The girl didn't even notice that someone was putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Ellie!"
Qing Yang called out to her and shook her shoulders at the same time. Looking at Ellie who was finally willing to raise her head, Qing Yang gasped in shock. Her eyes that had lost their luster could not even find the focus. She could only open them blankly, and her swollen eyelids were so red that it made one's heart ache.
"Why did you come?"
Qing Yang gently wrapped his arms around the back of Ellie's head and pulled her into his arms. Qing Yang could not find any words to comfort such a haggard girl.
"I told you I would make you regret it…Ellie…I'm sorry.”
Even Qing Yang did not know why he was apologizing? Was it because he couldn't think of any words to comfort her? Or was it because he was too late? The white-haired girl's fingers suddenly trembled. Ellie held Qing Yang's arm and lifted her head from his arms.
"Yes, although I might be scolded by you…I still came back.”
Qing Yang nodded his head as if he was ashamed of himself. Ellie reached out and touched his cheek. The temperature was as hot as summer, but her hands were so cold that they made people shiver.
"Robin is dead…"
Qing Yang grabbed Ai Li's hand that was on his face and held it gently, trying to warm her up. Allie's pupils gradually regained their luster. It was probably because he could sense that the person in front of him was indeed Qing Yang. However, she immediately lowered her eyes with a sorrowful expression.
"Yes."
"He's more like a big brother than my royal brother. I really see him as my brother.”
"Yes."
" But…I couldn't save him. He wanted me to…realize my dream…"
Allie's voice was trembling, and her eyes were wet with tears.
"I…Wuu…Wuu…"
Ellie buried her face in Qing Yang's arms and sobbed.
Qing Yang wrapped his arms around Ellie's back and hugged her tightly.
Even though Allie was the owner of an elven weapon, she was still a 15-year-old girl.
Someone who was as close to him as family was killed in front of him. It felt like his heart was torn apart. He had ascended the throne at a young age. Although he had great ambitions, he could not extend his ambitions because of his position. They could only watch the country fall and do nothing.
"Is that why you summoned me?"
Qing Yang stroked Ellie's head, finally understanding the reason why he returned to this world...
Perhaps this was wrong. But to Qing Yang, even so, it did not matter. Kulun and the heavy armored infantry watched the princess who was sitting on the rock and crying quietly with great reluctance.
The stubborn men also had tears in their eyes as they gritted their teeth and cried silently.
Among them, only Kulun stubbornly held back his tears. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his entire body trembled with anger.
Robin Giltaton, a young man who was about to turn 28 this year.
Robin, who was originally just a mercenary, was injured and left for the Empire. It was Triz who treated him and took him in. Robin continued to train day and night, achieving brilliant results on the battlefield. Later, his strength was greatly recognized and he was promoted to be the princess's personal attendant. Cullen was even more happy as if it was his own business.
If Allie was like his daughter, then Robin was probably like his son.
Kulun pounded his chest hard, trying to cut off the memories of the past.
The armor made a loud noise, breaking the silence. After that, Cullen knelt down and shouted,"
"Her Highness Ariel, Frances, Lisa, Lorraine, Jill, Atlantis!”
His loud voice resounded in the surroundings, attracting everyone's attention.
"There's no time to be sad now! Robin definitely wouldn't want to see you like this! It was going to be dark soon. He had to quickly formulate a strategy to defeat the enemy!”
Kulun's tone was filled with anger, and the one who responded to him was Qing Yang.
"Regarding this, I have a good suggestion.”
"What?"
"There are about two thousand enemies. Even if we can break through, we might still implicate the surrounding villages. Allie must not want to hurt innocent people.”
"Qing, Qing Yang?"
Allie said helplessly.
In Ai Li's heart, Qing Yang had always been an ordinary youth, so it was only natural that he would be surprised.
Qing Yang smiled bitterly at her and continued,
"Even if we can't wipe them all out, we have to reduce the enemy's numbers as much as possible so that they won't be able to disguise themselves as bandits and attack us.”
