Chapter 178: Not interested
The transparent wall that restricts Octavir's movement is a simple and practical wind spell, which has no effect at all for some strong people, and its protection ability is even worse, so it can only trap a few ordinary people to play in it. For Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who has most of the attribute points added to agility and her own attack is not very strong, this thing can indeed have a surprising effect, but in the face of the shelling of armored vehicles, some protection ability is completely negligible.
As a large-scale magic, the destruction of a place can easily trigger a chain reaction, so when a cannonball pierces this invisible wall and falls onto the wall, the end is already sealed.
The whole city wall swayed wildly in the violent explosions one after another, and although the soldiers brought by the girl were supposed to be responsible for protecting her, they did not hesitate to target the various artillery pieces placed on the city wall, and one of them even hit the light infantry cannon that had fired at the eldest princess earlier.
You must know that in order to block Octavir's wind blade from damage to this cannon, the muscular man with a smooth and shiny head stood firmly in front of it, and now the eldest princess and the muscular man are fighting at close range, in other words, the cannonball fell not far from the girl,
Even if she didn't hit the girl directly, the explosion from the infantry cannon and its shells would have been enough to sweep her in.
"Hey, hey, are those really your soldiers, why do they fight with no regard for your safety?"
Although the hot explosive flames did not cause any substantial damage to the two people in the grappling, it also made the muscular man can't help but grab it on the spot and stomp his feet desperately. Octavir, on the other hand, looked very indifferent, completely ignoring the flames rolling around him, and continued to press his opponent step by step, ready to slash him under the sword in a short time.
"Concern for my own safety? No, I had instructed them in advance to fire at the walls like this, as long as they could destroy the counterattack here. ”
At this moment, the two of them had completely entered the sea of fire, seeing that the robbers on the city wall were in chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective defense, and the muscular man immediately gave birth to the idea of giving up entanglement with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and leaving this ghost place. So this guy temporarily forced the girl back with a fist wrapped in vindictive energy, and then hurriedly distanced himself from the other party.
"To be reasonable, you are the eldest princess of the empire, can you take such a risk in order to capture a mere pass!?"
However, the bald man's almost angry shouting did not have any effect on the girl, and after she straightened her posture, she swung her thin sword into countless dazzling shining trails again, and it seemed that she intended to leave her opponent here: "That's why I can't tolerate all kinds of trouble you are making here at this moment. It's just that the sudden arrival of the Great Demon King wiped out the main force of the army without defense, and then had to choose to give up the imperial capital, and you guys can't wait to jump out and want to find trouble and do things, do you really think that you can seize the opportunity to become the strongest in the world like Long Aotian?
The muscular man in the left and right blocks seemed a little hurried, but the counterattack on his mouth did not stop there: "I see, is this the last bit of pride and glory before the empire burns out?" This role is indeed very suitable for your Highness to play!"
Octavier's heart suddenly became angry, and he was about to strengthen his offensive to completely knock down the opponent in front of him, who was already barely defending, and when he stepped on his face a few times, several wind blades suddenly flew from the oblique stab. It wasn't very powerful, even if they carried some flames in it as they passed through the flames, but it was enough to hinder the girl's movements and give the muscular man time to do something else.
After a sword slashed the oncoming wind blade instead of crushing it head-on, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess looked at her opponent again, only to find that the object had been smashed into her feet with a hard punch. The girl then felt as if she was in the middle of an earthquake and hurried off the ground to avoid being affected, only to be greeted by a large pile of shards of cement smashed by the muscular man, forcing the eldest princess to stop and strengthen her shield to block them.
Therefore, the girl who had been delayed for a while waited for the situation to stabilize and never saw her opponent again, only a large cloud of smoke and flames obscured her vision.
"Did you escape...... Well, it's good that there is a recapture pass anyway. Octavir looked at the robbers around him who had lost their armor and hugged their heads, and he didn't bother to make a move, but he couldn't help but sigh faintly in place, "My attack is really too low, even an opponent of this level has been stalemate for a long time and finally failed to take it, so it's not okay to go on like this." ”
Charlot, who had played the whole game of soy sauce, finally jumped on the city wall at this moment, and first waved a few fighting qi to blow away the burning things nearby to clean up all the flames around the girl, and then asked her: "Your Highness, you are injured, how about you go and bandage it first?"
The eldest princess glanced at her arm and shook her head casually: "It's not in the way, it's just a skin injury." Where are the nearest reinforcements? If nothing else, the enemy's regular troops should have arrived at once. ”
"I don't know exactly where it is, but it's mostly close. Also, Your Highness, I don't understand why the other side didn't use those hidden chess pieces after the arrival of the regular troops, but wasted them on the robbers?"
Charlotte was puzzled by this, but Octavier saw the problem very thoroughly, and asked helplessly, "Why did you choose to take the initiative to go to the pass to participate in the battle when we were still in the town?"
The bewildered knight couldn't help but put a lot of question marks above his head, and his handsome image instantly collapsed into countless scum: "Uh, isn't it because the gate of the pass was broken through and robbers broke in, so we rushed over to save the scene?"
"What if it's not the robbers who break through the pass, but the elite private troops of a certain lord?"
Speaking of this, Charlotte seemed to understand something, and the look on his face slowly changed from doubt to surprise and astonishment: "If this is the case, Your Highness, you plan to take the initiative to attack, and your subordinates will definitely try their best to stop it." Bridge bean sack, could it be that the reason why the other party deliberately let the robbers take the lead is ......"
