"..."
In response to Diles’ questioning, Shu’en did not provide an answer, only his expression slightly darkened.
Sure enough, these despicable bandits were here for that person.
Was it the intention of those small country alliances?
Or were there "rebels" within his own country causing trouble from behind?
But regardless of the reason, Shu’en had no intention of letting them have their way.
Even if this might result in tens of thousands of casualties in the city behind him, countless tragedies, he couldn’t agree.
Because he was Shu’en Fadi, the most loyal knight of Tistis Kingdom.
"Not speaking, is it?" Diles’ face also turned dark due to Shu’en’s silence and said, "No matter, we’ll kill all of you first, then search the ruins of Miter for that person, just the sa."
With that, Diles raised his hand.
"Attack."
The soldiers around him imdiately grinned viciously and raised their weapons aid at Shu’en, their ferocious deanor was indeed more like a group of savage bandits than seasoned knights who had rolled and crawled across battlefields.
Shu’en silently raised the sword in his hand, inwardly prepared to face death.
The situation was set; with his strength alone, it was already impossible to change course. Given this, he only hoped to fight until exhaustion and death, trying to take one or two more enemies with him for the sake of Miter’s sacrifices.
He wasn’t afraid of death; what worried him most was that person’s safety.
He only hoped, having made such a huge sacrifice, that person could successfully escape from Miter.
Even if the hope was slim, he hoped the person could remain safe and sound; otherwise, this country might truly be dood.
"Co on!"
Showing his resolve, Shu’en shouted, ready for his last stand.
However, as Shu’en prepared to fight to the death, suddenly, he sensed sothing amiss.
"————"
An indescribable silence enveloped the entire battlefield.
This was a silence that shouldn’t have appeared on the battlefield at this mont.
Clearly, a second ago, the air was filled with the screams, roars of warriors, and the constant clashes of blades, especially the explosions from magic released by the magicians at the rear of Luke Kingdom’s army, which hadn’t stopped since the war began.
But suddenly, all sound vanished.
The wind was still howling, yet no one was roaring or wailing.
Snow continued to fall, yet the sounds of blasts and explosions were gone.
Even the combat noise from the city that had been breached behind him disappeared completely.
And before Shu’en, led by Diles, every swordsman and magician of Luke Kingdom was, without exception, trembling.
No, it wasn’t just them.
Montarily, Shu’en realized his own hand holding the sword was also shaking.
Because, accompanying the indescribable silence, an invisible pressure began to spread across the battlefield.
Feeling this pressure, whether Shu’en or Diles, everyone alive on the battlefield seed frozen there, unable to move.
"Tap... tap... tap... tap..."
Soon, footsteps echoed from behind Shu’en.
With great difficulty... truly with great difficulty, Shu’en managed to turn his head.
And then he saw it.
Saw a voluptuous, enchanting, tall silhouette slowly walking toward them.
It was an extrely beautiful and alluring woman, exuding femininity from head to toe.
The woman had long, fiery red hair, golden eyes, a delicate face with dark markings on the left side, adding a wild allure without detracting from her beauty.
The woman wore a tightly fitted red armor that accentuated her body’s curves and ample front, seeming like a swordsman, yet she didn’t carry any swords.
If not for the overwhelming pressure, such an alluring seductive beauty appearing on the battlefield would certainly incite the lust of n aroused by the bloodshed, leading them to drag her aside without hesitation for collective indulgence in her excessively charming body.
But faced with that astonishing pressure, no one dared to harbor such thoughts, let alone the frightening scene behind the beautiful woman.
Shu’en almost doubted his own eyes.
Because behind that alluring beauty, countless figures lay in pools of blood, their survival unknown.
They were the soldiers of Luke Kingdom who had just been conquering and pillaging.
These soldiers, whether still fighting or already having breached the city, lay now in pools of blood, either lifeless or nearly perishing, their ti seemingly short.
"You..."
Shu’en wanted to speak but found his voice hoarse.
"Who are you...?!"
Diles, at last, facing the invisible pressure, cried out in terror.
As Knight Captain of the army dispatched by Luke Kingdom, Diles Kazan himself possessed significant prowess, comparable to Shu’en, perhaps slightly inferior but not by much.
He was a seasoned True Knight dal recipient whom ordinary knights could hardly defeat.
Yet now, under that invisible pressure, he found speaking even extrely difficult.
He wanted to raise his sword but found his hand holding the sword powerless.
He wanted to stop the woman from approaching but found he lost the courage to even shout such words.
