I, who was eager to retire, became an Imperial General.

Chapter 325 Wendy's Scheme, A Chilling Cold

Knowing that Elafia was not playing by the rules, Leia realized that a formidable enemy was approaching and decided to find a time to test the princess.

This prepares for subsequent sanctions against the other party.

Of course, she also knew that for someone like her who wasn't good at strategy, completing this task independently would be an impossible task.

Fortunately, she knew that there was a true sage who could perfectly resolve this matter.

And that person was...

"What?! Princess Alafia took the initiative to meet the captain?! And even gave him a token of their love?!"

In the bedroom of a small manor in Appletown, the man was suddenly awakened by a signal coming from a communication device inside a military uniform hanging above the bed.

Major Wendy, who was wearing a cute pink floral pajama set, was still a bit grumpy when she woke up.

Upon hearing this, his eyes widened instantly, and he immediately became fully alert.

Almost instinctively, she sprang up from the bed, only to have her head slam straight into the solid wood of the princess bed.

"Boom!"

"Ouch!"

The violent impact caused Wendy to scream in pain, her vision blurring. But she didn't have time to rub her red forehead; instead, she quickly put the communication device that had fallen on the bed back to her ear, and while getting dressed, she hurriedly asked Leia on the other end:
"When did this happen? And when did the captain get involved with this prince?"

"Major Wendy, have you forgotten what happened at the victory celebration?"

"Uh, this..."

Upon hearing Leia's questioning, Wendy felt a pang of guilt and a touch of annoyance.

Of course I knew about the victory celebration, but I thought that the swan was just trying to win over the captain. After all, judging from the captain's expression, it was obvious that the idiot didn't know her at all. So I didn't take it seriously at all and even secretly laughed at that arrogant Serbian girl for not being able to tell the truth and making John angry.

"But didn't we agree to be strangers? Why is this swan actually playing hard to get?"

This isn't magic at all!
Listening to Leia's description, Wendy belatedly realized that she had actually allowed a major threat to break into the already fierce battle. Besides regret, she also felt indescribable anger.

After all, she successfully persuaded the naive and strong girl Leia to join her side, while silently reaching a ladylike agreement with the proud Serbian girl to conduct the competition in a fair, just, and open manner.

This war, which belongs exclusively to women, has shown unprecedented positive development.

And all she needs to do is reveal her family background at the right moment to successfully make the vain captain kneel down and shout "rich woman, please take care of me!"

But it was at this very moment.

Just as this victory was about to fall into her hands over time.

The exceptionally intelligent and unparalleled Major Wendy never imagined that, in this unprecedentedly advantageous situation...

Things took an unexpected and devastating turn of events when a childhood sweetheart appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, this woman was clearly different from Serbia, who was arrogant and thought no rule could stump her, and Leia, who was easily fooled and brainwashed by her words, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if we two divided the world together?" and became her loyal ally, doing whatever she wanted.

This woman clearly had no intention of fair competition. Instead, she chose to use her status as the First Princess to launch a devastating attack, attempting to forcefully end the conflict with power and become the ultimate winner.

That's absolutely outrageous, you bastard!

Alafia, you damned philanderer!
"Crack!"

Colonel Wendy grew increasingly angry, grinding her teeth so hard they cracked, and her full chest heaved violently.

At this moment, she wished she could go all out and fly back to Eleno at top speed, then rush into that annoying Mirror Spring Manor and give that hateful First Princess two big slaps across the face.

This is to let the other party know what will happen to those who break the rules.

But the thought that doing this might lead to him being sent to trial the next day, even though he was of collateral blood in the Kingdom of Brown and had the merits he had previously earned, meant he was spared death.

Even a fool could tell that the seemingly pure and innocent woman, whose true nature was as dark as a swan, would seize this opportunity to step forward and act as a peacemaker.

Given Captain Pighead's appallingly low emotional intelligence and his complete resistance to being charmed by a beautiful woman's compliment, she could practically picture how things would unfold.
Inside the Imperial Grand Hotel, the pig-headed captain, his intelligence clouded by beauty, glared at himself with a dark expression, while the detestable white swan, Alafia, leaned gently against his ear, feigning injury as she spoke:

“Brother John, why is your deputy so violent? It hurts so much. But it’s okay, she’s your deputy after all. I can forgive her for Brother John’s sake.”

"Also, I'm really glad that it was I who got hit this time, instead of you, John."

"After all, unlike the violent Major Wendy, a true lady would only feel sorry for John Geigei~"

After saying that, she took the opportunity to lie in John's arms. While John was being deceived by the swan's hypocritical performance and was furiously scolding him, the hateful swan gave Major Wendy, who had now become an incompetent loser, an evil smile.

"!"

"Oh my god, I'm so angry!"

After conjuring up this scene in her mind, Wendy felt as if her skull was about to be blown open by the steam of her anger.

He almost had his Dao heart shattered on the spot, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, she diligently reads Maslow's quotes every day, and guided by a long-term development perspective, she has shed her original anxious personality and become more composed than ever before.

Therefore, shortly after this outburst of rage, she quickly used reason to dispel this unusual emotion, replacing it with an unprecedented solemnity, along with a lingering fear:
This woman actually thought of using Leia to launch a psychological attack on me, hoping to subdue me without fighting. Even I, who have read the captain's quotes and have already gained extraordinary wisdom, almost fell into her trap.

All I can say is, she truly lives up to her title as the First Princess; she's got some skills!

"Ailafia, I acknowledge your strength!"

Realizing that this woman was no ordinary person, Wendy was not intimidated by her shameless fighting style. Instead, an unprecedented fighting spirit emerged in her azure eyes.

At the same time, astonishing wisdom began to operate rapidly.

