When Anrietta arrived at the battlefield, the situation had become extremely bad.

Albion's air fleet had an absolute advantage, with those huge warships flying leisurely in the air and firing shells at the ground mercilessly. Facing Albion's aerial bombardment, Tristin's soldiers could only hide in the cracks of the mountain and use magic to build barriers to resist.

Of course, this kind of resistance doesn't make much sense.

"The enemy's army has been integrated and will probably start action immediately after a round of bombardment."

The Grand Councilor spoke, while Anrietta looked at the battle situation in front of her with a pale face.

"What are our chances of winning?"

“Probably less than 50%.”

“…”

Hearing this, Anrietta fell silent. In fact, she knew very well that even if they resisted the attack here, it would be useless. Now that Albion had officially launched an attack on Toristin, Germania would no longer mention the matter of concluding a military alliance, and her wedding would be completely ruined. Even if they resisted Albion's attack here, they could not expect reinforcements from other places.

"Sir Mazzariani."

"Your Highness?"

“I’ve been hesitant.”

As she spoke, Anrietta opened her hands, and in her hands was a round red gem.

"Princess, what is this?"

"This is a tool for summoning gods."

"Summon...a god?"

The Grand Councilor was a little confused by what Anrietta said.

"What do you mean by this?"

"That's what I want to say. I can summon the gods and promise to give them everything I have, so that I can get the gods' protection and defeat the enemy. But... that is a god from another world. If I give it everything, then this country..."

"Your Highness, you are not saying that you want to change the state religion!"

Hearing this, Mazzariani was shocked.

“Do you know what consequences this will lead to? Romania will not sit idly by!”

"I will not change the state religion, but I will tell the people that we were saved by the gods from another world, and they do not require us to build churches or spread doctrines."

"There are such gods?"

Hearing this, Mazzagliani became even more confused, while Anrietta shook her head.

"We'll talk about the specifics when the time comes. The question now is... should I do this... To be honest, I've been hesitant. But now, I've made a decision."

"Your Highness..."

"Since we can even choose to marry other countries in order to protect our own country, then asking for help from the gods of other worlds is not a big deal, right?"

"But……!"

"Sir Mazzariani, I have made up my mind. I know what this will entail, but if Tristin no longer exists, then all this will be meaningless, right?"

“…”

This time, the military minister did not say anything, he just bowed his head deeply and saluted the princess. And Anrietta took a deep breath and walked forward. Seeing the princess coming to the front line, the generals and soldiers beside her were all shocked. They all wanted to come up to dissuade her, but Anrietta shook her head and asked them to step aside. Then she looked at the soldiers in front of her.

"I'm so sorry, everyone. I know the situation is not good right now. Frankly speaking, I think everyone understands what we are going to face..."

"We are not afraid, Princess!"

Hearing this, a soldier shouted, and the general next to him also raised his hand.

"That's right, we are loyal to Tristan. Even if Tristan is destroyed, we will never frown!"

"Fight for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Tristin!!"

At once, the soldiers around started shouting, and looking at the smiles on those smoke-stained, bloodied faces, Anrietta's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but I don't want Tristin to perish. After all, this is our country... As a princess, I have a duty to protect this country and its people."

"……?"

After hearing what Anrietta said, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They were not fools, but experienced soldiers. They all saw the current situation. They also knew the final outcome. But even so, they still did not choose to give up. They had decided to live and die with this country.

But Her Royal Highness the Princess said so...

"Your Highness, you are not going to surrender?"

At this moment, a soldier suddenly spoke timidly. Logically speaking, he had no right to talk to the princess, but at the moment, no one cared about such a trivial matter.

"Of course not."

Anrietta shook her head.

"If I kneel down and kiss their shoes, I can make them change their minds and stop killing our people and invading our country, then I will do it. But it is useless. We are too weak. Everything we do and everything we expect is not worth mentioning to them. Therefore, our only choice is to become strong. And now..."

Having said this, Anrietta raised the gem in her hand.

"Please grant me...strength!"

As Anrietta spoke, the gem in her hand shattered easily like an egg with a "pop", and then an incomparable flame spurted out from it, quickly wrapping Anrietta in it, and then turned into a pillar of fire, rushing straight into the sky!

"Your Highness!"

Everyone was shocked to see this. They rushed forward and tried to pull Anrietta out of the flames, but the high temperature that was enough to burn their souls prevented them from getting even a step closer. They could only watch the pillar of fire rising into the sky, turning the originally blue sky into a fiery red.

"It looks like Anrietta has made her decision."

Looking at the pillar of fire in the distance, Red Ponytail snorted softly, then looked at Louise beside her.

"Okay, Louise, you know what to do. This is your debut as the Heir of the Void, so don't mess it up."

"I won't, don't worry, Saber! But...what are you going to do?"

"Hey, actually I didn't intend to make it so complicated, but they are just mortals, and if I don't teach them a lesson, they won't understand."

Thinking of this, Red Ponytail sighed helplessly, then grabbed Louise.

"Okay, let's go."

The next moment, flames burst out from under Red Ponytail's feet and rushed straight up.

At this moment, the pillar of fire emerging from the front line of Toristin also attracted the attention of the Albion fleet. They quickly turned their guns and fired shells at the place where the pillar of fire was. Although they didn't know what it was, they could imagine that it should be Toristin's counterattack. To be on the safe side, it would be better to deal with it first.

"Watch out for the bombardment!!"

At this moment, looking at the oncoming shells, everyone shouted and then quickly chose to dodge.

Just as the shells were about to hit the Toristin position, the pillar of fire suddenly expanded and turned into a burning flame barrier, blocking the outside of the position. The shells were directly blocked and had no effect at all.

"Your Highness?!"

At this time, everyone looked back and then widened their eyes in surprise.

They saw that Anrietta who was standing in front of them was no longer dressed the same way as before. Instead, she was wearing a white dress as sacred and gorgeous as a queen, and holding a golden scepter in her hand. On Anrietta's forehead, a mysterious and wonderful rune was shining with bright red flames.

This is... the contract...

Anrietta lowered her head in surprise, staring at the scepter in her hand and the power surging through her body. She had heard about the process of the contract ceremony from Red Ponytail, but Anrietta had never thought that it would allow her to possess such power...

Anrietta raised the scepter in her hand. Without chanting, she saw clouds in the distance begin to roll, and then thunders came down one after another, hitting Albion's fleet heavily. Those warships obviously did not expect to be attacked at such a long distance, and were caught off guard and immediately struck by lightning. Several warships suddenly burst into flames.

"Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess!!"

Seeing this, the soldiers shouted one after another. They obviously saw what Anrietta had just done. Obviously, this was her power!

But it’s still not enough!

Although the soldiers below were cheering, Anrietta saw clearly that the lightning only had a certain effect on ordinary warships, but did not harm the largest flagship of the Albion fleet... This was not enough!

"Great God, I ask you to grant me strength! Destroy these enemies who invade us!"

While shouting, Anrietta raised the scepter in her hand again.

As she moved, the clouds in the sky began to surge and swirl. The dark clouds appeared from nowhere and covered the entire sky.

Then the entire cloud layer seemed to be on fire and turned bright red.

Then, a huge black shadow emerged from it.

It was a giant dragon that was hundreds of meters long and bright red in color. It had golden eyes and a body that spanned the entire sky. However, unlike ordinary dragons, this dragon's body was as slender as a snake, and on its back, it had a pair of equally bright red wings. It just circled and descended from the sky, landing in flames.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

So...what is it?
