After I died, my personal maid rebelled.

A brilliant red light shone into the night, and the illusory flowers in the shadows evaporated amidst a series of explosions. The sun rose in response, and Tina's arm, which she had just raised to defend herself, was scorched by the extreme heat wave.

Her skin and flesh were instantly charred, startling her so much that she quickly dodged away, creating distance between herself and the bright light.

Unstable wind pressure caused the entire space to tremble, and Paul, the human paladin commander, appeared on the battlefield, his halo transformed into a golden-red light.

Tearing off the charred skin from her arm, a pool of blood was carelessly spilled, and strands of colorful metallic wires re-outlined Tina's wound.

She stood amidst the undead legion, her casual smile gone, her solemn gaze fixed intently on Paul's every move.

The arrival of reinforcements, the Second Division, as dazzling as the aurora borealis, refreshed the new recruits' worldview.

When did humans evolve? Why don't they take us with them?

Kate, who also didn't receive any special recognition, appeared calm and collected. Knowing her own abilities, Kate made a rational choice.

He patted Erian on the shoulder and pointed to Tina, who was cautiously tightening her defenses, as if giving her some kind of order.

The battlefield was now divided into two sides. On the chaotic eastern battlefield, the elven army was locked in combat with the demon infantry, while the undead legion pressed towards the elven army and the new human army. Under the strong intervention of the Second Division of the Northern Army, they continued to retreat.

Paul raised his blood-red sword, as red as the setting sun, and as if summoned, human soldiers surged toward him, even the new recruits tumbling and crawling in.

"Eliminate the wicked!"

A fierce wind arose, and the human soldiers roared deafeningly. As red light fell from the sky, the alien human army, which had been in a defensive and offensive posture, launched a fearless charge.

Tina, her brows twitching, pursed her lips. Compared to the immortal magic emanating from the undead legion, the life magic emanating from the human army was pure and vast, as if it had received a supreme blessing.

Who among us is truly the apostle of the goddess of life?

"kill!"

At her command, Tina chose to confront the enemy head-on, sending the last 30,000 or so undead into the battlefield.

There was no time to hesitate. After this battle, the Undead Legion would cease to exist, but both humans and demons would be severely weakened. As long as the Great Sage could successfully deal with that strange saintess, they could abandon the mess left by the Elven Kingdom and officially move forward with the next plan.

Compared to the four-tribe war in the east, the cavalry duels in the west were decided by the simplest violence.

Colin glanced calmly at the excited Princess Vivian and suddenly thought that if the demons could exchange the princess's life for Luna Charles's, they could gain even more benefits.

The Demon King has many princesses and princes, but Duke Oswald only has one sister and one adult heir.

Once Luna dies, the day the decisive battle between humans and demons begins will be the day the Northern Territory is destroyed. This is because the demons can keep Oswald on the front lines, and those with ambitions will surely rebel if they don't rebel within a year!

This is the most basic logic of politics: to defeat a great hero and destroy a powerful regime, often all that is needed is to get rid of his successor.

"Heavy cavalry advance, light cavalry flank, and my personal guards follow me into the enemy ranks. I will personally behead that demon general!"

Luna gave the order on the spot, and before Colin could figure out how to use the princess to set a trap, the human knights suddenly changed formation, and a battle-hardened cavalry mixed with dwarves charged straight toward his location.

The two massive cavalry units ignited a fierce battle the moment they made contact. In the blink of an eye, amidst the countless sparks from the clash of swords and spears, layers of collapsed corpses and torrents of blood heralded the start of the brutal battle.

The bloody night has returned, and the powerful legions symbolizing the pinnacle of the world, like two enormous beasts, are locked in a fierce struggle.

The horses' hooves were frantic, arrows whistled in our ears, and the sound of flesh and steel clashing against each other pierced our brains. The trembling of flesh and weapons ignited battle cries that rose and fell on the surging torrent.

On the carriage behind the knights, Jenny turned her holy staff, and intricate magical runes spread along the trembling earth, transforming into warm currents that flowed into the soldiers' bodies.

"Damn it, when did humanity gain control of this power?!"

The human cavalry unleashed their speed a second time, their spears slicing through the enemy lines with a sharp, cold glint. They moved in unison, relying on the aura of their combined power to carve out gaps in the demon cavalry's lines.

Colin gritted his teeth as another group of dwarven ram cavalrymen, known for their high mobility, swiftly broke into the battle formation.

One after another, the broken-legged warhorses fell to the ground, making Colin's brow twitch. Even though the goddess had bestowed more power upon the demons, Colin was certain that the dwarves were high-quality warriors despite their height disadvantage.

Luna's personal guards waved battle flags and then blew long horns. Light cavalry, which were constantly rushing and circling on the side, broke away from the demons' split forces and charged forward, unleashing wave after wave of arrows in the direction the dwarves were advancing.

The winds of death howled, dense blood blossoms bloomed, and warhorses let out their dying neighs. Now Colin could see clearly that the young lady opposite him was coming for him.

The dwarf, wielding an axe in one hand and a hammer in the other, relied on the Iron Ram's powerful dash and agile turning ability to become Luna's most trusted offensive spearhead.

They darted through the chaos, using the large horns of the argali sheep to clear a path, then hacking at the hooves of the demon cavalry one by one. Once the demon cavalrymen fell, they used warhammers weighing over ten kilograms to smash their heads.

Occasionally, demon cavalry would launch attacks on the dwarves, but they would either dodge them quickly or be stopped in time by other human soldiers behind them.

However, the dwarves soon discovered that the demons' targets were only humans. As long as the young lady's personal guards kept close behind them, even if the two sides tumbled off their horses and fought on the ground, they would never give the dwarves a second glance.

After discovering the enemy's strategic intentions, Colin quickly mobilized troops from the rear, who poured into the breach and blocked the dwarves' continued advance.

Luna Charles's light blue hair also came into Colin's view; the two were now only about two hundred meters apart.

However, Colin was more concerned about the outcome of the battle between heavy cavalry than the decapitation strike. Opportunities in cavalry battles are always fleeting, and Luna was also protected by a strong personal guard. Acting rashly might give the enemy an opening.

Moreover, he believed that their beautiful princess would not tolerate such insulting neglect.

With a snap, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield. The complex magic circle shattered into shimmering pieces of magic power, which dissipated in the wind.

The power of the magic circle suddenly dropped, and in the brief moment of panic among the human soldiers, Vivian, who had been holding back for a long time, led her troops and rushed towards Luna's location.

Luna exclaimed in surprise. She quickly turned to look at Jenny, but only saw countless light spears shooting out from behind the group.

Before she could be distracted, several hidden crossbow bolts pierced the air. Her adjutant and the female soldier blocked two of them for her, while Luna dodged the remaining three by flipping over. A sudden hurricane also descended upon the battlefield.

The crossbowmen's next attack was interrupted by the storm, while cavalry, constantly being mobilized, attacked from all directions.

The guards roared and charged out, responding to the demons' arrogance with their blood, while Luna's icy gaze also focused on Vivian.

"Advance," she commanded softly, as if stating a fact. "Kill that purple-skinned princess."
