Jorton couldn’t help but grin, looking at the retreating coalition forces on the battlefield.
The other commanders all had an expression of “it’s only natural.”
The coalition army was a motley crew, each with their own agenda, making it difficult to unite them into a single force. Their combat strength was inherently inferior to the imperial army, so defeat was expected.
Stari laughed, “The coalition’s main force is here. Once we deal them a heavy blow, it will be much easier to deal with them later.”
Jorton laughed heartily, then turned to see Bred looking thoughtful. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Bred shook his head, pondering, “The coalition army can’t possibly defeat the empire on the front lines. The commander on their side can’t possibly not know this. In the past, they’ve always used beheading tactics to turn the tide, but they haven’t made a single move until now.”
Jorton nonchalantly said, “They probably think we’re prepared and that a night attack won’t be successful, so they’ve given up.”
“Perhaps,” Bred said noncommittally.
“Duke Bred needn’t worry.”
A seductive voice suddenly came from the side.
Just by listening to the voice, everyone present felt a strange heat rise in their bodies, their hearts stirred.
They all knew how alluring and beautiful the owner of the voice was, the most beautiful woman they had ever met.
However, no one dared to linger their gaze on the owner of the voice for too long, lest they incur her displeasure.
“Master sent me here to deal with those wizard apprentices.”
“If they come, just leave it to me.”
The Red Widow chuckled.
Two figures cloaked in robes stood motionless behind her.
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Bred said respectfully.
The woman in front of him was one of the two right-hand men of Lord Su Nan, a core member of the Star Alliance. Even the emperor would give her some respect, and even though Bred was a duke, he didn’t dare to be the slightest bit disrespectful.
The Red Widow smiled and glanced at the two figures behind her.
With them, the entire Starlight Continent could not find anyone she feared.
At this moment, the two figures simultaneously looked towards the distance, paused slightly, and raised their hands to fire a bolt of lightning at the same time.
The two bolts of lightning tore through the air, hitting the void over 500 meters away almost simultaneously.
In an instant, the void twisted, and two men in gray robes appeared simultaneously, stumbling back a step.
Their faces were full of astonishment.
They thought they would have to get within a hundred meters before being detected by the puppets surrounding their target, but they were discovered from such a distance.
What kind of people were those two cloaked figures?
Their senses were far too keen!
“Attack!”
A low shout rang out suddenly.
Seeing that he had been discovered, Fakado no longer hid, appearing decisively and dashing towards his target.
At the same time, over twenty wizard apprentices appeared from thin air, their faces cold and grim as they launched attacks at Bred and his group.
“Those guys again!”
Jorton, instead of being surprised, was overjoyed. He drew his weapon and was about to charge forward to fight, but Bred stopped him.
“Don’t be impulsive. Don’t forget your identity.”
Bred gave Jorton a helpless look. He was already a marquis, how could he still be so reckless?
You’re a First-Ring Legendary Knight and you want to fight third-rank wizard apprentices?
What’s the difference between that and seeking death?
“Leave the assassins to the Red Widow.” Bred said.
Jorton clicked his tongue, but stopped.
On the other side, seeing the assassins appear, a seductive smile bloomed on the Red Widow’s face.
“We’ve been waiting for you.”
With a sweet laugh, the two figures behind her lifted their cloaks, revealing their tall, slender figures and delicate, beautiful cold faces.
Whoosh!
Liquid silver metal flowed from the palms of the two girls, quickly forming two knight’s longswords.
Next, the two girls, wielding dual swords, darted towards the assassins like arrows.
After the scene where their presence was discovered beforehand, Fakado and the others didn’t underestimate the two young girls. The two wizard apprentices who were at the forefront sneered, one suddenly roared, and from his nose, mouth, and every pore of his body, blazing red flames erupted.
The flames soared fiercely, burning fiercely, churning and intertwining to form a three-meter-tall wolf, crashing towards the girl on the left like a raging tide.
The other one quickly recited an incantation, and countless emerald green mists appeared from thin air, condensing into a monstrously huge beast head, opening its bloody maw and biting fiercely at the girl on the right.
In the face of these attacks, the two girls’ response was surprisingly consistent.
