34 No Retreat, No Surrender Only Death (2/2)
”For the Dragon Empire! All hail the Emperor!!”
”Watch me Goddess! Give me Divine Strength!”
The roars of the soldiers create a tidal wave of unrelenting moral, Anna watching Three Suns breakthrough into the Heaven Realm feels the pressure to perform as she knows she is being tested.
This campaign would allow her to be allowed to serve directly under the Emperor, looking down at her blood covered sword she moves to engage her next enemy. Anna much like Elise was only a weak female Villager until she underwent training with Lady Valara, Lady Tia, and General Timothy only by proving herself in this battle would she walk alongside her friend Elise. Gritting her teeth she leads her unit to push harder against the enemy forces which outnumber her, she then shuts out everything besides cutting down everyone who rushes at her.
Looking at the Female enemy surrounded by a well trained unit he knows this is the Leader of the enemy attacking force, putting on a cloak he disappears in the sea of bodies moving towards his unsuspecting victim. ”Once they have no leader we can push them back even if we lose this war we can cause heavy casualties on this side of the battle!” The unit watching over Anna was selected by Three Suns and Timothy when they heard she would be a Commander in the Campaign against the Thagia Kingdom, each of them men and women at the Late Stage of the Refinement Realm. Moving towards Anna at high speed is a shadow with blood red eyes, seeing the incoming threat the unit around Anna try to intercept him.
”Watch out Commander Anna!”
”A Peak Refinement expert is trying to assassinate Commander Anna. Surround him before he gets to close!”
Voices of the unit shouting at their nearby allies on the battle alert Anna of the incoming danger, she then spots a red eye'd shadow slip past her unit arriving right in front of her. Leaping at the female Commander the assassin wields two daggers, knowing he is acting against time he waste no time unleashing savage strikes at her. Defending against the swift and heavy dagger attacks Anna notices one of the daggers is coated in a greenish purple liquid, the left the right the daggers jet past her as she receives more an more light cuts under the relentless attack, while her guard unit is moving closer to her.
Noticing his time is almost out he makes his move stabbing Anna deep in the abdomen with the poison dagger, as he turns to get away he sees the world spinning before fading into darkness.
”Are you alright Miss Anna? Said the Guard watched as Anna battled the assassin to a draw before making a exchange with the assassin which cost him his head while he landed a clean blow, the dagger still inside Anna's armor.
”I am fine he had a poison dagger that stuck me a few times, Lady Valara seems to have a hate for poison so everyone in the army should have pills that counter toxins. Keep pushing the enemy back I will be fine, thank you for the warning without it I would have suffered a more serious wound.” Anna said pulling out the dagger, taking out a pouch filled with colorful pills she puts a few of the bright blue pills into her mouth before rejoining the battle.
Valara watching the entire battle from the sky has a smile on her face as she watched Anna who she personally trained perform below. ”That girl is to focused she failed to even notice she broke through into the Earth Realm, at least this buys Three Suns some time before she truly needs reinforcements. I can't wait for them to notice the critically wounded have been teleported back to camp were the new Pill Refiners we trained were waiting to treat them, then sending them back out to rejoin the fight. Tia is a cruel strategist giving the opponent no hope of winning at all, while our troops can keep coming back stronger. Indeed a good way to quickly train them!”
Turning to the trapped army of fifty thousand lead by King Edmond a savage smile forms on her beautiful face. ”So girls I leave them all to you after Bonding with Master you are both at the Peak of the Earth Realm I will be here if you can't handle it, so have fun tearing them apart kill them however you wish. With your Bloodline Powers Flames or cutting them to pieces with the sword arts given to you a gift from me to you from our Bond. Now which one of you is gonna kill Edmond? I know! How about this why don't you grind him to death with your flames until nothing remains of him, but you are not allowed to act against him until you wipe out those fifty thousand soldiers!”
