With Lalisa taking command of the battlefield, the tide was soon turned as the attackers realised that they were being pushed back.

Lalisa had set it up so that only 4 people were needed to defend the carriage and the other 22 guards were free to kill the attackers.

Pairing up each of the guards so that their strengths complemented each other, they were able to finish the fight in less than 10 minutes, forcing them to retreat.

Watching the entire process happen, Lisa had to admit that the sight was quite scary in a way. From her perspective, Lalisa was like a conductor as everyone was under her control. Working together seamlessly, they overwhelmed the enemies despite their disadvantage in numbers.

Closing her notepad, Lalisa nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Everyone, stick with your pairs from now on since you'll be working with them in the next battle." Lalisa called out before walking back into the carriage.

Following behind her, Lisa also went inside the carriage.

"What do you think? Brute force isn't always the answer no?" Lalisa smiled towards Lisa.

"I'll admit, it is helpful. But if I had access to Celestial Raiment, I'd be able to deal with them easily." Lisa replied.

"Yes, but the problem right now is that you don't have that access do you? Well just relax for now and big sis will deal with everything. Once we need brute force, I'll call for you ok?" Lalisa chuckled.

". . . Fine." Lisa nodded after a moment.

"What? You mean almost everyone was killed???" The man widened his eyes. He had made sure that they outnumbered the enemy so that capture should only be a matter of time.

With a ratio of 3:1, he had 78 people surrounding the carriage.

"After the black haired woman exited out of the carriage, their formation seemed to have been reinforced as it was very hard to harm the guards. Each of them paired up with one another and overwhelmed us in the shortest time possible." The servant reported as his face was a little pale.

Furrowing his brows, the man thought for a moment before sighing.

"Seems like the white haired girl is one that's focused on combat while the black haired one is focused on strategy. We'll cut our losses here. Just observe them for now and don't make a single move. I want to see what they're planning to do in Teriu forest." The man ordered.

He understood that with a good strategist, brute force is a questionable approach so the best he could do right now is to just give up and think of another way.

"Understood."

As the group continued towards the forest, they noticed a lack of attackers ever since the first encounter.

"Ya think they got scared?" Lisa asked while peering out of the carriage.

"Probably. Any sane person would do so after we won a fight that had us outnumbered." Lalisa replied while flipping through her book to make any small adjustments to the guard's stat pages.

"Mn… Say, do you have any way for me to use Celestial Energy more efficiently? The current spell we have requires me to 'charge up' for quite a long time." Lisa asked since she somewhat wanted to give fighting the dragon a go.
