Volume 53
On getting to the city gate, they see battalions of Barbarians launching forward to attack them with swords, spears and axes. Prince Lancelot cried out! Attack the enemies! Knights of Dorillas charges after them in full speed without hesitation, as they bravely slew their enemies with spears, swords, arrows and bombs. The head of the barbarians angry that most of his men are already down dead. Using his bow, he aimed an arrow at Lex, as it's about to hit him from close range, Anastasia who've noticed this, in panic flew down from the horse as she tries to block the arrow but it hits her. She falls to the ground bleeding intensely…
Lex, Lucas and Lancelot in confusion all rushes towards her side. Lancelot panics. You can't die, 'your Highness'. I can't let you die. It's all of my fault. I shouldn't have let you accompanied me to the battle field. I knew it was dangerous bringing you along with me but I was too blind to see that… Anastasia faintly smiled. It isn't your fault, 'You Highness'. It wasn't your fault that this had to happen. I'm glad you didn't stop me from coming. If by chance I don't make it out of the battlefield, please tell my dad I had no regret I left home... Lucas cried out. Stop saying such sad words, 'Your Highness'!... Nothing is going to happen to you… Lancelot speaks up in panic…. I don't think she got much time left. She's losing so much blood.
Lex exclaimed. Not while I can help it! I can't allow you die, Anastasia! You aren't permitted to die without my permission.... He breaks off the two edges of the arrows in her chest with both hands as Anastasia cried out in pain. Lex smiled then continues to speak. You have to bear this Anastasia. I know it's going to be painful.... She faintly nodded as she embraces Lex tightly, as he pushes the arrow out of her body making her scream aloud in pain. Then, he quickly tears out some fabrics of his clothes as he ties them around her chest to stop the bleeding.
He signs in relief as he focuses his gaze on Lancelot. Please, take care of her. I'm going after the head of the Barbarian. I have a score to settle with him. Lancelot nodded with a smile…. Lex turns to Diana who's now on close range trying to stop the barbarians from coming closer with the magic of flames she had just discovered some days back... She keeps aiming fire at them, burning some to ashes… I need your support to get rid of the head of the Barbarians, Diana. Said Lex as Diana nodded and followed him right into the midst of the barbarians. She releases fire from both hands as she charges forward against the barbarians. Many of the barbarians came down falling to the ground as Lex slew them all in one go with his sword... He comes face to face with the head of the barbarians.
You're going to regret laying a finger on her, Barbarian! He said angrily as he aimed his sword at him. An intense battle breaks out as the head of the barbarians' charges forward defending himself from the attacks of the angry Lex.
