The Demon God Soldier instantly disintegrated under Yoshino's El Kanaph attack, and at the same time, several whale-shaped airships behind it were also destroyed. Furthermore, after destroying these things, it did not dissipate but pierced through to outside the GreatBridge fortress until the El Kanaph disappeared into the sky, as if it intended to break through the heavens.
"Wahahaha~ Nagi, did you see that! This is the strength of Yoshino, the one you just wanted to hide behind the team! Can your Thousand Thunders achieve this level? Even if it were me, I'd need most of my power to reach this extent. It's truly amazing." After the initial shock, Jack Lakan immediately recovered and burst out laughing at Nagi. He was somewhat amazed by Yoshino's attack. With his physical abilities, he could block this attack.
But how much combat ability he would retain after enduring it was hard to say. From his countless battle experiences, he could tell that the attack Yoshino unleashed was the strongest attack, concentrated at 'one point.' This attack had immense destructive power and penetrating force. It was already difficult for him to defend against it. As for how much combat power he could maintain after withstanding this attack, only personal experience could determine that. However... Jack Lakan looked at the attack that had vanished without a trace and decided not to tempt fate by experimenting. He still wanted to live for a few more years.
"Hmph! That's right! Few members of our Red Wings are weak! Although I have ten thousand ways to deal with these Demon God Soldiers, I've re-evaluated Yoshino's combat power. This Demon God Soldier should be these guys' ace in the hole. Now, let's break them all in one fell swoop!" Nagi said excitedly, also happy about Yoshino's change. This growth meant he wouldn't have to worry too much about Yoshino in future missions.
"H-how is this possible! To... to be defeated in one blow by the enemy, my ace! Is this really what Her Highness the Saintess did? Really! Didn't those useless imperial intelligence agencies tell me that Her Highness the Saintess had no combat power? An ability to pierce through a Demon God Soldier in one blow is called having no combat power? Are those intelligence personnel eating shit? I'm so angry!?" The commanding officer stationed at the GreatBridge fortress, seeing this scene, angrily flipped over everything on his desk and then furiously pointed at his subordinates, roaring. The imperial intelligence agents had collected intelligence for over a year, only to provide information stating she had no combat power, putting them in such a dangerous situation now.
"Th-then what should I do now, commander? Our secret weapon has been destroyed, and it seems the GreatBridge fortress is about to fall." The subordinate said meekly. The Empire had put a lot of effort into capturing the GreatBridge fortress. Was all of it going to vanish here now?
"No! Absolutely not! Even so, we must continue to fight! If we flee and the Empire finds out, they will definitely not let us off! Now, all we can do is fight to the death." The commander said with a serious expression. He knew that even if he fled, the Empire would surely make them pay for losing the GreatBridge fortress. "Send out all members stationed at the GreatBridge fortress. There are only a few of them. Unless they have infinite magic power, I don't believe we can't wear these guys down!"
After some time, looking at the continuous stream of enemies, the members of the Red Wings also realized that something was amiss. Despite their intense firepower, the enemy showed no signs of retreating but kept pouring out to their deaths! This phenomenon made even the not-so-bright Nagi understand what it meant.
"It seems they want to play a war of attrition with us using human wave tactics. It looks like things are getting a bit troublesome. [Gravity Sphere]" After knocking down a few more soldiers who tried to ambush him, Al said leisurely, showing no signs of pressure and still looking as relaxed as ever, completely disregarding the countless people in front of him.
"Hahahaha!!! Come on! Come on! The more people, the better! Make me even happier!" Jack Lakan said carelessly. In his eyes, no matter how many cannon fodder there were, they were still cannon fodder. Enemies of this level, no matter how numerous, could not undergo a qualitative change. These people were simply offering themselves up.
"That's right! That's right! If it were that easy for us to retake the GreatBridge fortress, it would be too boring! Let's make things more interesting." Nagi laughed heartily.
"Please! You guys should at least show some tension, alright? We're currently surrounded. [Thunder Sword]" After dispatching another group of people, Konoe Eishun muttered to himself. Why did these guys show no stress at all? Seguto, on the other hand, turned his head and glanced at Yoshino, seemingly signaling something to her.
"Mhm, I understand." Yoshino nodded, understanding Seguto's meaning. Then, another Yoshino emerged from the shadows, bringing out Shiina, who was hidden in the shadows, and handed her over. Although summoning Zadkiel didn't require her to be nearby, Yoshino wanted Shiina to stay by her side, as it gave her a sense of security.
"W-wah~ It seems you called me out, Yoshino. You still need my help, don't you? You still need me by your side, don't you?" After putting the puppet back on her left hand, Shiina's energetic voice came out. She looked at the scene full of soldiers and said indifferently, "So many small fries, no wonder you called me out, Yoshino."
