By the time Angelietta arrived at the battlefield, the situation had already become extremely bad.
Albian's air fleet had an absolute advantage. The huge warships flew leisurely in the air while mercilessly firing shells at the ground. Faced with Albian's aerial bombardment, Torristine's soldiers could only hide in the cracks of the mountain and use magic to build barriers to resist.
Of course, this kind of resistance didn't make much sense.
"The enemy's army has finished assembling. I'm afraid they'll take action immediately after a round of bombardment," said the Grand Council.
The Grand Council said. Angelietta, on the other hand, looked at the situation in front of her with a pale face.
"What are our chances of winning?"
"Probably less than 50%."
"…"
Angelietta fell into silence. In fact, she knew very well that even if she resisted the attack here, it would be useless. Now that Albion had officially launched an attack on Torristine, Germania would no longer mention the matter of forming a military alliance, and her wedding was completely ruined. Even if they resisted Albian's attack here, they couldn't expect reinforcements from other places.
"Minister Mazaliani."
"Your Royal Highness?"
"I've been hesitating."
As she spoke, Angelietta opened her hand. In her hand was a round red gem.
"Your Royal Highness, what is this?"
"This is an item to summon a god."
"Summon … a god?"
The Grand Council was somewhat puzzled by Angelietta's words.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's what I'm trying to say. I can summon a god and promise to offer everything I have to obtain the god's protection to defeat the enemy. But … that's a god from another world. If I offer everything to it, then this country … "
"Your Royal Highness, you're not talking about changing the national religion, are you?!"
Mazaliani was shocked to hear this.
"Do you know what kind of consequences this will cause? Romania won't sit idly by! "
"I won't change the national religion, but I will tell the people that we were saved by a god from another world, and that the other party doesn't require us to build churches or spread their teachings."
"There's such a god?"
Mazzagliani was even more confused while Angelietta shook her head.
"We'll talk about the specifics when the time comes. The question now is … whether I should do it or not …. To be honest, I've been hesitating. But now, I have made my decision. "
"Your Royal Highness …"
"Since we can even choose to ally with other countries through marriage in order to protect our own country, then asking for help from the gods of the other world isn't a big deal, right?"
"But …!"
"Minister Magliani, I have made up my mind. I know what the consequences will be, but if Torristine doesn't exist anymore, all of this will be meaningless, right? "
"…"
This time, the Grand Council didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and bowed to the princess. On the other hand, Angelietta took in a deep breath and marched forward. The generals and soldiers were shocked to see the Princess arriving at the front line. They wanted to dissuade her, but Angelietta shook her head and asked them to step aside. Then, she gazed at the soldiers in front of her.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I know the situation is not good, but frankly speaking, I think everyone knows what we're going to face …."
"We're not afraid, Your Royal Highness!"
One of the soldiers shouted, and the general beside him also raised his hand.
"That's right, we're loyal to Torristine. Even if Torristine is destroyed, we won't frown!"
"Fight for Her Royal Highness and Torristine!"
In an instant, the surrounding soldiers cheered. Looking at the smiles on their faces that were covered in blood and smoke, Angelietta's eyes couldn't help but moisten up.
"I'm sorry, everyone, but I don't want Torristine to perish. No matter what, this is our country …. As a princess, I have a duty to protect this country and its people."
"….?"
Hearing Angelietta's words, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They weren't fools, but experienced soldiers. Everyone could see the current situation clearly. They already knew the final outcome. But even so, they didn't choose to give up. They had decided to live and die with this country.
But since Her Royal Highness said so ….
"Your Royal Highness, you're not going to surrender, are you?"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly spoke in a trembling voice. Logically speaking, he had no right to speak to the princess, but no one cared about such a trivial matter.
"Of course not."
Angelietta shook her head.
"If kneeling down and kissing their shoes can make them change their minds and stop killing our people and invading our country, then I will do it. But it's useless. We're too weak. Everything we've done, everything we've hoped for, isn't even worth mentioning to them. So, our only choice is to become stronger. But now …. "
Angelietta raised the gem in her hand.
"Please bestow upon me … power!"
Along with Angelietta's words, the gem in her hand broke easily like an egg. Then, an unparalleled flame sprayed out from it and quickly engulfed Angelietta. Then, it turned into a pillar of fire that soared into the sky!
"Your Royal Highness!"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked. They tried to pull Angelietta out of the flame, but the high temperature that was enough to burn their souls prevented them from getting close. They could only watch as the pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, turning the originally blue sky into a fiery red.
"Looks like Angelietta has made her decision."
Looking at the pillar of fire in the distance, the red ponytail snorted softly, then looked at Louise beside her.
"Okay, Louise, you know what to do. This is your debut as the Heir of Nothingness. Don't screw it up. "
"I won't. Don't worry, Saber! But … what are you going to do? "
"Sigh, actually, I didn't intend to make it so troublesome, but mortals won't understand if I don't teach them a lesson."
Thinking of this, the red ponytail sighed helplessly and grabbed Louise.
"Okay, let's go."
The next moment, flames erupted from under the red ponytail's feet and rushed straight up.
At this moment, the pillar of fire emerging from the front line of Torristine also attracted the attention of the Albion fleet. They quickly adjusted their muzzles and fired at the place where the pillar of fire was. Although they didn't know what it was, they could imagine that it should be Torristine's counterattack. To be on the safe side, it was better to deal with it first.
"Watch out for the cannons!!"
At this moment, looking at the incoming artillery shells, everyone started shouting and quickly chose to dodge.
Just as the cannonballs were about to hit the Torristine camp, the pillar of fire suddenly expanded and turned into a burning flame barrier, blocking the outside of the camp. The cannonballs were directly blocked and did not play any role at all.
"Your Royal Highness?!"
At this time, everyone looked back, and then their eyes widened in surprise.
The Angelietta standing in front of them was no longer dressed like before. On the contrary, she was wearing a white dress as sacred and gorgeous as a queen, holding a golden scepter in her hand. On Angelietta's forehead, a mysterious and wonderful rune was shining with bright red flames.
This was … a contract …
Angelietta lowered her head in surprise, staring at the scepter in her hand and the power surging through her body. She had heard about the process of the contract ceremony from the red ponytail, but Angelietta did not expect that it could actually give her such power …
Angelietta raised the scepter in her hand. Without chanting, the clouds in the distance began to roll. Then, bolts of lightning came crashing down, heavily striking Albion's fleet. The warships obviously did not expect to be attacked from such a distance. They were caught off guard and were immediately hit by the lightning. Several warships suddenly burst into flames.
"Long live Her Royal Highness!"
Seeing this, the soldiers shouted one after another. They had obviously seen what Angelietta had just done. This was obviously her power!
But it was still not enough!
Although the soldiers below cheered continuously, Angelietta could clearly see that the lightning only caused a certain effect on the ordinary warships. It did not hurt the largest flagship of the Albion fleet … This was not enough!
"Great God, I ask you to give me power! Destroy these invading enemies! "
While shouting, Angelietta raised the scepter in her hand again.
Along with her movement, the clouds in the sky began to surge and spin. Dark clouds appeared out of nowhere and covered the entire sky.
Then, the whole cloud turned bright red as if it was on fire.
Then, a huge black shadow emerged from it.
It was a bright red dragon that was hundreds of meters long. It had golden eyes and a body that spanned the entire sky. But unlike ordinary dragons, this dragon's body was as slender as a snake. On its back, there was a pair of equally bright red wings. It hovered from the sky and descended in the flames.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
