After Defeat, the Empress’s Negotiating Chip Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 226

226~

Divine Force, this was probably the only trump card she could use. Otherwise, she'd truly have no chance of winning.

Although she could only use it once, right now she had no choice but to use it. If she didn't, both she and Xiyan would suffer.

She'd rather let her body be left with permanent problems than let her body be touched even once by this beast.

The purest Divine Force and heavily diluted Divine Force were completely not on the same level, so the outcome was also very clear.

The little Princess drew out the dagger that had already been enhanced into a God-Slaying Weapon, planning to resolve the problem while using as little Divine Force as possible and leaving as few permanent injuries as possible.

"It's this dagger again..."

He, the First Prince of Glaze Nation, Lin, hadn't forgotten that he'd died under this dagger back then.

He wanted to use this dagger to sever all the tendons in the little Princess's hands and feet, making her lie in bed forever like a cripple, waiting for his...

...

Gripping the dagger and step by step approaching Lin, it actually made him have an illusion that he might really be killed by this powerless vase.

"So, could you please die again? My dear Prince Brother~"

...

...

"Halt! Who dares to approach casually? Don't you know this is Scarlet Phoenix Nation's army encampment!?"

"Where is your general?"

"How dare you! How can you meet the General just because you want to!?"

The young woman whose face was covered by a mask concealing her appearance was too lazy to waste words. She directly used magic power to push away all the nearby soldiers.

"I'll ask once more. Where is your general? I have business with him. If you dare to obstruct me again... I'll cripple you all!"

The young woman's words carried an unquestionable attitude, immediately making all the soldiers present start hesitating about whether or not to directly capture this young woman who'd come to disturb the army.

But they'd all just seen that casual release of magic power had sent a large group flying. To be able to do this, her understanding of magic definitely wasn't low! At least she had to be at Archmage level! A Great Mage didn't have the ability to purely use magic power to directly send people flying.

"...Go quickly, bring the General here!"

Right now, he didn't dare to be stubborn either. He could only first do as the young woman said. Once there was an opportunity, he'd cooperate with the General to capture this young woman.

After waiting a while, the General finally came out from the tent, planning to personally act to resolve this young woman who'd come from who knows where...

"Pfft...!"

"General! General, what's wrong with you!?"

The soldier hurriedly supported the General who'd almost gone "thud" and directly knelt down.

"She's the one you were talking about!?"

"Uh... Yeah? Is there a problem, General?"

"You fools!"

This was the current Empress of Scarlet Phoenix Nation! If they accidentally offended her, who knew when he'd be executed along with his entire clan just for stepping into the city gate with his left foot first!

"General?"

After glaring furiously at several soldiers, he immediately changed to a smiling face and greeted the young woman.

"My lord, please come inside."

...

"So who exactly is she? Why is the General being so polite to her? Is she from the Scarlet Maid Corps?"

"Who knows! I advise you to ask less about this kind of thing. Be careful or one day you might lose your life!"

The young woman sat in the tent. After casually setting up a barrier to prevent anyone from prying, she removed her mask.

"Your Majesty!"

"Rise. Tell me, what's the current situation? Why is the entire Glaze City surrounded by a barrier?"

"This... I'm sorry, I'm also not clear. I only know this must be a barrier set up targeting Her Highness Mo."

After personally watching the little Princess enter the city that day, the entire city was surrounded by a barrier. After that, they'd tried to break through, but even when an Archmage went into battle, they couldn't do anything about this barrier.

The magic power that could supply a barrier of this scale to operate, even draining two Great Archmages probably wouldn't be enough, right? But the facts were right before their eyes. Someone could actually provide sufficient magic power to keep this barrier stably operating.

After that, he'd had someone call for reinforcements. The result was... the Empress personally entered the field!

"Is there anything else to add?"

"No more..."

"Then I understand. Just continue stationing the army here. Once the barrier breaks, directly lead the troops into the city. Don't harm ordinary residents, and don't casually engage in combat with the soldiers stationed in Glaze City. Understand?"

"Understood!"

The meaning was, Her Majesty was going to personally break this barrier?

If it was a Great Archmage, perhaps it really was possible. After all, this was the pinnacle of combat power.

Afterward, after giving instructions, the Empress re-donned her mask, left the army encampment, and went beneath the barrier to investigate the situation.

Reaching out to touch the barrier, her fingertips instantly felt an electric stinging sensation for a moment, followed by a burning sensation. When she withdrew her hand, her palm had already been burned beyond recognition. But under her powerful recovery ability, it quickly returned to normal.

"Set up specifically for Mo?"

In her impression, on the continent there weren't any mages who could reach this degree. There were only about a dozen Great Archmages. It couldn't possibly be that all the Great Archmages had come to participate, setting up a barrier of this scale for the little Princess, right?

So it seemed only one possibility remained.

Condensing her magic power at her fingertip and forcefully poking it into the barrier, she discovered that the strength of the barrier before her couldn't prevent her from entering. It was like knowing she would come here and specifically establishing a backdoor.

Very obviously, this was also a trap, but she could only obediently enter the trap, because the little Princess was still inside.

"Let me see your purpose then."

If this was the case, perhaps she was also one of the targets.

Entering the barrier also required expending a portion of magic power, but this portion of magic power only needed less than a quarter hour to completely recover. For her own magic power storage limit, it was only a drop in the ocean.

...

...

"Your Highness Mo, quickly let me look at your wounds!"

"I'm fine. You should look at your own injuries first."

Compared to herself, the wounds on Xiyan's body clearly looked much more horrifying. One arm was almost severed. If not for those few strands of flesh still connected together, half the arm might have already fallen to the ground.

"But..."

"I order you, heal yourself first before worrying about me!"

"Mm..."

After being ordered, she could only first use magic to heal herself, treating her arm that could already be said to be severed.

Fortunately, an Archmage-level's self-healing ability was already formidable. Combined with healing magic, it should take less than a quarter hour to reconnect the severed limb.

"Sigh..."

The little Princess leaned against the wall and sighed.

The injuries on her own body didn't matter. As long as Divine Force kept her hanging on, she couldn't possibly die, let alone that the injuries on her body were all just minor scrapes and cuts.

This little loli maid Xiyan was good in every way. Her only flaw was that she placed her position in her heart too heavily!
