Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

What she said came from the heart and was not just a compliment.

If Carlos had not shot her down into the forest and forced her to wander in the forest, she would not have come across the slave caravan, nor would she have been so kind as to rescue Beth from that hellish cage.

The series of events that follow may not be so natural. She will travel to various countries alone, and she may not even be able to discover the secret of the stone ball.

It can be said that it was the act of rescuing Beth that changed her entire journey in the other world and made her future bright.

Carlos was puzzled by her thanks, but she didn't ask any questions. After a long silence, Ando Meiko suddenly stretched out her right hand and said, "Give me your hand."

Carlos looked at Ando Meiko's pink and tender little hands, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his right hand to hold hers.

Suddenly she felt a powerful magical power coming from Ando Meiko's hands, rushing into her body like a galloping dragon chariot.

Carlos was frightened by this scene. Before she could say anything more, Ando Meiko had already withdrawn her hand and looked at her with a smile.

Then she seemed to realize something and concentrated her mind on herself. Even though she closed her eyes, Ando Meiko could still see the shocked expression on her face constantly changing.

She lifted up her clothes without hesitation to reveal her slightly muscular belly. The sword and magic wounds on it had all disappeared.

All the blocked magic circuits in the body were unblocked, and all the hidden and external injuries on the body were miraculously repaired. Even though Carlos was a knowledgeable legion commander, he had never heard of such a powerful healing magic.

"You don't have to think too much about it. My gratitude is not just a courtesy, and our conflict at the beginning was just a misunderstanding. I won't hold it against you." Meiko Ando said with a faint smile.

Her tone seemed calm and natural. When Carlos saw her expression, he saw immense confidence in her own abilities.

If that were not the case, she would not have such advanced healing magic, nor would she have healed her injuries before the negotiations.

This not only represents the other party's sincerity, but also symbolizes the other party's thoughts. Even if you, the strongest fighter in Lans Country, are cured, it will not pose any threat to yourself.

Meiko Anten herself didn't think so much about it. She just simply wanted to show goodwill to Lance. After all, compared with the other three superpowers, the relationship between her and Lance was just a misunderstanding, and there was no deep hatred.

Carlos fell into silence along the way, his eyes wandering outside the window as if he was thinking about something. An Teng Meizi did not disturb her, and simply looked at the not-so-common city scenery outside the window.

The road from the main gate of the imperial city to the front of the palace is very long, so long that it makes people stare blankly for a long time. However, An Teng Meizi has a lot of time and experience in traveling on dragon carts, so she can naturally endure this loneliness.

After an unknown amount of time, the dragon carriage stopped and a towering imperial palace appeared in front of Anten Meiko.

As one of the oldest transition nations, the Lance Kingdom values ​​the limits of human magic more than the common magical technology on the market. Therefore, they established a magic knight group based on strength.

In the Knights, the combat power of every magician is comparable to that of a level six magical beast, the deputy leader is level eight, and she, the legion commander, has the combat power equivalent to that of a level nine magical beast.

Moreover, her combat power is not like that of Harman, the commander of the Porter Army, which is just watered down with magic technology, but is truly a combat power that is stimulated by her own potential.

The dragon carriage arrived at the palace. After the two got off the carriage, Meiko Anten and Carlos went to the reception room together.

"Please wait here for a moment...um..."

Seeing Carlos's hesitation, Anten Meizi also remembered that she didn't seem to introduce herself. However, it was a little late to say this now, so she just casually said her name: "Just call me Ruby."

"Well, Miss Ruby." After saying that, Carlos left, but he was not away for too long. He came back in about half an hour.

She also brought good news to Anten Meiko, that is, the King of Lans was willing to put aside past grudges and meet her.

Although this condescending attitude made Anten Meiko feel very uncomfortable, she was not intolerant in order to achieve her goal. After all, she was not a person who liked to argue.

After waiting for a while, Carlos got up and brought Meiko Anten to the audience hall. Without waiting, Carlos pushed the door and walked in.

Although Anten Meiko was a little confused by this, she still followed him in. Unlike her previous audiences, there was no noble waiting in the audience hall, and no guards were guarding it.

When Carlos slowly closed the door of the audience hall, Anten Meizi realized that there were only three people in this audience hall of several thousand square meters. Apart from the two of them, the king was sitting on the throne set up inside the audience hall.