"We only have 20 people left. What can we do against 2,000 enemies? Do you want everyone to be responsible for killing a hundred enemy soldiers?”
"Of course I won't ask for that. Besides, everyone should be tired.”
The smile on Qing Yang's face deepened as he jumped down from the rock and raised his index finger. The man who was once known as the God of War and revered by everyone had once again descended into the world.
The Great Liao Army set up camp six kilometers away from the cliff. There were hundreds of tents in the camp surrounded by fences, and an especially luxurious tent was located in the center. In the tent, the advisors and the knight commanders stood on the left and right, forming a line. In the main seat, Sharpy was sitting on a large chair, listening to the casualty report of his staff with a furious expression.
"Knight Regiment Commander 6, Infantry 812, Injured 219, and above.”
The military advisor returned to the team after reporting. Even the 500 soldiers who had circled around Ellie and her group to launch a surprise attack were all wiped out. The princess's unexpected tenacious resistance had greatly reduced the strength of the Great Liao Army.
"Faced with an enemy army of less than a hundred people, nearly a thousand of our soldiers died in battle?”
Sharpy threw the wine on the ground, and the glass shattered on the spot.
"How am I supposed to face my elder brother? Do you want me to report that not only did I fail to capture the princess, but I also lost a thousand soldiers for no reason?”
Advisor Jun stepped forward again.
"However, this is all because of an unexpected accident. Daren should have seen it too. That 'guy' was definitely not human!”
The man in black was indeed intimidating. He suddenly appeared on the battlefield and killed the soldiers one by one in the blink of an eye.
However…
"Ha, so you want me to report to my brother that the enemy alone killed a thousand of our soldiers? If I really report it like this, my head will be split off!”
Unable to hide his anxiety, the idiot kicked the chair away. After the chair hit the table, it broke on the spot with a loud sound. Even so, the idiot did not give up and grabbed one of the knights.
"That fellow truly has astonishing power. But who was the one who let him do whatever he wanted? Isn't it your Knight Ace Mecha Clan's Guild Leader?"
"After personally witnessing such a powerful force, the soldiers felt fear in their hearts and could only retreat.”
"Simply useless to the extreme! Are you still considered soldiers of the Liao Kingdom?”
After pushing away the Knight Regiment Commander, he glared at his subordinates in the tent.
"Start the general attack at dawn. Only advance, no retreat. Those who are not convinced, step forward! I'll chop off his head on the spot!"
It should have been an easy battle. He had originally expected it to end in a few hours.
Thus, they did not prepare for the night battle in advance, which was why they gave the enemy a break.
"Does anyone have any objections? After the military meeting, they would immediately elect a replacement for the commander of the fallen knights. You don't have time to sleep. Come up with a good strategy before dawn. Those who are useless will be reduced to slaves!”
His subordinates slapped their left shoulders with their right hands and knelt on one knee in response,"
"Understood!"
Then, a messenger scrambled into the tent in panic.
"Enemy attack! The number of people was unknown! Our army is currently under attack!"
Everyone was stunned. This was only natural. The enemy was clearly almost completely wiped out, but now they would take the initiative to attack. It was simply unimaginable.
The idiot thought that he had misheard and asked,
"What did you say?"
"I repeat! Enemy attack! The number of people was unknown! Our army is currently under attack!"
"How is that possible…the enemy should be dying.”
The idiot quickly walked out of the tent. The advisor and the other knight regiment commanders also rushed out.
Roars, wails, and the thundering of hooves caused the soldiers who were resting to fall into panic.
"What happened? Could it be that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived?"
The remaining enemies should be a cavalry regiment consisting mainly of infantry and archers. There were no cavalry. If there were any, the only possibility was that they would be reinforcements. However, this didn't make sense.
"Could it be that…brother was defeated?”
That's what a fool thinks
"No, that's impossible."
