366 A Sign Of Hope (1/2)
Alicia looked over her shoulder and looked at the four incoming monsters and her face paled. Her teammates could not fly so she was forced to run alongside them. Plus flying now would really be a bad idea. Over the course of the week, Alicia had gone out solo to test her luck against these monsters only to find her ability to fight these things to be very low. She could barely do any damage to them without resorting to catastrophic means. She wanted to leave such attacks as her last choice. So far she could see that Bergath was not harming the environment. Which was good. But she still felt that eventually, she would need to make a major move which will destroy a good portion of land.
”Why are things never easy!?” Alicia yelled out in complaint.
”Princess what should we do next?” The same soldier asked again, his face was paler than the others.
”As I said, just run! We can't do anything right now. Those monsters are stronger than all of us combined. We have to keep moving until one of the evangelines shows up. Only then can we make a dent in their defense so we can begin attacking.” Alicia had found the beam weapons of the evangelines were very good for dealing damage to these monsters so they were not totally out of the woods just yet in this battle. The issue was that there were millions of these monsters running around all over Alastine.
From intel reports, she had received they never once crossed the border into other lands. They only stayed in Alistine's original territory. With this Alicia was able to rest at ease a little bit. Luckily the shield her mother made around the capital was enough to keep the enemy at bay not even Bergath was able to destroy it. Not with the current power he was using anyway. Alicia felt that even now Bergath was not using his full power. She didn't know why he wasn't but she was relieved that he was holding back.
Because they can not penetrate the shield they have been roaming around Alastine sweeping through every village and city present. It seemed they were gathering all the resources they could. Normally in the days of old in Earth's history when an enemy invaded and the odds were against them, some rulers would resort to scorched earth tactics. Poisoning the water or destroying all crops and food supplies. But Alicia never wished to do these things mainly because it would destroy the livelihoods of her people. She did not want to turn the places these people called home into places that were no longer livable.
”Princess, can you hear me? Come in Princess Alicia!” A voice came out over the small magi radio she had on her hip. To her, this was the sound of an angel speaking to her.
”Yes, I am here! ” Alicia quickly answered.
”Princess, Evangeline 001 is ready to commence attack and all four targets are locked.”
”Fire at will!” Alicia said happily.
”Haha! Sorry, Princess, Tereax asked us to test out a new weapon system. This is what is called a focused shot. It magnifies and focuses the attack of each weapon into a single beam which then takes out a certain range in a radius.” Grey, the commander of Evangeline 001, said with a light chuckle.
