombed.

This...

Dren Esso suppressed the doubts in his heart and said to Su Lin:

"Except for a small number, most of the employees and their families have arrived. Thank you for your kindness."

"They have now hidden in the negative first floor."

When war strikes, these underground spaces are relatively much safer. Fortunately, the negative first floor here was previously used as a hidden store, otherwise some would have panicked and wanted to flee at the first time.

Su Lin smiled and didn't say anything. When he walked into the negative first floor of the tavern, some employees were full of anxiety, and some were hugging their families.

Today is Thursday, and not all employees' families could come to participate. Some older children even had to go to school.

Su Lin scanned the circle, walked to a corner, and asked Dren Esso:

"Didn't Macarou come today?"

A cash lottery was arranged today. He thought that Macarou's obsession with money would definitely make her come.

"No, her family has a child's birthday." Dren Esso explained. Only then did he remember that he had once paid attention to this waiter. He cursed himself in his heart, blaming himself for not keeping Macarou.

"She has children?"

"It's a small non-public orphanage." Dren Esso corrected his wording, "It can't be called an orphanage, it's just a group of orphans living in a three-story building in the suburbs."

"Macarou takes care of them."

"It's located in the suburbs below the West Borough, so it shouldn't be involved."

"West Borough..." Su Lin hesitated for a moment, "Where is her home? No, forget it."

Dren Esso thought that Su Lin's "forget it" meant not to continue to pay attention to this matter. After all, he was an angel. Although he walked in the human world, he would not be a nanny for mortals in every detail.

Su Lin grabbed Dren Esso's shoulder and pulled him into the corridor at the corner. In Elsa's surprised eyes, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared along with Dren Esso.

The next moment, Su Lin brought Dren Esso into the sky. In the distance, he could still see the Feysac fleet.

"You take me to see."

Damn it... The internet has been down for more than 20 minutes. I thought the web version was blown up. I moved next month's leave note to this month, redeemed it, and then the network was restored?! Are you playing with me!
