"Yes~"
The girl giggled nervously, but in someone’s eyes, she was as obedient as could be.

Misha County, Southern Territory, outside the grand bridge near Ebi City
"I didn’t expect it to be like this just after two and a half hours..."
Xia Lian said with a wry smile, swinging the longsword borrowed from Yarist who is lacking in virtue, and chopped at a mutant in front of her. The monster was sent flying back seven or eight meters, struggled several times, but ultimately its bones were shattered and it couldn’t stand up again, its skull crushed by the swarm of its own kind following behind.
As of now, there have only been 149 minutes of the four hours Xia Lian had promised to Motan, and her arms were so weak she couldn’t even lift her own cross.
[The last time I was this miserable, it must have been when I was fighting those sheep-apes for fruit in the forest as a kid.]
She pulled out the last Healing Potion from the storage ring, which was imbued with Space Magic, and while reminiscing about her childhood, she chugged down the potion, which cost ten copper coins but spit out half immediately, "Damn, does this stuff actually expire..."
This potion, which was hundreds of years old, was placed in her storage ring when she first got it from her mentor. Later, she discovered that as God’s Chosen, she didn’t need it at all. Under the Goddess’s favor, even the most basic Holy Healing Technique that Xia Lian used was more powerful than the potion, so it had never been taken out of the storage ring since.
Had she not been completely out of options, to the point of feeling exhausted even moving her fingers, she might never have considered using that potion again, yet it had expired...
"Quick-acting mint Perfume would taste better than this stuff."
The Elf Holy Woman glanced at the half bottle of the deteriorated potion in her hand and, after making a complaint, downed it in one go, immediately clenching her throat to prevent herself from vomiting. After slashing down two monsters with her longsword, she managed to swallow the sticky, expired medicine.
Xia Lian had no choice but to do this, her physical strength had reached its limit, and even her consciousness was starting to fade. The longsword, which she could originally lift tens of bundles in one breath, felt heavier and heavier, even heavier than Star gold stone.
Of course, this was an illusion because she couldn’t lift the real Star Gold cross made out of the star gold stone half an hour ago.
If she hadn’t drunk this spoiled stuff, maybe by the time Yarist got back to the city to fetch some medicine, she would have already fallen...
[It’s okay, I’ve taken the medicine! I can still hold on!]
"Ha!"
Xia Lian pulled the corners of her mouth, yelled, and swung her longsword at the neck of another mutant.
Crack.
The sword got stuck...
Stuck...
"Uh oh, it’s over."
Xia Lian, whose sleeve was already caught by the corpse in front of her, rolled her eyes. She turned the longsword towards her own heart and shouted back to the stupefied Yarist behind her, "Hurry up and tell that kid Hei Fan to bring people quickly for a rescue. My Spiritual Body after death should last about an hour, which should be enough for them to make it here."
"Fuck!"
"What are you doing, a Spiritual Body isn’t the same as this rotten flesh, don’t make random guesses!"
"Fuck!!"
"That’s settled then. Oh, and also tell Hei Fan to give a message to Yu Chen, tell him not to grieve for me..."
"Your Highness, run!"
"Huh?"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
Before she could react, Xia Lian and more than thirty mutants were sent flying in a series of deafening explosions.
A hundred meters away, the muzzle of the magic cannon on the "Fury" was still emitting wisps of blue smoke.
"Report, target practice complete!"
"Good! Prepare the starboard magic cannons, begin sweep firing in three seconds! Assist Her Highness the Saintess!"
The gunners responded thunderously, unaware that Her Highness the Saintess had nearly been blown up by their calibration shot, and loudly said, "Yes, ma’am!"
"Throw the grappling hooks, prepare the sailors for landing!"
"Yes, ma’am!"
"First and second officers, follow me up!"
"Yes, ma’am!"

Game Time PM 20:16
The warships "Fury" of the Skalan Duchy, along with three "Sea Beasts," arrived at the long bridge of Ebi City.
The barrage roared, and the battle cries shook the heavens!
