Chapter 107 - 107: The Astoria Conquest (1)

[The Girl's POV]

While Atlas was stuck in the dungeon, the four girls were sitting on a Morozov train traveling across the Everglade Kingdom or what's left as the Argonians and Achaemenidians washed over the land.

Amethyst looked out the window as Artemis spoke, ''Grish, why do we need to involve ourselves in this war?''

The orc girl looked at her with a smile. ''To grow stronger and gain experience, plus the Wildheart Kingdom is paying a fortune for powerful adventurers to help push the Southmen back south,'' she said.

''Rumors speak of the Demon of Thalassia holding them back at the King's Pass, but who knows what the truth is,'' Estelle commented as she sharpened her blade.

''Do you think Azhar'Zul will meet us there?'' Amethyst asked as she looked at the group.

Artemis smiled, ''It will be a while before we see him again. Aetos is wandering around Zarandar trying to find a Soul Mage to help that fluff ball, but I'm sure it will be a few months until you reunite with your lover, Little Bird,'' she said.

"Shut up, fish! I have a bad feeling about this all," the Phoenix girl replied with a frown. The world will

Amethyst jumped up on the wall, summoning her wings, and dived off the bridge before soaring into the air. When she was high enough, she fired a dozen Cosmic Bullets at the Southmen, who were getting to their feet.

The projectiles pierced their bodies, giving the women a head start. Following that, a volley of arrows forced Amethyst to fly off, which caused the enemy to turn toward the other three and attack.

Estelle was in front and cast Solar Shield to block the attacks. Thousands of arrows and spells hit the bridge, but the blonde knight held firm as Artemis fired off several explosives while Grishna cast Earth Bolt and Razorwind Blades at the surviving soldiers.

As the three women below started climbing, Amethyst swooped over the Southmen, who went to attack by casting Cosmic Bullets and Stellar Arrows on top of them. Explosions rang out, but soon, she had to descend to the others as the counterattacks were coming too quickly for her to block or avoid.

A few attacks managed to get past her Cosmic Barrier; one of the arrows buried itself in her shoulder and exited through her back. Amethyst screamed in pain, but another hit her thigh and foot.

She managed to control her descent as she crashed down behind Estelle, who cast Healing Light on Amethyst after Grisha broke the arrows, allowing the blonde to pull them out before the wounds healed.

The four women climbed while Grishna cast Earth Bolts at the Southmen as Artemis sent several Aqua Bombs that hit the soldiers at the top. When the explosions erupted, some enemies were sent into the water below.
