The story of the black silk female knight

The wind wall formed by wind magic was shattered with a single punch.

The near-star surface temperature at the center of the nuclear explosion was of little use; the forbidden fire spells were more like a lukewarm bath to the Crimson Giant.

Water magic can only make its surface a little wet; it can't freeze it at all.

Lightning spells struck it but were like stones sinking into the sea, without any reaction.

Dark magic is likely to be absorbed by the Crimson Giant, making it stronger. Holy light magic should be the most effective, but neither Tia nor Dreigan will use it.

Valensa, the only one on the scene who knows Holy Light magic, is using a coquettish tone to ask Zero for help through her Faith Circuit.

To eliminate the current Crimson Giant in one blow, we must use that powerful artifact. Normally, such an artifact can only be used to deal with extraterrestrial threats. Using it on the ground is against the rules, and it is difficult to get approved through the normal application process. Even if it is approved, the approval process is very slow.

Therefore, Valensa could only use her personal connections to plead with Zero. After agreeing to spend a few days alone on the continent of the gods to keep Zero company, Zero finally agreed to grant Valensa special permission through the Saintess's authority to use the artifact immediately, but a period of preparation for launch would still be required.

But given the current situation, this preparation time should be enough for the Crimson Giant to storm into Fran and wreak havoc. Tia and Dregran really can't stop it, at least not here.

Dreigan's Spellstorm is very cool, but it's only good for crushing weaker opponents. It struggles against opponents of the same level like the Black Dragon Princess, let alone against the Scarlet Giant, where it's practically a scratch.

Her only move that could actually damage the Crimson Giant was Moon Breath, but Moon Breath required charging up, which was enough time for the Crimson Giant to unleash a beam attack.

Tia, whose strength is only at the Star Glory level, has even lower regular spell power, so it's useless.

She was only a beginner in time magic and had no chance against a target this large. The same went for space magic; given the crimson giant's size and strength, Tia couldn't teleport it unless it cooperated.

"...There's no other way. It seems we still have to rely on that trick. But I can only use that spell at the fortress on the Fran border."

After yet another remotely activated gravity trap failed, Tia sighed helplessly and turned to look at the pink-scaled butterfly-winged dragon beside her:

"I'll leave it to you to continue following it, Sister Dregran. I'll go first."

"it is good."

As Dreigan responded, she flapped her wings again, throwing five or six high-level elemental spells at the crimson giant in one go... These elemental spells were not very effective, but they could slow the crimson giant down a little.

Tia then contacted Nana, who had just flown directly to the Fran border, and teleported there using Nana as the anchor point.

Most of the garrison that had received orders had already withdrawn and escorted the local residents to safety. Only three officers with the strength of the Radiant Rank volunteered to stay and help. They were all members of the Britannia family faction. When they saw Tia, they respectfully called her "Young Miss." Only after Tia glared at them did they realize their mistake and quickly changed their address to "Head of the Family."

Just as Tia was quickly issuing instructions to the three officers to deploy tactics, the teleportation array inside the fortress, which could only be used by senior officers, was activated again, and two completely unexpected people appeared.

"Your Highness? Senior Gina? What brings you here? What are you doing here?"

Tia was very surprised, followed by anger:

"Go back quickly! It's going to become very dangerous here soon! I can barely protect myself, let alone take care of you!"

“I know…I saw it all…that terrifying enemy.”

Princess Jing's legs were trembling slightly as she spoke, and she even had to lean half of her body weight on Gina to stay upright.

After all, when Princess Yan was controlling the undead army, her consciousness was synchronized with that of each undead.

The moment the undead army was wiped out by the crimson giant, Princess Xuan felt that power and fear more directly than anyone else.

But Princess Yu's eyes were very firm, even exceptionally clear:

"I don't know why I came. Actually, I didn't want to come at all. I'm terrified of that scary guy. My legs go weak just looking at him... I need Gina to kiss me to stand up."

"...But Your Highness, you still came."

Tia seemed to have guessed something, and her expression was somewhat complicated.

"Yes, I came anyway, I had no choice."

Princess Jing gritted her teeth, barely managing to break free from Gina's support and stand on her own, one hand clutching tightly to her chest:

"When I learned that the monster was rushing toward Fran and was about to wreak havoc here, countless roars inexplicably resounded from the depths of my soul... The roars were chaotic, and I couldn't hear them at all, but I immediately understood the meaning of those voices."

