543 The Reality That Exceeds Expectations (1/2)
The target appears to have been found... Klein looked away and made a rough judgment.
As there were no portraits, the dead adventurer's face was burned black, which meant that Elland clearly didn't recognize this as one of their targets. After observing the situation and listening to the creepy laughter for a few seconds, he pointed to the three or four military personnel lying outside the house.
”Drag them back first, then wait for the other teams to arrive before launching our attack.
”Or...”
He hesitated for a moment, then he raised his head to look at the approaching dark-blue airship.
Without another word, and without instructing Klein and Danitz, Elland ran to the unconscious military personnel whose faces were purple.
Tap. Tap. Tap... The closer he got, the weaker his steps became. In the end, his body became stiff and every step he took became extremely difficult
Elland, who had been the boatswain of the Imperial Navy, was experienced, He decisively stopped moving forward and turned around slowly, walking back one step at a time.
The more he walked, the smoother it became. However, he was still shaking uncontrollably, his eyebrows and temples were covered in a thin layer of frost.
A quick freezing effect that defies common sense”. An extreme cold reminiscent of a disaster... With Elland’s attempt, Klein was able to grasp the danger level of this area, and he could only sigh inwardly.
Unfortunately, the Sun Brooch isn't able to produce actual heat. It's only a stimulation of one's mind. Although it can make a body generate clear effects, it will only allow a person to withstand this cold for three to four seconds at most...
Looking at Elland's chattering teeth and how he was unable to open his mouth despite wanting to say something, Klein's gaze swept over Danitz.
He threw his cane and said in a low voice, ”Fire.”
Fire? Danitz was stunned at first, but he quickly understood Gehrman Sparrow.
He had also witnessed the entire process of 日land's failure!
A scarlet fireball that couldn't be considered bright formed on Danitz's right palm, and he threw it towards the flanks of the military personnel.
The fireball traveled for nearly twenty meters and then landed on the ground without creating an explosive sound. Instead, it quietly rose into the air.
The scarlet pillar of fire emitted sizzling sounds as it continuously shrank and quickly dimmed.
Suddenly, it expanded, as if it was in a desperate struggle before it perished.
Klein, wearing a black tweed coat, jumped out and landed right next to the military personnel.
He bent down and reached out with both hands and grabbed the man's clothes.
Then, he pushed his feet against the ground, exerted strength at his waist, and threw the man out
The military personnel immediately flew into the air, smoothly flying out before landing ten meters away from the area, escaping the region with the coldest chill.
After doing this, Klein snapped his fingers and lit a match in his pocket before the chill seeped into his body.
The scarlet streams of flames gushed out like water, instantly enveloping him.
By the time everything faded, Klein had disappeared from his location.
Flames leaped out, flickering and extinguishing from time to time. With the help of Danitz's fireballs and his own matches, Klein constantly phased around in the extremely cold area, easily throwing out several military personnel.
After two to three attempts, he carried the last member of the military back to his original position.
Elland had clearly recovered as he gave a thumbs up.
”I'm very glad and honored to have made the decision to ask for your help today.”
Captain, I like your tactful praises... Also, remember to raise the remuneration... Klein nodded politely, half turned, and looked at the open windows of the house. He heard the laughter grow stranger.
Danitz pursed his lips to the side and silently cursed Elland.
Did you not see the contribution I made?
Although my fireball has become something akin to a prop for a magic show, it still made actual contributions!
This guy's nickname is Just Elland, but he's not just at all!
As he muttered, a shadow loomed over the area, and the airship had arrived in the air opposite them.
”Evacuate the people in the surrounding houses!” an officer shouted from the airship.
After Elland and two other teams cleared several nearby buildings, the airship lowered its altitude and adjusted its cannon muzzles.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons fired continuously, bombarding the house which was still filled with creepy laughter.
Hearing the explosions and seeing the flashes of flames, Klein sighed as he held his cane.
This is the firepower bombardment he advocated. He had once proposed it in Tingen City but was unable to put it into practice. And today, however, the overseas colonists were producing the real scene before him.
