Chapter 153: Sisa is Missing!

Sisa, despite her posture and her seemingly overcompensating hair, was in fact, not compensating anything at all, her one piece white dress outlined her immaculate body, and the knight whom she just grabbed could not help but lose focus and take a peak at a rare view in times of war, this was noticed by the mad general in front of him, Sisa removed her tight grasp of his hand and then grabbed the cheeks of the knight with her biologically abnormal large hands, her face still has that hopefully mad look.

The only difference is that Sisa started to cry.

"Haa... Haa... do... do you know... do you know... where my children are..?"

As Sisa asked such a question, it was as if the whole forest shuddered, all air in a hundred meter radius vacated the vicinity, as if afraid of the impending release of the living's strongest general's wrath.

The knight who had dared to look at her with his primordial lust also froze to place, his neck was placed on her chest, but he could not even enjoy it as he was being lifted upwards by Sisa.

"Hurk...! I... I...!"

The knight felt his windpipes closing as Sisa and gravity stretched his neck to the verge of dislocation. Thus, he found it difficult to reply, but even if he could, he was afraid his head would be snapped in half, for he could only answer "no." This thought caused the knight to despair. He slapped Sisa's hands, who was still looking at him as if he were her final hope.

_Why are you looking at me like that? I don't even know that you have children!_

Such were the knight's thoughts, maybe, her children died in the recent altercation, but he really is not sure about who in those hundreds that died were her children. It was a good thing that he was just a newbie knight that is unfortunate to be enlisted during times of war and he had not worked with a lot of people yet, thus he was not loved nor hated, soon someone came running in their direction.

"GENERAL SISA!"

The veteran knight shouted, causing Sisa who still had tears flowing out of her crazed eyes to shift her attention towards the knight, of course, still holding the poor rookie knight by the neck, however, as she smiled seeing the knight, her gripped also started to loosen, causing much relief to the newbie.

"You... you...?"

Sisa seems to be choking on her tears, but the veteran knight, obviously is very adept in handling the insane general in front of him, and thus he said.

"Yes... yes... huff... They... Crispin and Basilio... went over there..."

As he said as such, the knight pointed in a random direction, coincidentally, it was the direction of the camp of their enemy, upon seeing that, Sisa's smile became more prominent, and in a hurry she dropped the newbie knight who immediately gasped for air and ran into the direction of the enemy camp, though she doesn't know where exactly it was.

The veteran knight immediately aided the newbie, thus he did not notice Sisa once again change her expression.

"You... you... you... my children... because of you...!"

Such were her words before the space in front of her spawned numerous cubes, those cubes then seem to forcefully rip the 3rd dimension open, making the 4th dimension available.

"Give me back... my children!"

Sisa slowly walked to the crude 4th dimension as if she had not just almost strangled someone to death.

"Phew... thank you, sir."

The senior and junior knight sat on a rock lodged in two trees, until now, they were unaware of the disappearance of their general, they just knew that she would be gone for a while because of her manic episode.

"Don't worry about it, but you should really be careful and hide properly when General Sisa started to shout seemingly pointless things, that is when you know that she is about to have an episode."

The senior knight shared his experience, however, the curious man that the junior knight is, asked the question that many of the new knights have been mulling for who knows how many years already.

"I understand, senior, however,  I wonder why is general Sisa like that? Rather... what happened to her children? Did they participate in this war?"

Perhaps, because the junior knight is just a teenager and just turned eighteen, thus, he did not know of the innerworkings of the knight order's roster of generals, the senior knight frowned at this question and then started to glance around, seemingly to make sure that no one will hear what he was about to say.

"You seem to be ignorant of the chivalric order's inner workings, as you senior, I am obligated to tell you how our General Sisa was reduced to such a state."

That sentence was a little louder so that the senior knight could make it seem that it was his moral obligation to gossip about his superior, this is so that the senior knight will have a proper reason and not be sacked by his general later, the senior knight continued.

"No one is sure about it either, even I am not sure, but apparently, there was once a cult of an unknown god inside Tydings that is being desired by the king to recruit in his kingdom because of their strength, because of that, King Tydings IV used his absolute monarchial powers to give them a lot of freedom. However, to be expected of a cult, they crossed the limits of their freedom and started abducting children, and two of the children the cult abducted were General Sisa's, who was the only genius of space magic in the entire history of Tydings."

"This caused the General to be driven mad, and one thing led to another and when Sisa confirmed who is the killer of her children as well as their backer, she laid waste in the entire Tydings without remorse, at that time, cities after city disappeared overnight, swallowed whole by her space magic, only when the cult has been banished outside the kingdom did General Sisa stopped."

The senior knight, of course, exaggerated some parts, specially the part where cities after city disappeared, they just got into utter chaos, some chaos caused towns and cities to merge themselves into another territory, well they still vanished, but in a geographically short time and not overnight, yet still, such a claim sounds like an exaggeration.

However, the junior knight seeing that there is a person who can drop a literal nuclear bomb and change the weather of the world for the next year or two, became nervous.

"I... it's a good thing that you saved me there then... thank you again."

The senior knight was satisfied that the junior knight knew how to listen, he felt like the two of them would get along well.

Only if they realized that their captain had disappeared from their camp.

"Hello, Eleanor? Can I ask you something?"

As [Guide] asked such a question, he could audibly hear the sound of solid matters clashing, the roars of humans that are presumed to be battle cries, because of such sounds, he was nervous that he would be declined, fortunately, Eleanor replied to him almost immediately.

