In the command post, Gramon, Sora, and Jeter all looked gloomy and uncomfortable even though they won.
"Report! A woman claiming to be from the Vallière family is here for the captain of the Griffin Squad," the soldier outside the tent shouted, holding a smaller figure.
Several people heard the sound and looked.
Isn't that Louise? How did she get here? Sora opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"Let her go. She's my fiancée, Louise Vallière," Sora said.
"Yes, sir." The soldier let go of his hand and turned to leave.
"Sora!" Louise flew over, hugged Sora, and buried her head in his chest.
"I'm so worried about you. You didn't tell me why you came to fight. I'm so scared, Sora, Sora."
"I'm sorry to make you worry. It's okay, it's okay, it's over." Sora stroked her long hair with warmth in his heart—Louise had run over because she was worried about him.
"Captain Sora, this is a battlefield. Look after your woman." Gramon looked dissatisfied.
"By the way, Marshal Gramon, there's still something we can do." Sora raised his head and said.
"Huh?" Gramon asked.
"Louise can actually emit magic equivalent to the power of fourth-tier flame magic. Maybe it can knock down the spaceship."
"Huh?" Louise looked up with surprise.
Gramon looked at Louise: "What you said is true? But I heard the third daughter of the Vallière family has no talent. My son Kisio said she is [Louise Zero], isn't she?"
"Kisio!!!" Louise said angrily.
"Ah-choo..." Kisio from his hometown shuddered.
"Please believe me and Louise. It won't be worse if you fail anyway, right?" Sora said.
Gramon looked at him for a while: "Okay, let you try it. I will let the troops cooperate with you."
Sora smiled, lowered his head and took Louise's hand: "Let's go, Louise."
"Oh, are you really going to do it? What exactly are you going to do?" Louise asked doubtfully.
Sora took Louise aboard the griffin, comforted the little thing, and then the little thing took off with the two of them.
"Louise, did you see that spaceship?" Sora said softly.
"Look, I see—it's so big," Louise said.
"Well, your task is to attack that spaceship with [Explosion]."
"Oh!!?" Louise exclaimed. "Impossible—such a big spaceship."
"It's okay. You have to believe in yourself, Louise. You are the user of [Void]. Concentrate on chanting—I won't let them interfere with you. Attack that spaceship with all your strength."
Louise looked at Sora, and Sora smiled at her.
"Okay. You have to protect me, Sora."
"Don't worry. I will protect you."
"『Iolu Snu Phil Aaron Sakusha』『Beozs Yul Sbiel Cano O'Shea』『Gera Isa Winsho Ha Gal Peokon Iru...』" Louise closed her eyes and began to chant.
On the spaceship, the scout said: "Something is catching up—it's a griffin rider."
The general raised his binoculars and looked at Sora: "It's that troublesome guy, and there's a girl behind him. Is he using magic?"
"What?!" Kolomway also leaned over to look through the binoculars of the person beside him. "That is Louise from the Vallière family?"
"Lord Kolomway, do you know her?"
"Oh, she is called [Louise Zero], a disgrace to the Vallière family who failed to cast a single spell. Now there is no need to worry." Kolomway put down the binoculars and said.
"In that case, why did you bring her here?"
"Gunners, attack them for me," the general shouted.
The muzzles were adjusted again, targeting Sora and Louise in the air.
"Delph, don't relax. Stop them all."
"Leave it to your uncle, partner."
Sora stood on the back of the griffin, maintaining a delicate balance, holding the sword in both hands and watching the incoming shells.
Fireballs, wind blades, and water balls—Sora threw out all kinds of first-level magic, detonating and cutting the incoming shells in the air. Delphlink also used the stored magic to help Sora intercept and control the fireballs.
Boom boom boom boom—the sound of explosions was endless.
The little griffin was already within 200 meters of the spaceship.
"Have they not been defeated yet? The remaining fire dragon knights—attack and stop them." The general was very anxious, sensing the crisis from Louise's long chant.
"Don't worry so much, General. Let them come here, and I can control them when they get close to me for 30 meters. Use the power of [Void]." Kolomway raised his right hand, and a ring flashed on his middle finger with dangerous light.
"Lord Kolomway?"
"Let me contribute some strength to this battle, General. Or do you not believe in my strength?" Kolomway said.
"Okay, okay. Let them get closer—the gunners stop attacking, and the fire dragon knights stand by," the general said helplessly.
"That's right. Let you see the power of [Void]." Kolomway stepped onto the deck and looked at the approaching griffin from the spaceship.
How did the shelling stop? Sora was puzzled.
Two figures on the spaceship leaned out, and one of them stretched out his right hand to point at Sora and Louise.
A little closer, a little more. Kolomway.
Danger—what is the danger?
"That's it? Stop it—that's the water elf's ring," Delphlink suddenly shouted.
Sora's expression changed, and he yanked the rein of the griffin. The little thing drew an arc, went around a circle, and then hovered in place.
"What's the matter—why did they stop?" Kolomway opened his mouth in astonishment.
"Fire Dragon Knights, attack quickly," the general yelled loudly when he saw his boss's expression and knew he had messed up.
At this time, Louise opened her eyes, which were a little hollow, and raised her wand to aim at the huge spaceship.
