Chapter 207: Bad news, still can't win
"Looks like we're the winner again!"
Looking at the coalition forces being defeated on the battlefield, Jordan couldn't help but grin.
The other generals all looked as if it was a matter of course.
The coalition forces were mixed, and each had its own ideas, so it was difficult for them to unite into one force. They were inferior to the imperial army in terms of combat power, so their defeat was expected.
Starley smiled and said, "The main forces of the coalition are here. As long as we inflict a heavy blow on them, it will be much easier to fight them later."
Qiaoton laughed, but when he turned around, he saw Brad looking thoughtful, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Brad shook his head and said thoughtfully, "The coalition forces cannot be a match for the Empire on the front battlefield. The opposing commander must be aware of this. In the past, they have always carried out decapitation operations to win back a city, but until now, they have not made any moves."
Qiaoton said casually: "They probably thought that we were prepared and the success rate of a night attack was not high, so they gave up."
"Maybe." Brad couldn't deny it.
"Duke Brad has nothing to worry about."
A charming voice suddenly came from the side.
Just by listening to the sound, everyone present felt an inexplicable heat in their bodies, and they were ready to make some moves.
They all knew how charming and beautiful the owner of the voice was, and she could be called the most beautiful woman they had ever met.
However, no one dared to look at the owner of the voice for too long, for fear of causing dissatisfaction to the other party.
"The master sent me here to deal with those wizard apprentices."
"If they come, just let me handle it."
The Red Widow said with a giggle.
Two cloaked figures stood motionless behind her.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Brad said respectfully.
The woman in front of him was one of Lord Sunan's two deputies, a core member of the Star Alliance. Even His Majesty had to give her a certain amount of respect, and even though he was a duke, he dared not neglect her in the slightest.
The Red Widow smiled and glanced at the two figures behind her.
With them around, there might not be any enemy in the entire Starlight Continent that she could fear.
At this moment, two figures suddenly looked up at the distance at the same time. After a slight pause, they raised their hands and shot out a beam of lightning at the same time.
Two bolts of lightning tore through the air and hit the void more than 500 meters away almost at the same time.
In an instant, the void twisted, and two men in gray robes appeared at the same time, staggering back a step.
Both of them had looks of astonishment on their faces.
They thought they had to get at least a hundred meters close to the target before being noticed by the puppets around them, but they didn't expect to be discovered at such a distance.
Where did those two cloaked men come from? Their perception is too sharp!
"Get started!"
A low shout suddenly rang out.
Seeing that his trail had been discovered, Fakado stopped hiding and appeared decisively, rushing towards the target at lightning speed.
At the same time, more than 20 wizard apprentices appeared out of thin air one after another, and attacked Brad and others with cold faces.
"It's you guys again!"
Instead of being surprised, Jordan was delighted. He drew his weapon and was about to rush forward to fight, but was stopped by Brad.
"Don't be impulsive and don't forget your identity."
Brad looked at Jordan helplessly. He was already a marquis, so why was he still acting so recklessly?
You, a first-ring legendary knight, are thinking of fighting a third-level wizard apprentice?
What's the difference between that and seeking death? "Let Lady Red Widow deal with the assassin," Brad said.
Jodon tutted, but still stopped.
On the other side, seeing the assassin appear, Red Widow broke into a charming smile.
"I'm waiting for you."
Amid the sweet laughter, the two figures standing behind her took off their cloaks, revealing their tall and slender figures and delicate and beautiful cold faces.
Crash!
Silver liquid metal gushed out from the palms of the girl's hands and quickly formed two knight swords.
The next moment, two girls holding swords rushed towards the assassin like arrows.
After being discovered in advance, Fakado and others did not underestimate the two young girls. The two wizard apprentices who rushed in the front grinned fiercely, and one of them shouted loudly, and red flames suddenly spurted out of his mouth, nose, and every pore on his body.
The flames rose up fiercely, burning fiercely, surging and interweaving to form a giant wolf about three meters tall, which pounced fiercely on the girl on the left like a rolling wave.
