It was destined to be a restless night for Fortress City Gibson tonight. Under the light of the flames, the chaotic city was filled with warriors battling. This scene seemed like the apocalypse.
The skeleton soldiers who had parachuted down were currently attacking the city gates, and the Bearman soldiers stationed there were desperately resisting. Once the gates fell and were opened by the Demon King Coalition forces, all the soldiers within the city would be finished.
The Bearman garrison stationed in Fortress City Gibson had less than a million soldiers. Including the Dark Human Army that was helping in defending the city, their total numbers didn’t exceed two million. On the other hand, the total number of Demon King Coalition forces besieging the city, was over six million. Once they entered the city, it was just a matter of time before the Demon King Coalition defeated the defenders of the city with their “Sea of Humans” tactic.
After crossing the frozen River Selma, the Demon King Coalition forces began moving all sorts of siege equipment across the river. They couldn’t wait for the parachute team on the inside. If the troops inside the city had failed, they had planned to force the door open using all means necessary.
“Did I do something wrong?! Mistress Maureen... I helped the Demon King Coalition! Have I fallen?”
“Serna... how am I supposed to answer you?! We’re both her captives now. Forget it. Anyways, there isn’t a direct conflict between my position as God and the Demon King’s camp. It’s alright for the time being.”
On the northern bank of the River Selma, the second generation Death God Maureen and the second-generation Water Goddess Serna had rather complex emotions. They looked at the burning Fortress City Gibson, that was on the south of the River Selma, being lost in thought.
This was the first time for the God Race to assist a Demon King in battle. In the past, they would have been condemned as traitors in the judiciary court of the Gods and tossed into heaven’s prison. The God Race had never assisted Demon King throughout history.
However, now that the God World no longer existed, no one came to punish Maureen and Serna for their “betrayal.” Was there still a need to stick to their faith?! Maureen and Serna didn’t speak about it. Their hearts had been shaken, but it was hard to admit it.
Behind the two goddesses, Succubus Queen Aisha was sitting on a chair with her beautiful eyes slightly closed, just like a queen. She was responsible for monitoring the movements of the two goddesses. Maureen and Serna were afraid of the Succubus Queen and didn’t dare to mess around in front of her.
At the edge of the city walls of Fortress City Gibson, Dark Princess Murphina had caught up to Bella. She had no choice. She wasn’t as familiar with the way as Murphina. Just as she was about to enter the city gates, she was stopped by Princess Murphina.
“Hey... Big sister, I know I’m very attractive and have many pursuers, but you don’t have to be so enthusiastic! You chased me all the way here. I...”
“Don’t... don’t get me wrong! What do you mean by chasing?! I don’t like girls. Don’t make it sound so ambiguous, okay? I really don’t know how what kind of Holy Knight you are. You can even speak the language of us Dark Humans.”
Princess Murphina was still wearing her sexy dragon scale armor, with large areas of her fair skin being exposed. Now, Bella had the time to take a closer look at this beautiful and glamorous black-haired female knight.
Murphina’s strength was superior compared to Princess Erica and Princess Elsa. Bella figured that she wouldn’t be able to take down this beauty using her own force alone. She didn’t even have the slightly frail physique of a mage. It was difficult to have her way with a knight forcefully.
“What are you looking at? I have never seen such a strange Holy Knight like you. Die!”
“Honorable Princess... let’s talk things out if you have something to say!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Bella look at her with a strange gaze, Princess Murphina felt very uncomfortable. She didn’t like the aggression in her eyes. It was as if she could see through her.
She waved her demonic sword, the “Eyes of Darkness,” and looked at Bella again. The “Eye of Darkness” was a famous demonic sword. There was a dark red demon eye, that seemed alive, embedded in the middle of the hilt.
A dark red light shot towards Bella. Seeing that the situation seemed wrong, Bella instinctively dodged aside, avoiding the dark red shock wave from the sword.
The row of wooden houses behind Bella wasn’t so fortunate. Together with the heavy Bearman infantry stationed there who were watching the bustle, they turned into stone figures.
Petrifaction? It was a very close call. Bella had almost lost her life. When she looked at Murphina this time, there was a little less sarcastic laughter in her eyes and more caution.
“I didn’t think you were quick-witted. Wait... why are you running again? You rascal, why are you running...”
Princess Murphina was about to praise Bella for her keenness, but this shameless Holy Knight turned and ran away again. Was she a knight or an assassin? She honestly suspected that this beautiful blonde human girl had the wrong job. She should be an assassin and a thief.
Since Darkness Wizard God Kenneth had disappeared to who knows where, the air ban magic hadn’t been removed, and Demonic Dragon Knight Murphina couldn’t summon her mount, Demonic Dragon Kozmo. There was no point in summoning her mount if it couldn’t fly.
Murphina secretly cursed Kenneth for being a useless teammate and causing her such trouble. She really wondered if this guy was a “double agent” for being able to think of such a self-damaging strategy.
