After silently dealing with the team sweeping the building, Outcast was about to return when Kanna's voice came again.
"There's a Vouivre / Wyvern girl in military uniform charging this way. She's about to collide with another team. Should we save her?" Kanna naturally recognized this brash girl, an indispensable member of Rhodes Island's venture capital system, a top Vanguard whose burst damage from her Closed-Barrel Volley was comparable to a Guard—Bagpipe.
Hearing Kanna's words, the Rhodes Island group was somewhat puzzled. After all, Rhodes Island's sudden entry into the battlefield already carried great risks. If they were to get involved in the war between the army and these rioters now, it would probably be difficult to explain later.
Saileach, who hadn't left yet, suddenly thought of something and asked through the communicator, "Is the other person orange-haired and looks about twenty years old?"
"Yes, she's already encountered the rioters!" Kanna watched the girl who crashed in a straight line into Dublinn / Deepsea's team below, and couldn't help but marvel that Vouivre / Wyverns were truly an unscientific race on Terra. Whether it was Saria or Bagpipe, their physical abilities were exaggerated to a degree that normal people couldn't compare to.
"She's not from around here. I remember she seemed to have come from Londinium with others to investigate some case in Hillock County." Saileach had met Bagpipe before and had even rescued the somewhat reckless other person from the Tara district. Hearing that Bagpipe was in danger, she quickly spoke up.
"You continue to guard here, I'll go take a look!" Outcast's voice came through the communicator. A soldier from Londinium appearing at this place and time made Outcast take it seriously.
She believed she had to go personally and use her own eyes to understand who was behind the other party and what they wanted to do.
However, Outcast would probably be disappointed. Bagpipe was one of the few people in Rhodes Island, like Kanna, who didn't like to use her brain in battle. It would be extremely difficult to get information from her.
Under Kanna's gaze, Outcast approached the battlefield. After observing for a while, she intervened and rescued the other person from Dublinn / Deepsea's casters.
Looking at the communicator on the ground, Outcast knew that they couldn't hide any longer. The disappearance of this group of people would definitely cause the other party to send more personnel here. She looked up, and Kanna waved at her. Lowering her head again, she felt completely at ease.
"Let's push down these stone pillars. Not only can they block these small paths, but they can also clear the main road. This way, even if they pursue us, they can only come from the front, preventing us from being flanked from both sides when we retreat," Outcast said to Bagpipe, pointing at the surrounding broken stone pillars.
Hearing Outcast's words, Bagpipe nodded. Since meeting, she had instinctively trusted the other person, and in an environment where enemies were all around, everyone who offered help was a valuable asset in Bagpipe's eyes.
A few minutes later, all the stone pillars around the main street were toppled, and the paths on both sides of the street were almost completely blocked.
Horn and Outcast seemed relaxed, because compared to being surrounded, having options on a road where the enemy could only advance from one side was much more comfortable for their group.
"A large number of thugs are coming this way along the main street.
Based on their method of advance, there's a high probability that there's a leader among their ranks.
Repeat, there's a high probability that there's a leader among their ranks."
Outcast glanced at Bagpipe, "Can you do me a favor?"
"No problem!" Since Outcast had just saved her life, and they had been chatting very happily, Bagpipe readily agreed to Outcast's request.
"This friend of mine is seriously injured.
Take her along this street to the end.
My friends are in the plaza on the other side.
Can you hand her over to them?
She's seriously injured, I can't carry her!"
Just as Bagpipe was about to refuse, Outcast gave a reason that she couldn't refute.
"What about you?" Bagpipe looked at the enemies appearing at the other end of the street, a little worried.
"Don't worry, with my granddaughter here, these old bones of mine won't die here." Outcast unhurriedly took out her revolver and looked at the street corner not far away.
???
Although she didn't know what the battle had to do with her granddaughter, since she had accepted the request, she would certainly do her best.
"Be careful!" Bagpipe urged one last time, then carried the wooden board with Reed lying on it and ran in the direction Outcast had pointed.
After Bagpipe left, Outcast suddenly asked, "I heard Nian say before that you have the ability to foresee the future.
Did you see this situation coming?
What's my fate?"
...There was a moment of silence in the communicator, then Kanna's voice came through.
"Six shots, six shots representing judgment, with light piercing the heavens and earth, killed the six leaders opposite."
Outcast was startled at first, then broke into a hearty laugh, "I don't think I'll have any regrets!"
"But I won't allow it!" With a bolt of lightning descending from the sky, Kanna appeared beside Outcast.
In the plaza on the other side, Misery and his group also heard Outcast and Kanna's conversation.
Just as Kanna finished saying "six shots," Oliver and the people around him suddenly felt a chill, and saw Misery's face turn very grim.
Compared to most people who didn't know much about Sankta, he knew some of the Sankta taboos because of his good relationship with Outcast.
Although Outcast's revolver could hold six bullets, she always only loaded five.
This wasn't because she looked down on her opponents, believing five bullets were enough to face all enemies, but because six shots for a Sankta represented her own death.
At this moment, he also understood why Kanna was so anxious when she learned that Outcast was coming to Victoria.
If Kanna hadn't foreseen the development of the situation in Hillock County, based on his understanding of Outcast, he believed that in a necessary situation, Outcast would not hesitate to load the last bullet and perish with her opponent.
"Alright, alright, since you're here, Grandma can relax.
But I'm a little curious, what kind of enemy would make me load the sixth bullet?"
Outcast looked at the Dublinn / Deepsea group emerging from the other end, showing a hint of curiosity.
What kind of sin did her opponents possess that would make her willing to carry out the final judgment?
"Sankta, why is there a child too?
Where's the person you saved?"
After approaching, one of the opposing leaders, "The Orator," frowned slightly as he looked at the old and young standing in the middle of the road.
