Location: Atoll City
Thousands of allied troops outside the city slept peacefully amidst the flames.
The lightly wounded city lord led his guards to the city gate and erected simple tombstones for those who had sacrificed their lives in this battle.
"Are you... Elsie Tiran?" The city lord stared blankly at the figure in the setting sun.
In the glow of the setting sun, he couldn't even make out Elsie's face!
She was high above, like a savior sent by Sia!
Another example is the goddess who symbolizes death and peace.
"Hmm." Elsie nodded, took a deep breath, and recovered her strength slightly. In the distance, Connor also led the main force to follow her.
"Is it Princess Windsor...?" A soldier with a broken leg excitedly leaned on a wooden stick and looked at Elsie.
Elsie did not deny it, nor was there any need for her to deny it.
Suddenly, the city lord and a large number of soldiers knelt down on one knee before Elsie: "Your Highness Elsie, please save the Kingdom of Saijing!"
"The king was killed in battle, the royal family was slaughtered, and the people were displaced."
“We need a new queen. She can be a subject of any family, but when all the nobles chose to flee, only the Shia family stood up, just like thousands of years ago.”
"And you represent the Sia family, and your mother also died fighting for the Kingdom of Saijing."
"Your Highness!"
The city lord knelt before Elsie: "Please save your people!"
"..." Elsie pulled on the reins, turned the car around, and headed further away.
So, your choice is...
"As for becoming king, that's up to you!" Elsie turned to look at the city lord and the soldiers, and said, "You are not anyone's tools."
"I joined this war only to end this pointless struggle."
"I have no right to interfere with your freedom."
"I would rather you live for yourselves than be ruled by others. Go, follow your hearts!"
"And I will embark on my own path."
As the sun set, the city lord and his soldiers, along with the surviving citizens, watched Elsie depart into the distance, as if they had made some kind of decision.
...
The war lasted for more than a month, and the sudden appearance of Elsie on the battlefield completely disrupted the rhythm of the Holy Temple's attack on Saijing.
The idea that one person can form an army seems to have become a living reality.
Whether by day or night, their rushing figures became an inescapable nightmare for the Allied forces.
They often stared at the smoke of battle, listened to the tremors of the earth, and prayed that the Lord himself would not encounter Elshir.
But eventually, they had to face it. One besieged city after another was liberated with Elsie's intervention, and this invincible heavy armored knight instantly became a nightmare on the battlefield.
Her story spread to the far north as it was told by wandering bards.
Paul took the letter from the front lines, frowned, and said to the recovered Hagen, "Elsie has appeared."
"Of course, we no longer need those absurd reasons; we just need to attack with all our might."
Pope Paul gripped the angel pendant on his chest and said, "The elixir of heaven has been given to the entire army. After they die, they will enter the depths of heaven, and the Lord will treat these brave warriors with mercy."
"But before everyone ascends to heaven..."
Paul stared at Hagen and said, "Elsie must die."
“She is doomed!” Hagen swore a blood oath.
...
With the turn of events in the war against the Saijing royal family, the various city lords in the rear united to form a massive city defense coalition.
On the one hand, it was to expand the shelters so that the refugees could rest and recuperate; on the other hand, it was to help Elsie defeat those small groups of Templar forces that were roaming the battlefield.
Elsie stood in the Silver Maple Forest outside Stromgarde, scrutinizing the army that had come from Stromgarde.
“Last year, one of our people lies buried here.” Elsie’s longsword sliced through the grass, the rising energy from the blade proclaiming her fury.
"This year, we have returned here, returned to this meadow that once caused us so much pain."
Elsie pointed her longsword at the distant Stromgarde army and gritted her teeth, saying, "Gentlemen, follow me and charge!"
"Kill!!!" The Blood Rider unleashed an unusual fighting spirit.
Today, it is not only for the Blood Riders who died covering Elsie's escape, but also to declare war on the Henghai royal family.
This battle is not only against the Holy Temple, but also against the Lanting Royal Family and the Henghai Royal Family!
...
The battle was brutal, but it seemed that only the soldiers of Stromgarde could truly understand its cruelty.
Flames and wind converged on the battlefield, incinerating the remains of the fallen. Elsie's first wave of attack shattered their lines!
The Stromgarde army, already intimidated by the rumors, instantly lost its will to fight and launched a second attack alongside the Blood Riders.
At this moment, the army of Stromgarde was completely fleeing, without any intention of resisting, and was slaughtered in an instant!
At this very moment, the Assassin Brothers led by Yagenan also brought good news of their successful capture of the city lord.
Those Hagrid's Scepter members who had been imprisoned in the dungeons were all rescued, and Stromgarde was thus restored to Scepter control.
The elders of the Hagrid family, representing the Scepter faction, expressed their gratitude to Elsie and pledged to fight valiantly against the Shield Faction's advance, welcoming reinforcements to resupply there.
at the same time……
"Have a safe journey, Your Highness."
The elders of the Scepter faction waved goodbye to Elsie and the others as they departed from the city walls.
...
A month later, the war with the Saijing royal family seemed to be completely stabilized, and the Holy Temple was regrouping the allied forces of various countries.
The Black Bone Fortress of the Henghai Kingdom seemed to have become the best gathering place, with the massive allied forces resembling a dark swarm of ants.
The Allied commanders discussed the legendary figure who had dominated the battlefield, Elsie, who could single-handedly cut through the enemy lines!
“She hasn’t shown her full strength. I’m certain that numbers are definitely not the way to defeat her,” said the commander of the Grenadier royal family.
“That’s right. I’ve witnessed her power on the edge of the battlefield. Perhaps only someone with her equal strength can defeat her,” said the commander of the Hagrid family’s Shield faction. “And our warriors… hmph, at best they can only be considered as grains of sand to wear her down.”
"..." Welch opened his only remaining eye, the light in it as bright as the sun. Most of his body was decaying, but his armor concealed it all.
“I have already informed the Holy Temple that Earl Allen will personally come to fight her.”
"!" The commander of the Genna royal family was startled and hesitated slightly before saying, "Count Ellen?"
"Earl Ellen!" The commander of the Hagrid family's Holy Shield faction was extremely excited.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to worry about Elsie's threat; her death is something the Lord can be certain of." Welch revealed a row of sharp teeth: "And tomorrow, I will be the first to confront her on behalf of the Earl!"
