Volume 6 Chapter 136
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 136: Just Like You
The enormous blue dragon, upon seeing Xia Yi, fell into utter astonishment, even beginning to doubt whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Because this was none other than Xia Yi’s blue dragon maid…
Atiya!
Why would Her Highness the Princess be here?
She was dumbfounded.
“Princess, ”
Atiya was about to raise a question.
Xia Yi quickly raised her finger, signaling Atiya not to say too much.
“Shh! Atiya, help me out!”
“Hmm?”
Atiya tilted her head, not understanding what Xia Yi was trying to do, suddenly jumping out to oppose her, wanting to fight?
She looked at Xia Yi, then at the Maginot military, and began to think.
Could it be…
Oh. I get it!
Atiya suddenly understood.
Her princess must have been threatened by those despicable bastards and forced to oppose her.
That had to be it. Otherwise, why would Her Highness the Princess ask for her help?
Those damn bastards were bullying her princess.
“Ughhhhhhh!!”
Now Atiya was truly angry. A furious dragon roar erupted from her throat. Along with her emotional surge, terrifying thunderbolts fell from the sky, continuously exploding across the earth.
Surrounded by lightning, the blue dragon flapped her wings and slowly rose into the air.
She would annihilate every last person here, leaving no one behind.
“Good, just like that. Act as fiercely as you can!”
Xia Yi rejoiced inwardly. Atiya was so clever, she understood her meaning after just one sentence.
“All of you will die!” Atiya said viciously.
“Are we… doomed?”
Lying on the ground, unable to move, Wallace felt deeply unwilling. He would die at the evil dragon’s hands after all.
The other Maginot soldiers experienced the gap in strength, a feeling of powerlessness rising in their hearts before the blue dragon.
It seemed no one could change the outcome.
Just as Atiya was about to fly out and crush the Maginot soldiers herself, Xia Yi, perfectly timed, used incantation restraint to cast a wall of ice, blocking Atiya’s path.
“Xia Yi, what are you…!?” Daisy’s eyes widened.
“Run! Let me hold her off alone!” Xia Yi shouted to every soldier with a voice full of resolve. “Live! Don’t die here!”
“But…”
“Daisy! Don’t let everyone sacrifice themselves in vain! As the commander, even a moment’s hesitation will cost everyone!”
“…”
Daisy lowered her head, her fingernails nearly piercing her palms.
But soon, she made a decision.
“Everyone, retreat immediately. Those who can move, help those who can’t onto the vehicles. Don’t waste Xia Yi’s sacrifice!”
Hearing this, the Maginot soldiers sprang into action.
They dragged everyone who couldn’t move onto the vehicles, and using the beast-drawn carts, carried all the soldiers away from there.
Wallace couldn’t accept the situation. He desperately leaned out of the window.
He saw, beyond the ice wall, the tiny figure of Xia Yi confronting the terrifying dragon.
That tragic scene was etched into everyone’s heart.
“Evil kinswoman, if you want to harm them, you’ll have to step over my corpse!!”
Like a manga protagonist, Xia Yi declared before the evil dragon:
“I will fight to the very end, never yielding. This is the proud glory of Maginot Fortress!”
…
…
“Phew… they’re finally gone. I don’t have to say those awkward lines anymore.”
Watching the Maginot military finally leave, Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief and put away her staff.
She looked up and smiled at the blue dragon.
“Thank you, Atiya. Our cooperation was flawless!”
“Cooperation?” Atiya tilted her head.
“Yes! Your acting just now was impeccable. I didn’t expect you to have such talent. I underestimated you.”
“Acting?”
Atiya tilted her head again.
She tried to think once more, but this time her brain overloaded and froze.
Oh well. If she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t. It seemed Her Highness the Princess was happy, that was enough.
“Your Highness! So you’re alright! I was so worried!!”
Atiya returned to her human form, ran to Xia Yi’s side, beaming with joy, her tail beginning to wag.
“I’m fine, I’m fine! I’m fine!”
Xia Yi felt that Atiya really was like a big dog.
“Atiya, why are you here? And acting like an evil dragon outside Maginot Fortress?”
“It’s a long story. Back then in the thick fog, wasn’t I covering Her Highness’s escape?”
“Yes, that’s right. Thanks to you, I caught up with Balan and entered the interior of the Elf Kingdom.” Xia Yi nodded.
“After seeing Her Highness leave, I tangled with those strange giants and dragons for a while, then found a chance to escape. I flew for a very long time before getting out of the fog. I didn’t know where I was, so I just kept flying and flying, and eventually I saw a huge fortress in my field of vision.”
“I was very hungry then, so I flew into the huge fortress and found some food.”
“The soldiers in the fortress attacked me as soon as they saw me. I was so hungry I was dizzy, and I didn’t control my strength well… I might have used a little too much force…”
“That’s ‘little’, how little is ‘a little’?” Xia Yi asked.
“Maybe just destroyed a few streets?”
“…” Xia Yi was speechless.
“After I ate my fill, I flew away and found a place to rest. But they kept coming to bother me.”
“So I drove back the soldiers in the fortress, then flew back again to scare them off, telling them to stop troubling me. But they didn’t listen. After a while, they came again… This happened several times.”
Atiya put her hands on her hips with a clear conscience, seemingly unaware of how outrageous her actions were.
“This time I wanted to teach them a lesson, but I happened to run into Her Highness… Well, that’s about it!”
“Hahaha, just like you, Atiya.”
Xia Yi felt helpless, but with Atiya, such things didn’t seem strange. Considering how Atiya usually handled missions, it even seemed perfectly reasonable.
Any other member of the royal maid corps wouldn’t have ended up like this, becoming a boss that respawns in the wild.
“Atiya.”
“Hmm?”
“Hold out your hand.”
“Like this?”
“Yes. Lend me your body for a moment.”
Xia Yi smiled and did something that left Atiya astonished.
“Your Highness, what are you doing?!”
