The Spider-Elf, which could effortlessly crush a Tier Two Legend puppet like chopping vegetables, was clearly not an ordinary Tier Four Legend creature.

Fortunately, they were not without their trump cards.

Sherman turned his head to look at the figure standing by his side. The figure was draped in a large gray robe, concealing itself completely, even hiding most of its face under the brim of the hat, revealing only a pale chin.

To be honest, Sherman was quite surprised to learn that the figure was a puppet.

He had never seen a puppet so similar to a human being.

If he weren’t informed beforehand, he would have almost thought it was a living human.

Moreover, this puppet did not have the large and sturdy body typical of a golem, making one doubt its combat ability.

However, Sherman didn’t dwell on it.

If it were just an ordinary puppet, why would the teacher deploy it here, to deal with the Spider-Elf?

Since it was the teacher’s arrangement, there must be no problem.

"Please!" Sherman whispered to the gray-robed figure.

The latter nodded slightly.

A Secret Puppet, with a medium-sized soul crystal as its soul core, had already achieved a rudimentary intelligence.

Although still not comparable to Dragon Forest’s Butler No. 1, it could already accept and execute orders like a normal human, and engage in not-too-complex communication.

Swish!

The gray robe was flung open, revealing the tall and slender figure of a young girl.

Standing nearly one meter seventy, she wore a body-hugging silver scale armor that distinctly outlined her shapely curves, attracting quite some attention.

In front of all eyes, the girl leaped down from the city wall.

Her descent slowed abruptly mid-air before she hovered still for a moment, then suddenly shot up, streaking toward the front.

The Spider-Elf, busy slaughtering golems, immediately sensed the approaching threat, and its dual blades slashed forward abruptly. After a piercing sonic boom filled the air, two visible, pitch-black Sword Qi ripped through space toward the incoming figure.

The girl’s speed didn’t decrease as she collided head-on with the pitch-black Sword Qi.

At the moment of contact, an invisible force field suddenly appeared, blocking the two streaks of pitch-black Sword Qi.

Without hesitation, the girl swung her hand, releasing an azure lightning bolt that struck the Spider-Elf.

[Lightning Beam]!

Crack!

Dazzling electric light tore through the surrounding darkness.

Countless electric snakes appeared on the surface of the Spider-Elf, coiling endlessly on its skin. The intense pain made it let out a devastating scream.

At the rear of the Dark Elf army, the high-ranking Dark Elves who saw this scene all revealed looks of astonishment.

"Magic!"

"Is that girl a Wizard?"

"Is she the master of the Star Alliance?"

It was no secret in the underground world that the master of the Star Alliance was a powerful Wizard.

And this girl, who not only cast spells, but also immediately put the Spider-Elf at a disadvantage with such formidable strength, could be none other than the master of the Star Alliance, they thought.

"It must be her!"

The martial skill leader from the Lerita Clan showed an expression of excitement.

She was also the commander of this army.

"I didn’t expect the master of the Star Alliance to appear here. Perfect, as long as we kill her, the Star Alliance would fall into chaos, and we can seize the opportunity to launch a major offensive!"

The other high-level Dark Elves were also filled with joy.

In the corner, a glint of surprise flashed in Tajana’s eyes.

She hadn’t expected the renowned master of the Star Alliance to be such a young and beautiful girl.

However, it was said that Wizards had ways to slow aging, so one couldn’t judge age based on appearance alone. This girl might have actually lived for a hundred years or more.

While Tajana was pondering, the high-ranking Dark Elves decisively mobilized all their troops.

The Minotaur army and the Lizard Cavalry charged forward again.

Several elite Dark Elf warriors also slipped into the shadows, silently closing in on the battlefield.

On the city wall, Sherman, noticing the Dark Elf movements, unhesitatingly ordered the reserve troops to advance.

Tarren City was garrisoned by an entire small golem legion, and in terms of military strength, he felt no fear.

With the addition of large armies, the area in front of the city wall quickly turned into a chaotic battlefield.

