Start with the Readers Chapter 267: “Game of Life”
Osterserbo Kingdom, the wall of the royal city.
"Knight Princess" Hugh Dilcha was wearing full body armor and holding a long sword. The color of worry.
Since the death of the "brave" Giuseppe Castilla in the "Demon King's Castle", the situation in the "world" has gradually deteriorated. Up to now, even "Oster Sebo" who owns the castle The big countries are besieged and it is difficult to support them. It is hard to imagine what kind of tragedy will happen to the small countries with only wooden fences.
"But I have worked so hard to level up, and I am only at level 12, which is still far away from the level 25 of the "Brave" lord... But I am already the highest level combat power in the kingdom...
"Among the monsters below, at least three of them are at the same level as me, and there is even one higher than me... If there is no city wall, and no soldiers who risk their lives to cooperate, the castle may have been breached long ago.
"Even so, we abandoned the town under the castle... But after the residents retreated into the castle, their daily food consumption was very huge. If this continues, it will take another five days at most, and they will not be able to sustain it.
"However, the knights who went to the neighboring country for help did not know whether they rushed out...
"I'm afraid that the situation in neighboring countries is not optimistic!"
"Princess Knight" Hugh Dilcha stopped after muttering a few words to himself, and a little doubt suddenly arose in his heart: Why did I say those words just now? It's like explaining the background of the story, or telling it to someone...
But these doubts disappeared in her mind immediately, making Hugh Dilcha become worried again.
Ten minutes later, the sun's light gradually disappeared, and a dark night hung on the sky.
It was time to go home and rest, but the "Knight Princess" and the soldiers couldn't help but get nervous.
Because the monsters are at their strongest at night, they tend to attack after the sun goes down.
Sure enough, when the last rays of the setting sun were covered by the night, the horn of desolation sounded, and a large number of strange monsters came out of the collapsed buildings and attacked the city wall.
Although most of the monsters are only three or four levels, and there are even some cannon fodders of one or two levels, and the elite soldiers on the kingdom's side generally have reached level five or above, but the number of opponents is really too much. The durability will disappear before sunrise, and the human side will soon be overwhelmed by countless monsters.
So killing monsters with high levels and great damage to the city wall as much as possible has become the primary goal of the kingdom's defense forces.
"On the left side of the west gate, there is a seventh-level catapulting troll. The bed crossbow team is ready to shoot!"
"On the right front of the north gate, there are three level 5 piercing demons, and the trebuchets concentrate their firepower."
"In front of the south gate, a spell-casting unit is preparing to send the adventurer team down to the city to snipe, and I will open the way!"
When the "Princess Knight" discovered the magic breath, she immediately gave the order to attack. At the same time, she jumped down the city wall holding the long sword, then concentrated her strength, swung the long sword, and released a ten-meter-long flame "Sword Qi" ", emptied more than half of the monsters in front of the opponent's "casting unit".
Immediately afterwards, a team of adventurers with an average level of 8 quickly followed up and killed the enemy "casting unit" before it was ready.
Seeing the overwhelming monsters swarming over again, Hugh Dilcha cut off his sword and let the adventurer team quickly return to the back of the city wall.
This tactic has been used many times before, so the princess and the adventurer have a good understanding. Just wait for the cooldown period of Hugh Dilcha's "Sword of Fire" skill to end, and then use the cover of this "Soldier Clearing" ability to be safe return.
But just when the ten-meter flame "sword energy" was emitted again, and when Xio was about to jump back to the city wall, an accident happened. A strange bird with a level as high as 15 appeared out of nowhere, Quickly grabbed Xio's armor, and flung her who was still jumping in the air back to the group of monsters below the city.
"Her Royal Highness!"
"Knight Princess!"
Soldiers and adventurers were shocked when they saw this, and quickly drove away the strange bird with bows and spells, and shot at the monsters below, fighting for the princess' life.
But it's obviously not very useful, because these soldiers and adventurers who are less than level 10 can't even break through the bird's defense.
