Chapter 993: Radiance of Courage
"Cough... That was impressive..." Ling Ling complained by Hua Yue's side, trying her best to stand in front of her and shield her from the wind and rain.
"This time, it doesn't look good..." Mei Lan wiped the dust off her forehead, some settling on her hair, symbolizing the moment when her platinum shield was shattered.
The Starwings Knights gathered together, facing this wave of sword attacks, were like butterflies in a storm.
Many people, already hit by the impact of the platinum shield, lost consciousness and fell behind the Starwings Knights' position.
The remaining few members of the Starwings Knights stood up with great difficulty.
Without the protection of the platinum shield, this wave of sword attacks could annihilate the Starwings Knights.
This is an unstoppable map attack, clearly launched by a magic sword, but there is no trace of abyssal power in it.
It's just a "phenomenon" caused by swinging the sword.
"Captain... our opponents are very dangerous this time!" Even a fool like Ling Ling could feel the immense difference in strength.
"I suggest... we retreat..." Mei Lan shook her head, this battle was like ants trying to move a tree, there was hardly any possibility of winning from the beginning.
"In my divination... there is no future in which we can win..." Robin shrugged, this prophecy was too simple, she didn't even need the blood of the Robins to know that grim future.
"Yes... cannot win..." This time, Hua Yue, the leader of the Starwings Knights, had to admit that the Starwings Knights had no chance of winning this battle. N0vel_Biin hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
However, she didn't know why, but when she looked at the black figure, a natural urge to fight surged from her heart.
"Can you feel it too?" Holding her chest, Hua Yue could sense her heartbeat accelerating.
"Hmm, how should I put it... I feel really unwilling..." Ling Ling gritted her teeth and stood tall.
Always afraid of hardships and tiredness, and being sheltered since childhood, like sweet milk in a greenhouse, when she looked at the aloof black figure, she suddenly felt a fighting spirit.
"This is really... unrealistic, irrational." Mei Lan took off her glasses, cleaned them, and put them back on.
Only Hua Yue faintly felt that perhaps, at this moment, the strongest member among the Starwings Knights was not her, nor Xiao Cao, but this child who was doted on by everyone.
She had something hidden in her, even though she looked just like an ordinary little girl.
But she was a child chosen by "Mei", a mysterious girl who suddenly appeared like a gift from heaven to the Starwings Knights.
If there was something unpredictable in the entire Starwings Knights, then that variable would be "Mumu".
"That sister...is really amazing..." Mumu's eyes looked at the black figure in front of her, and some kind of intuition told her that the power displayed by the other person at this moment was even more incredible than anything she had ever seen.
That sword wave that almost devastated the Starwings Knights was just a glimpse of her true strength.
Merely standing there, she was as deep and unfathomable as a huge abyss.
"Ah...I know...her strength is impossible to imagine."
"But, we are not weak either, right?" Hua Yue gently caressed Mumu's head, and then stood up.
It was clearly a battle that was destined to be lost, so it was time to gracefully admit defeat.
When faced with an unbeatable enemy, surrendering is also acceptable.
In the Code of Knighthood, there isn't a rule that says we must fight until the last person standing, refusing to retreat even when blood is shed.
Hua Yue's belief is to preserve our forces to the greatest extent possible and only sacrifice when absolutely necessary.
Why is it that just by seeing this dark figure, there is an extremely intense feeling in my heart?
I don't want to admit defeat.
Only against this opponent, I don't want to say the words "I lost," not even in death.
Oddly enough, it's not just her, but the other members of the Starwings Knights as well.
The sword broke, the shield shattered. With just one swing of their sword, the Starwings Knights were left in tatters. However, everyone's eyes didn't darken, but instead became even more radiant.
That is the resolve and courage of these young girls, who will never give up no matter what they face.
