Looking at Chris who picked up her spear and headed out, Elashia also stood up.
She couldn't just watch Chris fight alone.
If Chris got injured in battle, she would feel terrible.
This was also a good opportunity to test the strength of the spell she had just obtained.
Turning back to look at Elashia who had stood up behind her, Chris asked:
"What, you're going too?"
Elashia answered with a smile:
"Of course, if my future security chief gets injured, I'd be in quite a bind."
Chris asked somewhat amusedly:
"Oh? You've even thought out a profession for me?"
Elashia caught up with Chris.
"Of course, you have no idea how well I understand you. I dare say—no one else in this entire city-state understands you as well as I do."
After all, as a hardcore veteran player of "The Fall of Elasia," Elashia knew every character like the back of her hand.
She even knew Chris's three measurements...
Of course, Elashia would never tell Chris about this.
Otherwise, Chris probably would never be willing to come to Elasia to work for her ever again...
（−＿−；）
The two of them—one an agile warrior, the other a mage capable of flight—quickly moved to the base of the northern city wall.
Chris leaped up onto the five-meter-high city wall in one bound.
Elashia flew up behind her and smiled at Chris:
"How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Looking into the distance, a group of soldiers wearing yellow armor were advancing rapidly toward them in formation!
Chris didn't answer Elashia, but directly jumped down from the city wall.
She didn't know why the timing of the irregularly held citizens' assembly would be known to foreigners.
She only knew—she had to resolve this outside the city, even if she was alone!
Without caring about the enemies' reaction—Chris charged directly toward the enemy formation!
She knew—when facing such well-trained enemies, only by quickly closing the distance could she have a chance of victory!
However, the Bal City commander wasn't just sitting idle either.
"Loose arrows!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Seeing the enemy, the Bal soldiers quickly reacted and immediately released their first volley of arrows at Chris!
Chris dodged as much as possible, but ultimately couldn't avoid all the arrows.
One arrow that cut through the air evaded Chris's parry and flew toward her side with terrifying force!
Looking at the arrow flying toward her, Chris's body no longer had time to react.
However, from the moment Chris decided to jump out and charge toward the Bal City formation, she had already prepared herself to take several arrows.
Bal City and Yage City had always had a poor relationship, and Chris had clashed with them several times before.
Compared to Yage City, which emphasized freedom and civilization, Bal City placed more emphasis on military might.
Every time she faced battle with them, she had to endure several volleys of arrows before engaging.
Chris knew she was about to be hit by an arrow, but she still charged at full speed as before.
She knew this was the only way to have a chance of victory.
But when she gritted her teeth to prepare for the incoming pain, she discovered—a white-glowing arrow directly shattered the arrow flying toward her!
Though somewhat surprised, the battlefield situation didn't allow her to turn back and check what had happened.
However, she didn't need to turn back to check anything.
After all, there was only one person behind her.
Combined with Elashia's earlier words about poaching her and that determined attitude, Chris could easily guess who had fired that white arrow that protected her.
In just a few breaths, Chris with her spear had charged to the front of the Bal army formation.
Seeing the valkyrie before them charging toward their formation like a god descending from heaven, the Bal City officer immediately issued another command.
"Form turtle formation! Prepare for battle!"
The Bal soldiers in yellow armor immediately raised their shields, positioned their spears, and formed a circular barrel formation!
Chris's charging steps didn't stop for a moment as she raised her spear forward, preparing to charge directly into the formation!
Watching this scene from the city wall, Elashia didn't hesitate for a moment and directly fired another [Magic Arrow]!
She knew that even if Chris could break through this iron-barrel formation, she would still get injured, and she couldn't accept her future subordinate suffering any unnecessary harm in front of her!
"BOOM!"
The [Magic Arrow] struck the part of the Bal City formation facing Chris with terrifying force, directly sending several soldiers flying along with their shields, forcibly blasting a huge gap in this impenetrable formation!
"That's a huge help!"
Chris shouted as she charged into the Bal City formation that now had a massive breach, and threw her spear heavily toward the enemy commander!
"Whoosh!"
"Holy shit!"
The Bal City officer, with no time to react, could only grab a nearby soldier to block the spear for him!
However, at this moment, Elashia watching from the city wall smiled.
The spear directly pierced through both the unfortunate soldier who was grabbed and the officer!
"Ugh... battle... to the end..."
The officer pierced by the spear used his last strength to issue his final command, and the other soldiers, seeing their officer's death, all charged toward Chris like madmen!
The reason was simple—Bal City's regulations stated that if a commander died in battle and the soldiers couldn't complete their mission, they would be executed immediately upon returning to the city!
Now, killing Chris was their only chance to survive!
Chris drew her saber from her waist with a "whoosh" the moment she threw her spear.
Although the soldiers were all prepared to die, these soldiers who had lost their commander were no match for her at all.
Within a few breaths, the spear tips of all the Bal City soldiers charging toward Chris had been cut off by her blade.
After knocking out several enemies who had already lost their reason with the back of her blade, Chris retreated a few steps.
The remaining soldiers just looked at her in terror.
They knew—they couldn't win, and they couldn't escape either.
Even if Chris was willing to spare them, they couldn't return.
Once they returned to the city, only death awaited them.
Looking at the enemy troops who had lost their will to fight, Chris also sheathed her blade.
At this time, Elashia also jumped down from the city wall and walked leisurely to Chris's side.
"You're not going to kill them?"
Elashia still wore that playful smile, looking at Chris.
"Thank you for what you did just now."
Without answering Elashia's question, Chris expressionlessly thanked Elashia.
"Why thank me? You know, I want to poach you, and I can't accept a subordinate starting work injured."
After hearing Elashia's words, Chris's cold, beautiful face also showed a trace of a smile.
"Alright."
Looking at the enemy troops lying scattered on the ground, Elashia asked again:
"What? You're not going to kill them?"
