The strong winds turned into blades of wind, cutting through the air in a fan-shaped formation, causing the entire space to tremble and the airflow to be mercilessly swallowed.
Pupupupupupupupupu~~
Often, it was just a wave of fluctuations that passed by, followed by countless feathers scattering in all directions; the sky was adorned with feathers, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Whoosh!
The first sound signaled the descent, and in an instant, 5,000 winged horses with smooth incisions on their wings fell from above, neighing as they descended; the silver "meteors" streaked across the sky, illuminating the pure blue sky to a pure white.
The soft barriers set up on the ground changed shape, mimicking the reverse opening of flower petals, catching all the members of the knight order.
"The Pegasus Knight Order is retreating. The healing spellcasting priests, your task is to treat the wounded!" The commander of the guards issued orders one after another, feeling fortunate for one thing: not a single member of the Pegasus Knight Order lost their life; their wounds were all superficial, indicating that they were not hurt by the wind blades.
"Just a random breath creates a large-scale wind magic... that gargoyle possesses the strength equivalent to the subordinates of the Demon King, and our opponent is very clever!" The commander's intention was clear: Demon King Lucia was aware of the difficulty of the Pegasus Knights, so she instructed the mindless gargoyle to disable the Pegasus; for knights who cannot fly, losing their only means of flying can only result in falling back to the ground.
"And what's even more annoying is that while the Demon King has the ability to eliminate all the knights, she deliberately avoids killing them. We are not even worth her attention!" The commander pounded her fist on the railing of the palace rooftop, leaving a mark and gritting her teeth in anger, she clenched her fist and commanded the wizards, "Enough with the chanting. Release the ninth-tier grand magic, targeting only one!"
The wizards raised their staffs and slammed them into the ground with force. The fire elemental elements in the air immediately boiled, and the flowing steam carried a dryness, becoming completely dark red.
The dense fire elements gathered in front of the ten thousand wizards, the flames roasting the air swirling endlessly. At the moment when ten thousand staffs touched the ground, they surged into a wave of fire, rushing towards the sky.
The commander thought: Since the gargoyle cannot be dealt with for the time being, let's bombard the Demon King with the strongest firepower; by using this surprise attack, we will definitely catch her off guard!
Lucia shook her fan, and the heat rising from below caught her attention. At this moment, there were still about ten seconds before the wave of fire would hit her.
The opponent's strategy was correct. Indeed, by dealing with Lucia first, the gargoyle's movements would slow down and the chances of a sudden attack would increase; however, it would only increase from a negative number to zero!
Lucia placed her hand holding the fan in front of her and spoke in a leisurely tone, "There are a total of sixteen tiers of magic, your little tricks are not worth showing off. Taste the true power of the thirteenth-tier fire."
Chanting is a necessary step for magic, there is no way to skip it, and the higher the tier of the magic, the longer the chanting time required. The court wizards cooperated together, using a ninth-tier magic required a full three minutes; however, Lucia's lips opened and closed in just three seconds. She had just accelerated her chanting speed, shortening the time required to one-six-hundredth.
A crimson blaze rose up, ignited from the face of the fan and sweeping out, the flaming pillars burning the air turned into a several dozen-meter high rolling sea of fire in an instant; as if a tsunami had been moved from the ocean to the land, painting the waves with a vibrant deep red color; no trace of light could be seen in the sky, only a cover of dry fire engulfing the emptiness. With each wave of the fan, everything in its way turned to ashes; even an ordinary person could see the overwhelming power contained within.
"We must win!" The people below shouted in prayers. With both sides' intense or lazy gazes focused, the two forces collided; the wave of fire and the sea of flames contained immense and terrifying power, yet were unnervingly quiet as they passed through space, not even causing a ripple; however, it was this silent situation that filled people with a sense of dread.
On the rooftop, the commander's gaze did not waver, a slight panic and unease crossed her beautiful face, and her delicate jade-like hand tightly clenched.
Lucia yawned, flicked her fan closed with a flick of her finger, just as a loud "boom" resounded;The deafening explosion that could rupture eardrums suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and the earth!
A terrifying storm of flames, born from the collision of two types of fire, instantly engulfed the sky for miles in an eye-blinking moment.
The raging flames spread and consumed everything in their path, turning into a pillar of light that crashed down from above, extinguishing and dissolving the fire in its wake.
The remaining flames, still formidable, mixed with the heat and the gusts of wind, sweeping across the sky and invading the earth as scattered aggressors.
The high temperature enveloped the clouds, reflecting a deep red glow that left soldiers stunned.
After a moment, the sound of swallowing saliva echoed continuously.
Some people trembled as they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, only to have new sweat appear.
"The outcome is clear!"
Bored, Lucia scratched her chest with the handle of her fan.
Once she felt comfortable, she pulled out the still warm fan.
