Four female magus figures could be seen flying across the hill. Each and every one of them were veterans of the battlefield and the wives of a hero. Rosia, Silica, Camila, and Grisa; all four beautiful women with different ethnicities, and all wearing the same combat uniform under the same white mourning garb.
The first and oldest wife, a pale-skinned slender woman with short glossy dark hair, Rosia who was the vice commander of her late husband's battalion took out an exquisite longbow. She then proceeded to retrieve three arrows that crackled with lightning and fit them to her bow, firing at each of the dark elf magus to get their attention.
Standing right next to her, the second wife Silica, an intimidating yet alluring dark-skinned figure and trainer of the battalion spun her thick metal spear around. While doing so, she made a provocative gesture with her hand, clearly challenging the dark elf group.
The third wife Camila was the quiet one amongst the four, and was also the science expert of the group. Wearing square-rimmed metal glasses, she simultaneously exuded the aura of a scholar and warrior at the same time as she brandished the two mechanical swords in her hand.
Meanwhile, the fourth wife Grisa, fair brown skin and curly hair that reached her shoulders. This berserker was full of smiles with a hint of madness as she wielded a huge ax, swinging it around as if it was made of feathers.
The four of them, two Half Moon and two Crescent Moon magus, were all ready to fight the dark elf group. And sure enough, their unexpected arrival managed to trigger some reactions from the other side.
"Hah! What's this now!!" A disdainful snort sounded in the air. "Just four human magus won't be able to change the outcome of this battle!" The voice of the dark elf grand magus' blazing spirit soul echoed once again. He immediately ordered his three magus subordinates to attack the newcomers, and then prompted the fifty saint level dark elf warriors to accompany him to finish the job.
Receiving the order, the platoon of dark elf warriors quickly took action. They utilized their advantage in numbers and quickly covered the sky above Emery and Fuxi.
Then, much to Emery's surprise, his senior suddenly threw him in a certain direction while saying, "Catch him!"
Before Emery could process what had just happened, he felt his body turn wet as a strong current of water welcomed him and cushioned his landing. A familiar female figure appeared before his eyes the next moment. She, who was the person who had caught him, shouted towards the Eastern Sage.
"Father! This isn't fair! I want to fight too!"
The reply came fast, as loud as the question.
"No! Your job is to protect him!"
Upon hearing that, she could only click her tongue in annoyance.
The familiar figure was none other than Nara, the Merfolk girl and Eastern Sage's adopted daughter.
After giving instructions, Fuxi quickly turned his attention to the current situation. Immediately, he began to cast several spells to hold down the dark elf grand magus and deal with the approaching dark elf warriors.
However, despite Fuxi's powerful spells, there were still quite a few dark elf warriors who managed to get past him. Unfortunately for them, another figure had been waiting, ready to block them.
A beautiful female whose figure moved like a shadow. Lord Izta's fifth and youngest wife, Yuria.
All five wives of the late Izta had come to provide assistance.
Before Emery could ponder about how they knew about the plan and its location, he saw hundreds of clay soldiers rushing from the trees attacking the dark elf warriors from behind, and driving the elven army into utter chaos.
From behind those soldiers, a familiar figure came to view. A young man that Emery knew very well, Julian Kaesar. His presence also explained Emery's earlier question, as he was the only other person who knew of this plan.
In an instant, the battle that had been one-sidedly tipped in favor of the elves was turned upside down. It suddenly transformed into an all-out war between humans and elves, as both sides fought fiercely with everything they had.
The second wife Silica could be seen ferociously attacking a Half Moon dark elf magus, while Camila and Grisa respectively handled the other two dark elf magus.
[Immortal Gate]
All five wives had secret divine techniques that would make them a step closer to being on par against their opponents. However, the real advantage actually came from the first wife, Rosia.
The pale-skinned woman was proven to be and had always been a great tactician for their battalion. Coupled with excellent marksmanship and powerful lightning arrows that could move in unfathomable ways, she was akin to a maestro as she guided the battlefield as she saw fit.
"Grisa, to the right!"
"Camilla, push forward!!"
"Silica, hold on to your position!!"
Against the incredible teamwork showcased by their opponents, the dark elf magus found themselves overwhelmed. They continued to be pushed back until a thunderous blast was heard just before an arrow sprouted from the chest of one of the half moon elf magus. The elf did not even get the chance to be stunned as his head was mercilessly removed from his body by a familiar greataxe.
"That is for my Lord Izta!" shouted Camilla as she gave an unsettlingly wide smile, her face splattered with blood.
With that kill, the fragile balance was immediately broken.
At the same time, the situation on the ground wasn't looking good for the elven side either. Not only had they still not been able to catch Emery, a third of the dark elf saints had fallen; either dead or incapacitated.
Seeing that things were once again heading towards his defeat, the dark elf grand magus decided to issue the call of retreat. His eyes stared at the Eastern Sage and gritted his teeth hatefully.
"I will not forget this!!! I will come back for all of you!!"
The moment they heard the retreat order, the dark elf warriors quickly broke their formation and made their return to the spaceship. While they were doing so, the remaining dark elf magus dealt with the attacks thrown their way.
Unwilling to let them go just like that, Rosia quickly nocked her bow and fired a row of lightning arrows at the slowly ascending spaceship. In response, the ship moved its turrets and cannons, and shot a vicious bombardment at her, forcing her to take cover.
"Huh!! Grey skin cowards!!' shouted Nara, still trying to catch the fleeing elf warriors.
With the dark elf saints gone, Emery realized that Yuria had somehow disappeared as well. However, just as he was about to ask Nara, something startling happened.
All of a sudden, the ascending elven spaceship startled tilting to one side while shaking violently.
Without anyone knowing, Yuria has managed to sneak inside the elven ship among all the warriors and sabotage it, plunging the spaceship downwards and crashing it into the ground.
If the grand magus spirit form's face could show color, it would certainly be red with rage at the realization that his means of escape had just become scrap metal.
With nowhere to go, half an hour later, Fuxi was finally able to defeat the grand magus and destroy its spirit soul. Seeing their commander removed from this world, the rest of the dark elves immediately surrendered.
The vicious battle finally ended, and Emery could clearly see all the dark elf corpses strewn about across the hill. Even though they didn't obtain their purpose in coming here in the end, Emery and the others did at least gain and feel some sort of solace amidst the pain of losing their loved ones.
However, it was still not enough to make up for the loss of their dearest lord and closest friends.
Far from enough.