On the ground, the golem legion was locked in a fierce battle with the Dark Elf army.

In the sky, the girl was engaged in a fierce fight with the Spider-Elf.

A kaleidoscope of magical glows flashed continuously in the air, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

One spell after another was unleashed from the girl’s hands, almost without pause, sometimes casting two or three spells simultaneously.

"Amazing!" Attila watched, jaw-dropped.

She had seen puppets capable of casting spells before—like elite Steel Golems and elite Dual-bladed Spiders, which could cast a few spells—but a puppet like the girl, casting spells endlessly, and even capable of casting Tier Three spells with casting speed that seemed almost like instant casting and compound casting combined, was something she had never seen before.

This was almost on par with an Official Wizard!

Sherman was equally astonished, his eyes gleaming brightly.

He had never thought that Puppet Refining techniques could reach such heights!

This was practically like creating a living Wizard!

Absolutely miraculous!

"Perhaps I should spend more energy researching Puppet Refining," Sherman silently pondered.

In contrast to the surprise on the Star Alliance side, the Dark Elves’ side was filled with shock.

"How can this be?"

"The Spider-Elf is actually not a match for that figure?"

"This was a Divine Favor created by the Goddess Queen!"

Seeing the Spider-Elf being driven back under the girl’s offensive, covered in wounds before long, the high-ranking Dark Elves were dumbfounded.

They had been invincible with the Spider-Elf before, which filled them with great confidence.

But no one had expected that their first battlefield confrontation with the Star Alliance would end in a crushing defeat.

For a while, the Dark Elves were a bit panicked and confused.

As the commander, the Lerita martial skill leader looked extremely grim.

At that moment, a sharp screech echoed from above the battlefield.

The Dark Elves looked up in astonishment, only to see the Spider-Elf tethered in mid-air by numerous serpentine, peculiar runes, unable to move, and a sharp longsword striking like thunder!

Chi!

The Demonized Longsword pierced through the chainmail without resistance, deeply embedding into the Spider-Elf’s chest. With a twist, it completely took the Spider-Elf’s life.

Seeing this, the Lerita martial skill leader’s face changed drastically. Without further hesitation, she decisively ordered the retreat.

A sharp horn sounded abruptly, and the Dark Elf army retreated in panic, fleeing backward.

On the city wall, Sherman waved decisively, sending out a flare that shot into the sky like fireworks, visible clearly from afar.

Tap, tap, tap!

Suddenly, rapid footsteps sounded intensively from the surrounding darkness.

Immediately afterward, a large number of Knights suddenly surged out of the darkness.

Leading them were the Dragon Antelope Knights, followed closely by the Demon Pattern Knight Order riding Black Rock Leopards.

Numerous cavalry units flooded in from all directions like a tide, charging at the Dark Elves with overwhelming force.

Considering the presence of the Spider-Elf, Sherman hadn’t mobilized the Demon Pattern Knight Order immediately to avoid unnecessary casualties. Instead, he had them lie in wait on the battlefield’s flanks, biding their time until the Spider-Elf fell and the Dark Elf forces were in retreat before launching that final blow.

And the effect was significant.

The Dark Elves hadn’t anticipated the Star Alliance having more reserved forces, and were caught unprepared. The retreat quickly devolved into a rout.

Numerous Dark Elf warriors were caught and killed by the cavalry during the route. Those who dared resist stood no chance against the Knights equipped with Magic Pattern Armor and were swiftly slain.

The Dark Elf army suffered a decisive defeat.

After a ruthless chase, only a few Dark Elves managed to escape into the darkness, disappearing from sight.

Sherman felt a tinge of regret.

The dark environment of the underground world indeed gave the Dark Elves too much advantage; otherwise, this could have been a perfect annihilation battle.

However, Sherman’s attention soon shifted back to the Spider-Elf.

He immediately summoned his men to prepare to send the Spider-Elf to Dragon Forest.

This was something the teacher had specifically instructed.
