The only hope in everyone's mind was that they could hold out until evening and get some rest.

"Long live the Queen!"

With a hoarse roar, the middle-aged knight, whose body had been pierced by a spear, jumped down from the breach while carrying two enemy soldiers who had climbed the city wall. They crashed together onto the wasteland, their flesh and blood mingling together.

Anixid wiped the blood splattered on her face, her lips moved slightly, but her mind was blank, and she couldn't recall the knight's name for a moment.

Her Majesty the Queen only vaguely remembered that this was one of the knights she had personally appointed in her early days, an unremarkable old tenant farmer.

He gave him land, avenged his son, and he worked for him; that was all.

Like many of the lives lying here, they have few stories to tell and no remarkable legends to speak of.

"By the rule of Just Order, may the light be with you..."

Without blinking, Anixid swung her spear, piercing and knocking down a soldier who had climbed the city wall, and murmured to herself for some unknown reason.

Previously, she had always scoffed at the so-called theories of Just Order of the Queen Holy Kaisa and the legends of heaven.

But on this bloody battlefield, she suddenly wanted to believe in these ethereal things.

This shared paradise on the planet Freyja must exist!

Even if the angels cannot give them this, then I will take the throne, ascend the divine throne, and create all of this!

Anixid past a soldier, and at the same time swung her sword, cleaving the enemy soldier behind her in half, along with his spear shaft.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the city wall trembled violently, and stones the size of millstones were hurled by catapults pushed out by the army, smashing a bloody path through the wall.

At this moment, countless cracks, like a spider web, spread along the entire section of the city wall, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

Anixid's blood nearly froze for a moment; she knew perfectly well the condition of the three gods in the city.

Saving her life alone amidst the chaos of battle might still be within the realm of possibility.

But personally going into battle and slaughtering the enemy soldiers is not within their scope of duty.

Moreover, Kevin and his two companions were already at their limit, and the Southern Federation army also had a considerable number of Male Angel.

Debangxiongdu in turmoil, Frostleaf Port is closed, and now only Yordle City remains as an isolated fortress.

If she wants to gain the favor of Queen Holy Kaisa and create an earthly kingdom for the Freyja, she cannot retreat, much less lose!

"Southern Knights, those who can move! Charge with me!"

Anixid leaped onto her warhorse, brandishing her longsword to rally the scattered soldiers, preparing to open the city gates and launch a desperate charge.

Although it was clear that the group of cowardly Male Angel outside were likely waiting for her to walk right into their trap.

However, it is necessary to destroy the enemy's catapults and disperse the attack to give Yordle City time to repair its fortifications.

In just a few breaths, the battered army, with armor plates shattered and bloody wounds on every member, rapidly converged on Anixid's side.

The winch creaked and turned, and the heavy, metal-clad city gate was lowered.

The moment Anixid and her men launched their charge, a torrent of frost-blue water suddenly surged from the northern hills, cutting off the Southern Federation's catapult position from the side.

The lead rider, riding a frost-covered boar, charged left and right through the chaotic southern camp, smashing seven or eight catapults in succession.

Behind the woman wearing a horned helmet and holding a flail, a dark blue banner with frosty leaves fluttered in the wind.

Grand Duke of the North – Sejuani, the Wrath of Winter!

Reinforcements! It's reinforcements!

The Southern Knights had initially been filled with tragic heroism, were overjoyed to see the Federal Army's formation in disarray.

They charged forward with howls, joining forces with the renowned Frostclaw Cavalry of the North, relentlessly dividing and annihilating the Federation's forward positions.

The Southern Federation soldiers were caught off guard, and as they hastily assembled their troops to try and hold off the two converging cavalry forces, a deafening roar came from the other flank.

In an instant, barbarians dressed in animal skins and wielding crude weapons surged out from all over the mountains and plains.

Like locusts swarming across the border, they stripped the armor and blood-stained valuables of the wealthy southern soldiers they had killed, stuffing them into their own pockets, and even trying on their new boots with delighted expressions.

