Amber Sword

Princess Griffine bit her lip, clenching her fists.

They’re back again? But how could it be?

No one knows those people better than she does.

A cavalry unit tinged with black and red appeared on the battlefield, cutting into the battleground from one side of Angerk Mountain, charging head-on into the advancing formation of the Northern Alliance infantry, intercepting the vast army of the Northern Nobles right in front of the Princess’s main formation.

Then a Knight rode out of the ranks.

The Knight halted in the rain, turned his head from atop his horse.

Then lifted his visor.

Revealing a youthful face.

It was Ecco.

The young man raised his longsword high towards Brand, shouting loudly: "Noble Sir Knight! I have arrived as promised!"

"On that day in the Eternal Song Forest, I heard you speak of the ideals of a Knight, promising to pursue the vow of the former Lord, so today I have come!"

"For Erune!"

The voice echoed across the battlefield.

Brand was completely unprepared for Ecco to appear at this time, under these circumstances—this guy, he couldn’t help but smile slightly in his heart. He could fully imagine what the other was up to; Macaro, that Cunning Fox, must be utterly furious right now.

Yet he turned his head and glanced at the Princess beside him, and only at this moment did his heart suddenly calm down. It turns out that here, he was not fighting alone.

Not just him and the Princess.

There were many people fighting alongside him.

Just like in days of old in games, close your eyes and all around were comrades sharing the same ideals. Only this time, they were more capable of controlling their own Destiny.

What else could be unsatisfactory?

He smiled slightly and simultaneously drew out the card he had prepared long ago from the deck.

...

In the skies above, Williams finally frowned. The appearance of the Lantoniyan army took him completely by surprise; in fact, the Northern Nobles of Erune had pledged unequivocally that no third-party army would appear on this battlefield.

"These damned guys." He couldn’t help but curse under his breath, though thankfully, they were only Noble Private Soldiers, not a major concern.

However, it would be troublesome if the Northern Alliance were scattered by them. He immediately raised his flame-shaped longsword, issuing a command to the Cruz Floating Fleet on one side to intercept the Lantoniyan army on the ground.

The Cruz flagship ’Perran’ promptly began adjusting the position of its hull, the cannon ports ominously aimed at the flank of the Northern Alliance, the direction of the Lantoniyan army’s appearance.

Yet the Wizards on board the three warships had not had time to test the first shot of the magic-guided cannon when suddenly, in front of the fleet, space began to ripple like fish scales.

Space disturbance!

The head Wizard on the escort ship ’Taylor’ screamed: "Teleportation Gate response, new enemies! Fire! Fire quickly!"

The three Cruz warships instinctively opened fire, and a bright flash exploded amid the rain curtain. However, still a bit too late, as suddenly, four green light circles opened in the transparent space, revealing the faint shadows of four massive black square towers slowly emerging.

"Floating Towers!"

"Tower Wizards!"

"It’s the Tower Wizards, why have they come!"
