Bor didn't chat much with Bexia. After a few simple words, he left. Seeing her anxious appearance, Bexia frowned. It seemed that the situation was not as simple as expected, otherwise Bor wouldn't be so urgent.
Another two peaceful days passed in the Alliance City. From the news coming from the outside, the demons were about to capture the Alliance City. The situation was even more terrifying than previous demon outbreaks. Countless demons attacked the defense lines, and many places were said to have been completely slaughtered, with no one left alive.
The fortunate ones who managed to escape were all covered in dirt, with injuries all over their bodies, looking pitiful.
Orders were issued to withdraw from the defense lines within the city, except for most of the third-line area and some of the second-line area. It was said that the third-line area had already fallen, which was an unprecedented event in the history of the Dark Border in the past century. Even for ordinary people, this situation was already very terrifying.
Furthermore, there was unrest outside the Alliance City recently, with frequent attacks by small groups of demons. Adventurer squads reported a significant increase in the number of demons, including a large number of flying demons, resulting in heavy losses.
It had been so many days, and Ophilia still hadn't returned. Bexia couldn't help but want to ask someone for information. So, she took Sakuya to the city gate. The only person she knew here was Kuno, whose position was not low and surely had a lot of information.
One of the guards happened to be the same as last time, and they naturally recognized Bexia. After receiving their report, Bexia was quickly taken up to the city tower, where she saw Kuno gazing into the distance.
"Sir Bexia, are you here to inquire about the Princess's whereabouts?" Kuno guessed Bexia's intentions as soon as he saw her.
"Yes, I wonder how Ophilia is doing now?"
"The situation is not very good. According to the scouts' reports, the Princess encountered a large group of demons on her way back, but fortunately, she is almost here. It is estimated that she will arrive in the Alliance City today!"
"Is that so?" Bexia was still somewhat worried.
"Boom boom boom!" At that moment, a strong vibration came from the ground, and clouds of dust rose in the distance. A large group of demons were chasing after a group of soldiers.
"All artillerymen, elementalists, and archers, prepare for battle!" Kuno gave the order directly.
When the demons approached, the pursued group also revealed their appearance. When Kuno saw the emblem of the third legion of the Asman Kingdom, he became uneasy and exclaimed, "That is the third legion of the Princess!"
"Damn it, how could this happen?!" Kuno looked at the third legion being chased, and it was clear that their numbers were less than half of when they left. These soldiers were all elites! Losing half of the army was a disaster for the legion. It would take years to recover to their peak state.
"Quickly send someone to assist the Princess!" Kuno gave another order and told his deputy, "Go find General Yudal and ask him to come and support us!"
"Yes!" The deputy immediately obeyed and left. Bexia looked at the Asman Kingdom's third legion in the distance. With the enhanced vision from her magic, she could just barely see Ophilia in the rear of the legion. As the legion commander and the kingdom's princess, it was unexpected for her to be in the rear, although it didn't fit her status, it did match her character.
As Bexia watched Ophelia fighting bloody battles, she wanted to fly over and rescue her directly, but it was impossible. She couldn't fly and there was a swarm of monsters chasing them from behind. How could Bexia handle it alone?
Soon, a majestic middle-aged man approached, wearing black knight armor and making the sound of "kaz-kaz" as his boots collided with the ground. His eyes were fierce like a tiger, instilling fear in people.
"General Yudar, Princess is being chased by a group of monsters. We need support to bring her back!" Kono saluted Yudar and said.
"Open the city gate, my cavalry has arrived!" Yudar glanced at a distance, his face showing no expression, and calmly commanded.
"Yes!" Kono ordered his subordinates, "Open the city gate quickly!"
"Open the city gate!" the deputy shouted towards the gate, then blew a special horn from his waist to confirm the order. Soon, the huge gate slowly opened.
"I will be back soon, you prepare for support!" Yudar said and jumped off the city wall. But before he hit the ground, a huge magic circle appeared, lifting him into the air.
"That's a dragon?!" Bexia looked at the giant figure below Yudar and couldn't help but be amazed. Wasn't the dragon already extinct?
But then he noticed something different. It wasn't a dragon at all, but a flying dragon of the sub-species known as "Yalons". Although dragons no longer existed, the sub-species of Yalons were still rare. It was extraordinary to have one as a mount.
Flying dragons belonged to the sub-species of dragons with bloodlines closest to the dragons. Appearance-wise, they were almost identical to dragons, possessing powerful physical defenses and magic immunity. However, flying dragons were mainly melee fighters and could not use magic. The only thing they could do was a weakened version of breath attacks.
As Yudar flew out of the Alliance City, a well-equipped squadron of cavalry quickly followed suit. There were about a thousand soldiers. With a threatening momentum, they charged forward, their spears glistening with a cold red light.
The thousand cavalry burst out of the Alliance City, the sound of their warhorses thundering without end. Bexia felt his blood boil as he watched, and he reached out to touch Sakuya's head, saying, "Sakuya, stay here for a while. I am going out!"
"But there are a lot of monsters there, it's dangerous. Brother, don't go, okay?" Sakuya looked at the massive number of monsters and frightenedly pulled at Bexia's clothes.
"It's okay, I'm very powerful. You wait here, I'll be back soon!" Bexia turned to Kono and said, "Captain Kono, can you look after this child for a while?"
"Are you sure you want to go out?! It's simply a suicidal act." Kono shook his head and disagreed with Bexia's idea of going out alone.
"Haha! Even if I stand here and let the monsters attack me, they can't do anything. Captain Kono, please take care of her. I'm going to bring Ophelia back." Bexia said, then leaped down and cast a series of enhancement spells on himself in mid-air. His speed was actually not slower than the cavalry on horseback.
"This guy..." Kono had seen arrogant young people before, after all, they were all talented and had powerful backgrounds, inevitably looking down on others. But those were monsters! Even with a large group, they couldn't defend against them, let alone one person rushing in. He wasn't a group of cavalry, so there was no way to compare.
