Chapter 31: Return

Katerina dressed as a guard? Grexia's blonde hair fluttered and ran like a gust of wind through Eusta Manor. Goth didn't want her to go to war, but the lively princess clearly didn't want to let go of this opportunity to hone herself.

Dimi and Victoria, you two are having a great time fighting - let this girl share in the joy of this battle!

"Drink!"

A gray-bearded robber noticed Linna's approach. He raised the gun in his hand.

While!

Sparks fly. Guns and swords fire.

"How-uh......"

Lin Na's overwhelming strength directly shook the spear in the old man's hand out of the air. The old bandit's eyes widened, and Linna's sword was so swift that it cut off his hands. He let out a pig-killing scream and fell to the ground.

A guard with a scar on his face hurried in.

"Who are you?" He shouted, "You're not from the manor...... Hmmm......"

Linna was like a bolt of lightning, and before the poor guard could react, Linna's hilt struck him in the head. Without glancing at the unconscious guards who had fallen to the ground, Linna continued to run towards the place where the caster's prison was.

Both robbers and guards see themselves as enemies. That's fine.

The blonde female swordsman once again meets a sword-wielding guard. The opponent's posture was as calm as a mountain and exuded an astonishing momentum, and the long sword was already stained with blood. He must be the captain of the manor's guard or something.

Unlike Dimi or Victoria, Linna does not have the blessing of a "perfect body". What she relied on was her diligent practice year after year.

The elegant fancy-style hilt of the Sword of Dawn is made up of several metal rings of different shapes, which serve more than just decoration. Using skill to take away the opponent's weapon is the true way to use the Sword of Dawn.

Linna's adoptive father, Duke Hywell, taught Linna the swordsmanship of frontal crushing, while her adoptive mother, Clemens, taught Linna the strategy of defeating the enemy. This female warrior from Okad herself lives in the city of Sunfire, but Linna respects her very much.

Observing the opponent's movements, Lin Na avoided the opponent's inevitable stab at the last moment. As she had expected, the enemy's sword snapped into the ring on the hilt of the Sword of Dawn with her unbiasedness. With just a little force, the female swordsman broke the enemy's sword in two. The guard gritted his teeth and was swept to the ground by Linna's protruding kick.

For the sake of his superb swordsmanship, Lin Na said in her heart, just leave him to continue to resist the robbers who invaded the manor. Anyway, he'll definitely pick up a dead man's sword later, and it's easy.

He has only one goal, and that is where Victoria and Dimi are. Lin Na knew that it must be the center of the battlefield.

Behind him, the guards, who had lost their weapons, relentlessly got up from the ground. What a tough guy, Linna thought. Obviously, he has already let him go. Do you want to give him another slap even harder?

“——?!”

A black figure suddenly stopped in front of Linna.

The spear was like lightning, stabbing straight into Linna's throat.

"So fast." Lin Na was shocked.

The opponent's spear was faster than any opponent Rina had encountered in the manor.

For the first time, the female swordsman chose to retreat.

……

Ten minutes ago. Yolanta's wilderness.

"We, have we been tricked......"

Lijie on a tall horse? Clemens muttered to himself. They were already far away from Blackstar Castle, even farther away from Eusta Manor, west of Blackstar Castle. The two mages brought out of the caster's prison—twin sisters with orange-red hair and identical faces—knelt on one knee in front of Lizzie and Melia, their faces worried.

There is an emergency contact between the four caster guards in the caster's prison. When the girl and Dimi stormed the warehouse on the ground, the two mages were also alerted.

"Leave the troops here," Lizzie said decisively, "I order you to open the portal to the caster's prison at once. Let's go back. ”

But the two female mages, the Zakharevich sisters, shook their heads. Unlike Vanke and the others, the two sisters were born as battle mages, and they were far stricter than ordinary mages who were free and loose.

"No," said the elder of the two, "we can't just teleport through the anti-magic field on the outside of the prison and into the inside of the prison. Originally, there was a special device in the prison that allowed the four of us guards to teleport back and forth in an emergency, but it had been more than three minutes since the alarm arrived, and there was still no sign of turning it on. ”

"Vanke and Pirka must have been attacked, and it's hard to inform us," said the younger sister of the two, "and even if they can activate the device, we are the only ones who can teleport in space." We're running out of time. ”

"What if you open the teleportation array to the manor?" Lijie gritted her teeth and asked, "Send me, Melia, and the two of you back." If you don't go directly to the inside of the prison, you can do it, right? ”

"The enemy's caster may have interfered, and in the absence of an exact token, the landing point may be skewed. But it's the most feasible way. Trespassing, I'll prepare a spell ......" The older sister of the two immediately began to outline the teleportation array on the ground.

