The demons seemed to have spotted the human movement in advance, and countless harpies flew into the sky in the starless night. The Eruin Royal Fleet's flagship, the Victory, kicked off the war with its bombardment, a test shot that exploded in the Harpy. The crossbowmen on the side of the ship saw that the layers of wings almost obscured the glare from the explosion, and the cannonball was like a pebble thrown into the sea.

Uncountable enemies.

The wizard observed the effects of the shelling through the porthole of the gun door, his face pale from the flames of the explosion. He removed the sheet of paper from the side and wrote down the charge and the amount of mana injected. The herald took the form from him and gave the order.

Moments later, the entire fleet roared, and countless cannonballs whizzed towards the impenetrable herd of harpies. A flash of explosion erupted between the monsters, and the shockwave of the explosion almost formed a wave of blood, pushing countless feathers and stumps forward, and the mutilated corpses fell like rain.

The roar of the rainy night woke up the dormant earth, and the rumbling sound seemed to revive the forests from Bunoan to the Silversheath Sea Cliffs, and the imaginary roar of blood flowing under the surface in the great veins, and each soldier felt the ground tremble slightly under his feet, like a living thing. The flash of the explosion overhead illuminated the sky and the earth, and at a glance there was a panoramic view of the potholed battlefield near the Acropolis of Bunoan, flags were erected on the edge of the battlefield, and human armies appeared in view.

The human coalition has begun to attack.

The goal of the Eruin and Cruz is to capture several villages near the Acropolis of Buno in order to attract the demons to devote more forces to the frontal battlefield; However, the demonic warlock's fireball on the Acropolis of Buno caused great trouble to the entire battlefield, and the battle progressed even slower than expected.

Freya and her cadets and knights of Lantonilan were briskly advancing along a wooded field in the middle of the battlefield, and they soon reached the vicinity of the Acropolis of Bunoan. Their goal was to capture the castle, and Freya, after observing the terrain, immediately ordered an attack, and hundreds of Lantonilan knights immediately attacked the gap in the collapsed walls of the castle.

The little demons in the gap are no match for them, these inferior demons with thin physiques are notoriously cowardly in the River of Brimstone, they have neither magic nor combat skills, and the superior demons don't even admit that they are also things that the demons only use as food or even currency to exchange. After killing a few of their companions, these ostensibly cruel and terrifying monsters reveal their true natures and scatter in a hurry. The knights soon slaughtered the city. The maiden from the countryside of Buchi took the lead, and was pleased to see that her side's offensive was proceeding rapidly, and at this rate it would take less than a quarter of an hour to take the Acropolis of Bunoan.

But it was at this time that a demonic warlock appeared at the top of the gap, which, unlike the robed wizards of humans, had knotted muscles, huge horns on their heads, and had no ornaments on their bodies, just like the lower demons. They held a flaming fireball in their hands and threw it down. It exploded among the knights who rushed to the front.

The explosion caused a wave of air that staggered the knights of Lantonilan, and a flying stone even cut Freya's face, causing the girl's face to immediately become bloody. However, she didn't care about the hot pain, and immediately shouted: "Everyone follow me, rush up in one go, don't give it a chance to cast spells again!" ”

With that, he climbed the gravel and rushed up to the gap. Two imps summoned by the Demon Warlock pounced on her left and right, but Freya raised her shield and threw them off the city with a flick of the back, a heroic act that greatly boosted the morale of the Lantonilan knights. The knights shouted the names of the female knights and slaughtered the city.

However, Freya also attracted the attention of the demon sorcerers, and soon more imps surrounded her, forcing her to slow down. The surrounding knights quickly crossed her. They rushed to the top of the city, but a huge figure appeared on top of it.

It was a minotaur.

The monster from Jorgandegon appeared without warning, apparently lying in ambush behind the walls in the first place, just waiting for the human knights to fall into the trap. The monster was at least three people tall, holding a giant axe larger than itself, standing there like a huge windmill, and it also swept the giant axe in its hand forward like a fan blade of a windmill, and the Lantonilan knight who rushed to the front suddenly let out a miserable scream and was cut down in unison.

The minotaur roared and dashed down one of the collapsed walls. Sweep all the humans and demons who stand in their way out of the city. The human knight was no match for it, and the monster quickly came up to Freya, raised his axe and swept it away with a rough one.

"Be careful, Freya!"

Freya even heard a reminder from Beth behind her, and she was very nervous at that moment. She had never seen a monster of this magnitude before, except for the terrifying wind elemental in the Mar Heights. But from a distance, the feeling was different from hand-to-hand combat, and the huge black axe face brought her great psychological pressure.

If you cut it, you'll die

No, definitely can't die here. Brando is still ahead and must help him take it. Only then will the demons turn their attention to the frontal battlefield.

The qiē she had learned in the Royal Knight Academy seemed to become clear at once, and at the last moment, her heart was calm, as if some special power was flowing in her body, and this feeling was exactly the same as the moment she got the Lionheart Sword.

The minotaur's giant axe arrived in an instant, and Freya bowed her head as if she had been blessed with a blessed heart, and at the same time leaped forward, her hand subconsciously scooping upwards and grasping the position where the handle of the axe was connected to the face of the axe.

The Minotaur didn't have time to see it, and swung the axe to the top, Freya let go of her hand and jumped upwards and landed on its massive axe, which was almost a meter wide enough for her to stand. Then she jumped again and landed firmly on the back of the Minotaur's neck.

This series of actions was only completed in an instant, and before everyone had time to react, the minotaur finally realized that the 'prey' in front of him had come to his back somehow. It let out a moo, reaching out to grab Freya behind it.

