Chapter 17: The Return of the Stars
Melia's silver spear was blessed with the enchantment of "Sharpness", and Lizzie rushed out of the battle without heavy armor, and her shoulders were already full of blood.
After receiving a heavy blow, she fell to the ground, and she didn't know what to do.
"Liz!"
Seeing that the adjutant did not know whether he was alive or dead, Floretta's eyes were red. But she quickly judged ...... Liz is mostly still alive.
And just as the Imperial side did not kill the Okadan generals yesterday, Melia obviously did not intend to make up for the final blow to Liz.
But—
"Nope."
Floretta and Nikki, who were nervously watching the battle, somehow let go of the hand on Tina's shoulder. Tiny Tina saw Lizzy stabbed under her horse by the enemy, and tears were already rolling in her eyes.
Liz, is it for my ......?
She wasn't like her sister who could see that Melia's last move was deliberately avoiding the heart point.
"Drive!"
Tina brandished her short gun and rushed out. Several sergeants who were watching the battle were caught off guard and were almost wounded by Tina's white horse......
"Tina!" Floretta was shocked.
She was already wary enough, and in a panic, she still missed it......
……
Melia was very decisive at this point.
She gestured to her side's formation, and three horsemen on fast horses rushed out in unison.
And Melia herself greeted Tiny Tina, closer to the position of the Imperial army.
"She's also—hmm."
Weapons collide. Although Tina's strength is not large, her marksmanship is exquisite, and in an instant, she has already fought several moves on par with Melia.
Behind Melia, several horsemen had already captured Liz. Floretta has come to the front of the Imperial array, bending her bow and arrows—
She doesn't care what the "two against one" words are, she wants to help her sister now! Her lieutenant has become a prisoner, and she doesn't want her relatives to happen to her!
Floretta stared directly at Melia and Tiny Tiny as they were scuffling together, as long as she could find a good opportunity......
"She's alive!" One of the horsemen shouted.
Tina, who was preoccupied with fighting Melia, couldn't help but shake when she heard this shout. Liz, she still ...... Alive?
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Retreat." Melia snorted coldly.
"Give me Liz back!" Tina, however, was reluctant to retreat. The battle has already begun, how can you easily say defeated?
But no matter how much Tina cheered herself up, when the initial anger had passed, she was on the defensive. With a sigh of relief, every blow of Melia now seemed to destroy her completely.
"Medium!" Tina let out a loud shout, dodging Melia's shot on her horse, and then gathering the last of her strength, rushed to stab Melia.
But Melia only managed to dodge Tina's attack with a slight sideways turn, and Tina lost her balance a little.
"Not ...... yet" Despite the confusion, Tina barely managed to dodge Meria's sweep.
"Come on." But Melia rode forward. She was half a head taller than Tina, and at this time, she gently stretched out her free left hand, grabbed the back of Tina's neck, and directly "carried" her from the horse.
The two armies were noisy at the same time.
Tina desperately tried to struggle. She felt the wind rise in her ears, it was an arrow that her sister Floretta had to shoot when she saw her sister being captured.
But Tina's petite body was like a shield. Floretta's arrow grazed Tina's ear and then flew over Melia's head, shooting into the air.
Melia didn't linger too long. She threw Tina in her arms in the direction of her own cavalry.
Tina felt the world spin around, the pain so intense that she could barely breathe, and the short gun flew out of her hand. The two Okad horsemen immediately stepped forward and restrained her—
"Death!" Floretta no longer had any shame in throwing a wheel battle against a low-ranking general, and she rode out to take Melia.
And on the Okade side, Lijie can't stand it anymore. Melia's body was trembling slightly, and Lijie knew that her lieutenant's physical strength had also reached its limit.
"Your opponent is me." On the Imperial side, Elrios' guest general, the unicorn knight Nikki, rode her unicorn and intercepted Lijie. Although Nikki has arcane spell casting ability, at such a close distance, all she can rely on is her own magic equipment.
