Otherwise, you can find another savior.

"You guys, don't worry about this place, go support Kenlak, they need you more." Mab waved his hand.

The spreading magic power acted on the fallen soldiers, and they immediately stood up, shouting "Yes, sir" and rushed towards Shiomi.

"Are you using it to strengthen these soldiers?" Jian finally noticed the problem.

"Of course. They are my most precious warriors. It would be troublesome if they died in battle." Mab clenched his fists. "It would be great to conquer Britain on my own, but that would mean I have no subjects, wouldn't it?"

"I am not alone!"

Ash rushed forward again and fought with Mab. His magic wand transformed into a spear, and he was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the heavier sword.

Speaking objectively, Jian's spear skills are already top-notch in the world, and it can be said that he is only one step away from entering the realm of gods.

But it is precisely this one step away that is as wide as a chasm.

She is a magic genius that even Shiomi is jealous of, and can create all kinds of amazing magic.

But on the other hand, in terms of martial arts, even if Shiomi taught everything he knew to Ash without reservation, Ash would not be able to match Shiomi's spearmanship.

However, even if his marksmanship was not at the level of God, it should not be underestimated by Mab.

The clash of guns and swords was already so fast that it was impossible to discern the attack and defense.

Ash's seemingly fatal blow only barely passed by Mab's neck.

Mab's similar attack was also blocked by Ash's thrust, so he couldn't hit his opponent.

The two people who had not made up their minds to die together could only spontaneously and quickly distance themselves and fight again.

"It seems that I thought things were too simple at the beginning."

Mab waved her hand and used her magic power at a high intensity. Golden lines appeared all over her body, even spreading to her face.

The queen's body was further strengthened.

The next moment, she came in front of Jian and resisted with almost all her strength, finally preventing Mab's kick from hitting her body, and it only landed on the gun.

Jian, who was standing on the ground and moving backwards, finally flipped over because of the uneven ground.

This time Mab caught up to the top and slashed it down with the sword in both hands.

It crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Jian was half-kneeling in the pit, leaning on his gun, covered in dust.

She slowly stood up and looked at Mab who had fallen on the edge of the pit.

The other party was not in a hurry to pursue, but was observing Jian's condition.

"That's strange! Even if I had deployed my defense, I should have been able to hit you." Mab noticed something was wrong. "Why are you not hurt at all?"

"I can't help it. My husband is a bit overprotective."

Jian touched the part where he was hit. The pain had subsided, and only the dust on his body proved that he had indeed been temporarily at a disadvantage because of Mab's surprise attack.

The power and speed of that attack just now were beyond his expectations, and it was actually enough to take the life of Jian, who had not yet fully adapted.

Even with the hastily constructed magical defense, Ash would have to pay the price of at least half of his bones being broken.

"...sharing the pain...no, is it pain compensation?" Mab immediately saw through the essence.

This is similar to her distributing power to the army under her command to further enhance combat effectiveness.

"Yes."

Jian was actually a little embarrassed.

She is the savior, but she lets others bear the pain on her behalf, as if she is extremely delicate.

In fact, when Shiomi gave her the technique, he did not tell her the whole appearance.

Completely integrate each other's inner lives, transfer all of Jian's injuries to him, and then rely on the power of life to heal the injuries.

If I had known it would be such a one-sided result, I would definitely have refused.

It was not until Jian had truly experienced the process of being "hurt" that he realized this.

Chapter 66 Variables

"I'm impressed by how far you've come." Mab laughed heartily, his eyes growing sharper. "Then let me see how many more fatal wounds you... no, that sage can withstand!"

"Don't even think about getting what you want—!"

Jian raised his spear to meet the attack.

After Mab strengthened his body, his speed and strength were further improved, but it was not an absolute advantage.

Originally, Mab planned to take the enemy by surprise and end the battle regardless of whether he could kill Ash or not.

The defeat of the savior Ash, once this confirmed news spread, would be enough to crush the entire morale of the southern goblins and make the subsequent conquest easy.

However, the attack that was determined to win failed to hurt Jian, but instead gave Jian the opportunity to adapt to the new speed and strength. With just two moves, Jian was barely able to keep up with the speed and respond.

The raised spear barely blocked the long sword that was about to chop down from his shoulder.

"Are you so reluctant to see him continue to get hurt for you?" Mab asked in surprise, "Or are you afraid he'll die before you?"

"That's harsh." Jian tried to laugh. "There's no being in this world that can kill him... Not even a great goblin like you can do it!"

As the last note fell, Jian and Mab kicked out almost at the same time, landing on each other and widening the distance between them.

Ash was well aware that Shiomi would not die.

It's not simply that their lifespan is longer than that of fairies, but... they have long since overcome the concept of "death".

Having lost the concept of "death", Shiomi is pure "life".

The body does not age, the soul does not decay, and the spirit does not decay.

No matter what kind of pain and torture, it could not kill him, nor could he reach his end.

But even so, Jian didn't want to watch Xi Jian bear fatal injuries for her again and again.

"Unkillable humans?" Mab didn't understand what Ash said.

