Chapter 120: Full speed ahead
The scene fell into a suffocating silence. Jeppard was still thinking about it. It was a question whether to believe in Bronya or Cocolia.
Xiluwa also realized that this trick was actually very useful. She originally thought that her brother would never believe it and would rush over to catch them on the spot, shouting "Great Guardian" and "Loyalty".
I didn't expect that he actually listened to me.
"Jepard, are you... okay?" It was really not her fault that she was biased as an elder sister, but being stuck here was not a solution. They had to take an attitude, whether they agreed or still didn't understand, and they couldn't afford to waste time.
The blond guard closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I understand. You guys go ahead."
San Yue Qi was overjoyed: "Really? You finally believe that we are not bad people!"
Jeppard: "I am the guard officer of the Silver Mane Iron Guard. It is my duty to follow the orders of the Great Guardian."
Xing was a little confused when he heard this half sentence, "How about you think about it for a while?"
He then sighed again, "But Miss Bronya is the actual commander of the front line. According to military regulations, when the front-line command conflicts with the orders of the city builders in the rear, they should wait for further orders on the spot."
How could Cheng An not know what this meant? "When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders." She immediately gave him a thumbs up.
Xing: "Good boy, you've played me like this." You understand the bug.
It was not known whether he felt a little shy after receiving so many approving looks from people, or he realized that his change of attitude was a bit opportunistic, but he coughed unnaturally and turned his gaze away.
"For the Silvermane Iron Guard, the orders of the Guardian are supreme and absolute. But in the oath, there is something equally important as her orders."
Once the discussion returned to these most important matters, Jeppard regained his original composure and seriousness.
Shiluwa understood what he meant, "The people of Beloberg."
Jeppard: "Yes, if you can really stop the growing disaster, then everyone in Beloberg owes you a debt of gratitude."
"But if you are using lies to cover up your true purpose and use Bronya and my sister, I swear to Creeper that I will punish you mercilessly."
Cheng An: "Okay, okay, don't worry, we will do our job to your satisfaction."
She is upright and has nothing to fear from her own shadow, nor is she afraid of these threats.
Jeppard finally took a serious look at the strange girl. "Are you the Cheng An mentioned in Miss Bronya's letter? You showed no fear in front of us. You are very strong and courageous."
She nodded. "Thank you very much. It is our duty as a pure knight to help others when we see injustice. Thank you very much, Miss Bronya, for remembering to mention me."
Although she didn't explicitly say who was "unfair", they didn't seem to notice anything wrong with her words.
Jeppard nodded slightly and turned back to indicate the direction of the door they were guarding, which was almost separated from the dangerous area of the Rift.
"If you want to continue heading north, you have to cross a completely eroded rift to reach the snowfield on the other side."
"The Iron Guard can still buy some time before the next wave of attacks arrives."
"Once the gate to the restricted area is opened, the monsters on the other side will come out in droves. All the Silver Mane Guards can do is to delay the enemy as much as possible and buy you some time."
"Wait, that's actually not necessary." Cheng An interrupted him as he looked like he was ready to die heroically.
"We can go by ourselves. If you follow us, it will only cause more casualties. Even if these ordinary people don't die, they will be corroded by the rift, right? There is no need to do this."
Those monsters were not very dense in their memories, but each one was very difficult to deal with at the time, so they could never gain an advantage.
But the situation is different now. Cheng An has combat power that she has never experienced in the game before. She is no longer the newbie she was back then.
Even if it was an intensive attack, Cheng An believed that he and Teacher Dan Heng could handle it.
Hearing her suggestion, Jeppard frowned, "The monsters on the other side of the Rift are not the ordinary enemies you see every day. Their terror should not be underestimated. It's too dangerous for you to rely on just a few people."
Cheng An: "We didn't underestimate it. I'm telling the truth."
"Besides, since it's dangerous, wouldn't it be better to let more of your men live? This is not the first time I've fought a world-shattering monster, or even a bunch of monsters. You know that, right, Teacher Dan Heng?"
At the end of her speech, she raised her chin in the direction of Danheng, signaling her teammates to bear witness for her.
Considering that this was indeed true, Dan Heng nodded without changing his expression, "She didn't lie, I believe Cheng An can do it."
It was so right, this was exactly the kind of recognition she needed.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all acquaintances and she didn't want to act too rudely and hurt everyone's feelings, Cheng An would have wanted to stop Cocolia first.
Although Jeppard was worried because his sister was in that team, the girl's attitude was very sincere, without a trace of reluctance or lying, and she seemed to really want to reduce the sacrifice of the Iron Guards.
"We can stay behind and see what happens. If you are really as strong as you say you are, we will withdraw. This way, we can provide timely support if something unexpected happens."
"Okay." She nodded, indicating that the door could be opened.
The cold wind from the outer rift world blew up the howling of ice and snow, and the howling of monsters and the sounds of fighting could be heard from time to time.
As Jeppard opened the door, all these sounds came to his ears at once. As expected, many monsters from the Rift Valley had extremely sensitive perceptions and rushed over here as soon as the door was opened a little.
Of course, Cheng An would not miss this opportunity to gain trust. She covered her long sword with fire and chopped the flying monster in front with one sword.
And this was just the beginning. Everyone in the train crew and Xier rushed out of the door with her. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and sabers, and lights of power of all colors and attributes.
Dan Heng and Cheng An rushed to the front, with Xing in the middle swinging his baseball bat vigorously, and behind them were San Yue Qi and Xiluwa providing cover for everyone.
The team, which already had good combat power, cooperated well. Cheng An's battle process was like chopping melons and vegetables and stir-frying them. Not only was the sword in her hand very lethal, but the flames that fell to the ground could also spread out for long-range attacks.
If the monsters are sparse, strike accurately. If the monsters are dense, kill three with one sword. The main attack is to use great force to make bricks fly. There is no skill involved, only emotion.
This combination enabled them to clear out the monsters at an extremely fast speed, with few injuries.
Now Jeppard and his group who were watching from behind really believed it.
They stared with eyes wide open as they watched a few people defeat the enemy with the combat power of several of their teams. They were all filled with awe and subtle shock.
Are these the outsiders? They are so scary. Fortunately, I didn't fight with them just now.
At this stage, we really don't need their support. As agreed, the blond guard officer led the iron guards back to the checkpoint gate, which looked much quieter, and watched those people marching forward bravely from afar.
Hoping that his sister and the outsider could successfully resolve the cold wave, he silently wished in his heart that Beloberg would have a hopeful future.
