Chapter 206: Lily War (9)
Saintess Longwy parted her red lips.
– Strength is something that only I can verify.
Her voice rang clearly throughout the blue sky. She had been waiting for this moment after staying silent throughout the entire battle. A position that was filled by only 1 person per nation, so only 12 of them existed on the continent. The number had actually shrunken down to 11 since the saintess of Habsburg was executed for secretly communicating with the demon lord army. One of the 11 saintesses had begun to sing.
– The mind was once that of God before it eventually became that of a commoner and a slave. O Goddess, those destined to perish are once again blessing your hymn once more. Please dance with the feet of a great tribe and forgive all life for becoming luxuriant.
The cavalrymen formed a wide line.
The Saintess’ singing seeped into the cracks of their dented armor, between their helmets and breastplates, and through the manes of the tired horses that had been soaked by dust and blood. Even the spirits who had fled from the sound of combat came to peak out of the forest.
Henrietta only had 6,000 cavalrymen left. It would be difficult for even a saintess to reinvigorate all of them by even the smallest amount. Saintess Longwy felt as if her entire body was being stabbed by needles.
Nonetheless, she was still a saintess. She didn’t even furrow her brows. She continued to pray as if she were utterly in peace.
– In truth, we are far from death. However, we wish to bask in the one and only freedom granted to us; the freedom to face death. We know that this is the one and only immortal trait which those destined to perish possess. O Goddess Athena.
