Themis, The Flower of Justice
Chapter 28 — Magic Knights (5)

“”WAAAAAAAHHHH!!!””

The spectators exclaimed to see such an amazing duel. They were all amazed by the power displayed by Luminas, as he had defeated one of the most respected knights in this residence.

‘Despite his young age, the strength that Princess Luminas showed was incredible!’

‘So this is the next generation of the Kingdom of Medeia? Really, with the existence of the Princess in this kingdom, it is a blessing!’

They were all overjoyed at the potential displayed by Luminas. They assumed that Luminas would be the strongest man in the kingdom, not in the whole world. It was only a matter of time before Luminas became the strongest.

As they were all being glued to their thoughts regarding Luminas, from a distance Luminas' body looked a little shaky. But no one was aware of it, even including Javier who was nearby.

Luminas felt that now his vision was dark, he felt his body was no longer powerful. Feeling that it was not strong enough to support his body, Luminas immediately collapsed to the ground.

“Mr Princess?!”

“Mr Princess, wake up!”

‘I.... Too much wearing... Magic energy..’

Before he completely lost his consciousness, Luminas saw the people who were approaching him looking panicked. But no matter how loud they shouted, Luminas could not hear him. His consciousness grew increasingly blurry, then he fell asleep.

[6 Days Later After Selena Leaves her Residence]

[Windsor Castle]

Windsor Castle was a large palace, which served as a defense of the second line of Medea. After the City of Arland, to continue its conquest Chronos had to occupy Windsor Castle first.

Unlike the City of Arland, Windsor Castle is a fortress that is devoted to countering enemy attacks. In the vicinity of Windsor Castle there are many military forts that are always willing to send reinforcements to Windsor.

Likewise the town behind Windsor is a town that is part of the Dukedom Argaient. The witches as well as the soldiers from the Argaient Family were ready to be deployed at any time towards Windsor Castle.

So conquering Windsor Castle was not easy for Chronos' army. Before they took Windsor, they had to first conquer all the fortresses around Windsor, to avoid the disturbances that would be caused by the fortifications while trying to conquer Windsor.

Over the past six days, the Chronos army has moved to attack the surrounding fortresses, of the 6 fortifications around Windsor, 4 of which have been charred to ashes.

Although Windsor's defense was strong and formed a formation with surrounding fortresses, the Chronos army was so powerful that it was trivial to them.

The situation of the Medeia Kingdom was not good enough, they suffered quite severe damage. In the process of destroying the fort, not a single soldier survived or was taken prisoner by the other party. They were all killed by the Chronos army.

The abomination of the Chronos army was heard to the ears of the Medean warriors. The news really ignited the anger of the Medeans, many of whom swore to exterminate the Chronos soldiers even though they had to die.

Because the soldiers were not afraid of death, the Chronos soldiers suffered more severe losses than Medea when she was conquering a fortress. The Medean warriors were determined, even though they were going to die, at least they had to bring one of the Chronos warriors with them.

Even though they were already determined to die, the current battlefield situation remained not good. In the back row, many soldiers were seriously injured and died from these wounds.

With wounded bodies, they looked at their comrades who had fallen earlier than them with desperate gazes. He could not even feel grateful for successfully surviving the war this time.

In this bleak war situation from a distance they heard vaguely a roar of horse treads that were heading here. As the voice came from the back line, they seemed calm as reinforcements finally arrived.

On this frontline over the past few days, due to the numerous fortresses being destroyed at one time, Medeia had considerable difficulty in providing resources. Although the resources were supported by the Dukedom Argaient, they still felt lacking.

This is because the formations made to form a connected defense of the surrounding fortresses consume a lot of resources. They had to ensure that each fort had sufficient military strength, food, and medicine in the face of the Chronos army.

In order for the fort not to collapse so easily, of course resources would continue to be sent from the Dukedom through Windsor. Even so, the collapse of the fortresses was too fast that Medeia also had difficulty in managing their resources.

They looked at the smoke made by the horses with hopeful gazes. They hoped that there would be medicines as well as soldiers replacing them towards the frontlines. But—

*DRAPDRAP!

If considered carefully, the one that emerged from behind the smoke was not their ally, but an enemy that was moving towards them very quickly.