She has prepared spell materials for short- and medium-distance spatial teleportation, which is a great blessing in misfortune. But even then, it would have taken several minutes to sketch out such a spell from scratch.

Melia and Lizzie both jumped off their horses. They used this time to give their final advice to the soldiers. At this point, it is useless to bring back even a few soldiers. On the contrary, the robbers are likely to take advantage of the moment to attack. With no commanders and no spellcasters, they're likely to face a tough battle.

How did it become...... Lijie gritted her teeth secretly. Obviously, the local robbers and the people behind the attempted robbery have long been in collusion. It's all Meria's troops, and if a spellcaster suddenly appears to help the bandits, they might be devastated.

"I'm sorry, Melia," Lizzie began, "I'll let you ......"

But Melia already knew what she was going to say, "No, Lizzie. This was my negligence. We have fallen for the enemy's tactics and can only do everything we can to save the situation. As for the boys and girls here, they are also Okad's soldiers. Trust them. ”

Lijie's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything. She just clenched the spear in her hand.

"The teleportation array has been set up," and soon, the voices of the Zakharevich sisters rang out, "Error...... It is no more than 1,500 meters from the center of the manor. ”

It's lucky that we're going to be right near the prison, Lijie thought. She looked at the teleportation array not far away, the improvised teleportation array shimmering with a faint blue light.

The four of them walked towards the teleportation array.

Suddenly—

"Danger!" The younger sister of the Zakharevich sisters shouted. A white shield appeared in front of her.

But this level of defense is only a drop in the bucket.

Even ordinary soldiers saw it clearly. Dense arcane blades shot from the sky, like flowing crystals. Hundreds of blades were like a rain of death, enveloping the military formation.

Quite a few soldiers have already begun to pray for the end of their lives.

However, there are also people who keep their heads above water. The elder sister of the Zakharevich sisters is one of them.

There could be no spell so powerful, she thought. Destroying an army of thousands of people with a single blow is something that even a Blue Ocean level mage can't do. Perhaps only an incredible legendary mage like the high-ranking Speaker can exert such incredible power.

Then, what is attacking our army is just a simple illusion! Those arcane blades are false illusions, and the real purpose of the enemy ......

"Let's go!" She shouted hoarsely. She didn't cast any defensive magic, which would interrupt the teleportation array she was trying so hard to maintain. In fact, due to the chaos of the surrounding arcane energy and the mental fluctuations of the master, the light of the teleportation array had begun to dim.

"Wait......"

In the final moments before the teleportation array collapsed, she pushed Melia and Lijie inside. The figures of the two disappeared immediately. After the teleportation array teleported the two away, it flickered like a candle in the wind a few times, and then completely extinguished.

Brush!

With the exclamations of the crowd, a rain of blades descended. However......

As my sister had expected, most of the arcane blades formed by illusion vanished like soap bubbles before they could hit the formation. The soldiers who "escaped death" watched all this dumbfounded.

However, not all blades are illusions. In the false rain of blades, the few real attacks are also hidden.

……

As long as you understand the intentions of your opponent, you will be clear. The enemy will only target two places.

Sister Zakharevich, an arcane spellcaster who can perform teleportation.

The enemy was not interested in a large number of ordinary soldiers. As long as they are forced to defend by attacking arcane casters, they cannot maintain the teleportation array for reinforcements.

The younger of the two opened her shield and blocked the blow. And my sister -

"How could it be ......?"

About six blades pierced her body from behind. With a snap, her fragile body collapsed in a pool of blood.

My sister stared blankly at the blue sky not far away. Did she use invisibility spells to hide her figure, she still can't see the presence of the enemy. But it doesn't matter.

If the other party doesn't come out...... Then force the other party to come out. The other party is a master of illusion. But I didn't plan to back down.

She had no time to spare, and she was saddened by her sister's death.

……

And on the other hand.

In the air, Franbel remains invisible? Matthias smiled wryly as she held the Crystal Staff of Altusai.

After all, they still couldn't completely stop these dead soldiers...... It's up to you, Linna, Victoria.
