"They are retreating... Why?" asked the Emperor quietly. He could see the enemy troops retreating, but they also let the lower-rank soldiers keep fighting so the Knights could leave the war.
Do they want to rest for today?
Heinrich's Raven flew towards the Emperor and landed on his wrist.
[Your Majesty, I heard there's a problem on the other side, but I'm not sure what. I can't get close.]
"Good work. This news alone is enough for now.”
The Emperor drew his sword and raised it high into the sky. He made a burst of blue <Aura> which meant an order to retreat for a moment and take the injured for treatment to the rear.
Then, the Emperor waved his sword swiftly to the right and forward, signalling all the war commanders to remain on standby in case of further attacks.
"Can't you spread the message to all the commanders at once wi
“Holy Energy is different from Mana. The user also heals themself while healing others, the effect is reciprocal. But it can not be used often because there is a limit. Is Her Highness pushing her limits beyond what she can do?” Heinrich's questions swirled in Ezekiel's head. "Ah, are you not aware?" Heinrich asked. The man smiled warmly. “Ah, it must be because Her Highness didn't want you to worry, so she didn't show it.” Ezekiel narrowed his eyes at Heinrich as he didn't know how to think, or how to draw a conclusion. “Do you always talk this much, Your Highness?” Heinrich chuckled. "Mm, considering you missed your chance to marry Madam Harriet Goldlane because of your stupidity, I thought you need a little help understanding women." Ezekiel clenched his jaw until veins popped up in his jaw and temples. His eyes were glaring menacingly with a blue glint as cold as a freezing dawn's dew and his hands clenched tightly on the table. Despite his handsome face with deep and dark ey
Harriet's plan was simple. She had Zaha Serpentes by her side, she could hire mercenaries to serve as temporary soldiers to help her carry out her plans to try to spread rumours about the attack from the Serpentes Kingdom. And she had access to enter the Diamond Duchy by using the sea route via the port. The rest was resolved with enough money and violence, as well as connections from merchants and the help of Jake Scolecite. She asked Zaha and his two servants to prepare thousands of leaflets which were quickly copy-pasted using Alchemy and then ordered a loudspeaker. Also when she asked Liam to hire a trustworthy mercenary, Liam brought people from the Antarcticite Clan to help instead. "How do you know them again?" asked Harriet quietly. Liam just smiled and didn't answer. Harriet then sighed and felt a little relieved. Perhaps Liam's trip to the Ice Mountains in the
Axias had not left his place since the beginning of the war. He was still on the alert with his hand gripping the bow. He knew that what Ethan had shown earlier wasn't all he could show. He knew because he saw no Wyverns coming down and using their venomous tails. He knew because no Diamond Knights and <Aura Master> had appeared to try to join the war. They only lost the lives of the lowest-level soldiers, commoners who were forced to join the war. Everyone knew that this was all preparation for a second wave which was much bigger and more serious than before. Like testing the water, like trying to exhaust the Imperial Army physically and mentally after killing their own innocent people, they would advance once luck was on their side. When that happened, then Axias couldn't sit still here. Axias had conserved his strength as best he could, and he quickly concluded
WHOOOSH! Harriet climbed the plateau with Zaha holding her by the waist and arm, helping her climb faster. The two of them needed to be in a place that everyone could see quickly, so they hiked up the rocky plateau area on the right side of the battlefield. This place was the place used by the army of mages and <Aura Archer> to fire their attacks at the Wyverns. If one looked at it, now things were much more chaotic than before. The Knights were now fighting the enemy Knights, and the Wyverns began to descend to the ground and attack them head-on. Not only that, Sorcery bombs exploded here and there. Eoin and Heath repeatedly used air pressure attacks with howls and <Aura> to push back the red smoke from the Sorcery Curse towards the enemy. But these two alone were sometimes not enough to save everyone. Meanwhile, in the sky, Heinrich and Ezekiel were in a f
Ezekiel asked Heinrich if he had an ultimate spell to clear the Wyverns from the sky.“Yes, I have an ultimate spell that is stronger than my brother's [Inferna],” Heinrich explained quietly."Ah. Great then," said Ezekiel.But, their combination against Ethan had been so effective. And Ethan was currently injured by the Emperor's attack. There couldn't be a better chance than this as they couldn't let Ethan run from this fight either.If Heinrich had to focus on other things instead of supporting Ezekiel–to cast a spell that could stop the Wyverns all at once, then they would need time.Great spells took time to cast, and the time it took could cost a lot of lives and losses."You don't need to protect me, just give me a foothold. You focus on casting your spell, and I'll also protect you from attacks. Can you do it?” asked Ezekiel th
Liam returned to the battlefield and looked around. Everything he saw was only chaos, and the sky was filled with so many Wyverns. Rather than those descending to the ground to ravage the Imperial Army, Liam found it better to deal with those flying in the sky. Because he presumed the Knights and the Lycans could deal with the Wyverns on the ground. “Huff, alright,” he muttered under his breath and began to transform into a giant white wolf. The surrounding people were surprised to see the appearance of a second Alpha Lycan with pure white fur from the back line. And sensing Liam's appearance, the Lycans of the Amaryllis Pack lowered their bodies. They were somewhat surprised to feel and smell the presence of a very strong Alpha. Liam ran at such a high speed that his figure blurred and disappeared into the crowd. Even though his figure was enormous, one could somehow not catch his movements.
Eoin clicked his tongue. "Too bad, isn't it? We are of dragon blood, but we don't have wings. I really want to grow wings even just once. It must be fun to fly in the sky and slash them one by one," said Eoin quietly. The middle-aged man darted forward and raged in the middle of the opposing army, alone. The blue light from his <Aura> flickered fiercely, burning everything around him. [Eoin Euclase? To think he appeared and helped in this war. He's pretty good, too] Liam muttered, realizing how Eoin managed to keep up with his and Heath's speed. Heath was silent. This was not the time to reveal his secret to his brother-in-law. More than that, he was sure Liam had not shown everything he had. He must have deliberately restrained himself a little because of his body condition. Heath knew because Liam still looked like he could rampage like this for a few more days.
Heinrich and Ezekiel stared at each other as an Alpha Wyvern reappeared from the back line of the opponent's defence. "You good?" asked Heinrich worriedly. "Yeah, of course. I can do this until tomorrow if it takes you that long,” replied Ezekiel sarcastically. Heinrich gave a small grin. He closed his eyes again to concentrate. At the same time, Ezekiel quickly chased after the Alpha Wyvern which started to spit its flames onto the Imperial Army on the ground. He shot off towards the monster with his body still protected by <Aura Armor>. About five minutes. Ezekiel could keep this up for another five minutes. Surely Heinrich could cast his spell faster than that, right? “HAAAAA!!” Ethan dodged Ezekiel's attack. He had just finished drinking his painkiller potion after being injured from his previous fight with Ezekiel
