“Ahhhahahahahahahha! Die for me! Die, die, die! Hahahahahahaha!” Mina’s crazed laughter filled the air as she fired volley after volley at the dragons in the air.

Clance, who was not too far from her, scratched her head, wondering if she should say something but held back. She decided to ignore the battle crazed fairy as she cast magic spell after magic spell, trying to kill as many wyverns as possible. But she found even with some of her mid powered attacks, these dragons seemed different than before. Frowning, she tapped her earpiece. “Blake, we may have an issue: these low level dragons are as strong as higher level dragons. The fire dragons in the back are up another tier as well. While I can kill them the number of times I need to attack has increased greatly even with condensed mana. Should I switch to my most powerful attacks?”

Blake looked up into the air and frowned. Their ground and air were still not doing well. The sheer numbers were just too much. “Can you direct the attacks so they will not hurt our own people?” This was what he was afraid of the most. He did not want their own soldiers being caught up in an attack from the air.

“Yeah, no problem,” Clance replied.

“Then do it. Take them out as quickly as possible and return to the ground front lines.” Blake lifted his musket and fired off another shot blasting it right through a drake’s head.

“Okay!” Clance answered before waving her hand. And yelling out. “Everyone retreat and head back to the ground front lines, take the drones with you! From this moment on, the sky becomes my territory! You have ten seconds to leave!”

Mina, who was in the middle of attacking heard Clance’s orders and quickly stopped her attack and switched to a massive wind wall to hold the dragoons off before reiterating Clance’s orders. “Pull back! Switch back to ground assault!”

Blake watched as the fairies and pixies, along with the dragonic girls, all retreated quickly while Clance stayed in the air. He knew she was going to handle them alone. He was not worried about her either, as she was very strong, to begin with, and was even stronger now.

After everyone retreated, Clance waved her hand, causing millions of magic circles to form around the entirety of the dragons in the air. A large barrier suddenly surrounded her and the dragons blocking them off from the outside world. She stood in the sky, staring at the massive cloud of dragons with a confident smirk on her lips. “Let’s just see how strong I have truly gotten.”

On the other side, Faana stood in the air, looking at the dragons in the sky, and took a deep breath. She saw the pixies and Fairies doing their thing, taking down as many as they could. Even the drones were working hard. “Sister Olinia, can you have the right side move back a bit and recall all drones to the back.”

“Yes!” Olinia did as she was told and ordered everyone back while she watched Faana fly forward, open her mouth, and spew out a white flame turning her head back and forth, making sure she hit every dragon in the air.

“Roar!” Pained roars filled the skies as wyverns and fire dragons fell down toward the ground. Olinia did not sit idle and made sure that all the dragons that were falling fell towards the back line crushing the elves who were too slow to move in under them.

General Yaya’s expression was not good. She already did not wish to do this, but now even her own people were dying under the princess’s small forces. “Is this what it means to be a true leader?” General Yaya couldn’t help but sigh as she stood up and drew her bow back, her arrow pointing at the elf standing on top of the wall made of earth. “Forgive me….” The arrow shot out like lightning. It was fast. Too fast!

Noa, who was watching the battle, saw a glint in the air and sighed. She wrapped her body in a barrier made of condensed mana and watched as the air stapped towards the spot between her brow. The arrow came to a dead halt as it hit the barrier that was thinly lined against Noa’s skin. Noa reached up and grabbed the arrow in her hand, and looked at it. She then took her own bow and notched the arrow, and drew back her string.

*Twang!*

The arrow shot out, going even faster than before, flying through the air. General Yaya, who saw all this, eyes could not even believe what she saw. She could only see the arrow zoom past her cheek, drawing a bloody line against it.

*Booom!*

An explosion sound was heard as the arrow finally slammed into a big tree causing the whole area from the tree behind it to blow away, leaving a huge path of destruction in a coned area. General Yaya turned her head almost robotically. When she saw the destruction, she realized that could have been her! “She missed on purpose… she was sending a message!”

General Yaya was not wrong. Noa was trying to send a message. Before she had to kill more of her kind, she was hoping she could get the commander to give up and switch sides. As long as the commander ordered it, the elves would retreat or turn against the dragons. With this in mind, Noa waved her hand and spoke softly. A gentle wind floated through the air past the dragons and elves who were trying to push forward. It continued until it blew past General Yaya’s ears. “Yaya…. If you pledge allegiance to me, I will ensure all of your men’s safety. And promise you that I will not mistreat any of you.”

General Yaya froze when she heard this. She lowered her head. Tears began to fill her eyes. “She recognized me…. She even knew my name….” General Yaya had always looked up to the princess, who had treated her people kindly.
