With the passage of time, Iris finally arrived at the border city of Shuowang Empire - Lido.

The city walls of Lido were built very tall and occupied several kilometers. The walls had fixed ballista platforms and there were also numerous arrow towers. The entire city resembled a fortress, solid and sturdy.

The city gates of Lido were tightly closed, with two large magic formations of lightning and fire guarding on either side.

Upon seeing Iris, the guards on the city walls all bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Iris nodded in acknowledgement, signaling to them that there was no need for excessive formalities, and continued her inspection.

Following behind her were Lili Lanzu and Shizhi, the former being the Martial Angel Yi and the latter being the Demon Hunter Shizhi.

Shizhi, being a demon, inherently despised angels. In her eyes, angels were despicable deceivers and cunning thieves. Even though the Martial Angel had died in battle against the Ruined Land Alliance without killing any demons, Shizhi still held no favorable opinion of her.

As the saying goes, "The fish rots from the head down." Your Majesty, the angel, is a shameless rascal, so how good can her angels really be?

However, out of respect for Your Majesty's dignity, Shizhi did not show her disdain and walked beside Iris respectfully.

Lili Lanzu bore no particular enmity towards demons and held a helping attitude towards her former angel brethren. She focused all her energy on her sister Lilia and was not obsessed with her like a sister-con. She was simply fulfilling her promise.

When Lili Lanzu came of age, her adoptive mother Ye Li had said something to her that she still remembered vividly.

Ye Li said, "Little Lanzu, someday you will ascend to the throne as Queen Your Majesty. Though Lilia is your sister, her character is mischievous and she is very prone to trouble. Little Shuzhou, you must remain calm and composed. When I am no longer here, you must watch over Lilia for me. By then, she will be the ruler of a nation, and any trouble she causes could be quite terrifying, even leading to war."

This sentence had always been engraved in Lili Lanzu's heart and she had never forgotten it.

In reality, Lili Lanzu had a lot on her mind. She didn't want her sister to lose Iris, even though they didn't recognize each other, her sister could still see Iris every day.

The once formidable vampire Your Majesty, due to amnesia, only remembered her daughter and had become a doting parent. Every day, she would get up early to sneak a peek at Iris sleeping.

Of course, Lili Lanzu would naturally assist her sister. As a result, Iris never discovered that she was being watched.

What would happen if her sister's memories were completely restored?

As Iris walked along the city walls, she felt very anxious. A single roar from Blood Howl had the power to kill two angels and she didn't have any serious injuries. This was a terrifying level of strength.

Not long after, a scout came to report that the commander of the Ruined Land Alliance was a woman riding a black horse. Blood Howl was slowly flying behind this woman on horseback.

The woman on horseback was undoubtedly stronger than Blood Howl, which was why Iris had called Lili Lanzu over.

Jinghe and Beezelbub remained in the imperial city on standby, while Yar oversaw the overall situation, preparing for any unexpected circumstances. She needed to be prepared for the worst.

At that moment, something in Iris's pocket was moving. She reached out and touched Federer, and it immediately stopped wriggling and quieted down.

It was obvious that Federer sensed the taste of fear, and it had become excited.

At this moment, a soldier approached Iris, "Your Majesty, the Ruined Land barbarians have entered the range of the ballistas. Please give your command!"

"Attack!" Iris coldly uttered two words.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldier turned around and ran towards the ballista formation.

Moments later, rounds of giant ballistas were launched, and the dense barrage of ballistas fell upon the Ruined Land alliance army like a deluge.

"Boom!"

The center of the Ruined Land alliance army exploded, thick smoke billowed, and the smoke of gunpowder dispersed.

Immediately, the flame magic arrays on both sides and the thunder magic arrays were activated simultaneously, and the thunderous roar resounded through the sky.

The scorching flames and pungent smell filled the air, burning the Ruined Land alliance army.

No cries of pain came from afar. As the smoke dissipated, the figures of the Ruined Land alliance army gradually became clear.

They stood still in their original positions, not a speck of dust could be found on their bodies, as if the intense bombardment just now had caused no harm at all.

Seeing this scene, all the defending soldiers showed a horrified expression on their faces.

"How is this possible?" Iris's pupils contracted, showing a pensive look, as if she had thought of something.