Currently, after Alafia forcibly seized territory by virtue of being a princess and childhood friend, the overall situation is now at an unprecedented disadvantage for them.

After all, the fact that the other party could act so unpredictably and use others to do their dirty work proves that they are not as naive as they appear.

Rather, he is a true mastermind, and someone whose skill level is at least as high as mine. How could such a person not understand that by breaking the rules, he would incur the hostility of the remaining three forces, or even be attacked by them all?
The reason why the other party still chose to do so is very simple: while using her status as a princess to exert pressure, they also offered her the position of a concubine as a lure, thus winning her over.

However, given Serbia's arrogance, the other party would certainly not accept such an attempt to win them over by offering to share the world equally. Therefore, the other party's target could not possibly be Serbia.

But Leia, this innocent and strong girl, is different.

This guy was almost fooled into becoming a cheerleader, and even almost got kicked out of the game by himself.

If the other party were facing Alafia, then this little fool, who's like a raccoon, would probably be easily fooled into losing his mind in just a few words, and become Alafia's lackey, turning against him instead.

Even if I use my extraordinary wisdom to persuade Serbia to join forces with me to deal with the foreign enemy and traitor, we can then settle the score.

With the combined efforts of these two, and relying on the Binot family and the identity of a princess, she herself, a wandering princess from a foreign land, and a newly promoted lieutenant general who was excluded from the core of the empire and had no background whatsoever, was able to rise to prominence.

It was clear that they could not withstand the combined pressure from these two established noble families.

"Therefore, I cannot allow Leia to be brainwashed into becoming Ellafia's lackey, at least not at this stage!"

Under the operation of her extraordinary wisdom, Major Wendy instantly sorted out all her thoughts, and her gaze became exceptionally wise.

At this moment, she had completely understood Alafia's intentions.

Unlike the initial attempt to provoke her into acting impulsively by using her as a pawn, after a detailed analysis, Wendy realized that this was actually a challenge from Alafia.

A challenge from princesses to a true duel!

In an instant, he understood everything, and after learning about the princess's background and the current 'battle situation' from Leia, he realized that everything was clear.

Having changed back into a military uniform and carrying a magic bag, Wendy arrived at the manor gate. Along the way, she secretly took the collateral branch badge representing her family identity from her father's savings. She immediately looked in the direction of Eleanor with a disdainful expression.

As if transcending time and space, their gazes met those of a princess who was sitting at her desk, chuckling as she examined the chessboard. Her hands, seemingly delicate yet imposing, controlled the game, and she believed she had the entire game under her control.

Wendy showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a disdainful smirk appeared on her lips.

"Hehe, you know I am the wandering princess of the Kingdom of Brown, and destined to become the new queen, but instead of backing down, you come straight up here?"

"Then let's try to get a little closer."

"But unfortunately, from the moment you chose to be my enemy, your defeat was already destined!"

After mentally declaring her battle vows to a certain wicked princess, Wendy unleashed her full magical power and took to the skies without hesitation, leaving a trail of brilliant blue ribbons in the night sky amidst a piercing whistle.

Then, as if it were a shooting star, carrying unprecedented power, it sped rapidly toward the location of Eleno.

"Whoosh!"

Meanwhile, Wendy, filled with fighting spirit, left a letter for her parents and sped off towards Eleanor.

Inside the Imperial Hotel, after Leia left and John finished tidying up the preparations he needed to make before tricking the old man the next day, a tired John decided to go straight back to his bedroom to rest.

But before he could even push open the door, there was a knock on it:
"Dong dong!"

"……Enter!"

"Squeak!"

As the door was pushed open, the next thing John saw was Leia, who had just left.

Why is this socially awkward, strong girl back again?

John was filled with doubt as he looked at 'Leah' in front of him.

However, assuming that the other party had made an unexpected discovery and returned overnight to inform him, John didn't think much of it. Instead, he forced himself to stay awake, turned his back to pour himself a coffee, and decided to listen to why this strong woman had returned:
"Leah? Why are you back again? Have you discovered something new about that stance?"

"Well, it is."

The person opposite, 'Leya', responded in a muffled voice, while silently moving closer to the figure in front of her.

"despair!"

Twenty meters.

Fifteen meters.

ten meters.

"!"

Looking at John Maslow so close to her, Anna, a high-ranking mage, had a glint of light in her eyes and a triumphant smile on her lips.

At this distance and in this unguarded state, as the inheritor of the Equality of All Things technique, she was certain that even if John Maslow possessed a level beyond his class,

The opponent would have no chance to react to their surprise attack, let alone take any defensive action.

All she needs to do is use this opportunity to shatter the protective barrier on the monster's body using the Equality of All Things technique, and then she can drive the anti-magic nail into the monster's body, thus capturing it alive and achieving her subsequent goal of exchanging prisoners!
He might eventually retire successfully, and might even be able to eliminate this major threat to the Allies!
And the moment that determined all of this is right now, right now!

However, just as Anna was excitedly preparing to launch an attack and achieve her goal...

She was suddenly astonished to discover that the figure that had been facing away from her directly in front of her had vanished like a bubble, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye after a burst of colorful light.

It was as if everything she had seen before was not real, but some kind of illusion!
What is this...

Before Anna could recover from the bizarre scene, a sharp cracking sound of a safety lock being released rang out from inside the room. At the same time, Anna felt a sharp, metallic sensation pressing against her temple.

The steel produced by the Empire's magical industrial production line, the moment it touched her skin, conveyed the coldness and chilling aura inherent in the Empire's violent aesthetics, through her raised hairs.

In the man's tone, which was playful yet strangely excited, an unprecedented, bone-chilling terror, seeped into every corner of her body, seeping from her tightly constricted pupils.
"What are you looking at, my dear, Allied little mouse?"

"!"
