A moment later, just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly lively.
Dressed in military uniform, with a curved sword at his waist.
The dashing Maya walked slowly over, her long, beautiful legs swaying gracefully.
The moment it appeared, everyone subconsciously lowered their voices.
They were afraid of accidentally offending the other party and getting stabbed.
When that happens, their leader won't stand up for them.
Even if you die, it's all for nothing!
Ignoring the soldiers, Maya slowly walked behind the parapet.
She frowned slightly as she watched the menacing cavalry approaching below.
She just communicated with Claudia via magic ball yesterday, so she shouldn't have arrived so quickly.
{Could they be demon soldiers in disguise? But they don't seem like it...}
A distance of several miles is covered in just a few minutes by a full-force charge of cavalry.
A few minutes later, below the fourth fortress.
He yanked the reins sharply, and his warhorse reared up high.
Claudia, clad in bright armor, gazes at the Maya on the city wall.
With a smile playing on her lips, she said in a crisp voice, "Maya, long time no see!"
Familiar faces, familiar voices, and behind them, a disciplined order of knights.
Maya's initial doubts were largely dispelled.
0 ........0
However, with a last shred of caution, she asked in a low voice.
"Claudia, didn't you say you'd be arriving in a day or two? Why are you here so early?!"
"After our conversation yesterday, Grand Duke Graf sent us the latest instructions."
"Let me join you as soon as possible so we can eliminate the demons and rescue the people of the three fortresses from the inferno."
"I spared no effort and traveled all night for this purpose."
Hearing this explanation, and seeing the dew clinging to the knights' armor...
The last vestige of wariness in Maya's heart gradually dissipated.
Yesterday's communication via the Magic Ball was a secret known only to her and Claudia.
Since the other party has pointed this out, it is sufficient to prove their identity.
It couldn't possibly be that someone stormed into the army camp and captured Claudia.
After forcing her to confess these things, we'll impersonate her and trick her into opening the city gate.
Are you kidding me? !
That is the guardian of the Elf Goddess, the sharpest sword of the Seven Shields Alliance.
How could mere demons possibly be their match?
Even if Maya jumped off the fortress, even if she was captured by the demon and brutally defeated in the animation.
I would never believe such an absurd thing.
The next moment, Maya waved her hand lightly, her voice clear and melodious like a nightingale singing in a valley.
"Open the gate and let the brothers of the Royal Guard come in and rest."
As she gave the command, accompanied by a teeth-grinding creak, the heavy door was slowly opened...
Chapter 123 The Captured Maya
On the walls of the fourth fortress, one could see the disciplined Royal Guard below.
A thin young man slowly walked up to Walter's side.
"Commander, something seems amiss."
Before Walter could speak, another one-eyed burly man waved his hand dismissively.
“What’s wrong with that? Does anyone dare to impersonate the Royal Guard? Hicks, you’re making a big fuss over nothing.”
"Better safe than sorry. What do you know, you muscle-bound bastard?"
"What? Are you saying I'm brainless? Want to have a go at me?!"
"you..."
Seeing the two of them start fighting amongst themselves again, Walter's face darkened, and he let out a low, angry roar.
"enough!"
As his voice fell, the two who had been at loggerheads shrank back and acted like quails.
Ignoring the other person, Walter placed his hands on the parapet wall.
He watched the approaching knights with a furrowed brow.
He also felt that there was something strange about this group of people, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
As he was pondering this, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of someone in the rear of the army who had inadvertently revealed their true colors.
Upon seeing this, Walter's pupils suddenly contracted.
After rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar.
Without hesitation, he shouted loudly.
"They are demons in disguise! Close the door! Close the door now!"
The sudden turn of events drew the attention of everyone around, including Maya.
Maya frowned slightly as she looked at the unknown mercenary leader in front of her.
Just as I was about to say something, a thunderous rumble of hooves suddenly rang out.
Maya's body jolted, and she quickly looked down at the city.
The Royal Guard Knights charged straight toward the city gate like a sharp sword.
This fighting stance clearly indicates that the opponent has ill intentions.
Without time to investigate the reason, Maya hurriedly ordered the door to be closed.
"Close the door! Close the door!"
As the command was given, the heavy door, which was already two-thirds open, slowly closed.
At the very front of the knights, Claudia gallops on her horse.
Seeing this, he lightly leaped from his horse and galloped toward the city gate.
The demon sword Muramasa was drawn, and an iaido slash was unleashed.
A blade of energy, several meters long, swept across, instantly cleaving twenty or thirty mercenaries in two.
This unexpected turn of events caused the city gates to close momentarily to a halt.
Upon seeing this, the demon servants, who had already regained their original forms, all shot towards him.
After occupying the city gate, they slaughtered like tigers among sheep.
Upon seeing this, Maya felt her head buzzing.
She never expected that these reinforcements were actually demons in disguise.
What about Claudia?
What about the Royal Guard?
Just as Maya was in a state of utter confusion, Saeko Busujima, dressed in a long black dress, appeared like a cold and beautiful black rose.
Holding the demon sword Muramasa, he approached her.
"Surrender, you've already lost!"
Upon hearing this, Maya's anger was completely ignited.
Staring intently at the demon who had deceived her, her eyes blazing with fury, she drew the curved sword from her waist.
With a heavy stomp of his right foot, he charged towards Saeko Busujima like a cannonball.
"Damn demon, die!"
On the other side, facing the pink fist hurtling towards him, Walter cursed angrily in a deep voice.
"Damn it!"
Having said that, he drew the greatsword from his back and swung it at the man.
However, the scene he imagined of cleanly and swiftly beheading the other party did not happen.
On the contrary, he was shaken so badly that he was forced to take several steps back.
Feeling the immense force emanating from the greatsword, and hearing its mournful cry.
Walter's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.
"How can this be?!"
It should be noted that he had previously received the inheritance of the God of Desire in the secret realm, and his strength had already broken through his own limitations.
He was not afraid at all, even when facing the Maya.
But now, he has been so cleanly and decisively defeated.
There were several hundred people present who were of similar strength to their opponents.
Walter was shocked, however, as there were no demon servants.
As a qualified weapon of war, she will faithfully carry out all tasks assigned by her master.
So she immediately swung her fist at him again.
