Chapter 18: A Sharp Turn

Gradually, the activity of the minotaur stopped. The intense dizziness caused it to lose its balance during a violent slash and fall to the ground.

But it doesn't look dead yet. It was still gasping for air. Struggling at the same time. At this time, people, both the Romans and the Celts, had a tacit understanding. They decided to leave the monster alone. The two armies automatically and consciously vacated a territory within a radius of 100 meters centered on that monster. I didn't even get closer.

In this way, such a strange scene appeared on the chaotic battlefield. Front, back, left and right, all sides were soldiers of the two armies fighting fiercely. Only here, where the troll breathed, was silent. There was nothing but the remnants of countless corpses and shattered armor.

In a sense, this is also a form of respect, or awe. Although there is more fear in the heart, the two feelings mentioned above do still exist. There are few warriors in this world who can match it. And on this battlefield of more than 100,000 people, there is only one Artoria who can compete with it - and at this time, Artoria is busy with other things. After blinding the Minotaur's one-eyed. The queen sneered and pushed aside, thinking to herself: This person is no longer a concern. He turned and headed in the other direction.

"The emperor of Eastern Rome, this palace has come to kill you!!! let's settle the score!!!"

Artoria uses the Death Brutality skill to keep her army from crumbling. Then he rushed in the direction where Lilianu was. After leaving the post of commander-in-chief, she no longer had full control over the battle. In fact, it is impossible to win even without leaving.

Therefore, the matter has come to this, if you want to change the situation of the battle, then there is only one way to capture the thief and capture the king. Capture, or kill Lilianu!Then the Romans' offensive will inevitably be disrupted, morale will plummet, and then collapse! Artoria will have to win in her own way!

"Aim at that woman! Quick! Bow and arrow, crossbow at her! Kill her!"

Seeing Artoria rush in his direction. Lilianu's face changed dramatically. Then he angrily shouted at the soldiers around him. However, it did not work at all. All bows, arrows, crossbows, javelins, and slings are deflected by the invisible cyclone as they approach Artoria. The Cursed Armor on her body ensures that she is not damaged by almost all ranged projectile attacks. As for the close-up ...... If Lilianu could gather millions of elites like the golden family. Then naturally it is not a problem...... So there was no way to stop the woman, no way to stop the woman - for a moment, Lilianu seemed to feel the mood of Egil during the Battle of Thames - exhausted and angry, and tried everything she could. But in the end, it still couldn't stop the woman's progress. It's just ...... "It's a monster......

Lilianu sighed leisurely: "I'm afraid the only monster that can defeat a monster like the Minotaur." ”

By this moment, Artoria was less than two hundred meters away from her—the more than four hundred Royal Forest soldiers around her were ready for battle. Despite the fact that these were extremely well-equipped, the brutally trained warriors were fearless. But since the opponent is a monster...... "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible." "Around Lilianu, there were already Roman officers who had said such things. Naturally, the meaning was to ask Lilianu to run away when she saw that the situation was not right. However, the female emperor of Rome shook her head and rejected such an offer.

"I'm here, not going anywhere. If that monster can take my life, then it will be the defeat of the Roman Empire! It's the victory of the Roman Empire!"

Lilianu said forcefully—she'd seen it. The second charge of the hussars again ended in failure. Attempts to attack one's flank have failed again. And at the same time, because the number has dropped further. The Celtic front also shortened considerably. This allowed the Roman army to divide more troops to defend against hussar attacks. In this way, victory is almost a matter of time. At such a time, to flee when you are about to win?! It was worse than killing Lilianu.

At the same time, Artoria is equally aware of the current situation. Lilianu must be killed as soon as possible - before her army fails. to save the day. At the same time, it is also justifiable to cut off a competitor for yourself!

Well, it's really inappropriate to say such things on the battlefield. But in a split second, Artoria did have such an idea. And more importantly. She thinks this is quite correct.

