Chapter 237: Defending A Tattered Castle


    I looked around to make sure that sneaky bastard was finally gone, entrapped forever into my prison, acting from this moment on as my loyal dog, my guardian. I also, hurriedly, checked the fortress, to find it safe and sound, lying proudly on top of this mountain, waiting for me to go up and im it.


    "Let''s go and im my prize then," I muttered with much joy and bliss to myself, as I controlled my balloon and started to fly again towards that castle.


    ''Move yourselves here, the fort is now ours!''


    In these simple words that I sent to the private chat between me and my advisors, I announced shortly my victory and dered my ownership to that fort, the same fort thaty for endless years hard to be conquered by any force, no matter how strong and vastly huge they were.


    I was just in my ce, watching the castle up above in admiration and pride. This castle, the one thatsted for so long that people thought it was impossible to conquer, was easily conquered by me, a twelve and half years old spear girl.


    I knew the distance between my army and here would take hours for them to get here, so I had to move to the castle and nned to wait for them there. the castle was really huge, much bigger than I actually thought.


    The walls and the towers were damaged, heavily attacked by my artifact. I knew it was inevitable, but seeing the castle in this miserable state pained, truly pained my heart.


    Just as I was overlooking the castle and thinking about all the hard work it needed to shine again, all the gold coins I had to pay for these high and mighty walls to be repaired, I heard a sudden noise,ing from far like a breeze of wind.


    At first, I neglected this, as I started to tour the castle from above, looking at each and single part of it. there were many buildings inside the castle, destroyed under the effect of my spear, and frankly I didn''t know what these buildings were.


    I decided to wait for my army and my advisors toe. I knew they must have any info regarding this, especially Nani and Rendy.


    Just as I thought about the two, I received a distress message from them, as both sent in the private chat of my advisors in warning tone:


    ''Princess, many yers'' armies are heading straight to you right now,'' Nina said.


    ''Princess, many noble guilds are amassing their forces here and are now nning to continuously attack the castle,'' Rendy said.


    As I just read these messages, I looked again to the horizon, as I squeezed my eyes hard, to finally be able to spot arge cloud of dusting from far. It was like the whole horizon was blocked by something, like a flood, and it was apanied by a sand storm it seemed.


    "So you are greedy enough to abandon your honor and cluster on a single weak little girl like me, huh?''


    I was pissed off them, as the joy from obtaining this victory evaporated once I saw the iing enemies. they even didn''t give me a chance to gather up my armies, damn them.


    If they thought I was helpless, they would make mistakes. I didn''t know anything inside this castle, and there was no time for me to ask Rendy or Nani to teach me, so I had to consider it like I didn''t get the castle.


    But in fact, the presence of the castle was enough to make me use my prisoners, atst. Throughout the way to here, I didn''t stop absorbing demons, plus yers, every now and then. If they thought they could beat me with theirrge numbers, then I also have my ownrge armies.


    Plus, I could always absorb yers, all the time. the more theye to me, the merrier it would be.


    I didn''t feel any eeriness, as I wasn''t that frightened from them, in fact I was eager to show them all my strength, to show the whole world how strong I was.


    Without any further ado, I closed my eyes and thought only of one order, giving it to the cube I held in my hand right now.


    ''I want all of them to be loyal to me.''


    The cold voice of the artifact came again, as it said:


    ''There are monsters and yers, which one of them do you want to be your new subjects?''


    I knew that this artifact was always trying to organize things, but I felt like it was trying to waste my time, all the time!


    ''I want yers first,'' I said, as recruiting yers didn''t require a lot of gold coins, not like monsters. Plus, I already have hundreds of thousands of them, an army big enough to cover the whole castle, and form a nice defensive shield for my fort here.


    ''There are four hundred thousand human beings here, do you want all of them to be your subjects?''


    ''Screw you, you are intentionally wasting my time!'' I wanted to yell at that artifact, but I nicely replied, ''I want all of them''


    ''They are released after soaring the oath of loyalty to you.''


    I had to admit, no matter how frustrating it was when I dealt with this artifact, when it did things, it did them brightly. In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands, reaching four hundred thousand yers, and humans, appeared here in the castle. The moment they appeared, they looked up at me, with some being angry, others resentful.


    I didn''t care, as I took out my spear, my artifact spear, and spoke out slowly, yet loud enough to be heard:


    "Kneel!"


    My words were obsolete, like aw. If there was anyone who intended to disobey me, then I wouldn''t hesitate to kill him or her. I didn''t know what would happen to them if they broke thews here, but at least I knew what I could do to them when they broke my words.


    Just as an avnche, a group led the rest to kneel in front of me. I looked down on them, satisfied by this nice gain of yers. they were, mostly, part of the hostile armies that I cleared, scattered around the castle and my army.


    When I recalled this, I looked again above the walls of this castle, as the enemies were now closer here than ever. I could also see their faces, feel their desires, and hear the loud shouts of wars echoing in between their ranks, motivating them and raising their morals high.


    The higher their morals ascended, the louder and heavier they descended by me. I waited, and even didn''t order my new army to stand from their kneel. I waited, as my enemies came closer, darting up the huge mountain, celebrating the fact I didn''t attack them yet, as if I was exhausted, or even mocking me of being petrified and horrified.


    I waited


    "Raise up your heads, and take your positions up the walls!"


    I finally yelled, a loud cry for war and battle I longed for since I left my kingdom. My new army was speechless, while moving rapidly to the walls, to be faced with much astonished yers, who thought initially I had already surrendered.


    But I didn''t.


    I wasn''t in need of my new army to help me at this wave, and I wasn''t afraid, or even close to that, as my enemies were many but like fireflies, could be killed on a whim.


    The first thing I did was to get my hand over that heavy shield. Every time I get this shield, I really curse my bad luck in life. I held it as high as I could, while intended to shield and protect the castle.


    A light shone from my shield, covering the whole castle, and a few hundreds of meters away from the walls. Just as I did that, many long ranged yers started to attack, unceasingly, thinking with their pathetic skills they had, this unbreakable shield of mine would fatler.


    This shield could sustain the attack of the sword artifact, howe it couldn''t sustain their easy pissy attacks?


    I didn''t care to watch their attacks anymore, as I hesitated, should I kill them all in one go and get rid of this nuisance for a few minutes, or should I absorb as much as I could into my prison, then kill the rest?


    As I knew the mindset of themanders, I refrained from absorbing this patch of yers. cannon fodders would be sent first, to scout the area, and then the more stronger units would follow.


    So, without any care, I waved my spear all over the ce, sending lethal hits towards the growing army around me. this attack came to remind everyone here of the sword artifact that stupid guardian had.


    In the next minutes, none of the huge, endless, noisy army attacking my castle had any remnants anymore, not even a trace could be found of their presence, like they were never here.


    I stood inside my balloon, overlooking the whole empty battlefield in satisfaction. As for my new army, they were shocked, as each one of them was asking himself this question, if I was this mighty, then why did I summon them then?


    I justughed when I thought of their reactions, and keptughing when I pictured the grim faces of my enemies.
