……

As the freezing cold rain fell, it diluted the smell of blood that covered the whole of New Holy City While in these inhu her great shile violently panting

It wasn’t her first ti in the battle to defend Herht that there would come a day when the New Holy city could fall

The walls were completely destroyed

In her whole life, Alicia had never seen such a horrible round and pressed its body close to the glacier cliff, drilling its bone claws into the cliff and cli up the wall step by step Even when it had reached the top, its lower body still hadn’t left the ground completely

If it had only a huge body it wouldn’t have been such a disaster, but none of thee hybrid species opened its mouth, a horde of demonic beasts rushed out and turned the wall into hell within seconds

Originally, it could still be said that everyone in her team was calm and prepared, but when the de was broken and turned into disorder During the chaos, Alicia was separated from her squad, so she could only helplessly watch as one of her comrades ed by a demonic beast Warether and flowed along the grooves on the stone-paved floor

When the horn gave the signal to retreat, Holy City’s ranite blocks the size of half a person fro thaton the city walls

Since Alicia had survived, she was to take over the post of captain, as per thethe battle, the vice-captain would take over the post of captain and lead the team to continue the war

To clear her head, Alicia bit her lips until an iron taste filled her o to the North Gate If the demonic beasts want to leave the New Holy City they have to pass through that point” Following this order ave up the area between the walls and the whole inner city, but she had no other choice There was no place co was more important than the Hermes Cathedral

She didn’t say it aloud, but everyone knew that with only 12 people, they couldn’t play an i the walls

In her heart, Alicia prayed, Maybe today will be the day I will die while defending the kingdom May God be kind to me However, to the outside world, she shouted, “Verdict will never give up! We will march!”

“Verdict will never give up!” shouted the others in union

Alicia’s team of twelve followed her and trotted in the direction of the Northern Gate During their run, the sound of the war beca wind until it completely died down
