Chapter 621 Small Celebration

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* The three girls clash at high speed without taking a single break. After another few minutes, Tylie and Nissa stop and raise their hands to show they are giving up.

"Huft.. Huft… You are really ridiculous. We will have various wounds all over our body if we are the other races or humans." Tylie while calming her rough breath.

Currently, Tylie and Nissa's clothes are riddled with small holes. Fortunately, Lily is still mindful and not making any large holes that expose their body. Nissa also notices this and feels a little bit down.

Among the five, she is the best in close combat and direct confrontation. Even Lilith needs a lot of effort to beat her, yet Lily can read all her rhythms and patterns to predict her movement.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* As the fight ends, everyone cheers and claps the three girls.

"That's awesome!!" cheered one of the soldiers.

"I never thought to see the Silver Flash's action once again." commented another soldier.

"Damn, she is as fast as rumored." another soldier commented.

"Come to think of it, which one is faster? Is it the Crimson Flash or Silver Flash?" asked another soldier.

"Blasphemy!! Of course, it is our beloved Duchess!!" roared another knight while showing a tattoo of Duchess Amberblaze on his body.

"Shut up, Fool!! Did you say our Silver Flash Lily is not fast enough?!" retorted another soldier.

Then, the soldiers start having their own arguments about their idol. Seeing this, Angus could only shake his head.

'I never thought Lily would have her own fan base.' thought Angus.

"You seem quite popular, Miss Silver Flash." said Tylie.

Lily didn't respond and tilted her head in confusion.

"My name is Lily Graham and not Silver Flash. Please remember it." said Lily expressionlessly before playing back with her daggers.

"Urgh… Are every human like her?" commented Nissa.

"Don't worry. She is a special case. You are Tylie and Nissa, right?" asked Brigida while giving them a refreshment.

Although Angus and Jayna didn't restrict Brigida like a prisoner, Jayna still wanted to make her as a personal maid. With the help of their absolute command, it is easy to bend the prideful Brigida to doing all the maid work.

They no longer worry about private daily necessities inside their private area.

"Yes, we are. You are?" asked Tylie cheerfully.

"My name is Brigida Nergal. You are pretty strong. Did the other girls also be as strong as you two?" replied Brigida.

"Nergal?! No, the strongest of us is…" said Tylie before stopping

Tylie finds their youngest Lilith rooted on her spot and keeps peeking at Angus from a distance. Unlike before, she didn't dare to approach Angus and talk to him directly.

'She is getting worse!!' thought the other four Altras.

Brigida also noticed Lilith and nodded her head. It is not like she doesn't understand what Lilith feels. As a prodigy, she has a different viewpoint than others. If it is not up to her standard, she will ignore it or not even glance at it.

Yet, Angus is taking her attention and shining brightly like a sun. If the others are painted in black and white, Angus is like a vibrant colorful rainbow. Fortunately, she immediately suppressed this feeling as a mind expert.

"What did you mean by she is different?" asked Nissa while ignoring Lilith's behavior.

"Let's just say she is not the same race as us." said Brigida.

"I see." replied Nissa.

"Attention, Everyone!!" shouted Elder Zeth while standing beside Angus.

The soldiers immediately stop talking and focus on Elder Zeth.

"Some of you already hear the purpose of today's gathering. But, I will explain it again since some people joined us at the last minute. We will have a mocking battle with Lily, a.k.a Silver Flash."

"We will start with ten people fighting her at once and slowly increase the number. Don't worry about getting injured, as some healers are stationed nearby. Still, it is best if you do it with consideration."

"For people interested in fighting with Lily, please send your name to the staff to be recorded. Those not participating in the fight are free to do anything as long as you don't interrupt the fight." explained Elder Zeth.

"If you plan a personal duel, just notify the staff nearby. Baron Angus, is there anything you want to add?" said Elder Zeth.

"Nope. I think that's all." replied Angus shortly.

"Then, let's begin!!" said Elder Zeth.

"WOOO!!" cheered everyone.