With a whoosh, silver liquid metal flowed from their bodies, quickly enveloping them, as if coating them with a layer of silvery skin.
Whether it was the fiery wolf or the poisonous beast maw, they were blocked by the seemingly thin layer of silver metal skin.
Shhh!
Taking advantage of the close distance and their inability to dodge, the girl on the left stabbed her sword into the fiery wolf’s body. With a twist of her wrist, a muffled sound, as if a sharp blade were cutting through flesh, suddenly erupted. Countless sharp blades suddenly sprouted from all over the wolf’s body, instantly turning him into a porcupine.
“Ah!!”
The fiery wolf let out a piercing scream, filled with disbelief.
In the form of a fiery wolf, physical attacks should have been completely ineffective against him, even magical weapons could hardly harm him, yet the sword that pierced his body had taken his life.
At the same time, screams came from the other side.
Dense metal spikes tore through the emerald green beast maw in a raging storm, drowning the wizard apprentice opposite.
As the metal storm swept past, the wizard apprentice burst into a bloody mist, not even a single speck of residue remained!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, a kaleidoscope of magical light swirled, engulfing the two girls.
However, when the light dissipated, all the wizard apprentices were shocked to find that the two girls were completely unscathed.
An invisible force field, seemingly thin but unbreakable, enveloped their entire bodies.
Fakado and the others were already pale.
Just one encounter, two skilled third-rank wizard apprentices were instantly killed, and they were able to block everyone’s attacks unscathed, this power was simply terrifying!
When did the Star Alliance have such powerful figures, and even two of them?
Fakado quickly recalled the intelligence he had gathered about the Star Alliance.
The Star Alliance should only have one female third-rank wizard apprentice, Rose. But where did these two girls, who looked exactly alike and seemed to be twins, come from?
Before they could figure it out, the two girls had already charged towards them expressionlessly, shooting out a barrage of dense magical missiles with their hands.
“Instantaneous spellcasting!” A wizard apprentice exclaimed in horror.
But even more shocking things were to come.
Serpent Pattern Seal, Lightning Bolt, Exhaustion Ray.
One spell after another was unleashed from the two girls’ hands, quickly taking down two wizard apprentices.
“Third-Ring Spells!”
“How is that possible?!”
“Are these two formal wizards?”
The wizard apprentices were filled with horror.
Third-Ring Spells, plus what seemed to be liquid metal manipulation as an innate ability, these two girls did indeed seem to be formal wizards.
But how was that possible?
As third-rank wizard apprentices themselves, they knew how difficult it was to become a wizard.
It was already incredible that the Starlight Continent had produced a Su Nan. How could it possibly produce two more wizards?
And they were twins?
For a moment, Fakado and the others were filled with disbelief and felt utterly ridiculous.
“Ah!!”
A scream suddenly rang out.
One of the girls appeared behind a wizard apprentice as if flashing, her longsword suddenly transformed into countless sharp blades that pierced the latter’s body.
Another comrade died!
Everyone woke up from their daze and unleashed their spells in retaliation.
In the face of two opponents who were far more powerful than expected, they no longer dared to be the slightest bit dismissive, unleashing their strongest attack techniques.
Especially when they saw Fakado take out a bead, the wizard apprentices intensified their offensive, tying down the two girls to buy time for Fakado.
The bead was the size of an egg, perfectly round, as crystal clear as a diamond, shining with a beautiful luster in the sunlight.
As Fakado poured his spiritual power into it, the bead suddenly lit up, as if all the surrounding sunlight was being sucked into it.
The light quickly became blindingly bright, visible to the naked eye.
In the next instant, the bead suddenly hummed and trembled, and a blindingly brilliant beam of light shot out from the bead, almost instantly reaching the girl in front of it.
Even with the girl’s agility and swiftness, she couldn’t dodge in time this time, so she had to control the liquid metal to concentrate in front of her, forming a palm-sized silver shield.
Tick!
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, and then, with a muffled sound, the silver shield was pierced by the beam of light. Then came the protective shield, the Extreme Protection Ring, the Element Energy Protection, and the Energy Particle Protective Layer.
