The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

As the scorching sun rose high overhead, siege equipment reached the hands of the nobles besieging the capital of Canosa.

Amidst the resounding calls of the beast horns, almost simultaneously, four nobles launched an attack on the royal city of Canosa!

At the same time, several small detachments were dispatched to disrupt the actions of other nobles.

Dust flew everywhere, and shouts of battle filled the air!

However, just as the flames of war were about to engulf the royal city, a dazzling beam of light shot out from the highest spire of the Canosa Palace, reaching straight into the sky!

Subsequently, a massive magic circle covered the entire territory of the royal city of Kanosa.

Countless patterns are spread throughout, shimmering and colorful.

Everyone looked up at the sky without prior arrangement.

That's a phenomenon that only occurs with magic of the eighth rank or higher!

In the royal city of Kanosa, there lived a powerful magician!

It is very likely that it has more than eight loops!

No one knows who this magician is, or why he appeared in the royal city.

However, everyone knows what magic of the eighth rank or higher means.

However, just as everyone was preparing to face the impact of the magic, the magic circle changed once again and extended outwards again!

The scope of the impact continues to expand!

Gradually, even some of the surrounding minor noble territories were covered.

Golden Plains, Sword Sheath Canyon, Stream Bay, Molde Wilderness, Drussy Mountains, Bioluminescent Bay...

Anselm City, Lavala City, Rubek Fortress, Miranda Assembly...

this moment.

The entire population of the Duchy of Ferrante was enveloped in the magic's influence.

Farmers, nobles, merchants, and homeless vagrants.

Soldiers in battle, refugees preparing to flee, and wives and children huddled at home, waiting for their husbands to return.

Regardless of social status, all beings are equal.

Such a vast-scale magic has never been seen before in history.

This is a spectacular sight that can only be found in the myths recorded by the Vatican.

And the one who manipulated this magic was none other than Ryan.

The vast and rapid influence of the light attribute, combined with the explosive power of the fire attribute, made the emergence of this magic possible.

As for the magical support, it was the powerful magic that Ryan had accumulated over four consecutive days and nights without sleep.

Fortunately, the magic he was about to unleash was not the kind of powerful offensive magic, nor was it the dimensional leap that Orina had used to teleport units; it was more about affecting perception.

Therefore, the amount of magic consumed is not large.

This is what causes such a phenomenon.

This magic, carrying with it the power to overturn everything, swept across the entire Duchy of Ferrante!

If, at this time, a wind-type element is responsible for transmitting energy, the area of ​​influence will expand even further.

However, this scope is sufficient now.

Looking at the pillar of light shooting straight into the sky and the magic circle that had spread to its limit, Ryan's face turned pale and he was covered in sweat.

His magic had been overdrawn countless times over the past four days, and now even his legs were feeling weak.

However, success is just one final step away.

Claire...

I have already set up the stage.

The rest is up to you.

Go ahead.

Marching Towards Glory!

Claire, as if sensing Ryan's thoughts, took the Duchy of Ferrante's battle flag from a minister beside her and then stepped onto the back of a sandworm outside the city wall.

Just as everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.

Claire's image appeared within the magical field of vision, before everyone's eyes.

Along with it appeared the battle flag that fluttered in the wind in her hand.

Ordinary people naturally didn't know who this pink-haired girl was. But the worldly nobles and high-ranking officials from other countries certainly recognized her.

"Citizens of the Duchy of Ferrante."

"I am Phoenix Claire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Duchy of Ferrante was in an uproar.

People were speculating why Claire, the child of the devil, who should have been banished, was here.

Is it to reclaim the Phoenix family's royal power?

The nobles were even more baffled.

Could a young girl who has just come of age really be so confident in upholding the throne?!

impossible!

Totally impossible!

No one could predict Claire's next move, but her appearance naturally brought about a certain kind of discourse.

That is the curse of the son of the devil.

The initial rumor was that Claire would bring disaster to the duchy.

The current turmoil is precisely a disaster.

Thus, the people, who had nowhere else to vent their anger, the soldiers who were forcibly dragged to the battlefield, and the nobles who were already hostile to Claire and the Phoenix family, all vented their negative emotions on the young girl who had just come of age.

"Claire!"

"You devil's child!"

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of this country!!!"

"The Duchy of Ferrante has no need of you!!!"

Many of these sounds naturally came from below the royal city of Canosa.

Claire stood on the sandworm's back, the sounds engulfing her like a tsunami.

However, Claire, who had already made up her mind, was not swayed by these voices.

She took a deep breath and then forcefully planted the battle flag in her hand among the scales of the sandworm.

"Now, my father has abdicated the throne, and the nation is in turmoil. To end this conflict that should never have existed, I, Phoenix Claire, on behalf of the Phoenix family, hereby declare!"

"The Phoenix family, from this moment forward, will completely relinquish its rule over the duchy!"

Chapter 151 That's Our Princess [4000+ words]

The voices, which had been filled with anger, fell silent abruptly as Claire announced her words.

The entire Duchy of Ferrante fell into a strange tranquility.

Even the soldiers who were about to charge froze in place, staring blankly at Claire's projection in front of them.

What...did she just say?

Should we voluntarily relinquish the Phoenix family's rule?

After their initial surprise, the nobles burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Claire, Claire! You are so wonderful!"

"They actually relinquished their rule!"

"That's great, I don't even need the excuse I had already prepared!"

A desire that had grown to its limit was revealed in Yaen's eyes as he pointed his longsword at the royal city of Kanosa.

"Soldiers! The time to attack has come!"

"Princess Claire has just officially announced that the Phoenix family will relinquish its rule over the country! Now is the perfect opportunity to make a name for ourselves!"

"Charge into the royal city! Seize the throne!"

Not only Yann, but also Linton and two other nobles simultaneously issued orders to attack.

At this moment, nobles and merchants throughout the Duchy of Ferrante also spread the news.

However, there was no need for them to make a special announcement again, because people all over the country had heard the news.

The public, who were just moments before enraged, suddenly extinguished their burning anger.

The vast majority of people were bewildered, while a small number of people, after regaining their senses, quickly raised their questions.

Claire has been expelled from the country, and in principle, she is no longer a citizen of the Duchy of Ferrante.

Her words were completely useless!

However, for the nobles, as long as they could acknowledge the legitimacy of the war, why bother with anything else!

Since Claire has already said so, why not take the opportunity to back down?

"Everyone!"

"Although we had some misunderstandings about Princess Claire in the past, those were just trivial rumors! They were slanders against her by malicious people! Claire is still a princess of the Phoenix family!"

"Her words are tantamount to the decrees of the Phoenix family!"
