Chapter 167: Princess Silver Wolf Is Captured, and The Orc Army Is Destroyed

"She was indeed pretending."

Seeing the 'unconscious' wolf woman suddenly rise up, Rennes showed no surprise on his face.

He had suspected it before.

Now, the actions of this wolf woman undoubtedly confirmed his speculation.

"You despicable human, come out and fight me to the death."

Melita shouted angrily, her two legendary grade curved blades dancing wildly, attacking everything around her.

Under such fierce attacks, the already severely damaged magic lock immediately began to crumble.

"This wolf girl is really cunning."

"Even at this point, she still not giving up, hoping to lure me out."

Rennes shook his head and laughed helplessly.

He wasn't a hot-headed brute.

Without knowing what cards the other party had in their hands, he would be foolish to put himself in danger.

Using his innate ability of companion angel, he summoned a Holy Light Angel of the same level as himself (19th rank) to engage in a fierce battle with the wolf woman Melita.

Continuously depleting her stamina and fighting spirit.

After more than ten minutes, the condition of Melita worsened.

Her injuries became even more severe, and she was on the verge of death.

Triggering the five-second damage immunity effect of her Undying Body.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

Although Melita took advantage of the damage immunity BUFF and launched a reckless full-scale attack, she forcibly inflicted heavy injuries on the 19th rank Holy Light Angel, causing it to be forcibly sent back to the Heavenly Mountain Plane by the power of the contract.

But Rennes himself remained unharmed.

After the five-second of her immunity ended.

Without hesitation, Rennes released the long-planned 7th-level spell - Advanced Sleep Spell.

At this moment, Melita, who was in a dying state, was in an extremely poor physical condition.

Her reaction speed has plummeted to the extreme.

So she was directly hit by this spell.

This wolf girl instantly fell down, completely plunged into a true deep coma.

Unless Rennes dispels the spell, or waited for the spell effect to disappear in ten days or so.

Otherwise, this wolf girl will not wake up during her sleep at all.

"Phew, finally done."

Rennes breathed a sigh of relief.

He must be admit, this wolf girl is the strongest opponent he has ever encountered so far.

He had to use all his cards, plus battling with wits and cautious.

Only then did he successfully take her down.

After the battle, Rennes immediately began to search for spoils.

He suffered quite a bit in this battle.

Not to mention that extremely precious 9th-level magic scroll - Thunder of Destruction, was gone.

It made him feel quite heartbroken so he naturally had to make up for these losses from this wolf girl.

"This wolf girl indeed had a trick up her sleeve when she pretended to be 'unconscious' trying to deceive me."

One minute later.

Inside the wrist guard of this wolf girl, Rennes discovered a magic scroll engraved with numerous mysterious magical inscriptions.

Using his knowledge of arcane arts and magic in general.

After some identification, Rennes recognized the magic inscribed on this scroll - the Great Banishment spell.

This 9th-level magic is extremely famous, capable of banishing almost anything.

There were even rumors that a half-god mage once used this spell to banish an incarnation of a deity at the peak half god rank.

Thinking of this, Rennes suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Once again, he felt very fortunate for his caution.

Damn it, if he were really deceived by this wolf girl, he would be completely finished.

Even if he had ten lives, it would be useless, permanently lost in the endless space cracks, unable to return to the Roland continent plane.

He carefully stored this extremely dangerous magic scroll in his spatial ring.

Rennes then took off the wolf girl's spatial ring.

It took some effort to open it.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any surprising treasures inside.

However, there were quite a few magic crystals.

At least several hundred million of them and they were all of high quality.

Obviously, these magic crystals were obtained by this orc diversionary force through plunder.

Otherwise, who would carry so many high-quality magic crystals with them for no reason?

"Now they're a compensation for me, for the losses I endured."

Rennes had a smile on his face.

These several hundred million high-quality magic crystals were worth at least several tens of billions of gold coins.

It can be imagined how huge of a fortune this was.

In addition to the two legendary curved blades he took from the wolf girl (all epic-level equipment was destroyed), this battle can be considered a big harvest.

After collecting all the loot he had plundered.

Rennes casually took out a set of clothes and covered the wolf girl, Melita, to conceal her exposed body.

Then he bound her with a magic chain.

After doing all this, Rennes finally removed the 3rd-level magic lock.

The boundless void then collapsed completely.

The semi-transparent crystal ball, which served as the core of the lock, reappeared in front of him.

However, compared to before, this magic crystal ball had several cracks.

It went from being brand new to a battle-damaged version.

Not to mention being scrapped, but it would also be difficult to use it for anything significant if not repaired, he then casually put it away.

Rennes held the unconscious wolf girl in one hand and flew back to the city of Dilan.

At this time, the city of Dilan was still filled with the sound of battle cries.