They were all shocked by the presence of the enemy that suddenly appeared from the back line. Moreover, the rear line now lacks strength because most of the troops are sent to the front line. Now left in the back line are only the wounded or even the dying, and a few soldiers assigned to guard the wounded.

They all felt desperate as the army got closer. Especially if the person leading the force was a bald man with a sinister face, Farmith.

Farmith is famous both in allied soldiers and enemy soldiers. He is known as a loyal hunting dog that will hunt its prey until its prey is captured or died. Even though he was only a mere aide, the strength of his possessions was extremely powerful.

The strength of his was above most peak-level aura knights, as well as the calmness and consideration that Farmith possessed made him able to complete all the tasks given to him.

“Kill them all! The masters of Medeia are being taken care of by our masters in the front row, so don't worry and kill them all!”

“”WAAAA!!””

The sentence given by Farmith completely dispelled the vague fear he felt from them. Of course they would be afraid, because they attacked the center of the enemy camp with only minimal soldiers. Farmith's presence in the army set the soldiers on fire with passion. Now they looked like starving stray dogs ready to prey on their enemies.

The Medeia soldiers stared at Farmith's troops with desperate gazes. They feel that their death is confirmed. The ones here were only wounded people and some guard soldiers. Even the aura knights who were at the backline were very few, making it impossible to fight against thousands of Chronos warriors.

At a time when everyone was feeling desperate and unable to take up their weapons, there was a single aura knight whose body was filled with bandages was holding a sword with one hand. His body was so badly injured that the hand he could use was now only one.

The hand he used to wield the sword trembled violently, he also felt despair with the current situation and the fear of death spread throughout his body. But, even so he felt that he had to fight and defend his homeland from invaders. Then he closed his eyes.

‘Alisha, forgive your sister who could not keep her promise to return home safely, but...’.

When he opened his eyes again, in an instant the broken gaze from him turned into the gaze of the one who was ready to die.

‘I will not let these invaders reach the capital and hurt you!’

“DON'T BE AFRAID OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS! NEVER STOP FIGHTING EVEN IF YOU FEEL HOPELESS! REMEMBER, THESE SOWERS ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR KINGDOM! REMEMBER OUR FAMILIES AND ALSO OUR COMRADES WHO DIED CRUELLY AT THEIR HANDS!”

“”WAAA!!!!!””

With a single word from the soldier turned this entire desperate situation into despair. A glimmer of hope for life was visible from the eyes of the Medean warriors.

“!!!”

‘What the fuck they are...’

Farmith was surprised by the sudden change in the atmosphere of the fight.

‘Some time ago their gazes were like a cattle ready to be slaughtered... But now..’

Farmith was perplexed as to what excited the Medeia soldiers to return to this desperate situation. He did not know it because he could not hear the speech of a soldier who was willing to die to protect his loved ones.

‘However.... Although you currently look ready to fight, but the current situation has not changed.’.

A smile appeared on Farmith's lips. He felt that although the Medean soldiers were burning now, it did not change much in the course of the war.

The Farmith army was far superior in any case, compared to the wounded Medeia warriors, the Farmith warriors were still in their prime condition.

“SERANGGG!!!”

Both armies also clashed. Although their morals were on the wind, the Medean soldiers with such body condition made no difference. From the horse, the Farmith warriors easily slaughtered dozens of soldiers who were struggling in this hopeless situation.

“ARGHH”

“UWAAA”

Screams of pain erupted everywhere. The Medeian soldiers could be slaughtered without resistance. Even the warriors and aura knights who were still excellent were defeated easily. However, the fighting spirit possessed by the Medea army did not extinguish.

“Ughh!”

“Argh!”

Screams were also heard from the Chronos army. The Medeia warriors they had slaughtered, suddenly stood back up and stabbed them from behind. Even the Medeian warrior whose heart had been pierced with a spear was still alive and capable of wielding the enemy's spear to the point of being immobile. He looked at his enemies like a beast.

“NOW!!!”

“HAAAAAA!!”

A group of warriors who rose again woke up and pierced the aura knight whose spear was being held. The Chronos soldiers were confused by what was going on right now. Just a moment ago they made sure that they actually killed them. But right now, although the injuries caused by Chronos' army still looked fresh, they still seemed ready to fight.