In a split second, all five layers of the girl’s protection were broken, the beam of light hit her brow without any obstruction, and pierced through her head, exiting from the back of her skull!
Seeing this, Kair and the others all showed gleeful expressions.
“As expected of the Russell family’s ancestral magic artifact, its power is truly formidable!”
Kair was both delighted and awed.
They had just experienced firsthand how strong the girl’s defenses were.
She had taken dozens of spells without a scratch, it was simply terrifying.
Fortunately, Fakado’s Sunmelting Bead did not disappoint!
Fakado took a few quick breaths, his face slightly pale, but as he looked at the hole in the girl’s brow, a smile appeared on his face.
But the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
The companions around him also showed expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
The girl’s brow twitched, and silvery liquid flowed out from the pores of her surrounding skin, quickly filling in the wound, instantly filling the wound. Then, with a flash of silver, her skin returned to its original white complexion, and the wound had disappeared.
The girl shook her head and continued to charge towards them expressionlessly.
“!!!”
Everyone stared in disbelief.
What was going on?
It clearly hit a fatal spot, why was she completely fine?
Fakado was even more dumbfounded.
He knew best how powerful the Sunmelting Bead was.
That beam of sunlight, when it pierced the girl’s brow, the extreme scorching energy contained in the beam should have roasted her entire head, no matter how tenacious a creature’s vitality, it couldn’t possibly survive!
—Unless she had integrated some kind of special bloodline, her head wasn’t a vital spot, or she simply wasn’t a creature in the conventional sense!
A shocking thought suddenly flashed through Fakado’s mind.
His expression fluctuated for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and activated the Sunmelting Bead again, shooting out a beam of light that hit a girl.
This time he aimed at her left chest, and deliberately changed the energy properties, causing the beam to explode instantly when it hit, instantly blowing a hole the size of two fists in the girl’s chest, vaguely showing the flowing silver liquid inside, as well as a silver-gray crystal as bright as a gemstone.
“Soul Core!”
Fakado was struck by lightning as if he were struck by a bolt from the blue, his entire body instantly went numb.
The other wizard apprentices who saw this scene also widened their eyes, showing an expression as if they had seen something incredible.
The Soul Core, these two girls who were so powerful, they could fight two against many and make them feel defeated, were puppet creatures!
How was that possible?!
How could a puppet be so powerful?
For a moment, Fakado and the others were in disarray.
They were already at a disadvantage, and now they were even less of a match for the two girls.
One by one, the wizard apprentices fell to the girls’ hands.
Fakado wanted to activate the Sunmelting Bead, but after using it twice in a row, his spiritual power had reached its limit. Now, he couldn’t even unleash a few spells, let alone activate the Sunmelting Bead.
After ten breaths, out of the twenty wizard apprentices who had attacked the imperial camp, including Fakado, only four were still standing.
Looking at the two girls who stood before and behind them, expressionlessly blocking their retreat, Fakado experienced the meaning of despair for the first time in his life.
“Fakado Russell, current patriarch of the Russell family, correct?”
A beautiful woman walked over, her gaze scrutinizing him meaningfully.
Fakado gritted his teeth, “Who are you?”
“The Red Widow.”
Fakado’s heart jumped.
He had seen this name in intelligence reports, it seemed to be one of the core members of the Star Alliance.
Ignoring Fakado’s reaction, the Red Widow chuckled, “Surrender. If it wasn’t for Master having some interest in the Russell family and ordering me to spare your lives, you would have been dead long ago.”
Fakado was stunned and looked around. He realized that the three survivors were all wizard apprentices of his family.
After realizing this fact, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy, but instead became even more bitter.
In the midst of battle, he could still selectively choose targets to attack, which undoubtedly meant that the two puppet girls were not going all out, but still had room to spare. This was undoubtedly a more despairing fact.
With a deep sigh, Fakado’s heart was filled with despair and he lowered his arms.
“We surrender.”
The second update should be too late. There’s only one update today, and I apologize to everyone. The second update is owed, and that counts as the one update I owe the Alliance Leader. So now I owe two updates in total, and I’ll definitely make it up! Thank you for your support and subscriptions!
