Chapter 33: The Skirmish (Part II)
"You ......"
When the words came to her lips, the girl forced herself to stop questioning. If Melia really has a hard time, she shouldn't have directly asked her, "Is it true?" Maybe the battle between the two was indeed spied on by someone.
Then, I can only cooperate with Melia to play to the end!
And Melia looked down at the girl on the ground condescendingly. The girl's dark red armor was covered with dust, and it was hard to imagine that she had been attacked like that and still had the strength to fight.
-----------------------------------
That was a few days ago.
In the floating sand city of the Occade Federation.
"You have asked me to take your leave again, Brigadier General Melia." Speaker Nicholas said.
Melia ...... Melia's image nodded, to be exact. Her deity was still in Blackstar Castle, and all she could communicate with the Speaker was an illusion projected by spells.
"Yes," said Melia, "when this war against the Five Nations is over, allow me to remove Brigadier General Okad." Yoranta area, you can give it to Mr. Eusta. β
"Are you determined to be on the side of Elrios?" Speaker Nicholas looked regretful, "Is it for your father, Melia?" β
"No," Melia's expression remained respectful, "As I said before, Lord Speaker, I haven't seen my father once since I left Floating City. β
"You don't trust him," Speaker Nicholas sighed, "and you're for the brat of the Black Apostle, John??" Goth, huh? β
"Yes," Melia said without hesitation, "before I swore allegiance to you, I was determined to dedicate everything I had to him. I love him, just as all wives in the world love their husbands. Please forgive me for being willful, Speaker. β
"However, you don't want to betray me, Brigadier General Meria," Speaker Nicholas shook his head slightly, "it is only a matter of time before I go to war with the French powers, and if you continue to serve in the Federation, you will face difficult choices sooner or later. In your heart, ...... in the end"
"Speaker, I'm ......"
"That's fine. I will not stop my wife from going to reunite with her beloved husband. I will approve your resignation. β
Melia looked surprised.
"As I have promised before, when the war against the Five Nations is over," said Speaker Nicholas, "you will directly disclose your status as a saint, and then make your resignation public to me again." β¦β¦ No one will doubt the legitimacy of your resignation. β
"Thank you very much." Melia regained her subordinate's expression towards her boss and gave a formal military salute to the speaker. This also helped her a lot.
"One more thing." Speaker Nicholas said as if suddenly remembered, "You're going back to your territory next, aren't you?" There's a Blue Ocean level mage imprisoned there, Elizabeth?? Douglas. You should know. β
"Yes."
"The spellcaster's prison there is guarded by four Blue Sky mages, but two of them are not too careful. You are also focused on the affairs of the church and the military...... Heighten the vigilance there. Even if there was a case, it would be better to let her go than to let Elizabeth die in Okad, understand? β
---------------------
Around Elizabeth?? Douglas, the situation is complicated.
The Speaker was tired of continuing to hide Elizabeth's hot potato. The French Powers looked forward to Elizabeth's death, so that Victoria could become disillusioned with the Empire and form a mortal enmity with the Occade Federation.
But......
The assassination force that had been active in the shadows quickly disappeared when Victoria and Dimi appeared in Okad's territory. Prince Dimi's personal dispatch showed the Empire's determination to rescue Elizabeth. And Victoria's own actions in danger made it even more difficult for Elrios's assassins to shift the blame to the Empire. Considering that the risk was too great, it was as if Elrios's spy had ceased his activities overnight.
The seemingly unplanned attack turned the tide towards the outcome that was most favorable to her. Is this also in Victoria's calculations?
It doesn't matter anymore. Melia slowly walked from the sky to the ground, as if walking on an invisible staircase. By the time her silver boots touched the ground, she was less than ten meters away from Victoria.
"Do you want to keep fighting, Victoria," Melia said softly, "it's still too late. If you admit defeat, I will hand you over to the Church for protection as a saint, and then repatriate you to the Empire. If I run away, I won't chase after me. β
"I believe you," said the girl, and although Melia has a great city, she will never conspire to harm anyone, "but you didn't say anything about the secret warrior who was captured without a fight, Your Excellency?" β
Truly...... Melia thought to herself.
"John has said that he will be responsible for breaking the queen for His Highness Dimi at the manor. Whether you are there or not, the outcome of your purpose will not change. β
"But you won't let me go back, Melia." The girl's voice deepened.
"I'm not going to watch you stay here and be indifferent. My comrades have died for your actions," said Melia, "and I am still the commander of the Oka de Yolanta Territory anyway. Let me be the last and let you accept my 'protection'. β
Melia raised her spear. In the winter sun, the silver spears shimmered in the cold.
"This gun is a protective weapon that the Church prepared for me after I became a saint. Named 'Iron Maiden'. It is not only a melee weapon, but also a medium for casting spells. β
The girl also raised the "Bright World" in her hand: "If you want to engage in hand-to-hand combat, I will accompany you to the end." Be careful, Melia. β
I thought you were a mascot-style martial arts general-the girl's heart. I'm impressed with you.
She didn't know: Melia was also in a complicated mood.
Also a halfway monk, Melia has never liked to fight. Even after becoming a saint, the Holy See sees her as a war priest who specializes in combat.
Obviously, all he expects is to spend a peaceful life with John.
She waved her free left handβ
Melia's entire body was bathed in a glittering white light. Three pairs of radiant wings of light were born from behind, and now Melia's whole person is like an angel descending on earth. There is also a light circulating on the spear "Iron Maiden", and on the head of the spear, a white holy flame is burning.
"Go to war, Victoria."
"Divine enhancement. It's good. β
The girl could feel that the power of the "Bright World" was constantly coming from the palm of her hand. After many days of training, the energy of the "Bright World" seems to be more intense than ever before.
Melia's spear arced through the air. The power contained in it is not only fire, but also surging positive energy. Perhaps the magic armor "Aurora" can defend against the sharp spear head, but in the face of the light and heat infused into the body of the "Iron Maiden", any negligence of the girl will lead to injury.
"Come on!" Both shouted at the same time.
The clash between the "Bright World" and the "Iron Maiden". This is where the battle between the two begins.