"Stop it... We must stop that monster! We can't let it enter Fran and wreak havoc! We absolutely cannot let this happen!"

Princess Yi was panting heavily, her face flushed red, and her body was trembling even more violently, even threatening to collapse again.

Seeing this, Gina quickly tried to help her up, but Princess Yu gently pushed her away.

brush!

The demonic sword Frostmourne appeared out of thin air in Princess Jing's hands, stuck into the ground in front of her, and she held it with both hands, using it like a cane to support her terrified body.

"This might just be my princess-like capriciousness, or it might just be a momentary impulse."

Princess Yu took another deep breath and looked intently at Tia:

"For the first 30 years of my life, I lived in a daze, only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun. I was a well-known good-for-nothing princess in the royal aristocratic circles, and I was not ashamed of it but proud of it... It wasn't until I met Gina, my baby, and you and Valensa that things started to change."

Now, although I have gained some positive reputation, I am ultimately just using my royal status to cover for you and Valensa. That reputation and honor should truly belong to you... I am well aware of all this, very well aware.

"Even so, it wouldn't have mattered. I'm not ambitious anyway. I'd just coast along with the support of you two allies for the rest of my life... I think that's fine, I'm content."

"Until just now...until I personally experienced the fear of being destroyed by that monster from the first-person perspective of the undead."

Princess Yu gasped for breath again as she spoke, her face turning pale:

"The lives destroyed by that bloody light are not just about death; they also have to endure a kind of soul-level pain... a kind of pain that I would faint just by imagining it."

The thought of that monster potentially storming into Fran and slaughtering its people filled my soul with a roar and a cry... Perhaps no matter how much I want to give up, I am still of Fran royal blood... Please, Tia."

Princess Yu's eyes became exceptionally firm and serious, and even her legs stopped trembling.

"Don't stop me. I don't care if I die. Just this once, I want to fulfill my responsibility as a royal princess... with my own determination and effort!"

"I will go with her."

Gina took the initiative to express her opinion before Tia could even ask:

"Regardless of the outcome."

"...You guys are really... sigh."

Tia gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Princess Yan had already put it this way, so it was really hard for her to refuse.

It's easy to use magic to sneak up on Princess Jing and Gina, knock them unconscious, and force them to leave, but it might be difficult to remain friends afterward.

No matter how frightened Princess Qian appeared, the resolve in her eyes at that moment possessed an iron will and steely resilience.

"Ok."

Tia could only agree, and after thinking for a moment, she asked more tactfully:

"So, Your Highness and Senior Sister, what are you going to do? How do you plan to stop that monster?"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to help."

Seeing that Tia had agreed to let her join the war, Princess Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appearing on her face:

"Although I had never used it before, or even heard of its existence for the first time, just as I made up my mind to come, some kind of power seemed to awaken within me... That power was quite compatible with my magic sword, so I could probably use that spell, the highest secret technique of the royal family."

"The royal family's highest secret technique? Could it be that?"

Tia's eyes lit up; she had clearly heard of the secret technique Princess Yu had mentioned.

"That's great... If it really is that secret technique, it will definitely be of great help."

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

Before the two could say anything more, the fortress suddenly began to shake intermittently, and loud noises echoed from afar.

It was the sound of the blood-red giant's footsteps. Every step it took caused a small earthquake. It was already very close!

"There's no time... Let's go, up to the city wall."

Tia's expression changed, and she made a decisive decision.

This is Fortress No. 21 in the northern border of France. The walls are over 50 meters high and have withstood countless attacks from wild beasts over the past centuries.

But in front of the 300-meter-tall blood-red giant, the 50-meter-high city wall only reached its calves, and it could easily step over it or even crush it.

However, this is currently Fran's last line of defense... In less than an hour, the residents of nearby cities and towns simply could not be evacuated.

Once the Crimson Giants break through the fortress and enter Fran territory to wreak havoc... the death toll of the Fran people will likely reach the millions, a massive tragedy that hasn't occurred in centuries.

This is something that must be avoided at all costs.

Tia had sent out the message to call for reinforcements immediately, but it was still too late.

There are no cell phones or satellite communications in this world. The top experts have their own lives and often go out to explore caves or secret realms. It is normal for them to be completely unreachable for two or three days.

Therefore, we should not place too much hope on reinforcements and should be prepared to rely entirely on ourselves.

Tia used a large number of golden magic cards to set up a magic circle on the fortress wall, and sat in the magic circle to meditate, preparing for her powerful spell that could only be used once.

