"Are you feeling better?"

Anna patted Nanawa on the back, and her stomach felt like a shareholder was churning, but she finally endured it.

When the wounded man was carried up, he remained conscious, and he kept repeating, "Help me, help me......" The despair and begging in his eyes was poignant. Seeing the intestines hanging outside her stomach, Nanava spit it out.

Even so, she insisted on completing the treatment. After Brian helped put the intestines back into the wounded's stomach, Nanava reached out and closed her eyes to heal the wound.

"Well...... the little girl's appearance looked a little sluggish, she leaned against Anna's side, and said softly, "I heard the trumpet for the first time today, is Your Highness in trouble?"

"I don't know," Anna shook her head, she wanted to go to the other side of the city wall to have a look, but she was afraid that she would cause trouble for Roland. She was a little envious of the nightingale now, and that kind of silent ability to move was really convenient.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound in the direction of the city wall, and everyone felt a slight tremor.

Brian stood up and walked around the room with some restlessness.

"Take it easy, lad," Baron Pyne wiped his sword, "losing your cool before you go into battle will only make the bad outcome worse." And it's not bad yet. โ€

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency," replied Brian, "I just feel uneasy at the thought of someone fighting to the death on the walls and wasting my time here. Guarding this town should have been my duty. โ€

"Perhaps," Pyne shrugged, "but it's not your job to guard the town alone. I heard that His Royal Highness will canonize you as a knight after winter, then you should understand that the first principle of knighthood is allegiance. Since he needs you to protect Anna, you should do your duty. โ€

"You...... That's right," Brian hesitated for a moment, then sat back in his seat.

But soon they heard a second long trumpetโ€”more rapid than the first, and it rolled over everyone's hearts like thunder.

Pine frowned.

"Anna!" Nanawa exclaimed.

He turned his head and saw the witch walking straight towards the door, and Brian immediately chased after her and stopped her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to guard the walls, and now is the time," Anna said calmly, "as long as you go with me, you won't be disobeying Your Highness's orders." โ€

Brian was stunned, he looked up and looked at Pyne.

What a girl, the baron thought to himself, at least he couldn't fault this sentence. Because His Royal Highness the Prince did not stipulate that she must stay in the medical hospital. And listen to Nanawa, she can summon fire. If the situation is really tense now, the addition of a witch may be able to turn the tide.

Thinking of this, he nodded, "Protect her." โ€

"Yes!" Brian replied aloud.

Seeing the two leaving, Nanawa asked, "Father, aren't you going?"

"My battlefield is here, good daughter," the baron smiled, "neither the beast nor the devil will let them hurt you." โ€

Not far from the city wall, Anna and Brian trotted along the stone path to the east, and when they reached the central watchtower, they realized that things had become very bad.

A huge gap had been made in the wall, and Roland's guards were holding their shields, but several were still thrown to the ground. In particular, a fanged beast shaped like a wild boar was simply unstoppable when it sprinted, and the guards standing in front of it were almost knocked away with their shields.

"Hey, it's dangerous here, you get out of here!" someone saw Anna in a strange outfit and dissuaded her.

Anna turned a deaf ear, and she walked straight towards the gap. After bursting out of the crowd, the beast reversed course and charged directly at Anna. Brian, who was acting as a guard, quickly stepped forward to grab the side, lowered his body, and swung his sword to slash - the mad beast had no intention of dodging, and his front legs hit the blade of the sword, knocking the long sword away in an instant, and at the same time, the momentum of his body also crushed the leg bone that cut out the gap.

It screamed and rolled on its side, struggling like a dehydrated fish, and no one dared to approach it for a moment. Anna walked over to the beast and pressed her hands to the ground, and flames burst out from beneath the beast, quickly roasting it into a mass of charcoal.

Roland also noticed the sudden flames, and when he found out that it was Anna who had personally entered the battle, he was scared out of a cold sweat.

I didn't have this in my plan!

He had originally planned for Nanava to brush up on the militia's favor, and to make Anna's existence public after most people accepted the witch.

But now it's too late to say anything, he immediately turned his head and said, "Leave me alone, you go and protect her!"

Anna must not afford to lose, as she is an important person in the replacement of key processes in industrial development, and her injury will bring immeasurable damage.

"I see," said Nightingale, "please be safe, too. โ€

Anna walked to the breach in the wall, and most of Roland's guards had seen the strangely dressed girl and moved out of the way. She stood in the middle of the shield wall, her arms stretched out to her sides. Flames poured out of the palms of the hands like vines, climbing up along the broken surface of the wall.

The mouths of all those who witnessed this spectacle grew in disbelief as they watched a wall of flames slowly rise, filling the gap in the wall. This was no illusion, the heat of the flames caused the guards at the breach to retreat, and the surrounding snow quickly melted, forming a white mist that rose from the ground.

The beasts also felt the heat of the wall of fire, and they fled in both directions, occasionally one or two of them rushing into the wall of fire, but they did not take two steps before they were killed.

"Everyone, go up to the walls!" Roland took the opportunity to shout, "the pikes regroup! Orion, free fire!"

With that, he snatched Carter's musket, climbed the wall, and shot at the beast with no way out.

The prince's actions immediately encouraged everyone present, and it has to be said that in this era, there are very few deeds of nobles or royal family leaders, and when Roland, as the fourth prince of the kingdom, is willing to fight with the militia selected from the commoners, the morale boost brought is huge.

The crowd chanted the slogan "Defend the Frontier Town!" and kept the defensive line as it had been when the walls were not breached.

The battle continued until it was dark, and there were no more living beasts left in front of the walls.

The flames faded, and Anna wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and walked out of the gap.

Then, Roland saw the unthinkable.

The guards clenched their fists and bowed their heads to her. Then the militia did not shout the word demon or demon girl, but watched her silently, as if they were infected, and there was a brief silence on the border after the battle.

A power that has never been seen before is terrifying, but when it is on one's side against an evil enemy, fear fades away and is replaced by trust and gratitude.

Roland suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked up to Anna, only to find her pale, staggering, and shaky.

"Are you alright?" he worriedly grasped the girl's shoulders, who gave the prince a reluctant smile before falling headlong into his arms.
