Chapter 190: Defence Of stine Part Three
Northern border front lines
A steady line of machinery and short stout men held a firm line in the north. The soldiers of the stine Kingdom numbers were slowly falling with each charge. nche stine, the First Princess of stine looked over at Nichi stine the Third Prince of stine with a face full of worry. "Third Brother if this keeps going..."
"First Sister, I know All we have to do is hold the line. If we do not hold the line we will lose more than you can imagine. All we can do is wait for her... " Prince Nichi took a nce behind him only to let out a sigh.
"Will she really make it as Royal Father said?" nche could see that their soldiers were not going tost much longer. Out of the one million that they brought a fraction of that was left. But they still kept their morals even with theirrades dying left and right, they held firm.
"She will. From what I have heard about her through my investigations while I was in the academy. Our third sister will pull off a miracle somehow. She was able to pass the hardest test of the Illusion World so her mentality and ability have already been proven. And since Royal Father has put his faith in her, so should we." Prince Nichi did his best to reassure Princess nche.
"Then I will try to put my faith in her as well..." Princess nche had not met her new sister but she had heard of the things she had done. She was amazed that at such a young age her little sister had already aplished so much. This made her take a second nce at herself who was five years older and realized that she was in no way able topare. Because of this she started to buckle down at the academy and started to take her lessons seriously. She was still a far cry from her other siblings but she was willing to better herself so she could at least proudly say she was the older sister of her Third Sister.

Western border front lines
"Your majesty things are not looking good!" A tall well built man wearing a suit of armor said as he looked at the map.
"It is as you say, Dudley. I did not expect that Mytheth Lenora would send so many elven soldiers here I knew they would give some kind of support to the empire since they have close ties to them but I never thought it would be like this." King Augustus looked out over the horizon at what looked like a massive wall but was in actual fact thousands of golems marching towards the border.
Mytheth Lenora, the elven country whose magic potential was way higher than that of humans due to their abundance of Magi Points. They normally would stay out of human affairs except when it came down to the Empire. Their princess Terissa had fallen in love with the human emperor and became his empress. With the close ties of the two ruling families, one word from Terissa and Mytheth Lenora would send out their entire army to back up the Empire.
King Augustus looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. "It seems even after telling her not to userge scale magic I myself will have to break my own rule if we want to survive this."
"You won''t have the chance!" A voice that seemed toe out of nowhere sounded out.
"What!? They even sent you out!?" King Augustus''s eyes showed a hint of fear looking at the old elf in front of him.
"Your Highness!"
"Dudley, find my youngest daughter! And tell her what has happened here. Tell her the west has fallen! Tell her I will be safe but she must at least secure the capital! stine must not fall! She is now in charge! Whoever opposes this order you are to kill!" King Augustus sent out a telepathic message to Dudley as he began to make hand signs.
Dudley looked at King Augustus who gave him a knowing nod before crushing a ck stone in his hand and disappearing from where he stood. The old elf paid no mind to the fleeing knight as his attention was solely on King Augustus. His eyes turned menacing as he waved his hand and six floating daggersfloated in the air in front of him. "No matter what you do you will die here today!"
"I am afraid you will not be able to do such a thing." King Augustus smiled as he finished hisst hand sign and a magic circle formed under his feet.
"You''re sealing yourself!?" The old elfquickly sent his floating daggers towards King Augustus but right as they made contacta "<strong><em>ng</em></strong>" was heard knocking the daggers back.
The old elf looked at the smug grin on King Augustus''s frozen face and snorted. "So be it. I will just take you back as is. The day youe out of that seal is the day you will die!"

Near the northern border
"ke we are almost there!" Alicia shouted. She was very tired. They had been moving non stop all the while building a wall.
"Wait, Alicia, something is not right! Look over there!" ke suddenly yelled up to Alicia who was on top of the wall.
Alicia looked in the direction that ke was pointing to see a distortion in the space. A small crack formed before slowly growing bigger. Once it got to the size of an adult male a tall figure fell out of it wearing a full set of armor.
"Dudley!?" ke eximed. He knew who this man was.
"ke who''s that?" Alicia asked.
"He''s the leader of the Hidden Guard I guess you could call it. They officially have no name. But they take care of all the Kingdom''s internal affairs and are very powerful." ke exined.
Dudley looked up to see a little girl standing on top of a wall in front of him. He quickly got down on one knee and respectfully lowered his head. "Princess Alicia I havee to pass on a message from his Majesty. His Majesty says, stine must not fall and to protect the capital. You are now in charge..."
