Divine Luck: SSS-Rank Battle Maid Harem-Chapter 556: Cheesy

Zach didn't mind being the head of Poison's target. If anything, it aligned perfectly with what he wanted as he flung himself at it, once again leaping into the sky to reach the head he was going to take away from the Hydra.

At another location in the ruins of Ciel, closer to the Labyrinth's entrance than where the fight was taking place, two people returned to the surface in a blink. Their night blue robes and the owl markings on those robes revealed their affiliation as being of the Arlecch tribe.

One of them had a familiar face. It was Ulminer Go, who tried to, among other things, get rid of Alzara once during the desert floors when she waited for Zach to return after Nora's passing.

Ulminer Go showed a deferent attitude toward the sharp-looking man from the same tribe. The two looked around, taking in the current situation.

Both men gritted their teeth and clenched their fists when they saw the Hydra's condition. They glared at Zach for a few moments before their gazes fell to the side.

There, they noticed Yan, Oria, and the members of the army still willing to fight. They were preparing something.

"Let's go," The man with sharp features ordered before stepping forward, moving through the city with bluish light transporting him at an incredible speed. Ulminer Go followed him toward Yan and the others, light gathering at the top of his staff.

Yan looked at the fighters from both the army and the tribes gathering what remained of the explosives in one large pile on the best catapult. It wasn't much since it was just the scraps from the earlier round of attacks. But it was enough to deal at least some damage to the Hydra.

Zach needed all the help he could get. So, Yan was going to do this while Oria rested before they joined the fight itself. Suddenly, Yan's head whipped around almost so quick it cracked. He had an extremely bad feeling. A moment later, a blue arrow flew straight toward him, leaving a trail of light in its wake.

It was so fast that Yan didn't even have time to think about reacting. He did lower his head slightly, though, even if it wasn't enough.

"...Thanks," He said with a stiff throat as he looked at the translucent shield in front of him. Oria had noticed and protected him.

"Don't mention it. But I think we might be in trouble."

"As long as we're in trouble together."

"No. You can be cheesy after we win. Right now, I want you to focus."

"Right. Enzi, take everyone else and get clear. We'll try to lead those two away from here," Yan said in a calm voice that had no trouble reaching the Nilma chief's ears despite the ruckus caused by the fighting between Zach and the Hydra. Yan's voice was like a large ship cutting through the turbulent waves of the Hydra's screeching and roaring and the thuds and bangs from Zach's attacks.

Enzi started moving before he even saw the two attackers rapidly closing in on their location. He gathered everyone else, had them drop whatever they were holding, and pread out in the opposite direction of the attackers.

Their survival was the priority right now, even if it meant leaving Yan and Oria behind. They had to get out of the way and live so that they could pick up what they had dropped once Yan and Oria were done or had led the attackers away.

This was no time to think about how to help or regret their weakness.

If Yan told them to do something, they did it, no questions asked. It was partly because of Yan's mysterious vocal powers.

Another part of it was that Yan had proved repeatedly that he deserved their trust. He was capable, and he knew the best course of action.

"Not you, Lahso. You're fighting with us." That was why he stopped the knight who had followed him from the imperial palace from helping Enzi.

Lahso would have never left Yan's side if this had been a couple of months ago. His orders were to protect Yan, after all.

However, as they spent time together, overcame tribulations, and faced danger, Lahso's allegiance had slowly shifted from the Imperial Palace to Yan and Yan alone. His actions were Yan's orders, not whatever would keep Yan safe.

Lahso had also started showing off more of his personality and letting it slip that while he was a capable fighter and didn't fear death, he wasn't addicted to fighting. Unless Yan told him to, he wouldn't fight unnecessarily.

But this wasn't an unnecessary fight. Yan and Oria needed him to deal with the two members of the Arlecch tribe.

Lahso stood in front of Oria and Yan with his sword raised and his worn armor reflecting some of the rising sun's light.

The two members of the Arlecch tribe stopped in front of the trio and looked at them and the catapult. They didn't know what the trio thought a catapult would do to the Hydra, but attacking the Hydra alone was enough of an insult.

"What are you two doing?" Yan started questioning. "We are on the same side here! If we don't stop the Hydra, we're all going to die."

He had gotten along with the rest of the Sesha tribes that had made it out on the other side of the Children's attacks before the Children disappeared into the Labyrinth. He saw no reason why he couldn't get along with the Arlecchs as well as soon as they cleared up this misunderstanding.

The man with sharp features narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yan.

"Who are you?" He asked in a demanding tone. Yan didn't like it.

"Yan ju Kiantier, second prince of the Empire," Yan introduced himself. It was a title that would make anyone arrogant, but he said it without a hint of haughtiness.

"I'm also the field general of the allied Empire and Sesha forces in the fight against the Hydra." This time, pride shone through in Yan's voice.

The sharp-looking man's frown deepened.

"How unpleasant."
