Chapter 166 The Goddess's Duty

Even at a disadvantage, Ligredo still maintained her command ability. Several infantrymen, a mage, and artillerymen formed a combat group, and the groups formed a square formation, and the square formations formed their current circle. Ligredo frequently flashed to save the defense lines that were on the verge of collapse.

However, with a force ratio of nearly 15:1, even the goddess was unable to save the crisis. Ligredo and her soldiers were gradually compressed into the small circle in the center. The soldiers who had no hope of escape had firm and angry eyes.

"The trapped beast is still fighting, the final battle will be very difficult."

Richard sat on the thick tree trunk, accompanied by Onyxia, Fina and Diluka. The dragons could not fight in the forest, so they had to be arranged to monitor from the sky. The militants were all eager to catch a loser and deal with him.

Diluka remained silent. Richard pulled her over and pointed to the front and asked, "How do you think your sister will deal with this situation? No matter how you look at it, she can't escape. What will she choose with her cowardly character? Surrender?"

"I don't know."

Onyxia interrupted, "Look at her eyes, she is very determined, and there is no trace of cowardice. It is interesting to trap such an enemy."

After saying that, Onyxia licked her lips, as if she was hungry.

In the center of the battlefield, facing more and more enemies, a drop of cold sweat flowed down Ligredo's head. As her sister said, she is very timid. There are two beliefs that can make her fight to this point. One is that she vowed to rescue her sister Diluka from the evil demons, and the other is that she must fight against the invaders in order to protect the people.

Previously, there was a problem in the forbidden area in the south, and Ligredo's unusual attack was also to implement this belief. Not only was she affected by this belief, but also the soldiers blessed by Galar. Galar gave them blessings, allowing them to have stronger combat power and face weaker enemies than usual. But even with the blessing of the divine equipment, casualties are inevitable. Everyone is his own people, and it is impossible not to feel distressed, but Ligredo can always see hope, so no matter how difficult the battle is, Ligredo can hold on.

But now it is different. Richard's troops also have the protection of divine power, and the strength of both sides has returned to normal. Richard's troops have been rolling in the blood of Lil'Vana, Azeroth, and the Spring Kingdom of Ada for a long time, and they are full of combat experience. Most of Gretz's soldiers are new recruits who have never seen blood. The few combat experiences they have are also accumulated with Yorum. However, when fighting with Yorum, Yorum rarely uses strategies, and the battle is just a rush. It is also difficult to launch a decent counterattack when encountering regular troops.

This is already the last line of defense, and Ligredo knows that she has no way out. Is it really okay for me to fight here with the soldiers and watch them die one by one? This is a kind of torture, and what tortures me even more is that my beloved sister Diluka is in the opposite team. No, it can't be like this! I have to protect everyone! I must stand up like a goddess, everyone trusts me so much, I must respond to everyone! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! I can do it, I can definitely do it!

"Everyone stop!"

The divine power spread the voice to every corner of the battlefield. Ligredo's soldiers immediately stopped fighting. Richard's soldiers also stopped fighting under the command of the junior officers. Everyone was looking at Ligredo floating in the air.

Ligado was a little nervous. After adjusting for a while, she mustered up her courage and shouted, "Demon leader on the opposite side, please stand up. I challenge you to a duel. If you win, we will lay down our weapons. If I win, you must retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, someone among Ligado's soldiers shouted, "Lady Ligado! We can still fight. Let us fight until the last moment!"

"No!" Ligado shouted, "This is an order! Everyone is already very tired. I can't allow everyone to continue to face danger! This is my duty as a goddess!"

Ligado's soldiers were stunned. They had never seen Ligado so serious and stern. Not only them, but Diluka was also stunned by the smile full of courage and kindness. This was the first time that she saw a smile that fit the status of a goddess on Ligredo.

Richard patted Diluka on the shoulder and said, "It is the behavior of a warrior to stand up to protect your own soldiers."

Diluka bit her lower lip. Ligredo's performance this time really surprised her. Richard patted Diluka's leg again, with his palm facing up to ask for something.

Diluka asked, "What?"

"Your sword."

Diluka looked at Richard in shock. Richard narrowed his eyes. Diluka couldn't persuade him and could only put the Nibelungen in Richard's hand.

The emotions of the soldiers of Gretz returned to stability. Ligredo looked forward again. Richard jumped onto the grass. The soldiers in front stood on both sides to make way for Richard. Richard walked over slowly.

Ligredo flew back to the ground and asked, "Are you their leader?"

Richard shook Nibelungen and said, "You're asking even though you know the answer."

Ligredo's attention was immediately drawn to Nibelungen: "Is that my sister's sword? What did you do to my sister!"

Richard smiled a smile that all men understand: "Guess?"

Ligredo's hand holding the gun tightened obviously. Richard pointed to the branch: "Your sister is watching over there now."

Ligredo's eyes narrowed into a slit. It was really difficult to see a person's face at this distance, but her clothes and appearance were similar to her sister's.

"Since you're out, let's start fighting!" The soldiers retreated, leaving half a kilometer of space for the two. Onyxia walked over and set up a transparent barrier on the side, so that the two could see outside but could not hear the sound outside.

Ligredo's face was tense, and a strong divine power was surrounding her. The leaves and snow were rolled up by the divine power and were very imposing.

"This is the real guardian of the frozen cloud..." Richard muttered softly. This power also had a certain impact on Richard. Richard felt the pressure of Galar for the first time. Ligredo used all her strength at the beginning, and Richard's body was as if it was filled with lead and had difficulty moving.

"You demons who trample on other people's land and destroy peace and tranquility are not worthy of sympathy!"

Ligredo rushed up, and Richard's fingers immediately turned into tentacles. The tentacles were wrapped into an arc and flicked upwards, and the Nibelungen accurately blocked the tip of Galar's gun.

Ligredo showed a disgusted look on her face: "Filthy monster! You have defiled the Nibelung! Accept my punishment!"