"Get out of the way." Lijie shouted.
When it comes to enchanted equipment, Lijie is also well-prepared at this time.
"You can't get by." Nikki said. She wasn't in a hurry to attack, she just stopped Lijie in a place where she couldn't help Melia.
The four female generals divided into two pairs and fought fiercely against each other.
……
Nikki and Lijie are inseparable, but Melia is gradually at a disadvantage.
Floretta's martial arts are better than Melia's, not to mention that she has just played and has better physical strength.
In less than ten rounds, Melia was already gasping for breath. Several times she tried to retreat, but was forced by Floretta.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides have been fighting for more than a dozen rounds-
Melia spotted the flaw in Floretta's trick and stabbed her with a single shot, trying to force her back.
But that's exactly what Floretta wants.
As she dodged the attack, Floretta's hand grabbed the barrel of Melia's gun.
"How?" She said coldly. And Melia, exhausted, was unable to regain her weapons at all.
The lance in Floretta's hand resembled a black dragon, and the long rod swept across Melia's chest. Melia let out a mouthful of blood with an "ah" and fell off the horse.
And Lijie and Nikki, who were fighting fiercely on the side, saw that the other pair had won and lost, and they were also separated. Lijie's expression was a little ugly.
"You also have enchantments on this armor." Floretta said. She didn't want Melia's life, and it only took eighty percent of her strength to strike just now.
But Floretta's self-proclaimed strength is also one of the best among female generals, and it is expected that Melia will break at least a few ribs and spurt blood from her mouth.
"How?" Nikki ran to Floretta's side. Floretta pressed her lance against Melia's chest, and Melia gritted her teeth to keep herself from screaming again.
"Use your lieutenant," Floretta said in a low voice, facing Lijie, "for my lieutenant and my sister." ”
Liz and Tiny Tina had already been caught in the Okad camp by a few covering Okadian cavalry. Tina's hands and feet were tied, and she forced herself to keep herself from crying.
Both sides had their own prisoners, and both were still alive...... Swapping became Floretta's best bet. She had just rushed out of the horse, not to take revenge, but to capture Melia.
Floretta understands that if she kills Melia, her lieutenant and sister will also die!
"Okay," said Lijie gloomily, "I'll promise you two for one." ”
"Wise." Floretta sneered.
"Your lieutenant is seriously injured and is being treated," Lijie said, "and when she is stable, how about I send the two of them back together?" ”
"All right," Floretta said, "but we'll have to pick them up before we're released." If there's one less, I don't mind giving your beautiful lieutenant a little more 'decoration' on his face. ”
Although Floretta is a nobleman, she is a rough man on the battlefield, and she does not hesitate to threaten at all.
"Naturally," said Lijie, "we have the best spellcaster, so we won't leave your people overnight. Before evening, I should send people to him. You'll have to make sure that Meria is safe, too. ”
"We're not savages." Floretta said. The Imperial knight in charge of escorting Meria had also arrived.
Lijie frowned, but finally didn't say anything.
She didn't question the credibility of the Imperial side. It's just this battle today...... The two sides are tied.
What happens next...... No one can say.

Meanwhile.
Somewhere in the ruins of Elrios.
Legendary mages have left many relics in the land of Elrios. After the death of their masters, they were either occupied by the newcomers or ransacked, and few mages were willing to occupy this secret house built by the "Chief of Terror".
After the "Chief of Terror", the seven mages who used this secret place all died unnatural deaths. Although the mages of Elrios did not believe in any curses they could not detect, they gradually lost interest in using it.
Until now. After the Okadians entered Elrios, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" claimed it as their base. At the behest of Nicholas and the Blood of Eternity, a group of mages and elite guards have also settled here.
Now they all regret it very much—just because they succumbed to coercion and temptation...... Now they have to face the demon of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".
And the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" is quietly waiting.
