Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1553 - 86: Myth
Previously on Demi-human Girls Completion Manual...
Rafael’s heart was constantly filled with an extreme sense of unease.
Perhaps it was when the Human Alliance launched a full assault on the Dragon Court Army, or perhaps it was even earlier, as early as when Fisher and Moli left the Dragon Court to head to the so-called "Demon Dynasty," she had felt the same.
This feeling of unease intensified when she scanned the opposing army but did not see the previously invincible General Barbatos among them.
At this moment, she wished for that dreadful enemy to appear before her, because if such a formidable enemy wasn’t here, it could only mean they had gone to Fisher, which Rafael did not want to see.
Objectively speaking, the two of them displayed a remarkable tacit understanding in such matters, both hoping that their own side would attract the enemy, thereby making the other side safer.
But right now, the opposing Human Alliance, under the orders of Barbatos and Agares, had already launched an attack on their stationed Southern Branch Mountain Range, forcing Rafael to focus entirely on the enemy’s assault before her.
"Rustle!"
"Queen! They’ve started their attack, please give the command!"
"Queen, they’ve moved, what should we do?"
"Don’t rush!!"
Amidst the torrential rain, the Dragon Court troops on the Southern Branch Mountain Range were already setting up a physical and magical offense, yet Rafael continued to hold back, waiting until the humans below used cannons and magic, followed by a clash with knights and Dragon Court soldiers, without Barbatos appearing.
The presence of Barbatos lingered like a dark cloud over her heart, and after a moment of hesitation, Rafael decided to personally enter the fray to ascertain Barbatos’ situation.
If Barbatos were in the enemy lines, she would face him directly to prevent Fisher from confronting him; otherwise, if he was truly absent, even though the Dragon Court Army was outnumbered, with Rafael, the Fourteenth Rank Queen, they still would not be anyone’s match.
"...Near Guard, follow my command, stand guard and be on high alert. Lar, charge with me, relay my orders at all times!"
"Queen, you mustn’t, that Barbatos..."
"Boom!"
The generals nearby wore grim expressions, trying to stop Rafael’s move, but only Lar beside her remained silent, pulling up his cloak and mask, preparing to follow Rafael. The next second, thunder rumbled from the sky, illuminating the faces of many generals with pale light, while Rafael summoned her lance with a "clang," observing the battlefield below her,
"All corps commanders, keep your teams in order, do not descend into chaos, focus on preventing the enemy from entering the Southern Branch Mountain Range as your first priority... Lar, let’s go!"
"Yes, Rafael."
With that, Rafael leapt from the mountain with a "boom," while Lar glanced at the many generals beside him, donned his goggles, and plunged from the high altitude.
Accompanied by countless rain curtains, they descended without any protective measures until a hundred meters above the ground when Rafael flicked her lance toward Lar behind her, and Lar leveraged off the lance tip, transforming into a blade storm akin to a spinning top, tearing into the many magical knights ahead.
"Boom!"
Yet the initial assault led by Lar was merely a diversion to capture attention, as the Dragon Queen behind him slammed her lance down, sending knights in the front line flying away, limbs and blood splattering, wrapped in fiery flames, shocking the human soldiers who witnessed it from afar.
Of course, among them were many veterans from four and a half years ago who had participated in the Dragon Court war, not panicking. The commander of this vanguard was someone who had followed Barbatos in the earlier battles, watching Rafael wreak havoc in the army formation, he merely furrowed his brows, patting the shoulder of his attendant beside him, saying,
"Bring those cardinals, I’m going to use them."
"Yes, commander!"
"And, notify General Barbatos, that Dragon Queen has entered the battlefield again..."
"Yes, but commander, the communication officer reported earlier about the situation here, but... things are chaotic at the main camp, saying they couldn’t locate General Barbatos."
"What?!"
This commander remained unfazed by the powerful Dragon Queen charging through them, but hearing about the sudden disappearance of their chief general stirred his emotions, he quickly grabbed his attendant’s mouth, swallowed hard, watching others bring boxes of cardinals, urgently said,
"This matter must not be revealed to others, once spoken, it could cause a massive collapse..."
The attendant gave a bitter smile, nodding reluctantly, but it’s manageable being far away; however, the main camp might face significant challenges.
"Buzzing!"
"Rafael, it’s those strange machines!"
Upon hearing Lar’s reminder, Rafael turned her head and saw countless dark machines rising into the sky, bearing down oppressively, she frowned, using the magic inscribed on her lance to resist, yet despite fierce flame burns, those cardinals remained undamaged, continuing to fly towards them.
Still not appearing, Barbatos, it seems he truly went to Fisher...