Although the war ended fast and was quite an anti-climax, everyone was still happy and festive. For months, they are always tense as death looms over them during the war. This is one of the opportunities for them to take a break and release some steam.

Some knights and soldiers even bring alcoholic drinks and food to make it merrier. Unfortunately, all drinks are burned to nothingness by Jayna before they can even take a single sip of it.

The Fire Phoenix becomes furious when she notices Anna sneaking around to try the alcoholic drink. Still, everyone didn't mind it since Anna is also quite famous for her unique behavior.

During her stay at the Fortress, she often pranked everyone. She even sent some people to a coma by casually bumping them when she was not looking around. Everyone couldn't imagine what would happen if she got drunk and suddenly decided to destroy the whole Fortress.

Soon, the mocking battle goes on. Some knights were also interested in sparring with the five Altras. Some bold ones even ask Brigida and Jayna for a spar despite knowing their identity. However, Angus didn't mind it since it was a good experience for the girls.

"Hmm.. I didn't expect there to be a lot of people who join us." said Elder Zeth.

"Although the human race is not battle hungry, the high-grade soldiers have a tendency to fight. Otherwise, they will never break their limit and reach their current level." replied Angus.

"True. Based on my experience, all high-grade people are quite battle crazed. Even those lazy elves will ask for a spar or fight occasionally." said Benjamin.

"Really?! Come to think of it, I never fought any elves before. I wonder if they are as strong as the rumor." said Elder Zeth.

"Nah… Those people are just a bunch of lazy gardeners." The three people heard a reply from nearby.

Angus and the others find a black panther beastman with leather armor standing beside them.

"You are?" asked Elder Zeth.

"Ahh… Where is my manner? My name is Xifor, leader of the Red Beast mercenary. I hope you don't mind my members and me joining the fun." replied the beastman mercenary.

Besides Nergal, the Heart kingdom also hires some mercenaries who are affiliated and active in their kingdom. One of them is a Red Beast mercenary. A group of mercenaries consists of a beastman.

"Sure. This event is open to everyone. It also acts as a small celebration for the wars since we still didn't officially celebrate it." replied Angus before Elder Zeth could speak.

"That's glad. We beastman is quite battle maniacs. I hope you don't mind my members letting out some steam." said Xifor.

"Then, you should join the battle too. It will be a good experience for the girls since Beastman is rare in our kingdom." said Angus.

"Ohh.. Can I? However, I don't feel interested in those girls. Call me weird, but we beastman don't like to hurt women, especially the beautiful ones." replied Xifor playfully while ignoring Angus' last comment.

"Then, who is the one that gets your interest?" asked Angus.

"You, of course. I hear Baron Victory is quite a capable combatant. So, may I have the honor to confirm this rumor myself?" asked Xifor.

"Angus…" warned Elder Zeth.

Before Elder Zeth finished his sentence, "Sure. I also want to try the famous strength of the beastman myself." said Angus casually.

"Angus!!" called Elder Zeth again.

"Don't worry, Elder Zeth. It's just a spar. Besides, everyone is free to fight here." reassured Angus.

"Great!! Let me notify the staff now." said Xifor excitedly.

"No need. Let's just fight nearby. Elder Zeth, could you please give us the start signal." said Angus while walking away with Xifor.

In the end, Elder Zeth could only release a sigh and follow them. But he is still wary of Xifor. Although their event was open to everyone, mercenary groups usually didn't like to join the army event. They are rarely involved with the army unless they are called for something.

Most of the mercenaries or guilds only care about their payment. As soon as they get their payment, they will leave and go on their own. This is a common habit for all mercenary groups. Hence, it is unlikely for any mercenary to join this small event.

After taking a distance from Lily's battle, "Before we fight, may I ask one thing?" asked Angus.

"Hmm?" replied Xifor.

"May I know what kind of beastman you are?" Asked Angus.

"As you can see, I am a Black Panther beastman. Is there anything wrong?" asked Xifor.

"Nahh… I just feel like you are more like a lion than a panther." said Angus.

Hearing this, Xifor gives a wide grin, unlike his previous demeanor.

"You goddamn right, brat!!" said Xifor.
