Four days later, six people arrive in front of a large wall made of stones. On the side of the wall is a small gate where guards are standing while checking those entering the gate.

"Look! Many people are entering the fort." Ming Si said with excitement as her tail began swaying to and fro.

"It looks like many reinforcements are coming from different cities entering the fort." Wuji Jiao said as he scrutinized the crowd.

"Let's go, we can go in…" Agnes said but she suddenly stopped.

s.h.i.+n Jiao also stopped. He can feel that the fort has a weird vibe in it.

"s.h.i.+n… s.h.i.+eld. There is a holy force s.h.i.+eld." Agnes said feeling a bit pale.

However, s.h.i.+n Jiao smiled and somewhat grinning. He feels that he wanted to tease this woman. She actually didn't notice that she cannot use dark elements anymore. s.h.i.+n Jiao has always reminded her to not use dark elements for a long time now. The reason for this is not because for her not to be discovered, but instead something else.

When he healed her wounds from the effect of the holy pill, he also tried to eliminate all the dark elements inside her body. And while she didn't use any darkness elements inside her, the other elements became stronger hence fully illuminating her demonic powers.

So now her body is fully devoid of the demonic elements without her knowing it because the other elements have already balance everything out.

When she attacked the giant plant creature with a wide-area lightning storm, she didn't even notice that she didn't use her demonic power at that time.

As an Elemental Lord, Agnes is still sensitive to the elements around her, hence she immediately feels the strong holy elements on the force field.

Her face is now in a panic.

"If we didn't get inside the fort then the people in these parts would have their suspicion on you." s.h.i.+n Jiao whispered.

"You can just grit your teeth, maybe you will not suffer that much. Don't worry I'll support you." s.h.i.+n Jiao said.

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Agnes was touched.

"Alright… what could a mere holy s.h.i.+eld do to me? Humph…" Agnes said as she lifted her head and walked in line.

However, as she drew closer her hands began to shake.

Suddenly a strong arm wrapped around her shoulder and slowly guided her towards the gate.

"Where are you from humans?" a guard asked as he scrutinized s.h.i.+n Jiao and his group.

"We are from the Wu kingdom and are here to help with the war." s.h.i.+n Jiao said as he showed them his identification slab.

"These two are my slaves and those three are our companion we have met on our way." s.h.i.+n Jiao added.

When the guard saw the beautiful face of Agnes and the cat woman Meng Si, his expression suddenly changed.

However, he regained his composure and just waves his hand to let the people in. But Agnes is resisting taking a step forward.

s.h.i.+n Jiao suddenly lifted her and suddenly walked towards the barrier. His movement was suave and smooth that the people around them were stunned. They didn't expect such a scene to occur in this place.

"How could that man be so frivolous with his woman?"

"Shameless cur."

"What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

The people cursed upon seeing the scene. But these people are just frustrated upon seeing the beauty in the arms of a man. In truth, they wanted to be in s.h.i.+n Jiao's shoes lifting a beauty in their arms.

"s.h.i.+n!" Agnes yelped.

But she felt helpless so she just closed her eyes while gritting her teeth. But she waited and waited, but after a while, she felt nothing. So she slowly opens her eyes and saw the grinning face of s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"You… you… scoundrel! Shameless! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" she shouted with a flushed face as she hit s.h.i.+n Jiao over and over in his st.u.r.dy chest.

But she is still in his arms showing that grin.

"Put me down! Put me down now!" she commended.

She was feeling helpless and annoyed as she glared at s.h.i.+n Jiao.

"Okay, okay… that was my fault. But I can't help with teasing you. You're... if you have seen your reaction you were like…" s.h.i.+n Jiao teased as he acted her reaction.

"Shameless… I hate you…" Agnes said grumpily.

The bickering of the two dumbfounded their group because they have no idea what is happening.

"Alright… I'm sorry… I already remove the dark elements in your body. Two days ago your body is already devoid of your demonic powers." s.h.i.+n Jiao whispered.