Human soldiers and hundreds of thousands of orc soldiers were engaged in a bloody battle of offense and defense.

Even the Governor Loska, who was in command, took action.

Activating his metal Dragon bloodline to initiate half-dragon transformation.

Joining forces against the previously escaped from Rennes, the Bison behemoth to fight against.

Blocking its attack on the walls of Dilan City.

However, due to the Bison behemoth's enormous size and tough skin, even though Governor Loska is stronger in terms of raw power, it was difficult for him to inflict fatal damage on it.

He can only rely on his own agility and stamina to slowly wear it down.

It can be seen that this battle is going to be a quite difficult one.

"Judgment of Light!"

Seeing this scene, Rennes naturally wanted to help his father-in-law.

He raised the holy Judgment great Sword high.

Condensing a giant energy sword over a hundred meters long, he slashed it towards the Bison Behemoth below.

This time, no one comes to the rescue it.

As expected, the Bison behemoth was directly pinned to the ground by Rennes.

Its head was split open directly.

Countless blood and brain matter flow out from it.

"Lord Marquis Rennes has returned."

"It seems that Lord Rennes has captured the commander of the Orc army."

"Great! We have won this great battle."

"Long live Lord Rennes."

The sudden fall of the Bison behemoth instantly attracted everyone's attention.

After understanding the situation, the people inside Dilan City immediately cheered and rejoiced.

"Oh no! Lady Melita has been captured by humans."

"Retreat! Retreat the entire army!"

"Lady Melita has been defeated! If we don't run now, our entire army will be wiped out."

Upon discovering that their supreme commander has been captured, all the orcs' faces turned pale.

Their morale instantly plummeted.

Those who reacted quickly turned their heads and fled as fast as possible into the distance.

"Kill all these damn invaders!"

"Attack with the entire army, kill all these orcs."

Seeing this, Governor Loska decisively issued the order to counterattack.

Shortly after, leading the charge, they rushed towards the orc army.

The human soldiers in the city also charged out with great momentum.

Like unleashed tigers.

As for the orcs, their elite forces were completely wiped out.

The orc soldiers had no more fighting spirit and only wanted to escape.

It was chaotic, they were simply no match for the human soldiers now.

After a siege and pursuit, almost the entire orc army of hundreds of thousands was wiped out.

Only less than thirty thousand orcs managed to escape in the chaos.

Achieving this glorious victory, Governor Loska did not forget the great contributor, Rennes.

He specifically held a celebration banquet for Rennes.

He also prepared to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor Kukarn, requesting rewards for Rennes' meritorious service.

After a series of toasts and mingling, Governor Loska asked Rennes how to deal with that wolf woman.

If they were to follow his plan, he would have already resorted to torture, forcing her to reveal all the confidential information about the orc army.

However, that wolf woman is Rennes' "spoils of war", so he can't overstep his authority.

"Let's give her some basic treatment and lock her up in the dungeon."

"I plan to try and extract confidential information about the orc army from her..."

Understanding the implied meaning of his father-in-law, Rennes readily agreed.

He still had to save face for his father-in-law.

"Yes. This matter is very important."

"If you can extract crucial military information from her, maybe your rank as a Marquis can be promoted again, becoming a duke..."

Loska said with a smile.

After reaching a consensus, the two of them quickly took action.

They had a healer treat the injuries on the wolf woman's body, ensuring that she was no longer in a life-threatening condition.

Then, they locked her up in the dungeon of Dilan City.

Due to being affected by Rennes' advanced sleep spell, she remained in a state of deep sleep.

As long as no one lifted the spell, there was no need to worry about her escaping.

The next day, in the early morning,

After a night of rest, Rennes had fully recovered.

After having a light breakfast, he went directly to the dungeon where the wolf woman was imprisoned.

At this moment, Melita was still in a state of deep sleep.

He checked her physical condition and confirmed that her fighting Qi was still depleted.

Only then did Rennes lifted the spell and woke her up from her slumber.

Melita then slowly opened her eyes.

She immediately started looking around her surroundings, quickly realizing her current situation.

It was obvious that she had been captured by this human in front of her.

"What is your name? And what is your identity?" Rennes asked directly.

Upon hearing this, there was no trace of emotion in Melita's silver-blue eyes.

Utterly calm.

She stared straight at Rennes, as if trying to firmly remember his face.

There was absolutely no intention to answer.

Clearly, she had no intention of cooperating with Rennes' questioning.

"How troublesome."

Seeing this, Rennes did not show any signs of anger on his face.

He had already anticipated this situation before coming.

The identity of this wolf woman was obviously not simple, it would be a dream to easily make her talk.

After a few more attempts,

Confirming that conventional methods were completely ineffective,

Rennes decided to use some unconventional means to make this wolf woman cooperate and reveal all the information she knew.