He immediately denied this thought.
The 12,000-strong army should be attacking the Jacker Fortress. As long as their team was not defeated, the enemy reinforcements would not be able to come here.
" I heard that the opponent is the Maiden God of War…"
Two days ago, the Maiden God of War had formed a special task force to arrest the princess.
Even if the opponent had the title of " Maiden War God," it was impossible for them to easily defeat an army of 12,000 in just two days.
However, if it wasn't reinforcements, how could he explain the current situation?
Beside Sharpy, who was in chaos, the advisors were giving orders to the commanders of the knights.
"Knight Regiment Commander, quickly return to command the other Knight Regiment! After calming down and reorganizing the situation, they would gather here!”
"Yes, sir!"
Just as a Knight Regiment Commander was about to run away, he suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Then, he saw a young man holding a worn-out spear stepping over his corpse and approaching.
"That's great... it would have been a headache if you hadn't had a military meeting.”
Everyone looked at the youth who seemed to be relieved.
"Ahhhhh!"
An aide could not help but wail and fall to the ground.
The young man threw away the worn-out spear in his hand and snatched the sword of the dead knight captain.
"Yes! She took good care of herself. It was obvious that he was a person who was very passionate about his work.”
The young man waved the sword in his hand and beheaded the advisor who was sitting on the ground in fear.
The black-robed youth who had slaughtered wantonly on the battlefield had appeared. The fear that had been deeply rooted in their hearts could not be easily dispelled. The faces of the advisors and the commanders of the knights twitched, and they kept retreating.
"I can't let you go. If we spare your lives, some people will suffer because of this.”
The young man held the sword horizontally and threw it out. With a thud, it hit the advisor's forehead. Blood splattered everywhere on the spot. The others who saw this scene all let out sorrowful cries and fled like rats.
However, the young man did not let anyone off.
"I told you, no one can escape.”
Everyone turned into corpses one after another as they begged for mercy.
"Damn it!"
Only Sha Bi was left on the scene. He fled into the tent in a panic. The young man picked up a long sword and chased after him.
"Hehe, although I don't know where you came from, before this sword, you are like a newborn baby.”
The idiot was holding a sword that was embedded with gems, and his face was full of smiles.
"An elven weapon?"
The young man shrugged his shoulders and swung his sword at the broken chair nearby.
He slashed again and again, and the curved sword blade kept peeling off fragments.
"What are you doing?"
The young man's sudden and illogical action made the idiot frown with a suspicious expression.
The young man who turned his head to look at the trash only had a broken sword left in his hand.
"You know what? It was precisely because humans possessed rationality that they became cruel. Although I learned this sentence from my adopted brother, I personally agree with it.”
"W-what are you talking about?"
"Next, I want to ask you a few questions. Please answer honestly.”
"What are you talking about!"
Shabby shouted impatiently as he had no interaction with the young man's conversation.
"Although I would like to start from the fingers, there isn't much time left…Let's start from the arm.”
The young man's body suddenly disappeared from sight. When he reappeared, an abyss was right in front of him.
Immediately after, a sharp pain hit him, and he looked at his arm. A long sword that looked like a saw was embedded in his arm.
"Gaaah!"
"Answer me. Did you kill Mr. Robin?"
"Gah!"
The young man raised his leg and kicked at the idiot's face. The idiot's burly body was sent flying.
"C-someone…quickly help me bandage it!”
The idiot threw down the elven weapon and pressed his hand on the wound, struggling and rolling in pain.
"Next, I'll change my feet. I hope I can hear the answer before you die.”
The idiot raised his head, only to see nothing.
The figure in front of him had no expression on his face, like a lifeless body. It even made people wonder if he was human.
Sabit suddenly remembered the soldiers at the front line who had abnormal mental states and kept repeating the same sentence.
The words they said in unison were " endless despair."
"Stop, stop…I surrender…I admit defeat…"
