"You... look..."
Even after being enhanced by [Courage Anthem], with adrenaline fully activated, the soldiers still trembled before such a terrifying giant beast...
Too frightening... truly too frightening...
Even facing [Calamity] level magical beasts only fifty or sixty meters tall, humans would instinctively fear.
Let alone a [Natural Disaster] level super giant beast nearly a thousand meters tall!
"Boom! Boom boom..."
The footsteps of that super giant beast completely encased in exoskeleton charging toward the city wall were as terrifying as explosions!
Although it was still a full dozen kilometers from the city wall that had already been torn to pieces, the soldiers on the wall could already clearly feel the earth beneath their feet trembling...
Too frightening... truly too frightening...
"This... is this a natural disaster..."
"Clang!"
One soldier's weapon even dropped directly to the ground from extreme fear.
He wanted to reach down and pick it up, but his body had been completely frozen by terror...
Before long, a charging magical beast directly smashed him into bloody foam...
......
"Don't fear! Hold the position!"
Cecilia tried to dispel the fear in the soldiers' hearts, but her own voice was tinged with trembling...
Although her body had been strengthened by [Qi] to an unimaginable degree for ordinary people, facing such a super behemoth, no one could possibly not be afraid...
Cecilia's trembling voice didn't have any effective impact on the battle situation.
Although most soldiers hadn't given up fighting under the influence of Elashia's [Courage Anthem] , fear had crept onto almost everyone's faces.
The effect of adrenaline could make people physically unafraid, but it couldn't possibly make them rationally unafraid as well.
Looking at that super giant beast a full thousand meters tall, encased in layers of exoskeleton, no one believed Elasia could defeat it...
As long as it charged into their formation, it wouldn't even need to attack—it could just lie down and roll around once, and Elasia would face unimaginable casualties...
"How about... we just run?"
A soldier whispered to his comrade beside him.
Although fleeing was shameful, and Elasia would still be destroyed afterward, at least they could live one more day!
Standing on such a battlefield... facing such a monster...
There was absolutely no way to survive!
His comrade, while pulling his spear from the magical beast he had just killed, answered numbly:
"Even if we survived... what meaning would it have..."
The long battle had completely numbed him...
If desperately fighting until now only earned them a few more days of life, wouldn't all their previous resolve and courage become a joke...
......
Cecilia's heart had never felt such despair...
Through a warrior's instinct, she understood very clearly—she was no match for that Natural Disaster level magical beast.
Even Dorothy, who was stronger than her, couldn't possibly be.
She was too weak...
She could only wait for others to help her... she couldn't change anything herself...
"Ahhhhh..."
In utter despair, she cast aside all dignity and reason as a knight, using her spear to frantically slaughter the magical beasts blocking her path without any plan.
And the direction she wanted to go... was precisely toward that Natural Disaster level magical beast...
Awaken!
What exactly are you protecting?
Everything you have is about to be taken by these damned magical beasts!
Then the belated childhood she had woven for her sister would be shattered, and Her Majesty Elashia who had given her everything would die for the country!
Could it be that her feelings for Her Majesty Elashia and sister Sophia were all fake?
Didn't they deserve her protection?
Why couldn't she awaken?!
"Knight Cecilia, calm down."
A gentle voice tinged with infinite helplessness sounded in her ear.
Reason returned to Cecilia's eyes.
Only then did she realize that the magical beasts around her had all been slaughtered...
Looking at Her Majesty Elashia in the sky, already exhausted to the extreme, Cecilia felt utterly helpless...
"Your Majesty..."
Elashia shook her head.
It seemed Cecilia was unlikely to awaken at this time.
Her hope for Cecilia to awaken at this moment was itself an extravagant wish.
In the game, Cecilia's awakening was at least five or six years later.
By that time, Elasia had already been destroyed for several years.
It seemed she could only use that now...
Elashia didn't want to use that vial of Dragon Blood Essence.
After all, there was only one vial of Dragon Blood Essence, but after this wave of beast tide, there would be another wave of almost the same scale...
Moreover, the side effects of Dragon Blood Essence would erupt in about three or four days...
But... she had no choice...
If she didn't use [Doomsday Judgment] to annihilate that Natural Disaster level magical beast now...
As long as it charged into their position, Elasia could only declare its fall...
Now was the best time to use Doomsday Judgment.
After all, [Doomsday Judgment] on the battlefield was practically equivalent to nuclear weapons.
The destruction it caused would annihilate all life within several kilometers...
So Elashia could only use it when that beast was still far from Elasia...
Otherwise, the damage to the magical beast might not even exceed the damage to her own people...
Looking at Cecilia with some reluctance.
It seemed this time they were truly saying farewell forever.
There was only one vial of Dragon Blood Essence.
She could only use Doomsday Judgment once.
After the final wave of beast tide arrived... Elasia would be completely helpless.
It seemed... this time she was definitely going to die...
Thinking this, Elashia's heart didn't actually feel any sadness.
After experiencing nearly a year of battle, Elashia had already prepared herself for her story to end abruptly like this...
With determination filling her eyes, Elashia looked at the bewildered Cecilia on the ground.
"Cecilia, I shall give you my final command..."
"No... Your Majesty... no..."
Cecilia instinctively opposed Elashia's words.
She knew—in this battle, when Elashia commanded her with such a serious attitude, she had already prepared to die for the country...
Seeing Cecilia, who had wavered to the extreme, Elashia felt heartbroken but also shouted at her in an even more serious voice:
"Isn't obeying your Lord's commands your duty?!"
She had to make Cecilia lead the army toward the Iron Empire at maximum speed after surviving this beast tide!
Otherwise... Elasia's final foundation would also be destroyed with the arrival of the final beast wave!
Elashia's own death was already predetermined—she didn't want more serious casualties due to her own reasons...
"Cecilia! After this beast tide, you need not concern yourself with me!"
"If I can successfully kill this magical beast, then I command you to immediately lead the army in a forced march toward the Iron Empire after eliminating the remaining beasts!"
"If I fail to kill that beast, then you directly lead as many knights as possible away from the battlefield toward the Iron Empire!"
After saying these words, Elashia immediately ascended to high altitude.
She knew—she had to start casting spells quickly.
In less than a minute, that damned Natural Disaster level magical beast would charge within ten kilometers...
Taking out that pink glass vial emanating extremely ominous light from the system space, Elashia drank it all without hesitation!
Terrifying energy immediately ignited within Elashia's body!
And Elashia unhesitatingly used Doomsday Judgment on that [Natural Disaster] level giant beast's position!
Instantly! The fiery clouds of dusk stopped flowing!
Those blood-red clouds gathered around Elashia as she rapidly absorbed surrounding energy, creating powerful air currents!
And the cloud-shrouded sky was instantly transformed by Elashia into clear skies!
Sunlight suddenly shot toward the earth at this moment, instantly illuminating the dim land!
Standing on the ground, Cecilia watched this scene and was almost directly stunned in place...
