Chapter 267 "Game Life"
Kingdom of Ostserbo, on the walls of the royal city.
"Princess Knight" Hugh Dilcha was wearing full armor and holding a long sword in her hand. While inspecting the defense fortifications, she looked at the countless monsters under the city. She couldn't help but have a deep look of worry on her face. color.
Since the death of the "brave" Giuseppe Castilla in the battle of "Demon King", the situation in various parts of the "world" has gradually deteriorated. Now, even a big country with a castle like "Osterserbo" has been destroyed It was besieged and difficult to support. It is difficult to imagine what kind of tragedy would happen to those small countries with only wooden fences.
"But I have worked hard to level up until now, and I am only at level 12, which is still far away from the original level 25 of the 'brave'... But I am already the highest-level combat power in the kingdom...
"And among the monsters below, there are at least three that are on the same level as me, and one is even higher than me... If there were no city walls and the cooperation of the soldiers who risked their lives, the castle would have been breached long ago.
"Even so, we abandoned the town under the castle... But after the residents retreated to the castle, their daily food consumption was very huge. If this continues, it will be unsustainable in five days at most.
"However, the knights who went to neighboring countries to ask for help didn't know whether to rush out...
"I'm afraid that the situation in neighboring countries is not optimistic either!"
"Princess Knight" Hugh Dilcha just murmured a few words and then stopped. Suddenly, some doubts 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 soon disappeared from her mind, and Hugh Dilcha became worried again.
Ten minutes later, the sun's rays gradually disappeared, and a dark night covered the sky.
This is the time when they should go home and rest, but the "Knight Princess" and the soldiers couldn't help but become nervous.
Because those monsters are at their strongest at night, they often attack after the sun goes down.
Sure enough, when the last ray of sunset was obscured by the night, a desolate horn sounded, and a large number of strange monsters emerged from the collapsed buildings and attacked the city wall.
Although most of the monsters are only level three or four, and there are even some cannon fodder of one or two levels, and the elite soldiers on the kingdom's side are generally level five or above, the number of the opponents is too much. If the durability of the city wall is in Japan If all is lost before exiting, the human side will soon be overwhelmed by countless monsters.
Therefore, trying to snipe and kill monsters with high levels and high destructive power on the city wall has become the primary target of the kingdom's defense force.
"On the left side of the west gate, there is a level seven stone-throwing troll. The crossbow team is ready, shoot!"
"In front of the right side of the north gate, there are three level five piercing demons, and the trebuchets are concentrating their firepower."
"Directly in front of the south gate, there is a spell-casting unit preparing. Let the adventurer team go down to the city to snipe. I will open the way!"
After discovering the magic aura, "Princess Knight" immediately issued an order to attack. At the same time, she jumped down the city wall with a long sword. Then she concentrated her strength, swung the long sword, and emitted a ten-meter-long flame "sword aura". Most of the monsters in front of the opponent's "casting unit" were cleared.
Immediately afterwards, a group of adventurers with an average level of 8 quickly followed up and killed the enemy "spell-casting unit" before it could complete its preparations.
Seeing the overwhelming monsters surrounding them again, Hugh Dilcha broke his sword and asked the adventurer team to quickly return behind the city wall.
This tactic has been used many times before, so the princess and the adventurer have a very tacit understanding. They just wait for the cooldown period of Hugh Dilcha's "Flame Sword" skill to end, and then use the cover of this "clearing troops" ability to return safely.
But just when the ten-meter flame "Sword Qi" was emitted again, and Xio was about to jump back to the city wall, an accident happened. A strange bird with a level of up to 15 appeared out of nowhere and caught it at extremely fast speeds. He took off Xiu's armor and threw her, still jumping in the air, back into the group of monsters below the city.
"your Highness!"
"Princess Knight!"
The soldiers and adventurers were shocked when they saw this. They quickly used bows, arrows and spells to drive away the strange bird, and shot the monsters below to fight for the princess's life.