Upon hearing his words, a shocked and doubtful expression appears on her face. But she can't deny the fact that she didn't feel the pain of entering a holy field. Usually, when she wanted to break through a place s.h.i.+elded with holy elements, she would cover her body with thick darkness elements and forcefully charge in.

…

The group entered the fort and saw the condition of the place. The place near the wall is full of wounded soldiers walking to and fro doing their own business. As they walked closer the stench of blood became thicker and heavier.

"Ugh… This is terrible." Ming Si muttered as she turned her gaze all over the place.

"Guys, we will go to the recruitment center. How about the three of you?" s.h.i.+n Jiao asked.

"It's okay, senior. We can now go to our squad and report in. Although we are late, I'm sure our squad leader can accept our reasons."

"Well, if you ask me, I think your squad leader is trying to kick you out of the army," Agnes muttered with a smirk.

s.h.i.+n Jiao was appalled at the sudden change of this woman's att.i.tude. But her haughtiness and domineering att.i.tude is something that's already embedded into her bones. The ones humble and submissive human has already changed into a domineering queen.

"Haha… you're right senior sister. But for all the help that you gave us, we are truly grateful." Kei Jo said with a bow followed by the two beside him.

"Alright… alright, get going then." Agnes waved her hand.

"Okay guys, take care of yourselves." s.h.i.+n Jiao said with a smile while shaking his head at Agnes's nonchalant expression.

The three didn't mind it because they are used to it. But in the corner of his eyes, he can see that Agnes is actually trying to control herself.

Suddenly a soft arm hugged her from behind.

It was Ming Si.

She had tears already in her eyes as she burry her head on Agnes's back.

"Ai… Ai… this girl. You are making me lose face." she said as she patted the soft hand hugging her.

"I will miss you, Sister Agnes…"

"Sigh… me too. You take care of yourself now. Don't be a hero in the front lines, okay?" Agnes said as she patted the hand.

"Umm." nodded Ming Si.

After she let go, Ming Si ran towards the two while wiping her tears.

The two have already bonded together like sisters while traveling and have shared a lot of things. Agnes acted like an older sister trying to protect and give advice to her younger sister.

Waving their hands the two groups separate and went their own way.

"Do you think we can meet again?" Agnes asked.

"Who knows? I have the same experience in my travel and with this world being too big, the probability is very low." s.h.i.+n Jiao said.

After the goodbyes, s.h.i.+n Jiao and his group directly went to the recruitment center for those who wanted to join the war.

And from there they can see a long line of people.

"Wow, there are many who truly wanted to fight in this war," Agnes said.

"Yeah, most of them are beast-men thought. I think they are here to fight against the demons who wanted to invade their motherland."

"Sigh… This is truly a terrible mistake." Agnes said with her mood suddenly turned sour.

s.h.i.+n Jiao can understand her feelings. Because she has already calmed down, she can now think calmly and has realized that everything the demons are doing is none sense. But she cannot change the fact that the demons would not stop and would always succ.u.mb to their carnal state.

While lining up, s.h.i.+n Jiao noticed the changes in the air.

The two suddenly look at each other and a tacit understanding appears on their faces. Dragging little Jinyu Ji, s.h.i.+n Jiao and Agnes stop lining up and they ran towards the wall.

On the way, they can see the soldier suddenly running along with them towards the top of the wall.

The two knew that there is a very strong aura slowly forming just outside of the wall. They knew not what it was but that strong aura is like a spell of doom. So without a second thought, s.h.i.+n Jiao and Agnes didn't hesitate to run up the stairs.

The soldiers saw them but didn't stop them. They don't have time to think of anything else right now. As warriors, they can also feel the danger they are about to face.

When the three reached the top of the curtain wall, they can see the rows of soldiers standing behind the parapets in a neat row. Each is wearing standard military leather armor over their robes and a metal helm.

But s.h.i.+n Jiao's eyes are not concentrated on the impressive lines of soldiers. His eyes are focused on the distant horizon because that is where he can feel that domineering and oppressive presence.

"s.h.i.+n, there!" Agnes suddenly pointed at a certain direction.

When s.h.i.+n Jiao saw this, he immediately took out his goggles and takes a look.

But then, suddenly his vision turned dim.