At that moment, the fire she controlled fiercely collided with the barrier that covered the entire city.
The elemental light seemed to evaporate like water, causing ripples on the surface of the barrier and the sound of cracking for those with sharp ears.
Crack, crack, crack...
Snap!
It was as if beautiful glass shattered in front of their eyes, and the holy light barrier disintegrated into small pieces that fell at the feet of everyone it protected.
Before anyone could accidentally step on them, the particles of light vanished into thin air.
At that moment, the hopes of most people were crushed.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"
Lucia's voice was infused with a tremendous amount of magic, similar in nature to the horns the soldiers had used before. Its effect spread her voice to every corner of the city, regardless of whether anyone wanted to hear it or not.
"If you can hear me, and if there are any problems with communication, please protest by raising a flag after the beep... Beep... Okay, no one disagrees. Let's start the formal dialogue."
Lucia didn't care whether anyone replied or not, she directly made her biggest demand for coming to Dibiles.
Lucia firmly believed that today there was hope for a fortuitous event in her marriage aspect.
But good things wouldn't just fall from the sky, and no deity would bless her as a member of the demon race. She had to rely on her own hands to fight for it.
"Ruler of Dibiles, as the Demon King, I promise that once your requirements are met, my castle and I will naturally disappear. Otherwise..."
The overall commander swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a sense of inexplicable melancholy welling up in his heart, and tears uncontrollably streaming down his face.
There was no need to ask, she and her companions had already prepared themselves psychologically to launch a full-scale attack on the city if the Demon King's request was rejected. Even if they had to fight back with swords until the very end, they vowed to welcome a tragic final battle and die rather than submit.
Lucia continued speaking, seemingly lost in her own thoughts. The shock effect of her words was no less than setting off firecrackers next to each person's ear.
"If my demands are not met, then I will... linger above your homes! I will be a permanent fixture blocking the sunlight in your city, preventing your clothes from drying properly."
"Pffft!"
The overall commander fell to the ground, his reaction resembling someone who had just spat out blood. Of course, it was just a metaphor - he hadn't had enough time to swallow his saliva.
The rest of the people fell to the ground with similar actions.
Ten seconds ago, who could have imagined that the dignified Demon King would resort to such a petty threat?
"It's a lie, all lies!"
The overall commander staggered to his feet, pointing at the distant Demon King's castle in the sky, denying its existence as if it were right in front of him.
"This must be a ploy by the Demon King to confuse us by acting cute. She must be up to no good now."
The yelling was loud, but Lucia was only communicating one-way, and none of the voices entered her ears.
Perhaps Lucia had anticipated that a two-way communication would inevitably lead to a verbal battle, so she purposely spoke to herself.
"Hey, is anyone listening over there? Are you sarcastically mocking me again?
But it doesn't matter now, I'm making the only request.
Cough, cough, cough, um, um, cough, cough, um, um, aaaah!"
Everyone silently mocked her in their hearts:The voice of clearing the throat is too long! Is she ready to show off her singing skills now?
"Ah, yes, it's like this. This demon king recently decided to get married, and the divination book said my other half is in Dibiles;
In order to find her, I need your cooperation to hand over all the beautiful girls;
I will personally select them one by one, and once I find the right person, I will let the remaining girls go."
"So your reason for starting a war is for a blind date!"
The injured leader of the Pegasus Knights struggled to sit up, pointing his finger at the direction of the Demon King's Castle: "You troublemaker! You're not young anymore. If you don't properly rest and heal, your back will give out."
A healer monk decisively pushed the leader's head back and wrapped several layers of bandages around the injured area until the target couldn't move.
"It's definitely not right to not properly heal, but the leader is right!"
The overall commander raised her cloak behind her, accompanying a powerful declaration, exuding an even more intimidating aura.
"The leader clearly told us a truth: demons cannot be trusted! Especially when the other party is the Demon King, they cannot be trusted at all."
Except for her, there are many soldiers who don't trust what Lucia said;
Some girls with complicated thoughts even speculate on how those poor victims sent to the Demon King's Castle may be humiliated;
They will definitely be tied up with ropes, suspended on a wooden horse, candles dropping on their heads at any time, and demons holding whips behind them, flicking them repeatedly...
They will be... definitely will be! We absolutely cannot agree to such excessive demands.
The soldiers and adventurers of various professions unite against the common enemy, vowing to fight to the last person and sword in the imagined battle to protect their homeland.
"Are you all too agitated? Try asking others for their true intentions, it may save a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings."
Wang Xiaole appeared in this place at an inappropriate time;
By the time someone noticed, he had already made his way to the front of the overall commander, holding onto the railing and gazing into the distance.
At this time, he didn't know:
The person Lucia was looking for had already appeared.
The ideal partner in the mind of the Busty/Demon King is none other than him!
