“Mr. Granello is correct! Your Highness, the Capital has already been surrounded by the Ormondians and Leonians. The enemies had set up a proper defense, and we couldn’t get through! It is better for us to retreat now! Your Highness, with your royal bloodline, you can gather all the troops of the affiliated kingdoms who are on their way to help St. Petersburg, and that is the only way to break open the current situation. Otherwise, it would be useless even if we charge into St. Petersburg!” Paris advised as she struck an enemy master who charged into the defense-line.
Bam! Blood was spilled, but Paris’ body also swayed a little.
Dominguez’s expression darkened.
Seeing the many soldiers of Ormond and St. Petersburg that was very far away, he finally sighed and said, “It is my fault. If it weren’t for my own wishes, we wouldn’t be in this situation. I know that you guys are correct, but in the Capital, His Majesty… Eh, retreat! Let’s retreat for now! If we can get out of this situation, let’s follow Paris’ plan. After I gather up a huge army, will I still have the opportunity to see Dad…”
“If that barbaric Alexander were here, the situation would be completely different, right? A guy like him would only accept wins and never take losses…” For some reason, Dominguez suddenly thought of Fei at this moment.
Seeing that she finally persuaded Dominguez, Paris jumped onto a huge rock and looked around, trying to observe the terrain and the allocation of enemies so that she can decide on which direction they had to push toward.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing, high-pitched noise sounded.
A dash of green light shot from deep within the enemy formations and struck toward Paris’ heart.
It appeared again!
Everyone’s face changed color.
It was these kinds of penetration arrow that struck the talented Second Prince Dominguez three times, making him lose his combat abilities.
This meant that a terrifying archer was hiding amongst the enemies, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike like the Grim Reaper.
This a.s.sa.s.sin finally moved again, and the target was [Demonic Woman] Paris.
Almost everyone here was on the verge of collapse, and Dominguez and Granello couldn’t move in time even though they wanted to save her.
The archery skill of this enemy was terrifying. Like a phantom, the arrow already appeared in front of Paris in a flash, so fast that she didn’t even react in time.
Paris only had the time to turn around, and her body was locked onto by that arrow spirit.
Extremely fatigued, she didn’t have the energy to dodge. Her body stiffed, and she could only open her eyes and wait for her death.
“I didn’t think that I would die in a place like this. It looks like I will never have the chance to say goodbye to that arrogant and domineering little man formally…” At this critical moment, this thought flashed through her head. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she closed her eyes and waited for her death.
Whoosh! Just as this beautiful flower of Zenit was about to wither, a golden sword energy shot down from the sky. It appeared way later, but it was much faster than the arrow.
As soon as they collided, the green penetration arrow turned into black ashes and disappeared completely.
“Alexander?!”
[Demonic Woman] Paris was the closest to this golden sword energy, and she instantly identified its aura and knew who it belonged to. Even though she was usually calm and collected, she couldn’t help but gasp at this moment.
She was saved right when she thought she was going to die, and a joyous and surprised expression appeared on her beautiful face. At the same time, an indescribable emotion flashed in her glistening eyes.
“If I arrived any later, I’m afraid that I couldn’t see your beautiful face anymore.” A voice that Paris was very familiar with sounded by her ear.
Fei got here just in time, and his muscular body appeared beside Paris.
The soldiers of Zenit who survived until now all cheered.
Even Second Prince Dominguez and [Red Beard] Granello rubbed their eyes as they thought that they were hallucinating, and they were greatly relieved as if mountains were lifted off of them. Even their mood brightened.
They all knew the power of the King of Chambord. With such a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord here, even if the soldiers of the united troops grew by ten times, they would be safe and secure.
“Why are you here? Your Chambord…”
For some reason, Paris felt like she was daydreaming for the first time. Sensing the familiar aura beside her, her heart raced, and she appeared very feminine.
However, before she could finish speaking, she was terrified; she saw three dashes of green lights flying from the enemies and toward Fei’s back.
These three arrows were much faster, and they didn’t make any noises; they were real a.s.sa.s.sination arrows!
“Be careful!” Paris’ face changed color.
When she saw Fei appearing as if he didn’t notice these arrows, she was horrified.
Paris instantly ran forward and jumped up, trying to block these three arrows with her body.
However, before these three arrows could get within 10 meters of Fei, they froze in mid-air as if they dashed into the mud. Even though the vicious back hooks on them shined under the Sun, they couldn’t advance any further.
In front of a barricade and the command center, a mid-aged archer who had a wicked smile on his face saw this scene. He was stunned, and fear overtook his mind. “Master! A powerful master…”
Before he could react, something terrifying happened.
The three penetration arrows that were frozen in mid-air suddenly shot back even faster compared with before, and they dashed through this archer’s body as three greenish-golden lights. Then, these arrows shot onto the barricade and the command center, instantly exploding them as if dynamite were activated. A mushroom cloud appeared, and the cloud of dust was sent more than 10 meters into the air. The enemy soldiers who were within 100 meters of this explosion didn’t survive.
This terrifying scene stunned the tens of thousands of soldiers of Ormond, and they forgot to attack momentarily.
On the other hand, Fei looked at Paris with a strange expression. He wondered, “Since when did this gorgeous woman become this selfless? She even tried to block the arrows for me. With her brain, she should know that these three arrows couldn’t pose threats to me. She made such a decision… Did she mean it? Or is she acting?”
Fei felt a little headache when he had to face this woman who was too intelligent.
“Dominguez Your Highness, the Capital is surrounded. I observed everything from the sky, and the united troops of the enemies already gained control of the area within 100 kilometers of St. Petersburg. Right now, they are trying to wipe out all the troops of the affiliated kingdoms that are on their way to a.s.sist Zenit. Rather than going into the Capital, it is better if you can gather these troops on the outside. After your force grows strong enough, you can attack the enemies from behind. That is way more useful,” Fei said. He had this idea when he was traveling here. As someone with royal bloodline, Dominguez was the perfect fit for this plan.
As soon as Fei said that, Dominguez, Paris, and Granello were surprised; they had the same idea!
Dominguez had wanted Fei to bring him into St. Petersburg; he was worried about Emperor Ya.s.sin. However, after discussion, he agreed to everyone’s recommendation and decided to gather friendly troops on the outside; he would try not to allow the military strength of Zenit to be weakened that greatly.
However, [Demonic Woman] Paris would follow Fei into St. Petersburg.
