Luo Ya asked, "So, what are you planning to do?"
Alice raised an eyebrow and said, "What else can we do? If we send all the teachers to the school gate, there will be no one to protect the students and the school's important secrets if other magical beasts break in. So, we, the Wind King Knights, have to go."
Alice's two lackeys tugged at her sleeve. Alice glanced at Roya and said goodbye, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving now. If you're willing to help, go to the academy and inform the students that if we can't hold the gates, you should let them take refuge! I'll explain the rest to you tonight."
Then he hurriedly walked towards the gate.
Roya had no intention of following. Alice's strength was quite good; if it were just an ordinary magical beast, it probably wouldn't be a match for Alice.
With that in mind, Roya naturally began to stroll around.
Roya doesn't want trouble, but trouble always seems to find him.
Inside the office, Grevas glanced at Roya and Esther standing to the side, took a sip of tea, and said, "You seem quite relaxed."
Roya casually remarked, "If it were just a mere magical beast, it couldn't possibly have taken over the academy."
Grevas shrugged, leaning casually back in her chair, her gray eyes flashing with an inscrutable meaning, her glasses gleaming in the sunlight.
"If it were just a mere magical beast, it wouldn't have the ability to conquer this academy that specializes in training elf warriors and is home to teachers whose strength rivals that of the Imperial Elf Knights."
"However, this does not mean that these little girls from the Wind King Knights can handle them."
Grevas's lack of confidence in Alice surprised Roja somewhat.
Roya asked curiously, "Is the academy frequently attacked?"
Grevas explained, "It's not that often. In the past, a few monsters that had strayed from the Elf Forest and gone berserk would wander into the academy. After all, our academy is located in the Elf Forest, so it's normal for it to be attacked by monsters. After all, the monsters in the Elf Forest usually come through the gate from the Elemental Elf Realm. But such a large number of monsters seems more like someone is leading them from behind."
"After all, a single magical beast cannot pose a threat; the Wind King Knights can easily handle it."
With such straightforward words, Roya instantly understood Grevas's meaning.
At the same time, Roya also remembered something. Roya said to Grevas, "I saw a girl with black wings before. She was very strong and gave me a very unfriendly feeling."
Grevas pondered for a moment. The information Roya had revealed was too little; it was impossible to make any judgments from such a small amount. However, since Roya claimed that Grevas was very strong, it was worth considering.
"It turns out it's her."
Suddenly, Grevas narrowed her eyes, a wicked smile creeping onto her lips.
Seeing Grevas's expression, Roya felt a chill run down his spine.
This witch is definitely thinking something bad, and judging from her expression, she must have noticed that person as well.
Luo Ya didn't say much, and simply asked, "So, do you need me to take action?"
Grevas nodded and said, "Go help them, otherwise I have a feeling something might go wrong."
So, Roya was sent on a mission.
Watching Roya's departing figure, Grevas murmured, "Restia Ashudol, what do you want to do?"
By the time Roya arrived at the academy gate, the situation had become extremely precarious.
One after another, bizarre-looking monsters, some as large as dinosaurs, roared and howled at the academy gates before ramming them with their bodies.
A faint halo of light emanated from the academy's gates, rippling outwards and keeping all the giant beasts at bay.
Roya looked around and saw an elf dressed in a knight's uniform stretching out his hands toward the door, his hands radiating a bright light, like phosphorescence, which, though not bright, flickered continuously.
The divine power emanating from the girls continuously flowed into the gate, causing the fireflies to gather and provide a constant source of energy.
That thin layer of light was a barrier created by the elf envoys of the Wind King Knights using elven magic.
However, it was clear that this faint halo was not enough to support the gate and withstand the attack of these monsters.
Roya looked around and found Alice, who was struggling to hold on.
At the head of the Wind King Knights, Alice also stretched out a hand, continuously pouring divine power into the barrier. Compared to the faint phosphorescence of others, Alice's light was much brighter, but her face was covered in sweat.
Chapter 202 Curry Stick
Alice was in a bad situation, or rather, everyone present was in a bad situation.
A passive defense will eventually exhaust all divine power, allowing the monsters to breach the gate and attack the academy.
Alice also realized this, but the monsters had already attacked, and there had to be enough divine power to defend against them, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable once the monsters broke through the barrier.
Because all manpower is focused on defense to stop the monster horde's attack, the Wind King Knights have no other manpower to fight the monsters and can only passively endure their attacks.
Thinking about this, Alice couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
If things continue like this, defeat is inevitable.
Now someone has to step forward, and the only one who can do that is Alice, the leader of the Knights.
Gritting her teeth, Alice said to the people behind her, "I'm going to hunt down the monsters. You guys hold them off here!"
The other knights were shocked, their faces filled with fear. Those around her tried to stop Alice, but she had already rushed towards the barrier, heading towards the location of the monster.
"Captain!"
