I, who was eager to retire, became an Imperial General.

Chapter 64 The Spear of the Empire
?

what's the situation?
Didn't Micah say that John Maslow was a man?
Why is it a woman negotiating with me?
Looking at the petite, silver-haired girl sitting at the negotiating table, even Serbia couldn't help but be taken aback.

However, she quickly suppressed her doubts and instead offered a warm and inviting smile. She then gave the unknown imperial female officer a graceful curtsy, her voice gentle and melodious:
"My lord, I am Lilia Hardman. I have come to discuss the surrender with you on the orders of my father, Baron Hardman."

Time ticked by, but the scene Serbia had anticipated—the female officer opposite him indicating that she understood and inviting him to sit down for a talk—did not occur.

Instead, there was only silence and deathly stillness.

The other person's emerald-green eyes gazed at her silently, and his beautiful face remained completely unmoved.

It was as if the person sitting there was not a living human being, but an exquisite doll devoid of any emotion.

What is this woman up to?

Serbia couldn't help but frown, his mind filled with doubt and confusion.

She believed that her etiquette was impeccable, so why was the other party not responding to her?

Is this a show of force?
Just as Serbia was hesitating whether to get up and take his seat to ask the other side if they were willing to accept the surrender of the town of Bahamut.

The next second, the other person's voice slowly entered her ears:

"Take off your hat, right now!"

Take off your hat?
No, what on earth is this imperial dog up to?

Serbia felt even more confused, but after sensing the other person's inexplicably cold gaze, he realized that the other person didn't seem to be joking with him.

Despite being treated so arrogantly by an imperial dog, Serbia was extremely unhappy.

But she suppressed her anger and forced a stiff smile as she reached for her hat, looking at the damned imperial female soldier in front of her with a forced smile. In her heart, she had already sentenced this imperial dog who was deliberately making things difficult for her to death.

"Sir, may I ask if I can..."

Serbia slowly removed his top hat and asked the other person a question.

However, before she could finish speaking, a sudden burst of murderous intent erupted, and then, in Serbia's constricted pupils...

A blade of extremely sharp, cold light rapidly magnified in her vision at an unprecedented speed.

It seems we've almost reached our limit.

Under this slash, even the sound of the wind was forced to cease amidst the bursting silver light.

"Stab!"

The sound of fabric being torn suddenly came from the center of the room.

Immediately afterward, to the astonishment of the imperial soldiers and guards, Leia, who had been sitting in a chair, appeared in front of Serbia as if by teleportation.

The sword in his hand was somehow enveloped by a silvery-white magical power, resembling a burning flame.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be discerned that those so-called 'white mists' are actually the annihilation effect produced when a large number of magical factors explode under the activation of a unique technique.

If it were an ordinary mage, let alone being covered by this white mist, even the slightest contact with it would completely disrupt the magic spells within their body under this terrifying power, turning them into a lamb with no ability to resist, easily slaughtered by the opponent!
However, what surprised everyone even more than Leia's sudden move was...

Despite her seemingly delicate and delicate appearance, Serbia not only reacted with lightning speed to dodge Leia's miraculous and fatal blow.

Most importantly, the other party's appearance has changed drastically.

Crimson scales, menacing horns, and a monstrous dragon tail that had appeared out of nowhere, covered in sharp spikes like a scorpion's barbs, now lashing out repeatedly. Combined with its furious, deep red, vertical pupils, everything spoke volumes!

The other party is a half-dragon!

Sure enough, I knew this guy was up to something.

Seeing the 'Allied Assassin' who should have been beheaded by her, but survived only with a wound to his right arm and was now half-lying on the ground, his true identity exposed, Leia immediately understood.

She had only suspected the other person because of their strange aura, but the moment she saw their red hair, she became suspicious.

Leia knew immediately that this guy was undoubtedly an Allied assassin.

After all, before she set off, Warrant Officer John had warned her to be careful of a red-haired woman who might appear in the town of Bahamut, hadn't he?
Sure enough, everything was going according to Warrant Officer John's plan. From now on, all I had to do was follow Warrant Officer John's orders and move forward without hesitation!

Realizing once again the greatness of Warrant Officer John, Leia made an unprecedented decision.

"What do you mean? Why did you suddenly attack me?"

Serbia, who had barely dodged the fatal blow by using his half-dragon transformation, looked extremely grim as he stared at the Imperial female soldier scrutinizing him.

At this moment, countless guesses arose in her mind:
Did their plan to assassinate John Maslow get exposed?
But if it were truly exposed, shouldn't the other side be dealing with Micah?
Why would they rashly attack me?

Could it be that Micah, that damned old bastard, after witnessing how difficult John Maslow was, wanted to betray him, so he secretly colluded with him to sacrifice himself as a sign of loyalty?
Damn it, can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!

The feeling that things were spiraling out of control left Serbia's thoughts in complete disarray.

But looking at Leia in front of her, who exuded a chilling aura, feeling the undisguised killing intent in her eyes, and seeing the deep, bone-revealing wound on her right arm that was bleeding profusely while also giving off a strange, corrosive feeling, she felt a sense of unease.

At that moment, Serbia clearly realized this.

She absolutely could not stay at this dangerous negotiation location any longer.

If she stays here any longer, death will be all that awaits her!
She needs to get away immediately!

"Whoosh!"

Thinking of this, Serbia hardened his heart and immediately unleashed all the magic power within him. With a leap, he shot towards the guards behind him like an arrow.

At the same time, before these people could react, he swiftly hurled these guards, whose identities were unknown, at the damned imperial female soldiers behind him, intending to use them to buy himself some time.

However, Leia didn't even glance at these 'Allied spies' flying towards her. Instead, she slowly raised the sword in her hand above her head and then, without hesitation, gathered all the magic power in her body into her arm in an instant.

"Buzz!"

As terrifying magic gathered in Leia's arm, the spell patterns etched deep in her skin became visible to the naked eye, constantly radiating a dazzling silver light, and the dissipating magical energy particles were like flying elves.

The silvery-white light continuously coiled around the blade, which was gradually glowing with ancient inscriptions. It began to expand and grow, forming huge spiral swords that seemed to overlap, causing the air to tremble.

Then, to the astonishment of countless onlookers, as Leia swung it toward the fleeing half-dragon, the moment it happened...

The spell, which countless people call a 'miracle' in magic, has been presented to the world again at this moment, twenty-three years after the fall of the previous 'Spear of the Empire'.

"Boom!"