Although Murphina could catch up to Bella by running, she had another problem, that is, she was wearing heavy armor and was carrying more weight than Bella. After chasing her for a while, it would definitely be more physically consuming for her.
However, owing to her dignity as a Demonic Dragon Knight, Princess Murphina was unwilling to give up her pursuit of Bella. This was how she did things. Without her noticing, Murphina had started to follow Bella’s rhythm. She hadn’t even realized that she was dancing along to Bella’s rhythm.
In the Bearman King’s palace in the central area of Fortress City Gibson, Terror Demon King Griffin was currently in the center of the summoning ceremony array, gradually turning from an illusory state into his real being. Darkness Wizard God Kenneth was holding up the Scepter of the Underworld as he summoned the Demon King.
Bear King Peterus and Beastman Emperor Beamon Webster were standing far away from the magic array of the summoning ceremony. The formidable deterrent force of Terror Demon King Griffin made them too afraid to go forward and bow before him.
“Honorable Demon King, I hope that you can help me in this war.”
“You fools, you can’t even handle this mess. My real body isn’t here yet. I will use my surrogate to help you. Go and prepare the sacrificial Beastmen.”
“Thank you, Honorable Demon King, for your support!”
Great Wizard Kenneth quickly left the summoning magic array with relief. Bear King Peterus and Beastman Emperor Beamon Webster left with him.
“Master Kenneth, what did he say? What sacrifice does the Demon King want?”
“Quickly prepare ten thousand strong Beastman soldiers as the sacrifice. The Honorable Demon King is going to summon his own giant surrogate. At the time, crushing these foreign demons will be a cinch.”
“But... I don’t have... that many soldiers.”
“Peterus, quickly do as Master Kenneth says. Don’t hesitate. I will make those Bearman soldiers Beamon warriors in the name of the Beastman Emperor.”
“Okay, I understand, Your Majesty.”
Seeing that Bear King Peterus was still hesitating, Beastman Emperor Beamon Webster quickly promised to deal with the aftermath. However, it didn’t matter if they sacrificed some Beastmen. As long as he was able to obtain the final victory, the Beastman Emperor thought it was worth it.
Somewhere near the city walls of Fortress City Gibson, Bella was still playing hide-and-seek with Dark Princess, Demonic Dragon Knight Murphina. Along the way, many wooden huts and innocent Bearman soldiers had been turned into stone figures by Murphina’s demonic sword, “Demon’s Eye.”
“Damn you, why are you running? Can’t you openly fight a battle with me?! I’m going to report to the President of the Knights’ Union of the Octavia Empire. You don’t deserve to be a Holy Knight...”
“Go ahead, Princess. If I really am disqualified, then I’ve lost.”
Bella’s shameless tactics made Princess Murphina flustered, and she was unable to keep her cool image any longer. In the process of chasing, she tripped over Bella’s little traps several times. The originally gorgeous Demonic Dragon armor was now covered with dust.
Finally, after the last time she stumbled, Princess Murphina simply sat on the ground, not getting up. Her demonic sword, “Demon’s Eye,” was pierced into the nearby muddy ground and sat there. Tears of injustice streamed down Princess Murphina’s originally haughty face.
This scene caught Bella off guard. This glamorous Demonic Dragon Knight actually had a soft side. It seemed that she had gone too far. It was unprecedented for anyone to make a Demonic Dragon Knight, who had never lost so far and were called legends in the Dark Human Empire, cry.
“Don’t cry anymore. I’ll be dead if your boyfriend sees you like this.”
“I’ll cry if I want to. It’s none of your business! You’re such a meanie. It’s really a waste of your talent if you don’t become a thief. Also, I don’t have a boyfriend, so don’t make things up...”
Bella came behind Murphina and gently patted her shoulders to comfort her. She also took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. After hearing that Princess Murphina didn’t have a boyfriend, a glimmer of excitement flashed past Bella’s golden eyes.
The Bearman heavy infantry, who had fallen into a state of collective petrification and were not watching them, stared in shock. What was going on? The Demonic Dragon Knight and Holy Knight had their arms around each other’s shoulders and were chatting with each other like close friends.
Unfortunately, this envy-inducing scene that toppled their beliefs didn’t have any witnesses who could spread words about it. Murphina’s demonic sword, “Demon’s Eye,” that was pierced into the ground suddenly issued a dark red light that spread all around, turning the Bearman heavy infantry who were watching this scene into stone.
“Hmph, can you tell me your name?! You are the first opponent who that I, Demonic Dragon Knight Murphina, has fought for so long yet failed to defeat.”
“I am Holy Knight Bella, an unknown Holy Knight, your royal highness Princess Murphina. You look magnificent now, so stop frowning lest you get wrinkles!”
“It’s none of your business! Meanie! After meeting you, I feel all weird! You can call me Murphina. It looks like we won’t be able to declare a winner tonight.”