It was not until Meiko Anten turned her gaze away that she noticed something was wrong, because the person sitting on the throne was not the King of Lance whom she saw when she first came to this world.

Because there is a young man sitting on the throne, and this young man is wearing a brocade robe and a golden crown, and there is a golden sword under his right hand on the side. How can he be dressed like a king if not a king?

"Eh? Why... has the king of your country of Lance been replaced by a new person?" Looking at the young man who was fidgeting on the throne, Meiko Anten asked Carlos in a low voice.

Carlos's expression was slightly embarrassed by this question, but she finally nodded.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 240: Brave Ruby

"Wait, what's going on? It's been less than a year since I left Lance City. How come even the king has been replaced?" Anten Meiko asked in a low voice.

The king looked to be in his prime and not very old. Logically, he could have been active for another thirty or forty years. Why did they change the king just like that?

"I'll explain it to you after the audience is over. For now, you should think about how to report your problem. His Majesty may not have sufficient judgment at this moment."

The two men discussed in a low voice for a while, and a moment later they were standing in the middle of the audience hall. They knelt on one knee and performed a noble etiquette to the king.

"Carlos, sir, the brave warrior from another world, please stand up. Today is not the day for a formal audience, so there is no need to be too restrained." The young king spoke timidly, as if he had not yet adapted to his identity.

"Hero from another world, I am Tenila, the current king of Lance."

"Hello, Your Majesty Tenila. My name is Ruby, but Your Majesty's name is really unique. It sounds like a girl's name."

Because the king was too nervous, in order to ease the atmosphere, Anten Meiko's last sentence was mostly joking, but she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, Tenila's face immediately became panicked.

"Carlos, what...what should I do? She figured out I'm a girl... As expected, she's a hero. She actually saw through my true identity at first sight."

"Your Majesty, she was just joking and teasing you."

Meiko Anten watched the two people talking back and forth in amazement. She seemed to have accidentally learned a big secret of this country.

Carlos glanced at Anten Meiko and could only sigh slightly. He said helplessly, "Sorry, Ruby, just pretend you didn't hear anything. If the other nobles knew that Her Majesty Tenila was not a man, they would probably riot. After all, there is only one son left from the previous generation."

"Brave man, I know why my father kicked you out. But since you've returned at this time, there must be something. If you don't mind, please tell me here."

"Your Majesty Tenila, you can speak with more dignity, and there is no need to use honorifics," Carlos taught.

Although Tenila is the king, Carlos seems to be the current leader, so communication is not as impossible as with the previous king.

An Teng Meizi tidied her words a bit, but she didn't speak immediately. Instead, she asked, "Your Majesty Tenila, Carlos, are you aware of the current situation between the human race and the demon race?"

Tenila's expression changed slightly. She had done her homework on this aspect, but it was obviously still difficult for her to say it out loud at this moment.

Because today was not the day for a formal meeting, Carlos did not force her. Instead, he sighed and repeated the current situation on the continent.

It was similar to what An Teng Meizi heard in the Dragon Clan, but she didn't want to know this so-called information, but wanted to know whether the human race had this information.

"Now that you understand, it's much easier to explain. Then let me ask you again, do you know what caused this situation?"

Carlos thought for a moment and then said, "This is probably the result of the demons' long-planned attack, accumulating power for hundreds of years and unleashing it all at once."

"You're not wrong to think so, but the real reason isn't the demons' conspiracy, but the resurrection of the first demon king. This has caused all the demons to go berserk, increasing their strength and leading to this situation."

Carlos' pupils shrank slightly, and she said in disbelief: "The First Demon King? Are you serious? The First Demon King is really resurrected? No, absolutely impossible. He has been dead for tens of thousands of years. How could he be resurrected?"

"That's the truth. I'm here not only to represent myself, but also to represent the Dragon Clan. My goal is to help your nation of Lance resist the demons from expanding their influence as heroes, and then combine the strength of the entire human race to launch a general attack on the demons."

Meiko Anten stated her purpose. Now is the critical moment of the demon attack. People are dying on the front line every minute, and the number is still increasing.

Therefore, it is necessary to race against time. Any concealment will only cause mutual suspicion between the two parties, thereby delaying the implementation of the plan.

