“?!”

"superior!"

"Catch them!!"

Immediately after the two sides looked at each other for a while and confirmed their eyes, as the leader of the soldier waved his hand, the soldiers who were originally escorting the prisoners pulled out their respective weapons and shields and rushed towards Annie and the furnace knight behind Annie!

“??”

()

pity……

There was no big surprise. For some reason, I saw a group of people waving their weapons and rushing towards me, and it seemed that they wanted to chop and kill and catch them. Seeing that situation, Annie naturally couldn't be too spoiled by the other party!

then……

Without waiting for the furnace knight uncle behind him to come up to help, nor did he let the bear take action. She froze those people one by one with a small trick.

Frost Ring: Summon a rotating Frost Ring at the target area and freeze any enemies entering or touching the ring.

“!!”

The furnace knight originally wanted to go up and show off and chop the soldiers over, but after seeing Annie subdued everyone instantly, he had to stop and put away the sword in his hand in disappointment.

"What?"

"Uhhhh!"

"this!"

"What's this?"

"not good!"

"My feet!"

At this time, when they saw that the parts below their knees were frozen to the ground by a strange and bone-broken ice, and found that they could no longer move, the soldiers suddenly panicked and began to smash them hard with fists, weapons, shields, etc.

But unfortunately, their approach did not work, and then they had to face up to the little girl they wanted to catch just now on the shoulders of a bear.

"she……"

"Who is she?"

"Stargazer?"

"No……"

“Yes, yes…”

"Fall, fade?!"

Then, while they continued to struggle and chop the ice, they did not forget to use that terrifying and uneasy expression toward a terrifying little girl who was riding on the shoulders of the giant bear and walking towards them step by step.

But fear was useless. They soon saw that the terrible little girl directly ordered the giant bear to walk to them and stared at them from a high place.

"Hey!"

()

"Uncle, tell me, what crime did they commit? Why did they arrest them?"

(ψｍｏ)o

"And! Why do you want to attack others?"

('^)

Annie ignored the soldiers and asked directly at the boss who was still holding the weapon in her hand.

What she had just heard and saw was the one in front of her who gave orders and kept secretly at the end, but that was useless. Queen Anne was not stupid, she had already discovered the other party.

“…”

The leader didn't say anything, but just tried and struggled for a while.

Unfortunately, when he found that he could not get rid of the bone-broken ice under his feet, he also found that the giant bear sitting on the little girl seemed very intimidating, staring at them with a terrible look, making them look like they were staring at by a giant dragon. After he really didn't have the courage to resist, he had to honestly explain:

"them……"

"She is the sacrifice that the demigod ordered to bring back!"

"We caught it from the foot of the Storm outside the city..."

The soldier leader was a bachelor, and he honestly explained that they were ordered to go out to search for suitable strong men and normal people as sacrifices.

Of course, it also includes the consequences of the "sacrificial gifts" and why they couldn't wait to order the attack after seeing Anne and the furnace knight behind Anne.

turn out to be……

The reason why this city has become like this is not only the shattering of the Eldon Ring of Law, the severance of the blessings of the divine tree and the war, but the more important reason is that the lord here, that "limbing" Grek, the old and ugly demigod king, was at work?

At the end of the Fragment War, the guy hurriedly fled from the royal city of Rodelli to Stoneville and settled down here.

Then, in order to become stronger, the guy cruelly ordered his subordinates to collect living people, strong men and all kinds of strange things everywhere. Then, he used their limbs to conduct various experiments and tried to force them to get stronger in that way?

"Limb-joining?"

(**;)

"Demigod?"

(ー`ー)

Demigods and other things don't matter, what's important is...

Annie seemed to suddenly remember, as if she had touched and chopped a guy alive before she met the strange little sister Melina and was teleported to Nimgefort by the other party. The guy was indeed accompanied by all kinds of weird and disgusting hands and feet, and it looked like a disgusting big spider?

If she remembered correctly, when she was talking to Miss Melina, she heard the other party telling her that the guy she had chopped seemed to be a descendant of a noble who had "limbed"?

“…”

(ー△ー;)

Of course, that's not the most important thing, now the most important thing is:

Before, she seemed to be near the city of Stoneville, and then was teleported to the wilderness of Nimgfo by Melina, but now she is ready, and she is running back here herself?

And...

If she remembered correctly, the chapel of the princes she appeared before should be on an island on the sea behind Stoneville Castle on the cliff?

(…)

(●￣()￣●)

"That's it!"

(へ╬)

"You go back and tell that person what to do, tell the guy, just say that these people were rescued by the great Queen Anne!"

(o'з'*)

"I will definitely not let you take them away!"

('΀Δ)!

"Now, you can get out."

☆(o*)

After saying that, Anne, who was a little embarrassed and angry that she seemed to have done something stupid, waved her hand and instantly used magic to freeze those people and burned and melted the weapons in their hands with flames. Then she said so generously.

She wondered if these soldiers were doing the right thing, nor did she want to know if the prisoners had really made a mistake. Anyway, she only knew that since she had encountered her, Queen Anne, she must have been in charge of it, so they can go back to their own houses now.

“…”

“…”

Seeing the freezing, I looked at the hands of the fire that had been burned for no reason and melted into red iron juice, leaving only the weapon with the handle. While the soldiers staggered back in surprise and shouted and threw it away, they looked at their leader with a very ugly expression, wanting to wait for the other party's order.

"You want to save them?"

"You can't stop it, useless..."

"What's the use of stopping?"

"This is a world that is destined to be destroyed..."

Surprisingly, the soldier leader first threw away the melted weapon and the still intact shield in frustration, and then looked at a little girl sitting on the shoulder of a giant bear with a depressed and bitter look on her face and said in a deep voice.

“??”

(~)

"Talking nonsense! Nothing is destined to be destroyed!"

(˙o˙)

"Anyway, you guys get out of here!"