The sight of the soldiers resisting their deaths gave Farmith and her soldiers goosebumps. Although he witnessed this with his own two eyes, he still did not know what was really going on.

But this only limited to making Farmith surprised and slightly shook it. As expected of a hunting dog, he quickly regained his composure and led his army back. He calmly ordered the same thing, killing them all.

‘As I suspected..’.

Farmith surmised that this was only a small resistance before they actually died, and her conjecture was correct. Moments later, the dead soldiers fell back to the ground.

Seeing the soldiers coming back to life dead once more, the Farmith warriors smiled in satisfaction, they slaughtered the remaining soldiers as before.

However there were some soldiers who were dissatisfied from being injured by a pile of corpses. The soldiers who did not receive it looked at the bodies of the soldiers who had come back to life with contempt. Then they stabbed the soldiers who had died many times and also stomped on them contemptuously.

“What happened to you guys huh?! Aren't you guys gonna come back to life?”

The soldiers were actually harassing a warrior who died honorably for protecting their homeland.

The surviving soldiers stared with murderous gazes at the soldiers from Chronos. Although they were angry, they were unable to do much.

‘The injuries I received were severe, but... IF IT IS NECESSARY TO DIE, THEN I WILL DRAG THE BASTARD WHO HARASSED MY BROTHER-IN-LAW!!’

A soldier advances with fighting spirit to kill his enemy who has insulted his dead comrade. But

*STAB!

A spear pierced through his body.

“ARGHHH!”

Blood gushed from his mouth as well as his wounds. With a mouth full of blood, he groaned desperately in pain. The soldier immediately collapsed to the ground because from the beginning his body condition was already bad. However, he was currently still able to live because he was a high-level aura knight.

The sight of the knight aura was completely blurry and looked dark. If he slept this time, then he would instantly die.

‘Alisha... Older brother... Really do... Apologize..’

“Really, the Medeia warriors are really hard people to kill huh!”

“True, even though his life was at the tip of a horn, he still refused to die!”

The Chronos soldiers looked at the dying aura knight with a look of disdain.

The dying aura knight is still alive today because he wants to see his sister again. He also wanted to see the bastards who had insulted his comrades feel the consequences.

The eyes of those aura knights became increasingly heavy, and gradually began to shut down.

‘Haha... The closer I approach death, the more I demand... However, it seems that none of those desires came true.’.

When he thought about it, he heard a woman's voice that seemed to be glancing right at his ear, he heard the voice very clearly. It sounds like asking—

“What's your name, brave warrior?”

“Who... Ye? Is... You are the Goddess of death? My name is... Allen,”

“Brave soldier Allen, I will remember your courage for life. Your name and all the warriors here will be remembered in the history books and known as heroes. Oh, and I'm not a Death Goddess who's gonna pick you up.”.

The dying aura knight, Allen, even though he was dying he could still hear the voice of the woman heard. However, now he felt an alien energy seem to enter him.

‘What... This it? It feels warm ...’

When he felt that feeling, the scene before his eyes became clearer. Slowly, Allen's vision returned to normal.

He was surprised, he who was on the verge of Death before and could not see anymore, now his vision felt clearer than before.

Then he looked around, on his body seemed a clean silver-colored energy was enveloping him. He kept looking at the silver energy and was looking for where the source came from.

As he was searching for the source, he saw a beautiful silver-haired woman floating in the air.

“Who... You...?”

Even though his vision had returned, it seemed that his other body condition felt like before. Right now even to speak was a difficult thing for Allen.

“Sorry, no matter how hard I try, I cannot heal you and can only delay your death,”

The silver-haired lady who was hovering looked towards Allen.

“It's okay... If given the chance... I want to see the end of those who have.... Fighter..”

Allen said softly to the woman.

“If that is the case, I will grant your wish,”

“What... You really... Death goddess...?”

“As I said before, I am not the Goddess of death who will pick you up. But..”

“???”

“I am the Goddess of death who will take the lives of your enemies,”

The silver-haired woman was Queen Selena Argaient. After six days had passed, Selena finally joined the battlefield!