Seeing that she was about to fall into the crowd of monsters, Xio calmed down instead. Although her skills were still in the cooldown period, the passive effects and basic skills brought about by her level 12 were not something ordinary monsters could resist.
It can be said that before the durability of the armor on her body is gone, monsters below level 10 will not be able to break through her defense.
But Xio obviously overlooked a problem. The strange bird grabbed her just now, and the durability of her armor has already bottomed out!
So, the "Knight Princess" who fell into the group of monsters only suffered a few heavy blows in the siege, and the full body armor suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing the long court dress she was wearing inside.
"How could this be?" Hugh Dilcha's heart suddenly despaired, because she knew that without the protection of her armor, no matter how powerful she was, she would never be able to break out of the monster's encirclement... What's more, those few Guys of the same level as him are rapidly approaching.
Is it necessary to be killed, or to be caught alive and encounter a situation that is worse than death? Xio bit his lip, and after swiping his sword to kill the monster that tried to sneak attack, he made a decision in his heart: I will fight until I die! Even killing one more monster is good!
But just as the soldiers and adventurers on the city wall cried out in grief, when the "Knight Princess" was about to call the curtain down, a figure suddenly "flashed" to her side, and with a light wave of his hand, countless sword lights shot from the monster. They stabbed out from their bodies, instantly killing them, even that level 15 monster bird was no exception!
In an instant, the battlefield, which was still shaking the sky, became quiet, leaving only the gasps of the stunned soldiers and adventurers, and the unbelievable exclamation of the "Knight Princess":
"You...are you the new 'Brave' lord?"
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but grabbed the arm of the "weird" man in front of her.
But the "Brave Man" in her eyes glanced at her strangely, then stretched out his right hand, and flicked her forehead with his fingers.
Hugh Dilcha was stunned for a while after being hit by this, and when her eyes became clear again, she suddenly showed a look of shame and indignation, and she muttered uncomfortably:
"This is what you call the 'world' behind the 'door'?
"Why did you arrange such a role for me!"
Abner squeezed his chin, and jokingly replied: "As far as I know, the arrangement of characters in this 'world' is based on the subconscious...
"That is to say, Hugh, you really want to be a princess, right?
"It's still like a princess in a 'fairy tale' story."
Having been exposed, Xio didn't refute. Who doesn't have a "princess dream"? She pursed her lips, and changed the subject abruptly: "Then what identity was assigned to you after you came in?"
"You don't know?" Abner's expression became strange again.
"Why should I know?" Xio was a little puzzled.
"Ah...it's nothing, because I got rid of the so-called 'destiny' bestowed on me by this world as soon as I came in, so I don't have any identity now." Abner replied with a smile.
This is the truth. He really has no "identity" "now", but when he first came in, he was a "playboy" persona, and he was rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with the "Princess Knight".
The "destiny" of this "world" is really unreliable... Well, it is said that the "world" has praised it, the total area is only about two-thirds of Backlund, and a country with a stone castle is considered Superpower...
Xiu naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't bother to ask any more. After all, everything here was false. She looked around the battlefield full of corpses, and after waving to the soldiers on the city wall to open the city gate, He asked again: "Where is 'Vice General Bingshan'? Where is she now?
"In addition, after I recovered my memory, why didn't my extraordinary ability recover?"
"Because the 'rules' of this 'world' are stipulated by the 'Hand of Order' in the 'Empire of Ghosts' ~IndoMTL.com~ There are no angels, so you have to follow its rules.
"And I'm special...you know..."
Speaking of which, Abner paused, then changed the subject,
"As for Edwina... the reason why I almost failed to catch up with you in the battle is because I estimated several of her possible identities were wrong...
"She is neither a 'teacher', a 'bachelor', nor a 'sage'.
"If it's not that this'world' has a cognitive bias towards her, then it means that the true yearning in her heart is probably beyond my expectations."
So, you came here so quickly, did you already know that I wanted to be a "princess"? Xio pursed his lips again, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed.
It's a good thing for a friend to know yourself, but it's a bit shameful to expose your little thoughts.
