…
"There's another large group of enemies coming from the east, coo! Your Highness Anna, how's the situation on your side, coo? "
Maggie's voice sounded from the Sigil of Listening once again. Even though she did not use any hurried words, Anna could still sense the urgency of the situation.
With the passage of time, the number of Sky-sea Realm warriors that had entered the battlefield was constantly increasing. They swam over from all directions and climbed up Fog Island, charging wave after wave at the First Army, completely ignoring the corpses of their own kind beneath their feet. The lush grassland no longer existed, and in its place was scorched earth that emitted pungent smoke. And at the lower ground, the flowing bluish-black blood had already converged into small puddles.
The battle had already turned from an easy victory to a stalemate.
Against such a ferocious siege that disregarded all costs, the First Army inevitably suffered casualties. Even with Eleanor and Aerial Knight's support, there was no guarantee that not a single monster would be missed.
The blade beasts that had lost their invisibility were still enemies that ordinary soldiers found difficult to deal with, not to mention the mutated Nest Mothers that could spray acid and corrode steel from a distance, as well as the mountain-like Mountain Devouring Beasts.
Now, the army was still able to maintain the frontlines and keep the Sky-sea Realm out of the sinkhole, but the risks were piling up at a visible rate. No one knew how many more of their forces were hidden in the sea, and the moment a breach appeared, it could very well lead to a collapse. Maggie was reminding her that they had to make good use of their time.
However, Anna and company had yet to see the Guardian's figure.
"There's no result from the inner circle." She gently exhaled, trying to make her voice as calm as possible. "We are currently searching further out."
"Understood, all the best, coo."
"I think it's time to retreat." Hackzord suddenly said. "Young lady, the performance of you and your tribe has indeed surprised me. To be able to persist so far into enemy territory and fight alone, it can be considered a successful battle. But perseverance does not necessarily bring rewards. The fact that the Guardian has yet to appear only means that it is no longer here. "
"It's also possible that it doesn't want to be affected by the cannon fire, so it has found a place to hide." Nightingale retorted. "If we were to give up now, everything will be set in stone."
"Let me make this clear first. Although I've agreed to work with you, I don't intend to die here." "If the situation is irreversible, I will leave first. When that happens, these soldiers will have nowhere to retreat to. Are you sure you want to do this?" Looking at Anna's gaze, it couldn't help but add, "Of course … I will only do this as a last resort."
"I won't force you to stay, and I don't have the strength to force you." Anna said frankly, "But there's something I hope you understand. The failure of the plan means that there's no future. It might take a long time for the Sky-sea Realm to devour the entire world, and most of the humans here will never see that day. But for people like you who have long lives, this is a fate that you have to face. Do you want to live in such a world? "
"…" Hackzord was momentarily speechless.
"We haven't reached our limits yet," Silent Disaster suddenly said.
"What?"
"I've fought with humans before, and this is far from their limit. If it's that unit, they should be able to last longer. "She reached out to pull out the Obsidian Sword from her back." Besides, I haven't done anything yet. "
"Take note, Your Highness Anna! There's a Sky-sea Realm unit approaching in front of you. " Almost at the same time, Sylvie's warning sounded from the Sigil. "I've already informed the two closest armored teams, but they are currently engaged in battle with the enemy. Reinforcements might arrive later!"
"Let them take care of themselves." Nightingale took a step forward. "Leave this to us."
"That's right. I don't want to lose to the devil on such matters." The God's Punishment Witches raised the shotguns in their hands.
Soon, a mixed unit of blade beasts and Nest Mothers appeared in front of them. Behind them were two gigantic Mountain Devouring Beasts.
Silent Disaster was the first to charge into the enemy's formation.
Under her summons, dark clouds gathered in the sky as golden streams of light constantly flickered and converged. Finally, they transformed into a bolt of lightning that tore through the heavens and rained down on her surroundings!
This one attack turned dozens of monsters into ashes.
Nightingale followed closely behind. She used the changing lines to leap nearly a hundred meters in a single step and appeared directly behind the front row of blade beasts. By the time the opponents reacted and pounced back, they were greeted by a few bullets that had already been fired.
She did not even bother to look at the outcome as she turned around and continued walking. She did not know if it was an illusion, but the Fog World seemed to have become a lot friendlier. It would always provide her with suitable lines when she needed it. In a few blinks of an eye, she arrived in front of the Nest Mother.
This was also the goal that Nightingale had set from the beginning.
Unlike the blade beasts, Nest Mothers could constantly hatch blades and limbs, and were the core strength of the Sky-sea Realm. Every kill would weaken the enemy's strength.
Furthermore, this was not the first Nest Mother she had encountered.
Most people would be at a loss when facing such a gigantic creature, but she would not.
Nightingale skillfully "passed" through the ribs and flesh, followed by the intestines, heart and lungs, and finally arrived at the enemy's core — the eyes. Although it was slightly different from the Nest Mother that had devoured the Thousand Eye Demon, they were still of the same origin in terms of structure. To these monsters, the gigantic eyeball hidden in their bodies was equivalent to their brain.
She stuffed the gun barrel straight into the Nest Mother's eyeball and pulled the trigger!
The latter did not even have the time to use its tentacles to chase her away before its brain was blasted open. Having lost its ability to control the Nest Mother, it could no longer use its magic power, and its gigantic body that relied on magic power to prop itself up collapsed.
…
Anna stood in her original spot and could not help but clench her fists.
She was not as calm as everyone imagined. Five years ago, she was just an ordinary girl from a small border town, so how could she be calm and unperturbed in the face of everything? She had thought of retreating countless times, but upon thinking that Roland might never wake up, she suppressed her fear and clenched her teeth to persevere.
But now, Anna realized that the fear in her heart had greatly reduced.
Everyone's fighting figures gradually blurred her vision. She was not the only one persevering — there were many people standing by her side, cutting through the thorns with her as they advanced towards the same goal.
She once again understood the meaning of a battle of destiny.
A predetermined path was a kind of destiny.
And rising up to resist and break free from the shackles was another kind of destiny.
The difference was that the latter's destiny was written by herself.
At this moment, an extremely bright light burst out from the surface of the sea tens of kilometers to the north. It rapidly expanded, illuminating the gray sea horizon into a sparkling eerie blue!
It was the Kun Peng carrying out an interception mission.
The Glory of the Sun, which had been produced in a month and a half, was planned to be used to separate the Sky-sea Realm's reinforcements. Its explosion meant that a large number of enemies were surging over from the distant sea, and the situation had undoubtedly reached a critical juncture.
Anna no longer had the uneasiness she had in the beginning.
She faced the impending explosion without taking a step back.
Suddenly, a woman's figure appeared out of thin air in front of Anna. She was dressed in white, and her long hair was blown up by the airwaves, blocking the brilliance of the explosion behind her.