"During my travels, I've only had a fairly good relationship with your country, Lance. That's why I approached you first. I hope to get your help."

According to the information provided by Meiko Anten, Carlos analyzed the current situation alone.

The first generation Demon King does have special means to enhance the strength of the entire demon clan. Now that it has been resurrected, it means that the demon clan’s attack this time is not as simple as fighting for the base, but wants to take down the entire human race.

Therefore, the battles on the border continued, which was a huge drain on the human side. Moreover, with the demise of the oldest superpower, Star, it was a heavy blow to the morale of the entire human race.

Now that Meiko Anten has come here as a brave warrior from another world, no matter whether others believe in her identity or not, as long as she is here, she can provide considerable strategic and emotional value to the human race, which is a very important thing for boosting morale.

Moreover, combining the power of the human race to launch a general attack on the demons is not a bad thing for any human country. Without the threat of the demons, the future development of the human race will only be faster and more rapid.

Moreover, the first country the hero came to was Lance, which meant that Lance would be able to end the threat of the demons earlier and preserve the most complete combat effectiveness.

If they don't agree to An Teng Yazi's request, they will have to continue to passively resist the attacks of the demons. If they agree, they can escape the threat of the demons one step ahead. Even if An Teng Yazi is not very capable, at worst everything will be the same as before.

After a brief thought, Carlos turned his gaze to Tenila, who was fidgeting on the throne because of the atmosphere.

When Tenila saw Carlos nod, the heavy feeling she'd been carrying, like a huge rock, suddenly relaxed considerably. A smile immediately appeared on her face. "Okay, Brave Ruby, I... uh, I agree to your request. From now on, you will follow Commander Carlos and fight for the victory of the human race."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to fight for the victory of mankind and for the future of mankind." Meiko Anten bowed deeply.

Whether it should be said or not, the polite words still need to be said clearly. Since the person standing in front of her is the leader of a country, Meiko Anten will naturally give her respect.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 241: Are You Afraid?

For Meiko Anten, the most ideal way is naturally to let the country of Lans hand over the military power to her, but military power is the foundation of a country, and it is obviously impossible for them to do this for her, an outsider who is not sure whether to believe it or not.

Meiko Anten could understand their actions, and now Carlos had been treated by her. With her fighting ability, it was impossible for him to stay in the palace and rot after recovering from his injuries.

Being able to follow Carlos into the battlefield, as long as she can demonstrate a record worthy of the title of Brave, her appeal will surely be strong.

If Lance, one of the four superpowers, reveals and publicizes its identity, other human countries may also respond and launch an attack on the demons.

An Teng Meizi's request is actually not high. As long as the human race can pose enough threat to the demon race so that most of the demon race's combat power cannot support the first generation demon king, the dragon race and herself can directly go deep into the interior to defeat the first generation demon king.

It can be said that this is a decapitation plan launched against the demons by gathering the power of the entire continent. The human race will become the pioneer of this plan and take the lead in attacking the demons.

Because both parties got conditions that satisfied them, the audience ended quickly. The men's clothing king Tenila was taken away by the maid arranged by Carlos, and she moved to the restaurant with Ando Meiko.

Ando Meiko didn't feel hungry at first, but since things had come to this point, she didn't refuse Carlos's invitation and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the palace.

"I really have to thank you this time. Because of your help, I finally don't have to stay here anymore." The sadness on Carlos' face when they first met had disappeared, and a faint smile showed that she was in a good mood at the moment.

Carlos is 27 years old. As a traditional magician, she does not have the slender figure of a girl. She is 1.8 meters tall, but due to her long-term exercise, she has delicate yet beautiful muscle lines.

Compared to the girls Ando Meiko had seen, she was not particularly pretty, but as the legion leader, she had a temperament that no one else had, a temperament similar to that of Melinda when she was serious.

Why did Ando Meiko come here alone? What happened to her companions? All of this was paving the way for her plan, and the girls had voluntarily separated from her for this purpose, each with their own mission.

Ando Meiko returns to the Kingdom of Lance as a brave warrior, intending to take root here, while Melinda also returns to the Church as a legendary archangel, helping the declining Church to revive itself as a savior.