The other person quickly chanted a spell, and countless pale green mists emerged from thin air, condensing into a huge, ferocious beast head, which opened its bloody mouth and bit the girl on the right fiercely.
Faced with the incoming attack, the two girls responded in surprisingly consistent ways.
With a splashing sound, silver metallic liquid gushed out from their bodies and quickly enveloped their entire bodies, as if covering them with a layer of silver skin.
Whether it was the blazing flame wolf or the poisonous beast mouth, after hitting them, they were blocked by the seemingly thin silver metal skin.
Swish! Taking advantage of the close distance and making it difficult to dodge, the girl on the left swung her sword into the flame wolf's body. With a slight twist of her wrist, a muffled sound like a sharp blade cutting flesh and blood suddenly burst out. Countless sharp blades suddenly emerged from the giant wolf's body, instantly turning it into a hedgehog.
"ah!!"
The giant wolf let out a shrill howl with a hint of disbelief.
In the form of a giant fire wolf, physical attacks should have been completely ineffective against him, and even demonic weapons would have difficulty causing damage to him. However, the long sword that pierced his body at this moment directly took his life.
At the same time, screams were heard from the other side.
Dense metal spikes tore through the green beast's mouth like a storm, drowning the wizard apprentice opposite.
As the metal storm swept past, the wizard apprentice exploded into a blood mist, leaving no residue behind! Boom! Boom! Boom! At the same time, colorful magic lights rushed over and drowned the two girls.
However, when the light faded, the wizard apprentices were shocked to find that the two girls were unharmed.
A seemingly thin but indestructible invisible force field enveloped their entire bodies.
Fakado and others' faces changed drastically.
In just one encounter, two powerful third-level wizard apprentices were killed instantly, and they were able to block everyone's attacks without any injury. This strength is simply terrifying! When did the Star Alliance have such powerful people, and two of them? Fakado quickly recalled the Star Alliance intelligence he had collected before.
There should only be one Rose for a female third-level wizard apprentice in the Star Alliance, but where did these two girls who looked exactly the same, like twins, come from? Before they could figure it out, the two girls had already attacked with expressionless faces, and raised their hands to shoot out dense spell missiles.
"Instant spell!" a wizard apprentice exclaimed in horror.
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Serpentine sigils, lightning beams, exhaustion rays. One spell after another was released from the hands of the two girls, and soon two wizard apprentices fell under the powerful and intensive spells.
"Three-ring spell!"
"How is that possible?!"
"Are these two official wizards?"
The wizard apprentices were filled with horror.
With third-level spells and the suspected innate ability of liquid metal manipulation, the two girls in front of him did look like official wizards.
But how is this possible?
As third-level wizard apprentices, they fully understand how difficult it is to be promoted to a wizard.
The appearance of one Su Nan in the Starlight Continent was already incredible, so how was it possible that two more wizards would appear?
And they were twins? For a moment, Fakado and the others were filled with doubt and confusion, thinking it was ridiculous.
"ah!!"
A scream suddenly rang out.
But a young girl appeared behind a wizard apprentice like a flash, and the long sword in her hand suddenly turned into countless sharp blades and pierced through the latter's body.
Another companion died! Everyone woke up from their dream and cast spells to fight back.
Faced with two extraordinarily powerful enemies, they dared not underestimate them at all and used their most powerful means of attack.
Especially when they saw Fakado take out a bead, everyone intensified their offensive and distracted the two girls to buy time for Fakado.
The egg-sized beads are round all over, as crystal clear as diamonds, and shine beautifully in the sunlight.
As Fakado poured his mental power into the bead, it suddenly lit up, as if all the surrounding sunlight was sucked into it.
The light became brighter and more dazzling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone felt as if there was a small sun in their field of vision.
The next moment, the bead suddenly hummed and vibrated, and an extremely bright light suddenly shot out from the bead and arrived in front of a girl almost in the blink of an eye.
Even with the girl's agility and speed, she was unable to dodge in time. She could only control the liquid metal to concentrate in front of her, forming a palm-sized silver shield.
Thump! Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then with a muffled sound, the silver shield was penetrated by light, followed by the shield spell, the protection layer of the Ring of Ultimate Protection, [Elemental Energy Protection], and the energy particle protection layer.