With Bella’s help, Murphina stood up and looked at the gates that were about to fall in the distance. She knew that it was only a matter of time before Fortress City Gibson fell. It was time to retreat. She wasn’t as crazy as Kenneth. Once she knew that it was a hopeless situation, she wouldn’t stay to die for the Beastmen.
Murphina took out a delicate black dragon dagger from a small bag within her Demonic Dragon armor and handed it to Bella. This dagger had the same meaning as the dagger of the Octavia Empire’s royal family. It was a symbol of the power of the Dark Empire’s royal family.
“This is... Murphina, I’m really not an assassin. Why are you giving me this dagger?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Take it. After we’ve conquered the Human Continent, take this to the palace to look for me! I will appoint you as the captain of my guards. You are much stronger than those men.”
“Also, you need to leave quickly. I don’t know how you got here, but with your Holy Knight identity, both sides will hunt you down. Take this dagger to the southwest gate. The guards stationed there are my people. They will let you out.”
“Holy Knight Bella, next time I must defeat you! Don’t you dare die here. You’re not allowed to mention today’s incident to anyone else. If others find out about this, you will die.”
Demonic Dragon Knight Murphina turned to leave and disappeared in the dark streets. Before she left, she had used a very gentle tone when advising Bella to leave. She repeatedly threatened Bella not to mention to others the fact that Bella had turned her into such a sorry state. If such a shameful matter were to be known by others, her dignity as Demonic Dragon Knight and Dark Princess would be lost.
Until the last moment, she had regarded Bella as a third-party Holy Knight. She had never expected Bella to be the boss behind the opposing Demon King Coalition. If she had known, they might have fought to the death. There was no way she would have left it like that.
Bella would never refuse gifts from other beautiful girls. This Demonic Dragon Knight was fascinating. As for their conquest for the Human Continent, that was impossible. The “waters” in the Human Continent ran too deep.
Bella was about to pack up the demonic dragon dagger when a petite figure came running towards Bella from afar. She stumbled and fell down several times along the way, struggling to get up and continue running. From the light of the flames burning the wooden houses in the city, Bella could roughly see that this petite figure belonged to a girl.
It was a black-haired loli with two ponytails, dark red eyes, and a pair of little illegal “fruits” on her chest. No matter how she looked at the girl, she was in line with Bella’s tastes.
What made it hard for Bella to look away was the fact that the loli was running naked. The lolis nowadays were getting bolder and bolder. She actually dared to take the lead in such a shameful activity like streaking.
After seeing Bella, who was dressed as a Holy Knight, the loli hesitated for a moment until she saw that Bella was holding the demonic dragon dagger that Princess Murphina had just given her. The look of vigilance on her face disappeared for the most part, and she ran towards Bella.
As she drew closer, Bella saw something unusual. The loli wasn’t actually an exhibitionist. There were many pieces of black and red cloth, which should be the pieces of dark red Gothic loli clothing, left on her body. On the loli’s bare white skin, there were many traces of string indentations clearly visible.
“Holy Knight sister, help me. There’s a... crazy girl chasing me. Please save me. If you’ve helped Murphina, you should be friends with her. She’s coming...”
Dark Princess Gamora fell to the ground again before she could finish speaking. This time, Bella hugged her in time. The loli with black hair and two ponytails passed out in her arms.
Bella found countless marks on Gamora’s body that indicated that she had been tied and whipped by strings. Judging from the size of the marks, Bella figured that this was the masterpiece of her roommate, Puppet Master Elaine. Bella often borrowed her puppet strings and was rather clear on the width of those strings.
“The little girl is a Marionette Master! Could it have been a battle of professions, so Elaine had laid her hands on her a little too hard? These marks are much deeper than she’s used to.”
Bella found traces on Gamora’s hand that showed she had manipulated strings. Based on her previous experience with Elaine, she concluded that the little loli from the Dark Human Race was probably a Marionette Master.
A Marionette Master was similar to a Puppet Master. The difference was in the position of the strings in their hands. Based on the information that was known by insiders, Bella quickly deduced that Gamora’s occupation was a Marionette Master.
“Little sister, where have you been? How could you leave after turning me into such a sorry state? Come out now! I will give you a good lesson on her behalf.”
The crazy girl that Gamora had mentioned soon followed, but it didn’t sound like Elaine. Elaine’s voice wasn’t so seductive.
Bella took off her black knight’s robe and covered Marionette Master Gamora’s petite figure. She stood up in front of Gamora, hiding the Dark Princess with her tall figure.
“Holy Knight... You’re... you’re Bella. I almost forgot! It’s all because of that girl. I’m so mad!”
“Elaine... is that you? Why have your hair and eyes... changed?”
“Bella, forget about this first. Did you see a Marionette Master with black hair and two ponytails? I’m so pissed. I wanted to turn her into a puppet. She managed to force me out! If I don’t turn her into...”