"Oh my, of course you can, I have been waiting for your call for quite a while I have something to report, you see."

Eleanor said in one breath, however, sometimes what she was saying is being drowned by the continuous sound of spells, which is unusual because the call was supposed to be in the mind.

"Oh, is it the crystal in the core of the King of Tydings?"

Eleanor affirmed with a "Yes", after which, she took about 3 seconds before continuing.

"I see, well, that's good, I don't know the exact number but the King has several Artificial Hero Prospect Crystals, and I'm gonna need you to modify the sealing magic circle of the arc reactor and give it to me and the other generals."

[Guide] was shocked at such a remark, he couldn't believe it, well, it couldn't be so easy, right?

"Are you sure?"

[Guide] questioned, as they say, confirmation is a good thing and not a doubt on one's ability, which is known by intellectuals such as Eleanor who replied immediately.

"Yes, I have used some sand to infiltrate his body, again, the sand cannot detect the exact number of crystals on his body, but the principle of the two devices is the same, only that the crystal blasts mana into the whole body, making the crystal more dangerous for people rather than the arc reactor that connects itself the the vessels of the body to naturally supply mana, so yes, I am 90% percent positive that what I suggested works."

[Guide] was once again surprised by this, as he said, he is not as flexible as a human and is yet to reach that level of free will, so he cannot help but praise Eleanor, he said "Thank You" and did not ask why can't Eleanor do it herself, that would make him look like an idiot if he cannot tell from the obvious.

So he immediately called on the capital and asked some mages who are reserved for emergences to create a paper copy of the magic circle that doesn't let the Arc reactor produce energy from what its limiter can handle, it took the mages an hour before they finally gave the copy to [Guide] via making a spider swallow the parchment paper whole.

"Now then, I just have to make the magic circle be able to stop the flow of magic completely instead of just limiting it... which is quite easier than what I have to do for the reincarnation sequence to be unsealed."

[Guide] thought of his strategy and mulled, he decided to look at the generals of the enemy before deciding on whether he needed to order a 1v1 against them using his spying spiders who have become undeads and are not under the control of Sophia.

_Hmmm...?_

Just as [Guide] was scanning all of the tent of the knight orders, he noticed something strange, soon however, his numerous eyes widened and shouted.

"SISA IS MISSING!

_______

Still, the second day of the 2nd Elven-Undead war, at night.

The only living city of Kamatayan, Bulawan City is engulfed in a solemn atmosphere, the monsters and humans in the city that normally make the main streets of the city bustle with activity are in their houses, abiding by the curfew and its details down to the final letter, the two flickering lights from the main battlefield portrays just how the fight between the two strongest of both sides vague, yet vividly on their minds.

Such scenes reminded them to be disciplined and not force their way out of the temporary martial law. Not only the civilians, even the soldiers and their captains who are tasked to man the walls have solemn expressions, this time, Bulawan City is sure to receive at least one attack, as they are the most vulnerable (relatively speaking, of course) out of all the cities and municipalities, if the enemy were to successfully took over the city, they will be able to march directly into the inner parts of the Queendom in the inner parts of the city.

They were warned of the threat of Apolaki, the empire that has some unreasonable animosity towards Kamatayan, but the Mayari Empire is currently intensifying their invasion efforts against their counterparts, so the generals of the city are not that worried.

Speaking of the generals, all of them are stretched all over the straight back side of the walls of Bulawan except for Sipnayan who is alone, alongside a band of soldiers in the front walls facing Gjallarhorn, this causes a heated argument between Agilus and Wukong, about why is a civilian member of the military is the sole defender of the front and how such an arrangement was the arrangement of Lady Sophia, of course Wukong cannot and will not blame her queen, but was still dissatisfied, but in the end he can just begrudgingly take orders.

And now, Sipnayan, the chef is in a tent, alone to think of strategies on how to eat the cupcakes he has made and ration them throughout the war, and as she did so, she cannot help but mutter.

"I hope no enemy comes..."

And, as if on cue, his ears and nose suddenly twitched, for in the far north appeared a person, and, as her post indicated, she knew by instinct that an enemy arrived.

"And I just have to wish for it..."

She muttered, what's more, is that, the person suddenly appeared, one moment the person wasn't there and the next, the person was already walking towards their direction, seeing this, Sipnayan immediately knew that the opponent was strong, and the said opponent was most certainly a general, thus he immediately wrote several simple letters, she then put out several papers with the pentagram and then activated all of them at once.

The letter will be delivered to the generals in the back of the walls, and there it says: "Get Ready to Engage"

After that, Sipnayan went out of the tent, called the captains, and made them get ready for battle, actually, this is just so that they will stay put as they might get some stray from the battle she will be (unwillingly) participate in.

After doing so, Sipnayan dashed immediately, in a speed that shouldn't belong to a chef, she immediately transversed a hundred meters in a  matter of a second, and as she reached that distance, she stopped, her vigilance now heightened to the max.

_The enemy should be in this par-_

As if to double jinx herself, just as she thought of that, she felt her whole body halt to the ground, and at the same time, she felt her chin be grabbed from above and be dragged upwards, in her back was a tall woman, her hair is covering her face, but her white less eyes is a clear indicator of her aggression.

"WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN!?"

The woman shouted, which made Sipnayan perplexed, though she didn't have to feel anything, as cubes suddenly ripped the 3rd dimension below her and the woman's feet, causing them to fall towards it.

When the rip was closed, the forest regained its silence, as if no abduction happened in the said place a second ago.