Nana and three Radiant-rank officers from the Bretania family stayed by Tia's side. They were the last line of defense protecting Tia from casting spells and were also responsible for forcibly taking her away if Tia's spells failed.

Princess Jing was the first to encounter the crimson giant charging towards them from afar.

You could tell she was really scared. Gina used levitation to carry her down from the city wall, and when she stood in front of the wall, her clothes were soaked through, and you could wring water out of her stockings.

Even so, she did not flinch in the slightest, but faced the enemy she feared head-on, raising the cursed sword Frostmourne high with both hands:

"Awaken, warriors of Fran! Fight once more to protect them!"

!

The effect of the Frostmourne sword activated, causing the area around the fortress to tremble even more violently. This was no longer just due to the footsteps of the blood giant in the distance, but rather because a large number of undead were constantly emerging from the ground.

These undead are all dressed in the uniforms of the Kingdom of Fran and wield standard weapons. They are soldiers who fell in war to protect their homeland. Now, they have all awakened under the power of the magic sword and are fighting once again as undead to protect their homeland.

But it's not enough.

The undead that the soldiers resurrected were indeed stronger than ordinary low-level undead, but they didn't even have automatic rifles. Charging forward was useless and they couldn't stop the Crimson Giant at all. They might even be assimilated and absorbed by the Crimson Giant, making the Crimson Giant even stronger.

So Princess Yu did not stop her actions; her spellcasting had only just begun.

Her expression grew even more frightened, her lips turned pale, and her teeth chattered, but Princess Qian's hand did not hesitate at all.

puff!

The blade of the demonic sword Frostmourne reversed, piercing Princess Jing herself from above.

Blood gushed from her chest, but Princess Gui didn't utter a single cry of pain. Instead, under Gina's tear-streaked gaze, she screamed once more with all her might:

"Great Goddess, in the name of Elserse Fran, in accordance with the covenant, I beseech you to bestow your divine power and bless the valiant warrior."

"For this, I am willing to offer my blood, my piety, my life... even my soul."

"Become heroic spirits, warriors!"

!

The crimson blood was almost instantly absorbed by the demonic sword Frostmourne, making Princess Jing's face even paler and her lips turn purple.

But immediately, the cold, sinister blade warmed up, and golden holy light shone on its pale surface, rewriting all the magical runes that the Great Witch Friggia had personally inscribed, transforming them into even more magnificent and mysterious patterns.

Then, Frostmourne, which had completely transformed into the form of the Holy Sword, was pulled out of Princess Jing's body and slowly flew up, its dazzling golden light enveloping Princess Jing and all the undead soldiers.

The healing power healed Princess Xuan's terrible wounds and replenished her lost blood.

The Holy Light then armed every undead soldier, dressing them in magnificent golden armor of light and wielding them sharp golden weapons of light. Their strength, speed, and other attributes were also greatly enhanced, and almost all of them reached the level of a Lighthouse-level Paladin.

Become!

The scene before her eyes brought tears of excitement to Princess Jing's eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the French royal family's strongest trump card, and also the secret technique passed down through generations of the French family.

Summon divine grace through the bloodline of the king, and mass-produce heroic warriors.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Kingdom of Fran became a nation of the Church and knights, giving the Church of the Sun and clergy a wide berth in all aspects.

Because the ancestors of the Fran family obtained the power to expand their family's foundation and even establish a country by making a pact with the sun goddess... Fran is a true example of divine right of kings.

However, the Church of the Sun has a rule of not interfering in secular affairs; a country's royal family cannot have too deep a connection with the church, at least not openly.

Therefore, the Fran royal family has not used this power of contract for a long time... The last royal family member to use this power was Princess Xian's great-grandmother, who is also the current leader of the Knights of Heroes.

When she was a princess, humanity was not as powerful as it is now. Fran was once invaded directly by wild beasts, losing most of its northern territory.

The French royal family at the time had no choice but to once again draw upon the power of their ancestors to form a new Order of Heroes to resist the natural disaster.

Now, Princess Yu has once again demonstrated this power.

Unlike her great-grandmother, who was originally a powerful Rank 1 warrior, she couldn't transform herself into an almost immortal and powerful Heroic Spirit Warrior. Instead, she could only wield Frostmourne, which had become a holy sword, and stand behind as a pillar of light to buff other Heroic Spirit Warriors and issue commands.

The crimson giant was now very close to the fortress, and Princess Yu once again raised her holy sword:

"Heroic Knights! Charge!"
