Shortly after separating, Isabella, Callista, Melina and Ada go southeast and northeast, with their horses they all explore quickly, in a very serious and curiously fast way, in fact very fast, so much that all the assigned troops are very surprised.
The reason for this great speed is very simple... Isabella, who normally at the side of Feicui Long and resting is a very kind and warm young lady with almost everyone, actually since they separate she is very serious and good at giving orders and commands, this surprises both Ada and the rest of the squad.
Because it must be known that although they were previously troops of the Skylion family, they are not really of very high rank and therefore they have no opportunity to know the young lady of the family and their only contact has been in the village and on the trip to it, so that is basically their only impression of her.
But it is not so surprising either, because even Callista and Melina are astonished and they know her for almost a year, in fact maybe even her Feicui Long would be, since she has always been like that in her 4 years as an adventurer, added to that she has been raised by a very militaristic family to be their heir, she has learned very well the skills of giving orders and tactics.
It is only that when she is at the side of her beloved she is almost like a cute kitten, but without him at her side she is like a real lioness, in fact, that is not the only secret of Isabella, another that only the members of her group of adventurers know, is that she is extremely hostile to men, in her times when she uses the identity of Charles, it is very common that she throws them out of her surroundings or insults them.
And that has not changed, when she is with Feicui Long she only greets them slightly and behaves politely, but she is notably kinder and more polite with women, but when she is alone, she in fact ignores the greeting of adult men and children alike, while to girls and women she greets kindly and affectionately.
It is for this reason that many are very surprised, when Isabella as Charles is so affectionate with him, but in any case it is not that Isabella worries about keeping these secrets from Feicui Long, because she is sure that Feicui Long does not care at all, their bond between him and her is too strong for these details to bother him.
That is why Isabella is giving everything, she wants to show him that she is more than worthy of being his woman and in this journey she is achieving it, let us see, only in this journey thanks to her leadership they kill multiple beasts in the mystical realm grade 3, some in grade 5 and in fact once they manage to kill ONE IN GRADE 7, although of course it is thanks to the talismans of her darling.
Now she sits here in front of the bonfire thinking, by which route of the map that her darling gives them they should go to optimize their time even more, of the 500 they possess at the beginning, now they already put 350, about 150 more and she can see her sweetheart.
...
While she is here sitting, Ada observes from a big tree lying her surroundings, her years as a sniper with her energy rifle sharpen her senses so strongly, that she can notice that some dark shadows have been chasing them since the 250 amplifiers.
She already lets Isabella know that they are being chased and Isabella nods, in fact she even brings them here, according to the map this area is extremely good to defend, since it is at the side of a mountain and it can only be attacked from the flanks... but actually only one of the flanks can be attacked.
Since in the right flank it is an almost forbidden territory, there live the giant acid ants, a beast that when they reach adulthood they reach the peak of the elemental realm and have the potential to reach the peak of the ascending realm, but the most important thing is that they can live easily some 10 thousand to 100 thousand in their nests and they possess such a strong acid that even beasts 3 to 5 grades above must be careful.
Even if the enemies are numerous, no one dares to enter there they are simply exterminated, that is why they establish all their defenses on the left flank, only leaving about 5 fragmented formations on the right flank.
Admiring all this planning of her young lady, Ada finally notices what she is looking for, she puts the amplifying sight of her beloved energy rifle and aims towards that place, when she sees what comes she immediately jumps from the tree with a frown...
Quickly after that she begins to give orders saying: "Prepare yourselves all, to your positions brats, it is not time to laze around!" she summons from her dimensions also all her contracted creatures.
All this because what she sees is a great horde of undead, at least several hundreds or even possibly a few thousands, here they are only 13 people and if all the contracted creatures are counted, they would barely have another 99 forces, true that all are creatures in the mystical realm grade 4 peak and that those assigned to protect the two twins and the young lady are very strong, modified specifically by the young lord, but she has the doubt if it will be enough.
Luckily she has many talismans and attack and defense scrolls, only with those that the twins and Isabella possess they can kill many, she even has a few of attack and defense, both those that her lord gives her, as well as those she has from before and those she buys from the points shop.
All the other troops quickly rejoin and organize a professional defensive formation, in addition to summoning all their 9 contracted creatures, they stand behind the preventively built barricades and grip their weapons with strength.
...
Isabella who is lost in her thoughts about her beloved quickly awakens and goes into alert mode, when she sees everyone summoning their creatures, she quickly herself brings out the three golems modified by her darling.
A rock golem, a wood golem and an earth golem, each one strongly modified, much more than the ones he himself has, the towering rock golem measures 3.5 meters, being taller than the normal ones he creates, moreover the inscriptions of all kinds that it has are in greater number.
What stands out the most are the black iron pieces nailed into the shoulders, knees, arms, hands, legs and feet, all shining, all are completely functional artifacts with different defensive functions, this same is repeated with the other two golems, Feicui Long has told her the function of each golem.
The rock one is her tank, for attack and defense, while the wood one with its slightly inferior defense to the rock fulfills the function of healing and defense, the earth one is the support and a great recovery to hinder her enemies.
With them she feels much safer, she grabs her sword in the style of a claymore or a bastard sword, the northern lioness empress and she puts on her armor, she looks at her "nieces" and directs her eyes of the sky lion towards the deep darkness without any fear.
While the twins command the assigned rock golem and the two elite undead of lizard type and faun type of the other.
...
In the forest in front of this group a great quantity of yellow skeletons because of the passing of the years walk with the blue fire of the souls shining inside them, their rest has been disturbed by an evil being and today they march with another different soul inside them to take other lives.
In front of them several ghouls, zombies, some putrid warriors and skeletons, accompanied by a few skeleton archers and a few putrid elementalists march forward.
On the sides about 200 march into battle along with their undead steeds, about 100 are completely skeletons with armor both rider and mount and the other 100 are putrid bodies covered in armor.
Behind this entire army three colossal creatures rise knocking down trees left and right, while a small figure floats above the ground releasing an icy air that freezes the ground already covered with snow.
Around that figure 20 figures of the same size covered with elite equipment protect it firmly, almost as if it were an elite guard.
...
From Isabella's side as soon as they have range they begin to fire both the allied undead and the living, but that is barely a scratch in this army, still Isabella does not doubt she approaches the fragmented formation at the edge along with her golems and raising her sword she begins to gather energy.
Then pronouncing the martial words she begins to recite: "Oh wind, oh wind, my loyal subordinate, come, come, your queen calls you! Come to bring destruction and death to the endless enemies, devastating and razing my enemies in your path! Tornado of the Sky Lion!"
Soon that energy begins to condense a great amount of wind, much more than that joke tornado that her younger brother Robert gathers that time he fights against Feicui Long and then Isabella launches it forward.
This tornado consumes half of her energy, but Isabella does not care she only takes an energy recovery pill and looks fixedly at the battlefield only illuminated by the moon.
The tornado soon strikes the army of undead, as expected the weakest are directly destroyed especially those thousands of yellow skeletons, of which hundreds are directly shattered.
But it is too early to sing victory, soon one of those giant figures grabs a weapon about 3 meters long and strikes with tremendous strength and at great speed, destroying the tornado as if nothing.
