In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

The snowy owl flapped its wings and let out a long cry before flying out of the room and disappearing into the night sky in an instant.

Although he could go the next day, Liszt decided to set off that very night.

No potential danger should be ignored!

Chapter 56 Unknown Enemy

Just an hour after Liszt noticed something amiss and sent the Snow Owl to White Moon City, Liszt's sister Melf was handling family affairs in her study.

She listed out the current tasks and checked them one by one.

One of these measures was to provide construction support for Red Maple Territory.

Although Lister took a large amount of supplies with him in the Gate of Babylon before he left last time, those supplies would only last for six months at most.

Thinking that her younger brother might not be able to afford cakes again in six months, Melf instructed her servants to prepare a caravan, loading various scarce resources onto the vehicles for the next day's journey to Red Maple Territory.

Because of this incident, the main force of the Eller family was mobilized, and the convoy and supplies even temporarily occupied a large area of ​​the manor.

Melf felt incredibly happy just thinking about her younger brother's expression when he saw so many supplies; he could even eat two extra buckets of rice.

but……

Sky-blue eyes swept across the charts in front of them, a fleeting look of worry crossing their faces.

Crime rates rose again in White Moon City, but fortunately, she brought the armed clashes under control. However, the territories of her subordinate nobles outside her jurisdiction remained unchanged.

When will this finally end?

When she went to the outer city, even orc children dared to steal her belongings, which speaks volumes.

Ugh……

Melf sighed deeply.

Why has she encountered so many troubles since taking over the territory?

Maybe next time I'll ask my brother if he has a solution in the letter?

Never mind, I'll go rest first.

Melf raised her hand to turn off the magic lamp in front of her. Just as she stood up, the sound of the door opening quickly caught her attention.

This is the most important study in the Eller family, and no servant will open the door without permission!

When Melf looked over, the old butler, his face smeared with blood, was clutching his chest, gasping for breath, his face filled with terror.

"Lady Melf! Outside! The manor has been attacked! Other nobles too! Many guards are dead!"

???

It wasn't until three seconds later that Melf showed a look of astonishment.

"what happened?!"

"Strange enemies have attacked...attacked the manor! Many of the guards have already died!"

The old butler grabbed Melphine's shoulder and pleaded earnestly.

"Master and Madam have gone to meet the enemy, Miss, you must escape quickly!"

"Run away to the young master's place!"

"me……"

Melf suddenly noticed that the old butler's spotless white shirt was stained with bright red blood. She ripped open the old butler's shirt and found that the flesh inside was twisted into a mass, but the blood was strangely stuck to the flesh.

A second later, flesh suddenly burst open, and blood spurted out, staining Melf's dress red.

At that moment, Melf saw the relief on the old butler's face, a relief that came from having accomplished his mission.

So you endured so much pain to tell me this...

Her blood-stained hands tied her long blonde hair into a ponytail, then she tore the dress at her ankles, revealing her muscular thighs.

Melf went to the weapon rack in the study and took down her Swift Sword.

The sword gleamed with silver light, reflecting a pair of resolute sky-blue eyes.

The Eller family has no cowards who retreat without a fight! Nor do they have any scum who abandon their subordinates and flee!

Melf kicked off her high heels and ran barefoot out of the study.

As soon as she came out, she heard a cacophony of crying and screaming.

The study was so well soundproofed that she didn't notice anything unusual about her surroundings.

No, it should be said that attacking a duke's estate was unprecedented in the history of the United States, leaving her completely unprepared.

Why would anyone deliberately guard against something that is unlikely to happen?

Melf jumped over the railing and landed in the lobby on the first floor from the third floor.

Where is the enemy?

The presence of servants' corpses in the hall indicates that the enemy has already breached the manor.

She wanted to see what kind of enemy had the audacity to run wild in a duke's territory!

Just then, a figure rushed towards Melf from behind.

Too slow!

Melf was enveloped in a crimson aura as she turned and dodged the attack with the slightest movement.

Due to inertia, the enemy's hand pressed down on the ground, and the green energy in his palm immediately came into contact with the ground.

Stab it!

No sound.

The ground twisted into fragments like tofu.

This is? !

A mysterious power never before seen!

Melf's swift sword pierced the back of her enemy's head with lightning speed, instantly taking his life.

She looked at the other person's dog ears, recalling that dangerous power, and felt a cold sweat break out on her back.

The unknown danger my brother mentioned has come true so quickly!

Before Melphine could think further, several more enemies appeared.

She easily killed her enemies by relying on her physical abilities, which far surpassed those of her enemies.

They were all orcs, and they all used that unknown, dangerous energy...

Fortunately, the enemy was not entirely beyond our comprehension.

The unknown energy they used, while possessing strange destructive power, did not seem to enhance physical fitness.

Melphine fought her way to the outside of the manor.

The outside world was in complete chaos, with the knights and guards directly under the Eller family fighting the enemy.

It seems that although they suffered heavy losses due to the raid on the Eller family, they have not completely lost control.

"boom!!!"

The sudden explosion made Melphine look up into the distance, where she saw a cloud of smoke rising into the night sky, followed by a burst of holy light that gradually dissipated.

Her expression immediately turned much worse.

It seems the situation is far worse than she anticipated...

"Click!"

The sudden metallic clanging sound startled Melphine awake.

He raised his sword and deflected the incoming metal chains.

Melf glanced at the blade and noticed that it had a small nick.

This is a magical weapon that Tarin gifted to the Duke!

With its exceptional hardness and toughness, and protected by its blood energy, it could cut through almost anything. How could such a weapon be damaged?!

Melphine looked up at the roof of the manor and saw a figure in a gray cloak, holding chains in his hands, jump down.

Wait! Those hands!

The hood fell down, revealing grayish-white fur and a dog-like head. The hands were similar to those of humans but covered in fur, a characteristic of the orc race.

A canine-human hybrid with purebred lineage?!

There shouldn't be any beastmen in the United States!

The kobold didn't speak, but simply spun the small iron ball at the end of the chain before hurling it at Melf.

So fast!

They're not even in the same league as the enemy we just faced!

Melf narrowly avoided the small iron ball and the chain by just barely grazing them.

The green energy swirling around it also brushed against Melf's thigh.

"Tear!"

The flesh on her thigh immediately began to twist and deform, and a second later, the overflowing blood covered her long, white legs.

Can't I even get a scratch?!

The next moment, the small iron ball that had smashed a twisted hole in the grass suddenly hurtled toward Melf's head.

!!!

Am I going to die here?!

Melf felt as if she were seeing a revolving lantern, the most memorable scene being when she took over the headship of the Eller family with her father's blessing and became the new Grand Duke of White Moon.

Countless servants blessed her, and even her younger brother left a letter of blessing beforehand.

"what!!!!"