"Look at you guys, so pathetic! You kill people first, then steal the goods!"

The barbarian king, wearing a horned helmet and wielding a large sword, kicked aside his subordinate who was busy looting the loot box and roared in exasperation.

After receiving the urgent message from the Southern Knights in the Sanctuary, they had no choice but to travel by water along the food supply route in order to reach Yordle City as quickly as possible.

Damn it! This feeling of not having your feet touching the ground is absolutely awful. He stayed on the ship for a whole day and night, and he almost threw up his guts.

Now that we're finally standing on solid ground, we should kill a couple of people to celebrate since we're already here.

Barbarian King Snaif raised his sword, grinning maliciously.

"My greatsword is itching for a fight!"

Chapter 1006, Section 1051: When in doubt, Man Sandao

The Three Northern Tribes?!

They couldn't even hold off a bunch of barbarians, what a bunch of useless trash!

Inside the tent, Sumari listened to the trembling accounts of several human lords, his face grim, the armrests of his golden chair twisted and deformed.

Since the surprise attack last night failed, he was still unsure of the enemy's tactics in the city, so he chose to wear down the Southern Federation's human soldiers and keep putting pressure on Yordle City.

Next, even without catapults or similar weapons, he planned to send a Male Angel to destroy the walls of Yordle City.

In this way, the human target whose purpose is unclear, Anixid, will lead her soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy, disrupt the Southern Federation's formation, and gain a chance to regroup.

Therefore, on their home turf, they can use Anixid as bait to lure out Yordle City's true hidden strength.

Unexpectedly, before the war between gods even began, the human side, to which Anixid belonged, attracted the help of the barbarians from the North and the forces of Winter Fortress.

Sumari hesitated for a long time, then waved to summon a Male Angel behind him, somewhat suspicious.

"Kunpeng, are you sure there's more than one main god on the other side?"

The somewhat effeminate-looking Angel Warrior with eyeliner nodded solemnly.

"My lord! I can guarantee that part of Hexi's main force has already arrived in Yordle City! They are definitely waiting for us to take the bait!"

"I, Wang Hua Ye, specifically instructed that our mission is to stall Hexi and the others, so in order to lure the rest of them in as well, we absolutely cannot act rashly!"

At that moment, Night Owl, who was also involved in the operation, couldn't help but vouch for his comrade's words.

"My lord, think about it. We sent out twenty elite warriors, and after two or three waves, we lost five of them, while those two freaks on the other side didn't even get a scratch!"

"Both times, Laguer was badly injured and is still recovering."

"Now, you are the only one who can support the operation of the Angel Network and manipulate the Silver Blade Matrix."

Going again?! Last time we almost got burned in that small place, we're definitely turning it down this time.

After agreeing on their story, the two timid participants nodded knowingly.

Upon hearing this, Sumari's previously restless mind immediately calmed down.

That's right, the outcome here isn't the key; he doesn't need to take risks here.

Especially after Laguer, another of the Seven Archangels of Creation, suffered two defeats, this was enough to prove that the guys in Yordle City were not to be trifled with.

Of course, more importantly, there is no other choice now. If we want to confront the mysterious forces of Yordle City head-on, only he can take action himself.

Compared to these foreign angels, he, who had fled all the way from Earth, was more aware of how terrifying the people around Hexi were.

Back then, the massive Titan Star alliance entered Earth, but now they haven't even made a ripple, and they can't even be observed in the Solar System anymore.

Who knows how Hexi and the others got out of the Solar System?

Besides, it will take another two or three days for the Male Angel to arrive.

If they were to encounter those truly powerful and undefeated monsters, their small group wouldn't even be enough to fill their teeth.

Therefore, let the human soldiers explore the area first. After all, there are so many lower creatures here; if they die, so be it.

However, if they simply avoid battle, they will have a hard time explaining themselves to King Hua Ye.

Whether it's true or false, we have to fight with all our might.