Roya looked around at the magical beasts. Those huge magical beasts were not that difficult to deal with, but what he meant by difficult to deal with was their huge size. Their huge size brought them great strength, but they also lost their agility. If there were only one or two of them, Alice could easily deal with them one by one with her agility.
There were more than a dozen magical beasts attacking from the direction of the Elf Forest. Even on the main battlefield, only an Elf Knight of the Twelve Riders level would be able to charge into such a horde alone and defeat so many magical beasts.
Although Alice's strength is considerable, even comparable to those regular elven knights, she is still far from reaching the level of the [Twelve Knights].
Her irrational rush towards the front lines was practically suicidal.
However, given the current situation, if Alice doesn't step forward, then truly no one else will.
Luo Ya didn't make a move, but stood aside and watched with great interest.
Esther, standing behind him, asked, "Master, shall we make a move?"
Roya smiled and shook his head, saying to Esther, "No rush, let's wait and see Alice's strength."
Esther remained silent and continued to watch the battle unfold.
——————————————————————————————————————————————
With her longsword drawn, Alice stood coldly at the intersection of the barrier and the magical beast. A faint divine aura emanated from Alice, enveloping the longsword along her right arm.
Of course, Alice's methods couldn't be like Roya's, where she could directly annihilate these magical beasts with her sword skills. After all, Alice's profession was still that of an elf.
"Come forth! Wind Sprite—Smurf!"
The girl's resounding voice echoed in front of the gate, accompanied by violent fluctuations of divine power energy. Gale winds gathered continuously, eventually forming a creature resembling an eagle in front of Alice.
This was clearly a high-ranking elf as well.
And its name is Smoker.
Smoloff spread his wings, his overall greenish-blue plumage slowly unfolding. The eagle was quite large and looked rather robust, making him quite appealing in appearance alone.
The eagle named Smoffer let out a loud cry, and like an arrow, it swooped down into the sky, leaping down and becoming a blur as it shot down from mid-air.
At the same time, Alice began to chant: "————O fierce winds————"
"—Give me the demonic spear that pierces the heart of my nemesis—"
Smolder fell from the sky, transforming into a whirlwind that appeared in Alice's left hand.
The winds kept gathering, eventually revealing the shape within.
This is a long spear, a very cool-looking long spear.
Alice felt the force emanating from the spear, her expression hardening. She sheathed her sword, gripped the spear with both hands, let out a low shout, and thrust the spear forward.
Just as Roya was completely bewildered, a sudden gust of wind appeared without warning. The powerful wind gathered together and swept towards the direction Alice's spear was pointing with overwhelming force, attacking forward like a tidal wave.
The enormous monster was hindered by the gusts of wind, its massive body swaying precariously, seemingly about to collapse to the ground at any moment.
Alice didn't stop. Standing at the academy gate, she brandished her spear once more and cried out, "O winds of calamity, transform into countless blades and sever my enemies—"
Wind blades, seemingly appearing out of thin air, slashed at the monster's body from all directions with remarkable effect. The wind blades easily tore through the monster's scales and pierced its torso.
But compared to the monster's enormous body, these injuries were like a scratch on the finger, utterly ineffective, and Alice's actions would only provoke the monster.
The monster roared in pain, its fury shifting its target to the tiny human before it. It unleashed a massive claw that blotted out the sky, sweeping swiftly toward Alice's location.
Feeling the howling wind, Alice paused, but her hands didn't stop moving. The girl continued chanting, "Wind, blow—"
A gust of wind gathered around Alice, allowing her to fly into the air. Alice manipulated this airflow and blasted backward.
However, at that moment, a snake-like creature suddenly attacked, its enormous tail whipping wildly from Alice's side. The force of the tail was immense, and the air seemed to groan under its strain. It all happened so fast that by the time Alice reacted, she was already unable to respond.
"Bam—"
The snake's tail slammed into Alice with a loud thud, sending her plummeting to the ground like a kite with a broken string. Dust billowed up as Alice lay sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.
Seeing this, the surrounding trainees were filled with sorrow and cried out in unison, "Commander!"
Alice, lying on the ground, coughed a few times, staring blankly at the blond boy in front of her, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Roya, is that you?"
Roya reached out and pulled Alice up, saying somewhat speechlessly, "You're really reckless. This is clearly a situation you can't handle."
Even the usually stubborn Alice remained silent. Recalling the scene just now, Alice felt a lingering fear.
If that level of attack had hit her directly, she would have been bedridden for a while, even if she hadn't died.
Fortunately, Roya intervened at the crucial moment and blocked the attack; otherwise, Alice might be lying on the ground, barely alive.
The ferocious giant snake opened its crimson pupils, turned its gaze toward Roya, flicked its tongue, and made a low, hoarse hiss. Roya clenched his fist; he had just gone up and punched the snake in the tail, which stopped its attack.