In just a moment, the five layers of defense on the girl's body were broken one after another, and the light hit her forehead without any hindrance, penetrated her head and came out from the back of her head!
Seeing this scene, Kai Lei and others all showed joy on their faces.
"As expected of the Russell family's magical weapon, it is indeed powerful!"
Carlyle was delighted and amazed.
They had just experienced firsthand how strong the girl's defense was.
It's really horrifying that he was unharmed despite being hit by dozens of spells.
Fortunately, Fakado’s Rirongzhu did not disappoint us after all!
Fakado took a few quick breaths and his face turned slightly pale, but when he looked at the hole between the girl's eyebrows, a smile still appeared on his face.
But the next second, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
The companions around him also looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The girl's eyebrows moved, and silvery liquid gushed out from the pores of the surrounding skin, quickly filling the wound, filling it up in a blink of an eye. Then, there was a flash of silver light, and the skin returned to its original white color, and the wound had disappeared long ago.
The girl shook her head and continued to rush towards them with an expressionless face.
"!!!"
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
What is going on?
It was clearly a fatal hit, so why was there no damage at all? Fakado was even more dumbfounded.
He knew best how powerful the Sun-Ronging Pearl was.
When the sunlight ray penetrated the opponent's forehead, the extremely hot energy contained in the ray should have roasted her head. No matter how tenacious the life force was, it would not be possible to survive! - Unless the opponent had a special bloodline, the head was not a vital part, or the opponent was simply not a creature in the usual sense!
A shocking idea suddenly flashed through Fakado's mind.
His expression changed for a moment, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and activated the Sun Melting Pearl again, shooting out a ray of light that hit a girl.
This time he aimed at the opponent's left chest and deliberately changed the energy characteristics so that the energy would burst out suddenly after the ray hit, instantly creating a wound as big as two fists on the girl's chest. One could vaguely see the silver liquid flowing inside, as well as a silver-gray crystal as crystal-clear as a gem.
"Soul core!"
Fakado was stunned as if he was hit by a thunderbolt.
The other wizard apprentices who saw this scene also opened their eyes wide, with a look as if they had seen something incredible.
The two girls at the soul core were so powerful that they could beat many enemies with two of them. They were actually puppet creatures! How is this possible? How could a puppet be so powerful? For a moment, Fakado and the others were in a state of panic.
They were already at a disadvantage, and now they were no match for the two girls.
One after another, the wizard apprentices fell to the girl's hands.
Fakado wanted to activate the Sun Melting Pearl, but after using it twice in a row, his mental power was almost exhausted. Now, let alone activating the Sun Melting Pearl, he could not even cast many spells.
After more than ten breaths, only four of the more than twenty wizard apprentices who raided the imperial camp, including Falkado, were still standing.
Looking at the two girls standing in front and behind him, blocking his way out with expressionless faces, Fakado felt the meaning of despair for the first time in his life.
"Falcardo Russell, the current patriarch of the Russell family, right?"
A beautiful woman came over and looked at him meaningfully.
Fakado gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency?"
"Red Widow."
Fakado was shocked.
He had seen this name in the intelligence, and it seemed that he was one of the core senior officials of the Star Alliance.
Ignoring Fakado's reaction, the Red Widow said with a sweet smile, "Just surrender. If the master hadn't been interested in the Russell family and ordered me to spare your lives, you would have died long ago."
Fakado was stunned for a moment, and looked around, only then did he realize that the three survivors were all wizard apprentices from his family.
After discovering this fact, he did not feel the slightest bit of surprise, but instead felt even more bitter.
The fact that they were able to selectively choose their targets in the fierce battle undoubtedly showed that the two girl puppets had not tried their best and still had some room to spare, which was undoubtedly a fact that made people even more despairing.
With a deep sigh, Fakado lowered his arms in despair.
"We surrender."
It's probably too late for the second update, so there is only one update today. I apologize to everyone. I owe the second update first. Counting the one I still owe to the leader, I now owe two updates in total. I will definitely make up for it! Thank you all for your support and subscription!
