Chapter 467: The Epic Quest Is Drawing Its End
"I won't let anyone touch you, my lady."
That strong and deep voice came abruptly as the best music to my ears. I raised my head and laughed while my giants descended to stand in front of me.
He blocked the path and sight in front of me, but I didn't hesitate to shout the next moment:
"Kill everything, don't let anyone come near here."
"As you wish," the giant started to grab any rock or even crush buildings into small rubbles before he started throwing these as lethal darts.
"I'll leave this place to you three then," I said to my two demons and one giant, "don't let anyone get near that place," I pointed to the path leading to the heart of the fort before soaring in the sky.
Despite the arrival of my biggest aid, this fight was still hard to win without the biggest losses. I was so sure that no matter what my giant couldn't be touched with any harm.
But my other forces were vulnerable, not invincible like my giant. I knew how dirty my system was, and if he found me on the winning side here he wouldn't hesitate to go berserk and start a kamikaze mission to kill all the rest of my forces.
Winning was the most important thing to me. After it got secured, my second most priority was to come out of here with the least possible losses.
I flew to the front without any hesitation. I flew amidst the thick darts my giant kept sending roaring in the air towards my enemy.
And the first army to gain my help was my weak necromancers and a few mechas.
"Ding Dong! You aren't winning yet!"
"Humph!"
I totally ignored the viciousness in my system words as I knew already what he was up to. I didn't hesitate to throw off my spear and recall it back while shouting:
"Retreat, form a line with the giant… Retreat now!"
My shouts came to make everyone disengage, turn around and start running. I knew my strongest line of defense and offense was the giant, and sending them to him was the wisest thing right now.
"Go, bring me all the mechas," I said to a group of mechas, "and tell others to try to join together, hurry!" I said to another batch while keeping myself busy using everything I could to cover the retreat of my weak forces down below.
The mechas moved fast and the fact that most of the aerial monsters were crushed from previous battles left the entire world void of any danger to them.
And they didn't stop attacking the enemies everywhere they went until they vanished from my sight and only small shining dots remained in the far horizon.
"We can win this," I firmly muttered.
"Ding Dong! But at what cost?" the system didn't let this chance slip by without even getting on my nerves.
But I inhaled and exhaled slowly to calm my worries. "No matter what, I can rebuild everything no matter what the losses are," I said before laughing, "and who said I'll let you kill them all? I'm here and as long as I'm breathing I won't let you have it your way!"
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
"Hahahaha," he was extremely enraged and that made me laugh in happiness. My laughs reverberated through the entire world that was filled with shouts, wails of pain, and explosions.
Before I could even cross half the distance of the fort itself I saw the entire armies coming from the tornados turning around and starting to focus over my scattered forces.
And I knew my system was trying to act before I could do anything. Yet he was slightly late.
"They are here," I suddenly noticed an opening from the sky where a large number of mechas descended from the clouds, led by Dredly.
"Go, help those scattered forces to join each other," I didn't wait for them to reach me before shouting with my loudest voice.
Despite that I wasn't a bit worried, after all my armies were now led by my elites and no matter what they wouldn't be easily killed.
As I kept shouting, I saw the mechas spread out into three smaller groups before each went in a certain direction.
"They heard me," I couldn't help but laugh, "and now your forces' fate is only death."
I wasn't boasting, as I saw my mechas causing much damage without getting any harm in return. They kept circling over the grand armies on the ground, raining them down with all kinds of attacks and causing severe losses in a short time.
"All they need to do is to clear a path for others to join each other," I muttered to myself.
"Ding Dong! I won't let them do that!"
All of sudden I heard a faint rumble in the castle which made me feel some panic. "What will you do, filthy system?" I couldn't help but ask.
Yet the next moment I felt a strong force pulling my flying mecha and bringing it down forcibly to crash on the ground. "Ding Dong! You'll die here, I swear!" and the next moment I heard this distasteful voice of the system and I knew it was going all out.
"Then I won't let you be disappointed," I gritted my teeth before standing from the deep crater my mecha created from the crash, "and I'll grind down every single monster until nothing remains!"
And the next moment I jumped off the ground and reached the surface once more. My spear left my hand roaring all around while my mecha started raining down all the possible attacks it contained.
And like this I cleared a large piece of land around me, killing many monsters without any hurdle.
"Snap!"
I called back my spear before sending it off roaring again.
"Any help?" the giant roared from far behind, and I only answered without even glancing at him.
"Keep yourself there, and kill anyone that approaches you."
"The skeleton army?" he asked.
"Send them all to clear the front," I didn't hesitate to decide, "let's all fight to our heart's content… let this epic quest end in a grand way… let the entire world see how strong we are!"
I knew my odds were much decreased by that dirty trick the system pulled. Yet from what I could see, many mechas escaped this brutal fate as they were outside the range of the suppressive force of the fort.
Plus this force also affected the normal monsters inside the fort, which left them much weaker and less threatening than before.
"In front of mere strength… nothing matters my beloved system," and I ruthlessly said while swapping all the monsters and demons surrounding me and could be reached by my spear and mecha. "Let me teach you this lesson… don't meddle with a sweet princess like myself as she might turn out to be a lethal lionesse."
"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
"Hahahaha."
