Chapter 84: Her Excellency Isabella Is the Least Likely to Surrender to the Demon Race!
Raleigh Collin, a powerful mage at the Superlative Level, is a spellcaster studying at the Cloud City Wizard Association, specializing in Arcane magic.
After the demon race invaded, he bravely gave up further study with his teacher in Cloud City to become an epic mage, and instead returned to his hometown, the Republic of Seychelles, to join the Holy Alliance as a defender on the Western Anti-demon Great Wall.
This Anti-demon Great Wall, along with three fortresses forming a defensive line, was considered impenetrable until a month ago when the Demon Army suddenly showed its sharp fangs.
Just like they knew the strength of the Anti-demon Great Wall and the three fortresses, the wicked demon race easily countered all the tricks of the Holy Alliance, even repelling reinforcements from the Northman Knight Order!
The Western Front quickly began to crumble.
As the frontline soldiers of the anti-demon defense, Raleigh Collin had no choice but to abandon the defense line and, amidst chaos, rally over ten Elite Level human soldiers to fight while retreating.
But their retreat speed was nowhere near as fast as the Demon Army’s advance on the Western front.
Quickly retreated into Raleigh Collin within Vera Plain, continuously encountering small scattered groups, some human, some elf, some dwarf.
The number of people in the group increased to around seventy or eighty, but all the soldiers from various tribes who had come over brought back only despairing news.
The fortress fell, the western front collapsed, the majority of the elves retreated, and the Dwarf Divine Artifact was destroyed…
The western front was completely done for.
Raleigh Collin even heard that the current commander of the Northman Knight Order, Isabella Anne Ruytberde Zou Schwarzwald, had been captured!
This left Raleigh Collin feeling incredibly incredulous!
For the people of the Republic of Seychelles, the surname Schwarzwald represents “strength”.
Every person in the Republic of Seychelles, from nobles to commoners, mentions Schwarzwald with a mix of respect and fear.
Even more than many people in the Ryman Empire, they are more familiar with this noble family that has stood on the northern highlands of Ryman for centuries and their knight order.
Isabella, as the current commander of the Northman Knight Order, is also renowned on the continent.
Even if the Northman Knight Order lost the battle, how could Isabella be captured?
Despite Raleigh Collin’s Western Front collapsing and being forced to lead a group of soldiers in escape for a month, he still believed it was a rumor spread by the demon race.
And today, after Raleigh Collin activated the Eye of Astral Plane and Magic Essence Perception, he finally saw that long-lost figure.
“Isabella?!”
He called out in surprise.
With legendary level power fluctuations and distinctive blue hair, Raleigh Collin used the Eye of Astral Plane to look down at the figure sitting by the campfire, almost doubting what he saw.
However, he soon noticed a large magical beast resembling a giant wolf not far from the figure.
The identity of the other party was confirmed.
This must be the “Ryman Ice” Isabella!
The legendary female knight with blue hair, who rides a giant wolf as her mount, is the only one of her kind in the entire continent.
She sat by the campfire, wearing lightweight armor styled after the demon race. Occasionally, she would hold her stomach, showing a slightly pained expression.
The power of her legendary level is extremely weak, if not for her being an expert mage specializing in the Arcane arts, with a very high level of Magic Essence Perception, she wouldn’t have been able to sense it.
It can be seen that Isabella must have gone through many difficult battles in this past month!
Suffering from severe injuries and weakened strength, her armor shattered long ago, forcing her to wear the enemy’s armor to continue fighting.
Even her companion, the White Frost Direwolf, known for its legendary snow-white and ice-clear fur, now appeared dull and grey.
The epic warrior by her side, likely her companion who escaped with her, also had extremely unstable strength, further proving the hardship they faced in their battles.
Beside Isabella, there were two people and a member of the demon race sitting.
Upon closer inspection, Raleigh Collin was even more amazed.
“Not only did she not get captured, but she even captured an elite level succubus… Truly worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Schwarzwald family!”
“Moreover, besides capturing, she also brought along an elderly and a young civilian… Probably rescued from the demon race.”
The presence of the elderly and the young made Raleigh Collin admire Isabella even more.
Honestly, if he were to encounter a group of refugees escaping from the clutches of the demon race now, he might help or rescue them, but wouldn’t bring them along.
After all, he was already overwhelmed, saving civilians meant taking on responsibility.
Raleigh Collin felt he didn’t have that courage and confidence!
And this person known as “Ryman Ice” on the continent, once considered as the “heartless” Grand Knight Isabella, while heavily injured and extremely weak, still chose to bring along an elderly person and a child with almost no fighting capabilities.
This is the courage of the Captain of the Northman Knight Order!
Raleigh Collin was even moved.
“Her Excellency Isabella showed great kindness by setting aside her differences with Seychelles and Ryman, to help civilians in the two Republic of Seychelles territories during the demon race invasion. She is truly noble!”
Raleigh Collin, a powerful mage at the Superlative Level, is considered a high-ranking member within the Holy Alliance.
He knew well that even in the face of external threats, there were many individuals and groups from different factions who would resort to underhanded tactics.
Isabella’s actions were undoubtedly highly virtuous!
“Captain Rayleigh, what do you see?”
Witnessing their injured leader in distress, the elven scout couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s Isabella,” Rayleigh turned around, looking at the equally wounded and weary dwarf, human, and elven soldiers below, a joyful smile spreading across his face. “Isabella of the Northman Knight Order – from today, you no longer need to address me as captain… we are getting a new captain!”
“What, it’s Lady Isabella!”
“Is it really Isabella from the Northman Knight Order?”
“I heard she was captured!”
“Seems like that’s just a rumor… I always said, even our king admires ‘Ryman Ice’, so impossible for them to be captured by the demon race!”
“So if we break through the demon race’s encirclement, we might have hope!”
“Be brave, there’s definitely hope – Lady Isabella is a legendary Grand Knight!”
“And she’s a talented and outstanding leader, maybe we can even counterattack those demon race troublemakers.”
“Who would have thought, being born a noble in Seychelles, that I would one day be rescued by ‘Ryman Ice’…”
Everyone chattered excitedly, while Raleigh Collin clapped his hands.
“Alright, everyone gather yourselves, we’re heading to Her Excellency Isabella’s place to meet up with her!”
Of course, some people had doubts.
“Captain Rayleigh, do you think Isabella is being used as bait and trapped by the demon race?”
But before Rayleigh could reply, everyone started talking at once, interrupting him.
“That’s impossible, Isabella is a respected person!”
“Even as a person from Seychelles, I must admit that Her Excellency Isabella is the last person to submit to the demon race!”
