The siege camp outside the city. Amy and Hezekiah were walking anxiously outside a tent. Lying in the tent is Rurik, who is currently being treated by military doctors.
The entire siege camp was filled with screams of mourning. Many soldiers were injured, and those who were not injured were sitting on the ground lifelessly with their heads hanging down. Spears, swords, and shields were thrown all over the ground.
"The morale of the soldiers is too low. We should retreat overnight." Hezekiah asked Amy for her opinion. Since Amy led the team to rescue them, her words had a certain influence in front of Hezekiah and Rurik.
Amy shook her head resolutely: "His Majesty will arrive soon, and before that we have to secure the camp."
Just when Hezekiah wanted to say something more, the tent curtain was rolled open and the military doctor came out. Amy and Hezekiah quickly gathered around and asked about Rurik's condition.
"Rurik's vitality is tenacious and he is awake now." The military doctor said, "However, he is too seriously injured and will not be able to get out of bed in the near future. He needs to lie down and rest."
Amy and Hezekiah hurried into the tent. Rurik was leaning on the bed with a pale face.
"How cunning, that guy named Dust actually showed weakness on purpose, making me fall into their trick. Don't tell me, this wound is really painful."
Rurik tried to turn his body, but the wound was injured, causing him to hiss in pain. But soon, he smiled at Amy and Hezekiah.
"I'm convinced, hiss... that last arrow, even if I was prepared in advance... I'm afraid I can't stop it. The guy named Dust is better than me. I really want to make friends with him... hiss, this bed is terrible It’s so damn hard, it makes me panic.”
"Let's settle for now." Amy said, "When Azov City is captured, you can find a comfortable place to lie down."
After asking about Rurik's situation, Amy and Hezekiah left Rurik's camp.
"You just said you were going to capture the city of Azov?" Hezekiah asked, "What are you going to do?"
Amy looked at her hands. Just this morning, the hand controlled fire and claimed hundreds of lives.
"There is nothing to do," she said, "His Majesty will be here soon."
As long as Ella arrives, all problems will be solved - so she believes.
It was late at night and the soldiers had all fallen asleep. But Amy was lying in her own tent, unable to sleep. She put her index finger into her mouth and imagined her blood flowing out of her index finger, entering her mouth and stomach, and then turning into a raging fire.
Three consecutive incidents have made one thing beyond doubt - what power is contained in her blood?
"How could it be?" Amy laughed self-deprecatingly, "Am I still a princess of some country?"
—Death, Scipio.
The sentence that suddenly came to mind made her smile stop abruptly. She hurriedly pulled her index finger out of her mouth, as if it contained some highly toxic drug.
"How could I say such a thing? Who is that voice? Scipio, is it simply referring to Her Highness Anna who is in Azov City for some reason? Or...?"
"Fire! Fire!" A sudden disturbance outside the camp interrupted her thoughts. Amy hurriedly put on her clothes. As soon as she got out of bed, a soldier shouted outside the tent in a panic, "Sir, the enemy... the enemy is coming to rob the camp!"
The soldiers of the Republic of Liguria approached the siege camp in the dark and launched an attack without the pirate kingdom's army being prepared. They threw torches into the tents and haystacks along the way, while killing the pirate kingdom's soldiers who had just woken up from their dreams. Soon, half of the siege camp was in flames.
Anna rode a horse and followed closely behind Dust.
"I didn't expect you to come!" Dust said to Anna, "Don't you want people to know that you can ride a horse?"
"Now is not the time to worry about such things." Anna watched the movements of the Pirate Kingdom's army closely, "I have more important things to confirm."
A howl of wolves sounded, suppressing all the cries. Amy rode Fenrir and rushed out of the tent. She ran back and forth in the siege camp, shouting over and over again in an almost hoarse voice: "Don't panic! There are many of us! Pick up weapons and line up to face the enemy!"
Her efforts had no effect. The soldiers had just suffered a major defeat during the day, and their morale had been extremely low. Suddenly they encountered enemy troops hijacking the camp, and they had no other thoughts in their minds except escaping. The few who were encouraged to take up arms soon died in the hands of the oncoming enemy troops. Their deaths led to a further decline in morale. In this case, the collapse of the entire army was unstoppable.
The soldiers of the Ligurian Republic noticed Amy and aimed their spearheads and crossbow arrows at him.
Anna also drew an arrow. However, she didn't nock the arrow to her bow right away.
"Aphrodite's protection alone cannot reverse the current decline." Anna looked at Amy and said to herself, "Come, let me see the fire again."
The soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom fled for their lives in a panic, while Amy gradually fell into the siege of the Republic of Liguria. As she rushed left and right, she slowly fell into despair. Finally, she cut her finger and prepared to drip the blood into her mouth.
Anna put the arrow on her bow with a solemn expression. After half a day of rest, she had regained most of her strength. As long as the monster appears again during the day, she is confident that she can take it down.
In the sky, there is a bright full moon hanging.
In the distance, a few green lights like will-o'-the-wisps appeared.
Suddenly, sporadic shouts came from a distance: "Najirfa! It's Najirfa!"
In the noisy battlefield, no sound could be heard so clearly by everyone on the battlefield. But there were not just one or two people shouting like this, but hundreds or thousands. Even in the end, the tens of thousands of pirate kingdom soldiers shouted excitedly: "Najirfa! Najirfa!"
Amy turned her head abruptly. Blood fell to her face and she wiped it away.
Nagelfa.
Such cries echoed across the battlefield, drowning out the roars of the Ligurian soldiers. And all the generals of the Republic of Liguria, including Anna, were wondering: "Nagel Law? What is Nagel Law?"
A fleeing soldier suddenly turned around, took the ax from the pursuer at the risk of being chopped, and then cut the pursuer's head in half with his counterattack. Similar scenes were repeated everywhere on the battlefield. The soldiers who were running like chickens and dogs just now seemed to have suddenly gained some magical power, and each one launched a counterattack like a madman.
The high morale of the Ligurian soldiers was overwhelmed by even higher morale. They looked at the soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom who rushed towards them in horror, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt like madmen.
"What's going on?" Every general of the Ligurian Republic asked the people around him, "What magic is this?"
"I have heard of this magic." A veteran replied with a trembling voice, "Gives protection to the entire army, turning them into terrifying berserkers... You can't be wrong, this is Odin's protection!"
