Chapter 651 Take care

  Just as Evie had predicted, the monsters came at them with almost the same pattern of attack as what she had seen in her vision.

The smallest and weakest monsters rushed at them first then slowly followed by the bigger ones as they pushed forward as they tried to overwhelm the invading armies. She had thought Gideon – who was now the commander that was ordering and sending the monster troops out – might surprise them with a different approach, the approach that she was dreading the most. That he would unleash all the most powerful monsters at them all in one go to surprise them. But… thankfully, that did not happen. She was not sure what was happening on his end, but she was thankful for small miracles.

This attack he used heavily favoured Evie and her army. Because with this, everyone will have the time to adjust themselves from entering into the wall of darkness. Evie had planned that if Gideon had gone all out on them right off the bat, she would have to use herself to light up the abyss.

So, when she realised that Gideon had employed this rather kind attack on them, it was such a relief. With this, she could use her power later on in the war, once they were up fighting against the deadliest monsters. For now, the light faes’ light coupled with the dragon’s fires were more than enough to deal with these small fries.

The fact that Gideon used the exact same tactics he had used two days ago gave her an even stronger hope in this plan of hers on succeeding. Because there was no way that Gideon who was so experienced in fighting and war, only know one pattern of attack. He was the dark fae crown prince and he had participated in multiple wars against the monsters before, though it might not be a war this large.

For Evie, this only meant one thing. Gideon was not being fully consumed by the darkness of the abyss. At least up till now. There must still be some consciousness left in him. And if they were to be optimistic in their thinking, this same strategy he was using again now, was his way to help them defeat the monsters. Perhaps, she could even think that he might be sending them a message through this. By using the exact same tactics, he might be telling them that he did not intend to fight them but was being forced to.

It was true that this tactic could exhaust them before they could even reach the deadlier monsters. However, this was so much better than having all the deadly monsters attacking them all at once right at the very start in her opinion. Her soldiers needed all the time they can get to be able to adjust to fighting in the dark first and foremost. Even she and her dragons needed it as this was all their first time fighting in pitch black darkness.

The battle went on much better than she had expected. Klauz’s soldiers were no doubt truly strong, she had to give them that. The ice dragons also seemed to know exactly what they were doing. It was clear that they were experienced when it comes to battles and wars. Which was another great relief to Evie. They seemed to be really well trained in destroying monsters.

Vera had yet to learn how to cast the ice that her dragons had generated to trap the monsters by just her clenching her fists. So the battlefield was now covered with spikes of ice crystals.

But despite all these good news so far, Evie knew there was no time for them to relax. War was war. Sooner or later, just like in her vision, everything will become much harder.

And she was right. The farther they pushed in, the fiercer they would need to fight. And soon, the blood of their soldiers begun to dye the dark ground red.

”Evie…” Queen Beatrice spoke up for the first time in hours. “I’m going down to fight alongside them.”

Evie threw a quick glance over her shoulder at her mother-in-law before she focused her gaze forward again. She knew she could not stop the queen from going forward to fight. She somehow expected she would ask to go to the ground soon.

”I understand, mother.” Evie nodded, understanding how hard it felt to just sit back there and watch. “But please, be careful.”

Beatrice smiled. “Send me over to your vampire men. I’ll fight alongside them.” She said and Evie secretly felt relieved inside. Even though she would not stop her mother-in-law from fighting, she could not help but still be worried for her. But with this arrangement, it allowed her to feel a little more reassured.

Having Queen Beatrice stay with her men would be a good idea. Because she knew that her men would be able to protect her and vice versa.

”But first, I need you to pick that wounded light fae to replace me. I know you are very perceptive to your surroundings. But someone needs to be here as a backup, my dear. Just at least to be an eye behind your back.” Beatrice added and Evie once again nodded obediently.

She asked Onyx to head towards the light fae who had her leg heavily injured first. Once they got her, Queen Beatrice instructed her to watch over Evie’s back while she was healing. The light fae understood the assignment and swore to watch over her queen’s back. Her leg was poisoned from one of the monster’s bites. So it was going to take a long while for her magic to heal herself. She was certain she would have died within a few moments as she was unable to stand anymore and even one of her wings were already torn. So the queen picking her had just literally saved her life. She swore to stay vigilant and made sure to protect her even just by spotting threats that could threaten the queen’s safety.

Once the light fae was settled, Onyx moved to where the vampires were, incinerating monsters along its way there.

”Please take care,” Evie told Beatrice and the queen smiled.

”You too, my dear.” And then she jumped down and gracefully landed on a certain higher level monster. Her blade had cleanly sliced the monster into half as her feet touched the ground.
