Princess Anna was not the most outstanding witch in terms of height, dress, or appearance. For the convenience of construction, she tied her soft hair into a ponytail. Although the uniform was the only style designed by His Majesty, it did not seem to take aesthetics and comfort into account. The cuffs and collar were tightly bound together. Also, because of the long time spent in the wild, the clothes looked a little dusty. If it was the first time seeing such a scene, it would be impossible to associate her with the Queen of Graycastle.
But Molly was very envious.
Because even if she did not know the identity of the Queen, she would know that she must be an important person. The people around Anna were all senior officials of Neverwinter, such as Carr Van Bate, the Minister of Construction, Edith Kant, the head of the General Staff, and so on. The direction of the railway, the speed of progress, and the construction arrangements all needed to be discussed with Princess Anna. In other words, even if she was not a witch, she was still the focus of everyone's attention.
Although Molly couldn't understand what they were discussing, she still felt that Anna, who was standing at a high place and looking into the distance, holding a map and gesticulating with everyone, was really cool.
Especially her pair of lake-blue eyes, which shone like a flawless gem when she was concentrating on her work.
In front of such a person, whether it was a new recruit or an old soldier, they would involuntarily pay their respects.
Molly thought for a while and finally decided not to disturb Princess Anna. Instead, she drove her magic servant to avoid the crowd and unloaded the railway in the yard area.
"You went to the forest again?" As soon as the railway was put down, Shavi stuck her head out from behind a pile of bricks.
Molly had a bad premonition.
She ran to the pile of bricks and saw a familiar playing card on the ground.
"Well, if it isn't little Molly," Andrea grinned.
Beside her was a witch who seemed to be at a loss, Maggie.
"How could you laze around and play cards here!" Molly shouted. "If people find out, what will they think of our Sleeping Spell? I'm going to tell Lady Tilly! "
"Yes... they forced me to come here." Maggie lowered her head and pointed at her index finger.
"Who's slacking off?" Shavi was unconvinced. "I brought these red bricks down from the train. Otherwise, the workers would still be unloading them. I'm only relaxing after I'm done with my work. How is that considered slacking off? "
"You have to know that work and afternoon tea are equally important. Being able to juggle both is the most elegant way of doing things." Andrea stroked her golden hair and said, "Besides, with Maggie here, I'm sure no one will find us. After all, it's not allowed to involve Lady Tilly. You can rest assured about this. By the way, do you want to join us? No matter what, four people is more interesting than three people. "
"Of course not —" Just as Molly was about to refuse, she was interrupted by an urgent alarm.
"Wu — — Wu — — Wu — —"
Three trumpets meant that the enemy had been discovered!
She hurriedly looked to the northeast, but she could see nothing except the mottled snow and weeds that had not completely melted.
"It's either Sylvie or Lightning who discovered the enemy. If they issued a warning from that distance, you won't be able to see them." Shavi reminded her.
"Oh no — Princess Anna!" Molly suddenly thought of the Queen of Graycastle who was still at the front line of the railway. She had heard more than once that Anna's ability was irreplaceable for His Majesty and Neverwinter. Since that was the case, she had to bring Anna back safely.
Before she could take two steps, she was caught by Shavi.
"Princess Anna naturally has guards around her. You won't be of much help even if you go there now." Shavi shook her head. "Even with the speed of the flying demons, they have at least 10 to 15 minutes to prepare before they find the enemy, which is enough time for them to hide. And according to the principle of avoiding danger, if there's no combat mission arranged in advance, the first thing to do when encountering an unexpected enemy is to protect yourself, and then approach the First Army, Taquila God's Punishment Witches, or other combat teams. "
"So you don't have to go anywhere, just focus on protecting me." Andrea was already standing on top of the brick pile with her spear. "Next is my job."
Just as Shavi said, when Molly climbed up the pile of bricks, the huge construction site was already empty, as though the bustling scene from before had never happened. She could vaguely see human heads surging in the trenches. Black guns were set up, and the train had also stopped moving. The entire front line was suddenly filled with a chilling atmosphere.
"Sylvie, did you discover the enemy?" Andrea took out a Sigil of Listening from her bosom. "How many?"
"… No, it's Lightning's warning." After a while, Andrea replied from the Sigil. "The enemy seems to only have four Devilbeasts carrying Mad Demons on their backs, and they're on your right. There's no sign of Senior Demons."
"Only four? Seems like it's just a chance encounter. "
"Maybe, but don't let your guard down," Sylvie warned. "You should be able to see them in five minutes."
A moment later, the demons arrived as promised. The four black shadows were particularly eye-catching under the clear sky. Undoubtedly, they had also seen the railway line on the Fertile Plains. But strangely, the demons did not immediately attack, but hovered in the distance.
"Why are they hesitating?" Shavi frowned. "This doesn't seem like the style of demons."
"Can you hit them?" Molly asked.
"No, they're too far away." Andrea shrugged. "Even if I toss all the coins, none of them will stand up. Of course, there's another way — "
Molly automatically ignored the part that she did not understand. "What way?"
"For example … changing to a bigger gun." Andrea smiled and pointed to the side of the brick pile. "Can I borrow your Magic Servant?"
At this moment, Molly noticed that there was an astonishingly large firearm placed there. Just the barrel alone was more than a meter long. At the same time, she immediately understood what the other party meant. It was impossible for a single person to operate such a heavy weapon.
"Do you … also carry this when you play cards?"
"It's all thanks to Maggie." Andrea spread out her hands. "And it's only a basic requirement for a warrior to carry a weapon that might be useful with you."
Molly did not say anything. She raised her hand and summoned her Magic Servant, grabbed the huge firearm, and put it on top of her head. At the same time, she ordered Momota to lower its body and spread out into an oval cushion.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring you with me last time." Andrea laid on top of the gun and tried to feel it. "This gun seat is much more comfortable than Ashes'. Raise your head a little. Yes, this is the angle. "
"What about now?" Molly adjusted the shape of the servant.
"Just right. By the way, can you shrink its arm? As small as the thickness of a finger. "
"That's not a problem … but it won't be able to grab heavy objects this way."
"That's okay. Just keep it like this." Andrea stuffed the shrunken servant's arm into her ear and then held the gun. "Don't forget to plug your ears!"
As soon as her voice fell, she pulled the trigger.
A loud bang came from the muzzle!