A feeling of palpitation passed over everyone on the spaceship, and the fire dragons crawled on the deck anxiously, not daring to fly.
"EX—PLOXION." Louise waved her wand lightly.
A dazzling white light emitted from the tip of the wand and gradually spread—a ten-meter-diameter white light bombarded the deck of the spaceship. Then, "rumble rumble——" the sound of continuous explosions came from the place shrouded in white light, and a large hole was opened on the surface of the spaceship. It swayed and slid to one side.
"Damn it—everyone, prepare for the fall," the general yelled, grabbing the dazed Kolomway and tying him with a rope to a side post.
One side of the spaceship was pierced by Louise's [Explosion], and the flames continued. Under the impact, it lost its balance and floating force, falling to the other side.
Louise came back to her senses, startled by the falling spaceship. "Wow, Sora—this, this is what I did?"
Sora nodded: "Yeah, Louise did a good job. Now they can't escape."
The people on the ground cheered as they watched the spaceship fall, and quickly rushed up under Gramon's order, preparing to surround and capture the people on the spaceship.
"I didn't expect it to be really successful."
"The three daughters of the Vallière family are amazing." Gramon sighed. "My son, huh." Kisio in his hometown trembled again.
"Bam—"
A few minutes later, the spacecraft fell heavily to the ground.
The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed into the drop zone and captured the fallen enemy soldiers one by one.
"Damn—ah, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly there was the sound of disputes and fighting, and the exclamation of soldiers.
Sora rode the little thing and approached slowly.
After the smoke and dust cleared, Kolomway looked ferocious, stretched out his right hand, and the ring gleamed.
More than a dozen Tolistine soldiers suddenly turned around and stabbed their comrades in the stomach behind them.
"I can't be caught—I won't let you catch me." Kolomway approached slowly, and the controlled soldiers slashed at the surrounding people. The soldiers were frightened by this magic and ran out in panic.
"Partner, that is the ring of the water elf, which can control people's movements. Be careful," Delphlink reminded.
"So, he is the leader of the rebel army, Kolomway who stole the ring?" Sora's eyes moved. "Delph, can you extend the attack to more than 30 meters?"
"I don't know, but I can try?" Delphlink said.
"I see—let's try it."
"Sora?" Louise looked at Sora who stood up.
"It's okay—it will be fine in a while."
Sora agitated the magic power of his whole body.
"Haxiu Wendy Wendy Lie." [Great Wind Blade]
With a flash of light on the blade of Delphlink, it swallowed the magic.
Sora hovered in the air, making the little thing float in the air.
Kolomway below was just a small dot in his eyes. Sora narrowed his eyes and stared at the black dot.
Concentrate and focus. Imagine the wings of a fly on a tree 100 meters away slowly, slowly, and clearly unfolding in front of your eyes. The line of sight seemed to have changed, and the mind focused on Kolomway's right hand and the ring on his right hand.
That area seemed to have really appeared in front of his eyes, clearly visible.
It's now—go, wind blade slash.
Sora swung a sword from the air.
Delphlink's brilliance flashed, and when Sora swung his sword, the wind blade roared out.
"Huh—boom—"
The cyan wind blade fell from the sky and cut off Kolomway's outstretched right hand, blood flying high.
"Ah, ah—my, the power of [Void]!" Kolomway knelt down on the ground, holding his broken right hand and screaming in pain.
The controlled soldiers were stunned for a moment, then let go of their swords in a daze. "What have I done?" He covered his face in pain.
Sora let the little thing fall, jumped off the griffin, took off the ring of the water elf on Kolomway's broken arm, and put it in his bosom.
"Return—return it to me." Kolomway writhed on the ground, stretching out his left hand ferociously toward Sora.
Sora looked at him coldly. Delphlink turned around and knocked him unconscious with the back of the blade.
"Someone come—tie him up and let the military doctor rescue him. If he dies, it will be a loss," Sora said.
The surrounding soldiers regained their composure and continued to work on the captives.
An old man with silver-gray hair stood upright and was tied up by two soldiers, walking in front of Sora.
"Captain, this man says he is a general and must see you," the soldier reported.
"You are the commander of Albion? You've caused us a lot of trouble," Sora said.
"Hmph—if it wasn't for Kolomway's stupidity, I might not have lost." The corner of the general's mouth twitched slightly.
"The reality is that you are captured, General. Will Albion redeem you?" Sora asked.
The general's face darkened: "Those nobles will not pay the five hundred gold coins for me."
"Five hundred gold coins? Are you a baron as a general?"
"Exactly—huh, those guys." The general looked ugly.
"Okay then—I appreciate you very much. I'll pay your 500 gold coins. How about you work for me?" Sora smiled.
"You? Do you have an army of 100,000 for me to command?" The general squinted at Sora.
"Well, not now—but there may be a chance in the future. Do you want to trust me this time?"
"Hmph—I think you're being polite, so I'll take a look first," the general said.
"Okay—I hear you. I'll keep this person. Go ahead."
The two soldiers looked at each other: "Understood, Captain." The general was led away.
"So, what's your name? I'm Sora, captain of the Tolistine Griffin team."
"Gandalf. Gandalf Merlin—ex-General of the Albion Expedition."