Sumari narrowed his eyes slightly, silver light dancing at his fingertips.

"Initiate the establishment of a holographic battlefield view! Encryption algorithm!"

"Use the Silver Blade!"

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng and Night Owl were initially startled, but then breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called on the Angel Warrior scattered throughout the Southern Federation to log on.

He was just hiding in the crowd and launching a long-range attack on the other side; with so many people blocking his way, he wouldn't get hurt.

The group nodded in unison, forming a spiritual connection that resonated with each other. Dozens of silver streaks flew out of the tents and traversed the camps of the Three Northern Tribes.

At this moment, the Three Northern Tribes, having merged, destroyed catapults and camps along the way, and twice disrupted the enemy's formation. They intended to take advantage of the chaos to advance into the enemy's heartland.

However, a flash of cold silver light appeared, and hundreds of barbarian soldiers, caught up in the killing frenzy, exploded into pieces.

Immediately, those agile, fish-like Dark Silver Flying Knives, like precision-guided missiles, targeted and eliminated enemies near the camp.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of soldiers were blown to pieces by the high-speed flying Silver Blade.

Barbarian King Snaif, Queen Anixid, and Grand Sejuani of Grand Duke of Winter sensed something was wrong and their expressions changed. They quickly summoned their troops to retreat.

As the armies of the Southern Federation and the Northern Frontier separated, the silver throwing knives locked onto the three commanders, hurtling through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

"What's there to be afraid of! There's nothing I can't solve with one strike!"

The first Barbarian King Snaif, felt a chill run down his spine amidst the howling wind that sounded like ghosts wailing. To bolster his courage, he roared and swung his greatsword in a spinning slash.

One cut!

Relying on his instincts from hunting on the ice plains, Snaif barely sensed the landing point of the throwing knife. After exchanging a blow with it, he staggered back several steps, his blood churning.

No! Two cuts!

Damn it! That's the third cut!

"Bang!"

With three powerful strikes at his peak, Snaif's greatsword, made of an unknown material, shattered into pieces. A silver streak pierced through Snef's shoulder blade, throwing the tall, strong man away.

"Boom!"

Immediately, a flail with chains swept across, sending Sejuani and the boar beneath her flying far away, their hands bleeding from the gash.

"Then!"

The Grand Duke of the North pulled a longbow carved from ice crystals from the baggage of his boar, roared, and hurled it to Anixid on horseback.

Anixid instinctively threw away the broken knight's sword in her hand, took the ice crystal longbow, and aimed it at the silver light that was approaching in an instant.

As the fingertips moved, the runes on the bow instantly appeared, and four long arrows Ruo Shui, automatically gathered energy to form.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The moment the bowstring loosened, hundreds of magical arrows split off and met the silver light, exploding and shattering in mid-air in a dazzling display.

"Withdraw!"

Anixid's urgent growl roused the somewhat dazed soldiers, and the three Three Northern Tribes, now united, rushed toward Yordle City like a flowing river.

The silver beams that were being intercepted by the magic arrows suddenly accelerated, and the dozens of soldiers who fell behind were brutally dismembered.

The three leaders, who possessed special talents capable of barely holding off a wave of Silver Blade, stopped in unison and took the rear.

After killing the scattered soldiers, Dark Silver Flying Knife immediately formed an encirclement, closing in on Anixid two companions in a net-like formation.

Just then, the first seven Silver Blade fell into the swamp-like space, their connection abruptly severed.

Oh no! They actually managed to seize control of our Dark Silver weapons!

Sumari, who had lost one-fifth of his Dark Silver weapons in an instant, changed his expression drastically and immediately withdrew all his "cruise missiles" without thinking.

This is currently his only asset that allows him to contend with those female angels. If he loses it all, they will all have to go up empty-handed and test the sharpness of the Sword of Flames with their own bodies.

In that moment of hesitation, the Three Northern Tribes stormed into Yordle City without serious injury, narrowly escaping disaster.

P. S.: Nearing goal achieved.
