Chapter 1453 Millicent and Loretta
Clang!
The blade of the knife and the halberd collided with each other, causing intense sparks to fly.
The red-haired swordswoman Millicent wielded a flowing sword, her figure as light and agile as a female leopard. She was fighting with a female knight wearing luxurious silver full-covered armor. She kept swinging her halberd at Millicent, but she couldn't break through the opponent's defense circle.
The huge square of the Holy Tree Platform became a battlefield for the two men to fight, and the sound of swords clashing rang out continuously.
The Maids of Night stood not far away, watching the duel.
"Miss Millicent's abilities have improved again. She is truly an amazing talent."
Chief Sister Winona looked at the thrilling swordplay and sighed:
“Obviously, she was just an ordinary maid of the night at the beginning, but now her combat power has surpassed you and me.
This talent is like that of a demigod of the golden lineage."
Chief Swordsman Annoya put her hand on her chin and squinted her eyes to observe Millicent's movements: "Her movements are skillful and smooth. The sword technique she originally used is similar to the Flowing Sword Technique of the Maids of Night. They are simply from the same school. I have trained her a little bit these days, and now she has embarked on a different swordsmanship path from the original Valkyrie Marennia.
Besides, our lord dotes on Miss Millicent and taught her how to use Haki and Zanpakutō. Even if Miss Millicent meets the Valkyrie Marenia now, it is hard to say who will win. "
Nearly half a month has passed since Annoya and Millicent embarked on their journey across the Holy Snow Plain.
Perhaps the map in the game does not make the Holy Snowfield appear so huge, but it is obviously much more troublesome to measure this ancient ice field that has existed since time immemorial with your own feet.
Moreover, monsters, zombies, wild beasts and even flying dragons everywhere would attack travelers. Millicent relied on the flowing sword in her hand to kill her way through the Holy Snow Plain. During this time, other groups of maids of the night joined them and headed towards the northernmost part of the Holy Snow Plain.
During the journey, Annoya discovered that the flowing sword technique used by Millicent from the Valkyrie seemed to be from the same school as the swordsman of the people of Knox.
It is said that the Valkyrie was corrupted by the Scarlet Corruption when she was young, and she lost her sight and had a broken arm. She was depressed because of this, and she met a blind swordsman. This blind swordsman was extremely powerful and even sealed the goddess of corruption in the Corruption Lake. Out of pity and love for Malenia's talent, the powerful swordsman decided to pass on his flowing water swordsmanship to Malenia.
He told Marennia that his Flowing Water Sword was not his own creation, but was taught to him by a fairy who called herself "Blue Dancer".
Now that she thinks about it, Annoya believes that the blue dancer should be a Knox people who has mastered the flowing sword technique. Because they have cold blood, dull skin, and like to wear cold-toned clothes, it is not surprising that they would be mistaken for a fairy by the blind swordsman.
Since they have the same master, Annoya can use the authentic Eternal City Flowing Water Sword Technique to teach Millicent. The latter's swordsmanship has improved rapidly under the guidance of a famous teacher and the "tutorials" of a large number of miscellaneous soldiers.
In this way, the group finally arrived at Yidian Town in the north of Huasheng Snow Plain.
They found the secret to the Holy Tree in the mysterious Yidian Town and reached the Holy Tree through an ancient teleportation array. Then, a knight named Loretta, who called herself the "Holy Tree Guardian", stood in front of them and prevented them from going deeper into the Holy Tree.
One side must advance, the other side defends to the death. This helpless and unavoidable battle unfolds in the Sacred Tree Square.
Originally, Loretta was ready to fight the entire Maids of Night and Millicent at the same time, but Millicent rarely asked the Maids of Night not to take action. She wanted to have a fair one-on-one battle with this determined Knight of the Holy Tree.
Loretta couldn't believe her ears. The borderland had been shrouded in darkness for a thousand years, and warriors like Millicent who possessed "dignity" and "grace" were extremely rare.
She respected people like Millicent and decided to fight her in a fair fight.
And now, the warring parties are about to decide the winner.
Millicent flipped over and jumped up to avoid the large-scale sweep of the Holy Tree Knight Loretta's halberd, and there was no way to avoid it while she was in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Loretta immediately threw away her halberd and condensed her own unique Kalia magic in her hand - [Loretta's Longbow].
A huge azure longbow condensed in her hand, and three huge arrows, also formed by magic, were ready to be shot as the bowstring was pulled.
The next moment, three arrows shot towards Millicent in the air.
At this critical moment, Millicent, who had no way to avoid it, stepped on the air with a slight explosion sound, and used the empty sky as a stepping stone to reflect a lightning-like sharp movement trajectory. She easily avoided three arrows in succession, and used the momentum of the forward charge to rush towards Loretta below.
Before she could change her tactics, Loretta was hit hard in the chest by the Flowing Sword. The magic armor inherited from the royal family of Kalia shattered immediately, and blood gushed out.
Plop! She fell off her equally fully-armored warhorse and landed heavily on the ground.
"…This is truly an unparalleled swordsmanship."
The helmet fell off, revealing Loretta's cold and resolute female face. She covered her chest which was constantly bleeding and watched Millicent slowly walking towards her with a sword. Her expression suddenly became relaxed:
"Well, if it's you... please take off my head."
Millicent walked up to Loretta, but instead of swinging her sword to chop off her head, she tilted her head slightly:
"I have a question. You were originally the captain of the royal guards of the Kalia royal family. Why did you come to Michaela's sacred tree and choose to be the guard here?"
Loretta coughed up a mouthful of blood and said slowly:
“Her Majesty the Queen has treated me well. I should have stayed in Kalia Castle to guard the Moon Viewing Platform and the last legacy of the Kalia royal family.
But I want to find a way out for my best friend's clan, the 'Sons of Platinum'. Only Michaela's sacred tree can accommodate all the alien freaks that are not accepted by the world. The Sons of Platinum can either become the minions and puppets of the Blood King, or live in secrecy on the sacred tree. I think the final result is not difficult to choose.
But as I said before, Queen Full Moon was very kind to me. I was born in a humble family and was able to learn many skills and become the Knight Commander of the Royal Guards, all thanks to the kindness and generosity of Her Majesty the Queen.
So I left behind a phantom that gathered my strength to continue guarding the Kalia Castle.
Not long ago, I felt that the phantom was defeated. After a thousand years, someone finally broke into the Moon Viewing Platform and ended the way of the last Royal Guard Knight.
No matter what, for the sake of the Sons of Platinum who live under the Sacred Tree, I must do my utmost to fulfill my final mission - to protect the Sacred Tree.
You are a worthy opponent, Millicent. It would be an honor to die at your hands."
As she spoke, she closed her eyes and waited for the end to come.
But what I waited for was an outstretched hand and a gentle voice:
"Please don't give up your life easily. If you can, please move forward with me.
I hope you can see what you are protecting and what the final fate of the sacred tree is."
Loretta couldn't help but open her eyes and look at the figure carrying the glow of the holy tree. She seemed to see the high-spirited and invincible Valkyrie from a thousand years ago, but if she looked closely, she was completely not the same person.
Suddenly, a long-lost belief surged in her heart, and she wanted to follow this person and witness his future and path to becoming king.
If this person, if this person can become the King of Elden...
Loretta reached out and took Millicent's outstretched hand in hers.
"Anyway, please allow me to watch it to the end."
PS: I am very ashamed, because I am still not feeling well, I only wrote one chapter. The update will be moved to Sunday afternoon...
