"Are you planning to face an entire Blood Clan legion alone?"
Seeing Dorothy walking alone toward the enemy formation, Night Shadow deputy Cox shouted to stop her.
But Dorothy showed no sign of listening.
The knights also stood in place, waiting for Dorothy's orders...
Looking at Dorothy walking alone toward the enemy formation and the knights who completely ignored his advice, Cox fell into deep confusion...
What to do...
Although the Elasian knights did indeed look very powerful, but... fighting an organized Blood Clan legion head-on in this kind of flat terrain really wasn't a wise choice...
Should he directly lead his assassins to retreat to advantageous terrain, or have them stay and fight alongside the Elasian knights...
"All Night Shadow members! Form battle formation!"
"Advance!"
The assassins who received his orders immediately formed battle formation without hesitation.
Cox ultimately decided to stay.
No matter what, staying now had far greater significance than retreating to advantageous terrain...
Whether as a temporary commander or for a warrior's honor, he should have the Night Shadow assassins stay with him!
Staying was indeed dangerous, but it was indeed the wise choice.
As a commander, his decisions should be made from the perspective of liberating the entire Holy Kingdom.
If he abandoned the Elasian reinforcements and retreated directly now, would Elasia still be willing to help them afterward?
As a warrior, he absolutely couldn't let the Elasians look down on Northern Fire's warriors!
Raising his eyes filled with determination, what met his gaze was a scene that made him wildly joyful!
That blue-haired woman... had actually stopped!
Had she decided to listen to his suggestion?
Cox was immediately overjoyed!
However... that wasn't it.
"First lend me your sword!"
With a relaxed smile, Dorothy extended her hand to a knight beside her.
She had just drawn her waist sword but decided not to use it.
The sword at her waist was given to her by the orphanage director when she graduated, containing the old director's expectations and a full year's salary...
The "move" she was about to use could cause considerable damage to the sword serving as a medium...
"Big Sister... sigh, alright."
As a knight should unconditionally obey a superior's orders, the knight she grabbed had no choice but to hand over his Elasian standard knight steel sword to Dorothy.
Dorothy took the sword, looked at the Blood Clan legion already very close to her, and smiled:
"Mm... this sword looks good! I can tell you've maintained it well!"
Walking a few steps toward the front, Dorothy shouted loudly to the knights behind her:
"Alright! Boys! Pay attention!"
"I'm about to use 'that move'! Anyone who doesn't want to get caught in friendly fire, all retreat behind me!"
The moment Dorothy finished speaking, the originally extremely serious knights immediately became panicked!
Is it "that move"...
If Big Sister was really going to use that move... it would be dangerous!
Without even needing Dorothy or her deputy to order, the knights began retreating rapidly on their own!
Even the Night Shadow assassins standing beside them were pulled along in the retreat, and several assassins unwilling to retreat were forcibly dragged away by the knights!
"Buddy! This is dangerous! Retreat quickly!"
"Sister! Fall back!"
"Brother, go go go!"
"..."
The knights swept the assassins along as they retreated at extreme speed, while Night Shadow deputy Cox shouted with a red face:
"Don't you want your commanding officer... don't pull me! I originally wanted to retreat too!"
...
"Mm... looks like that's about right."
Seeing the knights had led the assassins in retreat to a safe zone, Dorothy drew the knight's steel sword with a "clang."
Raising the sword in her hand straight toward the sky, Dorothy's face was full of anticipation...
Next... it was time to use "that move"!
She knew that move couldn't be maintained for very long.
Probably less than ten seconds...
But well...
One second would be enough!
"[Qi-Transformed Sword: Infinite Form]!"
With Dorothy's loud shout, the sword in her hand immediately emitted a "hum" of explosive sound!
At the same time, golden [Qi] condensed on that sword at extreme speed, instantly growing upward at tremendous speed like a fountain!
Five meters.
Ten meters.
Twenty meters.
Thirty meters.
Forty meters...
This unimaginably long golden sword finally stopped in mid-air at fifty meters high!
The golden sword had become a pillar of light in the sky, illuminating the entire Holy Capital!
Even the seemingly magnificent [Impregnable Fortress] appeared tiny before it!
"Heavens! What is that!"
Cox, who had retreated to the safe zone, looking at this [Qi-Transformed Sword] standing between heaven and earth, was directly stunned in place!
What is this!
This is a sword?
You're telling me this fifty-plus meter thing is a sword?
As a high-ranking official, he had also seen Holy Princess use [Qi-Transformed Sword].
But... where was this still a sword?
"Friend, don't be afraid, actually this is my first time seeing this too..."
The Guerrilla Knight deputy beside him who had dragged him here, looking at such a magnificent scene, was also quite frightened...
So Big Sister was this strong...
...
"Oh? Looks like Big Sister Dorothy used 'that move'..."
Elashia, leading knights toward the [Impregnable Fortress], looked at the golden pillar of light that appeared in the sky without warning and showed a satisfied smile.
She had thought of this move early when playing the game!
Dorothy's [Qi-Transformed Sword] was essentially using her internal [Qi] to form a sword.
As long as Dorothy could control it, no matter how long the sword was, it was possible!
Dorothy, who had practiced [Qi-Transformed Sword] to perfection, could achieve nearly unlimited external control range!
Moreover... since this sword was entirely composed of [Qi] that Dorothy could completely control, no matter how long the sword was, it was light as a feather to Dorothy!
This battle was different from the previous Beast Tide defense—Dorothy didn't need to conserve her internal [Qi] at all!
Watching that pillar of light standing in the sky tilt downward, Elashia smiled and murmured to herself:
"Looks like this Holy Capital battle is about to reach its conclusion..."
...
"Go!"
After condensing this fifty-plus meter [Qi-Transformed Sword], Dorothy unhesitatingly swung this giant sword toward the Blood Clan legion and [Impregnable Fortress]!
"Hum!!!"
With a sound that echoed across the sky, the fifty-plus meter sword instantly slashed out at extreme speed!
In an instant, the Blood Clan legion charging toward Dorothy and the [Impregnable Fortress] behind them were simultaneously split in half in less than a second by this golden giant sword that swept across thousands of troops!
"Boom!"
The upper half of the [Impregnable Fortress] collapsed...
The connection between the collapsed fortress and the ground looked as neat as cabbage cut by a knife...
...
"This..."
"My god..."
"..."
Looking at the fortress cut open in an instant and all the Blood Clan soldiers who had been bisected, both knights and assassins let out irrepressible sounds of admiration...
The Blood Clan enemies hadn't even had time to react before being completely annihilated in an instant?