"Although the pass is important, the terrain inside Mangrove Ridge is not necessarily much better, and the old man Toronso really wants to fight a defensive battle, and he will definitely be able to drag the enemy to death with his geographical advantage and a small number of troops. As she spoke, the eldest princess suddenly raised her hand and pointed in the direction of the town she had come from, "However, this plain area is an exception, if you can trick the troops stationed in the dangerous places inside, you can easily destroy them here." What's more, there weren't many troops left in Mangrove Ridge today. ”
"The subordinates told the reinforcements to let them go back. ”
The girl slapped Charlotte on the shoulder, causing him to stop turning around: "Don't make trouble. If the pass is in the hands of the enemy, it will be nothing to let the reinforcements go back, but now that we have taken it back, why don't we use it to defend against the enemy's attack?"
"Eldest sister, you are my own sister. This city wall has just been contested, most of the artillery on it has been destroyed, and we are seriously understaffed, right, is it really a big man to fight a defensive battle in such a bad state!?"
"So you have to let the enemy's army in? I am confident that I can deal with four or five people at the same time, or even a dozen or so people, and I can remain sober and sane in the face of ten or so people, but the ordinary village girls in the town probably don't have this ability, and I am afraid that I will faint on the spot when there are too many people. ”
"Octavir Femitia, what you just said was a fight, it should be a fight to pick up arms and fight each other, it's not a strange joke, right!?"
After successfully making Charlotte blow up like a cat with its tail stepped on, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess unhurriedly brushed her soft hair that fell to the collarbone and pushed it to her back: "Of course it's a meat joke, don't you feel more emotional under my clothes now?"
"I only feel that your festival is falling down with a bang, and besides, I ask you, now that the battle is over, how about finding a dress to wear? It is not enough to leave the town in the early hours of this morning with the strange legend that Her Royal Highness the beautiful and noble eldest princess likes to fight in a nightdress, do you plan to expand the legend to the reinforcements from all over Mangrove Ridge, and finally spread it to the entire territory? Even if you don't have similar thoughts, it's not good to casually let others see this kind of clothing that is comparable to welfare in broad daylight. ”
"Well, it's a good idea to spread the legend to the entire Mangrove Ridge!" the girl's eyes lit up and her fist in her chest burned brightly, making the knight next to her who was bitterly admonishing couldn't help but have a black line on her head, "In addition, there is no one else nearby except for your group of guards, so you don't have to worry that others will enjoy my welfare shots." ”
That's true, but sometimes things tend to be unexpected. Before Octavir could finish speaking, a shadow swept through the air with a strong gust of wind, and then came to a halt not far from the walls.
It was a large dragonfly with a size like a truck, its whole body was made of dirt, and on its back sat Nangong Rong, Nakiris, and Lin Weiyin, who were carefully looking at the whole person with very strange eyes, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who was frozen and stunned on the spot.
In fact, at the beginning, Nangong Rong wanted to ask the last sentence "What are you doing" as the beginning of the conversation in a plain tone, but for some reason it became-
"I understood what was going on, Octavier had sleepwalked and ran out and wandered around, and Charlotte chased her all night and finally caught her. ”
The two who were named instantly said in unison: "It's not!"
Of course, the boy was joking, the bandits who had not escaped from sight in the distance and the traces of fierce battles around them were very telling, the eldest princess was definitely not sleepwalking out anyway, most likely it was attacked by the robbers last night, and the girl didn't even have time to change her clothes, so she went to support with her troops.
But then again, Nangong Rong found that it seemed that it was the first time he saw Octavier's nightdress with a slight workmanship in his eyes, and he couldn't help but want to take a few more looks, which was his instinctive reaction as a boy, but unfortunately it didn't come true in the end.
Because at this moment, the eldest princess's attention was all focused on the uninvited guy in front of her, and when she saw him cast her gaze, she immediately raised her hand and waved a wind blade.
"Don't look at it!"
"I don't want people to see that you can say it, don't say a word like this, just shoot directly, what are you going to do if someone dies?" Although Nangong Rong didn't appreciate any benefits from being made by the girl just now, he didn't put on a dead face and continued to stare at it, and took the initiative to turn his head and said angrily, "Hurry up and clean up, there is still a large army coming here, and we don't have much time." ”
There was really nothing of the kind nearby, but Charlot, who was next to Octavier, took out a delicate white cloak from his pocket as if by magic, and handed it to the girl: "If you don't mind that I used it to shield me from the wind and sand, please use it." ”
It seemed to be an item that the knight must carry when he went out, and the eldest princess accepted it with gratitude. However, there was one thing that made the girl feel unhappy, Nangong Rong really looked at the scenery honestly after turning her head, and she didn't have any intention of peeking at all, which couldn't help but make her feel a little uncomfortable.
Until Octavir completely covered his body with a cloak, the boy kept an eye on the vehicles of the armored mobile unit under the command of the eldest princess who were getting closer and closer, and never looked away at all.
"It's already possible. Octavier opened his mouth to signal Nangong Rong to turn his head back, but his inexplicable tone suddenly became a little cold, and he didn't seem to be very friendly, "So, what are you doing here?"
If it was replaced by an old driver, I was afraid that he would have secretly laughed at this time, but unfortunately the young man obviously did not know the hidden flag in this, and replied seriously with a businesslike appearance: "The city lord of Dresspel entrusted me to help you, I accepted, it's as simple as that." ”
Seeing this, Charlotte nearby couldn't help but sigh with his hand on his forehead, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Anyway, even if not so many things happen, under normal circumstances, these two people are destined to be unable to go together because of each other's intentions.