"Could it be..."

Iris looked up and saw a transparent crystal barrier hovering above the Ruined Land alliance army. The crystal barrier shimmered with a clear white light, as if it were a plastic wrap enveloping the Ruined Land alliance army.

The Night Demon held a diamond-shaped black crystal in his hand. This was a defense crystal created by dark magic, which could protect the alliance army from the bombardment of ballistas and magic arrays.

The Night Demon looked up at Iris, his lips slightly curved upward, "Blood Howl, she is the one who tore your sleeve, right? Hehe, with white hair mixed with a few strands of black hair, she is quite attractive."

"That's right, sister." Blood Howl nodded heavily, staring straight at Iris, "Her eyes are exactly the same as our father's."

"Golden red, indeed quite enchanting." The Night Demon muttered, "It seems that this vampire girl is indeed our father's child, but it's a pity that she stands against us..."

"I think she probably didn't spend much time with our father, maybe she has been living with her mother, so she sees us as enemies." Blood Howl asked, "Sister, what should we do? Should we kill her or..."

The Night Demon smiled, his gaze icy and piercing, "She is our father's flesh and blood stranded outside. As older siblings, of course, we should bring her back and educate her! And by the way, you were a bit too heavy-handed, I will personally capture her."

"Understood."

Iris noticed the gaze of the opposing side and immediately became cautious.

"Since ballistas and magic arrays can't cause any damage, be prepared for close combat." Iris said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

With the sounding of the attack horn from the Ruined Land alliance army, the war immediately began.

A dense swarm of black shadows surged towards the imperial capital city, moving at an extremely fast speed, like a torrent, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached just below the city.

Using the earth element within its body, the Bimong creature condensed giant rocks and fiercely smashed them toward the city walls.

Boom!

Hundreds of giant rocks fell simultaneously, smashing into the city walls. The deafening collision sound accompanied by the tremendous noise spread in the air, and a corner of the city wall instantly collapsed, with rubble and debris falling down.

Some soldiers who couldn't dodge in time were hit by bricks and screamed as they fell.

The situation was extremely violent, with both sides on the verge of a clash, engaging in intense combat.

The crossbow artillery never ceased firing. Although they couldn't penetrate the enemy's crystal shield, they could choose to attack the Ruined Land Alliance army that was outside the shield.

The crossbow bolts flew out one by one, cutting through the air with a sharp and piercing sound, falling like a storm.

The Ruined Land Alliance army was fearless, charging forward, using their flesh and blood to ensure the advancement of their forces.

Federer in my pocket couldn't hold back any longer. The fear brought by the war made it tremble all over, desperately wanting to tear apart the enemy.

It didn't care about Iris War Emperor's identity. It jumped out of the pocket and leaped down from the city wall.

It spat out the scarecrow from its mouth, while it absorbed the wonderful power of fear in the cage on its chest.

The scarecrow landed steadily on the ground, motionless, as if it had lost its vitality.

Everyone's gaze shifted to the scarecrow. The Ruined Land Alliance army thought it was some kind of powerful weapon and rushed forward with their swords raised.

However, they quickly realized that it was just a scarecrow and had nothing special about it.

"Crack—"

Suddenly, the scarecrow moved, waving its left hand with a dark red war scythe, cutting off a bloodline and bisecting the Ruined Land Alliance soldier who was attacking it.

"Ah!" Federer mimicked the mournful cry of a dying Ruined Land Alliance soldier, echoing in the ears of the crowd.

The Ruined Land Alliance army was petrified.

"What's going on? How did a scarecrow appear, and what's with that creepy sound?"

Federer dragged its steel claws with its right hand and rushed into the crowd of Ruined Land Alliance soldiers. Every time it jumped, it would leave a deep crater on the ground, its speed unbelievable.

"Splut—"

"Splish—"

Federer continued to harvest lives, limbs flying, blood splattering, sprays of red liquid nauseating.

"Kill that scarecrow, quickly!"

One leader hoarsely shouted.

Upon hearing the command, the others adjusted their positions and aimed at the rampaging Federer.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Three arrows whistled through the air.

The three arrows firmly lodged in the scarecrow's body, but didn't cause the slightest harm to Federer.