But this is obviously of little use, because these soldiers and adventurers who are less than level 10 cannot even break through the bird's defense.
Seeing that she was about to fall into a group of monsters, Xio calmed down. Although her skills were still in the cool-down period, the passive effects and basic skills brought by her own level 12 were not something ordinary monsters could withstand.
It can be said that before the durability of her armor is lost, monsters below level 10 cannot even try to break through her defense.
But Xio apparently ignored one problem. The moment the strange bird grabbed her just now, her armor had already worn out!
Therefore, the "Princess Knight" who fell into the swarm of monsters only suffered a few heavy blows during the siege, and her armor suddenly shattered into pieces, revealing the long palace dress she was wearing underneath.
"How could this happen?" Hugh Dilcha suddenly felt desperate, because she understood that without the protection of the armor, no matter how powerful she was, she would never be able to break out of the surrounding monsters... What's more, those few who were on the same level as herself The same guys are rapidly approaching.
Do you want to be killed, or be captured alive and face a situation worse than death? Xio bit her lip, and after swinging her sword to kill the monster that tried to sneak attack, she made a decision in her 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 sadly, and when the "Knight Princess" was about to take its final call, a figure suddenly "flashed" to her side, and then with a gentle wave of his hand, countless sword lights came out from the monsters' bodies. Stab out and kill instantly, even that level 15 strange bird is no exception!
In an instant, the battlefield that was still filled with loud killings fell silent, leaving only the gasps of the stunned soldiers and adventurers, and the disbelieving screams of the "Knight Princess":
"You...are you the new 'brave' man?"
After saying that, she couldn't help but grab the arm of the "strangely" dressed man in front of her.
But the "brave" in her eyes glanced at her strangely, then stretched out his right hand and flicked her forehead with his finger.
Hugh Dilcha was stunned for a long time after receiving this blow. When her eyes became clear again, she suddenly showed a look of shame and anger. She muttered uncomfortably:
“This is the ‘world’ behind the ‘door’ you call?
"How could such a role be assigned to me!"
Abner pinched his chin and replied jokingly: "As far as I know, the arrangements of characters in this 'world' are all based on subconscious...
"In other words, Xio, you really want to be a princess, right?
"She's still like a princess in a 'fairy tale' story."
Xio, who had his thoughts exposed, did not refute. Who doesn't have a "princess dream"? She pursed her lips and abruptly changed the subject: "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 confused.
"Ah...it's nothing. I got rid of the so-called 'destiny' given to 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 does have no "identity" "now", but when he first came in, he had the character of a "playboy" and was rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with the "Knight Princess".
The "destiny" of this "world" is indeed unreliable... Well, even the "world" praises it. The total area is only about two-thirds of Backlund, and a country with a stone castle is considered a superpower... …
Xio naturally didn't believe it, but she didn't bother to ask anymore. After all, everything here was false. She looked around at the battlefield full of corpses, waved to the soldiers on the wall and asked them to open the city gate, and then asked : "Where is 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'? Where is she now?
"Also, after I recovered my memory, why didn't my extraordinary abilities recover?"
"Because the 'rules' of this 'world' are stipulated by the 'Hand of Order' in the 'Ghost Empire'. If you don't have an angelic personality, you have to follow its rules.
"And I'm special...you know..."
Having said this, Abner paused, then changed the subject and said,
"As for Edwina...the reason why I almost missed the fight here is because my estimates of her possible identities were wrong...
“She is neither a ‘teacher’, a ‘bachelor’, nor a ‘sage’.
"If this 'world' doesn't have a cognitive bias towards her, then it means that her true yearning in her heart is probably beyond my expectation."
So, if you came here so quickly, did you already know that I wanted to be a "princess"? Xio pursed her lips again, not knowing whether to be happy or depressed.
It's a good thing for your friends to know you, but it's still a bit shameful to have your own little thoughts exposed.
