Behind him followed a large army in gleaming armor.
The rapid clatter of hooves echoed across the broken earth, creating a series of rhythmic booms.
At the same time, the soldiers' sturdy armor clanged against each other as the horses galloped, producing a crisp metallic sound.
The army swept in heavily like a wave, its momentum imposing.
Those were the private army of the Marquis of Sancher, whose armor bore the coat of arms unique to the Bryant family.
Upon seeing this, the residents who could clearly see the Marquis of Sancher's face immediately suppressed their rebellious emotions.
After all, he was a marquis from his own country, completely different from those foreign mages.
If anyone disobeys, they may indeed be dealt with according to military law on the grounds of obstructing military operations.
Under the Marquis's orders, the residents fell silent and quietly joined the evacuation.
Due to the large number of people, the mages had to use teleportation magic in batches to evacuate the residents.
Marquis Sancher, mounted on his horse, watched the residents gradually depart.
No one dared to show any disrespect to the marquis who had just saved their lives and whose authority was still intact.
As the light burst forth in bursts, the residents' evacuation plan was nearing its end.
After the last person left, a monk approached the Marquis of Sancher, bowed respectfully, and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you very much, Marquis."
"You're too kind, we're all family."
Compared to before, Marquis Sancher's attitude towards the mages was much more friendly.
He even pointed to the sky.
The monk immediately nodded, showing an expression of 'understanding'.
Then, the Marquis of Sancher asked another question:
"By the way, those demi-humans... are they also leaving Shulbon?"
These hundreds of thousands of subhumans were gathered by the Marquis of Sancher in just one week.
If we allow them all to leave now, it would only mean, as previously promised, letting them regain their freedom.
However, releasing these hundreds of thousands of demi-humans so easily will definitely cause great chaos.
Marquis Sancher was originally responsible for helping to bring the demi-humans here.
As for how to deal with these guys, that depends on what Victor decides to do.
Who could have imagined that things would escalate so much with Viktor?
Upon hearing the Marquis's words, the mage appeared slightly troubled, and after pondering for a moment, he said:
“If it’s something Congressman Clavner needs, then… you’d better leave them here for now.”
“I believe the congressman will not turn a blind eye to them.”
After all, that was the demi-human that Victor specifically requested.
No one dared to touch them, and absolutely no one could touch them.
Marquis Sancher pondered for a moment, then nodded and looked up at the sky.
And what we see before us...
They were two beings so powerful that they instilled despair in the Marquis; their mere presence was enough to shock him.
This power was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, but Marquis Sancher, as a high-ranking warrior, could still sense it to some extent.
Dull, anxious, chaotic, solemn, pure, ultimate...
That is the power of the gods.
Viktor seems to be caught in the middle between the two goddesses, putting him in a difficult position.
The Marquis of Sancher looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
“Mr. Victor… is quite popular.”
...
At this moment, the sky was completely covered by a terrifying force.
The deep blackness covered the entire sky like a giant curtain, and the low gloom seemed to drape the space in a light veil.
Viktor fell silent after the roar that came from the sky.
Even the 'Gwen' in front of him remained motionless for a long time.
Then, Victor heard the goddess on his shoulder let out a soft sigh of relief.
"Ha, it feels so good to let it out, I almost suffocated."
She seemed a little unaccustomed to her new body, sitting on Victor's shoulders, occasionally clenching her fists or kicking her legs, appearing to be trying very hard.
She glanced at the silent Viktor, feeling somewhat puzzled:
"Huh? Viktor, why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute?"
Suddenly, as if realizing something, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
She crossed one leg, striking a haughty, queen-like pose, and asked mockingly:
"No way, Viktor, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"Do you feel like a stranger to me now that you see how capable I've become?"
"Didn't expect I'd stand up for you? Hahahaha!"
She frantically slapped Victor's other shoulder with her palm, laughing wildly in the thick darkness.
She seems completely unconcerned about whether her current stunning image will be ruined.
After a while, her smile gradually faded.
But the satisfied smile on his face hadn't faded; he still wore a smug grin and said in a superior tone:
"Oh dear, isn't it normal for a god to protect its messengers? Victor, don't be so surprised."
"You've prepared so many offerings for me, isn't it only natural that I help you fight a goddess?"
Hearing this, Victor was basically able to determine who this very outgoing goddess sitting on his shoulders was.
He had some guesses, but at the time he wasn't quite sure.
It wasn't until he heard her particularly irritating tone that he finally confirmed it:
“…Vega?”
"Huh? Why are you suddenly calling my name?"
That's completely confirmed now.
Although the goddess sitting on his shoulders felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
However, if Victor were to sense the contractual link between him and Vega even slightly, he could feel that sense of familiarity.
However, he still couldn't quite believe it.
He was silent for a moment, then asked a very unusual question.
"You're a woman?"
Upon hearing this question, the goddess on his shoulder also fell silent.
At that moment, she seemed to understand why Viktor had suddenly fallen silent when he saw her.
So, she also gave a rather unusual response:
"no……"
"I never told you I was male, did I?"