"So, get out of the way, you bastards!!" Artoria brandished her greatsword as she pierced through a Roman legion that was holding her back. Like a tiger entering a flock, the armor was covered with blood—a thick, dull layer of blood on the dried splinters, a bright red on the viscous and dull blood...... Layered on top of each other, the armor couldn't see its original color at all. And yet the blood kept on and on, and on, and on...... It makes Artoria really look like a monster...... "Ahhh......!!!!h That's it. After killing this layer of Romans, there were only less than 500 Guards left. As long as they are chiseled, then behind them is the flag of the Eastern Roman Empire, the banner of the Holy Trinity, which represents the highest glory, and the magnificent eagle banner, which represents the symbol of Rome. In addition, it was the beautiful Eastern Roman Emperor...... "Haha-hahaha!!!!" Artoria laughed wildly and killed the group of Imperial Guards who were wrapped in iron armor and formed an extremely tight defensive array - as long as they were killed, they would be the Eastern Roman Emperor!

Soon, however, the hearty laughter turned into a roar. Artoria was caught in a bitter battle—two if one wasn't enough, ten if two wasn't enough—and nearly five hundred Imperial Guards trapped Artoria in the midst of it, taking turns fighting her in teams. With a ruthless force, he actually stopped the queen stiffly.

Despite Artoria's roar of rage and desperate fighting, the great sword slashed horizontally and vertically, slicing the men and their weapons and armor into pieces, and quickly killed dozens of Royal Guards soldiers. But if you want to break through their obstacles quickly, you can't. And just in this moment's effort. The Celtic array was torn apart again. This time, it was the turn of thousands of people on the right flank to be surrounded, and they were about to be crushed!

"Shit-shit, shit, shit!!!" Artoria slew an enemy with each yelling. The black greatsword wielded with all his strength completely ignored the two layers of heavy armor on the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, like a knife cutting through butter, without hindrance, and the cutting surface was smooth enough to be used as a mirror!

However, such an angry roar also represents the helplessness in Artoria's heart—if this continues, her army will probably be wiped out...... In such a situation, the empress of the other party would definitely not stay where she was and wait for her to kill. In other words, she is one step slower in this battle, and there is no possibility of winning.

After thinking about this, Artoria turned and killed her behind her, in the direction where the Celtic army was.

Watching Artoria leave. Lilianu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it's not a good thing to be targeted by such a terrifying character. However, at this moment, Artoria turned her head sharply, and stared at Lilianu as if her real gaze was through thousands of soldiers.

At that time, Lilianu fell into an ice cellar as if she were being targeted by something terrifying, as helpless as a weak and helpless child entangled in a giant forest worm, or as helpless as a young deer bitten by a giant bay crocodile. The body is stiff and completely unable to move, not even blinking.

She could clearly see Artoria's lips open, as if to say something. It's just that it's too far away to hear at all, and she doesn't know lip language, so she can't see it. But despite this, she understood what Artoria was trying to say.

"Wait until I get back. ”

Lilianu didn't know why, but Lilianu knew that Artoria meant it. And this state of affairs did not disappear until Artoria turned her head and slashed to pieces an idiot who wanted to sneak up on her while she wasn't looking. It was only a matter of moments, and Lilianu was already in a cold sweat. I feel more tired than just after a fierce battle and commanding an army.

"No...... Absolutely not...... Such a dangerous creature must not live any longer - kill her, kill her before she kills me. That's right, kill her!"

Immediately, Lilianu made her decision. She sent more troops to attack Artoria, hoping to kill her. However, those armies were scattered by her. Unless it's an elite warrior like the Royal Guards. Otherwise, no one will be able to stop Artoria. This only adds to her record. And the Guards...... At this moment, Lilianu was extremely insecure. That's why it's necessary for this strong army to be by her side. She had no intention of sending the Guards out again.

In this way, Artoria quickly fought her way back to her own general. found her guards knights who were fighting on the battlefield, and then gave them an order: "Pass the order of the main palace, we will retreat!