Ronia returned to the Kingdom of Potter as a princess who had awakened the blood of a hero. Under the full protection of Ishtar, she made the most of her identity to control the situation.

Although she was only seven years old, her mind was no less powerful than that of an adult thanks to her ability to read minds. She quickly gained control of the conservative forces that surrounded her.

The two Silver Fox girls, Beth and Ain, acted separately, hiding their identities and with the help of Melinda and Ronia who had returned to their respective countries, they began to widely publicize the news that the country of Lance had successfully summoned a hero.

Whether it is good news or bad news, whether it is true or a rumor, the news always spreads very quickly, especially during the war, some people with ulterior motives will even use this to start an intelligence business.

The actions of the girls would undoubtedly cause an uproar in the three remaining superpowers, and because the news spread quickly, the news that the country of Lance had summoned a hero was soon spread by intelligence dealers and bards in various exaggerated ways among the human countries, large and small.

At this time, the Kingdom of Lance has undoubtedly become the focus of all countries. Of course, all this is still a story for the future.

Two days later, Meiko Ando stood on the top of a big city on the border of Lans Country. She and Carlos stood side by side and looked at the dark army of demons in the distance. No.

Because in the demon army, Ando Meiko felt a disgusting breath fluctuation, which was the fluctuation of demonic ether.

It is obvious that the real reason why the combat effectiveness of the demon army has been enhanced to this extent is because they have been eroded by the demon ether.

In this case, the first generation of demons was most likely also corroded by the demonic ether, so it seems unlikely that they could be resurrected.

After all, a Void Beast at the peak of the Dragon level is already able to create a spare body to transfer its soul, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous rebirth and resurrection.

"Ruby, are you scared?" Carlos asked in a low voice, perhaps because he saw that Ando Meiko's expression was a little unnatural.

This was Meiko Ando's first battle. Even though her reputation as a brave warrior had spread widely in the country of Lance, no one knew what kind of strength she could show to others.

Ando Meiko turned her head and looked behind her. Both the soldiers and the people in the city cast all kinds of looks at him with expectations, hopes, and longings. It was obvious that the identity of a brave man could indeed bring light to those in the darkness.

Even if this light is just their imagination, it is enough to inspire people. After all, the brave hero in the fairy tale defeated the final demon king, led the human race to the final victory in the war between humans and demons, and also created the superpower of Potter Country.

"What's there to be afraid of? This isn't my first time on the battlefield," Ando Meiko shrugged.

The dragon-level void beasts in her world are different from the void beasts in this world. They all have a terrifying height of at least forty meters. Even if their overall strength is not much different at the same level, the oppressive feeling of their huge size alone is not comparable to the war in front of them.

In the battle to defend the Aegis headquarters, she had faced the desperate attacks of tens of thousands of ghost-level monsters. The surging demonic energy was much more terrifying than the scene before her.

Carlos nodded and gave her an approving look, then tightly gripped the wand in his hand. His breathing gradually calmed down, but the magic power flowing faster and faster in her body was not calm, like the foreshadowing of a storm.

Quietly watching the demon army a few kilometers away, everyone's nerves were tense, their hands tightly gripping their weapons, their fists turned white from excessive force, and their inner clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

In Ando Meiko's unique vision, countless black air condensed in the air to form a huge crawling beast, and the next moment the beast suddenly stood up and let out a silent roar towards the direction of the city.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 242: City Defense

"Here they come." Ando Meiko's calm words made Carlos immediately shift her gaze. Before she could ask what Ando Meiko meant, three seconds later, a roar representing the start of war was heard from the demon army.

Roar!

The demons who had just been calm as if they were on a picnic suddenly responded with roars as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The roars of various beasts continued, and as they began to run fast and wildly, the whole earth seemed to tremble slightly.

Carlos's expression suddenly darkened. She withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and chanted silent spells over and over again. The magic chanting of the commander of the Magic Knights began.

"The defense of the city gate is left to you." Ando Meiko said softly, and then she jumped off the city wall in the horrified eyes of Carlos and many soldiers defending the city, and launched a counterattack against the demon army.

The scene of her facing hundreds of thousands of demon troops alone was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but what was surprising was that no one thought so.

Because the girl's back is obviously very thin, but strangely it gives people a feeling that she is as unshakable as a mountain.