“Not only humans, but even gods, only a very small number of beings can avoid death.” Jian once again transformed his gun into a staff.

The sky suddenly darkened.

The magic that was previously used to intimidate the Fang Fairy was quietly set up during the battle with Mab.

Lightning and thunder suddenly descended, accompanied by rain as sharp as knives, heading straight for Mab.

The area of ​​dozens of meters around her became the magic's area of ​​effect.

However, Mab strengthened his body to a less than elegant level, with golden magic lines covering his entire body, a breathtaking beauty.

The sharp blades of rain that were powerful enough to tear rocks apart only produced a series of scorching sparks when they landed on Mab.

“To this extent!”

Mab took slow steps, speeding up little by little, and finally sprinting. When the magic of Ash moved out of the area, he escaped from the range with even faster movements.

"I won't lose to you!"

The two men's weapons clashed once again, but this time it was accompanied by Ash's magic.

Mab also responded in a similar way. With a wave of her sword, the ground cracked and sharp spikes of soil shot out, continuously chasing after Ash.

The battle changed from hand-to-hand combat to one mixed with magic and sorcery.

Compared to Ash's rich and varied magic, Mab tends to use magic power as pure attacks.

"If this continues, even if we fight until dawn tomorrow, there will be no winner."

Ash flew into the sky to increase his movement space and avoid Mab's swift pursuit.

"We'll have to fight, though." Mab blocked Ash's magic with his sword. "Or maybe you can surrender now. You and the Sage are both formidable fighters. If you're willing to help me suppress disasters and maintain my rule, I'll treat you with the best of both worlds."

Suddenly, Jian frowned. "You should know that a thousand years have passed since the last great disaster. No one knows where this disaster will begin or where it will occur. Why start a war now?"

"You mean, if I start the war sooner or later, you won't come out to hinder me?" Mab asked back. "The result is the same either way. It doesn't matter when the war starts! Even without you, I can still suppress the disaster!"

"Given the power you've demonstrated, these words are not empty words." Jian nodded slightly, "But you're wrong to exclude other clans and establish a nation with only one clan left."

"Merge all clans into one, and make all goblins submit to me." Mab disagreed, "Isn't this exactly what you want, a country without strife?"

"Even if we become one, the conflict will not disappear..." Jian saw the result clearly.

There was no process involved, and this was accomplished solely by Mab's personal strength and the powerful military force under his command.

The goblins surrendered only because they were afraid of death, not because they were loyal to Mab from the bottom of their hearts.

After all... it's impossible for fairies to be willing to be inferior to other fairies.

"That's not your problem, Ash."

Attacks of pure magic and sorcery continue to clash. As the battle intensifies, both Ash and Mab are aware of their opposing ideologies. Only by determining the winner in this battle can the future of Britain be determined.

"The idea of ​​clan union is indeed good, but it is too slow."

Mab rushed to the bottom of the ash and leaped upwards.

Taking advantage of the time in the air, Mab launched a series of attacks.

When she said "too slow", did she mean that Ash and Shiomi's continuous actions in the past 1700 years were too slow, or that Ash's reaction at this moment was too slow.

Jian didn't have time to delve into it, but instead tried his best to resolve the attack and counterattack.

The battle lasted from noon to dusk, and there was not much time left before nightfall.

Both Mab and Jian were gasping for breath, their physical strength and magic power were greatly depleted, but they still couldn't defeat each other.

"It's really difficult..." Mab didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I can say the same thing to you." Jian pointed his wand at Mab, brewing the next magic trick.

"It's really not that easy to conquer an opponent like you in Britain." Mab also tensed his body, preparing to attack Ash again. "I thought I had already defeated you."

Get a human lover like Ash did, then launch a war to conquer Britain.

"Same here." Jian smiled knowingly. She knew that Mab regarded her as a competitor at the starting line.

The air froze slightly, but the sound of fighting on the battlefield had not stopped.

However, the next moment, Mab's expression suddenly changed, becoming incredible, full of sadness and anger.

"……Why?"

"Huh?" Jian was slightly surprised.

She felt the breath of a great disaster, but Mab didn't care about it. Instead, he looked in a certain direction.

They have been besieging the direction of Shiomi.

what happened?

Jian hadn't realized it yet.

Chapter 67: End

Three hundred and fifty-seven.

Looking at the enemies falling in front of him, Shiomi counted silently.

From noon to dusk, 357 enemies had fallen at his hands.

The fearless guards, knowing that they could not defeat Xijian even if they surrounded him, still launched a fearless charge, using their own blood to bloom the flower of life on the battlefield.

Slightly stretching his sore fingers, Shiomi looked at the dead soldiers with a little respect.

Let’s not talk about the goblins for now.

The fact that human soldiers could fight so desperately cannot be explained by loyalty.

Queen Mab gave these short-lived humans a reason and a whole new meaning to their existence.

That's the only explanation.

Sacrifice one's life for righteousness.

Perhaps the humans on the Fairy Island cannot explain this truth, but they still figured out one thing.

——It is better to fight to death for something worth dying for than to live a short life in mediocrity.
