Chapter 203 The Demonic Tide Fades Away
Isabella sensed through the Saint in the far north that at least 600,000 monsters had died on the ground, leaving a scorched earth 50 kilometers wide and 150 kilometers long.
At this time, Isabella received a message from Ling Yi.
After getting the message scroll, Isabella went into the city tower and opened it to read where no one would disturb her.
The letter said that the monsters in the Dark Elf Kingdom had been eliminated to more than five million, and were distributed in areas where few people lived. Now that the mission in the Dark Elf Kingdom had been completed, they were being counted and returned to the guild.
Isabella pondered for a moment, controlled the Saint's clone, opened a space gap and went to the Dark Elf Kingdom.
"Ling Yi, lead the team back to replenish supplies and prepare to support the Oberic Empire. Although they are powerful, they cannot withstand the daily losses. Sooner or later, the southeastern border of the empire will be breached by the monster tide."
Shui Xi sighed helplessly, "What kind of conditions will the Oberic Empire offer us? The entire guild has been working hard for a month! No one even has a chance to rest!"
"You have the last three days to support us. With your strength and the destructive power of one person, you can destroy at least tens of thousands of primary monsters in one night!"
"Whatever benefits the empire offers us, the armaments needed for expansion must be considerable!"
The time came to midnight.
The number of monsters entering the North City is still increasing. The three knightly orders of the Empire begin to counterattack. The arranged warhorse formations are like a huge meat grinder. The primary monsters are as fragile as eggs in front of them.
Each team of knights in the phalanx launched collective magic and weapon enchantments.
The team of palace guards, led by the two princes, defended the defense line under the city wall. There were two thousand monsters that were able to reach the city wall. They all broke through the siege and suffered various degrees of injuries.
The seventh prince Xia An is already accustomed to fighting monsters. He holds the magic sword in both hands and kills a monster that is ten times larger than himself with one move. The output of strength and magic power has been controlled to perfection.
Isabella followed several investigators from the All-Seeing Eye to the foot of the city wall and replaced the resting soldiers.
Julius's team of adventurers had already retreated, and several people in their team had been injured, but no one notified Julius to retreat about 300 meters outside the city. He was so bloodthirsty that he only focused on fighting in the direction where the monsters were most concentrated, even away from the illumination range of the light element magic ball hanging in the sky.
He knew that his body was now tired, so he swung his sword to dodge, enchanted, and released magic, observing that these movements were different each time.
But my will kept telling me that I had to keep fighting. Although I had suffered some minor injuries, I remembered that my father had never flinched when facing the monsters from outside the domain on the dragon's back...
The seventh prince, Xiaan, who was as brave as Yuriks, saw a figure on the edge of the darkness, and approached quickly while holding a sword to deal with the monster.
"…Urix? Why don't you go back? This is not the place for you! How strong are you? Go back now!"
Ulysses slowly put down his sword with both hands, and several nearby magic warriors immediately took over, confronting the encirclement of dozens of primary monsters...
With the help of long-range magic, Xia An and Yurix were able to have a relatively safe conversation.
“Heh…” Yuriks took a few deep breaths, looked around and relaxed for the moment, “I’m going to retreat? Why don’t you open your eyes and see that I have already broken through to the elementary second level! I broke through just two hours after the battle started! I didn’t even count how many monsters I killed.”
"...I will not miss any chance to enter Purgatory. Even without the protection of the Holy Envoy, I can still fight against the monsters from outside the domain!"
As the seventh prince, Xia An did not understand at all the sharpness of Yurix's eyes and the severity of his words. How could this ordinary student dare to put him to death?
"You should withdraw! This is an order from the seventh prince! In our eyes, you are just a citizen of the empire."
With an angry look in his eyes, Yurix looked back at the countless pairs of monster eyes in the darkness.
He walked up to Xia An and said softly, "You will understand later, Your Highness the Seventh Prince..."
"...I can still fight for another two hours. The monsters from outside the domain only have a few moves, so their larger size doesn't matter..."
As he spoke, Yuriks slowly walked towards the north city gate...
Several monsters jumped in front of Xia An. Without time to ponder the deeper meaning of Yurix's words, Xia An continued to fight.
Julius walked slowly, looking haggard, dragging a sword in his hand, as he approached the city gate step by step. He made eye contact with Isabella several times, but they did not say hello and just passed each other by.
Two healing magicians immediately went over to help him and quickly sent him into the city for treatment.
By three o'clock in the morning, the offensive of the monster tide had weakened a lot.
The red flame flying dragon in the west continued to block the spread of the monster team. In the face of absolute strength, the Dragon Riders were so powerful that the primary monsters could not surpass them.
After the high-level magicians and the Bai Haolong Dragon Riders cut into the battlefield remotely, the monster tide fell into chaos.
Some leaders of high-level monsters were killed by the investigators of the Almighty Eye, and the pressure on Guanbei Town and even more defense lines in the northern border was gradually reduced.
Until dawn, everyone had survived another night.
Everyone was using their respective abilities to prevent any monster from entering Avilato.
At lunch time, the Saint came to Palace Hill to discuss the situation in the southeastern border of the empire with the king.
The reception room under the king's bedroom...
"...The Empire lost more than 3,000 warriors, equivalent to three knight orders," the king sighed. "The monster tide is fierce. In the history of the Empire, it has never been as serious as this one. Fortunately, we have the assistance of the Saint's Guild. Tell me, what conditions do you need to help the Empire?"
"This time our guild needs a large amount of mid-level equipment, the number is 3,000 sets..."
"The empire's production capacity is limited. It will take two months to complete the construction... Your Excellency, can you conveniently tell me the purpose of the equipment?"
"There are only a thousand combatants in our guild, and they are all intermediate second-level magicians or above," the Saint introduced. "It is important to standardize the equipment, but the equipment produced by our guild is only suitable for adventurers to resist monsters... The scale of the guild needs to be expanded. I would rather let the equipment wait for the talents than let the talents wait for the equipment!"
After the transaction contract was signed, the Saint returned to the guild and immediately organized people to rush to the southeastern territory of the empire.
Isabella slept until lunch time...
The third floor of the West Dining Hall at Briffin College.
"I heard about the battle last night! Did Her Excellency the Saint release the Sun Core? The legendary large-scale magic? What is it like?"
Figgins asked curiously, her eyes still shining as always...
"I can't see it clearly, it's almost like the aurora..."
"Isabella... we envy you!" Mariana said, "Yesterday, you were taken away with Lady Saint and Lord Zawaon. The students in the academy are making up rumors about you..."
"Have you known the Saint Lady for a long time?"
Ivy also wanted to know what Mariana asked, and seeing Isabella was silent for a moment, she couldn't hide the expectation in her eyes.
"…No, it's just that my strength has attracted attention."
While Isabella was explaining herself, she saw Julius coming to the cafeteria alone.
The injuries on his body have been healed and his strength has reached the primary second level.
Isabella had a little admiration in her heart. He relied entirely on his own training to improve little by little! But even with such rapid progress, there was no smile on his face.
