[Ding! Extra System Mission Released]
[Requirement: Personally participate and achieve victory in this battle]
[Reward: Spirit Force +20]
[Failure penalty: Grow a Second Pair of Breasts Losing such an advantageous battle is simply disgraceful!]
Under the night, the sound of battle cries shook the sky.
Even from several streets away, the chilling noise of war could be heard.
Arrows sliced through the air, magic roared!
All sorts of sword techniques clashed as people fought.
Sparks from metal collisions carried sorrowful screams, the ground trembled slightly, and countless streams of blood began to flow.
Ten minutes earlier
“What’s going on!?”
The moment they rushed out, they were met with a terrifying ambush.
Mike Millen hadn’t even reacted when a giant ballista bolt pierced through the wall beside him.
Bricks shattered, the wall collapsed.
Several soldiers who couldn’t dodge in time were skewered together like gourds!
Countless fire arrows rose into the night sky, then rained down upon the Subcity Lord’s Mansion.
In the blink of an eye, the once-silent night turned into a blaze.
“It’s a Giant Ballista! They have Giant Ballista!”
A soldier screamed in terror.
Mike Millen jumped in fright, the longsword in his hand unused, as he shouted in fear.
“Fall back! Fall back! Don’t—…”
Before he finished, a second volley of ballista bolts arrived.
The thick bolts were like harbingers of death—at a glance, his elite soldiers fell, dead or wounded.
A single bolt pinned four people to the rear pillar, spreading fear like wildfire.
“Don’t panic! Counterattack! With me—counterattack!”
At the critical moment, Mik Englandram’s hands shone with magic.
A Magic Circle was tossed into the air, and three Demon Wolves, each over three meters long, were summoned.
“Awwooo!”
The Demon Wolves roared, freezing the surrounding soldiers with fear.
“Go! Kill them!”
At Mik Englandram’s command, the Demon Wolves charged out the mansion gates and leapt into the darkness beyond.
“Ahhh!”
Screams rang out, and in an instant, the three Demon Wolves slaughtered four or five people!
But the Demon Wolves soon fell silent as well.
However, the enemy’s assault faltered for a moment.
Mike Millen gritted his teeth, raised his longsword, and rushed forward.
“Brothers, surrender means Capital Punishment! Fight! There’s still a slim chance if we escape!”
“Kill!”
At Mike Millen’s command, the Private Soldiers regrouped and charged out of the mansion.
Meanwhile, countless arrows rained down from the night sky, their piercing sounds endless!
“Shield wall!”
A group of Private Soldiers lifted heavy shields, blocking all incoming arrows.
The next second, a fireball flew from the darkness, blasting the shield bearers apart.
But thanks to their shields, they suffered minimal injuries.
“Kill!”
The Private Soldiers formed up and moved towards the street outside.
At the same time, the City Defense Army led by Hill Yu and defected Private Soldiers surrounded them from all sides.
“Rebel traitors! Kill one and earn a Silver Dragon! Your crimes will be forgiven!”
“Furthermore, kill five for one Gold, ten for ten Gold! Kill the Chief Rebel for a hundred Gold and Official Position and Nobility!”
At Willis’s proclamation, the previously hesitant Private Soldiers howled and charged forward.
Killing one wasn’t profitable, but killing ten was a fortune!
Taking down Mike and the others brought even greater rewards.
“Kill! Kill these traitors!”
Under the flames, seeing the attire and faces before them, Mike Millen and Mik Englandram nearly coughed up blood in rage.
“You! You! Traitors! How dare you betray me! You’ll die horribly!”
“Hehe… Vice City Lord, you raised arms in rebellion—why drag us down with you?”
“Now that we’ve taken the Mistaken Path, it’s time to serve the Lord! Kill you, and we can be good citizens again! Kill!”
Fueled by the lure of reward, these ‘good citizens’ fought with mad fervor.
Slaying a single rebel meant pardon.
The more they killed, the greater the rewards—who wouldn’t be tempted?
“Wall of Fire!”
Mik commanded the mages among the Private Soldiers to form up.
A soaring Wall of Fire erupted, instantly burning over twenty ‘good citizens’ to ashes.
Willis’s offensive slowed, and Mik pressed the attack.
“Wind Blade Formation!”
A formation of wind-attribute mages—barely Apprentice Mage level—unleashed Wind Blades.
Each had mastered only one spell—Wind Blade!
In an instant, sharp Wind Blades slashed from the rebel side.
‘Good citizens’ fell one after another.
Blood splattered!
Seeing their advance halted, Willis spoke from behind: “Elder Sister, Anne, you go.”
The two nodded, leading the City Defense Army into the fray.
“Wave!”
A massive surge of water evaporated the Wall of Fire!
Hill Yu directed the City Defense Army mages to erect Earth Walls.
The Wind Blades were blocked, leaving only deep gouges—no longer harming the soldiers!
“Kill!”
With the City Defense Army’s support, the ‘good citizens’ howled and surged forward, clashing with Mike and his forces.
Anne stood at the rear, commanding the mages to counter the enemy’s magic.
But soon, the fight devolved into melee, blurring both sides.
Anne could only lead her people into close combat.
Generally, powerful mages in the army were never ordinary soldiers.
And those ordinary soldiers who could use magic usually knew only a single, weak spell.
Or their talent was so poor they could never reach the Apprentice Mage threshold.
But when they formed formations to unleash the same spell, quantity became quality.
This, too, was a considerable force on the battlefield.
“I was going to watch from the sidelines, but now there’s no escape.”
As the System issued the mission, Willis took a deep breath, grabbed a regular iron sword, and joined the battle.
With the Real Eye and her mastery of magic, Willis was a killing machine!
She stepped forward, dodged a sneak attack, and drove her sword into another’s chest.
A sideways twist—a Thunderball grazed her chest, blasting the face of the rebel behind her black.
If Hill Yu embodied the brutal beauty of swordsmanship, Willis was the elegant Demon Goddess of Death!
Even though Mike Millen was a formidable Swordsman and Mik Englandram could continuously summon beasts as a Mage—
The battle still ended an hour later.
“Don’t kill—…”
Before Willis could finish, a crazed soldier stabbed Mik Englandram from behind.
Startled, Willis turned just in time to see another arrow pierce Mike Millen as he dueled Hill Yu.
The two fell, eyes wide open in death, signaling the end of the rebellion.
But Willis felt no joy.
She kicked aside the body in front of her, searching in vain for the two soldiers who delivered the killing blows.
“Are you alright, little sister?”
Hill Yu, unconcerned, wiped the blood from her hands and approached.
At that moment, Willis received the System’s reward notification: Spirit Force +20.
At the same time, the City Defense Army of Ushi City, as if waking from a long sleep, arrived late.
“Your Highness! Forgive us for arriving late to your rescue!”
Willis responded to the City Defense Army’s apology with only a cold laugh.