But Freya dodged the monster's straw-mat-sized hand as she sided, gritting her teeth and raising the Lionheart Sword, and at that moment the sword radiated a bright light, as bright as an ice-blue flame, which illuminated the entire Acropolis of Bunoan, and also the bright eyes of the girl from the countryside of Buchi.

It's like a recreation of the scene of that day. A pair of silver wings of light stretched out from Freya's back, and the Valkyrie war crest reappeared; The female knight clamped her legs around the minotaur's neck, her sword clenched in both hands and thrust down the monster's spine.

With a thud, the glittering Lionheart Sword plunged into the Minotaur's neck like a tofu cut.

The minotaur suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a wail, and as if it was going crazy, it dropped its giant axe and slapped its neck. This time Freya couldn't dodge, she heard a 'click' from behind her and a sharp pain, and her internal organs were almost about to move The girl's eyes were dark, and her body subconsciously fell backwards. But his hand was still grasping the hilt of the Lionheart Sword, and he took advantage of the momentum to drag out the sword, and the black blood plasma on the minotaur suddenly gushed out.

Freya coughed up a mouthful of blood, then raised her sword and plunged it into the back of the minotaur's head. This time, the monster finally couldn't bear such a serious injury, and immediately fell forward, falling on the collapsed city wall with a thud.

Everyone was scared.

"Freya!" Beth, who went with Freya, ran even more crazy towards the corpse of the minotaur, and the non-commissioned officers and students of the Royal Knight Academy already had a comrade-in-arms relationship with each other, plus she and Freya were one of the few women, so the relationship was better.

But at this time, the girl from the countryside of Buchi was groggy in her head. But he only thought about one thing.

Can't stop yet.

She had already learned from Charles that Brando was still ahead, and she knew what he was going to do. She also knows what she has to do on her own.

There must be no more Freya who is the captain of the useless Buch's militia.

She's going to change Buche and change everyone's fate.

Brando can help her.

But she is no longer the ignorant country girl, she has learned a lot. She even had a vague feeling that she might have seen what Brando had seen, and that was exactly what Her Royal Highness was looking for. It's not just an ideal, it's a beautiful vision.

When will Eruin escape his predetermined fate? Beth says that the tragedy of Bouchi will not be repeated only when the kingdom is doubly strong. But Brando's sue to her was not only the task of the nobility, Her Royal Highness told her that everyone had to defend their dignity with their own sword.

"Freya!" Beth came to the girl and helped her up.

The knights of Lantonilan couldn't help but let out a cheer when they saw the female knight covered in blood. Freya gritted her teeth. Raise the Lionheart Sword in his hand.

The sword's sparkling blade was more like a flag, and this flag was in everyone's eyes. It was the Lionheart, a banner of victory, as if symbolizing Eruin's uprightness and indomitability.

"Freya!"

"Freya! Freya! "Everyone's hearts were boiling, and the knights shouted the name of their temporary commander and attacked the city walls.

There was no more minotaur in the city. With a high-level creature like this, even an army of demons would not be able to use them as consumables. After all, this is no longer the battlefield of the Battle of the Sages thousands of years ago.

Freya watched the torrent of black and red pouring into the Acropolis of Bunoan, but her heart was calm.

"Beth, help me up."

"What, you're hurt like this." The short-haired girl complained, "I promised the Commander to take care of you." Now my precious magic longbow can't be saved. ”

Freya couldn't help but cough and laugh, she knew that Brando would never bother with her for this reason. She felt the pain excess, but she had never been so relaxed for a moment, something in her heart was far away from her, but it was doubly ripe.

"I seem to understand something, Beth."

"What do you understand?"

In another time and space, the future Valkyrie of Eruin smiled. At that moment, she finally realized that those words were not said to her, but Brando's self-questioning.

War will happen, and we can only choose to accept it. ’

We were born in a very bad time, and we cannot choose our time. But we can go and try to change it,'

It may not change anything, but at least the memory of us working with so many others to make it happen is precious. ’

'Do you know the word companion?' No matter how far you go, there are many people who accompany you. You will never be alone. ’

She, he, everyone will move forward with Eruin.

Forever.

……

The situation on the battlefield has changed, and the demons have finally begun to notice that the human offensive is being fierce and ferocious beyond their expectations. Although the loss of the Acropolis is not a big deal, it at least shows that the weak opponent on the opposite side still has the strength to fight back.

They began to throw the army of Jorgane behind them into the frontal battle, trying to crush the last hope of these poor creatures in one fell swoop.

Far away in the mountains and forests near Ampesel, the knights looked up at the sparkle of flowers in the sky, but they were speechless in their hearts. Everyone understood what it was, and the flash lasted for about a quarter of an hour, and the old witch Babasha finally brought back her companion.

Just as Brando had expected, those were witches who lived in seclusion all over Eruin, and most of them were on par with Babasha, and it seemed that Babasha was the leader.

They all pledged their loyalty to Brando, and even swore an oath, avoiding the attention of the others, of course.

Time was of the essence, and Brando did not have time to appease the new men, so under his orders, everyone gathered up and headed north. The knights had to brave the rain through the forest in the darkness, and sometimes even wade through one or two swollen mountain streams, but fortunately, most of the entourage, except for the princess, had the strength of silver or more, and the bad weather could only cause them a little trouble at best.

They rounded several low hills and traveled north for more than twenty minutes, soon reaching the location. The secret door is located in a valley, surrounded by twelve hazelnut trees, just as Brando remembers. But when they came out of the woodland, they saw a clearing, with neither doors nor anything that could be called man-made.

Everyone paused, and couldn't help but look at Brando in confusion.

Brando didn't speak, knowing in his heart what was going on. However, he was already quite cautious, and just waited for Babasha to explain, "There is an illusion here that only witches can unravel. ”

And so it was. wW
